In 2006, they realized their foolishness and found a woman named Robyn Howell, who agreed to pay a more foolish $315,000 to buy the station.  Well, cutting to the chase, she <a href=\"http:\/\/www.millardccp.com\/announcements\/obituaries\/539-robyn-howell\">died in 2013<\/a>.   The station carried the Salem talk lineup for a year after she died, but went silent.
