00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.359
Welcome back to the Path Went Chile
for part two of our series about the

2
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.600
Lost Cruises Bowling Alley massacre. Robin, do you want to catch everyone up

3
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.200
on what we talked about in our
previous episode. Well, this case took

4
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.280
place in February of nineteen ninety in
the town of Los Cruses, New Mexico,

5
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.679
at a bowling alley called the Los
Cruses Bowl, and it was a

6
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.439
shooting in which there were a total
of seven victims. Started off when the

7
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.719
bowling alley's manager, Stephanie Senak,
who was the daughter of the owner,

8
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:59.240
was working there alongside her twelve year
old daughter Melissa Repass and Melissa's good thirteen

9
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.280
year old friend, Amy Hawser,
and they were opening up for business about

10
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.680
an hour ahead of time, and
they also had the bowling alley snack bar

11
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.159
cook idahole Gean working there. But
all of a sudden, two men described

12
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.079
as being Hispanic, ranging from like
the thirties to their late forties early fifties,

13
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.959
came in with guns and took all
four victims into the office and told

14
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.879
them to lie on the floor while
they took money out of the safe.

15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.280
But around the same time, another
employee from the bowling alley named Stephen Turan,

16
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.040
along with his six year old stepdaughter
Paula Holgeen and his two year old

17
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.920
daughter, Valerie Tran just happened to
walk into the office and the two men

18
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.319
forced them to li on the floor
as well, and after they got what

19
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.040
they were looking for, they decided
to fire bullets into all seven of the

20
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.079
victims, a total of twenty five
shots in total, but remarkably, Melissa

21
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.879
would survived and was able to make
it to the phone in order to call

22
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.000
nine to one one. By this
point, the men had also set the

23
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.840
office on fire, but the police
and fire department arrived at the scene and

24
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.480
got medical attention. It turned out
that Amy and Steven and his two daughters

25
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.879
were all pronounced dead at the scene, but Ida, Stephanie, and Melissa

26
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.439
all wound up surviving their wounds,
though Stephanie would die nine years later due

27
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.319
to complications from her injuries. It
was such a savage crime that everyone was

28
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.240
shocked, but they have never been
able to find any suspects who seemed like

29
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.759
promising candidates to be the two killers. There's been speculation that they might have

30
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.840
been searching for something else while they
were there, because Even though about between

31
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.719
four to five thousand dollars was taken
from the safe, some other money was

32
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.639
left behind, and the surviving victims
say that the two men were searching through

33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.840
the office appeared to be looking for
something else, and there have been a

34
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.039
lot of rumors that it could have
been drug related because the son of the

35
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.080
owner, r J. Senak,
who happened to work as a bartender at

36
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.199
the Bowling Alley. He was rumored
to be involved in drugs and would die

37
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.400
of an accidental overdose in nineteen ninety
seven. There were also rumors that the

38
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.639
owner, Ron Seenak, might be
involved in something illegal and could have known

39
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.080
who the term perpetrators were, but
he was thoroughly investigat by law enforcement and

40
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.159
they found nothing in his background to
suggest he was involved in anything illegal or

41
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.319
at any knowledge or involvement in the
crime. So after thirty years, this

42
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.639
case is still unsolved and the identities
of the two shooters is still unknown,

43
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.479
but it's considered to be one of
the most senseless and horrific unsolved cold cases

44
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.000
currently on in North America. So
on our last episode, we mentioned that

45
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.960
this case was the subject of its
own documentary titled A Nightmare and Los crusis

46
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.759
and I consider it to be one
of the most downbeat and disturbing true crime

47
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.639
documentaries I've ever seen. I certainly
would not recommend it for squeamish viewers,

48
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.360
as it features actual photographs and video
footage of the victim's bodies at the murder

49
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.039
scene. But on a lighter note, if any of you listeners are pro

50
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.120
wrestling fans, you might be surprised
to learn that the director, Charlie Minn,

51
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.639
briefly worked as an announcer for the
World Wrestling Federation during the mid nineteen

52
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.759
nineties, but he has since gone
on to direct documentaries about a number of

53
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.240
infamous crimes, including the sand Seedrome
McDonald's massacre, and the story of Wanted

54
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.520
Family annihilator Robert Fischer. Unlike most
of the unsolved crimes featured on a podcast,

55
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.439
there are still living survivors here who
can share their full story about what

56
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.600
happened, though we still don't know
the identities of the perpetrators or the full

57
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.079
story behind their motive. One of
the most vivid sections of A Nightmare and

58
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.279
Los Cruses is when they play the
full audio of Melissa repasses Panic nine one

59
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.079
one call in which he's trying to
report what happened while dealing with the excruciating

60
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.639
pain of gunshot wounds to the head. Judging from their interviews, is clear

61
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.319
that Melissa and Ida Holgeen have still
not gotten over the trauma of the entire

62
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.519
ordeal. And I think that Ida
in particular is plagued with survivor's guilt over

63
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.759
the fact that she got to live
while a number of children. I can't

64
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.319
imagine the kind of grief that would
come from that. You have not just

65
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.720
the children. These are children,
remember that went into the daycare. These

66
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.560
are kiddos who were at the all
all the time because their dad worked there,

67
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:09.720
their family and friends worked there,
and so their normal staples in your

68
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.000
life. And you have a father
who everyone I'm sure adored there, who

69
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.240
was working to better his life.
He was going to try to become a

70
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.399
police officer, and was just about
to have his last days at the bowling

71
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.560
alley, and he's on the floor
next to you cradling two of his children

72
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.519
and all of them get killed,
along with another young person next to you.

73
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.079
The survivors get would be so overwhelming, But just the PTSD and the

74
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.920
imagery that would be stuck with you, the complex PTSD that would never really

75
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.839
leave. I don't think when you
not only know the people you cared about

76
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.319
died, but you saw it,
and you saw the horrific moment, and

77
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.160
then you also had to deal with
your own losses and the own physical and

78
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.120
emotional repercussions as you're trying to heal
from your own injuries. So this is

79
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.160
just a overwhelmingly pitiful case that was
so senseless. That was the best word

80
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.439
you could have used for what.
They didn't even walk away with much money.

