Inspired by Jack Kerouac, Leah set off from North Carolina on a soul-searching road trip, leaving behind a trail of personal tragedy: the sudden death of both parents and a near-fatal car crash. She carried $3,000 in cash and no clear destination—just a sense that something was waiting for her out west.
Days later, her Jeep was found wrecked at the bottom of a remote embankment near Bellingham, Washington. Inside: her clothes, blankets, an engagement ring tucked under the floor mat. Outside: no Leah. No blood. No footprints. No sign of struggle.
But then came the troubling clues—tampered wires, male DNA, an unidentifiable fingerprint. Accident? Escape? Or something darker hidden in the shadows of the Cascades?
Listen as we dive into Washington, the case of Leah Roberts, and how to stay alive on vacation.
