Welcome you guys to In the Mind of Frasch, all about interviews, experiences, and entrepreneurs.

Last week's episode was particularly touching. I got some very nice emails and messages from you all.

I featured Valencia Harris, who was a mom on a mission. Her daughter, Unique, went missing seven years ago at the age of 24. She was abducted in the middle of the night from her southeast apartment with her two little boys sleeping in a room right next to her. To this day, her case has never been solved. You heard a very passionate woman last week, Valencia. She said that when this case first happened,

she felt abandoned. And she also said that over the years, she's had to be her own advocate.

But a lot of that has changed. Now in 2017, there's one man that she gives credit for,

for really helping her get closer to answers as to what happened to unique. And that is

Washington, D.C. Police Chief, Chief Newsham.

Chief Newsham agreed to sit down with us for his very first podcast interview to find out

where they're at with this case and finding and bringing some resolution to Unique's story.

And also, we asked Chief Newsom about new detectives on the case. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad

thing? And of course, why is it important for Chief Newsham to bring attention to and focus on

cold cases when they take a lot of time and resources? So all that is right now on In the Mind of Fras.

So Valencia Harris was on my podcast this week and talking about the disappearance of her daughter, Unique Harris, in 2010. And she said

amazing things about you. She's very grateful for you. Because she said that you have a renewed

interest in cold cases.

So I wanted to interview you today to find out why that's become so important for you.

Well, you know, Valencia, her story in particular is heartbreaking.

I think any person who is a parent can empathize with what she's going through.

You know, she has a young daughter with two young children who disappears and she doesn't

have any answers.

There are so many stories like that.

There's so many unsolved homicides in the District of Columbia.
