Hi, I'm Josh Mancoot,

and you're about to hear a preview from the new season

of Dateline Missing in America,

and the story of Elizabeth Gill.

I've known not a soul sweeter than...

Her name was Elizabeth Ann,

and to her family, she was a child of beauty and grace.

Where have you gone, little messenger of love?

Why have they taken you away?

Jeannie Gill Hink wrote and recorded this song called

Messenger of Love.

It both honors and calls out to someone

she loves dearly to this day,

even though it's been nearly 60 years,

since they last saw one another.

I wanted to pass down the heritage

or the story of Beth.

You don't want people to forget Beth?

No, I don't.

And I don't want people to forget

that it only takes an instant

for your entire world to change.
