Summary
Skip the banter: 00:05:50 (depends on ads in beginning)
It started with a young woman left for dead on the side of a road in Oklahoma, her blue high heel abandoned in the street. But the investigation into her so-called hit-and-run revealed a far more disturbing truth—this woman wasn't who anyone thought she was. What followed was a years-long unraveling of stolen identities, a child kidnapped from school at gunpoint, and a predator who used aliases the way most people use passwords. The woman known as Tonya Hughes had been kidnapped as a child and held captive for fifteen years by the man who later claimed to be her husband. Allison tells us the rest of this story, one with a dark twist buried somewhere near the Texas border.Support us and become a Patron! Over 150 bonus episodes:

| 0:17.7 | you every Sunday with a free episode, a new true crime or at least a really crazy story, I would say. And I tell the story, Mike listens. We've been married for 23 years. And I've never heard the story before. You have never heard the story. And after he hears it within about an hour, the memory of the episode is wiped from his mind. Poof, gone. Just like anything else. |
| 0:38.5 | Like if I, |
| 0:39.1 | there was a crime con conference recently and there was, you know, a bunch of people that were in true crime and going there and meeting each other. And if people came up to us, but they're like, oh, this was like, you know, a really interesting story. You guys told, I'd be like, I have no idea what you're talking about. |
| 0:51.9 | Let me get Alison involved here so she can tell you what, |
| 0:54.2 | you know, |
| 0:54.5 | something about it. |
| 0:55.3 | I don't know. |
| 0:55.9 | Yeah, |
| 0:56.2 | I'll say to Mike days after the episode. |
| 0:58.1 | Oh, guys told, I'd be like, I have no idea what you're talking about. Let me get Allison involved here so she can tell you what, you know, something about it. I don't know. Yeah, I'll say to Mike days after the |
| 0:57.6 | episode, oh, and the story of blah, blah, blah. He's like, no. I'm like the one that we did like two days ago. He's like, no, refresh my memory. It's a matter of safety. I just don't like to keep those things in my brain. Yes, you like positive stories. I'll tell you what you like. I was getting the studio |
| 1:12.3 | set up over here and I came over to tell Alice and everything was ready to go. And I see her scrolling on her little phone looking at shoes. I knew you were looking over my shoulder. How do you know? Because I was sitting on our patio and I know that there is a glass door behind me. And I know the son of a bee was lurking over my shoulder looking out. Yeah. And it's what he does. You were just happy sitting amongst our two cats and just enjoying yourself looking for new shoes to purchase. Well, I'm going on a girls trip and I'm thinking about what we're going to wear out to dinner. And I am not at all a dressy person. Not at all. Like my girlfriend's on our |
| 1:45.0 | girl's trip will be wearing these like slinky dresses. Never in my wildest dreams as cute and |
| 1:50.3 | adorable and beautiful as they look. I would never. I'd say your style is more frumpy. |

| 2:18.8 | No, it's not that I don't care. It's, I'm not a dressy person. I'm going to look put together in the outfits that I'm drawn to, which is jeans, some boots, and a cute top. Oh, yeah.