81
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.240
And there's also a feeling of fear
among the survivors as well, knowing

82
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.120
that the two perpetrators are still out
there and that there's always a possibility they

83
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
could come after them again, Oh
absolutely, and maybe a possibility that I

84
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.240
somehow know them or they're linked to
someone that knows me, and so now

85
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.519
that I've lived, what if they
come back to finish me off? And

86
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.920
like Idaho, Gien was basically debilitated
by her PTSD and Stephanie's SENAC before her

87
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:41.759
death was essentially a gooraphobic. So
these are huge mental health implications, and

88
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.439
that fear that these people would come
back and finish what they started clearly haunted

89
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.199
the survivors. It's so unfortunate.
At least we have Melissa Repass, who

90
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.519
seems to have been able to move
on with her life. We don't know

91
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.319
what she did or did not deal
with from a mental health perspective. Just

92
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.199
because she had children and seemed to, you know, forges this path forward

93
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.199
doesn't mean that she didn't deal with
what happened at the Los Cruss Bowling Alley

94
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:12.720
every day of her life. Another
vivid moment in the documentary is when they

95
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.560
show live footage of the police approaching
Audrey Tehran in the Bowling Alley parking lot

96
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.240
to inform her that her husband and
daughters have been shot. Losing an entire

97
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.399
family is one of the most devastating
things a person can endure, but what

98
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.639
makes the situation all the more tragic
is the horrible luck which allowed this to

99
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.920
happen. The only reason Stephen Tehan
brought the two kids to the bowling Alley

100
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.240
to begin with was because he couldn't
find a babysitter, and if they had

101
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.000
arrived just a few minutes later,
they would not have walked in on the

102
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.560
crime while it was in progress.
And of course Another tragic element is that

103
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.319
Stephen had just given his notice to
the Bowling Alley and only had three days

104
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.759
left to work there when he was
killed. You're right, So Stephen comes

105
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.680
in, remember when the four victims
are already lying on the ground of the

106
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.360
office where they've been forced into the
office to get access to the safe.

107
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.839
And then Steven just unknowingly brings the
two babies in to go see Stephanie.

108
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.120
Remember, they're going to stay at
the Bowling Alley daycare. So children were

109
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.120
welcomed there, they were celebrated there. So that morning, when his wife

110
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.040
says, I've got this test at
the cosmetology school. I've got to go

111
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.800
work on my career too, he
says, no problem, I'll take the

112
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.200
kids to the daycare at the Bowling
Alley when I go to work. And

113
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.360
the people we love and care about
will love and care about our babies.

114
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.720
And so she gets this phone call
to rush to the scene, and she

115
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.919
finds out that not only have they
been shot, but that her husband,

116
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.600
who had just graduated and was working
towards becoming a police officer, and her

117
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.080
two babies, her whole entire world
was executed in a moment. It was

118
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.320
taken away from her and she's learning
it. You know that the horror that

119
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.799
takes over and the nightmare that you
think this is not real life had to

120
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.840
have just come over her. I
can't even fathom watching that scene. I

121
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.080
don't think I could get through this
documentary. No. I've heard a lot

122
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.240
of people tell me that that they've
tried watching A Nightmare and Lost Cruises,

123
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.919
but it's just too much for them
because they show such disturbing, gritty footage.

124
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.200
But I guess if there's a silver
lining, it's that Audrey did get

125
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.559
remarried and have two more children.
So even though she lost everything, which

126
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.639
would have completely broken some people,
she was able to recover and live a

127
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.080
full life, though I'm sure she
still struggles with the trauma every day.

128
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.720
As you recall, Stephanie Cenac's brother
Steve, stopped by the alley mere minutes

129
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:45.159
before the crime took place and likely
saw the two perpetrators hanging around outside.

130
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.200
One detail I've always been curious about
is the fact that the alley's front doors

131
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.039
were unlocked, even though they were
not scheduled to open for business for nearly

132
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.200
another hour. It seems like Stephanie
just simply forgot to lock them, and

133
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.600
Steve said that he even mentioned this
to her when he picked up his backpack

134
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.639
from her office. According to Steve, he could have locked the doors himself

135
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.720
while he was leaving, but he
didn't have his keys with him. So

136
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.840
I guess my big question is did
the two gunmen know the doors were going

137
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.000
to be unlocked? If they saw
Steve leave without locking the door behind him,

138
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.320
then this could have made them realize
that they could just walk right in.

139
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.679
But if Stephanie had locked the doors, then what was their original plan?

140
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.159
How would they have convinced anyone to
let them inside. I have to

141
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.240
wonder if they initially intended to enter
the bowling Alley after it opened for business

142
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.559
at nine am, and it was
just dumb luck that they found out the

143
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.480
doors were unlocked and were able to
do it earlier. I definitely do not

144
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.039
think that it was just two people
passing by going ooh, let's rob the

145
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.039
bowling Alley. I just saw this
kid leave and the doors were unlocked.

146
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.120
This is so planned and calculated.
But what did happen and what could be

147
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.759
the case is exactly what you just
said, Robin. They were watching and

148
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.639
canvassing the bowling alley, making their
figuring out what they're doing, and they

149
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.480
see Steve leave, he does not
lock the door, and they say,

150
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.080
shoot, let's go now. It's
way less difficult when the public's not there.

151
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.679
We're going to go before they open. Now. The reality is is

152
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.919
if that was the case, if
they were waiting till nine nine to fifteen,

153
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.080
nine thirty, when the front door
should have been unlocked to the public,

154
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.120
it's very possible that when ten,
fifteen, twenty people are setting up

155
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.320
to bowl, that they got executed
first, and then they forced employees into

156
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.960
the office and killed all of them
as well. And so it's scary to

157
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.519
think had those doors not been unlocked, would they have been just as comfortable

158
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.000
killing thirty people forty people. These
are the kind of men that I would

159
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.159
say absolutely they wouldn't have cared how
many people were in the bowling alley at

160
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.919
the time. If you're willing to
kill tiny children, a two year old

161
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.480
baby, then I just don't think
that the sheer number of people is going

162
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.720
to be something that's going to deter
or you in any way, shape or

163
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.159
form. Like you can argue that
those actions are psychopathic to be able to

164
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.039
kill the most innocent. It's like
people that kill animals or torture animals or

165
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.480
torture children, kill children. These
people, and I mean, I don't

166
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.000
know if one was the dominant and
one was the submissive, if one was

167
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.279
kind of leading them and not forcing
the other one's hand, but motivating them

168
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.120
to do what needed to be done. They may have had different profiles like

169
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:37.039
personality wise, but either way,
it's absolutely egregious to be annihilating children.

170
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.600
So I agree with you Ash.
I think there was no way that even

171
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.200
if there was thirty or forty people, if they thought that they could get

172
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.360
away with it, I think they
would have gone through with it. And

173
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.960
you got to think too, that
two year old that they executed, that's

174
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.759
a baby that's still being carried by
their parents, that likely still wearing a

175
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.720
diaper. I mean, this is
a tiny child. And they looked at

176
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.000
that baby's face, that baby was
looking at them, and they shot her

177
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.039
in the forehead. That is it's
just insanity. It is pure, pure

178
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.480
darkness. Now, one aspect to
this story, which rarely gets mentioned,

179
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.759
is that another similar crime took place
in Las Crusis less than one month earlier.

