00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, Welcome to the latest installment of our Land

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Loss series. This time we're deving into the

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>cases of Keesland Roberts and Caleb Smith. Now, with all

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the bizarre and seemingly unexplainable disappearance stories were around on

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>YouTube and other places these days, it's easy to get

6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>caught up in them and forget that these are real people,

7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>real possible victims, who had family and friends, loved ones

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>whose lives were affected in every possible way by the

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>person's disappearance. Could also be true that with all the

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>books coming out and again all the videos made and

11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the information online about these cases, it's quite easy to

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>become numbed or jaded to these stories to these people.

13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't it also be true that maybe this numbness, this nonchalance,

14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and somewhat boredom with cases like these, one after another

15
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 1>after another after another, would be exactly what who or

16
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>whatever is involved in orchestrating these disappearances and murders counts on.

17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>In this episode, we're going to discuss two different cases

18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>that have a strange similarity and also a bit of

19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a connection. Please keep in mind, though, that these are

20
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>real human beings, and though their cases may or may

21
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>not be similar to those you've heard over a thousand

22
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>times already. Be shuren't pay attention to the details here.

23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Listen closely and focus on the similarities and strangeness of

24
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>both of these cases, while being sure to bear in

25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>mind that there's one big difference. One of them could

26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>very well still be alive and one of them, unfortunately

27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>has already been found deceased. Let's start with the tragedy

28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>of Caleb Smith. On January fifteenth, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith

29
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>told his grandmother that he was driving to Rome, Georgia,

30
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>has been the day hanging out with some friends who

31
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>lived there. This wasn't anything else the ordinary for the

32
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 1>twenty one year old, so when he requested that she

33
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>leave the dead bolt to the front door of their

34
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>house unlocked for him so he could re enter when

35
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>he got back home later on that night, she happily

36
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>obliged and thought nothing of it. Little did she know

37
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>that while she would speak to her grandson at least

38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>one more time over the phone that same day, as

39
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>he walked out the front door of their house that

40
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>ill fated cold day in January, it would be the

41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 1>last time she would ever actually see him alive technically.

42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>The next day, at twelve thirty two am, Caleb entered

43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>the Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia. This was

44
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>on the way to Rome, Georgia. We know Caleb entered

45
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>this establishment at this exact time because he was seen

46
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>on the gas station's minimal surveillance footage. Three minutes later,

47
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>at twelve thirty five am, Caleb called his grandmother and

48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>informed her that he had to pull into the rest

49
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>stop because he realized he didn't have enough gas to

50
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>get to Rome as he'd initially plan. He told her

51
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>there was one man sitting at a table on the

52
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>other side of the restaurant that he was going to

53
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>ask to help him with five dollars for gas money

54
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>so he can continue on his journey to go and

55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>see his friends. Though his phone records have not been

56
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 1>made public at this time, Caleb is seen on the

57
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>same surveillance footage sitting at his table for a few minutes,

58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>seemingly sending text but possibly browsing the Internet. Caleb did

59
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>eventually get up and approach the man. Assumingly. He asked

60
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the man for the five dollars for gas money, As

61
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>he told his grandmother he was going to do. However,

62
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>it is unclear whether or not the man gave Caleb

63
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the five dollars, and Caleb actually ended up approaching the

64
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>man twice in a matter of just a few minutes.

65
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Is still unknown exactly what the exchanges were between the

66
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>two men. No word either on whether or not this

67
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>man was ever identified a question no information one way

68
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the others can be found. After approaching and speaking to

69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>this man the second time, Caleb returns to his own

70
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>table and sits down facing this unknown man. After just

71
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a minute or two, Caleb gets up and leaves the

72
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>gas station rest stop area, never to be seen alive again.

73
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>When morning came and Caleb's grandmother that realized that his

74
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>bed had been slipped in, she became very concerned. If

75
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Caleb had planned on staying out, he never would have

76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 1>asked her to leave the dead bolt unlocked. Corn She

77
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>decided to go to the last place she knew him

78
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to be when he wasn't answering his phone or returning

79
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>any of her text so she got into her own

80
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>car and drove down to the Flying J rest stop

81
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>and searched the surrounding area and the parking lot for

82
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's car. She eventually found his car parked in the

83
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Flying Jay parking lot, but in the back of the

84
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Dennis restaurant building, assuming where the back entrance or garbage

85
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 1>eggs it would be. This location could be important because

86
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 1>it seems Caleb was parked almost purposely out of view

87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of any of the surveillance cameras. His grandmother states that

88
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>she didn't immediately get out of her car to search

89
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's car because she saw a suspicious looking white Nissan that,

90
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>in her words, she said, freaked her out and decided

91
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it was safer to remain in her vehicle and too

92
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's other family members, whom she had just called arrived.

