Speaker 1: In the summer of nineteen ninety nine, a young woman
Speaker 1: in South Carolina disappeared in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: Seven years passed. She was presumed dead. Then a tip
Speaker 1: came in, a tip that would turn the entire investigation
Speaker 1: on its head. He said, I think I found your
Speaker 1: girl and she's alive. She's in New York And I said, really, yeah, really,
Speaker 1: According to this tip, this missing woman was now a
Speaker 1: student at Columbia University. But the small town detective on
Speaker 1: the case in South Carolina he didn't believe it, so
Speaker 1: he kept poking around. I said, I'm calling about a
Speaker 1: girl you might know, and he said, I wondered when
Speaker 1: you were going to call. When my son brought her home,
Speaker 1: I knew she was trouble. So who was this woman?
Speaker 1: The detective ultimately became convinced that she was a master
Speaker 1: of deception, a spy who went by many aliases. She
Speaker 1: was using Jenni Myers, Jenner, Marie Meyers, Jennifer Myers, Natalie.
Speaker 1: I knew her as Natalie. His investigation drew in the
Speaker 1: Secret Service, the US Marshals, and the Justice Department. There
Speaker 1: was a nationwide manhunt, allegations of murder, fraud, and espionage swirled.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of people stealing names,
Speaker 1: but something dealing with espionage spies that was a fascinating development.
Speaker 1: How are we not finding this young girl who you
Speaker 1: know stole some identities? But good grief, guys, we're the
Speaker 1: federal government here. We gotta be able to do that.
Speaker 1: I need to know. I need to know if she's
Speaker 1: dead or alive. I just need to know that she's
Speaker 1: okay or she's gone. No one could find her or
Speaker 1: figure out what she was really after. I think people
Speaker 1: think that I had this master plan and I went
Speaker 1: out and did it. You know, like, it's not fun, right,
Speaker 1: You're constantly scared, you have no support, you have no
Speaker 1: one to talk to. It never occurred to me, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: that I would get caught or could get caught, or
Speaker 1: that anyone would get hurt. I mean, I figured nothing
Speaker 1: would ever happen. Deep Cover Season three, Never Seen Again,
