They came and went over that period, but yeah, four years before they got caught.

It will be streaming very soon. I can't remember if it will be on Netflix or amazon prime —I'll check!

I just heard a story on NPR about the Goodbye Line. Wonderful.

Also, the UC Berkeley campus has a rule that all major buildings must have a payphone. It's because each one there includes a teletype device for the deaf.

The Goodbye Line reminds me of the Japanese phone booth where passers-by can “call" their dead loved ones. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/wind-telephone

The story includes examples of messages people have left on the line.
