<v Speaker 1>Hello friends. Steve Stockton here this video. Our popular request

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 1>is a marathon of some of our creepiest cases ever.

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Join me, let's walk and see hello friends. In this video,

4
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we bring you some of the most unbelievably bizarre and

5
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>creepiest disappearances we've ever covered. Some of these defy the imagination,

6
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>so buckle up, let's going to be a wild ride.

7
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>First disappearance Jeremiah Foco. Thirty six year old Jeremiah Focal

8
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>left his apartment headed for his job as a software

9
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>engineer at Oracle in Bellevue, Washington, on July twenty second,

10
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen, only can never be seen or heard from again.

11
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Jeremiah grew up in.

12
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Standish, Michigan, a small town with around fourteen hundred residents,

13
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>and graduated from the Stanish Sterling Central High School. In

14
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>his spare time, Jeremiah enjoyed golfing and snowboarding, and Jeremiah's

15
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 1>parents still called the small town home. On July twenty second,

16
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen, Jeremiah phoned his boss at Oracle, telling him

17
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>that he was coming into the office to get his

18
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>laptop prepared, but he never arrived. This was extremely out

19
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>of character for Jeremiah with his father, Edward, telling ABC News,

20
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 1>it makes no sense. Something had to have happened. As

21
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>the hours pass, his boss waited for Jeremiah to arrive

22
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>for that moment never came. His boss then contacted Jeremiah's

23
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>family to let them know what was going on and

24
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 1>to ask if they had seen him or had contact

25
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>with him. His family was shocked to hear that Jeremiah

26
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>had shown up to work, and they in turn contacted

27
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the police in Seattle. The Seattle Police Department took Jeremiah's

28
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 1>disappearance very seriously from the get go and began retracing

29
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Jeremiah's last known movements. CCTV cameras showed Jeremiah pulling into

30
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the parking garage or his apartment complex at twelve o

31
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>seven am on July twenty second, twenty fifteen. This wasn't

32
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the only piece of cct footage that the Seattle police uncovered.

33
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Later that day, a man matching Jeremiah's description is seen

34
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>walking down the stairs of the International District Bus Station,

35
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the bus station that Jeremiah used to get to work.

36
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 1>The man can be seen walking down the stairs carrying

37
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a backpack. Friends and family there convinced that the man

38
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>in the footage is Jeremiah. The close friend of Jeremiah's

39
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Jocelyn Combra, told two thirteen Fox News, it's nice to

40
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>see him.

41
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>We know that he was.

42
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay as of seven oh two Wednesday. It was comforting

43
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to see him walk and see the back of his head.

44
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Just as the man approaches the bottom of the stairs

45
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>and walks toward the tunnel, the footage glitches out. Once

46
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the glitch clears, the man is gone and there are.

47
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>No further sightings of him.

48
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>The Seattle Police have never publicly confirmed towards the man

49
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>in the footage is indeed Jeremiah renee Tarchan, Jeremiah's mother,

50
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>told ABC News, every day I think that this can't

51
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>be real. Yet every day I wake up and it's real.

52
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 1>He got up, got ready for work, and fell off

53
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the planet. I just hope him, pray every day that

54
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>there will be some sign. On August twenty fifth, twenty fifteen,

55
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Joscelyn Combra, who runs the Facebook page Missing Jeremiah foc

56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>posted all known activity including last phone call, financial activity, employment,

57
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>presence of vehicle use, high cloud use, bus pass use,

58
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>even a visual by the survellans of the parking lot

59
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>atm And apartment complex. All activity ended by midnight the

60
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 1>morning of Wednesday, July twenty second, twenty fifteen, on the

61
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>day that he disappeared. For whatever reason, Jeremiah did not

62
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>use his bus pass. He is on Reddit have speculated

63
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 1>that the person seen in the bus station is Jeremiah.

64
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's speculate that the ticket system was down and therefore

65
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>his pass would have not registered any activity. As Jeremiah

66
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>has been missing for some time, he had not paid

67
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>his rent and his family were subsequently served with an eviction,

68
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>noted in a further post dated January tenth, twenty sixteen,

69
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>on the Facebook page Joscelyn wrote. As mentioned in the

70
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>previous updates, a group of his friends came with trucks

71
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>and waited on the curve for his belongings to be

72
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>placed outside the u Watjemiah Village apartments. The follow normal

73
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>eviction protocol. We es savaged all his personal belongings such

74
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>as documents, clothes, memorabilia, and some household items, but we

75
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 1>weren't able to store at larger furniture. Currently, his belongings

76
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 1>are stored in the garage in one of his friend's houses.

77
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>They are slowly going through his belongings to search for clothes,

78
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>but nothing yet. We found the shirt and shorts he

79
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>was positively idd in in the apartment surveillance video in

80
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>his dirty.

81
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Hamper, so we know that he changed.

82
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Since twelve seven am Wednesday, July twenty second, twenty fifteen,

83
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>we continue to call his cell phone and the number

84
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>has now been disconnected. Bizarrely, after Jeremiah's disappearance, his car

85
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>was found behind his apartment on sixth Avenue South. Not

86
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 1>as unknown whether Jeremiah or another person moved his car

87
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>out of the parking garage. Since their son's disappearance, Jeremiah's

88
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>parents have been heavily involved with the Seattle Police Department

89
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and blew out to Seattle to help with the search

90
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for his parents also provided DNA samples to the police

91
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>department to the identification of remains would be faster in

92
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the event that Jeremiah was found. Around twenty to twenty

93
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>five of Jeremiah's closest friends and family dedicate their time

94
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to keeping the investigation alive and undertaking their own investigation.

95
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 1>The Seattle Police Department does not suspect that Jeremiah met

96
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>with foul play. However, they have stated that his case

97
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is still active and open. Jeremiah Focal was thirty six

98
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 1>years old when he was last seen on July twenty second,

99
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen. He's described as white male with brown hair

100
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and brown eyes. Jeremiah sometimes uses the nickname Jay. The

101
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>sports a shaved head. He was last seen wearing a

102
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>black T shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, and also wore

103
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>glasses for reading. If you have any information about the

104
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 1>mysterious disappearance of Jeremiah Focal, you are asked to please

105
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>contact the Seattle Police Department at two zero six six

106
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:15.560

107
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>old Jean Johnson lived a quiet and peaceful life in Capitan,

108
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico, in twenty nineteen.

109
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Seven years earlier, in.

110
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Twenty twelve, Jean's beloved husband had passed away, and since

111
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>then there was a hold in her heart that only

112
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 1>one man could ever fild. Jean found it incredibly difficult

113
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to move on and wore a pendant filled with his

114
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.839
<v Speaker 1>ashes on a necklace close to her heart, as well

115
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 1>as wearing her wedding ring. By all accounts, Jeane was

116
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a loving grandmother, mother, and wife, and devoted her time

117
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to play with her grandchildren and talking to her friends

118
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>in town. She also enjoyed gardening and taking life at

119
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a slope pace. So when Gene mysteriously vanished into thin

120
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>air and failed to make contact with her daughter, Heidi

121
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>her family, he knew something was very wrong. On Sunday,

122
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>May twenty sixth, twenty nineteen, Jean was dog sitting for

123
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a friend who was out of town, and at some

124
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>point during the day, Jean snapped a sephie of her

125
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>and the dog and sent it to her daughter, Heidi.

126
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Heid He told Dateline, she sent me a picture of

127
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>her and the dog relaxing. My mother was my best friend.

128
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 1>We were very close. We talked at least three times

129
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a day. This is the last known contact from Jane,

130
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>and after this she mysteriously vanished into thin air. On Monday,

131
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the twenty seventh of May twenty nineteen, Heidi attempted to

132
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>call her mother that evening, but got no answer. In

133
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 1>an NBC News report, Heidie tells reporter Andrew Cavalier that

134
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 1>she was working all day and her ten year old

135
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 1>son had a friend over that night, so calling her

136
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 1>mother and slipped her mind until the evening. Then she

137
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 1>tried to call her again on Tuesday, the twenty eighth

138
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>of May twenty nineteen, but again received no answer. Idie

139
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>became concerned that her mother wasn't answering her phone, and

140
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the next phone call she received turned her world upside down.

141
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 1>The friend that Geene had been dog sitting for called

142
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Heidi to let her know that Geene had never dropped

143
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the dog off on Monday, the twenty seventh of May

144
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. As played, this phone call confirmed Hatti's suspicions

145
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 1>that something was terribly wrong, and she dropped everything to

146
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>rush over to her mother's house. She told NBC News

147
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 1>that's when I'm panning. I just felt like something was

148
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 1>terribly wrong. I had a bad feeling the entire way.

149
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>As Heidi pulled up outside of her mother's home, located

150
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 1>on Towey Road in cap Ten, New Mexico, her stomach sang.

151
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 2>The gate into the driveway was.

152
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Locked, and Jeane's car was also locked and parked on

153
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 1>the driveway. Id he peered into the car and saw

154
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>her mother's phone in person the but there was no

155
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>sign of her mother. The front door was described as

156
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>being slightly ajar, but nothing in the home appeared to

157
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>be out of the ordinary. As Heidi stepped inside, she

158
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 1>found the dog that her mother had.

159
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Been dog sitting.

160
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>The dog was fine, saved for a few accidents it

161
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>had around the house. Still, there was no sign of gene.

162
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Iidi checked her mother's home, hoping that she would find

163
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 1>her somewhere. As she moved throughout the apartment, she noticed

164
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>that one thing was missing. Through fifty seven caliber pistol

165
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that Jean kept in the house for protection. I'd he

166
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>told investigators that her mother would only use the gun

167
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>if she was scared. Initially, investigators feared that Jean had

168
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>used the gun to take her own life. I'd he

169
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>called the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office shortly after and reported

170
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 1>her mother missing, triggering an investigation. In a strange twist,

171
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 1>the gun was turned into the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office

172
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>two months later by an unknown person. The Sheriff's office

173
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 1>has not released the description of the person who had

174
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it in the gun, and they remained unidentified. The Lincoln

175
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, we're not ruling

176
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>anybody in and we're not ruling anybody out because we

177
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know yet. Jean's ten acre property has been extensively searched,

178
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>but no evidence was found. Heidi did tell investigators that

179
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>her mother was sometimes forgiveful, but had no history of

180
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>wandering off. Seventy year old Jean Johnson was last heard

181
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.600

182
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>last confirmed whereabouts are at her home on Towy Road

183
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 1>in Capitin, New Mexico. Jeane is described as a white

184
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>female with gray and brown hair and green eyes. Jeane's

185
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>had a left mestectomy and her right breast is intact.

186
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>She also has a previous fracture to one of her

187
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>big toes and her ears are pierced. We do not

188
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 1>know what Jane was wearing on the day her disappearance,

189
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and her general descriptions listed as five six, one hundred

190
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and thirty pounds. Her daughter, Heidi, said that she was

191
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 1>possibly wearing a silver wedding band with three diamonds and

192
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a clear pendant with her husband's ashes inside. If you

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>have any information, you're urged to contact the Lincoln County

203
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>To host a Super Bowl party.

204
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Abby and her friends were eager to watch the San

205
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Francisco forty nine Ers versus the Kansas City Chiefs in

206
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate NFL showdown, but when her friends arrived at

207
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>her house around six pm, there was no sign of her.

208
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Her friends were incredibly confused as everything was set up

209
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and ready for the party, lovin was still warm, and

210
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Abby's phone was laid out on the table. After searching

211
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the house and finding no sign of her, her concerned

212
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 1>friends called the Gloucester Police Department report her.

213
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Missing and commonly.

214
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>The chief of police said there were indications that she

215
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 1>had been at home, that she had prepared for the party,

216
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 1>but she was not there at the time of the party.

217
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Abby's husband was in Houston, Texas, and her children were

218
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>away of college, leaving just Abby in the home. Now

219
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 1>there are conflicting reports surrounding Abby's final movements. Some articles

220
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>say that she spoke to her son at two forty pm,

221
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>while some say four PM, and others say yet four

222
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 1>thirty pm. While we do not have an accurate time,

223
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 1>we do know that at some point in the afternoon,

224
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Abby did indeed call her son and told him that

225
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>she was going for a walk. This fact was confirmed

226
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>by residents who reported seeing Abby at around four thirty

227
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>pm that day. After this, Abby has never been seen

228
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>or heard from again. Abby's family told investigators that she

229
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 1>was a keen hiker and loved being outdoors. She was

230
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.039
<v Speaker 1>experienced and knew how to traverse the landscape around her,

231
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>making her disappearance all the more mysterious. The investigation began

232
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 1>almost right away, with investigators searching long.

233
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Into the night for Abby.

234
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:44.559
<v Speaker 1>According to news reports, detectives, officers, police dogs, and land,

235
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>sea and air patrols were sent out for Abby, and sadly,

236
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>they found nothing.

237
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>The Glacester Police Department.

238
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Believes that Abbey had an accident or a medical emergency

239
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>during her walk. However, no remains have ever been found.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Fauna Fry. In June twenty twenty, forty five year old

254
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Fawn Foe all Right was coping with a very recent

255
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>passing of her brother Dalla. Fauna's father, John said that

256
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the two siblings were very close as they were each

257
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 1>other's only siblings, and the death of her brother had

258
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.399
<v Speaker 1>impacted her deep. On June twenty eighth, twenty twenty, Bonna

259
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>called her father John from a phone at a Super

260
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>eight hotel to check in with him. According to John,

261
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Fauna intended to go to Grant's Pass, Oregon, from her

262
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>home in Dexter, Oregon, to visit friends and take a

263
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 1>short vacation to help her cope with her grief.

264
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>While on the.

265
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Phone, John noticed that Fauna sounded disoriented and wasn't acting

266
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>her usual self. During the phone call, Fauna told her

267
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>father that she had picked up a hitchhiker near Wilderville, Oregon.

268
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 1>John told ABC thirteen News, she talked to me about

269
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.799
<v Speaker 1>angels and then about the hitchhiker. It wasn't really like

270
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.639
<v Speaker 1>her to pick up hitchhikers, so I knew she was

271
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 1>disoriented and very much in grief. She was very upset,

272
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 1>and on June twenty ninth, twenty twenty, Fauna was spotted

273
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Unquo Bank in Rogue River, Oregon and withdrew

274
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.559
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars. There's also apparent CCTV footage showing Fauna

282
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Faunda's financial records and found that she had used her

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff's Office, with detectives, investigators, and volunteers all working together

302
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 1>to help search for fauna. Investigators believed she may have

303
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 1>been camping in the area. However, search has turned up nothing. Then,

304
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 1>on September twenty third, Fonda's two thousand and four door

305
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 1>blue g grand cher keeler Rado was found on a

306
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>dead and spur off Reuben Mountain Road six miles past

307
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the Grave Creek boat landing in Josephine County. Bonna's car

308
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>was locked and investigators found personal items along with food

309
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 1>inside the car.

310
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Her car was.

311
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Also processed for evidence, and according to the Oregon State Police,

312
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 1>fingerprints and DNA samples were recovered, but these have not

313
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>been processed. This is because the Oregon State Police have

314
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>no evidence to suggest that a crime was committed or

315
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.079
<v Speaker 1>occurred at the scene, and they are having to prioritize

316
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>their case.

317
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Low.

318
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 1>The hitchhiker that was with Fauna, was extensively questioned and

319
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.799
<v Speaker 1>ruled Ou as a suspect. As this is the case,

320
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 1>their name has been withheld from the puble. Oregon State

321
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Police have no reason to believe that faunham met with

322
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>foul play, However, they are still investigating the case. Her father,

383
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Travis Murrow forty year old Travis Murrow was a devoted

384
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 1>father of four, although some friends have said that he

385
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.039
<v Speaker 1>was sometimes a little rough around the edges. On my

386
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 1>friend told NBC News, a true friend is real hard

387
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to come by, and good dads are real hard to

388
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:11.039
<v Speaker 1>come by, and Travis he was both. Travis enjoyed rodeos

389
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in bull riding and even encourages four children to do

390
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 1>the same, taking joy and seeing his children compete and

391
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>have a good time. On August twenty fourth, twenty fourteen,

392
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Travis visited an acquaintance in Enid, Oklahoma. Travis made several

393
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 1>text of friends and family that day, telling them that

394
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 1>he was in the Enid and Canton areas of Oklahoma.

395
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Travis was last seen at the acquaintan's house and is

396
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.480
<v Speaker 1>believed that he was headed for Oakwood or Selling, Oklahoma

397
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 1>to visit one of his former girlfriends. However, Travis never

398
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>showed up at one of his former girlfriend's houses and

399
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the last confirmed movement from Travis is a phone calling

400
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>place to one of these girlfriends at around ten pm

401
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 1>on August twenty fourth, twenty fourteen. After this, Travis has

402
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 1>never been seen or heard from again. Later that evening,

403
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Travis's dodged Dakota pickup truck was found near Canton Lake

404
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>in Dewey County, Oklahoma. This truck had been locked and abandoned,

405
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>but there was no sign of Travis or his personal

406
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 1>belongings anywhere.

407
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>The Alval Police Department.

408
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Confirmed that there were no signs of a struggle, but

409
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>they did launch a full scale search for him. Days

410
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of searching by land and air showed no signs of Travis,

411
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>and in the days after his disappearance, the Album Police

412
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Department requested the involvement of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

413
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>In a statement to the Enid News Eagle, Jessica Brown

414
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of the OSBI said, we wouldn't have taken it probably

415
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>as a full investigation, did we not believe that Bob

416
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Play could be involved. Many people have speculated that Travis

417
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.240
<v Speaker 1>disappeared of his own accord because at the time of

418
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>his disappearance he had outstanding warts for his rest. His

419
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.839
<v Speaker 1>family has heavily disputed these claims, saying that Travis was

420
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a devoted father and would not have left of his

421
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 1>own accord. Forty ear old Travis Murrow was last seen

422
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>on August twenty fourth, twenty fourteen, in Enid, Oklahoma. He

423
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 1>is described as a light mail with light brown hair

424
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 1>and blue eyes. He also wears glasses. Travis has a

425
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>two to three inch scar on his left wrist that

426
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>extends from the palm to four arm scar on his

427
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>left thigh, and three scars on his chest. He has

428
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>attached to a bull skull with four feathers hanging from

429
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the horns on his right bicep. Is believed that he

430
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>was last seen wearing Western style clothing. Travis stands at

431
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>five foot nine inches tall and weighs one hundred and

442
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>People just suddenly vanish from the face of the earth

443
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>with no rhyme reason, seemingly having made no plans to

444
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 1>do so. Curious indeed, I look forward to your comments,

445

<v Speaker 1>but we asked that you please keep it friendly and respectful,

00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>to the second installment in Her Creepiest Disappearances.

452
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Series. Tonight, We'll bring you.

453
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Five more of the most bizarre, strange disappearances we've come across.

454
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Sit back and relax. I'll coll up your seat belts.

455
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.119
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a wild ride. Number five.

456
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Lynn Palmer seventy one year old retired nurse mar Lynn

457
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Lynn Palmer is an active member in her community in

458
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Fall River Mills, California. Lynn had previously worked at the

459
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.119
<v Speaker 1>local hospice and was known to many around town her

460
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>incredible work. Just because Lynn had retired, it didn't mean

461
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.759
<v Speaker 1>that she planned on slowing down. She volunteered at a

462
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.799
<v Speaker 1>thrift store to help keep her occupied and maintained the

463
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 1>busy social life. In an interview for NBC, Lynn's son Dave,

464
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 1>said she went bowling with friends every Tuesday night, and

465
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 1>she was proud that she could go on a four

466
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>mile walk and be fine, as well as a volunteer

467
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.799
<v Speaker 1>at four to five times per week. On April twentieth,

468
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, Lynn spent the day volunteering at the thrift

469
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>store before returning to her home in the twenty three

470
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 1>thousand block of Castle Fall River Road, an unpopulated but

471
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 1>beautiful area. According to her son, Lynn walked through the

472
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 1>door at around four point thirty pm, said hello to

473
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>her husband, Bob, and grabbed a light beer out.

474
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Of the fridge.

475
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Lynn left the house once again, but this time to

476
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 1>walk the dog Lucy that they had been taken care

477
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>of for a few days. Lucy, the dog belonged to

478
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Lynn's stepdaughter and Bob's biological daughter, and according to articles,

479
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>they had been looking after her for a few days

480
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.839
<v Speaker 1>while the owner was unavailable. Lynn and Lucy headed southeast

481
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 1>from the home and into the woods, and it would

482
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 1>before agonizing days until there was any sign of eitheringden.

483
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.279
<v Speaker 1>After fifteen minutes had passed and Lynn still hadn't turned home,

484
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Bob began to worry. He knew that Lynn's route should

485
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>have only taken her fifteen minutes. Then another ten minutes

486
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>passed and there was still no sign of Lynn or Lucy. Concerned,

487
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Bob left the house and began looking for them. I

488
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>found no sign of them. When forty five minutes had passed,

489
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Bob began going door to door and asking neighbors if

490
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>they had seemed to do off. To his horror, no

491
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>one had. Now in a state of panic, Bob called

492
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Lynn's brother in law, who's a volunteer firefighter with the

493
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Fall River Mills Fire Department and asked for their assistance

494
00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>in finding Lynn.

495
00:30:59.440 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Her brother in law.

496
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Allt sprung into action and along with Bob home to

497
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the area for an hour, but.

498
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:04.960
<v Speaker 2>To no avail.

499
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Realizing that something was very wrong at this point, Bob

500
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.759
<v Speaker 1>picked up the phone and called the Shasta County Sheriff's

501
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Department to officially report his wife missing. By this point,

502
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Lynn's family had been made aware of her sudden and

503
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 1>mysterious disappearance and came from all over the US to

504
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 1>help with the search. The local community soon caught wind

505
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 1>of Lynn's disappearance, and in a Facebook post, the Sheriff's

506
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>department said the Shasta County Search and Rescue was activated

507
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.599
<v Speaker 1>and numerous resources were deployed to the area to aid

508
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>in the search from his Palmer. These resources included dirt riders,

509
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>mounted posseing ground team, jeepers, and mountain Rescue. The Shasta

510
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>County Sheriff's Office will continue to search for his palmer

511
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 1>throughout the night. For four days, the Shasta County and

512
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the team was mentioned above searched for Lynne, but there

513
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 1>was just no sign up.

514
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Then on the.

515
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Fourth day, April twenty fourth, something miraculous happened. Abra called

516
00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:14.799
<v Speaker 1>the event and an NBC interview, saying suddenly the missing

517
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>dog came back.

518
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>On day four. They immediately brought her into the house.

519
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:21.359
<v Speaker 1>There was food and water for and she went and

520
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>drank some water. But it was weird because she didn't

521
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.119
<v Speaker 1>eat any of the food. Another day passed and sadly,

522
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the search was officially called off after there was no

523
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.559
<v Speaker 1>evidence found. Lynn's family weren't given up that easily and

524
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 1>brought in the Mendocino County Sniffer Dog in it to

525
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.519
<v Speaker 1>see if their dogs would be able to shed some

526
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:45.799
<v Speaker 1>light on her mysterious disappearance. According to Dave, Lynn's son,

527
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 1>the dog tractor sent along her main walking route out

528
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to an abandoned trailer, into a dirt road, and then

529
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:56.319
<v Speaker 1>out to the main road. The scent disappeared at the

530
00:32:56.359 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 1>main road. Since Lynn's mysterious disappearance in April twenty eighteen,

531
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.279
<v Speaker 1>her family had continued their search for a month after

532
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>she went missing. The Shasta County Sheriff's office said that

533
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:13.119
<v Speaker 1>she was considered missing under suspicious circumstances, and her case

534
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:17.039
<v Speaker 1>has remained open ever since. Now in the months before

535
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.160
<v Speaker 1>her disappearance, Lynn had begun showing signs of dementia, and

536
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 1>her son Dave, said there were just some things she

537
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 1>would have to repeat or things she would not remember.

538
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Her family maintains that she couldn't have gotten lost on

539
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.640
<v Speaker 1>her walk due to the confusion, as it was her route,

540
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 1>she woke often and only started to forget the little things, Plus.

541
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 2>The dog knew the route as well.

542
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Lynn's family are desperate for answers and her offering a

543
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 1>five thousand dollars reward for any information that leads to

544
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>her whereabouts. Dave is adamant that his mother did not

545
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.920
<v Speaker 1>leave of her own accord, telling NBC, there's one thing

546
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I do know. She didn't take off on.

547
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Her own will.

548
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:59.440
<v Speaker 1>So her body is still out there, and the dog

549
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.359
<v Speaker 1>stayed until she passed away, and we just haven't found

550
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>her body yet. Or someone took her and either they

551
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 1>took the dog with her, or the dog followed them and.

552
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Then came back.

553
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 1>They could have disposed of her, or the rare cases

554
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that they.

555
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Still have her.

556
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Laura Lynn Lynn Palmer was last seen on April twentieth,

557
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. She has described as a white female with

558
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.400
<v Speaker 1>brown hair and brown eyes. Both of her ears appierced,

559
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and she has an appendectomy scar on her abdomen. Lynn

560
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was last seen wearing a T shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes,

561
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and earrings, and was possibly carrying a can of light

562
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.119
<v Speaker 1>beer and was wearing her glasses that have thick lenses.

<v Speaker 2>Number four.

572
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Stacy Smart Fifty two year old Stacy Smart was reported

573
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.840
<v Speaker 1>missing by her daughter, Nicole Santos Haman on November two,

574
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:24.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, after nobody had heard from her for a while.

575
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.480
<v Speaker 1>On that same day, if you'll recall, Sherry Peppini also

576
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>mysteriously disappeared, only to be found alive weeks later. The

577
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Penie's case garnered international media attention, while Stacy's case has

578
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.119
<v Speaker 1>been largely overshadowed and forgotten. About it, but here at

579
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Missing Persons Mysteries. We want to make sure that we

580
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:48.880
<v Speaker 1>give Stacy's case as much exposure as possible and extend

581
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.760
<v Speaker 1>our condolences to her family and pray that they find

582
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.599
<v Speaker 1>closures soon.

583
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.719
<v Speaker 2>The details in.

584
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Stacy's case are few and far between. Nicole, Stacy's daughter,

585
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.159
<v Speaker 1>says that she last spoke to her mother on October twelfth.

586
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Twenty sixteen, and knew that she was going to.

587
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:10.199
<v Speaker 1>A housewarming party in Lewiston, California, on October fifteenth, twenty sixteen.

588
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:15.639
<v Speaker 1>By October sixteenth, all activity on Stacy's bank cards had stopped,

589
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.039
<v Speaker 1>and as Halloween rolled around, she failed to make contact

590
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.840
<v Speaker 1>with her family, which was extremely out of character. Her

591
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 1>daughter also told Crime Watch Daily that Stacy's landline had

592
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.000
<v Speaker 1>been disconnected, which deeply concerned the family. At the time

593
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:34.519
<v Speaker 1>of her disappearance, Stacy was living with her boyfriend Tony Brand,

594
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.639
<v Speaker 1>and Brand has never commented on why he did reports

595
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend missing or make contact with her family if he

596
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.840
<v Speaker 1>knew she was okay in the interim period before.

