The Dead Butterfly

Janice Pockett was only 7 years old when she went missing during the summer of 1973.

As she turned the corner, it was the last time anybody ever saw her again. For decades, the case has remained unsolved. It was not until recently, when a new piece of information turns the case upside down and shifts the investigation in an entirely new direction.
