A One-Way Trip: The Unsolved Mystery of Patti Adkins

On June 29, 2001, Patricia “Patti” Adkins clocked out of her shift at the Honda plant in Marysville, Ohio, and stepped into what was supposed to be the beginning of a secret getaway with a man she thought she knew. But she was never seen again.

With no body, no crime scene, and a web of lies surrounding her disappearance, investigators were left with a chilling mystery. Was Patti the victim of a calculated plan? What really happened that night?

In this episode, we unravel the strange details of the case, the suspicious circumstances surrounding her last known moments, and the lingering questions that remain more than two decades later.
