The Box in the Closet: The Freeman-Bible Case (Oklahoma)

On December 30, 1999, firefighters responding to a house fire in the tiny town of Welch, Oklahoma, uncovered the beginning of one of America's most heartbreaking unsolved mysteries. Two parents had been murdered. Two teenage girls had vanished without a trace. For nearly twenty years, investigators chased false confessions, overlooked critical evidence, and missed clues that had been sitting inside a forgotten box in a sheriff's office storage closet. Even after arrests and convictions, Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible have never been found. Tonight, we follow the twists, failures, and heartbreaking search for the truth behind one of Oklahoma's darkest crimes.
