And Ben's always a little chili. Not 111 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.680 to get too far off what I already started as 112 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:40.240 our story. 113 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.680 I have a lot of questions about this story. I 114 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.839 know you do. I don't you can answer. 115 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.360 I hope I can answer some of them too. Okay, 116 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.439 So we have Mary Anne. She's going to go see 117 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.199 her sister, Pat, who is a married mother of three 118 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.879 young children. While she's driving over there, she has this 119 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.720 intense feeling of dread. When she arrives at Pat's house, 120 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.360 she finds her children unattended. Her daughter told Marianne that 121 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.079 she was sleeping in the bedroom. It's never a good sign. 122 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.439 I loved that the daughter had pulled up a chair, 123 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.079 she said, to the sink, and it was like overflowing 124 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.160 with dishes and water. And the daughter was just like 125 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.480 having a heyday playing in the water. 126 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.879 But I saw that and it made my anxiety and 127 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.120 go away us. I was like, oh my gosh, please 128 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.279 stop this, please stop. 129 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.360 And she's like there was water everywhere, it was all 130 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:39.079 over the floor, and I thought that girl's gotta be 131 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:39.920 fun to hang out with. 132 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.639 I was sadly. 133 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:50.000 Maryanne finds her sister Pat unconscious on the bed and 134 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.439 she's rushed to the hospital. Doctors determined that she had 135 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.360 an aneurysm that was blocking the flow to Pat's brain. 136 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.600 Were once again in the world like crazy brain surgeries, 137 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.639 and this was even this was nineteen sixty seven brain surgery. 138 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.920 Well, they said they clamped her artery in her neck. 139 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:19.759 Huh yeah, so a risky surgery is done, as Ben said, 140 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.879 in which an artery in her neck had to be 141 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.240 clamped off. I thought that those arteries were there for 142 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.160 a reason. Isn't one of your arteries in your neck, like, 143 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.959 if it gets cut, we got a problem. 144 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.480 Well, if you've had an ANDWSM brain you're already having 145 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.039 because that's the blood flow to your brain. You're already 146 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.120 having problem. 147 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.279 But then you're clamping it so that there's less blood 148 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.240 flow going. That's counter I'm not a doctor, you're not 149 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:49.320 you're not a neurosurgeon. 150 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.639 I'm not. That's unfortunate, but I don't think I could 151 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.480 be wrong. I don't know if that's how they do 152 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.679 it now. I don't know that. 153 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.000 If you work in the world of neurosurgery, please write 154 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.720 in and let us know, because I've never heard of 155 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.440 this in my life, and I had brain surgery, and 156 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.279 we've now covered a brain surgery. I had a cousin 157 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.679 who like a tumor like I've known. If you have 158 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.080 never heard of this procedure. 159 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.399 In nineteen sixty seven, yeah, we've come a long way 160 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:20.320 in the medical world. 161 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.799 But according to the doctors, the surgery was successful except 162 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.399 one teeny tiny little complication. When she awakes, she has 163 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.559 zero clue who she is. She couldn't recognize her sister, 164 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.440 her husband, or her children. 165 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.440 Did you notice that they did not use the word 166 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.759 amnesia in this story. 167 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.679 Yes, that means I hadn't been invented yet. 168 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.639 Yes, but Robert Stack is telling the story, and. 169 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.600 He loves amnesia. It's his favorite thing. 170 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.679 Here. We actually have amnesia. Yes, yes, the last one 171 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.159 I and said it was amnesia. 