How does a family of four suddenly go missing? In today’s episode of Killafornia Dreaming, which is the first of two parts, that’s exactly what seemingly happened to the McStay Family - Joseph, Summer, and their two sons 4 year old Gianni and 3 year old Joseph Jr - when they vanished from their California home in February of 2010. We discuss the flawed investigation and how law enforcement were misled for far too long, and how  the Investigation Discovery show disappeared played a role in the wrong conclusions being jumped to.

UPDATE:  On June 10, 2019, a San Bernardino County jury found Merritt guilty of murdering the McStay family. On June 24, the jury recommended that Merritt be sentenced to death. The court upheld the jury's recommendation, and Merritt was sentenced to death on January 21, 2020.
