Summary

2001 - League City, Texas. In 2001, 57-year-old Tot Harriman vanished into thin air while on the road in Texas between Houston and Corpus Christi. Her son, Chien Si fought tooth and nail to keep his mom’s case in spotlight— to make people care… but without clues pointing to an answer, the attention on Tot’s case tapered off, and the trail eventually went cold. 21 years later, the answer to what actually happened to Tot remains just as murky. But Tot had an incredible life, and a bright legacy that still shines today through her family, the communities she helped build… and it’s a story that deserves to be heard. To understand where Tot was in life at the moment she vanished, you have to understand her journey to get there. This is a story of survival, love, and the strength of the human spirit. This is part one of Tot Tran Harriman’s story. Detailed sources can be found on murdershetold.com Connect on Instagram @murdershetoldpodcast Support the show here Learn more about your ad choices.
