1
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:09,199
Speaker 1: I live in the western territory of Wyoming. Most of

2
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,119
Wyoming is made up of small towns and long roads

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,560
going between them. I live in one of these towns,

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:19,160
consisting of maybe forty to fifty buildings total and barely

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,760
the area of a square mile. The next nearest town

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,559
is an hour drive away. Anyway, My cottage type home

7
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:30,480
is down a trail away from the center of town.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,000
I live alone with my dog Sam, but I find

9
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:36,600
it peaceful, at least for right now. I never found

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,200
that I had to worry about anything being so far

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,039
away from civilization, but one night I realized that that

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,119
was exactly why I should be worried. I worked from home,

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,719
so just like any other day, I worked until five

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,399
and then got off and took my dog for a

15
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,479
long walk. We would often go through a trail I

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,520
made in the forest behind our house. It was the

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,119
middle of winter, though, so it was fairly cold and

18
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,719
there was a light snowfall. I walked Sam for maybe

19
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,799
twenty minutes before the sun began setting, and I decided

20
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:08,840
it best to turn around and head back to the house.

21
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:13,760
Alonger walk back, Sam perked his head up and stopped,

22
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:18,159
suddenly staring ahead. It was somewhat dark at this point,

23
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,799
but I could still see clear enough that nothing was there.

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,680
I kept walking forward and Sam eventually followed, but a

25
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:29,040
few steps later I noticed something on the path. I

26
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,560
got closer. There were footprints in the thin layer of snow.

27
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:37,200
While it was already odd for there to be footprints

28
00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:39,920
on a self made trail next to my isolated home,

29
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,959
what was more odd was the direction in which they

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,959
were going. They went across the trail, not along it,

31
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:50,879
and based on the angle, they were going straight through

32
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:54,359
the trees in the direction of my house. I would

33
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:56,480
have noticed them on our way up the path, so

34
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,120
they had to be recent within the last ten minutes

35
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:02,599
for sure. I tugged Sam along, walking quickly on the

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,040
trail as the snow began to pick up. When we

37
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:08,719
exited the tree line, it was too dark and snowy

38
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,599
to even see the house clearly. Getting closer, though, a

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,360
really bad, unnerving feeling came across me. I felt safer

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240
with Sam next to me, but something just didn't feel right.

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,039
I went up to the front door and opened it.

42
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:28,360
Sam seemed to be acting normal, so.

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: I felt a bit of relief.

44
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: I took his collar and leash off, but after a

45
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,319
few minutes I couldn't shake the thought of those footprints

46
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,719
in the snow. I decided I needed peace of mind

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,080
and grabbed my coat to go check and make sure

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,120
that no footprints were around the house. It was really

49
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:48,439
dark and the snow was heavy now. I walked around

50
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:50,960
the side and started looking for any signs of anything,

51
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,199
but with so much snow, I was sure it would

52
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,360
be covered up by now. Still, I just wanted to

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,840
make sure I was on the left side of my house,

54
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:05,159
saying nothing at all. When Sam suddenly started barking from inside.

55
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:09,000
It startled me, but I immediately ran back round to

56
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,360
the front and went inside. I called out for Sam,

57
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:14,639
running through the living room and over to the back door,

58
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:18,240
where I saw him standing. His tail was between his

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,039
legs and he was staring at the back door intensely.

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,080
I hurried over to him, his gaze not even shifting

61
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,840
from the door. My adrenaline was rushing through me by

62
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,840
now getting really scared. Looking over at the back door

63
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,280
more closely, my heart stopped when I saw water on

64
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,000
the floor inside the house, right by the door. Mat

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,479
I switched on the backyard light, seeing footprints going right

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120
up to the door, then back out and around.

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,719
Speaker 2: The side of the house.

68
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I was really scared and quickly ran to grab my

69
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,719
hunting rifle from the other room. I know it's not

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,159
the most practical self defense weapon, but it was intimidating

71
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:02,000
at least. I felt trapped. Had a disadvantage unknowing of

72
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520
who this person was, where they were, or what they wanted,

73
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,639
but seeing as they tried entering my house, they were

74
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,960
willing to risk their life for whatever it was they

75
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,199
were after. The footprints went off to the right side

76
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,120
of the house, though, so I ran over to that

77
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,480
area of the home and turned on the lights, then

78
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,040
opened the blinds on the window. Just as I opened

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,959
the blinds, I heard loud, heavy footsteps running away from

80
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,879
the window. Sam began barking again, and I tried to

81
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560
look out, but I couldn't see anything through the snow.

