| 0:35.1 | Music of Last Seen Alive. Thanks for listening to Last Seen Alive. I'm your host Leah, crime analyst by day, and true crime storyteller by night. |
| 0:44.0 | And I am your co-host, Scott. Kimberly Morse was last seen alive on January 18, 2000. The new year had arrived just a couple weeks before, and it was the cusp of a whole new |
