Speaker 1: Hello friends. Steve Stockton here this video. Our popular request
Speaker 1: is a marathon of some of our creepiest cases ever.
Speaker 1: Join me, let's walk and see Hello friends. In this video,
Speaker 1: we bring you some of the most unbelievably bizarre and
Speaker 1: creepiest disappearances we've ever covered. Some of these defy the imagination,
Speaker 1: so buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride. First
Speaker 1: disappearance Jeremiah Foco. Thirty six year old Jeremiah Focal left
Speaker 1: his apartment headed for his job as a software engineer
Speaker 1: at Oracle in Bellevue, Washington, on July twenty second, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: only can never be seen or heard from again. Jeremiah
Speaker 1: grew up in Standish, Michigan, a small town with around
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred residents, and graduated from the Standish Sterling Central
Speaker 1: High School. In his spare time, Jeremiah enjoyed golfing and snowboarding,
Speaker 1: and Jeremiah's parents still called the small town home. On
Speaker 1: July twenty second, twenty fifteen, Jeremiah phoned his boss at Oracle,
Speaker 1: telling him that he was coming into the office to
Speaker 1: get his laptop prepared, but he never arrived. This was
Speaker 1: extremely out of character for Jeremiah with his father, Edward,
Speaker 1: telling ABC News it makes no sense. Something had to
Speaker 1: have happened. As the hours passed, his boss waited for
Speaker 1: Jeremiah to arrive, but that moment never came. His boss
Speaker 1: then contacted Jeremiah's family to let them know what was
Speaker 1: going on and to ask if they had seen him
Speaker 1: or had contact with him. His family was shocked to
Speaker 1: hear that Jeremiah han't shown up to work, and they
Speaker 1: in turn contacted the police in Seattle. The Seattle Police
Speaker 1: Department took Jeremiah's disappearance very seriously from the get go
Speaker 1: and began retracing Jeremiah's last known movements. CCTV cameras showed
Speaker 1: Jeremiah pulling into the parking garage or his apartment complex
Speaker 1: at twelve o seven am on July twenty second, twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: This wasn't the only piece of cct footage that the
Speaker 1: Seattle police uncovered. Later that day, a man matching Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: description is seen walking down the stairs of the International
Speaker 1: District Bus Station, the bus station that Jeremiah used to
Speaker 1: get to work. The man can be seen walking down
Speaker 1: the stairs carrying a backpack. A friends and family convinced
Speaker 1: that the man in the footage is Jeremiah. The close
Speaker 1: friend of Jeremiah's jos And Combra, told two thirteen Fox News,
Speaker 1: it's nice to see him. We know that he was
Speaker 1: okay as of seven oh two Wednesday. It was comforting
Speaker 1: to see him walk and see the back of his head.
Speaker 1: Just as the man approaches the bottom of the stairs
Speaker 1: and walks toward the tunnel, the footage glitches out. Once
Speaker 1: the glitch clears, the man is gone and there are
Speaker 1: no further sightings of him. The Seattle Police have never
Speaker 1: publicly confirmed towards the man in the footage is indeed
Speaker 1: Jeremiah renee Charchan, Jeremiah's mother told ABC News, every day
Speaker 1: I think that this can't be real. Yet every day
Speaker 1: I wake up and it's real. He got up, got
Speaker 1: ready for work, and fell off the planet. I just
Speaker 1: hope him, pray every day that there will be some sign.
Speaker 1: On August twenty fifth, twenty fifteen, Joson Combra, who runs
Speaker 1: the Facebook page Missing Jeremiah Focal, posted all known activity
Speaker 1: including last phone call, financial activity, employment, presence of vehicle use,
Speaker 1: high cloud use, bus pass use, even a visual by
Speaker 1: the survellance of the parking lot atm And apartment complex.
Speaker 1: All activity ended by midnight the morning of Wednesday, July
Speaker 1: twenty second, twenty fifteen, on the day that he disappeared.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Jeremiah did not use his bus pass.
Speaker 1: He is on Reddit have speculated that the person seeing
Speaker 1: in the bus station is Jeremiah. Let's speculate that the
Speaker 1: ticket system was down and therefore his pass would have
Speaker 1: not registered any activity. As Jeremiah has been missing for
Speaker 1: some time, he had not paid his rent and his
Speaker 1: family were subsequently served with an eviction noted in a
Speaker 1: further post dated January tenth, twenty sixteen, on the Facebook page,
Speaker 1: Joscelyn wrote. As mentioned in the previous updates, a group
Speaker 1: of his friends came with trucks and waited on the
Speaker 1: curve for his belongings to be placed outside the u
Speaker 1: Wat Jemiah Village apartments. Follow normal eviction protocol. We salvaged
Speaker 1: all his personal belongings such as documents, clothes, memorabilia, and
Speaker 1: some household items, but we weren't able to store at
Speaker 1: larger furniture. Currently, his belongings are stored in the garage
Speaker 1: in one of his friend's houses. They are slowly going
Speaker 1: through his belongings to search for clothes, but nothing yet.
Speaker 1: We found the shirt and shorts he was positively idd
Speaker 1: in in the apartment surveillance video in his dirty hamper,
Speaker 1: so we know that he changed. Since twelve o seven
Speaker 1: a m. Wednesday, July twenty second, twenty fifteen, we continue
Speaker 1: to call his cell phone and the number has now
Speaker 1: been disconnected. Bizarrely, after Jeremiah's disappearance, his car was found
Speaker 1: behind his apartment on sixth Avenue South not It's unknown
Speaker 1: whether Jeremiah or another person moved his car out of
Speaker 1: the parking garage. Since their son's disappearance, Jeremiah's parents have
Speaker 1: been heavily involved with the Seattle Police Department and blew
Speaker 1: out to Seattle to help with the search for him.
Speaker 1: His parents also provided DNA samples to the police department
Speaker 1: to the identification of remains would be faster in the
Speaker 1: event that Jeremiah was found. Around twenty to twenty five
Speaker 1: of Jeremiah's closest friends and family dedicate their time to
Speaker 1: keeping the investigation alive and undertaking their own investigations. The
Speaker 1: Seattle Police Department does not suspect that Jeremiah met with
Speaker 1: foul play. However, they have stated that his case is
Speaker 1: still active and open. Jeremiah Focal was thirty six years
Speaker 1: old when he was last seen on July twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. He described as white male with brown hair
Speaker 1: and brown eyes. Jeremiah sometimes uses the nickname Jay. The
Speaker 1: sports a shaved head. He was last seen wearing a
Speaker 1: black T shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, and also wore
Speaker 1: glasses for reading. If you have any information about the
Speaker 1: mysterious disappearance of Jeremiah Foco, you are asked to please
Speaker 1: contact the Seattle Police Department at two zero six six
Speaker 1: two five five zero one one. Jeene Johnson seventy year
Speaker 1: old Jean Johnson lived a quiet and peaceful life in Capitan,
Speaker 1: New Mexico, in twenty nineteen. Seven years earlier, in twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: Jean's beloved husband had passed away, and since then there
Speaker 1: was a hold in her heart that only one man
Speaker 1: could ever fill. Jean found it incredibly difficult to move
Speaker 1: on and wore a pendant filled with his ashes on
Speaker 1: a necklace close to her heart, as well as wearing
Speaker 1: her wedding ring. By all accounts, Jeane was a loving grandmother, mother,
Speaker 1: and wife, and devoted her time to play with her
Speaker 1: grandchildren and talking to her friends in town. She also
Speaker 1: enjoyed gardening and taking life at a slope base. So
Speaker 1: when Gene was seriously vanished into thin air and failed
Speaker 1: to make contact with her daughter Heidi, her family knew
Speaker 1: something was very wrong. On Sunday, May twenty sixth, twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: Jean was dog sitting for a friend who was out
Speaker 1: of town, and at some point during the day Jean
Speaker 1: snapped a selfie of her and the dog and sent
Speaker 1: it to her daughter, Heidi. Heid he told Dateline, she
Speaker 1: sent me a picture of her and the dog relaxing.
Speaker 1: My mother was my best friend. We were very close.
Speaker 1: We talked at least three times a day. This is
Speaker 1: the last known contact from Jane, and after this she
Speaker 1: mysteriously vanished into thin air. On Monday, the twenty seventh
Speaker 1: of May twenty nineteen, Heidi attempted to call her mother
Speaker 1: that evening, but got no answer. In an NBC News report,
Speaker 1: Heidie taells reporter Andrew Cavalier that she was working all
Speaker 1: day and her ten year old son had a friend
Speaker 1: over that night, so calling her mother and slipped her
Speaker 1: mind until the evening. Then she tried to call her
Speaker 1: again on Tuesday, the twenty eighth of May twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: but again received no answer. Idie became concerned that her
Speaker 1: mother wasn't answering her phone, and the next phone call
Speaker 1: she received turned her world upside down. The friend that
Speaker 1: Geene had been dog sitting for called Heidi to let
Speaker 1: her know that Geene had never dropped the dog off
Speaker 1: on Monday, the twenty seventh of May twenty nineteen. As played,
Speaker 1: this phone call confirmed Hattie's suspicions that something was terribly wrong,
Speaker 1: and she dropped everything to rush over to her mother's house.
Speaker 1: Told NBC News, that's when I'm panning. I just felt
Speaker 1: like something was terribly wrong. I had a bad feeling
Speaker 1: the entire way. As Heidi pulled up outside of her
Speaker 1: mother's home, located on Towey Road in cap Ten, New Mexico,
Speaker 1: her stomach sang. The gate into the driveway was locked,
Speaker 1: and Jeane's car was also locked and parked on the driveway.
Speaker 1: Idi peered into the car and saw her mother's phone
Speaker 1: in perst in the car, but there was no sign
Speaker 1: of her mother. The front door was described as being
Speaker 1: slightly ajar, but nothing in the home appeared to be
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. As Heidi stepped inside, she found
Speaker 1: the dog that her mother had been dog sitting. The
Speaker 1: dog was fine, save for a few accidents it had
Speaker 1: around the house. Still, there was no sign of gene.
Speaker 1: I'd he checked her mother's home, hoping that she would
Speaker 1: find her somewhere. As she moved throughout the apartment, she
Speaker 1: noticed that one thing was missing, through fifty seven caliber
Speaker 1: pistol that Jean kept in the house for protection. I'd
Speaker 1: he told investigators that her mother would only use the
Speaker 1: gun if she was scared. Initially, investigators feared that Jean
Speaker 1: had used the gun to take her own life. I'd
Speaker 1: he called the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office shortly after and
Speaker 1: reported her mother missing, triggering an investigation. In a strange twist,
Speaker 1: the gun was turned into the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 1: two months later by an unknown person. The Sheriff's office
Speaker 1: has not released the description of the person who had
Speaker 1: it in the gun, and they remained unidentified. The Lincoln
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, we're not ruling
Speaker 1: anybody in and we're not ruling anybody out because we
Speaker 1: don't know yet. Jean's ten acre property has been extensively searched,
Speaker 1: but no evidence was found. Heidi did tell investigators that
Speaker 1: her mother was sometimes forgetful, but had no history of
Speaker 1: wandering off. Seventy year old Jeans Johnson was last heard
Speaker 1: from on Sunday, May twenty six, twenty nineteen, and her
Speaker 1: last confirmed whereabouts are at her home on Towy Road

Speaker 1: and her general descriptions listed as five six, one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds. Her daughter, Heidi, said that she was
Speaker 1: possibly wearing a silver wedding band with three diamonds and
Speaker 1: a clear pendant with her husband's ashes inside. If you

Speaker 1: had picked up a hitchhiker near Wilderville, Oregon. John told
Speaker 1: ABC thirteen News, she talked to me about angels and

Speaker 1: left the house once again, but this time to walk
Speaker 1: the dog Lucy that they had been taken care of
Speaker 1: for a few days. Lucy, the dog belonged to Lynn's
Speaker 1: stepdaughter and Bob's biological daughter, and according to articles, they
Speaker 1: had been looking after her for a few days while
Speaker 1: the owner was unavailable. Lynn and Lucy headed southeast from
Speaker 1: the home and into the woods, and it would before
Speaker 1: agonizing days until there was any sign of either of them.
Speaker 1: After fifteen minutes had passed and Lynn still hadn't returned home,
Speaker 1: Bob began to worry. He knew that Lynn's route should
Speaker 1: have only taken her fifteen minutes. Then another ten minutes
Speaker 1: passed and there was still no sign of Lynn or Lucy. Concerned,
Speaker 1: Bob left the house and began looking for them. I
Speaker 1: found no sign of them. When forty five minutes had passed,
Speaker 1: Bob began going door to door and asking neighbors if
Speaker 1: they had seen to do off. To his horror, no
Speaker 1: one had. Now in a state of panic, Bob called
Speaker 1: Lynn's brother in law who's a volunteer firefighter for the
Speaker 1: Fall River Mills Fire Department, and asked for their assistance
Speaker 1: in finding Lynn. Her brother in law. I sprung into
Speaker 1: action and along with Bob home to the area for
Speaker 1: an hour, but to no avail. Realizing that something was
Speaker 1: very wrong at this point, Bob picked up the poem
Speaker 1: done and called the Shasta County Sheriff's Department to officially
Speaker 1: report his wife missing. By this point, Lynn's family had
Speaker 1: been made aware of her sudden and mysterious disappearance and
Speaker 1: came from all over the US to help with the search.
Speaker 1: The local community soon caught wind of Lynn's disappearance, and
Speaker 1: in a Facebook post, the Sheriff's department said the Shasta
Speaker 1: County Search and Rescue was activated and numerous resources were
Speaker 1: deployed to the area to aid in the search from
Speaker 1: his Palmer. These resources included dirt riders, mounted possing, ground team, jeepers,
Speaker 1: and mountain Rescue. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office will continue
Speaker 1: to search for his palmer throughout the night. For four days,
Speaker 1: the Shasta County and the teams mentioned above search for Lynne,
Speaker 1: but there was just no sign up then on the
Speaker 1: fourth day, April twenty fourth, something miraculous happened. AV called
Speaker 1: the event and an NBC interview, saying suddenly the missing
Speaker 1: dog came back on day four. They immediately brought her
Speaker 1: into the house. There was food and water for and
Speaker 1: she went and drank some water. But it was weird
Speaker 1: because she didn't eat any of the food. Another day
Speaker 1: passed and sadly, the search was officially called off after
Speaker 1: there was no evidence found. Lynn's family weren't given up
Speaker 1: that easily and brought in the Mendocino County Sniffer dog
Speaker 1: in it to see if their dogs would be able
Speaker 1: to shed some light on her mysterious disappearance. According to Dave,
Speaker 1: Lynn's son, the dog tractor sent along her main walking
Speaker 1: route out to an abandoned trailer, into a dirt road,
Speaker 1: and then out to the main road. The scent disappeared
Speaker 1: at the main road. Since Lynn's mysterious disappearance April twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: her family have continued their search For a month after
Speaker 1: she went missing. The Shasta County Sheriff's office said that
Speaker 1: she was considered missing under suspicious circumstances, and her case
Speaker 1: has remained open ever since. Now in the months before
Speaker 1: her disappearance, Lynn had begun showing signs of dementia, and
Speaker 1: her son Dave, said there were just some things she
Speaker 1: would have to repeat or things she would not remember.
Speaker 1: Her family maintains that she couldn't have gotten lost on
Speaker 1: her walk due to the confusion, as it was her route,
Speaker 1: she wofed often and only started to forget the little things,
Speaker 1: Plus the dog knew the route as well. Lynn's family
Speaker 1: are desperate for answers and her offering a five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars reward for any information that leads to her whereabouts.
Speaker 1: Dave is adamant that his mother did not leave of
Speaker 1: her own accord, telling NBC, there's one thing I do know.
Speaker 1: She didn't take off on her own will. So her
Speaker 1: body is still out there, and the dog stayed until
Speaker 1: she passed away, and we just haven't found her body yet.
Speaker 1: Or someone took her and either they took the dog
Speaker 1: with her, or the dog followed them and then came back.
Speaker 1: They could have disposed of her, or the rare cases
Speaker 1: that they still have her. Laura Lynn Lynn Palmer was
Speaker 1: last scene on April twenty, twenty eighteen. She has described
Speaker 1: as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes.
Speaker 1: Both of her ears appears as she has an appendectomy
Speaker 1: scar on her abomen Lynn was last seen wearing a
Speaker 1: T shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes, and earrings and was
Speaker 1: possibly carrying a can of light beer and was wearing
Speaker 1: her glasses that have thick lenses. If you have any information,

Speaker 1: you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact the Secret

