Summary

In September of 2003, a 17-year-old girl vanished from her family’s home in Placer County, California. Her truck was missing from the driveway, but her purse and belongings were still inside the house - as if she had simply stepped out and disappeared into the night. As days turned to weeks, suspicion began to circle closer inwards, and when the truth emerged, it would shock and devastate everyone who knew her. Especially when they learned that she had been buried alive… This is the murder of Justine Vanderschoot.
