Kendall Ray: 本期节目讨论了Ali Lowitzer于2010年失踪的案件。Ali是一个充满活力、有艺术天赋的女孩，拥有良好的人际关系。她于2010年4月26日放学后失踪，最后一次被证实出现是在校车监控录像中。警方最初的调查不力，没有认真对待此案，将Ali的失踪定性为离家出走，拒绝立案，这使得家属不得不自行寻找。警方对家属的担忧置之不理，浪费了宝贵的时间。Laura Recovery Center协助家属进行搜寻和调查，弥补了警方工作的不足。私家侦探Max Hanford将Ali的失踪案与另一案件联系起来，但警方否认两者之间存在关联。私家侦探Amber则认为Ali可能还活着，并怀疑她可能是人口贩卖的受害者，并为此付出了巨大的努力。尽管警方突击搜查了疑似妓院，但没有找到Ali。警方认为Ali可能已经不在人世，但家属仍然抱有希望。Jo Ann Lowitzer致力于帮助其他失踪人员的家庭，并积极倡导提高公众对失踪人员的关注。 Jo Ann Lowitzer: 警方最初的调查极其不力，没有认真对待女儿的失踪，仅仅建议第二天再联系。警方将女儿的失踪定性为离家出走，即使女儿的物品都还在家中。Laura Recovery Center为我们提供了巨大的帮助，积极参与搜寻和调查，并提供情感支持，他们相信女儿不会离家出走。我们雇佣了私家侦探，但没有找到确凿的线索。私家侦探Amber的调查让我们燃起了希望，她认为女儿可能还活着，并可能是人口贩卖的受害者。Amber在俄亥俄州卧底调查，发现了疑似女儿的线索，并与警方合作进行搜查，但最终没有找到女儿。尽管经历了种种挫折，我们仍然坚持寻找女儿，并致力于帮助其他失踪人员的家庭。

Shownotes Transcript

In 2010, Ali Lowitzer stepped off the school bus to go to work, and was never seen again. After police mishandled this case every step of the way, and didn’t take the Lowitzers seriously, the family decided to take the search into their own hands.

Big thank you to Jo Ann for working with my team to tell Ali's story. She is an incredible woman who continues to do so much for the missing persons community.