172 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.600 This one even seems like it's a more severe case 173 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.360 of it. So, you guys, she had to be taught 174 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.879 how to even eat and walk again. It's not like 175 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.360 she woke up and kind of had like the last 176 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.799 lady lost sixteen years. This woman regresses into like it seems. 177 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.679 She seems to be almost nonverbal, she cannot lost brain damage, Yes, 178 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.559 she can't eat. Her husband chooses at this moment. 179 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.120 That he's out, and this kind said douche. 180 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:36.639 I know, he files for divorce and takes custody of 181 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.080 her children and just pieces out, leaving her to rebuild 182 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.720 and recover her life on her own. So he's a loser. 183 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.039 In November of nineteen sixty eight, a woman who was 184 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.320 hired to care for Pat called her sister Mary Anne 185 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.799 and tells her Pat is missing and seems to have 186 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:09.200 wandered off dot dot dot Six weeks later, six weeks, 187 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.000 that's a lot of weeks. 188 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.519 It's a long time. 189 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.279 Yeah, she's picked up for vagrancy, which I think is 190 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.759 just kind of like being homeless and just wandering around 191 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.600 right in Alabama. 192 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.960 We're in Texas, Okay. 193 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.799 Yeah, So Marianne immediately like gets in the car and 194 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.840 she's she's interviewed. Her sister's interviewed on this episode of 195 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.519 Unsolved Mysteries, and she tells us like, she drives all night, 196 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.480 like through the night to get to you. Did you 197 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:43.559 get my song reference? 198 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.320 I didn't. 199 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:51.320 I drove all night to get to you. Have you 200 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.360 heard that song before? 201 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.720 It's not ringing any balance? 202 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.360 Well, I sang it perfectly. 203 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.840 I know you didn't you? 204 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.600 Once again, people, it's the radio didn't just turn on? 205 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.279 That was me. 206 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.399 I know You're perfect every way. 207 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.799 Anyways, I thought that was gonna be better what. 208 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:11.440 I did. 209 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.919 It's called it drove all night. 210 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.159 Hold on, I'll look at you love telling the story. 211 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.919 By the time she picks her up, she claims that 212 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.080 she doesn't even remember how she got to Alabama. So 213 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.480 it's very clear that Pet's not only struggling with like 214 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.320 long term memory, she's even struggling with short term memory. 215 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:37.600 So later on, Pat meets a construction worker and sparks 216 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.679 fly and his name is Troy Carlton and he's a 217 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.840 friend of Maryanna and Marian's husband, and they actually start dating, 218 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:51.679 and they date for several months and they are married 219 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.480 on January third, nineteen sixty nine. 220 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:56.759 I liked him. 221 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.759 I actually thought that this man, because you guys were 222 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:04.600 going to learn that. He doesn't actually really learn of 223 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.159 her medical problems until like shortly before they get married. 224 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.759 And he says it didn't deter him. He actually felt 225 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.840 more love for her because he felt a sense and 226 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.320 need to take care of her and then felt empathy 227 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.639 for her, and like it just added this different level 228 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.240 into their relationship. 229 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.039 All right, are you ready? Yeah? 230 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.120 You can only play like three seconds, so we're gonna 231 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:29.559 get flagged for a violation. 232 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:38.759 Celine Dionne, is this it?

Alright? I have a feeling it's going to 237 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.759 say something about making. 238 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:13.240 Love, crept in your rooms, woke you from your sleep. 239 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.240 I forgot about that line.

