This podcast episode explores the mysterious disappearance of Adrienne Salinas and the subsequent investigation by the Tempe Police Department (Tempe PD). Adrienne's father reports her missing, and conflicting information from her roommates, Rebecca and Fran, raises suspicion. The investigation takes a surprising turn when a 911 call reports an erratic driver matching Adrienne's car description, but the car is gone by the time the police arrive at the crash site. Fran, who had been with Adrienne, becomes a person of interest as the investigators try to piece together the timeline of events. The investigation focuses on examining phone records, surveillance footage, and conducting interviews to uncover the truth. However, the case becomes more complicated with the disappearance of crucial evidence, including a Blackberry and the discovery of decomposed remains in the Superstition Mountains. As the investigators dig deeper, suspicions arise about the involvement of various individuals and potential connections to other crimes. The search for answers continues, but the case remains unsolved, leaving the mystery surrounding Adrienne's disappearance unresolved.
