In Oct 2012, Lisa Mitchell went missing after an argument with her common law husband, Allan Shyback. Allan claimed that Lisa had just up and left, however, police were not buying this, and they embarked on an elaborate undercover investigation. But nothing could prepare anyone for what they would find out. It turned out that Lisa had been much closer than anyone ever expected.
