System Stall: The Death of Shawna Toya

The Toya family continues seeking answers after discovering evidence they believe was overlooked—including another woman's ID found in Shawna's car and missing rent money.

Season 24 of The Fall Line covers missing persons, unsolved homicides, and unresolved deaths across the United States.
