13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,320
We are on episode 92 this week.
14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,240
Do you want to just get right into it?
15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,420
Yeah, let's just get into it.
16
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:52,320
We are covering the unresolved missing person case of Abby Lynn Patterson.
17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,640
And this takes place in Lumberton, North Carolina, in September 2017.
18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400
But first, a little bit about Abby.
19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Abby is 20 years old in 2017.
20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,440
She had been living in Jacksonville, Florida for the last few years and was experiencing
21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,060
the world on her own for the first time.
22
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:14,320
Her family and friends describe Abby as a bubbly and funny person.
23
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,020
She sought to find the good in people and had an open mind.
24
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:21,360
Abby had experienced addiction already in her short life.
25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,360
But she was fighting to get her life back.
26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,400
Prior to her disappearance, she had successfully completed a drug rehab program in Florida
27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,680
and was excited to go home and visit her family.
28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,720
She was extremely close to her mom.
29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,280
They talked every day on the phone, sometimes twice a day.
30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,640
At this time in 2017, Abby has long brown hair.
31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,400
She's 5'7", and around 140 pounds.
32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,980
She has a tattoo on her shoulder of three small birds and a large birthmark on the back
33
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:52,740
of her thigh.
34
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,720
And now, a timeline of events.
35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,000
For the Labor Day weekend in 2017, Abby spends this time with her family.
36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,640
They spend a day at the beach enjoying each other's company and by all accounts, Abby
37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,240
is happy to be home surrounded by her family.
38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:16,240
On Tuesday, September 5th, 2017, Abby's mom, Samantha, is scheduled to work that Tuesday
39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,160
and Abby makes plans to come with her to her work.
40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,960
However, in the morning, Abby tells her mom that she's going to hang out with a high
41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,880
school friend and run a few errands.
42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,120
Abby told her mom that she didn't plan to be out long and that she would text her.
43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,720
After Samantha left for work, she got a text from Abby around 1130 a.m. saying, quote,
44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,440
I will be back in one hour, end quote.
45
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,640
Abby waved goodbye to her grandmother and left their family home on East 9th Street.
46
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,440
This is on the east side of Lumberton.
47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Samantha saw Abby walk down the street and get into a brown Buick Park Avenue that said
48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000
the word Buick down the side.
49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,320
According to Lumberton police, Samantha also saw Abby in the car that day while she was
50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,240
out running errands.
51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Abby was wearing brown shorts and a white shirt.
52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Now, police have never named the person she got in the car with, but according to investigators,
53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,800
the friend told police that Abby had asked him to drop her off at another location.
54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,560
Again, police have never said what the second location is.
55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,200
They're very tight lipped about these two pieces of information and this whole interview
56
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480
with the friend.
57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,400
When an hour comes and goes and Abby is still not home, her mom starts to worry.
58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,200
It wasn't like her to not respond to text messages.
59
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,400
She tried to call Abby, but her phone went straight to voicemail.
60
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,200
This was also very unlike Abby.
61
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Her mother said that if her phone had died, she would usually call her from somebody else's
62
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,440
phone so she had a number to reach her.
63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,040
With each call that goes to voicemail, Samantha gets more and more concerned for her daughter's
64
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,260
safety.
65
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:02,520
When her mom recalls the events of that day to media, she'll say, quote, the day she
66
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,040
went missing, she told me she would be back in an hour, that she was with old high school
67
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720
friends and for me not to worry.
68
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,200
After an hour passed, her phone went straight to voicemail.
69
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
She left with someone she trusted.
70
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Abby's plan was to come back home that day, end quote.
71
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,860
Samantha grows increasingly worried as each hour passes.
72
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:25,720
Abby was expected to come home quickly.
73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,680
By 6 p.m. that evening, with still no sign of Abby, her mom reports her missing to police.
74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Now I couldn't find exact details about how police initially respond to this missing
75
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,840
person report.
76
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,940
I don't know if they're quick to start searching for her or if they're a little slow since
77
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:45,600
she's over 18 years old.
78
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,520
But during the course of the investigation, police do look at her phone, her phone records,
79
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,240
and bank activity.
80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,840
Police say they are able to put together a clear picture of Abby's activities when she
81
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,600
left the family home.
82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,720
But they acknowledge that they're missing that one last piece of information to be able
83
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,600
to locate Abby.
