Show Notes
She was smart, talented, beautiful—and just weeks away from graduation. Lauren McCluskey was a star track athlete at the University of Utah, beloved by everyone who knew her. But when she fell for a man who seemed too good to be true… it turned out he was.
He wasn’t who he said he was.
He was hiding a criminal past.
And when Lauren uncovered the truth and begged for help—
No one listened.
This is the horrifying story of a young woman who did everything right... and still wasn’t saved.
xoxo,
