Missing: Kimberly Kay Novak AKA Kimberly Kay Allen

Kimberly Kay Novak was no angel, but when you listen to her sister, Becky, talk about her, you can hear the love and longing for the woman who made her wedding a memorable event. Even though Kim had a free-spirit and did her own thing on her own terms, she always touched base with family--especially on Father's Day. So when those special occasion calls stopped coming, Becky said they knew something was wrong. In this incredible interview I also have audio recording of Becky and Marissa, a medium...

In the Field: Jennifer C. Kocher, Journalist

An incredible story-teller and bonafide crime junkie, journalist Jennifer Kocher, is the perfect combination of sunshine and grit. I've worked with Jen now for the last year.
