Speaker 1: Ronnette Swanson is joining us. She is the mother of
Speaker 1: Brandon Swanson joining us from Minnesota. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us from Marshall, Minnesota. Actually, first of all,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, miss Swanson, you were on
Speaker 1: the phone with your son a large part of those
Speaker 1: early hours when you were trying to find him and
Speaker 1: he was trying to find you. He wasn't hurt at all, right,
Speaker 1: I mean the car went into a ditch, but he
Speaker 1: seemed to be okay.
Speaker 2: Oh, correct, he said he was fine, that he was
Speaker 2: not injured. And you know, in fact, when we did
Speaker 2: find his vehicle, there was no damage to it. It
Speaker 2: was simply muddy from being on a gravel road, but
Speaker 2: no damage to the vehicle.
Speaker 1: What was it like that night to be going through
Speaker 1: this and so close to your son, but so far
Speaker 1: from your son?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, as you know, as Brandon tried to
Speaker 2: explain to us where his location was, and he was
Speaker 2: extremely sure of himself. He felt confident in where he
Speaker 2: was at and that we were the ones that were
Speaker 2: confused about, you know, how to get to him. And
Speaker 2: as the conversation went on, is the minutes ticked by
Speaker 2: y you know it? It it came to a point
Speaker 2: where it's as long as Brandon was on the phone,
Speaker 2: as long as he was talking, as long as we
Speaker 2: had contact, it was okay. We would be okay. But
Speaker 2: the minute that he that that call dropped, I just
Speaker 2: became sick. I knew it was wrong. I knew it
Speaker 2: was very, very bad, and just could hardly fathom, you know,
Speaker 2: what was happening at that point.
Speaker 1: Well, I can imagine, I mean to to take a
Speaker 1: breath now, when the call just hung up like that,
Speaker 1: with Brandon in dire distress. I mean, those were the
Speaker 1: words that he seemed to utter when he said, Oh,
Speaker 1: did you try to call him after that? And what happened?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, we did, you know, we we didn't immediately
Speaker 2: hang up the phone. We you know, we called his name.
Speaker 2: We tried to, you know, thinking that he still had
Speaker 2: the phone, that it was very near him, that he
Speaker 2: could pick it up. We'd he'd hear our voice, and
Speaker 2: we called out to him several times and we realized,
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's not there, So we did We
Speaker 2: called him back several times, thinking, you know, he'll he'll
Speaker 2: see the phone light up, even if he didn't have
Speaker 2: it on ring, he would see his phone light up
Speaker 2: when the call came in and he'd find it, you know,
Speaker 2: he'd answer the call, and it just didn't happen time
Speaker 2: and again, just it just went unanswered.
Speaker 3: Hello friends, Steve Stockton here with you in this video
Speaker 3: we bring you a strange case of Brandon Swanson. On
Speaker 3: the night of May third teenth, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 3: nineteen year old Brandon Swanson from Marshall, Minnesota, went out
Speaker 3: with some friends to have a few drinks and some fun.
Speaker 3: It was a Tuesday night, but Brandon had just completed
Speaker 3: his first year of Minnesota West Community and Technical College
Speaker 3: that day, so he and his friends who went to
Speaker 3: the nearby town of Lynn to hang out and celebrate.
Speaker 3: Between ten thirty and eleven pm, Brandon left the friends
Speaker 3: he originally set out with and drove to another friend's
Speaker 3: house in Camby to say goodbye to yet another friend.
Speaker 3: His friends who were with him and Lynn said that
Speaker 3: when he got into his car to make the short drive,
Speaker 3: he wasn't intoxicated, and other witnesses who saw him that
Speaker 3: night all agreed he was not by any means intoxicated
Speaker 3: when he arrived at the friend's house either. They said
Speaker 3: he had one shot of whiskey and then left some
Speaker 3: time after midnight to head back to Marshall. Presumably he
Speaker 3: was headed home at that point. The Director route from
Speaker 3: Camby to Marshall is a thirty minute drive on Highway
Speaker 3: sixty eight. Technically the next day, on May fourteenth, that
Speaker 3: around one thirty of the morning, Brandon got his car
Speaker 3: stuck in a ditch along.
Speaker 4: The gravel road.
Speaker 3: He tried calling multiple friends for help, but unfortunately no
Speaker 3: one answered the calls and Brandon remained stuck on the
Speaker 3: side of the road. Around one point fifty four am,
Speaker 3: Brandon called his parents and told him where he was
Speaker 3: and what had happened, and asked if they could come
Speaker 3: and get him, as he needed a ride home. His parents,
Speaker 3: Annette and Brian Swanson, agreed to come and pick him
Speaker 3: up and ask where he was so they knew where
Speaker 3: to go to find him. He told them he was
Speaker 3: between Marshall and Lynn, and he assured them he wasn't
Speaker 3: injured at all, but just wanted to get home. When
Speaker 3: his parents arrived at the location Brandon had given him,
Speaker 3: he wasn't there and was nowhere in sight. His mother
Speaker 3: called him on his cell phone and the two decided
Speaker 3: to start flashing their lights to alert the other of
Speaker 3: where they were. They all assumed at this point that
Speaker 3: they must have been very close to one another but
Speaker 3: were just missing the other somehow Annette could hear her
Speaker 3: son flashing his lights, and she informed him she was
Speaker 3: doing the same. We're flashing our lights. We're flashing our lights,
Speaker 3: to which Brandon replied, don't you see me. Both Annette
Speaker 3: and Brandon were very frustrated at this point, and Brandon
Speaker 3: ended up hanging up on his mother. She immediately called
Speaker 3: him back with the intention of apologizing to him for
Speaker 3: getting worked up a bit herself. Brandon answered and told
Speaker 3: his mother that he could see the town's lights referring
Speaker 3: to Lynn, and that he was just going to start
Speaker 3: walking in the direction of town. He told her to
Speaker 3: just meet him in the parking lot of a local
Speaker 3: tavern in the town of Lynn. She agreed to meet
Speaker 3: him there. As his parents drove to the tavern, they
Speaker 3: maintained contact with Brandon, with Brian staying on the phone
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 4: Brandon told his father he was going.
