The Betsy Faria case
The Season 2 premiere features the Betsy Faria case. The “Betsy’s Trust” episode, which aired Monday, Oct. 5, investigates the death of a mother, Betsy Faria, who was found stabbed to death in her Missouri home. Was it suicide or murder by her husband? More dead bodies and strange twists unravel a murder mystery that refuses to stay buried.
The Bonnie Craig case
The second episode of Season 2, “A Mother’s Crusade,” centers on the Bonnie Craig case. The episode, which aired Monday, Oct. 12, follows the case of 18-year-old Bonnie Craig, who disappeared during a routine walk to the school bus stop. Her body was discovered later that day in the water near a trail, and with no signs of foul play police initially ruled her death a hiking accident. But her mother, Karen, an Alaska state trooper working undercover as a drug officer, refused to accept their explanation. Was Bonnie murdered in retaliation for one of her mother’s cases?
The Camilo Salazar case
The third episode, “Camilo’s Secret,” airs Monday, Oct. 19. The installment investigates the case of Camilo Salazar, a Miami businessman who goes missing after dropping his baby off at his wife’s office. Across town, a business magnate disappears on the same day. When detectives connect the two missing-person cases, the investigation stretches from Camilo’s tight-knit family into South Florida’s business elite and the world of MMA fighting.
