“Speculation is not advocacy,” and misinformation can force investigators to chase false leads.

1. Unforgotten Season 4 opens with Sellers and Stormy framing the episode as an Unforgotten Talk about Alabama cold cases, advocacy, and ongoing case work. 2. Sellers and Stormy are the hosts of Unforgotten, and they say they run Alabama Cold Case Advocacy, which handles research, outreach, and public awareness. 3. The episode asks what format best serves Alabama’s many missing and murdered cases while keeping each family’s story visible. 4. They say the planned Rhonda Morrison follow-up is still underway after speaking with several people connected to her case. 5. They explain that season three, The Debra Ruh Show, is paused because they cannot responsibly release more without additional records and updates. 6. They mention communication with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and SBI, and they say they will not speculate or fill silence with assumptions. 7. They say the work behind the scenes has shifted into continued research, record review, and communication. 8. They revisit the structure of Unforgotten and say one-case-per-episode coverage may better serve more Alabama families throughout the year. 9. They discuss reopened t-shirt sales, new sweatshirts, and a March 8th pre-order deadline for the next round of merchandise. 10. They describe Operation Safe Return as a visibility campaign for long-standing missing persons and cold cases, with a focus on children and vulnerable adults. 11. They say Alabama Sheriffs Association partnership is non-monetary and has opened doors for county-level collaboration. 12. They detail the Chalk family billboard placements, including New Yorker Chalk and 2-year-old Anthony Chalk, both last seen in Theodore, Alabama on January 30th, 2026. 13. They note that Juan Carlos Argueda Guerra was arrested on February 10th, 2026 on three first-degree kidnapping charges in connection with the Chalk disappearance. 14. They state that testimony placed blood throughout the family home on Ben Hamilton Road and that surveillance video and FBI cell tower analysis linked Guerra to the route of a black van with blue LEDs. 15. They give billboard and case updates for Genesis Reed, Danny Barter, and Brenda Sue Sica, including contact numbers for Enterprise, Baldwin County, and Huntsville. 16. They announce a $5,000 unrestricted endowment from the Port Creek Indians and say the gift will strengthen statewide outreach. 17. The tone is conversational and advocacy-focused, with the hosts moving between case updates, logistics, and repeated reminders not to speculate. 18. The format mixes two-person dialogue, fundraising details, public-service announcements, and a long names-and-dates segment for March cases. 19. People who follow Alabama missing-person cases and advocacy work would likely appreciate this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a single case narrative with a clean beginning and end may skip it.
