When Sarah visits the current owners of the former Schmidt family farm, she learns of a series of mysterious break-ins at the property… in which the intruders seemed less interested in stealing valuables than in finding something specific, buried in the barn’s rafters.

Host Sarah Cailean continues to unravel the details of the case of Misty Copsey.

Sarah sits down with local investigative reporter Sean Robinson to discuss. If these clothes weren’t Misty’s, why was Misty’s mother adamant that they were?

In September 1992, 14-year-old Misty Copsey goes to the Washington State Fair with her best friend. Misty doesn’t make it home that night, and she is never seen again.
