Man I could not fit that description into the thread title at all...wow...
Anyway, so this is something that stuck with me for a while and I wanted to try and find the episode, if not the actual episode then at least a title for it.
I'm literally certain this was in the 2010s and, most likely, no more than a year ago. Two years at most. I saw it on the OWN network, and it was either Dateline, 48 Hours or 20/20 and I thought for a while it was Dateline, like I was virtually certain, because I was virtually certain the narrator was a guy named Keith Morrison who works for Dateline. But now after talking to someone about it, I may have been mistaken, but something tells me it was either Dateline 20/20. What I am literally certain about was that it was either on OWN or ID Discovery because that's where true crime stuff is omnipresent, and if I had to bet money I would say OWN.
The episode focused on a woman, I believe a young woman, who vanished suddenly and in a shocking almost "flash" kind of way.
I don't recall the precise aspects of why or how, that's why I wanted to find the episode possibly online so I could watch it with my girlfriendd.
What I do remember fairly vividly was that at the end of the episode, the host said no body knew what happened to this woman or where she was, and he says something to the effect of "one day she got into her car and vanished into thin air, never to be seen again".
To further elucidate, this woman was never found dead, at least at the time the episode was made, and the episode was likely older from possibly 2016 to 2019, it wasn't a new episode. From what I gather neither her body nor her car were ever found. The quote, I can't be precise, but he said explicitly that she "drove away and vanished/was never seen again" and it showed what appeared to be a forest transposed over a car driving down a highway or a road. Things may have changed since then but at that time, no body had been found and her car was also never found, from the way they described it. The only reason I said Dateline was because the narrator sounded like Keith Morris, or maybe Lester Holt. Like I said it may have just as easily have been 20/20 or 48 Hours, but from what I know all three of those shows are on OWN.

The part that struck me was the ending. Again, the precise text I can't recall but it was something like, "one day (one summer day?) she got in her car/drove away in her car and disappeared forever" or something to that effect. During this it shows a forest I believe transposed on the image of a car that was driving away, and there was no body or car ever found.
I already looked through some possible leads. Maura Murray was the one that seemed likely, until they said there was a car crash and I'm almost certain no car was ever found. Janet March sounds really, really similar and later her husband did confess and was convicted of her murder but, typically, when more new info like that comes up the show--all three, I believe--mention it at the end. Jennifer Kesse sounds very, very, very similar but evidence about her on any of the shows is sketchy. Again if I you held a gun to my head and made me choose, I'd say it was 20/20 or Dateline because their endings involve an announcer/narrator further expanding on the events and again possibly adding new info if it has come in prior to the show airing and since I'm virtually certain this show was not new, if some other new info had come in they would have said so. 48 Hours doesn't have that, and I'm almost sure this show did. It is possible it's Disappeared or Still A Mystery both of which I watch on ID Discovery, but Still A Mystery is far less likely because they always show two unsolved cases at a time and this seemed to focus on one, which would be more like Disappeared if that were the case.
Whew! Marathon post!
Anyway, I hope someone can maybe find this, for all I know it's Lost Media now for real. Which would be ironic since the idea of a show about a woman disappearing seemingly into thin air also seemingly disappearing into thin air is so "glitch in the Matrix" meta it's scary.
