Last Seen - The Rumor (Episode 2)

from Plaintext with Rich Hosted by Rich Greene

Episode 2: The Rumor A broken voice message offers one clue: “We’re going to St—” But St. where? As Leah’s parent searches hospitals, shelters, and gridlocked streets, the communications outage creates another problem. Reliable information is moving slowly, while rumors are racing across the city. In Part Two of Last Seen, a paper map, a neighborhood radio network, and a small act of trust become more useful than any app. Then a handwritten note sends the search in an entirely new direction.
