    The episode chronicles the disappearance and murder of Lea Porter, a 19-year-old from Colorado who vanished in 2014. After her family initiated a private investigation, police focus shifted toward Christopher Waide, a former high school acquaintance and criminal justice student who initially claimed to be helping her stay sober.
