Before Helle Crafts disappeared, she told four different people the exact same thing: "If anything happens to me, do not believe it is an accident." On November 18th, 1986, the 39-year-old Pan Am flight attendant and mother of three walked into her Newtown, Connecticut home... and was never seen again. Her husband Richard told police she'd gone to Denmark for a family emergency. Then he said she'd run off with another man. Morgan, Kaelyn, and special guest Annie Elise of 10 to Life trace all 10 clues... from the chest freezer Richard bought five days before Helle vanished, to the 2,660 strands of blonde hair found in a pile of wood chips, to the tooth fragment that made this the first no-body murder conviction in Connecticut history.
