    Introducing: The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister

    Introducing: The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister

    In Season 1, The Girlfriends told the story of how a group of incredible women came together to bring down one bad ex-boyfriend and seek justice for the murder of Gail Katz.

    But there’s one part of that story that’s still a mystery.

    During the investigation into Gail’s case, a torso washed up on Staten Island and was misidentified as Gail. Nobody knows her name or what happened to her after she was ruled out from the case.

    In Season 2, the amateur ladies detective club are back with a new mission: to uncover the identity of this woman and finally find Our Lost Sister.

    Listen here and subscribe to The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!