Speaker 3: To cut through some fields to take a kind of
Speaker 3: shortcut and save some time on his trip. Since he
Speaker 3: was walking along the way Brandon was telling his father
Speaker 3: over the phone what he was seeing and passing. He
Speaker 3: walked on gravel roads, saw two fence lines, and heard
Speaker 3: running water. About forty seven minutes into the car, Brandon
Speaker 3: yelled and then the call disconnected. Brian Swanson later said
Speaker 3: it sounded as though his son had fallen down or
Speaker 3: possibly slipped. Brian Annette tried repeatedly to call Brandon back,
Speaker 3: but he never answered the phone again. It would just
Speaker 3: ring and ring until sometime the next day, when the
Speaker 3: calls started going straight to voicemail and it was assumed
Speaker 3: that the phone had died. Brandon Swanson hasn't been seen
Speaker 3: or heard from since the end of that faithful call
Speaker 3: with his father that night. That same morning, May fourteenth,
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, Brandon's parents called the police to
Speaker 3: report him as missing. As it's usually the case, the
Speaker 3: police didn't take the call very seriously, insisted that they
Speaker 3: wait a little while, as it wasn't unusual for young
Speaker 3: men Brandon's age to go missing voluntarily for a bit
Speaker 3: without telling their parents. Later on in the day, cell
Speaker 3: phone records for Brandon's phone were retrieved and they showed
Speaker 3: his last things were from near Porter Minnesota, which is
Speaker 3: about twenty five away from where he seemed to have
Speaker 3: thought he was in Lynn. There was no way the
Speaker 3: town he saw was Lynn. Shortly before noon, the authorities
Speaker 3: began their official search for Brandon. At around twelve thirty PM,
Speaker 3: his vehicle, a Chevrolet Lumina, was found in a ditch
Speaker 3: bordering the towns of Lincoln and Yellow Medicine. Lincoln County
Speaker 3: Sheriff Jack Mazeki stated that the ditch was positioned where
Speaker 3: Brandon wouldn't have been able to gain any traction to
Speaker 3: be able to drive himself out of it. There was
Speaker 3: no visible damage to the vehicle and no signs of
Speaker 3: foul play or injury at the scene. In the months
Speaker 3: following his disappearance, law enforcement conducted searches on horseback, using
Speaker 3: ATVs and even foot searchers, but to no avail. They
Speaker 3: even utilized sniffer dogs and searched around and near several
Speaker 3: bodies of water. The dogs ended up leading their handlers
Speaker 3: to the edge of the Yellow Medicine River, which led
Speaker 3: authorities to come to the conclusion that Brandon had somehow
Speaker 3: fallen into the water. This led them to a conduct
Speaker 3: extensive searches in the river but they came up empty
Speaker 3: every time. Because of this, they then concluded that if
Speaker 3: Brandon did indeed fall into the water, he must have
Speaker 3: made his way back out of it at some point
Speaker 3: and didn't drown. They believed he just got himself out
Speaker 3: of the river and continued on his way walking. Their
Speaker 3: conclusion then was that he must have died of hypothermia
Speaker 3: due to the temperature dropping below forty degrees on the
Speaker 3: night that he went missing. Search dogs also alerted to
Speaker 3: human remains being near Mud Creek. However, authorities never found
Speaker 3: any remains at all in this area, let alone Brandon's.
Speaker 3: Authorities believed Brandon could have been anywhere within one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty two square mile radius of the river ten
Speaker 3: years after he seemingly disappeared into thin air the Yellow
Speaker 3: Medicine County Sheriff Bill flood. Instead, it's a huge area
Speaker 3: if you take that immediate area where the car was
Speaker 3: and in the timeframe when he was talking on the
Speaker 3: phone with his parents, Who knows what direction he went
Speaker 3: and how far he traveled. A volunteer firefighter named Darren E.
Speaker 3: Delzer came up with his own theory as to what
Speaker 3: could have happened to Brandon. He took everything he had
Speaker 3: learned about the case and put it all together. He
Speaker 3: noted that Brandon always wore glasses because he was legally
Speaker 3: blind in his left eye. However, on the morning he
Speaker 3: went missing, he'd left his glasses in his car. Based
Speaker 3: on Darren's theory, we could assume Brandon also left him
Speaker 3: in his car when he left in the ditch to
Speaker 3: start walking to go and meet his parents, and therefore
Speaker 3: wasn't wearing them the whole time he was on the
Speaker 3: phone with his folks that night. He made a note
Speaker 3: of the fact that right before Brandon said oh shit
Speaker 3: and possibly slipped when the phone disconnected with the final time,
Speaker 3: he also said, not another fence. He concluded that Brandon
Speaker 3: must have fallen into an unmarked well or system, which
Speaker 3: are very common in rural areas like the ones where
Speaker 3: Brandon went missing. There are theories such as Brandon simply
Speaker 3: left on purpose and orchestrated the whole disappearance. This theory
Speaker 3: allegescy living under an assumed identity somewhere. Most people don't
Speaker 3: give this theory much credit, as if you remember, Brandon
Speaker 3: was calling his parents and several friends that night trying
Speaker 3: to find someone.
Speaker 4: To help him.
Speaker 3: It makes more sense he really was trying to get
Speaker 3: help that night, and not trying to purposely disappear. Theories
Speaker 3: of Brandon suffering some kind of nervous or mental breakdown
Speaker 3: also don't hold much water, as his parents say he
Speaker 3: was lucid while on the phone with him, and also
Speaker 3: that he had no history of any kind of mental illness.
Speaker 3: The initial theory that he had drowned and the theory
Speaker 3: that followed stating that he may have made it back
Speaker 3: out of the water and then died of hypothermia, has
Speaker 3: been highly criticized as well. His phone was working for
Speaker 3: quite a while after the call with his father disconnected.
Speaker 3: It's been said that if the phone had entered the water,
Speaker 3: which it presumably would have since Brian was holding it
Speaker 3: when this theory states he went into the water, it
Speaker 3: would have immediately started going to boysmail right away, as
Speaker 3: it wasn't waterproof and would have been immediately broken. Sure,
Speaker 3: some people counted that by saying that the phone could
Speaker 3: have fallen onto the ground when Brandon slipped into the water.
Speaker 3: But if that was the case, then why was the
Speaker 3: phone never found? Remember, there were extensive searches in and
Speaker 3: around all the bodies of water in a large area
Speaker 3: surrounding where Brandon's car was found and where he alleged
Speaker 3: he was the night he went missing, so it's safe
Speaker 3: to assume here that the phone would have been found
Speaker 3: at some point. It simply wasn't. All of the abandoned
Speaker 3: buildings in the area were also searched, and no human
Speaker 3: remains and none of Brandon's personal facts were found in
Speaker 3: any of them. This discredits the theory that Brandon might
Speaker 3: have sought refuge and shelter in one of them and
Speaker 3: died some other way while inside. Yet another theory is
Speaker 3: that perhaps Brandon was involved in a hit and run
Speaker 3: or otherwise abducted, and that his remains were disposed of
Speaker 3: by the perpetrators. However, there's no evidence at all to
Speaker 3: prove this theory or that foul play was involved in
Speaker 3: any way in Brandon's case. Brandon's parents believe their son's
Speaker 3: disappearance might have been solved had police immediately started investigating
Speaker 3: instead of telling them to wait it out for a while.
