UNSOLVED DISAPPEARANCE: ELIZABETH AND JOHN CALVERT

When a wealthy Lowcountry power-couple confronts their financial manager over missing funds, they vanish from their island retreat. Embezzlement is just the beginning; unanswered questions haunt a tale of money, murder and suicide in this episode of Last Seen Alive.
