The NAMUS-45: Carla Vicentini
When a Brazilian woman taking part in an exchange program goes missing, language barriers, inconsistent stories, jurisdictional issues, and a notoriously violent city muddy the waters in her investigation.
This episode was written and researched by Shana Wilensky.
With production, editing, and additional research by Josh Hallmark.
