1
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Music often comes from a very deep and personal place.

2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>People express emotions, dreams, and pain from their lives, frequently

3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>drawing upon experiences that bring their lyrics and performances to life.

4
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Robert Camu tried to do just that one evening when

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>at an open mic, he freestyle wrapped something that would

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>drop the jaws of those around him. His song wasn't

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>about struggles, though, or life lessons. Robert instead chose to

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 1>rap about killing and burying his girlfriend, Amanda Custer, who

9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>was a missing person. My name is Ben, I'm.

10
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Nicole, and you're listening to Wicked and.

11
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Grim, a true crime podcast.

12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>The following.

13
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Material intended for a mature audience. Listener discuss.

14
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>That was like a little bit piercing into the ears.

15
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>The smell just immediately hit my nose and oh my god,

16
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it smells good. Oh and it tastes good too. So good.

17
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>How's it going everyone? Thank you for coming back once again.

18
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>You guys are incredible as always. I didn't make any

19
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>notes of anything we have to talk about prior to

20
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you have anything you want to discuss?

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, we're waiting it.

22
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.079

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's freaking awesome.

32
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>It is means a lot. They get that extra content,

33
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the extra episode at the end of the month, and

34
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>they even just recommended a case to us that I

35
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>am doing a deep dive into here. Just ordered a

36
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>book that I'm going to do a read on. So yes,

37
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that case is coming up in the in a few

38
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 1>weeks when I get all that research done.

39
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

40
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is awesome. I just I'm sitting right beside

41
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>our stove here in the tiny home, and it is

42
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>still really really warm because I just made a bunch.

43
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Of it's hard. You know when I say that it's

44
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>fucking hot.

45
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it's like twenty five celsius in here

46
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>right now, which is absurd. Ye, so we might be

47
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 1>sweating through this podcast just saying that. But yeah, I'm

48
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>sitting right next to the stove. But yeah, bread, it'll

49
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 1>be delicious. It's going to make for an awesome breakfast

50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the night.

51
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. I actually think I want to learn. I'm

52
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>ready to learn to make sour though, are you. Yeah.

53
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I've taken up my sweet time,

54
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>but I'm ready.

55
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, I will take you on as my apprentice.

56
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the dark side.

57
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I'm honestly most interested. I feel like in

58
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>using the discard for other things.

59
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You can do a lot with discard. Yeah, so, which

60
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I never do, And once in a while I'll do

61
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>like I call them discard pancakes.

62
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Pancakes for the chickens.

63
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I just fra up the discard in a pan

64
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and just give it to the chickens, which we you

65
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>can add a little salt or cheese and scallions on top,

66
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, got yourself a little little breakfast thing going too.

67
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. I like Pinterest, and I see

68
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of shit you can do with discards.

69
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's uh discard all these pre topics and get

70
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>to the case, shall we.

71
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that was smooth. Was it that was terrible?

72
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay? I thought it was pretty puney myself.

73
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, it just gets worse.

74
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>It always gets worse with this show. Let's let's just

75
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>be honest, okay. So today we're doing a case one

76
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that's been on my list for a little while. It

77
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>is a relatively more recent event. It has occurred in

78
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. It involves a woman by the name of

79
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Amanda Kathleen Custer and her boyfriend, Robert.

80
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Camou right before the world changed.

81
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right on the cusp of that good old COVID. Yeah,

82
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, you ready for this one?

83
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 2>I am. Let's do her.

84
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Well, today we are covering the story of the

85
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>missing woman, like I said, named Amanda Kathleen Custer. There

86
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>isn't a whole lot of coverage out there on this case,

87
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>which is a shame to say the least, and to

88
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 1>make matters worse, when you do look up her story online,

89
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll find much more information regarding her boyfriend. Usually her

90
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>is the one responsible for what happened to her. So

91
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>that's unfortunate, some bullshit it is. And like, we are

92
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>firm believers in trying to tell the victim story whenever

93
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>we can more often than not. So that's exactly what

94
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be trying to do here with the

95
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>little information that I do have. So while we tell

96
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>her story, we're going to be talking about the perpetrator

97
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>as well. But keep that in mind. This is Amanda's story,

98
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and if you can help provide any information in recovering Amanda,

99
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.879
<v Speaker 1>please contact authorities. Okay, laying that out there right now,

100
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 1>because she still is missing right now.

101
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, Yes, that was like the way that you

102
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>went to vote. That was kind of I don't know,

103
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 2>fuck with me for some reason. I don't know why.

104
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 2>I just wasn't expecting that expecting it.

105
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, I really wanted to lay this home. She

106
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is a current missing person.

107
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Dang Okay, okay, okay.

108
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 1>So Amanda was born on April twenty eighth, nineteen eighty eight,

109
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>same month and year's my birthday. So she from Bakersfield

110
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>but was living in Monrovia, California. Now, I don't know

111
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>much about the kind of person that Amanda was, and

112
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to create false images while talking about

113
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>her either, But what I do know is that she

114
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>was a person who's trying to do her best and

115
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>better herself now. The available public posts on her Facebook

116
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>profile don't tell us very much, but there are two

117
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 1>pictures in particular that do stand out to me, and

118
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 1>they're ones of her standing next to a young boy

119
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 1>who would presumes her son. They seem very very lovingly together,

120
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and in the comments on one of those photos, Amanda

121
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>had written this as a comment quote, he is an

122
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Idaho with my parents now, but I'm not giving up.