84
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Abby's family plead for someone to come forward with information.
85
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:15,280
They say, quote, Abby is a light to everyone that knows her and without her we are lost.
86
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,640
We pray that whoever might know something about her whereabouts will come forward, even
87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,040
if they choose to remain anonymous.
88
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,240
She is not just a missing person.
89
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,920
She is a missing daughter, a missing sister, a missing granddaughter, and a missing piece
90
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,440
of so many people's hearts, end quote.
91
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:39,600
By October, just a few weeks after Abby went missing, the FBI are involved in the case.
92
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,320
It's unclear exactly why they joined the investigation.
93
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,720
I'm unsure if there's evidence that Abby had been driven over state lines or if it's
94
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,740
the string of missing and murdered women in Lumberton that prompted their involvement.
95
00:05:54,740 --> 00:06:00,720
Police have been clear that they believe Abby's case is unrelated to any other case in Lumberton
96
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,060
and the county.
97
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:09,200
Around a month after Abby vanished, the family offers a $5,000 reward for information leading
98
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600
to Abby.
99
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,800
In February of 2018, only five months since Abby went missing, her mom, Samantha, reported
100
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,040
on Facebook that she had spent the day hanging missing person posters around Lumberton and
101
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,600
very specifically where Abby was last seen getting into the car.
102
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Within hours of the flyers being hung, someone had ripped them down from the telephone poles.
103
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,720
She found them lying in the street.
104
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,000
In July of 2018, approaching the one-year anniversary of her disappearance, police spend
105
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,280
a full day searching for Abby along Alamac Road in Lumberton.
106
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,640
Police said, quote, the FBI and Lumberton Police Department conducted a search yesterday
107
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,160
as part of the ongoing investigation to locate Abby Lynn Patterson.
108
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,560
We continue to assist the LPD with this case and encourage the public to come forward with
109
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,320
information to help locate Abby, end quote.
110
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,000
It's unclear if anything was found during these searches, but it does seem like police
111
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,180
return again and again to Alamac Road.
112
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:18,600
This is the only time they officially say that they're searching for Abby, but they
113
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,920
do conduct more searches but just aren't clear about what they're searching for or what case
114
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,080
it's related to.
115
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,960
But it's all along Alamac Road.
116
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:36,000
In September of 2018, at the one-year anniversary, her mother Samantha wrote, quote, a year ago
117
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480
today, that was our last picture together.
118
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,320
We laughed all day long.
119
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,380
This was the perfect day.
120
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:46,860
What I would give to go back to this very moment.
121
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:49,400
You are so very missed, my sweet Abby.
122
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,920
I love you more than words could ever say.
123
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,340
We are not giving up.
124
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,440
I feel you with me every day.
125
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,240
I promise we will find you, end quote.
126
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,760
In 2019, Abby's family creates a Facebook to give updates on her case and to share memories
127
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,440
of her.
128
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,140
Sifting through the post and comments, Abby's mom says that there is a person of interest
129
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:16,160
in the case, but it takes time to prove what happened when no one is talking and the police
130
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,540
are limited in the evidence that they have.
131
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:24,720
The FBI is still working on Abby's case and both the FBI and Lumberton police have
132
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,240
pledged to work the case until they can find her.
133
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,240
In September of 2019, so it's been two years now since Abby disappeared, her mom
134
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,800
organizes a door-to-door canvas of Alamac Road.
135
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Again, this is the only area that I could find where police and FBI have searched for
136
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,880
Abby.
137
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,960
They also knocked on doors to talk to folks to see if they could gather any new information.
138
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,820
It's also around this time that the FBI announces that they are adding additional
139
00:08:53,820 --> 00:09:00,180
funds to the reward money and they are bringing the total reward to $10,000 for information
140
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:01,600
leading to Abby.
141
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,200
In 2022, the Lumberton police post a video on their Facebook page summarizing Abby's
142
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,440
case.
143
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,440
In the video, they mentioned that not only have they been able to ID the driver of the
144
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,320
Buick, but also the other people that Abby was with that day.
145
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,680
Police say that through their investigation, they have been able to get a picture of Abby's
146
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,160
activities on the day she disappeared.
147
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Quote, because of this, we know a great deal about what happened in the hours after Abby
148
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,160
left home, but not enough to locate her.