93
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>She never elaborated on why this white Nissan was suspicious

94
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>looking to her or why it freaked her out so

95
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>although it speculated it was because the windows were tinted

96
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>very dark, and the vehicle had pulled in the park

97
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>directly facing her in front of her vehicle, and nobody

98
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>exited the Nissan. Immediately upon the arrival of the other

99
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 1>two family members she'd called to come and a sister,

100
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the white Nissan pulled out of the parking lot. There's

101
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>no information regarding whether or not this white Nissan had

102
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>any involvement in what happened to Caleb. Upon searching Caleb's car,

103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the family found it was unlocked. The cell phone and

104
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>battery were separated and both in the glove box. The

105
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>keys to the vehicle were on the floor underneath the seat.

106
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Although Caleb had called his grandmother the previous night and

107
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>explained to her that he was almost out of gas,

108
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>his car had a half a tank of gas in

109
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it when it was found. This would have been more

110
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 1>than enough to get him to Rome. Essentially, Aaleb called

111
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>his grandmother to explain about his being long gas for

112
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 1>seemingly no reason. It's been said that he did it

113
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to give it reason as to why he would be

114
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 1>later than expected coming home if he was stuck trying

115
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to get money for gas, but that hasn't been verified.

116
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's jacket was also found in the car. It was

117
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a very cold night in Georgia in the middle of January.

118
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>The family couldn't understand why would leave his jacket behind.

119
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 1>After searching his vehicle, his family called the police to

120
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>report Caleb is missing. Gordon County Sheriff's Office spent all

121
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 1>of the next two days January sixteenth and seventeenth, searching

122
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the areas around the Flying Jay restop for any additional

123
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>evidence or for Caleb himself, with no results. It's also

124
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>worth mentioning here that the GCSO never processed Caleb's car

125
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>for additional evidence, forensic or otherwise, and immediately released it

126
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 1>to the family. On February third, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith's

127
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 1>body was found five miles away from the Flying Jay.

128
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>He was in the marsh and overgrown area of the

129
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>county between the Sugar Valley and Hill City communities. The

130
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff's office reported that a passerby found him in a

131
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>heavily overgrown and poorly drained area. Caleb was completely naked,

132
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and oddly enough, the fire department had been dispatched that

133
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 1>same area. His body was found earlier in the day

134
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in response to a small brush fire, and didn't come

135
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>across Caleb's remains. This is another odd fact. Despite not

136
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing whether or not this brush fire was connected to

137
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's death or not, it was an incredibly wet few

138
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>weeks there in Georgia at the time, so for a

139
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>brushfire to have been started on its own was almost impossible.

140
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>The initial report stated, however, no immediate indications of violence

141
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 1>were regarding Caleb's body, and the GBI revealed that there

142
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>were no indications of violence or evidence of about play.

143
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>The results of the toxicology report were as follows. Caleb

144
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>died as a result of methamphetamine intoxication. There's no known

145
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>information as to whether or not Caleb ever had a

146
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 1>problem with any kind of drugs, and the death was

147
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>ruled accidental. If it weren't for something eerily similar happening

148
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>to a young woman just two days later at the

149
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>same exact Flying Jay gas station, that may have been

150
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of Caleb's story. However, when you add up

151
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to the similarities with a story I'm about to relate

152
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to you, even when sprinkling in the differences, one can't help.

153
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>But wonder we in the true crime community know there's

154
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>usually no such thing as coincidence, and we all also

155
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 1>know that nobody knows this better than law enforcement. So

156
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>why exactly are they trying so hard to make us

157
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>believe that coincidence is exactly what seems to connect these

158
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 1>two cases? Are we really to believe that a young

159
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>man supposed with enough methamphetamine in the system to kill him,

160
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 1>stripped off his clothes, and then not only decided to

161
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 1>walk five miles into bitter cold, high and naked, but

162
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>then he managed to do so without calling any attention

163
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>to himself at all. Is it reasonable to think that

164
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 1>not a single person would noticed a naked young man

165
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>walking on the side of the road for an entire

166
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>five miles. There are so many facts that just do

167
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 1>not seem to fit with the accidental death throughly. Let's

168
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>review just some of them now. First of all, even

169
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>if we ask no questions and accepted that Caleb was

170
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>able to walk all that way without being noticed despite

171
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the condition he was in both physically and mentally, keep

172
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>in mind Caleb was found completely naked. This means no socks,

173
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>no shoes, nothing. Are we also to believe that he

174
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>could have accomplished this naked and five mile walk without

175
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 1>not only doing no damage to but also not dirting

176
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>his feet at all. There is no explanation as to

177
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 1>why or how the police have been able to reconcile

178
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>themselves to calling this death with all the strange facts

179
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and evidence an accident. Caleb was found in a very muddy,

180
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 1>marshy area, not even a drop of mud on his feet.

