    Prince George’s County, Maryland—On the night of August 22, 2025, 19-year-old Dacara Thompson left her father's home to get gas for her car — and never came back.  Within hours, her family knew something was terribly wrong.  Her phone went silent. Calls went unanswered.  After Dacara didn’t return home, her family reported her missing the next day. Surveillance footage later showed her approaching and getting into an SUV in the early morning hours after she left home. Days later, the search for Dacara ended in tragedy.

This episode also explores what investigators uncovered about the suspect, and the evidence prosecutors say connects him to the crime.  Listen to Season 9: Episode 6: To find out how this tragic case unfolds.  Rest in Peace - Dacara Thompson and our condolences to her family, friends, and community. 🕊️🙏 Content Disclaimer: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
