In 2019, Alexis Crawford was a bright and beautiful senior at Clark Atlanta University looking forward to graduation. Growing up in a family of ten, there was rarely a day that passed that Alexis didn't speak to her parents or one of her siblings. Which is why when her family couldn't get a hold of her on October 31, 2019, they wasted little time in reporting her missing. Alexis' family knew that something terrible must have happened to her and they feared the worst. But nothing they imagined could have prepared them for the truth and for who was behind Alexis' disappearance.
