The Sneaker in the Crack: How Kellerman Hid Rachel for 37 Years · Mystery Stories and Unsolved Cases

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: At 6.47 in the morning on the 4th of March 2021,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a man named Jeffrey Hansen was running his usual four-mile
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: loop through the industrial corridor east of Varnell, Ohio. He
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: had run that same route hundreds of times. He stopped
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: because he saw a child's sneaker standing upright in a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: crack of broken concrete. Just one sneaker, white with a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: blue stripe, standing on its own, as if someone had
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: set it there on purpose. The building behind it had
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: been closed for years. The Kellerman Cannery, built in 1941,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: sat vacant on the east end of town. Nobody had
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: worked inside it for a long time. And yet that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: sneaker was not lying on its side the way a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: lost shoe falls. It was standing straight up, laces tucked in.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Hansen called 911. The first unit from the sheriff's office
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: arrived within minutes. What they found beneath that floor would
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: take 37 years to explain. There is something specific about
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this case that resists easy summary. A nine-year-old girl walked
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: home from school on a Friday afternoon. She never arrived,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and for nearly four decades, the people who loved her
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: had no answer, only silence and a building they drove
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: past without knowing why. Varnell, Ohio is not a large town.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: In the early 1980s, it was the kind of place
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: where children still walked to school alone, where neighbors recognized
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: each other by the cars in their driveways, where the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: end of a school day meant a brief, moth, familiar
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: walk through streets you knew by heart. Rachel Becker was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: nine years old in September of 1983. She was in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: third grade at Denton Elementary in the Millside neighborhood. Her
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: family lived on Forsyth Street, four blocks from the school.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Four blocks was not a long distance. Her parents, Paul
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and Marlene, had made that walk seem routine. Paul Becker
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: worked at a warehouse distribution center. Marlene worked the cleaning
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: shift at the Sundown Motor Lodge on Route 6. They
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: were working people in a working town, raising two daughters.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Rachel's older sister Sandra was already old enough to navigate
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the world more independently.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Rachel was still learning.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: What her teacher, Patricia Holt, remembered about Rachel was not dramatic.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Holt was Rachel's third-grade teacher, and decades later, at 81
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: years old, living in a care facility in Columbus, what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: she recalled was simple. Rachel kept a notebook, a small
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: spiral notebook in pencil. In it, she kept a running
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: list of every dog she.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Had ever met.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The list had 41 entries by the time school started
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that September. Each entry had the dog's name and a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: column with a yes or no. The column was labeled, Me,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Lamio Lamano. Whether it had licked her hand. The last
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: entry was dated the 8th of September, 1983, the day
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: before she disappeared.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: The dog's name was Biscuit. The column read, Yes.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That notebook would sit in a sealed box for 38
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: years before anyone opened it again. On the 9th of September,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Rachel left Denton Elementary. A little after three, she did
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not take the direct route home. She took the long way,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: through the Industrial River Corridor, past a vacant lot where
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: an ice cream truck sometimes parked on warm days. That
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: route was not one her parents had authorized.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It was longer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It ran close to the east side of town, past
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the old cannery, past buildings that had nothing to do
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with the life of a nine-year-old girl walking home from school.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: At 4.15 that afternoon, Marlene called the school. She had
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: not seen Rachel.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: No one had.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Paul called the Varnell police at 5.30. By then, Rachel
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: had been missing for more than two hours. By then,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the window that investigators would later wish they had used
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: differently was already narrowing. The search that followed was real
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and sustained.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: 200 volunteers.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: 11 days. The millside neighborhood, the river corridor. The surrounding roads.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's deputies from four counties. Investigators pulled records on out-of-town
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: license plates on a paving crew working Route 6 that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: week on anyone who might have passed through Varnell without
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: belonging there. They worked the theory that a stranger had
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: taken Rachel. Someone with no connection to the town, someone
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: who is already gone. That theory would drive the investigation
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for nearly four decades.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It was wrong.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: What nobody focused on, not in September of 1983, not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in any of the reviews that followed, was the Kellerman
