Natalie Wood became famous for roles in iconic films like Miracle on 34th Street, West Side Story, Gypsy and Rebel Without a Cause.

In this episode, we bring you two cases. First, we cover the 2013 disappearance and subsequent murder of a woman named Chelsea Bruck. Chelsea vanished from a Halloween party on a rural Michigan farm a few days before Halloween. Her body wasn't found for several months, but when it was finally discovered it contained DNA evidence that soon lead police to her killer, Daniel Clay. In our second case, we cover the unsolved disappearance of a Minnesota woman named Veronica Sofranski. Like Chelsea, Veronica disappeared from a Halloween party. Unlike Chelsea, Veronica was never seen again, dead or alive. The last man she was seen with is the main and only suspect, but police have never had enough solid evidence to charge him. Support the Show.
