In April 2023, Candrick Begay, 31, and his co-worker, Anthony McCants, 26, were working at the Highway 64 Auto Salvage in San Juan County, NM, when they were sent out to pull parts for a truck. They never returned. Both men were found murdered—and nearly two years later, their killer still hasn’t been caught. With no surveillance footage and few leads, their families remain trapped in grief and unanswered questions. In this episode, we examine the rural silence surrounding this case, the investigative challenges, and the heartbreaking reality of what it means to seek justice when justice never comes.
