Content warning: this episode contains graphic descriptions of abuse against a child that resulted in that child's death - please use caution when listening.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Hannah Kobayashi, please contact Crimestoppers or the LAPD.

Update on the Arely Proctor murder trial: An article from The Independent clarifies that Judge Hanley Chew has indeed ruled that Claudia Hernandez, Rene "Aaron" Hernandez Santos, and Rene Trigueros Hernandez will stand trial for the death of 3 year old Arely Proctor. Trial was set for August, but no further updates have been posted as of yet.

Arely Proctor was 3 years old and 38lbs when she was severely abused and strangled to death by her mother, uncle, and grandfather. She deserved a beautiful life full of love and care, but instead she died at the hands of her own immediate family members under the guise of an exorcism.
