  Speaker 1: And I will tell you if you have not joined
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The Hey Host Show, you have to give it a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: try because it's not our normal format. It's not heavy,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: not true crime. It is a whole bunch of ridiculousness
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: with rude boy and JT and guys. It will make
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you laugh out loud like you never thought you would. Okay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so definitely give that one a try. Now I do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have two new cases today. The first one, his name
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: is Edith Trey Harris, but he went by Trey, so
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that is what I am going to call him. Plus
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing his first name correctly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and he didn't go by it, so anyway, Trey was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: thirty two top thirty two the last time he spoke
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: with his mother, Corlita. It was June sixteenth, twenty twenty one,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and Trey had called us mom around three forty five
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the morning, and like most moms, she said, why
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: are you up so late and why are you calling me?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And Trey told his mom that he couldn't sleep, so
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he was out walking his two dogs, Smoky and Bandit. Guys,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: those names just brought back a lot of memories to me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But Corlda told Datelines Missican America that while she was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: talking to Trey, she heard him talking to a couple
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of people about his dog. She said, it was a nice,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: normal conversation, so kind of like he's out walking now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I do have to say, why were other people out
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: at three forty five in the morning. But I guess
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: dogs got to do what dogs got to do, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: maybe go to the bathroom. But she said it was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a very normal conversation. And they ended the call with
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Trey saying, hey, I'll call you the next morning. So
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Corlda went to bed. I don't know if she went
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: back to bed, but she went to bed. But sadly,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: she woke up the next morning and she saw that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Trey had tried to call her again a little after
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: four o'clock in the morning, and she said, missing that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: call still haunts her. Guys, I can only imagine, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you talk to your son and he calls fifteen twenty
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: minutes later, and you've fallen asleep. I mean it was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: four o'clock in the morning and you missed their call.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've done it. We've all done it. So
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: she woke up. She tried calling and texting her son
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the next day, and guys, she didn't get an answer.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And as the day went on, she grew very concerned,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: which I think most of us would have if you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we were in that situation. Now, later that day, Trey's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: empty truck was found in Aspermont, Texas. Now, guys, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: had to look up Aspernant because I have never my
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: life heard of this place. I even asked doubleh' Mike,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: have you ever heard of this town? And he was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like nope, So looked it up. Now it's a town
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with less than four hundred people, So I'm going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: guess that's why I've never heard of it. But looking
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: where it is, I'm guessing I've maybe driven through it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: or near there. But that's beside the point. But Trey's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: truck was found at a stop light with the engine
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: still running and his wallet was still inside the truck. Okay, guys,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that is freaky to me. I mean, not on the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: side of the road, not parked in a parking lot,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but at a traffic light, just still running. Okay. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: when the Stonewall County Sheriff's Office started looking into the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: abandoned truck, they found a witness that said they saw
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a black mail get out of the truck with two
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: dogs and start walking off. Now, once they confirmed whose
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: truck it was, they immediately called to the Fort Worth area,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: where Trey lived and where I was from, and they
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gathered the security footage from the apartment complex they're in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Fort Worth. Tray was seen around three forty five in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the morning, so probably right after he talked to his
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: mom getting into his truck with his two dogs. Now
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: law enforcement began looking into this because they found it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: very suspicious that his truck was just left there right
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and no signs of the dog. Now, police, along with
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Trey's mother said they do not think the man seen
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: getting out of the truck in Aspermont was Trey, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that it was another black man. Guys. I could not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: find any reason why they thought this, not whether it
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: was because the description maybe was a shorter man thinner man.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Could not find anything, but did find The police said
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that the truck had been detailed like someone was trying
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to remove evidence. So not only as the truck found,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's found totally wiped down and cleaned, and his dogs
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: were not there now. Sadly, one of the dogs was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: found later to be farther away from the truck and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it had been hit by a car. The other dog
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was found alive and Trey's mom was able to pick
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: up the dog. Now, Trey had quit his job a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks before this happened, and when he called
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: his mom the first time that day, she said he
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was very upset. He was crying, he was distraught, so
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: something was definitely going on. But she said he sounded
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: more hopeful when they got off the phone, and like
