About 140 km northeast of Hamilton is a small body of water name "mud lake," which is immediately encircled by swampy land, a rarely travelled road, and minimal residents. This area is surrounded by folklore, a place where people can disappear without a trace, lost to annals of time. But folklore and reality can sometimes bear no commonality. This is episode 33 of True Crime Real-Time, Mud Lake, an update to Monica Chisar's story.

Monica was a 29-year-old woman who was living in Hamilton. In the early morning of Wednesday, July 11, 2018, she vanished without a trace. We covered her missing person's case in a two-part series in December 2019. Some developments have happened since then. Today's episode is an update to her disappearance.
