Hi, I'm Josh Mankiewicz with a preview of Dateline Missing in America. In our podcast's fourth season, we share six new unsolved mysteries.
00:00:11
And we hope someone listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases.
00:00:17
Could that someone be you? Here's Dateline Missing in America. November 4th, 1980 was an election that changed America.
00:00:35
The polls were still open on the West Coast when NBC's John Chancellor called the race.
00:00:41
Reagan is our projected winner, Ronald Wilson Reagan of California. We want Reagan! We want Reagan!
00:00:50
There he is, the president-elect. Across the country, Republicans were toasting their win.
00:00:56
In Baltimore, Maryland, 44-year-old Nancy Snow was celebrating at a victory party.
00:01:04
Occasions like this were her sweet spot. Kimberly, Justine, and Stacey Snow are her daughters.
00:01:13
She was just so full of light. She was so amazing. She always made you feel like you were the most important person in the room.
00:01:22
Those memories of their mother are vivid. They are also frozen in time. Because not long after that party ended Nancy Snow vanished I have been obsessed my entire life with finding my mom You go down these rabbit holes and you spend years just researching researching researching This kind
00:01:46
of takes over your life, doesn't it? Oh, absolutely. Nancy's missing persons case is one of the oldest
00:01:54
and maybe the coldest at the Annapolis Police Department. And her daughters cannot understand
00:02:01
why. It seemed too obvious that something happened. Why couldn't they solve it? They are convinced
00:02:08
they know who is responsible for their mother's disappearance. The detective assigned to Nancy's
00:02:14
case has his eye on someone too. He's still alive. So to me, no one's gotten away with anything until
00:02:22
they're unavailable for prosecution. To tell Nancy's story, we had to reach back into the distant past.
00:02:31
And that's where things got unexpectedly personal for me. I had a strong sense when I heard her name that I had met your mom.
00:02:42
Wow. People talk a lot about six degrees of separation. It turned out there are fewer than that between Nancy Snow and myself.
