The Missing Candy Heiress
In 1977, Helen Brach vanished without a trace. Her disappearance has haunted Chicago for nearly five decades—a mystery entangled in greed, deception, and the underworld of the gang known as the horse mafia. Through never-before-heard tapes, exclusive interviews with Helen’s family, law enforcement, and reporters, and unsealed police files, The Missing Candy Heiress re-investigates what really happened to Helen—and what became of her $100 million fortune. This limited series blends investigative reporting with cinematic storytelling to unravel the power, secrets, and lies behind one of Chicago’s most enduring unsolved mysteries.
