| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know before you start listening to this special bonus episode that it is going to contain some mature subject matter, so you may want to listen to this one without the kids. |
| 0:30.1 | This is unconcluded, a real-time investigative podcast looking into the 2006 disappearance of Jennifer Kessie in Orlando, Florida. |
| 0:31.5 | I'm Sean Gert. |
