Alonzo Brooks was just 23 years old when he attended a rural house party near La Cygne, Kansas, on April 3, 2004. By the end of the night, all of his friends had left, and Alonzo found himself stranded an hour from home. He was never seen alive again.

Nearly a month later, Alonzo’s body was found near the farmhouse, raising disturbing questions about why multiple searches had failed to locate him sooner. His family has spent two decades seeking justice and fighting the silence of a community unwilling to speak up.

In this episode, we carefully examine the troubling circumstances around Alonzo’s disappearance, the flawed initial investigation, and why the FBI reopened his case as a potential hate crime. Alonzo’s story shines a light on systemic failures, racial injustice, and the powerful silence that can surround suspicious deaths.
