Patricia Douglas had been misled. She, like all the other girls and young women who\\u2019d answered MGM\\u2019s casting call, thought she\\u2019d been hired to dance in a movie. Instead, she was taken to a wild party, held in honor of MGM\\u2019s salesmen. Patricia did her best to avoid a creepy salesman named David Ross, but he followed her into the parking lot and attacked her.\\xa0

Then Brandi tells us about the disappearance of Annie Le. Annie had a lot going on. She was a busy doctoral student at Yale School of Medicine\\u2019s Department of Pharmacology. In a few days, she was set to marry the love of her life. But then she disappeared. Surveillance footage showed her entering a Yale building, but never leaving.\\xa0

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
