Case 4: Where is Heather?

On a summer afternoon in 1996, Tim Walthall was testing out his new high-powered telescope along the banks of the Ohio River bordering Indiana and Kentucky. But instead of the usual wildlife and barges, he witnessed a horrifying crime through the lens: the abduction of a young woman sunbathing on a remote beach across the river. Tim immediately called 911, but by the time police arrived, the perpetrator and victim had vanished. The missing woman was identified as twenty-three-year-old Heather Teague, a former honor student and beauty queen whose life had recently taken a troubled turn. Eyewitness testimony and a suspicious vehicle description soon pointed to one man, Marty Dill, who was well-known to police in the area. But what exactly happened to Heather that fateful day? Join us as we unravel a mother's desperate quest for the truth about her missing daughter, a convoluted investigation spanning two states, and a tragic case that remains shrouded in mystery to this day.
