In 2017, 33-year-old private investigator and former police officer Taylor Wright vanished in after heading out to meet a friend.

In 2011, 27-year-old Lauren Giddings was studying for the bar exam. She had told friends and family that she would be out of contact during this time so she could give her full attention. For this reason, it took everyone in her life longer than it normally would have to realize she was missing.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Lauren Giddings. Police eventually began to zero in on one of Lauren's neighbors, Stephen McDaniel. Stephen was a 25-year-old law student who was described as odd and a loner. What police uncovered would shock everyone.
