911, where's your emergency?

I have Charlene on the line.

She'd like to report her 25-year-old daughter as missing.

I've been calling and testing her all day.

I went over there at four o'clock, and her car was there.

She's still my home.

I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.

I'm Anna Siegen-Nikolasi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation

discoveries, true conviction.

And this is Anatomy of Murder.

Today we're talking about Stephanie Parz and the lengths that her parents went to to bring

their daughter justice.

And you're going to hear why this case is important for multiple reasons, but let's

start by pointing out something that may not be so obvious.

It's always hard talking to family members when you're talking about someone they've lost

to homicide, but here we're talking to her parents after they lost her only about

a year ago.

And that always makes it particularly hard.

And as a prosecutor, it was always one of the toughest things, but yet the thing that

gives you that drive to work those cases.

And with her family, it's going to be very clear how painful and fresh her loss really

is.
