Terrifying & True | Karlie Lain Gusé: The Unsolved Chalfant Valley Disappearance

Sixteen-year-old Karlie Lain Gusé vanished from California’s Chalfant Valley on October 13, 2018, leaving her phone behind and a trail that ended beside Highway 6.

The previous evening, Karlie attended a gathering and called her stepmother for help while frightened and disoriented. Her family brought her home and stayed with her through the night. By morning, the front door was open and Karlie was gone. Multiple witnesses later reported seeing a girl matching her description walking south near Sierra View Road and Highway 6.

Terrifying & True reconstructs Karlie’s final confirmed hours, the searches across desert and mountain terrain, and the involvement of the Mono County Sheriff’s Office and FBI. It also examines how social-media attention generated rumors, alleged sightings, and accusations that often outran the verified evidence. The episode treats theories as theories and does not assign blame where investigators have not established it.

The FBI continues to list Karlie as missing and offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to her location. Her phone and personal belongings were left at home, and she has not contacted family or friends since the morning she disappeared.
