In 1987, 16-year-old Theresa Bier vanished from the remote forests of central California, leaving behind a mystery that festered for decades. For the locals, the explanation was simple, if unbelievable: Bigfoot took her. But the truth is almost certainly more terrestrial and far more sinister. Now, investigator Jessica Chobot and LAPD veteran Robert Collier reopen the case, determined to separate folklore from fact.
The series premiere plunges into one of the strangest missing person cases in modern history. Chobot and Collier must contend with a community convinced of a mythological culprit while they search for concrete evidence. They believe the Bigfoot theory has served as a convenient cover for a human predator for over thirty years. What really happened to Theresa in those woods, and can they uncover the truth that has been buried under layers of local legend?
Bigfoot Took Her airs Wednesday October 29, at 8/7c on Discovery.
