She Never Made It To Her Fiancé // Morgan Patten

On November 8, 2019, 24-year-old Morgan Patten traveled 13 hours to Jacksonville, North Carolina, to visit her fiancé. She made it to Jacksonville, but never made it to see her fiancé. Instead, she ended up in a truck with two Marines she didn’t know…and within hours, she was dead on a dark and desolate road. Officials called it a drunk-driving accident. Morgan’s parents say the evidence tells a different story. In this episode, Margot pieces together Morgan’s final hours. We explore security footage, bar receipts, and text messages exchanged between the two Marines, Hunter Wells and Charles Cornwall. We explore disturbing inconsistencies in the investigation, forensic red flags, unexplained DNA, and the question at the heart of this case: How did Morgan end up in that truck? For six years, Morgan’s parents have carried the burden of uncovering the truth. They have funded their own investigators, hired forensic experts, and fought to have evidence released for independent testing. Their search has uncovered shocking details that have never before been publicly unpacked in this way. If you know something about that night… it’s time to come forward. 👉 Morgan’s GoFundMe for independent DNA testing: https://gofund.me/55ec4c4f0 👉 More about Morgan’s Miles to Go Foundation: https://www.morgansmilestogo.com/ ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?
