Stranger Drives 300 Miles to Visit Missing Woman's Daughter
Stranger Drives 300 Miles to Visit Missing Woman's Daughter
A woman drove 300 miles from Colorado to give a grieving teenager $50, claiming to know the family for years, only to deny ever meeting them to the lead investigator. Why would someone travel so far to offer condolences for a missing woman they claim not to know?
In this episode, we analyze the perplexing visit of a woman named Wendy to the daughter of Melissa Casias, a mother who vanished without a trace in northern New Mexico. We explore the conflicting accounts of her visit and the mysterious phone number she left behind, which has become the most puzzling element in a case full of unanswered questions.
