Summary

Mother’s Day, 2002: Jennifer Harris spends the afternoon at her friend Kristy Farr’s house. Around 8:00 p.m., Jennifer says she has to go, seemingly heading to other plans. She leaves in her green soft-top Jeep, but she never makes it home that night. Her family reports her missing early the next morning.

That afternoon, Jennifer’s car is found abandoned on the side of the road near a local music spot. There are no signs of a struggle, and none of her belongings are inside. Six days into the search, a fisherman on the Red River calls 911 after spotting a woman’s naked body floating face down in the water. It is Jennifer. Her body is so badly decomposed that a medical examiner cannot determine the cause of death, classifying it only as a "violent homicide."

Investigators learn that Jennifer told her ex-husband she was pregnant and that he was the father, despite Rob Holman having a new girlfriend. In a shocking twist, the only evidence of Jennifer’s pregnancy is missing from her remains. Forensic experts cannot determine why her uterus is gone but believe fish and turtles likely destroyed it.

Jennifer Harris' murder remains unsolved
