In this episode, Ashley discusses the 2018 unsolved disappearance of 16-year-old Karli Lain Guse. After a night of partying, Karli called her stepmother to pick her up. She was clearly in a state of distress and paranoia. No one called the hospital, no one stayed up to keep an eye on her, no one helped her.... where did she go, what happened to her and will we ever know what she was really going through?

There is a $10,000 reward that is being offered for any information about Karli or the case. If anyone has any information about her, is asked to call the Mono County Sheriff’s Office at 760-932-5678 or email karliegusetips@monosheriff.org. You can also call the FBI Sacramento field office at 916-746-7000 or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.
