Ed had been keeping close tabs on Ruth, trying to do everything in his power to keep her stalker, whoever he was, from harming her.

The poems upset him.

They were vile and demeaning towards the woman he loved.

Ruth put on a brave face, but he could feel the toll it was taking on her.

It was all too much.

Ed calls the police to report her missing.

Under regular circumstances, the police wouldn't act on a missing person's report that early.

But Ed insists something is very wrong.

From Sony Music Entertainment and Newmetric Media, this is The Poet.

I'm Rachel Brown.

Episode 2.

Where's Ruth?

Ruth is at work at the phone company Southwestern Bell on the morning of November 21st, 1978, the day of her disappearance.

One of her colleagues was having a birthday celebration in the office, and Ruth had forgotten to get her a birthday card.

Reporter Fred Mann was a young journalist working at the Wichita Eagle Beacon at the time.

These are Ruth's words, read for us by an actor.

As she crosses the street to return to the office, Ruth gets this eerie feeling like someone's following her.

That's when an old, green, beat-up Chevy Bel Air pulls up to the curb.

One of the rear windows is missing, patched up with tape.

One side of the car has been caved in.
