Speaker 1: All right, so today I'm going to be making a
0:02
Speaker 1: very special announcement at some point in this YouTube video.

0:10
Speaker 1: going to be adding something to the ball in universe,
0:13
Speaker 1: so be sure you stick around to hear today's announcement. Today,
0:18
Speaker 1: I'm going to share three totally bizarre missing person stories.
0:22
Speaker 1: But before we get into those stories, if you're a

0:44
Speaker 1: so you don't miss any of our weekly uploads. Okay,
0:47
Speaker 1: let's get into today's stories. On the afternoon of October eleventh,
1:06
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, a middle aged man named Carlos Herrera Senior
1:10
Speaker 1: entered the visitation area of a prison in Venezuela. The
1:13
Speaker 1: room itself sort of looked like a high school cafeteria
1:16
Speaker 1: with tables and chairs everywhere for the inmates and their
1:19
Speaker 1: visitors to sit down and have their meetings. And right
1:21
Speaker 1: in front of one was one table where there was
1:24
Speaker 1: this bedraggled looking prisoner who he was there to meet.
1:27
Speaker 1: As one got closer to this guy, he could see
1:29
Speaker 1: he really looked terrible the inmate. I mean, his cheekbones
1:32
Speaker 1: were sticking out, he was sort of emaciated, he was
1:35
Speaker 1: bloodied and bruised, he had bandages on his arm. And
1:38
Speaker 1: also as one moved towards the sky, he could clearly
1:41
Speaker 1: see all the guards that line the walls and the
1:43
Speaker 1: exits of this visitation area sort of squirm with discomfort,
1:47
Speaker 1: you know, as this meeting is about to take place.
1:49
Speaker 1: And one had a good idea why these guards might
1:52
Speaker 1: be anxious. And that's because over the past month, this
1:55
Speaker 1: prison had been on lockdown because a gang inside the
1:58
Speaker 1: prison had risen up and overpowered the guards and completely
2:02
Speaker 1: taken over for this entire month. And just to be clear,
2:04
Speaker 1: I mean during this month, people died as a result
2:07
Speaker 1: of this takeover. I mean, this was a horrible month
2:10
Speaker 1: for this prison. And it was only over the past
2:12
Speaker 1: couple of days that the guards were finally able to
2:15
Speaker 1: take back control. And One knew all this not only
2:18
Speaker 1: because this riot was all over the news while it
2:20
Speaker 1: was going on, but also because his own son, One Junior,
2:24
Speaker 1: was serving time in this prison for robbery. He had
2:27
Speaker 1: been for the past year. However, One Senior was not
2:30
Speaker 1: coming to visit his son right now. Instead, he was
2:33
Speaker 1: coming to visit a different prisoner because during this riot,
2:36
Speaker 1: Wan Junior had just disappeared, and One Senior, when he
2:40
Speaker 1: had found out about that, had called prison officials, other people, politicians,
2:44
Speaker 1: you name it, to try to figure out where his
2:46
Speaker 1: son went, but nobody seemed to know. And so finally
2:50
Speaker 1: he had found this one prisoner, the guy he was
2:53
Speaker 1: meeting today, this beaten down looking guy, who had agreed
2:56
Speaker 1: to come forward and tell Wan Senior what he knew
2:59
Speaker 1: about what happened to One Junior. And so One sat
3:02
Speaker 1: down at this table with this prisoner, and after the
3:04
Speaker 1: two of them introduced themselves very quickly, One Senior said, please, like,
3:08
Speaker 1: tell me what happened to my son where is he?
