The Fall Line® focuses on cold cases that need attention. We cover missing persons cases, unsolved homicides, and unidentified remains (John and Jane Does) with thorough research and deep respect for those affected. We speak with families, detectives, victim advocates, and forensic experts to understand what happened—and why these cases remain unsolved. Every episode centers the victims, not the drama. We're looking into decades-old disappearances, following up on unsolved murders, and exploring why certain cases don't get the coverage they deserve. From small towns to major cities, we tell these important stories. Real cases. Real families. Real justice—that's what matters in every episode of The Fall Line®.

    The Disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little - A New Investigation

    Mary Shotwell Little vanished from Lenox Square mall in Atlanta on October 14, 1965. The 25-year-old newlywed's car was found the next day with blood evidence and unexplained mileage, launching one of the city's most intensive searches. Now, a decade-long investigation by civilian researchers has uncovered previously unseen FBI files and identified new leads in Mary's cold case. The new documentary THE VANISHING: The 60-Year Unsolved Disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little reveals their discoveries and explores fresh theories about what happened to the Atlanta bank secretary. Season 24 of The Fall Line covers missing persons, unsolved homicides, and unresolved deaths across the United States. If you have information about Mary Shotwell Little's disappearance or the murder of Diane Shields: Contact Atlanta Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (404) 546-4236 or Atlanta CrimeStoppers at (404) 577-TIPS (8477).
