Hi crime junkies, I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt and the story I have for you today is about a young woman who on the verge of finding herself ends up tragically lost instead.

This is the story of Adrienne Salinas.

Rick Salinas is panicking. It's Father's Day and he hasn't been able to reach his daughter Adrienne.

Not just today, but yesterday either. And even though Adrienne is 19 and living out on her own with some friends, there's no way she wouldn't at least call him back, especially now that it's Father's Day.

I mean the two of them are super close since he raised her and her little brother on his own.

All the calls he keeps making to Adrienne's phone are going straight to voicemail. So he gives one of her roommates Shania call.

And as soon as she answers, the question practically spills from his mouth is Adrienne there.

But instead of the answer he's hoping for, his heart plummets. Not only is Adrienne not there now, but she also hasn't been there since Friday night.

Well technically Saturday morning, but like middle of the night kind of Saturday morning.

Like she just left the house in the middle of the night?

Yes, but not alone.

According to an episode of People Magazine Investigates called Darkness in the Desert, Shania tells Rick that Adrienne probably is where she always is when she leaves for a day or two, at her boyfriend, Frans.

She even saw them leaving together from their apartment during this party that they were throwing.

So for a minute, Rick feels this wave of relief. I mean he knows Fran and Frans a good kid. He's been in Adrienne's life for all their lives released since the two were in ape grade.

So what Shania says is reassuring enough for Rick to take a breath and just wonder if maybe he's overreacting.

He hangs up with Shania and then obviously calls Fran just to make sure that his daughter really is there and she really is alright.

But when he makes that call, that little reserve of hope that he's clinging on to just drains out of his body because Adrienne isn't with Fran either.

In fact, he doesn't know where she is and he too has been trying to reach her.

But Shania said they've left together.

Well they did and Fran confirms that. He said that he and Adrienne did leave together somewhere around 240 in the morning because apparently I guess they got into an argument at the party.

Adrienne was jealous about Fran talking to other girls and it was way too chaotic at Adrienne's place to talk anything out like the party had actually gotten pretty wild.

So they left and went to Fran's place to talk.
