8:51p EST from John’s home on Fawn River Road.

No

4. Is there audio available about the 911 call?
No. It has never been released to the public.
5. I think Brittany is in Witness Protection is this a possibility?
This is more than unlikely. Witness protection (now called the Witness Security Program) is only provided to witnesses whose life is at risk because of testimony determined to be necessary for the successful prosecution of a criminal case. Of course, the witness's testimony must be considered credible, and must also be guaranteed, meaning that the witness isn't going to back out of giving testimony in court. We've seen nothing that indicates this would apply to Brittany.

Yes, episode 51 gives a full timeline.

They are not the same person.

No. Private addresses will not be given out there.
9. Do you control when each platform releases the episodes?
No, once we upload the episode to a platform, when they update said platform is up to them. The Apple Podcast app is notoriously slow for updating.

A friend of The Hide and Seek Podcast.
11. When do new episodes come out?

According to Brittany’s family, they hadn’t seen ES a number of years. Additionally, the heavy use of narcotics can significantly change a person’s appearance. Throughout the season we heard several people comment on the drastic change in his appearance and/or demeanor.
