00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.719
Welcome back to the Pathway Chili.
I'm Robin, I'm Jules, and I'm

2
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:40.920
Ashley. Let's dive right into this
week's case. July fifth, two thousand,

3
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.119
Seabrook, New Hampshire. Curtis Peshan, a forty year old former police

4
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:52.079
officer suffering from multiple sclerosis, is
working the graveyard shift as a factory security

5
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.000
guard when his car suddenly catches fire. The fire department shows up to handle

6
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.520
the situation, but less than two
hours after they leave, Curtis inexplicably vanishes

7
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.040
from the premises. Years later,
a former factory worker allegedly brags about causing

8
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.519
Curtis's disappearance, and even though it
is theorized that Curtis was killed after interrupting

9
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.480
a theft, there is no evidence
to arrest anyone, and no trace of

10
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.359
Curtis is ever found. After that, the path went chilly. So today

11
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.239
we're going to be covering a missing
person's case which was featured in Unsolved Mysteries,

12
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.519
the two thousand disappearance of Curtis Pieshan. This is this tragic story of

13
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.439
a man who wanted nothing more than
to become a police officer and was successfully

14
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:41.480
following his dream before his life was
derailed by multiple sclerosis. Because of his

15
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.000
physical imitations, Curtis had to leave
the police force and eventually got a job

16
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.280
as a security guard at a factory, But while he was in the midst

17
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.680
of working the graveyard shift one night, he vanished without a trace. The

18
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.439
circumstances of Curtis's disappearance are very strange, as his car inexplicably caught fire in

19
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.239
the middle of a shift a few
hours before he went missing. Since Curtis's

20
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:08.080
multiple sclerosis caused him to struggle with
depression, there was speculation that the car

21
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.719
fire may have been the breaking point
which prompted him to go off somewhere and

22
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.479
take his own life. However,
as the years have gone by, investigators

23
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.319
are now leaning towards the theory that
Curtis was the victim of foul play and

24
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.800
that one or more of his coworkers
from the factory were responsible. As it

25
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.240
stands right now, it sounds like
this is one of those cases where law

26
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.360
enforcement just lacks that one key piece
of evidence to make an arrest, so

27
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.520
he just disappears. Right if he
had completed suicide, don't you think eventually

28
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.120
his body would have been located.
I mean this is back in two it's

29
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.680
twenty three years. We've seen cases
where it takes decades for someone's body to

30
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.360
be located. But to me,
he would have been discovered if he was

31
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.960
someone who had, because of his
depression, gone off and ended his own

32
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.280
life. Oh yeah, Like he
didn't have a car, and he multiple

33
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.479
sclerosis, so where was he going
to go? Like he couldnot walk a

34
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.639
very long distance, So it's kind
of ridiculous that this theory was even considered

35
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.800
in the first place. And with
multiple scrosis, yes, depression is something

36
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.159
that would be a natural consequence of
being diagnosed with a disease that takes your

37
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.800
physical ability away from you. His
dream was taken away from him, but

38
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.560
he was still working. That's a
big deal. He had a purpose,

39
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.280
he was still providing for himself.
I just, yeah, it seems kind

40
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.000
of erroneous to think, Okay,
he's going to be taking his own life

41
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.080
because of his car caught on fire. Like, the guy's surviving and thriving

42
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.919
despite a diagnosis, So I just
I don't see it. Our story begins

43
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.400
in two thousand and our central figure
is forty year old Curtis Pashan, Curtis

44
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.599
grew up alongside two brothers and a
sister, and their father, Nicholas Pischon,

45
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.599
worked as a military police investigator.
Even though he originally hailed from New

46
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.960
Hampshire, Nicholas's job at his family
to move around a lot, so Curtis

47
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.120
was originally born in Columbus, Georgia, and he would graduate from high school

48
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.000
and attend university in Hawaii. However, ever, since childhood, the only

49
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.519
thing Curtis really wanted to do was
work in law enforcement, so he would

50
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.399
quickly drop out of university and move
to New Hampshire to pursue that career,

51
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.199
as his father had recently retired and
the rest of the Pashon family had moved

52
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.439
back there. Since he was still
too young to join the police academy,

53
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.480
he worked as an emergency dispatcher for
two years before joining the army, where

54
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.959
he served as a military police officer
in Korea. Following his return to the

55
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.319
US, Curtis finally achieved his dream
when he was hired as a patrol officer

56
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.160
at the Concord Police Department in nineteen
eighty four. He would enjoy a successful

57
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.959
career until nineteen ninety, when he
was diagnosed with multiple tulerosis, a muscular

58
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.120
disorder which left him in frequent pain
and made it difficult for him to walk.

