Description

On the morning of November 19, 1988, nine-year-old Michaela Garecht was abducted in broad daylight from a neighborhood market parking lot in Hayward, California. What began as a quick trip to grab snacks turned into a case that would haunt the Bay Area and the nation for decades. Despite massive search efforts, national media attention, and countless leads, Michaela was never found.

Thirty-two years later, a breakthrough came: a suspect was charged with her kidnapping and murder, based on forensic evidence recovered from the scene. But questions remain—and justice has yet to be fully delivered.

This episode traces the facts from that morning at the Rainbow Market, through years of false leads and renewed attention, to the charges now facing a convicted killer with a violent past. Michaela’s case remains open—and her story, unresolved.
