One Crime At A Time

Ep 47 - Brookelyn Farthing


Listen Later

In the quiet, pre-dawn hours of a Kentucky summer morning, a cell phone screen lights up. It's a text from 18-year-old Brookelyn Farthing, and it's short and chilling: “I’m scared.” A few moments later, another message follows: “Please hurry.” Then, about an hour later, a final, bewildering text comes through that completely contradicts the fear from before. It just says, “Never mind.” After that message, Brookelyn Farthing was gone. She vanished from a remote house, leaving behind her purse, her shoes, and a fire that investigators would later call suspicious. Her story is a tangled mess of confusing timelines, questionable stories, and a family's decade-long search for answers that just won't come.
