As conflicting stories emerge about Priscilla’s whereabouts, Tara uncovers a series of missed opportunities, unanswered questions and a relationship that would soon become central to the investigation. When police finally knock on Priscilla’s former partner’s door, his answers only raise their suspicions. Contact us: [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
