Summary

In 2003, Lori McLeod and her daughter, Kaysi, were living a modest, quiet life in rural Colorado. Lori occasionally visited a nearby casino to play her favorite card games—a small escape from her everyday routine. There, she met Scott Kimball. He was assisting his mother in a wheelchair when he struck up a friendly conversation with Lori. Scott’s warm demeanor, easy humor, and apparent devotion to his mother made a strong impression. To Lori, he seemed genuine, kind, and trustworthy. But the man she met that night was nothing like the person he truly was.
