On the clickthrough, it’s a story straight from the heart of the Deep South I come from… And it’s on this week’s This American Life. (A widget should appear below. If not, just click through to their site.) It’s a rerun (with an update at the end) of an epic that spans the breadth of the whole region, but whose center revolves around the discovery of a missing child in my hometown, Columbia, Mississippi. Enjoy.

I listened to it earlier this week. I was captivated. Having a two year old son also made the emotional connection for me much stronger. A great recommendation.
I bet it really does resonate more when you have young kids! It’s easy to imagine this story happening among those saw palmetto swamps we were talking about a while ago too…