3:10
Speaker 1: But this prisoner he was talking to didn't immediately get
3:13
Speaker 1: into sort of a clear story about One Junior. This
3:17
Speaker 1: guy began talking about a totally separate prisoner, a man
3:20
Speaker 1: named Doron Hell Vargas. Vargas was notorious across Venezuela for
3:25
Speaker 1: a series of brutal murders he committed that ultimately put
3:28
Speaker 1: him in this prison, And during this recent riot at
3:31
Speaker 1: this prison, it was Vargas and his gang that rose
3:34
Speaker 1: up and took over. Like Vargas was in charge effectively
3:38
Speaker 1: of the riot. And so even though he was terrorizing
3:41
Speaker 1: people and brutalizing people and was very much responsible for
3:44
Speaker 1: the deaths of multiple inmates, he also at the same
3:47
Speaker 1: time did have to make sure that, you know, the
3:49
Speaker 1: people he was in charge of, albeit illegally, had enough food,
3:53
Speaker 1: they had enough supplies, that they had the things they
3:55
Speaker 1: needed to survive, and so again he sort of like
3:58
Speaker 1: dictatorial and but also you know, ensuring people have basic resources.
4:03
Speaker 1: And so one senior is listening to this man sort
4:05
Speaker 1: of lay this out about Vargas and sort of how
4:08
Speaker 1: he was in control during this riot, and one senior
4:10
Speaker 1: is like, I just don't get it. Why are you
4:12
Speaker 1: explaining the nuances of what he was doing during the riot,
4:16
Speaker 1: And this prisoner very quickly pointed to the bandage on
4:18
Speaker 1: his arm and kind of pointed at all of his
4:20
Speaker 1: injuries that were very obvious. And he told one senior
4:23
Speaker 1: that if anybody got in the way of Vargas while
4:26
Speaker 1: he was in charge during this riot, they were basically
4:30
Speaker 1: beaten to within an inch of their lives. And again
4:32
Speaker 1: in some cases people were killed. I mean, this was
4:34
Speaker 1: a brutal regime. And so one senior was like, oh,
4:37
Speaker 1: my goodness, is that what happened to my son? Was
4:39
Speaker 1: he beaten like you by Vargas. But at that point
4:42
Speaker 1: the prisoner just shook his head and said no. And
4:45
Speaker 1: then he looked down and almost like couldn't make eye
4:47
Speaker 1: contact with one senior, and he just said, what happened
4:51
Speaker 1: to your son was much worse. The prisoner would tell
4:54
Speaker 1: one senior that at some point during the riot, his son,
4:57
Speaker 1: one junior, was tapped by Vargas to help with something.
5:01
Speaker 1: Now it's not clear if Junior went willingly or he
5:03
Speaker 1: was coerced, but we know that basically everybody had to
5:06
Speaker 1: do what Vargas asked them to do, otherwise they would
5:09
Speaker 1: be beaten or even killed. And so ultimately Junior agrees
5:14
Speaker 1: to help Vargus, and the thing he was tapped to
5:16
Speaker 1: help Bargus with was distributing food to the inmates, because remember,
5:20
Speaker 1: despite how brutal Vargas was, he was in charge of
5:23
Speaker 1: providing basic necessities to all the inmates. And because of
5:26
Speaker 1: this riot, the prison had been locked down and so
5:29
Speaker 1: food supplies had been restricted, and so inmates are beginning
5:32
Speaker 1: to starve. There's this big food shortage, and so Junior
5:35
Speaker 1: was told like, hey, you need to help us provide
5:38
Speaker 1: food to these inmates, and so Junior basically agreed to
5:41
Speaker 1: do it, at which point he was informed exactly what
5:44
Speaker 1: role he was playing in finding food. Instead of going
5:48
Speaker 1: out and looking for this food, Junior was the food.
5:52
Speaker 1: Vargas and his gang corner Junior beat him to death,
5:55
Speaker 1: butchered his body and then literally fed him to the inmates.
