    Episode 4: What the Hell Was Going on? The Suitcase Killer

    Let's go back to the early 2000's. Limewire destroyed your computer, you just figured out how to change your top friends on MySpace, The O.C. making everyone want side bangs, and Von Dutch trucker hats were all the rage. Underneath the lingering Abercrombie Fierce smell you just couldn't escape from, something unsettling was happening. In this episode, we trace the parallel stories of Summer Baldwin and Joanna Rogers. Two young women whose disappearances were separated by time, but forever connected by the same predator. We talk about how both cases collided, how the truth finally surfaced, and how justice finally caught up to the man who believed he could hide his crimes. This is a case that shook Lubbock, Texas. So set those AIM away messages, turn off The Simple Life, and ask yourself... What the Hell Was Going On?

In this episode, we break down the entire timeline of Maegan's last known moments, the people she crossed paths with that night, evidence investigators uncovered, and the haunting silence that followed.
