This episode contains brief mention of murder, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault.

Listener discretion is advised.

This is the fall line.

Throughout our episodes covering the disappearance of Paddyato and Finley Creek Jane Doe,

we've referenced one organization numerous times, Light the Way.

Light the Way are victims advocates who primarily focus on the cases of the missing, but they will work for any person who needs their help.

They work online and in person across the country to support victims and their families.

The work is done by two people, Shana Richard and Tates Nunes, who began their work because

they wanted to help spread the word about missing persons' cases. but it's become much, much more.

Now, Light the Way partners with a number of other organizations, like Season of Justice.

They've attended the Purdue Cold Case Symposium, raised money, held rallies, arranged vigils,

met with law enforcement and families across the country. The list goes on. We've sat down with

Tates and Shana a few times over the last months to discuss their work, both generally and on the

cases of Leon O'Kenzie, Paddiado, and Finley Creek Jane Doe. We've also asked them to give us an overview

of all the cases they're currently advocating for.

We hope that this will spark your interest in sharing and raising the profile of missing or murdered people that you learn about today.

There are flyers and information available on Light The Way's website for every case we're discussing,

and we hope you'll take the time to check our social media

and to follow Lightthe Way's accounts.

They are always sharing information.

Like us, they believe that tips are crucial.

It just takes one person to break a cold case.
