(Introduction to show begins)

ERIC MEADOWS (Co-Host WCAN Radio): Good evening everyone. You've joined us for yet another episode of Missing Pieces hosted by Todd Matthews and myself, Eric Meadows. Todd, how are you?

TODD MATTHEWS (Missing Pieces Host): Doing really good, Eric. How are you?

ERIC: Really great. I'm doing excellent, excellent, and it's good to have us back on the air and actually up because it's been a while. We're back up and we're broadcasting and I hear that you brought a guest with you tonight.

TODD: Yes, I do. I have Elizabeth Bruce, and her mother is missing. Welcome Elizabeth.

ELIZABETH BRUCE (Guest): Hello.

ERIC: Good evening, Elizabeth. How are you?

ELIZABETH: I'm fine. How are you?

ERIC: I'm doing really well.

TODD: I've known Elizabeth for a while; I call her Liz. She's...I've heard from her quite a bit over the years. Her mother is Brenda Joan Allen-Szabo.

ELIZABETH: Right.

TODD: And, you know, her case file says that she went missing March 1st, 1983; just didn't show up one day, right?

ELIZABETH: Correct.

TODD: Okay, you've been through a lot with this. I know that. I know you've been through some recent things but we'll go back to the past, just a little bit, to see how this all started. You remember your mother, don't you?

ELIZABETH: Um, yes, when I was 3, about 3 years old is the last time I saw her, but because I was taken away and adopted out. And then, in my looking for her, I could never find her, and I found 2 sisters in the process, and then started finding family and all of that.

TODD: So your mom would have been 58 this year because she was born in November 1949, so she disappeared at 33 years old; 5'4", 120 lbs. She's a beautiful lady and you feel like she's alive today.

ELIZABETH: Um...yeah...I do. You know, I'm not sure. I've done everything to find her. I don't know if she is or not, I mean, but there's a very good possibility that she is.

TODD: Now, when did you first become aware 'my mother is missing'?

ELIZABETH: When I started...when I found all my grandmother's family...

TODD: uh hum
