52 year old Jerry Wolking was a family man nearing retirement in October 1990. Days before his disappearance, his family states he was acting unusual and jumpy. His girlfriend at the time would be the last to see him alive. Moline Police say once he arrived home, he was attacked and taken, never to be seen alive again. Clues have popped up over the last 30 years, but no one knows where Jerry is. This week's episode breaks down the days leading up to his disappearance, the timeline Police have established in the years since, and who they believe is behind the crime but why no charges can be filed.
