Chronicle Mysteries: Recovered (2019)

Ex-business consultant Alex McPherson, seeking solace and purpose after the loss of her ailing mother, embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries of the forgotten. From this quest, a compelling podcast named 'Recovered' is born, a beacon of hope for a grieving friend, as this digital platform illuminates the story of her missing daughter. After successfully breathing life into one cold case, Alex turns her attention to a mystery that hits closer to home – the enigmatic disappearance of her childhood friend, Gina DeSavio, in their quaint hometown of Harrington, Pennsylvania. Twenty years ago, Gina vanished without a trace after her usual shift at the Harrington Country Club. Her car, marred and abandoned on a boulder, and her blood smeared on the windshield, were the only remnants of her existence. The official verdict was a tragic accident, with Gina assumed to have plummeted into the raging river below. However, Alex, with her innate intuition and personal connection to the case, suspects that Gina's fate might not be so clear-cut. In her pursuit of truth, Alex finds herself at the heart of local journalism – the Harrington Chronicle. The newspaper's stern managing editor, Miles Lewiston, offers her unrestricted access to their archives in exchange for exclusive rights to her riveting podcast. With jobs hanging by a thread and the potential closure of the newspaper looming, the staff willingly assists Alex, hoping to resurrect their relevance. Drew Godfrey, the Chronicle's editor-in-chief and a former crime reporter, becomes an unexpected ally in Alex's journey. Despite their contrasting perspectives on which leads to pursue, they form a dynamic duo, navigating a labyrinth of secrets and danger. In their crosshairs is Courtney Jeffers, Gina's former co-worker at the country club, now a respected accountant and lawyer, who may hold the key to unlocking the truth. As Alex delves deeper into the past, she discovers not only the shocking circumstances surrounding Gina's disappearance but also exposes a decades-old murder and its carefully orchestrated cover-up. The quaint town of Harrington, with its seemingly serene façade, is far more complex than it appears, and in its heart lies a secret that could shake its very foundation.
