Following retired Chicago detective Pamela Childs, a fearless and unflinching investigator whose mission is to not let cold cases go forgotten, the series explores some of the city's most haunting unsolved missing persons cases.
The series aims to bring answers and much-needed closure to the victims' loved ones and families.
