This year for Women's History Month, Amanda and Lauren are going to go on a journey through some tragic deaths of young women, and their lives that were cut too short. Because they were wanted too.
It's a long one, folks! For the third week of Women's History Month, Amanda and Lauren head to Aruba to discuss the disappearance of brand new high school graduate Natalee Holloway, the winding road to a Dutch national taking responsibility for her disappearance and murder, and missing white woman syndrome.