59
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.519
The disease eventually press to the point
that it would be impossible for Curtis

60
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.000
to fire his gun accurately, so
he was forced to retire from the police

61
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.720
force in nineteen ninety four. According
to Curtis's family, his personality completely changed

62
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.040
as he became very withdrawn and depressed
about a situation. While he collected a

63
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.600
police pension, Curtis had trouble securing
and holding down a steady job, and

64
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.920
he seemed unsure about what to do
with his life. He wound up moving

65
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.399
into the Highland Inn, a residential
hotel in the town of Hampton, and

66
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.800
rarely spent much time socializing. Curtis
had passed issues with drinking, which caused

67
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.839
him to do a stint in rehab
during his time with the police force,

68
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.040
but his condition would only cause his
problems with alcohol to worsen. At one

69
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.319
point, he got a job as
a security guard, but wound up getting

70
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.279
fired after showing up drunk for one
of his shifts. Well, if you

71
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.680
think about the police culture in general, they're not all officers but there is

72
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.600
a group of officers who handle stress
with alcohol, right like any other human

73
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.040
being who says like I can handle
it with working out, I can handle

74
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.079
it with alcohol, I can handle
it with time with my family. So

75
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.439
in that line of work, I
don't think it would be highly crazy to

76
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.000
see a problem with alcohol be intensified. They have programs where if you come

77
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.680
forward and say I need help,
they help you, which sounds like what

78
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.560
happened in this case with Curtis.
He actually served time in a rehab and

79
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.240
went to rehab while he was still
an active police officer. Then you take

80
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.720
away that dream of his and his
body shutting down on him. I think

81
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.360
it's natural to think that depression and
darkness would come to somebody when that diagnosis

82
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.600
first comes. It's scary, like
how quickly am I going to lose my

83
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.600
ability to walk to pick up a
cup of coffee? Right, It's a

84
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:51.399
very scary diagnosis. And so he
struggles with alcoholism. But again you've already

85
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:58.160
told me he's working now when he
goes and vanishes, and so he clearly

86
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.560
has the ability to follow pard and
pick himself back up. And his family

87
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.319
seems to be, you know,
involved as well, so I just I

88
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.759
don't know. I feel so bad
for him because of the diagnosis itself and

89
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.399
the loss of his job. But
I'm cheering for Curtis right now, and

90
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.319
I don't I do not think suicide
is on the path for him. I

91
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.319
just think he struggles, and so
I think it can make him more vulnerable

92
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.680
in certain situations. I feel so
bad for Curtis. I really commend him

93
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.360
early on for seeking the help that
he clearly needed at that point. But

94
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.680
for somebody who's struggling with substance use
disorder or alcohol use disorder, it can

95
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.639
be really, really difficult, especially
with a high stress job like being a

96
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.680
police officer. You see it with
lots of doctors as well. When you're

97
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.680
dealing with life and death and you're
a drenal system is just firing on all

98
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.120
cylinders all the time. It can
lead to burnout and you can just feel

99
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.600
like the walls are closing in.
And I think people will reach for something,

100
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.920
and I think Ashley nailed it.
Some people will reach for something which

101
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.199
can be like a healthy addiction,
whether it be you know, running marathons

102
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.639
or cycling or going to the gym
something like that to channel it. But

103
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.639
other people will reach for alcohol or
drugs, or food, or gambling or

104
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.319
sex, and in Curtis's case,
it was alcohol. And I think having

105
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.839
the rug ripped out from under him, to have that very thing that he

106
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.240
always dreamed of doing being a police
officer taken away, that had to have

107
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:30.800
been soul crushing. So I can
totally appreciate, and I can empathize with

108
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.600
the feeling of wanting to, you
know, drink yourself into oblivion or take

109
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.840
a substance so that you don't feel
that pain of no longer being able to

110
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.440
live your dream life. And it's
just it's so so sad. But as

111
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.720
Ashley said, it sounds like he
was able to pick himself back up.

112
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.879
So I don't think in this particular
case, given what we know so far,

113
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.919
that it's the most likely scenario that, oh, his car was set

114
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.279
on fire. He'd had a problem
with alcohol in the past, and maybe

115
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.200
he was drinking. It obviously set
him off, and therefore he went off

116
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.799
and ended his own life. That
just doesn't seem logical to me. Yeah.

