When 33-year-old Lashaun Keith’s body is discovered in a remote Michigan hay field, detectives have almost nothing to go on. There are no eyewitnesses and no clear suspects.

On April 6, 2018, in Wadsworth, Ohio, ninety-eight-year-old Margaret Douglas falls suddenly, inexplicably silent inside the little house she’s kept the same for decades.
