Where the Sidewalk Ends, Justice Begins
Twenty-five years ago, my sister Alissa Turney disappeared.
For most of that time, I have lived in the space between grief and action, between not knowing and refusing to look away. This episode is different. It is shorter, more personal, and less about retelling every detail of Alissa’s case than it is about marking what this anniversary means.
Twenty-five years is an impossible amount of time
