• 0:09
  Speaker 1: at the Tallahassee Publix and headed home. Allie was four
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: months pregnant.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Preparing for a baby she desperately wanted, and by all appearances,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: planning for her future. Hours later, she was gone. Her
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: car was still at home, her purse and cell phone
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: were left behind, and there were no obvious signs of
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a struggle. But there was one detail investigators couldn't ignore.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: A phone call just before 1 a.m. in the morning,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the last verified contact anyone would.

  Speaker 2: the story of our missing person. On February 2nd, 2006,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: 30-year-old Allie Gilmore finished her shift at the Tallahassee Publix.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And headed home.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Now, guys... this is where it gets a little crazy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Where did she go?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Because that Thursday started as an ordinary day for 30
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: year old Alicia Gilmore. Now she went to work, moved
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: through the familiar rhythm of a life she had spent
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: years building. And after leaving her first.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Job, she reported for her second job at Publix.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Like I said, she was four months pregnant. She was however,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: separated from her husband, And she was standing at one
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of those complicated crossroads where the past isn't quite settled,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: but their future is already arriving. Allie had experienced the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: heartbreak of a previous miscarriage, and this time she was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: preparing carefully for the baby she had desperately wanted.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: There were pregnancy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Books at home, baby clothes waiting in another room, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: appointments still to come. And nothing about that Thursday suggested
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: that Allie was about to disappear. That evening, Allie had
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: worked her second job at the Publix Bakery on Appalachee Parkway.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: At approximately 11 p.m., her shift ended and she left
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the store. Investigators believe she returned to her home at
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: 231 Lorain Court on Tallahassee's south side. Sometime after midnight,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you know, Thursday moved in to Friday, February 3rd. Somewhere
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: around 1248 a.m., Allie had what the police described as
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: her last verified contact.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: It was a telephone call that lasted to after 1 a.m.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And it's that telephone call that years later, investigators would
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: publicly identify the man they say was on the other
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: end of that phone call. Because after that call, Allie
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: has never been seen or heard from again. Now, her
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: disappearance would eventually become one of the largest investigations in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the history of the Tallahassee Police Department. But before there
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: were detectives searching billboards, theories, and a case file that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: would grow for 20 years, there was simply Allie. Alicia
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Grimsley was born January 5th, 1976 in Riviera Beach, Florida.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: She grew up in South Florida and attended Jupiter High School,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: where she distinguished herself as a track athlete. Her best
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: friend from those years, Aretha Ratliff, remembered Allie as a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: sweet and selfless person. And it's a description that fits
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the picture painted by so many of the people who
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: knew her. Allie wasn't simply building a life for herself.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: She had a habit of encouraging the people around her
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to build theirs too. After high school, Tallahassee became home.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Allie attended Florida A & M University and eventually built
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a professional career as an analyst with the Florida Department
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of Health. And after establishing that career, she continued working
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: part-time at Publix maintaining a connection to a company that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: she had worked for since high school. Holding down two
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: jobs was something about Allie that says she was.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Dedicated, okay?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But so does what happened when she didn't show up.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: People noticed immediately because disappearing without explanation was not part
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of Allie's patterns.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: She was responsible. She was organized.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And if she was supposed to be somewhere, she was
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: there because people expected her to be there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Because she always was.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Her generosity extended beyond her family and her work friends.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Her friend Liz Denson remembered a Thanksgiving when going home
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: was difficult because Liz had lost both of her parents. Allie.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Didn't allow her friend to spend the holiday alone.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Instead, she invited Liz to travel to South Florida and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: spend Thanksgiving with Allie and her family. Liz remembered not
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: only that road trip, but how warm Allie's family welcomed
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: her and how Allie encouraged Liz to attend church and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: later encouraged her.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: To buy a home.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Allie seemed to possess the ability to look at someone
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: she cared about see what their life could become, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: give them that little bitty push that they needed to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: move toward it, all while cheering for them and being
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there along the way. That same quality became part of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: her relationship with James Gilmore. Allie met James at Governor
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Square Mall in Tallahassee and their relationship.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Led to marriage.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: James later credited Allie would encourage him to return to
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: school and earn his college degree. Together, they eventually purchased
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that home on 231 Lorain Court. For Allie, owning that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: home was something to be proud of. It represented permanence, progress,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and another piece of the adult life she had steadily
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: been creating. But a house can look settled from the outside,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: while the lives inside are anything but. By 2005, Allie
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and James' marriage was struggling like so many young marriages do.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: James later said financial problems had created tension between them.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And by that October, the couple separated. James moved in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: with his brother while Allie remained at the home they
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: had purchased. Around that same time, Allie attended Florida A
