This is Peggy McGuire — a devoted mother, a newly licensed nurse, and someone who loved her son above all else. On the morning of November 16, 2015, she kissed him goodbye, dropped him off at school, and returned home. Hours later, she was gone. Her truck was found abandoned miles away at a rural bar, and security footage captured someone walking away in the pre-dawn darkness.
