Listener discretion is advised. 3 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.480 I've come back picking Leonard opened the latch on the 4 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:18.320 left side driver's side of the truck. 5 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.039 The mold. He comes around the front of the truck 6 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.320 and says, there's a dead body of that. 7 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.399 What is wrong with this fascist bide asshole anyway? Why 8 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.880 does he keep putting out episodes? Hi, it's me again, 9 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.200 putting the fries firmly in the bag. Would you like 10 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.280 some ketchup with that? My staff is gonna fucking kill 11 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.000 me for putting out so many episodes. I should really 12 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.760 spread them out. But you know what, I doubled the 13 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.280 pricing this year, kind of oh you want, don't I? 14 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.719 Or maybe two or three. So it's gonna be a 15 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.480 little bit of a fun White Boys summer here at 16 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.120 Sword and Scale Enterprises. And then we're probably gonna take 17 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.519 a little time off in the fall, just letting you know, 18 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:50.159 so you don't freak the fuck out. Everybody needs a vaca, 19 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.680 you know. But uh, we're gonna try to put out 20 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.640 as much as we can here because why not. Why not? 21 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.480 It's not like I'm doing this for the money. Anyway, 22 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:59.719 I'm doing it to piss off liberals. It's the summer 23 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.879 of twenty twenty four and Lisa Sheridan's concerns are growing 24 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.919 with each unanswered call. She can't reach her daughter, Rachel, 25 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.960 who she speaks with every day. Lisa tries to calm 26 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.759 her nerves by telling herself that she's fine, but it's 27 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.039 not working. Sure, Rachel's busy a lot, she works full time. 28 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.439 Even so, the twenty four year old always found time 29 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.039 to call her mother. Call you mother, guys, she misses 30 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.560 you well. Last time Lisa heard from Rachel was three 31 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.879 days ago, on Saturday, June twenty ninth. Now it's July second, 32 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.199 and Lisa picks up the phone again to call Rachel's work. 33 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.840 After just one ring, the manager at Love's Travel Stop 34 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.080 gas station in North Canton, Ohio answers the phone. Lisa 35 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.400 asks if Rachel is scheduled to work that day. The 36 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.520 manager says she is, but she hasn't shown up. Lisa's 37 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:06.240 stomach drops, realizing just how uncharacteristic this was of her daughter. 38 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.759 It's at this point when Lisa and her fiance decide 39 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.039 to drive over to her apartment see what's going on. 40 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.120 When they arrive, they see one of Rachel's cats sitting 41 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.199 on the basement unit's windowsill as it pokes its white 42 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.199 head past a blanket covering the large pane of glass. 43 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.519 Lisa wonders what happened to the curtains she bought her 44 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.000 daughter that were once there. She and her fiance then 45 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.079 enter the building and walk down the small set of 46 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.279 steps that lead to Rachel's apartment. Immediately, Lisa's fiance starts 47 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.800 banging on the door, but there's no answer. Lisa then 48 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:49.480 reaches into her purse, grabs her phone, and calls the 49 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.360 sheriff's apartment. 50 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.000 Hi, I was wondering if I can speak with the 51 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.040 police officer? 52 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.120 Okay, reference to what, ma'am? 53 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:04.079 My daughter? I'm I haven't spoke with her for three days, 54 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.839 and then I find out that she called. She was 55 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.759 a no call, no show at her job, and her 56 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.360 car is gone, and we're at her apartment right now 57 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.480 looking for her. What's the address and forty one oh 58 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.680 seven Orchard Deal. The police have been out here more 59 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.680 than once, but all of a sudden, now she's nowhere 60 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.399 to be found. She's not answering my text. 61 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:32.399 Okay, what farm. 62 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.839 I'm not sure.

He was banging on the door trying 91 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.120 to see if somebody was going to come to the door. 92 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.279 All I heard was him yelling now that to all 93 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:15.040 I heard, Yeah, and no hold on all the pat 94 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.199 all do what. 95 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.040 They had a computer or something going on in there, 96 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.480 and then they quit who at stirred knocking. 97 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.279 The dispatcher instructs Lisa and her fiance to get away 98 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.680 from the door and step outside until the police arrive. 99 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.560 I want you to well to come out of there 100 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.680 and come on the property, come to the parking lone 101 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.160 and stand by your musick. 102 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.720 Okay, yep, not a problem. 