597
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:44.639
<v Speaker 2>She was reported missing.

598
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Stacy's daughter, Nicole told news media that a month before

599
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 1>her mother was steriously disappeared, she'd called her grandmother in tears,

600
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:55.719
<v Speaker 1>saying that Brand had been cheating on her and that

601
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>the two had gotten into an argument.

602
00:36:58.400 --> 00:36:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Stacy later followed up.

603
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.719
<v Speaker 1>With her family, claiming that the two had made up,

604
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>then a month later.

605
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:04.519
<v Speaker 2>She vanished.

606
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Investigators are keeping very tight lipped about the investigation into

607
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Stacy's disappearance, and although her case was featured on an

608
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 1>episode of Crime Watch Daily a Few Leads of Service.

609
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:20.159
<v Speaker 1>One interesting thing to note about this episode, which is

610
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>available to watch on YouTube, is that Brand spoke with

611
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the producers of the show but refused to be on camera,

612
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 1>instead opting.

613
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 2>To just give a statement. Now, this is in no

614
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:31.840
<v Speaker 2>way saying that he's.

615
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Guilty, but it is an important thing to note. The

616
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:38.519
<v Speaker 1>statement provided by Brand, read by his lawyer Douglas Gardner,

617
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>said Tony was in a loving, intimate relationship with Stacy

618
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.559
<v Speaker 1>which ended with as much mystery to.

619
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Him as anyone else.

620
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:49.599
<v Speaker 1>He is fully cooperated with the investigators in this case

621
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.679
<v Speaker 1>and is afraid for Stacy as.

622
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Any of her other loves.

623
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Law enforcement confirmed that Brand had been cooperative during their

624
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>initial investigation, but the classes that is lawyer Douglas Gardner

625
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:04.360
<v Speaker 1>be present when he took a light detector test. The

626
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.079
<v Speaker 1>results of these tests have never been made public, and

627
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.000
<v Speaker 1>we probably shouldn't put too much weight or validity into.

628
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Those results anybody. After all, there is a.

629
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Reason that light detector tests aren't admissible in most courts

630
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.079
<v Speaker 1>across the world. A KRCR article written in November twenty nineteen,

631
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:26.719
<v Speaker 1>through years after Stacy's mysterious disappearance, mentions Angie Foresland, a

632
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>search manager who was hired by Stacy's family following her disappearance.

633
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:35.519
<v Speaker 1>The article reads, angi Foresland, the search manager hired by

634
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the Smart family to find Stacy, told KRCR in an

635
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>interview of twenty sixteen she believes he's a suspect in

636
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>her disappearance. According to Forceland and the family, Smart's boyfriend

637
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:49.840
<v Speaker 1>changed the carpet in his home near Lewiston Lake after

638
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Smart was reported missile. He also told the family she

639
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:56.920
<v Speaker 1>had moved out. Stacy Smart last made contact with her

640
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:00.760
<v Speaker 1>family on October twelfth, twenty sixteen, have been seen or

641
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.440
<v Speaker 1>heard from since. Investigators have not stated where they believe

642
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:06.960
<v Speaker 1>she has met with foul play, and the investigation is

643
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 1>currently ongoing. Stacy Smart is described as a white female

644
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with blond hair. And blue eyes. At the time her disappearance,

645
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>her hair was platinum blonde and in a pixie style cut.

646
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Stacy also has a tattoo of a red lotus blown

647
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:24.079
<v Speaker 1>on her lower back and likes to wear hats. Stacy's

648
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:26.159
<v Speaker 1>family are desperate for answers and have teamed up with

649
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a Secret Witness Program to offer a ten thousand dollars

650
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:33.199
<v Speaker 1>reward for any information that leads to her. Her family's

651
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:37.320
<v Speaker 1>also set up a GoFundMe. If you have any information,

652
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you're urged contact either the Trinity County Sheriff's Department on

656
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Marie Gilbert twenty four year old Aaron Marie Gilbert had

657
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the world at her feet, and her family described her

658
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.239
<v Speaker 1>as a smart and responsible young woman who was athletic

659
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.920
<v Speaker 1>but also knew how to glam it up. Aaron loved

660
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:12.800
<v Speaker 1>playing basketball. At being six foot tall, she was perfect

661
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 1>for the sport. Her family commented that she was always happy,

662
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.199
<v Speaker 1>someone who was looking forward to all of her tomorrows,

663
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:25.119
<v Speaker 1>But sadly, Aaron's seemingly endless supplies of tomorrow were cut short,

664
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.159
<v Speaker 1>and she has been officially listed as a missing person

665
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>since July first, nineteen ninety five.

666
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:33.800
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen ninety.

667
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Four, Aaron moved from her native San Francisco, California, and Everett, Washington,

668
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to Anchorage, Alaska. Darren had gotten herself a job as

669
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a nanny, and by nineteen ninety five she was living

670
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:48.119
<v Speaker 1>with her sister, Stephanie and had enrolled herself in beauty school,

671
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.440
<v Speaker 1>which was due to start in the autumn of nineteen

672
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.119
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. When asked about the drastic move from the

673
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:58.440
<v Speaker 1>mainland USA to Alaska, her sister Stephanie told NBC News,

674
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>my husband travel a lot for work, and I was

675
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>alone so much of the time, so I told Aaron

676
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>she should come and stay with me in Alaska. She'd

677
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:11.679
<v Speaker 1>been living in San Francisco with her dad since the

678
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.039
<v Speaker 1>day that she arrived in Anchorage. Aaron turned many heads,

679
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and her friends and family described her as a beautiful

680
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.119
<v Speaker 1>young woman. On June thirtieth, nineteen ninety five, while out

681
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 1>at about, Aaron met a man named David Combs at

682
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 1>a bar called Chilcoot Charlie's, and the pair immediately hit

683
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it off. The two had so much in common and

684
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:34.760
<v Speaker 1>so much chemistry that they agreed to meet the next

685
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:36.519
<v Speaker 1>day on July first.

686
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Ninety five for a proper date. July first rolled.

687
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Around and David picked up Aaron and drove them out

688
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 1>to the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska. The two

689
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>walked around the fair, and witnesses recall seeing Aaron and

690
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:53.079
<v Speaker 1>David had a beer garden. Just before six pm.

691
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:54.360
<v Speaker 2>The two left the.

692
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Beer garden and made their way over to David's car,

693
00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>but it wouldn't start. David had left the car lights

694
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.199
<v Speaker 1>on while they were at the fair, which had completely

695
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.679
<v Speaker 1>drained his battery. David turned to Aaron and told him

696
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that he would walk to his friend's house, which was nearby,

697
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.639
<v Speaker 1>and ask him to come and help him out. He

698
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:13.760
<v Speaker 1>then explained to the investigators that he walked around Girdwood

699
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and the surrounding area for two hours before realizing he

700
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:20.719
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find his friend's house. When David realized he couldn't

701
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.519
<v Speaker 1>find this house as initially planned, he made his way

702
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.800
<v Speaker 1>back to the fairground. As he walked toward his car,

703
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:30.440
<v Speaker 1>his heart sank. There was no sign of erin anywhere.

704
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>In a rash decision. He tried his car one more time,

705
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and amazingly, this time the engine turned over and it started.

706
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Knowing that something still wasn't right, he traversed around the

707
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.960
<v Speaker 1>fair intil one am, looking for his date before heading home.

708
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:51.280
<v Speaker 1>According to Eron's family, David didn't tell them she was

709
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:54.360
<v Speaker 1>missing until seven am the next morning. On July second,

710
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:59.159
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five, Stephanie told NBC News he didn't tell

711
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.760
<v Speaker 1>anyone she was missing until he called me around seven

712
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.360
<v Speaker 1>am the next morning. He said, he called to make

713
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.760
<v Speaker 1>sure Aaron made it home okay. He was very casual

714
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:11.679
<v Speaker 1>about it. As Stephanie peered into Aaron's room and saw

715
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that it was empty, her heart immediately sank into her stomach.

716
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:18.480
<v Speaker 1>She too, since that something was wrong, so she called

717
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the family and they drove to the

718
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:24.920
<v Speaker 1>fairground to conduct their own search. Aaron's family called the

719
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:27.800
<v Speaker 1>fairground and the surrounding woods and even had Aaron's name

720
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.079
<v Speaker 1>broadcasted from the stage the Kid, something you'd see when

721
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a child warners off from their parents. But Aaron never

722
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:37.719
<v Speaker 1>appeared from the woods, and soon the Alaska State Troopers

723
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:41.360
<v Speaker 1>became involved and an official missing person's case was open

724
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 1>with using search dogs and helicopters. The troopers began covering

725
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:48.119
<v Speaker 1>the surrounding area and looking for Aaron, but as if

726
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:52.360
<v Speaker 1>she had simply vanished into thin air. The state troopers

727
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.039
<v Speaker 1>have stressed Aaron's case is a missing person case and

728
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.440
<v Speaker 1>not a homicide investigation at this time. David Colmbs, the

729
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:01.639
<v Speaker 1>man that Aaron was last scene with on July first,

730
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:05.199
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five, has been cleared as a suspect and

731
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the authorities claim that he has been cooperative throughout the

732
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:12.960
<v Speaker 1>entire ordeal. Aaron Marie Gilbert was last seen on July first,

733
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:17.920
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five, at the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska.

734
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.119
<v Speaker 1>She's described as a white female with brown hair and

735
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:24.079
<v Speaker 1>brown eyes. She has a tattoo of a large blue

736
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 1>flower on her chest, and at the time of her disappearance,

737
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.599
<v Speaker 1>her hair was cut short into a bob. Aeron is

738
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:33.079
<v Speaker 1>around six feet tall and weighs about one hundred and

739
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:36.280
<v Speaker 1>forty five pounds. She was last seen wearing a black

740
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:40.280
<v Speaker 1>leather jacket, a black and white striped shirt, black.

741
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Jeans, and brown mountain boots.

742
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:45.280
<v Speaker 1>May fourth, of twenty twenty one would have been Aaron's

743
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.719
<v Speaker 1>fiftieth birthday, and her family are desperate for answers. There's

744
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.280
<v Speaker 1>currently a thirty thousand dollars reward for information, and Stephanie,

745
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.880
<v Speaker 1>her sister, runs the Facebook page called Binding.

<v Speaker 1>Number two. Stephen Kraft. February fifteenth, twenty twenty one, residents

752
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of Benton Township, Michigan and beyond huddled together in the

753
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bear to hold the vigil to mark the twentieth

754
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:33.679
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of Stephen Earl Craft two's disappearance in two thousand

755
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and one. Fred Kralzik, who lives on Holly Street, the

756
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.599
<v Speaker 1>same street that twelve year old Stephen disappeared from, told WNDU,

757
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I would hope that if someone did know something out there,

758
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that they would say something. Hopefully somehow he returns. If

759
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:54.519
<v Speaker 1>not well, and if he's not here with us anymore,

760
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.559
<v Speaker 1>then all I know is his family will see him

761
00:45:56.599 --> 00:46:00.679
<v Speaker 1>in heaven. If he's not here anymore. He knows that

762
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:05.880
<v Speaker 1>for sure. On February fifteenth, two thousand and one, twelve

763
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.400
<v Speaker 1>year old Stephen Kraft left his home on the dead

764
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 1>end street named Holly Street to play with the two

765
00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>family dogs, and witnesses recall seeing him on the twenty

766
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:18.039
<v Speaker 1>one hundred block of Holly Drive between seven pm and

767
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>eight pm that night. Stephen happily played outside and had

768
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:24.320
<v Speaker 1>promised his parents that he would be back home in

769
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>time for supper. When Stephen never came through the door.

770
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:32.199
<v Speaker 1>According to Chief Smidt of the Benton Township Police Department,

771
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Stephen's mother called police in the early morning hours of

772
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the sixteenth of February. Our protocol was tipping. We went

773
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:42.280
<v Speaker 1>out and took the report, and since it was someone

774
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:46.239
<v Speaker 1>that young of an age, we gathered information who last

775
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.360
<v Speaker 1>saw him. Sometimes kids do run away, but he hadn't

776
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.920
<v Speaker 1>run away before. In the days leading up to his disappearance,

777
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Stephen had been suspended from Hull Elementary School for five

778
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.840
<v Speaker 1>days after he defended himself during a scuffle with another student.

779
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Both the headmaster and Stephen's parents said that this behavior.

780
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Was very out of character for.

781
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.280
<v Speaker 1>It, and that he was usually a quiet, well behaved

782
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.679
<v Speaker 1>student who kept his head down. After Stephen had been

783
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:17.000
<v Speaker 1>reported missing, a wide scale search began for him, and

784
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:20.519
<v Speaker 1>this search was spurred by a sense of urgency not

785
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.239
<v Speaker 1>just because of his age, but because the temperature had

786
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:26.679
<v Speaker 1>dropped well below freezing and Stephen wasn't wearing a hat

787
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>or gloves. Police, Stephen's family, and the local community combed

788
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the area looking for any sign of the twelve year

789
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:36.840
<v Speaker 1>old and caught a break when they discovered Stephen's icy

790
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:40.280
<v Speaker 1>footsteps walking over a frozen pond near his home on

791
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Holly Street. According to the Charlie Project, these footsteps led

792
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.599
<v Speaker 1>in the direction of Harbor Haven Ministries on Irving Street,

793
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.639
<v Speaker 1>which is approximately one block away from Holly Street or

794
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:55.800
<v Speaker 1>stephen limb. After this, it appears that the trail goes cold,

795
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and investigators commented that the weather, combined with his young age,

796
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.719
<v Speaker 1>made it difficult for them. On February eighteenth, two thousand

797
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and one, the familiar pitter patter of feet was heard

798
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:11.480
<v Speaker 1>at the Craft residence. Outside stood the older dog, a

799
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:14.719
<v Speaker 1>German Shepherd child mix, but there was no sign of

800
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Stephen or the other dog. The dog hastily led Stephen's

801
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:22.800
<v Speaker 1>parents and investigators to a pond, but according to official reports,

802
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.199
<v Speaker 1>nothing was found. The day after that, on February nineteenth,

803
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.679
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one, the family's other dog, six month

804
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>old German Shepherd puppy, was found a mile and a

805
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>half away from Holly Street.

806
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.079
<v Speaker 2>How had a six month old puppy managed to.

807
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Survive the freezing temperatures and travel over a mile and

808
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a half away. Did this possibly be an indication that

809
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.920
<v Speaker 1>someone took Stephen and the dogs only to let them

810
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:50.360
<v Speaker 1>loose because they were making too much noise, or to

811
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:55.639
<v Speaker 1>throw off the investigation. Throughout the years, multiple searches have

812
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:59.199
<v Speaker 1>been performed for Stephen. In two thousand and one, authority

813
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.159
<v Speaker 1>searched Blue Creek and the pond near Harbor Haven, ministers

814
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:06.760
<v Speaker 1>have found nothing. In two thousand and two, the search

815
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:09.599
<v Speaker 1>was conducted in a wooded area near the Southwestern Michigan

816
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Regional Airport, but again no trace of Stephen could be found.

817
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:17.480
<v Speaker 1>There was a reported sighting of Stephen in two thousand

818
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and four, where a wind was called. The FBI believed

819
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.519
<v Speaker 1>that a young man matching Steven's description was at the

820
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Midway Airport in Chicago. This sighting, unfortunately turned out to

821
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.679
<v Speaker 1>be a case of mistaken identity, and since then the

822
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:34.159
<v Speaker 1>cases remained cold with such little evidence all we are

823
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:38.039
<v Speaker 1>left with their theories. The Benton Township Police Department has

824
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.679
<v Speaker 1>said that they investigated the idea that Stephen ran away

825
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:41.639
<v Speaker 1>from home, as well.

826
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.119
<v Speaker 2>As the idea that he was abducted.

827
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It does seem very unlikely, though, that Stephen ran away,

828
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.039
<v Speaker 1>especially on a cold February evening when he promised his

829
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 1>parents he would be home in time for supper. The

830
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:56.639
<v Speaker 1>FBI stated in their report that Stephen was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

831
00:49:56.880 --> 00:50:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and has ties there, as well as Lectionington, Kentucky. It's

832
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:03.559
<v Speaker 1>also possible that Stephen died due to exposure or an

833
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:07.000
<v Speaker 1>accident on that evening, but without a body or evidence,

834
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.760
<v Speaker 1>all we can do is speculate. Stephen's family have never

835
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:14.079
<v Speaker 1>given up hope and are asking for the public's assistance.

836
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:14.320
<v Speaker 2>In his case.

837
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Stephen earl Craft the second, also listed sometimes as Steven

838
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:23.280
<v Speaker 1>earl Craft Junior, was last seen on February fifteenth, two

839
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:25.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one, in the twenty one hundred block of

840
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Holly Drive in Ben Harbor, Michigan. Stephen is described as

841
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.920
<v Speaker 1>white male with light brown hair and green eyes. Is

842
00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:36.159
<v Speaker 1>a small red birthmark on his left rib. At the

843
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.519
<v Speaker 1>time he went missing, he was around five foot one

844
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to five foot two inches.

845
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Tall and around one hundred pounds.

846
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Stephen was last seen wearing a white, tan and brown

847
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 1>striped shirt, tan parachute fans, an Aukland, purple Charlotte hornet's jacket,

848
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and black lugs boots. If still live today, Stephen would

849
00:50:56.199 --> 00:51:00.440
<v Speaker 1>be thirty two years old. Anyone with any information has

850
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.760
<v Speaker 1>urged to contact the Benton Township Police Department at two

851
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:07.639
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine nine two six A two two one and

852
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:12.159
<v Speaker 1>listen for the extension for Steven's tip line. Alternatively, you

853
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.800
<v Speaker 1>can contact the FBI's Saint Joseph, Michigan office on three

854
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:23.719
<v Speaker 1>one three nine sixty five two three two three number one.

855
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Shanna Boitou, we will always love you no matter what.

856
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:33.440
<v Speaker 1>We will support you and help you. Just come home

857
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and we'll face everything together. We want you back home

858
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:39.880
<v Speaker 1>with us and to be a mother to your beautiful daughter.

859
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:44.119
<v Speaker 1>At the very least, call and let us know you're okay.

860
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>So it reads a message from the father of missing

861
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty two year old Shannon Boyite. Her family describe her

862
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:55.360
<v Speaker 1>as a devoted mother and loving daughter and are desperate

863
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:57.280
<v Speaker 1>for answers as to what happened.

864
00:51:57.119 --> 00:51:59.119
<v Speaker 2>On that June day. In twenty sixteen.

865
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.239
<v Speaker 1>On that day, Shannon left her home in shipp of

866
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Wall Falls, Wisconsin, and left a note for her parents

867
00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:08.880
<v Speaker 1>telling them that she was going to be sent back

868
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to prison and needed to sort out a few things beforehand.

869
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.280
<v Speaker 1>The note also stated that she and her boyfriend were

870
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.840
<v Speaker 1>on their way to California so she could see the ocean.

871
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:20.920
<v Speaker 1>As far as we know, Shanna hopped into the car

872
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.880
<v Speaker 1>with her boyfriend and they began their trip from Wisconsin

873
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:28.079
<v Speaker 1>to California. Google Maps shows the two most common routes

874
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:31.639
<v Speaker 1>to California. The first route and the route that Shanna

875
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and her boyfriend are assumed to have taken, drive through Minneapolis, Minnesota,

876
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:39.559
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada.

877
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And then into California.

878
00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:48.400
<v Speaker 1>The second most likely route goes through southern Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,

879
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and then into California. This route will become important later on.

880
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:57.280
<v Speaker 1>According to Shanna's family, her childhood had been normal and

881
00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the trouble didn't start until she transitioned into her teenage years,

882
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:05.239
<v Speaker 1>when she began taking drugs and exhibiting signs of behavioral problems,

883
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:09.599
<v Speaker 1>and that's when things started to go downhill. That was

884
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:12.800
<v Speaker 1>until twenty fourteen, when she found out she was pregnant.

885
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>This shock announcement spurred her on and she got on

886
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:21.119
<v Speaker 1>a path to sobriety and eventually got clean. Sadly, this

887
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:24.239
<v Speaker 1>sobriety only lasted for a little while, and shortly after

888
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:27.480
<v Speaker 1>she began using drugs again and was sent to prison

889
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:32.000
<v Speaker 1>on drug charges. Shanna was released on probation in ordered

890
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to serve house arrest following the birth of her daughter,

891
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.000
<v Speaker 1>which she completed without incident.

892
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:37.639
<v Speaker 2>According to her father.

893
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Naturally, after being under house arrest, Shannon was put on

894
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:44.519
<v Speaker 1>parole and assigned to parole offs.

895
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:47.639
<v Speaker 2>According to the Charlie Project.

896
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Shenna had been caught drinking in June twenty sixteen and

897
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:55.480
<v Speaker 1>had an outstanding warn against her for parole violations. Shanna

898
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.159
<v Speaker 1>knew that the pro violation meant that she would likely

899
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:01.280
<v Speaker 1>be back behind bars, leading her to leave the note

900
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for her parents and take care of business before she

901
00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:07.920
<v Speaker 1>found herself back in an orange jumpsuit. The details in

902
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Shanna's case became somewhat confusing from here on out. According

903
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to some reports, Shanna was last seen near Interstate ninety

904
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:19.800
<v Speaker 1>four and County Road seventy four in Saint Cloud, Minnesota

905
00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:24.599
<v Speaker 1>on June twenty second, twenty sixteen. Now, as for Google Maps,

906
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:27.920
<v Speaker 1>two routes to California drive through or close to Minneapolis

907
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and then down either in the South.

908
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Dakota or Ohio.

909
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:34.800
<v Speaker 1>What is really odd about this, though, is that Saint Cloud,

910
00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota is sixty five miles north of Minneapolis and it

911
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is completely off route. There may be another route to

912
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:44.639
<v Speaker 1>California that would take you through or near this area,

913
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but no one knows why they might have taken this route.

914
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.280
<v Speaker 1>This is just a minor point found while researching that

915
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to bring up. Witnesses recorded seeing Shanna and

916
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:58.400
<v Speaker 1>her boyfriend arguing with the car around at three pm,

917
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:00.599
<v Speaker 1>and in the heat of the argument, Janna got out

918
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.719
<v Speaker 1>of the car and stormed off into the woods around

919
00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:06.639
<v Speaker 1>the highway. It is unclear what Shanna and her boyfriend

920
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:10.599
<v Speaker 1>were arguing about, but her family did tell investigators that

921
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:13.360
<v Speaker 1>she was known to hitchhike. It is possible that she

922
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:17.119
<v Speaker 1>jumped into someone else's car to try and get to California.

923
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Another bizarre fact in Shanna's case is the fact that

924
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.039
<v Speaker 1>she apparently left home without her bag and didn't own

925
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:24.639
<v Speaker 1>a cellphone.

926
00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:25.280
<v Speaker 2>At the time.

927
00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:28.760
<v Speaker 1>It's unclear on how the couple were planning on funding

928
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that trip to California and whether Shanna's boyfriend was going

929
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to pick up the tab. Shanna has no connections to

930
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Saint Cloud, Minnesota, and her family are now asking for

931
00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the public's help. Shanna Boito was last seen in Saint Cloud,

932
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota on June twenty second, twenty sixteen, as we mentioned,

933
00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:52.119
<v Speaker 1>near Interstate ninety four in County Road seventy four. She's

934
00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:54.400
<v Speaker 1>described as a white female with brown hair and brown

935
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:57.079
<v Speaker 1>eyes and has a tattoo of two sparrows on her

936
00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.039
<v Speaker 1>hips and a tattoo of the name Millie with NOI.

937
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Behind her right ear.

938
00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Jan also has a lip and belly button piercing and

939
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:10.559
<v Speaker 1>has stretched your lobes. Her Charlie Project profile reads Boito

940
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:13.920
<v Speaker 1>has a history of drug abuse. Caution is advised when

941
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:17.760
<v Speaker 1>approaching her. She was last seen wearing a tam Victoria's

942
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Secret tank top with a word pink call it black

943
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:25.119
<v Speaker 1>leggings and no shoes. We'll play is not suspected at

944
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.559
<v Speaker 1>this time in her case, and if you have any

945
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:31.199
<v Speaker 1>information regarding her whereabouts, you're asked to police. Contact the

946
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Chip of Wall Falls Police Department at seven point five

947
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:41.760
<v Speaker 1>seven two three four four two four. Well, friends, there

948
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you have it. What do you make of these five

949
00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>strange and creepy disappearances? Somewhere somebody knows something. People don't

950
00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:57.519
<v Speaker 1>just vanish in thin air. Thank you for listening, and

951
00:56:57.599 --> 00:57:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we look forward to reading your comments. Please keep it

952
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>friendly and respectful. In the meantime, be good to yourselves

953
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:09.599
<v Speaker 1>and each other, and I'll see you just a little

954
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:14.159
<v Speaker 1>farther on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll

955
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:27.239
<v Speaker 1>talk to you next time. Hello, friends, today bringing you

956
00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:32.480
<v Speaker 1>part three of our unbelievably Bizarre and Creepy Disappearances series.

957
00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:37.079
<v Speaker 1>These are some of the strangest disappearances we've come across

958
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in all our research, and let's begin Number five. Chance Ingelbert,

959
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:46.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty five year old Chance Engelbert was last seen leaving

960
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the seven hundred block of O Street in Gary, Nebraska,

961
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:56.199
<v Speaker 1>at around seven thirty pm on Saturday, July sixth, twenty nineteen. Chance,

962
00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:59.800
<v Speaker 1>his wife Bailey, and their son Banks, who lived in Wyoming,

963
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:04.239
<v Speaker 1>had spent the sunny Saturday visiting Bailey's family, with articles reporting.

964
00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:05.159
<v Speaker 2>That they spent the day golfing.

965
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Chance had recently accepted a new job with a propane

966
00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:11.239
<v Speaker 1>company after he had recently been laid off from his

967
00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:15.519
<v Speaker 1>previous job at a coal mine. Bailey's family didn't seem

968
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to like this job move. Chance, his father in law,

969
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and other members of Bailey's family all began arguing.

970
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Bailey drove over to pick Chance up.

971
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Before heading to her grandparents' house to collect a few things.

972
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.599
<v Speaker 1>During the car ride, Chance became upset again and asked

973
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Bailey to drive him home, to which she said no.

974
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Chance then called up one of his friends for a

975
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ride home. Sadly for Chance, the friend wasn't able to help,

976
00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:44.920
<v Speaker 1>so Chance left the seven hundred block of O Street

977
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and began to walk towards Torrington, Wyoming. According to Google Maps,

978
00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:53.239
<v Speaker 1>the Chance was planning to walk the whole way. It

979
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:55.639
<v Speaker 1>would have taken him close to twelve hours on foot.

980
00:58:56.599 --> 00:58:58.199
<v Speaker 1>There were two routes he could have taken if he

981
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.559
<v Speaker 1>was in a car, both ending up on the US

982
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:05.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty six w and taking around forty three minutes. Bailey

983
00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:07.920
<v Speaker 1>told investigators that she last spoke to Chance on the

984
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.000
<v Speaker 1>phone at seven forty six pm, and he told her

985
00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that he was walking south, Whereas friends told investigators that

986
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they had spoken to Chance around the same time, and

987
00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he told him he was headed north towards Torrington, Wyoming.

