Cold and Missing: Kelly Dove
In the early morning hours of June 18, 1982, 20-year-old Kelly Dove vanished while working the overnight shift at a gas station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Just minutes before police arrived, Kelly made a series of calls reporting obscene phone calls and a suspicious man outside the store driving a silver Ford. When officers arrived- just minutes after Kelly’s 911 calls- the gas station was eerily untouched. Money left behind, her purse still behind the counter, and no signs of a struggle, but Kelly was gone. What followed was a decades-long search marked by missed leads, unanswered questions, and growing belief that Kelly was abducted and murdered. In this episode of Cold and Missing, we walk through Kelly’s final moments, the troubling similarities to other cases from the same summer, and the renewed investigation that may finally bring answers to what happened to Kelly Dove. Join Ali and Eli as we talk through this missing person case.

I'm your host, Ali McLaughlin -Solkowski. And
00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:29.910
I'm your co -host, Eli Solkowski. And this is
00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.429
Cold and Missing, where we cover cold cases and
00:00:32.429 --> 00:00:35.409
missing person cases. Hello everyone and welcome
00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:37.869
back to Cold and Missing. I'm your host, Ali .
00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:40.390
And I'm your co -host, Eli. Welcome back, everyone.
00:00:40.990 --> 00:00:42.950
Just a little housekeeping right at the top.
00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:45.990
Next week is Christmas. I believe Christmas Eve
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.850
is next Thursday, if I'm not mistaken. So we
00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:51.729
will be off next week. Eli and I are traveling
00:00:51.729 --> 00:00:54.729
for the holidays, seeing our family and our friends.
00:00:54.770 --> 00:01:00.350
So we will be busy doing that. I just know myself
00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:02.390
and we will not have time to get an episode up.
00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:04.430
So we'll be off next week, but we'll be back
00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:09.030
for 2026 on January 1st. And moving right back
00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:13.890
into this episode, we are on episode 151 this
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:17.290
week. That's right. And we are on a missing person
00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:21.750
case. All right, let's get into it. Today, we
00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:23.849
are talking about the missing person case of
00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:32.140
Kelly Dove. in Harrisonburg, Virginia. But first,
00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:35.480
a little bit about Kelly. Kelly Dove is just
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.680
20 years old in 1982. Kelly is a young wife and
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.439
a mother to a four -year -old daughter and a
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.980
sister, one of four sisters who all work together
00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:48.299
at the same place. Kelly was married to Dale
00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:51.340
Dove, who was 25 years old and worked in construction,
00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:54.799
and together they were building a life in Harrisonburg.
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.819
Kelly worked at the Imperial Gas Station located
00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:03.400
at 2141 South Main Street. And this job was very
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.599
familiar to her, as I previously mentioned. Her
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.379
other sisters worked there too, so it was a comfortable
00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:13.580
place. Night shifts were common for her. And
00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:16.379
like many women working alone on the overnight
00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:19.639
shifts in the early 1980s, Kelly was used to
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.699
some uncomfortable situations, unwanted attention
00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:26.819
or obscene phone calls. According to her sisters,
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.139
these were common occurrences at the gas station.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.400
Kelly's 21st birthday was just weeks away. She
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:38.300
would have turned 21 on August 30, 1982. And
00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:42.219
now, a timeline of events. Thursday, June 17,
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.479
1982. On Thursday night, Kelly reported to work
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.080
for the third shift at the Imperial Gas Station.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.639
Her husband, Dale, dropped her off around 10
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.879
o 'clock at night and stayed with her for about
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.120
an hour before leaving. He was there just hanging
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.300
out with her and chatting. According to him,
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.300
nothing seemed out of the ordinary. As the night
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:06.639
stretched on, Kelly was alone behind the counter.
00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:10.080
We know that she passed the time by reading magazines
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.560
from the newsstand. And slowly, the hours and
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.490
minutes creeped by. And Thursday night became
00:03:16.490 --> 00:03:21.289
Friday morning, June 18, 1982. Police say that
00:03:21.289 --> 00:03:24.030
they're able to account for Kelly's night, minute
00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:27.949
for minute, up until about 2 .15 a .m. What we
00:03:27.949 --> 00:03:32.090
do know is at 2 .27 a .m., Kelly picked up the
00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:34.689
phone and called the Harrisonburg Police Department.
00:03:35.090 --> 00:03:38.150
And police have actually released this 911 call,
00:03:38.310 --> 00:03:42.800
so we're going to play it here. Um, I'm working
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.759
the third shift at the Imperial Gas Station.