103 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.839 All right, I have the offices on the way. Okay, 104 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.920 thank you, so you welcome man. 105 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.519 At around one pm, deputies are dispatched to the apartment 106 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.839 on Orchard Dale Drive to conduct a welfare check. Upon 107 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.759 entering the unit, deputies are met with a scene that 108 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.600 is nothing short of a health hazard. Clothes, cigarette butts, 109 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.000 dirty dishes, and several neglected litter boxes are just some 110 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:08.480 of the items contributing to this mess. A deputy then 111 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.879 looks down to find one of Rachel's several cats purring 112 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.639 and nuzzling against his boot. According to Lisa, she would 113 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.439 never leave her animals unattended like this, especially for days 114 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.959 on end. I'm sure we have a lot of cat 115 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.759 lovers in the audience that feel the same way. After 116 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.800 a quick look around, authorities decide it's probably best they 117 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.279 step outside, mindful of not contaminating any potential evidence. 118 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.879 When they went in the apartment, they felt that something 119 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.679 wasn't quite right. When they determined that nobody was at 120 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.720 the apartment, They then determined to get a search warrant 121 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.279 so they could investigate further. 122 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.080 While outside, one of the deputies returns to his patrol 123 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.120 car to issue a BOLO alert for Rachel's Red twenty 124 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.039 ten Jeep Liberty. At two fifteen pm, the jeep or 125 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.879 yeep as so jeep enthusiasts like to call it, is 126 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:07.399 spotted less than half a mile away traveling along Guildford 127 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:12.480 Avenue in Stark County, Ohio. After tailing the vehicle for 128 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.639 a few blocks, the officer initiates a traffic stop. The 129 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:21.000 jeep then slowly pulls into a nearby parking lot. As 130 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.399 the officer approaches the driver's side of the vehicle, she's 131 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:29.159 greeted by the sole occupant, a white male appearing to 132 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.360 be in his mid twenties. 133 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.679 Go and stop all the vehicle for me, give me 134 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.840 weapons on you and face off. 135 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.799 Wayman, patch you down real quick. 136 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.799 K it's gonna sticker poke me. 137 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.039 Uh. 138 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:40.519 Don't grab anything. 139 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.360 Yeah, no needles, nothing like that, no, ma'am. 140 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:43.679 Okay. 141 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.639 The man is seen on bodycam wearing a purple T 142 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.440 shirt and red basketball shorts, says. The deputy continues to 143 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.360 search him. 144 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.879 Where's your girlfriend at dinner? 145 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.080 Because she's missing right now? 146 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.360 All right, I'm putting your money back after she drenks, well. 147 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:00.960 She's not home. 148 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.360 As the officer reaches to grab her handcuffs, she turns 149 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.519 her head for just a split second too long, and 150 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.080 the suspect takes off running. These lady cops, am I right, 151 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.480 Calm down, Calm down, it's a joke. Lacks her hormones. 152 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.240 One six seven. 153 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.000 He's running for me. 154 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:22.120 Get on the ground. 155 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.279 After out running the officer, the man disappears into a 156 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.679 densely wooded area. The out of breath deputy immediately radios 157 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.200 her location along with the name and description of the suspect. 158 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.320 My fiance, I know how he feels about all of 159 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.480 this because her boyfriend has got want out for him. Okay, 160 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.679 And yeah, it's not this is not a good thing. 161 00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.799 Okay, ma'am. Yeah, what is the boyfriend's name? 162 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:08.480 Sean Go Sea and ge Oh my god, Oh my god. 163 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.399 When Rachel shared and abruptly stopped responding to calls and 164 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.759 texts in late June of twenty twenty four, her mother 165 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.559 was the first one to sense something was wrong. Deputy 166 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.799 has conducted a welfare check at her apartment, but there 167 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.039 was no sign of her. By July second, her absence 168 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.519 had escalated into a full blown panic in search of 169 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.679 a missing twenty four year old. That afternoon, the situation 170 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:11.799 took a turn, let's say, when Rachel's red Jeep Liberty 171 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.559 was seen driven not by her but by her boyfriend, 172 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.080 a twenty six year old named Sean Go. Officers attempted 173 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.679 a traffic stop on Guilford Avenue in Canton, but Sean fled, 174 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.440 ultimately leaving Rachel's vehicle behind. As the man hunt for 175 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.440 Sean and the search for Rachel intensified, investigators spoke with witnesses, friends, 176 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.759 and family members to learn what led up to Rachel's 177 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.879 sudden disappearance before she mysteriously vanished, Rachel Sheridan was described 178 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.159 as a hard working woman with a resilient spirit. At 179 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.080 age twenty four, she forged her own path, living independently 180 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.600 in a modest basement apartment in Canton, Ohio. If you've 181 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.320 ever been to Canton, or Ohio for that matter, it's 182 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.759 probably for the best. Put it that way. Aside from 183 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.440 the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the city doesn't exactly 184 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:18.279 scream opportunity or fun, probably because the crime rate is 185 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.559 almost two hundred percent higher than the national average. And 186 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:27.559 you thought Chicago was pad but for Rachel, it was home, 187 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.200 you know, the place she'd known her entire life. She 188 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.799 didn't come from money by any means, but she was disciplined. 