The Fall Line®
About this episode

In Nashville, Tennessee, there's a family—the Walkers—who have faced the terror of a loved one's disappearance not once, but twice. In 1999, 23-year-old Laresha "Deana" Walker vanished after dropping off her two-year-old son. Nearly two decades later, her mother Wanda Faye Walker went missing, too.

This season covers missing persons and unsolved homicides across the American Southeast. 

 If you have information regarding Deana's disappearance, please contact Detective Matthew Filter at  615-862-7803. You can also call Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME (615-742-7463). Callers remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
