View show details

This transcript documents the cold case investigation into the 1993 disappearance and murder of Frank McAlister, a nineteen-year-old from Redding, California. After the victim's blood-stained vehicle was discovered abandoned at a local warehouse store, the trail went cold for nearly twenty-five years. The silence finally broke in 2018 when Brian Hawkins approached a news reporter to confess his involvement, citing a religious awakening and decades of guilt. His admission led to the arrest of siblings Shanna and Curtis Culver, who had participated in a robbery and fatal stabbing disguised as a drug deal. The narrative concludes with the legal sentencing of all three suspects, providing a somber resolution for the victim's family after a quarter-century of uncertainty.
