“Just wanted to say I’m okay and to stop bothering me”
\-
On March 26th, 2010, 21 year old Julie Ann Gonzalez vanishes, posting some bizarre messages on social media in the days following her disappearance and leaving her two year old daughter Layla behind. Her mother Sandra and Aunt Dora are sure that her ex-husband George DeLaCruz is responsible and that little Layla is living with a killer, but police aren’t convinced. Two months later George agrees to a polygraph on the Dr. Phil show, hoping to clear his name. The next day police receive a frantic 911 call from George’s mother, she’s uncovered something horrifying, and that Sandra and Dora may have been right all along, and they won’t give up until Julie gets justice.
