Texas nurse Lacey Lyn Overby allegedly decided to help a homeless man on February 1, 2024 by buying him some food. She alleges that as she opened her car window to hand the food to him, he reached in, opened the door to her vehicle and abducted her. She managed to send a text to her daughter with their code words ‘purple pancakes’, so her family knew she was in trouble. She also managed to text a description of her abductor.

This man allegedly forced Lacey to drive hours to the Mexican border. Just before they got there, he told her to drive over the border for 20 miles. He then got out of the car. Lacey was found by authorities, waiting alone in her car, in line to cross the border.

Since Lacey’s safe recovery, there have been no updates from police, leading many to speculate if this was a true abduction or not.

In 2015, Denise Huskins was in bed asleep with her boyfriend Aaron Quinn in California. They were awoken with lasers being pointed on their wall. The couple were bound and their eyes were covered with blacked out goggles. Aaron was warned that if he called police, there would be consequences. Denise was then abducted.

Two days later, Denise’s abductor released her outside of her family home. Police did not believe Aaron and Denise’s stories and accused them publicly of lying and wasting police resources. The couple eventually received a multi-million dollar settlement when their story was proven to be true and a man was arrested.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the possible abduction of Lacey Lyn Overby, as well as the abduction and recovery of Denise Huskins.
