Summary

Shortly after the release of the previous episode in this series, I connected with someone very close to Emily Bailey’s story. He offered to share startling new details that may shed further light on what happened in the days leading up to her disappearance. Brandon Hunter is the father of one of Emily’s daughters. Listeners will remember his name from earlier episodes, as he was the person who reported Emily missing to Hamilton Police. In our conversation, Brandon explains that he had been in regular contact with Emily before she disappeared. He also shares information Emily told him in those final days, information that ultimately led him to show up at Jeff’s door shortly after the missing person report was filed. In this episode we are joined by Brandon Hunter for a revealing discussion about the disappearance of his close friend, and the mother of his child, Emily Bailey.