180
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.720
On the morning of January fourteenth,
nineteen ninety, thirty two year old

181
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.639
Salvador Lozano showed up for his job
as an attendant at raised Shell service station

182
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.320
and open for business at eight am, but around two hours later, customers

183
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.879
walked inside to discover Salvator's body on
the floor. Someone had bound his hands

184
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.039
behind his back and fired a bullet
into the back of his head before stealing

185
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.639
five hundred dollars from the station.
Sadly, Salvador's wife gave birth to a

186
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.279
baby girl only two days after he
was murdered. This case has not gotten

187
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.919
nearly as much attention as the Bowling
Alley massacre, but it also remains unsolved

188
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.919
to this day. At the time, investigators did not believe that there was

189
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.399
any connection between the two crimes,
but it's hard to overlook the similarities.

190
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.159
Both of them took place in the
early morning hours, around the time the

191
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.039
business opened, and in each case, robbery was involved and the victim was

192
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.840
shot in the head while they were
lying on the floor. Several months later,

193
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.399
a man named Robert McDaniel was arrested
on forgery charges and claimed that he'd

194
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.840
been present when Salvador Alazana was killed, and then he also knew the identities

195
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.159
of the people who committed the Bowling
Alley massacre, but much of the information

196
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.960
McDaniel provided turned out to be false, And as far as I can tell,

197
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.120
if this lead never went anywhere,
these sound very similar. You have

198
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:45.159
somebody who waited for a business to
open. They went in and ordered the

199
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.559
owner to get on the floor,
They got money from the cash register or

200
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.519
the back office, and then they
shoot the individuals that are on the floor

201
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.399
in the head and walk out.
And it's only a month later. The

202
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.320
Bowling Alley is much more escalated.
Had you committed a crime in the same

203
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.720
town, of the same magnitude,
where you kill the person and there's kind

204
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.000
of no heat coming in your direction, you would be even more inclined and

205
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.080
more brazen to say, we've gotten
away with it. Let's go. I

206
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.159
don't care if there's seven people there. I don't care if there's forty people

207
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.879
there. Let's do this. I
bet there's more money at the Bowling Alley

208
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.440
than there was at the gas station, and I think it is. I

209
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.000
mean, if you're responsible not to
say could these two be linked? It

210
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.440
frustrates me to no end when you
have people like Robert McDaniel, who say,

211
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.679
oh, I was present and I
know who did the Bowling Alley murder,

212
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.480
and he feeds police false information because
he stole time and resources that those

213
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.120
officers could have been following the lead
that actually could go somewhere. Oh yes,

214
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.720
it seems very obvious that McDaniel was
just saying that to maybe help beat

215
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.320
his own forgery charges. It's very
common for sometimes arrested criminals to make out

216
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:58.120
false leads about other unsolved crimes in
order to help themselves, so I wouldn't

217
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.960
put much stock into what he says, but I do agree that I don't

218
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:06.240
think Salvatory A. Lozzano's murder got
much attention in the local press at all,

219
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.480
So if this was committed by the
same person, I could see them

220
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.320
feeling empowered and thinking, we can
do this again, and let's do it

221
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.559
at a bowling alley. But I'm
sure that because the Bowling Alley massacre had

222
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.559
a total of seven victims, some
of them being children, and got so

223
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.559
much mainstream news, I'm sure they
realized that if we do this again,

224
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.440
we can't do it in Las Crusis
because it's just going to bring us a

225
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:32.679
tiny heat doesn't it seem like an
odd time, Like, don't you both

226
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:37.440
think for somebody to decide to rob
a place, you're robbing an establishment,

227
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:44.320
be it the shelf, service station
or the bowling alley in the morning hours,

228
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.960
how do you know that they haven't
deposited the money from the day before.

229
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.639
You would think at the end of
the evening, when they're closing,

230
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.759
before they've gone and done a bank
deposit, would be the best time to

231
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.240
strike, would it not? Exactly? Yeah, from my experience work in

232
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.799
retail, it was common practice for
the manager to drop off the knight's deposit

233
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.599
at the bank at closing so that
there wouldn't be all that much money in

234
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.799
the store when they opened the following
morning. And I recently did a Trail

235
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.119
Went Cold episode about this about the
Lane Bryant shooting, which was another mass

236
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.000
murder which took place at a Lane
Bryant clothing store in Illinois in two thousand

237
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.440
and eight, And it was the
same type of thing where the perpetrator came

238
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.759
in in the early morning hours,
right after the opened, and there just

239
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.799
wasn't that much money on the premises, so they killed all these people for

240
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.559
a very small take. So it
always is weird to me when people decide

241
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.279
to perform robberies that early in the
morning. So, on one hand,

242
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.839
I could see how the same person
or persons who shot Salvador A Lozzano might

243
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.920
be responsible for what happened at Las
Crus's Bowl. It's possible that the perpetrators

244
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.440
were planning a robbery and only expected
one or two employees to be on the

245
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.519
premises. According to the surviving victims, the gunman seemed flustered by the fact

246
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.559
that so many people were there,
and I'm sure they must have really been

247
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.400
taken by surprise when Stephen Turan and
his two girls came walking in. But

248
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.279
even though they took between four thousand
and five thousand dollars from the safe,

249
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.000
the fact that they still left some
money behind makes me think that robbery was

250
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.400
not the primary motive for this crime. The two men looked through some cabinets

251
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.960
before they even opened the safe.
They gave off the impression that they were

252
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.880
searching for something else and became frustrated
when they could not find it. I

253
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:32.839
know there's been speculation that the perpetrators
were searching for a stash of drugs,

254
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.160
which I'm sure was fueled by the
rumors the Bowling Alley's bartender, RJ Senak

255
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.240
was heavily involved in drugs and performed
drug transactions on the premises. Unfortunately,

256
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.839
there was virtually no information out there
about RJ other than what was presented in

257
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:53.160
The Nightmare and Los Cruse's documentary.
The police thought he seemed very distant when

258
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.039
questioned about the murders, but they
couldn't find any evidence to implicate him,

259
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:03.079
and he died of an apparent drug
over seven years later. If RJ was

260
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.920
involved with drugs, I guess it's
possible that the two men were expecting him

261
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.240
to be at the Bowling Alley that
morning and became frustrated when they discovered he

262
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.799
wasn't. But if they originally went
there searching for something like a secret stash

263
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.119
of drugs, it's surprising that they
wouldn't even attempt to ask Stephanie or anyone

264
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.680
else where. It was that was
gonna be my question for you, Robin.

