Summary

Season 6, Episode 7. How do two people just disappear? How does that happen and not trigger a massive manhunt, blanket TV coverage, cable news coverage and some sort of Netflix documentary show? In the case of Kristin Diede and Bob Anderson, it was about who they were. Or perhaps more so – who they weren’t.  In this episode, co-producers James Wolner and Jeremy Fugleberg continue their investigation into the 1993 unsolved disappearance of Kristin Diede and Bob Anderson from Wishek, North Dakota. They’ll take a close look at all the fault lines, all the big cracks, that seemed to swallow up Kristin and Bob and the news of their disappearance, effectively squelching the hunt for them.  Plus, James sneaks in a surprise note for Jeremy, right at the beginning of the episode. If you know what happened to Kristin and Bob or have vital information for Law Enforcement, call the Logan County (ND) Sheriff’s Office: 701-754-2495. Dakota Spotlight is a production of Forum Communications Co.
