And once again, Natalie, it's always good to have you here.

Absolutely.

I want to give everyone the quick reminder, as per usual, if you have not watched or listened to this episode, it's called Jade Colvin is Missing.

Go check it out and then come back for this conversation.

All right, Natalie, we learned very early on in the hour, Jade Colvin's had a tough, tough childhood.

Both her mother, LaDawn, and her father, Kevin, they struggle with substance abuse.

Jade is only 13 when she's placed in foster care, but she's in and out of different facilities and she runs away a lot.

So when she ran away in 2016, in a way, this was part of a pattern.

So I'm wondering why for Jade's family and for her friends, why they thought this was different.

So, I mean, I hate to say this, but, you know, I mean, plenty of young women go missing.

They disappear into the night and often those cases are not followed up on.

What encouraged authorities to keep looking for Jade after so many years?

In fact, mentioning Special Agent John Turbitt, I want to play a clip.

He explains why Jade's case was so important to his team.

Yeah, you know, I totally get that.

And when I think about the pictures that were in the hour, I kept on thinking she looks like any kid, you know, in my own daughter's high school.

So I totally get what investigators felt.

I also thought it was really interesting that she was still, despite all of this dysfunction, really close to her mother.

And this is something that the detectives kind of pick up as well.

Investigators, they find new evidence.
