Summary

In 2007, 17-year-old Kara Kopetsky walked out of her high school and was never seen again. Everyone close to Kara felt that her abusive ex-boyfriend was behind her disappearance, however investigators were unable to firmly tie him to Kara’s disappearance. In 2016, 21-year-old Jessica Runions also disappeared in a nearby Missouri town. The man she was last seen with? Kara’s ex-boyfriend, Kylr Yust. It wasn’t until one of Yust’s close family members confessed to his involvement that investigators were able to finally start to piece together what had happened to both Kara and Jessica and finally bring justice and closure to them and their families.
