Leah Hickman had a bright future, cut short by the hands of an assailant never found to this day.

When she went missing, the entire community rallied to find her. When she was found dead, her workplace honored her and paid for the funeral.

The 21-year-old was a journalism student at Marshall University in Huntington, dreaming of a TV news career.

In tonight's episode, Julia and Harper retell the story of her dream - deferred by murder.
