Hi, everybody.

I'm Deborah Roberts, and welcome back to 2020 The After Show, the program where we take you behind the scenes of some of our reporting and give you kind of a look at how we put these programs together.

And today we're talking about a story that I worked on. I reported on down in Florida. A 21-year-old mom has gone missing from her home. She left behind

at the time her two small sons, whom her family, of course, insisted she never would have left

abandoned. It's a 2020 episode called Life on the Line, and it's available right here on your

podcast feed and streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus.

Producers Jeff Schneider and Denise Martinez Ramundo worked on this case with me.

And I'm so excited to have Denise and Jeff here.

Denise, good to see you.

I think I'm going to start with you because you brought this story to me.

It was something that you, I think, discovered, and, you know,

obviously it had been a story that had happened in Florida. As a mom, you're a mom, I am too,

and oftentimes you and I have connected over these stories just because we're parents.

And when it is something that involves a parent, it really kind of grabs us right away.

And tell me about for you, when you first heard about this story, a 21-year-old mom going missing

and, of course, you know, tragically turns out dead.

Her name turns out to be Denise, just like my name.

We actually share the same birth year.
