In November of 1999, Zetta Camille Arfmann was a 14-year-old freshman at Oskaloosa High School in Oskaloosa, Kansas. She had recently moved in with her sister, Heidi Bledsoe, Heidi’s husband, Floyd and the couple’s children Cody and Christian. This move proved good for Camille, as she quickly began to succeed academically, becoming an honor roll student, and found stability with Heidi and Floyd. Shortly after her move, tragedy would strike. On November 5th, 1999, Camille was dropped off at her home by the bus driver wand was seen walking towards her home. That was the last time Camille Arfmann was seen alive. After a frantic search into her disappearance and the discovery of her body days later on a family farm, a small town would be pushed and pulled over allegations that centered around two brothers: Tom and Floyd Bledsoe. It would take 16 years of pain and mystery before the truth finally came to light as to what really happened to Camille. A good old fashioned ‘whodunnit’ case that will have you bewildered and blind-sided at every turn.
