Summary

At the time of her disappearance, 27 year old Holly Clark was pursuing her dream to be a professional musician in Hamilton, Ontario. However suddenly, and with little warning, she seemed to find herself on the brink of crisis.  On the morning of January 10th, 2020 Holly phoned her parents in Calgary to request help returning home. During the call Holly would share the frightening, yet vague, details of a traumatic experience that led her to spending the prior night running for her life from either a real or imagined threat.  It was obvious she needed help but shortly before her father arrived, she walked out of her apartment and into the cold air and pouring rain.  In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by Elle, the volunteer who has both a central role and a mission as a member of the Holly Clark search team.   Links referenced in the episode: Holly Clark Search Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2477332942595668/  Holly Clark Search Go Fund Me: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bring-holly-home-supporting-the-ellsworthclarks Holly Clark’s Bandcamp: https://hollyclark.bandcamp.com/ Report Tips and Information on Holly’s disappearance: Hamilton Police: 905-546-4925  Holly Clark Search Email: bringhollyhome2020@gmail.com Credits: Musical Theme: Rain on the Side by Paragon Cause https://www.paragoncause.com/  Musical Outro: Knockout by Dark Bight/Holly Clark Contact: Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Email: NightTimePodcast@gmail.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Premium Feed: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
