A mother's intuition and a sister's unexplainable spiritual experience drive the desperate search for Michael Keith Gorley after his Ford Explorer is discovered partially submerged in a pond on Wilderness Trail Road in Lincoln County, Kentucky.

Sandra Hasty and Jennifer Gorley Coffey take us through the bewildering days following Michael's disappearance, revealing a web of suspicious circumstances that point to something far more sinister than a simple missing persons case. The timeline begins when two women with questionable backgrounds arrive at Sandra's home to report the truck in the pond—women who would later appear with freshly washed hair, makeup, and clean clothes during the search.

The family's account systematically dismantles the narrative that Michael was behaving erratically or intoxicated. His grandmother and two uncles confirm he was perfectly lucid when seeking help to retrieve his vehicle. But the most compelling element emerges when Jennifer experiences something unprecedented—a loud, stern voice repeatedly commanding her to "find Michael," a directive that proves eerily prescient as contradictions in witness statements begin to surface.

Every turn in this investigation raises more questions: Why would the person who claimed Michael was at their home at 11 PM later insist he'd left walking between 8-9 PM? Why did the women nervously prevent Jennifer from approaching a shed and field area behind the property? Why did an acquaintance attempt to flee upon recognizing Jennifer? 

From a mysterious blood-like substance on the vehicle registration to inexplicable gaps in the police investigation, this episode exposes the frustrating reality many families face when seeking answers about missing loved ones. Listen as Jennifer describes the moment she's inexplicably told to shake hands with one of the last people to see her brother—a gesture that will reveal something crucial about Michael's fate.
