And we hope someone listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases. Could that someone be you? Here's Dateline, missing in America.
0:30November 4th, 1980, was an election that changed America. The polls were still open on the West Coast when NBC's John Chancellor called the race. Reagan is our projected winner, Ronald Wilson Reagan of California. We want Reagan! We want Reagan! There he is, the president-elect. Across the country, Republicans were toasting their win. In Baltimore, Maryland, 44-year-old Nancy Snow was celebrating at a victory party. Occasions like this were her sweet spot. Kimberly, Justine, and Stacy Snow are her daughters. 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.
1:23Those 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 of takes over your life, doesn't it? Oh, absolutely. Nancy's missing persons case is one of the oldest and maybe the coldest at the Annapolis Police Department. And her daughters cannot understand why. It seemed too obvious that something happened. Why couldn't they solve it? They are convinced they know who is responsible for their mother's disappearance.
2:12The detective assigned to Nancy's case has his eye on someone, too. He's still alive. So, to me, no one's gotten away with anything until they're unavailable for prosecution. To tell Nancy's story, we had to reach back into the distant past. 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. Wow. People talk a lot about six degrees of separation. It turned out there are fewer than that between Nancy Snow and myself. Thanks for listening.
