By now in the investigation, it's been almost 3 weeks since Linda, Sarah, and Kimberly have gone missing, and the
00:00:06
investigation is hitting wall after wall. So, Linda's and Sarah's moms meet for the first time to try and share
00:00:14
information. Linda and Sarah had gone to elementary school together, but they lost touch at like before reconnecting
00:00:20
as adults. So, like these two moms, while they were again small town, might know who each other are, they don't know
00:00:25
each other super well before this. And so they kind of exchange what they're hearing from police. They try and stay
00:00:32
in contact because all they really have to go on is what they're able to find out themselves.
00:00:38
Especially because Orangeberg County isn't doing much to help with the investigation even though Linda's car
00:00:45
was found there. Like by that point, the 3-w week mark, there hadn't even been an
00:00:50
official search of the Wells Crossroads area. What? I know. And like looking back, some family members wonder if
00:00:57
Sarah, Kimberly, and Linda, who were black, they wonder if they had been white, would there have been more
00:01:04
resources, more news coverage, more pressure to get something done quicker? Different skin color, different access
00:01:11
to resources. These are like real things that there are very real statistics about. I know. And some of the family
00:01:17
are clear that their criticism is for Orangeberg County even more than Dorchester
