18 year-old Kelsey Smith was at her local Target store in Kansas buying a present for her boyfriend. She called her mother and told her she'd be home soon...but Kelsey never returned home. The Police, the FBI, and the whole community were soon searching for Kelsey. Everyone, in fact, was trying to help the Smith family find their daughter...everyone except the one company that had the ability to find her. Kelsey's disappearance would start a campaign that would tackle head-on one of the largest corporations in America, and ultimately, change the way law enforcement is conducted in the USA today.