Speaker 1: Stacy Smart Fifty two year old Stacy Smart was reported
Speaker 1: missing by her daughter, Nicole Santos Haman on November two,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, after nobody had heard from her for a while.
Speaker 1: On that same day, if you'll recall, Sherry Peppini also
Speaker 1: mysteriously disappeared, only to be found alive weeks later. Peppenie's
Speaker 1: case garnered international media attention, while Stacy's case has been
Speaker 1: largely overshadowed and forgotten about. It, but here at Missing
Speaker 1: Persons Mysteries. We want to make sure that we give
Speaker 1: Stacy's case as much exposure as possible and extend our
Speaker 1: condolences to her family and pray that they find closures soon.
Speaker 1: The details in Stacy's case are few and far between. Nicole,
Speaker 1: Stacy's daughter, says that she last spoke to her mother
Speaker 1: on October twelfth, twenty sixteen, and knew that she was
Speaker 1: going to a housewarming party in Lewiston, California, on October fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. By October sixteenth, all activity on Stacy's bank
Speaker 1: cards had stopped, and as Halloween rolled around, she failed
Speaker 1: to make contact with her family, which was extremely out
Speaker 1: of character. Her daughter also told Crime Watch Daily that
Speaker 1: Stacy's landline had been disconnected, which deeply concerned the family.
Speaker 1: At the time of her disappearance, Stacy was living with
Speaker 1: her boyfriend Tony Brand, and Brand has never commented on
Speaker 1: why he did reports girlfriend missing or make contact with
Speaker 1: her family if he knew she was okay in the
Speaker 1: infraim period before she was reported missing. Stacy's daughter, Nicole
Speaker 1: told news media that a month before her mother was
Speaker 1: steriously disappeared, she'd called her grandmother in tears, saying that
Speaker 1: Brand had been cheating on her and the two had
Speaker 1: gotten into an argument. Stacy later followed up with her family,
Speaker 1: claiming that the two had made up, then a month later,
Speaker 1: she vanished. Investigators are keeping very tight lipped about the
Speaker 1: investigation into Stacy's disappearance, and although her case was featured
Speaker 1: on an episode of Crime Watch Daily a few leads
Speaker 1: of servants. One interesting thing to note about this episode,
Speaker 1: which is available to watch on YouTube, is that Brand
Speaker 1: spoke with the producers of the show but refused to
Speaker 1: be on camera, instead opting to just give a statement. Now,
Speaker 1: this is in no way saying that he's guilty, but
Speaker 1: it is an important thing to note. The statement provided
Speaker 1: by Brand, read by his lawyer Douglas Gardner, said Tony
Speaker 1: was in a loving, intimate relationship with Stacy which ended
Speaker 1: with as much mystery to him as anyone else. He
Speaker 1: is fully cooperated with the investigators in this case and
Speaker 1: is afraid for Stacy as any of her other locals.
Speaker 1: Law enforcement confirmed that Brand had been cooperative during their
Speaker 1: initial investigation, but requested that his lawyer, Douglas Gardner be
Speaker 1: present when he took a light detector test. The results
Speaker 1: of these tests have never been made public, and we
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't put too much weight or validity into those
Speaker 1: results anybody. After all, there is a reason that light
Speaker 1: detector tests aren't admissible in most courts across the world.
Speaker 1: A KRCR article written in November twenty nineteen, through years
Speaker 1: after Stacy's mysterious disappearance, mentions Angie Foresland, a search manager
Speaker 1: who was hired by Stacy's family following her disappearance. The
Speaker 1: article reads, Angi Forceland, the search manager hired by the
Speaker 1: Smart family to find Stacy, told KRCR in an interview
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen she believes he's a suspect in her disappearance.
Speaker 1: According to Forestland and the family, Smart's boyfriend changed the
Speaker 1: carpet in his home near Lewiston Lake after Smart was
Speaker 1: reported missing. He also told the family she had moved out.
Speaker 1: Stacy Smart last made contact with her family on October twelfth,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and it's not been seen or heard from since.
Speaker 1: Investigators have not stated where they believe she has met
Speaker 1: with foul play, and the investigation is currently ongoing. Stacy
Speaker 1: Smart is described as a white female with blonde hair
Speaker 1: and blue eyes. At the time her disappearance, her hair
Speaker 1: was platinum blonde and in a pixie style cut. Stacy
Speaker 1: also has a tattoo of a red lotus blow on
Speaker 1: her lower back and likes to wear hats. Stacy's family
Speaker 1: are desperate for answers and have teamed up with a
Speaker 1: Secret Witness Program to offer a ten thousand dollars reward
Speaker 1: for any information that leads to her. Her family has
Speaker 1: also set up a GoFundMe. If you have any information,
Speaker 1: you're urged contact either the Trinity County Sheriff's Department on
Speaker 1: five three zero six two three three seven four zero
Speaker 1: for the Secret Witness Program on a five to three
Speaker 1: zero two four three two three one nine number three.
Speaker 1: Aaron Marie Gilbert twenty four year old Aaron Marie Gilbert
Speaker 1: had the world at her feet, and her family described
Speaker 1: her as a smart and responsible young woman who was
Speaker 1: athletic but also knew how to glam it up. Aaron
Speaker 1: lund playing basketball and being six foot tall, she was
Speaker 1: perfect for the sport. Her family commented that she was
Speaker 1: always happy, someone who was looking forward to all of
Speaker 1: her tomorrows, but sadly, Aaron's seemingly endless supplies of tomorrow
Speaker 1: were cut short, and she has been officially listed as
Speaker 1: a missing person since July first, nineteen ninety five. In
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, Aaron moved from her native San Francisco, California,
Speaker 1: and Everett, Washington, to Anchorage, Alaska. Darn had gotten herself
Speaker 1: a job as a nanny, and by nineteen ninety five
Speaker 1: she was living with her sister Stephanie and had enrolled
Speaker 1: herself in beauty school, which was due to start in
Speaker 1: the autumn of nineteen ninety five. When asked about the
Speaker 1: drastic move from the mainland USA to Alaska, her sister
Speaker 1: Stephanie told NBC News, my husband traveled lot for work
Speaker 1: and I was alone so much of the time, so
Speaker 1: I told Aaron she should come and stay with me
Speaker 1: in Alaska. She'd been living in San Francisco with her
Speaker 1: dad since the day that she arrived in Anchorage. Aaron
Speaker 1: turned many heads, and her friends and family described her
Speaker 1: as a beautiful young woman. On June thirtieth, nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: while out at about, Aaron met a man named David
Speaker 1: Combs at a bar called Chilcoot Charlie's, and the pair
Speaker 1: immediately hit it off. The two had so much in
Speaker 1: common and so much chemistry that they agreed to meet
Speaker 1: the next day on July first, ninety five for a
Speaker 1: proper date. July first rolled around and David picked up
Speaker 1: Aaron and drove them out to the Girdwood Forest Fair
Speaker 1: in Girdwood, Alaska. The two walked around the fair and
Speaker 1: witnesses recall seeing Erin and David had a beer guarden.
Speaker 1: Just before six pm. The two left the beer garden
Speaker 1: and made their way over to David's car, but it
Speaker 1: wouldn't start. David had left the car lights while they
Speaker 1: were at the fair, which had completely drained his battery.
Speaker 1: David turned to Aaron and told him that he would
Speaker 1: walk to his friend's house, which was nearby, and ask
Speaker 1: him to come and help him out. He then explained
Speaker 1: to the investigators that he walked around Girdwood and the
Speaker 1: surrounding area for two hours before realizing he couldn't find
Speaker 1: his friend's house. When David realized he couldn't find this
Speaker 1: house as initially planned, he made his way back to
Speaker 1: the fairground. As he walked toward his car, his heart sank.
Speaker 1: There was no sign of Erin anywhere. In a rash decision.
Speaker 1: He tried his car one more time, and amazingly, this
Speaker 1: time the engine turned over and it started. Knowing that
Speaker 1: something still wasn't right, he traversed around the pair toil
Speaker 1: one am, looking for his date before heading home. According
Speaker 1: to Erin's family, David didn't tell them she was missing
Speaker 1: until seven am the next morning. On July second, nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five, Stephanie told NBC News he didn't tell anyone
Speaker 1: she was most until he called me around seven am
Speaker 1: the next morning. He said, he called to make sure
Speaker 1: Aaron made it home okay. He was very casual about it.
Speaker 1: As Stephanie peered into Aaron's room and saw that it
Speaker 1: was empty, her heart immediately sank into her stomach. She too,
Speaker 1: since that something was wrong, so she called the rest
Speaker 1: of the family and they drove to the fairground to
Speaker 1: conduct their own search. Aaron's family called the fairground and
Speaker 1: the surrounding woods and even had Aaron's name broadcasting from
Speaker 1: the stage a kid, something you'd see when a child
Speaker 1: warns off from their parents. But Aaron never appeared from
Speaker 1: the woods, and soon the Alaska State Troopers became involved
Speaker 1: and an official missing person's case was open. With. Using
Speaker 1: search dogs and helicopters. The troopers began covering the surrounding
Speaker 1: area and looking for Aaron, but as if she had
Speaker 1: simply vanished into thin air. The state troopers have stressed
Speaker 1: Aaron's case is a missing person case and not a
Speaker 1: homicide investigation at this time. David Colmbs, the man that
Speaker 1: Aaron last scene with on July first, nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: has been cleared as a suspect, and the authorities claim
Speaker 1: that he has been cooperative throughout the entire ordeal. Aaron
Speaker 1: Marie Gilbert was last seen on July first, nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: at the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska. She's described
Speaker 1: as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes.
Speaker 1: She has a tattoo of a large blue flower on
Speaker 1: her chest, and at the time of her disappearance, her
Speaker 1: hair was cut short into a bob. Aaron is around
Speaker 1: six feet tall and weighs about one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five pounds. She was last seen wearing a black leather jacket,
Speaker 1: a black and white striped shirt, black jeans, and brown
Speaker 1: mountain boots. May fourth, of twenty twenty one would have
Speaker 1: been Aaron's fiftieth birthday, and her family are desperate for answers.
Speaker 1: There's currently a thirty thousand dollars reward for information, and Stephanie,
Speaker 1: her sister, runs the Facebook page called Binding Aaron Marie Gilbert.
Speaker 1: If you have any information, you're urged to contact the
Speaker 1: Alaska State Troopers on nine zero seven four two eight
Speaker 1: seven to zero zero or nine zero seven two six
Speaker 1: nine five four nine seven number two. Stephen Kraft. February fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, residents of Benton Township, Michigan and beyond
Speaker 1: huddled together in the Chris Bear to hold the vigil
Speaker 1: to mark the twentieth anniversary of Stephen Earl Craft two's
Speaker 1: disappearance in two thousand and one. Fred Kralzig, who lives
Speaker 1: on Holly Street, the same street that twelve year old
Speaker 1: Stephen disappeared from, told WNDU, I would hope that if
Speaker 1: someone did know something out there, that they would say something.
Speaker 1: Hopefully somehow he returns. If not well, and if he's
Speaker 1: not here with us anymore, then all I know is
Speaker 1: his family will see him in heaven if he's not
Speaker 1: here anymore. Nobody really knows that for sure. On February fifteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, twelve year old Stephen Kraft left
Speaker 1: his home on the dead end street named Holly Street
Speaker 1: to play with the two family dogs, and witnesses recall
Speaker 1: seeing him on the twenty one hundred block of Holly
Speaker 1: Drive between seven pm and eight pm that night. Stephen
Speaker 1: happily played outside and had promised his parents that he
Speaker 1: would be back home in time for supper, but Stephen
Speaker 1: never came through the door. According to Chief Smidt of
Speaker 1: the Benton Township Police Department, Stephen's mother called police in
Speaker 1: the early morning hours of the sixteenth of February. Our
Speaker 1: protocol was typical. We went out and took the report,
Speaker 1: and since it was someone that young of an age,
Speaker 1: we gathered information who last saw him. Sometimes kids do
Speaker 1: run away, but he hadn't run away before. In the
Speaker 1: days leading up to his disappearance, Stephen had been suspended
Speaker 1: from Whole elementary school for five days after he defended
Speaker 1: himself during a scuffle with another student. Both the headmaster
Speaker 1: and Stephen's parents said that this behavior was very out
Speaker 1: of character for it, and that he was usually a quiet,
Speaker 1: well behaved student who kept his head down. After Stephen
Speaker 1: had been reported missing, a wide scale search began for him,
Speaker 1: and this search was spurred by a sense of urgency
Speaker 1: not just because of his age, but because the temperature
Speaker 1: had dropped well below freezing and Stephen wasn't wearing a
Speaker 1: hat or gloves. Police, Stephen's family, and the local community
Speaker 1: combed the area looking for any sign of the twelve
Speaker 1: year old and caught a break when they discovered Stephen's
Speaker 1: icy footsteps walking over a frozen pond near his home
Speaker 1: on Holly Street. According to the Charlie Project, these footsteps
Speaker 1: led in the direction of Harbor Haven Ministries on Irving Street,
Speaker 1: which is approximately one block away from Holly Street or
Speaker 1: stephen limb. After this, it appears that the trail goes cold,
Speaker 1: and investigators commented that the weather, combined with his young age,
Speaker 1: made it difficult for them. On February eighteenth, two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, the familiar pitter patter of feet was heard
Speaker 1: at the Craft residence. Outside stood the older dog, a
Speaker 1: German Shepherd child mix, but there was no sign of
Speaker 1: Stephen or the other dog. The dog hastily led Stephen's
Speaker 1: parents and investigators to a pond, but according to official reports,
Speaker 1: nothing was found. The day after that, on February nineteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, the family's other dog, six month
Speaker 1: old German Shepherd puppy, was found a mile and a
Speaker 1: half away from Holly Street. How had a six month
Speaker 1: old puppy managed to survive the freezing temperatures and travel
Speaker 1: over a mile and a half away. Could this possibly
Speaker 1: be an indication that someone took Stephen and the dogs
Speaker 1: only to let them loose because they were making too
Speaker 1: much noise, or to throw off the investigation. Throughout the years,
Speaker 1: multiple searches have been performed for Stephen. In two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, authority searched Blue Creek and the pond near
Speaker 1: Harbor Haven ministries have found nothing. In two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: the search was conducted in a wooded area near the
Speaker 1: Southwestern Michigan Regional Airport, but again no trace of Stephen
Speaker 1: could be found. There was a reported sighting of Stephen
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, where a Winds called the
Speaker 1: FBI believed that a young man matching Steven's description was
Speaker 1: at the Midway Airport in Chicago. This sighting, unfortunately turned
Speaker 1: out to be a case of mistaken identity, and since
Speaker 1: then the cases remained cold with such little evidence all
Speaker 1: we are left with their theories. The Benton Township Police
Speaker 1: Department has said that they investigated the idea that Stephen
Speaker 1: ran away from home, as well as the idea that
Speaker 1: he was abducted. It does seem very unlikely, though, that
Speaker 1: Stephen ran away, especially on a cold February evening when
Speaker 1: he promised his parents he would be home in time
Speaker 1: for supper. The FBI stated in their report that Stephen
Speaker 1: was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has ties there, as
Speaker 1: well as Lectionington, Kentucky. It's also possible that Stephen died
Speaker 1: due to exposure or an accident on that evening, but
Speaker 1: without a body or evidence, all we can do is speculate.
Speaker 1: Stephen's family have never given up hope and are asking
Speaker 1: for the public's assistance in his case. Stephen earl Craft
Speaker 1: the second, also listed sometimes as Steven earl Craft Junior,
Speaker 1: was last seen on February fifteenth, two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: in the twenty one hundred block of Holly Drive in
Speaker 1: Ben Harbor, Michigan. Stephen is described as white male with
Speaker 1: light brown hair and green eyes. He is a small
Speaker 1: red birthmark on his left rib. At the time he
Speaker 1: went missing, he was around five foot one to five
Speaker 1: foot two inches tall and around one hundred pounds. Stephen
Speaker 1: was last seen wearing a white, tan and brown striped shirt,
Speaker 1: ten parachute fans, an Aukland, purple Charlotte hornet's jacket, and
Speaker 1: black lugs boots. If still live today, Stephen would be
Speaker 1: thirty two years old. Anyone with any information has urged
Speaker 1: to contact the Benton Township Police Department at two sixty
Speaker 1: nine nine two six A two two one and listen
Speaker 1: for the extension for Steven's tip line. Alternatively, you can
Speaker 1: contact the FBI's Saint Joseph, Michigan office on three one
Speaker 1: three nine sixty five two three two three number one.
Speaker 1: Shanna Boito, we will always love you no matter what.
Speaker 1: We will support you and help you. Just come home
Speaker 1: and we'll face everything together. We want you back home
Speaker 1: with us and to be a mother to your beautiful daughter.
Speaker 1: At the very least, call and let us know you're okay, So,
Speaker 1: reads a message from the father of missing twenty two
Speaker 1: year old Shannon Boyite. Her family describe her as a
Speaker 1: devoted mother and loving daughter and are desperate for answers
Speaker 1: as to what happened on that June day in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: On that day, Shanna left her home in Ship of
Speaker 1: Wall Falls, Wisconsin, and left a note for her parents
Speaker 1: telling them that she was going to be sent back
Speaker 1: to prison and needed to sort out a few things beforehand.
Speaker 1: The note also stated that she and her boyfriend were
Speaker 1: on their way to California so she could see the ocean.
Speaker 1: As far as we know, Shanna hopped into the car
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend and they began their trip from Wisconsin
Speaker 1: to California. Google Maps shows the two most common routes
Speaker 1: to California. The first route and the route that Shanna
Speaker 1: and her boyfriend are assumed to have taken. It drives
Speaker 1: through Minneapolis, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and then
Speaker 1: into California. The second most likely route goes through southern Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,
Speaker 1: and then into California. This route will become important later on.
Speaker 1: According to Shanna's family, her childhood had been normal and
Speaker 1: the trouble didn't start until she transitioned into her teenage years,
Speaker 1: when she began taking drugs and exhibiting signs of behavioral problems,
Speaker 1: and that's when things started to go downhill. That was
Speaker 1: until twenty fourteen, when she found out she was pregnant.
Speaker 1: This shock announcement spurred her on and she got on
Speaker 1: a path to sobriety and eventually got clean. Sadly, this
Speaker 1: sobriety only lasted for a little while, and shortly after
Speaker 1: she began using drugs again and was sent to prison
Speaker 1: on drug charges. Shanna was released on probation in ordered
Speaker 1: to serve house arrest following the birth of her daughter,
Speaker 1: which she completed without incident, according to her father. Naturally,
Speaker 1: after being under house arrest, Shannon was put on parole
Speaker 1: and assigned to parole offs. According to the Charlie Project,
Speaker 1: Shanna had been caught drinking in June twenty sixteen and
Speaker 1: had an outstanding warrant against her for parole violations. Shanna
Speaker 1: knew that the pro violation meant that she would likely
Speaker 1: be back behind bars, leading her to leave the note
Speaker 1: for her parents and take care of business before she
Speaker 1: found herself back in an orange jumpsuit. The details in
Speaker 1: Shanna's case became somewhat confusing from here on out. According
Speaker 1: to some reports, Shannon was last seen near Interstate ninety
Speaker 1: four and County Road seventy four in Saint Cloud, Minnesota
Speaker 1: on June twenty second, twenty sixteen. Now, as for Google Maps,
Speaker 1: two routes to California drive through or close to Minneapolis
Speaker 1: and then down either in the South Dakota or Ohio.
Speaker 1: What is really odd about this, though, is that Saint Cloud,
Speaker 1: Minnesota is sixty five miles north of Minneapolis and it's
Speaker 1: completely off route. There may be another route to California
Speaker 1: that would take you through or near this area, but
Speaker 1: no one knows why they might have taken this route.
Speaker 1: This is just a minor point found while researching that
Speaker 1: we wanted to bring up. Witnesses reported seeing Shanna and
Speaker 1: her boyfriend arguing with the car around the three PM
Speaker 1: and in the heat of the argument, it got out
Speaker 1: of the car and stormed off into the woods around
Speaker 1: the highway. It is unclear what Shanna and her boyfriend
Speaker 1: were arguing about, but her family did tell investigators that
Speaker 1: she was known to hitchhike. It is possible that she
Speaker 1: jumped into someone else's car to try and get to California.
Speaker 1: Another bizarre fact in Shanna's case is the fact that
Speaker 1: she apparently left home without her bag and didn't own
Speaker 1: a cellphone at the time. It's unclear on how the
Speaker 1: couple were planning on funding that trip to California and
Speaker 1: whether Shanna's boyfriend was going to pick up the tab.
Speaker 1: Shanna has no connections to Saint Cloud, Minnesota, and her
Speaker 1: family are now asking for the public's help. Shanna Boyto
Speaker 1: was last seen in Saint Cloud, Minnesota on June twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, as we mentioned, near Interstate ninety four in
Speaker 1: County Road seventy four. She's described as a white female
Speaker 1: with brown hair and brown eyes and has a tattoo
Speaker 1: of two sparrows on her hips and a tattoo of
Speaker 1: the name Millie with NOI behind her right ear. Jan
Speaker 1: also has a lip and belly button piercing and has
Speaker 1: stretched your lobes. Her Charlie Project profile reads Hoyito has
Speaker 1: a history of drug abuse. Caution is advised when approaching her.
Speaker 1: She was last seen wearing a tam Victoria's Secret tank
Speaker 1: top with a word pink on it, black leggings, and
Speaker 1: no shoes. Ball play is not suspected at this time
Speaker 1: in her case, and if you have any information regarding
Speaker 1: her whereabouts, you're asked to police. Contact the Chippewall Falls
Speaker 1: Police Department at seven one five seven two three four
Speaker 1: four two four. Well, friends, there you have it. What
Speaker 1: do you make of these five strange and creepy disappearances?
Speaker 1: Somewhere somebody knows something. People don't just vanish in the
Speaker 1: thin air. Thank you for listening, and we look forward
Speaker 1: to reading your comments. Pase, keep it friendly and respectful.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, be good to yourselves and each other.
Speaker 1: And I'll see you just a little farther on down
Speaker 1: the trail. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you
Speaker 1: next time. Hello friends, today bringing you part three of
Speaker 1: our unbelievably Bizarre and Creepy Disappearances series. These are some
Speaker 1: of the strangest disappearances we've come across in all our research,
Speaker 1: and let's begin Number five. Chance Engelbert, twenty five year
Speaker 1: old Chance Ingelbert, was last seen leaving the seven hundred
Speaker 1: block of O Street in Garrett, Nebraska, at around seven
Speaker 1: thirty pm on Saturday, July sixth, twenty nineteen. Chance, his
Speaker 1: wife Bailey, and their son Banks, who lived in Wyoming,
Speaker 1: had spent the sunny Saturday visiting Bailey's family, with articles
Speaker 1: reporting that they spent the day golfing. Chance had recently
Speaker 1: accepted a new job with a propane company after he
Speaker 1: had recently been laid off from his previous job at
Speaker 1: a coal mine. Bailey's family didn't seem to like this
Speaker 1: job move. Chance, his father in law, and other members
Speaker 1: of Bailey's family all began arguing. Bailey drove over to
Speaker 1: pick Chance up before heading to her grandparents' house to
Speaker 1: collect a few things. During the car ride, Chance became
Speaker 1: upset again and asked Bailey to drive him home, to
Speaker 1: which she said no. Chance then called up one of
Speaker 1: his friends for a ride home. Sadly for Chance, the
Speaker 1: friend wasn't able to help, so Chance left the seven
Speaker 1: hundred block of O Street and began to walk towards Torrington, Wyoming.
Speaker 1: According to Google Maps, if Chance was planning to walk
Speaker 1: the whole way, it would have taken him close to
Speaker 1: twelve hours on foot. There were two routes he could
Speaker 1: have taken if he was in a car, both ending
Speaker 1: up on the US twenty six w and taking around
Speaker 1: forty three minutes. Bailey told investigators that she last spoke
Speaker 1: to Chance on the phone at seven forty six pm,
Speaker 1: and he told her that he was walking south, whereas
Speaker 1: friends told investigators that they had spoken to Chance around
Speaker 1: the same time and he told him he was headed
Speaker 1: north towards Torrington, Wyoming. At nine oh eight pm, Chance's
Speaker 1: phone sent a final text that was just a string
Speaker 1: of emojis and numbers. Chance's mother, Dawn, said that Chance
Speaker 1: never used emojis and speculates that the text was sent
Speaker 1: by someone else. At nine pm that evening, a large
Speaker 1: thunderstorm rolled through the area, and Bailey and her family
Speaker 1: assumed that Chance had found shelter somewhere and would be
Speaker 1: in contact with him soon. Bailey's grandfather went out looking
Speaker 1: for Chance, but found no sign of the man. Bailey
Speaker 1: told in the NBC News, I still wasn't that worried.
Speaker 1: I figured he comes slinking in late that night, but
Speaker 1: he didn't. And when I I woke up the next
Speaker 1: morning and he wasn't there, I knew it was bad.
Speaker 1: Chance friends and family tried desperately to contact him, but
Speaker 1: his phone had been turned off shortly after nine oh
Speaker 1: eight pm when he had sent the cryptic text message.
Speaker 1: Realizing that something was wrong, Chance's family called the police
Speaker 1: and officially reported him missing. Investigators discovered that Chance's phone
Speaker 1: had last pecked off a tower on County Road nineteen
Speaker 1: near Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. They also found the CCTV footage
Speaker 1: showing Chance walking alone along the intersection of Terry Boulevard
Speaker 1: and Stable Club Road. After this sighting, he mysteriously vanished.
Speaker 1: Once Chance had been reported missing, the Gearing Police Department
Speaker 1: sprung into action and called in the help of eighteen agencies,
Speaker 1: including drones, divers, dogs, horseback riders, and one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty seven volunteers, who managed to cover twenty four hundred
Speaker 1: acres on foot. The Nebraska State Patrol helicopter team and
Speaker 1: Airlink managed to cover combined to three hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: miles during the search effort, but no sign of Chance
Speaker 1: could be found. Authorities were concerned for his well being
Speaker 1: as the rains on the evening the Chance disappeared were
Speaker 1: described as heavy and cold. In addition to the dangers
Speaker 1: of lightning, it was also postulated that Chance may have
Speaker 1: fallen into river or stream or suffered from hypothermia due
Speaker 1: to the weather conditions. Since that July day, Chance Ingelbert
Speaker 1: has never been seen or heard from again, and his
Speaker 1: family are desperate for answers. His mother made a plead
Speaker 1: a Chance, saying, please call somebody. You don't have to
Speaker 1: come home. We just want to know that you're safe.
Speaker 1: Our heart aches every day, every night. In the wake
Speaker 1: of chance disappearance, his mother, Dawn created the help Find
Speaker 1: Chase Ingelbert Facebook page that she uses to keep his
Speaker 1: case alive as well as the post updates. In early
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty one, and armbone and shirt were found
Speaker 1: near Malbetta, Nebraska, which is eight and a half miles
Speaker 1: south of where Chance was last seen. Has not yet
Speaker 1: been confirmed whether these belong to Chance, and DNA testing
Speaker 1: is currently under way. In a Facebook post on November two,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, chance mother Dawn wrote, We'd like to
Speaker 1: take a moment to thank you all for prayers, calls,
Speaker 1: and messages. Were aware of the news releases of remains
Speaker 1: found in Scott's Bluff County and have talked with officials.
Speaker 1: Until the DNA is released, there is not one hundred
Speaker 1: percent answer depends on the lab's workload and it could
Speaker 1: take weeks for those answers, So for now, please govern
Speaker 1: our family a little extra prayers. Thank you. Time will
Speaker 1: tell whether these remains belong to chase or where the
Speaker 1: family will have to keep on fighting for answers. Twenty
Speaker 1: five year old Chase Ingelberg was last seen on the

