For our second episode we decided to trade-off on the story telling of cases. Megan examines a disappearance that took over timelines in the summer of 2021. Gabby Petito's case is something we covered extensively in our own newsroom. Why did Gabby's disappearance go global? Together, Megan and Mallory discuss the viral murder investigation while diving into TikTok theories. At the same time, Megan walks through the disappearance and murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, an indigenous woman from North Dakota whose case only seemed to gain traction after her lifeless body was found in the Red River.
