0:00.0	Welcome back to Avery After Dark.
0:12.4	I'm your host, Avery Ross, and today we're talking about an unsolved disappearance.
0:19.2	I myself get really invested in unsolved cases because there's still that
0:26.6	big question mark. And it's kind of like you have a bunch of puzzle pieces laying in front of
0:33.7	you and you are determined to be the one that can put it all together.

2:20.8	field but I think especially in network news the hours that some of these anchors get are
2:28.2	pretty rough like waking up at like two or three in the morning and then having to kind of catch up on your sleep all day