00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:49.020
I just had an obscene phone call. And this guy
00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:53.860
came in earlier, and he was kind of dressed improperly,
00:03:53.860 --> 00:03:55.740
but I kind of ignored him. I think it was that
00:03:55.740 --> 00:03:58.099
guy, because he just drove through the parking
00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:01.539
lot a few seconds before I got the call. Could,
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.599
you know, you have somebody kind of keep an eye
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.719
out on me? Okay, this is on... Main Street. South
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:20.000
Main? Uh -huh. So as you guys heard in this 911
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.459
call, Kelly doesn't sound panicked in the 911
00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:27.800
call. It's pretty matter -of -fact and solid,
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.879
but she is asking for someone to keep an eye
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.459
out on her. She's cautious, but calm. But just
00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:40.040
two minutes later, at 2 .29 a .m., Kelly calls
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.860
911 again. This time, her voice is faster, more
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:48.079
urgent, and the tape skips, according to those
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.240
that have heard it. She told the dispatcher that
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.339
the man was back in the parking lot. When the
00:04:54.339 --> 00:04:56.759
dispatcher asked what kind of car he was driving,
00:04:56.939 --> 00:04:59.639
Kelly answered, quote, a silver -colored Ford.
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.939
The dispatcher said officers would be notified.
00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:06.379
Kelly thanked them and hung up. According to
00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:08.519
Kelly's sister, Rose, who has listened to the
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.220
second 911 phone call, she says that you can
00:05:12.220 --> 00:05:15.600
hear a shuffle and then the phone abruptly snaps
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.220
at the end. This 911 call is the last confirmed
00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:23.639
contact anyone has with Kelly Dove. However,
00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:27.939
police arrive just minutes later. Her last 911
00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:31.439
call was at 229. And according to police reports,
00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:34.939
they pull up to the gas station at 2 .31 a .m.,
00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:38.540
so minutes later. However, Kelly is nowhere to
00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:41.740
be found. Inside the store, everything looked
00:05:41.740 --> 00:05:45.160
almost untouched. There were no signs of robbery.
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.439
In some reports, it's said that money was left
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.259
on the counter and all the cash remained in the
00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:54.079
cash register. The keys to the safe was still
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.920
in the office, and there were no signs of struggle
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.889
anywhere. Kelly's purse was left behind along
00:05:59.889 --> 00:06:02.870
with her cigarettes and money. The magazine she
00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:05.529
had been reading sat on the counter, folded open
00:06:05.529 --> 00:06:07.730
as if she had just stepped away for a moment.
00:06:08.689 --> 00:06:11.250
One of the officers working the case said that
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:13.129
it looked like somebody had just stepped into
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:15.230
the bathroom and would be back at any minute.
00:06:15.910 --> 00:06:18.750
At first, there's a panic and some confusion.
00:06:19.529 --> 00:06:21.949
Officers wonder if Kelly had been abducted in
00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:25.149
her own vehicle because there were no cars at
00:06:25.149 --> 00:06:28.069
the gas station at all. But when they spoke to
00:06:28.069 --> 00:06:31.649
her husband, Dale, they learned that Dale had
00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:33.649
dropped her off at 10 p .m., so there was no
00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:37.750
missing car. Really, the only thing missing from
00:06:37.750 --> 00:06:43.149
the gas station was Kelly. That night, as Dale
00:06:43.149 --> 00:06:45.829
learned that his wife was missing, he spent the
00:06:45.829 --> 00:06:48.550
entire evening just riding around the roads looking
00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:51.949
for any sign of Kelly. He said, quote, I know
00:06:51.949 --> 00:06:54.110
it's a wild goose chase, but it's better than
00:06:54.110 --> 00:06:58.319
just sitting around. The next day, Saturday,
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.920
June 19, 1982, so Kelly has been missing for
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.699
one day, police announced that they were looking
00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:07.720
for a man seen at another convenience store about
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.300
30 minutes before Kelly vanished. The man was
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:15.259
described as around 25 years old, about 5 '10",
00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:18.259
weighing roughly 150 pounds, with shoulder -length
00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:21.240
blonde hair. He was driving a late -modeled,
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.279
silver -colored car, possibly a Ford. Since Kelly
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.040
had mentioned the silver Ford, this is why police
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.540
think they're connected. But in addition, the
00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:34.420
clerk at the other store reported seeing a two
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:37.279
-tone silver car driving slowly around 2 a .m.,
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.399
circling the area several times. The clerk told
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.060
police that about two weeks earlier, a man driving
00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:47.819
a similar car had exposed himself to a woman
00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:50.850
working the night shift. Despite this description,
00:07:51.209 --> 00:07:53.550
police don't really get any solid leads here,
00:07:53.649 --> 00:07:56.649
but they do think that these two events are connected.
00:07:57.569 --> 00:08:02.050
On Wednesday, June 23rd, so it's been five days
00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:04.990
since Kelly vanished, and police admit that they
00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:08.490
have no solid leads. Kelly's sister Debbie spoke
00:08:08.490 --> 00:08:11.209
to the media, explaining that obscene phone calls
00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:13.750
and sexual harassment were common when women
00:08:13.750 --> 00:08:16.410
worked the night shift. She said, quote, we get
00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:20.069
those all the time. Kelly's family searched constantly,
00:08:20.350 --> 00:08:23.470
scanning parking lots, watching for silver cars,
00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:26.310
looking for any man who matched the description.
