Ep 1. Vanishing On I-95

In season 6 episode 1 of Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall, titled "Vanishing on I-95," the show explores the mysterious disappearance of two young women who vanished without a trace while driving on Interstate 95 in North Carolina.

While on their way to celebrate a birthday party, college students Heather Hearon and Randi Trimble vanished somewhere between Fayetteville and Lumberton, North Carolina. They were last seen at a gas station off of I-95, and their car was discovered abandoned on the side of the road with no sign of the pair.

Tamron Hall and her team investigate the case and speak with friends, family members, and law enforcement officials who were involved in the investigation to try and piece together what happened. Hall also examines the broader issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women in America and how it has been poorly addressed by law enforcement and the media.

As the investigation progresses, the show uncovers a number of troubling details about the pair's disappearance, including the fact that both women had faced violence in their past. They also uncover a possible connection to other missing women along the I-95 corridor.

Throughout the episode, Hall highlights the importance of community activism in bringing attention to cases like these and applying pressure on law enforcement to take action. She also examines the role played by media in covering these cases and how a lack of coverage has contributed to the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

In the end, while the case remains unsolved, Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall offers a compelling look into the lives of two women who vanished without a trace and the ongoing efforts to bring attention to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