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Cannery on the east side of town. It was just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a building on a route that a nine-year-old had taken home.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It sat on the same corridor she had walked. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had been there since 1941. It would keep its secret
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for 37 more years, and Sandra Becker, Rachel's older sister,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: would drive past it every few years without knowing why.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Something about that stretch of road made her slow down.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: She never understood it. She would not understand it until 2021,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when she was 54 years old, and a phone call
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: changed everything she thought she knew about that Friday afternoon
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in September. The renovation record for the Kellerman Cannery listed
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: no interior concrete work in 1983. It listed none in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: 1984 or 1985 either. But in the winter of 1986,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: something changed in the southeast corner of the loading dock.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: A rectangle of fresh concrete appeared on the floor, approximately
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: four feet wide, seven feet long. The aggregate was a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: different color from the surrounding slab. Nobody from the company
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: holding the building authorized it. There was no work order.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: There was no contractor name. Just new concrete where old
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: concrete had been, and no paper trail to explain why.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That patch sat there for about 35 years. Jeffrey Hansen
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: ran the same four-mile circuit through the industrial corridor every morning.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: He had been doing it since 2009. He knew every
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: building on that stretch.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Every shadow. Every rusted gate.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: On the morning of March 4th, 2021, he was moving
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: through the corridor at his usual pace when something stopped him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: A shoe, a child's sneaker, white with.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: A blue stripe, sitting upright near a broken section of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the cannery's exterior wall. Tying lace tucked neatly inside, he
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: called 911 at 6.47 in the morning. The shoe was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: standing up. A shoe left behind does not stand up.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It falls on its side.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It gets kicked. It gets rained flat.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: This one was vertical, balanced, age-jealous tucked in, as if
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: someone had set it down carefully before stepping through a door.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Hansen told the dispatcher it looked like a child's shoe.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Approximately a size three. The first sheriff's unit arrived 11
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: minutes later. What they found beneath the loading dock floor
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was a set of skeletal remains, largely intact. One sneaker
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: still on the foot, the second sneaker 14 inches away,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: standing upright, laces tucked inside. Forensic odontology matched the remains
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to Rachel Becker within 72 hours. She had been under
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that floor for 37 years, 5 months, and 23 days.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: The case landed on the desk of Curtis Peterson on
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: March 6, 2021. He was 31 years old. He had
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: been a cold case investigator for Harmon County Sheriff's Office
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: for 18 months.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: He sat down with it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: The following Tuesday morning at 7.15 at Edna's Kitchen on
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Commerce Street, the same booth where he worked most mornings,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: before anyone else was in the office. He spread the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: original 1983 file across the table and started reading. Two
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: things hit him almost immediately. The first was the cadaver,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: dog alert from September 14th. 1983. Five days into the search,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a handler had brought dogs through the industrial corridor. One
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: dog had alerted near the southeast loading dock, the same
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: zone where the concrete patch would later appear. The handler's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: notes recorded a strong solvent smell in that area.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: The conclusion?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Industrial contamination, not human remains.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: False alarm.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The search moved on. The dog had not been wrong.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: The second thing Peterson noticed was the concrete itself. The
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: holding company's renovation records showed nothing authorized for that part
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of the floor. The patch used a professional mix and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a professional application method. Someone who knew what they were
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: doing had poured it, and they had done it three
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: years after Rachel disappeared. Long enough that the original search
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: had closed long enough that no one was looking at
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the building anymore. Peterson spent four months working the case
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: without contacting a single suspect. He pulled the payroll records
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that the county fiscal office had retained after Decker Mechanical
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Services dissolved in 1991. Decker had sent a crew to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the cannery in the summer of 1983 to assess the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: electrical and plumbing infrastructure. One name from that crew appeared
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: on a few receipt dated september 11th 1983 two days
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: after rachel went missing the vehicle was a decker company
