Replay: Kimberly Flint - A Mile From Answers
Summary
This episode details the 2018 disappearance of Kim Flint in rural Texas, whose Jeep was found in a single-vehicle accident with no driver present. Her son, Corbett, recounts the family’s shock and their frustration with the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office, which initially treated the incident as an abandoned vehicle rather than a missing person case. The narrative explores Kim’s recent struggles with depression and health issues, while contrasting the family’s urgent, independent search efforts with the law enforcement’s delayed and perceived lack of thoroughness.
