In December 1996, a six-year-old girl was reported missing from her home in Boulder, Colorado.
A ransom note had been left inside the house, demanding a specific amount of money. The case was initially treated as a kidnapping.

There were no confirmed signs of forced entry.
The ransom note was written using materials from inside the home.
No definitive timeline was established for the events that occurred during the night.
This episode reconstructs the documented sequence of events, based on available records and official reporting.
More than two decades later, the case remains unresolved.
