About this episode

This episode discusses the tragic abduction and murder of 15-year-old Laralee Spear, which remains unsolved over three decades later.

On April 25, 1994, 15-year-old Laralee Spear was abducted and brutally murdered just one month shy of her 16th birthday. She was reported missing by her mother when she failed to arrive home after school at the expected time. After checking with neighbors, Laralee’s mother learned that she had last been seen getting off her school bus, which was only a ten-minute walk from the family’s home. A quick search ensued, but it ended tragically. More than three decades later, Laralee’s murder remains unsolved, with no known persons of interest.
