Darkcast Network, the light shines brightest on our indie podcasts.

Everything was going Kira Coles' way. She had a good paying job with the United States Postal Service.

She had just bought a car and she had gotten her own apartment that she was sharing with her boyfriend.

They had even decided to start a family.

In October of 2018, Kiera was three months pregnant and loving life.

But one day, Kira disappeared.

What followed was an investigation that offered up more questions than answers, including a last sighting that may not have been the last time she was seen at all.

Kira's family is still searching for her and her unborn child, and they are asking for her story to be told.

Oh, really?
