16: Ashes of Betrayal & a Vagabond Criminal
<p>This week, Kailee opens with the real-life story of Holley Lynn James, a young Army nurse whose sudden disappearance in 2008 sent shockwaves through her community.

Kailee traces the emotional and investigative journey that followed, highlighting both Holley’s dedication to her work and the betrayal at the center of her case.</p><p>Michael then shifts gears with the almost unbelievable exploits of <strong>Victor Lustig</strong>, the infamous con artist best known for “selling” the Eiffel Tower.