82
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:37,800
I stayed on high alert for hours, unsure of what

83
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:42,079
exactly to do. Police in this area weren't exactly able

84
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:44,120
to provide as much service as they may do in

85
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:47,120
more populated areas, so I really was on my own

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,839
for the most part. Thankfully, that seemed to be the

87
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,560
end of it, though I notified the police of the

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,079
incident the next morning, but I never found any answers.

89
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,920
I don't know who it was or what they were

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,480
trying to do. It was extremely creepy, though. It made

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,160
me a bit more uncomfortable with living so far from others.

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,959
But luckily I still have Sam with me, because without

93
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,240
him scaring the intruder away, I don't know if i'd

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,160
be here right now.

95
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: This happened to.

96
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: Me several years ago when I was in college. It

97
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:27,959
was just after finals and winter break was starting, so

98
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,600
they gave us a little under a week to get

99
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,720
our stuff together and leave for the month. I'm not

100
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,439
sure if all colleges did this, but always didn't allow

101
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,279
students to stay in the dorms during large breaks like

102
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:42,279
winter and summer. Anyway, my parents were supposed to come

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
on the very last day possible. I didn't have much

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,480
to pack, so I just waited. During these days, though,

105
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,480
I said bye to all my friends and the whole

106
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,000
building was pretty much emptied immediately. It was winter break,

107
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,639
after all, so everyone was eager to leave. My parents

108
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480
were driving, though, and they had busy lives, so that's

109
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,160
just how it was for me. I honestly didn't mind

110
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,439
the quiet, though, but it was the night before my

111
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:08,319
parents were going to arrive, and basically no students were

112
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:11,879
here anymore. Around ten o'clock, I got ready for bed

113
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,680
and turned off the lights in my room. I don't

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,000
think it was even five minutes later when a knock

115
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,360
came from my door. I jumped, as it kind of

116
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:25,800
freaked me out. I had no idea who could possibly

117
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
be at my door, given all the people I knew

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,160
had already left. Not to mention it was ten pm, regardless,

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,560
I got up and went over to the door. When

120
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,040
I opened it, I was surprised to see a large

121
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,560
young man standing there, bundled up in a winter jacket.

122
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,360
He looked like a student, though. Can I help you

123
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:47,920
with something?

124
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:48,959
Speaker 2: I asked.

125
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: He asked me if i'd seen a guy here. He

126
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,600
didn't give me a name, but rather just described his

127
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,959
features before answering. I asked why I had no idea

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,120
who I was talking to or why he was at

129
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,040
my door, so I wanted some answers first. He stumbled

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,759
out a few words before settling on saying that he

131
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,319
was his roommate and he wasn't sure where he went,

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000
but if he was his roommate, then why didn't he

133
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,040
just give me a name. It all seemed really weird.

134
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:21,839
I wasn't sure how to respond and stood there for

135
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,800
a moment thinking of what to do, before he interrupted

136
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:28,439
my thoughts and asked me something really bizarre. Can I

137
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,720
check if he's in your room? I immediately said no

138
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,040
and began shutting the door. The guy stopped me, though,

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
putting his hand on the other side. He wasn't trying

140
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360
to push it open, but he was pushing hard enough

141
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,439
to keep me from closing it. I told him to

142
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,439
back off as sternly as I could, but he again

143
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,800
asked me to check my room. I didn't know what

144
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:53,199
the fuck was going on, but I knew I needed

145
00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:55,439
to find a way out of this quick before it

146
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,480
escalated to something a lot worse. I only had a

147
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,560
few seconds to think, and I realized in those moments

148
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:04,839
that I'd already messed up by opening the door in

149
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,079
the first place. I guess spending so much time living

150
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:10,399
in a dorm, I never had a reason to fear

151
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:14,600
opening my door. I backed up, letting the guy open

152
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:20,360
it fully. He smiled. I gestured with my hand, allowing

153
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:24,040
him to come inside. I barely had anything in here,

154
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,279
nothing worth stealing if that's what he was after, so

155
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:28,879
I hoped this would get him to be in and

156
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,399
out quickly. As soon as he took a few steps

157
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,679
and passed me in the room, I walked out the

158
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,120
door and into the hallway. He turned and looked at

159
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,120
me as if I had offended him by walking out.

