Its summer of 1990, a thirteen-year-old Texas girl named Deanna is doing her best, living in a difficult situation but also trying to just be a regular teenage girl. One night, she sneaks out of the house to visit her twin sister, who is staying with a relative. They chat for a bit before the relative wakes up and tells her to head back home. But Deanna would never make it back home that night. Her case has a lot of problems – including that its had various times where it hasn’t been investigated at all. Its also had a lot of red herrings – distractions that remain prevalent in the narrative that the public hears. In this episode, I’m joined by Deanna’s younger sister Melissa, the person who is working so hard to push her case forward – and she wants to set the record straight so that people are focusing on the right things moving forward. The pieces that could help bring her and her family long awaited answers.
A HUGE thank you to Melissa for joining me for this episode and sharing her sister's story.
