About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Junaliza Chappell as she was preparing to move to California.

In February of 2007, 27-year-old Junaliza Chappell was preparing to leave Georgia and begin a new life in California with her 3-year-old daughter, Ashley. Juna had accepted a new job, traveled to Florida for training, placed some of her belongings in storage, and arranged for Ashley to stay with trusted friends on the West Coast while she completed the final steps of her move. Juna planned to fly back to Atlanta, retrieve her car, and drive west. Juna never showed up for her new job on the day she was scheduled to begin, she never returned to pick up Ashley, and she's never been seen or heard from again. Juna’s husband, Timothy Chappell, claimed he picked her up at the Atlanta airport and took her to Walmart to pick up a prescription. According to Timothy, Juna went inside the store and never came back out. From the beginning, that story did not sit right with the people who knew her. In Part 1 of this series, we will begin with Juna’s life, what she was trying to leave behind, the plan she had made, and the first questions that emerged after Juna disappeared.
