Riley Powell and Breezy Otteson both had rough upbringings, as their families will tell you.
And that’s one suspected reason the two teenagers were attracted to each other — their lives were relatable.
Both Riley and Breezy were gearing up to spend their first New Years Eve together as a couple.
But just one day prior on December 30th, both teens went missing without a trace.
No social media activity. No phone calls. No nothing.
Then Riley’s Jeep turned up, and with it, a search warrant to scour a property for evidence of a homicide.
That property was the residence of Riley’s own mother.
At this point, investigators suspected that the mom’s boyfriend — who wasn’t cooperating with the investigation — may be involved.
But why?
And what eventually would lead to Riley’s and Breezy’s discovery in the west desert of Utah? How did the duo get there?
Here’s the 3-part series.
