Episode Details

Cynthia Hoffman was 19-years-old living in Anchorage, Alaska with her family who she was extremely close with. On June 2, 2019 Cynthia told her father she was going on a "highke" with her friend,  Angela. Then she vanished. As her friends & family frantically searched for her, police uncovered a motive that's so bizarre, they initially didn't believe it. But the further they dug, the more disturbing the truth became.