5:59
Speaker 1: That's what happened to one's son. After hearing this horrific story,
6:03
Speaker 1: one Senior was destroyed, and one of the first things
6:06
Speaker 1: he did is he went public and had this big
6:08
Speaker 1: press conference to tell the world about what happened to
6:11
Speaker 1: his son. But despite there being many eyewitness accounts, ultimately
6:15
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan government denied the cannibalism and nobody was ever
6:19
Speaker 1: held accountable. Deron hel Vargas remains incarcerated and he's never
6:23
Speaker 1: been charged with any crimes connected to Junior's disappearance. Okay,
6:33
Speaker 1: as promised, here is today's special announcement. As of right now,
6:37
Speaker 1: we have a brand new show, a history podcast. But wait,
6:43
Speaker 1: it's not like a boring history show. This is not
6:46
Speaker 1: like you know when you were in school and you
6:47
Speaker 1: had to sit through lectures about something that happened hundreds
6:50
Speaker 1: thousands of years ago. It's not that we're gonna pull
6:53
Speaker 1: from history, but we're gonna tell the true stories behind
6:57
Speaker 1: moments in history. We're gonna give you story that feel
7:01
Speaker 1: like mister Ball and stories with plot twists and crazy
7:04
Speaker 1: point of views. It's going to be classic ball and storytelling.
7:09
Speaker 1: But again, historical is the context here. Let me give
7:12
Speaker 1: you an example. So if you look back and try
7:15
Speaker 1: to identify the first time true crime sort of became
7:19
Speaker 1: a thing that the public was suddenly interested in a
7:22
Speaker 1: case that really had nothing to do with them, just
7:24
Speaker 1: because it was entertaining. That case would be about this
7:27
Speaker 1: murderer who escaped, and that's kind of all that's available
7:30
Speaker 1: if you look it up, Bob Yep escape murder. That's
7:32
Speaker 1: when true crime became a thing. But did you know
7:35
Speaker 1: that that case the escaped murderer was way more compelling
7:39
Speaker 1: and exciting than most people give it credit for. People
7:42
Speaker 1: were interested at the time because there was this crazy
7:45
Speaker 1: transatlantic boat chase and there was this crazy hunt for
7:48
Speaker 1: the killer, and the killing itself was so grizzly, and
7:51
Speaker 1: that story really doesn't get told much. It's just kind
7:54
Speaker 1: of a statistic in a history book. And so what
7:56
Speaker 1: this podcast does is it finds cases like that actually
8:00
Speaker 1: shows you why history is so cool and so interesting.
8:03
Speaker 1: And that's just episode one. So this new history podcast
8:07
Speaker 1: is called a Twist of History and it's live right now.
8:11
Speaker 1: So go to any platform where you get your podcasts
8:13
Speaker 1: and look up a Twist of History or just search
8:16
Speaker 1: for ball In Studios and you can find it that way.
8:18
Speaker 1: You know, follow the show and tune in each week,
8:21
Speaker 1: and if you really want to give us a five
8:22
Speaker 1: star review, the show is totally free. New episodes every Wednesday.
8:26
Speaker 1: Oh and one more thing, be sure to stick around
8:29
Speaker 1: till the end of today's YouTube video for a sneak
8:31
Speaker 1: peek of episode one. At around eight pm on August nineteenth,
8:44
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, a twelve year old boy named Raymundo
8:47
Speaker 1: Marfa de Silva sat near the fireplace in the main
8:51
Speaker 1: room of a shack in rural Brazil. Raymundo lived in
8:53
Speaker 1: the shack with his father, Rivelino, as well as his
8:56
Speaker 1: two younger brothers, who were fast asleep in their beds
8:58
Speaker 1: inside of this main room him only a few feet away.
9:01
Speaker 1: Raymundo and his family were very, very poor. I mean,
9:04
Speaker 1: the shack was very small. It was only composed of
9:07
Speaker 1: two rooms, the main room he was in right now,
9:09
Speaker 1: and also the kitchen, which was connected by a single door.
9:12
Speaker 1: And they were truly like out in the middle of
9:14
Speaker 1: nowhere in Brazil. They had no electricity, basically no money.
