Episode 13: Faithe Ely – Wewoka, OK

Just hours after receiving a memorial album for her late brother, Faithe Ely was dead. The official story? A hit-and-run. But the evidence tells a different story—one her family is still fighting to have heard.

Episode Summary

In this powerful episode of True Crime Unwind, we travel to Wewoka, Oklahoma, for the tragic and deeply troubling story of 23-year-old Faithe Morgan Ely. A devoted mother of two, Faithe was determined to rebuild her life after struggling through loss, addiction, and hardship. But just hours after meeting with her mother on March 28, 2021, Faithe was found dead on the side of Highway 56.

Authorities quickly ruled her death a hit-and-run, but Faithe’s family—and the evidence—tell a different story. There were no skid marks, no debris, and no physical signs that she had ever been struck by a vehicle. Instead, suspicious injuries and contradictions in witness statements suggest something much more sinister may have occurred.

We spoke with Faithe’s mother, Amanda, who shared the heartbreak of losing her daughter, the troubling red flags surrounding the investigation, and the family’s continued fight for justice. From overlooked evidence to stunning confessions, this episode uncovers the many ways the system may have failed Faithe—and what her family is doing to make sure she is not forgotten.
