This episode recounts the tragic disappearance and murder of Bryce Brogal, a 23-year-old man who vanished after returning to Minnesota from a cross-country trip. Initially, the victim's girlfriend's father, Michael Llex, claimed to police that official-looking men had arrested the young man at a storage unit. However, investigators quickly dismantled this cover story by utilizing cell phone tracking data and uncovering the victim's discarded phones. The search eventually led to a clandestine grave in the woods, where authorities discovered the young man had been shot in the back of the head. Despite Llex’s claims that he killed the man to protect his daughter from perceived abuse, a jury found the act was a premeditated execution. Ultimately, the source details how the father was sentenced to life in prison for the cold-blooded murder.
