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, let's going to be a wild ride.
Speaker 1: First disappearance Jeremiah Foco. Thirty six year old Jeremiah Focal
Speaker 1: left his apartment headed for his job as a software
Speaker 1: engineer at Oracle in Bellevue, Washington, on July twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, only can never be seen or heard from again.
Speaker 2: Jeremiah grew up in.
Speaker 1: Standish, Michigan, a small town with around fourteen hundred residents,
Speaker 1: and graduated from the Stanish Sterling Central High School. In
Speaker 1: his spare time, Jeremiah enjoyed golfing and snowboarding, and Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: parents still called the small town home. On July twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, Jeremiah phoned his boss at Oracle, telling him
Speaker 1: that he was coming into the office to get his
Speaker 1: laptop prepared, but he never arrived. This was extremely out
Speaker 1: of character for Jeremiah with his father, Edward, telling ABC News,
Speaker 1: it makes no sense. Something had to have happened. As
Speaker 1: the hours pass, his boss waited for Jeremiah to arrive
Speaker 1: for that moment never came. His boss then contacted Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: family to let them know what was going on and
Speaker 1: to ask if they had seen him or had contact
Speaker 1: with him. His family was shocked to hear that Jeremiah
Speaker 1: had shown up to work, and they in turn contacted
Speaker 1: the police in Seattle. The Seattle Police Department took Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: disappearance very seriously from the get go and began retracing
Speaker 1: Jeremiah's last known movements. CCTV cameras showed Jeremiah pulling into
Speaker 1: the parking garage or his apartment complex at twelve o
Speaker 1: seven am on July twenty second, twenty fifteen. This wasn't
Speaker 1: the only piece of cct footage that the Seattle police uncovered.
Speaker 1: Later that day, a man matching Jeremiah's description is seen
Speaker 1: walking down the stairs of the International District Bus Station,
Speaker 1: the bus station that Jeremiah used to get to work.
Speaker 1: The man can be seen walking down the stairs carrying
Speaker 1: a backpack. Friends and family there convinced that the man
Speaker 1: in the footage is Jeremiah. The close friend of Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: Jocelyn Combra, told two thirteen Fox News, it's nice to
Speaker 1: see him.
Speaker 2: 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 2: No further sightings of him.
Speaker 1: The Seattle Police have never publicly confirmed towards the man
Speaker 1: in the footage is indeed Jeremiah renee Tarchan, Jeremiah's mother,
Speaker 1: told ABC News, every day I think that this can't
Speaker 1: be real. Yet every day I wake up and it's real.
Speaker 1: He got up, got ready for work, and fell off
Speaker 1: the planet. I just hope him, pray every day that
Speaker 1: there will be some sign. On August twenty fifth, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: Joscelyn Combra, who runs the Facebook page Missing Jeremiah foc
Speaker 1: posted all known activity including last phone call, financial activity, employment,
Speaker 1: presence of vehicle use, high cloud use, bus pass use,
Speaker 1: even a visual by the survellans of the parking lot
Speaker 1: atm And apartment complex. All activity ended by midnight the
Speaker 1: morning of Wednesday, July twenty second, twenty fifteen, on the
Speaker 1: day that he disappeared. For whatever reason, Jeremiah did not
Speaker 1: use his bus pass. He is on Reddit have speculated
Speaker 1: that the person seen in the bus station is Jeremiah.
Speaker 1: Let's speculate that the ticket system was down and therefore
Speaker 1: his pass would have not registered any activity. As Jeremiah
Speaker 1: has been missing for some time, he had not paid
Speaker 1: his rent and his family were subsequently served with an eviction,
Speaker 1: noted in a further post dated January tenth, twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: on the Facebook page Joscelyn wrote. As mentioned in the
Speaker 1: previous updates, a group of his friends came with trucks
Speaker 1: and waited on the curve for his belongings to be
Speaker 1: placed outside the u Watjemiah Village apartments. The follow normal
Speaker 1: eviction protocol. We es savaged all his personal belongings such
Speaker 1: as documents, clothes, memorabilia, and some household items, but we
Speaker 1: weren't able to store at larger furniture. Currently, his belongings
Speaker 1: are stored in the garage in one of his friend's houses.
Speaker 1: They are slowly going through his belongings to search for clothes,
Speaker 1: but nothing yet. We found the shirt and shorts he
Speaker 1: was positively idd in in the apartment surveillance video in
Speaker 1: his dirty.
Speaker 2: Hamper, so we know that he changed.
Speaker 1: Since twelve seven am Wednesday, July twenty second, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: we continue to call his cell phone and the number
Speaker 1: has now been disconnected. Bizarrely, after Jeremiah's disappearance, his car
Speaker 1: was found behind his apartment on sixth Avenue South. Not
Speaker 1: as unknown whether Jeremiah or another person moved his car
Speaker 1: out of the parking garage. Since their son's disappearance, Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: parents have been heavily involved with the Seattle Police Department
Speaker 1: and blew out to Seattle to help with the search
Speaker 1: for his parents also provided DNA samples to the police
Speaker 1: department to the identification of remains would be faster in
Speaker 1: the event that Jeremiah was found. Around twenty to twenty
Speaker 1: five of Jeremiah's closest friends and family dedicate their time
Speaker 1: to keeping the investigation alive and undertaking their own investigation.
Speaker 1: The Seattle Police Department does not suspect that Jeremiah met
Speaker 1: with foul play. However, they have stated that his case
Speaker 1: is still active and open. Jeremiah Focal was thirty six
Speaker 1: years old when he was last seen on July twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. He's 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: glasses for reading. If you have any information about the
Speaker 1: mysterious disappearance of Jeremiah Focal, you are asked to please

Speaker 1: two five five zero one one. Geene Johnson, seventy year
Speaker 1: old Jean Johnson lived a quiet and peaceful life in Capitan,
Speaker 1: New Mexico, in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: Seven years earlier, in.
Speaker 1: Twenty twelve, Jean's beloved husband had passed away, and since
Speaker 1: then there was a hold in her heart that only
Speaker 1: one man could ever fild. Jean found it incredibly difficult
Speaker 1: to move on and wore a pendant filled with his
Speaker 1: ashes on a necklace close to her heart, as well
Speaker 1: as wearing her wedding ring. By all accounts, Jeane was
Speaker 1: a loving grandmother, mother, and wife, and devoted her time
Speaker 1: to play with her grandchildren and talking to her friends
Speaker 1: in town. She also enjoyed gardening and taking life at
Speaker 1: a slope pace. So when Gene mysteriously vanished into thin
Speaker 1: air and failed to make contact with her daughter, Heidi
Speaker 1: her family, he knew something was very wrong. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: May twenty sixth, twenty nineteen, Jean was dog sitting for
Speaker 1: a friend who was out of town, and at some
Speaker 1: point during the day, Jean snapped a sephie of her
Speaker 1: and the dog and sent it to her daughter, Heidi.
Speaker 1: Heid He told Dateline, she sent me a picture of
Speaker 1: her and the dog relaxing. My mother was my best friend.
Speaker 1: We were very close. We talked at least three times
Speaker 1: a day. This is the last known contact from Jane,
Speaker 1: and after this she mysteriously vanished into thin air. On Monday,
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh of May twenty nineteen, Heidi attempted to
Speaker 1: call her mother that evening, but got no answer. In
Speaker 1: an NBC News report, Heidie tells reporter Andrew Cavalier that
Speaker 1: she was working all day and her ten year old
Speaker 1: son had a friend over that night, so calling her
Speaker 1: mother and slipped her mind until the evening. Then she
Speaker 1: tried to call her again on Tuesday, the twenty eighth
Speaker 1: of May twenty nineteen, but again received no answer. Idie
Speaker 1: became concerned that her mother wasn't answering her phone, and
Speaker 1: the next phone call she received turned her world upside down.
Speaker 1: The friend that Geene had been dog sitting for called
Speaker 1: Heidi to let her know that Geene had never dropped
Speaker 1: the dog off on Monday, the twenty seventh of May
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. As played, this phone call confirmed Hatti's suspicions
Speaker 1: that something was terribly wrong, and she dropped everything to
Speaker 1: rush over to her mother's house. She told NBC News
Speaker 1: that's when I'm panning. I just felt like something was
Speaker 1: terribly wrong. I had a bad feeling the entire way.
Speaker 1: As Heidi pulled up outside of her mother's home, located
Speaker 1: on Towey Road in cap Ten, New Mexico, her stomach sang.
Speaker 2: The gate into the driveway was.
Speaker 1: Locked, and Jeane's car was also locked and parked on
Speaker 1: the driveway. Id he peered into the car and saw
Speaker 1: her mother's phone in person the but there was no
Speaker 1: sign of her mother. The front door was described as
Speaker 1: being slightly ajar, but nothing in the home appeared to
Speaker 1: be out of the ordinary. As Heidi stepped inside, she
Speaker 1: found the dog that her mother had.
Speaker 2: Been dog sitting.
Speaker 1: The dog was fine, saved for a few accidents it
Speaker 1: had around the house. Still, there was no sign of gene.
Speaker 1: Iidi checked her mother's home, hoping that she would find
Speaker 1: her somewhere. As she moved throughout the apartment, she noticed
Speaker 1: that one thing was missing. Through fifty seven caliber pistol
Speaker 1: that Jean kept in the house for protection. I'd he
Speaker 1: told investigators that her mother would only use the gun
Speaker 1: if she was scared. Initially, investigators feared that Jean had
Speaker 1: used the gun to take her own life. I'd he
Speaker 1: called the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office shortly after and reported
Speaker 1: 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 forgiveful, but had no history of
Speaker 1: wandering off. Seventy year old Jean Johnson was last heard

Speaker 1: at four to five times per week. On April twentieth,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Lynn spent the day volunteering at the thrift
Speaker 1: store before returning to her home in the twenty three
Speaker 1: thousand block of Castle Fall River Road, an unpopulated but
Speaker 1: beautiful area. According to her son, Lynn walked through the
Speaker 1: door at around four point thirty pm, said hello to
Speaker 1: her husband, Bob, and grabbed a light beer out.
Speaker 2: Of the fridge.
Speaker 1: Lynn left the house once again, but this time to
Speaker 1: walk the dog Lucy that they had been taken care
Speaker 1: of for a few days. Lucy, the dog belonged to
Speaker 1: Lynn's stepdaughter and Bob's biological daughter, and according to articles,
Speaker 1: they had been looking after her for a few days
Speaker 1: while the owner was unavailable. Lynn and Lucy headed southeast
Speaker 1: from the home and into the woods, and it would
Speaker 1: before agonizing days until there was any sign of eitheringden.
Speaker 1: After fifteen minutes had passed and Lynn still hadn't turned 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 seemed 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 with the
Speaker 1: Fall River Mills Fire Department and asked for their assistance
Speaker 1: in finding Lynn.
Speaker 2: Her brother in law.
Speaker 1: Allt sprung into action and along with Bob home to
Speaker 1: the area for an hour, but.
Speaker 2: To no avail.
Speaker 1: Realizing that something was very wrong at this point, Bob
Speaker 1: picked up the phone and called the Shasta County Sheriff's
Speaker 1: Department to officially report his wife missing. By this point,
Speaker 1: Lynn's family had been made aware of her sudden and
Speaker 1: mysterious disappearance and came from all over the US to
Speaker 1: help with the search. The local community soon caught wind
Speaker 1: of Lynn's disappearance, and in a Facebook post, the Sheriff's
Speaker 1: department said the Shasta County Search and Rescue was activated
Speaker 1: and numerous resources were deployed to the area to aid
Speaker 1: in the search from his Palmer. These resources included dirt riders,
Speaker 1: mounted posseing ground team, jeepers, and mountain Rescue. The Shasta
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office will continue to search for his palmer
Speaker 1: throughout the night. For four days, the Shasta County and
Speaker 1: the team was mentioned above searched for Lynne, but there
Speaker 1: was just no sign up.
Speaker 2: Then on the.
Speaker 1: Fourth day, April twenty fourth, something miraculous happened. Abra called
Speaker 1: the event and an NBC interview, saying suddenly the missing
Speaker 1: dog came back.
Speaker 2: On day four. They immediately brought her into the house.
Speaker 1: There was food and water for and she went and
Speaker 1: drank some water. But it was weird because she didn't
Speaker 1: eat any of the food. Another day passed and sadly,
Speaker 1: the search was officially called off after there was no
Speaker 1: evidence found. Lynn's family weren't given up that easily and
Speaker 1: brought in the Mendocino County Sniffer Dog in it to
Speaker 1: see if their dogs would be able to shed some
Speaker 1: light on her mysterious disappearance. According to Dave, Lynn's son,
Speaker 1: the dog tractor sent along her main walking route out
Speaker 1: to an abandoned trailer, into a dirt road, and then
Speaker 1: out to the main road. The scent disappeared at the
Speaker 1: main road. Since Lynn's mysterious disappearance in April twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: her family had 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 woke often and only started to forget the little things, Plus.
Speaker 2: The dog knew the route as well.
Speaker 1: Lynn's family are desperate for answers and her offering a
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars reward for any information that leads to
Speaker 1: her whereabouts. Dave is adamant that his mother did not
Speaker 1: leave of her own accord, telling NBC, there's one thing
Speaker 1: I do know. She didn't take off on.
Speaker 2: Her own will.
Speaker 1: So her body is still out there, and the dog
Speaker 1: stayed until she passed away, and we just haven't found
Speaker 1: her body yet. Or someone took her and either they
Speaker 1: took the dog with her, or the dog followed them and.
Speaker 2: Then came back.
Speaker 1: They could have disposed of her, or the rare cases
Speaker 1: that they.
Speaker 2: Still have her.
