#329 - In July of 2015, thousands of people gathered along the river for a weekend of music, camping, and wakeboarding. The annual event known as WakeFest was supposed to be a carefree summer getaway, a place where friends could relax, drink, and enjoy the water.

But by the end of that weekend, one of the campers would be dead.

Twenty-one-year-old Lauren Agee had been camping on a steep cliff overlooking the river with friends she trusted. Sometime during the night, she disappeared from the campsite.

Hours later, her body was discovered hundreds of feet below in the water.

At first, investigators believed it was a tragic accident, that Lauren had fallen from the cliff in the dark.

But when her family began asking questions, they uncovered troubling details that didn’t seem to add up. Injuries that appeared inconsistent with a simple fall. A chaotic campsite. Conflicting witness statements. And a crime scene that many believe was never properly investigated.

More than a decade later, the circumstances surrounding Lauren’s death remain fiercely debated.

Was it truly an accident?

Or did something far more sinister happen on that cliff that night?
