You're listening to a tenderfoot TV podcast.

There has been a massive investigation underway in this tiny, tiny town.

You never think, you know, it's going to be in your small town.

It's going to be someone you know on a missing poster.

When Molly Tibbitts went missing, the whole country watched. But few understood how quickly her story would be hijacked.

There were death threats, people threatening to burn down our buildings.

But Molly's story, it's just the beginning,

because this season we're digging into six cases,

There's word tonight of a prison riot at a maximum security prison in Southern Ohio.
