BURIED BENEATH THE LEAVES

In this chilling first episode of Dark Luck, officers stumble upon an abandoned car deep in a quiet forest. What seems like an ordinary missing persons case quickly spirals into the discovery of forty-four-year-old Lauren Mitchell, setting off a decades-long trail of domestic crimes, dozens of victims, and a predator who has eluded justice for nearly twenty years.

Through reconstructed dialogue, suspenseful storytelling, and careful investigation, we bring you closer to the tension and fear experienced by the investigators — and uncover the hidden truths lurking just out of sight.