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: & M University's homecoming festivities, and according to her sister Tracy,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it was there that Allie met Dwight Alderage. Tallahassee investigators
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: would later describe Allie and Dwight as having been romantically involved.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: At first, that relationship was simply another piece of Allie's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: personal life. After she disappeared, it would become of the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: one of the most examined.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Parts of her story.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Allie had discovered she was pregnant, and by February 2006,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: she was approximately four months along. For Allie, this wasn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: simply another pregnancy. She had suffered that previous miscarriage, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: those closest to her said she was being extra particularly
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: careful this time. And inside her home was all the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: tangible signs of.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: The future she expected to have. There was those pregnancy
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: books near her bed, those baby clothes, okay?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: One pregnancy book was reportedly lying on the bed itself.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Allie wasn't leaving behind the remnants of a life she
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: appeared finished with. She was surrounded by evidence of a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: life she seemed to be preparing to expand and happy with.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: There was, however, a little uncertainty around the baby's paternity.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Allie and James were separated, although by all signs, they
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: were discussing whether their marriage could be repaired. James later
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: said Allie disclosed her relationship with Dwight during a marriage
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: counseling session. And according to later investigative reports, Allie herself
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: wasn't 100% certain on whether James or Dwight was the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: baby's father. Years after Allie vanished, investigators revealed another detail
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: from inside her home. Police said they found information in
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Allie's day planner that they believe connected the possibility conception
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: date to the initials D.A., which they interpreted to be
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Dwight Aldridge. Police also said Dwight had accompanied Allie to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: multiple prenatal medical appointments. Those circumstances led investigators to consider
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the possibility that Dwight was the father, but paternity was
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: never publicly established. Even the Tallahassee police have been careful
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to acknowledge that it is not known for certain.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: By the evening of.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: February 2nd, All of those pieces of Allie's life.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Were moving at once.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: There was a marriage that might or might not be repairable.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Another relationship investigators are going to later scrutinize and unanswered
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: questions about the paternity, two jobs, a home, a family
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: that left her, a baby growing inside her. Then at
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: night came that Allie finished her shift at Publix and
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: headed home. We know she made it there. And sometime
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: after Allie returned to her home, she was apparently in
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: bed with that prenatal book.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Then she got that phone call.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. Now that's the last verified contact. That call did
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: come from Dwight Aldridge. That fact would not become widely
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: known until years later. Tallahassee investigators say Dwight acknowledged speaking
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: with Allie that night. Police would eventually reveal something else
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: they considered significant. Cellular tower information indicated Dwight's phone was
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: in that immediate area of Allie's home around the time
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: of that call. An investigator said that information did not
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: match the account Dwight had given them about where he was.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Red flag, people, red flag.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: That discrepancy became important, but it isn't proof of what
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: happened to Allie. Dwight has never been charged in connection
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: with her disappearance. Being identified as a person of interest
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is not the same thing as being found responsible for
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: a crime, okay?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It's a suspicion.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: What investigators know is that there was that phone call
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: that came in at approximately 12.48 that morning. What they
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: don't know is what happened afterward. They do know Friday
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: morning arrived and Allie didn't.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Show up for work.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: For anyone else, a missed shift might not have immediately
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: raised an alarm. But for Allie, it did. Her reliability
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: was part of who she was. It was in her DNA.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: She also had another commitment that Friday. Allie and James
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: were supposed to attend a marriage counseling appointment. James also
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: missed that appointment, later explaining that he had overslept. He
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: said he tried to call Allie afterwards to apologize, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: she didn't answer. Then Friday became Saturday. Saturday became Sunday.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Allie didn't call her family. She didn't contact any of
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: her friends. She didn't return to work. There was no
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: reassuring message or contact explaining that she needed time away.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That silence simply stretched across the entire weekend. On Monday morning,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: February 6th, Tallahassee police officers responded to that home on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the rain court after Allie was reported missing. She didn't
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: report to work Friday or Monday.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: When investigators entered the house, they weren't greeted by the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: obvious chaos people might expect from a violent confrontation. Police
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: said there was no sign of struggle. Instead, much of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Allie's life appeared to be exactly where she left it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Her vehicle remained at the residence. Her purse, her cell
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: phone were there. There was those pregnancy books, the baby clothes.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: There was no sign that Allie packed up anything and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: wanted to leave. Guys, if you don't know, a woman
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't leave her purse behind, okay? They're going to take
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it with them. Whatever happened, she apparently disappeared without taking
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: any of those things that you would expect that she
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: would take along. The search began. Detectives interviewed hundreds of people.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Investigators searched around Tallahassee in portions of the Apachacola National Forest.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Family members, friends, volunteers, and law enforcement searched for any