117
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.519
By the end of nineteen ninety eight, Curtis was able to pull his

118
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.480
act together well enough that he was
hired by the reliable Security Guard Agency,

119
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.480
and he was given a new job
in Seabrook, a small town of approximately

120
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.120
eight thousand people located right next to
the New Hampshire, Massachusetts border. Curtis

121
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.000
was assigned to work the graveyard shift
at a factory for the Venture Corporation,

122
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.120
which manufactured plastic parts for automobiles,
and the position only entailed limited mobility and

123
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.799
did not require him to carry a
gun. He would work from nine to

124
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.080
thirty pm until five thirty am,
and his scheduled shift for July fourth,

125
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.720
two thousand seemed like it was going
to be less busy than usual. Under

126
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.240
normost circumstances, around one hundred employees
would have been working inside the factory during

127
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.000
the graveyard shift, but since a
number of people were celebrating the fourth of

128
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.480
July holiday, this was considered to
be a shutdown week, so a skeleton

129
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.480
crew of a w twelve workers were
there that night. They said that Curtis

130
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.639
appeared to be in good spirits when
he arrived for a shift, and at

131
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.679
around midnight on July the fifth,
the factory security supervisor checked in with Curtis

132
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.320
at the guard shack where he was
stationed and said that everything seemed normal.

133
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.639
However, at one forty two am, Curtis contacted the local fire department and

134
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.279
told them his car was on fire. While he attempted to use a fire

135
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.840
extinguisher to put it out, he
realized that the flames were too strong,

136
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.000
but when the fire department arrived,
they managed to douse them. Since the

137
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.639
car was parked only eight feet away
from the guard shack, the flames wound

138
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.600
up singing the walls, but Curtis
claimed to have no idea how the fire

139
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.039
started. The department's deputy chief would
later say that Curtis appeared to be unusually

140
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.120
stoic and calm about the whole situation, but in spite of the loss of

141
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:54.519
his vehicle, he would continue working
his shift after they left. Well,

142
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.720
there are people like my husband,
for example, when Krud hits the fan

143
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.679
and I'm panicking, and he's like, well, it is what it is,

144
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.440
ash like it's already done or it's
ruined, so just let it be,

145
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.799
you know, like there's nothing we
can do about it, or than

146
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.080
good as we have car insurance,
you know, like our brand new truck.

147
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.600
We drove it home and two weeks
later got head on collision, right

148
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.879
with an uninsured motorist and I'm freaking
out and he just it is what it

149
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.960
is. It's okay, it's material
stuff. So it's possible Curtis had that

150
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.279
same attitude, like, well,
that sucks right, my car just went

151
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.440
up in flames, and it is
what it is. I need the money

152
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.799
or this is my job, so
I'm going to do this. It is

153
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.120
very bizarre how close the car was
to the guard check, but it also

154
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.360
indicates that not only could Curtis have
been responsible for starting the fire, but

155
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.799
that anybody else on the lot and
in that vicinity could have been responsible as

156
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.399
well. Are there cameras at the
time in this in this area, I

157
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.000
don't think so. Like I haven't
heard anything about cameras being found at the

158
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.919
entire factory, because, as we're
going to talk about, there are theories

159
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.240
that Curtis could have been ordered somewhere
on the premises before his body was smuggled

160
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.480
out of there. But if that's
what happened, it was obviously done in

161
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.399
a place without cameras. But nope, they still to this day don't know

162
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.840
how the fire started, if it
was just a freak accident, or if

163
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:20.360
it was deliberately set. Is it
legal to be an uninsured motorist? Sash,

164
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.679
No, but doesn't mean that everyone
carries insurance. So these were I

165
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.879
think illegal kiddos that live around the
corner. And yeah, they were just

166
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.519
driving. They were fourteen and fifteen, so that was super fun too.

167
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.399
So they were underage, no license, no identification, and no insurance.

168
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.000
Oh my god, what did the
police do? Nothing? Nothing. It's

169
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.440
a big problem around here. So
there's not really a whole lot of recourse

170
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.200
they have anyway, So you've got
no legal recourse. Well, I guess

171
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.519
you could sue them, but yeah
for what though, the poor babies don't

172
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.759
have it. Yeah, yeah,
exactly, sue them for nothing and then

173
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.279
it's just a financial trade on everybody
involved. Yeah, but you can publicly

174
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.919
shame them on this podcast. So
that's how dumb kids. And like he

175
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.159
said, it was material and everyone
was safe, so that's really all that

176
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.279
mattered. Easy for them to say
because they're not out a brand new vehicle.

