The Legacy of "El Aliso" & Missing Persons Cases with Happy Endings

Hannah Kobayashi #findhannah has been spotted crossing the border on foot into Mexico and new evidence suggests she may have been involved in a marriage for profit scam. We analyze the latest developments in the Hannah Kobayashi case and also explore previous missing persons cases where the individual was located and returned safely to their family. Will this happy ending happen for Hannah?

Also on the show, we tell you about a 400-year-old Los Angeles landmark that was destroyed in the 19th century and what it reveals about this area’s devastating legacy of colonialism and genocide.
