Summary

RE-RELEASE: In this two-part series, we cover the disappearance of 39-year-old Brian Wehrle, who drove through the great Atlanta Flood of 2009 to be in his hometown of Carrollton, GA for a court date—one he never made. In the second episode, we dig into the investigation--including the discovery of Brian's car in Tennessee, a search of his parents' property, and discoveries made by a famous K-9 search and recovery team's dogs.