181
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>His clothes were never found either, but again there is

182
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>no information as to the extent of the police investigation

183
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 1>into where his clothes went either. Why wasn't Caleb's family

184
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 1>allowed to identify the body. Some say it's simply because

185
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of the state of decomposition of the body after being

186
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>outside the marshland for so long, but others aren't so sure.

187
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Remember this was during the cold winter in January. Speculation

188
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and rumors surround this case, and it seems no one

189
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>knows enough to be able to separate fact from fiction.

190
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Our research was only able to find two that weren't

191
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely off the wall wild conjectures and made just a

192
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>tiny bit of sense. The first of these theories is

193
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>that he may have gotten into someone else's car to

194
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>smoke the methamphetamine, a dealer, or perhaps maybe the man

195
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.799
<v Speaker 1>he was seen on camera having multiple conversations with, who,

196
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 1>to the best of the public's knowledge, was never even found,

197
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>let alone questioned or investigated in any way, and it

198
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>tends to happen sometimes to people who've partake in this

199
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>particular substance. Caleb became overheated and started taking off his

200
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>clothes before anyone knew what was happening. Caleb started overdosing,

201
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.639
<v Speaker 1>and whoever he was with, if he was with anyone,

202
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to be involved in any way with this

203
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 1>overdose death for fear, especially if they were the one

204
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that sold or gave it to him. But even if

205
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 1>they were just using with him and drove Caleb's body

206
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to the marshland and left it there, did whoever this

207
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>person or people were think about DNA evidence or forensics

208
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and possibly instead of Caleb stripping himself, did the perpetrators

209
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>or witnesses strip him of his clothes after he died

210
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 1>to eliminate any kind of touch or fiber evidence eventually

211
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 1>coming back to link them or their car to his death.

212
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>The fact of the matter is we just don't know,

213
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>and it seems as though if the investigators in this

214
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>case have it their way, we never will. Caleb's case

215
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>is officially closed at this point. Two days after the

216
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 1>incident with Caleb at this Flying Jay gas station, and eerily,

217
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>an almost shockingly similar disappearance happened. Many people who are

218
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>familiar with Caleb's case feel like what happened to Keithlyn Roberts,

219
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>or at least what everyone knows happened to her because

220
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 1>she has yet to be found, should have initiated at

221
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>least a little bit more investigation into his case. They

222
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>believe it should have led the police, as it did

223
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 1>for most of the public, into asking some serious questions

224
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>regarding that accidental death. Truly, so what happened to Keesln?

225
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's find out now. Please keep in mind as we

226
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 1>go over the details that we know in her case,

227
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 1>that she is still considered missing and should be presumed

228
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>alive until it can be proven that she is not. So.

229
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Paid close attention. On January eighteenth, twenty twenty, twenty one

230
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 1>year old young woman named Keesln Roberts was seen at

231
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the same Flying Jay gas station, only she was encountered

232
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 1>entering an employee's only entrance in the back on the

233
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Dennis side. Remember this is also where Caleb's car was

234
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>found the same Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia.

235
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Some reports state that Keesln was simply told unemployeed that

236
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>she could not be back there in this employee's only

237
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.799
<v Speaker 1>kitchen area entrance, and other states that she actually got

238
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>into some kind of altercation with the person who informed

239
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>her of this and was then told to leave. There's

240
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing official to confirm or disprove either one of these statements. Remember,

241
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.039
<v Speaker 1>there are no cameras in this part of the parking lot.

242
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>What is known, however, is that when she was told

243
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 1>or asked to exit the area, she was ledgedly just

244
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 1>standing there, staring blankly out the door she just entered.

245
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Keeslan had dropped all of her belongings. These included a

246
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>backpack containing her ID, credit and debit cards, cash, and

247
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>phone charger, and ran off the employees of either the

248
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 1>gas station side or the Denny's side. Again, these reports

249
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 1>conflict ended up calling nine to one one and described

250
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Keeslin as a suspicious looking young woman and described the

251
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 1>odd encounter. Keeslan was never seen or heard from again.

