In January of 2002, a college student is home in Texas for winter break, just days away from returning to school. Like she does nearly every morning, the avid runner laces up her shoes, grabs her Walkman, and heads out on her familiar four-mile route through her family’s quiet subdivision. Neighbors see her along the way. Her movements are accounted for. One neighbor even places her less than a football field from her own driveway. And yet, she never makes it home. Her disappearance shatters the sense of safety in the community. In the years since, theories, suspects, and even a confession have emerged, but no trace of her has ever been found and no one has been held accountable.