988
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:23.920
<v Speaker 2>At nine oh eight pm.

989
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Chance's phone sent a final text that was just a

990
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:30.239
<v Speaker 1>string of emojis and numbers. Chance's mother, Dawn, said that

991
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Chance never used emojis and speculates that the text was

992
00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:37.480
<v Speaker 1>sent by someone else. At nine pm that evening, a

993
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.280
<v Speaker 1>large thunderstorm rolled through the area, and Bailey and her

994
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:43.559
<v Speaker 1>family assumed that Chance had found shelter somewhere and would

995
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:47.679
<v Speaker 1>be in contact with him soon. Bailey's grandfather went out

996
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:50.000
<v Speaker 1>looking for Chance, but found no sign of the man.

997
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Bailey told an NBC News I still wasn't that worried.

998
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:58.199
<v Speaker 1>I figured he comes slinking in late that night, but

999
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he didn't. And when I I woke up the next

1000
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:04.079
<v Speaker 1>morning and he wasn't there, I knew it was bad.

1001
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Chance friends and family tried desperately to contact him, but

1002
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>his phone had been turned off shortly after nine oh

1003
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:14.239
<v Speaker 1>eight pm when he had sent the cryptic text message.

1004
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Realizing that something was wrong, Chance's family called the police

1005
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:22.719
<v Speaker 1>and officially reported him missing. Investigators discovered that Chance's phone

1006
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>had last penged off a tower on County Road nineteen

1007
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>near Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. They also found the CCTV footage

1008
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>showing Chance walking alone along the intersection of Terry Boulevard

1009
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and Stable Club Road. After this sighting, he mysteriously vanished.

1010
01:00:41.079 --> 01:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Once Chance had been reported missing, the Gearing Police Department

1011
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>sprung into action and called in the help of eighteen agencies,

1012
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:51.519
<v Speaker 1>including drones, divers, dogs, horseback riders, and one hundred and

1013
01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>forty seven volunteers, who managed to cover twenty four hundred

1014
01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>acres on foot. The Nebraska State Patrol helicopter team and

1015
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Airlink managed to cover combined to three hundred and eighty

1016
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:05.639
<v Speaker 1>miles during the search effort, but no sign of Chance

1017
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>could be found. Authorities were concerned for his well being,

1018
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>as the rains on the evening the Chance disappeared were

1019
01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>described as heavy and cold. In addition to the dangers

1020
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>of lightning, it was also postulated that Chance may have

1021
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>fallen into river or stream or suffered from hypothermia due

1022
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:27.519
<v Speaker 1>to the weather conditions. Since that July day, Chance Ingelbert

1023
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>has never been seen or heard from again, and his

1024
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>family are desperate for answers. His mother made a plead

1025
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>a Chance, saying Please call somebody. You don't have to

1026
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>come home. We just want to know that you're safe.

1027
01:01:40.639 --> 01:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Our heart aches every day, every night. In the wake

1028
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of chance disappearance, his mother Dawn created the help Find

1029
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Chase Engelbert Facebook page that she uses to keep his

1030
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>case alive as well as the post updates. In early

1031
01:01:56.320 --> 01:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>November twenty twenty one, and armbone and sure were found

1032
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:03.599
<v Speaker 1>near Malbetta, Nebraska, which is eight and a half miles

1033
01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>south of where Chance was last seen. Has not yet

1034
01:02:07.559 --> 01:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>been confirmed whether these belong to Chance, and DNA testing

1035
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>is currently under way. In a Facebook post on November two,

1036
01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, chance mother down wrote, We'd like to

1037
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>take a moment to thank you all for prayers, calls,

1038
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and messages. We're aware of the news releases of remains

1039
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:28.519
<v Speaker 1>found in Scott's Bluff County and have talked with officials.

1040
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Until the DNA is released, there is not one hundred

1041
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>percent answer depends on the lab's workload and it could

1042
01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>take weeks for those answers, So for now, please govern

1043
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>our family a little extra prayers.

1044
01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

1045
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Time will tell whether these remains belong to Chase or

1046
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>where the family will have to keep on fighting for answers.

1047
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five year old Chase Engelberg was last seen on

1048
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:56.760

<v Speaker 1>in Trenton, Nebraska, on April twentieth, twenty nineteen, and told

1063
01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>her mother, follow Johnson, that she was going on a

1064
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>road trip with a male acquaintance. This person was not

1065
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.519
<v Speaker 1>named in publications. However, a member of Sonny's family named

1066
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>him as forty two year old Floyd Clifford Coats, who

1067
01:03:57.440 --> 01:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>goes by cliff The Nature of their relationship is currently unknown.

1068
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Sonny is married, However, the identity of Sonny's husband has

1069
01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:09.079
<v Speaker 1>been withheld from the public and her parents have not

1070
01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:13.559
<v Speaker 1>discussed this detail at length. One article notes her parents

1071
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>say she married young, believing it was a good choice,

1072
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>but went through more growing and trying to do things right,

1073
01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>so it was currently living with her mother Paula to

1074
01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>sort things out. Paula watched her daughter get into the

1075
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four white Ford Explorer with Iowa license

1076
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>plate HGJ three four one, and then watching her daughter

1077
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>and the unknown man drove away. Little did Paula know

1078
01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:39.079
<v Speaker 1>that this will be the last time she would ever

1079
01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.119
<v Speaker 1>see her daughter, who she described as bright and artistic.

1080
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>At around one pm on April twentieth, twenty nineteen, Sonny

1081
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>called her mom, Paula, to let her know that everything

1082
01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was going well and that they were possibly headed for Omaha, Nebraska.

1083
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The pair talked and Sonny told Paula that she was

1084
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in Holdridge, Nebraska and that everything was good. The KSMB

1085
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>local article states that Sonny had called using a borrored

1086
01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>phone because she left hers at home before embarking on

1087
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the trip.

1088
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:09.239
<v Speaker 2>On the evening of.

1089
01:05:09.199 --> 01:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>April twentieth, twenty nineteen, Paula received a horrific phone call.

1090
01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:15.760
<v Speaker 2>On the other end of the line.

1091
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Was Cliff Coates, who said that he had gone into

1092
01:05:17.840 --> 01:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the Prairie Flower Casino in Carter Lake, Iowa, and that

1093
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:25.679
<v Speaker 1>when he stepped outside, Sonny was gone. NBC reported that

1094
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.599
<v Speaker 1>Paula had written on the GoFundMe page that he said

1095
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>he had looked for couldn't find her, so he left.

1096
01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He left the area without Sonny. No call to the police,

1097
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>no nothing. At one point his story changed. They stopped

1098
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>at a gas station in Omaha and he went in

1099
01:05:43.320 --> 01:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to pay for the gas. When he returned to the vehicle,

1100
01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Sonny was gone. On April twenty first, twenty nineteen, when

1101
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Sonny had still failed to make contact with her parents,

1102
01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Paula and Jodie, she was officially reported missing and an

1103
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>investigation was open. An extensive search Nebraska and Iowa took place,

1104
01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>but there was no sign of Sonny. Because she was eighteen,

1105
01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>she was too old for an Amber alert, but the

1106
01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>authorities still did the best they could to publicize Sonny's case.

1107
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Ours turned to days, and Sunny's family became more and

1108
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:19.159
<v Speaker 1>more desperate as each hour passed soon after she was

1109
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:22.639
<v Speaker 1>reported missing. The FBI became involved in Sonny's case and

1110
01:06:22.719 --> 01:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>are now asking for anyone with information to please come forward.

1111
01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Sonny's family are also heavily involved in the search for

1112
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>their missing loved one. Her cousin Rinny Blom created the

1113
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Fine Sunny Shramic Facebook page and regularly hands out flyers

1114
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and leaflets across Nebraska. Interestingly enough, Cliff Coates has an

1115
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>extensive criminal history, and this is something that we couldn't

1116
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>pass up on mentioning Heavy dot Com wrote an article

1117
01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>about Sonny's case and managed to dig up all of

1118
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Cliff's prior convictions. Turns out that he has a criminal

1119
01:06:56.039 --> 01:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>record in Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. In Kansas, he was

1120
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>charged for drug offenses and attempting to evade police. His

1121
01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>prison record isn't squeaky clean either, having twenty five ride

1122
01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:12.599
<v Speaker 1>ups for battery, lying, disrespect of an officer, disobeying orders,

1123
01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and having sexually explicit material lips. Criminal history doesn't stop there.

1124
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>In Nebraska, he was convicted of false imprisonment, distribution of methamphetamine,

1125
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:27.159
<v Speaker 1>possession of a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, assault

1126
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:31.239
<v Speaker 1>by a confined person theft by receiving stolen property, and

1127
01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:37.239
<v Speaker 1>possession of marijuana. On June tenth, twenty nineteen, Remy Blum

1128
01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:41.639
<v Speaker 1>posted again to the Facebook page find Sunny Schremik, saying

1129
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I have a little info to share for my aunt.

1130
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's the update. Coach was arrested recently but was bonded

1131
01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>soon after. I'm hoping that they can learn something anything

1132
01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>from him. At least he was found. I'm sharing this

1133
01:07:56.679 --> 01:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>so y'all are aware, but as far as what happened

1134
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>prior to this or what he was arrested for, that is.

1135
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Not being shared by the family.

1136
01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Investigators haven't publicly named Cliff as a suspect in Sonny's case,

1137
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:13.159
<v Speaker 1>and despite all these leads and all this information, her

1138
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>case has sadly gone cold. Sonny's family are desperately seeking

1139
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:20.359
<v Speaker 1>answers for what happened to her. She was in the

1140
01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:23.479
<v Speaker 1>process of finishing high school and it's extremely out of

1141
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>character for her to just have wandered off. Sonny's described

1142

1156
01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:12.399

1158

1165
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Weaver Junior, twenty one year old Matthew Weaver Junior

1166
01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:48.159
<v Speaker 1>was in a transitional period in his life. He had

1167
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>just moved into his own apartment in Granada Hills, California,

1168
01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>to be closer to his job, and he had recently

1169
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>broken up with his long term girlfriend. The breakup affected Matthew,

1170
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:00.279
<v Speaker 1>but as he had moved to a new area, he

1171
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>slowly began building up a new circle of friends and

1172
01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>was back out there partying and hanging out. On August ninth,

1173
01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, Matthew spent the day working before going to

1174
01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>hang out with a new female friend that he had made.

1175
01:10:14.159 --> 01:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>According to his father, Matthew Weaver Senior, Matthew Junior appeared

1176
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:20.439
<v Speaker 1>excited at the prospect of hanging out with his new

1177
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:23.239
<v Speaker 1>friend and said that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

1178
01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>According to NBC, the.

1179
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Pair hung out until the early morning hours of August tenth,

1180
01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:31.119
<v Speaker 1>with Matthew Junior dropping the woman off at her place

1181
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>around four thirty am. From there, Matthew Junior sent a

1182
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>text to his friend saying something crazy has happened, also

1183
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:42.399
<v Speaker 1>adding I want to talk while I have the chance.

1184
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Jr. Also Sent text to his ex stepmother Brook.

1185
01:10:49.199 --> 01:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>The two remained close friends even when Matthew Junior's father

1186
01:10:52.000 --> 01:10:54.119
<v Speaker 1>and she divorced, as she had raised him from a

1187
01:10:54.159 --> 01:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>young age. Brook claims that some of the extra jumbled

1188
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:04.039
<v Speaker 1>and didn't make much sense at all. At around eleven

1189
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:07.119
<v Speaker 1>thirty am, Matthew Jr. Then Caused the woman he was

1190
01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with the night before, but she doesn't answer

1191
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>because she's at work. She texted him, asking what's wrong

1192
01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:16.039
<v Speaker 1>and telling him that she is unable to answer right now.

1193
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Matthew never replied to the text from Brook or the

1194
01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>unknown woman, and since then he has mysteriously fallen off

1195
01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:27.199
<v Speaker 1>the map. Brooke told NBC that Matthew's phone is still

1196
01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:30.039
<v Speaker 1>linked to his ex girlfriend's account, so they were able

1197
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:34.239
<v Speaker 1>to retrieve phone records relatively quickly. These records showed that

1198
01:11:34.279 --> 01:11:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Junior's location at the time of sending those texts

1199
01:11:37.479 --> 01:11:40.199
<v Speaker 1>was the Lost Roses Overlook near Stunt and Saddle Peak

1200
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Roads in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. This

1201
01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:49.399
<v Speaker 1>was later confirmed when CCTV cameras in the area captured

1202
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Junior's BMW driving along the road to Los Roses Overlook.

1203
01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:57.520
<v Speaker 1>When Brooke hadn't received reply from her step son, she

1204
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>began to worry. She began calling all his friends to

1205
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.239
<v Speaker 1>see if they had heard from him, but to her horror,

1206
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:08.039
<v Speaker 1>no one had. Unbeknownst to Brook and Matthew Senior, the

1207
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>California Highway Patrol discovered Matthew Junior's car abandoned on the

1208
01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Topanga Tower Motorway close to the Los Ross Overlook. They

1209
01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>traced the car's registration and found that it belonged to

1210
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Weaver Junior. After speaking with his family, they realized

1211
01:12:24.279 --> 01:12:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that he had not made contact with him since August eleventh. Subsequently,

1212
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a missing person report was filed and Matthew Weaver Junior

1213
01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>was officially listed as a missing person. Multiple searches have

1214
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:41.119
<v Speaker 1>been conducted by multiple agencies, but no trace of Matthew

1215
01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:46.159
<v Speaker 1>has ever been found. Brooke told NBC, there is no

1216
01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>way that kid just fell off the grid and disappeared.

1217
01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>For me, that's not possible. I'm super close with Matthew.

1218
01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:57.079
<v Speaker 1>He tells me everything, He calls me any time he's

1219
01:12:57.079 --> 01:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in a bind. He would never let his little sin

1220
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sit there.

1221
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:02.279
<v Speaker 2>And think he might be dead.

1222
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Then, in January twenty nineteen, Hiker's discovered Matthew Junior's car

1223
01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>keys just twenty five meters from where his car had

1224
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:14.479
<v Speaker 1>been discovered. It's unknown where these keys were overlooked during

1225
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:17.359
<v Speaker 1>the initial search, or whether they had been intentionally placed

1226
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>there at a later date. While out conducting his own

1227
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>search for his son, Matthew Senior discovered shreds of a

1228
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:27.199
<v Speaker 1>white T shirt that he believes his son was wearing

1229
01:13:27.199 --> 01:13:31.239
<v Speaker 1>on the day he disappeared. A red Los Angeles Angels

1230
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>hat was also found, which Matthew Senior also said belonged

1231
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:40.359
<v Speaker 1>to his son. The Los Angeles Police Department's Missing Persons

1232
01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Unit has since taken over Matthew's case. Matthew Weaver Jr.

1233
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Is described as a white meal with brown hair and

1234
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>brown eyes. He's five foot nine inches tall and weighs

1235
01:13:49.960 --> 01:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty five pounds. Matthew Junior has a

1236
01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>tattoo of the name Jeremiah on the left side of

1237
01:13:56.640 --> 01:14:00.479
<v Speaker 1>his chest. Some of Matthew Junior's friends say that he

1238
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:03.279
<v Speaker 1>sustained a head injury in the days before his disappearance,

1239
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and then he may be concussed or have other behavior

1240
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:11.159
<v Speaker 1>issues arriving from this. Matthew Junior was last seen wearing

1241
01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a plain black or white T shirt, black Dicky's pants,

1242
01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:20.319
<v Speaker 1>red shoes, and a Los Angeles Angels baseball cap. If

<v Speaker 1>you have any information, your urge to Please contact the

1246
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>wish to remain anonymous, you can leave a tip with

1247
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:38.079
<v Speaker 1>the LA Regional Crime Stoppers on one eight hundred two

1248
01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>two two Tips Number two. Erica Thompson fifty three year

1249
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:49.199
<v Speaker 1>old Erica Thompson had recently broken up from a two

1250
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:52.399
<v Speaker 1>year relationship was now living alone with her cats in

1251
01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a Brookefield, Illinois home. Erica's sister, Dana, said that the

1252
01:14:57.399 --> 01:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>pair regularly kept in contact with each other, and then

1253
01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Erica always kept in contact with her family, So when

1254
01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Erica failed to show up for work on September twenty

1255
01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>sixth to twenty nineteen, her co workers noted that it

1256
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was extremely out of character. Dana recalled that she had

1257
01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:17.319
<v Speaker 1>last spoken with her sister via email on September twenty third,

1258
01:15:17.439 --> 01:15:23.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. Erica was captured on CCTV on September twenty fifth,

1259
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:27.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, making a deposit at a bank. She has

1260
01:15:27.239 --> 01:15:31.279
<v Speaker 1>not been seen or heard from since. Days passed, and

1261
01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Erica's family became more and more concerned when she didn't

1262
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:39.199
<v Speaker 1>contact him. Finally, on October one, twenty nineteen, Erica's son,

1263
01:15:39.439 --> 01:15:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Michael Russo, went to her Brookfield, Illinois home to see

1264
01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:48.239
<v Speaker 1>what was going on. Some reports state that Michael entered

1265
01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the house, while others state that the Brookfield Police Department

1266
01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>were the ones who actually entered the home. Whoever entered

1267
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the home found that the back door was open and

1268
01:15:56.520 --> 01:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that the air conditioning was running full blast. There were dirty,

1269
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>moldy dishes in the sink and cat vomit all over

1270
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the house, something that Erica would never have tolerated. Her sister,

1271
01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Dana told Dateline it was caused for concern because my

1272
01:16:12.920 --> 01:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>sister would never have left a mess. She would have

1273
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:19.479
<v Speaker 1>washed her dishes and taken care of her cats. Investigators

1274
01:16:19.520 --> 01:16:24.159
<v Speaker 1>also found, interestingly enough, that recent CCTV footage from Erica's

1275
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>home security cameras had been deleted, only adding to their suspicions.

1276
01:16:29.199 --> 01:16:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Erica's phone bag, driver's license, house keys, and car keys,

1277
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>along with her twenty fourteen dark purple Nissan Juke Illinois

1278
01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:42.319
<v Speaker 1>plates E two seven three three eight zero were missing

1279
01:16:42.399 --> 01:16:45.199
<v Speaker 1>from the home, but her cats had been left behind.

1280
01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:49.039
<v Speaker 1>It's been said that Erica absolutely cherished her cats, and

1281
01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if she'd planned.

1282
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:51.680
<v Speaker 2>On leaving, she would have taken them with her.

1283
01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Because Erica's phone was missing, investigators tracted as far as

1284
01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they could and found that she had traveled through Brookfield, Decatur,

1285
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and Mount Vermont on September twenty sixth, twenty nineteen. In

1286
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:07.079
<v Speaker 1>addition to this, the phone had also pained in Countryside, Hodgkins, McCook,

1287
01:17:07.319 --> 01:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>forest View, Summit, and Ridgeview. On October second, twenty nineteen,

1288
01:17:12.159 --> 01:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>her phone was found dumped in a ditch in Springfield, Missouri,

1289
01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>some five hundred and two miles away from her home

1290
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>in Brookfield, Illinois. Her sister Dana wrote a Facebook post

1291
01:17:22.239 --> 01:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>on November eighth, twenty nineteen. It's a long post, so

1292

1308
01:18:22.720 --> 01:18:26.840

1320
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Glenda Peterson. The details of Glenda Peterson's nineteen ninety seven.

1321
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Disappearance are few and far between, and with the passage

1322
01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:18.199
<v Speaker 1>of time, those details become harder and harder to come by.

1323
01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>On July fourth, nineteen ninety seven, forty year old Glenda

1324
01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Jean Peterson spent today celebrating at Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,

1325
01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:32.199
<v Speaker 1>with her sixteen year old daughter. Glinda had just been

1326
01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>through a rough divorce from her husband of fifteen years,

1327
01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and she was doing everything she could to make the

1328
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:39.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July a fun family day for her daughter.

1329
01:19:41.520 --> 01:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>At the time, Glinda had her right leg and a

1330
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:46.199
<v Speaker 1>cast due to a break, but didn't let her injure

1331
01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dap and her spirits. Glinda and her daughter spent the

1332
01:19:49.319 --> 01:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>day together before accepting a ride home from a man

1333
01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that they had met that day. Witnesses corroborated this story,

1334
01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>saying that they saw the pair get into the man's

1335
01:19:57.840 --> 01:19:59.399
<v Speaker 1>dark colored pickup truck.

1336
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:01.239
<v Speaker 2>And drive away.

1337
01:20:01.520 --> 01:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Witness has described the man as being white in his forties,

1338
01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:07.199
<v Speaker 1>six feet tall, one hundred and eighty pounds, with brown

1339
01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:12.079
<v Speaker 1>hair and a mustache. Then, somewhere along Highway nine, the

1340
01:20:12.119 --> 01:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>unknown man pulled over at Glenda's request. Linda handed her

1341
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>back to her daughter not out of the car and

1342
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>was never seen or heard from again. This is about

1343
01:20:19.800 --> 01:20:22.319
<v Speaker 1>as much information as we have in Glinda's case. Glenda's

1344
01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>niece Brandy told Daylight did she know she was in danger,

1345
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:28.079
<v Speaker 1>so she just wanted to keep her daughter safe. There

1346
01:20:28.079 --> 01:20:30.159
<v Speaker 1>are so many holes in the story. We just don't know.

1347
01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Glinda's mysterious disappearance of one of those cases where we

1348
01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>are simply left with more questions than answers. Multiple searches

1349
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>have been conducted by the Norman Police Department, and cadaver

1350
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:43.239
<v Speaker 1>dogs are even called in, but nothing has ever been found.

1351
01:20:44.039 --> 01:20:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Each year, Glenda's.

1352
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Children watch other families celebrating July fourth, hoping and praying

1353
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:50.079
<v Speaker 1>that one day their mother will come home so they

1354
01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:53.439
<v Speaker 1>can do the same once again. Linda Jean Peterson was

1355
01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:56.279
<v Speaker 1>last seen on the side of Highway nine on July fourth,

1356
01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety seven. She has described as a white female

1357
01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:02.920
<v Speaker 1>with hair and brown eyes, although the photographs provided over

1358
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:04.079
<v Speaker 1>shore her with blonde hair.

1359
01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Linda has a tattoo of the letter G on.

1360
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Her left forearm, the letter B on her left hand,

1361
01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>an artificial jaw, and a scar on her neck. At

1362
01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>the time of her disappearance, Glinda's right leg was broken

1363
01:21:15.439 --> 01:21:18.279
<v Speaker 1>and was in a cast. The Charlie Project notes that

1364
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Glinda goes with the nicknames Blondie and Sunshine and may

1365
01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:26.399
<v Speaker 1>use the surnames Adams, Kurnets, Darley, and Deal. Anyone with

1366
01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:29.239
<v Speaker 1>any information is urged to contact the Norman Police Department

1367
01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:36.159

<v Speaker 1>This offering is number four in our Creepy Cases series. Now,

1381
01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:34.640
<v Speaker 1>while many of the cases we cover on the channel

1382
01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:37.319
<v Speaker 1>have at least some strange or weird illness to them.

1383
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>These are some hand picked cases that we feel to

1384
01:22:40.680 --> 01:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>be amongst the creepiest. Join us First up, Marina Bolter.

1385
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Eighteen year old Marina Bolter was doing everything within her

1386
01:22:52.600 --> 01:22:55.199
<v Speaker 1>power to get her life back on track in twenty fourteen.

1387
01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:59.000
<v Speaker 1>She had recently graduated high school by obtaining her ged

1388
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and had plenty to go to college to study to

1389
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:06.159
<v Speaker 1>become a fastry chef. Things hadn't always been easy for Marina, though,

1390
01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:09.359
<v Speaker 1>and in early twenty fourteen, when she was just seventeen

1391
01:23:09.439 --> 01:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>years old, she found out that she was pregnant with

1392
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>her first child. At the time, Marina was in an

1393
01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:18.479
<v Speaker 1>on off relationship with DJ Lockhart, and the two did

1394
01:23:18.479 --> 01:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>their best to make the relationship work, although this wasn't

1395
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>always possible. When Marina's newborn son was just four months old,

1396
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he was taken into care after an altercation saw the

1397
01:23:28.600 --> 01:23:33.199
<v Speaker 1>baby receive a head injury. According to reports, Marina's son

1398
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:36.640
<v Speaker 1>was struck when Faith, Marina's sister, and Faith's boyfriend were

1399
01:23:36.720 --> 01:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>arguing and fighting in their Bloomfield, Indiana home. This event

1400
01:23:40.760 --> 01:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>enraged Marina understandably, and after that she refused to talk

1401
01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to her sister and distance herself from her family On

1402
01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:52.199
<v Speaker 1>her father's side. After a child had been taken into care,

1403
01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Marina was determined to get him back. She started working

1404
01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:58.399
<v Speaker 1>at the Delhi counter, the local IgA grocery store off

1405
01:23:58.479 --> 01:24:01.199
<v Speaker 1>South Highway two thirty one, and had recently moved into

1406
01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>her own apartment to show social services that she was

1407
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:07.159
<v Speaker 1>more than capable of taking care of her baby. What

1408
01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:10.279
<v Speaker 1>social services didn't know was that Marina had moved into

1409
01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the apartment with the help of a much older man, Toby,

1410
01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>whom she had been having an affair with. Not only

1411
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>was Toby much older than Marina, but he was in

1412
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>fact married, and Toby knew Marina as he was a

1413
01:24:21.239 --> 01:24:22.119
<v Speaker 1>friend of the family.

1414
01:24:22.680 --> 01:24:24.159
<v Speaker 2>While the affair was taking.

1415
01:24:23.840 --> 01:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Place, Marina maintained her on off relationship with dj, the

1416
01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:31.359
<v Speaker 1>father of her child. Their relationship was described as rocky

1417
01:24:31.399 --> 01:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>at best, but Marina felt that there was a genuine

1418
01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:36.880
<v Speaker 1>connection between them and that one day they might finally

1419
01:24:36.920 --> 01:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>settle their differences and be a proper couple again and

1420
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:44.439
<v Speaker 1>raise their child. In December of twenty fourteen, things were

1421
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:47.119
<v Speaker 1>starting to look up for Marina. She was doing well

1422
01:24:47.119 --> 01:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>at her job and the prospect of college admission was

1423
01:24:49.680 --> 01:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>drawing ever closer. New Year's Eve quickly rolled around, and

1424
01:24:53.920 --> 01:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>what should have been a night of celebration turned into

1425
01:24:56.600 --> 01:25:00.079
<v Speaker 1>a living nightmare for the Bolter family. On December third,

1426
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen, New Year's Eve, Marina went about her day

1427
01:25:04.319 --> 01:25:07.119
<v Speaker 1>as usual, finishing up her shift at the IG Grocery

1428
01:25:07.119 --> 01:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>store at around six pm. As she was leaving work,

1429
01:25:10.279 --> 01:25:12.479
<v Speaker 1>she ran into DJ, who asked her to attend a

1430
01:25:12.520 --> 01:25:15.039
<v Speaker 1>New Year's party with him. Knowing she had to work

1431
01:25:15.079 --> 01:25:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the next day, she politely declined. DJ made several attempts

1432
01:25:19.119 --> 01:25:21.399
<v Speaker 1>to convince Marina to attend the party with him, but

1433
01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:25.319
<v Speaker 1>she was having none of it. According to DJ, after

1434
01:25:25.359 --> 01:25:28.159
<v Speaker 1>the two had finished their conversation, he watched her walk

1435
01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>across to the Sunoco gas station close to the IgA

1436
01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Grocery store and get into.

