Love your podcast, listen everyday. One suggestion would be can you turn the volume down on your commercials? They just blast compared to the volume of your podcast. Thank you.
Hi Pat,
Thank you for listening, and for the suggestion! Unfortunately, we don’t control the volume of most of our commercials (most are automatically inserted by an advertising agency). But, we’ll see if there’s anything that can be done about the volume issue.

I was watching ID Channel about this . And she told her parents about her new family. I was wondering if the police ever checked people who moved away at the time of her disappearance? She could still be alive and living with another family.
Have you looked into Eugene Robert Finch in the disappearance of Leanna Warner? He was arrested for child sexual abuse in 2017 when he promised an 11 yo girl a babies doll in exchange for a picture of her vagina. Police later searched his place and found a box of Barbie dolls in the attic of his garage. This is eerily similar to the Barbie dolls Leanna received from “a litter old lady.” Furthermore, Finch was arrested earlier for having sex with a 13 yo girl from Carlton County (which is on the way to Chisholm) where he would drive to be with her. So this is something to think about. Anyway, I called the Chisholm PD and told them the info so they could look into it. BTW, do you know if they found any unidentifiable DNA on the Barbie dolls Leanna was given? Good luck in your research.
Hi Jim, I had never heard of Eugene Robert Finch before. Thank you for sharing, and especially for reporting that information to the investigating agency. To the best of my knowledge, no DNA testing was performed on the Barbie dolls.
