😱 A former crime scene technician calmly answers questions about her missing best friend. She has no idea that, at this exact moment, investigators are digging on her family's farm. 😱
On September 8, 2017, 33-year-old private investigator and former police officer Taylor Wright spent the day with her close friend, Ashley McArthur.
It was the last day anyone saw her alive.
That night, text messages from Taylor's phone said she needed "a few days" to herself. The next morning, a security camera recorded Ashley buying concrete and potting soil.
For six weeks, Ashley helped detectives look for her friend. She called them, offered theories, and painted Taylor as a liar with a secret life.
Then the bank records came back. Then the cell phone records. And on October 19, 2017, minutes after Ashley walked out of the interview room, investigators found Taylor's remains under concrete on a farm owned by Ashley's family.
🔎 In this video:
• Ashley's September 18 interview as the "worried best friend"

• How cell phone towers placed her on the farm for hours
• The moment detectives tell her a search warrant is being executed "right now"