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: truck the stated purpose returning forgotten tools the vehicle was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: logged back in the same afternoon the name on that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: receipt was william reed Peterson ran Reed's background. In 1987,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Reed had been convicted of contributing to the delinquency of
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a minor. The details were sealed. In 24, a neighbor
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: had obtained a restraining order against him. The order involved
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: her young daughter and expired without further legal action. Reed
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: had no documented history of violent crime beyond those two records.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: He had lived quietly in Morganville, Ohio for decades. He
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was 64 years old. Then the DNA results came back.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: The concrete patch had been broken up during the recovery
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of Rachel's remains. Forensic technicians sampled the underside surface, the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: layer that had faced down into the void. They found
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: cellular material, skin cells, transferred at the time of application.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: The profile was partial, but it was male. And when
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: analysts ran it against the database, It matched a sample
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: collected from William Reed at the time of his 1987 arrest,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a sample retained in archive. The lab report used careful language.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It was not a certainty. It was, in the words
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of the supervising analyst, sufficient. Peterson let the file sit
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: on the table for a moment. Then he picked up
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the phone and scheduled an interview. Picture the interrogation room.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Reed walks in, 64 years old. and sits across from
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a 31-year-old investigator he has never met. Peterson lets him
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: talk for 40 minutes. Reed offers general denials. He remembers
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the cannery job. He remembers the summer. He does not
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: remember any child. Then Peterson sets the fuel receipt on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the table.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Reed looks at it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He says the explanation is in the paperwork, tools, forgotten tools.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: One trip back, Peterson sets down the DNA report. Reed
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: reads the summary line. He does not respond. Van Peterson
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: places a photograph on the table. The second sneaker. Standing upright.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Laces tucked inside. Alone in the dark. Beneath 35 years
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of concrete.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Reed did not speak for a long time.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: When he did, he described finding Rachel on the river corridor,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: near the vacant lot with the ice cream truck. He
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: told her there was a dog inside the building. A
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: hurt dog that needed help. He knew the side entrance
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was unlocked. He knew the building was empty. Two days
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: later he came back with materials and tools. He poured
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the patch himself. The sneaker standing upright was not deliberate.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: He said he did not see it in the dark.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Reed was arrested on August 3, 2021. He confessed that afternoon.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: He entered a guilty plea in November and was sentenced
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: on November 19, 2021, to life without the possibility of parole.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: There is a version of this story where the cadaver
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: dog in 1983 changes everything. Where someone pushes past the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: solvent explanation where the search does not move on. Where
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Rachel comes home to her family that fall. That version
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: did not happen. The dog alerted. The handler recorded it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and provided a logical explanation. The search moved on. Three
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: years later, Reed returned and sealed the floor. There is
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: another version where the 1987 conviction triggers a harder look
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: at Reed's history, where investigators connect his presence at the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: cannery to the open case in Varnell. That version did
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: not happen either. The details were sealed. The cases never crossed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: What did happen was a partial DNA profile from the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: underside of a concrete patch, a fuel receipt from a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: dissolved company's county archive, and a 31-year-old investigator sitting alone
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: at a diner table at 7.15 in the morning, reading
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a file that everyone else had set down. None of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: those three things was supposed to be enough. Together they were.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: One question the record does not close, Lisa Fenn. She
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: was nine years old in Corbin County in 1981, two
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: years before Rachel.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And a different jurisdiction.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Reed was interrogated about her case after his confession. He
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: denied any involvement. Her remains have never been found. The
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: case is still open. Whether the same man who poured
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that floor in Varnell ever stood in a different county
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with a different child is something the evidence as it
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: stands has not answered. Sandra Becker was 54 years old
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: when the court handed down the sentence. She had spent
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: most of her adult life carrying a question that had
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: no floor. Not knowing whether her sister was somewhere, not
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: knowing whether she had suffered, not knowing whether anyone would
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: ever be held to account. On November 19th, 2021, a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: judge in Harmon County answered two of those three. William Reed,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: 64 years old, entered a guilty plea. He was sentenced
