Summary
When Kenia Monge vanished after a night out in Denver, her family was left with more questions than answers. What began as a frantic search for a missing 19-year-old soon unraveled into a twisted tale involving a “white creepy van,” a suspect with a penchant for bleach, and a devastating confession. In this episode, we follow the timeline of Kenia’s disappearance, the relentless determination of her stepfather, and the dark path of Travis Forbes, a predator whose actions changed countless lives. Along the way, we’ll uncover how justice caught up to a man who thought he could outrun it.