177
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.720
Yeah. The security supervisor stopped by
to check in on Curtis again at

178
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.159
three twenty five am and notice the
burned out vehicle, but he thought that

179
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.559
Curtis seemed to be all right,
but sometime within the next twenty minutes,

180
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.039
Curtis would have vanish without a trace. At around three forty five, one

181
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.639
of the factory workers noticed that Curtis
was not at his station, even though

182
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.120
his cigarettes, packed lunch glasses,
and contact lunch solution were inside the guard

183
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.200
shack and his car was still parked
nearby. Curtis himself was nowhere to be

184
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.639
found. By the time the security
guard for the next shift arrived to relieve

185
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.639
Curtis at five point thirty, he
still had not turned up. When a

186
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.120
search of the factory failed to find
him, the Seabrook Police apartartment were notified

187
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.159
and Curtis was officially reported missing.
The police would perform their own search of

188
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:11.360
the factory on the surrounding area,
but they also had no success. The

189
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.120
last entry in Curtis's log book was
written at around two am, after the

190
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.919
fire department arrived at the scene.
Other than the security supervisor, the last

191
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.120
people who could confirm seeing Curtis were
a group of workers who'd been taking a

192
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.840
break at around three point fifteen and
said they saw Curtis walking around the facility,

193
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.000
something he didn't do that often because
of his MS. Sometime between three

194
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.240
point thirty and three forty five.
A night shift foreman also recalled seeing two

195
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.679
vehicles speeding out of the factory's driveway, but he didn't get a clear enough

196
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.960
look to provide a description, and
it was unclear if this had any connection

197
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.879
to Curtis's disappearance. Now, I
don't find it odd that Curtis was walking

198
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.600
around the factory. I mean,
especially if he's security and he's worried about

199
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.240
something. Also, who knows if
that's the only place rust located, like

200
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.080
a little guard check. I wonder
if there was a restroom attached to it,

201
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.320
or if he would need to walk
into the factory to go to the

202
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.320
restroom. But when you talk about
him going missing, Curtis isn't going to

203
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.080
be getting very far. His car
is burned out and in the parking lot,

204
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.480
and Curtis has a disease that limits
his mobility, and he's already struggling

205
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.200
to the point where he can't grip
his gun. You know, he's struggling

206
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.480
to walk. I mean, his
coworkers say, we really didn't see him

207
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.360
walking around very much, so you
know, he didn't just up and leave

208
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.279
on his own and take a hike, you know, going miles to try

209
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.679
to get somewhere. What if those
coworkers are lying. What if they're the

210
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.600
ones that had something to do with
his disappearance and they're just trying to be

211
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.919
like, oh, yeah, we
saw him at this time, yep,

212
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.120
and he was walking around, Because
it does seem a little bit suspicious that

213
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.519
he wasn't somebody that walked around very
often, but yet he was seen doing

214
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.759
that just before he vanished. Yeah. It has never been specified if the

215
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.960
who these coworkers were, who who
gave this account of seeing him walking by,

216
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.600
but it is possible it could have
been an act of misdirection to mislead

217
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.360
the authorities. Well. When Investigator
spoke to Curtis's family, they learned that

218
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.919
he expressed his concern to them about
possible illegal activity, such as drug deals

219
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.840
taking place in the factory's parking lot. On previous occasions. He told them

220
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.759
he feared for his personal safety at
his job, and a coworker apparently once

221
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.320
threatened to kill Curtis over a parking
ticket he had written. Curtis had also

222
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.360
claimed that he felt threatened by some
Hispanic workers at the factory because he was

223
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.559
interested in a Latina woman who worked
there. Interestingly enough, nearly four hours

224
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.320
before Curtis went missing, a factory
employee noticed two cars parked at the extramart

225
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:45.519
across the street. The vehicles contained
some Hispanic individuals and they appeared to be

226
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.799
acting rowdy. Since the skeleton crew
was working at the factory that night,

227
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.559
Curtis was concerned about the fact that
he was not going to have any backup.

228
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.559
Sure enough, it turned out that
a pair of bending machines and a

229
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:03.120
change machine located near the cafeteria where
vandalized during Curtis's final shift, and a

230
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.960
pad locked door to a union office
which was normally used for storage, had

231
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.759
also been kicked in. Investigators weren
able to determine who caused this damage or

232
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.119
I had had any relation to what
happened to Curtis. Well, it's very

233
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.319
possible that he's up there while looking
at something suspicious that's happening. He is

234
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:23.200
the security guard. He doesn't have
any backup, so he notices these rowdy

235
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.440
individuals. He goes into the factory, maybe he sees the damage that's done,

236
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:32.240
and what if he ran into the
people who were causing the vandalism or

237
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.519
who were up there causing havoc and
confronts them and they get angry. It

238
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.519
sounds like Curtis is a rule follower
and the people up there don't like it,

239
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.640
and so they kind of resent his
position as the security officer. And

240
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.839
so I think there's a lot of
scenarios that Curtis could have walked in on

