After graduating from Southwestern University, Bethany and Tyler Deaton moved with a group of friends to Kansas City, Missouri, to join The International House of Prayer, a Christian missions organization.
In 2010, Bethany Deaton went back to school and earned her nursing degree. According to mom Carol, Bethany was "the nurturer and looked out for everybody else."
Detective Penny Cole and Colonel Ben Kenney of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office have been working the case since Bethany's mysterious death in 2012.