123
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>He is in good hands and I'm thankful for that.

124
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get it right and be the best

125
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 1>for him so I can give him the best life

126
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>he deserves. That was my last visit with him before

127
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>they left. Okay, so she is I mean, it seems

128
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to me a struggling mother who just wanted nothing more

129
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to better herself so she could provide better for her son. Yeah,

130
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>assuming that is her son. I mean, it's pretty obvious

131
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 1>it is, but it doesn't actually explicitly say so. I

132
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>just don't want to say one hundred percent, you know

133
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>what I mean.

134
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 2>So that makes this even harder though, the fact that

135
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 2>she was a parent, you know, a mom.

136
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I mean I think again, judging by what

137
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>little information we do have, she seems like she's being

138
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 1>a single parent, so I don't think the father is

139
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in the picture. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have the child

140
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>as well rather than like you know, right, So, her

141
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>parents looking after her son, don't know where the dad is,

142
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 1>and she is just looking forward to when she is

143
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>capable of having him back with her. Yep. So now.

144
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Her Facebook page also shows that she was pursuing further

145
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>education by studying at Lyle's College of Beauty. She also

146
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>posted another picture that showed a book that was given

147
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>to her by her parents, and the book was called

148
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>The Rock, the Bible for Making Right Choices.

149
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Hmm. Wow, that's quite a title, right, I haven't heard

150
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>of that book.

151
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>It's one that I think I might want to look

152
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>up and give it a read, if I'm.

153
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Being honest, I mean, I don't think it could hurt anyone.

154
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but to Shae to sche we can all use

155
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 1>little bit of guidance for making the right choices from

156
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>time to time. And again, just hammering that home she

157
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>was trying to better herself. I don't know if there's

158
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>much more proof that would need to really prove that

159
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>seeking further education. She's got a book on it, and

160
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>she's made a post about what she wants to achieve

161
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>goals for her son.

162
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean also with that book. Decisions

163
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 2>are hard.

164
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they definitely are hard.

165
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Making decisions sometimes, like being an adult kind of sucks.

166
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes, well, especially when those decisions are not just going

167
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 1>to impact you.

168
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have someone who's.

169
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Relying on you, and your decisions are going to impact

170
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>down that line. Right, So it's definitely a big part

171
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in everyone's life, and even more so potentially when you

172
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>are a parent, especially to a young child. So apart

173
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>from that, Amanda's personal life has been kept well just

174
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that personal right. She was, however, in a relationship dating

175
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>an individual kind of on and off for at least

176
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 1>about two years, and that's according to Lieutenant Scott Hogland

177
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of the La County Sheriff's Department, and according to him,

178
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>their relationship wasn't exactly a good and healthy one. According

179
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to a press statement he made, he said, quote, there

180
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>have been numerous domestic violence incidences between them, which is

181
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>not good.

182
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>No, I freaking hate that. That's terrible.

183
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And the individual she was involved with was a

184
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 1>man by the name of Robert Camu.

185
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Robert Camu Camu.

186
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Camo c Amou. I'm pretty sure it's Camu, But either way,

187
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care about Well, yeah, name correctly either

188
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>so I think.

189
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>He's he's not the fan or we're not a fan him.

190
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>No, we definitely are not a fan of Robert now.

191
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 1>According to Robert's Facebook page, Robert attended the State University

192
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles, where he studied communications. His page seems

193
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a rather boastful one, where he posts often

194
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>about his achievements or praises that he's gained, such as

195
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>he worked as a quote wildland firefighter at the United

196
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>States Forest Service. His LinkedIn page states that he is

197
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 1>an quote aspiring project manager seeking employments to gain the

198
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>hourly experience for the PMI PMP, which is a project

199
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>professional test, and also reads quote, I have high standards

200
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.159
<v Speaker 1>of excellence and am a hard working, dedicated individual with

201
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>a commitment to self improvement through using my skills to

202
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 1>actualize my talents. I love life and I'm looking forward

203
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to the future. In various locations, he has written that he.

204
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>So.

205
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>In various locations, he's written multiple different things. He's written

206
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that he was an intern for the campus newspaper, underwent

207
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>police and fire agility training, made the Dean's List and

208
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>was awarded into scholarship for teacher preparation and urban learning.

209
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>He was on a forensics and debate team at a

210
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>city college in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles. I've

211
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>heard it pronounced like that before, Los Angeles. Some people

212
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 1>do like that. It's okay, don't don't at me.

213
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I do.

214
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I heard that little huff under your breath. It was there.

215
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Is that what he did?

216
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>He had listed five different colleges that he had claimed

217
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to have attended, studying everything from forestry to business administration.

218
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>He claims to have competed, completed sorry high school early,

219
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and to top it all off with a nice little

220
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>cherry to it, he also claimed to be a professional

221
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 1>sponsored skateboarder.

222
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit. Yeah, that's a lot.

223
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of accolades for sure.

224
00:11:58.279 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

225
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>And now, to be fair, this might all be very true.

226
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 1>It might be true. I do not know. There is

227
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 1>no evidence out there to either support or refute these claims.