241
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:56.119
something or intervened or done his job
and made people so angry at him that

242
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.079
they wanted to eliminate his ability to
say anything about their behavior. That definitely

243
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.400
would make a lot of sense to
me. And theoretically, if a coworker

244
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.720
wanted to perform a theft that night, they're thinking themselves, well, it's

245
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.440
a small crew here, and the
only guard on duty is someone with MSS

246
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.039
in limited mobility. This would be
the perfect opportunity. And I'd imagine the

247
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.279
frustration if, in spite of this, Curtis has still made an attempt to

248
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:26.400
stop them. According to Curtis's father
and Nicholas Poushon, on July third,

249
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.000
the day before his final shift,
Curtis purchased a nine millimeter gun from him

250
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.599
for two hundred dollars. The gun
had originally belonged to Curtis, and he

251
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.440
had a legal permit to carry it, but due to financial difficulties, he

252
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.400
sold the weapon to his father years
earlier. Given Curtis's history of depression,

253
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.880
it wasn't long before investigators started exploring
the possibility that he bought the gun back

254
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.440
because he intended on taking his own
life, and perhaps the mysterious car fire

255
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.160
was his breaking point. Well,
there didn't seem to be any sign of

256
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:03.960
accelerant in or around curtis His vehicle, the insurance investigators concluded that arson had

257
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.440
likely taken place. Curtis had a
habit of storing many of his favorite personal

258
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.480
possessions inside the vehicle, but most
of them wound up being destroyed when the

259
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.440
fire took place. This led to
speculation that the incident caused Curtis to suffer

260
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.519
some sort of mental breakdown, which
prompted him to walk away from the factory

261
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.759
and shoot himself. However, this
theory was discounted when Curtis's gun was located

262
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.079
inside his room at the Highland Inn, so he was definitely not carrying it

263
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.559
with him during his final shift.
I think there's a lot of problems here.

264
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.079
First of all, remember Curtis said
he was kind of afraid or kind

265
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.160
of worried about people's behavior towards him. So the fact that he asked for

266
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.200
his gun back or wanted to buy
his gun back from his dad, I

267
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.920
think for safety purposes would make sense. He also is living with MS,

268
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.759
and he's living alone in a motel, so it may not be the safest

269
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.640
of areas. And when you think
about someone with MS, there can be

270
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.279
days where you can't get out of
bed, and there's days where your symptoms

271
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.640
aren't that severe. And so if
he is struggling with days where paralysis and

272
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.079
inability to move quickly is really affecting
him, and he's living in a kind

273
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:17.279
of risky hotel, I think he
would want a weapon to say I may

274
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.720
not be able to fight them off
like I have been trained to do,

275
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.200
but I could shoot somebody who came
in here. So I think it makes

276
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.759
a lot of sense when you're talking
about him trying to get protection for himself

277
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.240
either at home or at work.
Again, he didn't have his gun that

278
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.160
night, and how far was Curtis
going to walk off and shoot himself where

279
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:40.000
his body wouldn't be discovered. It
just it doesn't make sense to think anything

280
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.039
about the gun possession. I don't
think yeah, and that's what we're going

281
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.279
to talk about right now. Another
issue with this suicide theory, so,

282
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.759
in spite of his struggles with MS, Curtis did not give off any signs

283
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.440
of being depressed or suicidal at the
time he disappeared, as he had been

284
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.880
making plans to purchase a new car
that week and was looking forward to a

285
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.519
family vacation that month. But no
matter what Curtis's mental state might have been,

286
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.599
the biggest problem with the theory that
he wandered away from the factory is

287
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.680
that his condition would have prevented him
from walking very far. Even if he

288
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.200
had planned on hitchhiking out of the
area, it still would have required him

289
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.079
to make a long walk from the
guard shack to the nearest road. There

290
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.119
was no record of any deliveries made
to the factory during Curtis's shift, or

291
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.440
any company trucks leaving the facility that
he could have hitched a ride on.

292
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.960
No taxis were summoned to pick up
anyone there that night, and since phone

293
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.160
records from Curtis's hotel room showed that
the only calls he made prior to his

294
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:38.720
disappearance were to his mother, it
seemed unlikely that he called anyone to arrange

295
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.920
a ride. Since Curtis was a
smoker and his cigarettes were left behind in

296
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.079
the guard shack, his family believed
that was strong enough evidence to show that

297
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.160
he did not leave of his own
volition. Investigators did look into the coworker

298
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.920
from the factory whom Curtis claimed had
threatened him, but it turned out he

299
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.720
had an alibi that night, and
he denied that these threats took place.

