Summary

We take a look at the oldest disappearance found on Israel Keyes's computer. A young boy disappears on a family camping trip; and when no theories add up, his family takes a look back at some odd events that occurred leading up to the camping trip. This case which is definitively not related to Keyes's crimes, further compels our research into Alabama and the Gulf Coast.

Season 6 of True Crime Bullsh** will premiere in March.
