Dr. Phil continues his investigation into the baffling disappearance of 16-year-old Karlie Gusé, who vanished without a trace from her father Zac and stepmother Melissa’s home in the early morning hours of October 13, 2018.

Despite years of searching and media coverage, no solid leads have surfaced. Zac and Melissa claim they’ve exhausted every avenue to find Karlie—but suspicions and unanswered questions still linger. Today, Dr. Phil welcomes Karlie’s biological mother, Lindsay, to the show. Lindsay says she has her own theories about what happened and believes the truth has yet to come to light. With a heavy heart, she admits she feels her daughter may no longer be alive but remains determined to uncover the truth and bring Karlie home. Dr. Phil also revisits the final known audio recording of Karlie from the night she disappeared. Will Zac and Melissa allow it to be shared publicly?
