Hey, everyone, it's Adam Rittenberg and Kyle Bonagura, co-hosts of the Unforgotten Season 3,

0:05.5

Finding Dolores Wolf, and we're here to recap episode 2, Afraid of the Dark, that dropped

0:12.1

a couple of days ago. Again, really appreciate all of your continued support for the podcast.

0:18.2

And, you know, Kyle, this is an episode where we really, you know, get into the case of this appearance of Dolores Wolf and also the family dynamics that played into it.

0:30.7

And a person that certainly surfaces quite a bit in this episode is Dolores and Carl Wolf's only daughter, Anna Wolf, who

0:39.4

was the second of four children. And, you know, we outlined this a bit, but I think it's worth saying

0:45.6

that Anna was somebody who we did not speak to for the original ESPN story that we did on this

So we wanted to connect with everyone who had, um, as, you know, inside into what happened. And she's, she's central to the story so um i think you know we kind of once we kind of

2:03.5

had a chance to you know build a little rapport in that initial conversation then she agreed to to kind

2:15.3

talked for a few hours and it was was really, you know, emotional conversation.
