i called my mom and she didn t answer. i pretty much knew in my heart that something was wrong. a mother vanished. i cried myself to sleep. it was awful realizing your worst nightmare had come true. a family anguished. she s gone. do you have any idea how hard that was? now, the questions begin in a southern gothic mystery. the case is puzzling. we did not really know what had happened. who would everett manage and you would have a murder in the family. soon there would be secrets. we were dealing with a person that was leading a double life. and one of them, would prove deadly. have you ever said, i know you did this? it hurts too much for me to say it out loud. hello. and welcome to dateline. it s a case that centers on the mother who had gone missing in a small town secret, that led to a very big surprise. here s keith morrison. suppose for a minute you are sitting in your car. smacked up in the middle of tuscaloosa alabama. and you poin

because we didn t really know anything about what had happened. as far as evans could see, the case was a maybe at best. because she had no reason to kill teresa. so, you know, to bring a case against her would be pretty tough, i would think. the case with dawn is puzzling. when you re working with a circumstantial case, every piece of evidence is definitely important. not that corporal boyd and sheriff ellis thought for a second they were wrong. they believed dawn was the killer. they told the prosecutor not only that dawn murdered teresa but that they were convinced she tried and failed to kill her with a xanax overdose at the casino. the sheriff s department believed that was an attempt on her life, but we had nothing to really support that. but if tim evans was to get a conviction, he needed more. more evidence. some concrete proof that dawn had pulled that trigger. you can bet dawn wasn t about to tell them anything.