228
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.519
<v Speaker 1>They simply just come right off what he claims to

229
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>be on social media. But I mean, after all, no

230
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 1>one ever lies or embellishes things on social media, not

231
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 1>at all, not like you can. If it's on the internet,

232
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you can believe it.

233
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a fact, definitely.

234
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>So he is, without a doubt in my mind, a

235
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>professional skateboarder for sure.

236
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's interesting though, I've never really thought about this,

237
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, you could put whatever the shit you wanted

238
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>on LinkedIn, couldn't you.

239
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you can, huh. But to be fair, if you

240
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 1>get a job from LinkedIn, Like, if you get a

241
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>job and they're like looking at your LinkedIn profile, that's

242
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>no different than lying in a resume, Like you're gonna

243
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>get screwed over. You're probably gonna lose the job.

244
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I mean also like, if you're relying on

245
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>shit like that, I mean I think you could probably

246
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>get away with it. But if there might be.

247
00:12:58.279 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Legal ramifications to that too.

248
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>True, So yeah, true, don't line in your LinkedIn. Yeah,

249
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>don't do it. Don't do it. I'm just like exploring

250
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the possibility.

251
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Nicole's out here just giving tips and tricks on how

252
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to get your next job.

253
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all, Okay, well for yourself, there don't Well, yeah,

254
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>you work.

255
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 1>A lot more trustless than that. But anyways, yeah, we

256
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know because that all that stuff might be true.

257
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, regardless the relationship between him and Amanda, it

258
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>was a rough one. A neighbor, actually a neighbor by

259
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the name of Hosey Ellis, said he had seen them

260
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>arguing before, but it was nothing they found particularly concerning,

261
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and then he never really had any indication that Robert

262
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>was capable of assaulting or hurting Amanda. Right, there's no

263
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 1>real reason to make a report be concerned for anyone's safety.

264
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>But clearly there was a side to it that neither

265
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 1>he or anyone was able to see, because something dark

266
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>was looming ahead. Now, the first incident between the two

267
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>that involved maybe we'll say physical harm, it was an

268
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>incident that took place on April twenty second, in twenty

269
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 1>and nineteen, which is yeah, that's COVID time, like right then.

270
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>And there, Well, the next year more so, isn't it.

271
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure it's twenty nineteen. When I start twenty twenty,

272
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was spring of twenty nineteen.

273
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>It started, well, I think it started in twenty nineteen

274
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for some people, but I think it was the twenty twenty,

275
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it.

276
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm almost certain it was April of twenty nineteen.

277
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know I could be wrong, and it's the

278
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:40.440
<v Speaker 2>other the next year.

279
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Someone out there right now is yelling at us. Nineteen

280
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.679
<v Speaker 1>or twenty, it's one of those years. But regardless, both

281
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Amanda and Robert they were arguing between one another. It

282
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>was a domestic dispute, and things began escalating more past

283
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>beyond just a dispute. It began to get to the

284
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>point where Robert allegedly tried to strangle Amanda in their home,

285
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and then he also began threatening to attack her with

286
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a taser.

287
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's fucking scary.

288
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no shit, oh man. So Amanda was clearly afraid

289
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 1>for her own safety and well being, so she managed

290
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 1>to escape their home and ran. So she ran to

291
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the neighbor's house nearby to try and seek safety with

292
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>someone else, someone who might be able to, you know, houser,

293
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>call for help or even help defend her, whatever the case.

294
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 1>So she ran to this neighbor and Robert he didn't

295
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 1>like this. He didn't like her running away, whether it

296
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 1>was leaving the house, leaving a getting away from him.

297
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>He went after her, and he went right after into

298
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 1>the neighbor's house as well.

299
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, yes, so.

300
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 1>An elderly man led Amanda inside, and Robert chased right

301
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>past him into his home to get to Amanda. Now,

302
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the man tried to intervene and help Amanda, but he

303
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>himself ended up being battered by Robert in the process.

304
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's brutal.

305
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So Robert ended up I don't know to what

306
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 1>extent the terminology that was being used in articles and

307
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>information that I was reading from was quote battered, so

308
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to the degree I do not know, But he beat

309
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.279
<v Speaker 1>up an old man.

310
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fucking brutal. Like this man was just trying

311
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to help.

312
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Robert just runs into his home and just

313
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care. Yeah, not a single fuck given.

314
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Like he was just in the way of what he

315
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>was trying to do. Yeah, brutal.

316
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.799
<v Speaker 1>So Now, as a result of this incident, Robert was

317
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 1>thankfully arrested and charged with four felony counts, including burglary

318
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and assault and battery. And this was on May twenty ninth. Now,

319
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Amanda had filed a restraining order against Robert. She feared

320
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 1>for her safety. She didn't want anything else to happen,

321
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 1>so the restraining order. The document contained some writings directly

322
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 1>from her, Some quotes said I'm going to read, and

323
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>she had written on this document, quote he has made

324
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred phone numbers to verbally bash me. It

325
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.039
<v Speaker 1>went on to describe another time when Robert had once

326
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>quote turned around, came running at my window and broke

327
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>my double pane window with the hatchet.

328
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh.

