Episode #130: Joey Lynn Offutt - Missing (2007)

Firefighters were called to a house fire in Jefferson County on July 12th, 2007. Walking into a fire, one of the top responsibilities of a firefighter is life safety. Unfortunately for these particular firefighters, they had just walked into a nightmare. During their search they found an infant deceased in the house. If that wasn’t bad enough, they couldn’t find the mother Joey Lynn Offutt. She wasn’t in the house, so where could she have been? The week leading up to this fire there were red flags left and right. Why did Joey’s family and community not push for answers that week? Could there have been a different outcome? It has been almost 17 years and authorities are no closer in finding out what happened the awful morning of July 12th, 2007, or where Joey is.
