Summary
The small, tight-knit town of Bardstown, Kentucky, was forever changed on a summer night in 2015 when Crystal Rogers, a devoted mother of five, vanished without a trace. Her car was discovered abandoned along the Bluegrass Parkway with a flat tire, her keys, phone, and purse still inside, but Crystal was nowhere to be found. The mystery deepened just one year later when her father, Tommy Ballard, was shot and killed while preparing for a hunting trip, leaving a grieving family to wonder if their search for the truth had turned deadly. Find out how a missing person's case transformed into a sprawling web of secrets and betrayal on this episode of "Prime Crime with Jesse Weber."
