However, Terry added that she chooses cases she believes are solvable. This ensures engagement and a possible hope for answers. 

“We look for cases that we feel or that the authorities feel would really benefit from exposure to generate some tips, to cases that have gone cold that they just think there’s something out there,” she said to Bustle over the show.