189 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.559 Rachel had saved up enough funds working overnight shifts at 190 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:44.000 a Love's gas station to afford a jeep and her 191 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.159 own place. It's a lot more than I could say 192 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.799 about a lot of people. The neighbors over at her 193 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:54.080 complex described her as an extremely friendly neighbor, even if 194 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.440 it was a quick hello when passing through the halls, I. 195 00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.679 Were like to be taken out the trash, I'd say 196 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.320 hi to where she'd say un to me. It was 197 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.799 really friendly brief conversations. 198 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.080 When she wasn't working, which was almost never, Rachel found 199 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.480 time to nurture her creative side. She loved poetry and journaling, 200 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.399 filling its pages with her thoughts, dreams, and observations of 201 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.919 the world around her. In terms of looks, Rachel also 202 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.080 happened to be very attractive. She was petite, with dirty 203 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.080 blonde hair that curled and draped over the flower tattoo 204 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.360 on her left shoulder. 205 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.679 You can see in the picture of the sunlight when 206 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.000 it hit her, her skin glowed. 207 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.639 She just was gorgeous. What truly stood out about Rachel 208 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.879 more than her physical appearance was her personality. She was 209 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.320 just as goofy and loud as she was kind, the 210 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.600 type of person to stick up for the underdog, much 211 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.639 like the time she noticed a female coworker at a 212 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.039 BP gas station behind the counter with a black eye. 213 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.799 Okay, mama, so what's your name, Amanda? I'm with the 214 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.799 at the thirty ace VP and the owner, for whatever reason, 215 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.759 has failed to do his job. Miss Amanda was assaulted 216 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.279 by not only an ex coworker, but three to four 217 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.320 other men and women that decided to throw alcohol bottles 218 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.639 at her face and other things around the corner and 219 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.879 just being very disrespectful. She's asked the boss to take 220 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.039 the proper, the proper steps in doing what they need 221 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.840 to do for her, and they've failed to do so. 222 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.120 She's contacted attorneys and all of that. But I'm just 223 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.919 letting it be known that thirty eighth VP is clearly 224 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.720 managed by somebody very very disrespectful. 225 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:42.080 The last video Rachel posted to Snapchat wasn't anything groundbreaking, 226 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.399 just a moment in her day, but it said a 227 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.159 lot about who she was. Kind, empathetic, especially when it 228 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:55.159 came to women dealing with abusive relationships. She cared, she 229 00:15:55.720 --> 00:16:00.600 paid attention, She gave a damn Then came Sean Go. 230 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.480 It was twenty twenty two and Rachel was behind the 231 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.200 counter at a Love's gas station stacking cigarettes like she 232 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.200 did every week. When a skinny guy with a shaved 233 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.440 head strolled in and asked if they were hiring. Rachel 234 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:21.840 recognized him instantly. Sean Go, a few years older, same hometown. 235 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.399 He had that kind of reputation, the kind where you 236 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.039 don't have to know all the details, you just know 237 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.279 it wasn't good. He filled out an application. She said 238 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.360 she'd put in a word for him, and just like that, 239 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.600 despite a resume that was thinner than his hairline, Sean 240 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.919 landed the job. Working side by side, they started to 241 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:48.720 click sharing jokes, friendly banter. It wasn't long before those 242 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.519 interactions turned into something a little more. And while people 243 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.240 who knew Rachel would probably say Sean was punching way 244 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.919 above his weight, she didn't seem to care. She was, 245 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.320 after all, a kind, decent, good person. 