In September 1992, 14-year-old Misty Copsey goes to the Washington State Fair with her best friend. Misty doesn’t make it home that night, and she is never seen again. Police initially deem her a runaway. Misty’s mom, Diana, insists they are wrong. Five months later, a search party finds a potential clue: a pair of jeans, socks and underwear crumpled along the side of a highway. Diana recognizes the jeans immediately, but the police are skeptical. More than 30 years later, through multiple investigations, no other trace of Misty has ever been found. How does a young girl disappear into thin air?And how could investigators fail to pursue leads that were right under their noses? In this captivating new series from ID, cold case investigator Sarah Cailean works through anonymous tips, interviews with Misty’s family and friends, police records, and media reports in an attempt to get to the bottom of whether Misty’s disappearance is the work of a serial killer or that of someone who knew Misty. Sarah won’t stop until she answers a question that’s haunted western Washington for more than three decades: Who Took Misty Copsey? Also, go back and listen to Season 1, "Why Can't We Talk About Amanda's Mom?" and Season 2, "Who Killed Jennifer Judd?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The unfolding story and the way it is told was really well done. But the background sound/music overlay at times was so extremely distracting it was hard to actually HEAR the content. I understand how this overlay was an attempt to build the intensity but the drip sound or chime or whatever it was was a terrible choice in my humble old guy opinion. Otherwise I highly recommend.
This podcast has me hooked. By episode two I feel strongly towards the host, she is strong and witty. The way she snapped at detectives and corrected their negative assumptions about the victims financial status really got me. I cannot wait to continue listening to this podcast! Update after listening to all of season one. I dropped it to 4 stars because of the ads. I understand they are necessary but for multiple 4 minute ads in a short episode is excessive as can be. Even big popular podcasts don’t have ads longer than 3 minutes!
I’ve listened to many and this is one of the best. The victimology angle is amazing. The in-depth interviews and access to information…also great. I am obsessed, and moved, and impressed.
I find listening to your episodes very interesting and keeps me hooked. The only suggestion I would make is to pronounce location names how the locals and state pronounce them. “Miami” Oklahoma is not pronounced the same way as “Miami”, Florida. Thank you and keep up the great investigative work.
This started out very interesting. By the end there is absolutely nothing solved despite bragging about access to DNA labs and police support. The same information repeated over and over. The poor families given hope for a resolution and they got nothing but reliving the trauma. Waste of time!
