Best Friend Killer: Angeles National Forest

In October 1985, 17-year-old Missy Avila left her home in California's San Fernando Valley to spend the afternoon with friends and never came home. Three days later, two hikers made a horrifying discovery in Angeles National Forest. As Missy's family desperately searched for answers, the people closest to them offered comfort and promised to help find her killer. However, the truth about what happened to Missy was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.