Speaker 1: Laura Lynn Lynn Palmer was last seen on April twentieth,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. She has described as a white female with
Speaker 1: brown hair and brown eyes. Both of her ears appierced,
Speaker 1: and she has an appendectomy scar on her abdomen. Lynn
Speaker 1: was last seen wearing a T shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes,
Speaker 1: and earrings, and was possibly carrying a can of light
Speaker 1: beer and was wearing her glasses that have thick lenses.
Speaker 1: If you have any information, your urge to contact the
Speaker 1: Shasta County Sheriff's Department at five three zero two four
Speaker 1: five sixty five four zero. If you wish to remain anonymous,
Speaker 1: you can contact the Secret Witness Program at five three
Speaker 1: zero two four three two three one nine. You can
Speaker 1: submit an anonymous tip online at the North cal Elliace
Speaker 1: for the missing. The link for this will be provided
Speaker 1: in the description.
Speaker 2: Number four.
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. The
Speaker 1: Penie's case garnered international media attention, while Stacy's case has
Speaker 1: been largely overshadowed and forgotten. About it, but here at
Speaker 1: Missing Persons Mysteries. We want to make sure that we
Speaker 1: give Stacy's case as much exposure as possible and extend
Speaker 1: our condolences to her family and pray that they find
Speaker 1: closures soon.
Speaker 2: The details in.
Speaker 1: Stacy's case are few and far between. Nicole, Stacy's daughter,
Speaker 1: says that she last spoke to her mother on October twelfth.
Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen, and knew that she was going to.
Speaker 1: A housewarming party in Lewiston, California, on October fifteenth, twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: By October sixteenth, all activity on Stacy's bank cards had stopped,
Speaker 1: and as Halloween rolled around, she failed to make contact
Speaker 1: with her family, which was extremely out of character. Her
Speaker 1: daughter also told Crime Watch Daily that Stacy's landline had
Speaker 1: been disconnected, which deeply concerned the family. At the time
Speaker 1: of her disappearance, Stacy was living with her boyfriend Tony Brand,
Speaker 1: and Brand has never commented on why he did reports
Speaker 1: girlfriend missing or make contact with her family if he
Speaker 1: knew she was okay in the interim period before.
Speaker 2: She was reported missing.
Speaker 1: Stacy's daughter, Nicole told news media that a month before
Speaker 1: her mother was steriously disappeared, she'd called her grandmother in tears,
Speaker 1: saying that Brand had been cheating on her and that
Speaker 1: the two had gotten into an argument.
Speaker 2: Stacy later followed up.
Speaker 1: With her family, claiming that the two had made up,
Speaker 1: then a month later.
Speaker 2: She vanished.
Speaker 1: Investigators are keeping very tight lipped about the investigation into
Speaker 1: Stacy's disappearance, and although her case was featured on an
Speaker 1: episode of Crime Watch Daily a Few Leads of Service.
Speaker 1: One interesting thing to note about this episode, which is
Speaker 1: available to watch on YouTube, is that Brand spoke with
Speaker 1: the producers of the show but refused to be on camera,
Speaker 1: instead opting.
Speaker 2: To just give a statement. Now, this is in no
Speaker 2: way saying that he's.
Speaker 1: Guilty, but it is an important thing to note. The
Speaker 1: statement provided by Brand, read by his lawyer Douglas Gardner,
Speaker 1: said Tony was in a loving, intimate relationship with Stacy
Speaker 1: which ended with as much mystery to.
Speaker 2: Him as anyone else.
Speaker 1: He is fully cooperated with the investigators in this case
Speaker 1: and is afraid for Stacy as.
Speaker 2: Any of her other loves.
Speaker 1: Law enforcement confirmed that Brand had been cooperative during their
Speaker 1: initial investigation, but the classes that is lawyer Douglas Gardner
Speaker 1: be present when he took a light detector test. The
Speaker 1: results of these tests have never been made public, and
Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't put too much weight or validity into.
Speaker 2: Those results anybody. After all, there is a.
Speaker 1: Reason that light detector tests aren't admissible in most courts
Speaker 1: across the world. A KRCR article written in November twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: through years after Stacy's mysterious disappearance, mentions Angie Foresland, a
Speaker 1: search manager who was hired by Stacy's family following her disappearance.
Speaker 1: The article reads, angi Foresland, the search manager hired by
Speaker 1: the Smart family to find Stacy, told KRCR in an
Speaker 1: interview of twenty sixteen she believes he's a suspect in
Speaker 1: her disappearance. According to Forceland and the family, Smart's boyfriend
Speaker 1: changed the carpet in his home near Lewiston Lake after
Speaker 1: Smart was reported missile. He also told the family she
Speaker 1: had moved out. Stacy Smart last made contact with her
Speaker 1: family on October twelfth, twenty sixteen, have been seen or
Speaker 1: heard from since. Investigators have not stated where they believe
Speaker 1: she has met with foul play, and the investigation is
Speaker 1: currently ongoing. Stacy Smart is described as a white female
Speaker 1: with blond hair. And blue eyes. At the time her disappearance,
Speaker 1: her hair was platinum blonde and in a pixie style cut.
Speaker 1: Stacy also has a tattoo of a red lotus blown
Speaker 1: on her lower back and likes to wear hats. Stacy's
Speaker 1: family are desperate for answers and have teamed up with
Speaker 1: a Secret Witness Program to offer a ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: reward for any information that leads to her. Her family's
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 three zero
Speaker 1: two four three two three one nine number three. Aaron
Speaker 1: Marie Gilbert twenty four year old Aaron Marie Gilbert had
Speaker 1: the world at her feet, and her family described her
Speaker 1: as a smart and responsible young woman who was athletic
Speaker 1: but also knew how to glam it up. Aaron loved
Speaker 1: playing basketball. At being six foot tall, she was perfect
Speaker 1: for the sport. Her family commented that she was always happy,
Speaker 1: someone who was looking forward to all of her tomorrows,
Speaker 1: But sadly, Aaron's seemingly endless supplies of tomorrow were cut short,
Speaker 1: and she has been officially listed as a missing person
Speaker 1: since July first, nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Four, Aaron moved from her native San Francisco, California, and Everett, Washington,
Speaker 1: to Anchorage, Alaska. Darren had gotten herself a job as
Speaker 1: a nanny, and by nineteen ninety five she was living
Speaker 1: with her sister, Stephanie and had enrolled herself in beauty school,
Speaker 1: which was due to start in the autumn of nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five. When asked about the drastic move from the
Speaker 1: mainland USA to Alaska, her sister Stephanie told NBC News,
Speaker 1: my husband travel a lot for work, and I was
Speaker 1: alone so much of the time, so I told Aaron
Speaker 1: she should come and stay with me in Alaska. She'd
Speaker 1: been living in San Francisco with her dad since the
Speaker 1: day that she arrived in Anchorage. Aaron turned many heads,
Speaker 1: and her friends and family described her as a beautiful
Speaker 1: young woman. On June thirtieth, nineteen ninety five, while out
Speaker 1: at about, Aaron met a man named David Combs at
Speaker 1: a bar called Chilcoot Charlie's, and the pair immediately hit
Speaker 1: it off. The two had so much in common and
Speaker 1: so much chemistry that they agreed to meet the next
Speaker 1: day on July first.
Speaker 2: Ninety five for a proper date. July first rolled.
Speaker 1: Around and David picked up Aaron and drove them out
Speaker 1: to the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska. The two
Speaker 1: walked around the fair, and witnesses recall seeing Aaron and
Speaker 1: David had a beer garden. Just before six pm.
Speaker 2: The two left the.
Speaker 1: Beer garden and made their way over to David's car,
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't start. David had left the car lights
Speaker 1: on while they were at the fair, which had completely
Speaker 1: drained his battery. David turned to Aaron and told him
Speaker 1: that he would walk to his friend's house, which was nearby,
Speaker 1: and ask him to come and help him out. He
Speaker 1: then explained to the investigators that he walked around Girdwood
Speaker 1: and the surrounding area for two hours before realizing he
Speaker 1: couldn't find his friend's house. When David realized he couldn't
Speaker 1: find this house as initially planned, he made his way
Speaker 1: back to the fairground. As he walked toward his car,
Speaker 1: his heart sank. There was no sign of erin anywhere.
Speaker 1: In a rash decision. He tried his car one more time,
Speaker 1: and amazingly, this time the engine turned over and it started.
Speaker 1: Knowing that something still wasn't right, he traversed around the
Speaker 1: fair intil one am, looking for his date before heading home.
Speaker 1: According to Eron's family, David didn't tell them she was
Speaker 1: missing until seven am the next morning. On July second,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, Stephanie told NBC News he didn't tell
Speaker 1: anyone she was missing until he called me around seven
Speaker 1: am the next morning. He said, he called to make
Speaker 1: sure Aaron made it home okay. He was very casual
Speaker 1: about it. As Stephanie peered into Aaron's room and saw
Speaker 1: that it was empty, her heart immediately sank into her stomach.
Speaker 1: She too, since that something was wrong, so she called
Speaker 1: the rest of the family and they drove to the
Speaker 1: fairground to conduct their own search. Aaron's family called the
Speaker 1: fairground and the surrounding woods and even had Aaron's name
Speaker 1: broadcasted from the stage the Kid, something you'd see when
Speaker 1: a child warners off from their parents. But Aaron never
Speaker 1: appeared from the woods, and soon the Alaska State Troopers
Speaker 1: became involved and an official missing person's case was open
Speaker 1: with using search dogs and helicopters. The troopers began covering
Speaker 1: the surrounding area and looking for Aaron, but as if
Speaker 1: she had simply vanished into thin air. The state troopers
Speaker 1: have stressed Aaron's case is a missing person case and
Speaker 1: not a homicide investigation at this time. David Colmbs, the
Speaker 1: man that Aaron was last scene with on July first,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, has been cleared as a suspect and
Speaker 1: the authorities claim that he has been cooperative throughout the
Speaker 1: entire ordeal. Aaron Marie Gilbert was last seen on July first,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, at the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska.
Speaker 1: She's described as a white female with brown hair and
Speaker 1: brown eyes. She has a tattoo of a large blue
Speaker 1: flower on her chest, and at the time of her disappearance,
Speaker 1: her hair was cut short into a bob. Aeron is
Speaker 1: around six feet tall and weighs about one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five pounds. She was last seen wearing a black
Speaker 1: leather jacket, a black and white striped shirt, black.
Speaker 2: Jeans, and brown mountain boots.
Speaker 1: May fourth, of twenty twenty one would have been Aaron's
Speaker 1: fiftieth birthday, and her family are desperate for answers. There's
Speaker 1: currently a thirty thousand dollars reward for information, and Stephanie,
Speaker 1: her sister, runs the Facebook page called Binding.
Speaker 2: 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 to two
Speaker 1: eight seven to zero zero or nine zero seven two.
Speaker 2: Six nine five four nine seven.
Speaker 1: Number two. Stephen Kraft. February fifteenth, twenty twenty one, residents
Speaker 1: of Benton Township, Michigan and beyond huddled together in the
Speaker 1: Chris Bear to hold the vigil to mark the twentieth
Speaker 1: anniversary of Stephen Earl Craft two's disappearance in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one. Fred Kralzik, who lives on Holly Street, the
Speaker 1: same street that twelve year old Stephen disappeared from, told WNDU,
Speaker 1: I would hope that if someone did know something out there,
Speaker 1: that they would say something. Hopefully somehow he returns. If
Speaker 1: not well, and if he's not here with us anymore,
Speaker 1: then all I know is his family will see him
Speaker 1: in heaven. If he's not here anymore. He knows that
Speaker 1: for sure. On February fifteenth, two thousand and one, twelve
Speaker 1: year old Stephen Kraft left his home on the dead
Speaker 1: end street named Holly Street to play with the two
Speaker 1: family dogs, and witnesses recall seeing him on the twenty
Speaker 1: one hundred block of Holly Drive between seven pm and
Speaker 1: eight pm that night. Stephen happily played outside and had
Speaker 1: promised his parents that he would be back home in
Speaker 1: time for supper. When Stephen never came through the door.
Speaker 1: According to Chief Smidt of the Benton Township Police Department,
Speaker 1: Stephen's mother called police in the early morning hours of
Speaker 1: the sixteenth of February. Our protocol was tipping. We went
Speaker 1: out and took the report, and since it was someone
Speaker 1: that young of an age, we gathered information who last
Speaker 1: saw him. Sometimes kids do run away, but he hadn't
Speaker 1: run away before. In the days leading up to his disappearance,
Speaker 1: Stephen had been suspended from Hull Elementary School for five
Speaker 1: days after he defended himself during a scuffle with another student.
Speaker 1: Both the headmaster and Stephen's parents said that this behavior.
Speaker 2: Was very out of character for.
Speaker 1: It, and that he was usually a quiet, well behaved
Speaker 1: student who kept his head down. After Stephen had been
Speaker 1: reported missing, a wide scale search began for him, and
Speaker 1: this search was spurred by a sense of urgency not
Speaker 1: just because of his age, but because the temperature had
Speaker 1: dropped well below freezing and Stephen wasn't wearing a hat
Speaker 1: or gloves. Police, Stephen's family, and the local community combed
Speaker 1: the area looking for any sign of the twelve year
Speaker 1: old and caught a break when they discovered Stephen's icy
Speaker 1: footsteps walking over a frozen pond near his home on
Speaker 1: Holly Street. According to the Charlie Project, these footsteps led
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: How had a six month old puppy managed to.
Speaker 1: Survive the freezing temperatures and travel over a mile and
Speaker 1: a half away. Did this possibly be an indication that
Speaker 1: someone took Stephen and the dogs only to let them
Speaker 1: loose because they were making too much noise, or to
Speaker 1: throw off the investigation. Throughout the years, multiple searches have
Speaker 1: been performed for Stephen. In two thousand and one, authority
Speaker 1: searched Blue Creek and the pond near Harbor Haven, ministers
Speaker 1: have found nothing. In two thousand and two, the search
Speaker 1: was conducted in a wooded area near the Southwestern Michigan
Speaker 1: Regional Airport, but again no trace of Stephen could be found.