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I said, he said he could call her the next day.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He was close with his mom, he would not have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: just disappeared and not called her and left. So Trey
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: has not been seen or heard from since that day,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and his family is still speaking ants out, speaking, seeking answers.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: They recently celebrated his birthday with an event and they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: want to know what happened to Trey. So if you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: have any information, please contact the Stonewall County Sheriff's Office
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at nine four zero nine eight nine three three three three. Sorry, guys,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get a quick drink. Took a lot
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of decongestice and medicine this morning to help with the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: vertigo and feeling, and it's making me very dry, so
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I apologize. Next is a case that is just as baffling.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I have said so many times on this that y'all
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: probably wish I'd quit saying it, But an alienship does
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not just show up being down and pick somebody up.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Somebody sees something, somebody knows something. This next case is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just as disturbing in baffling as treys. On April twenty first,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, nineteen year old James Martin Roberts, who went
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: by Martin, mostly vanished from the college town of Boone,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. Guys. He left behind everybody. I would call
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it a huge mystery because they do not know he
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was a student at Appalachian State University. He was last
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: seen near the university library, guys. And this is a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: familiar place in town, and it's a tight knit community there.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But despite extensive search efforts and media coverage, he has
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: not been seen. Okay, he was last seen, like I said,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on security video, walking away from the library with his backpack.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Did not seem to be upset, did not just seem
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to be distraught. Wasn't with anyone now. Martin was known
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to those close to him as a very thoughtful and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: intelligent young man. He was raised in Kernsville, North Carolina.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: He was an athlete who excelled in swimming and lacrosse.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: While he was in high school and he had good
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: grades in it. He was able to get into Appalachian
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: State University. He was wanting to pursue computer science. Now,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he did not have problems in school with as academics,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but it is said that the loss of a family
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: member and academic pressures that he was struggling in school,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and some say this has led to maybe his disappearance.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So in the days and weeks leading up to his disappearance,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Martin exhibited behavior that suggests he was struggling with some things. Okay,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: friends and family noticed that he had become more withdrawn,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and there were indications that he was facing some big
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: challenges at school, maybe college. He'd been off a little
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: bit more than he thought he could. Now on April
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: twenty first, he spent the morning attending classes and like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I said, he was last seen around twelve thirty near
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the library. He was calmly walking. Guys, there is no
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: sign of distress when he's walking. Now they have pieced
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: together some information from witness witness statements and surveillance footage.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Now he often went to the library, which makes sense
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: if you're struggling and you need some extra study time.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Studying in the dorms isn't always the place to get
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: studying done, right now, Guys, he was seen walking, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: he was walking as he normally would. He did look
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like he was rushing, and he left behind his phone, wallet,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and other personal belongings, which, guys, made people worry for
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: his safety, especially because he was struggling and they thought
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: maybe he was going through some things mentally. Now, he
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: failed to return home that evening, and his friends grew
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: concern and they did the right thing. They reported him missing.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And guys, the initial response was swift. I mean, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: know we've all heard cases where they're like, oh, they're
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: an adult, they have the right to do this, YadA, YadA,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. This was not the case there. They swiftly
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: jumped into action and started looking for him. Okay, and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it was local law enforcement, family friends. They all got
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: together and started searching the area, and they tried to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: go to all of the places that he known that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he went all the time. Now, Guys, the town was
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: shaken by this, I think as any college town would be. Guys,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the search for Martin was extensive. Now, something to know
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: about this area. It is very mountainous terrain surrounding Boon
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and it's vast there. People can go missing in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Appalachian Mountains and never be seen again. There is a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: lot of wildlife and there's a lot of places that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: somebody could go off the grid. And they use every
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: resource that they could. They brought in search dogs, helicopters,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: everything they could. They have found no traces of him.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They then extended the search into the neighboring counties and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they even looked in other states based on tips and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: leads that were coming in. Because, as we all know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: somebody goes missing, it gets out there in the media.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You get people calling in tips. Sometimes you get crazies
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: calling in tips, people who I don't know. I guess