252
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Where did Keeslyn go and how did she get there

253
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>without her car? Her vehicle was found two days later

254
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>on January twentieth, with more belongings inside, very near where

255
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Caleb's car was found in the exact same parking lot.

256
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Witnesses would later come forward stating that they had briefly

257
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>spoken to Keeslan that faithful night, and she had allegedly

258
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>told them she was there meeting a male friend. However,

259
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 1>this alleged meeting has never been elaborated on the person

260
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>she was supposedly meeting, and also her boyfriend were questioned,

261
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 1>but police shortly after she was supported missing, but so

262
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.639
<v Speaker 1>far nobody has been named either suspect or even a

263
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>person of interest in the case. It's worth mentioning that

264
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Keyslun did have a history with drug use, mainly methamphetamine,

265
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and had blown off a mandatory probation appointment the day

266
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.039
<v Speaker 1>before she went missing, resulting in a warrant being issued

267
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>for her arrest. Many speculate the Keyeslan so quickly fled

268
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 1>from the Flying Jay that day due to not wanting

269
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 1>to be there when the police were called, because she

270
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>would have been arrested on this warrant, but why not

271
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>take her car. More speculation had Keeslan possibly leaving the

272
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 1>gas station with a trucker, but again this hasn't been confirmed.

273
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>In early March or twenty twenty, when investigators searched the

274
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Flying Jay and no idea why it took this long

275
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for them to search the area her car was found

276
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 1>in in which she was last seen. They did find

277
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 1>items of clothing that belonged to Keeslin in a dumpster

278
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>behind the building. An anonymous witness who has been said

279
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 1>to be fully cooperative with police and not involved in

280
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>any way to her disappearance, came forward and told reporters

281
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that these articles of clothing had been there the entire time,

282
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 1>but police were allegedly just getting around to searching for

283
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and collected them as evidence now and now, meaning two

284
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 1>months later in March. Unfortunately, this is all the evidence available,

285
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 1>at least online in either case. Can it really all

286
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 1>be a coincidence that two young people, one a known

287
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 1>drug user and the other possibility found dead from intoxication

288
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>from the other's drug of choice, go missing from the

289
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>exact same gas station under early similar circumstances within two

290
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>days of each other. Is it also just happened since

291
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 1>that the two also live on the same street as

292
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 1>each other. Now there's no evidence that they even knew

293
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>each other, but still a little too much to overlook

294
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>if you ask most people involved with or following this case,

295
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 1>where is Keeslin? Did she meet the same fate as

296
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Caleb and just hasn't been found yet? Was Caleb's death

297
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.919
<v Speaker 1>truly an accident, and even if it was, someone obviously

298
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 1>moved his body at least, and at most they murdered

299
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 1>him and dumped it at the location where it was found.

300
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Is he's running on our own and of our own

301
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>free will due to fear again of being arrested for

302
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that probation violation and probable relapse. It's also worth mentioning

303
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>here that there have been several sightings of Keesln at

304
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>multiple truck stops in various cities across the country. However,

305
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>none of these have ever been able to actually be

306
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 1>confirmed as her. Now, as we mentioned, her clothes were

307
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>found two months after she was last seen fitting the scene.

308
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 1>So where did she go while naked? Also without anyone

309
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 1>seeing her? As the police are insinuating Caleb took a

310
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 1>live mile naked walk without being noticed too. Were her

311
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>clothes really there the entire time, as the anonymous and

312
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>seemingly cooperative witness claim to news reporters, or are they

313
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 1>dumped there after the fact for whatever reason. Currently, there's

314
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 1>a six thousand dollars reward for information that could lead

315
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 1>to keyslan s whereabouts. If you can help this investigation

316
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 1>in any way, or think you have any information, no

317
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 1>matter how small or insignificant it may seem, please contact

318
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the Gordon County Sheriff's Department at seven zero six six

319
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>two nine one two four four. So what do you

320
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 1>think of this case? Are these bizarre circumstances simply coincidence

321
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>or is there indeed a connection here? I look forward

322
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.799
<v Speaker 1>to reading your comments. As always, we ask that you

323
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>please be respectful in the comment section when discussing this case.

324
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Many times family and friends of the victims do watch

325
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>these videos and read the comments, so please don't say

326
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 1>anything that you wouldn't say if it was your family

327
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>member or friend in this circumstance. In closing, be good

328
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to yourselves and each other. I'm Steve Stockton and I'll

329
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>talk to you next time.
