Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers.

And I'm Britt.

And the story I have for you today has so many wild twists and turns.

It's really more like 10 stories and one.

But even though it's a complicated and difficult story to tell,

we still wanted to do it because this woman's story has never really been

told in depth before.

And I've talked about this before, but this is the main reason we hired an

investigative reporter in the first place.

So we can cover those hard stories involving victims who don't get a ton of attention.

And the woman I'm going to tell you about today might be one of the most vulnerable victims

we've ever talked about on this show.

And we probably never would have heard about her disappearance if it didn't coincide

with an infamous serial killer's reign of terror in Pekipsi, New York.

And while many still think she could be one of his victims,

the people who knew her and the police who worked the case, they're not so sure about that.

Now, this case is local for our reporter, Nina.

While she used to work at the newspaper in the area and her husband actually works

for the agency investigating this case, neither of them ever worked on this investigation.

And once I heard about this story, I couldn't get it out of my head.

And I guarantee you won't be able to either.

This is the story of Michelle Eason.
