In 1990, Valeri Brooks vanished during her night shift at a convenience store in Versailles, Kentucky, only to be found murdered hours later on a nearby road. More than three decades later, her case remains unsolved, but her family has never stopped searching for the truth. Her brother Michael and sister Tracy join the studio, alongside Alex Paul, to share Valeri’s story and ensure she is never forgotten.
