## Resource

A former beauty queen vanished in July 2018, and prosecutors now allege her ex-partner, Mark Waden, murdered her — with her body still missing. The case, now in retrial after a juror was caught researching the case, hinges on circumstantial evidence: Waden’s phone records, his attempts to fake her departure, and his alleged efforts to cover up her disappearance — including sending messages about immigration, claiming she left for another man, and even giving her clothes to a new partner. The prosecution also points to her belongings left behind and Waden’s sudden property construction as red flags. The defense counters there’s no direct proof linking him to the crime. Her remains may have been dumped locally — but for now, the truth remains buried. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
