Be sure to also check out our appearance on their show that will come out next Sunday, June 20th, wherever you listen to your podcasts! A young woman was unexpectedly found dead, and her mother suspected something more sinister - possibly her drifter husband - was to blame.

With their daughter missing, her devastated parents relied on law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation. To their dismay, the case was passed between departments and delayed long enough for key evidence to be lost. Despite sufficient evidence for officers to identify a suspect, they needed his cooperation to close the case. All the suspect was willing to do was plead the fifth.
