The source material provides an extensive overview of the disappearance of two-year-old Teekah Lewis from the New Frontier Lanes bowling alley in Tacoma, Washington, in January 1999. The episode describes the frantic search that followed, noting that Teekah vanished from the arcade section in a matter of seconds, leaving behind only her purse and a toy. Crucially, the account reveals prior incidents of sexual assault and attempted abductions at the venue in the months before Teekah's disappearance, suggesting the alley was a target for predators. The article chronicles the slow-burning, decades-long investigation focusing on various suspects, including a pockmarked man seen near the arcade, a maroon Pontiac sedan, and a bizarre, separate attempt to abduct Teekah's baby sister. Despite years of effort by law enforcement and the unyielding advocacy of Teekah's mother, Theresa Czapiewski, the case remains unsolved, though it spurred significant changes in child safety protocols.
