In 1978, Mary Beth “Pixie” Grismore — a 26-year-old mother and former pageant star — vanished from her Indiana farmhouse, just hours before she was set to start a new life. Seventy-one days later, her body was found 180 miles away, strangled and abandoned in the trunk of her car at a motel in Ohio.
This is more than a cold case. It’s a haunting portrait of how women’s voices were ignored, how justice stalled, and how silence still protects the guilty.
In this immersive episode, we trace Pixie’s final days, examine the systemic failures that followed, and explore why her story still matters in the era of the Violence Against Women Act.