160
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:43,440
I just didn't want to be trapped in a small

161
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:47,480
room with this random, big dude. He glanced around my

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,320
room for a few seconds, then he came back into

163
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,480
the hallway, and without saying another word, he left. I

164
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,559
had no clue what just happened, but the more thought

165
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,960
I gave it, the crazier it seemed. Thinking about his appearance,

166
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,639
I knew it was snowing, so it wasn't odd that

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,879
he was wearing thick winter clothing. But what was odd

168
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,440
was that he seemed to have just come from outside.

169
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,159
His jacket had water droplets from recently melted snow, and

170
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:19,480
his nose was red like he'd been out in the cold,

171
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,360
snowy night for a while. I just didn't understand what

172
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,879
random student would go straight from outside to my dorm

173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720
room on the third floor and knock on my door

174
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,759
at ten pm. Why was he even asking me how

175
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,879
did he know I was here? There's a hundred rooms

176
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,600
in this building and he happened to knock on mine.

177
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,919
Nothing made sense at all, and it kept me up

178
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,120
all night. I even moved my small dresser in front

179
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:49,960
of my door, just in case. Before my parents picked

180
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,399
me up. On the following day, I decided to walk

181
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,759
over to the police department across the street. When I

182
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,159
told them what happened, they seemed to be a lot

183
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,720
more interested than I had expected. I answered a ton

184
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:04,879
of questions until finally they told me what was going

185
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,919
on after ruling me out from being a suspect. A

186
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,879
kid on the floor below mine was missing yesterday morning

187
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,960
when his parents came to pick him up. He had

188
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,720
no roommate, and with the building so empty, it made

189
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:22,039
the case a lot more difficult. Obviously, hearing about the

190
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,600
guy at my dorm last night, they were thinking it

191
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,279
may be a good lead. But days turned to weeks

192
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,879
and then months. I don't know what happened, as it's

193
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,720
been many years. I think back about how that guy

194
00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:38,440
at my room knew that someone was missing and said

195
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,000
it was his roommate, but obviously he was lying. I

196
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,440
don't think he ever turned up either. I also think

197
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240
about why he came to my room specifically, and if

198
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:51,360
he planned to make me go missing as well. He

199
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:53,720
also could have just been some random guy looking for

200
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,399
his friend, but that seems unlikely due to all the coincidences.

201
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:02,360
There's so much I don't know, and unfortunately we'll probably

202
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:11,639
never know. I drive for a local grocery chain in

203
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,120
my area. It's not a full sized semi truck, it's

204
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,320
more of a large van, but I usually have an

205
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,000
eight to ten hour route that goes.

206
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,159
Speaker 2: Between three to four stores.

207
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: It's a pretty simple job that pays nice enough and

208
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:27,480
gives me little to no stress. The only time things

209
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:31,279
do get stressful is in winter. The van struggles in

210
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960
the snowy conditions, and with thousands of dollars worth of

211
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,960
cargo in the back, it puts a bit of stress

212
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,320
on me. This winter had been worse than most, with

213
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,919
more snowfall, ice, and foggy conditions. On this particular day,

214
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,440
I had to stop at four stores. It was snowing

215
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,759
a decent amount, but the plows were keeping up with

216
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:53,320
the roads, so there wasn't too many issues. By the

217
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720
time I finished unloading the last of the cargo. At

218
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,360
the fourth store. It was eight o'clock and the snow

219
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:01,919
had started piling up a bit more on the road. Dark,

220
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,200
snowy and unplowed roads are never a good combo when driving.

