Skip the banter: 00:09:40
On a cold January night in Pittsburgh, 2017, 23-year-old Dakota James—smart, sarcastic, and openly gay—heads out for drinks with friends. He’s last spotted on a blurry surveillance clip, walking down an alley near the Allegheny River, phone in hand. Then, he disappears. Forty days later, his body surfaces ten miles downstream, ruled an accidental drowning. But his parents, Pam and Jeff, refuse to accept it. Was it a fatal slip into icy waters, or something sinister—like the Smiley Face Killers, a haunting theory of serial murders targeting young men? Tune in as we explore Dakota’s story: a life cut short, a family’s fight for truth, and a mystery balancing on the edge of accident or evil.