Speaker 3: There's no law that says there needs to be a
Speaker 3: waiting period for someone to be able to be reported
Speaker 3: as missing. However, unofficially of course, priority is usually given
Speaker 3: to cases where a foul play is obvious, where people
Speaker 3: are mentally or physically impaired.
Speaker 4: And when younger children are involved.
Speaker 3: A missing eighteen year old who disappeared after night out
Speaker 3: drinking with some friends just didn't seem too important to
Speaker 3: the police until hours after the fact, and so much precious.
Speaker 4: Time had been wasted.
Speaker 3: An Ad and Brian Swanson proposed a law be written
Speaker 3: up in their son's name, Brandon's Law, which would quote
Speaker 3: require law enforcement to take a missing person's report without
Speaker 3: delay after notification of someone missing under dangerous circumstances, no
Speaker 3: matter the missing person's age, immediately conduct a preliminary investigation
Speaker 3: to determine if the person is missing and who the
Speaker 3: person is in danger, and promptly notify all other law
Speaker 3: enforcement agencies of the situation. Brandon's Law, which was sponsored
Speaker 3: by former House Minority Leader Marty Seifert and Senator Dennis Frederickson,
Speaker 3: was signed into law by Minnesota's then Governor Tim Paulini
Speaker 3: on May seventh, two thousand and nine. The law officially
Speaker 3: went into effect on July first, two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: This still leaves one very big question, though, what happened
Speaker 3: to Brandon Swanson? How could he have been so off
Speaker 3: about where he was when he was telling his parents
Speaker 3: he was near Lynn and they were flashing their lights
Speaker 3: at each other but not seeing one another. What led
Speaker 3: him to yell the expletive into the phone and hang up?
Speaker 3: Why wasn't his phone or any of his other belongings
Speaker 3: ever found? There has literally been no trace of him
Speaker 3: since the last time he was heard shouting into the
Speaker 3: phone that faithful night. Hello, friends, welcome to our latest video.
Speaker 3: Today we're going to be discussing the frightening disappearance Tara Calico. Now,
Speaker 3: many times in this community we come across cases that
Speaker 3: are so incredibly baffling we struggle with their humanity and
Speaker 3: wondering how something like this could actually happen. While we
Speaker 3: cover hundreds of cases on this channel of people who
Speaker 3: have gone missing, some who have been found unfortunately deceased,
Speaker 3: and still others who have no trace at all has
Speaker 3: ever been found. As they say, the devil is in
Speaker 3: the details. It's the smallest details. Sometimes they can either
Speaker 3: make or break a case, or that can leave us
Speaker 3: scratching our heads and being even more confused than when
Speaker 3: we first started out The disappearance of Tara Calico is
Speaker 3: one of those cases where you kind of feel like
Speaker 3: you're right on the brink of having the answers, only
Speaker 3: to find the next bit of information bringing you right
Speaker 3: back around to the beginning, right back at square one.
Speaker 3: This sad and frightening case is one of thousands where
Speaker 3: the person was subducted had never seen or heard from again. However,
Speaker 3: it's the little clues along the way which makes this
Speaker 3: case stand out so much. Tarah Calico was from Berlin,
Speaker 3: New Mexico, and this is where her home was when
Speaker 3: she left it on the morning of September thirtieth, nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty eight. Tara was nineteen years old at the time
Speaker 3: and had her whole life ahead of her. She had
Speaker 3: no idea that when she went out for a usual
Speaker 3: bike ride at nine thirty that morning, and it would
Speaker 3: turn out to be the last time she would ever
Speaker 3: see her home again.
Speaker 4: Her mother rode with her in the morning's up.
Speaker 3: Until very recently when she felt that two were being
Speaker 3: stalked by passing motorists and was too scared to continue
Speaker 3: on these morning rides with her daughter. This would be
Speaker 3: a strange and sad coincidence and foreboding that neither mother
Speaker 3: nor daughter had any idea would be so relevant and
Speaker 3: possibly close to the truth until it was too late.
Speaker 3: As far as they were concerned, this day was no
Speaker 3: different than all.
Speaker 4: The rest.
Speaker 3: Ordinary Tuesday morning, or so it seemed. Tarah refused the
Speaker 3: mace her mother suggested she carry along with her following
Speaker 3: the alleged stalker incident, and insisted her mother was just
Speaker 3: being paranoid. Sarah had a date to play tennis with
Speaker 3: her boyfriend at twelve thirty that afternoon and asked her
Speaker 3: mother to come and pick her up if she wasn't
Speaker 3: home by noon. When eleven thirty hit and still no
Speaker 3: sign of Tara, her mother, Patty, set out to go
Speaker 3: and pick her up. As plan, she drove the usual route,
Speaker 3: but this time Tara was nowhere to be found. This
Speaker 3: was long before the days of cell phones, so Patty
Speaker 3: wasn't able to just call her daughter and ask where
Speaker 3: she was or why she wasn't where she was supposed
Speaker 3: to be. However, this was immediately concerning for Patty, and
Speaker 3: she contacted the authorities pretty much right away and reported
Speaker 3: her daughter as missing. As they investigated further and searched
Speaker 3: along the route Tara was known to have been writing
Speaker 3: that day, they found pieces of her sony walkmen a
Speaker 3: cassette tape. Though there was no way of knowing for
Speaker 3: sure that these items belonged to Tara, the family were
Speaker 3: pretty convinced, as they.
Speaker 4: Knew what her belongings looked like.
Speaker 3: Terara was a creature of habit and brought along the
Speaker 3: same walkman, cassette player, and tape with her almost every
Speaker 3: single day. Terra's family believed that she might have purposely
Speaker 3: dropped these items to not only mark her trail, but
Speaker 3: to alert whoever came looking.
Speaker 4: For that she was in some kind of danger.
Speaker 3: After all, there would be no other reason for her
Speaker 3: to have just left her stuff broken and lying on
Speaker 3: the side of the road. During the investigation, several people
Speaker 3: came forward and said that they had indeed seen Tera
Speaker 3: that morning riding her bicycle along the route where items
Speaker 3: were later found. Her bicycle, to this day, has never
Speaker 3: been located. No one witnessed her presumed debduction, however, and
Speaker 3: there weren't many clues other than the people who claimed
Speaker 3: to have seen her and the broken walkman. Scattered around
Speaker 3: the area where she was last seen by several passers by.