Speaker 1: There was a reported sighting of Stephen in two thousand
Speaker 1: and four, where a wind was called. The FBI believed
Speaker 1: that a young man matching Steven's description was at the
Speaker 1: Midway Airport in Chicago. This sighting, unfortunately turned out to
Speaker 1: be a case of mistaken identity, and since then the
Speaker 1: cases remained cold with such little evidence all we are
Speaker 1: left with their theories. The Benton Township Police Department has
Speaker 1: said that they investigated the idea that Stephen ran away
Speaker 1: from home, as well.
Speaker 2: As the idea that he was abducted.
Speaker 1: It does seem very unlikely, though, that Stephen ran away,
Speaker 1: especially on a cold February evening when he promised his
Speaker 1: parents he would be home in time for supper. The
Speaker 1: FBI stated in their report that Stephen was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and has ties there, as well as Lectionington, Kentucky. It's
Speaker 1: also possible that Stephen died due to exposure or an
Speaker 1: accident on that evening, but without a body or evidence,
Speaker 1: all we can do is speculate. Stephen's family have never
Speaker 1: given up hope and are asking for the public's assistance.
Speaker 2: In his case.
Speaker 1: Stephen earl Craft the second, also listed sometimes as Steven
Speaker 1: earl Craft Junior, was last seen on February fifteenth, two
Speaker 1: thousand and one, in the twenty one hundred block of
Speaker 1: Holly Drive in Ben Harbor, Michigan. Stephen is described as
Speaker 1: white male with light brown hair and green eyes. Is
Speaker 1: a small red birthmark on his left rib. At the
Speaker 1: time he went missing, he was around five foot one
Speaker 1: to five foot two inches.
Speaker 2: Tall and around one hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Stephen was last seen wearing a white, tan and brown
Speaker 1: striped shirt, tan parachute fans, an Aukland, purple Charlotte hornet's jacket,
Speaker 1: and black lugs boots. If still live today, Stephen would
Speaker 1: be thirty two years old. Anyone with any information has
Speaker 1: urged to contact the Benton Township Police Department at two
Speaker 1: sixty nine nine two six A two two one and
Speaker 1: listen for the extension for Steven's tip line. Alternatively, you
Speaker 1: can contact the FBI's Saint Joseph, Michigan office on three
Speaker 1: one three nine sixty five two three two three number one.
Speaker 1: Shanna Boitou, 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.
Speaker 1: So it reads a message from the father of missing
Speaker 1: twenty two year old Shannon Boyite. Her family describe her
Speaker 1: as a devoted mother and loving daughter and are desperate
Speaker 1: for answers as to what happened.
Speaker 2: On that June day. In twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: On that day, Shannon left her home in shipp 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, drive through Minneapolis, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada.
Speaker 2: And then into California.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: According to her father.
Speaker 1: Naturally, after being under house arrest, Shannon was put on
Speaker 1: parole and assigned to parole offs.
Speaker 2: According to the Charlie Project.
Speaker 1: Shenna had been caught drinking in June twenty sixteen and
Speaker 1: had an outstanding warn 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, Shanna 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.
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: is completely off route. There may be another route to
Speaker 1: California that would take you through or near this area,
Speaker 1: but 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 recorded seeing Shanna and
Speaker 1: her boyfriend arguing with the car around at three pm,
Speaker 1: and in the heat of the argument, Janna 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.
Speaker 2: At the time.
Speaker 1: It's unclear on how the couple were planning on funding
Speaker 1: that trip to California and whether Shanna's boyfriend was going
Speaker 1: to pick up the tab. Shanna has no connections to
Speaker 1: Saint Cloud, Minnesota, and her family are now asking for
Speaker 1: the public's help. Shanna Boito was last seen in Saint Cloud,
Speaker 1: Minnesota on June twenty second, twenty sixteen, as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: near Interstate ninety four in County Road seventy four. She's
Speaker 1: described as a white female with brown hair and brown
Speaker 1: eyes and has a tattoo of two sparrows on her
Speaker 1: hips and a tattoo of the name Millie with NOI.
Speaker 2: Behind her right ear.
Speaker 1: Jan also has a lip and belly button piercing and

Speaker 1: part three of our unbelievably Bizarre and Creepy Disappearances series.
Speaker 1: These are some of the strangest disappearances we've come across
Speaker 1: in all our research, and let's begin Number five. Chance Ingelbert,
Speaker 1: twenty five year old Chance Engelbert was last seen leaving
Speaker 1: the seven hundred block of O Street in Gary, Nebraska,
Speaker 1: at around seven thirty pm on Saturday, July sixth, twenty nineteen. Chance,
Speaker 1: his wife Bailey, and their son Banks, who lived in Wyoming,
Speaker 1: had spent the sunny Saturday visiting Bailey's family, with articles reporting.
Speaker 2: That they spent the day golfing.
Speaker 1: Chance had recently accepted a new job with a propane
Speaker 1: company after he had recently been laid off from his
Speaker 1: previous job at a coal mine. Bailey's family didn't seem
Speaker 1: to like this job move. Chance, his father in law,
Speaker 1: and other members of Bailey's family all began arguing.
Speaker 2: Bailey drove over to pick Chance up.
Speaker 1: Before heading to her grandparents' house to collect a few things.
Speaker 1: During the car ride, Chance became upset again and asked
Speaker 1: Bailey to drive him home, to which she said no.
Speaker 1: Chance then called up one of his friends for a
Speaker 1: ride home. Sadly for Chance, the friend wasn't able to help,
Speaker 1: so Chance left the seven hundred block of O Street
Speaker 1: and began to walk towards Torrington, Wyoming. According to Google Maps,
Speaker 1: the Chance was planning to walk the whole way. It
Speaker 1: would have taken him close to twelve hours on foot.
Speaker 1: There were two routes he could have taken if he
Speaker 1: was in a car, both ending up on the US
Speaker 1: twenty six w and taking around forty three minutes. Bailey
Speaker 1: told investigators that she last spoke to Chance on the
Speaker 1: phone at seven forty six pm, and he told her
Speaker 1: that he was walking south, Whereas friends told investigators that
Speaker 1: they had spoken to Chance around the same time, and
Speaker 1: he told him he was headed north towards Torrington, Wyoming.
Speaker 2: At nine oh eight pm.
Speaker 1: Chance's phone sent a final text that was just a
Speaker 1: string of emojis and numbers. Chance's mother, Dawn, said that
Speaker 1: Chance never used emojis and speculates that the text was
Speaker 1: sent by someone else. At nine pm that evening, a
Speaker 1: large thunderstorm rolled through the area, and Bailey and her
Speaker 1: family assumed that Chance had found shelter somewhere and would
Speaker 1: be in contact with him soon. Bailey's grandfather went out
Speaker 1: looking for Chance, but found no sign of the man.
Speaker 1: Bailey told an 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 penged 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 Engelbert 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 sure 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 down wrote, We'd like to
Speaker 1: take a moment to thank you all for prayers, calls,
Speaker 1: and messages. We're 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.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Time will tell whether these remains belong to Chase or
Speaker 1: where the family will have to keep on fighting for answers.

Speaker 1: Sonny Shramik Eighteen year old Sonny Shramik left her home
Speaker 1: in Trenton, Nebraska, on April twentieth, twenty nineteen, and told
Speaker 1: her mother, follow Johnson, that she was going on a
Speaker 1: road trip with a male acquaintance. This person was not
Speaker 1: named in publications. However, a member of Sonny's family named
Speaker 1: him as forty two year old Floyd Clifford Coats, who
Speaker 1: goes by cliff The Nature of their relationship is currently unknown.
Speaker 1: Sonny is married, However, the identity of Sonny's husband has
Speaker 1: been withheld from the public and her parents have not
Speaker 1: discussed this detail at length. One article notes her parents
Speaker 1: say she married young, believing it was a good choice,
Speaker 1: but went through more growing and trying to do things right,
Speaker 1: so it was currently living with her mother Paula to
Speaker 1: sort things out. Paula watched her daughter get into the
Speaker 1: two thousand and four white Ford Explorer with Iowa license
Speaker 1: plate HGJ three four one, and then watching her daughter
Speaker 1: and the unknown man drove away. Little did Paula know
Speaker 1: that this will be the last time she would ever
Speaker 1: see her daughter, who she described as bright and artistic.
Speaker 1: At around one pm on April twentieth, twenty nineteen, Sonny
Speaker 1: called her mom, Paula, to let her know that everything
Speaker 1: was going well and that they were possibly headed for Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 1: The pair talked and Sonny told Paula that she was
Speaker 1: in Holdridge, Nebraska and that everything was good. The KSMB
Speaker 1: local article states that Sonny had called using a borrored
Speaker 1: phone because she left hers at home before embarking on
Speaker 1: the trip.
Speaker 2: On the evening of.
Speaker 1: April twentieth, twenty nineteen, Paula received a horrific phone call.
Speaker 2: On the other end of the line.
Speaker 1: Was Cliff Coates, who said that he had gone into
Speaker 1: the Prairie Flower Casino in Carter Lake, Iowa, and that
Speaker 1: when he stepped outside, Sonny was gone. NBC reported that
Speaker 1: Paula had written on the GoFundMe page that he said
Speaker 1: he had looked for couldn't find her, so he left.
Speaker 1: He left the area without Sonny. No call to the police,
Speaker 1: no nothing. At one point his story changed. They stopped
Speaker 1: at a gas station in Omaha and he went in
Speaker 1: to pay for the gas. When he returned to the vehicle,
Speaker 1: Sonny was gone. On April twenty first, twenty nineteen, when
Speaker 1: Sonny had still failed to make contact with her parents,
Speaker 1: Paula and Jodie, she was officially reported missing and an
Speaker 1: investigation was open. An extensive search Nebraska and Iowa took place,
Speaker 1: but 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 please come forward.
Speaker 1: Sonny'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 Shramic 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: so y'all are aware, but as far as what happened
Speaker 1: prior to this or what he was arrested for, that is.
Speaker 2: Not being shared by the family.
Speaker 1: Investigators haven't publicly named Cliff as a suspect in Sonny's case,
Speaker 1: and despite all these leads and all this information, her
Speaker 1: case has sadly gone cold. Sonny's family are desperately seeking
Speaker 1: answers for what happened to her. She was in the
Speaker 1: process of finishing high school and it's extremely out of
Speaker 1: character for her to just have wandered off. Sonny's described
Speaker 1: as white female with brown hair and blue eyes. She's
Speaker 1: five foot seven inches tall, one hundred and eighty pounds,
Speaker 1: and has numerous distinguishing features, which are as follows. Sony

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 2: According to NBC, the.
Speaker 1: Pair hung out until the early morning hours of August tenth,
Speaker 1: with Matthew Junior dropping the woman off at her place
Speaker 1: around four thirty am. From there, Matthew Junior sent a
Speaker 1: text to his friend saying something crazy has happened, also
Speaker 1: adding I want to talk while I have the chance.
Speaker 1: Matthew Jr. Also Sent text to his ex stepmother Brook.
Speaker 1: The two remained close friends even when Matthew Junior's father
Speaker 1: and she divorced, as she had raised him from a
Speaker 1: young age. Brook claims that some of the extra jumbled
Speaker 1: and didn't make much sense at all. At around eleven
Speaker 1: thirty am, Matthew Jr. Then Caused the woman he was
Speaker 1: hanging out with the night before, but she doesn't answer
Speaker 1: because she's at work. She texted him, asking what's wrong
Speaker 1: and telling him that she is unable to answer right now.
Speaker 1: Matthew never replied to the text from Brook or the
Speaker 1: unknown woman, and since then he has mysteriously fallen off
Speaker 1: the map. Brooke told NBC that Matthew's phone is still
Speaker 1: linked to his ex girlfriend's account, so they were able
Speaker 1: to retrieve phone records relatively quickly. These records showed that
Speaker 1: Matthew Junior's location at the time of sending those texts
Speaker 1: was the Lost Roses Overlook near Stunt and Saddle Peak
Speaker 1: Roads in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. This
Speaker 1: was later confirmed when CCTV cameras in the area captured
Speaker 1: Matthew Junior's BMW driving along the road to Los Roses Overlook.
Speaker 1: When Brooke hadn't received reply from her step son, she
Speaker 1: began to worry. She began calling all his friends to
Speaker 1: see if they had heard from him, but to her horror,
Speaker 1: no one had. Unbeknownst to Brook and Matthew Senior, the
Speaker 1: California Highway Patrol discovered Matthew Junior's car abandoned on the
Speaker 1: Topanga Tower Motorway close to the Los Ross Overlook. They
Speaker 1: traced the car's registration and found that it belonged to
Speaker 1: Matthew Weaver Junior. After speaking with his family, they realized
Speaker 1: that he had not made contact with him since August eleventh. Subsequently,
Speaker 1: a missing person report was filed and Matthew Weaver Junior
Speaker 1: was officially listed as a missing person. Multiple searches have
Speaker 1: been conducted by multiple agencies, but no trace of Matthew
Speaker 1: has ever been found. Brooke told NBC, there is no
Speaker 1: way that kid just fell off the grid and disappeared.
Speaker 1: For me, that's not possible. I'm super close with Matthew.
Speaker 1: He tells me everything, He calls me any time he's
Speaker 1: in a bind. He would never let his little sin
Speaker 1: sit there.
Speaker 2: And think he might be dead.
