In this episode, Arlene and Leah uncover the tragic cases of Senovia Medina, a young mother who fled civil war in El Salvador only to vanish in Houston in 2006 — her boyfriend later convicted of her murder, though her body was never found — and Cecilia Huerta Gallegos, a San Antonio nurse and mother of four who told her sister, “If anything happens to me, look at my husband,” before disappearing in 2019.

Join us as we trace the evidence, the contradictions, and the families’ tireless fight for answers in two Texas cases that remain shrouded in heartbreak and mystery.

Her husband was convicted, released, and reconvicted in a legal saga that still divides Williamson County. Was justice truly served, or is the real story still buried in the evidence?

In 1987, 24-year-old Margaret Chauncy left her shift at St. Michael’s Hospital in Texarkana and asked a coworker to follow her home, fearing she was being stalked by a man in a black car. She pulled into her apartment complex in her red Pontiac Fiero—and vanished. Nearly 38 years later, Margaret’s case remains unsolved.

Two decades later, in 2007, 44-year-old Lisa Chandler spoke with her mother about her divorce and plans to see a doctor. The next day, her car sat in her driveway, her purse and ID were on the kitchen table, and her loyal dog guarded the yard—but Lisa was gone. Despite extensive searches, her trail ended five miles south of Wolfe City.

Join Arlene & Leah as they investigate.
