Summary

Twenty-one year old Alex VanDalsen left his home in Lafayette, Indiana on the evening of February 3rd, 2021 to start the first shift at a new job. However, when he forgot the necessary paperwork at home, he wasn’t able to do so. Only about an hour after returning home, around 11:44pm, Alex left home again— this time on foot. Six days later, law enforcement showed up at Jen VanDalsen’s door to let her know that they had located the body of her son. But, after being given misinformation, after potential leads not being followed, after specific testing not being done, Alex’s mother Jen wants answers. And, after you hear about the case, you will as well.