Speaker 1: Then, in January twenty nineteen, Hiker's discovered Matthew Junior's car
Speaker 1: keys just twenty five meters from where his car had
Speaker 1: been discovered. It's unknown where these keys were overlooked during
Speaker 1: the initial search, or whether they had been intentionally placed
Speaker 1: there at a later date. While out conducting his own
Speaker 1: search for his son, Matthew Senior discovered shreds of a
Speaker 1: white T shirt that he believes his son was wearing
Speaker 1: on the day he disappeared. A red Los Angeles Angels

Speaker 1: year relationship was now living alone with her cats in
Speaker 1: a Brookefield, Illinois home. Erica's sister, Dana, said that the
Speaker 1: pair regularly kept in contact with each other, and then
Speaker 1: Erica always kept in contact with her family, So when
Speaker 1: Erica failed to show up for work on September twenty

Speaker 1: Dana told Dateline it was caused for concern because my

Speaker 1: Disappearance are few and far between, and with the passage
Speaker 1: of time, those details become harder and harder to come by.
Speaker 1: On July fourth, nineteen ninety seven, forty year old Glenda

Speaker 1: with her sixteen year old daughter. Glinda had just been

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.
Speaker 2: While the affair was taking.
Speaker 1: Place, Marina maintained her on off relationship with dj, the
Speaker 1: father of her child. Their relationship was described as rocky
Speaker 1: at best, but Marina felt that there was a genuine
Speaker 1: connection between them and that one day they might finally
Speaker 1: settle their differences and be a proper couple again and
Speaker 1: raise their child. In December of twenty fourteen, things were
Speaker 1: starting to look up for Marina. She was doing well
Speaker 1: at her job and the prospect of college admission was
Speaker 1: drawing ever closer. New Year's Eve quickly rolled around, and
Speaker 1: what should have been a night of celebration turned into
Speaker 1: a living nightmare for the Bolter family. On December third,
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, New Year's Eve, Marina went about her day
Speaker 1: as usual, finishing up her shift at the IG Grocery
Speaker 1: store at around six pm. As she was leaving work,
Speaker 1: she ran into DJ, who asked her to attend a
Speaker 1: New Year's party with him. Knowing she had to work
Speaker 1: the next day, she politely declined. DJ made several attempts
Speaker 1: to convince Marina to attend the party with him, but
Speaker 1: she was having none of it. According to DJ, after
Speaker 1: the two had finished their conversation, he watched her walk
Speaker 1: across to the Sunoco gas station close to the IgA
Speaker 1: Grocery store and get into.
Speaker 2: 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 page or of gold mercury
Speaker 1: milan near two thousand and nine to twenty eleven with
Speaker 1: multi spoke rims, a spoiler, and a bluetooth or a
Speaker 1: shark fin antenna on top. Witnesses would later confirm that
Speaker 1: the man in the car was indeed a regular customer
Speaker 1: at the IgA Grocery store, and when questioned, this unnamed
Speaker 1: man claimed that he dropped Marina at a closed pizza
Speaker 1: shop near her apartment before driving away. He told investigators
Speaker 1: that he had dropped her off at the pizza shop
Speaker 1: because Marina didn't want him to know her full address.
Speaker 1: While this story seemed sketchy, Marina's mother later confirmed that
Speaker 1: this sounded like something her daughter would indeed do in
Speaker 1: order to keep herself safe. As the clock ticked down
Speaker 1: to midnight and everyone was celebrating the coming of the
Speaker 1: new year, nobody had any idea that Marina hadn't yet
Speaker 1: made it home that night. It wasn't till the next morning,
Speaker 1: when she failed to short for work, that the alarm
Speaker 1: was raised. This was extremely out of character from Marina,
Speaker 1: and her boss at the IgA Grocery store immediately called
Speaker 1: her mother, Tresie, to make sure that everything was okay.
Speaker 1: Tressie knew immediately that something was terribly wrong and jumped
Speaker 1: into her car, racing over to Marina's apartment. As she
Speaker 1: approached the apartment, she noticed that the door was locked.
Speaker 1: There was no sign of a struggle, and Marina's phone
Speaker 1: in purse were missing. Marina's apartment gave no clues as
Speaker 1: to her whereabouts, and in a panic, Tressie called the
Speaker 1: Bloomfield Police Department report her daughters missing. Within minutes, the
Speaker 1: Bloomfield Police Department had descended upon Marina's apartment and a
Speaker 1: missing person investigation was underway. Investigators were able to track
Speaker 1: Marina's phone and found that it at last pained at
Speaker 1: an unreleased location, ten minutes after she had left work.
Speaker 1: Investigators have not released any further information about this location
Speaker 1: because of their pending investigation. During the search of Marina's apartment,
Speaker 1: investigators failed to find her work clothes, which suggested that
Speaker 1: she hadn't returned to her apartment at all that evening, So
Speaker 1: now they were faced with a question, where is Marina.
Speaker 1: They spoke with DJ who relayed the story about Marina
Speaker 1: getting into a car with a middle aged man, and
Speaker 1: it took three weeks for the manning question to come
Speaker 1: forward and talk to investigators.
Speaker 2: According to news reports.
Speaker 1: This unnamed man has previous convictions for abduction along with
Speaker 1: other crimes to graphic to mention here. Although he was
Speaker 1: officially ruled out as a suspect by police during the
Speaker 1: initial investigation. During their investigation, the Bloomfield Police also learned
Speaker 1: that Marie had been on the phone with Toby as
Speaker 1: she was leaving work on New Year's Eve, and that
Speaker 1: he was hosting a New Year's party that he tried
Speaker 1: to persuade her to attend. During her phone call, Marina
Speaker 1: allegedly said, oh shit, it's DJ before hanging up the phone.
Speaker 1: Once news got out that Marina was missing, Toby refused
Speaker 1: to speak to Tracy and only cooperatd with Marina's father
Speaker 1: and his side of the family. It is bizarre that
Speaker 1: Toby sided with Marina's father's side of the family, as
Speaker 1: Marina herself was estranged from them. It later transpired that
Speaker 1: Tracie had called Toby's wife to speak to her about
Speaker 1: the affair and discovered that Toby's wife had no idea
Speaker 1: and that she'd only found out because Tracy had phoned her.
Speaker 1: Was Toby angry that Tressi had tipped off his wife
Speaker 1: about his affair, or was he siding with Marina's father
Speaker 1: to cover his own guilt. Marina's father and that side
Speaker 1: of the family firmly believed that DJ is responsible for
Speaker 1: Marina's disappearance and maintained to this day that he had
Speaker 1: something to do with it. DJ was subjected to polygraph
Speaker 1: in passed, but just weeks after Marina disappeared, another tragedy
Speaker 1: would strike. On February twelve, twenty fifteen, DJ died following
Speaker 1: an altercation in a bar with a man with the
Speaker 1: name of Michael Rogers. Rogers was not charged, as investigators
Speaker 1: deemed it to be an act of self defense, but
Speaker 1: any knowledge that DJ had about Marina was now taken
Speaker 1: with him to the grave. There's also another person to
Speaker 1: consider in Marina's case, and that is an ex felon
Speaker 1: who was convicted of a horrific crime against the young girl.
Speaker 1: This ex fella lived in Marina's apartment block, and the
Speaker 1: Bloomfield Police have said that they do not consider him
Speaker 1: a suspect. While researching Marina's case, very few articles came
Speaker 1: up in regards to this man and it is hard
Speaker 1: to discern the truth about him. In an interview for
Speaker 1: NBC News, Ashley Boulter, Marina's sister in law, said, who
Speaker 1: really knows if what he DJ saw happen, but either way,
Speaker 1: she disappeared. There are several theories, But all we know
Speaker 1: is someone out there knows what happened when she left
Speaker 1: that store. It's like nine out of ten days you're fine.
Speaker 1: You just push on. Then that tenth day comes.
Speaker 2: And you collapse.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is that she's a mother. The least
Speaker 1: we want is answers so that one day we can
Speaker 1: give her little boy the information he deserves. Marina Bolter
Speaker 1: was last seen on December thirty first, twenty fourteen, as
Speaker 1: described as the white female with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Speaker 1: Both of her ears appierced, and she has a tattoo
Speaker 1: of a star with butterfly wings on her foot. She
Speaker 1: was last seen wearing a black and purple plaid pea coat,
Speaker 1: jeans with rhinestones on the back, pockets, ink and white
Speaker 1: Nike shocked shoes with a purple swoosh outlined in black,
Speaker 1: and a cross necklace. The Charlie Project also mentions that
Speaker 1: she was carrying a bag with love written on the side.
Speaker 1: Anyone with any information whatsoever because as to police, contact
Speaker 1: the Bloomfield Police Department on eight one two three three
Speaker 1: two four four one one. For the Indiana State Police
Speaker 1: on eight one two three eight four four four one
Speaker 1: one next up, Christina Bastian. Thirty four year old Christina
Speaker 1: Bastian worked as an English teacher at Silverado High School
Speaker 1: in Apple Valley, California in twenty fifteen, and was well
Speaker 1: liked by her students and those in her community. In
Speaker 1: recent years, Christina had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and
Speaker 1: was working with doctors and mental health professionals to help
Speaker 1: manage her condition. She had been prescribed medication, which she
Speaker 1: had stopped in the months before she disappeared. Sources state
Speaker 1: that Christina came off for medication after counseling her doctor
Speaker 1: and began telling family and friends that God had healed her.
Speaker 1: When she first came off to medication, she seemed as
Speaker 1: though she was doing well. However, this slowly changed, and
Speaker 1: just days before she was last seen, Christina's mood and
Speaker 1: personality dramatic shifted. In late October of twenty fifteen, Christina
Speaker 1: began exhibiting bizarre behavior, telling her friends and family that
Speaker 1: someone had broken into her apartment and that someone was
Speaker 1: watching her and following her every move. Christina was inconsolable,
Speaker 1: despite her friends and family trying to reassure that everything
Speaker 1: was okay. In an attempt to make her feel safe.
Speaker 1: Friends and family allowed her to stay with him for
Speaker 1: a few days, promising her that everything would be all right. However,
Speaker 1: Christina's behavior only worsened over the coming days, and the
Speaker 1: day before she disappeared, she drove from Apple Valley, California,
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, Arizona, for reasons that are unknown. According to
Speaker 1: Christina's mother, Cheryl, she received a phone call from her
Speaker 1: daughter telling her that she was in Phoenix. Reports indicate
Speaker 1: that after this, Christina took the SIM card out of
Speaker 1: her phone and then smashed the phone to bits. On
Speaker 1: the day before disappearance, Christina also spoke to her brother
Speaker 1: in law and cryptically told him I don't want to
Speaker 1: be Christina Bastian anymore. This chilling statement was a premonition
Speaker 1: of what was to come, and Christina also told him
Speaker 1: that she wanted to disappear of the next day. This premonition,
Speaker 1: if that's what it was, had come true, and Christina
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. On November one, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: Christina arrived at a friend's house in Apple Valley after
Speaker 1: the two agreed that Christina could stay the night. This
Speaker 1: wasn't unusual for Christina and in the previous weeks, she'd
Speaker 1: been overly paranoid that someone had broken into her apartment.
Speaker 2: And that someone was trying to get her.
Speaker 1: She brought with her some valuable items as well as
Speaker 1: everyday items such as her bag, purse, and glasses, along
Speaker 1: with her blood dog, Coco. The full details of what
Speaker 1: happened that night have never been released, but according to
Speaker 1: the Charlie Project, Christina left her friend's house at around
Speaker 1: one forty five am after becoming upset. It is unknown
Speaker 1: whether the two had had an actual disagreement, for whether
Speaker 1: Christina's paranoia and altered mintal state took over. According to
Speaker 1: the friend, Christina jumped into her silver two door Dodge
Speaker 1: 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. A 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 the
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 canines and helicopters to search the area,
Speaker 1: but sadly, no other clues were to be found. Cheryl
Speaker 1: Christina's mother please that her daughter may be in Yuca
Speaker 1: Valley for the surrounding area and is homeless or living
Speaker 1: a transient lifestyle. In a Facebook post to the page
Speaker 1: 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 Christistina panhandling and begging for change. Christina Basjohn
Speaker 1: was last seen on November first, twenty fifteen, in Apple Valley, California.
Speaker 1: She's described as a white female with red hair, brown eyes,
Speaker 1: five foot six inches tall and weighs about one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy pounds. Christina's ears and cartilage are pierced. She
Speaker 1: has a scar on her thumb, a scar on her
Speaker 1: right eyebrow, and a tattoo of a cherry blossom with
Speaker 1: Chinese writing on her left ankle and foot. She also
Speaker 1: needs glasses to see, however, these were left behind at.
Speaker 2: The time of her disappearance. Cheryl told the.
Speaker 1: Media that without her glasses, Christina can only see about
Speaker 1: six inches in front of her, and all she had
Speaker 1: was at the time of her disappearance was a pair
Speaker 1: of contacts she was wearing. Christina was diagnosed with bipolar
Speaker 1: disorder and requires medication for her condition. However, she had
Speaker 1: stopped taking these months before she disappeared, apparently with her
Speaker 1: doctor's permission. According to her, anyone with any information is
Speaker 1: asked to contact the Samberino Sheriff's Department at nine zero
Speaker 1: nine three eight seven three six nine zero for the
Speaker 1: Apple Valley PD at seven six zero two four zero
Speaker 1: 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 couch surfing and staying with friends.
Speaker 1: Guy'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 Trapnel 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 Kya 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. A 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 Kay'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. Oh Oddly, instead of
Speaker 1: running her plates, the officer who attended the scene got
Speaker 1: into Kaya's car and moved it to the side of
Speaker 1: the railway tracks. For another three days, Kaya's carr sat
Speaker 1: at the edge of these tracks until her boyfriend's mother
Speaker 1: saw it sitting there. She went over to her son's
Speaker 1: house to let him know what was going on, and
Speaker 1: he told his mother that Kaya was supposed to be
Speaker 1: in Lakeland, so he couldn't understand why her car had
Speaker 1: been abandoned where it was. During the worst, Kaya's boyfriend
Speaker 1: called a friend in Lakeland, who confirmed that she had
Speaker 1: never arrived. After this, Kaya's boyfriend called her mother to
Speaker 1: let her know that her daughter hadn't been seen since
Speaker 1: February sixth, and that her car had been abandoned. After
Speaker 1: being notified that her daughter had gone missing, Kaya's mother
Speaker 1: went to collect her car that had been left at
Speaker 1: the side of the railroad tracks. Inside the car, she
Speaker 1: found Kaya's phone and wallet. This sent alarm bells ringing,
Speaker 1: and Kaya's mother called the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office to
Speaker 1: report her daughter missing. Four days after she was last seen,
Speaker 1: Kaya Taylor was officially listed as a missing person and
Speaker 1: an investigation was opened. In the days following Kaya's disappearance, friends, family,
Speaker 1: and members of the local community gathered to help canvas
Speaker 1: the area and aid the police in their search for her.
