Two stories are outlined. 1. On September 28, 2015, 20-year-old Joseph W. Smedley II, a student at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, sends his sister Vivianne Bernas a cryptic message about leaving town to move overseas. Three days later on October 2, 2015, his body is found in Griffy Lake, weighted down by a backpack filled with 66 pounds of rocks. The authorities declare the case to be a suicide, but the family disagrees. The family has not had adequate access to the police files and are still looking for answers. 2. On July 6, 2004, 22-year-old Molly Laura Dattilo of Indianapolis, Indiana disappeared. She was last seen with John Shelton, a violent man with a prison record who is a person of interest, along with John's father, Edward Shelton. In October 2008, a caller to a tip line shared information that John Shelton told his father Edward Shelton that he had "accidentally" killed a girl. The family members sued John Shelton in civil court and won their case. However, they still do not have answers about what happened and the police do not have enough evidence to further the case. Molly Dattilo was legally declared dead, but the family still wants answers.
