Summary
In this episode, we'll speak about two disappearances and one murder in New York's Chautauqua County. Some online sleuths have wondered whether or not the cases are linked. But in our conversations with advocate Merry Williams-Diers, we learned that the truth is likely far more complicated.
We first heard about Merry via this article in the Niagara Gazette.
