On March 19, 2004, seventeen‑year‑old Brianna Maitland clocked out of her job as a dishwasher at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont. She drove off into the night. She never made it home. 

Her car was found butted up against an abandoned building known as the Old Dutchburn place along Route 118. Personal belongings were scattered around it. That was over 22 years ago.

Today, we are speaking to two podcasters who have covered Brianna's case in-depth for years. Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna are known for the podcasts Crawlspace, Missing, Empty Frames, and Missing Maura Murray.

Quince offers products that are easy and relaxed while also being well-made essentials that’ll become a key part of your wardrobe this summer. Think pants and shirts in 100% European linen. Well made and breathable to beat the heat. Or their incredibly soft t-shirts that feel great and look amazing.

I’ve been enjoying my 100% European linen relaxed short sleeve shirt in martini olive. I also got new pants, the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants, athletic tapered, in dark charcoal. I’m a guy that probably prizes comfort above all else in clothing. Here’s a testament to how comfortable those pieces are. I wore them when I traveled to Las Vegas for CrimeCon. They were soft and breathable enough to navigate the Strip. Plus, I liked the way they made me look.

With Quince, you’re getting high quality luxury goods for less. Their products are priced fifty to eighty percent less than similar brands. And they last. We use all our Quince clothes again and again, because they don’t go out of style.

On October 3, 1994, 12-year-old Josette Wright vanished from Carmel, New York. Months later, hunters discovered her remains. She had been murdered.

Local drug dealers, Anthony DiPippo and Andrew Krivak, were arrested and charged with Josette's rape and murder. They were first convicted in 1997. Between them, they went through five trials before being acquitted of the crime in 2016 and 2023, respectively.

Now, the Lava for Good podcast Bone Valley—in partnership with Rolling Stone magazine— is covering Josette's case in its fifth season. Editor and writer Paul Solotaroff is the writer and host behind the season. In those episodes, Bone Valley makes numerous claims.

In this episode—the second of two—we will continue to talk to Josette's eldest sister, Shelley, about those claims.
