My first radio appearance

So, as I wrote about earlier, this evening I appeared on the Peas in their Pods radio show. I have never been on the radio before and was a bit nervous, but I think it went okay. They mainly asked stuff like how did Charley get started, how do I research my cases, etc. A listener asked about NamUs and I told them about all the resolved cases on there. Then at the end, on a lighter note, one of the hosts asked me about my pet rats. The rats were very happy to learn that they have become famous.

Peas in their Pods

August 16 at 6:55 p.m. Central Time, I will be interviewed on the Peas in their Pods radio show. So if you want to listen to me make an absolute fool out of myself, make sure to tune in.

CORRECTION: I’ve been rescheduled for the 23rd instead.

*toots her own horn*

A lady from a newspaper in Massachusetts contacted me today and we did a short interview. She said she might mention me and Charley in her article. Yay!

In other news, the computer did the refuse-to-start thing again today. I decided to try alternatives besides the Startup Repair thing that erased all my software. And lo, I found System Restore, which restores the comp to a previous date, and that worked without me having to reinstall everything!

Cooool…

Some lady in New York has emailed me asking for an interview. She has a contract for a book on missing people in New York and wants to put me and my site in the book. She was saying she’d like to meet me face to face, but of course as I live in Ohio that’s very impractical. She’ll have to settle for the telephone instead.

Being in a book, I think, is even cooler than being in a newspaper.

The New York Times just contacted me

They’re looking for information on the missing Albuquerque women, and also do I have any way to get in touch with their families? I’m afraid I can’t be of much help in the getting-in-touch thing. I hardly ever have contact with any MP’s families, Albuquerque girls included. But I gave him a few tips and all the relevant cases I had on Charley.

This is the second time the NYT has been in touch with me about my website. The first time was like five years ago, when Charley was the MPCCN. A reporter said he was doing an article on using the internet to find missing children, and asked me a few questions by email. I don’t know if anything came of that (or if anything will come of this contact), but it’s kind of cool to be contacted by people from one of the most prestigious newspapers in the world.

Boy, am I blogging a lot today. Trying to make up for my previous neglect, perhaps.
