S7:E9: The Senseless Murder of Shania Gray (16) "Lured by Evil"

October 26, 2025 • Season 7 • Episode 9

⚠️This episode contains descriptions of sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised. ⚠️

Carrollton, Texas– When 16-year-old Shania Gray went missing, her family and the community hoped for her safe return. Instead, they uncovered a chilling betrayal that exposed deep cracks in the justice system — a system that allowed a predator to walk free despite a pending sexual assault charge.

In Season 7: Episode 9 we delve deep inside the twisted manipulation of Franklin Davis — the man who preyed on a young girl's innocence, and exploited trust, and silenced Shania forever, a teen with a bright future ahead.

For the first time ever- you will hear a predator speak in an exclusive jailhouse interview.

Rest in Peace Shania Gray and our sincerest condolences to her family, friends, and community. 🕊️🙏