00:08:27.050 --> 00:08:31.149
However, no real solid leads or suspects pop
00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:34.490
up. Really, the only thing that anybody has at
00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:36.549
this moment is hope that they'll find Kelly.
00:08:37.370 --> 00:08:41.710
On Thursday, July 29th, so it's been 41 days
00:08:41.710 --> 00:08:44.509
that Kelly has been missing. With each day, police
00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:46.870
privately worried that Kelly would not be found
00:08:46.870 --> 00:08:50.350
alive. Her family, however, held on to hope that
00:08:50.350 --> 00:08:53.610
she would come home. Investigators believed that
00:08:53.610 --> 00:08:55.950
the abduction happened in seconds, considering
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:58.850
how tight the timeline is between that last phone
00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:01.350
call and when police say they arrived at the
00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:04.490
scene. The phone Kelly had used to call police
00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:08.049
was just 10 feet from the front door. They theorized
00:09:08.049 --> 00:09:10.029
that a man pulled directly up to the entrance,
00:09:10.330 --> 00:09:14.230
got out, and forced Kelly into the car. and they
00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:17.429
believe the attacker was armed. Police say, quote,
00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:24.950
During the last month of investigation, investigators
00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:28.169
focused heavily on men with prior sex crime convictions.
00:09:28.629 --> 00:09:31.789
Given the obscene phone calls and the sexual
00:09:31.789 --> 00:09:34.110
harassment of the encounter, police believed
00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:37.570
that the crime could be sexually motivated. Police
00:09:37.570 --> 00:09:41.240
noted that since Kelly's disappearance, The gas
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.059
station had only received one obscene phone call
00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:47.080
since she disappeared. Police say that they're
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.580
scrutinizing every detail, going back over Kelly's
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.940
911 calls, even questioning what Kelly could
00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:57.879
have seen. Quote, When Kelly Dove called, did
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.639
she see a silver -colored Ford? Was it silver?
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.279
Dark gray? She wore glasses, was looking through
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.679
tinted glass into a light. So police are really
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.169
questioning. everything about the statement,
00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:13.450
trying to find a lead. However, police are determined,
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:15.850
quote, we're not about to throw the towel in.
00:10:16.389 --> 00:10:18.330
Sooner or later, we're going to get a break on
00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:23.970
it. However, months begin to go by. In January
00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:27.169
of 1983, so over six months now that Kelly has
00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:31.090
been missing, police acknowledge what her family
00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:34.309
has feared, that they believe Kelly is dead at
00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:38.460
this point. Investigators even theorize that
00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:40.700
they believe that she's buried within 50 miles
00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:42.940
of the gas station, but really don't have any
00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:47.399
proof to hang this on. The FBI has joined the
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.980
case as advisors, but still there's real no breakthrough
00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:55.580
in the case. In 1989, so it's been seven years
00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:58.200
since Kelly vanished, and she's legally declared
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:02.419
dead. And still... No leads in the case, no suspects
00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:05.139
are named, and the case continues to get colder
00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:10.120
and colder. In 1993, so it's been over 11 years
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.320
at this point, and Kelly's family publicly criticized
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.019
the original investigation. Her mother said she
00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:19.500
believed police bungled the case from the beginning.
00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:22.679
She claimed that on the night Kelly was taken,
00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:25.919
the gas station was never properly secured, that
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.080
customers were still walking in and out thinking
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.230
the place was open. Kelly's sister, Elaine, said,
00:11:32.309 --> 00:11:34.889
quote, There was no police tape up. They weren't
00:11:34.889 --> 00:11:37.070
doing fingerprints. Customers still thought it
00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:41.149
was open. She said that she was told fingerprints
00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:43.470
weren't taken because there would have been too
00:11:43.470 --> 00:11:51.950
many at the scene. She says, quote, That same
00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:56.090
year, in 1993, The newspaper article suggested
00:11:56.090 --> 00:11:59.250
a possible connection between Kelly's disappearance
00:11:59.250 --> 00:12:02.649
and the murder of Paula Jean Chandler and the
00:12:02.649 --> 00:12:05.570
abduction and murder of 12 -year -old Katie Warsky.
00:12:06.509 --> 00:12:09.409
All three crimes happened within weeks of each
00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:13.350
other. Kelly vanished June 18th, Paula vanished
00:12:13.350 --> 00:12:16.929
June 19th, and her body was found just days later.
