About this episode

This episode covers the investigation and trial surrounding the disappearance of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar.

Skip the banter: 00:06:14 When 15-year-old Sierra LaMar disappeared on her way to school in Morgan Hill, California, investigators were left piecing together a case from scattered evidence and an unusually short timeline. This episode follows the investigation, the trial, and the later court decision that reopened difficult questions years after the conviction. Allison tells the story carefully, including the details that still leave Sierra’s family without closure.  Support us and become a Patron!
