1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: In the summer of nineteen ninety nine, a young woman

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: in South Carolina disappeared in the middle of the night.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Seven years passed. She was presumed dead. Then a tip

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: came in, a tip that would turn the entire investigation

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: on its head. He said, I think I found your

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: girl and she's alive. She's in New York And I said, really, yeah, really,

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: According to this tip, this missing woman was now a

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: student at Columbia University. But the small town detective on

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: the case in South Carolina he didn't believe it, so

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: he kept poking around. I said, I'm calling about a

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: girl you might know, and he said, I wondered when

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: you were going to call. When my son brought her home,

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I knew she was trouble. So who was this woman?

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: The detective ultimately became convinced that she was a master

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: of deception, a spy who went by many aliases. She

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: was using Jenni Myers, Jenner, Marie Meyers, Jennifer Myers, Natalie.

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: I knew her as Natalie. His investigation drew in the

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Secret Service, the US Marshals, and the Justice Department. There

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: was a nationwide manhunt, allegations of murder, fraud, and espionage swirled.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of people stealing names,

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: but something dealing with espionage spies that was a fascinating development.

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: How are we not finding this young girl who you

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: know stole some identities? But good grief, guys, we're the

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: federal government here. We gotta be able to do that.

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: I need to know. I need to know if she's

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: dead or alive. I just need to know that she's

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: okay or she's gone. No one could find her or

28
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: figure out what she was really after. I think people

29
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: think that I had this master plan and I went

30
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: out and did it. You know, like, it's not fun, right,

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: You're constantly scared, you have no support, you have no

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: one to talk to. It never occurred to me, quite frankly,

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: that I would get caught or could get caught, or

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: that anyone would get hurt. I mean, I figured nothing

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: would ever happen. Deep Cover Season three, Never Seen Again,
