About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Vanessa Marcotte, a young woman who went for a run and never returned, shocking her community and leaving investigators searching for answers.

A 27-year-old woman who was home visiting her family… doing something so normal, so routine… that none of us would think twice about it. She went for a run. And she never came back. Vanessa was smart, driven, and deeply connected to the people in her life. She worked for Google in New York, had a strong circle of friends, and was just… living her life. But on that day in 2016, something happened along a quiet road in her hometown of Princeton, Massachusetts that would shock the community — and leave investigators searching for answers.
