Episode 44: Cassandra Gross

She was here one day… and gone the next. No goodbyes. No trace. Just an empty space where a life once was. The investigation pointed to one person—a suspect hiding in plain sight. But with no body and no concrete proof, justice slipped through the cracks. The law may have declared her dead, but the truth? That remains buried. Come with us as we uncover the mystery of Cassandra Gross—a case that should have been solved, a family searching for answers, and a suspect who probably has those answers.
