When a teen disappears from a rural Virginia farming town in the fall of 2022, his remains are soon found in a clandestine woodland grave, buried beneath layers of lye and cement. Other deaths quickly follow, deepening a community’s grief and complicating an already-troubled investigation in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

This podcast broke my heart. So much death and no answers. I think former chief Barnes either knows who killed Cion or maybe was involved. I find him suspicious. Then the suicide or possible murder of Brandon, who obviously had information or possible involvement in Cion’s death. I hope and pray that Cion and all the families who lost loved ones eventually get answers and closure.
Leah and Scott, could there be a drug element to these deaths?