1437
01:25:32.279 --> 01:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>A car with the middle aged man. The man was.

1438
01:25:34.960 --> 01:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Described as white in his forties or fifties, with glasses,

1439
01:25:38.239 --> 01:25:41.079
<v Speaker 1>and he drove either a silver page or of gold mercury

1440
01:25:41.159 --> 01:25:44.279
<v Speaker 1>milan near two thousand and nine to twenty eleven with

1441
01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>multi spoke rims, a spoiler, and a bluetooth or a

1442
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:51.479
<v Speaker 1>shark fin antenna on top. Witnesses would later confirm that

1443
01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the man in the car was indeed a regular customer

1444
01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:57.399
<v Speaker 1>at the IgA Grocery store, and when questioned, this unnamed

1445
01:25:57.439 --> 01:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>man claimed that he dropped Marina at a closed pizza

1446
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:03.680
<v Speaker 1>shop near her apartment before driving away. He told investigators

1447
01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>that he had dropped her off at the pizza shop

1448
01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:08.159
<v Speaker 1>because Marina didn't want him to know her full address.

1449
01:26:08.439 --> 01:26:12.039
<v Speaker 1>While this story seemed sketchy, Marina's mother later confirmed that

1450
01:26:12.079 --> 01:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>this sounded like something her daughter would indeed do in

1451
01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>order to keep herself safe. As the clock ticked down

1452
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.079
<v Speaker 1>to midnight and everyone was celebrating the coming of the

1453
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:23.560
<v Speaker 1>new year, nobody had any idea that Marina hadn't yet

1454
01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.800
<v Speaker 1>made it home that night. It wasn't till the next morning,

1455
01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>when she failed to short for work, that the alarm

1456
01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>was raised. This was extremely out of character from Marina,

1457
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and her boss at the IgA Grocery store immediately called

1458
01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:39.039
<v Speaker 1>her mother, Tresie, to make sure that everything was okay.

1459
01:26:39.800 --> 01:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Tressie knew immediately that something was terribly wrong and jumped

1460
01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:46.199
<v Speaker 1>into her car, racing over to Marina's apartment. As she

1461
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:48.840
<v Speaker 1>approached the apartment, she noticed that the door was locked.

1462
01:26:48.960 --> 01:26:51.439
<v Speaker 1>There was no sign of a struggle, and Marina's phone

1463
01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in purse were missing. Marina's apartment gave no clues as

1464
01:26:54.800 --> 01:26:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to her whereabouts, and in a panic, Tressie called the

1465
01:26:57.640 --> 01:27:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Bloomfield Police Department report her daughters missing. Within minutes, the

1466
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomfield Police Department had descended upon Marina's apartment and a

1467
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:10.239
<v Speaker 1>missing person investigation was underway. Investigators were able to track

1468
01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Marina's phone and found that it at last pained at

1469
01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>an unreleased location, ten minutes after she had left work.

1470
01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Investigators have not released any further information about this location

1471
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:23.359
<v Speaker 1>because of their pending investigation. During the search of Marina's apartment,

1472
01:27:23.680 --> 01:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>investigators failed to find her work clothes, which suggested that

1473
01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>she hadn't returned to her apartment at all that evening, So

1474
01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:32.319
<v Speaker 1>now they were faced with a question, where is Marina.

1475
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:36.159
<v Speaker 1>They spoke with DJ who relayed the story about Marina

1476
01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>getting into a car with a middle aged man, and

1477
01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it took three weeks for the manning question to come

1478
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:42.399
<v Speaker 1>forward and talk to investigators.

1479
01:27:42.840 --> 01:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>According to news reports.

1480
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:48.279
<v Speaker 1>This unnamed man has previous convictions for abduction along with

1481
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.760
<v Speaker 1>other crimes to graphic to mention here. Although he was

1482
01:27:51.800 --> 01:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>officially ruled out as a suspect by police during the

1483
01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>initial investigation. During their investigation, the Bloomfield Police also learned

1484
01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that Marie had been on the phone with Toby as

1485
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>she was leaving work on New Year's Eve, and that

1486
01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:06.199
<v Speaker 1>he was hosting a New Year's party that he tried

1487
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to persuade her to attend. During her phone call, Marina

1488
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:14.159
<v Speaker 1>allegedly said, oh shit, it's DJ before hanging up the phone.

1489
01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Once news got out that Marina was missing, Toby refused

1490
01:28:17.439 --> 01:28:20.239
<v Speaker 1>to speak to Tracy and only cooperatd with Marina's father

1491
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and his side of the family. It is bizarre that

1492
01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Toby sided with Marina's father's side of the family, as

1493
01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Marina herself was estranged from them. It later transpired that

1494
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Tracie had called Toby's wife to speak to her about

1495
01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the affair and discovered that Toby's wife had no idea

1496
01:28:37.079 --> 01:28:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and that she'd only found out because Tracy had phoned her.

1497
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Was Toby angry that Tressi had tipped off his wife

1498
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>about his affair, or was he siding with Marina's father

1499
01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.479
<v Speaker 1>to cover his own guilt. Marina's father and that side

1500
01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:53.319
<v Speaker 1>of the family firmly believed that DJ is responsible for

1501
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Marina's disappearance and maintained to this day that he had

1502
01:28:56.880 --> 01:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>something to do with it. DJ was subjected to polygraph

1503
01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:04.479
<v Speaker 1>in passed, but just weeks after Marina disappeared, another tragedy

1504
01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:09.439
<v Speaker 1>would strike. On February twelve, twenty fifteen, DJ died following

1505
01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:11.560
<v Speaker 1>an altercation in a bar with a man with the

1506
01:29:11.600 --> 01:29:16.399
<v Speaker 1>name of Michael Rogers. Rogers was not charged, as investigators

1507
01:29:16.399 --> 01:29:18.800
<v Speaker 1>deemed it to be an act of self defense, but

1508
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>any knowledge that DJ had about Marina was now taken

1509
01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>with him to the grave. There's also another person to

1510
01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>consider in Marina's case, and that is an ex felon

1511
01:29:28.680 --> 01:29:31.319
<v Speaker 1>who was convicted of a horrific crime against the young girl.

1512
01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>This ex fella lived in Marina's apartment block, and the

1513
01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Bloomfield Police have said that they do not consider him

1514
01:29:37.560 --> 01:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a suspect. While researching Marina's case, very few articles came

1515
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:45.319
<v Speaker 1>up in regards to this man and it is hard

1516
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:48.760
<v Speaker 1>to discern the truth about him. In an interview for

1517
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:53.359
<v Speaker 1>NBC News, Ashley Boulter, Marina's sister in law, said, who

1518
01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:57.279
<v Speaker 1>really knows if what he DJ saw happen, but either way,

1519
01:29:57.479 --> 01:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>she disappeared. There are several theories, But all we know

1520
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:03.479
<v Speaker 1>is someone out there knows what happened when she left

1521
01:30:03.479 --> 01:30:07.279
<v Speaker 1>that store. It's like nine out of ten days you're fine.

1522
01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>You just push on. Then that tenth day comes.

1523
01:30:10.359 --> 01:30:11.199
<v Speaker 2>And you collapse.

1524
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:14.800
<v Speaker 1>The biggest thing is that she's a mother. The least

1525
01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>we want is answers so that one day we can

1526
01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:23.039
<v Speaker 1>give her little boy the information he deserves. Marina Bolter

1527
01:30:23.199 --> 01:30:26.680
<v Speaker 1>was last seen on December thirty first, twenty fourteen, as

1528
01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:29.279
<v Speaker 1>described as the white female with blonde hair and blue eyes.

1529
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Both of her ears appierced, and she has a tattoo

1530
01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of a star with butterfly wings on her foot. She

1531
01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was last seen wearing a black and purple plaid pea coat,

1532
01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>jeans with rhinestones on the back, pockets, ink and white

1533
01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Nike shocked shoes with a purple swoosh outlined in black,

1534
01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:50.119
<v Speaker 1>and a cross necklace. The Charlie Project also mentions that

1535
01:30:50.159 --> 01:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>she was carrying a bag with love written on the side.

1536
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Anyone with any information whatsoever because as to police, contact

1537
01:30:57.279 --> 01:31:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bloomfield Police Department on eight one two three three

1538
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:05.199
<v Speaker 1>two four four one one. For the Indiana State Police

1539
01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>on eight one two three eight four four four one

1540
01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:17.479
<v Speaker 1>one next up, Christina Bastian. Thirty four year old Christina

1541
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Bastian worked as an English teacher at Silverado High School

1542
01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in Apple Valley, California in twenty fifteen, and was well

1543
01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>liked by her students and those in her community. In

1544
01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.439
<v Speaker 1>recent years, Christina had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and

1545
01:31:31.560 --> 01:31:34.319
<v Speaker 1>was working with doctors and mental health professionals to help

1546
01:31:34.359 --> 01:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>manage her condition. She had been prescribed medication, which she

1547
01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>had stopped in the months before she disappeared. Sources state

1548
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that Christina came off for medication after counseling her doctor

1549
01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:48.079
<v Speaker 1>and began telling family and friends that God had healed her.

1550
01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:51.199
<v Speaker 1>When she first came off to medication, she seemed as

1551
01:31:51.239 --> 01:31:55.479
<v Speaker 1>though she was doing well. However, this slowly changed, and

1552
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just days before she was last seen, Christina's mood and

1553
01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:04.960
<v Speaker 1>personality dramatic shifted. In late October of twenty fifteen, Christina

1554
01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:09.239
<v Speaker 1>began exhibiting bizarre behavior, telling her friends and family that

1555
01:32:09.439 --> 01:32:12.079
<v Speaker 1>someone had broken into her apartment and that someone was

1556
01:32:12.119 --> 01:32:17.359
<v Speaker 1>watching her and following her every move. Christina was inconsolable,

1557
01:32:17.439 --> 01:32:20.279
<v Speaker 1>despite her friends and family trying to reassure that everything

1558
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:24.079
<v Speaker 1>was okay. In an attempt to make her feel safe.

1559
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Friends and family allowed her to stay with him for

1560
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:31.319
<v Speaker 1>a few days, promising her that everything would be all right. However,

1561
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Christina's behavior only worsened over the coming days, and the

1562
01:32:35.119 --> 01:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>day before she disappeared, she drove from Apple Valley, California,

1563
01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:43.159
<v Speaker 1>to Phoenix, Arizona, for reasons that are unknown. According to

1564
01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Christina's mother, Cheryl, she received a phone call from her

1565
01:32:46.479 --> 01:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>daughter telling her that she was in Phoenix. Reports indicate

1566
01:32:50.039 --> 01:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that after this, Christina took the SIM card out of

1567
01:32:52.520 --> 01:32:56.520
<v Speaker 1>her phone and then smashed the phone to bits. On

1568
01:32:56.600 --> 01:32:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the day before disappearance, Christina also spoke to her brother

1569
01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:02.399
<v Speaker 1>in law and cryptically told him I don't want to

1570
01:33:02.399 --> 01:33:07.079
<v Speaker 1>be Christina Bastian anymore. This chilling statement was a premonition

1571
01:33:07.159 --> 01:33:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of what was to come, and Christina also told him

1572
01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:14.159
<v Speaker 1>that she wanted to disappear of the next day. This premonition,

1573
01:33:14.279 --> 01:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>if that's what it was, had come true, and Christina

1574
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was nowhere to be found. On November one, twenty fifteen,

1575
01:33:22.279 --> 01:33:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Christina arrived at a friend's house in Apple Valley after

1576
01:33:25.359 --> 01:33:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the two agreed that Christina could stay the night. This

1577
01:33:28.840 --> 01:33:32.239
<v Speaker 1>wasn't unusual for Christina and in the previous weeks, she'd

1578
01:33:32.239 --> 01:33:35.479
<v Speaker 1>been overly paranoid that someone had broken into her apartment.

1579
01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:36.840
<v Speaker 2>And that someone was trying to get her.

1580
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>She brought with her some valuable items as well as

1581
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:43.960
<v Speaker 1>everyday items such as her bag, purse, and glasses, along

1582
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:48.359
<v Speaker 1>with her blood dog, Coco. The full details of what

1583
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:51.359
<v Speaker 1>happened that night have never been released, but according to

1584
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the Charlie Project, Christina left her friend's house at around

1585
01:33:54.640 --> 01:33:59.000
<v Speaker 1>one forty five am after becoming upset. It is unknown

1586
01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:01.920
<v Speaker 1>whether the two had had an actual disagreement, for whether

1587
01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Christina's paranoia and altered mintal state took over. According to

1588
01:34:06.279 --> 01:34:09.079
<v Speaker 1>the friend, Christina jumped into her silver two door Dodge

1589
01:34:09.159 --> 01:34:12.199
<v Speaker 1>rammed fifteen hundred pickup and drove away into the night.

1590
01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Her friend hoped that Christina would return after taking a

1591
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.640
<v Speaker 1>short drive to clear her head, but as the sun rose,

1592
01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>there was no sign of Christina. That same night, forty

1593
01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>six miles away on Highway to forty seven near Bodic

1594
01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Road in Johnson Valley, California, the California Highway Patrol found

1595
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>some of Christina's personal items scattered on the side of

1596
01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the highway. It wasn't until the next morning that her

1597
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:40.079
<v Speaker 1>car was found abandoned a further thirty seven miles away

1598
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>near Valleyview Road in twenty nine. Palms Highway investigators who

1599
01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>discovered the car noted that it was covered in dense

1600
01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and scrapes, almost as if it had been driven through

1601
01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>rocky terrain. Christina's family held their collective breath as the

1602
01:34:54.319 --> 01:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>news of the discovery of her car was relayed to them,

1603
01:34:57.000 --> 01:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>but as the investigators went through the details, they realized

1604
01:35:00.199 --> 01:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that there was still no sign of Christina. Their concern

1605
01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>grew as the hours passed, knowing that she was in

1606
01:35:06.039 --> 01:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>an altered state of mind, with no car, no wallet,

1607
01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>no id, and no glasses as she had left all

1608
01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:14.479
<v Speaker 1>these items behind at her friend's house the night before.

1609
01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Also on November first, twenty fifteen, Christina's blood dog, Coco,

1610
01:35:20.680 --> 01:35:22.720
<v Speaker 1>was found wandering in Apple Valley on the side of

1611
01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Highway eighteen. A kind stranger took Coco in and put

1612
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>up flyers and posters appealing for the owner to come forward.

1613
01:35:29.399 --> 01:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Christina's family were alerted to this and chose for Coco

1614
01:35:32.680 --> 01:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to remain in the woman's care while they searched for Christina.

1615
01:35:36.640 --> 01:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>As the days went on, search for Christina continued, with

1616
01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:42.880
<v Speaker 1>local police forces and volunteers turning out in droves to

1617
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>look for so sadly, no sign of her was to

1618
01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:49.439
<v Speaker 1>be found. It wasn't until eleven days later that a

1619
01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:53.119
<v Speaker 1>horrific discovery was made near Bear Valley Road in Apple Valley.

1620
01:35:53.680 --> 01:35:56.319
<v Speaker 1>The area is described as being a dirt road and

1621
01:35:56.399 --> 01:35:59.039
<v Speaker 1>the location of discovery only added to the fears of

1622
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:02.399
<v Speaker 1>the investigators and Christina's family. On the side of the

1623
01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>dirt road, a passerby noticed a discarded backpack and von

1624
01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:09.720
<v Speaker 1>opening it, they found medication, money, and photographs that all

1625
01:36:09.720 --> 01:36:13.039
<v Speaker 1>belonged to Christina. This discovery was called into the Apple

1626
01:36:13.119 --> 01:36:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Valley pd who used canines and helicopters to search the area,

1627
01:36:17.039 --> 01:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>but sadly, no other clues were to be found. Cheryl

1628
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Christina's mother please that her daughter may be in Yuca

1629
01:36:23.560 --> 01:36:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Valley for the surrounding area and is homeless or living

1630
01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:30.199
<v Speaker 1>a transient lifestyle. In a Facebook post to the page

1631
01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>helped find Christina Bastian in July twenty eighteen, Cheryl wrote,

1632
01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months ago, a young, well kept, homeless

1633
01:36:37.640 --> 01:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>man identified Christina by name from a picture he was

1634
01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>in front of the walmart in Yuca Valley, California. I

1635
01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>believe she is there. If you see her, please snap

1636
01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a picture and send it to me. I miss her

1637
01:36:49.960 --> 01:36:53.640
<v Speaker 1>more than words can express. According to other posts made

1638
01:36:53.640 --> 01:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>on this page, Cheryl has received several emails and tips

1639
01:36:56.760 --> 01:36:59.439
<v Speaker 1>from people in California and beyond who believe that they

1640
01:36:59.439 --> 01:37:04.479
<v Speaker 1>have seen Christistina panhandling and begging for change. Christina Basjohn

1641
01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>was last seen on November first, twenty fifteen, in Apple Valley, California.

1642
01:37:09.359 --> 01:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>She's described as a white female with red hair, brown eyes,

1643
01:37:12.920 --> 01:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>five foot six inches tall and weighs about one hundred

1644
01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:20.199
<v Speaker 1>and seventy pounds. Christina's ears and cartilage are pierced. She

1645
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:22.600
<v Speaker 1>has a scar on her thumb, a scar on her

1646
01:37:22.680 --> 01:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>right eyebrow, and a tattoo of a cherry blossom with

1647
01:37:25.920 --> 01:37:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Chinese writing on her left ankle and foot. She also

1648
01:37:29.239 --> 01:37:32.399
<v Speaker 1>needs glasses to see, however, these were left behind at.

1649
01:37:32.239 --> 01:37:35.319
<v Speaker 2>The time of her disappearance. Cheryl told the.

1650
01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Media that without her glasses, Christina can only see about

1651
01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:40.119
<v Speaker 1>six inches in front of her, and all she had

1652
01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:42.119
<v Speaker 1>was at the time of her disappearance was a pair

1653
01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:46.119
<v Speaker 1>of contacts she was wearing. Christina was diagnosed with bipolar

1654
01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:50.439
<v Speaker 1>disorder and requires medication for her condition. However, she had

1655
01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:54.079
<v Speaker 1>stopped taking these months before she disappeared, apparently with her

1656
01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:58.680
<v Speaker 1>doctor's permission. According to her, anyone with any information is

1657
01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:02.439
<v Speaker 1>asked to contact the Samberino Sheriff's Department at nine zero

1658
01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>nine three eight seven three six nine zero for the

1659
01:38:06.680 --> 01:38:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Apple Valley PD at seven six zero two four zero

1660
01:38:11.239 --> 01:38:16.479
<v Speaker 1>seven to four zero zero. Next, we have Kaya Taylor.

1661
01:38:17.600 --> 01:38:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eight year old Kaya Taylor has been described by

1662
01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:23.359
<v Speaker 1>friends and family as a lively, warm, and affectionate person

1663
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:25.239
<v Speaker 1>who would go out of her way to help those

1664
01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>in need. At the time of her disappearance, Kaya was

1665
01:38:28.920 --> 01:38:32.159
<v Speaker 1>living in Plant City, Florida, with her boyfriend, although some

1666
01:38:32.279 --> 01:38:35.720
<v Speaker 1>reports state that she was couch surfing and staying with friends.

1667
01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Guy's family have created the Facebook page Finding Kaya in

1668
01:38:39.680 --> 01:38:42.199
<v Speaker 1>an attempt to gather as much information as possible and

1669
01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>spread the word about her disappearance. Her family has also

1670
01:38:46.119 --> 01:38:48.720
<v Speaker 1>been very vocal about the lack of progress made in

1671
01:38:48.760 --> 01:38:52.359
<v Speaker 1>her case. In August of twenty twenty, her family made

1672
01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a post of the Facebook page laying out the facts

1673
01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:57.960
<v Speaker 1>of Kaya's case and asking anyone with information to contact

1674
01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office. Kaya Taylor was last seen

1675
01:39:02.039 --> 01:39:05.520
<v Speaker 1>at around four pm on February sixth, twenty twenty, dropping

1676
01:39:05.520 --> 01:39:08.199
<v Speaker 1>her boyfriend off at his friend's house located off Cawrot

1677
01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and Trapnel Road in Plant City, Florida. According to her boyfriend,

1678
01:39:12.840 --> 01:39:16.399
<v Speaker 1>his friend, and his friend's father, they also kayat dropping

1679
01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:19.119
<v Speaker 1>off her boyfriend before leaving to make her way to Lakeland,

1680
01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:23.119
<v Speaker 1>where she was due to stay with a friend. Unfortunately,

1681
01:39:23.239 --> 01:39:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Kaya had never arrived at her friend's house in Lakeland,

1682
01:39:25.960 --> 01:39:28.359
<v Speaker 1>and this friend informed her boyfriend that she had never

1683
01:39:28.439 --> 01:39:32.640
<v Speaker 1>shown up. Days later, just three hours after Kya was

1684
01:39:32.720 --> 01:39:35.680
<v Speaker 1>last seen, her car was discovered abandoned on the railway

1685
01:39:35.720 --> 01:39:39.399
<v Speaker 1>tracks on Trapnel Road. Guy's family has stated that this

1686
01:39:39.520 --> 01:39:41.880
<v Speaker 1>railway was out of use and maintenance works were being

1687
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:45.720
<v Speaker 1>carried out on the tracks. A concerned citizen noticed the

1688
01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:47.479
<v Speaker 1>car and called the police to alert them to the

1689
01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:51.640
<v Speaker 1>situation and get it moved. Plant City Police Department arrived

1690
01:39:51.640 --> 01:39:54.119
<v Speaker 1>at the scene and found that Kay's car was still running,

1691
01:39:54.600 --> 01:39:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the windows open facing northbound, and that her phone was

1692
01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>on the floor of the vehicle. Oh Oddly, instead of

1693
01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>running her plates, the officer who attended the scene got

1694
01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>into Kaya's car and moved it to the side of

1695
01:40:06.039 --> 01:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>the railway tracks. For another three days, Kaya's carr sat

1696
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:12.560
<v Speaker 1>at the edge of these tracks until her boyfriend's mother

1697
01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.399
<v Speaker 1>saw it sitting there. She went over to her son's

1698
01:40:15.439 --> 01:40:17.159
<v Speaker 1>house to let him know what was going on, and

1699
01:40:17.199 --> 01:40:19.079
<v Speaker 1>he told his mother that Kaya was supposed to be

1700
01:40:19.159 --> 01:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>in Lakeland, so he couldn't understand why her car had

1701
01:40:21.560 --> 01:40:25.680
<v Speaker 1>been abandoned where it was. During the worst, Kaya's boyfriend

1702
01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:27.720
<v Speaker 1>called a friend in Lakeland, who confirmed that she had

1703
01:40:27.760 --> 01:40:31.560
<v Speaker 1>never arrived. After this, Kaya's boyfriend called her mother to

1704
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>let her know that her daughter hadn't been seen since

1705
01:40:33.680 --> 01:40:37.359
<v Speaker 1>February sixth, and that her car had been abandoned. After

1706
01:40:37.399 --> 01:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>being notified that her daughter had gone missing, Kaya's mother

1707
01:40:40.319 --> 01:40:42.079
<v Speaker 1>went to collect her car that had been left at

1708
01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>the side of the railroad tracks. Inside the car, she

1709
01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>found Kaya's phone and wallet. This sent alarm bells ringing,

1710
01:40:48.920 --> 01:40:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and Kaya's mother called the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office to

1711
01:40:51.479 --> 01:40:55.159
<v Speaker 1>report her daughter missing. Four days after she was last seen,

1712
01:40:55.319 --> 01:40:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Kaya Taylor was officially listed as a missing person and

1713
01:40:58.119 --> 01:41:03.760
<v Speaker 1>an investigation was opened. In the days following Kaya's disappearance, friends, family,

1714
01:41:03.800 --> 01:41:06.199
<v Speaker 1>and members of the local community gathered to help canvas

1715
01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the area and aid the police in their search for her.

1716
01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:10.520
<v Speaker 2>The police used sent.

1717
01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Dogs, helicopters, as well as officers on the ground, all

1718
01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:17.439
<v Speaker 1>calling to the area looking for Kaya. A forensic examination

1719
01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:20.760
<v Speaker 1>was conducted on Kaya's car, however, this yielded no results.

1720
01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Kaya's family remained strong, canvassing the area, putting up flyers

1721
01:41:24.960 --> 01:41:28.159
<v Speaker 1>and talking to residents who may have seen something. They

1722
01:41:28.199 --> 01:41:31.399
<v Speaker 1>also held a vigil to help bring awareness to Kaia's disappearance,

1723
01:41:31.840 --> 01:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>but despite the media coverage and attention, no one came

1724
01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>forward with any information. The first clue didn't come until

1725
01:41:38.800 --> 01:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>February twenty sixth, twenty twenty, twenty days after Kaya had

1726
01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:46.239
<v Speaker 1>last been seen. According to the Facebook post made with

1727
01:41:46.359 --> 01:41:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Kaya's family, twenty days after Kaya's disappearance on February twenty

1728
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:53.199
<v Speaker 1>six her shoes were found located not too far from

1729
01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>her car, next to a light pole that had her

1730
01:41:55.560 --> 01:41:59.760
<v Speaker 1>picture on it attached to a missing person's flyer. Family friends,

1731
01:41:59.760 --> 01:42:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and police officers searched the seria prior and the shoes

1732
01:42:02.640 --> 01:42:06.199
<v Speaker 1>were not there. It's as if someone placed them there.

1733
01:42:07.319 --> 01:42:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Another posling clue that was uncovered during the investigation was

1734
01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Kaiya's last text to her boyfriend, which read, so you

1735
01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:16.840
<v Speaker 1>were going to send your white supremacist friends to take

1736
01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:20.000
<v Speaker 1>care of me? A post written for The Bear Press

1737
01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:23.159
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that Kaya is biracial and that her boyfriend social

1738
01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:25.600
<v Speaker 1>media was filled with posts of the Confederate flag and

1739
01:42:25.680 --> 01:42:30.720
<v Speaker 1>other racist propaganda. Guy's mother also confirmed to people dot

1740
01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Com that Kaya had recently fallen in with a bad

1741
01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:37.520
<v Speaker 1>crowd and had possibly been experimenting with drugs. Since Kaya's

1742
01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:40.560
<v Speaker 1>shoes were discovered in February twenty twenty, her case has

1743
01:42:40.600 --> 01:42:43.000
<v Speaker 1>gone cold. Despite the best efforts of her family to

1744
01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:46.439
<v Speaker 1>keep her name in the media, Kaya Taylor remains missing

1745
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:49.119
<v Speaker 1>and her family are offering a ten thousand dollars reward

1746
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:51.479
<v Speaker 1>for any information that leads to her whereabouts.

