Episode 57: The Missing Airman

In January of 2005, Air Force Staff Sergeant Michael Severance disappeared from his San Angelo home without a trace. Multiple law enforcement agencies and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations teamed up to investigate the case. While his disappearance was initially thought to be a case of desertion, it takes a sharp turn to homicide once his body was recovered.
