About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of Karen Beard, who vanished in 1991 during a custody battle.
On a cold January evening in 1991, 35-year-old Karen Beard followed what was supposed to be a simple plan—dropping off her two young children with family. At seven and a half months pregnant, Karen was involved in a heated custody battle with her ex-husband. According to all accounts, Karen had been fighting hard to regain custody of her children. Yet, within hours of last being seen in Kingston, Tennessee, she disappeared without a trace. More than thirty years later, no arrests have been made. Join us as we explore the timeline, theories, and unresolved details of this case.
