On May 2, 1995, 15-year-old sophomore Kiplyn Davis vanished during a lunch break at Spanish Fork High School in Utah, leaving behind her purse, makeup, and schoolbooks. What began as a missing persons case quickly turned into one of Utah’s most baffling mysteries, met with a frustrating wall of small-town rumors and shifting stories.
