MISSING: Kerry O’Brien-Krueger
Summary
Hosts Ashley Flowers and Britt investigate the 1989 disappearance of Carrie O'Brien Kruger, who vanished from Wisconsin, focusing on her husband Tracy’s suspicious behavior and subsequent amnesia. They detail his contradictory alibis, financial lies, and the family's belief that he murdered her. Despite Tracy developing hysterical amnesia, investigators found evidence of forgery and mishandled clues. Decades later, Racine County detectives reopened the cold case, seeking public help to interpret two key clues that may finally solve the mystery.
