This is the fall line.

As in previous episodes in the series, we'll use a mix of reduction in pseudonyms.

Please check out those previous episodes for important contextual information.

It's been more than 28 years and Monaco and Michael Bennett are still missing.

First viewed as runaways and then finally as endangered missing,

the teenager's story, at least as presented in the media, remains frustratingly elusive.

We've told you that this case remains open, so we aren't able to answer many of the questions you're probably asking yourself.

Even we had a bit of trouble pinning down Monica and Michael's ages ourselves.

In a big family with so many birthdays, well, you get the picture.

But other oddities arise too.

We've told you that the police report varies list 830 and 850 as the time John called Jane to tell her the children were gone.

However, one newspaper article and the GBI's website say it was 5pm.

Other resources ostensibly based on law enforcement reports list the time the siblings were seeing last is 1pm.

When John allegedly dropped them off the pack.
