Introducing The Last Ride: Two young men of color vanished three months apart, on the same road in Naples, Florida, under eerily similar circumstances nearly 20 years ago. They were last seen with the same white sheriff's deputy. The since-fired deputy said he gave the men rides to Circle K stores, a story that could never be corroborated. He's the only person of interest but has never been charged. No one has.Listen to The Last Ride on NPR One or wherever else you get your podcasts
