And he excitedly told me they found the Studebaker and they think that there might be remains inside.

Yeah. and they think that there might be remains inside. You're listening to Dakota Spotlight. My name is James Wulner.

This week, while I continue to work on season 12, I've got another fascinating interview for you.

In May of 1971, two young women named Pam and

Sherry, both juniors in high school, took a drive in rural South Dakota and somehow simply

vanished off the face of the earth. And people speculated, were they murdered, kidnapped, did they

run away? It took another 44 years

to find the answer. Journalist and author Lou Ragoose followed the case for years, and he wrote a

book about it, titled Vanish in Vermilion, The Real Story of South Dakota's Most Infamous Cold Case.

I caught up with Lou and learned more about this fascinating story from South Dakota.

As you'll see, I even got goosebumps while talking about it.

I hope you enjoy it.

Let's dive right in.

Lou Ragoose, thank you so much for joining us on Dakota Spotlight Podcast.

I've been looking forward to speaking to you for a long time.
