On March 10th, 2011 Eric Lee Franks posted a cryptic message on Twitter and later that day spoke to his mom on the phone, sharing good news about his living situation and that he was moving out of the Miller Motel in Bridgeport Township, Michigan. He had moved there months earlier to be close to a daughter he had only recently found out about. According to people that knew Eric well, this was the last time he was heard from. Months went by before Eric's mom reported him missing. And as startling clues emerged, attention was turned to his ex-girlfriend and her husband. The end results will leave you in disbelief and shock as Jason and Daisy discuss this case, as well as conversations both Jason and Daisy had with Eric's mom Joanne Franks.

In this Season 1 finale, Jason takes you back to 1976, when a local Grundy County, Illinois farmer and his granddaughter discovered the body of a young black female lying nude in a ditch with a red and black sweater wrapped around her head covered in plastic. She had been shot in the head and dumped there at least a day prior. For many years, investigators attempted to find her relatives and identify her; however now they are perhaps one step closer to solving this mystery. A dedicated staff at the Grundy County Medical Examiners Office has been working tirelessly in making sure that her case is put to rest.

In 1976 a heavy vehicle operator was clearing land near a phosphate mine in Dixie County, Florida when he noticed an object that appeared to resemble a skull hidden in the woods. The Dixie County Sheriffs Office responded to the scene and began a process of trying to identify these skeletal remains that would take thirty plus years. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country in Fairfield, California, the mother of James Berkeley Norris was searching for her son after he flew to Florida under an assumed name and over $10,000 on a quest to purchase Colombian marijuana. In the 1990s, her daughter Rosemary would take the quest over and bring James' case to light in the online community. Decades passed before an inquisitive detective in Florida found James' profile and decided to work with what he had. And it worked. Now the question remains: Who Killed James Norris?

NOTE: ORANGE SOCKS JANE DOE HAS SINCE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS DEBRA LOUISE JACKSON OF TEXAS. THIS RECORDING WAS DONE PRIOR TO HER IDENTIFICATION.

On Halloween night in 1979, a motorist saw the nude body of a young woman lying in a culvert in Georgetown, Texas. She had been strangled and sexually assaulted, and was found only wearing a pair of orange socks. A number of events led investigators to believe that Henry Lee Lucas, a known serial killer, was the culprit. Lucas would confess to murdering her, receiving the death penalty because of this. However, Governor George Bush would later change the sentence to life because he believed Lucas' recantment. Now, investigators need to connect some dots and find out who she was and how she ended up in the culvert.
