Episode 18: The Disappearance of Heather Teague
It was a hot summer Saturday in Henderson County, Kentucky on August 26th, 1995. 23 year old Heather Teague went to an isolated area on Newburgh Beach to sunbathe and perhaps have some time alone. Her peaceful tranquility was shattered when a bearded man stole from the woods and grabbed Heather by her hair. He dragged the 23 year old away from the beach where the forest seemed to swallow her whole. Heather Teague was never seen again.
