Imagine, if you can, the torment, the confusion. Her brilliant daughter vanished without warning, without a word.
I didn't know how to start looking for. So what is that like? It's hell.
Speaker 1 It's just frustration and just helplessness. But the disappearance of Nancy Renee's daughter Carrie was quite unlike any other.
Speaker 1 Because Carrie hadn't exactly vanished, but retreated beyond the shadows to release rage in torrents of text messages to wound her worried family and terrorize that man.
Speaker 1
I would do it. 50, 60, a day.
A day?
Speaker 1 Yeah, all day long.
Speaker 1 Was their brief fling so terrible? Why all that hate? Why deadly attacks on an imagined rival? 901, do you need police, fire, or medics?
Speaker 1 Uh, fire, I just walked into my house and there are smoke rolling out of it. Angry, vengeful, tireless carrie and it just went on and on and on for years
Speaker 1 i want you at a severe emergency oh yeah i've been shot at innocent people caught in the middle were blamed even framed the detective just kept yelling at me there's something you need to tell us and i didn't know anything
Speaker 1 Our latest podcast takes us to America's Midwest, to a blooming love story. She walks in, I see her, we meet eyes, and just for a moment I kind of stop and I go, well, hello.
Speaker 1
