Summary
For 35-year-old Crystal Rogers, nothing was more important than her family - her parents, her four kids, and her long-term boyfriend, Brooks. So on July 4th weekend, 2015, when all of these people realized that none of them had heard from her in days, panic ensued. Her car was soon found abandoned on the side of the highway. It had a flat tire and her purse, cell phone, and wallet were all left inside the vehicle. So what happened? Was she abducted? Did she take off? As the police and her parents begin to investigate separately, they find more questions than answers. And when the cops connect her disappearance to two other murders in the area, a picture starts to come into focus. The journey to finding out what happened to Crystal WILL LEAVE YOU SCREAMING. So, you know, come scream with us.
