When Jessica Renee Johnson's friends and family were told that she died by suicide, their worlds were shattered. Over the next few weeks and months, details came to light that that just didn't make sense: Jessica was found wearing clothes that no one recognized, she had strange new markings on her body, and the way in which she died was beyond unusual.

Fighting with authorities for a more thorough investigation, Jessica's family hired their own investigator, Dr. Godwin, whose investigation revealed entirely different findings.

We spoke directly with Linda, Jessica's mother, while preparing this episode and it is clear that she will never give up until she finds answers for daughter.
