Episode Details

In April 2010, Eric Preimesberger — a 29-year-old father of two known for his big smile and his beloved scooter — vanished from his Reno, Nevada home. His wife told police he'd stormed out after an argument and would never be back. For months, that was the only story anyone had.

But Eric's mother never bought it. She kept pushing, kept calling, kept refusing to let her son's disappearance quietly fade into a closed file — and four months later, her instincts would prove devastatingly right.

A story of family, betrayal, and a cover-up that unraveled almost by accident. Along the way, they uncover a shocking detail buried in Nevada law — a rule over a century old that meant one of the people most responsible for what happened to Eric never had to face a single charge.

This is a story about how far people will go to protect the ones they love — and what happens when the law protects that instinct a little too well.