Speaker 3: There were several witnesses who said they saw a light
Speaker 3: colored nineteen fifty three Ford pickup truck with a camper
Speaker 3: shelf following her, but the authorities were never able to locate.
Speaker 4: The owner of the vehicle.
Speaker 3: It's unknown whether or not its connected to Terr's disappearance.
Speaker 3: Tarre's case went cold fairly quickly, and her family and
Speaker 3: loved ones were left with no answers and the perpetual
Speaker 3: fear that terror would be found to cease somewhere, along
Speaker 3: with the perpetual hope that she would once again come
Speaker 3: walking through the front door someday. That brings us to
Speaker 3: June of nineteen eighty nine, when it seemed that new
Speaker 3: life was breathed back into the case when terrifying new
Speaker 3: evidence was possibly found in the parking lot of a
Speaker 3: convenience store in Fort Saint Joe, Florida. A photograph was
Speaker 3: lying on the ground between two vehicles. The woman who
Speaker 3: found the photo said it was found in the parking
Speaker 3: space of where a white, windowless Toyota cargo van driven
Speaker 3: by a man with a mustache believed to be in
Speaker 3: his thirties was parked When she arrived at the store. However,
Speaker 3: despite the police setting up roadblocks in an attempt to
Speaker 3: intercept the vehicle, the man was never caught nor brought
Speaker 3: to interrogation. The picture in question was a polaroid which
Speaker 3: shows a little boy and a young woman, both bound
Speaker 3: and gagged and with terrified looks.
Speaker 4: On their faces.
Speaker 3: Because of the duct tape and the gags in their mouth,
Speaker 3: it was hard to tell who the image was of.
Speaker 3: It was theorized by investigators, however, that the young woman
Speaker 3: in the photo was Tera Kalico, and that the boy
Speaker 3: was Michael Henley, also of New Mexico, who disappeared in
Speaker 3: April of nineteen eighty eight. According to investigators, the picture
Speaker 3: had to have been taken after May nineteen eighty nine
Speaker 3: because the particular film used in the photograph was not
Speaker 3: available until then. The identification of the boy in the photographs,
Speaker 3: Michael Henley, seems unlikely because his remains were discovered in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety in the Zuni Mountains, about seven miles from
Speaker 3: his family's campsite where he had originally disappeared, and seventy
Speaker 3: five miles from where Tara Callico disappeared. There was much
Speaker 3: back and forth and conjecture about this polaroid, but in
Speaker 3: the end, the standing ruling is that it was not
Speaker 3: him in the picture. Please believe he simply wandered off
Speaker 3: and sadly died of exposure to the elements. Tara's mother, Patty,
Speaker 3: believed that the girl of the picture was in fact
Speaker 3: her daughter, though this positive identification was mainly made due
Speaker 3: to the scar the woman in the photo had on
Speaker 3: her leg, which according to Patty, was identical to one
Speaker 3: Tara had in the same exact spot on her leg.
Speaker 3: Tara had received this particular scar due to an injury
Speaker 3: she suffered from a car accident when she was younger.
Speaker 3: In addition, a paperback copy of V. C. Andrews's novel
Speaker 3: My Sweet Adrina, said to be one of Tara Callico's
Speaker 3: favorite books, can be seen lying next to the woman.
Speaker 3: Scotland Yard analyzed the photo and concluded that the woman
Speaker 3: was Tara, but a second analysis by the Loss almost
Speaker 3: Sich Laboratory disagreed. An FBI analysis of the photo was inconclusive.
Speaker 3: This is where the case seems to take it even
Speaker 3: more of bizarre turn. Twenty years after the discovery of
Speaker 3: the photograph, which was of course widely shared by media
Speaker 3: at the time, pictures of a little boy were sent
Speaker 3: to the Port Saint Joe Police Chief David Barnes. He
Speaker 3: received two letters, postmarked June tenth and August tenth, two
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, from Albuquerque, New Mexico. One letter contained
Speaker 3: a photo printed on copy paper of a young boy
Speaker 3: with sandy brown hair. Someone had drawn a black band
Speaker 3: in inco on the photo over the boy's mouth, as
Speaker 3: if it were covered in tape, like in the nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty nine polaroid. It seems whoever since the photos was
Speaker 3: alluding to the fact that the boy in the original
Speaker 3: photograph found all of those years ago was Michael Henley.
Speaker 3: After all, this has never been officially confirmed. However, the
Speaker 3: second letter contains an original image of the boy. On
Speaker 3: August twelfth, the Star newspaper in Port Saint Joe received
Speaker 3: a third letter, also postmarked in Albuquerque on August tenth,
Speaker 3: and depicting the same image of a boy with black
Speaker 3: marker drawn over his mouth. None of the letters contained
Speaker 3: a return address or a note indicating the child's identity,
Speaker 3: making the officials there believe it may have something to
Speaker 3: do with the disappearance of Tara Calico. The letters were
Speaker 3: sent in Around the same time, a self proclaimed psychic
Speaker 3: called the detective about Tara, saying she had met a
Speaker 3: runaway in California with whom she worked in a strip
Speaker 3: club with who eventually wound up murdered. The caller said
Speaker 3: she had dreams suggesting the runaway may have been Tara
Speaker 3: Calico and that she may be buried somewhere in California.
