Speaker 1: Pushkin. In the summer of twenty twenty, in the small
Speaker 1: mountain town of Idleworld, California, some disturbing news began to spread.
Speaker 1: Five women had disappeared in the span of just a
Speaker 1: few months.
Speaker 2: When that started happening, you know, all of us girls
Speaker 2: were kind of saying, Okay, well, we're not going to
Speaker 2: go anywhere without somebody else.
Speaker 1: I hike a lot in that area and always on
Speaker 1: my own, So the news really hit home, and being
Speaker 1: a journalist, I wanted to find out what was going on,
Speaker 1: so I started making some calls. Eventually I found out
Speaker 1: what happened to all the women, all except one Lydia
Speaker 1: kenschlo Abrams, known as Dea, a glamorous sixty five five
Speaker 1: year old who from the outside looking in, seemed to
Speaker 1: have it all.
Speaker 2: She's a woman who was confident about herself, always giving
Speaker 2: compliments to others. But at the same time, this petite
Speaker 2: woman kid opened up a can of wood bass like
Speaker 2: no one I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: In the days after Dia disappeared, her friends, her neighbors,
Speaker 1: and her kids began to search for her. They ran
Speaker 1: through endless theories. Was she lying hurt somewhere, had she
Speaker 1: run away, had she been kidnapped killed. There were two
Speaker 1: men in her life who led the searchers, her son
Speaker 1: Clinton Abrams, and a man named Keith Harper, who lived
Speaker 1: with Dea on her sprawling ranch and said they were engaged.
Speaker 1: It didn't take long for people to start pointing fingers,
Speaker 1: because it turns out there were people who could benefit
Speaker 1: if Diaz suddenly disappeared. Her estate was worth millions of dollars.
Speaker 3: People I didn't know were in our family home, and
Speaker 3: I had gone up there ever since I was a
Speaker 3: little kid. And now suddenly, you know, the people who
Speaker 3: I suspect had murdered her are moving in.
Speaker 4: You know, obviously, when you're the last person, always.
Speaker 1: Become the suspect. I soon discovered that everyone had a
Speaker 1: different version of events.
Speaker 4: He had every reason to harm her, but so did
Speaker 4: Chrissara and Clinton just because so much money's involved.
Speaker 1: I've been reporting this story for four years now. I've
Speaker 1: uncovered a tangled web of manipulation power estrange families.
Speaker 4: And greed to me the viable suspects are the kids
Speaker 4: or Harbor. He asked us to investigate it using our methodologies,
Speaker 4: and he was already contact the various psychics around the country.
Speaker 5: You can't trust anything, the man says at all, Like
Speaker 5: you can pretty much just take out a sharpie and
Speaker 5: just cross out every year thing.
Speaker 2: He said, if any one of the parties the kids
Speaker 2: for me, had anything to do with their disappearance or dead,
Speaker 2: we would get nothing. She turned to me and she said,
Speaker 2: if anything ever happens to me, Clinton did.
Speaker 5: It, And I was like, what the actual fuck.
