You guys, last year, I received an email from a Crime Junkie. A woman named Jasmine wanted help because her aunt had
00:00:06
recently vanished from Taos County, New Mexico, and no one could agree on what happened
00:00:12
to her. But everyone did agree to speak with us because at the heart of it, they all say
00:00:18
they want to know what happened to her. Her husband and her daughter think that she left on her own. Other family
00:00:25
believes that she was a victim of foul play. To be honest with you, I don't know what to believe. Each side
00:00:33
believes their theory so fervently that I'm afraid my recounting of the facts as
00:00:37
I know them are going to upset everyone because even the facts don't make sense.
00:00:42
But that usually means that we're missing something, a piece of the puzzle that maybe one of you out there hearing
00:00:49
this right now might have. And there is a small chance that missing piece has bigger implications than I
00:00:57
could have ever imagined when I first read Jasmine's email [music] last year. This is the story of Melissa Cacias.
