Summary

Samantha Koenig vanished from a small coffee shop in Anchorage, Alaska on February 1, 2012. Despite surveillance video that showed she was held at gunpoint before being taken, authorities thought it was a sham and that Samantha would be back on her own. They were wrong. Samantha had been kidnapped. It would take 3 full weeks for this fact to become crystal clear. It was when the FBI got fully involved that they were able to hunt down the perpetrator. And when they found him, they realized - this man was an expert criminal. Join Margot as she explores the tragic story of Samantha Koenig and the hunt for her killer. ——- Ways to support your favorite podcast: Join My Patreon Family!
