Our story begins in the quiet suburban town of Closter, New Jersey.

It's a warm summer night in July of 1969,

and teenage sisters Karen and Denise Falasca left home to see a movie.

But in a last minute change of plans,

Denise told Karen to go on without her, promising to meet her later.

But Denise never made it home.

When Denise's body was found the next day, her sister Karen was left with more questions than answers.

Questions that would haunt her for decades and later to take matters into her own hands to

find her sister's killer.

That's where I come in.

When I met Karen in 2017, she was still searching for answers about the night Denise disappeared.

I spent years with her, chasing leads, digging into the case, and gaining unprecedented access to a story that had gone cold.

Our investigation uncovered shocking new developments and secrets that have been buried for years.

Join me as we unravel the shocking truth on Denise didn't come home.