300
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.519
Police also explored the possibility that Curtis's
disappearance might have been related to his previous

301
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.200
career as a police officer. During
his time with the Concord Police Department,

302
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.200
he mostly worked as a street officer
who was not involved in violent crime investigations,

303
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.400
but he had also supposedly conducted affairs
with the wives of at least two

304
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.519
of his fellow officers. But in
the end, no evidence was found to

305
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.200
suggest this that any relevance to what
happened to him. There would be no

306
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:33.279
further activity on Curtis's bank accounts and
social Security number, and his disappearance would

307
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.839
prove so baffling that it was featured
on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries in October

308
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.039
of two thousand and one. Didn't
you also say, in addition to the

309
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.640
cigarettes, there were things like his
glasses and other possessions that were left in

310
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.759
the guard check that he would use
on a daily basis. Oh yeah,

311
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.960
like his lunch was there, his
glasses was there, and also his contact

312
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:57.720
lens solution. Yeah, okay,
So for me, it's literally much more

313
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.279
logical to think not even that he
got picked up by somebody, but that

314
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:07.319
he was patrolling the area because he
saw something suspicious or heard something suspicious.

315
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.160
He needed to go to the restroom, so he left his position in the

316
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.440
guard check, and he goes into
the factory, encounters something or someone.

317
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.799
Remember it is a skeleton crew that
night. There's no backup, there's not

318
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.240
a whole lot of staff there,
and so it would have been a good

319
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.119
night for anyone who works there to
say, hey, guys, I want

320
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.480
you to show up tonight and rob
the place with me, or help me

321
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.839
do this, or you know,
we can take the guard down because he's

322
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.039
sick, you know, and he
got in trouble doing his job. That

323
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:42.039
seems much more logical to me,
or that he was targeted by somebody versus

324
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.240
him somehow wandering off. It is
kind of weird to watch the Unsolved Mystery

325
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:51.480
segment because it was filmed only about
a year after he went missing, before

326
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.240
anyone became a suspect in this case, so there's a lot more ambiguity at

327
00:23:55.240 --> 00:24:00.359
that time about whether his disappearance could
have been voluntary or is suicide. But

328
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.759
I do think that police did not
do a thorough enough job during the early

329
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.319
stages of the investigation and focused way
too much on that angle when the answer

330
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.400
to this case might have been right
under their noses all along. I just

331
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.039
think if he was going to end
his own life, wouldn't he go back

332
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:21.880
to the inn which she resided and
go and get his gun and then go

333
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.960
off somewhere to some desolate area,
Like we're to believe that he had this

334
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.920
mental break, and yet somehow some
of the wherewithal to what hitchhike. We

335
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.319
know that he couldn't walk, we
know that he didn't have a vehicle,

336
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:40.640
So it just seems so unlikely and
seemed so much more likely the scenario that

337
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.880
Ashley just said that these guys,
the skeleton crew, where there was only

338
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.279
twelve of them, had set up
this idea to rob the place, and

339
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.680
somehow Curtis got in the way,
and he paid for it with his life.

340
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.920
In two thousand and eight, Curtis's
family had him declared legally deceased,

341
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.799
but a major development would take place
in October of that year when a forty

342
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:06.599
year old man named Robert April the
third was arrested. April had allegedly grabbed

343
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.039
a seventeen year old kid named David
Horvitz and threatened to kill his family because

344
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.519
Horwitz's brother owed him thirty dollars.
According to Horowitz, April stated, quote,

345
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.400
when I see your brother, boy, I'm going to slice his throat

346
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.559
and nobody will find his body,
just like the missing person from Sebrook.

347
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.920
Yeah, that's right. I killed
him, and your brother is next,

348
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.319
and nobody will find an ounce of
blood. I buried him in my yard

349
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.720
and your brother's next. End quote. Well, April just happened to be

350
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.559
a former employee with the Venture Corporation
and was one of the skeleton crew working

351
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.240
the graveyard shift at the factory on
the night Curtis disappeared, so it seemed

352
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.119
very likely that Curtis was the missing
person April was referring to during his threats.

353
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.559
Months later, April would go on
trial and Hambiton District Court for the

354
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:57.279
charges of criminal threatening and simple assault, but the judge found him not guilty

355
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.759
after David Horwitz were can did his
original story on the witness stand, but

356
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.960
it would turn out that Horwitz was
far from the only person who had supposedly

357
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.920
heard April Bragg about his involvement in
Curtis's disappearance. Around this time period,

358
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:18.079
the Pashon family would launch their Fine
Kirt campaign, putting together a website about

359
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.440
his case at finecurt dot com and
offering an anonymous telephone tip line. Well.