Speaker 1: eight number four. Sonny Shramik Eighteen year old Sonny Shramik
Speaker 1: left her home in Trent, Nebraska on April twentieth, twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and told her mother, follow Johnson, that she was going
Speaker 1: on a road trip with a male acquaintance. This person
Speaker 1: was not named in publications. However, a member of Sonny's
Speaker 1: family named him as forty two year old Floyd Clifford,
Speaker 1: coachs who goes by Cliff. The nature of her relationship
Speaker 1: is currently unknown. Sonny is married, However, the identity of
Speaker 1: Sonny's husband has been withheld from the public and her
Speaker 1: parents have not discussed this detail at length. One article
Speaker 1: notes her parents say she married young, believing it was
Speaker 1: a good choice, but went through more growing and trying
Speaker 1: to do things right, so it was currently living with
Speaker 1: her mother Paula to sort things out. Paula watched her
Speaker 1: daughter get into the two thousand and four white Ford
Speaker 1: Explorer with Iowa license plate HGJ three four one, and
Speaker 1: then watches her daughter and the unknown man drove away.
Speaker 1: Little did Paula know that this will be the last
Speaker 1: time she would ever see her daughter, who she described
Speaker 1: as bright and artistic. At around one pm on April twentieth,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Sonny called her mom, Paula, to let her
Speaker 1: know that everything was going well and that they were
Speaker 1: possibly headed for Omaha, Nebraska. The pair talked and Sonny
Speaker 1: told Paula that she was in Holdridge, Nebraska and that
Speaker 1: everything was good. The KSMB local article states that Sonny
Speaker 1: had called using a barred phone because she left hers
Speaker 1: at home before embarking on the trip. On the evening
Speaker 1: of April twentieth, twenty nineteen, Holla received a horrific phone call.
Speaker 1: On the other end of the line was Cliff Coates,
Speaker 1: who said that he had gone into the Prairie Flower
Speaker 1: Casino in Carter Lake, Iowa, and that when he stepped outside,
Speaker 1: Sonny was gone. NBC reported that Paula had written on
Speaker 1: the GoFundMe page that he said he had looked for
Speaker 1: couldn't find her, so he left. He left the area
Speaker 1: without Sonny. No call to the police, no nothing. At
Speaker 1: one point his story changed. They stopped at a gas
Speaker 1: station in Omaha and he went in to pay for
Speaker 1: the gas. When he returned to the vehicle, Sony was gone.
Speaker 1: On April twenty first, twenty nineteen, when Sonny had still
Speaker 1: failed to make contact with her parents, Paula and Jodie,
Speaker 1: she was officially reported missing and an investigation was open.
Speaker 1: An extensive search and Nebraska and Iowa took place, but
Speaker 1: there was no sign of Sonny. Because she was eighteen,
Speaker 1: she was too old for an Amber alert, but the
Speaker 1: authorities still did the best they could to publicize Sonny's case.
Speaker 1: Ours turned to days and Sunny's family became more and
Speaker 1: more desperate as each hour passed. Soon after she was
Speaker 1: reported missing, the FBI became involved in Sonny's case and
Speaker 1: are now asking for anyone with information to polease come forward.
Speaker 1: Sunny's family are also heavily involved in the search for
Speaker 1: their missing loved one. Her cousin Rinny Blom created the
Speaker 1: Fine Sunny Shramik Facebook page and regularly hands out flyers
Speaker 1: and leaflets across Nebraska. Interestingly enough, Cliff Coates has an
Speaker 1: extensive criminal history, and this is something that we couldn't
Speaker 1: pass up on. Mentioning Heavy dot Com wrote an article
Speaker 1: about Sonny's case and managed to dig up all of
Speaker 1: Cliff's prior convictions. Turns out that he has a criminal
Speaker 1: record in Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. In Kansas, he was
Speaker 1: charged for drug offenses and attempting to evade police. His
Speaker 1: prison record isn't squeaky clean either, having twenty five ride
Speaker 1: ups for battery, lying, disrespect of an officer, disobeying orders,
Speaker 1: and having sexually explicit material lips. Criminal history doesn't stop there.
Speaker 1: In Nebraska, he was convicted of false imprisonment, distribution of methamphetamine,
Speaker 1: possession of a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, assault
Speaker 1: by a confined person, theft by receiving stolen property, and
Speaker 1: possession of marijuana. On June tenth, twenty nineteen, Remy Blum
Speaker 1: posted again to the Facebook page find Sunny Schremik, saying
Speaker 1: I have a little info to share for my aunt.
Speaker 1: Here's the update. Coach was arrested recently but was bonded
Speaker 1: soon after. I'm hoping that they can learn something anything
Speaker 1: from him. At least he was found. I'm sharing this
Speaker 1: so y'all are aware, but as far as what happened
Speaker 1: prior to this or what he was arrested for, that
Speaker 1: is not being shared by the family. Investigators haven't publicly
Speaker 1: named Cliff as a suspect in Sonny's case, and despite
Speaker 1: all these leads and all this information, her case has
Speaker 1: sadly gone cold. Sonny's family are desperately seeking answers for
Speaker 1: what happened to her. She was in the process of
Speaker 1: finishing high school and it's extremely out of character for
Speaker 1: her to just have wandered off. Sonny's described as white
Speaker 1: female with brown hair and blue eyes. She's five foot
Speaker 1: seven inches tall, one hundred and eighty pounds and has
Speaker 1: numerous distinguishing features, which are as follows. Sony has a

Speaker 1: Matthew Weaver Junior, twenty one year old Matthew Weaver Junior
Speaker 1: was in a transitional period in his life. He had
Speaker 1: just moved into his own apartment in Granada Hills, California,
Speaker 1: to be closer to his job, and he had recently
Speaker 1: broken up with his long term girlfriend. The breakup affected Matthew,
Speaker 1: but as he had moved to a new area, he
Speaker 1: slowly began building up a new circle of friends and
Speaker 1: was back out there partying and hanging out. On August ninth,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Matthew spent the day working before going to
Speaker 1: hang out with a new female friend that he had made.
Speaker 1: According to his father, Matthew Weaver Senior, Matthew Junior appeared
Speaker 1: excited at the prospect of hanging out with his new
Speaker 1: friend and said that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: According to NBC, the pair hung out until the early
Speaker 1: morning hours of August tenth, with Matthew Junior dropping the
Speaker 1: woman off at her place around four thirty am. From there,
Speaker 1: Matthew Junior sent a text to his friend saying something
Speaker 1: crazy has happened, also adding I want to talk while
Speaker 1: I have the chance. Matthew Jr. Also Sent text to
Speaker 1: his ex stepmother Brook. The two remained close friends even
Speaker 1: when Matthew Junior's father and she divorced, as she had
Speaker 1: raised him from a young age. Brook claims that some
Speaker 1: of the tech extra jumbled and didn't make much sense
Speaker 1: at all. At around eleven thirty am, Matthew Jr. Then
Speaker 1: Caused the woman he was hanging out with the night before,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't answer because she's at work. She texts him,
Speaker 1: asking what's wrong and telling him that she is unable
Speaker 1: to answer right now. Matthew never replied to the text
Speaker 1: from Brook or the unknown woman, and since then he
Speaker 1: has mysteriously fallen off the map. Brooke told NBC that
Speaker 1: Matthew's phone is still linked to his ex girlfriend's account,
Speaker 1: so they were able to retrieve phone records relatively quickly.
Speaker 1: These records showed that Matthew Jr's location at the time
Speaker 1: of sending those texts was the Lost Rosa Overlook near
Speaker 1: Stunt and Saddle Peak Roads in the Santa Monica Mountains
Speaker 1: National Recreation Area. This was later confirmed when CCTV cameras
Speaker 1: in the area captured Matthew Junior's BMW driving along the
Speaker 1: road to Los Roses Overlook. When Brooke hadn't received a
Speaker 1: reply from her step son, she began to worry. She
Speaker 1: began calling all his friends to see if they had
Speaker 1: heard from him, but to her horror, no one had.
Speaker 1: Unbeknownst to Brook and Matthew Senior, the California Highway Patrol
Speaker 1: discovered Matthew Junior's car abandoned on the Topanga Tower Motorway
Speaker 1: close to the Los Roses overlooked. They chraced the car's
Speaker 1: registration and found that it belonged to Matthew Weaver Junior.
Speaker 1: After speaking with his family, they realized that he had
Speaker 1: not made contact with him since August eleventh. Subsequently, a
Speaker 1: missing person report was filed and Matthew Weaver Junior was
Speaker 1: officially listed as a missing person. Multiple searches have been
Speaker 1: conducted by multiple agencies, but no trace of Matthew has
Speaker 1: ever been found. Brooke told NBC, there is no way
Speaker 1: that kid just fell off the grid and disappeared. For me,
Speaker 1: that's not possible. I'm super close with Matthew. He tells
Speaker 1: me everything, He calls me anytime he's in a bind.
Speaker 1: He would never let his little siby sit there and
Speaker 1: think he might be dead. Then, in January twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: Hiker's discovered Matthew Junior's car keys just twenty five meters
Speaker 1: from where his car had been discovered. It's unknown where
Speaker 1: these keys were overlooked during the initial search, or whether
Speaker 1: they had been intentionally placed there at a later date.
Speaker 1: While out conducting his own search for his son, Matthew
Speaker 1: Senior discovered shreds of a white T shirt that he
Speaker 1: believes his son was wearing on the day he disappeared.
Speaker 1: A red Los Angeles Angels hat was also found, which
Speaker 1: Matthew Senior also said belonged to his son. The Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Police Department's Missing Persons Unit has since taken over
Speaker 1: Matthew's case. Matthew Weaver Jr. Is described as a white
Speaker 1: meal with brown hair and brown eyes. He's five foot
Speaker 1: nine inches tall and weighs one hundred and sixty five pounds.

Speaker 1: friends say that he sustained a head injury in the
Speaker 1: days before his disappearance, and then he may be concussed
Speaker 1: or have other behavior issues arriving from this. Matthew Junior
Speaker 1: was last seen wearing a plain black or white T shirt.

