Episode 103: Amanda Gaeke | Taken in Broad Daylight

TW: This case includes heinous acts against children

In 1991 a beautiful 9 year old girl went missing from the North Park neighborhood of San Diego, CA. This case, and it’s twists and turns, brings to light the high crime rates San Diego suffered from in the early 1990s-and a bizarre string of missing children's cases, some of which have still not been solved. But this case, the one of Amanda Gaeke, does get solved, and it is worse than you could ever imagine.
