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

I'm doing fantastic today, Tim. We're bringing back a topic that listeners are most likely familiar with, which is exciting because that means we eventually will have an update.

So that makes me feel great. I hope everyone out there is feeling great. How are you?

I'm doing great. Thanks a lot for asking. And Lance, the following episode was released originally here on the Missing Channel on May 19th, 2022.

We are re-airing it with this new intro because we have a part two that's coming later this week on Thursday with Suzanne and Mel, who are both a part of this conversation.

In it, we talk about Missing Person Patricia Lee Otto, who went missing from Lewiston, Idaho on August 31st, 1976.

And we also speak about the Finley Creek Jane Doe, who is found on August 27th, 1978 near Elgin, Oregon. And we talk about the possibility of these cases being connected.

That's right. And it's important for us to replay this episode because if you just got the second episode without hearing this one and refreshing your memory, you'll probably have to catch up a bit and go back and search for this episode.

So here it is so that you're prepared for the second episode because there's so much to it. There are so many threads that go through these stories. You really do need to keep track of everything.

Okay, we're going to break quick for commercial and we'll be right back with our interview with Suzanne Mel and Jason.

Welcome to the podcast Suzanne Mel and Jason. How are you today?

Wonderful. Thank you so much. Glad to be here.

Well, glad to have you and really, really glad that you're coming on to talk about this case that you've been working on for a while and all the information that you have on it.

This case is really wild. I'd like to go through and if everyone can kind of introduce themselves and tell us what part of this case you're working on, if we can start with Suzanne.

So I'm Suzanne Tim's and I'm the daughter of Trisha Otto. So I have been technically working on this case since I was three years old, obviously, but became mostly involved in June of 2021 when I discovered the forensic image of family Creek Jane dope.

And I can go from there. My name is Mel and I'm the admin for the family Creek Jane do an identified person Facebook page and Suzanne made contact with me in June, like she said, based on some forensic art that was posted on that page that she saw and that came to us because of a contact that Jason had.

And I'm Jason Futch. I'm an investigative journalist for J.P.F. Productions and M the host of From the Vault, a true crime podcast and the upcoming Swan Valley unsolved set for a summertime release this year.

And I was able to connect with Mel because I had done some some pretty decent research on the family Creek case.

It was after someone from web sleuths had suggested the case to me and so I put all the information that I had that I had received and I posted it on crime watchers and that is where Mel's family discovered a lot of my research and that's pretty much how we became connected.

Suzanne, I'm so sorry for your loss. Can you tell us a little bit about your mom?

I wish I could. Honestly, I'm learning who my mother was through this investigation because I was so young when she disappeared.