149
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,240
It's this last piece that we're waiting on to bring her home to her mother and sisters.
150
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,000
End quote.
151
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,320
As of 2024, her mother is still advocating and pushing for someone to come forward in
152
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
her daughter's case.
153
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,920
The family feels prepared that she may not be coming home to them alive, but they want
154
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,240
her home to lay her to rest and to know where she is.
155
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:02,240
But that is all we know about the disappearance of Abby Lynn Patterson.
156
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Family and police stress that there are people out there that hold the key to this case and
157
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,640
beg them to come forward with the information.
158
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Police family stresses that it is unlike her to go this long without contacting them.
159
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,160
So if you know anything about the disappearance of Abby Lynn Patterson or her whereabouts
160
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:31,400
today, please call the Lumberton police at 910-671-3845.
161
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,320
So that is the case of Abby Lynn Patterson.
162
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:43,720
I pretty instantly felt a kinship with Abby and her story.
163
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,560
I'm a recovering addict as well.
164
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:52,960
I just celebrated three years of sobriety.
165
00:10:52,960 --> 00:11:05,760
So knowing that she was doing that and rebooting her life is...
166
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,080
What I wrote down was getting sober is the most difficult thing an addict can do, but
167
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,920
when you do, you're kind of unstoppable.
168
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,560
Or that has been the case in my life.
169
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:28,200
A lot of things opened up for me when I got sober and maintained my sobriety and committed
170
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,200
to it.
171
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,260
So knowing that she was doing that and this happened during that time is...
172
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:37,080
It's really hard.
173
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:44,400
And also makes her going missing at this time even more suspicious to me.
174
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,960
Yeah.
175
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Abby truly had the whole world ahead of her.
176
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,920
And like you said, getting sober.
177
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000
She was taking the world on and taking her life back.
178
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,200
And yeah, just to echo what you said, it's really tragic that just as she was getting
179
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,480
her footing again and get going, this massive thing happened and now we just don't know
180
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,080
where she is.
181
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:17,480
The question, the first question I had was mostly around the high school friends, but
182
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,200
you definitely expanded on that.
183
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,040
I just, I really wish we knew who they were.
184
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,880
But I also, I'm also just grateful that there is some information out there, at least that
185
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,760
law enforcement has on who these people are.
186
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:49,160
But it's still wild that even with how recent this case is and how there has been so much
187
00:12:49,160 --> 00:13:02,040
technological advancement in true crime investigation and it being 2024 for that last missing piece,
188
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,720
because they have a lot of information, but they need confirmation from the sources, the
189
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,320
police themselves.
190
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:17,080
And in every case, no matter what, when it comes down to it, it's like you still need,
191
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,720
you have to count on people.
192
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,760
You have to count on people to come through with the answers.
193
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,320
And that's exactly what's happening here.
194
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,720
Absolutely.
195
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,000
It goes to show that some of the greatest tools that investigators have is just witnesses.
196
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,240
And I know we've talked about before how witnesses can sometimes be unreliable.
197
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,520
Maybe they can't remember things, but just having people say, oh, I saw a girl that looked
198
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,200
like that walking here around this time.
199
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,560
Even if there's nothing else suspicious going on or notable, that is helpful.
200
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:56,560
It kind of helps trace and lead to the next thing, which might lead to a camera, which
201
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,680
might lead to security footage.
202
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:08,280
There's nothing that can really replace people as we go in an increasingly technological
203
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,400
world.
204
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,960
People are irreplaceable.
205
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,960
Yeah.
206
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:20,480
And the presence of that irreplaceability is so palpable in the way that her mom talks
207
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,300
about her.
208
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:27,040
You read that post and it just broke my heart.
209
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:33,560
And I think because this is more recent, I can really feel it.
210
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:40,560
That actively this person is living with this terrifying uncertainty.
211
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:47,800
My heart really goes out to her, but especially because the case is new to me, I have a lot
212
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:55,300
of hope for the truth to show itself in this case.
213
00:14:55,300 --> 00:15:00,080
If there's one thing that I took away from this case is that police and her family are
214
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,240
convinced, and I think with good reason, that somebody out there knows something and people
215
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,480
just aren't talking.
216
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,720
And if there are people out there, that means that somebody is going to slip up eventually.
