Doug Sager lived two lives — one inside his home in Mathias, West Virginia, and another behind the wheel of a truck that carried him across the East Coast. From Mississippi to New Jersey, his routes traced a silent pattern of violence and fear. In this episode, we follow the highways Doug once drove — the women who crossed his path, the ones who vanished, and the survivor still too afraid to speak. Along the way, we uncover forgotten truck stops, missing files, and the echoes of unsolved murders that stretch from one state line to the next.
