She Vanished on the 4th of July—Who Took Dannarriah Finley?

Send us a text

In the early hours of July 4th, 2002, four-year-old Dannarriah Finley disappeared from her home in Orange, Texas. Days later, her body was discovered in a neighboring county, sparking one of Southeast Texas’s most heart-wrenching investigations.

For over two decades, the case has remained unsolved—despite national attention, renewed DNA testing, and continued pleas from her family and law enforcement. Investigators believe someone out there holds the missing piece that could finally bring justice.

Who was Dannarriah? What do we know about her final hours? And why has the truth remained just out of reach?

Join Arlene and Leah as they examine the victim, timeline, evidence, and suspects.
