The Disappearance of Lynne Schulze

1971 - Middlebury, Vermont. For 18-year-old Lynne Schulze, 1971 was an exciting time. She was coming-of-age during a time of great change in America, and left her hometown in Connecticut to go to a quaint New England liberal arts school, Middlebury College. But three months after her freedom as a young adult began, something went wrong. Lynne missed an important exam; one she'd been studying for. That same day, she was spotted near a bus station in town, but had left all of her belongings in her dorm. At the time, it was easy to cast missing young people as counter-culture runaways; moving off the grid in the nearby mountains. But Lynne was responsible, and her family insisted she wouldn't just leave without telling them... but she just vanished, leaving behind little for police to go on... within months, Lynne's case sadly went cold. Until 2015, when an infamous millionaire named Robert Durst is arrested for murder, and this 44-year-old, small-town missing person case is thrust into the national spotlight. Is Robert Durst the key to solving this mystery?
