December 29 - The disappearance of Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible

On December 29, 1999, two best friends in rural Oklahoma—Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible—celebrated Ashley’s 16th birthday with a sleepover. By morning, Ashley’s family home was in flames, both her parents were dead from gunshot wounds, and the girls were missing. What followed was a decades-long search marred by early investigative missteps, chilling rumors, and a trail that led to a shocking break years later involving disturbing Polaroids and witness testimony.

In this episode of Day by Day: True Crime Stories, host Kona Gallagher walks through the devastating case that became one of Oklahoma’s most haunting unsolved crimes. From the tragedy in Welch to the long road to an arrest—and the painful reality that Ashley and Lauria are still missing—this episode unpacks the timeline, the failures, and the resilience of two families determined to find the truth.
