June 1, 1983 — a summer day in Louisville turns into every parent’s nightmare. Twelve-year-old Ann Gotlib rides her red bicycle to the mall and never comes home. What follows is one of Kentucky’s most haunting mysteries: a desperate search, countless leads, and decades of unanswered questions.

In this first of a three-part season 1 finale, hosts Marcus Roland and Emily Steele retrace the day Ann disappeared, explore the cultural and political backdrop of the early 1980s, and revisit the investigation that transfixed a city and helped forever change how America responds when a child goes missing.