00:12:17.330 --> 00:12:20.470
And then Katie Warsky went missing just under
00:12:20.470 --> 00:12:23.820
a month later on July 12th. The article named
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:26.120
a man who had never been interviewed in Kelly's
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.259
case, Glenn Barker. Barker had been convicted
00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:34.259
of the murder of Katie Worski, whose body has
00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:36.659
never been recovered, so he was tried without
00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:41.000
a body. But at the time in 1982, when Kelly vanished,
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.620
Barker drove a silver to dark gray, both colors
00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:50.279
have been described, 1965 Ford Falcon. However,
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.620
after Kelly's disappearance, he painted the car
00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:57.659
blue. Furthermore, Barker had previously been
00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:01.240
charged in 1981, so two years before Kelly's
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.019
disappearance, with assaulting an 18 -year -old
00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.279
girl at knife point, so he has a history of violent
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.399
crime against women. Police say in 1993 that
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.919
Barker had never been interviewed by Harrisburg
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.279
police regarding Kelly's disappearance, despite...
00:13:17.629 --> 00:13:20.409
him driving a similar car to what Kelly described
00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:23.870
and what the other gas station clerk said. And
00:13:23.870 --> 00:13:27.250
Barker fit the description of the man seen about
00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:29.570
30 minutes before Kelly vanished at the other
00:13:29.570 --> 00:13:33.090
convenience store. During March of 1993, Barker
00:13:33.090 --> 00:13:36.110
was arrested again during a traffic stop. Police
00:13:36.110 --> 00:13:39.509
found a pellet gun resembling a pistol in his
00:13:39.509 --> 00:13:42.990
car, which he wasn't allowed to have. And underneath
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:45.370
his car seat, they found a pair of handcuffs.
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.899
After the newspaper publishes this article that
00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:52.879
Barker could be connected to Kelly's disappearance,
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.679
police announce that they're reopening the investigation
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.899
and they intend to look into this connection.
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.460
However, I couldn't find any updates, so I do
00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:06.960
assume that police had talked to Barker at that
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.799
point in 1993 or shortly thereafter, but there's
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.860
never any updates. or if police officially were
00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:16.860
able to rule him out of the investigation, or
00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:19.940
if he's still considered a suspect. However,
00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:23.700
whatever information that they learn in 1993
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:27.700
or thereafter doesn't really seem to make any
00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:31.320
big commotion in the case. The case goes cold
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.759
and really falls out of the media after that.
00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:38.049
The next big update comes in 2020 when police
00:14:38.049 --> 00:14:40.470
announce that they're reopening the investigation
00:14:40.470 --> 00:14:42.470
again. So they're going to look into Kelly's
00:14:42.470 --> 00:14:46.269
disappearance again. And over the next few years,
00:14:46.470 --> 00:14:50.429
there are some periodic updates. So in June of
00:14:50.429 --> 00:14:53.669
2022, investigators announced that they had narrowed
00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:56.610
down their suspect list from four people to just
00:14:56.610 --> 00:14:59.940
one. However, almost like in the same breath
00:14:59.940 --> 00:15:02.620
as saying they have this one suspect, they acknowledge
00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:05.539
the possibility that Kelly's case could be part
00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:07.559
of a larger pattern and they could be dealing
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.179
with an outside serial killer. So it might not
00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:13.360
even be the suspect that they're looking at.
00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:16.299
So they're pretty vague and they don't name the
00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:20.179
suspect in the case. In 2023, Kelly's sister
00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:23.279
Elaine spoke about the weight of waiting. She
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.200
says, quote, you have to have hope. There's nothing
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.759
else you can do. Investigators say that the biggest
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:34.159
challenge now is evidence, degraded DNA specifically.
00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:37.659
Police need to be careful with what evidence
00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:40.940
they do send away because it's been over 40 years
00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:43.500
since Kelly's disappearance. So a lot of the
00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:47.240
DNA could have just been destroyed over the years.
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.940
just won't be a good sample. So that is a challenge
00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:53.299
that they're facing. But it does sound like there
00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:57.259
could be some DNA in this case, or at least potentially
00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:59.500
some things that could be tested for DNA, it
00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:04.379
sounds like. Police say in 2023 that they are
00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:07.200
closer than ever. And when they talk about this
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.620
case, and they're still saying that there's just
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:12.500
one suspect in the case, they still declined
00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:15.659
to name him in 2023, but they talk very confidently
00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:18.720
about the case. saying things along the line
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.159
of what they know and what they're able to prove
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.700
are two different things. So it sounds like police
00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:26.960
have a very strong theory of what happened and
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.059
something that they believe is the truth, but
00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:31.940
they're not able to prove it at this point with
00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:33.580
evidence. So it looks like they're still missing
00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:36.799
something to really bring this case home. So
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.879
with that, if you have any information about
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.480
the disappearance of Kelly Dove in 1982 or her
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.389
whereabouts today, please call the Harrisonburg
00:16:46.389 --> 00:16:53.889
Police Department at 540 -437 -2650. So that
00:16:53.889 --> 00:16:57.590
is the missing person case of Kelly Dove. I feel
00:16:57.590 --> 00:16:59.929
a bit more comfortable just jumping right into
00:16:59.929 --> 00:17:02.950
the timeline of Kelly's disappearance because
00:17:02.950 --> 00:17:06.829
throughout the questions I ask you, I will be
00:17:06.829 --> 00:17:11.950
talking about both Kelly's character and personality.
