About this episode

A young girl, a trusted neighbor, and a lie so bizarre it sounds like science fiction. In this week's episode of Hot On The Case, we dive into the disturbing true story of Jan Broberg, the girl whose abductor convinced her they were chosen by aliens to fulfill a twisted mission. What followed was a shocking tale of manipulation, brainwashing, and betrayal.


We’re breaking down how one man’s obsession led to multiple abductions, how an entire family was manipulated, and how Jan ultimately found her voice.
