And now I immediately want to do a podcast with you. Started my day with this because I'm determined to find every way possible not to consume the news of the day. It's surely one of your best, albeit a heartbreaking subject. You're so good at hitting an array of emotions with perfect balance. If I were you, I'd feel the same way about this case. Maybe it needs someone like you to be the proverbial dog with a bone. Let's not let despair win. xo

This is so sad. Terribly, terribly sad. But it needed to be written. I would listen to your podcast. I might even help you make it (I'm serious). I listen to Dateline a lot, furious about how these murdered girls are forgotten, thrown away. Until someone is relentless and new DNA evidence comes into play or something. Anyway...I feel the depth of your despair here, Stephanie.

The last news blip said they’d sent the dna out for more advanced testing but then no more updates. 🤷🏻‍♀️ like…what does that mean?

It probably means it got buried under a whole bunch of other stuff and someone needs to be really annoying to get them to do it. At least that's what I'm guessing...it's so unacceptable.

All day I’ve felt like maybe it’s too much of a downer.
