Episode Description from the Publisher

When a 7-year-old girl vanishes while playing outside in a southside Tucson neighborhood, her disappearance is disturbingly similar to the abduction and murder of another child that occurred a year prior. Investigators are haunted by two unsolved cases they believe were likely committed by the same predator in this episode of Last Seen Alive. If you know anything about the disappearance of Karen Grajeda or the murder of Esther "Lisette" Galas, please contact the Tucson Police Department at 520-882-7463. The department welcomes tips given in Spanish as well as English, and you remain anonymous if you wish.
