0:30.0	Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?
0:37.6	I'm doing fantastic today Tim. I've been really looking forward to our listeners experiencing
0:41.6	this conversation that we have with this individual on this episode because it is probably
0:46.0	one of the more genuine conversations we've had in recent memory with somebody who's been
0:51.2	directly affected for decades in regards to a missing person, especially a missing mother.
0:57.7	Before we get to that, Tim, how are you today?
1:01.0	I am doing great thanks a lot for asking. Yeah, I think as soon as we spoke with Matt Dail,
1:06.8	who is our guest on today's episode, I think we both realized how rare and important
1:13.1	sharing this conversation is because he is the son of Granby girl, otherwise known as Patricia
1:20.5	and Tucker, who was 28 years old when she went missing and she was found off of the road
1:27.9	in Granby, Massachusetts in 1978 and she has only recently been identified as Patricia and Tucker.
1:37.8	So for decades, she was a Jane Doe in Massachusetts. Matt now lives in a different state,

1:52.7	through when he realized what was happening in this conversation. And the Granby girl, Patricia
1:57.2	and Tucker hit a little bit close to home for us as well because this is Massachusetts, we're both
2:01.5	in Massachusetts and we both work closely with and friends with Lou Berry who is a police chief
2:06.8	in Granby, Massachusetts for a number of years. He wasn't the police chief during the time of
2:11.3	Patricia Tucker's murder, but that murder had this residual effect on the town, even though he came
2:17.4	in a little bit later, people were obviously still talking about that. The Gravestone marker just
2:22.2	said unknown on it now it can have a name. So he's just woven into the fabric of the community. So we
2:29.4	had a little bit of a personal connection there and the one thing I really recognize is being a
2:33.7	unique opportunity that we're very fortunate to get at this point in this true crime career that we
