In this episode, we delve into the baffling disappearance of David Glenn Lewis in 1993—a case that remains shrouded in mystery three decades later. David, a respected lawyer, vanished from his Texas home under puzzling circumstances, leaving behind an uneaten turkey sandwich, a still-recording VCR, and plane tickets he never used. Two days later, his body was discovered 1,600 miles away in Washington State, killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident.

What events could have led him so far from home, and why? Was foul play involved, or did David's life take an inexplicable turn? Join us as we unravel the timeline, explore the theories, and ponder the unanswered questions that make this one of the strangest cold cases in modern history.
