CIRCUMSTANCES OF DISAPPEARANCE
In January 2000, 18-year-old Zebb Quinn vanished without a trace after leaving work in Asheville, North Carolina. What started as a routine plan to look at a car for sale quickly spiraled into a baffling mystery—his car was later found abandoned with strange items inside, including a live puppy and a hotel keycard. Rumors swirled, suspects emerged, and one man’s story kept changing. For over two decades, Zebb’s case haunted his community—until a shocking twist reopened the investigation and revealed a far darker story than anyone expected.
