With witness accounts, chilling clues, and a suitcase mysteriously found months later, this case continues to raise more questions than answers. Tune in as we shed light on Christi's story, a haunting reminder that even in small towns, secrets can run deep.

In this final chapter we bring it full circle by talking with Felicia, Tyler's older sister who was the person I met at the beginning of this story's journey. It was Felicia I first met with the idea of my story and with her help, I was able to bring it to reality, and with your help, each of you listening out there, we kept the light on for Tyler and will continue to do so.

NOTE:

This episode was recorded before Tyler was found so when I am talking with Felicia, at the time of the interview, Tyler was still missing. Tyler has since been found and the family needs space and support to grieve.

Thank you for listening!

Jumping in with breaking news, as male remains were found less than 1,000 yards from the home of Tyler Goodrich. Too soon to tell and authorities have not made confirmation, but it appears the remains have been there for over a year according to the Chief Deputy.
