Episode notes
Person Of Interest Status Created Frustration
- Chicago police treated Josh Simmons as a person of interest early but never publicly confirmed his identity for years.
- That ambiguity and limited updates fueled family frustration and suspicion about investigative effort.
Suspension Undermined Family Trust
- CPD classified Kiera's case as suspended in 2022 but stated they still considered it high-risk with foul play suspected.
- Suspension does not preclude reopening if new information surfaces, but it erodes family trust.
Revised Timeline Narrows Window
- New CPD video revised Kiera's disappearance timeline to the night of October 2nd with ATM footage showing a $400 withdrawal.
- That tighter timeline suggests perpetrators had hours to conceal evidence before she was reported missing.
