Conversation with David D. Perlmutter, Dean of The College of Media and Communication at Texas Tech University

In this episode I talk with the Dean of The College of Media and Communication at Texas Tech University, David D. Perlmutter. We discuss the role media played in Skye's disappearance, along with the protocols in place for police and journalists. Both systems are essential to aid in a person's disappearance but ultimately nothing ever plays out as one might expect.

We talk about everything from the police response, the differences in American and Japanese media, even touch on the subject of the haters that live on hamster Tiktok.

Skye has been missing for fourteen years, the realities of getting answers is not lost on me. Having this opportunity to share my perspective in hindsight of how the case was handled may be a saving grace for others who find themselves in this type of unfortunate circumstance.
