Summary

On June 23rd, 2023, a 39-year-old woman messages her mom asking if she can come to her home because she doesn’t feel safe where she is staying. Unfortunately, her mom is out of town but she tells her daughter she can come over when she is back on the 25th. However, the woman never shows up that day. Even more concerning, in the days that follow, no one could get in contact with her and her social media is completely silent. With no help from law enforcement, the woman’s mother takes matters into her own hands and investigates her disappearance. In episode 405, Jac and Alexis explore the disappearance of Amber Arnett, and just how far her mother Marty is willing to go to try to find out what happened to her daughter. 🎟 Catch up to FOUR bonus episodes per month plus full video episodes over on Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/thefirstdegree⁠ 📸 Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/thefirstdegree⁠ 🕺 TikTok: ⁠tiktok.com/@thefirstdegreee⁠ 👤 Facebook: ⁠facebook.com/thefirstdegree⁠ 📓 Substack: ⁠http://thefirstdegree.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
