When someone goes missing, the headlines focus on what happened.

But the truth often lives in the smallest details.

I'm Sarah Turney.

After my sister disappeared, I learned how those final hours, the last conversations, the last decisions can haunt families forever.

And I'm Courtney Nicole. After seeing crime impact my own family,

I've learned how overlooked moments,

missed red flags, and unanswered questions

can change everything.

Together, we're bringing those lived experiences into the work.

This is the final hours,

a crime house original powered by Pave Studios,

a podcast that puts the moments before a disappearance under a microscope.

Listen to and follow the final hours wherever you get your podcasts, new episodes every Monday.

Thank you. In December 1992, a story hit the headlines that the US public could scarcely believe.

A nine-year-old girl celebrating her birthday at a neon-lit kids fun park

vanished into thin air. Panic swept through the state at the prospect of a child snatcher

on the loose on Long Island. But soon it would become clear just how truly deep and dark this story really was. Because that little girl, Katie

Beers, would be found alive. Somehow, having survived, being chained up in a secret underground dungeon

and locked in a coffin, enduring daily rapes at the hands of her abductor, a man she knew.

I'm Saruti. I'm Hannah. And this is red-handed. And this is the incredible story of Katie Beers,

the girl in the wall. One of genuinely the most shocking survival stories that we've come across.

It's nice when they survive sometimes, isn't it? I know. I was like, a little present for ourselves.
