Summary

Sarah meets Misty's brother Colton for an intense conversation about how his sister’s disappearance in 1992 shaped the rest of his mother Diana's life and his own childhood. As Sarah examines the original police investigation, she learns of shocking failures and missed opportunities. When Sarah digs deeper into the statements of Trina, Misty's best friend who went to the fair with her, she discovers troubling inconsistencies in Trina’s story, which raise Sarah’s suspicions around a new suspect. Then Sarah receives a surprising email: a key witness finally agrees to talk after decades of silence.
