In January of 2008, a 19-year-old woman went missing from Reno, Nevada. When her body was discovered weeks later in a field, evidence brought police to her killer. But 10 years later, in January of 2018, her 19-year-old cousin boarded a plane to Texas from Nevada, and was never seen by her family again. When home security camera footage captured a woman who resembled her, the mystery deepened. This the murder of Brianna Denison, and the disappearance of Caitlin Denison.  BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1. Brianna's Find A Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/164600482/brianna-zunino-denison/photo 2.

In February of 2004, a 21-year-old nursing student vanished after being involved in a car accident in New Hampshire. When police arrived at the scene, she was gone, and to this day, she has never been found. Does her disappearance have anything to do with what she had been searching online the night before she went missing? Or did she get into the car with a stranger to leave the scene of her accident? With numerous theories floating around, they all lead to the same question: Where is she? This is the story of Maura Murray.

In January of 1999, a 30-year-old pregnant mother was found murdered in her Texas bedroom closet. Police suspected her high school football coach husband from the beginning, but it wasn’t until eight years later that they would have enough evidence to convict him. And even after two trials, he still maintains that she was killed by burglars. So what really happened? This is the murder of Belinda Temple.

In January of 2003, a 20-year-old college student in Colorado didn’t return home after a night out with friends. One week later, her body was found in a canyon outside of the city, clearly having been abducted and murdered. As police investigated the case, they uncovered that her killer had posed as a police officer, and pulled her over for a routine traffic stop before she disappeared, and that Lacy’s phony traffic stop wasn’t the first time it had occurred. This is the murder of Lacy Miller. BONUS EPISODES patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1. Find A Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46149832/lacy-jo-miller 2.
