Summary

Dori Ann Myers was a skilled poker player. She knew how to make calculated decisions when the pressure was on. But she also had a soft spot for people, especially for those who made sacrifices for the good of others. Unfortunately, one of those people took advantage of Dori letting her guard down and of her not treating people with the same critical eye as she did cards. Someone came into her home in January 10th, 2006 and, when they left during the early morning hours of January 11th, they took Dori with them. Now it's law enforcement who are having to make calculated decisions in their attempts to solve her case.

0:00.0	Those who are strong poker players have a certain set of skills.
0:03.8	They must be patient and wait for the right time to raise or go all in.

0:35.3	And a single poker game is filled with tons of these split-second high-stress decisions.
0:42.6	It's much more a game of skill than luck.
0:46.6	The person at the center of our case this week was good at poker.
0:50.3	She loved it.
0:52.1	The problem is that we don't look at people in everyday situations the same way we look at cards.
0:58.9	We sometimes convince ourselves to listen to our heart rather than our head when it comes to people.
1:04.8	We want to believe that no one would bluff with us to pretend that there's something that they're not,
1:12.8	which can then lead to us not being as critical or not as observant when it comes to their behaviors. Plus, people,
1:20.3	unlike cards, are fickle. They can have one characteristic in one instant and the opposite
1:25.9	characteristic in another. Which side do we trust?
1:30.1	With people finding a good one, a good friend, a good partner, seems much more a game of luck
1:36.6	than skill. And for the woman in our case this week, someone in her life betrayed that trust. This is the case of Dory Ann Myers. I'm . I'm .
