Cari was a single mother completely devoted to her son, and talked to her mother daily, so for her to just go spend the night at a new guy’s house, not come home for a week, not call or anything– it just wasn’t like her. Her friends, family, and coworkers tried to call and text her, and when she didn’t answer, they started to fear the worst. Unfortunately, they had no idea the tangled web of lies that would unravel and lead to a devastating consequence.  Go to https://www.Seed.com/ae and use code 25AE to get 25% off your first month.

On September 29, 2012, a haunting phone call came into 911 in Estes Park, Colorado. The caller seemed out of breath and said, "My wife has fallen off the north-south summit of Deer Mountain." His wife had just fallen off of a 130-ft cliff in Rocky Mountain National Park. What seemed like a freak accident quickly turned into one of the most bizarre and complex web of lies in Colorado history.  Microdose: To learn more about microdosing THC go to https://www.microdose.com and use code AE to get free shipping & 30% off your first order.

When Ashley didn’t answer multiple calls or texts, her mom thought it was weird because signing the lease for the new place was of course really important and something that Ashley had been excited about. Plus, she never just ignored her moms calls, especially if they had plans. So her mom decided to try to get ahold of some of her friends to see what was going on, like maybe her phone was dead, maybe she overslept after being out all night - but Ashley’s friends said they hadn’t been with her the night before, and that she had gone to hang out with Jared that night. Her mom asked around until she found Jared’s number, and then she called him. Except, Jared didn’t answer… because Ashley was no longer alive.  PDS: Go to https://www.pdsdebt.com/save to get your free debt assessment today Nuts.com Go to https://www.nuts.com/ae to get a free gift with purchase and free shipping on orders of $29  Shopify  Go to https://www.shopify.com/serialously to get a one-dollar-per-month trial period  Apostrophe Go to https://www.apostrophe.com/ae and use code AE to get your first visit for only $5!  Shop the Merch: www.shop10tolife.com    Follow the podcast on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@serialouslypodcast      Follow the podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialouslypod/     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/annieelise     All Social Media Links: https://www.flowcode.com/page/annieelise_     SERIALously FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/SERIALouslyAnnieElise/     About Me: https://annieelise.com/     For Business Inquiries: 10toLife@WMEAgency.com  Audio Credits: Wood TV8: https://www.youtube.com/@WOODTV MLive: https://www.youtube.com/@mlive LPR Presents: https://www.youtube.com/@LPRPresents
