from Murder Unscripted

In 2003, Patrick Dennehy, a rising star on Baylor University’s basketball team, vanished without a trace. Weeks later, everyone's worst fears were confirmed - Patrick had been murdered by his teammate, Carlton Dotson, in Waco, Texas. But the tragedy didn’t end there. As investigators worked to uncover the truth behind Patrick’s death, a massive scandal unraveled within Baylor’s basketball program. Disgraced head coach Dave Bliss attempted to cover up illegal financial benefits to players, even going so far as to falsely paint Patrick as a drug dealer to protect himself.