Speaker 1: three year old Erica Thompson had recently broken up from
Speaker 1: a two year relationship was now living alone with her
Speaker 1: cats in a Brookefield, Illinois home. Erica's sister, Dana, said
Speaker 1: that the pair regularly kept in contact with each other,
Speaker 1: and then Erica always kept in contact with her family.
Speaker 1: So when Erica failed to show up for work on
Speaker 1: September twenty sixth to twenty nineteen, her co workers noted
Speaker 1: that it was extremely out of character. Dana recalled that
Speaker 1: she had last spoken with her sister by email on
Speaker 1: September twenty third, twenty nineteen. Erica was captured on CCTV
Speaker 1: on September twenty fifth, twenty nineteen, making a deposit at
Speaker 1: a bank. She has not been seen or heard from
Speaker 1: since days passed, and Erica's family became more and more
Speaker 1: concerned when she didn't contact him. Finally, on October first,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Erica's son, Michael Russo, went to her Brookfield,
Speaker 1: Illinois home to see what was going on. Some reports
Speaker 1: state that Michael entered the house, while others state that
Speaker 1: the Brookfield Police Department were the ones who actually entered
Speaker 1: the home. Whoever entered the home found that the back
Speaker 1: door was open and that the air conditioning was running
Speaker 1: full blast, dirty moldy dishes in the sink, and cat
Speaker 1: vomit all over the house, something that Erica would never
Speaker 1: have tolerated. Her sister, Dana told Dateline it was caused
Speaker 1: for concern because my sister would never have left a mess.
Speaker 1: She would have washed her dishes and taken care of
Speaker 1: her cats. Investigators also found, interestingly enough, that recent CCTV
Speaker 1: footage from Erica's home security cameras have been deleted, only
Speaker 1: adding to their suspicions. Erica's phone bag, driver's license, house keys,
Speaker 1: and car keys, along with her twenty fourteen dark purple
Speaker 1: Nissan Juke Illinois plates E two seven three three eight
Speaker 1: zero were missing from the home, but her cats had
Speaker 1: been left behind. It's been said that Erica absolutely cherished
Speaker 1: her cats, and if she'd planned on leaving, she would
Speaker 1: have taken them with her. Because Erica's phone was missing,
Speaker 1: investigators trackted as far as they could and found that
Speaker 1: she had traveled through Brookfield, Decatur, and Mount Vermont on
Speaker 1: September twenty sixth, twenty nineteen. In addition to this, the
Speaker 1: phone had also pained in Countryside, Hodgkins, McCook, forest View, Summit,

