Dale Smith Jr. convinces Michelle Parker to go on the TV show, People's Court, to settle the former couple's dispute over who is responsible for a lost engagement ring.  The judge rules in Smith's favor and orders Michelle to pay Smith $2,500, half of the value of the engagement ring. On the day the show airs in the Orlando, Florida market, Michelle Parker vanishes into thin air. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack examine the facts of the case to determine if it is possible to convict Dale Smith Jr. of her murder without the body of Michelle Parker.
