A sister’s relentless pursuit of justice.
When Jamie Grissim vanished in 1971, she left behind a younger sister—Starr. Just 14-years-old at the time, Starr didn’t just lose a sibling; she lost her anchor, her sense of safety, and the innocence of childhood.
In Episode 7, we meet the woman Starr became: a fiercely determined advocate, a self-taught investigator, and a sister who refused to let Jamie be forgotten. Hardened by a world that saw her and her sister raised in a series of foster homes, Starr took it upon herself to keep asking the questions no one wanted to answer.
This episode chronicles Starr’s decades-long journey to piece together what happened to Jamie. Through boxes of police reports, faded photographs, court documents, and haunting interviews, we witness her transformation from victim to voice.
As law enforcement dropped the case, Starr picked it up. When leads went cold, she turned up the heat. And when Warren Forrest’s name surfaced—again and again—she made it her mission to bring him to justice.
Told through Starr’s own words, this is a story about persistence, trauma, and the extraordinary bond of sisterhood. It’s also a case study in what happens when families are forced to do the work that institutions won’t.
Starr’s investigation didn’t just give Jamie back her name—it gave an entire region a reason to reexamine its past.
In the absence of justice, she became the engine that powered it forward.
