About this episode
The episode discusses the unsolved disappearance of Lori Bova, who went missing in 1997 after leaving her home for a walk.
On the evening of June 7, 1997, 26-year-old Lori Bova had dinner with her husband and sister at the Red Lobster in Lakewood, New York. Around 12 hours later, her husband reported her missing, claiming she left their apartment in the middle of the night to go for a walk and smoke a cigarette. She was never seen or heard from again. Nearly 30 years later, Lori’s disappearance remains unsolved, and her family is still searching for answers. Anyone with information regarding Lori’s disappearance is asked to call the Lakewood Police at (716) 763-9563.