360
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.359
At one point, they received a
call from an anonymous person who claimed

361
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.680
they were told by two people that
the alleged perpetrator had confessed about Curtis's murder

362
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.319
to them. Curtis had supposedly caught
this person stealing at the factory, so

363
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.839
they responded by beating him to death. Curtis's body was then hidden inside the

364
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.319
union office before the perpetrator could smuggle
it out of the factory, and the

365
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:52.119
body was later dismembered before it was
buried in the perpetrator's yard. Yep,

366
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.400
I'll buy that. I mean,
it seems very plausible that you have somebody,

367
00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:59.960
especially when you look at the idea
that this man who is making threats

368
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.799
to people and is saying he killed
somebody, is actually working the shift with

369
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:10.880
Curtis. We know that the factory
was very low on staff members that night,

370
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.559
there was no backup security, and
Curtis was already a hated individual by

371
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.279
some of the people who worked there
because of his own behavior and because of

372
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.480
the way that he executed his position
that people didn't like being caught and punished

373
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:27.039
for what they did wrong. And
so if there was a crime going on

374
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:33.480
at the factory that night and Curtis
caught them, I could easily see somebody

375
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.160
saying, my job, this money, whatever we're gaining from this crime is

376
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.920
more important than this man's life.
I could easily see that being a plausible

377
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:48.480
explanation. And it's very frustrating to
think that April was there all along,

378
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.480
and during the first few years of
the investigation, they're focusing on the idea

379
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.160
that Curtis walked away somewhere and took
his own life. And it would only

380
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.279
be like years after the fact when
people started coming forward and say saying,

381
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.559
hey, you should look at the
other employees who were working the graveyard ship

382
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.240
that night. So it just seems
so frustrating that we have this guy who

383
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.480
was there and nobody starts looking at
him until two thousand and eight, which

384
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.000
is eight years after Curtis originally went
missing. In twenty ten, the authority

385
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:22.400
spent two days excavating a cement slab
behind a residence in Seabrook. The property

386
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.359
had once belonged to Robert April's brother, who died five years earlier, but

387
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.680
even though the new owners gave permission
for a search, it failed to turn

388
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:34.200
up anything around this time period.
The investigation was headed by Seabrook Police Lieutenant

389
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.799
Mike Gallagher, who publicly expressed his
belief that the fir in Curtis's car was

390
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:44.599
started by two factory workers in order
to create a diversion while they attempted to

391
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.480
use forkliffs to break into the two
damaged vending machines and the change machine in

392
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.160
order to steal money from them,
but at some point Curtis caught them in

393
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.400
the act and was killed for it. While Gallagher believed that Curtis's death was

394
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.559
likely an accident and the responsible part, he did not intend to kill him,

395
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.720
he also stated quote I think the
community knows what happened. Everyone knows

396
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.160
that we know the people who did
it know that we know they did it.

397
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:12.680
He's a local. I think he
stays in his trailer, maybe on

398
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:18.839
a self imposed prison term, so
maybe there's a little justice there end quote.

399
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.119
While Robert April is the primary person
of interest, Gallagher confirmed that there

400
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.079
was at least one other person of
interest who was also working the same graveyard

401
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.960
shift at the factory that night,
but their name has never been released publicly.

402
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.599
However, Gallagher said the main reason
an arrest has never been made is

403
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:40.799
because the only evidence against the alleged
perpetrator are quote unquote third person accounts,

404
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.519
and since most of the tips law
enforcement and the Pischon family received have been

405
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:49.640
anonymous, they cannot be used as
evidence or probable cause to secure the necessary

406
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:55.440
warrants for a search or an arrest. Even though Curtis's body has never been

407
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.359
found, his family has still set
up a memorial stone forum at the New

408
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.720
Hampshire St. Veteran Cemetery in Boscowen. The Pichons have also offered a ten

409
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.480
thousand dollars reward for information which leads
to the recovery of Curtis's body and the

410
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.960
arrest and conviction of the responsible party, but after nearly twenty four years,

411
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.839
he continues to remain a missing person. So I guess you could say the

412
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.960
path went Chili and this pans out
so perfectly with what evidence was found.

413
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.000
There was evidence that there had been
venning machines that were destroyed. There was

414
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.599
other damage to the property, and
they knew that that had occurred that evening.

415
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.400
I believe the fire being set to
distract Curtis. What a genius idea.

416
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.960
He needs to sit there and wait
for fire the fire department to come.

