Late on July 4th, 2010, 19-year-old Shonda Townsend, a kind mother of one, disappears on a drive home after celebratory fireworks in Palo Pinto, Tx. Months later, her remains would be found. Why would anyone murder Shonda? 

Staff Sergeant Jessica Mitchell, a shy, hardworking, intelligent 30-year-old mother, went out on New Year's Eve 2020 with friends, happily posting on her socials. She left the 4th Quarter Sports bar at 2:00 am, only to be followed and gunned down by a red SUV, shocking the community of San Antonio and the military base Fort Sam Houston. Who would want Jessica dead? Join Arlene and Leah as they dig deep into the case, find clues police have found, and explore the theories.