221
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,600
One thing to mention as well is that large trucks

222
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,279
and vans have an easier time managing the snow when

223
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,440
they are heavier, giving them more traction. So with no

224
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:18,639
more cargo in the back of my van, I had

225
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,600
to drive extra carefully since the back wheels were lighter

226
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:25,240
and could slide out easily. The start of the drive

227
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:28,000
back went well, but the further route I got towards

228
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,720
the warehouse, the less plowed the roads were. There was

229
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,639
a long stretch of road that leads directly to the warehouse,

230
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,960
and I was worried that it may not be plowed

231
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,320
at all given the state of the main roads. This

232
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,080
wasn't a main entrance to the warehouse lot either, but

233
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:45,200
it was a less busy side route that a lot

234
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,159
of US drivers use frequently when coming in from the south,

235
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,200
as it saves nearly five minutes of driving turning onto

236
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480
this road, though I was surprised to see it was

237
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,039
actually plowed recently, barely any snow on it at all.

238
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:02,600
This was rare because this road only leads to warehouse buildings,

239
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,519
so it wasn't seen as a priority for plowing companies.

240
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,039
Thankful for this, I rolled down the road at a

241
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:12,440
steady pace. I don't remember what I was thinking about,

242
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,960
probably just my plans for the rest of the night.

243
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: After I got off.

244
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: When out of nowhere, the road ahead was packed full

245
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:23,320
of snow. I slammed on my brakes and luckily I

246
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,360
was able to stop just before I hit the snow,

247
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,159
but it definitely got me awake and a bit dazed.

248
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:32,200
I looked up and in the headlights was a completely

249
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:33,600
unplowed road for the.

250
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,159
Speaker 2: Rest of the way up to the warehouse.

251
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I'd never seen a road only plowed half way with

252
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,320
such a sudden stop. There wasn't even anywhere to turn around,

253
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,480
so they must have just plowed all the way up

254
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,919
here and then backed all the way out. I couldn't

255
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,799
believe it. After a minute, I was getting a bit angry, Actually,

256
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,200
who would do something like this?

257
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,639
Speaker 2: I left my van on, but got out and looked

258
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,200
at the road.

259
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: It was really cold and snowy, but I could see

260
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,000
clear tracks from multiple vehicles. I turned and looked down

261
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,200
the road where I came, and not far from the

262
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,679
back of my van, I saw something on the ground.

263
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,679
I walked over and got a closer look. On the

264
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:19,279
road was a bunch of equipment like parts to something.

265
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,360
I didn't know what they were, but they looked expensive

266
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,440
and definitely didn't belong on the road. It seemed like

267
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,320
they'd fallen out of a truck that was heading to

268
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,000
the warehouse. I got back inside my van and started

269
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:34,799
backing out. At the time, I was telling myself that

270
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,000
I was just being dramatic, but I couldn't help but

271
00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:38,799
feel like I was in the middle of some weird

272
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,159
crime scene. When I made it off the road, I

273
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,519
pulled around and drove the extra minutes around to the

274
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:48,600
front of the warehouse and took the main entrance. As

275
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:51,480
I was pulling up, though, my work phone started buzzing.

276
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,799
The night manager at the warehouse was calling me, which

277
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,799
was extremely rare. I picked up and they immediately asked

278
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:00,840
if I was okay and told me to take the

279
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,159
main entrance and not the back route. I just said

280
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,879
okay since I was already at the warehouse, but then

281
00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:08,720
I went inside to talk to him and figure out

282
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,840
what was going on. Apparently he had just gotten word

283
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:15,519
in from a neighboring warehouse that one of their drivers

284
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:17,559
got jumped and robbed on the back road.

285
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,519
Speaker 2: He said the police were already on their way as well.

286
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: Hearing that everything made sense in my head, and I

287
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,720
fell silent for a second, then told him what happened

288
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:31,120
to me. It didn't take long for the guys to

289
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,279
get caught, though, because the expensive equipment they stole turned

290
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:38,559
out to be highly secured and had internal trackers. It

291
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:41,080
was a group of young men who admitted to making

292
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,279
the road into a trap where they would follow a

293
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,879
truck once they turned in, and then block their only

294
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,759
exit once they reached the dead end. Then, of course

295
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,840
they'd rob the cargo and hold the driver at gunpoint

296
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,360
while they did it. I was creeped out for a while,

297
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,799
unsure of what to think. I'd never had something like

298
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,600
that happened to me before, so it's strange for me

299
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,879
to think that if I had arrived only a few

300
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,600
minutes earlier, I would have been caught in a trap

301
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:09,440
and had a gun to my head.
