Summary
Skip the banter: 00:09:27
When a 71-year-old father vanishes, the focus turns almost immediately to the person who reported him missing. This episode looks closely at how suspicion formed, how pressure was applied, and what happens when investigators become convinced too early. Allison brings the research and context that reveals the part of the story that was easiest to overlook.