9:17
Speaker 1: I mean, they really had almost nothing. And so that night,
9:20
Speaker 1: as Raymundo sat by the fire just kind of quiet,
9:23
Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't really much else to do here,
9:25
Speaker 1: his father, Rivellino, came into the room from the kitchen
9:28
Speaker 1: and he sat down next to him, and the two
9:31
Speaker 1: just sat there quietly, you know, periodically poking at the
9:33
Speaker 1: fire with a stick and just sitting there and joining
9:36
Speaker 1: the silence, doing their best not to wake up the
9:38
Speaker 1: two younger brothers. And as these two were sitting there,
9:41
Speaker 1: suddenly Raymundo heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen,
9:45
Speaker 1: and so he turned his attention and he looked into
9:47
Speaker 1: the dark kitchen and he saw this dark figure on
9:50
Speaker 1: all fours, quickly kind of maneuvering across the ground out
9:53
Speaker 1: of sight. And immediately Raymundo's terrified. He has no idea
9:56
Speaker 1: what this is, and so instinctively turns to his dad,
10:00
Speaker 1: and his dad is also staring at the kitchen, wide eyed,
10:03
Speaker 1: clearly having seen the same thing. And then before Raymundo
10:07
Speaker 1: could do anything, his dad jumped up and slammed the
10:10
Speaker 1: door shut, separating them from the kitchen, and locked it.
10:13
Speaker 1: And at that point, the two younger brothers they've woken up,
10:15
Speaker 1: and all four of them were looking at each other,
10:17
Speaker 1: like what's going on? And Raymundo he says to his dad,
10:20
Speaker 1: what was that? Now it was clear that Revellino was
10:23
Speaker 1: very unsettled by whatever this was. I mean, they didn't
10:25
Speaker 1: have pets. There was no other people inside of their shack,
10:29
Speaker 1: like there shouldn't be anything alive inside of the shack
10:32
Speaker 1: beyond them. So he doesn't know what it is. He's scared,
10:36
Speaker 1: but he tells his boys it's okay, you know, it's
10:38
Speaker 1: all right. You know, I don't know what that is.
10:40
Speaker 1: But let's just stay here. We're safe. The door is locked,
10:43
Speaker 1: you know, we're all here, we're safe. And so the
10:45
Speaker 1: boys they all just kind of trusted their dad and
10:46
Speaker 1: everybody just kind of hunkered down together and just sat
10:49
Speaker 1: there quietly, kind of waiting to see if they would
10:51
Speaker 1: hear anything else. And for a little while they heard nothing.
10:55
Speaker 1: There were no more sounds coming from the kitchen. But
10:57
Speaker 1: eventually Revellino and his sons to hear voices, and they
11:01
Speaker 1: were coming from outside the shack, and at first they
11:03
Speaker 1: couldn't really tell what these voices were saying. They were
11:06
Speaker 1: kind of garbled, but eventually they all began to hear
11:09
Speaker 1: the same thing. Whoever was out there or whatever was
11:12
Speaker 1: out there was talking about Revealino specifically. They could hear
11:17
Speaker 1: that name, and what they were kind of saying is,
11:19
Speaker 1: if Revellino comes out here, we're going to kill it.
11:23
Speaker 1: And the moment that all the boys sort of picked
11:25
Speaker 1: up the fact that somebody's out there and they're threatening
11:28
Speaker 1: to harm Revellino, they're all like, Dad, what do we do?
