The episode details the disappearance and murder of Jennifer Blagg and her six-year-old daughter, Abby, in Grand Junction, Colorado, in 2001. Initially, police investigate Michael Blagg, Jennifer's husband and Abby's father, who reported them missing. Although he maintains his innocence and initially appears distraught, investigators uncover inconsistencies in his story and learn about marital problems exacerbated by Michael's pornography addiction and controlling behavior. The discovery of Jennifer's body at a landfill, specifically in trash originating from Michael's workplace, along with a tip about his unusual trash disposal habits on the day of the disappearance, leads to his arrest and two subsequent convictions for Jennifer's murder, despite Abby's body never being found.
