  • Very well done

    I was a coworker of Talina’s when she went missing and have been writing to true crime podcasters for years suggesting they cover her case. I was thrilled to find this one and definitely learned some things about Talina and the case that I didn’t know before. I’m so happy her name and story are getting out there, she deserves to be remembered!
