A Shot in the Dark

On a spring morning in 2017, a mother of three in Evansville, Indiana logged onto Facebook and noticed a story in her news feed that made her heart start to race. Just a couple of hours earlier, the body of a young woman was found in a field one town over – and police had no clue who the young woman was. The physical description was vague, but it matched all three of the woman’s daughters. So right away, she picked up her phone and began trying to reach them, to make sure each of them was okay. Her two youngest girls replied within minutes, but the oldest one of them did not. And with every minute that passed without a word from her oldest daughter, the woman became more and more frantic until she reached out to a friend of hers on the police force. And what she soon would learn, before the morning became afternoon, would change her family’s life forever... and change the course of two separate police investigations. 🎧 Follow and listen to ALL of our podcasts from Ballen Studios - find them on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts! 🔊 A Twist of History 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/atwistofhistory - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark and Mysterious Stories 👉 https://Wondery.fm/MBP - New episodes every Monday 🔊 MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries 👉 https://wondery.com/links/mrballens-medical-mysteries/?ol=am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Redacted: Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana 👉 https://wondery.com/links/redacted/?ol=wnd~spot~ap~am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Wartime Stories Podcast 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/Fz9J66 - New episodes every Monday 🔊 Bedtime Stories 👉 http://apple.co/ballenbedtimestories - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 RUN, FOOL! 👉 https://smarturl.it/RunFool 🔊 Late Nights with Nexpo 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/latenightswithnexpo For 100s more stories like this one, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media pla
