Remembering Pravin
Every year, on Pravin's death anniversary, his family holds an annual memorial in Carbondale, at the exact location where Pravin took his last breath. It's not an easy spot to get to, especially in the winter time with the tough terrain, but Lovely and her family make the 6-hour drive every February to gather in Pravin's memory and say a prayer for him. Music in this episode provided by Artlist:
The Retrial
By the time Judge Mark Clarke overturned the jury's guilty verdict and let Gaege walk free, it had already been four and a half years since Pravin's passing – and yet, Pravin's family was back at square one having to try this case all over again. And there was still no justice. Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Suraj Nepal - Mithila Vibes Unbearable Heavies Idolizing Love sero - Air Idan
Judge Mark Clarke
Lovely was quoted as saying, " I wanted the world to know that my son was not a drug-dealer, he was not drunk. He died because he was hit. I did not want Gaege to be put behind bars for his life. But yes, I wanted him to know that there are consequences to your actions and I want the law to hold him accountable." Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Roie Shpigler - Phantom Pain Break of Real
Sentencing
After firing Wepsiec, Gaege needed to hire a new attorney. This is where Steve Greenberg came into the picture – Grenberg is the same lawyer who represented R. Kelly when he was facing criminal charges.

The Verdict
Pravin's family stayed with Robinson when court was adjourned, from 4:00 pm onwards, waiting for the jury to reach a verdict. They were in the very same office where they had initially met David Robinson for the first time. Then, at almost 11:00 pm, a police guard came in and told Robinson that it was time to head back to court. The jury deliberated for seven hours, and had finally reached a verd
Gaege Bethune's Testimony
Pravin's family only learned of Gaege in the first place, because of Monica. The police never even shared Gaege's name with Lovely while Pravin was missing, or during the investigation. And now, more than three years later, Lovely finally got the opportunity to witness Gaege being held accountable for his crimes.

The Trial - Part 2
The trial started – but so did the games the defense was playing. From trying to request a motion for mistrial on a regular basis, to demanding that photos of Pravin not be allowed in the courtroom, it was clear the defense was not interested in a fair and just trial. Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Suraj Nepal - The Essence of Sound (feat. Rohit Manandhar) Simon Berggren - Ephemeralda
The Trial - Part 1
The day finally came that Lovely and Monica had been working towards for years. David Robinson called and said Gaege was being charged with Pravin's murder.

David & Goliath
After struggling for multiple years, Lovely and Monica were finally able to trust someone in the legal system – someone with authority who could not only clear Pravin's name of all the lies that were being fabricated about him, but also get justice for Pravin's murder. Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Brianna Tam - Growth Yuval Vilner - Capricho Arabe Dear Gravity - Pacing Episode writte
A Mother's Fight For Justice
Monica's local connections and her voice on her radio show coupled with Lovely's tenacity and community support was a recipe for success. The two of them were on a mission to get justice, and nothing was going to stop them.

Pravin Didn't Know He Was Going To Die That Night
Armed with all the evidence and knowledge that Lovely and Monica had gathered, they set out to prove what they knew to be true, and to get justice for Pravin's murder. Without the help of the Carbondale Police, or the State's Attorney, or anyone else who had the power to investigate and press charges in this case – Lovely and Monica knew they had to take care of it themselves. Music in this e
Ashly Retraces Pravin's Steps At The Crime Scene
With so many pieces of evidence pointing to the exact things their instincts were telling them, Pravin's family and Monica knew there was so much more to the story than they were being told. And if they wanted to get to the truth, they'd have to find it for themselves. That's exactly What they set out to do.

Gaege's Changing Stories
We know the audio from Jonathan's interview was difficult to hear last week because of the poor audio quality, so we are sharing the police interview transcript on our Facebook page for anyone who wants to read it in its entirety. in this weeks episode we hear Gaeges second Police interview and he changed many details from what he had originally said, even admitting to his lies at one point. Musi
Jonathan's Police Interview
On Feb 17th, 2014 Jonathan was interviewed by the police. That was before Gaege was ever brought in for questioning. Even though they drove to the party together, both Gaege and his cousin Jonathan asserted that Jonathan did not leave the party with Gaege that night. The audio of the police interview is extremely poor and we did our best to make it intelligable so you can hear Jonathan's words. We
The Evidence
It's hard to fathom that Pravin could have been left where he was, and in the condition that he was, by one person alone. That's one of the reasons Monica thinks Gaege wasn't alone when he attacked Pravin and left him on the side of Illinois Route 13. But there is a lot more to it than that. Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Yotam Haimovitch - Magic Spices Yotam Haimovitch - The Morning G
Murder On Route 13
There were two versions of events for the night Pravin went missing – one that Gaege was telling the police, and the other that Pravin's autopsy and phone records were revealing. And then, of course, there were the accounts of the evening from Pravin's friends who were with him at the party. All these pieces put together tell the story of what actually occurred. Music in this episode provided by A
Act Now, Mourn Your Brother Later
The Carbondale Police Chief, Jody O'Guinn, told reporters at a February 18th press conference that Pravin likely had trouble finding his way out of the woods because of the "difficult terrain and low temperatures." The story the police officers told Lovely and her family about the day Pravin went missing was not accurate. Far from it, actually. Music in this episode provided by Artlist: Noises by
The Autopsies
On the night of the vigil, Priya had heard that a tip had come in. So her and Ashly went to the police station to find out what the news was. With such little information coming forward up until this point, the family was hopeful to finally start getting some answers.

Reality Check
Pravin's body was found approximately 400 yards from Lovely's hotel room. In the same area that she had been mentioning to her family while the search was going on – even saying things such as, 'what if he is right there?'. Her intuition was right – she had somehow known all along. Music in this episode provided by Artlist:Yotam Haimovitch - Whole Moon One Man Bend - 23 Drops Michael FK - Yearnin

In this episode you will hear from Pravin's mother Lovely, his sister Priya, his cousin Ashly, and friend Kyle as they recount the events leading up to an answer to Pravin's whereabouts.

Where Is Pravin?
Pravin was nowhere to be found. Only leaving behind a few clues – a cryptic tweet that got everyone's attention. And a sinister phone call to his friend Anita. So what happened that night after Pravin left the party? Or did something go wrong at the party? Did he, in fact, get in a fight with someone? Was he at the wrong place at the wrong time? Or did someone intentionally target Pravin? ----