265
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:29.240
Do we know if what conversation was
had or was the only communication basically,

266
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.359
get in the office, get on
the floor, keep your mouth shut,

267
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.240
and that's about all they dialogue about. Because if not, were their

268
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.759
questions like or were their statements when
the father walks in with these two kids,

269
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.480
like oh you know, oh crap, Well we're doing it still.

270
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.319
I mean, were there any kind
of comments that alluded to the mindset of

271
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:55.279
these people or what their intent was, or was it very formulaic and calculated

272
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.480
in what they said to these people? Yeah, that's what I From what

273
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.000
I can tell from the surviving victims, the dialogue was very limited and it

274
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.240
was nothing more than just simple orders
like get on the floor, open the

275
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.240
safe, get in the office.
And they didn't ask any questions, so

276
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.680
if they were searching for something,
they didn't try to acquire for Stephanie and

277
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.000
say stuff like where's the rest of
the money or where's the drugs? So

278
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:22.720
that's what makes it all the more
bizarre. Was this bar and restaurant or

279
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880
was it just like a bar with
alcohol? I think it was just a

280
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.799
bar with alcohol, because I know
they had a snack bar there where Ida

281
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.359
worked as the cook. So I
have a feeling that it was probably just

282
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.559
a snack bar which serves some food
and the bar was completely separate. So

283
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.839
if that is the case, I
think it would be strange to assume that

284
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:48.279
prior to nine am that RJ would
be there, because if it's a bar

285
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.279
that just serves alcohol. I don't
know what the liquor laws are in New

286
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.240
Mexico, but I would think at
nine AM, you're likely not allowed to

287
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.680
serve liquor, and if you wanted
to have a non alcoholic beverage, you'd

288
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.839
likely go to the snack bar.
Correct. Yeah, that sounds like a

289
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.359
good point. I can't see a
bowling alley serving alcohol that early in the

290
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.759
morning. And of course I have
a feeling that if they were specifically looking

291
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.359
for RJ, they would have asked
Stephanie or the other employees, where's RJ.

292
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.960
But I see no indication that they
did that. There's always been suspicion

293
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.640
that the crime is somehow related to
RJ's father, Ron Senak, who owned

294
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:29.200
Los Cruse's Bowl and was aware in
Arizona when this took place. Now,

295
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.119
before I talk any more about Ron, I should preface this by stating he

296
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.160
was thoroughly investigated by law enforcement,
and one investigator even stated that he was

297
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:42.119
quote put under a microscope and they
couldn't find anything to suggest that he was

298
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:48.920
involved in the murders or any illegal
activities. But if you watch Ron's interviews

299
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.160
in a Nightmare and Loss Crusis,
it's easy to believe that there's still something

300
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.319
off about this guy. He surprised
a lot of people by deciding to reopen

301
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.319
the alley for business only one week
after the crime, but the way he

302
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.680
tells it, there was a big
demand for it. Ron claims that a

303
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:10.400
church league bowling tournament had been scheduled
for Los Cruse's Bowl two days after the

304
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.880
shootings, and the people involved became
quite upset when they discovered that the place

305
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.279
was closed. I mean, it
would be one thing if Ron was just

306
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.200
some greedy business owner who didn't want
to lose money over a crime taking place

307
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.160
at his establishment. But his own
daughter and granddaughter were shot, and as

308
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.599
you know, Stephanie Seenak died in
nineteen ninety nine due to complications from her

309
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.400
injuries, and by all accounts,
she lived the rest of her life in

310
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:40.200
constant fear and rarely left her home
because the men who shot her were still

311
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:45.119
out there somewhere. During the documentary, some people stated that one of the

312
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.000
hardest things for Stephanie was that the
rest of her family just seemed to have

313
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.480
a get over it and move on
attitude and did not fully grasp the trauma

314
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.960
that she was experiencing. So maybe
the Scenacs were just a very unemotional family

315
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.440
in general, which might explain why
Ron comes across as rather cold during his

316
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.039
interviews. But I think one of
the most troubling things about Ron is that

317
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:12.759
he makes a couple statements in the
documentary which are directly contradicted by investigators.

318
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.160
For example, Ron claims that the
police told him that the shooting was a

319
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.319
random crime, but then cut to
one of the detectives who denies ever,

320
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.200
telling Ron that since the police had
no idea if it was random or not.

321
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.160
Ron also says that in the week
following the massacre, he visited the

322
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.400
police department every day to check on
the progress of the investigation, but they

323
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:40.279
claimed that this isn't true and that
they always had to contact Ron themselves whenever

324
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.559
they wanted to speak with him.
Perhaps Ron is just remembering things incorrectly,

325
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.440
but I can see why people would
get the impression that he might be hiding

326
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.680
something. It seems like either he
just lacks some common sense or maybe apathy,

327
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:59.400
or that he just doesn't make good
decisions. Because think about Ron and

328
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.759
his poor family right, like his
son struggles with drugs and Dad's like,

329
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.920
you know what, son, you
have an addiction problem. I'm gonna have

330
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.920
you run the bar at my bowling
alley. Like not a smart decision.

331
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.200
Ron wants to open up for the
church tournament. A lot of people would

332
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.319
say, like, oh, that's
not the best emotional decision. But again,

333
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.359
we've talked about how grief might have
played a role there. We're saying

334
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.160
I will open this establishment. It
is a loving family place, and that's

335
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:29.599
what it's going to continue to be
represented as. But I doubt the church

336
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.000
goers were like, listen, you
don't open those doors. After this baby

337
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.240
was murdered in this place, I'm
gonna be so mad at you. I

338
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.160
think people would understand, especially when
they're also preparing funerals for these people.

339
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.240
But it does just seem like Ron
also might just be off, doesn't manage

340
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.759
money well, makes bad decisions,
might not be monitoring problems with his own

341
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.319
family and business the way he should
be. So could it be sinister,

342
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.039
sure? Could it also just be
someone who lacks some of the common sense

343
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.920
you would expect it so you see
that come through on a documentary. I

344
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.359
think that's possible. Too. That's
what I think as well, and it

345
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.880
makes me feel just so horrible for
Stephanie because when you see Ron interviewed,

346
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.839
you think this is not the guy
I would want to be my father in

347
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.039
trying to take care of me while
I'm recovering from a debilitating shooting that has

348
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.359
essentially turned me into an agoraphobic.
And like everyone said, that was one

349
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:22.839
of the worst things with her to
deal with the trauma is that it does

350
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.359
not sound like she got a lot
of support from her family, who probably

351
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.240
just wanted her to get back to
work at the bowling alley or something and

352
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.839
just did not realize that she is
just incapable of doing that because of all

