MISSING: Alissa Turney Mar 13, 2021

Show notes

It was May 17, 2001, when Alissa stopped by her boyfriend John’s shop class to tell him she was leaving school early and that she’d see him later that night at a party. After that, Alissa’s trail goes cold and over the years her case got even colder. Thank is… until a new lead led investigators to a suspect close to home. Now with an ongoing trial and a family inches from justice, we’re still left wondering:
What happened to Alissa Turney?
