0:08.0	All opinions expressed are the interviewee zone.
0:11.0	Listener discretion is advised.
0:16.7	This is the fall line.
0:24.5	Light the Way, the advocacy group that we've collaborated with over the past two years,
0:30.0	participates in an awareness campaign called Missing Poster Monday.
0:33.9	It's been going on since 2022, and the goal is to share flyers of missing people across
0:39.5	social media platforms to increase case visibility. One poster that kept coming across our