353
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:38.480
the trauma. Now here's a weird
coincidence. At around six am on March

354
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:44.039
fourth, nineteen ninety one, a
fifty five year old custodian named James Chapman

355
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.480
was cleaning the Ideal Lane's Bowling Alley
in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, when

356
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.440
he was fatally shot in the head
during an attempt at burglary. Police did

357
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.359
not believe the crime was connected to
the Los Cruses massacre, and a career

358
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.400
criminal named Carl Percy Libernois was eventually
charged convicted of first degree murder and aggravated

359
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.720
burglary. Well, it turned out
that before he built Los Cruse's Bowl,

360
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.920
Ron Senak had also owned Ideal Lanes, as the business license was listed under

361
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.240
his name until nineteen eighty five,
before its ownership was transferred to a financial

362
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:21.519
institution by a federal bankruptcy court.
Again, the two separate shootings are nothing

363
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.960
more than a coincidence, but it's
interesting how Ron ran into financial problems with

364
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.720
two separate bowling alleys. And here's
one more interesting anecdote. In July of

365
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.880
nineteen ninety two, after Los Cruse's
Bull was bought out and renamed Sun Lanes,

366
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.759
a forty four year old civilian Otero
County Sheriff's employee named Roy Nichols fatally

367
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.559
shot his twenty four year old ex
girlfriend, Vicky Dean to death in the

368
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:51.000
Bowling Alley parking lot before turning the
gun on himself in a murder suicide.

369
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.240
So it's pretty crazy that so many
shootings seem to take place at bowling alleys

370
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.880
in New Mexico. Oh, it's
tragic, and it's very busy are but

371
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:07.240
is I find it really interesting that
Ron had filed for bankruptcy before or was

372
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.440
actually taken to court because he's not
paying the bills and the least and the

373
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.039
things that he needs to pay for
Bowling Alley number one, And then you

374
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:21.240
see the same thing happen where he
falls into financial trouble and he loses the

375
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.119
Bowling Alley. What a month after
these murders take place. It does make

376
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.519
you just question what kind of poor
decisions could he have made, What kind

377
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.000
of business enemies could he have made, What kind of promises could he have

378
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:40.799
made to people that might have gotten
him surrounded by individuals capable of such brutality.

379
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.640
It's not a random crime. We
know that there was planning, There

380
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.119
was confidence by these men who went
in. Now, is it planning and

381
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.960
confidence because they've pulled it off before, like with the gas station attendant or

382
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.920
the owner of the little quick mart. Possibly, but it also feels very

383
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.160
much like they knew a lot about
that Bowling Alley and they had something specific

384
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.400
that they wanted to accomplish that day. Yeah, we talked about this how

385
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.200
Rod may not have been knowingly involved
in anything legal, but he does come

386
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.599
across as someone who does not have
a lot of common sense and good decision

387
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.319
making skills when it comes to running
a business. So it is quite interesting

388
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.640
to learn that he had another bowling
alley go bankrupt only five years earlier,

389
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.200
and we even speculated that this may
have been one of the reasons that he

390
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.680
reopened Sunlight Las Cruce's Bowl so soon
after the massacre, because he needed the

391
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.640
money badly and needed the income to
come in. So it could be a

392
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:41.079
thing where he may not have technically
done anything wrong, but his bad decision

393
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.200
making could have done something to anger
the wrong people. And I don't think

394
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.039
it's outside the realm of possibility to
believe that he could be hiding something,

395
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:55.880
just based on the fact that he
seems to fabricate certain details. Like Ashley

396
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.759
had said after we'd mentioned about the
church group not being able to do their

397
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.599
tournament, and he said that they
were upset. I don't believe, for

398
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.279
any like, by any stretch of
the imagination, that any church group is

399
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.799
going to push ahead to want to
have a bowling tournament at this place where

400
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.079
a massacre just took place, and
then secondly that if they can't have this

401
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.519
tournament, that they're going to be
very upset. Two days after this happened,

402
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:26.279
knowing that the owner's daughter and granddaughter
were shot. That just doesn't compute

403
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.160
for me. I think it's a
full on fabrication in my opinion. Allegedly,

404
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.880
and then the situation where he's saying
that he contacted the police NonStop every

405
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.119
day to see what was going on. We learned that that's not the case.

406
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:44.440
And then the fact that he said
that the police officer had said that

407
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.640
they had to contact him. So
it's it just feels like he's not giving

408
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:53.400
us an accurate rendition of the way
that events are playing out, and he's

409
00:29:53.440 --> 00:30:00.599
overstating his involvement. So for us
to then believe that there's a p that

410
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.119
he's holding on to some information or
he's hiding something, Not that it would

411
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:10.759
necessarily incriminate him, but potentially he
may have done some things, angered some

412
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.400
people, made some poor decisions and
that might have been responsible for what happened.

413
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.359
Anything is possible. And also his
son RJ, who died of a

414
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.000
drug over those years later, Like
maybe he knew information about something RJE was

415
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.880
involved in, but he wanted to
protect his son and was not forthcoming about

416
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.200
it, or maybe he was just
in denial that his son had some addiction

417
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.359
issues. The possibilities are just pretty
endless here. I know the police never

418
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:41.440
found any evidence to incriminate Ron Senak, and it's possible that he legitimately doesn't

419
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.480
know anything, But I still wonder
if the crime was a result of something

420
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.400
he was connected with. The two
gunmen who entered Los Cruse's bull may have

421
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.960
been expecting Rond to be there and
were unaware that he left on a weekend

422
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.839
trip to Arizona. There's been speculation
that the crime was some sort of professional

423
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.559
hit intended to send a message to
the Senac family, which is why Stephanie

424
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.039
and Melissa were shot. This theory
is supported by the fact that some witnesses,

425
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.680
including Idaho Gien, believe they saw
these two men frequenting the alley on

426
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.839
a prior occasion, and they did
not appear to be doing anything but sitting

427
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:21.319
there and staring at everybody, as
if they were casing the place. The

428
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.640
perpetrators also set fire to the desk
in the office in an apparent attempt to

429
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.720
destroy evidence, which is not the
sort of thing that you'll usually find if

430
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.000
the motive for the crime was simply
robbery, if Melissa had not been able

431
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.640
to make her phone call the nine
one one. It's possible the fire would

432
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.240
have completely engulfed the office and killed
everyone there, and without the accounts of

433
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.720
the survivors, people might look at
this case in a much different light.

434
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.240
For sure. I also think you
have to again pay attention to the ages

435
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:55.160
of the perpetrators. These were older
men. These were people that were described

436
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.680
in their thirties and forties, maybe
forties to fifties. These were not young

437
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:04.279
teenagers doing some chaotic robbery that they
kind of got overwhelmed and killed people.

