About this episode

On February 4, 2010 the McStay family disappeared without a trace from their home in Fallbrook, California. Over the years, the case made international headlines and everyone seemed to have a theory about what happened to the family of four: Did they walk over the border to Mexico to start new lives? Were they kidnapped? Did they meet with foul play? After their bodies were found in the desert near Victorville, California, investigators began to look for a killer much closer to home.
