367: Caroline Glachan

On the night of the 24th of August 1996, a 14-year-old girl left a housing estate in a small Scottish town and walked alone toward a river in the dark. The investigation into what happened to her would remain unsolved for 27 years, sustained by one mother's refusal to stop asking, and finally cracked by the memory of a four-year-old boy.

366: The Swartz Family

On the morning of January 17th, 1984, a 17-year-old boy picked up the phone and called 911. He said his parents were dead. The investigation that followed would divide a close-knit community, force a prosecutor to question his own instincts, and cause the detectives working the case to go home at night and look at their own children differently.

On the night of the 4th of December 1998, two teenage boys were having a sleepover in a trailer in rural Hopewell, Missouri. They played games, they stayed up late, and eventually they fell asleep. In the early hours of the following morning, they woke up to the smell of smoke. It was coming from the room at the end of the hallway. Neither of them would ever forget what they found on the other side of that door.

On 26 September, 2016, a young mother rushed from a Harlem apartment building carrying her six-year-old son in her arms. The boy was limp, unresponsive. His small body was covered in bruises, welts, and broken bones - evidence of months of brutal abuse. The investigation into what happened would reveal something equally disturbing: a child welfare system that had failed him at every turn, despite five separate reports of abuse.

363: Julie Williams & Lollie Winans

On the 31st of May, 1996, Tom Williams picked up the phone and called Shenandoah National Park. His daughter, Julie, hadn't come home from her camping trip with her girlfriend, Lollie. She was supposed to be back by the 28th. Three days had passed. She had a new job starting June first. Julie wasn't the kind of person who just didn't show up.
