This season of Valley of Shadows is hosted by journalists Haley Fox and Betsy Shepard, and it explores the unsolved disappearance of a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy, John Adjaye, and the stench of corruption that's followed the case for nearly 30 years.

Through exclusive interviews, revealing wiretaps, and buried police files, Haley and Betsy enter into the criminal underworld of outlaw biker gangs, meth production, and crooked cops in Southern California's Mojave Desert, exploring one of the state's most mysterious missing persons cases.

In this preview episode, we hear how Ajay, an ultra marathon runner and survivalist, went for a run one day in a national park called the Devil's Punchbowl.

He never returned.

His body has yet to be found.

And the people closest to him insist that the ruling of his disappearance as a suicide just doesn't add up.

Okay, we hope you enjoy this episode.

Yeah, in one piece.

None of that made sense to me with the suicide.

Plain and simple.

I think he killed himself.

That's the only way I can explain it.
