  • Had high hopes for this podcast

    I had high hopes for this podcast, but unfortunately it fell flat. The speakers consistent tone creates a steady if somewhat unvarying delivery throughout the podcast.

  • Stupid words!!

    I enjoyed this podcast, but when I am reading words, like unhoused, I’m done the word is homeless, not unhoused it’s called homeless and I don’t understand why so many are using these stupid words. They are stupid. The word is homeless, not an housed, homeless.

  • Good Podcast

    Has a different format than other Missing Persons podcasts. Works very well, imo, very professional and yet allows the vulnerability of survivors to come to the surface in a very respectful manner. Good job.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Audrey Herron
Q: What are your thoughts on the Russian mob involvement in this case?
It's seen as more of a red herring as there's no substantial evidence to support that theory; other explanations seem more plausible.
Audrey Herron
Q: Did police investigate her husband and what was his involvement?
Yes, the police did investigate Jeff, but his participation in searches and interviews has been minimal, raising additional questions.
Audrey Herron
Q: Can you tell listeners a little bit about Audrey, her life, job, family, and was there any kind of red flags that she might be at risk of disappearing?
Audrey was a mother of three and a nurse who generally had a stable life, but there was speculation about her having a doctor's appointment the next day that might have been a stressor.
Audrey Herron
Q: How did you guys get involved in that case or become interested in that case?
We found out about Audrey from the Map the Missing Facebook page, where someone mentioned her as a case worth investigating.
Jill Kloppenburg
Q: Did they start asking questions, go to question any of these people that knew Jill or were living with her?
Ann details the initial lack of action by police and the subsequent efforts her friends took to provide information and push for a proper investigation.
