0:00.0	I'm I'm In this episode of Crawl Space, which is a replay from a recent episode of Missing,
0:34.3	we speak with Kathy Tar about the disappearances of Roy Profogle and Melissa Lane.
0:40.4	And Kathy Tar runs a fantastic nonprofit called the Fowler-O-Sullivan Foundation, which searches
0:47.1	for missing hikers. And she's come back on the show today here, Lance, to tell us about
0:52.5	two disappearances from the same geographical area.
0:57.0	And she's really kind of breaking news to us because these two missing people knew each other.
1:02.7	So what do you think of this conversation?
1:04.5	Well, first, I loved it that she reached out to us in the first place because we met her at
1:08.7	CrimeCon. This is the gift of CrimeCon that just keeps on

1:38.5	disappearances that in her words, she's not investigating them. She just saw that they were getting no coverage, and there's just something weird here
1:47.5	in regards to both of these people independently missing, but they knew each other.
1:53.8	And they went missing within three months of each other.
1:56.1	And they all sort of came from the same circle of people in that area. So yeah, there is something really
2:03.2	interesting and eyebrow raising here. And she does such a great job detailing out what could have
2:10.3	been a super convoluted story. But she goes through it so well. So I can't wait for people to
2:16.4	listen to this. Yeah, she's fantastic.
2:18.6	And so the missing folks that we are speaking about are Melissa Lane, who went missing
