On October 9th, 2012, 19-year-old Kara Nichols spoke to her brother for the last time. Her phone went silent. She walked out the door and never came back. For ten years her family had no answers. No body. No explanation. Almost immediately one name kept coming up in the investigation. Joel Hollendorfer. The last calls on Kara's phone were all to him. Cell data placed her on the road to his parents' property the night she vanished. In 2014 investigators arrived with cadaver dogs. They found nothing. The case went cold. Then in 2022 Joel's ex-girlfriend called the sheriff's department. She told them Joel had confessed to her years earlier. This time investigators didn't leave empty-handed. They found Kara Nichols buried one meter underground in a horse grave on his parents' farm. Ten years after she disappeared. Watch what happens when detectives sit Joel down knowing everything his ex told them — and watch the moment he realizes the secret he kept for a decade just collapsed around him. #coldcase #interrogation #interrogationpsychology