Speaker 1: I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time. Hello, friends,
Speaker 1: Steve Stockton here with you. Welcome to our latest video.
Speaker 1: This offering is number four in our Creepy Cases Series. Now.
Speaker 1: While many of the cases we cover on the channel
Speaker 1: have at least some strange or weird ilness to them,
Speaker 1: these are some hand picked cases that we feel to
Speaker 1: be amongst the creepiest. Join us. First up, Marina Bolter.
Speaker 1: Eighteen year old Marina Bolter was doing everything within her
Speaker 1: power to get her life back on track in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: She had recently graduated high school by obtaining her ged
Speaker 1: and had plan to go to college to study to
Speaker 1: become a fastry chef. Things hadn't always been easy for Marina, though,
Speaker 1: and in early twenty fourteen, when she was just seventeen
Speaker 1: years old, she found out that she was pregnant with
Speaker 1: her first child. At the time, Marina was in an
Speaker 1: on off relationship with DJ Lockhart, and the two did
Speaker 1: their best to make the relationship work, although this wasn't
Speaker 1: always possible. When Marina's newborn son was just four months old,
Speaker 1: he was taken into care after an altercation saw the
Speaker 1: baby receive a head injury. According to reports, Marina's son
Speaker 1: was struck when Faith, Marina's sister, and Faith's boyfriend, were
Speaker 1: arguing and fighting in their Bloomfield, Indiana home. This event
Speaker 1: enraged Marina understandably, and after that she refused to talk
Speaker 1: to her sister and distance herself from her family. On
Speaker 1: her father's side, after a child had been taken into care,
Speaker 1: Marina was determined to get him back. She started working
Speaker 1: at the Delhi counter, the local IgA grocery store off
Speaker 1: South Highway two thirty one, and had recently moved into
Speaker 1: her own apartment to show social services that she was
Speaker 1: more than capable of taking care of her baby. What
Speaker 1: social services didn't know was that Marina had moved into
Speaker 1: the apartment with the help of a much older man, Toby,
Speaker 1: whom she had been having an affair with. Not only
Speaker 1: was Toby much older than Marina, but he was in
Speaker 1: fact married, and Toby knew Marina as he was a
Speaker 1: friend of the family. While the affair was taking place,
Speaker 1: Marina maintained her on off relationship with dj, the father
Speaker 1: of her child. Their relationship was described as rocky at best,
Speaker 1: but Marina felt that there was a genuine connection between
Speaker 1: them and that one day they might finally settle their
Speaker 1: differences and be a proper couple again and raise their child.
Speaker 1: In December of twenty fourteen, things were starting to look
Speaker 1: up for Marina. She was doing well at her job
Speaker 1: and the prospect of college admission was drawing ever closer.
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve quickly rolled around, and what should have
Speaker 1: been a night of celebration turned into a living nightmare
Speaker 1: for the Bolter family. On December thirty, twenty fourteen, New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, Marina went about her day as usual, finishing
Speaker 1: up her shift at the IG Grocery store at around
Speaker 1: six pm. As she was leaving work, she ran into DJ,
Speaker 1: who asked her to attend a New Year's party with him.
Speaker 1: Knowing she had to work the next day, she politely declined.
Speaker 1: DJ made several attempts to convince Marina to attend the
Speaker 1: party with him, but she was having none of it.
Speaker 1: According to DJ, after the two had finished their conversation,
Speaker 1: he watched her walk across to the Sunoco gas station
Speaker 1: close to the IgA Grocery store and get it to
Speaker 1: a car with the middle aged man. The man was
Speaker 1: described as white in his forties or fifties with glasses,
Speaker 1: and he drove either a Silver Major Gold Mercury Milan
Speaker 1: year two thousand and nine to twenty eleven with multi
Speaker 1: spoke rims, a spoiler and a bluetooth or a shark
Speaker 1: fin antenna on top. Witnesses would later confirm that the
Speaker 1: man in the car was indeed a regular customer at
Speaker 1: the IgA Grocery store, and when questioned, this unnamed man
Speaker 1: claimed that he dropped Marina at a closed pizza shop
Speaker 1: near her apartment before driving away. He told investigators that
Speaker 1: he had dropped her off at the pizza shop because
Speaker 1: Marina didn't want him to know her full address. While
Speaker 1: this story seemed sketchy, Marina's mother later confirmed that this
Speaker 1: sounded like something her daughter would indeed do in order
Speaker 1: to keep herself safe. As the clock ticked down to
Speaker 1: midnight and everyone was celebrating the coming of the new year,
Speaker 1: nobody had any idea that Marina hadn't yet made it
Speaker 1: home that night. It wasn't until the next morning, when
Speaker 1: she failed to shortt for work, that the alarm was raised.
Speaker 1: This was extremely out of character from Marina, and her
Speaker 1: boss at the IgA Grocery store immediately called her mother, Tressie,
Speaker 1: to make sure that everything was okay. Tressie knew immediately
Speaker 1: that something was terribly wrong and jumped into her car,
Speaker 1: racing over to Marina's apartment. As she approached the apartment,
Speaker 1: she noticed that the door was locked, there was no
Speaker 1: sign of a struggle, and Marina's phone in purse were missing.
Speaker 1: Marina's apartment gave no clues as to her whereabouts, and
Speaker 1: in a panic, Tressie called the Bloomfield Police Department report
Speaker 1: her daughter mist Within minutes, the Bloomfield Police Department had
Speaker 1: descended upon Marina's apartment and a missing person investigation was underway.
Speaker 1: Investigators were able to track Marina's phone and found that
Speaker 1: it had last pained at an unreleased location ten minutes
Speaker 1: after she had left work. Investigators have not released any
Speaker 1: further information about this location because of their pending investigation.
Speaker 1: During the search of Marina's apartment, investigators failed to find
Speaker 1: her work clothes, which suggested that she hadn't returned her
Speaker 1: apartment at all that evening, So now they were faced
Speaker 1: with a question where is Marina. They spoke with DJ
Speaker 1: who relayed the story about Marina getting into a car
Speaker 1: with a middle aged man, and it took three weeks
Speaker 1: for the manning question to come forward and talk to investigators.
Speaker 1: According to news reports, this unnamed man has previous convictions
Speaker 1: for abduction along with other crimes too graphic to mention here,
Speaker 1: although he was officially ruled out as a suspect by
Speaker 1: police during the initial investigation. During their investigation, the Bloomfield
Speaker 1: Police also learned that Marine had been on the phone
Speaker 1: with Toby as she was leaving work on New Year's Eve,
Speaker 1: and that he was hosting a New Year's party that
Speaker 1: he tried to persuade her to attend. During her phone call,
Speaker 1: Marina allegedly said, oh shit, it's DJ before hanging up
Speaker 1: the phone. Once news got out that Marina was missing,
Speaker 1: Toby refused to speak to Tracy and only cooperative Marina's
Speaker 1: father and his side of the family. It is bizarre
Speaker 1: that Toby sided with Marina's father's side of the family,
Speaker 1: as Marina herself was estranged from them. It later transpired
Speaker 1: that Traci had called Toby's wife to speak to her
Speaker 1: about the affair and discovered that Toby's wife had no
Speaker 1: idea and that she had only found out because Tracie
Speaker 1: had phoned her. Was Toby angry that Tressi had tipped
Speaker 1: off his wife about his affair, or was he siding
Speaker 1: with Marina's father to cover his own guilt. Marina's father
Speaker 1: and that side of The family firmly believed that DJ
Speaker 1: is responsible for Marina's disappearance and maintained to this day
Speaker 1: that he had something to do with it. DJ was
Speaker 1: subjected to polygraphing passed, but just weeks after Marina disappeared,
Speaker 1: another tragedy would strike. On February twelve, twenty fifteen, DJ
Speaker 1: died following an altercation in a bar with a man
Speaker 1: by the name of Michael Rogers. Rogers was not charged,
Speaker 1: as investigators deemed it to be an act of self defense,
Speaker 1: but any knowledge that DJ had about Marina was now
Speaker 1: taken with him to the grave. There's also another person
Speaker 1: to consider in Marina's case, and that is an ex
Speaker 1: felon who was convicted of a horrific crime against the
Speaker 1: young girl. This ex fellon lived in Marina's apartment block,
Speaker 1: and the Bloomfield Police have said that they do not
Speaker 1: consider him a suspect. While researching Marina's case, very few
Speaker 1: articles came up in regards to this man, and it
Speaker 1: is hard to discern the truth about him. In an
Speaker 1: interview for NBC News, Ashley Bolter, Marina's sister in law, said,
Speaker 1: who really knows if what he DJ saw happen but
Speaker 1: either way she disappeared. There are several theories, but all
Speaker 1: we know is someone out there knows what happened when
Speaker 1: she left that store. It's like nine out of ten
Speaker 1: days you're fine. You just push on. Then that tenth
Speaker 1: day comes and you collapse. The biggest thing is that
Speaker 1: she's a mother. The least we want is answers so
Speaker 1: that one day we can give her little boy the
Speaker 1: information he deserves. Marina Bolter was last seen on December
Speaker 1: thirty first, twenty fourteen, as described as a white female
Speaker 1: with blonde hair and blue eyes. Both of her ears appierced,
Speaker 1: and she has a tattoo of star with butterfly wings
Speaker 1: on her foot. She was last seen wearing a black
Speaker 1: and purple plaid pea coat, jeans with rhinestones on the back,
Speaker 1: pockets ink and white Nike shocked shoes with a purple
Speaker 1: swosh outlined in black, and a cross necklace. The Charlie
Speaker 1: Project also mentions that she was carrying a bag with
Speaker 1: love written on the side. Anyone with any information whatsoever
Speaker 1: because as to police, contact the Bloomfield Police Department on
Speaker 1: eight one two three three two four four one one
Speaker 1: for the Indiana State Police on eight one two three
Speaker 1: eight four four four one one Next up. Christina Bastian.
Speaker 1: Thirty four year old Christina Bastian worked as an English
Speaker 1: teacher at Silverado High School in Apple Valley, California in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, and was well liked for her students and
Speaker 1: those in her community. In recent years, Christina had been
Speaker 1: diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was working with doctors and
Speaker 1: mental health professionals to help manage her condition. She had
Speaker 1: been prescribed medication, which she had stopped in the months
Speaker 1: before she disappeared. Sources state that Christina came off for
Speaker 1: medication after counseling her doctor and began telling family and
Speaker 1: friends that God had healed there. When she first came
Speaker 1: off to medication, she seemed as though she was doing well. However,
Speaker 1: this slowly changed, and just days before she was last seen,
Speaker 1: Christina's mood and personality dramatic shifted. In late October of
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, Christina began exhibiting bizarre behavior, telling her friends
Speaker 1: and family that someone had broken into her apartment and
Speaker 1: that someone was watching her and following her every move.
Speaker 1: Christina was inconsolable, despite her friends and family trying to
Speaker 1: reassure that everything was okay. In an attempt to make
Speaker 1: her feel safe, friends and family allowed her to stay
Speaker 1: with him for a few days, promising her that everything
Speaker 1: would be all right. However, Christina's behavior only worsened over
Speaker 1: the coming days, and the day before she disappeared, she
Speaker 1: drove from Apple Valley, California, to Phoenix, Arizona, for reasons
Speaker 1: that are unknown. According to Christina's mother, Cheryl, she received
Speaker 1: a phone call from her daughter telling her that she
Speaker 1: was in Phoenix. Reports indicate that after this, Christina took
Speaker 1: the SIM card out of her phone and then smashed
Speaker 1: the phone to bits. On the day before disappearance, Christina
Speaker 1: also spoke to her brother in law and cryptically told
Speaker 1: him I don't want to be Christina Bastian anymore. This
Speaker 1: chilling statement was a premonition of what was to come,
Speaker 1: and Christina also told him that she wanted to disappear
Speaker 1: of the next day. This premonition, if that's what it was,
Speaker 1: had come true, and Christina was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: On November one, twenty fifteen, Christina arrived at a friend's
Speaker 1: house in Apple Valley. After the two agreed that Christina
Speaker 1: could stay the night This wasn't unusual for Christina, and
Speaker 1: in the previous weeks she'd been overly paranoid that someone
Speaker 1: had broken into her apartment and that someone was trying
Speaker 1: to get her. She brought with her some valuable items
Speaker 1: as well as everyday items such as her bag, purse,
Speaker 1: and glasses, along with her blood dog, Coco. The full
Speaker 1: details of what happened that night have never been released,
Speaker 1: but according to the Charlie Project, Christina left her friend's
Speaker 1: house at around one forty five am after becoming upset.
Speaker 1: It is unknown whether the two had actual disagreement, for
Speaker 1: whether Christina's paranoia and altered mintal estate took over. According
Speaker 1: to the friend, Christina jumped into her silver two door
Speaker 1: Dodge rammed fifteen hundred pickup and drove away into the night.
Speaker 1: Her friend hoped that Christina would return after taking a
Speaker 1: short drive to clear her head, but as the sun rose,
Speaker 1: there was no sign of Christina. That same night, forty
Speaker 1: six miles away on Highway to forty seven near Bodic
Speaker 1: Road in Johnson Valley, California, the California Highway Patrol found
Speaker 1: some of Christina's personal items scattered on the side of
Speaker 1: the highway. It wasn't until the next morning that her
Speaker 1: car was found abandoned a further thirty seven miles away
Speaker 1: near Valleyview Road in twenty nine Palms. Highway investigators who
Speaker 1: discovered the car noted that it was covered in dense
Speaker 1: and scrapes, almost as if it had been driven through
Speaker 1: rocky terrain. Christina's family held their collective breath as the
Speaker 1: news of the discovery of her car was relayed to them,
Speaker 1: but as the investigators went through the details, they realized
Speaker 1: that there was still no sign of Christina. Their concern
Speaker 1: grew as the hours passed, knowing that she was in
Speaker 1: an altered state of mind, with no car, no wallet,
Speaker 1: no id, and no glasses as she had left all
Speaker 1: these items behind at her friend's house the night before.
Speaker 1: Also on November first, twenty fifteen, Christina's blood dog, Coco,
Speaker 1: was found wandering in Apple Valley on the side of
Speaker 1: Highway eighteen. The kind stranger took Coco in and put
Speaker 1: up flyers and posters appealing for the owner to come forward.
Speaker 1: Christina's family were alerted to this and chose for Coco
Speaker 1: to remain in the woman's care while they searched for Christina.
Speaker 1: As the days went on. Search for Christina continued, with
Speaker 1: local police forces and volunteers turning out in droves to
Speaker 1: look for so sadly, no sign of her was to
Speaker 1: be found. It wasn't until eleven days later that a
Speaker 1: horrific discovery was made near Bear Valley Road in Apple Valley.
Speaker 1: The area is described as being a dirt road and
Speaker 1: the location of discovery only added to the fears of
Speaker 1: the investigators and Christina's family. On the side of this
Speaker 1: dirt road, a passerby noticed a discarded backpack and von
Speaker 1: opening it, they found medication, money, and photographs that all
Speaker 1: belonged to Christina. This discovery was called into the Apple
Speaker 1: Valley pd who used k nines and helicopters to search
Speaker 1: the area, but sadly, no other clues were to be found.
Speaker 1: Cheryl Christina's mother please that her daughter may be in
Speaker 1: Yucca Valley for the surrounding area and is homeless or
Speaker 1: living a transient lifestyle. In a Facebook post to the
Speaker 1: page helped find Christina Bastian in July twenty eighteen, Cheryl wrote,
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, a young, well kept, homeless
Speaker 1: man identified Christina by name from a picture he was
Speaker 1: in front of the Walmart in Yuca Valley, California. I
Speaker 1: believe she is there. If you see her, please snap
Speaker 1: a picture and send it to me. I miss her
Speaker 1: more than words can express. According to other posts made
Speaker 1: on this page, Cheryl has received several emails and tips
Speaker 1: from people in California and beyond who believe that they
Speaker 1: have seen Christie panhandling and begging for change. Christina bas
Speaker 1: John was last seen on November first, twenty fifteen, in
Speaker 1: Apple Valley, California. She's described as a white female with
Speaker 1: red hair, brown eyes, five foot six inches tall and
Speaker 1: weighs about one hundred and seventy pounds. Christina's ears and
Speaker 1: cartilage are pierced. She has a scar on her thumb,
Speaker 1: a scar on her right eyebrow, and a tattoo of
Speaker 1: a cherry blossom with Chinese writing on her left ankle
Speaker 1: and foot. She also needs glasses to see, however, these
Speaker 1: were left behind at the time for disappearance. Cheryl told
Speaker 1: the media that without her glasses, Christina can only see
Speaker 1: about six inches in front of her, and all she
Speaker 1: had was at the time of her disappearance was a
Speaker 1: pair of contacts she was wearing. Christina was diagnosed with
Speaker 1: bipolar disorder and requires medication for her condition. However, she
Speaker 1: had stopped taking these months before she disappeared, apparently with
Speaker 1: her doctor's permission. According to her, anyone with any information
Speaker 1: is asked to contact the SANDBOURNEO Sheriff's Department at nine
Speaker 1: zero nine three eight seven three six nine zero or
Speaker 1: the Apple Valley PD at seven six zero two four
Speaker 1: zero seven to four zero zero. Next, we have Kaya Taylor.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight year old Kaya Taylor has been described by
Speaker 1: friends and family as a lively, warm, and affectionate person
Speaker 1: who would go out of her way to help those
Speaker 1: in need. At the time of her disappearance, Kaya was
Speaker 1: living in Plant City, Florida, with her boyfriend, although some
Speaker 1: reports state that she was CouchSurfing and staying with friends.
Speaker 1: Ky's family have created the Facebook page Finding Kaya in
Speaker 1: an attempt to gather as much information as possible and
Speaker 1: spread the word about her disappearance. Her family has also
Speaker 1: been very vocal about the lack of progress made in
Speaker 1: her case. In August of twenty twenty, her family made
Speaker 1: a post of the Facebook page laying out the facts
Speaker 1: of Kaya's case and asking anyone with information to contact
Speaker 1: the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office. Kaya Taylor was last seen
Speaker 1: at around four pm on February sixth, twenty twenty, dropping
Speaker 1: her boyfriend off at his friend's house located off Cawrot
Speaker 1: and Trapnell Road in Plant City, Florida. According to her boyfriend,
Speaker 1: his friend, and his friend's father, they also kayat dropping
Speaker 1: off her boyfriend before leaving to make her way to Lakeland,
Speaker 1: where she was due to stay with a friend. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Kaya had never arrived at her friend's house in Lakeland,
Speaker 1: and this friend informed her boyfriend that she had never
Speaker 1: shown up. Days later, just three hours after Kaya was
Speaker 1: last seen, her car was discovered abandoned on the railway
Speaker 1: tracks on Trapnel Road. Guy's family has stated that this
Speaker 1: railway was out of use and maintenance works were being
Speaker 1: carried out on the tracks. The concerned citizen noticed the
Speaker 1: car and called the police to alert them to the
Speaker 1: situation and get it moved. Plant City Police department arrived
Speaker 1: at the scene and found that Kaya's car was still running,
Speaker 1: the windows open facing northbound, and that her phone was
Speaker 1: on the floor of the vehicle. Oddly, instead of running
Speaker 1: her plates, the officer who attended the scene got into
Speaker 1: Kaya's car moved it to the side of the railway tracks.
Speaker 1: For another three days, Kaya's carr sat at the edge
Speaker 1: of these tracks until her boyfriend's mother saw it sitting there.
Speaker 1: She went over to her son's house to let him
Speaker 1: know what was going on, and he told his mother
Speaker 1: that Kaya was supposed to be in Lakeland, so he
Speaker 1: couldn't understand why her car had been abandoned where it
Speaker 1: was during the wars. Kaya's boyfriend called a friend in Lakeland,
Speaker 1: who confirmed that she had never arrived. After this, Kaya's
Speaker 1: boyfriend called her mother to let her know that her
Speaker 1: daughter hadn't been seen since February sixth, and that her
Speaker 1: car had been abandoned. After being notified that her daughter
Speaker 1: had gone missing, Kaya's mother went to collect her car
Speaker 1: that had been left at the side of the railroad tracks.
Speaker 1: Inside the car, she found Kaya's phone and wallet. This
Speaker 1: sent alarm bells ringing, and Kaya's mother called the Hillsborough
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office to report her daughter missing. Four days
Speaker 1: after she was last seen, Kaya Taylor was officially listed
Speaker 1: as a missing person and an investigation was opened. In
Speaker 1: the days following Kaya's disappearance, friends, family, and members of
Speaker 1: the local community gathered to help canvass the area and
Speaker 1: aid the police in their search for her. The police
Speaker 1: used sent dogs, helicopters as health officers on the ground,
Speaker 1: all calling to the area looking for Kaya. A forensic
Speaker 1: examination was conducted on Kaya's car, however, this yielded no results.
Speaker 1: Kaya's family remained strong, canvassing the area, putting up flyers
Speaker 1: and talking to residents who may have seen something. They
Speaker 1: also held a vigil to help bring awareness to Kaia's disappearance,
Speaker 1: but despite the media coverage and attention, no one came
Speaker 1: forward with any information. The first clue didn't come until
Speaker 1: February twenty sixth, twenty twenty, twenty days after Kya had
Speaker 1: last been seen. According to the Facebook post made ma
Speaker 1: Kaya's family, twenty days after Kaya's disappearance, on February twenty
Speaker 1: six her shoes were found located not too far from
Speaker 1: her car, next to a light pole that had her
Speaker 1: picture on it attached to a missing person's flyer. Family friends,
Speaker 1: and police officers searched the seria prior and the shoes
Speaker 1: were not there. It's as if someone placed them there.
Speaker 1: Another posling clue that was uncovered during the investigation was
Speaker 1: Kaya's last text to her boyfriend, which read, so you
Speaker 1: were going to send your white supremaist friends to take
Speaker 1: care of me. A post written for The Bear Press
Speaker 1: mentioned that Kaya is biracial and that her boyfriend social
Speaker 1: media was filled with posts of the Confederate flag and
Speaker 1: other racist propaganda. Guy's mother also confirmed to people dot
Speaker 1: Com that Kaya had recently fallen in with a bad
Speaker 1: crowd and had possibly been experimenting with drugs. Since Kaya's
Speaker 1: shoes were discovered in February twenty twenty, her case has
Speaker 1: gone cold. Despite the best efforts of her family to
Speaker 1: keep her name in the media, Kaya Taylor remains missing
Speaker 1: and her family are offering a ten thousand dollars reward
Speaker 1: for any information that leads to her whereabouts. We'd also
Speaker 1: like to mention that Guy's boyfriend has not been named publicly,
Speaker 1: and the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office have stated that he
Speaker 1: is not a suspect in kayak disappearance. Kaya Taylor was
Speaker 1: last seen on February sixth, twenty twenty, and is described
Speaker 1: as a biracial African American white mix female, five foot
Speaker 1: six inches tall and one hundred and seventy pounds with
Speaker 1: auburn red hair and brown eyes. Guya has multiple tattoos,
Speaker 1: an Infinity symbol on her left upper chest, two exes
Speaker 1: with the rows on the back of her shoulder, a
Speaker 1: rose on the inside of her forearm, son on her
Speaker 1: upper right thigh, and a ladybird on her left calf.
Speaker 1: She was last seen wearing a blue, gray, red and
Speaker 1: white striped short sleeved mini dress, tan knee high boots,
Speaker 1: and possibly a pink cardigan. Anyone with any information is
Speaker 1: urged to please contact the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office at
Speaker 1: eight one three two four seven eight two zero zero. Next,
Speaker 1: we have Jake Latios. Twenty two year old Jake Latios
Speaker 1: was last seen on the Interstate ten bridge over the
Speaker 1: Mississippi River in Baton Rouge on August twenty ninth, twenty
Speaker 1: four team, at around two am. A passer by told
Speaker 1: investigators they had spoke to Jake at around two am
Speaker 1: as he was sitting next to his pickup truck on
Speaker 1: the bridge. Jake informed the stranger that he was on
Speaker 1: his way to West Baton Rouge, but sadly, Jake never
Speaker 1: made it there. A few hours later, the Baton Rouge
Speaker 1: Police Department received a bizarre call that kick started the
Speaker 1: search for Jake. In the early morning hours of August
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, the Baton Rouge Police Department were
Speaker 1: called to the Interstate ten Bridge when an anonymous caller
Speaker 1: reported seeing a person jump from the bridge into the
Speaker 1: waters below. Person calling did not want to give their
Speaker 1: identity and it appears they were not at the scene
Speaker 1: when the police arrived. The Baton Rouge Police took this
Speaker 1: call very seriously and dispatched officers to the scene. However,
Speaker 1: when they arrived, they couldn't find anything. They looked into
Speaker 1: the water below, but saw no sign of anyone having jumped.
Speaker 1: A dive team was called to the area to recover
Speaker 1: any remains or rescue the person, but again the dive
Speaker 1: team found nothing. What the Baton Rouge Police Department did
Speaker 1: find was Jake's pickup truck, still running abandoned on the
Speaker 1: side of the road. Inside the vehicle were Jack's pham
Speaker 1: cigarettes and a trolling motor that he had just purchased,
Speaker 1: but his wallet and crutches that he was using at
Speaker 1: the time were nowhere to be found. At the time
Speaker 1: of his disappearance. Jake had a broken foot and right hand,
Speaker 1: and was wearing an orthopedic boot as well as using
Speaker 1: crutches to get around. His crutches weren't recovered from the
Speaker 1: bridge nor the water, leaving authorities with more questions than answers.
Speaker 1: Jake's mother, Tina Leclerk, told NBC, if he jumped off
Speaker 1: the bridge, his crutches would have been found. They would
Speaker 1: have been left in his room by a truck on
Speaker 1: the bridge floating in the water. Jake's case only became
Speaker 1: more bizarre when his mother, Tina, visited his apartment after
Speaker 1: the Baton Rouge Police Department contacted her to let her
Speaker 1: know that his truck had been found abandoned on the
Speaker 1: side of the bridge. She told NBC when I got there,
Speaker 1: it automatically seemed suspicious. A window was punched out, there
Speaker 1: were holes in the wall. His personal items were missing,
Speaker 1: including his TV set. Just everything was a mess. Several
Speaker 1: years had passed since Jake disappeared, and sadly, the Baton
Speaker 1: Rouge Police Department are still no closer to solving his case.
Speaker 1: According to a Facebook post made to the Help Find
Speaker 1: Missing Jake Allen Lattio's page in August twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: His crutches were located much later at an undisclosed time
Speaker 1: and location, but no further information has been provided about
Speaker 1: this fact. His mother, Tina, believes that Jake met with
Speaker 1: foul play and that someone staged to look like he
Speaker 1: took his own life. Tina said she's ready for whatever
Speaker 1: outcome and just wants to know the truth of what
Speaker 1: happened to her son. Twenty two year old Jake Lattios
Speaker 1: was last seen on August twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, on
Speaker 1: the Interstate ten bridge and Baton Rouge. He's described as
Speaker 1: a white male with brown hair brown eyes, stands approximately
Speaker 1: five foot nine inches tall and weighs between one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty one hundred and fifty pounds. Jake has a
Speaker 1: cross shaped scar on his left wrist and at the
Speaker 1: time of his disappearance he had a broken foot, a
Speaker 1: broken right hand, was using an orthopedic boot and crutches.
Speaker 1: Anyone with any information has urged police contact the atten
Speaker 1: Rog's Police department at two two five, three eight nine,
Speaker 1: four six one seven and finally, Audrey may Heron, thirty
Speaker 1: one year old Audrey may Heron was a devoted mother
Speaker 1: of three and a nurse living in Catskill, New York
Speaker 1: at the time of her disappearance. When Audrey was just
Speaker 1: twenty two, she gave birth to her first child, Soncia,
Speaker 1: and with the help of her parents, continued her studies
Speaker 1: and eventually became a full time nurse at a nearby
Speaker 1: nursing home. Audrey later went on to marry Jeff Herron,
Speaker 1: and the couple had two more children, Katie and Quinn.
Speaker 1: The blended family quickly meshed together, with Sonsia telling true
Speaker 1: crime daily. Even though I wasn't his child, he still
Speaker 1: considered me his daughter and I called him Dad. For
Speaker 1: the herons was going smoothly. Two thousand and two, Sansey
Speaker 1: was ten years old, and a few days before, at
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend, she had just returned to her cat's
Speaker 1: go home from Florida, where she'd spent the last month
Speaker 1: with her grandmother, Shirley, which was Audrey's mother. Shirley revealed
Speaker 1: that Audrey had just been given a raise at work
Speaker 1: and was excited to see her daughter after she'd been
Speaker 1: away for so long. Audrey's shifts are working until eleven
Speaker 1: pm at night, and Shirley agreed that this would be
Speaker 1: far too late for to pick Sancia from her home.
Speaker 1: Sanse stayed the night at her grandmother's house, waiting eagerly
Speaker 1: for her mother to come and pick her up on
Speaker 1: the morning of August thirtieth, two thousand and two, but sadly,
Speaker 1: that knock at the door and the familiar shout of
Speaker 1: Sansey's name never came. Shirley told Dateline, I called Audrey
Speaker 1: and she said she had a doctor's appointment the next morning,
Speaker 1: but she would pick Sanzy up after that. Shirley was
Speaker 1: surprised when the phone rang at six am the next
Speaker 1: morning and she heard Jeff on the other end of
Speaker 1: the poem asking if she had seen Audrey. She told
Speaker 1: MBC Jeff called and asked if Audrey was at my house.
Speaker 1: It would not have been unusual for her to stay
Speaker 1: over with me, but normally she would have called him
Speaker 1: to let him know. I said she wasn't here, but
Speaker 1: I didn't think anything of it, so I dozed back off.
Speaker 1: Shirley's slumber was interrupted an hour later by another phone
Speaker 1: call from Jeff. This time he sounded more panic. He
Speaker 1: told Shirley that Audrey hadn't returned home from work the
Speaker 1: previous evening. According to Shirley, she relayed this information to
Speaker 1: a family member who used to work in law enforcement,
Speaker 1: who in turn reported Audrey's missing. A wide scale search began,
Speaker 1: and the local police, along with Audrey's family, began canvassing
Speaker 1: the area. During their investigation, the New York State Police
Speaker 1: came across CCTV footage They confirmed Audrey left work on
Speaker 1: the evening of August twenty ninth, two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: in her black nineteen ninety nine jeep Grand Cherokee. New
Speaker 1: York State Police Detective Kaminski said, we only we have
Speaker 1: one graining video from Cumberland Farms in which it appears
Speaker 1: that Audrey's vehicle does leave her place of employment and
Speaker 1: basically turned left going west on County Route twenty three B.
Speaker 1: That's the last of any kind of technology we had.
Speaker 1: We can't confirm it's the vehicle because of the quality
Speaker 1: of the video, but it appears to be. The quality
Speaker 1: of the video was very poor and very grainy, but
Speaker 1: it does appear to leave at the time she would
Speaker 1: have ended work. Armed with this new piece of information,
Speaker 1: investigators began searching bodies of water in any other areas
Speaker 1: that Audrey may have ended up but came up with nothing.
Speaker 1: There was no activity on her phone, credit or debit
Speaker 1: cards since August twenty nine, two thousand and two, and
Speaker 1: the investigation quickly went cold. Tips and leads have been
Speaker 1: followed to their end, and almost twenty years later, we're
Speaker 1: still asking the question where is Audrey Herron Jeff, Audrey's husband,
Speaker 1: has been described as uncooperative for the New York State Police.
Speaker 1: He has voluntarily undergone a polygraph test, and his property
Speaker 1: has been searched extensively. Nothing was found in connection with
Speaker 1: Audrey's disappearance. The New York State Police have said that
Speaker 1: Jeff is not considered a suspect, but that they are
Speaker 1: considering her case a homicide rather than a missing person case.
Speaker 1: Audrey was last seen leaving her workplace on August twenty ninth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, in her black nineteen ninety four
Speaker 1: Jeep Grand Cherokee New York license plate X two three
Speaker 1: three u V. Audrey is described as a white female
Speaker 1: with dark blonde to light brown hair, hazel eyes. She
Speaker 1: stands five foot tall and weighs one hundred and five pounds.
Speaker 1: Audrey has a scar on her right thumb and a
Speaker 1: mole on the inside of her right knee. She was
Speaker 1: last seen wearing a blue turtleneck, dark green medical scrubs,
Speaker 1: a yellow gold necklace with dependence that says number one mom,
Speaker 1: and a watch with a white leather band and a
Speaker 1: white metal face. Anyone with any information is as to