11:31
Speaker 1: What do we do? And Revealino, I mean, he's hearing
11:33
Speaker 1: this too, but he tells his boys it's okay, you know,
11:36
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on out there, but clearly
11:38
Speaker 1: somebody is playing a cruel joke on us. This is
11:41
Speaker 1: this is a prank. This can't be real. And so
11:43
Speaker 1: Revealino told his sons their plan is, they're just gonna
11:46
Speaker 1: stay put. They're in this room, they're safe, the door
11:49
Speaker 1: is locked. We're gonna wait until the sun comes up,
11:51
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out who did this, who's playing
11:54
Speaker 1: this prank on us. And so sure enough, Revealino and
11:57
Speaker 1: his sons would stay in their room, barely sleep it
12:00
Speaker 1: all the way until six am when the sun began
12:02
Speaker 1: to come up again. And at that point, Revellino told
12:05
Speaker 1: his sons to stay put and he was going to
12:07
Speaker 1: go out there and investigate, you know. And by this point,
12:10
Speaker 1: they had stopped hearing voices, you know, there were no
12:12
Speaker 1: more sounds coming from the kitchen. It sort of felt
12:15
Speaker 1: like whatever that was, whoever that was, had passed. And so,
12:18
Speaker 1: you know, the tension is gone, and the boys are like, okay,
12:20
Speaker 1: you know, be careful out their dad. And so Revealino
12:22
Speaker 1: he walks over to the door that leads into the kitchen.
12:25
Speaker 1: He unlocks it, opens it up, and Raymundo, you know,
12:27
Speaker 1: he's craning his neck looking into the kitchen, but you know,
12:30
Speaker 1: he can't see anything moving around in there, even with
12:32
Speaker 1: the light coming in, and so Revealino he says, okay,
12:35
Speaker 1: boys stay here, and Reveleno goes out into the kitchen
12:38
Speaker 1: and shuts the door behind him. And while he's out there,
12:41
Speaker 1: Raymundo and his brothers they're all listening anxiously, you know,
12:44
Speaker 1: making sure their dad's not in trouble. But they just
12:46
Speaker 1: hear the sound of their dad just clearly walking around
12:48
Speaker 1: the kitchen. There's no commotion, there's nothing. And then a
12:51
Speaker 1: couple of minutes later, Revealino comes back into the main
12:55
Speaker 1: room where the boys are and he's got a knife
12:56
Speaker 1: in hand, but he tells him, you know it's okay.
12:59
Speaker 1: You know, I got this from the kitchen. I'm just
13:00
Speaker 1: just in case there's nothing out here. I'm now going
13:03
Speaker 1: to go outside and just make sure nobody's outside the hut. Okay,
13:07
Speaker 1: so again, stay put, I'll be right back. And so
13:10
Speaker 1: again the boys, they're looking at their dad like, okay,
13:12
Speaker 1: we'll see you soon. Revellino walked out again into the kitchen.
13:15
Speaker 1: He shut the door behind him, and then the boys
13:17
Speaker 1: heard the sound of the door that led outside open up,
13:21
Speaker 1: and then presumably Revealino went outside, and that was the
13:25
Speaker 1: last time the boys ever spoke to their father. Six
13:30
Speaker 1: months later, on March tenth, nineteen sixty three, five men
13:33
Speaker 1: were out hunting in the wilderness not far from Raymundo's
13:36
Speaker 1: family shack, and at some point they came across this
13:39
Speaker 1: huge boulder, and this boulder had a big crevice in it,
13:43
Speaker 1: like a big gap in this rock. And one of
13:45
Speaker 1: the hunters happened to walk past it and looked into
13:47
Speaker 1: this crevice, and they found a skeleton, and that skeleton
13:51
Speaker 1: belonged to Rivelino, Raymundo's father. But that was not the
13:55
Speaker 1: end of the story, far from it. So on the
13:57
Speaker 1: day that Revealino stepped out the front door and then
14:00
Speaker 1: was never heard from again, Raymundo and his brothers had
14:03
Speaker 1: been instructed by their dad to stay put while Ribelino
14:06
Speaker 1: went out looking around. But Raymundo just felt really nervous
14:09
Speaker 1: after his dad had stepped out the front door and
14:11
Speaker 1: had presumably stepped outside, so he defied his father. He
14:15
Speaker 1: opened up the door that led to the kitchen, and
14:17
Speaker 1: as soon as he did, he looked towards the door
14:19
Speaker 1: that led outside and he saw it was wide open,
14:22
Speaker 1: and he saw his dad stepping into this huge cloud
14:26
Speaker 1: of yellow smoke, and amidst this smoke were these like
14:30
Speaker 1: cylindrical objects that were floating in the air, spinning around
14:33
Speaker 1: in a circle, seemingly spitting out the smoke. And Raymundo
14:37
Speaker 1: he had no idea what he was looking at, but
14:39
Speaker 1: he saw his dad just kind of walking into this cloud,
14:43
Speaker 1: and then the smoke got so bad it totally obscured
14:46
Speaker 1: his dad. His dad was gone, and so Raymundo yelled
14:49
Speaker 1: out for his dad, like Dad, where are you going?