1747
01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:53.119
<v Speaker 2>We'd also like to.

1748
01:42:53.079 --> 01:42:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Mention that Kay's boyfriend has not been named publicly, and

1749
01:42:56.279 --> 01:42:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office have stated that he is

1750
01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:03.039
<v Speaker 1>not a suspect in kyle disappearance. Kaya Taylor was last

1751
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.159
<v Speaker 1>seen on February sixth, twenty twenty, and is described as

1752
01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a biracial African American white mix female, five foot six

1753
01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>inches tall at one hundred and seventy pounds with auburn

1754
01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>red hair and brown eyes. Kaya has multiple tattoos, an

01:43:17.600 --> 01:43:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Infinity symbol on her left upper chest, two exits with

1756
01:43:20.640 --> 01:43:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the rows on the back of her shoulder, arose on

1757
01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the inside of her forearm, son on her upper right thigh,

1758
01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:29.399
<v Speaker 1>and a ladybird on her left calf. She was last

1759
01:43:29.399 --> 01:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>seen wearing a blue, gray, red and white striped short

1760
01:43:31.920 --> 01:43:35.279
<v Speaker 1>sleeved mini dress, tan knee high boots, and possibly a

1761
01:43:35.319 --> 01:43:39.079
<v Speaker 1>pink cardigan. Anyone with any information is urged to please

1762
01:43:39.159 --> 01:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at eight one three

1763
01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>two four seven eight two zero zero. Next, we have

1764
01:43:49.399 --> 01:43:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Jake Latios. Twenty two year old Jake Latios was last

1765
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>seen on the Interstate ten bridge over the Mississippi River

1766
01:43:56.960 --> 01:44:00.439
<v Speaker 1>in Baton Rouge on August twenty ninth, twenty four, at

1767
01:44:00.439 --> 01:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>around two am. A passer by told investigators they had

1768
01:44:04.039 --> 01:44:06.359
<v Speaker 1>spoke to Jake at around two am as he was

1769
01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:09.720
<v Speaker 1>sitting next to his pickup truck on the bridge. Jake

1770
01:44:09.800 --> 01:44:11.640
<v Speaker 1>informed the stranger that he was on his way to

1771
01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>West Baton Rouge, but sadly, Jake never made it there.

1772
01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:18.840
<v Speaker 1>A few hours later, the Baton Rouge police department received

1773
01:44:18.880 --> 01:44:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a bizarre call that kick started the search for Jake.

1774
01:44:22.560 --> 01:44:25.640
<v Speaker 1>In the early morning hours of August twenty ninth, twenty fourteen,

1775
01:44:25.880 --> 01:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>the Baton Rouge Police Department were called to the Interstate

1776
01:44:28.319 --> 01:44:31.119
<v Speaker 1>ten Bridge when an anonymous caller reported seeing a person

1777
01:44:31.199 --> 01:44:34.960
<v Speaker 1>jump from the bridge into the waters below. Person calling

1778
01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:37.159
<v Speaker 1>did not want to give their identity, and it appears

1779
01:44:37.199 --> 01:44:39.520
<v Speaker 1>they were not at the scene when the police arrived.

1780
01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:43.319
<v Speaker 1>The Baton Rouge Police took this call very seriously and

1781
01:44:43.359 --> 01:44:46.359
<v Speaker 1>dispatched officers to the scene. However, when they arrived, they

1782
01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:50.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find anything. They looked into the water below but

1783
01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:54.359
<v Speaker 1>saw no sign of anyone having jumped. A dive team

1784
01:44:54.479 --> 01:44:56.720
<v Speaker 1>was called to the area to recover any remains or

1785
01:44:56.840 --> 01:45:00.199
<v Speaker 1>rescue the person, but again the dive team found nothing.

1786
01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:04.479
<v Speaker 1>What the Baton Rouge Police Department did find was Jake's

1787
01:45:04.520 --> 01:45:07.920
<v Speaker 1>pickup truck, still running abandoned on the side of the road.

1788
01:45:09.119 --> 01:45:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Inside the vehicle were Jake's Poham cigarettes and a trolling

1789
01:45:12.199 --> 01:45:15.079
<v Speaker 1>motor that he had just purchased, but his wallet and

1790
01:45:15.119 --> 01:45:17.239
<v Speaker 1>crutches that he was using at the time were nowhere

1791
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:20.279
<v Speaker 1>to be found. At the time of his disappearance, Jake

1792
01:45:20.319 --> 01:45:22.319
<v Speaker 1>had a broken foot and right hand, and was wearing

1793
01:45:22.319 --> 01:45:25.159
<v Speaker 1>an orthopedic boot as well as using crutches to get around.

1794
01:45:26.279 --> 01:45:28.720
<v Speaker 1>His crutches weren't recovered from the bridge nor the water,

1795
01:45:29.119 --> 01:45:33.720
<v Speaker 1>leaving authorities with more questions than answers. Jake's mother, Tina Leclerk,

1796
01:45:34.039 --> 01:45:37.319
<v Speaker 1>told NBC if he jumped off the bridge, his crutches

1797
01:45:37.319 --> 01:45:39.880
<v Speaker 1>would have been found. They would have been left in

1798
01:45:39.920 --> 01:45:42.439
<v Speaker 1>his room by a truck on the bridge floating in

1799
01:45:42.479 --> 01:45:47.199
<v Speaker 1>the water. Jake's case only became more bizarre when his mother, Tina,

1800
01:45:47.439 --> 01:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>visited his apartment after the Baton Rouge Police Department contacted

1801
01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>her to let her know that his truck had been

1802
01:45:52.319 --> 01:45:55.720
<v Speaker 1>found abandoned on the side of the bridge. She told

1803
01:45:55.840 --> 01:46:00.279
<v Speaker 1>NBC when I got there, it automatically seemed suspicious. The

1804
01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:02.960
<v Speaker 1>window was punched out, there were holes in the wall.

1805
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:07.079
<v Speaker 1>His personal items were missing, including his TV set. Just

1806
01:46:07.239 --> 01:46:12.159
<v Speaker 1>everything was a mess. Several years had passed since Jake disappeared,

1807
01:46:12.159 --> 01:46:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and sadly, the Baton Rouge Police Department are still no

1808
01:46:14.800 --> 01:46:18.279
<v Speaker 1>closer to solving his case. According to a Facebook post

1809
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:22.000
<v Speaker 1>made to the help Find Missing Jake Allen Lattio's page

1810
01:46:22.039 --> 01:46:25.359
<v Speaker 1>in August twenty twenty one. His crutches were located much

1811
01:46:25.439 --> 01:46:28.560
<v Speaker 1>later at an undisclosed time and location, but no further

1812
01:46:28.640 --> 01:46:30.279
<v Speaker 1>information has been provided.

1813
01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:30.680
<v Speaker 2>About this fact.

1814
01:46:31.680 --> 01:46:34.359
<v Speaker 1>His mother, Tina, believes that Jake met with foul play

1815
01:46:34.520 --> 01:46:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and that someone staged to look like he took his

1816
01:46:36.560 --> 01:46:40.720
<v Speaker 1>own life. Tina said she's ready for whatever outcome and

1817
01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just wants to know the truth of what happened to

1818
01:46:43.039 --> 01:46:47.039
<v Speaker 1>her son. Twenty two year old Jake Ladios was last

1819
01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:50.359
<v Speaker 1>seen on August twenty nine, twenty fourteen, on the Interstate

1820
01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:53.439
<v Speaker 1>ten Bridge and Baton Rouge. He's described as a white

1821
01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:57.039
<v Speaker 1>male with brown hair brown eyes, stands approximately five foot

1822
01:46:57.119 --> 01:46:59.359
<v Speaker 1>nine inches tall and weighs between one hundred and thirty

1823
01:46:59.359 --> 01:47:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and one hundred and fifty pounds. Jake has a cross shaped

1824
01:47:02.720 --> 01:47:04.479
<v Speaker 1>scar on his left wrest and at the time of

1825
01:47:04.479 --> 01:47:07.359
<v Speaker 1>his disappearance he had a broken foot, a broken right

1826
01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:11.800
<v Speaker 1>hand was using an orthopedic boot and crutches. Anyone with

1827
01:47:11.960 --> 01:47:14.880
<v Speaker 1>any information has urged the police contact the Batton Rouge

1828
01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Police Department at two two five, three eight nine, four

1829
01:47:18.960 --> 01:47:25.720
<v Speaker 1>six one seven and finally, Audrey may Heron, thirty one

1830
01:47:25.800 --> 01:47:28.079
<v Speaker 1>year old Audrey may Heron was a devoted mother of

1831
01:47:28.119 --> 01:47:30.640
<v Speaker 1>three and a nurse living in Catskill, New York at

1832
01:47:30.640 --> 01:47:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the time of her disappearance. When Audrey was just twenty two,

1833
01:47:34.560 --> 01:47:37.479
<v Speaker 1>she gave birth to her first child, Soncia, and with

1834
01:47:37.560 --> 01:47:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the help of her parents, continued her studies and eventually

1835
01:47:40.199 --> 01:47:42.600
<v Speaker 1>became a full time nurse at a nearby nursing home.

1836
01:47:43.239 --> 01:47:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Audrey later went on to marry Jeff Heron, and the

1837
01:47:45.800 --> 01:47:49.359
<v Speaker 1>couple had two more children, Katie and Quinn. The blended

1838
01:47:49.399 --> 01:47:53.000
<v Speaker 1>family quickly meshed together, with Sonsia telling true crime daily.

1839
01:47:53.560 --> 01:47:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Even though I wasn't his child, he still considered me

1840
01:47:56.479 --> 01:48:00.600
<v Speaker 1>his daughter and I called him Dad. For the herons

1841
01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:03.880
<v Speaker 1>was going smoothly. Two thousand and two, Sancy was ten

1842
01:48:03.960 --> 01:48:06.600
<v Speaker 1>years old, and a few days before, at Labor Day weekend,

1843
01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:09.319
<v Speaker 1>she'd just returned to her cat's go home from Florida,

1844
01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:12.399
<v Speaker 1>where she'd spent the last month with her grandmother, Shirley,

1845
01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:16.119
<v Speaker 1>which was Audrey's mother. Shirley revealed that Audrey had just

1846
01:48:16.159 --> 01:48:18.359
<v Speaker 1>been given a raise at work and was excited to

1847
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:20.760
<v Speaker 1>see her daughter after she'd been away for so long.

1848
01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Audrey's shifts are working until eleven pm at night, and

1849
01:48:25.680 --> 01:48:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Shirley agreed that this would be far too late. For

1850
01:48:27.800 --> 01:48:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to pick Sancia from her home. Sanc stayed the night

1851
01:48:31.560 --> 01:48:34.800
<v Speaker 1>at her grandmother's house, waiting eagerly for her mother to

1852
01:48:34.840 --> 01:48:37.119
<v Speaker 1>come and pick her up on the morning of August thirtieth,

1853
01:48:37.119 --> 01:48:41.680
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two, but sadly, that knock at the

1854
01:48:41.720 --> 01:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>door and the familiar shout of Sancy's name never came.

1855
01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Shirley told Dateline, I called Audrey and she said she

1856
01:48:49.359 --> 01:48:52.000
<v Speaker 1>had a doctor's appointment the next morning, but she would

1857
01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:55.760
<v Speaker 1>pick Sanzy up after that. Shirley was surprised when the

1858
01:48:55.760 --> 01:48:58.079
<v Speaker 1>phone rang at six am the next morning and she

1859
01:48:58.119 --> 01:49:00.520
<v Speaker 1>heard Jeff on the other end of the poem asking

1860
01:49:00.560 --> 01:49:04.439
<v Speaker 1>if she had seen Audrey. She told HIMBC Jeff called

1861
01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and asked if Audrey was at my house. It would

1862
01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>not have been unusual for her to stay over with me,

1863
01:49:09.079 --> 01:49:11.119
<v Speaker 1>but normally she would have called him to let him know.

1864
01:49:11.960 --> 01:49:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I said she wasn't here, but I didn't think anything

1865
01:49:15.039 --> 01:49:19.279
<v Speaker 1>of it, so I dozed back off. Shirley's slumber was

1866
01:49:19.319 --> 01:49:22.119
<v Speaker 1>interrupted an hour later by another phone call from Jeff.

1867
01:49:22.640 --> 01:49:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This time he sounded more panic. He told Shirley that

1868
01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Audrey hadn't returned home from work the previous evening. According

1869
01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to Shirley. She relayed this information to a family member

1870
01:49:32.000 --> 01:49:34.439
<v Speaker 1>who used to work in law enforcement, who in turn

1871
01:49:34.560 --> 01:49:38.720
<v Speaker 1>reported Audrey's missing. A wide scale search began, and the

1872
01:49:38.760 --> 01:49:42.199
<v Speaker 1>local police, along with Audrey's family, began canvassing the area.

1873
01:49:43.079 --> 01:49:46.159
<v Speaker 1>During their investigation, the New York State Police came across

1874
01:49:46.279 --> 01:49:49.960
<v Speaker 1>CCTV footage. They confirmed Audrey left work all the evening

1875
01:49:50.039 --> 01:49:52.359
<v Speaker 1>of August twenty ninth, two thousand and two, in her

1876
01:49:52.399 --> 01:49:56.760
<v Speaker 1>black nineteen ninety nine jeep Grand chero Key. New York

1877
01:49:56.800 --> 01:50:00.560
<v Speaker 1>State Police Detective Kaminski said, we only we have one

1878
01:50:00.600 --> 01:50:03.399
<v Speaker 1>graining video from Cumberland Farms in which it appears that

1879
01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Audrey's vehicle does leave her place of employment and basically

1880
01:50:06.800 --> 01:50:09.640
<v Speaker 1>turned left going west on County Route twenty three B.

1881
01:50:10.760 --> 01:50:13.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the last of any kind of technology we had.

1882
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:16.880
<v Speaker 1>We can't confirm it's the vehicle because of the quality

1883
01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:20.079
<v Speaker 1>of the video, but it appears to be. The quality

1884
01:50:20.079 --> 01:50:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of the video was very poor and very grainy, but

1885
01:50:22.439 --> 01:50:24.199
<v Speaker 1>it does appear to leave at the time she would

1886
01:50:24.239 --> 01:50:27.880
<v Speaker 1>have ended work. Armed with this new piece of information,

1887
01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:31.880
<v Speaker 1>investigators began searching bodies of water in any other areas

1888
01:50:31.880 --> 01:50:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that Audrey may have ended up, but came up with nothing.

1889
01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:37.880
<v Speaker 1>There was no activity on her phone, credit or debit

1890
01:50:37.960 --> 01:50:41.000
<v Speaker 1>cards since August twenty ninth, two thousand and two, and

1891
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the investigation quickly went cold. Tips and leads have been

1892
01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:47.960
<v Speaker 1>followed to their end, and almost twenty years later, we're

1893
01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:54.239
<v Speaker 1>still asking the question where is Audrey Herron Jeff, Audrey's husband,

1894
01:50:54.279 --> 01:50:57.359
<v Speaker 1>has been described as uncooperative for the New York State Police.

1895
01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:01.439
<v Speaker 1>He has voluntarily undergone a PolyGram test, and his property

1896
01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:04.479
<v Speaker 1>has been searched extensively. Nothing was found in connection with

1897
01:51:04.520 --> 01:51:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Audrey's disappearance. The New York State Police have said that

1898
01:51:08.079 --> 01:51:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Jeff is not considered a suspect, but that they are

1899
01:51:10.800 --> 01:51:13.800
<v Speaker 1>considering her case of homicide rather than a missing person case.

1900
01:51:14.960 --> 01:51:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Audrey was last seen leaving her workplace on August twenty nine,

1901
01:51:18.119 --> 01:51:20.800

1907
01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:40.720
<v Speaker 1>mole on the inside of her right knee. She was

1908
01:51:40.800 --> 01:51:44.079
<v Speaker 1>last seen wearing a blue turtleneck, dark green medical scrubs,

1909

1915
01:52:05.239 --> 01:52:11.600
<v Speaker 1>creepy cases? Somewhere somebody knows the truth. Hopefully the day

1916
01:52:11.640 --> 01:52:13.920
<v Speaker 1>will come when all these cases can be solved and

1917
01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the families can have the closure that they deserve. Thank

<v Speaker 2>Down the trail.

1923
01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.

1924
01:52:52.359 --> 01:52:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends. This is episode number five in our Creepy

1925
01:52:56.479 --> 01:53:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Cases series. Although many of the cases we come on

1926
01:53:00.279 --> 01:53:03.199
<v Speaker 1>the channel have at least some bizarre, strange element to them,

1927
01:53:03.600 --> 01:53:07.119
<v Speaker 1>these are five more hand pick cases that we feel

1928
01:53:07.399 --> 01:53:08.840
<v Speaker 1>have the highest creep factor.

1929
01:53:09.640 --> 01:53:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Join us.

1930
01:53:13.479 --> 01:53:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Number five Maryland bergeron twenty four year old Marilyn Berjon

1931
01:53:18.800 --> 01:53:21.479
<v Speaker 1>was once a happy and positive young woman, but in

1932
01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:24.600
<v Speaker 1>late two thousand and seven, her family noticed a troubling

1933
01:53:24.680 --> 01:53:27.520
<v Speaker 1>change in her. Her outlook had changed for a positive

1934
01:53:27.560 --> 01:53:29.880
<v Speaker 1>one to a gloomy one, and it was clear that

1935
01:53:29.920 --> 01:53:33.359
<v Speaker 1>something was bothering her. She was often tearful and told

1936
01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:36.439
<v Speaker 1>her mother that she didn't have healthy relationships, but did

1937
01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:40.960
<v Speaker 1>not disclose exactly who the problem was. Early two thousand

1938
01:53:41.000 --> 01:53:44.159
<v Speaker 1>and eight, Marylyn had moved from her apartment in Hoschelega

1939
01:53:44.359 --> 01:53:48.399
<v Speaker 1>mess Oneux back to her parents' house in Quebec, telling

1940
01:53:48.439 --> 01:53:50.760
<v Speaker 1>them that she no longer felt safe living where she

1941
01:53:50.840 --> 01:53:54.920
<v Speaker 1>had been. The neighborhood in which Maryland lived was notorious

1942
01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:58.399
<v Speaker 1>for criminal activity was described as an impoverished area with

1943
01:53:58.479 --> 01:54:01.800
<v Speaker 1>many issues. She'd moved there in two thousand and five

1944
01:54:01.840 --> 01:54:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and had taken up freelance work with local TV stations

1945
01:54:05.199 --> 01:54:08.239
<v Speaker 1>and was slowly beginning to pull her career together. But

1946
01:54:08.800 --> 01:54:11.640
<v Speaker 1>something had changed in recent months, and the events of

1947
01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:14.039
<v Speaker 1>February two thousand and eight would send her family on

1948
01:54:14.079 --> 01:54:19.239
<v Speaker 1>a hunt for justice and answers. Between February fifteenth and sixteenth,

1949
01:54:19.680 --> 01:54:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Marylynd made trips between the two places moving her things

1950
01:54:22.880 --> 01:54:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and saying goodbye to her friends. Everyone tried to talk

1951
01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:28.039
<v Speaker 1>to Maryland, pleading with her to let them know what

1952
01:54:28.199 --> 01:54:32.159
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. Her family later told investigators that any attempt

1953
01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to talk to Maryland about her problems would result in

1954
01:54:34.800 --> 01:54:38.920
<v Speaker 1>her breaking down and shutting down the conversation. Should even

1955
01:54:38.960 --> 01:54:41.680
<v Speaker 1>cryptically ask her sister, is there a light at the

1956
01:54:41.760 --> 01:54:45.399
<v Speaker 1>end of the tunnel. During the move, her family tried

1957
01:54:45.439 --> 01:54:48.199
<v Speaker 1>to coax more information out of her, but each time

1958
01:54:48.399 --> 01:54:51.760
<v Speaker 1>she shut them down, showing a blank expression or simply

1959
01:54:51.800 --> 01:54:55.000
<v Speaker 1>breaking down in tears. It was at this point that

1960
01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:57.640
<v Speaker 1>her family referred her to a psychologist and hoped that

1961
01:54:57.680 --> 01:54:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the move back home would provide her with a safe,

1962
01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:02.920
<v Speaker 1>comfortable place to recover and explore her issues with a

1963
01:55:02.960 --> 01:55:07.359
<v Speaker 1>medical professional. According to the psychologist that saw Marylyn, her

1964
01:55:07.439 --> 01:55:13.479
<v Speaker 1>case was big and would require hospitalization. Unfortunately, Maryland disappeared

1965
01:55:13.560 --> 01:55:17.199
<v Speaker 1>before any further help or intervention could be offered. Her

1966
01:55:17.239 --> 01:55:20.279
<v Speaker 1>family were incredibly worried for her well being and ask

1967
01:55:20.359 --> 01:55:22.319
<v Speaker 1>her if someone had heard her, or whether she had

1968
01:55:22.359 --> 01:55:26.720
<v Speaker 1>problems with her relationship, debt, et cetera. But each time

1969
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn said, oh, everything's fine. On February seventeenth, two thousand

1970
01:55:31.840 --> 01:55:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and eight, Marilyn had moved all of her things back

1971
01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>into the family home and was resettling herself in a

1972
01:55:37.000 --> 01:55:40.279
<v Speaker 1>familiar environment. She told her family that she wanted to

1973
01:55:40.359 --> 01:55:43.239
<v Speaker 1>leave her life in Montreal behind for good, and her

1974
01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:45.199
<v Speaker 1>family said that they would help her along the way.

1975
01:55:46.600 --> 01:55:50.079
<v Speaker 1>At around eleven am on February seventeenth, two thousand and eight,

1976
01:55:50.680 --> 01:55:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn left the family home for what unfortunately it would

1977
01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:56.560
<v Speaker 1>be the last time. She told her mother that she

1978
01:55:56.640 --> 01:55:58.279
<v Speaker 1>was going for a walk and that she would be

1979
01:55:58.319 --> 01:56:01.000
<v Speaker 1>back soon. She said, up out of the house, wearing

1980
01:56:01.039 --> 01:56:03.399
<v Speaker 1>only a long black coat with gray fake for a

1981
01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:07.359
<v Speaker 1>trim and boots and headed off on her walk. The

1982
01:56:07.399 --> 01:56:10.199
<v Speaker 1>next time that Marilyn would be spotted was on CCTV,

1983
01:56:10.880 --> 01:56:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and she had an unusual item with her. At eleven

1984
01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:18.720
<v Speaker 1>nine am, Marylyn was seen on CCTV at an ATM

1985
01:56:18.880 --> 01:56:22.199
<v Speaker 1>on Boulevard de lo Mire attempting to withdraw a sixty

1986
01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:26.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars Canadian but the transaction failed. Her family believes that

1987
01:56:26.960 --> 01:56:30.199
<v Speaker 1>she had simply forgotten her pen number, but her behavior

1988
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:34.119
<v Speaker 1>while the cash machine raised several alarms. The card that

1989
01:56:34.159 --> 01:56:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn attempted to use was a credit card that was

1990
01:56:36.479 --> 01:56:38.279
<v Speaker 1>linked to her father that she had been given in

1991
01:56:38.359 --> 01:56:42.399
<v Speaker 1>case of emergency. In the footage, Marilyn is seen looking

1992
01:56:42.399 --> 01:56:47.279
<v Speaker 1>over her shoulder several times and appears very paranoid. Marilyn's

1993
01:56:47.319 --> 01:56:49.840
<v Speaker 1>mother also noticed that she was wearing a black backpack

1994
01:56:49.880 --> 01:56:52.840
<v Speaker 1>over one shoulder, an item that she had not had

1995
01:56:52.840 --> 01:56:56.039
<v Speaker 1>with her when she left the house. So where had

1996
01:56:56.079 --> 01:57:00.199
<v Speaker 1>she gotten this strange backpack and what were her plans?

1997
01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Things only grow more mysterious with the next confirmed sighting

1998
01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of Maryland, which occurred at four oh three pm in

1999
01:57:06.399 --> 01:57:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the cafe depot at Saint Romald. Now going to a

2000
01:57:10.520 --> 01:57:13.439
<v Speaker 1>coffee shop as an out of the ordinary activity, but

2001
01:57:13.479 --> 01:57:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that this coffee shop was over twelve miles

2002
01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:17.199
<v Speaker 1>away from her home.

2003
01:57:17.439 --> 01:57:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Was rather suspicious.

2004
01:57:19.439 --> 01:57:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Why was Maryland in a coffee shop so far away

2005
01:57:21.880 --> 01:57:24.520
<v Speaker 1>from home when the neighborhoods around her had plenty of

2006
01:57:24.520 --> 01:57:28.439
<v Speaker 1>coffee shops she could have visited. The barista who served

2007
01:57:28.479 --> 01:57:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Maryland in this particular coffee shop was later questioned and

2008
01:57:32.399 --> 01:57:35.359
<v Speaker 1>confirmed that Maryland was alone and paid with a credit card,

2009
01:57:36.319 --> 01:57:39.199
<v Speaker 1>shordered her coffee, and then walked out of the coffee shop,

2010
01:57:39.560 --> 01:57:43.520
<v Speaker 1>never to be seen again. After this sighting, Marilyn has

2011
01:57:43.560 --> 01:57:47.039
<v Speaker 1>never been seen or heard from. There's been no activity

2012
01:57:47.079 --> 01:57:49.399
<v Speaker 1>on her phone or the card, and it's as if

2013
01:57:49.439 --> 01:57:50.920
<v Speaker 1>she simply dropped off the map.

2014
01:57:51.800 --> 01:57:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Investigators believed that.

2015
01:57:53.039 --> 01:57:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Maryland was driven to the coffee shop twelve miles away

2016
01:57:55.640 --> 01:57:58.199
<v Speaker 1>from her home, as the weather conditions would have made

2017
01:57:58.199 --> 01:58:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it near impossible for her to walk down or It

2018
01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:05.079
<v Speaker 1>is unknown whether the possibility of public transport has ever

2019
01:58:05.119 --> 01:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>been explored in this instance. When Maryland failed to return home,

2020
01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:11.880
<v Speaker 1>her family knew that something was very wrong and called

2021
01:58:11.880 --> 01:58:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the police straight away. After learning about Maryland's situation and

2022
01:58:15.880 --> 01:58:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances leading up to her disappearance, the search for

2023
01:58:18.800 --> 01:58:22.039
<v Speaker 1>her began immediately, with police scarying the area and combing

2024
01:58:22.039 --> 01:58:26.920
<v Speaker 1>through her bank records and CCTV footage. Unfortunately, the two

2025
01:58:27.079 --> 01:58:31.520
<v Speaker 1>CCTV sightings previously mentioned are the only confirmed sightings of Maryland.

2026
01:58:32.199 --> 01:58:33.279
<v Speaker 2>The police have put out.

2027
01:58:33.199 --> 01:58:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Numerous appeals for anyone who may have seen Maryland or

2028
01:58:35.880 --> 01:58:38.359
<v Speaker 1>may have given her a ride to police come forward.

