This is Missing Alissa, a podcast documentary series about the unsolved disappearance of Alissa

Turnie, a teenage girl from Phoenix, Arizona.

Alissa has been missing since 2001.

Hi, I'm Otavia Zapala and this is episode 12 of Missing Alissa.

I'll give you all the understands if you don't get.

Be there at my deathbed, Sarah, and I'll give you all the honest answers that you want to get.

If you remember, Sarah met with her father after his release from prison and secretly recorded

a conversation where she confronted him about what happened to her sister.

Sarah decided to make the segment public.

I'll get back to that later in the episode.

Following the release of the previous episode where I interview Alissa's stepfather Michael

Turnie, we were inundated with messages.

Everybody had a strong emotional reaction to the interview and most of you said it was

really hard to finish listening to the interview.

The most common response was anger and frustration.

Many of you wanted to know how I managed to keep my cool as he belittled and talked

over me.

You're a reporter.

You'll hear a lot.

You'll hear me reporter is only been talking about what you're talking.

You're taking wild guess and steps and everything else.

You don't even have your facts, great.
