Louis Le Prince invented the single lens video camera and recorded the first film, but if you've heard of him, it's probably because of his disappearance.

In this episode, Alexis teaches Hailey about how cool of a guy he was, goes over the theories on his disappearance, and uncovers a sketchy source with a possible answer!

Sorry about the sound quality, especially for Alexis. We tried a new mic set up right before she went on vacation, and so these eps are backlogged and the next few episodes will be a little weird sounding. Thanks for being patient!
