What Happened to Joseph Smedley? Episode Two: Someone Knows Something

The morning after Joseph Smedley vanished, his sister received a text message from his phone: “Viv, I’m sorry. I have to leave the country…”

Hours later, police discovered a handwritten note in his room, signed Smedley and dated a day after he disappeared.

In this episode, we follow the first week of the investigation: the confusion, the missteps, and the rumors that began inside Joseph’s fraternity.

What did his brothers mean when they said he was hiding things?

And what did Vivianne find on Joseph’s laptop that made her question everything they told her?

Ten years later, these details still raise more questions than answers, about Joseph’s last hours, and about how far institutions will go to protect themselves.