Speaker 2: The police used sent.
Speaker 1: Dogs, helicopters, as well as officers on the ground, all
Speaker 1: calling to the area looking for Kaya. A forensic examination
Speaker 1: 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 Kaya had
Speaker 1: last been seen. According to the Facebook post made with
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: Kaiya's last text to her boyfriend, which read, so you
Speaker 1: were going to send your white supremacist 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.
Speaker 2: We'd also like to.
Speaker 1: Mention that Kay's boyfriend has not been named publicly, and
Speaker 1: the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office have stated that he is
Speaker 1: not a suspect in kyle disappearance. Kaya Taylor was last
Speaker 1: seen on February sixth, twenty twenty, and is described as
Speaker 1: a biracial African American white mix female, five foot six
Speaker 1: inches tall at one hundred and seventy pounds with auburn
Speaker 1: red hair and brown eyes. Kaya has multiple tattoos, an
Speaker 1: Infinity symbol on her left upper chest, two exits with
Speaker 1: the rows on the back of her shoulder, arose on
Speaker 1: the inside of her forearm, son on her upper right thigh,
Speaker 1: and a ladybird on her left calf. She was last
Speaker 1: seen wearing a blue, gray, red and white striped short
Speaker 1: sleeved mini dress, tan knee high boots, and possibly a
Speaker 1: pink cardigan. Anyone with any information is urged to please
Speaker 1: contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at eight one three
Speaker 1: two four seven eight two zero zero. Next, we have
Speaker 1: Jake Latios. Twenty two year old Jake Latios was last
Speaker 1: seen on the Interstate ten bridge over the Mississippi River
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge on August twenty ninth, twenty four, at
Speaker 1: around two am. A passer by told investigators they had
Speaker 1: spoke to Jake at around two am as he was
Speaker 1: sitting next to his pickup truck on the bridge. Jake
Speaker 1: informed the stranger that he was on his way to
Speaker 1: West Baton Rouge, but sadly, Jake never made it there.
Speaker 1: A few hours later, the Baton Rouge police department received
Speaker 1: a bizarre call that kick started the search for Jake.
Speaker 1: In the early morning hours of August twenty ninth, twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: the Baton Rouge Police Department were called to the Interstate
Speaker 1: ten Bridge when an anonymous caller reported seeing a person
Speaker 1: jump from the bridge into the waters below. Person calling
Speaker 1: did not want to give their identity, and it appears
Speaker 1: they were not at the scene when the police arrived.
Speaker 1: The Baton Rouge Police took this call very seriously and
Speaker 1: dispatched officers to the scene. However, when they arrived, they
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. They looked into the water below but
Speaker 1: saw no sign of anyone having jumped. A dive team
Speaker 1: was called to the area to recover any remains or
Speaker 1: rescue the person, but again the dive team found nothing.
Speaker 1: What the Baton Rouge Police Department did find was Jake's
Speaker 1: pickup truck, still running abandoned on the side of the road.
Speaker 1: Inside the vehicle were Jake's Poham cigarettes and a trolling
Speaker 1: motor that he had just purchased, but his wallet and
Speaker 1: crutches that he was using at the time were nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. At the time of his disappearance, Jake
Speaker 1: had a broken foot and right hand, and was wearing
Speaker 1: an orthopedic boot as well as using crutches to get around.
Speaker 1: His crutches weren't recovered from the bridge nor the water,
Speaker 1: leaving authorities with more questions than answers. Jake's mother, Tina Leclerk,
Speaker 1: told NBC if he jumped off the bridge, his crutches
Speaker 1: would have been found. They would have been left in
Speaker 1: his room by a truck on the bridge floating in
Speaker 1: the water. Jake's case only became more bizarre when his mother, Tina,
Speaker 1: visited his apartment after the Baton Rouge Police Department contacted
Speaker 1: her to let her know that his truck had been
Speaker 1: found abandoned on the side of the bridge. She told
Speaker 1: NBC when I got there, it automatically seemed suspicious. The
Speaker 1: window was punched out, there were holes in the wall.
Speaker 1: His personal items were missing, including his TV set. Just
Speaker 1: everything was a mess. Several years had passed since Jake disappeared,
Speaker 1: and sadly, the Baton Rouge Police Department are still no
Speaker 1: closer to solving his case. According to a Facebook post
Speaker 1: made to the help Find Missing Jake Allen Lattio's page
Speaker 1: in August twenty twenty one. His crutches were located much
Speaker 1: later at an undisclosed time and location, but no further
Speaker 1: information has been provided.
Speaker 2: About this fact.
Speaker 1: His mother, Tina, believes that Jake met with foul play
Speaker 1: and that someone staged to look like he took his
Speaker 1: own life. Tina said she's ready for whatever outcome and
Speaker 1: just wants to know the truth of what happened to
Speaker 1: her son. Twenty two year old Jake Ladios was last
Speaker 1: seen on August twenty nine, twenty fourteen, on the Interstate
Speaker 1: ten Bridge and Baton Rouge. He's described as a white
Speaker 1: male with brown hair brown eyes, stands approximately five foot
Speaker 1: nine inches tall and weighs between one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: and one hundred and fifty pounds. Jake has a cross shaped
Speaker 1: scar on his left wrest and at the time of
Speaker 1: his disappearance he had a broken foot, a broken right
Speaker 1: hand was using an orthopedic boot and crutches. Anyone with
Speaker 1: any information has urged the police contact the Batton Rouge
Speaker 1: Police Department at two two five, three eight nine, four
Speaker 1: six one seven and finally, Audrey may Heron, thirty one
Speaker 1: year old Audrey may Heron was a devoted mother of
Speaker 1: three and a nurse living in Catskill, New York at
Speaker 1: the time of her disappearance. When Audrey was just twenty two,
Speaker 1: she gave birth to her first child, Soncia, and with
Speaker 1: the help of her parents, continued her studies and eventually
Speaker 1: became a full time nurse at a nearby nursing home.
Speaker 1: Audrey later went on to marry Jeff Heron, and the
Speaker 1: couple had two more children, Katie and Quinn. The blended
Speaker 1: family quickly meshed together, with Sonsia telling true crime daily.
Speaker 1: Even though I wasn't his child, he still considered me
Speaker 1: his daughter and I called him Dad. For the herons
Speaker 1: was going smoothly. Two thousand and two, Sancy was ten
Speaker 1: years old, and a few days before, at Labor Day weekend,
Speaker 1: she'd just returned to her cat's go home from Florida,
Speaker 1: where she'd spent the last month with her grandmother, Shirley,
Speaker 1: which was Audrey's mother. Shirley revealed that Audrey had just
Speaker 1: been given a raise at work and was excited to
Speaker 1: see her daughter after she'd been away for so long.
Speaker 1: Audrey's shifts are working until eleven pm at night, and
Speaker 1: Shirley agreed that this would be far too late. For
Speaker 1: to pick Sancia from her home. Sanc stayed the night
Speaker 1: at her grandmother's house, waiting eagerly for her mother to
Speaker 1: come and pick her up on the morning of August thirtieth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, but sadly, that knock at the
Speaker 1: door and the familiar shout of Sancy's name never came.
Speaker 1: Shirley told Dateline, I called Audrey and she said she
Speaker 1: had a doctor's appointment the next morning, but she would
Speaker 1: pick Sanzy up after that. Shirley was surprised when the
Speaker 1: phone rang at six am the next morning and she
Speaker 1: heard Jeff on the other end of the poem asking
Speaker 1: if she had seen Audrey. She told HIMBC Jeff called
Speaker 1: and asked if Audrey was at my house. It would
Speaker 1: not have been unusual for her to stay over with me,
Speaker 1: but normally she would have called him to let him know.
Speaker 1: I said she wasn't here, but I didn't think anything
Speaker 1: of it, so I dozed back off. Shirley's slumber was
Speaker 1: interrupted an hour later by another phone call from Jeff.
Speaker 1: This time he sounded more panic. He told Shirley that
Speaker 1: Audrey hadn't returned home from work the previous evening. According
Speaker 1: to Shirley. She relayed this information to a family member
Speaker 1: who used to work in law enforcement, who in turn
Speaker 1: reported Audrey's missing. A wide scale search began, and the
Speaker 1: local police, along with Audrey's family, began canvassing the area.
Speaker 1: During their investigation, the New York State Police came across
Speaker 1: CCTV footage. They confirmed Audrey left work all the evening
Speaker 1: of August twenty ninth, two thousand and two, in her
Speaker 1: black nineteen ninety nine jeep Grand chero Key. New York
Speaker 1: State Police Detective Kaminski said, we only we have one
Speaker 1: graining video from Cumberland Farms in which it appears that
Speaker 1: Audrey's vehicle does leave her place of employment and basically
Speaker 1: 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 ninth, 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 PolyGram 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 of homicide rather than a missing person case.
Speaker 1: Audrey was last seen leaving her workplace on August twenty nine,
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 lies. 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 dependance 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: police contact the New York State Police at five one
Speaker 1: eight six y two two eight six zeros zero. Well, folks,
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.
Speaker 2: Down the trail.
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 1: Hello friends. This is episode number five in our Creepy
Speaker 1: Cases series. Although many of the cases we come on
Speaker 1: the channel have at least some bizarre, strange element to them,
Speaker 1: these are five more hand pick cases that we feel
Speaker 1: have the highest creep factor.
Speaker 2: Join us.
Speaker 1: Number five Maryland bergeron twenty four year old Marilyn Berjon
Speaker 1: was once a happy and positive young woman, but in
Speaker 1: late two thousand and seven, her family noticed a troubling
Speaker 1: change in her. Her outlook had changed for a positive
Speaker 1: one to a gloomy one, and it was clear that
Speaker 1: something was bothering her. She was often tearful and told
Speaker 1: her mother that she didn't have healthy relationships, but did
Speaker 1: not disclose exactly who the problem was. Early two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight, Marylyn had moved from her apartment in Hoschelega
Speaker 1: mess Oneux back to her parents' house in Quebec, telling
Speaker 1: them that she no longer felt safe living where she
Speaker 1: had been. The neighborhood in which Maryland lived was notorious
Speaker 1: for criminal activity was described as an impoverished area with
Speaker 1: many issues. She'd moved there in two thousand and five
Speaker 1: and had taken up freelance work with local TV stations
Speaker 1: and was slowly beginning to pull her career together. But
Speaker 1: something had changed in recent months, and the events of
Speaker 1: February two thousand and eight would send her family on
Speaker 1: a hunt for justice and answers. Between February fifteenth and sixteenth,
Speaker 1: Marylynd made trips between the two places moving her things
Speaker 1: and saying goodbye to her friends. Everyone tried to talk
Speaker 1: to Maryland, pleading with her to let them know what
Speaker 1: was wrong. Her family later told investigators that any attempt
Speaker 1: to talk to Maryland about her problems would result in
Speaker 1: her breaking down and shutting down the conversation. Should even
Speaker 1: cryptically ask her sister, is there a light at the
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel. During the move, her family tried
Speaker 1: to coax more information out of her, but each time
Speaker 1: she shut them down, showing a blank expression or simply
Speaker 1: breaking down in tears. It was at this point that
Speaker 1: her family referred her to a psychologist and hoped that
Speaker 1: the move back home would provide her with a safe,
Speaker 1: comfortable place to recover and explore her issues with a
Speaker 1: medical professional. According to the psychologist that saw Marylyn, her
Speaker 1: case was big and would require hospitalization. Unfortunately, Maryland disappeared
Speaker 1: before any further help or intervention could be offered. Her
Speaker 1: family were incredibly worried for her well being and ask
Speaker 1: her if someone had heard her, or whether she had
Speaker 1: problems with her relationship, debt, et cetera. But each time
Speaker 1: Marilyn said, oh, everything's fine. On February seventeenth, two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight, Marilyn had moved all of her things back
Speaker 1: into the family home and was resettling herself in a
Speaker 1: familiar environment. She told her family that she wanted to
Speaker 1: leave her life in Montreal behind for good, and her
Speaker 1: family said that they would help her along the way.
Speaker 1: At around eleven am on February seventeenth, 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, up out of the house, wearing
Speaker 1: only a long black coat with gray fake for a
Speaker 1: trim and boots and headed off on her walk. The
Speaker 1: next time that Marilyn would be spotted was on CCTV,
Speaker 1: and she had an unusual item with her. At eleven
Speaker 1: nine am, Marylyn was seen on CCTV at an ATM
Speaker 1: on Boulevard de lo Mire attempting to withdraw a sixty
Speaker 1: dollars Canadian but the transaction failed. Her family believes that
Speaker 1: she had simply forgotten her pen number, but her behavior
Speaker 1: while the cash machine raised several alarms. The card that
Speaker 1: Marilyn attempted to use was a credit card that was
Speaker 1: linked to her father that she had been given in
Speaker 1: case of emergency. In the footage, Marilyn is seen looking
Speaker 1: over her shoulder several times and appears very paranoid. Marilyn's
Speaker 1: mother also noticed that she was wearing a black backpack
Speaker 1: over one shoulder, an item that she had not had
Speaker 1: with her when she left the house. So where had
Speaker 1: she gotten this strange backpack and what were her plans?
