In this week’s episode, Erika covers the disappearance of Angela Hammond.  On April 4, 1991, Angela who was 4 months pregnant and her fiancé left a BBQ together with plans to meet at home later.  Rob went to go babysit his brother, and Angela went to meet up with a girlfriend.  After she dropped her friend off, she went to a nearby payphone and called Rob.  She went on to tell Rob that she was tired and heading home for the night.  That’s when everything went wrong.

Erika was also not drinking wine this week, since I didn’t have any, so I just had a White Claw.

Then Amber takes you down a dark path of mental health treatments and facilities throughout history. From ice baths, to lobotomies, straight jackets and unqualified staff; it is good to see how far we have come in this country. We still have a long way to go, but maybe this will help us all to recognize the progress.

Amber was still not feeling well, so she was having plain old coffee.
