Karissa Boudreau was only 13 years old when her mother lured her to an empty area, strangled her, hid her body, then reported her missing. Savannah explores how Penny Boudreau, Karissa's mother and killer, attempted to trick police by staging a sexual assault and lying about the events of that fateful day. Savannah details the investigation into Karissa's "disappearance," as well as Penny's sickening motive for the killing, to ensure that her then-boyfriend, Vernon Macumber, doesn't break up with her.
