In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In April 2000, 22-year-old Michelle “Sparkle” Rai was found deceased inside her Union City, Georgia apartment. There were no signs of forced entry, and nothing appeared to have been taken. What initially raised questions would, years later, lead investigators in a very different direction. Testimony and evidence presented in court pointed to a series of connections and decisions that began long before that day. More than two decades later, the case has moved through the courts, but the circumstances surrounding Sparkle’s death continue to leave difficult questions.
