TIM: With us today, Daily
Alaskan reporters

Eileen Fitzgerald and Roz
Friendly. Eileen, Roz, welcome.

- Good to be here, Tim.
- Thanks for having us.

So, I want to discuss the
impact of your recent reporting

about Meade Police Chief Durkin

and Anchorage ADA Adam Barnett.

The stories can be found
on TheDailyAlaskan.com,

but for anyone who hasn't read them,

tell us what happened.

Well, through our reporting,

uh, we discovered that Chief Durkin

was classifying his
sexual-assault cases

as "unfounded" at an
alarmingly high rate.

When a case is deemed "unfounded,"

it means that the crime didn't happen.

And if the crime didn't happen,
it doesn't have to be solved.

Exactly. And we found out
that ADA Barnett was preying

on his female plaintiffs,
re-victimizing them.

Following the publication of
your stories, Durkin was fired.

So was Barnett, and we
expect him to be disbarred.

Both of these stories

are emblematic of the systemic problems

that plague the Alaska legal system.

And it highlights why local reporting,

disappearing across
this country, matters.

We're happy to shed light on the issues.

When you expose people like this,

do you worry about blowback?

Exposing corruption definitely
has its consequences,

but it doesn't deter
us from doing our job.

Agreed. Most people are just so busy

trying to get through the day
with work and family and life.

Someone has to expose these guys.

So if not us, then who?

- [BEEPING]
- Okay, we have a caller.

"Concerned Citizen," you're on the air.

CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yeah.

I don't know why you're
all celebrating this.

Do you have a question
for the reporters?

Yeah, I do.

Why are you still here, Eileen?

I have a job to do, serving the
interests of the Alaskan people.

What do you know about
the interests of Alaskans?

You think you're some kind of crusader,

but you're a carpetbagging meddler.

And a liar. You need to be stopped.

TIM: We're gonna take a quick break

and be right back with a question,

hopefully a more polite
one, from Pam in Wasilla.

This is me asking for a favor.

Please.

Good morning.

25-year-old Henley Madison Scott

of Houston, Texas, was
reported missing this morning.

On behalf of Governor
Thacker, I want to extend

our thoughts and prayers
to Henley's family

and commend the efforts
of the Coast Guard

and State Troopers who are
working in tandem to find her.

I will take questions, but
this is an open investigation.

- [JOURNALISTS SHOUTING QUESTIONS]
- Yes?

Emma Darview, Juneau Empire.

How large is the search radius?

At this time, the maritime
search is 70 nautical miles.

Ria Critchfield, Ketchikan Daily News.

How long do they expect she
can stay alive in the water?

The estimated time of survival
is six hours in those waters.

So she's been in the water
now approximately how long?

- I'm sorry. You are... ?
- Oh, sorry.

Uh, Eileen Fitzgerald,
The Daily Alaskan.

Henley's been missing
for almost six hours.

And how extensive is the search?

Several Jayhawk helicopters
have been deployed,

a response boat from Station Valdez,

and the Coast Guard cutter Endurance.

That's a big operation.

The Governor is personally committed

to bringing Henley home, and
no expense will be spared.

That'll be all.

♪

How was the presser?

Big turnout. Helicopters, search boats.

You name it, they're doing
it. Where we at with Gloria?

I've been trying to track
down drug dealers in Meade.

If Gloria left Skeeter's
looking for Oxy,

she must have talked to someone.

Any more leads on Skeeter?

I've got Gabriel scrubbing
social and checking traps.

There's nothing. This guy is a ghost.

Or really good at hiding. Keep on him.

How was the presser?

Riveting.

I'll write it up.

Thank you. All right, people!

This Henley story is
getting a lot of traction.

The Times, the Post,
USA Today, cable news.

But I don't want to farm
you out as stringers.

How much lead time do we have
before the talking heads fly in?

We have a minute before they land.

It's a local story, ours to tell.

Let's tell it first and best.

