Summary

In 2015, a 19-year-old visited her family home in Virginia for a few days before heading back to Arizona to start school. But after she was taken to the Virginia airport to go home, she sent a string of strange and uncharacteristic text messages to her loved ones and never boarded the plane. Between false alibis, suspicious phone records, and haunting evidence, this case proves to be incredibly bizarre and downright dumbfounding. This is the story of Katelin Akens. *BONUS EPISODES* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast *CASE SOURCES* https://fredericksburg.com/news/crime_courts/look-back-katelin-akens-disappeared-four-years-ago-today/article_f8797676-1793-11ea-852d-0b37c01d3369.html https://charleyproject.org/case/katelin-michelle-akens https://medium.com/the-mystery-box/puzzling-text-messages-what-happened-to-katelin-akens-d89ebbb2036f https://truecrimediva.com/katelin-akens/ https://truecrimecrystals.tumblr.com/post/167875870935/19-year-old-katelin-akens-has-been-missing-from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/one-woman-dead-another-missing-under-mysterious-circumstances_n_566729fbe4b08e945ff13545 https://www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-womans-disappearance-continues-to-puzzle-police-two-years-later https://truecrimedaily.com/2017/02/01/confession-or-cry-for-help-missing-teens-texts-conflict-with-locations/ https://crimeola.com/katelin-akens-wiki-missing/ ( https://crimeola.com/katelin-akens-wiki-missing/ ) http://darkmatter69.blogspot.com/2019/11/katelin-akens-virginian-gone-girl.html https://www.whitepages.com/name/James-D-Branton/Partlow-VA/Po8MmA6K18W https://fredericksburg.com/spotsylvania-jury-convicts-man-of-killing-heather-ciccone/article_cb89a8f4-2200-5f0d-80fd-0bfbcdd9d8f7.html https://heraldcourier.com/news/woman-charged-with-being-accessory-in-slaying-of-heather-ciccone/article_84e25cf2-e025-11e7-9d03-b76de14f1177.html Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
