When two women vanish from the same Texas city in the summer of 2006, little attention is focused on their cases. But when a federal probe puts the city’s police department and one officer in particular under the microscope, everyone’s attention shifts. When human remains start showing up in nearby Angelina National Forest, even more questions arise.