417
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.400
He's got to assess the damage to
his own vehicle, and then he

418
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.599
gets back on his post. Was
he distracted in that moment and then goes

419
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.440
in back into the factory again to
go to the restroom or maybe because he

420
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:59.480
hears something or feels something might be
wrong inside the factory and he runs into

421
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.880
these in a us committing a crime. My only concern is that if they

422
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.680
truly beat him to the point where
they either accidentally or intentionally killed him,

423
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:14.640
and then they're storing his body in
the union room, right, wouldn't there

424
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.720
be physical evidence everywhere? Wouldn't there
be blood to the extent that they had

425
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.599
beat him to death. I'm guessing
maybe that they had the opportunity if there

426
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.079
was blood, to clean him up, because you remember that quote that April

427
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.319
said when he was threatening David Horbitz, saying that I killed him and your

428
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.319
brother's next, and nobody will find
an ounce of blood. So that couldn't

429
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.319
lie that he did such a thorough
cleanup job. Because there was a skeleton

430
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.160
crew there, he might have had
some privacy that they never did find anything.

431
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.720
But it's also possible that it was
missed during the original search because at

432
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:49.839
that point they weren't looking at the
possibility of a homicide. They were just

433
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:55.559
looking at a missing person. If
April is indeed the perpetrator, he's a

434
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:00.359
huge idiot who threatens somebody's life by
talking about a past crime that they did

435
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:06.039
and then telling them where they buried
the body, especially when it's in their

436
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:09.279
own backyard. I do have a
feeling that he wasn't actually buried in his

437
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:15.039
own backyard, because they never actually
said that. I like him. They

438
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.920
did do a search behind the property
belonging to Robert April's brother, but it's

439
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.359
not clear to me if they've ever
searched any property belonging to April himself,

440
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.279
but that maybe because they just don't
have a search warrant. But who knows.

441
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:31.039
Maybe he was just like being braggadocious
and it's not actually true, and

442
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.240
he disposed of Curtis at another location. What was the guy's name in the

443
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.359
Christian smart case who literally did that
exact same thing, Paul Flores. And

444
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.000
that's a creepy one because I remember
that new people moved on to the property

445
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:49.160
after Paul moved out, and they
thought they heard a beeping every morning at

446
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.279
like three thirty am. And they've
suspected that that was the that was Christian's

447
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.400
watch, because she always had a
watch that had an alarm go off at

448
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.119
that particular time. But there has
been speculation that they did the body because

449
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:04.680
she's still never been found. So
I think this would be a good time

450
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.400
to bring an end to part one. But join us next week as we

451
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:12.680
present part two of our series about
the disappearance of Curtis Bishan Robin, do

452
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.240
you want to tell us a little
bit about the Trail Went Cold Patreon.

453
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.160
Yes, the Trail Cold Patreon has
been around for three years now, and

454
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.400
we offer these standard bonus features like
early ad free episodes, and I also

455
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:28.839
send out stickers and sign thank you
cards to anyone who signs up with us

456
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:32.200
on Patreon. If you join our
five dollars tier Tier two, we also

457
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.400
offer monthly bonus episodes in which I
talk about cases which are not featured on

458
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.440
the Trail went Cold's original feed,
so they're exclusive to Patreon and if you

459
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.319
join our highest tier tier three,
the ten dollars tier. One of the

460
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:51.920
features we offer is a audio commentary
track over classic episodes of UNSAWD Mysteries,

461
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.680
where you can download an audio file
and then boot up the original Unsolved Mysteries

462
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.960
episode on Amazon Prime or YouTube and
play with my audio commentary playing in the

463
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.240
background, where I just provide trivia
and factoids about the cases featured in this

464
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.719
episode. And incidentally, the very
first episode that I did a commentary track

465
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:14.679
over was the episode featuring this case. So if you want to download a

466
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:19.000
commentary track in which I make more
smart ass remarks about Jewel Kaylor, then

467
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.000
be sure to join Tier three.
So I want to let you know a

468
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.159
little bit about the Jewels and Nashty
patreons. So there's early ad free episodes

469
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:29.960
of The Path Went Chili. We've
got our Pathwent Chili mini's, which are

470
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.079
always over an hour, so they're
not very mini, but they're just too

471
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:36.679
short to turn into a series,
and we're really enjoying doing those, so

472
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.159
we hope you'll check out those patreons. We'll link them in the show notes.

473
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.400
So I want to thank you all
for listening, and any chance you

474
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.880
have to share us on social media
with a friend or d rate and review

475
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:51.320
is greatly appreciated. You can email
us at The Pathwentchili at gmail dot com.

476
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.039
You can reach us on Twitter at
the Pathwin. So until next time,

477
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:59.000
be sure to bundle up because cold
trails and chili pass call for warm

478
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.760
