Description:

On a quiet spring day in 1999, in the small town of Mena, Arkansas, 12-year-old Andi Brewer vanished. What began as a stay at her grandfather’s house cruelly turned into a nightmare that shook a community, devastated a family, and changed the way many people saw children’s safety and security forever.

Join us today for The Day Andi Disappeared. This is the story of a precious girl whose life was stolen far too soon and of her mother, who somehow turned her unimaginable grief into a force for justice. In today’s episode, we will go through the timeline of Andi’s disappearance, the chilling confession of her abductor, and the heartbreak and resilience she left behind for those who knew her.