438
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.680
They knew what they were doing.
They had clear instruction of what they needed

439
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:12.240
people to do. Get in the
office, open the safe, lie on

440
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.079
the floor, and when they got
what they wanted, they executed these people

441
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.839
by shooting them in the head and
even shooting a child who was looking at

442
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.319
them. And so for me,
it makes sense that these are careered criminals.

443
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.960
These are people who understand that one
they're capable of it, that they

444
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.880
can get away with it, that
they're entitled to do what they want and

445
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.519
can take a life with the drop
of a of a bullet in their head.

446
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.319
I mean, it's insane to me
so to think could they have been

447
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:46.440
professional hitmen or people hired to kill
these individuals. I think that's very possible.

448
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.559
I think that it is very possible. They wanted revenge, They wanted

449
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.240
to make a point, They wanted
to send a message either Ron or his

450
00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:00.640
son. Nothing in the women's background
has this idea that they associated with ced

451
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.839
people. But dad and son have
a different background. They seem to have

452
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.759
a questionable behavior, and so the
fact that these men were seen prior to

453
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:15.519
the crime casing the place and sitting
back awkwardly watching family's bowl, watching employees'

454
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:21.480
behavior, it definitely signals something of
a planned attack that was meant to say

455
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:27.720
something and to leave no survivors that
could identify who they were. However,

456
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.640
if the crime was a professional hit
designed to send some sort of message to

457
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:36.119
Ron Scenac, it was a very
sloppy one. Even though they fired around

458
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.119
twenty five shots to the victims,
the perpetrators did not check to make sure

459
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.559
everyone was dead, and three of
the victims wound up surviving. Also,

460
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:47.400
if this was some sort of hit
against the Senac family, it's surprising they

461
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.759
would have let Steve Senak leave before
they went inside. As murdering the owner's

462
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:57.799
son definitely fits a revenge scheme.
While I believe that godmen were always planning

463
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.920
to murder everyone no matter what,
I think, the sloppiness of this crime

464
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:05.319
is due largely to the fact that
they had to deal with a lot more

465
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.400
people than they expected and were caught
completely off guard when Stephen Turan and his

466
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:15.079
two daughters came walking into the office. Whatever the case, I still believe

467
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.199
the main reason for committing this crime
is because they wanted something else from that

468
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:23.159
bowling alley besides the money inside the
safe. Otherwise, I see no reason

469
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:27.719
why they would have left some of
that money behind. Otherwise, I see

470
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.119
no reason why they would have left
some of that money behind. I think

471
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:35.760
there is still definitely a big piece
of the puzzle missing here. I think

472
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:39.079
there could be. Is it possible
too that the twenty five shots? Wow,

473
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.920
you're right. If they're professional hitmen, you almost think they would know

474
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.760
how to shoot and kill with a
single bullet or two. But is it

475
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.039
possible that twenty five shots is all
they had to fire off? That is

476
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:52.559
true. Yeah, we don't have
no how many bullets they had in their

477
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.239
guns, but it could be a
thing. Is that they just fired everything

478
00:34:55.239 --> 00:35:00.800
they had, and even though some
of the victims were not dead yet,

479
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.639
they figured, well, we can
don't have anything else to shoot them with,

480
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.480
Let's just start a fire and hopefully
they'll be engulfed when the fire completely

481
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:12.360
destroys the office. But they may
not have expected that Melissa would have enough

482
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.280
wherewithal to get back up and call
nine one one. I think if you

483
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.280
shot them in the head, your
idea would be there at least incapacitated enough

484
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.159
not to be able to get away
from smoke, inhalation and all the things

485
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.599
that would come from a fire in
golfing that office. Maybe that was a

486
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.239
thought, But then again, remember
we all just talked about the fact that

487
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:35.199
they also could have planned to shoot
when the bowling alley opened, which would

488
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.239
have meant they probably were prepared with
more bullets, because what if there was

489
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.960
a family bullying? What if there
were fifteen people that walked in when the

490
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:49.320
door's opened. There's been some confusion
about whether the two gunmen brought vehicles to

491
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:54.079
the scene. Some early newspaper articles
about this case say that the perpetrators may

492
00:35:54.079 --> 00:36:00.000
be driving a four wheel drive vehicle, possibly a van, but this detail

493
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:04.480
is not mentioned in A Nightmare and
Los Crusus, or most recent accounts of

494
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:08.280
the case, so I'm not sure
how legitimate this information is. There are

495
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:14.280
apparently eyewitness accounts to the two men
running across Amador Street, and as far

496
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.960
as I know, Steve Senak did
not report seeing any additional vehicles parked near

497
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.119
the alley when he was there.
I would be really curious to know if

498
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:27.039
the perpetrators had access to a vehicle
that morning, which would have allowed them

499
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.000
to flee Lost Crusus. I know
investigators spoke to a woman named Irma Tierna

500
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:36.159
who claimed that she harbored too men
at her place following the shooting, and

501
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.400
they were right under the police's noses
while they were searching for them. But

502
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:45.440
even though she passed a polygraph test, Tirina later recounted her story and died

503
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:49.039
of a drug overdose. And this
lead hit a dead end, much like

504
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.679
the drug angle with RJ. Senak. The sole source of Irma Tirrena's story

505
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:58.280
is a Nightmare and Los Crusus,
so we don't have any additional information about

506
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:02.280
her. Truthfully, unless they had
no access to transportation, I would be

507
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:07.599
really surprised if the gunmen remained in
Los cruises following the shooting. They had

508
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.639
to know the committee a crime in
which they shot seven people, four of

509
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.440
them children, was going to bring
a ton of heat the likes of which

510
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.320
the area had never seen before.
I know the police set up roadblocks to

511
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.360
check everyone who was leaving town,
but this did not take place until around

512
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.480
two thirty pm, so the perpetrators
already had a six hour head start.

513
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.119
Los Crusis is only forty five miles
from the Mexican border, so they would

514
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:36.880
have had more than enough time to
flee the country before the manhunt started.

