In the quiet, close-knit community of Gorman, Maryland, life was simple until February 17th, 1988. On that day, 19-year-old Kathy Ford, a beloved local, answered a phone call that would change everything. She left her family’s restaurant and was never seen again. Her sudden disappearance plunged the town into a frantic search, with her heartbroken parents leading the charge. As the investigation unfolded, suspicion soon fell on Paul Frell, a trusted local deputy sheriff with whom Kathy had a secret affair. When Kathy's burnt car was found just 100 yards from Paul's trailer, and disturbing evidence like bloodstains appeared in his home, the community struggled to reconcile their image of Paul with the growing evidence against him. The subsequent trial gripped the nation, challenging the justice system with a case built entirely on circumstantial evidence. With no body and no direct proof of murder, Paul Frell was nonetheless convicted, leaving many to wonder if justice was truly served or if a different truth remained hidden. This documentary unpacks the compelling and controversial story of Kathy Ford's vanishing, the man accused of her murder, and the lasting impact on a small town forever changed.
