0:00.0	Last week, we brought you part one of the story of two 14-year-old girls who vanished in Roanoke, Virginia in 1977.
0:10.8	Angela Rader and Tammy Acres were best friends who hung out together, getting into low-level teenage trouble, like skipping school and shoplifting.
0:19.3	But they were sweet girls with families who loved them.
0:22.9	Despite this, when they disappeared, both police and their families initially wrote them off as
0:28.1	runaways. You see, the pair had run off together before, but had always returned quickly.
0:34.4	Except this time they didn't. In fact, it would be years before police even thought something bad
0:39.9	had happened to the girls or had a person of interest in this case. But when they did, the families

1:05.1	And I'm Ethan Flick.
1:06.2	And this is, and then they were gone.
1:10.4	Music and then they were gone. This is only the second two-parter that we've done, but this case took so many twists and turns over the years.
1:54.6	Over 44 years.
1:56.1	Yeah, 44 years.
1:57.0	I was just going to say, so this is the oldest case.
1:59.7	Yeah, by far. So we just couldn't fit
2:02.9	everything into one episode. But there is a ton of important information that we did cover in
2:09.0	that first episode. So if you haven't listened yet, definitely go back and do that before you
2:13.4	start this one. But just to give a little recap, for those of you who maybe listened to the first
