S6 E6 - Are you listening? - Missing: Samantha Tapp

CW/TW - discussion of drugs and mental health

Samantha Tapp, a 16 year old girl who grew up in the system with her sister, Kendale, went missing from her home in Burleson, TX back in 2004 and has since been classified as an endangered runaway. Many believe that those who go missing for long periods of time have in fact succumbed to murder; however for Kendale and Sam’s best friend Vanessa, they believe otherwise. You can’t disregard your gut instinct, because it very rarely, if ever, fails you. Kendale and Vanessa, who will be interviewed for this episode, believes in their gut. To honor the wishes of the two young ladies we will interview, we will not presume that Sam has left the earth realm. We instead will attempt to get answers and possibly reach Sam herself.
