Evelyn Hernandez was a young mother balancing work, dreams, and the imminent arrival of her second child. But on a spring day in 2002, Evelyn and her five-year-old son, Alex, disappeared from their San Francisco neighborhood without a trace. Months later, a grim discovery in the San Francisco Bay provided a chilling piece of the puzzle.

As investigators delved into Evelyn's life, questions swirled. Could her boyfriend, the alleged father of her unborn baby, hold the answers? Or was Evelyn's disappearance the work of someone else entirely? Despite eerie parallels to another infamous case that same year, Evelyn's story received far less attention.

Join me as we uncover the heartbreaking details of a case that raises haunting questions and demands justice for a mother and her children who deserved so much more.
