***LIVE*** TENA MASHELL PREAST -The Stranger at the Door

On August 4, 1991, 19-year-old Tena Mashell Preast stepped out of her Lawton, Oklahoma home to speak with a mysterious visitor. She didn't take her purse, her keys, or even her shoes. In just 20 minutes, the vibrant young woman with a "heart of gold" vanished without a trace, leaving a family to spend the next 34 years fighting for the truth.In this deeply emotional episode of Locating the Lost, we sit down with Laurie McCauley, Tena’s cousin and the sister-figure who raised her. Laurie shares the raw, unfiltered reality of a family left behind by a system that often overlooked Tena. We explore the investigative hurdles, the missed opportunities, and the theories that continue to haunt those who loved her.We’re diving into the theories and the chilling details:The Cellar Secret: Why was a dirt-packed cellar on the property suddenly filled in shortly after Tena disappeared?The Restraining Order: Within a year before she vanished, Tena had taken legal steps to protect herself from an ex-boyfriend.The "Man at the Door": Was the mysterious visitor a stranger, or someone Tena knew well enough to step outside without her belongings?The Lawton Serial Killer: Does Tena’s case link to the notorious Cache Road killings, or was her proximity to victim Barbara Berry just a tragic coincidence?Tattoos of Identity: We discuss the importance of her unique tattoos—the word "Cameel" and a yellow smiley face with a red bullet hole saying "Have a nice day"—as potential keys to finding her today.📢 WE NEED YOUR VOICES:Silence is the only thing keeping this case cold.
