0:00.0	Hey guys, happy Wednesday. Welcome back to another episode of Killer Instinct. If you are
0:09.9	new here, hi, my name is Savannah. Thank you so much for tuning in to our podcast. Make sure
0:15.0	you go ahead and hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and if you have the time,
0:19.9	I would really appreciate if you could go ahead and review the podcast as well. I love hearing
0:26.0	your guys' thoughts and suggestions as to how I can make this podcast more enjoyable for you.
0:31.4	So if you have a moment to do that, I would really appreciate that too. Today we are talking about
0:36.4	the unsolved disappearance of Serenity Dennerd. Serenity was nine years old when she went missing on

1:36.0	and a lot of theories as to what could have possibly happened to Serenity the day that she went
1:40.8	missing. So with that all being said, let's just jump right on and do it. So let's talk about
1:46.4	Serenity's upbringing because for only being nine years old, Serenity had been through a lot in her
1:52.6	life. When Serenity was born, she was immediately placed into the foster care system. She bounced
1:59.5	around from home to home and because of this, she never really felt a sense of security in her
2:06.2	family life and this in turn cost her to have a tendency to act out. Circumstances changed for
2:13.4	Serenity in 2014 when she was adopted by a couple named Chad and Darcy Dennerd. Chad and Darcy
