Ep.1: Misty is Missing

ID
About this episode
Cold case investigator Sarah Cailean takes on the 1992 disappearance of 14-year-old Misty Copsey, who vanished after an afternoon at the Washington State Fair. The only evidence ever found was a pair of jeans, socks and underwear discovered months later along the side of a highway. Misty’s mother Diana spent her life searching for answers before passing away without resolution. Now, Sarah works with Misty’s brother Colton to uncover the truth. Can Sarah figure out who took Misty Copsey – and if it’s the same person who killed two girls whose remains were found near Misty’s clothing?
