Hell in the Heartland: What Happened to Ashley and Lauria

2. The Suspects

After digging into the 1999 murders of Kathy and Danny Freeman and the disappearance of their daughter Ashley and her best friend Lauria Bible, Jax and Sarah discover that this story is far more complicated than it appears. Only a year prior to the fire, the Freemans' son, Shane, was killed by a deputy of the Craig County Sheriff's Office, inciting a year long conflict between the Freemans and local law enforcement, and raising suspicion that the Freeman murder is a police cover-up. Jax and Sarah explore all possible leads in the months following the fire, and reveal a string of serial murderers and drug kingpins that may have had a hand in this case.

3. The Dig

With new info about the location of the girls’ possibly buried bodies, Jax and Sarah prepare for a dig that could finally provide the answers.

4. The Arrest

Years of dead ends and unsuccessful searches have left the Bible and the Freeman families in utter despair. But they've never given up hope. After a new sheriff takes over the investigation, the case is blown wide open when he discovers a box of evidence that leads to what the families have been waiting years for an arrest.
