Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Josh’s episode, “The Day Akia Disappeared.” In May 2017, 22-year-old Akia Eggleston vanished in Baltimore, Maryland. She was eight months pregnant with her second child. When she didn’t show up for her baby shower, Akia’s loved ones grew worried and reported her missing. A thorough investigation of Akia’s life revealed a complicated love triangle and a possible motive for murder. Josh and Keith discuss the evidence that led investigators to Akia’s killer and the battle her family faced to ensure the case got media coverage. Plus, they answer viewer and listener questions about the episode.
