Summary

On a quiet spring morning in 1986, a farmer in Lawton, Oklahoma, noticed a column of smoke rising from a desolate stretch of road. What he found would haunt the town for decades—a car, consumed by flames, welded into the guardrail of a deserted bridge. Inside was the body of 50-year-old Aileen Conway, a devoted wife and mother of seven. At first, authorities believed it was a tragic accident, but unsettling details soon cast doubt. Why was Aileen driving down that isolated road—a place she was never known to visit? Why was her home left in an eerily disrupted state, with the back door open, the iron still hot, and a full bathtub abandoned? And most chilling of all—was the fire an unfortunate result of the crash, or had someone ensured there would be nothing left to investigate? Join us as we unravel the strange and unsettling case of Aileen Conway—was it a terrible accident, or was someone trying to cover their tracks?