14:51
Speaker 1: And he charged towards his father to try to stop him.
14:54
Speaker 1: He just felt like, you can't go out there. But
14:55
Speaker 1: as soon as Raymundo went out into the yellow smoke,
14:58
Speaker 1: the smoke just dissipated, the cell disappeared, and as soon
15:01
Speaker 1: as it was all gone, his dad was gone too.
15:04
Speaker 1: Raymundo sprinted around his house, calling out for his dad,
15:07
Speaker 1: looking everywhere, but there was no sign of him. And
15:10
Speaker 1: so quickly Raymundo and his brothers alerted authorities and they
15:13
Speaker 1: launched the search for him. And for days they combed
15:17
Speaker 1: the area near that boulder as well, and they couldn't
15:20
Speaker 1: find Revellino, and so Eventually they abandoned the search, and
15:24
Speaker 1: then six months later, his body was magically found in
15:29
Speaker 1: that crevice. To this day, nobody knows what actually happened
15:33
Speaker 1: to Revellino and how he wound up inside of that
15:35
Speaker 1: rock crevice. Also, people have no idea what that dark
15:38
Speaker 1: figure was skittering across their kitchen floor the night before
15:42
Speaker 1: Revelino went missing, or who those voices were threatening to
15:45
Speaker 1: kill Rivellino, or the objects that Raymundo apparently saw floating
15:49
Speaker 1: in the sky spitting out yellow smoke. Nobody has any
15:52
Speaker 1: idea what any of that stuff is. All we know
15:55
Speaker 1: is Revellino disappeared and six months later turned up dead
15:59
Speaker 1: and crevice. On the afternoon of June first, twenty eighteen,
16:14
Speaker 1: thirty six year old Luis Garcia headed into Mexico City
16:17
Speaker 1: to meet up with his older brother. The two of
16:20
Speaker 1: them were very close. They had been through a lot together.
16:22
Speaker 1: When Louise was fourteen years old and his older brother
16:25
Speaker 1: was fifteen, their parents had gone through a really messy
16:28
Speaker 1: divorce and during it, their father had just walked out
16:31
Speaker 1: on them and they never saw him again. And shortly
16:34
Speaker 1: after that, their mother remarried and her new husband moved
16:37
Speaker 1: in with the family. And shortly after that, their mother
16:40
Speaker 1: just vanished, and the boys they asked their stepfather, like
16:43
Speaker 1: where is she, Where's she gone? But the stepdad would say,
16:46
Speaker 1: I don't know. She went out on an errand and
16:48
Speaker 1: she never came back. And the boys, I mean, they
16:50
Speaker 1: were very suspicious of their stepfather because this did not
16:53
Speaker 1: feel like something their mom would do, like she would
16:55
Speaker 1: not abandon them. But just a couple of days after
16:58
Speaker 1: their mom disappeared, their stepfather disappeared too, And so all
17:02
Speaker 1: of a sudden, these teenage boys are just left to
17:05
Speaker 1: fend for themselves. Now. The boys would contact police and
17:08
Speaker 1: specifically they said like, hey, we think something happened to
17:11
Speaker 1: our mom. We think maybe our stepdad had something to
17:14
Speaker 1: do with it, but everybody's abandoned us. And the police
17:16
Speaker 1: would launch an investigation and they would go looking for
17:19
Speaker 1: their mother, but they couldn't find her, and they couldn't
17:22
Speaker 1: find the stepfather or the biological father. And so after
17:25
Speaker 1: the police wound down their investigation, the two boys again,
17:28
Speaker 1: they've been orphaned now and they know learned to fend
17:31
Speaker 1: for themselves, but they never stopped looking for their mom.
