Summary

15-year-old Sierra LaMar left home to walk to her bus stop on a Friday morning near her California home. Although a man was convicted of murdering her five years later, Sierra has never been found. The authorities were able to narrow down the timeline of when Sierra was taken to around ten minutes. But the details that eventually emerged were shocking.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Antolin Garcia-Torres. Even as the evidence began mounting against him, Antolin maintained his innocence. His defense team was able to delay his trial for years and mounted a spirited defense. How the jury interpreted the evidence was key. The big question was around sentencing and whether they would hand down life or death.
