One Lie, Two Graves: Pamela Butler

In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In February 2009, 47-year-old Pamela Butler vanished without a trace from her Washington, D.C., home—despite the high-tech security system meant to protect her. Investigators found no signs of forced entry, no struggle, no immediate answers.

But the deeper they dug, the more sinister the truth became. At the center of the mystery stood one man: José Angel Rodríguez-Cruz—her seemingly devoted boyfriend.

But Pamela wasn’t the first woman in his life to disappear. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