Doesn't this story reek of
Missing White Woman Syndrome?

Perhaps, but it's eyeballs.
The entire country's watching.

Yeah, but Jade Jacobs
disappeared two days ago,

and you don't see her
face all over the news.

Roz, you know we can't
not tell the Henley story.

Okay, well, can we split
up our manpower a little bit

and not feed the beast?

She's not wrong. Henley's
getting a lot of coverage.

You should have seen the
turnout at the presser.

YUNA: It'll only get worse
when cable news shows up.

They're gonna drown
us in their coverage.

True, but maybe there's an angle here.

Two women disappeared.
One white, one Yup'ik.

- A comparison piece?
- I'm down with that.

Me too.

I like it. Follow the money.

I'll dig into how much is
being spent to find Henley.

I'll do the same with Jade.

how much does it cost to
operate a Jayhawk helicopter?

About $14,000.

A day?

[CHUCKLES] An hour.

Wow.

And how many are being
used to search for Henley?

Three.

And how much does a
Coast Guard cutter cost?

Uh, about 17 grand.

- An hour?
- Hm.

And we're also using two
C-130 turbo-prop planes.

And how much does that run you?

Oh, about $18,000.

Just to say it, we
are sparing no expense

to find this young woman.

That's... that's great.

So all-in, how much would you say

that this search is costing you?

Well, if I had to guess, I'd say

somewhere in excess
of a million dollars.

A million dollars.

That's, uh, a lot of money.

Well, when the Governor said
spare no expense, he meant it.

Bob Young, The Daily Alaskan.

Can you explain why there's no
Man Overboard system on the ship?

Safety is our foremost priority

at Gold Star Cruises International,

but M.O.B. systems have high
rates of false positives.

- Ben Morehurst, ANNC...
- They may be imperfect,

reason you didn't install it

is because your flag state is Panama,

so you don't have to follow U.S. law?

profiting off of Henley's disappearance?

Okay, I would like to

Great. Roz Friendly, The Daily Alaskan.

Can you speak to the fact

that Henley Scott has a criminal record

you're trying to tarnish

of Concordia Public Relations.

It's a small piece of my portfolio.

Well, did you know
that 85% of the budget

for the Governor's MMIW Task Force

went to Concordia for a PR campaign?

I did not.

Are we on the record?

Until you say otherwise.

I'll tell you what. I'd be
happy to put you in touch

with our Director of Communications.

Just a thought... that money
could probably be more helpful

funding actual
searches for missing women.

You'll excuse me, Ms. Fitzgerald.

Son.

The hell was that?

That was me doing my job.

You accepted my invitation

so that you could chew out my father?

Were you aware that's how your
family makes some of its money?

The next time you want to use
me to embarrass my old man...

give me a heads-up first.

We covered potholes three
months ago. I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, and it was a snoozer then.

Okay. Drop the pothole
idea. Another pitch.

So, the Office of Child Services

is violating parents' rights by not...

No. You can't toe dip that.
You'll be on that for 6 months.

Agreed. It's a project, not a story.

Okay. What about this?
So, my friend Lisa

works at the Anchorage
Museum of Modern Art.

She told me that they're
replacing the curator

with someone from Minnesota.
I want to profile her.

That's an off-the-news feature.

Agreed. What's the news?

What do you mean?

So if the head curator was
replaced, what happened?

I have no idea.

Exactly. There might
be a good story there.

Yeah, find out what went down.
If it's any good, pitch that.

And, Gabriel, if it turns out
the last curator was let go

because he was also an
eco-terrorist, I will kill you.

Yeah. Me too.

By honor of the woods, she remains.

In the hull of lost things...

Her face, open like the

Like her, they take on light,

Like fog off the lake...

As the sun bends its way

around another valley;

What I took was flight

Like a bird, I chose sky.

She chose night.

well, thank you so much.

That was lovely.

Yeah? Thank you.

