Manipulation, jailhouse calls, and monsters.Morgan Bauer was 19 years old when she left her hometown of Aberdeen, South Dakota, dreaming of starting a new life in Atlanta.  But within weeks of arriving in Georgia, Morgan vanished. As the search for Morgan began, investigators were led to 19-year-old Katelyn Goble and 26-year-old Jonathan “Alex” Warren. Ten years after Morgan's murder, Katelyn Goble stood trial. Katelyn claimed she had only participated in the murder because Alexander Warren forced her to. But Katelyn was not a victim. And what she said when she thought no one was listening proved her lies and manipulation went further than anyone imagined.If you suspect that someone you know or even someone you don’t is the victim of human trafficking, In the US you can find resources at the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or by visiting Home | National Human Trafficking HotlineSOURCES:Morgan Bauer case: Katelyn Goble found guilty in 2016 killing | FOX 5 Atlanta Judge finds guiltyMissing S.D. woman believed to be in Atlanta, reward offered | FOX 5 Atlanta7 years later: Search resumes for woman who mysteriously disappeared after moving to Georgia | FOX 5 AtlantaMissing Morgan Bauer: Suspect pleads guilty to Porterdale teen’s murder | FOX 5 AtlantaThousands Searching for Teen Morgan Bauer Who Disappeared After Moving to AtlantaCouple Strangled, Dismembered and Burned Remains of Teenager After Luring Her to HomeMORGAN BAUER CASE: FBI, Porterdale police conducting search related to disappearance of missing teen in Atlanta - WSB-TV Channel 2 - AtlantaTrial on Law and Crime: https://www.youtube.com/live/JpHA47e7pFs?is=38c_z-HN6R9j20-nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/qRiyoXJdM9Q?is=Un3JnMEBPHPU6BXvhttps://www.youtube.com/live/Un72Z9Ic81k?is=alSJajUsYs0H8ZUMhttps://www.youtube.com/live/zX2dSvn05dM?is=p7qBTiunYnkehahrLeast of These on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/leastofthesepodcast/Least of These Discussion Group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/288046119723080/?ref=pages_profile_groups_tab&paipv=1Least of These on Instagram: www.instagram.com/least_ofthese/Our Sponsors:* Check out Uncommon Goods and use my code uncommongoods.com/LEASTOFTHESE for a great deal: https://www.uncommongoods.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
