The Attempted Fetal Abduction of Angelique Cruz
In the United States, fetal abduction accounted for 6% of the recorded 302 cases of infant abduction between 1983 and 2015. This phenomenon is so rare that most people would never expect it to happen to them. At the age of 18, Angelique Cruz was only weeks shy of delivering her baby boy when a friend made an attempt at stealing him. We had the privilege of hearing the story from Angelique directly, so join us as she takes us through the ups and downs of that fateful night.
You can follow her on Instagram (@angelique.monet92) and TikTok (@angeliquemonet0 to keep up with any future progress on her case.

Intertwined: The Story of Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham
In October of 2009, 20-year-old Morgan Harrington disappeared after attending a Metallica concert in Charlottesville. Months later, her remains were discovered in a remote field a few miles away. Fast forward to September 2014 and the story repeats itself with 18-year-old Hannah Graham who went missing after leaving a party. Her remains were found exactly five years and one day after Morgan’s disappearance. It wasn’t long before security footage revealed these two young women had something in common: the last person who saw them alive. Join us today as Briana goes through the details of these cases, how they connected, and how Hannah’s disappearance helped solve not only Morgan’s case, but another that had gone cold.
Please consider making a donation to Help Save the Next Girl on behalf of Morgan, Hannah, and their families.