00:17:14.250 --> 00:17:16.470
More than anything, and I know we got to hear
00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:19.309
the first 911 call, more than anything, I would
00:17:19.309 --> 00:17:23.089
love to hear the second one because it sounds
00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:28.529
like to me and how family spoke about it, that
00:17:28.529 --> 00:17:30.950
auditorily you maybe would have been able to
00:17:30.950 --> 00:17:33.930
hear or gain some sense of what was happening
00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:37.430
with her and around her in those final moments
00:17:37.430 --> 00:17:41.170
before the phone cut off. Yeah, I agree. We get
00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:43.430
to hear the first one, which I think is great
00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:48.430
information, just hearing how calm she is and
00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:49.970
kind of matter of fact during that first phone
00:17:49.970 --> 00:17:53.769
call. But I agree. I would like to hear the second
00:17:53.769 --> 00:17:56.950
one. And according to the family, you can hear
00:17:56.950 --> 00:18:00.470
something right at the end, like a scuffle, shuffling,
00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:05.829
and then the phone kind of snapping off. So I
00:18:05.829 --> 00:18:09.660
think there is. evidence in that second phone
00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:12.779
call for sure. Even if the tape skips and like
00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:16.039
maybe cuts out a little bit, I think there's
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.140
strong evidence in that second phone call. Another
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:22.259
question I had, which was confirmed in your timeline
00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:26.579
later, was did you think that someone approached
00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:30.519
her with a weapon? And what the context clues
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.220
I used to reach that confirmation was the state.
00:18:34.670 --> 00:18:36.910
that the store was in that it looked almost like
00:18:36.910 --> 00:18:40.170
she just stepped away from what she was doing.
00:18:40.410 --> 00:18:44.250
So I think, yes, that someone approached her
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:46.470
with a weapon because that's the only way she
00:18:46.470 --> 00:18:49.809
was going to leave. I said I would speak about
00:18:49.809 --> 00:18:52.789
her character and like someone else confirmed,
00:18:52.930 --> 00:18:55.150
she sounded really scrappy, like she could handle
00:18:55.150 --> 00:18:57.569
herself. She was someone who was working this
00:18:57.569 --> 00:19:00.789
third shift regularly and was no stranger to
00:19:00.789 --> 00:19:07.819
the pretty regular abhorrent behavior of men
00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:10.819
during the 3 a .m. shift. And I'm sure some of
00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:12.799
our listeners are no stranger to that behavior
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.099
as well. If you've worked third shift before,
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:19.380
I know you are not a stranger to it as my wife.
00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:23.059
I've been witness to it while, you know, doing
00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:25.960
exactly what her husband was doing, hanging out
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.799
with you during your first hour or last hour
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.519
of a second shift or third shift. And I would
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.880
witness that behavior. So, yeah, I agree with
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.119
law enforcement's take on that, that whoever
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.920
approached her and disappeared her most likely
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.220
had a weapon. Yeah. You know, Kelly is really
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:50.720
scrappy. And I think, you know, like you mentioned,
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.140
I've worked overnight shifts where I'm, you know,
00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:57.279
working at a place at 3 a .m. And my mom also
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.039
she used to work at a gas station overnight like
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.220
this exact job. And it just takes like. a scrappier
00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:07.279
gal to work at. That's always going to be the
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.019
case, I think, is that a scrappier girl is going
00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:13.039
to take the job. So I think that's true in Kelly's
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.200
case, is that she could handle her own. And so
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.480
the only way someone was getting her away from
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.059
the gas station quickly, quietly, and without
00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:27.079
a fight was with a strong weapon. So I do agree
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.180
with police here. And yeah, I think that's the
00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:32.000
right conclusion. Especially considering the
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.900
state of the store, I think if somebody had just
00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:37.700
tried to grab her, she would have really fought
00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:39.359
and there would have been a mess left at the
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.940
store for the police to find because they're
00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:44.700
there just minutes later. So, yeah, I think it's
00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:47.079
a weapon and I do think it's a gun in this case.
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:54.720
Just to pivot quickly to Kelly's husband, I just
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.309
really feel for him. They were so young and were
00:20:58.309 --> 00:21:02.069
just really getting their life started. And his
00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:06.289
reaction is, I think, exactly how I would behave.
