(Introduction to show begins)

ERIC MEADOWS (WCAN Co-host): Good evening and join us here for another episode of Missing Pieces hosted by Todd Matthews and myself Eric Meadows. I would like to welcome Todd here tonight and Todd you have a guest with you, why don't you introduce him to our audience.

TODD MATTHEWS (Missing Pieces Host): Good evening everybody we have Doug French tonight. He is a spokesman for the Waters' family. Tonight's episode is called Searching for Anna Christian Waters. Anna was only five years old when she vanished from her home in her California backyard. Welcome Doug, how are you?

DOUG FRENCH (Guest): Hello Todd, glad to be here.

TODD: So how long have you been working on this case?

DOUG: Well I personally have been working on the case for approximately two years so the family obviously has been looking for actually 34 years. It was 34 years to date that she disappeared.

TODD: Good anniversary date for this then. A lot of times we try to work on that and pick a special date for the family. 1973.

DOUG: Yep. It was 1973. It has been a long time and unfortunately for a lot of those years, not a lot of progress had been made. It wasn't until recently that we started re-investigating it and come up with some exciting stuff but obviously we want to cover some foundation before we start getting to the most recent information.

TODD: So she is five years old and I've got a really good description of her: White female, blond hair, brown eyes. Got a good clothing description and I'm actually looking at the links. You have like nine different places where you can go online and look at some of the links and we will have it linked to the website.
