• 3:27
  Speaker 1: into today's cases. Today, both cases are out of California
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and that was not planned, It just happened that way.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Today we are discussing a case that has haunted investigators
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and Jack's loved ones for nearly three decades. This is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the story of Jack Daniel Phillips, who disappeared on August sixth,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five at the age of nine from San Bernardino, California.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Jack also went by or JD. I guess JT's always
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on my mind, but he went by JD. And he
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was just a boy of nine when he vanished under
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: mysterious circumstances during a family trip near Big Bear Lake.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was a typical California summer and Jack was with
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: his family, his younger half brother, his mother, and her
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: living boyfriend, and they were at the Aspen Glenn Picnic Grounds,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: which is near the scenic Big Bear leg Now, guys,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Jack had no known history of running away, which makes
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what happen even more unsettling. According to witnesses, Jack had
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got into a disagreement with his mother and her boyfriend
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that day. And guys, it's nothing unusual for families who
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: go on long outings and go camping to have typical arguments.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I can tell you. We grew up camping, fishing, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: arguments happened, okay. But Jack was tired of it that day,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and he told a witness that he was fed up
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with the fighting and the arguing, and after that he
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: began walking towards the picnic area and then he vanished.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And it was between five and five point thirty when
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: he was last seen. The picnic grounds and the surrounding
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: area were thoroughly searched, of course, first by the family
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and then by law enforcement guys. There was no sign
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of Jack. He disappeared without a trace. And as I say,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: there is no such thing is aliens coming down and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: picking people up. I will say, if you're out camping
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of other families around you,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it is possible for someone to be taken and not seen.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Jack was wearing a black tank top, gray shorts with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Tasmanian double logo on the leg, white socks, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: white tennis shoes. He had brown hair, brown eyes, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he stood just about four feet tall and he weighed
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: seventy two pounds. He also had distinguished in features. He
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: had a scar on his left cheek and freckles on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: his face. But despite his unique appearance and then searching,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: no one has seen him again. Now days later, a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: small strange lead emerged. A family friend in Bakersfield, California,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: received an automated collect call. Guys, I'm going to probably
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be aging myself, but do you remember collect calls when
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: if you didn't have money at a pay phone you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: could call collect. I was like, I remember those days.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: This friend believed she recognized Jack's voice on the line,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but the call was abruptly disconnected before she could confirm
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: if it was truly him. And guys, this lead went nowhere.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: There was no way to trace the call at that time,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and Jack's whereabouts still remain a mystery to this day.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: No one knows for sure what happened to Jack. His father,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: who was in prison at the time, was not considered
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a suspect. Neither were his mother or her boy or
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend. Despite early hopes, no solid leads have ever surfaced. However,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a name that has become synonymous with suspicion in this
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: case is Dreames Crumwell. Crumwell is a convicted child killer
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and violent sexual predator, and he was living just blocks
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: away from the Aspen Glenn picnic area at the time
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Jack disappeared and Guys. His history is a terrifying one.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty seven, Crumbell was convicted of abducting and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: assaulting a fourteen year old boy in Wisconsin. Although he
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to thirty years in prison, he served only five. Okay, guys,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: here it comes, What in the hell why sendence someone
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to thirty years and then only make them serve plus
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: five plus is thirty years enough time for abducting and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: assaulting a child? I mean maybe if he would have
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: went and spent the entire thirty years, I would feel
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: okay with it. But I don't know what was going
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on then. But I thought you had to serve at
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: least fifty percent of the time. But five years is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: not enough, okay. And over the years, his violet tendencies
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: towards boys Jack's age only escalated. Imagine that he was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: linked to the nineteen seventy nine disappearance of a seven
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: year old boy, Charles Christopher Francis in Santa Ana, California.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: As Crumwell was a predator. Investigators believe that on that
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: August day and nightteen ninety five, Crumbell may have targeted Jack,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and according to reports, Crumbell allegedly confessed to killing Jack
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: while talking to a cellmate. Investigators think Crumwell may have
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: disposed of Jack's body in the ocean, but no body
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: has ever been recovered. Now. In nineteen ninety seven, Crumbell
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: was charged with the murder of thirteen year old James
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Wilfrid Trotter, who went by Jamie, and he was a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: boy who had gone missing in nineteen seventy nine. Crumbell
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: discovered Jamie's skull in nineteen ninety, though it wasn't identified
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: until years later. So that you know, normally you look
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: at the person who finds the body. You definitely should
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: look at them when they have a history any final skull.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and four, Crumbell was convicted of Jamie's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: murder and he was sentenced to death, But in twenty twelve,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Crumbell took his own life while he was on death row. Guys,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this leaves behind a lot of questions. He no confessions,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: no closure. Was he truly involved in Jack's case? We
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. While foul play is strongly suspected in Jack's case,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Crumbell's death means we may never know the full truth.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And there's so many unanswered questions. I mean, what happened
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to Jack that day? He just walks off? I mean
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I can think of how many times I've walked off
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: while we're camping and be like, hey, I'm going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: just take a little walk.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I need to breathe, and.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Then something happened, you know, And today is nearly thirty