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they don't have anything better to do and they just
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: want to cause chaos. But his disappearance gained a lot
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of media attention locally and nashally. I heard about it
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: here in Texas, so that tells you they got the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: word out there, and his case has been on several
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: news outlets. They have a big social media campaign that's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: gone on and they still to this date no viable
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: tips or sightings of James Martin. He went by Martin,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: but police said he could if he did appeared on
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: his own, maybe go by James. Now, there's several theories
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: out there about his disappearance. One is the usual that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: he chose to disappear volunteerily, voluntarily, given the personal challenges
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he was facing. However, those who knew him well said
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they don't believe this is the case. He had just
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: bought groceries and the groceries were also missing. He had
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: just gotten a haircut, and you don't usually do those
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: things if you're planning on going off the grid, or
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't think you would. If I'm going to be
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: going on the off the grid, the last thing I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: would do is go buy groceries. First of all, I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: hate the grocery store, and I don't think I would
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: go get my hair cut. Then again, I might go
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: get my hair colored if I thought it was going
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to be a long time before I was going to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: get it colored again. Now, another theory is that, of course,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: he fell victim to foul play, but as of now,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: unless the police are keeping it close to their vest,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: they have not released any information as to why that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: could be possible. Okay, Now, some speculate that he went
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: off and decided to end his life because of what
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was going on in his life, but there's no definitive
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: answers or anything pointing to this. Now, the case of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: James Martin Roberts is very challenging, guys, because there is
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: no evidence. Okay, they jumped into action and started looking,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and to the best that I could find, there is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: no evidence leading them in one direction or the other. Now,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the fact that he left behind his personal belongings suggests
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: maybe he left just for a little bit, but he
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: didn't plan on staying gone for an extended period of time.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But also if he decided to go into the mountain
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: area and end his life, leaving behind your things could
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: possibly make sense. But adding to this is the fact
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that he was struggling with some things, so it's hard
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to know. Maybe he decided to go look for some
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: drugs to self medicate to feel better. There truly is
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: not one path that you could find and go down
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and say what happened. It is still unsolved, and guys,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it still haunts, of course his family and friends, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that community and the people there at the college, they
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: have not forgotten. Now. In April of this year, law
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: enforcement released a statement saying they are still working on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: this case and they worked with nay Mist to get
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: an age progression photo to help the public know what
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he might look like today and to remind people he
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: went by Martin, but his first name is James. He
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: could be going by James. He does have a tattoo
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: on his arm, and he does have a tattoo on
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: his chest. Now, the photos that we have shared on
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: our social media shows the picture that has been age progressed,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: so just that you all know that is what they
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: think he would look like today. Now, I did what
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I often do. I went down the rabbit rabbit hole. Okay,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: sometimes I ask myself, why why do I do this
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to myself? But I did, and I found several posts
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: regarding his disappearance and saw that people are speculating about
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the letter that he left behind. From everything I have
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: seen online and on this Reddit post, there's multiple Reddit
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: forums around this. The letter did not say that he
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: was going to kill himself. It was not a suicide
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: load or typical suicide note, but it was more about
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he felt he disappointed people and maybe his family, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: some people are speculating that he said he was gay
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and he was unable to tell his family. Now, the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: family has not released the letter, and some people found
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that strange and some people were bashing them for not
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: doing that, and guys, I just want to go on
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the record and say the family doesn't have to share
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the letter with the public. As long as they shared
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it with the police, which it seems like they did
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: just in case it had information to help lead them
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to find him, then we as the public need to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: accept that the family wants to keep it private and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent okay, So get off their backs.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I personally have never had a family member go missing,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and I did not know how or what I would
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: do or how I would act or not act. One
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: thing I am one hundred percent sure of is that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: people would find fault and everything I did or didn't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: do okay. With the age of social media, it seems
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: like we have a lot of people that just feel
