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.

00:00:24.209 --> 00:00:27.190
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

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

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.
