Join us as we delve into the chilling mystery surrounding the death of Chris Jenkins, a young college student who vanished without a trace in Minneapolis in 2002, only to be found dead in the Mississippi River four months later. But that's not where this story ends. We'll also explore the eerie connection to the 'Smiley Face Killer' theory, a controversial and haunting concept that links a series of unexplained deaths in waterways across the United States.