329
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>He also quote took the hatchet and smashed the side

330
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 1>mirrors off my grandmother's car. Yeah, so where he was

331
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 1>already finding him because of this, He was already finding

332
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 1>himself facing misdemeanor charges foresaid incident, which of course he

333
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was pleading not guilty for. So that had occurred, he

334
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>was finding himself facing these charges. Now this incident where

335
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to strangle her, threatening to tase her, running

336
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>into this old man's home after her, he's now also

337
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>facing the charges from that on top.

338
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>That's so scary, I know.

339
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Now as a whole Robert had filed a counter restraining order.

340
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>And oh my gosh, and.

341
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Amanda's grandmother had also filed a.

342
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Restraining order against who Robert against Robert, yes, because he

343
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>had like smashed her h shit, and she was fearing

344
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 2>for her safety and her granddaughter's safety like lots.

345
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 1>So it was this triangle of restraining orders. Now, I'm

346
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>not too certain exactly which way this played. I read

347
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 1>two different ways that Amanda did get her restraining order

348
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 1>and the other two did not get theirs. And I

349
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 1>also read that no restraining orders went through. Okay, so

350
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>either no one got them or Amanda did.

351
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, what the hell is Robert putting in a restraining order?

352
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, just to be a dick probably Okay, Well.

353
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 1>If she's doing it, I'm doing I'm gonna claim she's

354
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the fucking crazy one, like you know, like that sort

355
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of shit. But I mean they already have the incident

356
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 1>where he's already facing charges like, and now here's a

357
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.759
<v Speaker 1>second one. And I'm assuming she's got some sort of

358
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 1>proof to back some of the shit up. I mean,

359
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>she has a witness, she has her.

360
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Grandma, well, and she has that older man.

361
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the older man now too, So there's witnesses. But

362
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 1>there's always another side that people might not see.

363
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

364
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Just devil's advocate here, I'm saying right now, I believe Manda,

365
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>not Robert, But just say, what about what happened in

366
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>their home before Amanda ran to the neighbors? That could

367
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>be where Robert's being like, yeah, but she did some

368
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>shit then, probably making it up. But anyways, now it

369
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>would only be a couple months later, on on July

370
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth, twenty nineteen, when Robert was led out of

371
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>prison on bail. You're shaking your head.

372
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, that is no time. No, it's not that is

373
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 2>no time whatsoever.

374
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 1>But since he was led out on bail, he was

375
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 1>required to wear an ankle monitor.

376
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Though, Okay, cool, what the hell is that going to do.

377
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>So they know where he is and stuff? Right, Okay,

378
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Now it would be that very same day, the same

379
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.240
<v Speaker 1>day that Robert was led out of jail, on July

380
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth, twenty nineteen, that Amanda Custer would last be

381
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>seen alive.

382
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, wow.

383
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

384
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean that whole time that he was in jail,

385
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the two months or whatever the hell it was, he

386
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 2>was probably just you know, plotting some serious avenge or something.

387
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, he was sitting on it. He was thinking

388
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole time, and the moment he had the opportunity

389
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 1>he struck.

390
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, I'm surprised that it was such a little amount

391
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of time.

392
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, like I think like he hadn't gone to court

393
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>for the charges. Yet he had only been held he

394
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.599
<v Speaker 1>was being charged, and he hadn't been tried, so he

395
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>has not, you know, being charged with it. It's just

396
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's out on bail in the meantime. So yeah. Now,

397
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Amanda was last seen at around eight fifteen AM at

398
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.160
<v Speaker 1>her home in the six hundred block of Vaquero Road.

399
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's how you pronounce it in Marnovia, California.

400
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.799
<v Speaker 1>What happened again isn't clear, but a neighbor reported seeing

401
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>her boyfriend Robert at the home and he was seen

402
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 1>dragging something out of the home and placing it into

403
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the trunk of his gray twenty seventeen Toyota Prius.

404
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit.

405
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 1>The person made a report. They called the police, and

406
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>they reported for potential domestic violence, and they said it

407
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>looked like it could have been a body that Robert

408
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 1>was stuffing into the trunk of his car.

409
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Ay, Okay, I feel you said boyfriend,

410
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>But I'm assuming at that time was probably ex boyfriend.

411
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean I assume, I assume, but I also

412
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>am like, have they a fish? Like I don't. It's

413
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 1>been so long since I've dated.

414
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 2>We've been married for like how long, like a million years?

415
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I don't like when do you, like, do

416
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you can have to have a consensual breakup to be

417
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>x or is it just like, oh he's in jail,

418
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he's my ex and like I don't know, I don't

419
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 1>know semantics.

420
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 2>On dating, I don't know. But also a fucking Prius

421
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.119
<v Speaker 2>like that is the most shocking a vehicle, Like I

422
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>just I just have was just say something about that.

423
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 2>A Prius, A Prius.

424
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there's nothing wrong with a Prius, but I get you.

425
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.640
<v Speaker 1>It's just like this like murderer shoving a body into

426
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a Prius. It's like that's an odd picture because usually

427
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>people drive a Prius for like you know, environmental benefits

428
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>or like the gas mileage. Yeah yeah, but I'm going

429
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 1>to bury a body, so I need a Prius. It's

430
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>got a good trunk space.

431
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't expecting it to be a Prius.

432
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, fair enough anyways, So this I really get

433
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>over that. The neighbor made the report for the site

434
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that they just saw, and the police quickly arrived at

435
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the home. However, by this time Robert had already left.

