On February 29, 1996, Curtisha Morning disappeared after walking back to her high school. Her mother, Viola, reported her missing around 1am. The case soon led the police to Curtisha's childhood friend Kalila Taylor. Curtisha had just started dating Kalila's ex-boyfriend. Kalila was eventually arrested, and convicted twice of killing her friend. Did she really do it?