17:34
Speaker 1: For nearly two decades, they continued to search Mexico City
17:38
Speaker 1: for their mother, and they just could never get any
17:41
Speaker 1: sort of closure. They really didn't know what happened to her.
17:43
Speaker 1: And so today the two brothers had met up, not
17:46
Speaker 1: to go looking for their mom, but instead to meet
17:49
Speaker 1: at their childhood home. So after their mother and stepfather
17:52
Speaker 1: and their biological father had abandoned them, the two boys
17:55
Speaker 1: had lived in the childhood home on their own, you know,
17:58
Speaker 1: fending for themselves. They had grown up there and then eventually,
18:01
Speaker 1: when they were old enough, they had moved out and
18:03
Speaker 1: started their own adult lives on their own. But they
18:06
Speaker 1: had never sold the house. They had just kind of
18:07
Speaker 1: kept it in their possession and let it sit there.
18:10
Speaker 1: But now they were going back to you know, go
18:12
Speaker 1: through and sort of clean it up and you know,
18:14
Speaker 1: decide if they wanted to do some renovations and just
18:16
Speaker 1: kind of fix the place up, you know, maybe to
18:18
Speaker 1: sell it. They didn't know. And so the two brothers
18:20
Speaker 1: they met up at the home. They'd go inside and
18:22
Speaker 1: you know, there's still photos on the wall, you know,
18:24
Speaker 1: old family photos, and there's you know, all these memories
18:27
Speaker 1: that come rushing back, many of which are very sad
18:29
Speaker 1: and troubling, but you know, like the brothers are having
18:31
Speaker 1: a good time, just kind of going down memory lane,
18:34
Speaker 1: and at some point they decide, okay, you know what,
18:36
Speaker 1: not only are we going to clean this place out,
18:38
Speaker 1: but also there's some basic renovations that really need to
18:40
Speaker 1: happen here, Like the place has been sitting here for years,
18:43
Speaker 1: it's sort of fallen into disrepair. Let's let's fix this
18:46
Speaker 1: place up. And so over the next couple of days,
18:47
Speaker 1: they would call in some contractors to begin to do
18:50
Speaker 1: some basic renovations in the house while the brothers continue
18:53
Speaker 1: to clean it up and pack things up and sort
18:55
Speaker 1: of get it ready for whatever it was going to be.
18:57
Speaker 1: And on one particular day, when a group of contents
19:00
Speaker 1: were working in the master bedroom, the brothers were in
19:03
Speaker 1: the living room doing their own thing when they heard
19:06
Speaker 1: a big commotion coming from the master suite. One of
19:08
Speaker 1: the contractors began yelling for the brothers to get in
19:11
Speaker 1: here and look at what he had found. Since the
19:13
Speaker 1: two brothers they got up, they bolt into the master
19:16
Speaker 1: suite and they look at something that was just sitting
19:19
Speaker 1: on the ground, and at first they didn't even know
19:21
Speaker 1: what they were looking at. But then the contractor, after
19:23
Speaker 1: composing himself told them what it was, and suddenly the
19:28
Speaker 1: boys understood what had happened to their mother. They would
19:30
Speaker 1: turn out the brothers were right. Their mother had not
19:33
Speaker 1: simply gone out and abandoned her sons. Instead, on the
19:37
Speaker 1: day their mother left and never came back again, somehow
19:41
Speaker 1: or another, she was bound and gagged and stuffed inside
19:45
Speaker 1: the wall of their family home. And we know this
19:49
Speaker 1: because when that contractor two decades later, was doing renovations
19:53
Speaker 1: for the brothers inside that home, his sledgehammer went into
19:56
Speaker 1: the wall in the master suite, and when he pulled
19:59
Speaker 1: it out again, a white object came tumbling out of
20:02
Speaker 1: the wall, and that object was their mother's skull. And
20:06
Speaker 1: after pulling apart the wall and looking inside, they would
20:09
Speaker 1: find the rest of her skeleton clearly bound and gagged.