Speaker 1: there you have it. What do you think of these
Speaker 1: creepy cases? Somewhere somebody knows the truth. Hopefully the day
Speaker 1: will come when all these cases can be solved and
Speaker 1: the families can have the closure that they deserve. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. Look forward to your comments, but please
Speaker 1: keep it friendly and respectful. Meanwhile, be good to yourselves
Speaker 1: and each other. Be careful out there, and I'll see
Speaker 1: you a little farther on down the trail. I'm Steve
Speaker 1: Stockton and I'll talk to you next time. Hello friends.
Speaker 1: This is episode number five in our Creepy Cases series.
Speaker 1: Although many of the cases we cover the channel have
Speaker 1: at least some bizarre, strange gentlemen to them, these are
Speaker 1: five more hand pick cases that we feel have the
Speaker 1: highest creep factor. Join us. Number five Maryland Bergeron. Twenty
Speaker 1: four year old Marilyn Bergon was once a happy and
Speaker 1: positive young woman, but in late two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: her family noticed a troubling change in her. Her outlook
Speaker 1: had changed for a positive one to a gloomy one,
Speaker 1: and it was clear that something was bothering her. She
Speaker 1: was often tearful and told her mother that she didn't
Speaker 1: have healthy relationships, but did not disclose exactly what the
Speaker 1: problem was. Early two thousand and eight, Marylyn had moved
Speaker 1: from her apartment in Hoschelega Messalneux back to her parents'
Speaker 1: house in Quebec, telling them that she no longer felt
Speaker 1: safe living where she had been. The neighborhood in which
Speaker 1: Maryland lived was notorious for criminal activity, was described as
Speaker 1: an impoverished area with many issues. She'd move there in
Speaker 1: two thousand and five and had taken up freelance work
Speaker 1: with local TV stations and was slowly beginning to pull
Speaker 1: her career together. But something had changed in recent months,
Speaker 1: and the events of February two thousand and eight would
Speaker 1: send her family on a hunt for justice and answers.
Speaker 1: Between February fifteenth and sixteenth, Maryland made trips between the
Speaker 1: two places, moving her things, and saying goodbye to her friends.
Speaker 1: Everyone tried to talk to Maryland, pleading with her to
Speaker 1: let them know what was wrong. Her family later told
Speaker 1: investigators that any attempt to talk to Maryland about her
Speaker 1: problems would result in her breaking down and shutting down
Speaker 1: the conversation. Should even cryptically ask her sister, is there
Speaker 1: a light at the end of the tunnel. During the move,
Speaker 1: her family tried to coax more information out of her,
Speaker 1: but each time she shut them down, showing a blank
Speaker 1: expression or simply breaking down in tears. It was at
Speaker 1: this point that her family referred her to a psychologist,
Speaker 1: hoped that the move back home would provide her with
Speaker 1: a safe and comfortable place to recover and explore her
Speaker 1: issues with a medical professional. According to the psychologist that
Speaker 1: saw Marylynd, her case was big and would require hospitalization. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Maryland disappeared before any further help or intervention could be offered.
Speaker 1: Her family were incredibly worried for her well being and
Speaker 1: ask her if someone had hurt her, or whether she
Speaker 1: had problems with her relationship, debt, et cetera. But each
Speaker 1: time Marilyn said, oh, everything's fine. By February seventeenth, two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, Marilyn had moved all of her things
Speaker 1: back into the family home and was resettling herself in
Speaker 1: a familiar environment. She told her family that she wanted
Speaker 1: to leave her life in Montreal behind for good, and
Speaker 1: her family said that they would help her along the way.
Speaker 1: At around eleven am on February seventeen, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: Marilyn left the family home for what, unfortunately it would
Speaker 1: be the last time. She told her mother that she
Speaker 1: was going for a walk and that she would be
Speaker 1: back soon. She said to the house, wearing only a
Speaker 1: long black coat with gray fake for a trim and boots,
Speaker 1: and headed off on her walk. The next time that
Speaker 1: Marilyn would be spotted was on CCTV, and she had
Speaker 1: an unusual item with her. At eleven nine am, Marylyn
Speaker 1: was seen on CCTV at an ATM on Boulevard de
Speaker 1: Los Mire attempting to withdraw a sixty dollars Canadian but
Speaker 1: the transaction failed. Her family believes that she had simply
Speaker 1: forgotten her pen number, but her behavior while the cash
Speaker 1: machine raised several alarms. The card that Marilyn attempted to
Speaker 1: use was a credit card that was linked to her
Speaker 1: father that she had been given in case of emergency.
Speaker 1: In the footage, Marilyn is seen looking over her shoulder
Speaker 1: several times and appears very paranoid. Marilyn's mother also noticed
Speaker 1: that she was wearing a black backpack over one shoulder,
Speaker 1: an item that she had not had with her when
Speaker 1: she left the house. So where had she gotten this
Speaker 1: strange backpack and what were her plans? Things only grow
Speaker 1: more mysterious with the next confirmed sighting of Maryland, which
Speaker 1: occurred at four h three pm in the cafe depot
Speaker 1: at Saint Romald. Now going to a coffee shop as
Speaker 1: an out of the ordinary activity, but the fact that
Speaker 1: this coffee shop was over twelve miles away from her
Speaker 1: home was rather suspicious. Why was Maryland in a coffee
Speaker 1: shop so far away from home when the neighborhoods around
Speaker 1: her had plenty of coffee shops she could have visited.
Speaker 1: The barista who served Maryland in this particular coffee shop
Speaker 1: was later questioned and confirmed that Maryland was alone and
Speaker 1: paid with a credit card, shordered her coffee, and then
Speaker 1: walked out of the coffee shop, never to be seen again.
Speaker 1: After this sighting, Marylyn has never been seen or heard from.
Speaker 1: There's been no activity on her phone or the card,
Speaker 1: and it's as if she simply dropped off the map.
Speaker 1: Investigators believed that Maryland was driven to the coffee shop
Speaker 1: twelve miles away from her home, as the weather conditions
Speaker 1: would have made it near impossible for her to walk down.
Speaker 1: It is unknown whether the possibility of public transport has
Speaker 1: ever been explored in this instance. When Maryland failed to
Speaker 1: return home, her family knew that something was very wrong
Speaker 1: and called the police straight away. After learning about Maryland's
Speaker 1: situation and the circumstances leading up to her disappearance, the
Speaker 1: search for her began immediately, with police scarrying the area
Speaker 1: and combing through her bank records and CCTV footage. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: the two CCTV sightings previously mentioned are the only confirmed
Speaker 1: sightings of Maryland. The police have put out numerous appeals
Speaker 1: for anyone who may have seen Maryland or may have
Speaker 1: given her a ride to police come forward. So far,
Speaker 1: nobody has. There have been several alleged sightings of Maryland,
Speaker 1: including sightings in Hawkesbury, Ontario. According to reports, people have
Speaker 1: seen a woman matching Maryland's description in Hawkesbury in the
Speaker 1: company of a man. The two were often known to
Speaker 1: move around the town, and those who saw said that
Speaker 1: she looked anxious and like she was possibly being held captive. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: none of these sightings have ever been substantiated, and despite
Speaker 1: numerous searches by both the police and Maryland's family, no
Speaker 1: sign of her has ever been found. Her family are
Speaker 1: of the opinion that she took her own life, but
Speaker 1: friends have alluded to something much much darker. In late
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Jonathan Gaudier, who knew Maryland from college,
Speaker 1: met up with her and noticed that her personality and
Speaker 1: behavior had completely changed. She was no longer the happy
Speaker 1: and lively Maryland that he once knew. The nights that
Speaker 1: they met up and attended a party before heading back
Speaker 1: to Maryland's apartment. It was here that she broke down crying.
Speaker 1: Jonathan rushed her aside to comfort her. He tried to
Speaker 1: get more information from her and pressed the matter, asking
Speaker 1: whether she had witnessed something horrific or or if something
Speaker 1: horrific had happened to her. According to Jonathan, Marylyn told
Speaker 1: him no, it's worse, Joe. You can't even imagine what
Speaker 1: I went through Sadly, she didn't elaborate any further. Investigation
Speaker 1: into Maryland's disappearance has continued over the years, with her
Speaker 1: family initially posting a ten thousand dollars Canadian reward for information.
Speaker 1: This amount has now grown to thirty thousand dollars Canadian.
Speaker 1: But we are still no closer to finding out what
Speaker 1: happened to Maryland, her mother told the CBC in twenty seventeen, Maryland,
Speaker 1: if you're still alive for us, it's like yesterday you disappeared.
Speaker 1: We love you, We're waiting for you with open arms,
Speaker 1: and we miss you so much. Her family believed that
Speaker 1: Maryland's life was either in danger or that she perceived
Speaker 1: to have been in danger in Montreal, and believes that
Speaker 1: her friends and associates may hold the answers. Marilyn Bergern
Speaker 1: was last seen on February seventeenth, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: has not been seen or heard from since. Maryln displayed
Speaker 1: worrying behavior in the lead up to her disappearance, and
Speaker 1: there have been several unconfirmed sightings of her in the Hawkesbury,
Speaker 1: Ontario area. Marilynd is described as a white female with
Speaker 1: brown hair, green eyes, five foot seven and one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifteen pounds. She has a tattoo of Pegasus on
Speaker 1: her chest blower, right collar bone, and she was last
Speaker 1: seen wearing boots and a black coat with gray fake
Speaker 1: per trim. Anyone with any information has urged to please

Speaker 1: old Andrew Gosden is one of the UK's most baffling
Speaker 1: miss in person cases. South Yorkshire Police have worked tirelessly
Speaker 1: over the years to find Andrew, but there are very
Speaker 1: few leads to work on. Those from the UK will
Speaker 1: have many strong memories on Andrew's disappearance and the media
Speaker 1: storm and investigation that followed. It's been over a decade
Speaker 1: since Andrew disappeared and the South Yorkshire Police are still
Speaker 1: no closer to cracking this mystifying case. Andrew Gosden lived
Speaker 1: in Bobby Doncaster, South Yorkshire, with his parents, Kevin and Glennis.
Speaker 1: The two provided Andrew with a happy and stable home life,
Speaker 1: and as a result, he was flourishing academically. He was
Speaker 1: in the young Gifted and Talented program at school and
Speaker 1: had a perfect attendance record. It was clear that Andrew
Speaker 1: was destined for great things academically, and he excelled in
Speaker 1: every subject at school. With this, Andrew's father, Kevin, said
Speaker 1: that he was not street wise and preferred to stay
Speaker 1: home and play on his Xbox and listened to metal music.
Speaker 1: This behavior is not uncommon for teenagers, and his parents
Speaker 1: were happy that he was flourishing academically and did have
Speaker 1: a small social circle of friends, good dependable ones. The
Speaker 1: lives of the Godsden family would be turned upside down
Speaker 1: one September afternoon, however, shortly after the new school year
Speaker 1: had started. Andrew had spent part of his summer holiday,
Speaker 1: which was six weeks, attending a Gifted and Talented program
Speaker 1: and was apparently very happy and had a bright outlook
Speaker 1: for what lay ahead of him after he'd finished school.
Speaker 1: On September fourteenth, two thousand and seven, was different. Something
Speaker 1: inside Andrew had changed and within the space of a
Speaker 1: few hours, his parents would be thrown into a missing
Speaker 1: person investigation that has spanned over a decade. On September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Andrew got up and got ready
Speaker 1: for school as normal. He said goodbye to his parents
Speaker 1: and headed out the front door at around eight oh
Speaker 1: five am. By all accounts, this was just another day
Speaker 1: at school. And Andrew was seen heading toward the bus stop. However,
Speaker 1: instead of boarding the bus to school, Andrew kept walking
Speaker 1: and headed into the local park. Nobody knows why Andrew's
Speaker 1: to skip school that day, but we do know that
Speaker 1: he waited in the park until around eight thirty am.
Speaker 1: By this time, his parents would have left for work,
Speaker 1: and Andrew knew that he would have the house to himself.
Speaker 1: This is just the beginning of the bizarre details surrounding
Speaker 1: the disappearance of Andrew Gosden, and things only become more
Speaker 1: mysterious from here. After waiting in the park, as we said,
Speaker 1: Andrew returned home, took off his school uniform and put
Speaker 1: it straight into the washing machine. He changed into a
Speaker 1: slipknot T shirt, dark jeans, and packed his bag with
Speaker 1: his keys, wallet and his PSP gaming system. Andrew didn't
Speaker 1: take his PSP charger with him, which indicated that he
Speaker 1: probably had every intention of coming back, but unfortunately that
Speaker 1: is not what happened. As Glynnis and Kevin went about
Speaker 1: their work day, they had no idea that their son
Speaker 1: was headed to Doncaster train station. Bank records confirmed that
Speaker 1: Andrew withdrew two hundred pounds from his account, leaving about
Speaker 1: fourteen pounds in the balance. Andrew walked into Doncaster Train station,
Speaker 1: went up to the ticket office and bought a one
Speaker 1: way ticket to London. The woman who served Andrew recalled
Speaker 1: telling him that for just fifty p extra he could
Speaker 1: get a return ticket, but Andrew declined. He confidently stated
Speaker 1: that he wanted the one way ticket, handed over the money,
Speaker 1: took the ticket and made his way to the platform.
Speaker 1: No one knows why Andrew bought a ticket to London,
Speaker 1: nor why I only bought a one way ticket. Was
Speaker 1: Andrew planning to meet with someone in London who had
Speaker 1: promised to take him back home, or did he plan
Speaker 1: to stay in London indefinitely. Witnesses reported seeing Andrew boarding
Speaker 1: the nine thirty five am train to London King's Cross
Speaker 1: Station and by eleven twenty five am he was captured
Speaker 1: on CCTV leaving King's Cross. This is the last confirmed
Speaker 1: sighting of Andrew, and over a decade later, we are
Speaker 1: still no closer to the truth. When Andrew's school noticed
Speaker 1: that he was absent that day, his parents were called. However,
Speaker 1: a clerical error was made and the wrong number was dialed.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until Glennison Kevin arrived home from work to
Speaker 1: find Andrew's uniform in the house that they knew something
Speaker 1: was off. After calling out Andrew's name and searching all
Speaker 1: over the house, his parents realized that he was missing
Speaker 1: and dialed nine ninety nine. South Yorkshire Police responded to
Speaker 1: the call immediately and the search for Andrew commenced. The
Speaker 1: area of Bobby was searched thoroughly and investigators began coming
Speaker 1: through Andrew's life. At the time of his disappearance, Andrew
Speaker 1: didn't have a phone as he was known to lose
Speaker 1: him and preferred to spend time on his xbox and
Speaker 1: listening to music. Anyway, Fliers, posters and news reports were
Speaker 1: circulated around South Yorkshire and Yorkshire, with the South Yorkshire
Speaker 1: Police hoping that somebody would come forward with information. As
Speaker 1: the days passed and there was no word. The Gostins
Speaker 1: began to realize that the situation that they were in
Speaker 1: was incredibly serious. Then, days after Andrew disappeared, the South
Speaker 1: Yorkshire Police got their first lead. One who sold Andrew
Speaker 1: the ticket at Doncaster train station came forward and from
Speaker 1: here the police were able to check CCTV and confirmed
Speaker 1: that Andrew had traveled to King's Cross. Sadly, Andrew was
Speaker 1: not spotted on CCTV after he left King's Cross station,
Speaker 1: and CCTV in the surrounding areas failed to show up anything.
Speaker 1: Now there are three main theories in Andrew's case, with
Speaker 1: the first thing that he was lured away by someone online.
Speaker 1: As we said, Andrew had an Xbox and a PSP,
Speaker 1: but forensic analysis of these and the data showed that
Speaker 1: Andrew was not registered online with an account. He reportedly
Speaker 1: didn't even use the family computer and didn't really touch
Speaker 1: online communications at all. This was backed up by digital
Speaker 1: forensic investigations that failed to turn up any online presence
Speaker 1: from Andrew whatsoever. His family did confirmed investigators that Andrew
Speaker 1: knew several people who lived in London, but none of
Speaker 1: these people have reported seeing Andrew on the date of
Speaker 1: or after his disappearance. The next theory that was well
Speaker 1: publicized in the British media was that Andrew had possibly
Speaker 1: gone to London to attend a gig or some sort
Speaker 1: of music related event. Andrew loved his metal music, and
Speaker 1: a few gigs were going on around that time. But
Speaker 1: if that were the case, then why would he buy
Speaker 1: a one way ticket. There were no sightings of Andrew
Speaker 1: at any of these music events, and there has been
Speaker 1: no proof to suggest that Andrew had tickets for any
Speaker 1: of these events either. The last theory is one that
Speaker 1: Andrew's father, Kevin, came up with. Kevin postulated that perhaps
Speaker 1: Andrew left to start a new life somewhere without the
Speaker 1: intervention of his family. His family were religious, but also
Speaker 1: said that they were open to sexuality and gender expression.
Speaker 1: This theory ties into an interesting clue that came to
Speaker 1: light in twenty eighteen. It's important to preface this next
Speaker 1: section by saying that Andrew's nickname was Rue, and it
Speaker 1: was a nickname that only those closest to him knew
Speaker 1: and called him. According to reports, an anonymous witness told
Speaker 1: the police that in twenty eighteen, he had a conversation
Speaker 1: with someone online by the name of Andy Roo. The
Speaker 1: two people have started talking and Andy Roo asked a
Speaker 1: naught of witness for two hundred pounds so that he
Speaker 1: could pay his rent. This Andy Roox person went on
Speaker 1: to explain that he'd left home at fourteen and didn't
Speaker 1: have a bank account, so sending money via bank transfer
Speaker 1: would be difficult. He said that he needed the money
Speaker 1: because his boyfriend had left him, but never went into
Speaker 1: further detail about his private life. This lead gave the
Speaker 1: Metropolitan Police and the South Yorkshire Police a glimmer of hope,
Speaker 1: but it appears the person calling themselves Andy Roo has
Speaker 1: never been formally identified and we cannot confirm whether or
Speaker 1: not this person is Andrew Gosden. Following Andrew's disappearance, his
Speaker 1: family traveled to London to hand out flyers and to
Speaker 1: peal to witnesses and anyone with information to come forward.
Speaker 1: Kevin and Glynnis have been the driving force behind keeping
Speaker 1: Andrew's name in the media, and they've continued to put
Speaker 1: pressure on the southard Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police
Speaker 1: to investigate his disappearance. This case has been incredibly well
Speaker 1: publicized and in towns and cities across the UK, Andrew's
Speaker 1: missing person poster can still be seen. The charity UK
Speaker 1: Missing Persons works with the families of those who are
Speaker 1: missing to create posters, and they also run a tip
Speaker 1: line for those of information or for those who are
Speaker 1: missing and need someone to talk to. Despite all of
Speaker 1: this media attention and investigation, no trace of Andrew has
Speaker 1: ever been located. After he left King's Cross Station, he
Speaker 1: seemingly vanished into thin air, and the investigation has laid
Speaker 1: dormant ever since. Well that was until January twenty two,
Speaker 1: when once again the Andrew Gosden case made headlines. On
Speaker 1: January eleventh, twenty twenty two, the BBC published an article
Speaker 1: titled Andrew Gosden two men arrested for trafficking and kidnapped.
Speaker 1: This headline shocked the nation and the details of the
Speaker 1: arrest would shock them even According to the BBC, two
Speaker 1: men aged thirty eight and forty five were arrested in
Speaker 1: December in London on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking.
Speaker 1: The forty five year old man was also arrested on
Speaker 1: suspicion of possessing indecent images. The two men were released
Speaker 1: on bail pending a further investigation, and the Metropolitan Police
Speaker 1: and the South Yorkshire Police are currently working the case.
Speaker 1: No further details have been released in regards to these
Speaker 1: charges and the police are keeping their cards very close
Speaker 1: to their chests throughout the years. Several age profession photos
Speaker 1: have been issued to show what Andrew may look like
Speaker 1: now as an adult. The River Thames has been searched
Speaker 1: numerous times by divers and with a sonar scanner, but
Speaker 1: this has not turned up any leads either. The South
Speaker 1: Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police, along with Andrew's family
Speaker 1: continue to search for him and hope that one day
Speaker 1: they will have answers or at least closure. Andrew Gosden
Speaker 1: was last seen wearing a slipknot tea shirt, dark jeans
Speaker 1: and was carrying a bag containing his keys, wallet and
Speaker 1: PSP gaming system. It bought a one way take it
Speaker 1: from Doncaster to King's Cross, London and was last seen
Speaker 1: leaving King's Cross station at eleven twenty five am on
Speaker 1: September fourteenth, two thousand and seven. And who has brown hair,
Speaker 1: has a unique double ridge on his right ear, is
Speaker 1: deaf in his left ear and wears strong prescription glasses.

