About this episode
In 1977, a famous candy company heiress in Chicago mysteriously disappeared after a seemingly normal day visiting a clinic in a neighboring state. In this complex who-dun-it, you’ll question the butler, friends and family, and everyone she did dealings with to try and figure who wanted her dead; but it seems EVERYONE had a motive. From possible impersonators, to suspicious remodeling, and multiple confessions, this case has it all. This is the story of Helen Brach.
