In this week's episode, we'll unravel the chilling disappearance of Mekayla Bali, a mysterious puzzle that began on April 12, 2016, in the quiet Canadian town of Yorkton, Saskatchewan. As Mekayla went about her routine on what was a seemingly ordinary day - going to school, mingling with friends - her sudden absence became a terrifying reality when she failed to return home. So we'll be deconstructing the timeline leading up to her disappearance, exploring the specifics of that fateful day and the cryptic clues that emerged months down the line - including the unusual data (or lack thereof) recovered from her cell phone company. Despite exhaustive efforts by investigators and appeals to the public for information, her vanishing continues to stump both authorities and this tight-knit community to this day. Did she voluntarily disappear or was there foul play? Where could Mekayla Bali have gone?
