As investigators retrace her familiar route, the absence of evidence at the scene shifts the case from concern to suspicion. What begins as a missing-person report quickly reveals a crime rooted not in randomness, but in proximity. The investigation uncovers how routine can be exploited and how familiarity can conceal intent. This episode follows the case from disappearance to conviction, relying only on verified facts and documented evidence. It is the story of how a community search led to a definitive answer.