It's a 248 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.639 hundredth episode. 249 00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.320 We can do whatever the f we want. 250 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.799 It's our podcast. 251 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.559 Yeah, but I'm gonna have to edit out most if 252 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.720 you guys are listening to this, I've literally only kept 253 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.480 three seconds of the Slingdon song, and because I don't 254 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.480 want to get copyright issues. O my word, it's oh 255 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.360 trust me. They come after you pretty hard with that. 256 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.000 And I know by the way I sing, people are 257 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.320 already gonna flag it for poppy, right, So I got 258 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.000 to be extra carey. 259 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.679 I've never heard this song, you've never heard I'm one. 260 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.879 I never heard this song on my life. 261 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:30.360 I was a big Slindon fan. Still am okay, so 262 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.320 we Pat is also interviewed on Unsolved Mysteries, and he 263 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.279 tells us he kind of gives us their backstory, their 264 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:40.200 love story. Like I said, he appears by all means 265 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.639 to be one of the kindest men we've seen interviewed 266 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:47.879 on unsolved mysteries. So he starts encouraging her to fight 267 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.879 for custody of her children. Uh. The court hearing is 268 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:56.919 scheduled for May nineteen sixty nine. Sadly, a week before 269 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.200 the hearing, Troy comes home on his lunch break and 270 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.480 he says, he came home on his lunch break every 271 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.080 single day. 272 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:02.960 I'm going to guess. 273 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.919 He comes home to check in on her and he 274 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:13.279 finds that pat is gone. She had left without her purse, 275 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.679 her wallet, her money, and her car keys. Everything is 276 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.360 gone at this moment in time. He calls his sister 277 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.600 in law to only find out that this is not 278 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.799 the first time she's gone missing. They did not tell him. 279 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.480 They gave him her medical history, but they never informed 280 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.360 him that she had a history of kind of wandering 281 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.440 off and then not being able to remember where she is, 282 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.919 who she is, and how to get back home. So 283 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:57.840 he searches you guys for three weeks for his missing wife, 284 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.679 and she has sided on the other side out of Houston, 285 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.200 so she didn't get as far this time. He immediately 286 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.000 drops everything gets in his car. He doesn't have to 287 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.720 drive all night like Celine Dion or like his sister 288 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.880 in law, he just drives across him and picks her up, 289 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:20.519 and she once again cannot explain who, what, where, when why? 290 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.039 The last three weeks of her life have looked like so. 291 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.759 Over the next year, Pat wanders off seven more times, 292 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.519 and the last time she left was January fourteenth, nineteen 293 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.680 seventy one, two years after her marriage to Troy. She 294 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.799 carried no identification and no money with her. 295 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.440 I feel bad for both here, I feel bad for everyone. 296 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:50.440 I don't think she's they had the ability to find 297 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.799 out exactly what was going on. 298 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.319 She's wandering. It's clear from this brain surgery shit like 299 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.519 she is mentally ill. 300 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.599 She can't really seem to get a sense of getting back. 301 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.440 I'm not saying mentally like. I'm just saying she's had 302 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.839 something and her brain is not is broken, it's not 303 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.559 working properly. It's how terrifying can that be? And this 304 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.799 poor man is trying to care for his wife in 305 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:22.000 seven different times every day You have to nothing for 306 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.039 every day you're coming home not knowing if your wife 307 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.000 is going to be there. 308 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.400 Or not, seven times over a year. 309 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.240 And then she will go missing on weeks on end 310 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.640 and you can't find her, and it's not there's no internet, 311 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.079 there's no well and you have to. 312 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.519 Hope if someone run into her, does someone take advantage 313 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.599 of her exactly like you don't know, And she seems 314 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.039 to come back from these wanderings and has no memory. 315 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:46.000 Of what is and that can't tell you what happened. Yeah, 316 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.440 it's just fine. It breaks off from everyone involved, yeah everyone. 317 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:57.240 Yeah, so sadly for this last time she wanders off. 318 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.599 No one knows where she is, and thirteen months go 319 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.039 by without a single trace of her, and then a 320 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.480 little clue surfaces. A welfare office in San Diego, California. 321 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.279 Seems like she had been staying there and was able 322 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.559 to give a welfare worker her maiden name and her birthplace. 323 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.480 But once again, because records are what they are back then, 324 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.079 there is no Internet, there is no like deep search. 