0:30.0	Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?
0:34.5	I'm doing fantastic today Tim. The episode that we have coming up is a really
0:40.2	frustrating one. You can hear in our voices as we're going through the details
0:43.2	of this disgusting horrific crime, this murder of a young woman in Vermont. But
0:49.9	before we get into all that Tim, let's start it off on a good note. Let's hear

1:52.6	similar if Melissa Jenkins didn't take a couple of precautions and in a way
1:58.7	solve her own murder. Yeah, we'll get to those precautions that she took. But
2:03.1	you're right. This is a really fascinating crime in the sense that it has all

2:12.3	son was in the car with her who ended up giving a form of description of what
