    Phone Interview with Kristi Dale

    This isn't an actual episode, but the family of Bob Dale asked if we could release the whole interview to aid in a from-scratch investigation they are doing into his disappearance. The hope is that there may be a detail mentioned that may jog a memory & contribute to a new lead, & with any luck will finally bring closure to the question: where is Bob Dale?
