In the Summer of 2004, 24-year-old Tamika Huston went missing in Spartanburg, SC. Her ex-boyfriend was a prime suspect until DNA evidence ruled him out. Her case didn't get national media attention because, at the same time, Laci Peterson and Natalie Holloway's cases were in the news. A key found in Tamika's car led police to give Tamika the justice she deserved 15 months later.

Also happy 40th episode!
