The most recent episode available, titled “The Butterfly,” follows the lengthy investigation into the murder of gifted college art student Katelyn Markham. The 21-year-old mysteriously vanished from her Fairfield, Ohio home in August of 2011, but it would take years for her determined family to get justice. Resolution finally came after detectives got a “big break” that took the case in a new direction.
In “The Shadow in the Window," teen Aya Altantawi woke up one morning in 2017 to discover her 35-year-old mother Nada Huranieh lying dead on the patio. It initially appeared to be a tragic accident, but an investigation into Huranieh’s death would reveal “something much more disturbing,” according to the episode’s synopsis. Altantawi recounted the horrific ordeal and the aftermath of the deadly discovery to Dateline’s Keith Morrison in the harrowing episode.
“The Day Akia Disappeared” retraces the haunting case of pregnant mother Akia Eggleston, who vanished just before her own baby shower in May of 2017. Baltimore Police Department detectives knew it was “highly unlikely” that Eggleston would have simply disappeared on her own, considering she was eight months pregnant. As they delved deeper into the case, detectives discovered secrets that Akia’s family knew nothing about, and that may have cost her life.
