Join us tonight as we discuss a case from Camden NJ that sits at the crossroads of true crime, literary myth, and the uncomfortable truth about how real girls disappear behind fictional ones.

This is the story of Sally Horner, the child whose kidnapping and captivity would echo through American culture long after her death… and whose name was nearly erased by the fame of the novel she never lived to read.

February is a month of rituals- roses, chocolate and Hallmark cards. But this month we have another key date- Friday the 13th. And what happens when these dates collide? You find out love isn't safe, just like Tiana Notice did in 2009.
