Pearl Pinson was just 15 years old when she was violently abducted from a pedestrian bridge in Vallejo, California, on the morning of May 25, 2016. Despite witnesses, immediate police response, and a quickly identified suspect, Fernando Castro, Pearl vanished without a trace.

In this episode, we explore Pearl’s life, the terrifying details of her abduction, the investigation and pursuit of her abductor, and the enduring mystery of her disappearance. We also discuss the ongoing efforts by her family to honor her memory, including a campaign to rename the bridge where she was last seen, and their relentless hope to one day bring Pearl home.
