Ep. 5: Laurinburg Woman Found Buried | Christy Russell

In this episode, you'll hear from the law enforcement about the chilling discovery of Christy's body and from Christy’s sister, Holly, who despite giving up hope, knows Christy's story needs to be told!
Any names mentioned in this episode, including those who may have been considered persons of interest, have not been charged by law enforcement or convicted in the court of law.

A sincere thank you to law enforcement, but most importantly to the families who trust me to tell their loved one's story.
