In March 2014, 24-year-old D’Lisa Kelley—pregnant and full of life—left her Dallas home to attend a funeral. She never came back. Hours later, she was heard on a phone call screaming for help. Her family pleaded with police to track her phone, but delays and missteps followed. Days later, her body was found brutally murdered, discarded beneath a bridge.

Nearly a decade later, D’Lisa’s family is still searching for justice. Her case has become a symbol of systemic failure—of what happens when a woman's screams are heard… but not acted on.

What really happened to D’Lisa that day? Why did it take so long for authorities to respond? And has her killer been hiding in plain sight?

Join Arlene and Leah as they examine the victim, timeline, evidence, and suspects.
