About this episode

The episode discusses the disappearance and murder of Morgan Bauer, including updates on her case nearly six years later.

This episode first aired on November 2, 2017. In February 2016, 19-year-old Morgan Bauer left Aberdeen, South Dakota, with plans to begin a new life in Atlanta. She’d arranged to stay with people she met on Craigslist, but within weeks of arriving, Morgan stopped contacting her friends and family and vanished without a trace. Her case was soon overshadowed by damaging internet rumors that called her disappearance into question and diverted attention from the people last known to have been with her. Nearly six years after our original episode aired, investigators recovered Morgan’s remains in Porterdale, Georgia, and arrested the same couple discussed in our 2017 coverage. One has since pleaded guilty to her murder, while the other remains accused. Stay with us after the replay for an update on the major developments that finally revealed what happened to Morgan.
