About this episode

Oakley Carlson was only four years old when she went missing in 2021. Investigators launched a desperate search to bring her home, but with each new piece of evidence, they learned that home may not have been the safest place for her. And the systems put in place to protect her may have been the very thing that put her in the hands of the people responsible for her disappearance.
