About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance and unsolved murder of Frauke Liebs, who made a series of phone calls to her loved ones before her remains were found.

Frauke Liebs: The Woman Who Kept Calling Home On June 20, 2006, 21-year-old nursing student Frauke Liebs left an Irish pub in Paderborn, Germany, after watching an England World Cup match with friends. She was expected home in just fifteen minutes. She never arrived. Then something unimaginable happened. Over the next week, Frauke made a series of brief phone calls to her roommate, her family, and the people searching for her. She insisted she would be home soon, but she never revealed where she was or who was with her. Each call gave her loved ones hope that she was still alive... while leaving investigators with more questions than answers. Months later, Frauke's remains were discovered in a wooded area outside Paderborn. Nearly twenty years later, her murder remains unsolved. If you have any information regarding the murder of Frauke Liebs, please contact the German police.
