33:41Now PlayingAn 11-year-old cheerleader travels to Las Vegas for what should have been a weekend of bright lights, big routines, and hard-earned dreams — and never makes it to the competition floor. Hours after being reported missing, Addi Smith and her mother, Tawnia McGeehan, are found dead inside their hotel room. But how did a years-long custody battle, allegations of parental conflict, recent family loss, mounting pressure inside the cheer world, and whispers of mental health struggles converge into something so unthinkable? In this episode, we carefully walk through the confirmed timeline, the court history, the warning signs — and the difficult psychological questions that linger. Because behind the headlines is a young athlete who showed up to compete… and a story that forces us to ask: how did we get here?
