• THE GYM MAT INCIDENT: KENDRICK JOHNSON

  On January 11, 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled-up gym mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Students discovered his sock-clad feet sticking out during gym class, prompting calls to 911. His mother, Jacquelyn Johnson, who had been searching for him since the night before, arrived at the school unaware of the tragedy unfolding inside the gym. The fight for justice for Kendrick is still as strong as it was that day. Join us as we unravel the details, theories, and lingering questions surrounding this case.

In February 2009, 14-year-old Amber Dubois disappeared while walking to school in Escondido, California. Her family searched tirelessly—without answers. A year later, 17-year-old Chelsea King went missing during her routine run in a nearby park. Was this a total coincidence that two young girls completely vanished? Or was there a serial killer to blame? In this episode, we piece together the facts behind Amber’s disappearance, the shocking investigation into serial offender John Gardner, and how one mother’s heartbreak became a mission to protect others.