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: trace of Allie. Her photograph and posters were spread across Tallahassee.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yard signs, billboards. Her disappearance reached national television.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: For a time, it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Seemed difficult to travel through Tallahassee. without encountering Allie's face
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: in the same unanswered question. Where is Allie Gilmore? Her
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: family kept asking the questions long after the billboards became
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: familiar scenery. Allie's father, Carl McLaurin, reportedly traveled from South
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Florida to Tallahassee to help search. Her half-brother, Percy Walker,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: later spoke about the helplessness families experienced when someone disappears.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: When it's your daughter, your sister, or someone you love
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: who's missing, no search can feel big enough because every
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: place that hasn't been searched becomes another place where the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: answer might be hiding. The search brought another painful blow
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to Allie's family when her mother, Larvetta Grimsley McLarson, was
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: seriously injured in a car accident during a trip to Tallahassee.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Years later, her mother.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Was still dealing with the physical consequences of that accident
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: while carrying something medicine could never repair. She didn't know
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: what happened to her daughter. Allie's younger sister, Adela, carried
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a different minder. During an interview, She held a sonogram
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: image from Allie's pregnancy. It represented another dimension of this
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: disappearance that can easily become lost when Allie's story is
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: reduced to a case number. Allie's family didn't lose contact
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: with only one person in February. Allie disappeared while carrying
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a child that they were looking forward to welcoming into
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: their family. Investigators naturally examined the people closest to Allie,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: including James. He was, however, her estranged husband. Their marriage
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: was troubled, and they had been scheduled for a counseling
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: session that morning. Police questioned him extensively. As the investigation progressed,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: authorities said evidence corroborated James' account of his whereabouts. Investigators
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: have also pointed to his continued cooperation, and they said
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: they believe James had nothing to do with Allie's disappearance. However,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: their attention increasingly turned towards Dwight Aldridge. In October of 2021,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: 15 years after Allie vanished, Tallahassee police took the unusual
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: step of publicly identifying James Dwight Allridge as a person
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of interest in revealing more of their investigative theory. Police
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: discussed Allie's relationship with Dwight, the unresolved questions surrounding the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: baby's paternity, his attendance at those prenatal appointments, the notion
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: investigators found in Allie's planner, and finally, that final known
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: telephone call. Now, investigators also talked about the inconsistencies in
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: his story. Like I said, police said Tower Records placed
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Dwight near Allie's home around the time of that phone call.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: While investigators said Dwight said he was nowhere near there. Okay? Then,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Dwight Ulrich stopped cooperating with the police. Those details made headlines,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: but they did not solve the case. Dwight has not
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: been charged in her disappearance, but the evidence publicly disclosed
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: by police does not establish what happened after that telephone
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: call and why did he lie. 20 years have now
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: passed since Allie disappeared But Tallahassee Police have not closed
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: her file. In February of just this year, investigators confirmed
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: they are still actively pursuing information. The investigation has become
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: one of the largest case files in the department's history.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And that file is filled with interviews, tips, searches, records,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: years of their investigative work. Because somewhere among everything detectives
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: know and everything they still don't may be the detail
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that finally bridges the gap between Allie answering that telephone
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: call and Allie disappearing.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Hello, Lainey.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Welcome in. It's okay that you're late. We're just glad
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: that you're here. You can be part of the replay
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: crew and watch the first part. As of today, Allie
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: would be 50 years old. Okay. She is still listed
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: as a missing adult. When she vanished, she was 5
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: feet 6 inches, around 180 pounds. She was four to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: four and a half months pregnant. She had black hair
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and brown eyes. She had pierced ears, a birthmark on
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: her abdomen, and a tattoo of the name Allie on
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the right side of her chest. There is something especially
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: difficult about looking at the photographs of Allie now because
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: we know what could not have known when those photographs
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: were taken. She was moving forward. She had graduated from college.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: She built a career. She got married.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: She purchased a home.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: She had friendships that stretched back years and years and
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a close family that she loved and that loved her.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Her personal life might.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Have been complicated, but complicated isn't the same as finished.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: She was excited about that baby. She was preparing to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: welcome that child. Then came February 2nd, 2006. She went
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to work, finished that shift, went to her second job,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: finished that shift, returned home. Got a late night phone call.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: And by morning, Allie was gone. She left behind that car,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: her purse, her cell phone. Those baby books on her
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: bed was when she was reading. Just think about that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: A book open, laying on your bed. Like you got
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that phone call, so you laid the book down. And
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: then you're never heard from again. And I'm going to say,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Dwight Ulrich, you are listed as a person of interest.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say you're not cooperating is a huge
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: big flag to me. And the fact that you lied
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to police and that you were near her home at
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the time of that phone call instead of where you
