The Haunting That Led to a Murder Confes...

Breanna Heim
About this episode

In 1982, 13-year-old Carrie Ann Jopek vanished on what should have been a three-minute walk home from school. For years, her disappearance haunted a Milwaukee neighborhood—until a horrifying discovery was made just across the street. But even that wasn’t the end of Carrie’s story. Decades passed. No arrests. No justice. Then, out of nowhere, a man made a chilling confession… claiming her spirit had followed him for over 30 years.

Was it guilt? Was it madness? Or did Carrie truly refuse to rest until her truth was known?
