*This week, in lieu of a regular episode, we're bringing you a bonus case from the Patreon vault. Originally released in 2022 as a Patreon bonus, we're now unlocking it for all listeners. *
It took years for authorities to uncover the horror that had taken place at the home of Mitchelle Blair and her four children. When she was evicted from her apartment, the single mother was found nearby at a neighbour's home with only two of her children. Where were Stephen and Stoni? How had years gone by and no one reported Stephen or Stoni missing? These children fell through the cracks and suffered an unimaginable fate.
Join us as we discuss this heartbreaking case.
