Summary

Episode 7, How Two People Vanish, asks why the 1993 disappearance of Kristin Joy Diede and Robert Michael “Bob” Anderson from Wishek, North Dakota, never triggered a massive manhunt or widespread media coverage. Was it about who they were — or who they weren’t? This episode explores the cracks and blind spots that allowed their case to fade from view, leaving questions unanswered for decades. Alongside these insights, listeners will also catch a surprise note tucked in at the episode’s opening. If you know what happened to Kristin and Bob or have information for law enforcement, call the Logan County, ND Sheriff’s Office: (701) 754-2495.