Speaker 3: Though it was a long shot and there was no
Speaker 3: real location given publicly as to where this alleged psychic
Speaker 3: said the girl could possibly be buried. The police must
Speaker 3: have had some additional information, as they did conduct searches
Speaker 3: and reported that the search is led to nothing and
Speaker 3: no bodies at all were found, not of Tara Calico
Speaker 3: or anyone else. Additionally, these photos were given to the
Speaker 3: FBI for further investigation in hope of finding fingerprints or
Speaker 3: possible DNA evidence. Twenty years after she disappeared that faithful day,
Speaker 3: in September of nineteen eighty eight, the sheriff of Valencia County,
Speaker 3: California at the time, Renee Rivera, reported that he had
Speaker 3: received what he believed to be credible information that finally
Speaker 3: explained what had happened to Tara. This information alleged that
Speaker 3: some boys who knew her drove up behind her in
Speaker 3: a truck and some form of car accident followed. Tara
Speaker 3: later died, and those responsible covered up the crime. Rivera
Speaker 3: states he knows the names of those involved, but that
Speaker 3: without a body he can't make a case. He hasn't
Speaker 3: released whatever evidence has led him to this conclusion. No
Speaker 3: rest have been made and the case remains open. Tara's stepfather,
Speaker 3: John Dole, has disputed these claims, saying that the chef
Speaker 3: should not have made these comments, that he was not
Speaker 3: willing to arrest anyone, and that strong circumstantial evidence should
Speaker 3: be enough for conviction. Two other polaroid photographs, possibly of Tara,
Speaker 3: have surfaced over the years. The first was found near
Speaker 3: a construction site in Monticito, California, and in a blurry
Speaker 3: photo of a girl's face with tape covering her mouth
Speaker 3: and light blue striped fabric behind her, similar to that
Speaker 3: on the pillow in the Toyota van photo. It was
Speaker 3: taken on film that was not available until June nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty nine. The second photo shows a woman loosely bound
Speaker 3: in gauze, her eyes covered with more gauze and large
Speaker 3: black framed glasses with a male passenger beside her on
Speaker 3: an Amtrak train. For this photo, the film used was
Speaker 3: not available until February nineteen ninety. Tara's mother believed the
Speaker 3: first one was Tara, but thought that the second may
Speaker 3: have been some kind of sick joke. Her sister stated
Speaker 3: they had a striking, uncalming resemblance. As for me, I
Speaker 3: will not rule them out, but keep in mind our
Speaker 3: families had to identify many other photographs, and all but
Speaker 3: those three were ruled out. In October twenty thirteen, a
Speaker 3: six person task force was established to reinvestigate the disappearance.
Speaker 3: As of twenty seventeen, no arrest had been made and
Speaker 3: the case remained open. On October first, twenty nineteen, the
Speaker 3: FBI announced that they are offering a reward of up
Speaker 3: to twenty thousand dollars for precise details leading to the
Speaker 3: identification or location of terror Lee Calico and information leading
Speaker 3: to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.
Speaker 3: In September twenty twenty one, the Valency County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 3: and the New Mexico State Police issued a statement that
Speaker 3: they have a new lead in the case and that
Speaker 3: the focus of a sealed warrant for an unknown private
Speaker 3: residence located within Valencia County has been issued. However, no
Speaker 3: further details were provided and there have been no additional
Speaker 3: updates since that time. So what happened to Tarah Calico?
Speaker 3: Is it possible some boys she knew, possibly from her
Speaker 3: neighborhood or school, decided to try and scare her, but
Speaker 3: took it too far and accidentally ran her over and
Speaker 3: killed her, leading them to then having to cover it
Speaker 3: up and get rid of her body and bicycle. As
Speaker 3: Sheriff Brevera believes. If this is the case, then why
Speaker 3: wasn't the witness or witnesses who allegedly came forward to
Speaker 3: him with this information been called in to testify? As
Speaker 3: Tara's stepfather stated, the circumstantial evidence should have been enough
Speaker 3: for conviction.
Speaker 4: Is it possible that her mother was.
Speaker 3: Right and perhaps someone had been stalking the two of
Speaker 3: them and saw Tara alone deciding to take the opportunity
Speaker 3: to abduct her right there on the side of the road.
Speaker 3: Were any of the bizarre photographs handed in actually of Tara?
Speaker 3: What was the new lead in the case back in
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, and that's Why has nothing ever come of
Speaker 3: this alleged search warrant on the private residence. These are
Speaker 3: questions we hope one day will be answered. If for
Speaker 3: nothing else, then that TERA's family could at least begin
Speaker 3: to heal. Maybe one day justice will be served and
Speaker 3: the facts of what happened to young Tara Calico all
Speaker 3: those years ago when she was simply going for a
Speaker 3: bike ride and listening to some of her favorite music
Speaker 3: in her walkman will come to light and someone will
Speaker 3: be held accounted. As always, will bring you any updates
Speaker 3: to come to light as soon as we receive them. Hello, friends,
Speaker 3: Steve's talking here with you. Welcome to our latest video.
Speaker 3: Today's episode, we're going to bring you the strange vanishing
Speaker 3: of a filmmaker in the woods. Now, we've previously covered
Speaker 3: this case in one of our compilations, but today we're
Speaker 3: going to do a little deeper dive.
Speaker 4: Join me.
Speaker 3: Let's take a walk and see. The woods can be
Speaker 3: a beautiful and mystifying place where all sorts of wonder
Speaker 3: and fun seem to call us sometimes, and when we
Speaker 3: hear that call, most of us can't help but heat it.
Speaker 3: What happens though, when it's darkness beckoning to us out
Speaker 3: there in those densely wood and oftentimes civilizationless places, at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we still can't resist the
Speaker 3: urge to go. They say that the hours or even
Speaker 3: days leading up to person's disappearance will give investigators at
Speaker 3: least an inkling as to what could have possibly happened
Speaker 3: to a person. And it's true that in most missing
Speaker 3: person cases, even those without an official ending, they all
Speaker 3: have some sort of order to them, as in, the
Speaker 3: person did this for this reason, and then did that
Speaker 3: for that reason, and then something happened. Every once in
Speaker 3: a while, though, we come across something truly bizarre and
Speaker 3: a real life mystery, when someone does something baffling and
Speaker 3: unexplainable right before they vanished off the face of the earth,
Speaker 3: never to be seen or heard from again, and leaving
Speaker 3: everyone scratching their heads as to what could have led
Speaker 3: the person to behave in such a strange manner, most
Speaker 3: often completely inconsistent with how they presented themselves day to
Speaker 3: day to the people around them. Folks, here's one of
Speaker 3: those cases. Let's know what you think in the comments below.
Speaker 3: Terence schmil Woods Junior, at just twenty six years old,
Speaker 3: had made quite the name for himself with his quick
Speaker 3: success as a filmmaker. Though educated in England, he was
Speaker 3: a resident of Capitol Heights, Maryland. In the United States,
Speaker 3: he worked on many documentary type films and numerous TV programs,
Speaker 3: some of which had him traveling to and working in
Speaker 3: exotic places like Turkey and Alaska, and in these places
Speaker 3: he would be even more secluded, sometimes out in the
Speaker 3: field filming in the farthestlong parts of these respective places.
