In Spring 2002, 39 year old Dana Pastori put in her two week notice at her job and told her coworkers that she was packing up to leave New Orleans. But the next day, Dana suddenly just... stopped showing up to work. When coworkers became concerned about her sudden disappearance, Dana's boyfriend informed them that Dana had been involved in an accident and would be in the hospital for the foreseeable future. But then, his story took several twists and turns, until Dana's family and friends had all been told different accounts about what became of the free-spirited mother of two. Years later, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August 2005 and uncovered the truth of Dana's fate.
