The astounding story of Lori Ann Slesinski dates back to June 2006. She resided at her home in Auburn, Alabama, with her pet dog Peanut. Her mother was Arlene Slesinski, a nurse by profession. Her father was Casey Slesinski, and her brother was Paul Slesinski.

She graduated from Auburn University in 2004. Along with her best friend Lindsay Braun, Lori used to work at a local mental health facility. She reportedly wanted to pursue higher studies and get a Master's degree in Psychology. Without a doubt, Lori had a promising future ahead of her.

Unfortunately, everything changed on June 10, 2006. On that day, 24-year-old Lori went missing and was never found again.

As reported by Lindsay Braun, she and Lori had plans for a girls' night on the day of her disappearance. Lori was supposed to come to Lindsay's home after picking up some drink mixes from a local Walmart store. However, she did not arrive at Braun's house that night.

Lori was last seen purchasing a few items from the Walmart store.

In her interview with CBS' 48 hours, Lindsay Braun said:

"We were going to have drinks at my house,...We were going to have Rum Runners, I believe, and watch a movie and just kind of hang out, do girl time. She called me around 6:30 and said, I'm going to stop by the store, pick up the drink mixes, and then I'll be headed to your house,...And then the phone rang about 30 minutes later. It rang once or twice. I answered, no one was there."

She also revealed that she had heard Derrill Ennis' voice in the background when she spoke to Lori on a call, denoting that Ennis was with Lori the day she vanished. Ennis was known to be Lori's friend. Thus, Lindsay did not suspect anything foul.

She further said in the interview:

"They were friends so I wasn't concerned."

However, after more than a decade, in 2016, Ennis was charged with the murder of Lori Ann and was arrested for the heinous crime.
