  • I truly hope they find Skye

    This is so moving. I truly hope that Megan and her family find Skye, and find out what happened to her. I can’t imagine what this kind of ambiguous loss would feel like.

  • Extraordinarily Ordinary

    This story as told by the family of a missing person is incredibly ordinary. It’s clearly not been made by professional podcasters (the thumping/bumping microphone truly nearly made me switch off a few times) but it opens an intriguing window into the lives of utterly ordinary people and what happens when someone goes missing. This traumatic event, you imagine, will be followed by bevys of super knowledgeable police and investigators and advisors that would walk a family through the process. You... more
