Summary

23-year old Kaylee Sawyer mysteriously disappeared late one Saturday evening in Bend, Oregon in 2016 after attending a bachelorette party with friends.

What he claimed was all a tragic accident - quickly proves one of Oregon’s most gruesome murders. One that would change the legislative landscape of the state... forever.     Visit Invisible Choir on the web:  Patreon - Invisible Choir Premium:  https://www.patreon.com/InvisibleChoir  Website:  https://www.invisiblechoir.com/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/InvisibleChoirPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invisiblechoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InvisibleChoir   Written/Audio Sources:  Edwin Lara Interrogation Isabel Ponce-Lara turns her husband in for killing Kaylee Sawyer Edwin Lara confesses to the murder of Kaylee Sawyer Edwin Lara's Facebook live during crime spree 911 call made after Edwin Lara shot a man at a California motel Edwin Lara in court Edwin Lara admits killing Kaylee Sawyer Urge to Kill Episode 4: The Chase KAYLEE REMEMBER Teen returns home after kidnapping by Bend murder suspect Kaylee Sawyer's boyfriend calls 911 to report her missing Bend DA summarizes Kaylee Sawyer murder case Stepmother explains need for 'Kaylee's Law' HER MURDER LED TO A CHANGE IN STATE LAW.
