Episode 55 - The Lost Journal

In 2008, 15-year-old Yasmin Acree disappeared from her bedroom outside of Chicago under majorly-suspicious circumstances.

Right off the bat, the family was unconvinced of the thoroughness of the investigation into her disappearance - and their worst fears were realized three years later when a significant piece of evidence was missed that told them a suspect was right under their noses the whole time.

If you know anything about the disappearence of Yasmin Acree, call the Chicago Police Depratment at 312-744-8266.

This week, we're drinking Urgency's Chardonnay.
