Summary

In October of last year, there was no reason to assume Israel Keyes would be responsible for any disappearances in Wisconsin. But as new information about Keyes became available, we had to re-evaluate the disappearance of Kayla Berg, a fifteen-year old girl who disappeared under some murky circumstances, involving two young men with two very different stories.

This episode was written and researched by Michelle Tooker.
With production, editing, and additional research by Josh Hallmark.
