A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL VANISHES WITHOUT A TRACE, AND HER FAMILY — DESPERATE BUT DETERMINED — TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, SEARCHING TO FIND HER

On a hot summer night, 16-year-old Susana Morales was visiting her friend’s house when she seemingly disappeared. A tracking app on Susana’s phone showed her walking home, then suddenly going the opposite direction in a car. Minutes later, her phone registered a crash alert, yet there were no signs of an accident and no signs of Susana at the location. After reporting her missing, Susana’s family took matters into their own hands, retracing her steps and uncovering surveillance video just minutes before she vanished. In a heart-pounding investigation, explosive video tracks detectives — in real time — as they hunt for clues in Susana’s disappearance.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE, A MURDER AND A TWO-DECADE QUEST FOR JUSTICE EXPOSES THE DOUBLE LIFE OF A MAN HIDING A DEADLY SECRET

What started as a suspicious house fire in a quiet Cincinnati suburb soon led to something far more sinister. When firefighters arrived at the scene, investigators quickly determined the blaze had been intentionally set, and security footage showed two people appearing to orchestrate the fire. Homeowner Paul Hicks accused his ex-girlfriend of being behind it, but as authorities dug deeper, her alibi held … as did his. The case took a startling turn when evidence, including a custom mask made to resemble his ex and a matching wig, led investigators to question the homeowner himself. Hicks denied that he had any involvement in the arson or the purchase of these items and eventually pleaded to a single misdemeanor count of insurance fraud, receiving a sentence of probation. He was not convicted in connection with setting the fire at his home. Around the same time, investigators were looking at Hicks in the unsolved death of his ex-wife, Regina. In October 2001, she seemingly vanished and
