Episode 321: K.C. Gauf, Part 1

When a Phoenix detective in the domestic violence unit received a parental abduction case in October of 2014, he knew something was “off” about the suspect he was tracking. Alexis and Jac explore the bizarre kidnapping, which spanned state lines and brought the investigation to the set of a Disney TV show before the culprit was taken into custody. However, it turns out that violence was brewing just under the suspect’s surface and a horrible tragedy was on the horizon.
