Ben Smart and Olivia Hope disappeared in the early morning hours of January 1,1997 following a New Years Eve party. They were last seen boarding a large double masted boat with a stranger to all eye witnesses. In this episode we discuss the police investigation and the potential that the person charged with the crime may have been wrongfully convicted.
