The Disappearance of Regina McCorkle
Manage episode 447264222 series 3571346
A mother arrives home where her 19-year-old daughter and 18 month old grandson are staying with her. She expects the house to be empty because her daughter is supposed to be at work and her grandson to the babysitters. But when she arrives home, she see's her daughter's car still in the driveway. Even more puzzling, the house is locked from the inside. Confusion turns to concern when she hears her grandson crying in the home and her daughter doesn't answer the door. After forcing her way into the home, she finds her grandson unharmed but no sign of her daughter. This case has gone on a roller-coaster of leads, but still remains one of the most confusing and bizarre cases the Quad City Region has ever seen.