436
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The next step was, of course, though, to do a

437
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 1>welfare check. So they entered the home to see if

438
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Amanda was okay. They knocked, no answer. They entered and

439
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>they called her name again, no answer. As they made

440
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the way through the home, it became clear to authorities

441
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that this welfare was turning into something much more. Amanda

442
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>was nowhere in sight, but it was very clear some

443
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of struggle had occurred inside and there was evidence

444
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 1>of blood as well. They speculated that Robert had taken

445
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Amanda away unconscious and against her will. So the reason

446
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>why I think they speculated that they took her, that

447
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 1>he took her away unconscious, was because of the amount

448
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of blood found inside. There wasn't a whole lot. It

449
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like there's like pools of blood streaks on the

450
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>wall like that sort of stuff. I think they had

451
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>found like a few drops of blood here and there,

452
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. Okay, like maybe someone was struck over

453
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the head and knocked out and yeah, drug outside.

454
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 2>You can like kill someone without a lot of being present.

455
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 1>You definitely can.

456
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>You like strangled her or something.

457
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>You definitely can. But I think the lack of blood,

458
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm presuming is why they assume she was unconscious.

459
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I wonder if she knew that he was getting

460
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>out on that day.

461
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I honestly doubt it. I really do. Potentially, if she

462
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>did actually have a restraining order put in place, there

463
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 1>could be a potential that she might have been contacted

464
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.400
<v Speaker 1>by authorities, maybe his parole officer or whatever it is,

465
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.119
<v Speaker 1>or I don't know if it's parole if you're on bail,

466
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 1>but you know what I mean, she might have been

467
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>contacted by someone. But I think it would probably have

468
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.039
<v Speaker 1>been only if that restraining order was something that went through.

469
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Well then either way too, like she probably wouldn't have

470
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.160
<v Speaker 2>expected that he would just you know, get out and

471
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 2>instantly be at her house.

472
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, kid, Which like this was, like I said,

473
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 1>eight fifteen in the morning when she was last seen,

474
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>oh man.

475
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Like getting ready for work kind of thing.

476
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I'm going to be talking about some time

477
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.400
<v Speaker 1>here again a little bit like we're we're not too

478
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 1>far away from fifteen right now, Like it's very early

479
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>still that he was there and this all went down.

480
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 1>But before we get to that other time I was

481
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 1>talking about, there's another piece of information I do want

482
00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to discuss.

483
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Robert was wearing an monitor, right, okay, right.

484
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 1>So he still had this on, and authorities were able

485
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to go ahead and start quickly tracking him down. Unfortunately,

486
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the readings were not the most accurate of readings, and

487
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was He ended up being outside of

488
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 1>the city a bit. He was sixteen miles outside of

489
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the city into an area in between Mount Baldy and

490
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Little Creek. So he's kind of out in this remote area.

491
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>They don't really have the best signal and the reading

492
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>oh but did.

493
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.359
<v Speaker 2>They also were able to tell that he was at

494
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the house too.

495
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean someone reported and saw him. Yeah, but

496
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I think like they were like trying to track where

497
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 1>is he right now? Yeah, and they were able to

498
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 1>determine that, yes, he was out in this area somewhere.

499
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>But a large area kind of thing.

500
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Very large area.

501
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 2>But also he just doesn't give a shit. Then I

502
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.880
<v Speaker 2>forgot that he had this frickin' break this ankle thing on.

503
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not a single fuck is given here clearly.

504
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

505
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 1>So shortly thereafter, when he was done in this area,

506
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they were able to find that he had then driven

507
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 1>to town. They found footage on security cameras where they

508
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 1>knew he had gone through and had been He had

509
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 1>stopped at a Del Taco at a shell gas station

510
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 1>where he bought cigarettes. There were a few other camera

511
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 1>locations that he was captured on as well, all of

512
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 1>which showed him and no sign of Amanda anywhere. And

513
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>not long after that, at around nine thirty am, so

514
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he had already gone out of town into this remote location,

515
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 1>come back, and around nine thirty am he removed the

516
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 1>ankle bracelet and dumped it.

517
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, Okay, what the fuck's the point of an

518
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>ankle bracelet? It's clearly not working on him whatsoever.

519
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't think it's like we need to track

520
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>him down where he is, like immediately right now. I

521
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 1>think it's more so like, let's look back and where

522
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 1>have you been? Like I think I'm assuming, I.

523
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Guess, but I mean, it's not working on this dude

524
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>at all.

525
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Touche. But by the time I'm pretty sure by the

526
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>time he had already dumped it is when authorities were

527
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>already tracking like where he had been too, right so,

528
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 1>because it's going to take some time to look up

529
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and process and everything. So now Robert was officially by

530
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this time a wanted man, and police were making statements

531
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to the public asking for help and his whereabouts. If

532
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you see him. Give us a call. Here's what he

533
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.039
<v Speaker 1>looks like. He's twenty seven years old. He looks like

534
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a complete douchebag. Call us if you see that he's

535
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>driving a Prius. He looks like a born.

536
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, that is like probably one of the worst descriptions ever,

537
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like I see numerous people like that daily.

538
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Am I allowed to say that?

539
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 1>No, it's fair, it's fair?