2029
01:58:38.760 --> 01:58:43.279
<v Speaker 1>So far, nobody has. There have been several alleged sightings

2030
01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:48.319
<v Speaker 1>of Maryland, including sightings in Hawkesbury, Ontario. According to reports,

2031
01:58:48.399 --> 01:58:51.520
<v Speaker 1>people have seen a woman matching Maryland's description in Hawkesbury

2032
01:58:51.760 --> 01:58:54.680
<v Speaker 1>in the company of a man. The two were often

2033
01:58:54.720 --> 01:58:56.880
<v Speaker 1>known to move around the town, and those who saw

2034
01:58:57.039 --> 01:58:59.680
<v Speaker 1>said that she looked anxious and like she was possibly

2035
01:58:59.680 --> 01:59:05.159
<v Speaker 1>being captive. Unfortunately, none of these sightings have ever been substantiated,

2036
01:59:05.319 --> 01:59:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and despite numerous searches by both the police and Maryland's family,

2037
01:59:09.039 --> 01:59:13.039
<v Speaker 1>no sign of her has ever been found. Her family

2038
01:59:13.079 --> 01:59:15.319
<v Speaker 1>are of the opinion that she took her own life,

2039
01:59:15.560 --> 01:59:19.279
<v Speaker 1>but friends have alluded to something much much darker. In

2040
01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:22.560
<v Speaker 1>late two thousand and seven, Jonathan Gaudier, who knew Maryland

2041
01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:24.920
<v Speaker 1>from college, met up with her and noticed that her

2042
01:59:24.920 --> 01:59:28.960
<v Speaker 1>personality and behavior had completely changed. She was no longer

2043
01:59:29.079 --> 01:59:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the happy and lively Maryland that he once knew.

2044
01:59:32.560 --> 01:59:33.640
<v Speaker 2>The night that they met.

2045
01:59:33.520 --> 01:59:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Up and attended a party before heading back to Maryland's apartment,

2046
01:59:37.239 --> 01:59:40.239
<v Speaker 1>it was here that she broke down crying. Jonathan rushed

2047
01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:43.039
<v Speaker 1>her aside to comfort her. He tried to get more

2048
01:59:43.039 --> 01:59:46.199
<v Speaker 1>information from her and pressed the matter, asking whether she

2049
01:59:46.239 --> 01:59:49.479
<v Speaker 1>had witnessed something horrific or or if something horrific had

2050
01:59:49.479 --> 01:59:53.960
<v Speaker 1>happened to her. According to Jonathan, Marylyn told him no,

2051
01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it's worse, Joe. You can't even imagine what I went through. Sadly,

2052
02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:05.279
<v Speaker 1>she didn't elaborate any further. The investigation into Maryland's disappearance

2053
02:00:05.319 --> 02:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>has continued over the years, with her family initially posting

2054
02:00:08.199 --> 02:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a ten thousand dollars Canadian reward for information.

2055
02:00:11.560 --> 02:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>This amount has now.

2056
02:00:12.520 --> 02:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Grown to thirty thousand dollars Canadian. But we are still

2057
02:00:15.680 --> 02:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>no closer to finding out what happened to Maryland, her

2058
02:00:19.239 --> 02:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>mother told the CBC in twenty seventeen, Maryland, if you're

2059
02:00:23.520 --> 02:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>still alive for us, it's like yesterday you disappeared. We

2060
02:00:28.000 --> 02:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>love you, We're waiting for you with open arms, and

2061
02:00:31.520 --> 02:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>we miss you so much. Her family believed that Maryland's

2062
02:00:35.560 --> 02:00:38.319
<v Speaker 1>life was either in danger or that she perceived to

2063
02:00:38.359 --> 02:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>have been in danger in Montreal, and believes that her

2064
02:00:41.000 --> 02:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>friends and associates may hold the answers. Marilyn Bergron was

2065
02:00:45.880 --> 02:00:49.279
<v Speaker 1>last seen on February seventeenth, two thousand and eight, has

2066
02:00:49.359 --> 02:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>not been seen or heard from since. Marylyn displayed worrying

2067
02:00:53.199 --> 02:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>behavior in the lead up to her disappearance, and there

2068
02:00:55.760 --> 02:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>have been several unconfirmed sightings of her in the Hawkesbury,

2069
02:00:58.560 --> 02:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Ontario area. Marilynd is described as a white female with

2070
02:01:02.600 --> 02:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>brown hair, green eyes, five foot seven and one hundred

2071
02:01:05.680 --> 02:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen pounds. She has a tattoo of Pegasus on

2072
02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>her chest blow her right collar bone, and she was

2073
02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:14.560

02:01:42.680 --> 02:01:50.119

2082
02:01:50.159 --> 02:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>fourteen year old Andrew Gosden is one of the UK's

2083
02:01:52.760 --> 02:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>most baffling miss in person cases. South Yorkshire Police have

2084
02:01:56.960 --> 02:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>worked tirelessly over the years to find Andrew, but they're

2085
02:02:00.119 --> 02:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>been very few leads to work on. Those from the

2086
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>UK will have many strong memories on Andrews's disappearance and

2087
02:02:07.840 --> 02:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the media storm and investigation that followed. It's been over

2088
02:02:11.880 --> 02:02:15.399
<v Speaker 1>a decades since Andrew disappeared and the South Yorkshire Police

2089
02:02:15.439 --> 02:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>are still no closer to cracking this mystifying case. Andrew

2090
02:02:19.880 --> 02:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Gosden lived in Baalby, Doncaster, South Yorkshire with his parents,

2091
02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Kevin and Glennis. The two provided Andrew with a happy

2092
02:02:27.319 --> 02:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and stable home life, and as a result, he was

2093
02:02:29.880 --> 02:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>flourishing academically. He was in the young Gifted and Talented

2094
02:02:33.920 --> 02:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>program at school and had a perfect attendance record. It

2095
02:02:37.640 --> 02:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>was clear that Andrew was destined for great things academically,

2096
02:02:41.119 --> 02:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and he excelled in every subject at school. With this,

2097
02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Andrew's father, Kevin, said that he was not street wise

2098
02:02:47.680 --> 02:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and preferred to stay home and play on his Xbox

2099
02:02:49.920 --> 02:02:51.119
<v Speaker 1>and listened to metal music.

2100
02:02:52.399 --> 02:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>This behavior is not.

2101
02:02:53.439 --> 02:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Uncommon for teenagers, and his parents were happy that he

2102
02:02:55.920 --> 02:02:59.279
<v Speaker 1>was flourishing academically and did have a small social circle

2103
02:02:59.319 --> 02:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>of friends, good dependable ones.

2104
02:03:02.279 --> 02:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>The lives of the Godsden.

2105
02:03:03.319 --> 02:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Family would be turned upside down one September afternoon, however,

2106
02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>shortly after the new.

2107
02:03:07.880 --> 02:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>School year had started.

2108
02:03:10.159 --> 02:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Andrew had spent part of his summer holiday, which was

2109
02:03:12.760 --> 02:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>six weeks, attending a Gifted and Talented program and was

2110
02:03:16.039 --> 02:03:18.399
<v Speaker 1>apparently very happy and had a bright outlook for what

2111
02:03:18.520 --> 02:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>lay ahead of him after he'd finished school. On September fourteenth,

2112
02:03:22.960 --> 02:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and seven, was different. Something inside, Andrew had

2113
02:03:26.920 --> 02:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>changed and within the space of a few hours, his

2114
02:03:30.079 --> 02:03:33.279
<v Speaker 1>parents would be thrown into missing person investigation that has

2115
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>spanned over a decade. On September fourteenth, two thousand and seven,

2116
02:03:38.520 --> 02:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Andrew got up and got ready for school as normal.

2117
02:03:41.239 --> 02:03:43.359
<v Speaker 1>He said goodbye to his parents and headed out the

2118
02:03:43.359 --> 02:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>front door at around eight oh five am. By all accounts,

2119
02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this was just another day at school. And Andrew was

2120
02:03:49.520 --> 02:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>seen heading toward the bus stop. However, instead of boarding

2121
02:03:53.600 --> 02:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the bus to school, Andrew kept walking and headed into

2122
02:03:56.800 --> 02:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the local park. Nobody knows why Andrew chose to skip

2123
02:04:00.560 --> 02:04:03.279
<v Speaker 1>school that day, but we do know that he waited

2124
02:04:03.279 --> 02:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in the park until around eight thirty am. By this time,

2125
02:04:07.039 --> 02:04:09.239
<v Speaker 1>his parents would have left for work, and Andrew knew that

2126
02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>he would have the house to himself. This is just

2127
02:04:12.399 --> 02:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the bizarre details surrounding the disappearance of

2128
02:04:15.760 --> 02:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Gosden, and things only become more mysterious from here.

2129
02:04:21.000 --> 02:04:24.479
<v Speaker 1>After waiting in the park, as we said, Andrew returned home,

2130
02:04:24.920 --> 02:04:27.319
<v Speaker 1>took off his school uniform and put it straight into

2131
02:04:27.359 --> 02:04:31.119
<v Speaker 1>the washing machine. He changed into a slipknot T shirt,

2132
02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:34.399
<v Speaker 1>dark jeans, and packed his bag with his keys, wallet,

2133
02:04:34.479 --> 02:04:38.199
<v Speaker 1>and his PSP gaming system. Andrew didn't take his PSP

2134
02:04:38.399 --> 02:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>charger with him, which indicated that he probably had every

2135
02:04:41.479 --> 02:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>intention of coming back, but unfortunately that is not what happened.

2136
02:04:46.399 --> 02:04:48.000
<v Speaker 2>As Glynnis and Kevin went about.

2137
02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Their work day, they had no idea that their son

2138
02:04:50.560 --> 02:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>was headed to Doncaster train station. Bank records confirmed that

2139
02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Andrew withdrew two hundred pounds from his account, leaving about

2140
02:04:57.920 --> 02:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>fourteen pounds in the balance. Andrew walked into Doncaster Train station,

2141
02:05:03.800 --> 02:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>went up to the ticket office and bought a one

2142
02:05:05.800 --> 02:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>way ticket to London.

2143
02:05:07.479 --> 02:05:08.239
<v Speaker 2>The woman who.

2144
02:05:08.039 --> 02:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Served Andrew recalled telling him that for just fifty p

2145
02:05:10.800 --> 02:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>extra he could get a return ticket, but Andrew declined.

2146
02:05:15.159 --> 02:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>He confidently stated that he wanted the one way ticket,

2147
02:05:18.119 --> 02:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>handed over the money, took the ticket and made his way.

2148
02:05:20.560 --> 02:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>To the platform.

2149
02:05:22.399 --> 02:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>No one knows why Andrew bought a ticket to London,

2150
02:05:24.800 --> 02:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>nor why I only bought a one way ticket. Was

2151
02:05:27.680 --> 02:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Andrew planning to meet with someone in London who had

2152
02:05:29.720 --> 02:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>promised to take him back home, or did he plan

2153
02:05:32.159 --> 02:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to stay in London indefinitely. Witnesses reported seeing Andrew boarding

2154
02:05:36.840 --> 02:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the nine thirty five am train to London King's Cross

2155
02:05:39.640 --> 02:05:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Station and by eleven to twenty five am he was

2156
02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>captured on CCTV leaving King's Cross. This is the last

2157
02:05:47.359 --> 02:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>confirmed sighting of Andrew, and over a decade later, we're

2158
02:05:50.840 --> 02:05:55.399
<v Speaker 1>still no closer to the truth. When Andrew's school noticed

2159
02:05:55.399 --> 02:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that he was absent that day, his parents were called. However,

2160
02:05:58.840 --> 02:06:00.439
<v Speaker 1>a clerical error was made and the.

2161
02:06:00.399 --> 02:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Wrong number was dialed.

2162
02:06:02.439 --> 02:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't until Glennison Kevin arrived home from work to

2163
02:06:04.920 --> 02:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>find Andrew's uniform in the house that they knew something

2164
02:06:08.039 --> 02:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was off. After calling out Andrew's name and searching all

2165
02:06:11.920 --> 02:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>over the house, his parents realized that he was missing

2166
02:06:14.720 --> 02:06:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and dialed nine ninety nine. South Yorkshire Police responded to

2167
02:06:18.479 --> 02:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the call immediately and the search for Andrew commenced.

2168
02:06:22.359 --> 02:06:23.479
<v Speaker 2>The area of Bobby was.

2169
02:06:23.399 --> 02:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Searched thoroughly and investigators began coming through Andrews's life. At

2170
02:06:27.800 --> 02:06:30.119
<v Speaker 1>the time of his disappearance, Andrew didn't have a phone,

2171
02:06:30.159 --> 02:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>as he was known to lose him and preferred to

2172
02:06:32.159 --> 02:06:36.319
<v Speaker 1>spend time on his xbox and listening to music. Anyway, Fliers,

2173
02:06:36.439 --> 02:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>posters and news reports were circulated around South Yorkshire and Yorkshire,

2174
02:06:40.640 --> 02:06:43.199
<v Speaker 1>with the South Yorkshire Police hoping that somebody would come

2175
02:06:43.239 --> 02:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>forward with information. As the days passed and there was

2176
02:06:47.600 --> 02:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>no word, the Gostins began to realize that the situation

2177
02:06:51.000 --> 02:06:55.239
<v Speaker 1>that they were in was incredibly serious. Then, days after

2178
02:06:55.279 --> 02:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Andrew disappeared, the South Yorkshire Police got their first lead.

2179
02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Woman who sold Andrew the ticket at Doncaster train station

2180
02:07:02.800 --> 02:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>came forward and from here the police were able to

2181
02:07:05.600 --> 02:07:11.199
<v Speaker 1>check CCTV and confirmed that Andrew had traveled to King's Cross. Sadly,

2182
02:07:11.720 --> 02:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Andrew was not spotted on CCTV after he left King's

2183
02:07:14.840 --> 02:07:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Cross station and CCTV in the surrounding areas failed to

2184
02:07:18.319 --> 02:07:22.359
<v Speaker 1>show up anything. Now there are three main theories in

2185
02:07:22.359 --> 02:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Andrew's case, with the first thing that he was lured

2186
02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>away by someone online. As we said, Andrew had an

2187
02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Xbox and a PSP, but forensic analysis of these and

2188
02:07:32.399 --> 02:07:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the data showed that Andrew was not registered online with

2189
02:07:35.359 --> 02:07:39.239
<v Speaker 1>an account. He reportedly didn't even use the family computer

2190
02:07:39.680 --> 02:07:43.359
<v Speaker 1>and didn't really touch online communications at all. This was

2191
02:07:43.399 --> 02:07:46.439
<v Speaker 1>backed up by digital forensic investigations that failed to turn

2192
02:07:46.520 --> 02:07:51.279
<v Speaker 1>up any online presence from Andrew whatsoever. His family did

2193
02:07:51.319 --> 02:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>confirmed investigators that Andrew knew several people who lived in London,

2194
02:07:54.960 --> 02:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>but none of these people have reported seeing Andrew on

2195
02:07:57.720 --> 02:08:02.399
<v Speaker 1>the date of or after his disappearance. The next theory

2196
02:08:02.479 --> 02:08:05.239
<v Speaker 1>that was well publicized in the British media was that

2197
02:08:05.279 --> 02:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Andrew had possibly gone to London to attend a gig

2198
02:08:07.840 --> 02:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>or some sort of music related event.

2199
02:08:10.439 --> 02:08:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Andrew loved his.

2200
02:08:11.399 --> 02:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Metal music, and a few gigs were going on around

2201
02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that time. But if that were the case, then why

2202
02:08:16.640 --> 02:08:19.119
<v Speaker 1>would he buy a one way ticket. There were no

2203
02:08:19.199 --> 02:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>sightings of Andrew at any of these music events, and

2204
02:08:21.800 --> 02:08:23.960
<v Speaker 1>there has been no proof to suggest that Andrew had

2205
02:08:24.000 --> 02:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>tickets for any of these events either. The last theory

2206
02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>is one that Andrew's father, Kevin, came up with. Kevin

2207
02:08:31.760 --> 02:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>postulated that perhaps Andrew left to start a new life

2208
02:08:34.399 --> 02:08:39.399
<v Speaker 1>somewhere without the intervention of his family. His family were religious,

2209
02:08:39.479 --> 02:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but also said that they were open to sexuality and

2210
02:08:42.159 --> 02:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>gender expression. This theory ties into an interesting clue that

2211
02:08:46.079 --> 02:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>came to light in twenty eighteen.

2212
02:08:48.439 --> 02:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>It's important to preface this.

2213
02:08:49.920 --> 02:08:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Next section by saying that Andrew's nickname was Rue, and

2214
02:08:53.279 --> 02:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>it was a nickname that only those closest to him

2215
02:08:55.600 --> 02:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>knew and called him. According to reports, an anonymous witness

2216
02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:02.479
<v Speaker 1>told the police that in twenty eighteen, he had a

2217
02:09:02.520 --> 02:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>conversation with someone online by the name of Andy Roo.

2218
02:09:06.720 --> 02:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>The two people have started talking and Andy Roo asked

2219
02:09:09.640 --> 02:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>the knout of witness for two hundred pounds so that

2220
02:09:12.079 --> 02:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>he could.

2221
02:09:12.319 --> 02:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Pay his rent.

2222
02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:16.399
<v Speaker 1>This Andy Roox person went on to explain that he'd

2223
02:09:16.439 --> 02:09:19.119
<v Speaker 1>left home at fourteen and didn't have a bank account,

2224
02:09:19.359 --> 02:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>so sending money via bank transfer.

2225
02:09:21.560 --> 02:09:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Would be difficult.

2226
02:09:23.399 --> 02:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>He said that he needed the money because his boyfriend

2227
02:09:25.720 --> 02:09:28.079
<v Speaker 1>had left him, but never went into further detail about

2228
02:09:28.119 --> 02:09:32.039
<v Speaker 1>his private life. This lead gave the Metropolitan Police and

2229
02:09:32.079 --> 02:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the South Yorkshire Police a glimmer of hope, but it

2230
02:09:34.760 --> 02:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>appears the person calling themselves Andy Roo has never been

2231
02:09:38.000 --> 02:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>formally identified and we cannot confirm whether it or not

2232
02:09:41.800 --> 02:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>this person is Andrew Gosden. Following Andrew's disappearance, his family

2233
02:09:47.239 --> 02:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>traveled to London to hand out flyers and to peal

2234
02:09:49.760 --> 02:09:54.119
<v Speaker 1>to witnesses and anyone with information to come forward. Kevin

2235
02:09:54.159 --> 02:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and Glynnis have been the driving force behind keeping Andrew's

2236
02:09:57.000 --> 02:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>name in the media, and they've continued to put pressure

2237
02:09:59.479 --> 02:10:02.479
<v Speaker 1>on the South Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police to

2238
02:10:02.560 --> 02:10:07.319
<v Speaker 1>investigate his disappearance. This case has been incredibly well publicized

2239
02:10:07.359 --> 02:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and in towns and cities across the UK. Andrew's missing

2240
02:10:10.640 --> 02:10:15.119
<v Speaker 1>person poster can still be seen. The charity UK Missing

2241
02:10:15.119 --> 02:10:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Persons works with the families of those who are missing

2242
02:10:17.399 --> 02:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to create posters, and they also run a tip line

2243
02:10:19.920 --> 02:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>for those of information or for those who are missing

2244
02:10:22.760 --> 02:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>and need someone to talk to. Despite all of this

2245
02:10:26.640 --> 02:10:30.359
<v Speaker 1>media attention and investigation, no trace of Andrew has ever

2246
02:10:30.399 --> 02:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>been located. After he left King's Cross Station, he seemingly

2247
02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>vanished into thin air, and the investigation has laid dormant

2248
02:10:37.840 --> 02:10:43.119
<v Speaker 1>ever since. Well that was until January twenty two, when

2249
02:10:43.199 --> 02:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>once again the Andrew Gosden case made headlines. On January eleventh,

2250
02:10:48.119 --> 02:10:52.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, the BBC published an article titled Andrew

2251
02:10:52.239 --> 02:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Gosden two men arrested for trafficking and kidnapped. This headline

2252
02:10:56.960 --> 02:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>shocked the nation and the details of the arrest would

2253
02:10:59.319 --> 02:11:04.359
<v Speaker 1>shock them even more. According to the BBC, two men

2254
02:11:04.560 --> 02:11:07.479
<v Speaker 1>aged thirty eight and forty five were arrested in December

2255
02:11:07.520 --> 02:11:10.319
<v Speaker 1>in London on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking.

2256
02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:12.279
<v Speaker 2>The forty five.

2257
02:11:12.199 --> 02:11:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Year old man was also arrested on suspicion of possessing

2258
02:11:15.079 --> 02:11:19.119
<v Speaker 1>indecent images. The two men were released on bail penning

2259
02:11:19.119 --> 02:11:22.359
<v Speaker 1>a further investigation, and the Metropolitan Police and the South

2260
02:11:22.479 --> 02:11:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Yorkshire Police are currently working the case. No further details

2261
02:11:26.479 --> 02:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>have been released in regards to these charges and the

2262
02:11:28.760 --> 02:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>police are keeping their cards very close to their chests.

2263
02:11:32.840 --> 02:11:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Throughout the years.

2264
02:11:33.840 --> 02:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Several age profession photos have been issued to show what

2265
02:11:36.560 --> 02:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Andrew may look like now as an adult. The River

2266
02:11:39.720 --> 02:11:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Thames has been searched numerous times by divers and with

2267
02:11:42.600 --> 02:11:45.279
<v Speaker 1>a sonar scanner, but this has not turned up any

2268
02:11:45.359 --> 02:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>leads either.

2269
02:11:47.000 --> 02:11:48.319
<v Speaker 2>The South Yorkshire.

2270
02:11:47.880 --> 02:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Police and the Metropolitan Police, along with Andrew's family, continue

2271
02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to search for him and hope that one day they

2272
02:11:54.039 --> 02:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>will have answers or at least closure. Andrew Gosden was

2273
02:11:58.640 --> 02:12:01.680
<v Speaker 1>last seen wearing a slipknot to T shirt, dark jeans

2274
02:12:02.079 --> 02:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and was carrying a bag containing his keys, wallet and

2275
02:12:04.640 --> 02:12:08.239
<v Speaker 1>PSP gaming system. It bought a one way ticket from

2276
02:12:08.239 --> 02:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Doncaster to King's Cross, London and was last seen leaving

2277
02:12:11.920 --> 02:12:16.079
<v Speaker 1>King's Cross station at eleven twenty five am on September fourteenth,

2278
02:12:16.119 --> 02:12:17.119
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and seven.

2279
02:12:17.920 --> 02:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And who has.

2280
02:12:18.520 --> 02:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Brown hair, has a unique double ridge on his right ear,

2281
02:12:22.359 --> 02:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is deaf in his left ear and wears strong prescription glasses.

2282
02:12:26.399 --> 02:12:29.680

2290
02:12:58.319 --> 02:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Ben Padilla. The disappearance of Ben Padia is a confusing

2291
02:13:02.479 --> 02:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and complex case and it requires a bit of background

2292
02:13:05.720 --> 02:13:10.119
<v Speaker 1>information to press his disappearance. In two thousand and two,

2293
02:13:10.359 --> 02:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>American Airlines retired of Boeing seven twenty seven DASH two

2294
02:13:13.640 --> 02:13:17.399
<v Speaker 1>two three with the registration N eight or four AA,

2295
02:13:18.039 --> 02:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and this plane was purchased by Marie Joseph, who owned

2296
02:13:21.000 --> 02:13:22.479
<v Speaker 1>an aerospace company in Florida.

2297
02:13:23.880 --> 02:13:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Different sources give different.

2298
02:13:25.319 --> 02:13:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Stories, but the main gist of the situation is that

2299
02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a businessman came in least the plane located in Angola

2300
02:13:31.880 --> 02:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>from Mariy, only to default on his payments or abandon

2301
02:13:35.520 --> 02:13:39.239
<v Speaker 1>the plans that he had for the plane. Apparently, this

2302
02:13:39.319 --> 02:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>businessman wanted to use the plane to transport oil to

2303
02:13:42.000 --> 02:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>diamond mines across Angola, and this same businessman and Marie

2304
02:13:46.000 --> 02:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Joseph had come to a payment agreement that never came

2305
02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:52.119
<v Speaker 1>to fruition. This meant that the plane went back into

2306
02:13:52.119 --> 02:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>storage and racked up over four million dollars in airport fees.

2307
02:13:57.239 --> 02:14:00.359
<v Speaker 2>The plane, with number N eight or four AA, was.

2308
02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Then back in the hands of Maury Joseph, who brought

2309
02:14:02.880 --> 02:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben Padia on board. Ben was a certified aircraft mechanic,

2310
02:14:07.079 --> 02:14:10.319
<v Speaker 1>flight engineer and pilot, and he was perfect for the job.

2311
02:14:11.319 --> 02:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>The N eight four AA was twenty five years old

2312
02:14:14.520 --> 02:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and it needed repair work done to it before was

2313
02:14:16.720 --> 02:14:20.439
<v Speaker 1>suitable for use. So Ben got to work fixing up

2314
02:14:20.439 --> 02:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the plane and all was going well. That was until

2315
02:14:23.840 --> 02:14:27.039
<v Speaker 1>May twenty fifth, two thousand and three, when something truly

2316
02:14:27.159 --> 02:14:31.319
<v Speaker 1>bizarre happened. On this day, the plane was due to

2317
02:14:31.359 --> 02:14:34.199
<v Speaker 1>fly from Angola to Germany, but as the crew arrived

2318
02:14:34.199 --> 02:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>at the airport for their flight, they noticed that the

2319
02:14:36.720 --> 02:14:40.319
<v Speaker 1>plane had gone Everyone checked their watches to ensure that

2320
02:14:40.359 --> 02:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>they had not made a mistake, but the events that

2321
02:14:42.720 --> 02:14:46.439
<v Speaker 1>would follow would only confuse them further. Shortly after the

2322
02:14:46.479 --> 02:14:50.359
<v Speaker 1>crew arrived, air traffic control noticed Boing seven two seven

2323
02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:55.479
<v Speaker 1>N eight or four AA taxing erratically on the runway.

2324
02:14:55.680 --> 02:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Several attempts were made by air traffic control to establish contact,

2325
02:14:59.319 --> 02:15:03.039
<v Speaker 1>however no no one responded. All air traffic could do

2326
02:15:03.199 --> 02:15:05.039
<v Speaker 1>was watch on as the boying took off.

2327
02:15:04.840 --> 02:15:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Into the skies.

