The Runaway Bride

About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of a bride just days before her wedding, raising questions about her motives and the investigation that follows.

Four days before a 600‑person Georgia wedding, a churchgoing bride laces up for a quick jog and disappears, leaving her keys and three‑carat ring behind like she’s been plucked out of her own love story. As search teams flood the town and the FBI closes in on her fiancé, a call from hundreds of miles away blows apart the kidnapping tale and leaves everyone wondering whether Jennifer Wilbanks was running for her life…or from it.