540
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh man?

541
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay. So thankfully, it wouldn't be too long before

542
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>police were actually able to find Robert. They would only

543
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>be about well, there would be about a small window

544
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 1>from where where he actually removed the ankle monitor to

545
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>where he would actually be seen. Next this time, not

546
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.279
<v Speaker 1>only was he reported to be seen, but he was

547
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 1>actually recorded on video. So the very same day that

548
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Amanda went missing, very same day where he was out

549
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 1>on bail, the very same day where police are trying

550
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 1>to track him down, he's a wanted man. Robert made

551
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>his way to a bar called King Eddie Saloon. He

552
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 1>was there for the evening. I'm just trying to have

553
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a good time here. He was enjoying his night and

554
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 1>having you know, just fun, enjoying what was an open

555
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 1>mic event with some local rappers performing, so it was

556
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.359
<v Speaker 1>like an open mic freestyle event, right, Okay, everyone's having

557
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a good time. The rappers are up there on the mics,

558
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, taking their turn, and there is this video

559
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that is being taken and is currently available online. You

560
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 1>can go watch it if you'd like, where two rappers

561
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 1>appear to be kind of like facing off each other

562
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.839
<v Speaker 1>a bit, going back and forth. A few people are

563
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:55.079
<v Speaker 1>standing around, and Robert is one of those people. At

564
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>one point in the video, the mic seems to be

565
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 1>getting passed back and forth between more than just the

566
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>two people. You know, it's like whoever kind of wants

567
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to take it, whoever's gonna grab it, And Robert decides

568
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 1>he wants to take a try at the mic, wants

569
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to throw something down. First off, it's horrible, his rhyme,

570
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.559
<v Speaker 1>his flow, all of it fucking terrible. He should never

571
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>have ever had a mic in his hand, and it's

572
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 1>just the worst. But worst of all are the lyrics

573
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 1>that he came up with on the fly. His short

574
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 1>rap verse went I'm not gonna wrap it, I'm just

575
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna say it, but it went as such, right here,

576
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gangster in this house. I fucking cut the EMP

577
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>off my fucking leg and then I'm out, motherfucker, you

578
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 1>don't even know I'm on the fucking news. I killed

579
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 1>my bitch and buried that bitch in the fucking dirt.

580
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit.

581
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's about the same face that everyone else in

582
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.119
<v Speaker 1>the room had when he fucking started saying that. Now

583
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>he had one more line that he did say. It's

584
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit harder to discern something about the police

585
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>are after him and he needs to like not talk

586
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. I know, as he just fucking

587
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>says everything, wow, but like someone's like kind of like

588
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to take the microme like casually, and so it's

589
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 1>like kind of hard to discern what he's really saying.

590
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But I was just like, this is this guy's a

591
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>fucking idiot?

592
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Is he drunk out of his mind?

593
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 1>He might be drunk then, I'm not certain. But like

594
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, you can see everyone just same shock that

595
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you just had in your face. Everyone's just like what

596
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the fuck did he just say? Like what? Yeah, like

597
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 1>trying to like process this.

598
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 2>So shocking, so awkward, so fucked up. Yeah, So like

599
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 2>what do I do now?

600
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Yep? So the man who shot the video, Michael Moore

601
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>later did an interview and said quote. At first, I

602
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 1>was like, did he say that? He said that? And

603
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 1>he said it was he said it with such force.

604
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I think that everyone in the bar that hurt him

605
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of stopped. Time just stopped, and there were some

606
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hardcore wrappers in there and they stopped.

607
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh.

608
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no one really knew what to do, how to

609
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.960
<v Speaker 1>take it in And the video was quickly posted on

610
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:23.400
<v Speaker 1>social media, where authorities were notified and soon came asking

611
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.680
<v Speaker 1>questions with Michael at the bar who recorded it, and

612
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.119
<v Speaker 1>all this sort of stuff. But even before they were

613
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>able to talk with anyone, because I mean, hey, this

614
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 1>is late at night, gets posted by the time they

615
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>got there, bar is probably closed down, right, So before

616
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 1>they were able to talk with anyone in the morning,

617
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 1>police just so happened to cross paths with Robert.

618
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, this guy, I mean, he's getting what's

619
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>coming to him?

620
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh is he?

621
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Welly well, actually no, he should never even been out

622
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>of jail. Like this is one of those things where

623
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 2>you gotta serious regret or like, look at some shit

624
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>for someone like this to be out.

625
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, seriously, but that's not how it played

626
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>out unfortunately. No, we're gonna talk about how it played

627
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 1>out though, okay with going forward in this case. So

628
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 1>here we go. So police early in the hours on

629
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>July thirtieth, which is the very next day after Manda

630
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>went missing, at approximately two forty five am, so real

631
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning. Yeah, LA police officers on patrol

632
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>located Robert's twenty seventeen gray Toyota.

633
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Prius, his fucking prius, his.

634
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Fucking prius, parked on Hill and Second Street in downtown LA.

635
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.599
<v Speaker 1>The police approached the car and lo and behold inside

636
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>was Robert sleeping?

637
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, he probably doesn't have anywhere to.

