Introduction to show begins

ERIC (Missing Pieces Co-host): Listen, why don't you introduce us to your guest.

TODD (Host of Missing Pieces): Tonight we have Shari Greer, a very long-time friend of mine. How are you doing Shari?

SHARI/LILLIE GREER (Guest): I'm doing just fine honey, thanks.

ERIC: Shari, it's good to...

TODD: We call her Lillie on our cold-case discussion group. This group is several years old now and Lillie's part of the woodwork there. So she's been with us a long time but she has something in particular that brings her here, unfortunately it's not something very good. Kathryn-Mary Herbert, Abbotsford, British Columbia, 11 years old at the time of the crime, white female, 5 foot 1 inch, 120 pounds, shoulder-length brown hair. On September 24, 1975, Kathryn-Mary Herbert, 11 years old from Abbotsford, British Columbia was abducted on her way home from her friend's house approximately a mile from her home. I know that's hard for you to hear Lillie...

LILLIE: Sometimes.

TODD: Can you tell us a little bit more about it?

LILLIE: She asked me after school if she could go to her friend's for a while and I said "yes, she could" and then she was late coming home and I phoned her a told her to get her butt home, she was grounded. She said "okay". So apparently after I left for a meeting, she phoned or her brother phoned her, I'm not sure which, and they had a fight and so she stayed longer...

TODD: uh huh

LILLIE: and then she was bicycled almost all the way home by a friend of hers and...

TODD: So she was missing approximately 3 weeks.

LILLIE: Missing? She was missing for 2 months.

TODD: Wow.

LILLIE: Yeah, we went out and searched for her. We dug in places where it looked like the soil had been freshly turned and... it was really hard.
