Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?

It's going fantastic today. It's been a heck of a week hasn't it?

It has.

Well, it's been a roller coaster. I hope everyone out there has had a good week. Tim, we've had our ups and downs this week. Where have you landed?

I'm doing great Lance. I am happy to bring our fine audience this episode, this heartfelt conversation with the mom of Jessica Stacks.

Our guest today, her name is Kathy. And we're speaking about the disappearance of her daughter, Jessica Stacks, who went missing on New Year's Day in 2021 from the Tallahatchee River in New Albany, Mississippi.

And while the disappearance of Jessica is indeed tragic, the interview and the conversation that we have with her mom, that you're about to hear is an incredible glimpse into the raw pain that someone feels when they are dealing with these circumstances.

You mentioned that she disappeared on January 1st, 2021. So this is still new to Kathy. I mean, these wounds don't heal in a year and a half. They don't heal in five years. They sometimes never heal.

And our listeners get the opportunity right now to understand the pain that someone goes through. I mean, the emotion in this interview is if you were to score it on a one to 10, it's like a 12.

And Kathy is frustrated with law enforcement and desperate for answers. Jessica's boyfriend at the time did not report Jessica missing has still not spoken with Kathy tragic case. It's an emotional episode.

And if you have any information, you can call 662-534-1943.

And it's one of the episodes where I personally wish that someone who is responsible for this or somebody investigating it or somebody who has information actually hears this because if you have any sort of connection to Jessica's disappearance and you hear her mom, you are missing something in yourself if you don't reach out to try to help her.

And if you haven't heard part one, make sure to scroll back and listen to that that gives a good overview of the case. This is a little bit of a deeper peek into Jessica's disappearance.

I love meditation. Lance, have you ever benefited personally from meditation?

You know that I've had a lot of trouble meditating. My brain would just keep racing. I couldn't do it. But our partner, Jen, is really into meditation and I asked her, how did you do it?

You know, Lance, I had the same problem. My mind was always racing too. And it takes a lot of practice definitely, but I discovered this amazing podcast. It's called Sleep Meditation for Women Daily. And it's perfect for those women whose mind races at night. Those women who battle with insomnia or just love being guided to sleep.

Well, Jen, what makes these meditations stand out for you?

Sleep meditation for women daily is really easy to find on any podcast app you use. And I particularly love the music that they use and the voice of the narrator is very, very soothing and it's well paced.

It sounds awesome, Jen, but my concern would be that I hear one of the meditations. I hear another one and then they all just kind of start to sound the same. And all of the issues that I experience when I try to meditate aren't addressed.