Speaker 3: He was not only used to the great outdoors, but
Speaker 3: also used to working in the streniout conditions they often provided,
Speaker 3: and was said to never even break a sweat when
Speaker 3: he would find out that next far out of the
Speaker 3: way place he would be shooting. He loved the adventure
Speaker 3: and the rush of it all. He definitely wasn't opposed
Speaker 3: or a stranger to roughing it out there. In twenty
Speaker 3: eighteen was no exception. Terrence was working for the London
Speaker 3: based production company called Raw TV, who win the States
Speaker 3: Made Know Best for their show on the Discovery Channel
Speaker 3: called gold Rush. In October of that same year, he
Speaker 3: was asked to go out into the wilderness of Montana
Speaker 3: and Idaho for a few weeks to work on a
Speaker 3: documentary for the British show Whitewater. The episode he would
Speaker 3: be filming for was one about a place in the
Speaker 3: heart of north central Idaho in the nez Peris Clearwater
Speaker 3: National Forest, and more specifically a sort of well known
Speaker 3: and somewhat legendary abandoned gold mine called Penman Mine. Terrence
Speaker 3: was one of thirteen crew members, including himself, and at
Speaker 3: first things seemed to be going fine and everything was
Speaker 3: totally normal. He was said to be in good spirits
Speaker 3: and nothing was out of the ordinary with him, or really.
Speaker 4: At all at first.
Speaker 3: That is, it didn't take long, though, for things to
Speaker 3: take a somewhat remarkable term for the bizarre and strange,
Speaker 3: specifically regarding Terrence Woods Junior, on October fifth, twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: The entire crew is that the mine filming for the
Speaker 3: whole day. Terrence and other members of the crew were
Speaker 3: experienced and fully equipped to handle the rugged and somewhat
Speaker 3: treacherous mountainous terrain. Most of the crew schalk Terrence's being
Speaker 3: unusually quiet that day to tiredness, as they were all
Speaker 3: feeling a little exhausted after spending the whole day out
Speaker 3: in this isolated and abandoned and somewhat unfamiliar place. But
Speaker 3: they were done filming, and as they began to pack
Speaker 3: everything up for that day, Terrence would suddenly and seemingly
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, do something very strange that no one
Speaker 3: could explain or make any sense of. He was having
Speaker 3: a conversation with one of the miners, and according to
Speaker 3: witness who later came forward and gave a statement as
Speaker 3: to what he had seen transpire, Terrence excused himself from
Speaker 3: that conversation by saying that he had to go and
Speaker 3: answer the call of nature. Our witness watched from a
Speaker 3: nearby van, and here's what he also reported. He says
Speaker 3: that out of nowhere, he was struggled this seemingly random
Speaker 3: and strange gut feeling to look over to the cliff
Speaker 3: where Terrence had just been standing. That's when he says
Speaker 3: he noticed that Terrence wasn't there. All that was left
Speaker 3: was the radio that he had been using, just left
Speaker 3: there on the ground. The witness said he immediately jumped
Speaker 3: out of the van and ran over to the cliff
Speaker 3: because he thought Terrence had somehow accidentally fallen off of it.
Speaker 3: He was shocked to discover though as he stood there
Speaker 3: looking down over this extremely high cliff, and Terrence was
Speaker 3: already approximately fifteen feet down it, and that he hadn't fallen,
Speaker 3: but had taken off running. He remembered thinking that he
Speaker 3: had never in his life seen anyone run that fast.
Speaker 3: He turned and yelled to some other crew members, telling
Speaker 3: them all to get into a van and drive down
Speaker 3: to the main road. The idea was to cut Terrence
Speaker 3: off at this road and find out what the world
Speaker 3: was going on. The witness took off running after his
Speaker 3: friend he was going out, but Terrence didn't even look back.
Speaker 3: This witness had extensive search and rescue training and stopped
Speaker 3: his pursuit for fear that if Terrence were, for whatever
Speaker 3: reason scared, chasing after him could make him even more fearful.
Speaker 3: It was a very confusing scene. He said that when
Speaker 3: he had finally gotten back up to cliff, the crew
Speaker 3: who had driven to the main road to cut Terrence
Speaker 3: off hadn't seen him.
Speaker 4: It was as though he had.
Speaker 3: Blinked out of existence somewhere between where the witness had left.
Speaker 4: Him and where the main road was.
Speaker 3: The witness further claims the crew then searched and once
Speaker 3: they found a house with a telephone they called for
Speaker 3: help and reported Terrence's missing. Terrence had taken his cell
Speaker 3: phone with him when he took off runting. He left
Speaker 3: behind his two way radio and his backpack containing all
Speaker 3: of his belonging. He had no supplies, and even though
Speaker 3: he had his cell phone, there was no service out
Speaker 3: there in the middle of nowhere. By the time authority
Speaker 3: showed up, it was nearly dark and everyone was concerned
Speaker 3: as to how he would survive.
Speaker 4: Overnight.
Speaker 3: A preliminary search in the immediate area was conducted, but
Speaker 3: when nothing useful was found due to how dark it
Speaker 3: was out there, the search would be haulted until first light.
Speaker 4: In the morning.
Speaker 3: Overnight that night, a fresh sheet of snow had fallen.
Speaker 3: But during the search, which consisted of helicopters, search dogs,
Speaker 3: and infrared camera technology, not even a footprint was found,
Speaker 3: and no one was any closer to figuring out what
Speaker 3: in the world had happened to Terrence Woods Junior. By
Speaker 3: the end of the first search day, the search team
Speaker 3: member even stated quote it's as if he had never
Speaker 3: been there at all.
Speaker 4: Quote.
Speaker 3: After a week, the official search was called off, but
Speaker 3: not without some very bizarre clues that would surface.
Speaker 4: First it was.
Speaker 3: Found that though his job called for him to be
Speaker 3: an Idaho until sometime in mid November, Harnson recently sent
Speaker 3: a text message to his father informing him that he
Speaker 3: would be returning home on October tenth. He did not
Speaker 3: elaborate as to why he would be cutting his trip short,
Speaker 3: and Terrence had never before left a job early, regardless
Speaker 3: of circumstances, location, or anything else from that matter. After
Speaker 3: speaking to some of his friends and family, investigators found
Speaker 3: that Terrence had been extremely anxious over this shoot.
Speaker 4: This was something else.
Speaker 3: That never happened before. He loved the outdoors and he
Speaker 3: loved his job, so he never had any problems or
Speaker 3: issues with getting the work done, regardless of what it took.
Speaker 3: His behavior and anxiety about it was enough to raise
Speaker 3: some eyebrows and make his loved ones feel the investigators
Speaker 3: should know about it after the fact. Indeed, in the
Speaker 3: weeks leading up to the shoot, Terrence had told those
Speaker 3: closest to him that he didn't even want to go
Speaker 3: on the trip, But again, he didn't elaborate as to
Speaker 3: why he felt this way, and everyone just let it
Speaker 3: go and thought nothing more of it until after his disappearance.