00:21:06.549 --> 00:21:08.769
Like, I would just start looking for you. I wouldn't
00:21:08.769 --> 00:21:12.690
really wait or listen to anyone, I think. I think
00:21:12.690 --> 00:21:18.549
my response would be exactly what his was. And
00:21:18.549 --> 00:21:21.849
I really think he put his all into trying to
00:21:21.849 --> 00:21:25.650
find his wife. Yeah, my heart just really goes
00:21:25.650 --> 00:21:28.529
out to him because I think he married into such
00:21:28.529 --> 00:21:31.150
a beautiful family and it sounded like they were
00:21:31.150 --> 00:21:34.849
just beginning to build what the rest of their
00:21:34.849 --> 00:21:37.650
lives would look like together. Yeah, I think
00:21:37.650 --> 00:21:40.029
when he says like it's, you know, I know it's
00:21:40.029 --> 00:21:41.509
a wild goose chase, but it's like better than
00:21:41.509 --> 00:21:44.390
sitting around. It's loosely what he says. I'm
00:21:44.390 --> 00:21:45.950
not I don't think I'm quoting verbatim there,
00:21:46.069 --> 00:21:49.150
but I think that's it. Like if, you know, someone
00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:51.950
that you love is missing, like I think it would
00:21:51.950 --> 00:21:55.859
feel in. sane to just like sit I like I'd want
00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:58.160
to jump out of my skin I'd want to just be moving
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.059
and looking and running my eyes over things just
00:22:01.059 --> 00:22:06.039
trying to like find the person that I love and
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.819
you know they have a young daughter too that
00:22:08.819 --> 00:22:11.460
I know this must have been so confusing for and
00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:13.779
really difficult to grow up without your mom
00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:17.339
there so yeah this whole family like my heart
00:22:17.339 --> 00:22:22.890
just breaks for them because Kelly Seems like
00:22:22.890 --> 00:22:25.009
such an amazing person, and it's so unfair that
00:22:25.009 --> 00:22:28.390
she didn't get to finish what she started, you
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:30.049
know, raising her daughter, her marriage. You
00:22:30.049 --> 00:22:31.509
know, she didn't get to finish those things that
00:22:31.509 --> 00:22:35.069
she started, and I hate that for her and those
00:22:35.069 --> 00:22:40.390
that love her. With hearing the first 911 call,
00:22:40.650 --> 00:22:45.569
I have heard this tone in your voice when you
00:22:45.569 --> 00:22:49.599
have been dealing with difficult men. I have
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:51.940
heard this tone, and in that first phone call,
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.380
you know, she sounds, she's aware and alert,
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.079
concerned as to what's happening, but she sounds
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:05.700
over it. To me, she did not sound panicked or
00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:09.039
super nervous, but it also didn't sound like
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.559
she knew who the person was. And that's something
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:16.039
that I just wanted to... take extra note of was
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:20.519
this person wasn't recognizable to her. Not that
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:25.279
she got like a full confirmation, but in that
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.019
911 call, she didn't give like a full description.
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.559
So as far as I'm concerned, I don't think she
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.940
knew who the person was, but I think that maybe
00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:40.539
he knew who she was, or at least aware that a
00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:43.880
woman was guaranteed going to be working at that.
00:23:44.650 --> 00:23:48.789
gas station that evening. And that brings me
00:23:48.789 --> 00:23:52.950
to my next question is, do you think that the
00:23:52.950 --> 00:23:57.630
person that most likely disappeared her, do you
00:23:57.630 --> 00:24:00.650
think this was someone that had their eyes on
00:24:00.650 --> 00:24:04.650
the gas station location and was counting on
00:24:04.650 --> 00:24:08.990
maybe even Kelly herself being there, but at
00:24:08.990 --> 00:24:11.789
least for sure that a woman would be working
00:24:11.789 --> 00:24:15.920
that evening? It's a great question. For me,
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:20.180
I think my mind goes to the other convenience
00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:23.640
store a little bit, where at around 2 a .m.,
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.559
so roughly a half hour before Kelly starts to
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:31.400
do the 911 calls, this guy was seen kind of circling
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.440
the parking lot, and it matched the description
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.000
of a guy who had been harassing a woman who was
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.059
working there a few nights before, maybe a few
00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:42.940
weeks before, something like that. I almost wonder
00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:48.579
and like if this guy who did this, if his intent
00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:53.039
was this other gas station and he like kind of
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.920
had his like eyes set on a particular person
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.140
there. But like they shifted around the work
00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:02.039
schedules because of this harassment that was
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.319
happening. So men were working the night shift.
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.779
And so was he like just going out committed?
