Summary

On August 19, 2020, a 24 year old woman goes for her daily run in rural Jackson County, Arkansas. When she doesn’t return home, her boyfriend alerts the police and a massive search begins. Two days later, a man takes his 28 year old stepson to the police station, believing he has information on the woman’s disappearance. After finding blood on the 28 year old man’s truck, police search his phone’s GPS history and find he was in the area when the woman disappeared. Police go to the GPS coordinates, and mere yards away, find the woman’s body buried in a field. The killer says it was an accident that got out of hand, but police say otherwise. What is the truth? In episode 189, Jac, Alexis, and Billy detail the murder of Sydney Suthlerand at the hands of an old classmate, Quake Lewellyn.