Speaker 3: It was extremely strange, all this sudden anxiety and being
Speaker 3: unsure as the only thing he has said to have
Speaker 3: loved more than his job, with the adventures in the
Speaker 3: places that it often took him, these strange and exotic,
Speaker 3: though oftentimes isolated places. A sister, Charnee, disagrees with the
Speaker 3: other's narrative, however, and said that she spoke to her
Speaker 3: brother right before he left and he seemed absolutely fine
Speaker 3: to her. She stated that the whole situation seemed somehow
Speaker 3: unusual to her, and that since she wasn't there and
Speaker 3: all she had to go on was what the other
Speaker 3: crew who were with him that day were saying, she
Speaker 3: didn't really know what to think. She claimed she and
Speaker 3: Terrence spoke often and if they told each other basically everything,
Speaker 3: so if there was something wrong or something bothering Terence,
Speaker 3: he would have certainly mentioned it to her and further
Speaker 3: elaborated on it, she says, though he didn't. She disagrees
Speaker 3: that he was anxious leading him to the trip, and
Speaker 3: also that he was expressing disinterest in going at all.
Speaker 3: She stated, quote, He's traveled around the world, he really
Speaker 3: likes to do TV. He's a loving person and caring,
Speaker 3: an all around good person end quote. On the first
Speaker 3: morning of their first day filming, Terrence had done something
Speaker 3: which at the time his father hadn't thought anything more of,
Speaker 3: but in retrospect said it seemed rather eerie.
Speaker 4: When all was said and done, it.
Speaker 3: Seems Terrence had sent him a text message of some
Speaker 3: video footage which was described as creepy.
Speaker 4: Of a river flowing through the canyon.
Speaker 3: There was no text or explanation as to why I
Speaker 3: was sending this or what it was supposed to mean.
Speaker 3: It was brought up afterwards that Terrence and the production
Speaker 3: manager weren't seeing eye to eye on some things and
Speaker 3: had been having some disagreements, but it's not known if
Speaker 3: this is or isn't connected to his disappearance. The family
Speaker 3: orchestrated searches utilizing volunteers, and posted flyers with terrence picture
Speaker 3: all over the region. Hope quickly faded, however, that he
Speaker 3: had made it out of the area alive, mainly due
Speaker 3: to the harsh and heavy snowfall that had almost immediately
Speaker 3: upon his vanishing rolled through the expands. His family, those
Speaker 3: closest to him said that Terrence had absolutely no history
Speaker 3: of any sort of Middle ivless either, and everyone was
Speaker 3: completely baffled as to why he just up and ran
Speaker 3: down the cliff that way, never looking back. Admittedly, it
Speaker 3: would be fairly easy to get lost or turned around
Speaker 3: in this particulary of mountains and treacherous terrain, but the
Speaker 3: question still remains of what in the world made him
Speaker 3: run in the first place. Was he running towards something
Speaker 3: or was he running away from it? If it was
Speaker 3: either of those things, then what exactly was he running
Speaker 3: to or from? Unfortunately, no one knows the answers to
Speaker 3: these questions still to this day, and Terence Woods Junior
Speaker 3: has never been seen or heard from again, and no
Speaker 3: remains or further evidence or clues have ever surfaced. His
Speaker 3: family have since theorized that perhaps he was either fearful
Speaker 3: of one or more of the crew members there with
Speaker 3: him that day, or fearful due to the actions of
Speaker 3: the same. Authorities have ruled out this theory, though, or
Speaker 3: any theory stating that someone else on the crew is involved,
Speaker 3: and have been adamant that there is absolutely no sign
Speaker 3: whatsoever of foul play. They believed that he had suffered
Speaker 3: some sort of random mental breakdown and either just randomly
Speaker 3: up and booked it down the Cliff, or that he
Speaker 3: had long been planning to take his own life out
Speaker 3: there where he knew nobody would easily find him. However,
Speaker 3: we would like to point out that none of this
Speaker 3: is in keeping with Terrence's usual personality or mental and
Speaker 3: medical history. The only option left, at least to those
Speaker 3: of us who have seen situations like this before, albeit
Speaker 3: not very often. It's what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once stated,
Speaker 3: when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains,
Speaker 3: however improbable, must be the truth. Could some other worldly,
Speaker 3: paranormal or even extraterrestrial.
Speaker 4: Force have been at play here?
Speaker 3: Could he be lured out there into the woods somewhere
Speaker 3: and then possibly passed through a portal of some sort.
Speaker 3: Obviously this is just speculation, and there isn't and could
Speaker 3: be no evidence for this one way or the other,
Speaker 3: but it is something we should all consider, given what
Speaker 3: we know in this channel about what's happening all over
Speaker 3: the world in national parks and forested wooded areas. Could
Speaker 3: Terrence have been super sensitive of these types of things
Speaker 3: and perhaps saw something that no one else could. Did
Speaker 3: he see something only meant for him to see? We
Speaker 3: just don't know, and Terrence's loved ones still struggle with
Speaker 3: the details of the disappearance and the overall vanishing in general.
Speaker 3: His father has allegedly accused the police of not properly
Speaker 3: investigating the case due to alleged racism. However, the police
Speaker 3: stand by their statement that they did all they could
Speaker 3: and did exactly what they would have done for anyone
Speaker 3: in the same circumstance. We now leave it up to you.
Speaker 3: What do you think happened to Terence Woods Junior on
Speaker 3: that day back in October twenty eighteenth when he suddenly
Speaker 3: seemingly went from a perfectly normal, rather successful filmmaker to
Speaker 3: another missing person who seemingly vanished into thin air and
Speaker 3: without a trace, under very strange and bizarre circumstances.
Speaker 4: His world and the world of.
Speaker 3: Those closest to him changed literally in the blink of
Speaker 3: an eye, and not knowing the lie or how of
Speaker 3: that has got to be one of the most painful
Speaker 3: and frustrating things in the world.
Speaker 4: Risk family.
Speaker 1: Today, the search picking back up to find a field
Speaker 1: geologist who's been missing for more than a month now.
Speaker 2: Daniel Robinson has been missing for nearly two months.
Speaker 5: It has been three months since a Valley man went missing.
Speaker 5: A man who disappeared in neighboring Arizona nearly three months
Speaker 5: ago is still nowhere to be found. Twenty four year
Speaker 5: old Daniel Robinson's car was found along with some of
Speaker 5: his belongings, but no sign of Daniel, and then a
Speaker 5: human skull was discovered near the car, but that only
Speaker 5: raised more questions when testing showed it didn't belong to him.
Speaker 3: Hello friends, today we're going to be looking into the
Speaker 3: strange disappearance of Daniel Robinson. Daniel Robinson, twenty four year
Speaker 3: old geologist from Columbia, South Carolina, has been missing since
Speaker 3: he was last seen leaving a job site in the
Speaker 3: area of Sun Valley Parkway and Cactus Road on June
Speaker 3: twenty third, twenty twenty one. Later that day, he was
Speaker 3: reported missing, and nobody has seen or heard from him since.
