In this episode, we investigate one of the most disturbing true-crime cases in recent Michigan history — the disappearance and tragic death of a 22-year-old pregnant woman whose case has raised serious questions about family violence, mental health breakdowns, and systemic failure in rural Michigan.

We break down:
• The final 24 hours before she vanished  
• The search that uncovered troubling clues  
• The shocking discovery in the woods  
• The accusations against her own mother and stepfather  
• How Michigan’s overwhelmed safety net failed her  
• Why this case matters statewide  

This is a painful but necessary conversation — and one that exposes the deeper truth about the systems meant to protect our most vulnerable.