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: years later. You know, Jack Daniels Phillips is still missing
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in his case is unsolved. And guys, it's cases like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Jack's he was nine that remind us how fragile life
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: can be and how important it is that we know
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: ever forget those who've gone missing. But despite the year's passing,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: his family still holds on to hope that one day
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: they will learn the truth about what happened. And we
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: owe it to check and a family like his to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: keep telling these stories. So if you have any information
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that could help bring closure to Jack's family or aid
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in this investigation, please contact the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: at nine oh nine three eight seven three six nine zero.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Guys nine years old, he would be thirty nine today
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and his family doesn't know what happened. I know this
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: may sound weird, but I hope his body wasn't disposed
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of in the ocean because then it won't be found.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Hopefully someone hiking, walking or something will find it, or
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: flood will happen so that his family gets some answers. Now,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Like I said, our next case is also in California
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and it's also another young girl. So our second case
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: today has baffled investigator for decades about a young girl
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in Walnut Creek, California. She vanished one September evening in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six. This is the disappearance of Lisa Dickinson.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Lisa was just nine years old when she disappeared on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: September fifth, nineteen seventy six. That evening, like so many others,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: she set off on her red Raleigh ten speed bicycle,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: which was a familiar site in her neighborhood. Guys, when
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I was that age, I was riding my bike around
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: everywhere too. I didn't have a red one. I had
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a pink Huffy because of course it was pink. Now,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Lisa was headed to the nearby BART Station. For those
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of you are familiar, the BART Station is the Bay
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Area Rapid Transit, so it is the bus that can
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: connect you to San Francisco, the Peninsula from the East
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Bay and the South Bay. Took it often when we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: lived there. But guys, she never made it back home
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and her family expected her home by eight pm. But
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: by nine pm there was still no sign of Lisa.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So her parents called the Walnut Creek Police Department. Now, guys,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you, when first looking at this case,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I said to doubleh, I'm like, whole's their nine year
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: old ride their bike to the bart station. And he
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: had to remind me it was nineteen seventy six. We
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: did those things. Then I would ride to the grocery store,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the little corner store, Uvaldi Superrett, which was about two
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and a half miles from my house when I was
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that age. So definitely a different time than it is now,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: which is sad that our children and our grandchildren can't
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: do that. I don't let Monkey Butt or Action Jackson
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: out of my view when they're outside, you know. Now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Lisa's disappearance sent shock waves throughout the Walnut Creek community.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Walnut Creek is a very nice area, very community oriented,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and they were shocked that this happened.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Lisa was described as a petite, blonde haired, blue eyed girl.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: She was four foot ten and she weighed eighty pounds.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: On the day she went missing, she was wearing a
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: yellow crew neck T shirt with the word happiness on it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: along with a cartoon of Snoopy Okay, I Love Snoopy,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: blue cut off shorts and white leather sandals.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Despite this bright outfit, the hours ticked by with no
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of her. However, around ten pm, a chilling discovery was made.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Lisa's red Raleigh bike was found abandoned in a grove
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of walnut trees at Heather Farm Park, which is just
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a short distance from the Contra Costa Canal, but Lisa
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. However, witnesses reported seeing Lisa
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: near the entrance to the park that evening, but they
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: said nothing seemed out of the ordinary at the time.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But one of the most crucial pieces of information came
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: from several witnesses who reported seeing a Caucasian man on
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a motorcycle around seven thirty pm that night near heather
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Farm Park, which was not far from where her bike
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: was found. The man was described as being in his
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: early forties with brown, curly hair, mustache, and a chunky build.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But guys, what's even more unsettling is said a young
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: girl was reported who's between the ages of eight and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: twelve was riding with him, and she was wearing a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: white helmet. Guys, first thought, could that have been Lisa?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I mean? And if it was, did she know the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: guy on the motorcycle, and was she sitting in front
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of the man on the bicycle or was she sitting
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: on the back. And I asked that because if you're
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: on the back, you have to hold on And if
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: she didn't know him, I could see him putting her
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in front of him so he could hold on to her. Now,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: years later, a man named Luis Richard Fresquez would come
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to the attention of law enforcement in connection with Lisa's case.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Fresquez was a convicted sex offender who was imprisoned for
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: his crime between nineteen eighty seven in two thousand and two. Guys,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: these people do not change. I mean, I know they
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: do their time, but we got to figure out something, okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: because obviously they keep doing stuff. But in nineteen seventy six,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: when Lisa disappeared, Fresquez was thirty four years old. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: he matched the age and the physical description of the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: man on the motorcycle, because guys, he was like five
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to five and weighed about one hundred and forty pounds
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and he had black hair and brown eyes. Now, he
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: did become the prime suspect in Lisa's disappearance. However, Guys,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: despite the suspicion, there has not been enough evidence to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: charge him. To this day, Presquez remains a key figure
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in the investigation, but no concrete evidence has emerged linking
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: him directly to the crime in Lisa's case remains open
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and guys, it's one of the many unsolved disappearances from
