Gone is a different take on true crime murder and disappearance mysteries: by the end of the show we are left with a closed case.

Kelly Siegler is a retired Texas prosecutor who dedicates her time to help solve cold cases. For three straight seasons, she has helped evaluate over 50 cases, with more coming in season 4.