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:13.029
He was going to do this thing. And then his like
00:25:13.029 --> 00:25:15.069
a wrench was thrown into his plan. So now he's
00:25:15.069 --> 00:25:17.829
just driving around trying to find a gas station
00:25:17.829 --> 00:25:20.170
with a woman working. Or was this just his M
00:25:20.170 --> 00:25:22.269
.O.? Like he was going to do it at the first
00:25:22.269 --> 00:25:27.549
gas station that he I don't know. I. I take note
00:25:27.549 --> 00:25:31.329
of the fact that after. Kelly's disappearance,
00:25:31.569 --> 00:25:34.950
there's only like one obscene phone call. I would
00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:37.390
be curious if police think that's the same person
00:25:37.390 --> 00:25:42.130
who did this or is it just a random thing? I
00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:44.509
don't know. You know, it's a very vulnerable
00:25:44.509 --> 00:25:48.450
position to be working by yourself late at night
00:25:48.450 --> 00:25:52.509
at a gas station. Like I can only imagine how
00:25:52.509 --> 00:25:55.690
vulnerable that must feel. So really anyone who
00:25:55.690 --> 00:25:58.390
pulled up there could have just seen an opportunity
00:25:58.390 --> 00:26:07.029
and. acted on it. And we have no idea. It's so
00:26:07.029 --> 00:26:09.670
random, it feels like. But maybe it was targeted.
00:26:09.750 --> 00:26:12.309
Maybe somebody was watching. But I don't know.
00:26:12.690 --> 00:26:16.150
I did read in one report that Kelly might have
00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:19.210
picked up this shift from somebody else. It might
00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:21.750
have been one of her sisters. I only read that
00:26:21.750 --> 00:26:23.849
in one report. I didn't see that repeated a lot.
00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:26.539
So I'm not sure if that's factual. But if that
00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:28.720
is the case, then Kelly wasn't even supposed
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.680
to be working that night at all. So then that
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.299
almost leads me more towards like it was somebody
00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:36.420
who was looking for the opportunity and then
00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:41.940
found it. I understand that there are many reasons
00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:47.160
for declaring someone legally deceased after
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.160
a certain amount of time, especially in cases
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.859
like this. But this was a moment where my stomach
00:26:53.859 --> 00:27:00.490
just sank. And the fire under me to find answers
00:27:00.490 --> 00:27:06.789
became that much more raging because it seemed
00:27:06.789 --> 00:27:10.190
so soon that the declaration of her being deceased
00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:14.049
happened, even though it wasn't. It was multiple
00:27:14.049 --> 00:27:19.690
years, seven years, I think you said. But I want
00:27:19.690 --> 00:27:23.849
answers. I want answers so badly for this family.
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.579
But in that part of the timeline, it's really
00:27:27.579 --> 00:27:35.240
where I started to lose a little bit of hope.
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.460
But hearing that they're still working in 2023
00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:46.539
gave me so much. It was a small breath of fresh
00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:51.160
air in the wake of something that's truly horrific.
00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:55.059
Yeah, I love to see that there is energy behind
00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:57.900
it. In the last five years, in the last six years,
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.440
we're really seeing some energy, resources, money
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.559
put towards Kelly's case because I do think it's
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.799
solvable. It seems like police are right there.
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.859
They're right on the cusp of making an arrest,
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.900
but they just need those little missing pieces,
00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:21.460
whatever that is. If it's DNA, I hope we get
00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:24.500
that DNA. If it's just like confirmation of like,
00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:29.000
oh, I, you know, 40 years ago, I said this person
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.039
was with me, but they actually weren't. You know,
00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:33.140
I lied about their alibi. Like, you know, something
00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:35.960
like that, that last little piece of information
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:39.259
that's just needed to close this case and get
00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:41.980
this family answers. I mean, they have been holding
00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:46.240
out and hoping for answers. And yeah, I mean,
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:50.650
it's always. I totally understand what you mean
00:28:50.650 --> 00:28:53.250
when like somebody is declared legally dead in
00:28:53.250 --> 00:28:55.869
these cases where they've been missing for so
00:28:55.869 --> 00:28:58.690
long because and families speak about this, too.
00:28:58.730 --> 00:29:00.650
It's like they're not giving up hope. They still
00:29:00.650 --> 00:29:05.150
desperately have hope that their loved one is
00:29:05.150 --> 00:29:07.920
out there. But most of the time it's like they
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:10.519
need to do this to move things forward, whether
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:13.140
that be like, you know, estate stuff, social
00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:15.220
security benefits for children. So sometimes
00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:17.200
it's like legally it's just like the next thing
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:21.539
that has to happen. But it's so I can't even
00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:23.980
imagine that feeling that the family must wrestle
00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:27.839
with to do it and to make that declaration, because
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:31.339
I'm sure so many would love to have like a caveat
00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:33.480
on it. It's like, yes, we're doing this, but
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.400
we hope she's still alive. I feel like that's
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:39.619
what every family is saying when they do this.