Speaker 1: Ben Padilla. The disappearance of Ben Padia is a confusing
Speaker 1: and complex case and it requires a bit of background
Speaker 1: information to press his disappearance. In two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: American Airlines retired of Boeing seven twenty seven DASH two
Speaker 1: two three with the registration N eight or four AA,
Speaker 1: and this plane was purchased by Marie Joseph, who owned
Speaker 1: an aerospace company in Florida. Different sources give different stories,
Speaker 1: but the main gist of the situation is that a
Speaker 1: businessman came in least a plane located in Angola from Mariy,
Speaker 1: only to default on his payments or abandon the plans
Speaker 1: that he had for the plane. Apparently, this businessman wanted
Speaker 1: to use the plane to transport oil to diamond mines
Speaker 1: across Angola, and this same businessman and Marie Joseph had
Speaker 1: come to a payment agreement that never came to fruition.
Speaker 1: This meant that the plane went back into storage and
Speaker 1: racked up over four million dollars in airport fees. The plane,
Speaker 1: with number N eight or four AA, was then back
Speaker 1: in the hands of Maury Joseph, who brought Ben Padia
Speaker 1: on board. Ben was a certified aircraft mechanic, flight engineer
Speaker 1: and pilot, and he was perfect for the job. The
Speaker 1: N eight or four AA was twenty five years old
Speaker 1: and it needed repair work done to it before it
Speaker 1: was suitable for use. So Ben got to work fixing
Speaker 1: up the plane and all was going well. That was
Speaker 1: until May twenty fifth, two thousand and three, when something
Speaker 1: truly bizarre happened. On this day, the plane was due
Speaker 1: to fly from Angola to Germany, but as the crew
Speaker 1: arrived at the airport for their flight, they noticed that
Speaker 1: the plane had gone Everyone checked their watches to ensure
Speaker 1: that they had not made a mistake, but the events
Speaker 1: that would follow would only confuse them further. Shortly after
Speaker 1: the crew arrived, air traffic control noticed boaring seven two
Speaker 1: seven N eight or four AA taxing erratically on the runway.
Speaker 1: Several attempts were made by air traffic control to establish contact,
Speaker 1: however no no one responded. All air traffic could do
Speaker 1: was watch on as the boying took off into the skies.
Speaker 1: The only two men on board were Ben Padilla and
Speaker 1: a man named John Michael Mutantsu, who had been working
Speaker 1: alongside Ben as an aircraft technician. The plane had not
Speaker 1: been cleared for takeoff at that time, and it also
Speaker 1: not submitted a flight plan, which immediately caught the attention
Speaker 1: of air traffic control. Several more attempts were made to
Speaker 1: establish contact, but as the plane soared higher into the sky,
Speaker 1: their attempts proved feudle. Now, as the plane was being
Speaker 1: used for private business, the seats had been ripped out
Speaker 1: and it was made to carry diesel fuel, regardless of
Speaker 1: who or what was on board. Air Traffic Control was
Speaker 1: on red alert, and soon the word of the rogue
Speaker 1: plane had spread. This incident just two years shy of
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. It's in a wave of a panic
Speaker 1: through Angola. Officials tried desperately to track the plane but
Speaker 1: found nothing. The plane had been fueled up with over
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand gallons of jet fuel, which had only taken
Speaker 1: the plane about twenty four hundred miles. Well, as you know,
Speaker 1: what goes up must come down. But as the days
Speaker 1: dragged on, there were no reports of a boring seven
Speaker 1: to twenty seven with ID number N eight four four
Speaker 1: AA landing at any airport, nor were there any reports
Speaker 1: of a crash. The plane had seemingly taken off and
Speaker 1: vanished into thin air, almost if it had flown right
Speaker 1: into a portal. According to reports, the plane, with its
Speaker 1: lights off and its transponder not transmitting N eight four
Speaker 1: four AA, took off over the southwest and had it
Speaker 1: out over the Atlantic Ocean. So where did ben Padilla
Speaker 1: go and what happened to the seven twenty seven that
Speaker 1: seemingly disappeared into thin air. One theory is that the
Speaker 1: mysterious disappearance is down to insurance fraud. As previously mentioned,
Speaker 1: the plane was due to be leased by someone. However,
Speaker 1: the deal fell through and the plane ended up procuring
Speaker 1: millions of dollars in fees the time it was stored
Speaker 1: at the airport in Angola. Some people are of the
Speaker 1: opinion that Mary Joseph and Ben Padia planned the plane's
Speaker 1: disappearance in order to claim insurance to help pay those fees.
Speaker 1: Another theory is perhaps the two men were on the
Speaker 1: plane at the wrong time and they were forced to
Speaker 1: fly the plane to wherever the hijacker demanded. The FBI, NSA,
Speaker 1: and the CIA became involved in the search for Ben
Speaker 1: and the missing Bowling seven twenty seven, along with several
Speaker 1: other countries, but so far nothing has ever been discovered
Speaker 1: or recovered. When Ben first took the job, his brother
Speaker 1: recalled having a conversation with him about hijacking. Ben told
Speaker 1: his brother that he would rather crash the plane than
Speaker 1: comply with anyone's demands, and wondered whether Ben was harmed
Speaker 1: or was being held against his will somewhere. The investigation
Speaker 1: into Ben's sudden disappearance and the disappearance of the Boeing
Speaker 1: seven to twenty seven is still ongoing, but very little

Speaker 1: number two. Melanie Fia. September twenty eighth, twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: will mark the twenty sixth anniversary the disappearance of fifteen
Speaker 1: year old Melanie Nadia Etia from her home in Nulus Garden, Ontario.
Speaker 1: Born on Christmas Day in nineteen eighty, Melanie was a
Speaker 1: great joy in her mother's life and to all those
Speaker 1: who knew her. Melni, her five year old sister Jesse,
Speaker 1: and her mother, Celine had lived in the newless Court
Speaker 1: area for almost nine years, and those in the community
Speaker 1: knew Melanie well. Melanie was known for her vibrant personality
Speaker 1: and the fact that she was an honor student at
Speaker 1: the Echos Secondary Catholic School. Melanie had dreams of becoming
Speaker 1: a teacher after she graduated from high school, and in
Speaker 1: between completing homework, Melie worked at a daycare that was
Speaker 1: attached to her school. This job provided Melanie with some
Speaker 1: independence and gave her valuable skills to take into her
Speaker 1: future teaching career. Unfortunately, this bright and promising young woman
Speaker 1: was taken and never got to live out her dream
Speaker 1: of being a teacher. September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six
Speaker 1: was the day that the lives of the Fa family
Speaker 1: would change forever. On that morning, Melanie headed towards a
Speaker 1: local library after visiting a family friend and bumped into
Speaker 1: one of her friends. The two girls decided to spend
Speaker 1: the day together and they went into the city to
Speaker 1: do a bit of shopping and relax. According to this friend,
Speaker 1: Melley bought a cake tin and cake making supplies, but
Speaker 1: she could make a birthday cake for her grandmother. Melley
Speaker 1: seemed excited about the trip, and the two girls enjoyed themselves.
Speaker 1: As the day wore on, the girls made plans to
Speaker 1: meet up with Melany's boyfriend, Neil Fourtier, and three other friends,
Speaker 1: Dave Bromley, Jay Denall, and Ryan Chatwin. The group of
Speaker 1: teenagers hung out and planned what they wanted to do
Speaker 1: together for the rest of the day and evening. September
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six was a Saturday, so the
Speaker 1: youngsters wanted to make the most of not having to
Speaker 1: go to bed early, so the group had to a
Speaker 1: video store and rented a copy of the Film's Sudden Death.
Speaker 1: The original plan was to head to Melny's house. Howevers,
Speaker 1: Melanie's grandparents were staying over, the house was already a
Speaker 1: hub of activity. Melanie's room was a mess, and there
Speaker 1: was no place for the teens to kick back and relax.
Speaker 1: This didn't bother them, though, and they merely decided to
Speaker 1: head to another home, eventually settling on the home of
Speaker 1: Ryan Chatwin on Pine Avenue. After wandering around, calling in
Speaker 1: at their friends homes hoping to get a quiet room,
Speaker 1: the teens were lieved to find that Ryan's parents were upstairs,
Speaker 1: leaving them with free reign of the house. They settled
Speaker 1: in to watch the film Man, just to chat and
Speaker 1: enjoy each other's company. The hours ticked by, and slowly,
Speaker 1: one by one, the teens left and headed home. Melanie
Speaker 1: was one of the last to leave Ryan Chatwin's house,
Speaker 1: unaware of what her best friend had just encountered outside.
Speaker 1: That best friend would later tell investigators that when she
Speaker 1: left Ryan's house at twelve thirty am, she saw a
Speaker 1: light covered Chevrolet at Montey Carlo or a similar car
Speaker 1: crawling slowly down the street. The driver of the car
Speaker 1: paid special attention to her as she walked to a
Speaker 1: place where she's being picked up, and she said that
Speaker 1: the driver scared her so much as she took off running.
Speaker 1: Between one point thirty and two am, Melanie left Ryan's
Speaker 1: house and news would be the last time she was
Speaker 1: ever seen or heard from. Those left over at Ryan's
Speaker 1: house watched as Melanie walk down Pine Avenue and into
Speaker 1: the darkness. Her home was only about a half mile away,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately, Melanie never completed the journey. Her disappearance wasn't
Speaker 1: noted until much later that morning, when the FAA household
Speaker 1: awoke to find no sign of Melanie. Selene, her mother
Speaker 1: checked with Melney's friends, hoping that she had stayed the
Speaker 1: night and just forgotten a call, but her heart sank
Speaker 1: when her friend said that she wasn't there and had
Speaker 1: left about two am. Selene rushed to the daycare where
Speaker 1: Melanie worked, and she wasn't there either, and that was
Speaker 1: the moment she knew it was serious. She picked up
Speaker 1: the phone and called the police. The new list Card Police,
Speaker 1: along with the Ontario Provincial Police, began their search for
Speaker 1: Melny and began knocking on doors of homes and businesses
Speaker 1: in the community. Beldy's personal life was looked at and
Speaker 1: those were with her on the night she disappeared were
Speaker 1: also u. Investigators were very interested in the account given
Speaker 1: by Melanie's best friend and believe that Melie may have
Speaker 1: either been targeted or may have been mistakenly targeted, as
Speaker 1: her attackers may have believed she was someone else. Helicopters,
Speaker 1: sent dogs and search and rescue personnel go through Nuless
Speaker 1: card looking for any sign of Melanie, but nothing could
Speaker 1: be found. It was as she had simply vanished. There
Speaker 1: were a few reports of a girl matching Melanie's description
Speaker 1: walking on the Armstrong Street bridge across the Wabi River.
Speaker 1: The Wabi River has been searched by dive teams, but
Speaker 1: nothing was ever found. Multiple searches were conducted, but so
Speaker 1: far the police have yet to find any evidence of
Speaker 1: what happened to Melanie. Her mother, Celine, made a post
Speaker 1: to the Let's Work together to find Melanie at the
Speaker 1: Facebook group in November twenty twenty. Here's part of that post.
Speaker 1: For many years, I felt that Melanie is no longer alive,
Speaker 1: and I know that finding the truth about her disappearance
Speaker 1: will not change that. I'm not driven by justice, anger
Speaker 1: or vengeance. I am a mother searching for a missing child,
Speaker 1: so that I can give her the dignified memorials she
Speaker 1: deserves and enable my family to finally grieve, find closure,
Speaker 1: and heal. You may not be able to bring Melanie
Speaker 1: back to life, but by providing the police with the
Speaker 1: information needed to bring back her body, you can help
Speaker 1: me and my family begin to rebuild ours. Also in
Speaker 1: the Facebook group, Selene and others have made numerous posts
Speaker 1: about Dennis Levier, who is a family friend. Three days
Speaker 1: after Melanie's disappearance, Dennis made a chilling statement to Selene's mother,
Speaker 1: who had been staying at the home for birthday celebrations.
Speaker 1: According to the grandmother, which is Selene's mother, Dennis came
Speaker 1: round to the house and was smoking a cigarette in
Speaker 1: the basement, which is extremely out of character and something
Speaker 1: that Selene wouldn't have allowed. Then, as Dennis smoked a cigarette,
Speaker 1: he chillingly told the grandmother that the person responsible had
Speaker 1: to have been very strong. As previously mentioned, Meldy had
Speaker 1: taken self defense classes, and she also loved ballet and
Speaker 1: other sports, so she was in good shape and strong
Speaker 1: for rage. That wasn't the only chilling thing that Dennis said,
Speaker 1: though he rolled up his sleeves and showed the grandmother
Speaker 1: of fresh, deep nail marks on his arm. This discovery
Speaker 1: sent shows to the Faa family, but Dennis played it
Speaker 1: off and told Seline in the family that Melley had
Speaker 1: done that to him while they were playfighting in the
Speaker 1: days before she disappeared. Nobody in the Fta family believed
Speaker 1: Dennis's version of events, and it later transpired that Dennis
Speaker 1: was known to try and inappropriately talk to and engaged
Speaker 1: with miners. The scope of Melny's case deserves a video
Speaker 1: of its own, and many theories come up in this case. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Dennis passed away in twenty sixteen, taking any secrets he
Speaker 1: had with him to the grave. Many people have came
Speaker 1: forward claiming that Dennis had admitted to them that he
Speaker 1: had harmed Melney, but these claims could never be substantiated.
Speaker 1: Selene believes that Dennis is the most likely suspect in
Speaker 1: Melnany's disappearance, and while Dennis has now passed away, she
Speaker 1: believes that someone out there has the right information to
Speaker 1: bring the right person to justice for what they did
Speaker 1: to Melanie. There are many ins and outs in this case,
Speaker 1: and Selene has been the driving force behind keeping her
Speaker 1: daughter's name in the media. She's created numerous posters, billboards,
Speaker 1: and social media accounts to help keep her daughter's memory
Speaker 1: alive and to help bring her home. Beldi Atia was
Speaker 1: last seen on September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six, on
Speaker 1: Pine Avenue in newless Card, Ontario. She's described as a
Speaker 1: black female with long braided black hair, brown eyes, standing
Speaker 1: five foot five and weighing one hundred and twenty pounds.
Speaker 1: She was last seen wearing a green Nike jacket, blue jeans,
Speaker 1: a white T shirt with a blue heart ape logo,
Speaker 1: and black boots. Anyone with information is asked to please