Jamie Goodwin. Poet pilot.

I am a fan of your work, Mr. Poet Pilot.

Ah, that's so crazy because I'm actually

a huge fan of yours, as well.

I'm really sorry. I will be right back.

♪

Excuse me. Governor.

Eileen Fitzgerald, The Daily Alaskan.

It's an honor to meet you.

THACKER: It's nice to meet you.

It's great to see so many resources

being employed to find Henley Scott.

Such a shame what happened,
but I am hopeful we'll find her.

I am, too, but why is it that taxpayers

should foot the bill for the search?

Shouldn't the cruise
companies be held responsible?

It's a complicated issue.

The cruise industry is a vital
part of the Alaska economy.

We want to support our
partners where we can.

Besides, you can't put a price on life.

Actually, you have. One million dollars.

That's how much is being
spent to find Henley.

And every life is valuable.

To that point, an Alaska
Native woman named Jade Jacobs

is currently missing,
and the amount of money

spent to find her is less than
your interagency's sushi lunch.

If you got your facts
straight, you would know

that I appointed a task force

specifically dedicated
to the MMIW crisis.

I've been digging into that task force.

I'm just curious, why is it
that the budget is primarily

going to a PR campaign
and not to saving lives?

Look, I know you came
to this fancy event

with a lot of gotcha questions,

but this is more
complicated than you know.

What you're talking about
is apples and oranges.

Governor, can you tell me

who are the apples and
who are the oranges?

I have nothing more to say.

Okay, but we are publishing
a story on the disparity

in the search and rescue efforts,

so if you think of something to say,

I'm available for your comment.

Just doing my job.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

people are gonna notice.

Notice what?

Don't get me wrong.

I-I don't care. But people gossip.

What are we talking about?

You and Aaron Pritchard.

Nothing happened.

But I appreciate you giving
me the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks again for coming
and sharing Jade's story.

What happens now?

I'll read you the story
before it gets published

to make sure everything is accurate.

And in the meantime,
if you think of anything

I need to add, just call me.

It's been 72 hours.

I want to believe that she'll come home.

But what if she doesn't?

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

They found the blond girl's body.

NSN ANCHOR: The nation held its breath

during this seemingly endless search,

hoping against hope the Coast Guard

would find Henley Scott
in these frigid waters.

And earlier today, human
remains were discovered

that are consistent
with her description.

Two things, people!

First, one of our

"The Daily Alaskan nailed it.

This story wasn't about the
search for one missing woman,

but why one woman's life is
valued more than another's."

I couldn't agree more.

By the way, the Times and Post

are picking up our stories.

Not because we were

Second, I'd like to buy you all

a well-deserved drink
after work at the Beard.

Powerful stuff, you
two. Excellent reporting.

Thanks, Bob. You too.

I might have something on
the Gloria Nanmac story.

I didn't write the story
when she went missing,

but I did write the folo,
when they found her body.

I know. We read it.

I wanted to dig deeper,
but I was on Mayhem.

I had to move on.

We get it, Bob.

Yeah.

Well...

What you wrote about, uh, the
search for Jade reminded me

of a conversation I had with
a young woman up in Meade.

She described how the community
came together when the police didn't.

I never circled back.

Her name was Alice Porter.

Who is she?

A friend of Gloria's,
from church I believe.

Gloria went to church? Sylvie
never mentioned that.

No, she didn't.

Hope it helps.

Hey, Bob.

It takes a lot to push on your old work.

We appreciate it.

Spoke to Alice Porter.

That was quick.

She confirmed that she and Gloria

knew each other from church,
but there's something else.

The pastor's name is Reed Gallahorn.

Why does that sound familiar?

- [THUNDER RUMBLES]
- Because...

it sounds like "Rega Horne,"

the other name on the police report.

You think "Rega Horne" is a
misspelling of Reed Gallahorn?

Could be.

And if so, why is a pastor's
name on a police report?

Only one way to find out.
