In the summer of nineteen ninety nine, a young woman in South Carolina disappeared in the middle of the night. Seven years passed. She was presumed dead. Then a tip came in, a tip that would turn the entire investigation on its head. He said, I think I found your girl and she's alive. She's in New York And I said, really, yeah, really, According to this tip, this missing woman was now a
student at Columbia University. But the small town detective on the case in South Carolina he didn't believe it, so he kept poking around. I said, I'm calling about a girl you might know, and he said, I wondered when you were going to call. When my son brought her home, I knew she was trouble. So who was this woman? The detective ultimately became convinced that she was a master
of deception, a spy who went by many aliases. She was using Jenni Myers, Jenner, Marie Meyers, Jennifer Myers, Natalie. I knew her as Natalie. His investigation drew in the Secret Service, the US Marshals, and the Justice Department. There was a nationwide manhunt, allegations of murder, fraud, and espionage swirled. I mean, there are a lot of people stealing names, but something dealing with espionage spies that was a fascinating development. How are we not finding this young girl who you
know stole some identities? But good grief, guys, we're the federal government here. We gotta be able to do that. I need to know. I need to know if she's dead or alive. I just need to know that she's okay or she's gone. No one could find her or figure out what she was really after. I think people think that I had this master plan and I went out and did it. You know, like, it's not fun, right, You're constantly scared, you have no support, you have no
one to talk to. It never occurred to me, quite frankly, that I would get caught or could get caught, or that anyone would get hurt. I mean, I figured nothing would ever happen.