217
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Someone is going to say something in their sleep.
218
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Someone is going to get drunk and blurt something out.
219
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:26,800
So I do believe that we will see answers in this case and that somebody will either slip
220
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:33,520
up or maybe they'll just need to clear their conscience and need to say what they know,
221
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,860
whether they're involved or if they just have knowledge of what happened.
222
00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:42,840
Maybe somebody will have that laid on their heart where they'll just be able to come forward
223
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,580
with the information that's needed that will lead to Abby.
224
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:54,400
It was very clear to me as well in your research that you did and shared with us that her whole
225
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,080
community is very committed to finding her as well.
226
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,600
When you said that two years had gone by and they did the door-to-door canvassing, I was
227
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:13,560
kind of taken aback that they were out there, boots on the ground, similar to when a person
228
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,040
goes missing and the search party happens that day.
229
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:26,080
I know it was different, but I thought that was amazing.
230
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,120
To me, I'm even getting goosebumps right now.
231
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,800
I'm like, hell yeah, these people are not going to let it go.
232
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,960
I love that for her.
233
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
I love that for Abby and I love that for her family.
234
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:42,960
I think people in the area especially, not letting it go and not staying quiet puts pressure
235
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,200
on people to eventually say something one way or another.
236
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,900
Abby's mom and family are really a force to be reckoned with and they are very committed
237
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:58,200
to not letting her name get out of the media, of not letting anybody forget that they are
238
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
looking for her every single day.
239
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,680
If any of our listeners end up researching this case, and I mentioned it a little bit
240
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:13,000
in our timeline, you will undoubtedly see the other missing people cases in Lumberton
241
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,160
and the other murders.
242
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,700
Some of them aren't classified as murders.
243
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:23,720
Some of them are very suspicious deaths, but women found dead not far from where Abby was
244
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,320
last seen.
245
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,520
There's a lot of Reddit posts, things like that, talking about could there be a serial
246
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,960
killer in this area.
247
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,280
I don't want to discount that that could be happening because frankly that could happen
248
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,440
anywhere.
249
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,380
Police do seem very convinced that Abby's incident is isolated, which is why I chose
250
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:49,840
to focus mainly just on her during the timeline and not bring in other cases, which I know
251
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:55,320
I sometimes do if I think maybe there could be a small connection, but police are just
252
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:02,480
very adamant that Abby's case is isolated compared to the rest.
253
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,080
That's why if you're doing your own research or maybe you know this case and you're wondering
254
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,520
why I'm not talking about everything else going on in Lumberton, that's just why I chose
255
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,400
to do it that way as full transparency.
256
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,600
So again, if you know anything about the disappearance of Abby Lynn Patterson or her whereabouts
257
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:28,120
today, please call the Lumberton police at 910-671-3845.
258
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,920
And we will be sharing photos of Abby on our Instagram this week.
259
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,760
You can find us at Cold and Missing because Abby went missing so recently.
260
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,540
You know her social media was very active, so there are a lot of photos out there.
261
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:46,540
So we'll be able to provide lots of different images of her so that way you can kind of
262
00:18:46,540 --> 00:18:50,200
get her picture in your minds and in your thoughts.
263
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,760
And if you see somebody matching her description, you know, maybe you can help.
264
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,080
We also have just been raking in the reviews recently.
265
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,280
So thank you so much to everybody who has left one, given us five stars.
266
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800
If you've left a written review, thank you so much.
267
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:12,080
I know everyone is busy and every podcast you listen to asks for you to do this so it
268
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,120
can just like turn into noise.
269
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:20,000
But whenever you do it, it is an incredible way to support these cases and support this
270
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,000
podcast.
271
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,440
It gets other people listening, which is so helpful to getting these stories out there
272
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,160
to everybody.
273
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,660
And if you or someone you love is hard of hearing and needs a transcript to follow along,
274
00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:37,760
we have those on our website www.coldandmissing.com and there you'll find the full backlog of
275
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,040
all the cases we've covered to date.
276
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440
Thank you so much for listening to Cold and Missing.
277
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,200
I'm your host Allie.
278
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,000
And I'm your co-host Eli.
279
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,120
Have a great week and stay safe, y'all.
280
00:19:49,120 --> 00:20:18,240
Stay safe, y'all.