246 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.920 She liked him. 247 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.559 Maybe she saw something in him that the rest of 248 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.319 us didn't. Maybe she was captured by that idea that 249 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.759 she could change him, you know, fix them in some way. 250 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.440 Soon Facebook got the memo selfies, hugging, kissing, that sort 251 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.559 of thing. One particular memorable shot showed a shirtless Sean 252 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.480 in the passenger seat of Rachel's jeep, flashing a tattoo 253 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:35.440 across his collarbone that read born Sinner. But if you've 254 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:40.240 been listening to us long enough, you know social media 255 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.640 is a lie, and behind every curated love story is 256 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.359 a thing. I don't even know how to describe it, 257 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.519 a truth that people don't want you to see. Within months, 258 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.079 Sean had moved in. Then he quit his job, Rachel, 259 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.799 now working forty plus hours a week, was paying all 260 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.319 the bills, playing chauffeur and supporting her new full time HouseGuest, who, 261 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.319 instead of finding work, chose to sleep in, blaze up 262 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.519 and chase SoundCloud fame. Nothing like a little clout, you know. 263 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.960 It's addictive, more addictive than a lot of hard drugs, actually, 264 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.559 And that's what Sean did, because of course he did. 265 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.720 Sean didn't have a license, he didn't have any ambition, 266 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.440 probably not much of a personality either. He didn't have 267 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.319 much of anything really, except a history and a girlfriend. 268 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.039 What Rachel probably didn't know, or didn't want to believe, 269 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.880 was that Sean's past wasn't just sketchy, it was violent. 270 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.039 In twenty sixteen, he broke into a home in Jackson 271 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.079 Township and walked off with twenty four thousand dollars in 272 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.079 stolen jewelry. Not long after that, he was caught, pleaded 273 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.519 guilty to burglary and heroin possession, and was sentenced to 274 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.079 four years behind bars. On it's out, he went right 275 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:06.039 back to the usual drugs, theft, and aggression. Soon the 276 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.480 neighbors knew who Sean was, and so did the local cops, 277 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.640 and that's so called love story. It was beginning to 278 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.359 look more like a countdown. 279 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.599 Oh yeah, I live in that building, right on the 280 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:20.039 third floor. I see and I hear it all. 281 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.799 So I've seen the nights she comes up. 282 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.839 Screaming in the parking lot. I've heard her call him 283 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.279 a dumpeeda shit. I've called him call her a dump 284 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.839 pizza shit. 285 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:31.240 But things only got worse from there. On April second, 286 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.680 twenty twenty four, Sean broke into another apartment in North Canton, 287 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.920 where he stole a handgun. The following month, he threatened 288 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.680 to shoot his girlfriend Rachel, before putting a knife through 289 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.759 the tires of her beloved Jeep. 290 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.640 I walked out of our door and her tires were slashed. 291 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.759 Like, I said, what happened to your tires? She said, 292 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.519 Sean happened to my tires. As a result of his 293 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.440 prior offenses, Sean was hit with charges related to burglary, 294 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.720 grand theft of a fire arm, domestic violence, and more. 295 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.519 Shawn never showed up to court for any of them, 296 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:10.359 of course, resulting in five active warrants. I missed those 297 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.680 days when we used to put criminals in prison. Thankfully, 298 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.680 they seemed to be coming back. It was around this 299 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.359 time when Rachel's friend started to notice the bruises on 300 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.039 her neck and arms. An employee at the BP gas 301 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.839 station that Rachel frequented would later tell police that she 302 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.160 often confided in him, especially about her abusive boyfriend. 303 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.039 Every time she would come in. 304 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.799 She you know, if she was alone or whatever, she 305 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.920 would you know, I need to get rid of them. 306 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.880 I can't. I guess the courts weren't doing anything for 307 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.839 any eviction, so you know, she would be like, I 308 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.720 can't do nothing, and I'm stuck. She said, I wanted 309 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:50.839 to get away from him. 310 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.039 Days before her disappearance, Rachel visited the store by herself, 311 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.079 but according to the witness, he knew things had gotten 312 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.279 worse after noticing an injury to her face, and. 313 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.000 She had already came in like a few days earlier. 314 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.559 She already came in with a black eye. 315 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.200 The clerk explained to the police that around one pm 316 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.839 the day before she disappeared, he saw Rachel's jeep pull 317 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.880 into the gas station, but according to his statement, he 318 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:25.440 was surprised when he saw her boyfriend Sean behind the 319 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.400 wheel and enter the store alone. 320 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.279 But it was just odd, like again because he don't 321 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.359 go nowhere. He's not driving her car ever. You know, 322 00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:39.440 you get no suspicious movements or like he was looking 323 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.960 around or nothing like that. He just came in like 324 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.960 a regular day and he lived was inside maybe. 325 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.759 Two three minutes. 326 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:50.160 Despite realizing that she was in an abusive relationship, The 327 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:55.799 shiner witnessed on Rachel's face unknowingly paled in comparison to 328 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.480 the violence that lay ahead, which is why if your 329 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.599 boyfriend ever hits you, even just once, you need to 330 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.359 call it quits right then and there. It always escalates 331 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.920 well after. 