In season 3 episode 5 of People Magazine Investigates titled "Mystery in the Swamp," the show delves into a case that has left investigators puzzled for years. The case revolves around the disappearance of a 37-year-old mother named Crystal Rogers in Bardstown, Kentucky in 2015. Crystal was last seen on July 3, 2015. Her car was found abandoned on the side of the Bluegrass Parkway with her keys, phone, and purse still inside.
The investigation into Crystal's disappearance led to the discovery of other unsolved crimes in Bardstown, including the murders of two other people. The show takes a deep dive into the case, talking to Crystal's family and friends, as well as law enforcement officials working on the case.
The episode explores the theory that Crystal's disappearance and the two murders could be connected, possibly the work of a serial killer. The show interviews experts to discuss the possibility of a serial killer operating in Bardstown and the challenges that come with solving a case that could have multiple perpetrators and motives.
Another theory explored in "Mystery in the Swamp" is that Crystal's boyfriend, Brooks Houck, might have been involved in her disappearance. Brooks was the last person to see Crystal alive and has been named a suspect in the case, but has never been arrested or charged.

As the investigation continues, the show reveals new developments in the case, including the discovery of human remains in a barn that could be connected to the crimes. The episode also highlights the efforts of Crystal's family and friends to keep her story alive and bring her killer to justice.
Overall, "Mystery in the Swamp" is a gripping episode of People Magazine Investigates that explores the complexities of unsolved crimes and the impact they have on the families and communities left behind.
