Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn't commit, or imagine your child's killer is still on the loose even though there's enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.

After 22-year-old Dru Sjodin disappeared from a mall parking lot in Grand Forks, North Dakota, a massive search began, ultimately leading investigators to a likely suspect.
