The family of 55-year-old Mark Trent became concerned after Trent stopped communicating with them, so they decided to go to his Muncie, Indiana, home to see what they could find. Arriving at his home, relatives found his home abandoned, his dogs were left behind, his wallet was in the house, and his pickup truck was missing. Since it is not illegal for a grown man to cut off communication with family and leave, investigators were suspicious enough to look into his sudden disappearance. Investigators quickly discover Mark Trent's debit card is being used across multiple states, but none of the cameras get a good picture of the person taking money out of the account. The case quickly goes cold. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack explore the disappearance of Mark Trent and break down the investigation that ultimately led investigators to his body and the person charged with using a "tent stake" to murder Mark Trent.
