Episode 334 - Sneaking Out - The Murders of Lyric Woods and Devin Clark

In Orange County, North Carolina, 14 year old Lyric Woods disappeared after slipping out of her home in the middle of the night. In a neighboring county, 18 year old Devin Clark vanished that same weekend. At first, there seemed to be no connection between them. But a discovery along a secluded country road would reveal that their paths had crossed and leave investigators trying to understand what happened in the darkness that night.
