In this segment of the video, it is revealed that Roy Melonson, who was connected to Michelle Wallace’s disappearance, had a history of being suspected in other disappearance cases as well. Michelle’s mother, Marge Wallace, fell into severe depression after her daughter went missing and ultimately committed suicide. The investigation into Michelle’s disappearance hit a standstill until significant evidence was found years later: a hiker discovered what seemed to be human hair along a remote path. Homicide investigator Casey Ireland’s discovery of overlooked evidence, specifically a comb with Michelle’s name on it, led to a breakthrough in the case. Forensic analysis of the hair samples from the comb and the hair found in the mountains linked the two, providing a crucial lead in the investigation.

In this segment of the video, the detectives sought further evidence to solve a case involving a body found in the wild. They enlisted the help of a specialized group of scientists known as the Body Farm investigators. Plant ecologist Vicky Traml analyzed plant samples in the hair to determine the body’s location history, ruling out burial due to lack of soil but suggesting sun exposure. The presence of specific tree bark and pine needles led them to deduce the body was likely on the north slope of a mountain range. A search team located a skull with a gold tooth, a detail consistent with the missing person, Michelle. The challenge now is to determine if Michelle’s death was due to a violent act.