Speaker 1: Things only grow more mysterious with the next confirmed sighting
Speaker 1: of Maryland, which occurred at four oh three pm in
Speaker 1: the cafe depot at Saint Romald. Now going to a
Speaker 1: coffee shop as an out of the ordinary activity, but
Speaker 1: the fact that this coffee shop was over twelve miles
Speaker 1: away from her home.
Speaker 2: Was rather suspicious.
Speaker 1: Why was Maryland in a coffee shop so far away
Speaker 1: from home when the neighborhoods around her had plenty of
Speaker 1: coffee shops she could have visited. The barista who served
Speaker 1: Maryland in this particular coffee shop was later questioned and
Speaker 1: confirmed that Maryland was alone and paid with a credit card,
Speaker 1: shordered her coffee, and then walked out of the coffee shop,
Speaker 1: never to be seen again. After this sighting, Marilyn has
Speaker 1: never been seen or heard from. There's been no activity
Speaker 1: on her phone or the card, and it's as if
Speaker 1: she simply dropped off the map.
Speaker 2: Investigators believed that.
Speaker 1: Maryland was driven to the coffee shop twelve miles away
Speaker 1: from her home, as the weather conditions would have made
Speaker 1: it near impossible for her to walk down or It
Speaker 1: is unknown whether the possibility of public transport has ever
Speaker 1: been explored in this instance. When Maryland failed to return home,
Speaker 1: her family knew that something was very wrong and called
Speaker 1: the police straight away. After learning about Maryland's situation and
Speaker 1: the circumstances leading up to her disappearance, the search for
Speaker 1: her began immediately, with police scarying the area and combing
Speaker 1: through her bank records and CCTV footage. Unfortunately, the two
Speaker 1: CCTV sightings previously mentioned are the only confirmed sightings of Maryland.
Speaker 2: The police have put out.
Speaker 1: Numerous appeals for anyone who may have seen Maryland or
Speaker 1: may have given her a ride to police come forward.
Speaker 1: So far, nobody has. There have been several alleged sightings
Speaker 1: of Maryland, including sightings in Hawkesbury, Ontario. According to reports,
Speaker 1: people have seen a woman matching Maryland's description in Hawkesbury
Speaker 1: in the company of a man. The two were often
Speaker 1: known to move around the town, and those who saw
Speaker 1: said that she looked anxious and like she was possibly
Speaker 1: being captive. Unfortunately, none of these sightings have ever been substantiated,
Speaker 1: and despite numerous searches by both the police and Maryland's family,
Speaker 1: no sign of her has ever been found. Her family
Speaker 1: are of the opinion that she took her own life,
Speaker 1: but friends have alluded to something much much darker. In
Speaker 1: late two thousand and seven, Jonathan Gaudier, who knew Maryland
Speaker 1: from college, met up with her and noticed that her
Speaker 1: personality and behavior had completely changed. She was no longer
Speaker 1: the happy and lively Maryland that he once knew.
Speaker 2: The night that they met.
Speaker 1: Up and attended a party before heading back to Maryland's apartment,
Speaker 1: it was here that she broke down crying. Jonathan rushed
Speaker 1: her aside to comfort her. He tried to get more
Speaker 1: information from her and pressed the matter, asking whether she
Speaker 1: had witnessed something horrific or or if something horrific had
Speaker 1: happened to her. According to Jonathan, Marylyn told him no,
Speaker 1: it's worse, Joe. You can't even imagine what I went through. Sadly,
Speaker 1: she didn't elaborate any further. The investigation into Maryland's disappearance
Speaker 1: has continued over the years, with her family initially posting
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars Canadian reward for information.
Speaker 2: This amount has now.
Speaker 1: Grown to thirty thousand dollars Canadian. But we are still
Speaker 1: no closer to finding out what happened to Maryland, her
Speaker 1: mother told the CBC in twenty seventeen, Maryland, if you're
Speaker 1: still alive for us, it's like yesterday you disappeared. We
Speaker 1: love you, We're waiting for you with open arms, and
Speaker 1: we miss you so much. Her family believed that Maryland's
Speaker 1: life was either in danger or that she perceived to
Speaker 1: have been in danger in Montreal, and believes that her
Speaker 1: friends and associates may hold the answers. Marilyn Bergron was
Speaker 1: last seen on February seventeenth, two thousand and eight, has
Speaker 1: not been seen or heard from since. Marylyn displayed worrying
Speaker 1: behavior in the lead up to her disappearance, and there
Speaker 1: 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 blow her right collar bone, and she was
Speaker 1: last seen wearing boots and a black coat with gray
Speaker 1: fake for a trim. Anyone with any information has urged
Speaker 1: to please contact the Quebec Police Services at four one

Speaker 1: number two thousand and eightsh one eight zero eight seven,

Speaker 1: five two six number four. Andrew Gosden. The disappearance of
Speaker 1: fourteen year old Andrew Gosden is one of the UK's
Speaker 1: most baffling miss in person cases. South Yorkshire Police have
Speaker 1: worked tirelessly over the years to find Andrew, but they're
Speaker 1: been very few leads to work on. Those from the
Speaker 1: UK will have many strong memories on Andrews's disappearance and
Speaker 1: the media storm and investigation that followed. It's been over
Speaker 1: a decades since Andrew disappeared and the South Yorkshire Police
Speaker 1: are still no closer to cracking this mystifying case. Andrew
Speaker 1: Gosden lived in Baalby, Doncaster, South Yorkshire with his parents,
Speaker 1: Kevin and Glennis. The two provided Andrew with a happy
Speaker 1: and stable home life, and as a result, he was
Speaker 1: flourishing academically. He was in the young Gifted and Talented
Speaker 1: program at school and had a perfect attendance record. It
Speaker 1: was clear that Andrew was destined for great things academically,
Speaker 1: and he excelled in every subject at school. With this,
Speaker 1: Andrew's father, Kevin, said that he was not street wise
Speaker 1: and preferred to stay home and play on his Xbox
Speaker 1: and listened to metal music.
Speaker 2: This behavior is not.
Speaker 1: Uncommon for teenagers, and his parents were happy that he
Speaker 1: was flourishing academically and did have a small social circle
Speaker 1: of friends, good dependable ones.
Speaker 2: The lives of the Godsden.
Speaker 1: Family would be turned upside down one September afternoon, however,
Speaker 1: shortly after the new.
Speaker 2: School year had started.
Speaker 1: Andrew had spent part of his summer holiday, which was
Speaker 1: six weeks, attending a Gifted and Talented program and was
Speaker 1: apparently very happy and had a bright outlook for what
Speaker 1: lay ahead of him after he'd finished school. On September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, was different. Something inside, Andrew had
Speaker 1: changed and within the space of a few hours, his
Speaker 1: parents would be thrown into missing person investigation that has
Speaker 1: spanned over a decade. On September fourteenth, two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: Andrew got up and got ready for school as normal.
Speaker 1: He said goodbye to his parents and headed out the
Speaker 1: front door at around eight oh five am. By all accounts,
Speaker 1: this was just another day at school. And Andrew was
Speaker 1: seen heading toward the bus stop. However, instead of boarding
Speaker 1: the bus to school, Andrew kept walking and headed into
Speaker 1: the local park. Nobody knows why Andrew chose to skip
Speaker 1: school that day, but we do know that he waited
Speaker 1: in the park until around eight thirty am. By this time,
Speaker 1: his parents would have left for work, and Andrew knew that
Speaker 1: he would have the house to himself. This is just
Speaker 1: the beginning of the bizarre details surrounding the disappearance of
Speaker 1: Andrew Gosden, and things only become more mysterious from here.
Speaker 1: After waiting in the park, as we said, Andrew returned home,
Speaker 1: took off his school uniform and put it straight into
Speaker 1: the washing machine. He changed into a slipknot T shirt,
Speaker 1: dark jeans, and packed his bag with his keys, wallet,
Speaker 1: and his PSP gaming system. Andrew didn't take his PSP
Speaker 1: charger with him, which indicated that he probably had every
Speaker 1: intention of coming back, but unfortunately that is not what happened.
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: The woman who.
Speaker 1: Served Andrew recalled telling him that for just fifty p
Speaker 1: extra he could get a return ticket, but Andrew declined.
Speaker 1: He confidently stated that he wanted the one way ticket,
Speaker 1: handed over the money, took the ticket and made his way.
Speaker 2: 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 to twenty five am he was
Speaker 1: captured on CCTV leaving King's Cross. This is the last
Speaker 1: confirmed sighting of Andrew, and over a decade later, we're
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.
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: The area of Bobby was.
Speaker 1: Searched thoroughly and investigators began coming through Andrews's life. At
Speaker 1: the time of his disappearance, Andrew didn't have a phone,
Speaker 1: as he was known to lose him and preferred to
Speaker 1: spend time on his xbox and listening to music. Anyway, Fliers,
Speaker 1: posters and news reports were circulated around South Yorkshire and Yorkshire,
Speaker 1: with the South Yorkshire Police hoping that somebody would come
Speaker 1: forward with information. As the days passed and there was
Speaker 1: no word, the Gostins began to realize that the situation
Speaker 1: that they were in was incredibly serious. Then, days after
Speaker 1: Andrew disappeared, the South Yorkshire Police got their first lead.
Speaker 1: Woman who sold Andrew the ticket at Doncaster train station
Speaker 1: came forward and from here the police were able to
Speaker 1: check CCTV and confirmed that Andrew had traveled to King's Cross. Sadly,
Speaker 1: Andrew was not spotted on CCTV after he left King's
Speaker 1: Cross station and CCTV in the surrounding areas failed to
Speaker 1: show up anything. Now there are three main theories in
Speaker 1: Andrew's case, with the first thing that he was lured
Speaker 1: away by someone online. As we said, Andrew had an
Speaker 1: Xbox and a PSP, but forensic analysis of these and
Speaker 1: the data showed that Andrew was not registered online with
Speaker 1: an account. He reportedly didn't even use the family computer
Speaker 1: and didn't really touch online communications at all. This was
Speaker 1: backed up by digital forensic investigations that failed to turn
Speaker 1: up any online presence from Andrew whatsoever. His family did
Speaker 1: confirmed investigators that Andrew knew several people who lived in London,
Speaker 1: but none of these people have reported seeing Andrew on
Speaker 1: the date of or after his disappearance. The next theory
Speaker 1: that was well publicized in the British media was that
Speaker 1: Andrew had possibly gone to London to attend a gig
Speaker 1: or some sort of music related event.
Speaker 2: Andrew loved his.
Speaker 1: Metal music, and a few gigs were going on around
Speaker 1: that time. But if that were the case, then why
Speaker 1: would he buy a one way ticket. There were no
Speaker 1: sightings of Andrew at any of these music events, and
Speaker 1: there has been no proof to suggest that Andrew had
Speaker 1: tickets for any of these events either. The last theory
Speaker 1: is one that Andrew's father, Kevin, came up with. Kevin
Speaker 1: postulated that perhaps Andrew left to start a new life
Speaker 1: somewhere without the intervention of his family. His family were religious,
Speaker 1: but also said that they were open to sexuality and
Speaker 1: gender expression. This theory ties into an interesting clue that
Speaker 1: came to light in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: It's important to preface this.
Speaker 1: Next section by saying that Andrew's nickname was Rue, and
Speaker 1: it was a nickname that only those closest to him
Speaker 1: knew and called him. According to reports, an anonymous witness
Speaker 1: told the police that in twenty eighteen, he had a
Speaker 1: conversation with someone online by the name of Andy Roo.
Speaker 1: The two people have started talking and Andy Roo asked
Speaker 1: the knout of witness for two hundred pounds so that
Speaker 1: he could.
Speaker 2: Pay his rent.
Speaker 1: This Andy Roox person went on to explain that he'd
Speaker 1: left home at fourteen and didn't have a bank account,
Speaker 1: so sending money via bank transfer.
Speaker 2: Would be difficult.
Speaker 1: He said that he needed the money because his boyfriend
Speaker 1: had left him, but never went into further detail about
Speaker 1: his private life. This lead gave the Metropolitan Police and
Speaker 1: the South Yorkshire Police a glimmer of hope, but it
Speaker 1: appears the person calling themselves Andy Roo has never been
Speaker 1: formally identified and we cannot confirm whether it or not
Speaker 1: this person is Andrew Gosden. Following Andrew's disappearance, his family
Speaker 1: traveled to London to hand out flyers and to peal
Speaker 1: to witnesses and anyone with information to come forward. Kevin
Speaker 1: and Glynnis have been the driving force behind keeping Andrew's
Speaker 1: name in the media, and they've continued to put pressure
Speaker 1: on the South Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police to
Speaker 1: investigate his disappearance. This case has been incredibly well publicized
Speaker 1: and in towns and cities across the UK. Andrew's missing
Speaker 1: person poster can still be seen. The charity UK Missing
Speaker 1: Persons works with the families of those who are missing
Speaker 1: to create posters, and they also run a tip line
Speaker 1: for those of information or for those who are missing
Speaker 1: and need someone to talk to. Despite all of this
Speaker 1: media attention and investigation, no trace of Andrew has ever
Speaker 1: been located. After he left King's Cross Station, he seemingly
Speaker 1: vanished into thin air, and the investigation has laid dormant
Speaker 1: ever since. Well that was until January twenty two, when
Speaker 1: once again the Andrew Gosden case made headlines. On January eleventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, the BBC published an article titled Andrew
Speaker 1: Gosden two men arrested for trafficking and kidnapped. This headline
Speaker 1: shocked the nation and the details of the arrest would
Speaker 1: shock them even more. According to the BBC, two men
Speaker 1: aged thirty eight and forty five were arrested in December
Speaker 1: in London on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking.
Speaker 2: The forty five.
