Locating the Lost

***LIVE*** THE MAN IN THE GREEN VAN -JUSTICE FOR LILLIAN PAYNE

In this deep-dive episode of Locating the Lost, we sit down with Kimberly Truitt, the aunt of Lillian Ann Marie Payne, to dissect one of the most haunting unsolved homicides in the Carolinas. In May 2020, Lillian stepped away from a Pilot gas station in Rock Hill and into a mystery that would end months later in the quiet woods of Chester County.Kimberly brings us into the heart of the heartbreak, detailing the frantic search and the grim discovery that changed their family forever. But we aren’t just looking back—we are looking for the truth. Together, we explore the chilling theories that continue to swirl around Lillian’s final moments:The "Green Caravan" Mystery: Who was behind the wheel of the vehicle Lillian was last seen entering? Was this a pre-arranged meeting, or a crime of opportunity?The Familiar Face Theory: Based on Lillian’s movements that day, did she know her killer? We discuss the possibility that someone within her social circle holds the key to the entire case.The Chester County Connection: Why was Lillian’s body found in such a remote area of Lowrys? We examine whether the killer had intimate knowledge of the local landscape or if it was a desperate attempt to hide the evidence.Lillian was a girl with a life ahead of her, not a cold case file. Kimberly shares the memories that keep the family's fire burning and the evidence they believe the public needs to see to finally break this case wide open.YOUR TURN TO TAKE ACTION:A killer has been free for years.

***LIVE*** THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIM CULLEN -A Vanishing in Largo

On a humid January day in 2018, 24-year-old Timothy Cullen sent a final text to his mother, Elaine: "I love you.". In that moment, he was just a young man with a bright future and a "Believe the Impossible" tattoo etched into his arm. But hours later, Timothy—a 6'5" gentle soul with high-functioning autism—vanished into thin air from his home in Largo, Florida.The mystery only deepened when his black 1999 Honda Civic was discovered abandoned at an apartment complex in Clearwater.

Days later, it had been moved to a different spot, its windows rolled halfway down, and its license plates stripped away.Who moved the car? And who was the "person of interest" that allegedly spent Timothy's final known hours with him—only to die in a shootout months later, taking his secrets to the grave?.
