Summary

In the afternoon hours of March 3rd, 1999 a beloved 30-year-old teacher named Krystal Whitley vanished after an ordinary school day. Krystal’s car was soon discovered in the parking lot of a nearby shopping center with obvious no signs of foul play. The initial investigations fall short, with law enforcement speculating publicly that Kystal was voluntarily missing. But the tone of the cases changes after a shocking discovery is made in the woods. In episode 312, Jac and Alexis profile the heartbreaking disappearance of Krystal Whitley.