Speaker 1: Year old man was also arrested on suspicion of possessing
Speaker 1: indecent images. The two men were released on bail penning
Speaker 1: a further investigation, and the Metropolitan Police and the South
Speaker 1: Yorkshire Police are currently working the case. No further details
Speaker 1: have been released in regards to these charges and the
Speaker 1: police are keeping their cards very close to their chests.
Speaker 2: Throughout the years.
Speaker 1: Several age profession photos have been issued to show what
Speaker 1: Andrew may look like now as an adult. The River
Speaker 1: Thames has been searched numerous times by divers and with
Speaker 1: a sonar scanner, but this has not turned up any
Speaker 1: leads either.
Speaker 2: The South Yorkshire.
Speaker 1: Police and the Metropolitan Police, along with Andrew's family, continue
Speaker 1: to search for him and hope that one day they
Speaker 1: will have answers or at least closure. Andrew Gosden was
Speaker 1: last seen wearing a slipknot to T 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 ticket from
Speaker 1: Doncaster to King's Cross, London and was last seen leaving
Speaker 1: King's Cross station at eleven twenty five am on September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2: And who has.
Speaker 1: Brown hair, has a unique double ridge on his right ear,
Speaker 1: is deaf in his left ear and wears strong prescription glasses.
Speaker 1: Anyone with any information is as to please contact one
Speaker 1: zero one you came missing people on one one six
Speaker 1: zero zero zero, the South Yorkshire Police on zero one
Speaker 1: one four two two zero two zero two zero, the
Speaker 1: Metropolitan Police on four four two zero seven two three
Speaker 1: zero one two one two or Crime Stoppers on zero
Speaker 1: eight zero zero five five five one one.
Speaker 2: One number three.
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.
Speaker 2: Different sources give different.
Speaker 1: Stories, but the main gist of the situation is that
Speaker 1: a businessman came in least the plane located in Angola
Speaker 1: from Mariy, only to default on his payments or abandon
Speaker 1: the plans that he had for the plane. Apparently, this
Speaker 1: businessman wanted to use the plane to transport oil to
Speaker 1: diamond mines across Angola, and this same businessman and Marie
Speaker 1: Joseph had come to a payment agreement that never came
Speaker 1: to fruition. This meant that the plane went back into
Speaker 1: storage and racked up over four million dollars in airport fees.
Speaker 2: The plane, with number N eight or four AA, was.
Speaker 1: Then back in the hands of Maury Joseph, who brought
Speaker 1: Ben Padia on board. Ben was a certified aircraft mechanic,
Speaker 1: flight engineer and pilot, and he was perfect for the job.
Speaker 1: The N eight four AA was twenty five years old
Speaker 1: and it needed repair work done to it before was
Speaker 1: suitable for use. So Ben got to work fixing up
Speaker 1: the plane and all was going well. That was until
Speaker 1: May twenty fifth, two thousand and three, when something truly
Speaker 1: bizarre happened. On this day, the plane was due to
Speaker 1: fly from Angola to Germany, but as the crew arrived
Speaker 1: at the airport for their flight, they noticed that the
Speaker 1: plane had gone Everyone checked their watches to ensure that
Speaker 1: they had not made a mistake, but the events that
Speaker 1: would follow would only confuse them further. Shortly after the
Speaker 1: crew arrived, air traffic control noticed Boing seven two seven
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Into the skies.
Speaker 1: The only two men on board were Benfidia and a
Speaker 1: man named John Michael Mutantsu, who had been working alongside
Speaker 1: Ben as an aircraft technician. The plane had not been
Speaker 1: cleared for takeoff at that time, and it also not
Speaker 1: submitted a flight plan, which immediately caught the attention of
Speaker 1: air traffic control. Several more attempts were made to establish contact,
Speaker 1: but as the plane soared higher into the sky, their
Speaker 1: attempts proved feudle. Now, as the plane was being used
Speaker 1: for private business, the seats had been ripped out and
Speaker 1: it was made to carry diesel fuel regardless of who
Speaker 1: or what was on board. Air Traffic Control was on
Speaker 1: red alert, and soon the word of the rogue plane
Speaker 1: had spread. This incident just two years shy of nine
Speaker 1: to eleven.
Speaker 2: It's in a wave of a panic through Angola.
Speaker 1: Officials tried desperately to track the plane but found nothing.
Speaker 1: The plane had been pueled up with over fourteen thousand
Speaker 1: gallons of jet fuel which had only taken the plane
Speaker 1: about twenty four hundred miles. Well, as you know, what
Speaker 1: goes up must come down. But as the days dragged on,
Speaker 1: there were no reports of a boring seven twenty seven
Speaker 1: with ID number N eight four four AA landing at
Speaker 1: any airport, nor were there any reports of a crash.
Speaker 1: The plane had seemingly taken off and vanished into thin air,
Speaker 1: almost if it had flown right into a portal. According
Speaker 1: to reports, the plane, with its lights off and its
Speaker 1: transponder not transmitting N eight four four AA, took off
Speaker 1: over the southwest and had it out over the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 1: So where did ben Padilla go and what happened to
Speaker 1: the seven to twenty seven that seemingly disappeared into thin air.
Speaker 1: One theory is that the mysterious disappearance is down to
Speaker 1: insurance fraud. As previously mentioned, the plane was due to
Speaker 1: be leased by someone. However, the deal fell through and
Speaker 1: the plane ended up procuring means of dollars in fees
Speaker 1: the time it was stored at the airport in Angola.
Speaker 1: Some people are of the opinion that Mary Joseph and
Speaker 1: Ben Padia planned the plane's disappearance in order to claim
Speaker 1: insurance to help pay those fees. Another theory is perhaps
Speaker 1: the two men were on the plane at the wrong
Speaker 1: time and they were forced to fly the plane to
Speaker 1: wherever the hijacker demanded. The FBI, NSSA, and the CIA
Speaker 1: became involved in the search for Ben and the missing
Speaker 1: Bowling seven twenty seven, along with several other countries, but
Speaker 1: so far nothing has ever been discovered or recovered. When
Speaker 1: Ben first took the job, his brother recalled having a conversation.
Speaker 2: With him about hijacking. Ben told his brother.
Speaker 1: That he would rather crash the plane than comply with
Speaker 1: anyone's demands, and wondered whether Ben was harmed or was
Speaker 1: being held.
Speaker 2: Against his will somewhere.
Speaker 1: The investigation into Ben's sudden disappearance and the disappearance of
Speaker 1: the Boeing seven twenty seven is still ongoing, but very
Speaker 1: little evidence of surfaced IMPADEA is described as a white
Speaker 1: male with brown hair brown eyes that stands six foot
Speaker 1: two inches tall, the boy seven two seven BASH two
Speaker 1: two three as a tail number VN eight or four AA,
Speaker 1: and the zero number two zero nine eight five. The
Speaker 1: plane also is an unpainted silver color with a stripe
Speaker 1: of red, white and blue Anyone with information about Ben
Speaker 1: or the plane is asked to contact the FBI at
Speaker 1: two zero two three two four three zero zero zero
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 Nulis 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. Melny, her five year old sister Jesse,
Speaker 1: and her mother, Celine had lived in the Newless courtA
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 Echols 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 the
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.
Speaker 2: According to this.
Speaker 1: Friend, Melany bought a cake tin and cake making supplies,
Speaker 1: but she could make a birthday cake for her grandmother.
Speaker 1: Belley seemed excited about the trip, and the two girls
Speaker 1: enjoyed themselves. As the day wore on, the girls made
Speaker 1: plans to meet up with Melanye's boyfriend, Neil Fourtier, and
Speaker 1: three other friends, Dave Bromley, Jay Denall, and Ryan Chatwin.
Speaker 1: The group of teenagers hung out and planned what they
Speaker 1: wanted to do together for the rest of the day
Speaker 1: and evening. September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six was a Saturday,
Speaker 1: so the youngsters wanted to make the most of not
Speaker 1: having to go to bed early, so the group had
Speaker 1: to a video store and rented a copy of The
Speaker 1: film's sudden death. The original plan was to head to
Speaker 1: Melny's house. Howevers, Melanie's grandparents were staying over. The house
Speaker 1: was already a hub of activity, Melanie's room was a mess,
Speaker 1: and there was no place for.
Speaker 2: 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, settling on the home of Ryan
Speaker 1: Chatwin on Pine Avenue. After wandering around, calling in at
Speaker 1: their friends homes hoping to get a quiet room, the
Speaker 1: teens were lieved to find that Ryan's parents were upstairs,
Speaker 1: leaving them with free reign of the house.
Speaker 2: They settled in.
Speaker 1: To watch the film man, just to chat and enjoy
Speaker 1: each other's company. The hours ticked by, and slowly, one
Speaker 1: by one, the teens left and headed home. Melanie was
Speaker 1: one of the last to leave Ryan Chatwin's house, unaware
Speaker 1: of what her best friend had just encountered outside. That
Speaker 1: best friend would later tell investigators that when she left
Speaker 1: Ryan's house at twelve thirty am, she saw a light
Speaker 1: covered Chevrolet at Monte Carlo or a similar car crawling
Speaker 1: slowly down the street. The driver of the car paid
Speaker 1: special attention to her as she walked to a place
Speaker 1: where she's being picked up, and she said that the
Speaker 1: 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 Melaney'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 left.
Speaker 2: About two am.
Speaker 1: Selene rushed to the daycare where Melanie worked, and she
Speaker 1: wasn't there either, and that was the moment she knew
Speaker 1: it was serious. She picked up the phone and called
Speaker 1: the police. The new List Card Police, along with the
Speaker 1: Ontario Provincial Police, began their search for Melnie and began
Speaker 1: knocking on doors of homes and businesses in the community.
Speaker 1: Beldi's personal life was looked at, and those were with
Speaker 1: her on the night she disappeared were also Investigators were
Speaker 1: very interested in the account given by Melanie's best friend
Speaker 1: and believe that Melie may have either been targeted or
Speaker 1: may have been mistakenly targeted, as her attackers may have
Speaker 1: believe she.
Speaker 2: Was someone else.
Speaker 1: Helicopters, sent dogs and search and rescue personnel go through
Speaker 1: Nuless card looking for any sign of Melanie, but nothing
Speaker 1: could be found. It was if she had simply vanished.
Speaker 1: There were a few reports of a girl matching Melany's
Speaker 1: description 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: a Facebook group in November twenty twenty. Here's part of
Speaker 1: that post. For many years, I felt that Melanie is
Speaker 1: no longer alive, and I know that finding the truth
Speaker 1: about her disappearance will not change that. I'm not driven
Speaker 1: by justice, anger or vengeance. I am a mother searching
Speaker 1: for a missing child so that I can give her
Speaker 1: the dignified memorials she deserves and enable my family to
Speaker 1: finally grieve, find closure, and heal. You may not be
Speaker 1: able to bring Melanie back to life, but by providing
Speaker 1: the police with the information needed to bring back her body,
Speaker 1: you can help me and my family begin to rebuild ours.
Speaker 1: Also in the Facebook group, Selene and others have made
Speaker 1: numerous posts about Dennis Levier, who is a family friend.
Speaker 1: Three days after Melanie's disappearance, Dennis made a chilling statement
Speaker 1: to Selene's mother, who had been staying at the home
Speaker 1: for birthday celebrations. According to the grandmother, which is Selene's mother,
Speaker 1: Dennis came round to the house and was smoking a
Speaker 1: cigarette in the basement, which is extremely out of character
Speaker 1: and something that Selene wouldn't have allowed. Then, as Dennis
Speaker 1: smoked a cigarette, he chillingly told the grandmother that the
Speaker 1: person responsible had to have been very strong. As previously mentioned,
Speaker 1: Melny had taken self defense classes and she also loved
Speaker 1: vallet and other sports, so she was in good shape
Speaker 1: and strong for rage. That wasn't the only chilling thing
Speaker 1: that Dennis said though he rolled up his sleeves and
Speaker 1: showed the grandmother of fresh, deep nail marks on his arm.
Speaker 1: This discovery sent shows through the fa family, but Dennis
Speaker 1: played it off and told Celine in the family that
Speaker 1: Melny had done that to him while they were playfighting
Speaker 1: in the days before she disappeared.
Speaker 2: 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 engage
Speaker 1: with miners. The scope of Melney'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: Melanie'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. Meldie Antia 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: seen wearing a green Nike jacket, blue jeans, a white
Speaker 1: T shirt with a blue heart Epei.
Speaker 2: Logo, and black boots.

Speaker 2: Number one.
Speaker 1: August Riger, Eighteen year old August Riger had recently graduated
Speaker 1: from the class in School of Advanced Studies and was
Speaker 1: even awarded the honor of being that year's Valedictorian. For August,
Speaker 1: life was just beginning and the world was truly his oyster,
Speaker 1: and he had earned himself a full scholarship at the
Speaker 1: University of Oklahoma. Unfortunately, that summer was snatched away right
Speaker 1: from under the nose of august family, and almost a
Speaker 1: decade later on, his case remains unsolved. On June sixteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, August and his family took the trip of
Speaker 1: a lifetime to Ecuador to celebrate his graduation. According to
Speaker 1: his parents, Chris and Randa, August had asked for a
Speaker 1: holiday to a Spanish speaking country as he wanted to
Speaker 1: practice in Spanish.
Speaker 2: His parents would.
Speaker 1: Later tell news outlets that this was just the kind
Speaker 1: of person August is, always wanting to learn and improve himself.
Speaker 1: The family packed up their things and headed to Ecuador,
Speaker 1: not knowing the horrors.
Speaker 2: That awaited them.
Speaker 1: The family was staying in Banos, Central Ecuador, and were
Speaker 1: counting down the days until their dream tour came around.
Speaker 1: The family had booked on to a three day tour
Speaker 1: the Amazon Jungle, something August was especially looking forward too.