515
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:39.599
For all we know, both of
these men may have spent the past three

516
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:45.360
decades living in Mexico and never returned
to the US. This would explain why

517
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.679
law enforcement had no success in tracking
them down or identifying them, even though

518
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:53.159
the composite sketches of their faces had
been plastered everywhere. Oh, that's very

519
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.960
possible. I didn't realize the location
of where this city was located. But

520
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.880
you're right. If they're only forty
five miles from the Mexican border, that

521
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.199
can't take more than an hour an
hour and fifteen minutes to get to the

522
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:09.840
Mexican border. They're Hispanic men,
so it's possible that that's their hometown is

523
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:15.679
in Mexico, that they have family
in Mexico, that they have a place

524
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:19.800
that's safe and can harbor them there
where they can just disappear and come home

525
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.000
and no one knows what happened.
And you know, that's over in the

526
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:25.440
United States, that's in New Mexico, and we're here in Mexico. Right,

527
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:29.360
it's just these two separate worlds,
even though it's only forty five miles

528
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:32.679
apart. So for me, I
would think that these two men had a

529
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:37.559
car, had a vehicle, but
that it would have been parked a couple

530
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:43.079
blocks away or behind a few establishments
away from the bowling Alley. They wouldn't

531
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.360
be as brazen. I don't think
to pull up to the front of the

532
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.920
bowling alley, park their car and
then go in. Remember they're scene running

533
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:57.280
across the street. I'm assuming they
strategically placed their car and that's how they

534
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.280
eventually got away. The police doing
a roadblock two thirty I just don't think

535
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.719
you had any hope of that being
successful. It's too far gone. Even

536
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.800
if these men were on foot six
hours later, they're sixty miles away,

537
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:13.199
you know, I mean they're jogging, running, doing something. Yea,

538
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.800
there at least they could have probably
gone to the border by two thirty,

539
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:21.320
So I just I think they had
to have a vehicle somewhere close. Yeah,

540
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.840
I do agree. It's fairly common
practice sometimes for robbers to part their

541
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:28.559
cars away from the location where they're
committing their crime, just in case any

542
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.320
witnesses come by and can't identify their
vehicle. And back in nineteen ninety,

543
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:37.159
border security was a lot more lax, and two Hispanic looking men just driving

544
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:43.039
across the border into Mexico is not
going to raise any red flags, particularly

545
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:45.920
since word about the shooting did not
spread for several hours. So yeah,

546
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.920
they somehow managed to make it to
the border before they started circulating their sketches,

547
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.679
and they remain managed to remain under
the radar, Then you can understand

548
00:39:53.719 --> 00:40:00.360
why they've never been caught. And
here's a pretty horrifying thought. If these

549
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.480
men were capable of firing a bullet
into the head of a two year old

550
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:07.199
girl, then they were certainly capable
of committing other horrific crimes. So who

551
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:12.639
knows what else they may have done
and gotten away with After all this time,

552
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.480
we can't even be one hundred percent
certain that the perpetrators are still alive,

553
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.360
especially since one of them was described
as being in his late forties or

554
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:23.800
early fifties. But the good news
is that this story has continually remained in

555
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:29.679
the spotlight since nineteen ninety as it
seems like everyone associated with this case has

556
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:34.119
been relentless in their attempts to get
it solved and bring the perpetrators to justice.

557
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.320
I'm sure they will not give up, and hopefully we will see closures

558
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:43.000
someday. There was currently a thirty
two thousand dollars reward for information, so

559
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.840
if you happen to know anything about
the Los Cruses Bowling Alley massacre, please

560
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:52.000
contact crime Stoppers at one eight hundred
two to two tips. That's one eight

561
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:58.719
hundred two to two eight four seven
seven. Jules asked any final thoughts in

562
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:04.519
this case we see justice in the
form of answers in the case. I

563
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.920
don't know that you're ever going to
have these perpetrators brought to justice because,

564
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.360
like you said, these men were
described as in their thirties to forties or

565
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:16.199
forties to fifties, which would make
them at this time what eighty three years

566
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:22.440
old potentially or even older. So
what might be a perk in that event

567
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:28.719
is that if one of these individuals
passes away, that on their deathbed they

568
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:34.760
make a confession that they've confided in
somebody, and once that person is deceased,

569
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:38.159
the person that they confided in or
told or bragged about this crime to

570
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.599
says, listen, there's no more
risk. I don't have to protect this

571
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.719
person. Yes, I loved them, but I want this case to have

572
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.239
answers, and it is possible that
somebody would come forward and share that information

573
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.519
after the death of these two perpetrators. So my prayer is that the case

574
00:41:53.559 --> 00:42:00.159
continues to remain in the spotlight,
that there continues to be a remembrance of

575
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.880
these victims from the tiniest little two
year old up to their father, and

576
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:09.119
that you have people that not only
keep their memory alive, but continue to

577
00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:14.039
fight for and raise awareness so that
someone does come forward one day. It

578
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.960
is one of the most tragic and
horrific cases I've heard of because of the

579
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.320
callousness of it, because of the
lack of information, and that it seems

580
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:27.400
as if it's very difficult to look
away from the reality these people have done

581
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:32.440
something like this before. To have
that much confidence and that little care for

582
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.519
the people that they took that day. This case is such a tragedy,

583
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:43.719
just the outright evil to kill four
people at the bowling alley and to shoot

584
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.840
small children, a two year old
baby. I just think there's a very

585
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:53.079
few cases where we see such disregard
for human life. Like Ashley had brought

586
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:57.320
up earlier in one of our episodes, what is the likelihood that a two

587
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.760
year old is going to be able
to report any deep tales about those who

588
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:07.199
are the perpetrators, Like there's there's
no chance they likely could not articulate anything,

589
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.679
and there's going to be so much
trauma associated with this. I'm I'm

590
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:14.880
just in shock. I was familiar
with this case before we covered it,

591
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:19.119
but I find it to be a
case of contradictions in that it seems so

592
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.599
calculated and like it could be a
deliberate hit. But then there's bits of

593
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:28.880
it where you have three surviving victims
where you shot them all but you didn't

594
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.280
check to see if they were dead. You had two people who were perpetrators,

595
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.159
you would think that one of them
would have been there checking to see

596
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:38.960
if these individuals were deceased. If
you cared enough to point a gun and

597
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.639
shoot at them. You'd think that
you would care enough to find out if

598
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:46.639
they were indeed deceased, and they
didn't do that, which is so strange,

599
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:52.440
and it seems like it must have
been aimed at rj or Ron Senac.

600
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:57.920
But then you have the other son, Steve Senak, who if it

601
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.199
was going to be some family vendetta, why didn't they go after him.

602
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.400
I'm really confounded by the fact that
somebody hasn't come forward. I mean,

603
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:09.880
we had Tireena come forward. And
although the logical part of my brain wants

604
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:14.920
to think that these guys left Las
crusis if they had access to a vehicle,

605
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:17.320
which I think if you're going to
commit a crime like this, you

606
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:22.159
would want to have a vehicle parked
somewhere. But maybe they knew ti Arena

607
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.480
or they ran into her and thought
this is a place to just hide out

608
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.679
the fact that she passed a polygraph
whatever in regard you want to pay to

609
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.800
polygraphs. I mean, I think
there is some validity to her story.

