About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of 15-year-old April Dawn Andrews from Pea Ridge, Arkansas, and the unsettling circumstances surrounding her case.

April Dawn Andrews left her home in Pea Ridge, Arkansas on the afternoon of November 18, 2006, planning to walk to a local church clothing drive just a short distance away. She never returned. Later, investigators discovered something unsettling: the church said there had been no clothing drive that day. April was 15 years old, but because of developmental disabilities, family members said she functioned years younger than her age. Painfully shy and often bullied, she was considered especially vulnerable. How does a teenage girl disappear while walking less than half a mile from home in broad daylight—and leave behind no evidence? Where is April Dawn Andrews?
