One night. One missing clerk. One story that still echoes through two states.

In December 1978, twenty-year-old Debra Gunter vanished from the Li’l General store where she worked the overnight shift in Gautier, Mississippi. Days later, her body was discovered miles away in rural Alabama. In this season premiere, Sellers & Stormy revisit Debra’s final hours, uncovering long-buried details and connecting with investigator Lt. Darren Versiga, whose renewed look at the case may finally shed light on what happened that night. This is more than a mystery—it’s the story of a young woman who deserves to be remembered.