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that time. We didn't have the cameras that we have now,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we didn't have social media, we didn't have cell phones.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, times were just different. It's been over forty
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: years since Lisa Dickinson disappeared. For her family, the pain
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of not knowing what happened to their little girl still lingers,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and guys, it's a way no family should ever have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to bear. Every year, new developments are hoped for. This
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: case is unsolved and cold, so the Walnut Creek Police
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Department continues to investigate. But they need more than hope, guys,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They need answers and they need tips. They need leads.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: So if you know something from back in that time,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: or if a family member or a friend said, oh yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I had something to do with it, please call and tell.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: If you have any information regarding Lisa's disappearance, you are
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: urged to contact the wall Create Police Department at nine two, five,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: ninety four, three, five, eight or four, guys, As we
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: remember Lisa and Jack today, we also need to remind
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: ourselves of the many missing children across the country whose
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: stories are still waiting to be told. What is sad.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We could probably do two cases every day of the week,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year, and I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: don't think we would run out of content for a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: bit because people still go missing every day. So I'm
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: also going to urge you all please share the missing
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: person flyers from our social media pages. Let's get their
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: stories out. Think about it, thirty and forty years of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: not knowing what happened to your nine year old child, guys,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine going an hour without knowing what happened
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to a nine year old. Okay, so it has been
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a while since I shared a short story, and I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: felt like sharing another story today about Whiskers. I know
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I try to give y'all tips and stuff, but needed
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: something just a little bit more lighthearted. So once upon
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a time, in a quaint little village nestled between rolling
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hills and a shimmering river, there lived a cat named
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Whiskers and her best friend, a duck named Quackers. Whiskers
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was as curious as they came, with a sleek coat
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of fur as black as midnight, and eyes that glistened
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: like two golden coins. Quackers, on the other hand, was
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a jolly little duck with a bright yellow bill and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: feathers that always seemed a bit too leggy for his
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: tiny body. The two friends were in inseparable and they
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: were always getting into the most ridiculous adventures. One sunny afternoon,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: as the pair lounged by the river bank, Whiskers spotted
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: something intriguing in the distance. Quackers look, she exclaimed, pointing
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a pall towards a peculiar contraption sitting in the middle
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of a field. It was a shiny, tall object with
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a large round opening up the top. Quackers tilted his head,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: squinting his beady eyes. What in the world is that?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: He quacked, but his voice was filled with excitement. Without
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a moment's hesitation, Whiskers bounded over to the mysterious object,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: her tail flicking with anticipation, and Quackers waddled behind, trying
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to keep up with his energetic feline friend. When they
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: reached the object, Whiskers circled it sniffing the air with
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: great curiosity. I think it's some sort of magical port,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: she declared. Quacker's always a bit more cautious took a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: step back. Are you sure it's not just an old well, Whiskers.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: My uncle once got stuck in a well for three
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: days and it was not magical at all. Nonsense, Whiskers purred,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: her curiosity getting the better of her. Only one way
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to find out, and with that she leaped onto the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: rim of the object, peering down into the darkness below.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Quackers flapped his wings nervously. I don't know, Whiskers, it
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: looks deep and a bit Scaryers turned to him with
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a mistivious grin. Don't be such a scaredy duck. Watch this.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Before Quackers could protest, Whiskers gave a mighty push with
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: their hind legs and jumped into the opening. There was
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a loud whosh, followed by a clattering noise as Whiskers
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: tumbled down what seemed like an endless tube. Quackers quacked
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: an alarm and waddled over to the edge, peering down
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: with wide eyes. Whiskers, are you okay? He quacked, his
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: voice echoing down the tube A moment later, he heard
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Whisker's voice, slightly muffled. Quackers, you've got to see this.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: It's a slide, a slide, Quackers echoed in disbelief. Yes,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it's a giant slide. It's amazing. You have got to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: try it. Whiskers called up, her excitement evident. Quackers hesitated
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: for only a second before he took a deep breath. Well,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: here goes nothing, and with that he jumped in after
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: his friend. The slide twisted and turned, sitting Quackers and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Whiskers zooming through the dark tube with squeals of delight.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: They finally landed in a soft pile of hay at
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the bottom, Laughing uncontrollably. That was incredible. Quackers quacked, his
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: feathers all ruffled from the wild ride. Whiskers grinned her
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: whiskers twitching with amusement. I told you it was magical.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: As they dusted themselves off, they noticed they were inside
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a barn, surrounded by curious cows and a couple of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: clucking chickens. The how's moot and greeting, and one particularly
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: large hen eye Quacker suspiciously, as if wondering why he
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't laying any eggs from that day on the slide
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: became their favorite adventure. Every afternoon, Whiskers and Quackers would
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: race each other to the top of the hill, leap
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: into the tube, and laugh their way down to the barn.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: The cows would always give them a gentle nudge, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the chickens would cluck in disapproval. They were like, why
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: are you bothering me? But Whiskers and Quackers didn't mind.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: After all, there's nothing quite as magical as finding a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: secret slide with your best friend by your side. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: if that slide happened to be in an old farmer's
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: grain shoot, well that was a detail best left unsaid.
• 26:00
