Summary

In this episode, we continue our investigation into the heartbreaking case of Charles and Jennifer Chia, two young children who vanished in 1989. Retired Detectives Allan Fox and Ron Dreher help piece together the circumstances surrounding their disappearance, shedding light on key locations and witness accounts. As Shane retraces their last known steps, questions arise about how and when they went missing—did they board the school bus that day, or was something more sinister at play? Despite a busy neighborhood, no one reported anything unusual, leading investigators to believe the children may have known their abductor. Their mother, Ann, was still in Taiwan when they were reported missing, returning home to a nightmare no parent should endure. Join us as we explore the lingering mysteries of this unsolved case and the relentless pursuit of justice.
