The Final Hours with Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole

For more than three decades, the disappearance of Michaela "Kayla" Garecht drew false confessions, dead-end digs, and a parade of suspects. A lying jailhouse tipster, a convicted child killer, the notorious "Speed Freak Killers" and a well full of bones. Before finally, a partial palm print was pulled from Kayla's scooter. Each lead raised her family's hopes; each one broke their hearts. Decades after a stranger drove her away, a charge would finally name a suspect, even as a mother refused to stop searching for the truth about what happened to her daughter.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow The Final Hours to never miss a case!

On the Saturday before Thanksgiving in 1988, nine-year-old Michaela "Kayla" Garecht and her best friend rode their scooters two blocks to a Hayward, California corner store for candy and soda. Minutes later, in a busy parking lot in broad daylight, a stranger grabbed Kayla, forced her into a car, and drove off. What began as an ordinary morning became one of California's most haunting disappearances: an eyewitness account that should have cracked the case, a crucial early mistake that sent police chasing the wrong man, and a trail that went cold before it ever got warm.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow The Final Hours to never miss a case!

In the fall of 1992, 14-year-old Misty Copsey vanished after a night at the Puyallup Fair. For months the police wrote her off as a runaway until her clothes surfaced along Highway 410. Only then did the real investigation begin. Persons of interest drifted in and out of focus over the years, alongside polygraphs, false leads, and an amateur investigator whose obsession with the case may have done as much harm as good. Decades later, an unknown man's DNA is one of the only tangible traces left, yet no one has ever been charged in Misty's disappearance.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow The Final Hours to never miss a case!
