On a warm March night in Ocala, Florida, a quiet household settles into its familiar routine. A movie plays. The lights go out. Nothing feels out of place. By morning, that sense of normalcy is gone.
Join us, as we examine the disappearance and murder of Tim Smith, a man known for stability, kindness, and devotion to his family. What begins inside the safety of home slowly unravels into a haunting mystery. One shaped by unanswered questions, unsettling details, and a truth that would only emerge after everything had already changed.
