Summary

A Zumba instructor stands trial for the unsolved murder of his former girlfriend, Priscilla Brooten, who vanished in July 2018 with no body ever found. Waden claims she left him for another man, didn’t care for her welfare, and even didn’t know her real name until recently—calling her a manipulative liar who used fake identities and relationships to survive. He says he threatened to call immigration after a violent argument, and she left two days later. Despite years of investigation, no trace of Brooten has been found—and the trial continues with chilling unanswered questions. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
