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

0:47.0

I'm doing fantastic today, Tim. I hope everyone out there who's listening, doing as fantastic as well.

0:54.0

But before we get to this incredible mystery, this really tragic and bizarre story, Tim, how are you?

1:01.0

I'm doing all right. Thanks a lot for asking. Yeah, this is a really interesting case that we are covering today.

1:07.0

It is about the unsolved murder of Sarah Hunter from Manchester Vermont.

1:13.0

And this research was brought to us by Kathleen Studer. Big thanks to Kathleen.

1:19.0

We've been covering a lot of cases from New England, Vermont, and New Hampshire, of course, lately.

1:26.0

And that's because of our new podcast, Dark Valley. And this case took place during a similar time period to the cases in Dark Valley.

1:36.0

So this is another one that we're just trying to unpack before we go any further with the podcast, Dark Valley.

1:45.0

Yeah, it's a good point. And as we've been working on Dark Valley and Jennifer Amel, who's taken the lead on that, as she's been investigating working with family members, working with Jane Boroski, the last surviving attack victim of the Valley killer, we've started to identify these other individuals who have these stories that are kind of similar to the ones of the people that Jen and Jane have been looking into for the focus of Dark Valley, the podcast.

2:09.0

So in a sense, we've kind of unintentionally been expanding this dark Valley universe and decided that it was important to tell these stories as well.

2:17.0

They might not be related to the Valley killings, but they are no less tragic and important to talk about.

2:24.0

Absolutely. And we're going to get into Sarah's case in just a little bit.

2:28.0