610
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:38.039
It's not just this fabricated story that
she came up with. If she could

611
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:42.719
back it up, like her vital
signs are changing, She's not sweating.

612
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:46.199
It's not obvious that she's lying.
It's just too bad that much like r

613
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:51.119
J. Senac who died of a
drug overdose, we also have Tierna who's

614
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:55.880
dying of a drug overdose. It's
really really heartbreaking. There's so many victims

615
00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.920
in this case, even seeing Stephanie
Senac die those years later after being rendered

616
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:06.840
essentially a goora phobic, so taking
the joy out of her life. It's

617
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:10.639
nice that we see Melissa repass thrive, but there's just so many victims here,

618
00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:15.840
and we've got a community that's victimized. And I think it's really interesting

619
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:22.119
the shell station, the raised shell
station where the individual had their hands bound

620
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:25.039
behind their back and they were shot
and there was five hundred dollars stolen.

621
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.480
It was also in the early morning
hours. I think that the parallels there

622
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.760
are really interesting. And with the
other Bowling Alley were until nineteen eighty five

623
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.159
we saw ron Cenac's name on the
deed until he lost that government forfeiture or

624
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:44.480
bankruptcy or It's all very interesting.
There seems to be these links that are

625
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:46.920
a little more than tenuous, but
I can't quite put my finger on it,

626
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:51.719
and I'm just shocked that this hasn't
been solved by somebody coming forward with

627
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:57.400
information. Yeah, I mentioned earlier
that I still remember seeing this featured on

628
00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:00.719
Unsolved Mysteries and America's Most Wanted back
in now Seen ninety and I seem to

629
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:06.320
recall that their segments were produced very
quickly after the crime took place because there

630
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:08.960
was an urgency involved, saying,
this is one of the most horrific murders

631
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:13.400
to take place in the United States
within the past few years, so we

632
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:15.400
really want to get the word out, show the composite sketches of these two

633
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.400
men, and hopefully it will be
solved soon. And quite honestly, back

634
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:22.559
then, with so much attention being
paid to this, I never thought that

635
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:27.880
we'd be here thirty four years later
and we still wouldn't know the identities of

636
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.559
the people who did this, and
that the crime would still be unsolved.

637
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:35.800
I mean, it's one of those
ones because we have surviving victims, we

638
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.679
know exactly what happened, we know
how the crime was carried out, but

639
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:43.000
the problem is that we just don't
know the identities of the two men who

640
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.199
did this and what their motive was. I've always been inclined to believe that

641
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:51.519
it was something more to this than
a robbery, that there was some sort

642
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:54.239
of personal grudge here, or perhaps
they were looking for something else. But

643
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:59.519
the fact that they showed no qualms
about shooting children and were playing to set

644
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.880
fire to the offs to destroy all
the evidence, and that they had also

645
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:07.000
been allegedly casing the place beforehand,
makes me think that there's just something more

646
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:10.840
to the story. That maybe something
was going on in the senoc family which

647
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.119
investigators have just been unable to figure
it out, which is why these two

648
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:21.360
men decided to target the bowling alley, and because their faces have been circulated

649
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.800
so much, I am inclined to
believe that they probably made it over the

650
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:30.280
Mexican border a short time after this
crime took place, before the major manhunt

651
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.639
started, and if they managed to
stay off the radar, then that could

652
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:37.679
explain why they've never been identified or
caught. I mean, I certainly hope

653
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:40.920
that's not what happened, because I
don't want to rule out the possibility that

654
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.480
they will never be found or that
there aren't people out there with information about

655
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.280
what happened. But because of all
the publicity, I have to assume that

656
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.679
someone out there might have a pretty
good idea who these guys are and maybe

657
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:59.360
has the necessary information to share with
law enforcement which will help this case break

658
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.840
this case why open? I mean, we've seen these past several years that

659
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:06.440
a lot of cold cases that are
decades old have wound up being solved,

660
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.079
and sometimes if they have the necessary
physical evidence, they can still conclusively lake

661
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:15.039
a crime to a deceased suspect and
close the case even though they can't technically

662
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:19.880
charge them. And maybe that will
happen with this case as well, even

663
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.679
if the perpetrators are already deceased.
But it has haunted me, but for

664
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:28.199
just so many decades, so many
years, and there are just so many

665
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.679
victims in this case, a couple
of survivors who are still dealing with trauma

666
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.559
to this day. So if I
had to make a list of cases we've

667
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.280
covered on this podcast that I really
want to see solved in my lifetime,

668
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.239
this would definitely be near right near
the very top. Robin, do you

669
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.719
want to tell us a little bit
about the Trailment Cold Patreon. Yes,

670
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:50.119
the Trail Cold Patreon has been around
for three years now, and we offer

671
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:54.360
these standard bonus features like early ad
free episodes, and I also send out

672
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:59.920
stickers and sign thank you cards to
anyone who signs up with us on Patreon

673
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:05.079
if you join our five dollars tier
Tier two. We also offer monthly bonus

674
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.519
episodes in which I talk about cases
which are not featured on the Trail Went

675
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:13.920
Cold's original feed, so they're exclusive
to Patreon and if you join our highest

676
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.679
tier tier three, the ten dollar
tier. One of the features we offer

677
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:22.119
is a audio commentary track over classic
episodes of UNSAWD Mysteries, where you can

678
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:28.360
download an audio file and then boot
up the original Unsolved Mysteries episode on Amazon

679
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.920
Prime or YouTube and play it with
my audio commentary playing in the background,

680
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.480
where I just provide trivia and factoids
about the cases featured in this episode.

681
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:40.800
And incidentally, the very first episode
that I did a commentary track over was

682
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.079
the episode featuring this case. So
if you want to download a commentary track

683
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:49.960
in which I make more smart ass
remarks about Jewel Kaylor, then be sure

684
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:52.920
to join Tier three. So I
want to let you know a little bit

685
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.960
about the Jewels and Nashty Patreons.
So there's early ad free episodes of the

686
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.079
Path Went Chili. We've got our
Path Went Chili minis, which are always

687
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.880
over an hour, so they're not
very many, but they're just too short

688
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:07.519
to turn into a series, and
we're really enjoying doing those, so we

689
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.639
hope you'll check out those patreons.
We'll link them in the show notes.

690
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:14.000
So I want to thank you all
for listening, and any chance you have

691
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.559
to share us on social media with
a friend or to rate and review is

692
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:21.800
greatly appreciated. You can email us
at the Pathwentchili at gmail dot com.

693
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.559
You can reach us on Twitter at
the Pathwin. So until next time,

694
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:29.920
be sure to bundle up because cold
trails and chili pass call for warm clothing.
