Hey, everyone. Nate here here today to tell you about another new true crime podcast series from USA Today in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called Unsolved.

This is actually the fourth season of Unsolved. If you haven't heard seasons one through three, highly recommend.

But season four will delve into the story of Alexis Patterson, a seven year old girl who disappeared on her way to school in 2002.

The story of her disappearance quickly made national headlines was a lot about the disappearance of the little girl, sympathy for her family.

But that story quickly turned dark with her family becoming prime suspects in the case.

Over the years, there have been conspiracy theories, false leads, cases of mistaken identity. Still, her mom has never given up hope that Alexis will come home again someday.

In season four of Unsolved, the team gets to work to the bottom of what really happened to Alexis.

What efforts were made to find her and why so many missing black kids in America are never found.

Here now you can listen to the trailer for Unsolved season four. Enjoy.

Show a picture of seven year old Alexis Patterson to anyone in Milwaukee odds are they'll recognize it even after more than 20 years.

In a poster, once plastered all over the city, Alexis has her hair and pigtails and she's squinting a little from smiling so big.

When you look at that picture, when you see that picture of her, you just see someone that could be like your kid.

That's James Cautie, a local reporter who covered the case.

But this is the case that rocked the city. It rocked the city like never before.

For Alexis's mother, Ayanna Patterson, the first indication that something was wrong came shortly before 3pm on May 3rd, 2002.

So normally Alexis make it home from school between 252 and 255 every day.

So when 255 came, she took like 258 up and there. She didn't make it home.

I'm looking out the window because I normally see my baby walk. I watch my baby come home every day.

Alexis was in first grade and the family lived less than a block from the school.

So I ran across the street to the school and when I went to the school and I asked Miss Roulin was Alexis, where's Alexis?

And she said she talked around and she looked at me. I'll never forget her face.

She said Alexis haven't made it to school. Alexis didn't come to school today.
