Track 65: Ayesha Turner
Summary: Ayesha Turner was a young mother of two—a 5-year-old and 12-year-old. Ayesha had graduated Everest College as a medical assistant and was starting to get her life in order. But on the evening of October 5, 2012, Ayesha would leave the home she shared with her mother and kids and never return. Ayesha’s mother stated that this was out of character for her daughter and reported her missing immediately. The weeks that followed would bring forth a series of third-party statements sending detectives in a frenzy to find out what happened to Ayesha and why. Will they be able to crack the case before the Thanksgiving holiday?
