    AFTER DARK: Playing Hooky

    Port Clinton, Ohio. December 2019. A 14-year-old boy leaves home on a Friday morning and walks to school like he always did. Except this day, Harley Dilly never makes it there. For weeks, the town searches. Streets, water, woods — every place a kid could disappear into. Until the answer turns up in the last place anyone could ever imagine. 🖤🧱🖤 Source Material: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/continuing-coverage/harley-dilly/a-complete-timeline-of-every-day-and-event-since-harley-dillys-disappearance https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/continuing-coverage/harley-dilly/police-report-reveals-new-details-on-the-days-before-after-harley-dillys-disappearance https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/continuing-coverage/harley-dilly/harley-dilly-most-likely-died-the-day-he-went-missing-coroner-says https://abcnews.go.com/US/missing-ohio-teenager-harley-dilly-recovered-officials/story?id=68268831 https://www.13abc.com/content/news/BCI-have-a-unit-in-Port-Clinton-as-Harley-Dilly-search-continues-566957391.html https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Media/Newsletters/Criminal-Justice-Update/Summer-Fall-2020/The-Harley-Dilly-search-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/01/21/port-clinton-police-report-sheds-new-light-moments-leading-up-harley-dillys-disappearance/ https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/03/06/photos-inside-investigation-harley-dilly-ohio-teen-who-died-chimney/ Music Credit: 1.

    69. Broken Arrow

    Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. 2015. A family inside a quiet suburban home — a mother. a father. and their seven kids. And then, in the middle of the night…something breaks. A 911 call.  And a crime scene so brutal it forces the question nobody wants to ask out loud: How does a family implode from the inside?

    They thought it was just a drive. One friend in the backseat. One boyfriend riding shotgun. And a teenage girl behind the wheel. But what happened next wasn’t an accident. It was a decision.

    April 1968. Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to stand with striking sanitation workers — exhausted, under surveillance, and living with constant threats. Then, outside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel, a single gunshot silences one of America’s most important voices. What follows is chaos: a manhunt, a case full of contradictions, and questions that never stopped.

    After Dark: Vanishing Point

    In August 2016, a family of five left their redcurrant farm in Silvan, Victoria — driving north with a wad of cash, while their phones and bank cards stayed behind. Over the next few days, they fractured across New South Wales and Victoria, turning up one by one — distressed, disoriented, and convinced they were being followed. No kidnappers. No robbery. No clear “why.” Just a family that seemed to collectively slip out of reality…in broad daylight.
