About this episode
In 1997, a beautiful 18-year-old woman from Kyrgyzstan joined a matchmaking service to meet an American man. Shortly after that, a man almost twice her age inquired and promised her a perfect life in the US. But after financial distress, abuse, and manipulation occurred, the young woman disappeared. Then, someone came forward claiming to know exactly what happened. This is the story of Anastasia Solovieva King.
