In July 1998, infant Alison Dalton was kidnapped from her home after her mother Selena

was brutally murdered.

In spite of a suspect rising to the top of the list early on, the killer of Selena

has never been arrested, and the whereabouts of Alison remain unknown.

I'm Charlie and welcome to Crime Lines.

Welcome back to the show.

Tonight's case is a little bit shorter than what I've been doing the last few months.

I've had so many episodes that were an hour or more, some I had to split into two because

they were two to and a half hours long.

This case though is a little bit shorter, but it's one that I feel so passionate about,

because this is a missing child case where the child who would now be an adult may still

be alive.

She may be out there and she may not know people are looking for her.

I need to give two shout outs before I even start this one.

The first is the Charlie project.

I'm sure you've been on that website.

I went out there, I was looking through cases, I was just reading up on things.

You would think I wouldn't want to do that when my day job is writing about true crime

and reading about true crime, but that's what I do in my spare time.

I read the Charlie project and I found the entry for Baby Allison.

The Charlie project is an amazing resource that many podcasters use and as someone who

uses it, I also donate to the site.
