Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Franchesca Alvarado. As time went on and more of her remains surfaced, it was clear that she was never coming home. What was not clear was what happened to Franchesca and who might have been involved. Suspicion fell on a man with whom she went to Atlantic City. Why did he return home, but Franchesca did not?