2328
02:15:06.680 --> 02:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>The only two men on board were Benfidia and a

2329
02:15:09.800 --> 02:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>man named John Michael Mutantsu, who had been working alongside

2330
02:15:13.560 --> 02:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben as an aircraft technician. The plane had not been

2331
02:15:17.800 --> 02:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>cleared for takeoff at that time, and it also not

2332
02:15:20.640 --> 02:15:23.479
<v Speaker 1>submitted a flight plan, which immediately caught the attention of

2333
02:15:23.520 --> 02:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>air traffic control. Several more attempts were made to establish contact,

2334
02:15:28.560 --> 02:15:31.279
<v Speaker 1>but as the plane soared higher into the sky, their

2335
02:15:31.279 --> 02:15:35.479
<v Speaker 1>attempts proved feudle. Now, as the plane was being used

2336
02:15:35.479 --> 02:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>for private business, the seats had been ripped out and

2337
02:15:37.880 --> 02:15:41.439
<v Speaker 1>it was made to carry diesel fuel regardless of who

2338
02:15:41.560 --> 02:15:44.359
<v Speaker 1>or what was on board. Air Traffic Control was on

2339
02:15:44.479 --> 02:15:47.159
<v Speaker 1>red alert, and soon the word of the rogue plane

2340
02:15:47.199 --> 02:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>had spread. This incident just two years shy of nine

2341
02:15:50.800 --> 02:15:51.239
<v Speaker 1>to eleven.

2342
02:15:51.439 --> 02:15:53.399
<v Speaker 2>It's in a wave of a panic through Angola.

2343
02:15:54.479 --> 02:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Officials tried desperately to track the plane but found nothing.

2344
02:15:59.159 --> 02:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>The plane had been pueled up with over fourteen thousand

2345
02:16:01.960 --> 02:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>gallons of jet fuel which had only taken the plane

2346
02:16:04.640 --> 02:16:08.359
<v Speaker 1>about twenty four hundred miles. Well, as you know, what

2347
02:16:08.520 --> 02:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>goes up must come down. But as the days dragged on,

2348
02:16:11.720 --> 02:16:14.199
<v Speaker 1>there were no reports of a boring seven twenty seven

2349
02:16:14.319 --> 02:16:17.479
<v Speaker 1>with ID number N eight four four AA landing at

2350
02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>any airport, nor were there any reports of a crash.

2351
02:16:22.279 --> 02:16:25.359
<v Speaker 1>The plane had seemingly taken off and vanished into thin air,

2352
02:16:26.159 --> 02:16:30.039
<v Speaker 1>almost if it had flown right into a portal. According

2353
02:16:30.039 --> 02:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to reports, the plane, with its lights off and its

2354
02:16:32.639 --> 02:16:36.639
<v Speaker 1>transponder not transmitting N eight four four AA, took off

2355
02:16:36.680 --> 02:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>over the southwest and had it out over the Atlantic Ocean.

2356
02:16:40.600 --> 02:16:43.559
<v Speaker 1>So where did ben Padilla go and what happened to

2357
02:16:43.600 --> 02:16:46.639
<v Speaker 1>the seven to twenty seven that seemingly disappeared into thin air.

2358
02:16:48.200 --> 02:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>One theory is that the mysterious disappearance is down to

2359
02:16:51.200 --> 02:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>insurance fraud. As previously mentioned, the plane was due to

2360
02:16:54.920 --> 02:16:58.159
<v Speaker 1>be leased by someone. However, the deal fell through and

2361
02:16:58.200 --> 02:17:01.079
<v Speaker 1>the plane ended up procuring means of dollars in fees

2362
02:17:01.440 --> 02:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the time it was stored at the airport in Angola.

2363
02:17:04.920 --> 02:17:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Some people are of the opinion that Mary Joseph and

2364
02:17:07.399 --> 02:17:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Ben Padia planned the plane's disappearance in order to claim

2365
02:17:10.760 --> 02:17:15.040
<v Speaker 1>insurance to help pay those fees. Another theory is perhaps

2366
02:17:15.040 --> 02:17:16.799
<v Speaker 1>the two men were on the plane at the wrong

2367
02:17:16.879 --> 02:17:19.239
<v Speaker 1>time and they were forced to fly the plane to

2368
02:17:19.280 --> 02:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>wherever the hijacker demanded. The FBI, NSSA, and the CIA

2369
02:17:24.360 --> 02:17:26.639
<v Speaker 1>became involved in the search for Ben and the missing

2370
02:17:26.680 --> 02:17:30.760

2371
02:17:30.840 --> 02:17:35.120
<v Speaker 1>so far nothing has ever been discovered or recovered. When

2372
02:17:35.159 --> 02:17:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Ben first took the job, his brother recalled having a conversation.

2373
02:17:38.959 --> 02:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>With him about hijacking. Ben told his brother.

2374
02:17:42.120 --> 02:17:44.319
<v Speaker 1>That he would rather crash the plane than comply with

2375
02:17:44.399 --> 02:17:47.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone's demands, and wondered whether Ben was harmed or was

2376
02:17:47.879 --> 02:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>being held.

2377
02:17:48.360 --> 02:17:49.639

2390
02:18:40.200 --> 02:18:43.719
<v Speaker 1>will mark the twenty sixth anniversary the disappearance of fifteen

2391
02:18:43.760 --> 02:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>year old Melanie Nadia Etia from her home in Nulis Garden, Ontario.

2392
02:18:50.559 --> 02:18:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Born on Christmas Day in nineteen eighty, Melanie was a

2393
02:18:53.680 --> 02:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>great joy in her mother's life and to all those

2394
02:18:56.239 --> 02:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>who knew her. Melny, her five year old sister Jesse,

2395
02:18:59.760 --> 02:19:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and her mother, Celine had lived in the Newless courtA

2396
02:19:02.600 --> 02:19:05.799
<v Speaker 1>area for almost nine years, and those in the community

2397
02:19:05.879 --> 02:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>knew Melanie well. Melanie was known for her vibrant personality

2398
02:19:10.239 --> 02:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that she was an honor student at

2399
02:19:12.600 --> 02:19:16.879
<v Speaker 1>the Echols Secondary Catholic School. Melanie had dreams of becoming

2400
02:19:16.879 --> 02:19:19.959
<v Speaker 1>a teacher after she graduated from high school, and in

2401
02:19:20.000 --> 02:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>between completing homework, Melie worked at a daycare that was

2402
02:19:23.639 --> 02:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>attached to her school. This job provided Melanie with some

2403
02:19:27.399 --> 02:19:30.079
<v Speaker 1>independence and gave her valuable skills to take into her

2404
02:19:30.159 --> 02:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>future teaching career. Unfortunately, this bright and promising young woman

2405
02:19:35.559 --> 02:19:37.719
<v Speaker 1>was taken and never got to live out her dream

2406
02:19:37.760 --> 02:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>of being a teacher. September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six

2407
02:19:42.040 --> 02:19:44.159
<v Speaker 1>was the day that the lives of the Fa family

2408
02:19:44.239 --> 02:19:49.079
<v Speaker 1>would change forever. On that morning, Melanie headed towards the

2409
02:19:49.120 --> 02:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>local library after visiting a family friend and bumped into

2410
02:19:52.399 --> 02:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>one of her friends. The two girls decided to spend

2411
02:19:55.799 --> 02:19:58.239
<v Speaker 1>the day together and they went into the city to

2412
02:19:58.280 --> 02:19:59.799
<v Speaker 1>do a bit of shopping and relax.

2413
02:20:00.760 --> 02:20:01.520
<v Speaker 2>According to this.

2414
02:20:01.600 --> 02:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Friend, Melany bought a cake tin and cake making supplies,

2415
02:20:05.120 --> 02:20:07.479
<v Speaker 1>but she could make a birthday cake for her grandmother.

2416
02:20:08.159 --> 02:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Belley seemed excited about the trip, and the two girls

2417
02:20:11.200 --> 02:20:15.719
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed themselves. As the day wore on, the girls made

2418
02:20:15.719 --> 02:20:19.200
<v Speaker 1>plans to meet up with Melanye's boyfriend, Neil Fourtier, and

2419
02:20:19.280 --> 02:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>three other friends, Dave Bromley, Jay Denall, and Ryan Chatwin.

2420
02:20:24.799 --> 02:20:27.120
<v Speaker 1>The group of teenagers hung out and planned what they

2421
02:20:27.159 --> 02:20:29.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do together for the rest of the day

2422
02:20:29.120 --> 02:20:33.879
<v Speaker 1>and evening. September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six was a Saturday,

2423
02:20:34.559 --> 02:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>so the youngsters wanted to make the most of not

2424
02:20:36.600 --> 02:20:39.200
<v Speaker 1>having to go to bed early, so the group had

2425
02:20:39.319 --> 02:20:41.719
<v Speaker 1>to a video store and rented a copy of The

2426
02:20:41.719 --> 02:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>film's sudden death. The original plan was to head to

2427
02:20:44.879 --> 02:20:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Melny's house. Howevers, Melanie's grandparents were staying over. The house

2428
02:20:48.559 --> 02:20:52.120
<v Speaker 1>was already a hub of activity, Melanie's room was a mess,

2429
02:20:52.319 --> 02:20:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and there was no place for.

2430
02:20:53.319 --> 02:20:54.879
<v Speaker 2>The teens to kick back and relax.

2431
02:20:56.040 --> 02:20:58.239
<v Speaker 1>This didn't bother them, though, and they merely decided to

2432
02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:01.840
<v Speaker 1>head to another home, settling on the home of Ryan

2433
02:21:01.920 --> 02:21:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Chatwin on Pine Avenue. After wandering around, calling in at

2434
02:21:06.479 --> 02:21:09.479
<v Speaker 1>their friends homes hoping to get a quiet room, the

2435
02:21:09.520 --> 02:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>teens were lieved to find that Ryan's parents were upstairs,

2436
02:21:12.719 --> 02:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>leaving them with free reign of the house.

2437
02:21:15.479 --> 02:21:16.159
<v Speaker 2>They settled in.

2438
02:21:16.159 --> 02:21:18.319
<v Speaker 1>To watch the film man, just to chat and enjoy

2439
02:21:18.399 --> 02:21:22.239
<v Speaker 1>each other's company. The hours ticked by, and slowly, one

2440
02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>by one, the teens left and headed home. Melanie was

2441
02:21:26.120 --> 02:21:29.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the last to leave Ryan Chatwin's house, unaware

2442
02:21:29.000 --> 02:21:32.799
<v Speaker 1>of what her best friend had just encountered outside. That

2443
02:21:32.959 --> 02:21:35.639
<v Speaker 1>best friend would later tell investigators that when she left

2444
02:21:35.680 --> 02:21:38.959
<v Speaker 1>Ryan's house at twelve thirty am, she saw a light

2445
02:21:39.040 --> 02:21:42.799
<v Speaker 1>covered Chevrolet at Monte Carlo or a similar car crawling

2446
02:21:42.840 --> 02:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>slowly down the street. The driver of the car paid

2447
02:21:45.959 --> 02:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>special attention to her as she walked to a place

2448
02:21:48.120 --> 02:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>where she's being picked up, and she said that the

2449
02:21:50.760 --> 02:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>driver scared her so much as she took off running.

2450
02:21:54.719 --> 02:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Between one point thirty and two am, Melanie left Ryan's

2451
02:21:58.280 --> 02:22:00.399
<v Speaker 1>house and news would be the last time she was

2452
02:22:00.440 --> 02:22:03.920
<v Speaker 1>ever seen or heard from. Those left over at Ryan's

2453
02:22:03.959 --> 02:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>house watched as Melanie walk down Pine Avenue and into

2454
02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the darkness. Her home was only about a half mile away,

2455
02:22:11.440 --> 02:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunately, Melanie never completed the journey. Her disappearance wasn't

2456
02:22:16.639 --> 02:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>noted until much later that morning, when the FAA household

2457
02:22:19.959 --> 02:22:23.639
<v Speaker 1>awoke to find no sign of Melanie. Selene, her mother,

2458
02:22:24.079 --> 02:22:26.879
<v Speaker 1>checked with Melaney's friends, hoping that she had stayed the

2459
02:22:26.959 --> 02:22:29.799
<v Speaker 1>night and just forgotten a call, but her heart sank

2460
02:22:29.840 --> 02:22:32.799
<v Speaker 1>when her friend said that she wasn't there and had left.

2461
02:22:32.600 --> 02:22:34.280
<v Speaker 2>About two am.

2462
02:22:35.000 --> 02:22:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Selene rushed to the daycare where Melanie worked, and she

2463
02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there either, and that was the moment she knew

2464
02:22:40.760 --> 02:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>it was serious. She picked up the phone and called

2465
02:22:43.920 --> 02:22:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the police. The new List Card Police, along with the

2466
02:22:48.360 --> 02:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Ontario Provincial Police, began their search for Melnie and began

2467
02:22:51.760 --> 02:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>knocking on doors of homes and businesses in the community.

2468
02:22:55.600 --> 02:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Beldi's personal life was looked at, and those were with

2469
02:22:58.000 --> 02:23:02.440
<v Speaker 1>her on the night she disappeared were also Investigators were

2470
02:23:02.600 --> 02:23:05.399
<v Speaker 1>very interested in the account given by Melanie's best friend

2471
02:23:05.920 --> 02:23:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and believe that Melie may have either been targeted or

2472
02:23:08.600 --> 02:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>may have been mistakenly targeted, as her attackers may have

2473
02:23:11.920 --> 02:23:12.440
<v Speaker 1>believe she.

2474
02:23:12.440 --> 02:23:13.239
<v Speaker 2>Was someone else.

2475
02:23:14.600 --> 02:23:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Helicopters, sent dogs and search and rescue personnel go through

2476
02:23:18.319 --> 02:23:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Nuless card looking for any sign of Melanie, but nothing

2477
02:23:22.000 --> 02:23:25.239
<v Speaker 1>could be found. It was if she had simply vanished.

2478
02:23:26.319 --> 02:23:29.079
<v Speaker 1>There were a few reports of a girl matching Melany's

2479
02:23:29.079 --> 02:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>description walking on the Armstrong Street bridge across the Wabi River.

2480
02:23:33.840 --> 02:23:36.440
<v Speaker 1>The Wabi River has been searched by dive teams, but

2481
02:23:36.559 --> 02:23:40.879
<v Speaker 1>nothing was ever found. Multiple searches were conducted, but so

2482
02:23:41.040 --> 02:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>far the police have yet to find any evidence of

2483
02:23:43.680 --> 02:23:47.200
<v Speaker 1>what happened to Melanie. Her mother, Celine, made a post

2484
02:23:47.239 --> 02:23:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to the Let's Work Together to find Melanie at the

2485
02:23:50.120 --> 02:23:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a Facebook group in November twenty twenty. Here's part of

2486
02:23:54.159 --> 02:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>that post. For many years, I felt that Melanie is

2487
02:23:58.680 --> 02:24:01.959
<v Speaker 1>no longer alive, and I know that finding the truth

2488
02:24:02.000 --> 02:24:05.959
<v Speaker 1>about her disappearance will not change that. I'm not driven

2489
02:24:06.040 --> 02:24:10.799
<v Speaker 1>by justice, anger or vengeance. I am a mother searching

2490
02:24:10.799 --> 02:24:13.479
<v Speaker 1>for a missing child so that I can give her

2491
02:24:13.559 --> 02:24:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the dignified memorials she deserves and enable my family to

2492
02:24:17.399 --> 02:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>finally grieve, find closure, and heal. You may not be

2493
02:24:22.159 --> 02:24:25.440
<v Speaker 1>able to bring Melanie back to life, but by providing

2494
02:24:25.479 --> 02:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the police with the information needed to bring back her body,

2495
02:24:29.000 --> 02:24:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you can help me and my family begin to rebuild ours.

2496
02:24:34.360 --> 02:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Also in the Facebook group, Selene and others have made

2497
02:24:36.920 --> 02:24:40.559
<v Speaker 1>numerous posts about Dennis Levier, who is a family friend.

2498
02:24:41.479 --> 02:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Three days after Melanie's disappearance, Dennis made a chilling statement

2499
02:24:45.079 --> 02:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to Selene's mother, who had been staying at the home

2500
02:24:47.440 --> 02:24:52.440
<v Speaker 1>for birthday celebrations. According to the grandmother, which is Selene's mother,

2501
02:24:52.920 --> 02:24:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Dennis came round to the house and was smoking a

2502
02:24:54.879 --> 02:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>cigarette in the basement, which is extremely out of character

2503
02:24:58.239 --> 02:25:02.079
<v Speaker 1>and something that Selene wouldn't have allowed. Then, as Dennis

2504
02:25:02.079 --> 02:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>smoked a cigarette, he chillingly told the grandmother that the

2505
02:25:05.840 --> 02:25:10.639
<v Speaker 1>person responsible had to have been very strong. As previously mentioned,

2506
02:25:10.920 --> 02:25:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Melny had taken self defense classes and she also loved

2507
02:25:13.920 --> 02:25:16.959
<v Speaker 1>vallet and other sports, so she was in good shape

2508
02:25:17.000 --> 02:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and strong for rage. That wasn't the only chilling thing

2509
02:25:20.639 --> 02:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that Dennis said though he rolled up his sleeves and

2510
02:25:23.799 --> 02:25:28.760
<v Speaker 1>showed the grandmother of fresh, deep nail marks on his arm.

2511
02:25:28.959 --> 02:25:32.319
<v Speaker 1>This discovery sent shows through the fa family, but Dennis

2512
02:25:32.319 --> 02:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>played it off and told Celine in the family that

2513
02:25:34.959 --> 02:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Melny had done that to him while they were playfighting

2514
02:25:37.959 --> 02:25:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in the days before she disappeared.

2515
02:25:40.879 --> 02:25:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Nobody in the Fta family believed.

2516
02:25:42.719 --> 02:25:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Dennis's version of events, and it later transpired that Dennis

2517
02:25:46.200 --> 02:25:49.079
<v Speaker 1>was known to try and inappropriately talk to and engage

2518
02:25:49.079 --> 02:25:53.120
<v Speaker 1>with miners. The scope of Melney's case deserves a video

2519
02:25:53.159 --> 02:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of its own, and many theories come up in this case. Unfortunately,

2520
02:25:58.280 --> 02:26:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Dennis passed away in twenty sixteen, taking any secrets he

2521
02:26:01.879 --> 02:26:04.959
<v Speaker 1>had with him to the grave. Many people have came

2522
02:26:05.040 --> 02:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>forward claiming that Dennis had admitted to them that he

2523
02:26:07.440 --> 02:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>had harmed Melney, but these claims could never be substantiated.

2524
02:26:12.440 --> 02:26:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Selene believes that Dennis is the most likely suspect in

2525
02:26:15.159 --> 02:26:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Melanie's disappearance, and while Dennis has now passed away, she

2526
02:26:19.319 --> 02:26:22.440
<v Speaker 1>believes that someone out there has the right information to

2527
02:26:22.479 --> 02:26:25.239
<v Speaker 1>bring the right person to justice for what they did

2528
02:26:25.280 --> 02:26:28.719
<v Speaker 1>to Melanie. There are many ins and outs in this case,

2529
02:26:28.799 --> 02:26:31.799
<v Speaker 1>and Selene has been the driving force behind keeping her

2530
02:26:31.879 --> 02:26:36.239
<v Speaker 1>daughter's name in the media. She's created numerous posters, billboards,

2531
02:26:36.239 --> 02:26:39.319
<v Speaker 1>and social media accounts to help keep her daughter's memory

2532
02:26:39.319 --> 02:26:43.719
<v Speaker 1>alive and to help bring her home. Meldie Antia was

2533
02:26:43.799 --> 02:26:47.120
<v Speaker 1>last seen on September twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six, on

2534
02:26:47.200 --> 02:26:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Pine Avenue in newless Card, Ontario. She's described as a

2535
02:26:51.879 --> 02:26:56.239
<v Speaker 1>black female with long braided black hair, brown eyes, standing

2536

<v Speaker 2>Number one.

2549
02:27:46.200 --> 02:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>August Riger, Eighteen year old August Riger had recently graduated

2550
02:27:51.319 --> 02:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>from the class in School of Advanced Studies and was

2551
02:27:54.000 --> 02:27:58.360
<v Speaker 1>even awarded the honor of being that year's Valedictorian. For August,

2552
02:27:58.760 --> 02:28:01.680
<v Speaker 1>life was just beginning and the world was truly his oyster,

2553
02:28:02.079 --> 02:28:04.319
<v Speaker 1>and he had earned himself a full scholarship at the

2554
02:28:04.399 --> 02:28:09.639
<v Speaker 1>University of Oklahoma. Unfortunately, that summer was snatched away right

2555
02:28:09.680 --> 02:28:12.239
<v Speaker 1>from under the nose of august family, and almost a

2556
02:28:12.319 --> 02:28:17.920
<v Speaker 1>decade later on, his case remains unsolved. On June sixteenth,

2557
02:28:17.959 --> 02:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirteen, August and his family took the trip of

2558
02:28:21.040 --> 02:28:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime to Ecuador to celebrate his graduation. According to

2559
02:28:25.680 --> 02:28:28.559
<v Speaker 1>his parents, Chris and Randa, August had asked for a

2560
02:28:28.559 --> 02:28:31.479
<v Speaker 1>holiday to a Spanish speaking country as he wanted to

2561
02:28:31.479 --> 02:28:32.799
<v Speaker 1>practice in Spanish.

2562
02:28:33.319 --> 02:28:34.200
<v Speaker 2>His parents would.

2563
02:28:34.079 --> 02:28:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Later tell news outlets that this was just the kind

2564
02:28:36.360 --> 02:28:40.079
<v Speaker 1>of person August is, always wanting to learn and improve himself.

2565
02:28:40.760 --> 02:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>The family packed up their things and headed to Ecuador,

2566
02:28:43.639 --> 02:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>not knowing the horrors.

2567
02:28:44.760 --> 02:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>That awaited them.

2568
02:28:47.040 --> 02:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>The family was staying in Banos, Central Ecuador, and were

2569
02:28:50.680 --> 02:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>counting down the days until their dream tour came around.

2570
02:28:54.280 --> 02:28:56.559
<v Speaker 1>The family had booked on to a three day tour

2571
02:28:56.639 --> 02:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon Jungle, something August was especially looking forward too.

2572
02:29:01.600 --> 02:29:05.319
<v Speaker 1>With time to spare Chris Randa, August and his siblings

2573
02:29:05.360 --> 02:29:07.319
<v Speaker 1>decided to take a hike on a trail close to

2574
02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:10.319
<v Speaker 1>their hotel. This would give them a chance to experience

2575
02:29:10.319 --> 02:29:13.079
<v Speaker 1>the natural beauty that Ecuador has to offer while still

2576
02:29:13.079 --> 02:29:18.399
<v Speaker 1>being close to civilization. Unfortunately, despite being close to their

2577
02:29:18.440 --> 02:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>hotel and other populated areas, the unthinkable happened. As the

2578
02:29:23.319 --> 02:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>family went along the trail, August sped ahead and told

2579
02:29:26.639 --> 02:29:28.239
<v Speaker 1>him that he would wait for them at the top.

2580
02:29:29.040 --> 02:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>The rest of the family followed behind, expecting to see

2581
02:29:32.040 --> 02:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>August smiling and waiting for them, but he was nowhere

2582
02:29:35.639 --> 02:29:38.799
<v Speaker 1>to be found. His family looked around for him but

2583
02:29:38.879 --> 02:29:42.399
<v Speaker 1>saw nothing. They decided to head back to the hotel,

2584
02:29:42.600 --> 02:29:45.719
<v Speaker 1>thinking that August had possibly gone there, maybe taking another

2585
02:29:45.799 --> 02:29:48.959
<v Speaker 1>route down, but as they reached their room, there was

2586
02:29:49.000 --> 02:29:53.319
<v Speaker 1>still no sign of August. The Riager family waited, hoping

2587
02:29:53.360 --> 02:29:57.959
<v Speaker 1>that August would return hours later. When that didn't transpire,

2588
02:29:58.399 --> 02:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they reported their son missing to the Ecuadorian authorities. In

2589
02:30:01.639 --> 02:30:04.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours after he was last seen. A search

2590
02:30:04.719 --> 02:30:08.719
<v Speaker 1>party was established to find the missing team. The governor's

2591
02:30:08.760 --> 02:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>office of the province where the Riggers were staying made

2592
02:30:11.120 --> 02:30:14.399
<v Speaker 1>a statement in the wake of august disappearance, reassuring the

2593
02:30:14.479 --> 02:30:17.879
<v Speaker 1>media and US citizens watching the story closely that all

2594
02:30:17.959 --> 02:30:21.239
<v Speaker 1>efforts were being made to find the young man. Part

2595
02:30:21.239 --> 02:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>of the statement read a special team of local authorities,

2596
02:30:24.719 --> 02:30:28.760
<v Speaker 1>including members of the Armed Forces, police, fire department, and

2597
02:30:28.840 --> 02:30:32.479
<v Speaker 1>some volunteers, were deployed in order to find mister Riger.

2598
02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Hours slowly turned into days, and there was still no

2599
02:30:36.079 --> 02:30:40.079
<v Speaker 1>word from August. His family waited patiently for any updates

2600
02:30:40.200 --> 02:30:44.239
<v Speaker 1>or leads as to their son's squearbouts August missing person

2601
02:30:44.319 --> 02:30:47.879
<v Speaker 1>poster was distributed across Ecuador and locals kept a close

2602
02:30:47.879 --> 02:30:51.799
<v Speaker 1>eye out for him. Ten days later, a bizarre sighting

2603
02:30:51.879 --> 02:30:55.479
<v Speaker 1>was reported to the Ecuadorian authorities. According to an ABC

2604
02:30:55.600 --> 02:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>News article written on June twenty sixth, twenty thirteen, there

2605
02:30:58.920 --> 02:31:00.639
<v Speaker 1>had been a possible sighting of August.

2606
02:31:01.319 --> 02:31:02.479
<v Speaker 2>The article goes on.

2607
02:31:02.399 --> 02:31:06.079
<v Speaker 1>To say, a high school valedictorian from Oklahoma has been

2608
02:31:06.159 --> 02:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>missing for more than a week at Ecuador, might have

2609
02:31:08.639 --> 02:31:11.159
<v Speaker 1>been spotted on the back of a truck headed toward

2610
02:31:11.239 --> 02:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon rainforest.

2611
02:31:12.959 --> 02:31:14.719
<v Speaker 2>The family told ABC.

2612
02:31:14.479 --> 02:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>News this would be the only sighting of August, though,

2613
02:31:18.479 --> 02:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and as the months passed, more sightings would be called

2614
02:31:21.040 --> 02:31:25.799
<v Speaker 1>into the authorities. Christi Riager August Sand spoke to ko

2615
02:31:25.799 --> 02:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Co five News in twenty fourteen, telling the station that

2616
02:31:29.520 --> 02:31:33.399
<v Speaker 1>authorities had received several credible sightings of August over the

2617
02:31:33.479 --> 02:31:36.479
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks and that the family held out hope

2618
02:31:36.639 --> 02:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that August was still out there unharmed. This sentiment was

2619
02:31:40.600 --> 02:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>also echoed on the Facebook page find August.

2620
02:31:43.440 --> 02:31:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Riager, which is run by his family.

2621
02:31:46.639 --> 02:31:49.639
<v Speaker 1>On May seventh, twenty fourteen, the post was made to

2622
02:31:49.680 --> 02:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook page reading we are excited to report that

2623
02:31:53.040 --> 02:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>there have been a few recent sightings of August. We

2624
02:31:56.079 --> 02:31:58.760
<v Speaker 1>are grateful for the Ecuadorian citizens who are helping. Out

2625
02:31:58.760 --> 02:32:02.079
<v Speaker 1>of the goodness of their hearts, we will bring him home.

