Episode Title: Episode 9 — A Call for Information, A Call for Justice

In this episode, we consolidate every public call for information issued since the start of our investigation. Relationships, circumstances, and loyalties change over thirty years, and a single detail from your memory could provide the breakthrough Hazel’s family has waited decades to see. From visitor logs in Pullman to suspicious vehicles along the Palouse River, we review the critical locations, key timelines, and unreported incidents that could hold the key to solving Hazel’s case.

• Pullman Care Visitors (May 1996): Seeking anyone who worked at Pullman Care (now Three Creeks Post Acute) in Pullman, WA, who remembers any visitors seen interacting with Hazel’s husband, Alvin "Shorty" Martin, around May 1996.

• Princeton Grange Hall Sighting: Looking for reports of any vehicle parked near or between the three grain bins behind the old Princeton Grange Hall on the evening of Friday, May 17, 1996.

• Jerome Creek & The Backroads Network: Seeking information on who was intimately familiar with Jerome Creek and the backroad routes surrounding Old River Road and White Pine Drive in May 1996. Did you see vehicles pulled off near the Palouse River between Bennett’s Lumber Mill and the intersection of Highway 6 and Old River Road late May 17 or early May 18, 1996?

• Unreported or Related Criminal Activity: Did you experience or witness suspicious activity, robberies, stalking, or break-ins in Latah County in the months leading up to or following Hazel’s disappearance?