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 Ecuadorian authorities. In
Speaker 1: twenty four hours after he was last seen. A search
Speaker 1: party was established to find the missing team. The governor's
Speaker 1: office of the province where the Riggers were staying made
Speaker 1: a statement in the wake of august disappearance, reassuring the
Speaker 1: media and US citizens watching the story closely that all
Speaker 1: efforts were being made to find the young man. Part
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: The article goes on.
Speaker 1: To say, a high school valedictorian from Oklahoma has been
Speaker 1: missing for more than a week at Ecuador, might have
Speaker 1: been spotted on the back of a truck headed toward
Speaker 1: the Amazon rainforest.
Speaker 2: The family told ABC.
Speaker 1: News this would be the only sighting of August, though,
Speaker 1: and as the months passed, more sightings would be called
Speaker 1: into the authorities. Christi Riager August Sand spoke to ko
Speaker 1: Co five News in twenty fourteen, telling the station that
Speaker 1: authorities had received several credible sightings of August over the
Speaker 1: last few weeks and that the family held out hope
Speaker 1: that August was still out there unharmed. This sentiment was
Speaker 1: also echoed on the Facebook page find August.
Speaker 2: Riager, which is run by his family.
Speaker 1: On May seventh, twenty fourteen, the post was made to
Speaker 1: the Facebook page reading we are excited to report that
Speaker 1: there have been a few recent sightings of August. We
Speaker 1: are grateful for the Ecuadorian citizens who are helping. Out
Speaker 1: of the goodness of their hearts, we will bring him home.
Speaker 1: Underneath this post, a comment was also added by the
Speaker 1: page that reads, no more info for now. The investigation
Speaker 1: is obviously active and on the move. Sharing too much
Speaker 1: could compromise that. Since then, the Ecuadorian authorities and August
Speaker 1: family have continued to look for him, and his family
Speaker 1: praised the authorities and the people of Ecuador. Posters with
Speaker 1: August face were widely distributed and it's a case that
Speaker 1: many Ecuadorians will not forget. Years have passed since August vanished,
Speaker 1: and his family still holds out hope that he is alive. Somewhere.
Speaker 1: No ransom demands have ever been made, and the authorities
Speaker 1: cannot figure out why anyone would have wanted to kidnap August.
Speaker 1: There's also the theory that August fell over the edge
Speaker 1: while on the hike, but his remains have never been
Speaker 1: recovered To support this theory, august family runs to find
Speaker 1: August rig or Facebook page, along with making media appearances
Speaker 1: to keep his story and public eye. August Rigger was
Speaker 1: last seen on June sixteenth, twenty thirteen, in the mountains
Speaker 1: of Banos in Ecuador. Photos showing possible alterations in august
Speaker 1: appearance are available via the Facebook page. Alternatively, you can
Speaker 1: contact your nearest US embassy or consulate office. Well, folks,
Speaker 1: there you have it. What do you think of these
Speaker 1: strange and creepy disappearances. I look forward to hearing your comments.
Speaker 1: Please keep it friendly and respect. Meanwhile, be good to
Speaker 1: yourselves and each other. Stay safe out there. As for me,
Speaker 1: I'll see you a little farther on down the trail.
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time. Hello, friends,
Speaker 1: Steve Stockton here with you in this video, We're going
Speaker 1: to be discussing some strange wilderness disappearances you may never
Speaker 1: have heard of. So sit back, relax, and let the
Speaker 1: stories begin.
Speaker 2: 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 Herald 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 CBA 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.
Speaker 2: Why. I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this mistake would almost cost Brian his life. After
Speaker 1: becoming stranded, Brian soon realized the mistake he had made.
Speaker 1: He had no shelter, no extra clothing, and only two
Speaker 1: small meals meant to sustain him for one day. As
Speaker 1: the sun rose on the second day, Brian desperately tried
Speaker 1: to continue his fight to find his way home. The
Speaker 1: freezing temperatures and snow did little to help of course,
Speaker 1: and by the third day he had to cut the
Speaker 1: laces and tongues out of his boots as they had
Speaker 1: frozen over. Now, with damaged boots, no food, no water,
Speaker 1: no warm clothes, Brian carried on walking. To make matters worse,
Speaker 1: Brian had gotten lost and had found himself on the
Speaker 1: sand dunes. His absence had gone unnoticed, though, and by
Speaker 1: the fifth day of him being missing, ragers from the
Speaker 1: park noticed that his car had been parked there an
Speaker 1: unusually long time. After failing to make contact with the owner,
Speaker 1: they set about looking for park rangers, along with volunteers,
Speaker 1: horsts and arrow units began scanning the park looking for
Speaker 1: any sign of the missing man, but there was nothing
Speaker 1: to be seen. Niffer dogs were even brought in, and
Speaker 1: while his footprints and scent were found, Brian wasn't. As
Speaker 1: the fifth day was drawn to a close, the outlook
Speaker 1: was looking very bleak for Brian, and his chance of
Speaker 1: survival was growing slimmer and slimmer by the minute. Then
Speaker 1: a miracle happened. He told CBS Denver, I'd given up
Speaker 1: on my mission to the stars. I saw a road
Speaker 1: and that's when I was discovered by rescuers. He was
Speaker 1: escorted to the Great Sand Dune Vister Center and said,
Speaker 1: I walk in there and I see a picture of
Speaker 1: myself on the bulletin board and a map. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I didn't you think people were looking
Speaker 1: for me? It was a miracle. Brian had been found
Speaker 1: alive and well after surviving for five days in below
Speaker 1: freezing temperatures without food, water, shelter, or adequate clothing. His
Speaker 1: extremities had suffered from frostbite, but he refused to accept
Speaker 1: medical treatment. Instead, all he asked of his rescuers was
Speaker 1: to help him get back home to New York. Brian's
Speaker 1: story doesn't end there, though. This wouldn't be the last
Speaker 1: time he would disappear into the wilderness. In early May
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Brian Skelenski would hit the headlines once again
Speaker 1: when he disappeared from the Great Sand Dunes National Park
Speaker 1: and Preserve.
Speaker 2: According to reports, Brian.
Speaker 1: Went missing and again Mark rangers discovered his car in
Speaker 1: a picnic area and tried to track him down. When
Speaker 1: they failed to do so, they got together a search
Speaker 1: and rescue team, But this time the outcome wasn't so bright. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: bad weather prevented the search teams from conducting a thorough search,
Speaker 1: and on June twenty eighth, twenty seventeen, Brian's body was
Speaker 1: discovered covered with deep snow. Number three Randy Rascoe. On
Speaker 1: November nineteenth, twenty fifteen, park rangers at the Mammoth Cave
Speaker 1: National Park in Kentucky noticed that a car had been
Speaker 1: sitting in the car park for around two weeks. This
Speaker 1: immediately set off warning bells, and after doing some digging
Speaker 1: for information, they discovered that the car belonged.
Speaker 2: To forty year old Randy Rascoe.
Speaker 1: As the car had been there for quite some time,
Speaker 1: the park rangers set about searching for Randy right away,
Speaker 1: but when he couldn't be found in or near the
Speaker 1: parking area, they opened an investigation and widened their search.
Speaker 1: Park rangers and investigators contacted Randy's family to see if
Speaker 1: they had spoken to him, but chillingly, they had been
Speaker 1: out of contact for a few months. According to his
Speaker 1: sister Sherry, up until May twenty fifteen, everything was normal
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. He was doing his normal things, hunting, fishing,
Speaker 1: and kept in contact with our brother who lived close
Speaker 1: to his Bowling Green apartment. Then one day, out of
Speaker 1: the blue, he packed up his belongings, quit his job,
Speaker 1: and had his mail forward it to another address, and
Speaker 1: just left. Cherry said they filed a missing person's report
Speaker 1: after they found out he had just fled and were
Speaker 1: worried as he had recently gotten divorced. For a month,
Speaker 1: the Rascoe family waited for any news, and in June
Speaker 1: he was found safe and sound in Washington State. Randy
Speaker 1: made it clear that he didn't want to speak to
Speaker 1: his family at that time and wanted to be alone.
Speaker 1: As painful as it was, his family respected his boundaries
Speaker 1: and assured him they would welcome him back with open
Speaker 1: arms whenever he was ready. For the next few months,
Speaker 1: it's believed that Randy traveled all around the US, all
Speaker 1: while maintaining his privacy and secrecy. His family didn't know
Speaker 1: that anything was wrong until the Mammoth Cave National Park
Speaker 1: rangers contacted them to let them know that his car
Speaker 1: had been found abandoned. This second disappearance, his family hoped
Speaker 1: that there would be a positive resolution, but sadly, as
Speaker 1: of 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, scarring the over fifty three
Speaker 1: thousand acres of land of the park. Despite their best
Speaker 1: efforts in multiple searches, no sign of Randy has ever
Speaker 1: been found, and his car is the only clue we
Speaker 1: have in terms of his mysterious disappearance. Randy Rascoe is
Speaker 1: described as a white male six foot two inches taught
Speaker 1: with black hair, hazel eyes, and a slim, athletic build.
Speaker 1: Anyone with any information is as to please contact the
Speaker 1: Mammoth Cave National Park at two seven zero seven five
Speaker 1: eight two one eight zero.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 1: Marine Kelly, eighteen year old Marine Kelly embarked on what
Speaker 1: she thought would be a spiritual adventure of a lifetime. However,
Speaker 1: this adventure quickly turned sour and she's been missing ever since.
Speaker 1: On June nineteenth, twenty thirteen, Marine and a group of
Speaker 1: friends arrived at the Canyon Creek Campground in the Gifford
Speaker 1: Pinchote National Park in Washington State, ready to camp and
Speaker 1: hang out together and have a good time. The friends
Speaker 1: were relaxing and taking in the natural beauty of the
Speaker 1: park when Marine abruptly announced that she was going on
Speaker 1: a spiritual adventure. She took off all of her clothes,
Speaker 1: removed her shoes, and was equipped with nothing but a
Speaker 1: fanny pack that's believed to have held a pocket knife accompass.
Speaker 2: In a few.
Speaker 1: Matches after declaring that she was going on a spiritual adventure,
Speaker 1: Marine headed out into the woods, never to be seen again.
Speaker 1: Mariene didn't tell her friends how long she was going
Speaker 1: to be or even where she was headed, but 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 commandee 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 2: The footprints showed that Marine.
Speaker 1: Had perhaps headed north towards for Service fifty four road,
Speaker 1: but as previously mentioned, the trail ended where the road began.
Speaker 1: Helicopters were brought in, but they were unable to search
Speaker 1: for Marine in the initial hours and days following her
Speaker 1: disappearance due to severe weather conditions. Nineteen year old Marine
Speaker 1: Kelly remains missing and this Caamania County Sheriff's Office is
Speaker 1: still no closer to finding out what happened to her.
Speaker 1: Many believe that she succumbed to the elments that very night,
Speaker 1: but as her body has never been found, nobody knows
Speaker 1: for sure. Marine is described as an Asian Pacific islander
Speaker 1: with black hair, brown eyes. She stands five foot seven
Speaker 1: inches tall and weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 1: Anyone with any information is asked to please contact this
Speaker 1: Comania County Sheriff's Office five zero nine four two seven
Speaker 1: ninety four nine zero in reference case number thirteen DASH
Speaker 1: zero four zero eight one number one Cat Hamententree. On
Speaker 1: April eleventh, twenty nineteen, sixty eight year old Cat Hamententree,
Speaker 1: her dog Tutsi, her husband, her daughter, and a group
Speaker 1: of other hikers off into the San Felipe Desert in
Speaker 1: Baja California and Mexico. The group were either headed for
Speaker 1: or near the Diablo Canyon. Ouh oh one tragedy struck
Speaker 1: in this community. We know all about places with devil
Speaker 1: in the name. According to the Seattle Times, Kate had
Speaker 1: lived in Mexico for the past twenty years. He would
Speaker 1: often make the trip to Seattle, Washington to visit her
Speaker 1: friends and family. The details surrounding casts disappearance are sparse,
Speaker 1: but here is what we do know. According to Kat's daughter,
Speaker 1: Desiree Blair, about ten minutes into the hike, Cat complained
Speaker 1: that she had hurt her foot or ankle and told
Speaker 1: the group that she would take a quick break while
Speaker 1: they continued on. Her husband later commented that the injury
Speaker 1: seemed severe and he believed the Cat may have actually
Speaker 1: broken her foot or ankle. The group left Cat and
Speaker 1: her dog, Tutsi behind as they made their way to
Speaker 1: the waterfall, and as they circled back around, Cat was
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Her husband, Warren Sunquist, went and
Speaker 1: waited at their car, thinking that perhaps she had headed there,
Speaker 1: but she never showed up. Hours passed and there was
Speaker 1: no sign of Cat. The group and her family reported
Speaker 1: her missing. Cat was very familiar with the area and
Speaker 1: showed no concerns about being left alone while the others
Speaker 1: finished their height. Chasso apparently showed no signs of distress,
Speaker 1: making her disappearance all the more mystifying. After Cat was
Speaker 1: reported missing, search and rescue crews, volunteers, and even the
Speaker 1: Mexican Armed Forces all pitched in to help find her,
Speaker 1: but as of twenty twenty two, no trace has ever
Speaker 1: been found. The authorities in San Felipe did believe at
Speaker 1: one point that someone in the hiking group may have
Speaker 1: been responsible, however, although everyone present was questioned and no
Speaker 1: charges have ever been brought about. One theory suggests that
Speaker 1: Cat perhaps stumbled across cartel activity and that she was
Speaker 1: taken out for what she saw. Another theory is that
Speaker 1: Cat was attacked by wild animal, but the first attending
Speaker 1: officers noted that the scene was devoid of any signs
Speaker 1: of a struggle.
Speaker 2: There was no blood. As of this recording.
Speaker 1: In March or twenty twenty two, kat Hamantree and her
Speaker 1: dog Kutsi remain missing and her family are desperate for answers.
