Episode notes
On a deserted Florida backroad, a passing moment goes unnoticed until it becomes the key to a crime no one saw coming.
When a young, pregnant woman is found in a roadside ditch, investigators are left with fragments: a truck in the dark, a web of secrets, and a timeline that refuses to stay quiet.
What follows is a slow unraveling where routine turns sinister, and the truth is revealed in a place no one thought to look.
