Gone on Christmas: Parris Hopson & Za’zell Preston // 565

In December of 2019, a young woman stepped out for a walk on Christmas Day after feeling anxious at a family gathering, and she never returned. Eerily, after she vanished, her recent email to an attorney about being blackmailed surfaced, alongside the suspicion that she had gotten too close to finding the person responsible for her brother’s recent death… Years earlier, another family’s Christmas celebration ended in a chilling discovery: a 26-year-old wife and mother found dead inside her own home, staged like a mannequin on her couch on Christmas morning. These two cases, though separated by time and circumstance, reveal how the holiday meant for comfort and togetherness can instead become the backdrop for secrets, deception, and unanswered truths for some families. These are the stories of Parris Hopson and Za’zell Preston.