2626
02:32:03.319 --> 02:32:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Underneath this post, a comment was also added by the

2627
02:32:06.319 --> 02:32:10.559
<v Speaker 1>page that reads, no more info for now. The investigation

2628
02:32:10.680 --> 02:32:13.719
<v Speaker 1>is obviously active and on the move. Sharing too much

2629
02:32:13.840 --> 02:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>could compromise that. Since then, the Ecuadorian authorities and August

2630
02:32:19.000 --> 02:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>family have continued to look for him, and his family

2631
02:32:22.200 --> 02:32:26.479
<v Speaker 1>praised the authorities and the people of Ecuador. Posters with

2632
02:32:26.559 --> 02:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>August face were widely distributed and it's a case that

2633
02:32:29.600 --> 02:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>many Ecuadorians will not forget. Years have passed since August vanished,

2634
02:32:34.440 --> 02:32:37.399
<v Speaker 1>and his family still holds out hope that he is alive. Somewhere.

2635
02:32:38.360 --> 02:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>No ransom demands have ever been made, and the authorities

2636
02:32:41.479 --> 02:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>cannot figure out why anyone would have wanted to kidnap August.

2637
02:32:45.559 --> 02:32:47.959
<v Speaker 1>There's also the theory that August fell over the edge

2638
02:32:47.959 --> 02:32:50.719
<v Speaker 1>while on the hike, but his remains have never been

2639
02:32:50.760 --> 02:32:55.120
<v Speaker 1>recovered To support this theory, august family runs to find

2640
02:32:55.159 --> 02:32:58.879
<v Speaker 1>August rig or Facebook page, along with making media appearances

2641
02:32:58.879 --> 02:33:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to keep his story and public eye. August Rigger was

2642
02:33:02.879 --> 02:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>last seen on June sixteenth, twenty thirteen, in the mountains

2643
02:33:06.280 --> 02:33:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of Banos in Ecuador. Photos showing possible alterations in august

2644
02:33:11.280 --> 02:33:14.959
<v Speaker 1>appearance are available via the Facebook page. Alternatively, you can

2645
02:33:15.000 --> 02:33:20.799
<v Speaker 1>contact your nearest US embassy or consulate office. Well, folks,

2646
02:33:20.879 --> 02:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>there you have it. What do you think of these

2647
02:33:23.399 --> 02:33:28.680
<v Speaker 1>strange and creepy disappearances. I look forward to hearing your comments.

2648
02:33:29.479 --> 02:33:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Please keep it friendly and respect. Meanwhile, be good to

2649
02:33:34.399 --> 02:33:39.079
<v Speaker 1>yourselves and each other. Stay safe out there. As for me,

2650
02:33:39.440 --> 02:33:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I'll see you a little farther on down the trail.

2651
02:33:42.319 --> 02:34:10.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time. Hello, friends,

2652
02:34:11.600 --> 02:34:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Steve Stockton here with you in this video, We're going

2653
02:34:15.479 --> 02:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>to be discussing some strange wilderness disappearances you may never

2654
02:34:19.440 --> 02:34:23.639
<v Speaker 1>have heard of. So sit back, relax, and let the

2655
02:34:23.680 --> 02:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>stories begin.

2656
02:34:26.000 --> 02:34:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Now.

2657
02:34:26.319 --> 02:34:28.760
<v Speaker 1>For some, a walk in the wilderness can be the

2658
02:34:28.799 --> 02:34:32.399
<v Speaker 1>perfect getaway from everyday life and a chance to reconnect

2659
02:34:32.440 --> 02:34:36.719
<v Speaker 1>with Mother Nature. For others, great outdoors can be a

2660
02:34:36.799 --> 02:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>dangerous place, and unfortunately there's a place where many people

2661
02:34:40.040 --> 02:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>meet their end or just mysteriously vanish. Here are for

2662
02:34:44.399 --> 02:34:50.639
<v Speaker 1>such cases for you to consider. Number four. Brian Skelenski,

2663
02:34:51.760 --> 02:34:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Forty year old Brian Skelensky was at a turning point

2664
02:34:54.360 --> 02:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in his life. He was admittedly in the midst of

2665
02:34:57.040 --> 02:35:00.280
<v Speaker 1>a midlife crisis and was desperately seeking answers had a

2666
02:35:00.319 --> 02:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>purpose in his life. He told CBS Denver, I was

2667
02:35:04.559 --> 02:35:07.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to find motivation for the next forty years of

2668
02:35:07.559 --> 02:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>my life. I wanted to exert myself. I didn't want

2669
02:35:11.200 --> 02:35:14.479
<v Speaker 1>to go to the extremes that I did. In a

2670
02:35:14.520 --> 02:35:17.600
<v Speaker 1>bid to clear his head and reconnect with nature, Brian

2671
02:35:17.680 --> 02:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>headed out into the Great Sand Dunes National Park and preserve.

2672
02:35:21.719 --> 02:35:25.319
<v Speaker 1>What should have been a life changing expedition almost turned

2673
02:35:25.360 --> 02:35:29.399
<v Speaker 1>into the tragedy. On February eleventh, Brian entered the Great

2674
02:35:29.440 --> 02:35:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Sand Dunes National Park headed for the Coal Creek drainage area,

2675
02:35:33.000 --> 02:35:35.280
<v Speaker 1>which would have seen him hiking ten miles around the

2676
02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:38.520
<v Speaker 1>perimeter of the park. Coal Creek Drainage is located at

2677
02:35:38.520 --> 02:35:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the base of Mount Herald and what had provided Brian

2678
02:35:41.200 --> 02:35:44.399
<v Speaker 1>with spectacular views and the perfect amount of quiet time

2679
02:35:44.479 --> 02:35:49.559
<v Speaker 1>to clear his head. Sometime into his walk, the conditions changed, however,

2680
02:35:50.079 --> 02:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>and he began to encounter snowdrifts. Any other person would

2681
02:35:53.680 --> 02:35:55.639
<v Speaker 1>probably have turned around and had it back to their car,

2682
02:35:56.159 --> 02:36:00.559
<v Speaker 1>but Brian had other ideas. In an interview with CBA Denver,

2683
02:36:00.799 --> 02:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>he says, I said, this isn't going to stop me.

2684
02:36:03.920 --> 02:36:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Three feet of snow. Three feet isn't going to stop me.

2685
02:36:07.760 --> 02:36:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Four feet isn't going to stop me. I'm going to

2686
02:36:10.440 --> 02:36:10.959
<v Speaker 1>keep going.

2687
02:36:11.440 --> 02:36:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Why. I couldn't tell you.

2688
02:36:14.879 --> 02:36:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, this mistake would almost cost Brian his life. After

2689
02:36:19.520 --> 02:36:23.360
<v Speaker 1>becoming stranded, Brian soon realized the mistake he had made.

2690
02:36:23.920 --> 02:36:26.959
<v Speaker 1>He had no shelter, no extra clothing, and only two

2691
02:36:27.000 --> 02:36:31.200
<v Speaker 1>small meals meant to sustain him for one day. As

2692
02:36:31.239 --> 02:36:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the sun rose on the second day, Brian desperately tried

2693
02:36:34.760 --> 02:36:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to continue his fight to find his way home. The

2694
02:36:37.719 --> 02:36:40.479
<v Speaker 1>freezing temperatures and snow did little to help of course,

2695
02:36:40.920 --> 02:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and by the third day he had to cut the

2696
02:36:43.200 --> 02:36:45.319
<v Speaker 1>laces and tongues out of his boots as they had

2697
02:36:45.360 --> 02:36:49.840
<v Speaker 1>frozen over. Now, with damaged boots, no food, no water,

2698
02:36:49.959 --> 02:36:54.840
<v Speaker 1>no warm clothes, Brian carried on walking. To make matters worse,

2699
02:36:55.280 --> 02:36:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Brian had gotten lost and had found himself on the

2700
02:36:57.680 --> 02:37:02.120
<v Speaker 1>sand dunes. His absence had gone unnoticed, though, and by

2701
02:37:02.159 --> 02:37:04.879
<v Speaker 1>the fifth day of him being missing, ragers from the

2702
02:37:04.879 --> 02:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>park noticed that his car had been parked there an

2703
02:37:06.760 --> 02:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>unusually long time. After failing to make contact with the owner,

2704
02:37:11.399 --> 02:37:15.639
<v Speaker 1>they set about looking for park rangers, along with volunteers,

2705
02:37:16.079 --> 02:37:19.319
<v Speaker 1>horsts and arrow units began scanning the park looking for

2706
02:37:19.399 --> 02:37:22.040
<v Speaker 1>any sign of the missing man, but there was nothing

2707
02:37:22.120 --> 02:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to be seen. Niffer dogs were even brought in, and

2708
02:37:25.280 --> 02:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>while his footprints and scent were found, Brian wasn't. As

2709
02:37:29.879 --> 02:37:32.799
<v Speaker 1>the fifth day was drawn to a close, the outlook

2710
02:37:32.920 --> 02:37:35.680
<v Speaker 1>was looking very bleak for Brian, and his chance of

2711
02:37:35.760 --> 02:37:39.559
<v Speaker 1>survival was growing slimmer and slimmer by the minute. Then

2712
02:37:40.200 --> 02:37:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a miracle happened. He told CBS Denver, I'd given up

2713
02:37:44.399 --> 02:37:47.360
<v Speaker 1>on my mission to the stars. I saw a road

2714
02:37:47.680 --> 02:37:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's when I was discovered by rescuers. He was

2715
02:37:51.159 --> 02:37:53.719
<v Speaker 1>escorted to the Great Sand Dune Vister Center and said,

2716
02:37:54.239 --> 02:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I walk in there and I see a picture of

2717
02:37:56.040 --> 02:37:58.879
<v Speaker 1>myself on the bulletin board and a map. To be

2718
02:37:58.920 --> 02:38:01.159
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, I didn't you think people were looking

2719
02:38:01.200 --> 02:38:05.879
<v Speaker 1>for me? It was a miracle. Brian had been found

2720
02:38:05.879 --> 02:38:09.200
<v Speaker 1>alive and well after surviving for five days in below

2721
02:38:09.239 --> 02:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>freezing temperatures without food, water, shelter, or adequate clothing. His

2722
02:38:14.879 --> 02:38:18.360
<v Speaker 1>extremities had suffered from frostbite, but he refused to accept

2723
02:38:18.440 --> 02:38:22.040
<v Speaker 1>medical treatment. Instead, all he asked of his rescuers was

2724
02:38:22.079 --> 02:38:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to help him get back home to New York. Brian's

2725
02:38:25.200 --> 02:38:28.120
<v Speaker 1>story doesn't end there, though. This wouldn't be the last

2726
02:38:28.159 --> 02:38:31.479
<v Speaker 1>time he would disappear into the wilderness. In early May

2727
02:38:31.559 --> 02:38:35.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, Brian Skelenski would hit the headlines once again

2728
02:38:35.719 --> 02:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when he disappeared from the Great Sand Dunes National Park

2729
02:38:38.959 --> 02:38:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and Preserve.

2730
02:38:40.479 --> 02:38:42.600
<v Speaker 2>According to reports, Brian.

2731
02:38:42.360 --> 02:38:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Went missing and again Mark rangers discovered his car in

2732
02:38:45.840 --> 02:38:48.959
<v Speaker 1>a picnic area and tried to track him down. When

2733
02:38:48.959 --> 02:38:51.239
<v Speaker 1>they failed to do so, they got together a search

2734
02:38:51.319 --> 02:38:56.959
<v Speaker 1>and rescue team, But this time the outcome wasn't so bright. Unfortunately,

2735
02:38:57.079 --> 02:39:00.200
<v Speaker 1>bad weather prevented the search teams from conducting a thorough search,

2736
02:39:00.639 --> 02:39:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and on June twenty eighth, twenty seventeen, Brian's body was

2737
02:39:04.239 --> 02:39:11.959
<v Speaker 1>discovered covered with deep snow. Number three Randy Rascoe. On

2738
02:39:12.000 --> 02:39:15.879
<v Speaker 1>November nineteenth, twenty fifteen, park rangers at the Mammoth Cave

2739
02:39:15.959 --> 02:39:18.559
<v Speaker 1>National Park in Kentucky noticed that a car had been

2740
02:39:18.600 --> 02:39:22.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the car park for around two weeks. This

2741
02:39:22.120 --> 02:39:25.879
<v Speaker 1>immediately set off warning bells, and after doing some digging

2742
02:39:25.920 --> 02:39:28.959
<v Speaker 1>for information, they discovered that the car belonged.

2743
02:39:28.600 --> 02:39:31.040
<v Speaker 2>To forty year old Randy Rascoe.

2744
02:39:31.200 --> 02:39:33.120
<v Speaker 1>As the car had been there for quite some time,

2745
02:39:33.280 --> 02:39:35.959
<v Speaker 1>the park rangers set about searching for Randy right away,

2746
02:39:36.600 --> 02:39:38.399
<v Speaker 1>but when he couldn't be found in or near the

2747
02:39:38.440 --> 02:39:42.040
<v Speaker 1>parking area, they opened an investigation and widened their search.

2748
02:39:43.120 --> 02:39:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Park rangers and investigators contacted Randy's family to see if

2749
02:39:46.520 --> 02:39:49.719
<v Speaker 1>they had spoken to him, but chillingly, they had been

2750
02:39:49.719 --> 02:39:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out of contact for a few months. According to his

2751
02:39:53.680 --> 02:39:57.799
<v Speaker 1>sister Sherry, up until May twenty fifteen, everything was normal

2752
02:39:58.440 --> 02:40:02.760
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis. He was doing his normal things, hunting, fishing,

2753
02:40:02.879 --> 02:40:05.239
<v Speaker 1>and kept in contact with our brother who lived close

2754
02:40:05.280 --> 02:40:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to his Bowling Green apartment. Then one day, out of

2755
02:40:08.159 --> 02:40:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the blue, he packed up his belongings, quit his job,

2756
02:40:11.079 --> 02:40:13.479
<v Speaker 1>and had his mail forward it to another address, and

2757
02:40:13.639 --> 02:40:17.440
<v Speaker 1>just left. Cherry said they filed a missing person's report

2758
02:40:17.479 --> 02:40:19.840
<v Speaker 1>after they found out he had just fled and were

2759
02:40:19.879 --> 02:40:23.559
<v Speaker 1>worried as he had recently gotten divorced. For a month,

2760
02:40:23.760 --> 02:40:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the Rascoe family waited for any news, and in June

2761
02:40:27.200 --> 02:40:30.639
<v Speaker 1>he was found safe and sound in Washington State. Randy

2762
02:40:30.680 --> 02:40:32.319
<v Speaker 1>made it clear that he didn't want to speak to

2763
02:40:32.360 --> 02:40:35.639
<v Speaker 1>his family at that time and wanted to be alone.

2764
02:40:35.799 --> 02:40:38.920
<v Speaker 1>As painful as it was, his family respected his boundaries

2765
02:40:38.959 --> 02:40:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and assured him they would welcome him back with open

2766
02:40:40.920 --> 02:40:44.879
<v Speaker 1>arms whenever he was ready. For the next few months,

2767
02:40:45.040 --> 02:40:48.159
<v Speaker 1>it's believed that Randy traveled all around the US, all

2768
02:40:48.239 --> 02:40:52.280
<v Speaker 1>while maintaining his privacy and secrecy. His family didn't know

2769
02:40:52.319 --> 02:40:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that anything was wrong until the Mammoth Cave National Park

2770
02:40:55.239 --> 02:40:57.840
<v Speaker 1>rangers contacted them to let them know that his car

2771
02:40:57.840 --> 02:41:02.719
<v Speaker 1>had been found abandoned. This second disappearance, his family hoped

2772
02:41:02.760 --> 02:41:06.639
<v Speaker 1>that there would be a positive resolution, but sadly, as

2773
02:41:06.639 --> 02:41:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty two, Randy Rascoe is still missing. Search crews, volunteers,

2774
02:41:12.319 --> 02:41:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and even the Civil Air Patrol all joined the in

2775
02:41:14.680 --> 02:41:17.600
<v Speaker 1>for the search for Randy, scarring the over fifty three

2776
02:41:17.680 --> 02:41:21.159
<v Speaker 1>thousand acres of land of the park. Despite their best

2777
02:41:21.200 --> 02:41:24.559
<v Speaker 1>efforts in multiple searches, no sign of Randy has ever

2778
02:41:24.600 --> 02:41:27.280
<v Speaker 1>been found, and his car is the only clue we

2779
02:41:27.319 --> 02:41:31.399
<v Speaker 1>have in terms of his mysterious disappearance. Randy Rascoe is

2780
02:41:31.440 --> 02:41:34.079
<v Speaker 1>described as a white male six foot two inches taught

2781
02:41:34.079 --> 02:41:38.239
<v Speaker 1>with black hair, hazel eyes, and a slim, athletic build.

2782
02:41:38.559 --> 02:41:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Anyone with any information is as to please contact the

2783
02:41:42.079 --> 02:41:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Mammoth Cave National Park at two seven zero seven five

2784
02:41:46.200 --> 02:41:48.319
<v Speaker 1>eight two one eight zero.

2785
02:41:50.319 --> 02:41:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Number two.

2786
02:41:51.639 --> 02:41:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Marine Kelly, eighteen year old Marine Kelly embarked on what

2787
02:41:56.040 --> 02:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>she thought would be a spiritual adventure of a lifetime. However,

2788
02:42:00.040 --> 02:42:03.600
<v Speaker 1>this adventure quickly turned sour and she's been missing ever since.

2789
02:42:04.600 --> 02:42:08.079
<v Speaker 1>On June nineteenth, twenty thirteen, Marine and a group of

2790
02:42:08.120 --> 02:42:11.280
<v Speaker 1>friends arrived at the Canyon Creek Campground in the Gifford

2791
02:42:11.319 --> 02:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Pinchote National Park in Washington State, ready to camp and

2792
02:42:15.520 --> 02:42:18.479
<v Speaker 1>hang out together and have a good time. The friends

2793
02:42:18.479 --> 02:42:20.879
<v Speaker 1>were relaxing and taking in the natural beauty of the

2794
02:42:20.920 --> 02:42:23.879
<v Speaker 1>park when Marine abruptly announced that she was going on

2795
02:42:23.920 --> 02:42:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a spiritual adventure. She took off all of her clothes,

2796
02:42:28.280 --> 02:42:30.959
<v Speaker 1>removed her shoes, and was equipped with nothing but a

2797
02:42:30.959 --> 02:42:33.719
<v Speaker 1>fanny pack that's believed to have held a pocket knife accompass.

2798
02:42:33.760 --> 02:42:34.399
<v Speaker 2>In a few.

2799
02:42:34.200 --> 02:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Matches after declaring that she was going on a spiritual adventure,

2800
02:42:39.319 --> 02:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Marine headed out into the woods, never to be seen again.

2801
02:42:43.920 --> 02:42:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Mariene didn't tell her friends how long she was going

2802
02:42:46.280 --> 02:42:48.879
<v Speaker 1>to be or even where she was headed, but they

2803
02:42:48.879 --> 02:42:51.120
<v Speaker 1>figured she would be back at least within a few

2804
02:42:51.120 --> 02:42:55.000
<v Speaker 1>hours to tell them all about her spiritual journey. As

2805
02:42:55.079 --> 02:42:58.520
<v Speaker 1>darkness rolled in and Marine still hadn't returned, a group

2806
02:42:58.520 --> 02:43:01.879
<v Speaker 1>of friends alerted this commandee County Sheriff's office, and she

2807
02:43:01.959 --> 02:43:06.040
<v Speaker 1>was officially reported missing. There were added concerns about her

2808
02:43:06.040 --> 02:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>welfare to the fact that she left without clothes, shoes, food,

2809
02:43:09.719 --> 02:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and water, and within hours a huge search and rescue

2810
02:43:13.440 --> 02:43:18.079
<v Speaker 1>mission began. Volunteers, park rangers and search and rescue coordinators

2811
02:43:18.120 --> 02:43:20.399
<v Speaker 1>called through the park looking for any sign of her,

2812
02:43:21.120 --> 02:43:24.040
<v Speaker 1>but despite their best efforts, it was as if she

2813
02:43:24.159 --> 02:43:28.680
<v Speaker 1>had vanished into thin air. One clue did surface, however,

2814
02:43:29.239 --> 02:43:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and as search teams are looking on the ground, they

2815
02:43:31.280 --> 02:43:35.600
<v Speaker 1>came across footprints, barefootprints that were the same size as

2816
02:43:35.639 --> 02:43:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Marine's feet working on this singular clue, Sniffer dogs are

2817
02:43:40.159 --> 02:43:42.639
<v Speaker 1>brought in in an attempt to trace her sent but

2818
02:43:42.799 --> 02:43:45.319
<v Speaker 1>due to the rainfall, they were unable to pick up anything.

2819
02:43:46.399 --> 02:43:48.239
<v Speaker 2>The footprints showed that Marine.

2820
02:43:47.920 --> 02:43:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Had perhaps headed north towards for Service fifty four road,

2821
02:43:51.879 --> 02:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>but as previously mentioned, the trail ended where the road began.

2822
02:43:56.559 --> 02:43:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Helicopters were brought in, but they were unable to search

2823
02:43:59.120 --> 02:44:01.520
<v Speaker 1>for Marine in the initial hours and days following her

2824
02:44:01.559 --> 02:44:06.559
<v Speaker 1>disappearance due to severe weather conditions. Nineteen year old Marine

2825
02:44:06.639 --> 02:44:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Kelly remains missing and this Caamania County Sheriff's Office is

2826
02:44:10.520 --> 02:44:13.159
<v Speaker 1>still no closer to finding out what happened to her.

2827
02:44:13.959 --> 02:44:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Many believe that she succumbed to the elments that very night,

2828
02:44:17.440 --> 02:44:20.200
<v Speaker 1>but as her body has never been found, nobody knows

2829
02:44:20.239 --> 02:44:24.159
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Marine is described as an Asian Pacific islander

2830
02:44:24.200 --> 02:44:27.239
<v Speaker 1>with black hair, brown eyes. She stands five foot seven

2831
02:44:27.319 --> 02:44:29.920
<v Speaker 1>inches tall and weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds.

2832
02:44:30.639 --> 02:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Anyone with any information is asked to please contact this

2836
02:44:51.040 --> 02:44:55.319
<v Speaker 1>April eleventh, twenty nineteen, sixty eight year old Cat Hamententree,

2837
02:44:55.479 --> 02:44:59.000
<v Speaker 1>her dog Tutsi, her husband, her daughter, and a group

2838
02:44:59.040 --> 02:45:01.879
<v Speaker 1>of other hikers off into the San Felipe Desert in

2839
02:45:01.920 --> 02:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Baja California and Mexico. The group were either headed for

2840
02:45:05.959 --> 02:45:09.879
<v Speaker 1>or near the Diablo Canyon. Ouh oh one tragedy struck

2841
02:45:10.559 --> 02:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>in this community. We know all about places with devil

2842
02:45:13.360 --> 02:45:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in the name. According to the Seattle Times, Kate had

2843
02:45:17.360 --> 02:45:19.879
<v Speaker 1>lived in Mexico for the past twenty years. He would

2844
02:45:19.920 --> 02:45:22.239
<v Speaker 1>often make the trip to Seattle, Washington to visit her

2845
02:45:22.239 --> 02:45:26.440
<v Speaker 1>friends and family. The details surrounding casts disappearance are sparse,

2846
02:45:26.879 --> 02:45:30.399
<v Speaker 1>but here is what we do know. According to Kat's daughter,

2847
02:45:30.559 --> 02:45:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Desiree Blair, about ten minutes into the hike, Cat complained

2848
02:45:34.399 --> 02:45:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that she had hurt her foot or ankle and told

2849
02:45:36.520 --> 02:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the group that she would take a quick break while

2850
02:45:38.639 --> 02:45:42.200
<v Speaker 1>they continued on. Her husband later commented that the injury

2851
02:45:42.239 --> 02:45:44.600
<v Speaker 1>seemed severe and he believed the Cat may have actually

2852
02:45:44.680 --> 02:45:48.200
<v Speaker 1>broken her foot or ankle. The group left Cat and

2853
02:45:48.239 --> 02:45:50.559
<v Speaker 1>her dog, Tutsi behind as they made their way to

2854
02:45:50.600 --> 02:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the waterfall, and as they circled back around, Cat was

2855
02:45:54.600 --> 02:45:58.879
<v Speaker 1>nowhere to be found. Her husband, Warren Sunquist, went and

2856
02:45:58.920 --> 02:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>waited at their car, thinking that perhaps she had headed there,

2857
02:46:02.120 --> 02:46:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but she never showed up. Hours passed and there was

2858
02:46:05.479 --> 02:46:08.440
<v Speaker 1>no sign of Cat. The group and her family reported

2859
02:46:08.440 --> 02:46:11.680
<v Speaker 1>her missing. Cat was very familiar with the area and

2860
02:46:11.799 --> 02:46:14.399
<v Speaker 1>showed no concerns about being left alone while the others

2861
02:46:14.440 --> 02:46:18.639
<v Speaker 1>finished their height. Chasso apparently showed no signs of distress,

2862
02:46:19.079 --> 02:46:23.440
<v Speaker 1>making her disappearance all the more mystifying. After Cat was

2863
02:46:23.440 --> 02:46:27.239
<v Speaker 1>reported missing, search and rescue crews, volunteers, and even the

2864
02:46:27.319 --> 02:46:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Mexican Armed Forces all pitched in to help find her,

2865
02:46:30.799 --> 02:46:33.760
<v Speaker 1>but as of twenty twenty two, no trace has ever

2866
02:46:33.799 --> 02:46:37.479
<v Speaker 1>been found. The authorities in San Felipe did believe at

2867
02:46:37.479 --> 02:46:39.600
<v Speaker 1>one point that someone in the hiking group may have

2868
02:46:39.639 --> 02:46:44.520
<v Speaker 1>been responsible, however, although everyone present was questioned and no

2869
02:46:44.719 --> 02:46:48.600
<v Speaker 1>charges have ever been brought about. One theory suggests that

2870
02:46:48.680 --> 02:46:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Cat perhaps stumbled across cartel activity and that she was

2871
02:46:52.239 --> 02:46:55.920
<v Speaker 1>taken out for what she saw. Another theory is that

2872
02:46:56.000 --> 02:46:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Cat was attacked by wild animal, but the first attending

2873
02:46:59.120 --> 02:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>officers noted that the scene was devoid of any signs

2874
02:47:02.000 --> 02:47:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of a struggle.

2875
02:47:02.799 --> 02:47:06.000
<v Speaker 2>There was no blood. As of this recording.

2876
02:47:06.360 --> 02:47:09.600
<v Speaker 1>In March or twenty twenty two, kat Hamantree and her

2877
02:47:09.600 --> 02:47:14.200
<v Speaker 1>dog Kutsi remain missing and her family are desperate for answers.

2878
02:47:14.840 --> 02:47:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Anyone with any information is asked to contact the sam

2879