00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:46.279
Now, I do want to bring up Barker. And I guess
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.940
this is more speculation on our end, but the
00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:53.920
moment you brought him up, he seemed like a very
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.599
probable suspect to me, especially the detail
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:02.250
about painting the car. I wanted to know. what
00:30:02.250 --> 00:30:06.049
your take was and if you think in at least as
00:30:06.049 --> 00:30:09.509
far as you know as recent as 2023 goes do you
00:30:09.509 --> 00:30:13.549
think that he's maybe someone who is um on that
00:30:13.549 --> 00:30:18.559
list of probable suspects yeah i think I think
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.339
Barker is really suspicious and like specifically
00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:23.259
to what you point to, like the painting of the
00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:27.220
car, because for the murder that he was convicted
00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:30.380
in, if I'm not mistaken, he paints the car before
00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:32.799
that murder. So it's like, why are you doing
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.740
that if you haven't murdered somebody yet? I
00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:39.950
believe that's right in the timeline, but. If
00:30:39.950 --> 00:30:43.349
police have been able to rule him out, I feel
00:30:43.349 --> 00:30:45.210
like they should come out and say like we've
00:30:45.210 --> 00:30:47.869
ruled him out, especially when like the paper
00:30:47.869 --> 00:30:50.369
is kind of publicly calling it out and like making
00:30:50.369 --> 00:30:52.289
these connections between these three cases.
00:30:52.769 --> 00:30:55.269
It just seems like the responsible thing to do
00:30:55.269 --> 00:30:58.230
would be if you 100 percent ruled it out, then
00:30:58.230 --> 00:31:01.089
like just say not considered a suspect for X,
00:31:01.210 --> 00:31:05.599
Y, Z reason. But because they haven't done that
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:07.160
and they've never really mentioned him again
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:09.559
after, you know, the newspaper kind of calls
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.519
him out, I wonder if he's still on that list
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:14.579
and they're trying to kind of protect the investigation
00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:19.539
a little bit. They say they limited the suspect
00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:25.579
pool from four to one. I don't know if he's included
00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:29.519
in that four, the one. I'm not sure. But we don't
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.450
have any of the names of it. But hopefully in
00:31:32.450 --> 00:31:35.529
this case, we do get answers. Kelly's family
00:31:35.529 --> 00:31:37.829
gets the answers that they're looking for, and
00:31:37.829 --> 00:31:40.490
they're able to bring Kelly home ultimately and
00:31:40.490 --> 00:31:43.930
give her a proper resting place, which the family
00:31:43.930 --> 00:31:46.490
so desperately wants to do. So again, if you
00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:48.269
have any information about the disappearance
00:31:48.269 --> 00:31:52.269
of Kelly Dove in 1982 or her whereabouts today,
00:31:52.509 --> 00:31:54.869
please call the Harrisonburg Police Department
00:31:54.869 --> 00:32:01.670
at 540 -437 -2650. And we will have pictures
00:32:01.670 --> 00:32:04.470

seen at the convenience store. 30 minutes beforehand,
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.700
but police think is connected. We will have that
00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:16.740
suspect sketch as well on our Instagram at coldandmissing.

00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:52.759
if you have the time today, if you could leave
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.119
us a five -star review, it really goes a long
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.720
way in getting this podcast in front of other
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.920
folks. who might be interested in it. So please,
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:02.880
if you could do that, if you've never heard of
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.759
Kelly's case, give us a five -star review for
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.259
cases you've never heard about. So give us that
00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:10.200
review and that gets Kelly's case out there.
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:13.579
Bing bang boom, you are doing advocacy work for
00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:16.519
missing person cases, cold cases. So thank you
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.140
so much for doing that. Appreciate you so much.
00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:21.000
And the kind words whenever you write one, oh,
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.200
makes my heart sore. So thank you so much. They
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.450
really do mean so much to us. especially to Allie.
00:33:28.490 --> 00:33:31.369
She works so incredibly hard on this podcast
00:33:31.369 --> 00:33:35.309
week after week. And when she comes into whatever
00:33:35.309 --> 00:33:38.210
room I'm in in our house, tinkering with something
00:33:38.210 --> 00:33:41.549
and shows me a review, it brings me so much joy
00:33:41.549 --> 00:33:45.329
and tells me that the mission that we have here
00:33:45.329 --> 00:33:49.809
with Cold and Missing is coming to full fruition.
00:33:49.950 --> 00:33:52.089
You guys are doing exactly what we want you to
00:33:52.089 --> 00:33:55.190
do as listeners, which is... amplify these cases
00:33:55.190 --> 00:33:57.269
and share them with the rest of the world. So
00:33:57.269 --> 00:34:00.289
thank you so much. But that is all I have for
00:34:00.289 --> 00:34:02.529
you this week. Thank you so much for listening
00:34:02.529 --> 00:34:05.470
to Cold and Missing. I'm your host, Allie. And
00:34:05.470 --> 00:34:08.130
I'm your co -host, Eli. Have a good week and
00:34:08.130 --> 00:34:10.190
stay safe, y 'all. Stay safe, y 'all.
