[MUSIC]
Such an ordinary thing, on an ordinary day, to walk home from high school.
“>> I thought that everything was fine, everything was normal.”
>> My name was Mickey Costanzo, just 16. She didn't have far to go, seemed perfectly safe until it wasn't. [MUSIC]
>> In the bottom of my heart, I knew something was really, really wrong.
We didn't know whether she'd met with foul play or if she was being held somewhere. >> What happened to Mickey? >> It didn't make sense.
“>> Came out of the blue, I was blindsided.”
>> Not a day that goes by that I don't think about what happened.
>> Who happened to Mickey? >> This is not over yet, until the person or person responsible had brought to justice. Our latest podcast takes us to West Wind over Nevada, a tiny casino town tucked away on the desert. >> Nothing happens in wind over, and something did. >> Unlikely victim, unlikely suspects.
>> I had gotten a tag saying that he had had her, and I said, I know where she's at, let's go. >> But you think when you get that call, that's not the worst. >> As soon as he actually confessed to doing it, then it knew she had something to do with it. >> It's a story of jealousy, rage, and deceit. >> The hatred of a girl more and more, it just escalated.
>> It's something that got out of hand that went very, very well, just went haywire, disturbing, it'd be the word. >> Confessions, cover ups, and lies. >> No one would have ever seen this coming, just isn't possible.
“>> I still wonder to this day, why, what even really happened?”