20:12
Speaker 1: And then, perhaps most disturbingly of all, is that in
20:16
Speaker 1: the wall they would also find all these scratch marks
20:20
Speaker 1: suggesting she was alive when she was put in there,
20:23
Speaker 1: which means she was in there desperately trying to get
20:27
Speaker 1: the attention of her sons to save her, but nobody
20:31
Speaker 1: could hear her. Following this horrific discovery, the two brothers
20:34
Speaker 1: went to police in Mexico, city and told them what happened,
20:37
Speaker 1: and the police would come to the house. They would
20:39
Speaker 1: look all over the place and try to figure out,
20:41
Speaker 1: you know, what happened to their mother, who killed her,
20:44
Speaker 1: But they couldn't solve it. Now, the police always did
20:46
Speaker 1: suspect that the stepfather very likely had some level of
20:50
Speaker 1: involvement here, just given the fact that he himself went
20:53
Speaker 1: missing a couple of days after the mother did. But
20:56
Speaker 1: they could never locate him, and very likely they never
20:59
Speaker 1: will because today he'd be well over ninety years old
21:02
Speaker 1: and is very likely already dead. And now from Ballin Studios,
21:15
Speaker 1: here's a clip of our newest podcast called A Twist
21:18
Speaker 1: of History. After you listen, be sure to look up
21:21

Speaker 1: and give us a follow and start tuning in. New
21:26
Speaker 1: episodes drop every Wednesday.
21:31
Speaker 2: It's July ninth, nineteen ten in London, England. A sixteen
21:36
Speaker 2: year old boy flies down four flights of stairs of
21:38
Speaker 2: a concrete office building and steps out onto Burrow High
21:41
Speaker 2: streets on the south bank of the River Thames. The
21:46
Speaker 2: noise hits them immediately, People rushing down the sidewalk the
21:50
Speaker 2: road filled with a mix of horse drawn buggies and
21:52
Speaker 2: rattling automobiles. The street is so crowded it overwhelms the boy.
21:58
Speaker 2: He quickly pulls his hat down further to partially cover
22:00
Speaker 2: his face, and starts weaving his way through the foot traffic.
22:04
Speaker 2: He darts his eyes back and forth, convinced that someone
22:07
Speaker 2: is going to recognize him. He can feel his heart
22:11
Speaker 2: beat all the way up in his ears. He keeps
22:13
Speaker 2: rushing and scanning the street, but nobody pays any attention
22:16
Speaker 2: to him, so the boy finally relaxes a little. He
22:20
Speaker 2: slows down to a normal walk and makes his way
22:22
Speaker 2: to the entrance of a nearby London Underground station. A
22:27
Speaker 2: few minutes later, the boy sees his father coming towards him,
22:31
Speaker 2: holding a single small suit case. The boy greets his
22:35
Speaker 2: father and they run down the steps together in the underground,
22:38
Speaker 2: just in time to catch the next train. The boy
22:42
Speaker 2: watches the train doors close and the mass of passengers exiting.
22:46
Speaker 2: He looks around to make sure that he still hasn't
22:48
Speaker 2: been recognized by anyone, and follows his father on board.
22:53
Speaker 2: As the train car continues to fill up, the boy
22:55
Speaker 2: and his dad lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with
22:58
Speaker 2: their fellow passengers, and finally the train starts to roll
23:03
Speaker 2: down the underground tracks and the boy and his father exhale.
23:08
Speaker 2: Their escape from England has begun.
