53: The Disappearance of Jamie Fraley

I Think Not!
About this episode
JUST WHEN YOU THINK THIS ONE IS OVER....S**T GOES BANANAS. Jamie Fraley vanished from her North Carolina apartment with no signs of foul play. Then detectives learn that her boyfriend's father had developed an obsession with Jamie while his son was in prison. AND THEN....AND THEN....(in my best Christopher voice) "a grim discovery changes the course of the investigation."