Speaker 1: POJ one PO number one. August Riger, eighteen year old
Speaker 1: August Riger had recently graduated from the class in School
Speaker 1: of Advanced Studies and was even awarded the honor of
Speaker 1: being that year's Valedictorian. For August, life was just beginning
Speaker 1: and the world was truly his oyster, and he had
Speaker 1: earned himself a full scholarship at the University of Oklahoma. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that summer was snatched away right from under the nose
Speaker 1: of august family, and almost a decade later on, his
Speaker 1: case remains unsolved. On June sixteenth, twenty thirteen, August and
Speaker 1: his family took the trip of a lifetime to Ecuador
Speaker 1: to celebrate his graduation. According to his parents, Chris and Randa,
Speaker 1: August had asked for a holiday to a Spanish speaking
Speaker 1: country as he wanted to practice his Spanish. His parents
Speaker 1: would later tell news outlets that this was just the
Speaker 1: kind of person August is, always wanting to learn and
Speaker 1: improve himself. The family packed up their things and headed
Speaker 1: to Ecuador, not knowing the horrors that awaited them. The
Speaker 1: family was staying in Banos, Central Ecuador, and were counting
Speaker 1: down the days until their dream tour came around. The
Speaker 1: family had booked on to a three day tour the
Speaker 1: Amazon Jungle, something August was especially looking for. Warward two.
Speaker 1: With time to spare, Chris Randa August and his siblings
Speaker 1: decided to take a hike on a trail close to
Speaker 1: their hotel. This would give them a chance to experience
Speaker 1: the natural beauty that Ecuador has to offer while still
Speaker 1: being close to civilization. Unfortunately, despite being close to their
Speaker 1: hotel and other populated areas, the unthinkable happened. As the
Speaker 1: family went along the trail, August sped ahead and told
Speaker 1: him that he would wait for them at the top.
Speaker 1: The rest of the family followed behind, expecting to see
Speaker 1: August smiling and waiting for them, but he was nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. His family looked around for him but
Speaker 1: saw nothing. They decided to head back to the hotel,
Speaker 1: thinking that August had possibly gone there, maybe taking another
Speaker 1: route down, but as they reached their room, there was
Speaker 1: still no sign of August. The Riager family waited, hoping
Speaker 1: that August would return hours later. When that didn't transpire,
Speaker 1: they reported their son missing to the end Ecuadorian authorities.
Speaker 1: In twenty four hours after he was last seen. A
Speaker 1: search party was established to find the missing team. The
Speaker 1: governor's office of the province where the Riggers were staying
Speaker 1: made a statement in the wake of august disappearance reassuring
Speaker 1: the media and US citizens watching the story closely that
Speaker 1: all efforts were being made to find the young man.
Speaker 1: Part of the statement read a special team of local authorities,
Speaker 1: including members of the Armed Forces, police, fire department, and
Speaker 1: some volunteers, were deployed in order to find mister Riger.
Speaker 1: Hours slowly turned into days, and there was still no
Speaker 1: word from August. His family waited patiently for any updates
Speaker 1: or leads as to their son's squearbouts August missing person
Speaker 1: poster was distributed across Ecuador and locals kept a close
Speaker 1: eye out for him. Ten days later, a bizarre sighting
Speaker 1: was reported to the Ecuadorian authorities. According to an ABC
Speaker 1: News article written on June twenty sixth, twenty thirteen, there
Speaker 1: had been a possible sighting of August. The article goes
Speaker 1: on to say, a high school valedictorian from Oklahoma has
Speaker 1: been missing for more than a week at Ecuador might
Speaker 1: have been spotted on the back of a truck headed
Speaker 1: toward the Amazon rainforest. The family told ABC News this
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the only sighting of August, though, and as
Speaker 1: the months passed, more sightings would be called into the authorities.
Speaker 1: Christie Riager August SAANDT spoke to ko CO five News
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, telling the station that authorities had received
Speaker 1: several credible sightings of August over the last few weeks
Speaker 1: and that the family held out hope that August was
Speaker 1: still out there unharmed. This sentiment was also echoed on
Speaker 1: the Facebook page Bind August Riager, which is run by
Speaker 1: his family. On May seventh, twenty fourteen, the post was
Speaker 1: made to the Facebook page reading we are excited to
Speaker 1: report that there have been a few recent sightings of August.
Speaker 1: We are grateful for the Ecuadorian citizens who are helping
Speaker 1: out of the goodness of their hearts, we will bring
Speaker 1: him home. Underneath this post, a comment was also added
Speaker 1: by the page that reads, no more info for now.
Speaker 1: The investigation is obviously active and on the move. Sharing
Speaker 1: too much could compromise that. Since then, the Ecuadorian authorities
Speaker 1: and August family have continued to look for him, and
Speaker 1: his family praised the authorities and the people of Ecuador.
Speaker 1: Posters with August face were widely distributed and it's a
Speaker 1: case that many Ecuadorians will not forget. Years have passed
Speaker 1: since August vanished, and his family still holds out hope
Speaker 1: that he is alive somewhere. No ransom demands have ever
Speaker 1: been made, and the authorities cannot figure out why anyone
Speaker 1: would have wanted to kidnap August. There's also the theory
Speaker 1: that August fell over the edge while on the hike,
Speaker 1: but his remains have never been recovered to support this theory,
Speaker 1: august family runs to find August Rigg or Facebook page,
Speaker 1: along with making media appearances to keep his story in
Speaker 1: the public eye. August Rigger was last seen on June sixteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, in the mountains of Banos in Ecuador. Photos
Speaker 1: showing possible alterations in august appearance are available via the
Speaker 1: Facebook page. Alternatively, you can contact your nearest US embassy
Speaker 1: or consulate office. Well, folks, there you have it. What
Speaker 1: do you think of these strange and creepy disappearances. I
Speaker 1: look forward to hearing your comments. Please keep it friendly
Speaker 1: and respect. Meanwhile, be good to yourselves and each other.
Speaker 1: Stay safe out there. As for me, I'll see you
Speaker 1: a little farther on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton
Speaker 1: and I'll talk to you next time. Hello, friends, Steve
Speaker 1: Stockton here with you in this video. We're going to
Speaker 1: be discussing some strange wilderness disappearances you may never have
Speaker 1: heard of. So sit back, relax, and let the stories begin. Now.
Speaker 1: For some, a walk in the wilderness can be the
Speaker 1: perfect getaway from everyday life and a chance to reconnect
Speaker 1: with mother Nature. For others, great outdoors can be a
Speaker 1: dangerous place, and unfortunately there's a place where many people
Speaker 1: meet their end or just mysteriously vanish. Here are for
Speaker 1: such cases for you to consider. Number four. Brian Skelenski,
Speaker 1: Forty year old Brian Skelensky was at a turning point
Speaker 1: in his life. He was admittedly in the midst of
Speaker 1: a midlife crisis and was desperately seeking answers had a
Speaker 1: purpose in his life. He told CBS Denver, I was
Speaker 1: trying to find motivation for the next forty years of
Speaker 1: my life. I wanted to exert myself. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to go to the extremes that I did. In a
Speaker 1: bid to clear his head and reconnect with nature, Brian
Speaker 1: headed out into the Great Sand Dunes National Park and preserve.
Speaker 1: What should have been a life changing expedition almost turned
Speaker 1: into the tragedy. On February eleventh, Brian entered the Great
Speaker 1: Sand Dunes National Park headed for the Coal Creek Drainage area,
Speaker 1: which would have seen him hiking ten miles around the
Speaker 1: perimeter of the park. Coal Creek Drainage is located at
Speaker 1: the base of Mount Herold and what had provided Brian
Speaker 1: with spectacular views and the perfect amount of quiet time
Speaker 1: to clear his head. Sometime into his walk, the conditions changed, however,
Speaker 1: and he began to encounter snowdrifts. Any other person would
Speaker 1: probably have turned around and had it back to their car,
Speaker 1: but Brian had other ideas. In an interview with CBS's Denver,
Speaker 1: he says, I said, this isn't going to stop me.
Speaker 1: Three feet of snow. Three feet isn't going to stop me.
Speaker 1: Four feet isn't going to stop me. I'm going to
Speaker 1: keep going. Why, I couldn't tell you. Unfortunately, this mistake
Speaker 1: would almost cost Brian his life. After becoming stranded, Brian
Speaker 1: soon realized the mistake he had made. He had no shelter,
Speaker 1: no extra clothing, and only two small meals meant to
Speaker 1: sustain him for one day. As the sun rose on
Speaker 1: the second day, Brian desperately tried to continue his fight
Speaker 1: to find his way home. The freezing temperatures and snow
Speaker 1: did little to help, of course, and by the third
Speaker 1: day he had to cut the laces and tongues out
Speaker 1: of his boots as they had frozen over. Now, with
Speaker 1: damaged boots, no food, no water, no warm clothes, Brian
Speaker 1: carried on walking. To make matters worse, Brian had gotten
Speaker 1: lost and had found himself on the sand dunes. His
Speaker 1: absence had gone unnoticed, though, and by the fifth day
Speaker 1: of him being missing, ragers from the park noticed that
Speaker 1: his car had been parked there an unusually long time.
Speaker 1: After failing to make contact with the owner, they set
Speaker 1: about looking for park rangers, along with volunteers, horsets and
Speaker 1: arrow units, began scanning the park looking for any sign
Speaker 1: of the missing man, but there was nothing to be seen.
Speaker 1: Sniffer dogs were even brought in, and while his footprints
Speaker 1: and scent were found, Brian wasn't. As the fifth day
Speaker 1: was drawn to a close, the outlook was looking very
Speaker 1: bleak for Brian, and his chance of survival was growing
Speaker 1: slimmer and slimmer by the minute. Then a miracle happened.
Speaker 1: He told CBS Denver, I'd given up on my mission
Speaker 1: to the stars. I saw a road and that's when
Speaker 1: I was discovered by rescuers. He was escorted to the
Speaker 1: Great Sand Dune Vister Center and said, I walk in
Speaker 1: there and I see a picture of myself on the
Speaker 1: bulletin board and a map. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I didn't even do you think people were looking for me.
Speaker 1: It was a miracle. Brian had been found alive and
Speaker 1: well after surviving for five days in below freezing temperatures
Speaker 1: without food, water, shelter, or adequate clothing. His extremities had
Speaker 1: suffered from frostbite, but he refused to accept medical treatment. Instead,
Speaker 1: all he asked of his rescuers was to help him
Speaker 1: get back home to New York. Brian's story doesn't end there, though.
Speaker 1: This wouldn't be the last time he would disappear into
Speaker 1: the wilderness. In early May twenty seventeen, Brian Skelenski would
Speaker 1: hit the headlines once again when he disappeared from the
Speaker 1: Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. According to reports,
Speaker 1: Brian went missing and again Mark rangers discovered his car
Speaker 1: in a picnic area and tried to track him down.
Speaker 1: When they failed to do so, they got together a
Speaker 1: search and rescue team, but this time the outcome wasn't
Speaker 1: so bright. Unfortunately, bad weather prevented the search teams from
Speaker 1: conducting a thorough search, and on June twenty eighth, twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: Brian's body was discovered covered with deep snow. Number three
Speaker 1: Randy Rascoe. On November nineteenth, twenty fifteen, park rangers at
Speaker 1: the Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky noticed that a
Speaker 1: car had been sitting in the car park for around
Speaker 1: two weeks. This immediately set off warning bells, and after
Speaker 1: doing some digging for information, they discovered that the car
Speaker 1: belonged to forty year old Randy Rascoe. As the car
Speaker 1: had been there for quite some time, the park rangers
Speaker 1: set about searching for Randy right away, but when he
Speaker 1: couldn't be found in or near the parking area, they
Speaker 1: opened an investigation and widened their search. Park rangers and
Speaker 1: investigators contacted Randy's family to see if they had spoken
Speaker 1: to him, but chillingly, they had been out of contact
Speaker 1: for a few months. According to his sister Sherry, up
Speaker 1: until May twenty fifteen, everything was normal on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: He was doing his normal things, hunting, fishing, and kept
Speaker 1: in contact with our brother who lived close to his
Speaker 1: Bowling Green apartment. Then one day, out of the blue,
Speaker 1: he packed up his belongings, quit his job, and had
Speaker 1: his mail forward it to another address, and just left.
Speaker 1: Cherry said they filed a missing person's report after they
Speaker 1: found out he had just fled and were worried as
Speaker 1: he had recently gotten divorced. For a month, the Rascoe
Speaker 1: family waited for any news, and in June he was
Speaker 1: found safe and sound in Washington State. Randy made it
Speaker 1: clear that he didn't want to speak to his family
Speaker 1: at that time and wanted to be alone. As painful
Speaker 1: as it was, his family respected his boundaries and assured
Speaker 1: him they would welcome him back with open arms whenever
Speaker 1: he was ready. For the next few months, it's believed
Speaker 1: that Randy traveled all around the US, all while maintaining
Speaker 1: his privacy and secrecy. His family didn't know that anything
Speaker 1: was wrong until the Mammoth Cave National Park rangers contacted
Speaker 1: them to let them know that his car had been
Speaker 1: found abandoned. With this second disappearance, his family hoped that
Speaker 1: there would be a positive resolution, but sadly, as of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Randy Rascoe is still missing. Search crews, volunteers,
Speaker 1: and even the Civil Air Patrol all joined the in
Speaker 1: for the search for Randy scurryingly over fifty three thousand
Speaker 1: acres of land in the park. Despite their best efforts
Speaker 1: in multiple searches, no sign of Randy has ever been found,
Speaker 1: and his car is the only clue we have in
Speaker 1: terms of his mysterious disappearance. Randy Rascoe is described as
Speaker 1: a white male six foot two inches taught with black hair,
Speaker 1: hazel eyes, and a slim, athletic build. Anyone with any
Speaker 1: information is as to please contact the Mammoth Cave National
Speaker 1: Park at two seven zero seven five eight two one
Speaker 1: eight zero number two. Marine Kelly, eighteen year old Marine
Speaker 1: Kelly embarked on what she thought would be a spiritual
Speaker 1: adventure of a lifetime. However, this adventure quickly turned sour
Speaker 1: and she's been missing ever since. On June nineteenth, twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: Marine and a group of friends arrived at the Canyon
Speaker 1: Creek campground in the Gifford Pinchote National Park in Washington State,
Speaker 1: ready to camp and hang out together and have a
Speaker 1: good time. The friends were relaxing and taking in the
Speaker 1: natural beauty of the park when Marine abruptly announced that
Speaker 1: she was going on a spiritual adventure. She took off
Speaker 1: all of her clothes, removed her shoes, and was equipped
Speaker 1: with nothing but a fanny pack that's believed to have
Speaker 1: held a pocket knife accompass. In a few matches after
Speaker 1: declaring that she was going on a spiritual adventure, Marine
Speaker 1: headed out into the woods, never to be seen again.
Speaker 1: Riene didn't tell her friends how long she was going
Speaker 1: to be or even where she was headed what They
Speaker 1: figured she would be back at least within a few
Speaker 1: hours to tell them all about her spiritual journey. As
Speaker 1: darkness rolled in and Marine still hadn't returned, a group
Speaker 1: of friends alerted this Commanian County Sheriff's office and she
Speaker 1: was officially reported missing. There were added concerns about her
Speaker 1: welfare to the fact that she left without clothes, shoes, food,
Speaker 1: and water, and within hours a huge search and rescue
Speaker 1: mission began. Volunteers, park rangers and search and rescue coordinators
Speaker 1: called through the park looking for any sign of her,
Speaker 1: but despite their best efforts, it was as if she
Speaker 1: had vanished into thin air. One clue did surface, however,
Speaker 1: and as search teams are looking on the ground, they
Speaker 1: came across footprints, barefootprints that were the same size as
Speaker 1: Marine's feet. Working on this singular clue, sniffer dogs are
Speaker 1: brought in in an attempt to trace her sent but
Speaker 1: due to the rainfall, they were unable to pick up anything.
Speaker 1: The footprints showed that Marine had perhaps headed north towards
Speaker 1: for Service fifty four road, but as previously mentioned, the
Speaker 1: trail ended where the road began. Helicopters were brought in,
Speaker 1: but they were unable to search for Marine in then
Speaker 1: initial hours and days following her disappearance due to severe
Speaker 1: weather conditions. Nineteen euro old Marine Kelly remains missing and
Speaker 1: this Caamania County Sheriff's Office is still no closer to
Speaker 1: finding out what happens to her. Many believe that she
Speaker 1: succumbed to the elments that very night, but as her
Speaker 1: body has never been found, nobody knows for sure. Marien
Speaker 1: is described as an Asian Pacific islander with black hair,
Speaker 1: brown eyes. She stands five ft seven inches tall and
Speaker 1: weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds. Anyone with any
Speaker 1: information is asked to police contact this Comania County Sheriff's

Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, sixty eight year old Cat Hamententree, her dog Tutsi,
Speaker 1: her husband, her daughter, and a group of other hikers
Speaker 1: set up off into the San Felipe Desert in Baja California, Mexico.
Speaker 1: The group were either headed for or near the Diablo Canyon.
Speaker 1: Uh Ohe tragedy struck in this community. We know all
Speaker 1: about places with devil in the name. According to the
Speaker 1: Seattle Times, Kate had lived in Mexico for the past
Speaker 1: twenty years. He would often make the trip to Seattle,
Speaker 1: Washington to visit her friends and family. The details surrounding
Speaker 1: Cast's disappearance or sparse, but here is what we do know.
Speaker 1: According to Kat's daughter, Desiree Blair, about ten minutes into
Speaker 1: the hike, Cat complained that she had hurt her foot
Speaker 1: or ankle and told the group that she would take
Speaker 1: a quick break while they continued on. Her husband later
Speaker 1: commented that the injury seemed severe and he believed the
Speaker 1: cat may have actually broken her foot or ankle. The
Speaker 1: group left Cat and her dog Tutsi behind as they
Speaker 1: made their way to the waterfall, and as they circled
Speaker 1: back around, Cat was nowhere to be found. Her husband,
Speaker 1: Warren Sunquist, went and waited at their car, thinking that
Speaker 1: perhaps she had headed there, but she never showed up.
Speaker 1: Hours passed and there was no sign of Cat. The
Speaker 1: group and her family reported her missing. Cat was very
Speaker 1: familiar with the area and showed no concerns about being
Speaker 1: left alone while the others finished their height. Chasso apparently
Speaker 1: showed no signs of distress, making her disappearance all the
Speaker 1: more mystifying. After Cat was reported missing, search and rescue crews, volunteers,
Speaker 1: and even the Mexican Armed Forces all pitched in to
Speaker 1: help find her, but as of twenty twenty two, no
Speaker 1: trace has ever been found. The authorities in San Felipe
Speaker 1: did believe at one point that someone in the hiking
Speaker 1: group may have been responsible, however, although everyone present was
Speaker 1: questioned and no charges have ever been brought about. One
Speaker 1: theory suggests the cat perhaps stumbled across cartel activity and
Speaker 1: that she was taken out for what she saw. Another
Speaker 1: theory as the cat was attacked by a wild animal,
Speaker 1: but the first attending officers noted that the scene was
Speaker 1: devoid of any signs of a struggle. There was no
Speaker 1: blood as of this recording. In March or twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: kat Hamanre and her dog Kutsi remain missing and her
Speaker 1: family are desperate for answers. Anyone with any information is
Speaker 1: asked to contact the Sam Felly Paid Police Department at
Speaker 1: six eight six five seven seven one one three four. Well, folks,
Speaker 1: there you have it. What do you think of these
Speaker 1: strange cases? Had you heard of these before? I look
Speaker 1: forward to your comments, but please keep it friendly and respectful.
Speaker 1: In the meanwhile, be good to yourselves and each other,
Speaker 1: and I'll see you just a little farther on down
Speaker 1: the trail. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you
Speaker 1: next time. Well, there you have it. I hope you've
Speaker 1: enjoyed this creepy case marathon. Till we meet again, be
Speaker 1: good yourselves and each other. As for me, I'll see
Speaker 1: a little further on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton,
Speaker 1: and I'll talk to you next time. Till your animals,
Speaker 1: Steve says, Hi
