Five years ago, my book about the disappearance of Maura Murray, True Crime Addict, was published. The book inspired a documentary for Oxygen, which the Murrays agreed to participate in on the condition that the producers try to “debunk” some of the theories brought out in the book, essentially making me a villain in the…
Last week, someone climbed the steps of my family’s rental house in the Outer Banks and left a threatening message addressed to me, as well as a brick and the bottom of a camera rig about ten feet from where my daughter was sleeping. The only person I could think of who would do this…

I catch up with Lance & Tim in this week’s episode of Missing. We talk a lot about Maura Murray and the new twists in the case as well as some recent sightings. Check it out!
