Sister Vanishes After Calling Home Terrified from a Walmart
A two-minute phone call from a Walmart in Midland, Texas, was the last anyone heard from Caitlyn Marie Denison. She told her sister she was terrified, with a man who frightened her, before her signal died and she was gone. What happened in those crucial moments after she walked out the store?
In this episode, we analyze the conflicting accounts surrounding Caitlyn Denison's disappearance, from her journey to Texas for work to the chilling phone call that contradicts the only witness's story. How could two versions of her last known day be so different, and why has this central contradiction never been resolved?
