1999: The Disappearance of Laresha “Deana” Walker

In Nashville, Tennessee, there’s a family—the Walkers—who have faced the terror of a loved one’s disappearance not once, but twice. In 1999, 23-year-old Laresha “Deana” Walker vanished after dropping off her two-year-old son. Nearly two decades later, her mother Wanda Faye Walker went missing, too. This season covers missing persons and unsolved homicides across the American Southeast.   If you have information regarding Deana’s disappearance, please contact Detective Matthew Filter at  615-862-7803. You can also call Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME (615-742-7463). Callers remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

Om Podcasten

True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.  The Fall Line® focuses on ethical, deep-dive coverage of the cold cases of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does.  Intensive research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts tell the stories of victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.
