Impact

In 2018, the film was rediscovered by ABC's investigative team and revealed it features Trudie Adams when she was 18 years old, a year before she went missing in June 1978. In the film, Adams plays the girlfriend of the main character and footage shows her dancing with her on-screen boyfriend and sharing a romantic candlelit dinner. Adams is chatting with friends, and appears fresh-faced and carefree.[3]
