In this episode we travel to Melbourne, Australia where, in March of 1999, 15 year old Rachel Barber disappeared after attending dance school. Despite the police trying to convince her family that Rachel was simply a runaway, the Barber's, their family and friends, along with the community wouldn't give up hope of finding their daughter. After two weeks of searching, Rachel would be discovered murdered, but the suspect in this case was the last person anyone would've expected.
***I just wanted to let everyone know that despite me saying at the beginning of this episode that I wasn't sick, I was in fact struggling with a terrible head cold, so I'm sorry in advance that it sounds like I can't breathe for most of this! Thank you for your understanding!!!! E.***