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: case of Rachel Becker is closed. There is a box
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Sandra inherited from her mother's estate. Marlene Becker kept it
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: sealed after Rachel disappeared.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: She never opened it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: She died in 2016, not knowing what happened to the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: child she called at 4.15 on a September afternoon, waiting
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for an answer that never came. Sandra opened the box
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: for the first time after the sentencing. Inside was the notebook,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: 41 dogs, listed in pencil names in one column, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: beside each name a second column. Did it lick my hand?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The last entry is dated September 8th, 1983. The dog's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: name is Biscuit. The answer in the second column is yes.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Rachel Becker carried that notebook on her walk home the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: next day. She never made it back to Forsyth Street.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Patricia Holt, Rachel's third grade teacher, was 81 years old
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and living in a care facility in Columbus when investigators
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: reached her after the identification.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: She had one question.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: She asked whether Rachel had been able to pet many
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: dogs in her life. The record does not answer that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: What it answers is this. On the last full day
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Rachel Becker was alive, she found a dog named Biscuit,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and Biscuit licked her hand, and she wrote it down
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: because it mattered to her. That is what the evidence
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: gives back. Not everything, but that. The Kellerman cannery has
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: been shuttered since before the discovery. The southeast loading dock,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: The four-by-seven-foot patch of concrete with the mismatched aggregate was
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: documented and preserved as evidence. The building itself remains standing
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: on the east side of Arnell. There are no announced
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: plans for demolition. Jeffrey Hansen, the man who called 911
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: at 6.47 in the morning on March 4, 2021, still
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: runs the same four-mile circuit through the industrial corridor. He
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: has said publicly that he thinks about that morning every
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: time he passes the cannery. Curtis Peterson was promoted within
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the Harmon County Sheriff's Office following the resolution of the case.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: He has not commented publicly on the investigation beyond what
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the official record contains. He sat across from William Reed
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for 40 minutes and let the man talk. Then, he
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: placed three items on the table.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: A fuel receipt.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: A DNA report. A photograph of a child's sneaker. standing
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: upright in the dark. Reed did not speak for a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: long time after that. There is one question. The record
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: does not close, and it will not be papered over here.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Lisa Fenn was nine years old. She disappeared from Corbin
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: County in 1981, two years before Rachel, a different jurisdiction,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a different set of investigators who never connected her case
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to a man named Reed because there was no visible
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: thread to pull. After Reed's confession in August of 2021,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: investigators questioned him about Lisa Phan. He denied any involvement.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Her remains have never been found. That case is still open.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Whether the same man who poured concrete over a loading
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: dock floor in Varnell ever stood somewhere else with a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: different child, the evidence as it currently stands, has not
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: answered that. What the record establishes is a pattern in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: time and geography that Lisa Fenn's family has not been
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: able to ignore. Whether they will ever have what Sandra
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Becker now has, a name, a sentence, a sealed box
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: finally opened, is not something this episode can promise. It
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: is something the Corbin County investigation is still trying to determine.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Rachel Becker was nine years old. She took a longer
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: way home because she liked the industrial corridor by the river.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and there was a man with an ice cream truck
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in the lot. And sometimes, things were interesting on that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: route that were not interesting on the direct path.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: She kept a notebook. She had a system.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: She cared about which dogs were friendly enough to close
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the distance. 37 years passed. A runner noticed something that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: should not have been there. A young investigator sat alone
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: at a diner table at 7.50 7.15 in the morning
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and read a file that no one else had picked
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: up in years. Marlene Becker never got to know. That
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: fact does not resolve. It sits in the record the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: way the sneaker sat on that floor. Still, in the dark,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: for longer than anyone should have to wait. But Sandra
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: opened the box. And the last entry in the notebook
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is still there. In pencil, in a nine-year-old's handwriting. A
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: dog named Biscuit. A column that says yes. Some things
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: outlast everything that tries to erase them. This show is
• 20:23