Speaker 3: Daniel graduated from the College of Charleston in South Carolina
Speaker 3: with a degree in geology. In twenty eighteen, Missing Persons
Speaker 3: flyer was released to the public, and investigators of the
Speaker 3: Buckeye Police Department began speaking with friends and family to
Speaker 3: determine where Robinson may have gone. According to loved ones
Speaker 3: and those who knew him best. There was no indications
Speaker 3: that Daniel had wanted to leave his life behind or
Speaker 3: harm himself in any way. However, it was also stated
Speaker 3: to be very unlike him to not have told anyone
Speaker 3: why he was leaving the job site in the middle
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 4: Day or where he was going.
Speaker 3: Cell Phone and financial records have provided no indication of
Speaker 3: Robinson's possible whereabouts. According to the police, Robinson was last
Speaker 3: seen driving his twenty seventeen Jeep for Renegae, heading west
Speaker 3: further into the desert area of Sun Valley Parkway, just
Speaker 3: north of Cactus Road in Buckeye. While reviewing phone records,
Speaker 3: investigators did notice a single ping that came from his
Speaker 3: cell phone, but there was no available data as to
Speaker 3: the location because, as they stated, the phone was either
Speaker 3: out of range or turned off. It did not appear
Speaker 3: as though Daniel had made any calls or texts after
Speaker 3: leaving the job site on.
Speaker 4: That fateful June day.
Speaker 3: However, on the nineteenth of July, a rancher who owned
Speaker 3: property about four miles southwest from the job site where
Speaker 3: Daniel was last seen, made a call to the police
Speaker 3: and reported having found what looked like Daniel's jeep on
Speaker 3: his property, wrecked and abandoned. Daniel was nowhere around as
Speaker 3: far as the man could tell. It was determined fairly
Speaker 3: quickly to indeed be Daniel's jeep and its hat was
Speaker 3: found that was very concerning. It was stuck in a
Speaker 3: deep ravine with significant damage and appeared to have rolled
Speaker 3: and landed on its side, Buckeye Police said at that time,
Speaker 3: adding that Robinson's cell phone, wallet, keys, and clothing were
Speaker 3: all found at the scene the vehicles airbags had also deployed.
Speaker 3: The buck Eye Police Department also stated that because of
Speaker 3: the rough terrain, the vehicle was not clearly visible to
Speaker 3: cruise searching by air and on foot, the detectives in
Speaker 3: charge of the case immediately began an official and thorough
Speaker 3: search around the area where the vehicle was found. The
Speaker 3: employed search dogs, aerial helicopter searches, and even searched by foot,
Speaker 3: all to no avail. Daniel Robinson, it seems, had disappeared
Speaker 3: without a trace. Police reported that they had searched an
Speaker 3: area of more than seventy square miles together with outside agencies,
Speaker 3: and utilized ATVs to daver or dogs, a helicopter and
Speaker 3: even a drone. Although no further evidence of Daniel or
Speaker 3: even a hint as to what happened to him, other
Speaker 3: than the wrecked vehicle, was found anywhere. When a statement
Speaker 3: issued after the initial search, buck Eye Police added that
Speaker 3: but based on the personal effects found in Daniel's vehicle,
Speaker 3: no foul play is suspected. Daniel's family and the private
Speaker 3: investigator that they've hired disagree. For one, the private investigator
Speaker 3: believes that daniels jeep had been crashed several times in
Speaker 3: different locations before coming to rest on its site in
Speaker 3: the Ravine. Another thing that they found extremely suspicious is
Speaker 3: that the very clothes Daniel was wearing, every single item,
Speaker 3: was found in a pile mere feet away from his
Speaker 3: crash jeep.
Speaker 4: On July thirty first.
Speaker 3: There was a human skull found a bit south of
Speaker 3: the area where his jeep was recovered, but it was
Speaker 3: later forensically determined to not be that of Daniel Robinson.
Speaker 3: No further human remains of any kind were found in
Speaker 3: the search area or around the area where the skull
Speaker 3: was found. Daniel had recently moved to Phoenix for work,
Speaker 3: and it wasn't at all unusual for the job to
Speaker 3: have him working on sites in remote desert locations, often
Speaker 3: in extreme conditions. His father, David Robinson second, has traveled
Speaker 3: from his home in South Carolina to continue the search
Speaker 3: for his son and for answers as to what happened.
Speaker 3: He's also set up a gofunding page to pay for
Speaker 3: a private investigator, along with flyers, continued searches, and other expenses.
Speaker 3: In mid July, Daniel's father claimed that the Buckeye Police
Speaker 3: Department stopped putting in the necessary effort. He even began
Speaker 3: organizing search parties of his own and brought in his
Speaker 3: own private investigator and forensic analysis team. He's launched two
Speaker 3: websites and a Twitter page to help streamline the project.
Speaker 3: David Robinson's efforts are ongoing, with a volunteer party set
Speaker 3: to conduct a search on October second. He is still
Speaker 3: calling on the Buckeye Police Department to revamp the efforts
Speaker 3: and conduct a more thorough investigation into Daniel's disappearance. Daniel
Speaker 3: Robinson is described as five foot eight with black hair
Speaker 3: and brown eyes.
Speaker 4: Is missing a right forearm and hand.
Speaker 3: Anyone with information can submit tips by Robinson's website, which
Speaker 3: you can find in the description, or by contacting the
Speaker 3: Buckeye Police Department at six two three three four nine
Speaker 3: six four zero zero. Well, there you have it, folks.
Speaker 3: What do you think of this strange disappearance? Why would
Speaker 3: Daniel shed all his clothing and take off into the desert.
Speaker 3: You perhaps have a head injury or was he forced
Speaker 3: to do this by someone else? Was this purely an
Speaker 3: accident or was there something more in the Fairy's going on?
Speaker 3: Why would Daniel suddenly leave a job site in the
Speaker 3: middle of work at this time? None of this makes
Speaker 3: any sense. I look forward to reading your comments, but
Speaker 3: we do ask that you please keep it friendly and respectful.
Speaker 3: Many times the family and friends of these missing persons
Speaker 3: watch these videos and read the commentsation. Please don't say
Speaker 3: anything you wouldn't want to read if this was your
Speaker 3: friend or family member loved one being discussed. In the meanwhile,
Speaker 3: be good to yourselves and each other. Be careful out there.
Speaker 3: I'll see you just a little farther on down the trail.
Speaker 3: I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you next time.
