Okay, not even sure how to start this. This is not an official episode. And to be

completely candid, I really want the internet to help here. I've been

investigating Florence and Joseph's case for almost two years now.

Going to Nome, Alaska completely incognito to not stand out.

Knowing that at some point it would eventually impact things.

20 days ago I had booked a trip to Nome, Alaska, a long series of complicated flights to get there.

But the last flight, no matter what, is from Anchorage, Alaska to Nome.

The only way to get there is by flight, commercially Alaska Airlines. On August 27th, I booked these flights out of impulse,

frustrated, tossing in my bed trying to solve this shit and keep asking questions.

But I did not advertise this anywhere. My own

friends, my fiance, a single person I work with. No one knew I booked these

flights. A week before I changed my mind and decided to

hold off and I canceled all of our flights. But I literally forgot to accidentally cancel one of them.

It became one of those weird happy accidents.

Let me highlight this again.

No one knew I booked these flights.

All the sudden starting midweek I began to get random texts from people a gnome that I talked to saying,

Hey, are you a gnome?

Okay, maybe a coincidence.

But damn, it's a weird one.

But I'm sitting with my co-producer Mike right now

in the East Coast, and even he didn't know he had a flight booked.
