In February 2010, almost 15 years ago this month, the McStay family of Forbrook, a suburb of San Diego, simply vanished.

What followed was a bizarre, high-profile investigation

involving those closest to the McStays,

with the spotlight of guilt shifting from person to person.

How and why did this completely ordinary family of four,

mum, dad and two babies just disappear. With accusations

of infidelity, embezzlement and abuse, their lives were scrutinized for years in the media

and by online sleuths. But it would be four years before the first arrest came, after an unbelievable and disturbing discovery was made in a

remote corner of the Mojavee Desert. I'm Surruti, I'm Hannah, and this is red-handed,

and this is the case of the McStay family murders. And I still don't like the new intro,

but I'm learning,'m trying, internally screaming.

So here we go.

The McStay family, have you or have you not, in your head already made the joke the McStays McLeft?

No.

You said that one's for free?

I have not made any jokes regarding this case whatsoever because it's one of those cases

that has driven me to the brink.

And I am so very glad that we're recording it today because I have consumed so much information

about this case.

I don't know anything else anymore.

This is all I know.

I have to get it out so that I can close this chapter of my life.
