Hi everyone, before we begin the episode, I have a quick announcement to make.

I'm actually going to be doing another live show in the near future,

as the Trailant Cold has been invited to participate in the Ottawa Podcast Festival,

which is taking place on Saturday, August 24th in my hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

It's an all day event starting at 1pm, which is going to be featuring shows from a number of

podcasts from the area, and the Trailant Cold's show has been scheduled for the 730-830 pm slot

that night. The event is taking place at the live on Elgin venue, and tickets are only $20 each

for the entire day. To purchase tickets or to learn more information, please visit

Ottawa PodcastBestival.com, and we've also got a link to the website in our episode description.

Once again, it's taking place next month on August 24th, and we hope to see some of you folks there.

Enjoy the episode. April 26th, 1980.

are reported missing. The investigation eventually focuses on George Sutherland, a married man who

had been carrying on an affair with Louise for years, and is believed to be Charmian's biological father.

Even though there are a number of reasons to suspect George, he denies any involvement in the

disappearances, and Louise and Charmian are never found. After that, the trail went cold.

The episode of the trail went cold. I'm your host Robin Wardner, and for the first time in nearly

The 1980 disappearances of Louise Faulkner, and her two-year-old daughter, Charmian Faulkner,