638
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Go, probably not, so his Prius is now his home

639
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:55.799
<v Speaker 1>on the street here. They woke him up and they

640
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:58.119
<v Speaker 1>tried to talk to him, but rather than a conversation

641
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 1>or anything of the like, what happened instead was a

642
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>five hour long standoff with Robert inside of the vehicle.

643
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.599
<v Speaker 1>He was not compliant, He refused to exit, and I'm

644
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.680
<v Speaker 1>sure they feared that he could drive away in a

645
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>chase that could pose danger to the public, so they

646
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.559
<v Speaker 1>quickly did their best to ensure that he couldn't do

647
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that by bringing in the SWAT team to barricade him in.

648
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Wow, yeah, this is like this guy is causing some

649
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:29.319
<v Speaker 2>serious freaking commotion.

650
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh is he? Ever? So still, though they got the

651
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 1>swat team, he's barricaded. He can't go anywhere. Still, As

652
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the hours ticked by, they could not get him to cooperate.

653
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.279
<v Speaker 1>So finally, at around seven to forty five am, authorities

654
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.519
<v Speaker 1>decided they were going to make him leave the vehicle,

655
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.039
<v Speaker 1>not by force though. They didn't want to open the

656
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:50.759
<v Speaker 1>door go in, like what if he has a knife

657
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 1>or something he could shift someone. That's not the way

658
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to play this. What they ended up doing

659
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 1>is they pumped a chemical agent into his I'm assuming

660
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.119
<v Speaker 1>something along the lines of like tear gas to force

661
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.759
<v Speaker 1>him out. And that's exactly what happened. He quickly came

662
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>out of that car real fast once that was being

663
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pumped inside, and he was quickly apprehended, seeked. They sought

664
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 1>him medical tension for the chemicals. Now, so after a

665
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit of medical attention, then boom, he is in

666
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>jail with this time no possibility of bail.

667
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but like, what do they even have on him? Really?

668
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, his vehicle was searched and inside detectives found blood

669
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>that was a match to Amanda in the trunk. Okay, now,

670
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>they also found reportedly a tarp and what was described

671
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 1>as only a quote digging tool, which I presume is

672
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a shovel. But again, one of those terms that I

673
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:50.320
<v Speaker 1>could not find of complete definition, digging tool is the

674
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.119
<v Speaker 1>same term that was used over and over and over again.

675
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

676
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Robert refused to say anything to investigators in regards to

677
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Amanda's whereaboats, and he just continued to maintain his innocence

678
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 1>even in the face of the overwhelming evidence that they had, like,

679
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.679
<v Speaker 1>for example, a wrapping video where he describes killing and

680
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:11.719
<v Speaker 1>burying the missing woman.

681
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that is quite a bit, but I

682
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 2>guess it's always harder if they didn't find like if

683
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't find the body, right, touche.

684
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 1>So. In the following September, Robert was officially charged with

685
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 1>capital murder, which means, if convicted, he could face up

686
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:36.599
<v Speaker 1>to life in prison or even the death penalty. From here, unfortunately,

687
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:40.039
<v Speaker 1>the information on the case is very few and far between.

688
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I presume that much of the evidence against Robert is

689
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.119
<v Speaker 1>being held for his trial, which means they're not really

690
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 1>making it public. Hence things like quote digging tool are

691
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the tombs that are being used. So I do think

692
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>that they are hiding as much evidence as they can

693
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in preparation. Yeah, in preparation for court. Most of the

694
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 1>articles and updates I could find were from twenty nineteen,

695
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.119
<v Speaker 1>the year that this actually occurred. But I did find

696
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:11.519
<v Speaker 1>one document from February of twenty twenty three, a document

697
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.920
<v Speaker 1>directly from the Court of California where a request for

698
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.239
<v Speaker 1>review of Robert was denied by the court. So it

699
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>is still an ongoing case. He is indeed currently behind

700
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>bars awaiting trial. Good Unfortunately, as we discussed before in

701
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 1>other cases on the show, and as you just mentioned

702
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a moment ago, it is very hard to convict someone

703
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of murder without a body to prove said person is

704
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:39.119
<v Speaker 1>indeed murdered.

705
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.440
<v Speaker 2>So, and I'm imagining too that I mean, they had

706
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.440
<v Speaker 2>a general I don't know exactly like how big of

707
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the scope of the area, but idea of where he went,

708
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm assuming they probably searched the shit out of it.

709
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they've been searching the shit out of it,

710
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure. But the thing is, I can't imagine how

711
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.800
<v Speaker 1>many hectares it would be that this is because he

712
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.159
<v Speaker 1>drove off sixteen miles. I'm not sure which direction it

713
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>was from the city specifically, but he drove off towards

714
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.559
<v Speaker 1>where there's like a couple of different mountain ranges with

715
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's over here somewhere, So I'm pretty sure like

716
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the radius you're probably looking at, like at least a

717
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 1>ten mile radius or something like that.

718
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:20.960
<v Speaker 2>How at least probably Yeah, how do you.

719
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Find a fucking grave in a remote ten mile radius

720
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of the wilderness? You can't luck that night.

721
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I also feel like this guy doesn't seem

722
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 2>like he's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

723
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think so.

724
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:39.400
<v Speaker 2>So, like, I don't know, I can't envision him walking

725
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.039
<v Speaker 2>in there.

