140: [Alison Duiker] A Reflection of My Mother

Content Warning: robbery, rape, domestic violence, domestic abuse, child abuse, missing persons, and suspected murder.

Alison Duiker is an educator, author, mother, and survivor from Ohio. Her life was upended days before her fifth birthday when her mom, Lonene, went missing. Over the last forty-four years, Alison has worked diligently to bring awareness to her mother’s cold case, as well as to make change for other families with missing loved ones. The Broken Cycle Media team is honored she was willing to share her and her mother’s journey with us, and we deeply encourage our audience members to help enact Lonnie’s Law by signing Alison’s petition linked in the episode notes.
