Nelda Hardwick disappeared in 1993 after leaving her home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. What was supposed to be a quick trip to the store turned into devastating mystery for her family that is still on-going.

Nearly five years after Nelda left home, an unidentified woman was struck and killed along Interstate 10 in Hancock County, Mississippi. Many believe that Jane Doe was Nelda, and the similarities were striking—but when her body was exhumed years later, the truth revealed something no one expected. 

Please join returning guest Elaine Erickson and I for a discussion on this compelling case--which involves a missing person, a jane doe, a courtroom battle, and even a natural disaster.
