In our podcast's fifth season, we share six new unsolved mysteries. And we're hoping someone listening might have a clue that could help crack one of these cases. Maybe that someone is you. Here's Dateline, missing in America.
1:57If the American health care system were a human body, nurses would be its beating heart. They are the first people a patient interacts with, taking medical histories, running tests, checking vitals, administering medications, and drying tears. They usually spend more time with a patient than any other provider. The job is emotionally demanding and physically taxing. No day, no patient, no treatment plan is the same. The only constant, a nurse is expected to show up, ready to work, every day. That's what Bianca Carrasco did. She loved her patients. She wasn't just there trying to do her job. At 29, Bianca showed up for her patients, day after day, shift after shift.
2:56She worked in oncology with patients who really needed her help. She took pride in what she did and took it very seriously. She did, until May 1st, 2016. And I said, okay, did she call? Did she call in? She said, no, ma 'am. And she said, it's not like her. That morning, Bianca did not show up at all. From that point, I said, okay, something's really wrong. It has been 10 years since Bianca Carrasco missed that shift at Topper Wine Medical Center, just outside of San Antonio, Texas. Her sister, Giovanna Burney, is still searching for answers. I know there are people that have more information and they haven't spoken up, and I just think they're just as guilty by not speaking up.

4:25Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have eczema, so I get how it can steal your time. But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about EBCLIS? EbGliss Lebrikizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema. Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies, EbGliss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
4:59Don't use if you are allergic to EbGliss. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with EPCLIS. Before starting EPCLIS, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Paid partnership with Lilly. Respect your time.
