Episode 429: The Murder of Prue Bird
Prue Bird was just 13 years old when she disappeared from her home in February 1992, and to this day, she has never been found. Two decades later, a convicted killer made a confession, but Prue’s family believes there is more to the story and others were involved - including some known criminals who were associated with Prue’s grandmother and through that, Prue herself. In fact, one of these criminals allegedly threatened Prue due to her grandmother’s husband testifying against him in another case. While a conviction has been made in the case, Prue’s mother has said this case cannot be closed until she is found.
