Advanced Listening Practice

1. What was found in Diane's car at the rest stop?
    Nothing at all; the car had been completely emptied
    All her essential personal belongings were left undisturbed inside
    A handwritten note addressed to her husband
    Personal items scattered across the back seat, suggesting a struggle

2. What did a coworker reveal about Diane's behavior before her disappearance?
    That Diane had mentioned consulting a lawyer approximately two months before she vanished
    That Diane had been making plans to move to another city
    That Diane had been withdrawing large sums of money from a joint account
    That Diane had confided she was afraid of her husband

3. Why was Paul Faulkner largely cleared of direct involvement?
    He passed a polygraph test administered by state police
    DNA evidence at the rest stop excluded him as a suspect
    Coworkers confirmed he never left work while it was happening
    He had been away on a business trip the entire week of Diane's disappearance

4. What did the truck driver witness at the rest stop?
    He saw Diane getting out of her car and walking toward the woods
    He saw a woman matching Diane's description talking to a man in the parking area
    He saw a second vehicle parked next to Diane's car with its engine running
    He spotted a vehicle identical to the victim's abandoned at the location very early in the morning

5. What is the significance of the 6 a.m. timeline?
    It establishes that the sequence of events began well before her normal daily schedule
    It coincides with the time Paul Faulkner left for work
    It contradicts the truck driver's later statement to police
    It matches the time Diane typically left for work each morning

6. What was found by a hiker in 2003?
    Diane's wallet and identification buried under leaves
    Human remains that were never conclusively identified
    A campsite with personal items matching Diane's known possessions
    A weather-damaged women's fleece jacket in woods about four miles from the rest stop

7. Why has the jacket evidence not been conclusive?
    DNA testing was inconclusive because of the jacket's condition, and it was never retested
    Diane's sister refused to cooperate with investigators
    Police lost the jacket during a transfer between evidence facilities
    The jacket was a common brand sold in thousands of stores

8. What does Paul Faulkner's behavior since the disappearance suggest, according to the information presented?
    That he has been actively obstructing the investigation by refusing to cooperate
    That he cooperated early, said he believed she was taken, but has stayed private for twenty years
    That he moved on quickly and showed little concern about Diane's fate
    That he filed for divorce shortly after Diane's disappearance
