In this episode, we explore the heartbreaking disappearance of Kiplyn Davis, a teenage girl from Spanish Fork, Utah, whose case remains a mystery. We take you through the events leading up to her disappearance, the extensive search efforts that captivated her local community, and the enduring questions that linger. 

Research by our friend Whitney St. Andre, with the Navigating Advocacy podcast, and assistance by Haley Gray.

Special thank you to Brandie from Evaporate the Missing who put Haley in touch with Kiplyn’s sister, Karissa, who helped make this episode possible.