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: told police you are doesn't look good for you, sir.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: So if for some reason you hear this or see this,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: please be honest with police. Do the right thing. It's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: got to be haunting you. Even if you weren't involved,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: tell them if you had a fight with her and
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: she hung up on you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Whatever the truth is, tell the truth.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Anyone else, if you know anything about the disappearance of
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Allie Leisha Gilmore, even if it's something you heard 20
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: years ago and you dismissed it and said, this isn't important.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Investigators want that information. We don't know what all they have.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe that one little piece will put together a whole story.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: You can contact the Tallahassee Police Department at 850-891-4200. Because guys,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: 20 years is a long time to keep asking the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: same question.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: The time has not made the question less important. Someone
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: may still know what happened inside those missing hours. Someone
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: may remember a conversation, a vehicle, or that detail that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you never thought mattered. Maybe Dwight has said something to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: you and it's kind of always mingled in the back
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: of your mind that like, hmm, that's sus, okay? Maybe,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: just maybe, it's something that will help the police. Allie's
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: family has spent two decades waiting for the piece of
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: information that will finally bring answers what happened to her. Also,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: they would like to know where she is. So once again,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: if you have any information, even if it's a suspicion,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: please call the Tallahassee Police Department at 850-891-4200. Because guys,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Someone out there knows something. An alien did not shine
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: a beam down on top of her home.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: And beam her up. Doesn't happen, okay?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Guys, if you know someone who is missing or a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: case in your area that you think needs more intention
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: or it's one of your loved ones, we would be
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: honored to help share their story, okay? And if you're
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a family member or a loved one and you want
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to come on live with us, or you want to
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: do a prerecorded interview, tell us the story about your
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: loved one. We would love that. We would love to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: get to know them through your eyes. You can email me,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Terry at TCWTmedia.com or DM me on any of our
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: social media accounts.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to ask you to go and join
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: our Midday Missing Facebook group. If you're on Facebook. Why?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Because here in the near future, We will stop streaming
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: this on the True Crime and Wine Time Facebook page.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: We will be moving it to the Midday Missing page.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Same thing on YouTube. Here in the new future, we
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: are going.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: To be moving the Midday Missing to its own page
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: because we will have more advocacy focused content on that page.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Okay. Also, I will continue.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: To share the missing person posters on the Facebook Midday
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Missing page, and on my Terry True Crime page. Please
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: share them. I get so many DMs from family members saying,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: thank you. You have no idea how much it means.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: It's a small thing that we can do for them.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Because every follow, every share, every set of eyes matters
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: when someone is missing. Okay? And guys, tomorrow night, True
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Crime and Wine Time We air every Thursday, but we
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: are back.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Eastern.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And every week, we grab a glass of wine or
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: something cold to drink, and we take a deep dive
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: into some of the most shocking, disturbing, and unforgettable cases.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And guys, this week, we are headed to Knoxville, Tennessee, okay?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: And it's a case that is difficult to comprehend even
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: this many years later. And we've been working on this
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: one for a while. And it's currently in the headlines.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: And we had no idea it was going to still
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: be going. Krista Pike was only 18 years old when
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: 19-year-old Colleen Slimmer was brutally murdered in January of 1995.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Prosecutors said the attack was fueled by jealousy. But what
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: happened that night went far beyond a confrontation between two men.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Young women. Colleen was brutally murdered. Okay.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: And Pike kept a piece of Colleen's skull as a souvenir.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: And we're going to learn more about Krista and her upbringing.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: We're going to learn more about her extremely troubled past.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: And it's not an excuse, but we're going to learn
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: more about her. And we're going to learn more about
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Colleen because guess what? Colleen is the victim here. Lani,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: you knew we were talking about Krista Pike. It's going
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: to be an interesting series because me and my fabulous
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: co-host Lama are on two different sides, which happens very often.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So I'm interested in seeing if there is something that
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: she can teach us that might change my mind. Because
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I believe your childhood upbringing does not mean you can't
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: be held accountable for your actions unless you're mentally insane.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And Krista was not. Also, she's never shown remorse.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: She's tried to escape.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: She, I mean, there's a lot of things. And her
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: childhood was horrific. But you're going to want to join us.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I want to say this case. May take us through
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. Llama keeps expanding it. And
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: with all the new stuff going on, it's going to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: be good. So if you think you knew everything about
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: this case, I'm going to tell you, you didn't. This
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: deep dive is deep. Every rabbit hole possible. I think
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Llama's been down probably a couple of times. So you're
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: going to want to join us tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Eastern.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Because we're going to go through the full story of
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Krista Pike and the murder of Colleen Slimmer. And we're