325 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.640 The worker is able to find one person by that 326 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.160 name and like that county or that town that matches, 327 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:34.519 and is able to contact her aunt in Birmingham, Alabama. However, 328 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.880 for some reason, the only line we get is her 329 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.559 aunt believed that she was still in Houston and did 330 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:41.759 nothing to follow up. 331 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.160 What we don't get a lot of information I don't 332 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.119 know what happened. 333 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.839 Then and dropped the ball big time because sadly, that's 334 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:58.799 the last reported sighting of Pat like, we get nothing 335 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:06.319 until nineteen seventy seven, she was arrested in Seattle, Washington. However, 336 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.039 she's not been seen since. Troy eventually remarried in nineteen 337 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.799 seventy five, but remains fully supportive. His wife remains fully 338 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.680 supportive of his search for her, and he gives this 339 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.279 very sweet story because we're they're being interviewed now, like 340 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:24.799 twenty something years later. 341 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.559 Yeah, he's saying, twenty two, I went on. 342 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.799 I married an amazing woman. I helped her raise her 343 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.359 two children. I had one biological child of my own. 344 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.960 I could not ask for my life to be any better. 345 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.519 The one missing piece is all I want to know 346 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:43.839 is that this woman that I loved and cared for, 347 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.119 what happened to her? Is she safe? Is she okay? 348 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.119 Is she happy? Because she deserves all of those things? 349 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:54.880 And he was a good man. 350 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.799 He was a very good man, and so that is 351 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:01.319 kind of where unsolved mystery leaves us. 352 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.480 All right, updated, okay? Is the way I got question? 353 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:04.759 Yes? 354 00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.319 Solved? Yes. 355 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.920 Sadly, Troy, though passed away in nineteen ninety seven without 356 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.680 ever finding pet. He passed away before she was found. 357 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.880 What Yep, she was located alive and safe living in 358 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:27.559 San Francisco, California, in two thousand and four, thirty years 359 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:32.279 after she disappeared. Did I say, I said San Francisco, 360 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.920 not San Diego, San Francisco, California. I can't remember what I. 361 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.839 Said, but earlier she was in San that she had been. 362 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.440 In San Diego, but now in two thousand and four 363 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.599 she was located in San Francisco. She had lost a 364 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.240 ton of her memories and ended up actually having like 365 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.640 another couple of strokes which caused even more memory losses 366 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:57.920 and issues. And when she was found, she was actually 367 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.880 able to recognize her two sisters, but I don't think 368 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.160 she had the ability to name them, but seeing their 369 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.319 faces she did find them to be familiar, and in 370 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.920 October she was reunited with them, her two sisters and 371 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.200 her children. Pat's family reported that she is now safely 372 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.160 living with them, so they moved her into their home 373 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:23.359 with them and has not wandered off since. Sadly, Marianne 374 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.599 passed away in two thousand and five and Barbara passed 375 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.200 away in twenty twenty. 376 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.799 So I looked to Barbara. She was a missing she 377 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.920 passed away in twenty two. 378 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.799 Yeah, so I looked, there's not The family never really 379 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.960 came out and released anything on where and who went 380 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.400 where and why during that time span. I think part 381 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.359 of that was because due to her two additional strokes 382 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.119 and her memory loss, there was almost nothing to piece together. 383 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:01.240 But his the thing. I think there's always the fear 384 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:07.400 that someone took advantage or someone did it, harmed her. Yeah. 385 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.279 When I it's like, sometimes you find out that she 386 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:19.240 was possibly found, Yeah, that's good news. And then it 387 00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:23.880 was very clear that if she was still alive the 388 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.720 way they tell the story, if she was still alive, 389 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.720 it wasn't because she just decided, I don't like these 390 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.240 people anymore. I don't want anything to do with this life. 391 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:38.200 I want to disappear. She was doing things not knowing, 392 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:39.240 and she. 393 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.599 Probably lived in survival mode, welfare to wear affair, state 394 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.319 program to state program, charity to charity. 395 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.440 Was she was found, she's a victim, the victim of her. 396 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:54.160 Of her illness, of her own Yeah, disability, and. 397 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.119 That disability unfortunately caused her to go where she ever. 398 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.799 She went to aditional strokes. 399 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.920 Yeah, I mean, like I've, like I said already, this 400 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.799 is a terrible, sad story for everyone involved. 401 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:13.559
