Hi, I'm Natalie.

And I'm Paige. We're the hosts of the Murder Diaries.

We're a weekly victim-centered true crime podcast.

Our goal is to always keep the victims name and light alive in our coverage of missing, unsolved, and suspicious death cases.

New episodes are available every Thursday.

Listen to the Murder Diaries wherever you get your podcasts.

It's always the not knowing that lingers in unseen corners, waiting for the moment when you

think you've moved on or that your heart has finally toughened so the pain isn't so debilitating.

And then that's when it hits again.

The only pain that compares to the loss of a child is that of not knowing what happened to them.

Should you grieve and move on to spare others who need your attention and love, or do you give in

to the all-encompassing compulsion to keep looking, and never to stop, no matter the cost?

Those were the options on the table for the family at the center of our case this week,

and various members made different decisions. Some have given up hope of a joyful reunion.

Others, like Dan Fuchs, refused to stop believing that that kind of joy of a child returning

home is still possible. He won't stop believing that his stepdaughter could still be alive

and that what she would need is someone else believing in her ability to come back home.

This is the case of Prisma Denise Peralta Reyes.

No. I'm. I'm. I'm
