Summary
Nancy Grace investigates the heartbreaking disappearance of two-year-old Arianna Fitts and the brutal murder of her 32-year-old mother, Nicole. After working grueling shifts at Best Buy to provide a stable life for her daughter, Nicole vanished directly after planning to confront her pushy babysitters and reclaim Arianna permanently. Days later, Nicole’s body was discovered hidden in a San Francisco park, but little Arianna remains missing. Nancy and Nicole's sister, Contessa, expose the major red flags surrounding the primary persons of interest, suspicious text messages sent from the victim's phone, and the FBI's ongoing nationwide search.
There is a $250,000 reward to finally bring Arianna home and deliver justice for Nicole. Anyone with information is asked to call San Francisco PD at (415) 575-4444.