726
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Too far, but touche well, especially considering his time frame,

727
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>because he was back right the town already ditched his

728
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>ankle monitor by ninety thirty, so he didn't spend too

729
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.760
<v Speaker 1>long out there burying her, which also speaks to me

730
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that her grave is probably pretty shallow.

731
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, I mean I could see it getting found

732
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 2>one day.

733
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I am on that same page. I mean, honestly,

734
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe all we really need is a really good fucking

735
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 1>like monsoon downpour rain on top of where he potentially

736
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 1>buried her to uncover her.

737
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which would be I mean, just devastating. But it's

738
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:22.159
<v Speaker 2>also nice for families and stuff to get closure, right then, Yes.

739
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Like closure is unknown, Closure isn't everything, but closure is

740
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:27.679
<v Speaker 1>something for.

741
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Sure because it very much so sounds like she is

742
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 2>no longer alive, you know, most probably, which is awful.

743
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 1>So Robert is currently planning on entering a plea deal.

744
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah sorry, not not a plea deal, entering a plea

745
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.840
<v Speaker 1>of not guilty, my apologies. So he is planning on

746
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.519
<v Speaker 1>going into court saying he is not guilty, which means

747
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>he claims he did not kill Amanda and is not

748
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.559
<v Speaker 1>providing any information on where he may have buried her remains.

749
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>As of right now, Amanda Kathleen Custer is currently still

750
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:07.199
<v Speaker 1>missing and unless Robert comes clean, as we just talked about,

751
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:08.480
<v Speaker 1>she may never be found.

752
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Fucking Robert, fucking.

753
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Robert and his fucking prius.

754
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no shit. The visual I was like having trouble

755
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 2>sometimes focusing because all I could see was this prius

756
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and all this shit going down around it and stuff. Yeah,

757
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:25.400
<v Speaker 2>very interesting.

758
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 1>So that is the current story of Amanda Custer. I

759
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.760
<v Speaker 1>could not find a date on when his trial is set.

760
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:35.679
<v Speaker 1>To me, it does not sound like there is a

761
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:43.760
<v Speaker 1>date set, but with the review request denied by the

762
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Court of California, I would presume that we are looking

763
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:50.039
<v Speaker 1>at within a year or two. I'm hoping it sounds

764
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like it's like, no, they're wanting to get this moving on.

765
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:56.599
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully that is the case, and hopefully the evidence

766
00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that is being collected, that is being withheld is enough

767
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.599
<v Speaker 1>to prove what really happened, and then if Robert did

768
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in fact do this, that he pays the fucking price.

769
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:11.360
<v Speaker 2>M yeah, it's too bad. I mean, gosh, yeah, he's

770
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't envision him saying anything so.

771
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, he already said it all though that well no.

772
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:20.199
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, like where the body is or anything, right,

773
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Like he's just keeping his mouth shut now at this point.

774
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, who knows, because with something like that, maybe there

775
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:29.480
<v Speaker 1>will be a plea deal offered, because they're like, hey,

776
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 1>if you show us where she's buried, we can enter

777
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.239
<v Speaker 1>a plea deal of like you know, a half sentence

778
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.000
<v Speaker 1>or it was an act, Like we'll pretend like it

779
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.039
<v Speaker 1>was an accident sort of thing and you won't have

780
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:45.119
<v Speaker 1>like be charged with capital murder or something. Maybe it'll be,

781
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 1>like hate to say it, something low is like manslaughter

782
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. But yeah, depending what's offered, it's

783
00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a possibility. We've seen stuff a little like before.

784
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Wow, poor Amanda.

785
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel for her. Yeah. Like I said, at

786
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the very beginning, she was only wanting to do better

787
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:09.679
<v Speaker 1>for herself. Yeah, and then this asshole drug her down.

788
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Robert's another name, like Carl, A that just seems like shitty.

789
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I have no problem with anyone named Robert, with anyone

790
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.519
<v Speaker 1>named Carl, but it just seems like there's there's there's

791
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>a pattern, there's certain names.

792
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that if you're you're having a baby

793
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and you're thinking about naming your kid, just like, don't

794
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 2>name them that douche, just because I feel like there's

795
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:35.960
<v Speaker 2>names on here that come up more often than not.

796
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I like bad people, but not saying if your

797
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:41.519
<v Speaker 2>name is that that you'll be a bad person. No.

798
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:44.599
<v Speaker 1>I think if anyone out they're listening right now, if

799
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.119
<v Speaker 1>your name is Robert, just be one of the good Roberts.

800
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Please just do it.

801
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.400
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be more good Roberts than that.

802
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, there definitely will be. But you need to overshadow

803
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:56.360
<v Speaker 1>this asshole.

804
00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this guy's nasty.

805
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, I fully believe that Roberts can can out

806
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:07.199
<v Speaker 1>what's the word outdo his negativity with positivity.

807
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I also feel like we were a tape terrible

808
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:12.400
<v Speaker 2>advertisement for Prius.

809
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.239
<v Speaker 1>I fully said, there's nothing wrong with the fucking Prius,

810
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:21.559
<v Speaker 1>it's just the situation that's painted here. Yeah, because like

811
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Priuses are also known for the trunk space and it's

812
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:26.400

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.119
<v Speaker 2>It looks like the camera just turned off. It's done

815
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:30.519
<v Speaker 2>with us.

816
