Rayna Rison

16-year-old Rayna Rison was a devoted animal lover who dreamed of one day becoming a veterinarian. On March 26 1993, she arranged to meet her ex-boyfriend Matt Elser at the animal hospital where she worked part-time in the small Northern Indiana city of LaPorte. But when Matt arrived to pick Rayna up, the lights were off in the building and she was nowhere to be seen. 

After Rayna was reported missing, police found her car abandoned on the side of the road nine miles from the animal shelter. The hood was up, but the keys were in the ignition and the engine started with ease, indicating someone had staged the vehicle. As police followed a string of clues, the trail led them somewhere completely unexpected.
