According to Fargo police, investigators believe she was murdered, and they have publicly identified her boyfriend, Joshua Hite, as the person responsible. But there is one heartbreaking reality that makes this case even more devastating, Isadora’s body has never been found.\n\nIn this episode, I walk through what has been publicly reported so far: the timeline of her disappearance, the statements from law enforcement, and the details that led investigators to make their accusations. We’ll also talk about what it means when a case moves forward without a body, how prosecutors build cases, how families endure unimaginable uncertainty, and how communities respond when answers feel just out of reach.\n\nMost importantly, we remember Isadora - not as a headline, not as a theory - but as a person whose absence leaves a space that can’t be filled.\n\nBecause behind every investigation is a family waiting… and a story that deserves to be told.\n\n* Listener discretion is advised."}