332 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.119 That day, that's when all hill broke loose. 333 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.240 That will have morning actually was when all. 334 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.039 Hell broke loose. 335 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.599 After Sean fled on foot following the traffic stop, canines 336 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:28.960 were deployed into the woods and drones flew overhead. Despite 337 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.200 the swift response of law enforcement, the dogs eventually lost 338 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.599 track of them. While the search for Sean remained ongoing, 339 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:41.240 Rachel's jeep was impounded and processed for evidence. One of 340 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.200 the first things that investigators noticed was the exterior damage 341 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.519 to the rear passenger side, as a large section of 342 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.480 plastic paneling was missing. Investigators also noticed that the cargo 343 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.039 area of the jeep was empty, bearing only the imprint 344 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.640 of a plastic floor mat that was all so missing 345 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:01.440 from the vehicle. 346 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.599 Everything that appeared to have been in the back cargo 347 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.680 area of that jeep was now in the back seat. 348 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.119 It was a bunch of blankets, it was a bunch 349 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.720 of spare tires, and one thing that really stuck out 350 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.160 was there was a shovel with dirt on it. 351 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.319 In addition to the shovel, a gray, grass stained blanket 352 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.440 was located, along with a trash bag filled with freshly 353 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.319 washed blankets. To the right of the driver's seat was 354 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:31.640 Rachel's cell phone wedged between the center console. Her wallet 355 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.519 and journal were found on the passenger seat, which contained 356 00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:40.480 several recent handwritten entries. A few hours later, authorities received 357 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.519 a tip that a man matching the suspect's description had 358 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.559 attempted to rip a woman out of her vehicle at 359 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.400 a body shop and Canton. After failing to obtain a 360 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.720 getaway car, the suspect took off again on foot. The 361 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.880 incident was captured on surveillance, but by the time the 362 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.000 cops got there, Sean had gotten away again. 363 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.839 Sheriff's deputies searching Star County looking for twenty four year 364 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.119 old Rachel share it In. She was reported missing on 365 00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.880 Tuesday by her mother after she didn't show up for work. 366 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.440 Investigators then started to pull surveillance video from other local 367 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.759 businesses in the area. Less than twenty four hours after 368 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.799 Sean ran from police, CCTV cameras captured him at a 369 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:28.000 McDonald's in Canton just before seven thirty pm on the 370 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:32.079 evening of July first. Sean was seen wearing a white 371 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.119 T shirt behind the wheel of Rachel's red jeet. He 372 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.000 appeared to be alone while waiting in the drive through lane. 373 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.839 After grabbing his burger or Happy Meal through the window, 374 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.720 Surveillance showed him pull around to the opposite side of 375 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.759 the building, where he proceeds to enjoy his meal delicious. 376 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.680 You just love McDonald's. I like the Fialleo fish. I 377 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.440 think I'm one of the only people. Almost around an 378 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.680 hour later, the red jeep backs out of the parking 379 00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.640 spot before exiting the camera's frame. Despite all of this 380 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:13.319 digital evidence that the investigators were actively gathering, Rachel was 381 00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:18.400 still missing and her boyfriend Sean was still at large. 382 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.559 Right now. Sheriff's office are searching for him, they say 383 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.480 if you have any information about either Go or Sheridan, 384 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.279 or where either of them might be located, they ask 385 00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:31.160 you to contact the Star County Sheriff's office. 386 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.680 For a while, Sean Gough managed to stay ahead of 387 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:39.599 the game, ducking cameras, dodging cops, and laying low. But 388 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:42.720 it doesn't matter how many times you've watched the Fugitive. 389 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.680 That sort of thing doesn't last forever. And on the 390 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:50.559 night of July third, his time ran out. A call 391 00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:54.519 came into the Canton PD from the Higher Upset Refuge 392 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:58.279 of Hope, a local homeless shelter. The guy in the 393 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:02.240 line was the shelter's director, and he sounded a little panicked. 394 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.319 One of his employees had just called him saying that 395 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.839 a man had walked through the front door who looked 396 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:13.119 exactly like the guy flooding everyone's feed from the recent 397 00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:17.680 BOLO alerts, you know, the one that police were actively hunting. 398 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.480 That man was, of course, Sean Go. The employee had 399 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.480 recognized him immediately. She kept her cool, stepped into a 400 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:31.680 nearby office and called her boss. He called the cops, 401 00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:36.880