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: very comfortable getting behind their keyboard in saying all of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: this stuff. So that's one thing I'm sure of. No
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: matter what I did, somebody would complain about it, or
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: they would complain about what I didn't do. So what
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I want to ask all of you is to remember
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to be kind and realize we are not living through
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: what his family is and they do not have to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: share every intimate detail with the public. If he was
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: truly struggling with being gay, and he put that in
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the letter, guys, it's none of our damn business. Okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We know he was struggling with something. We know he
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: was struggling at school. That is not uncommon for kids
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: who go off to college. That first year is an adjustment.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You've lived at home, the safety of your home. All
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you're out there or there's not someone
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: making sure you get up and go to class. There's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: not someone making sure you do this and that. Everyone struggles.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So if he was struggling with that extra piece, so
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: be it. Unfortunately, our society has made it where people
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: who are gay struggle more than they have to because
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: people have to worry about being accepted when they come out.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: They have to worry about what their friends, family, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the public are gonna say. And guys, that is horrific, okay,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and we as a society need to do better. Okay,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. He was a young man who was
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: struggling with some things, and if that is in the letter,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: his family I applaud them for keeping that quiet. If
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: he didn't out himself, no one else should, so please
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: try to remin that. Also, if you have any information
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: regarding the disappearance of James Martin, please contact the Boon
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Police at A two eight to six ' eight sixty
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: nine hundred. You can also follow the Facebook page Help
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Find Martin Roberts to stay up to date on his
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: disappearance in any new information. Now, something I wanted to
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: say that I found very interesting is the number of
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: college kids who go missing and are not found. It's shocking.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I am going to do some more research and in
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a future episode I'm going to share some of the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: statistics because it's scary. Guys. Here we are a lot
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of people are getting ready to go off to college.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: My best friend's son is going to be moving into
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: his STRM next week. And the thought that these college
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: cans are experiencing life on their own, I mean, you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: go to school, you are an adult, You're learning to adult.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You're still a teenager. You know, you're still figuring out live.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: You are vulnerable because you also a lot of times
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: are starting to experiment with drinking. So another thing I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: want to ask everyone please try to take care of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: your friends, your loved ones. If you've got loved ones
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: going off to college, make sure that you talk to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: them about things to keep them safe. Make sure they
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: turn on find my phone, I forget what it's called,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: or follow the three sixty so that you can find
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: your kids. Because when you go off to college, you're
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: going to experiment, You're going to try new things depending
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: on where you are. That leads you vulnerable. Because guys,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to tell you this, there's a lot of crazy,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: freaking people in this world, and shit happens, and it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: happens to good people. Okay, So please do those things
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: because we don't want to stop college kids from experiencing life,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but with the way the world is today, we do
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: need them to be safe. Okay. So, as I normally
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: try to do, I try to end on a lighthearted
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and positive note. Well, I got a lot of positive
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: feedback about the short story about the Naughty Little Jasper
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: last time, so I thought I would give you another
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: little short story today. I guess we'll call it a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: palette cleanser. Even though I'm drinking water because it's the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: middle of the day and I can't drink wine in
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the middle of the day. So once upon a time,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in a small town lived a woman named Loosely. Lucy
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: was known for her bright smile, infectious laughter, and uncanny
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: ability to lose her keys. Guys, I almost put that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: she lit up a room that she walks into, but
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that would mean she's going to wind up on dateline.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Because every time I hear someone say, oh, she let
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: up a room when she walked into it, I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: they're going to wind up on dateline. And I also
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: know no one will ever say those words about me,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: because I do not light up a room when I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: walk into it. Anyway, Lucy always was losing her keys.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: In fact, guys, Lucy losing her keys had become such
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a common occurrence that the townspeople often joked that the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: keys were probably hiding from her on purpose. Hey, guys,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. Every morning, Lucy's day would start
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: with her cheerfully getting ready for work, but just as
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: she was about to leave, she would freeze and say, shit,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: where are my keys? And as we all know, she
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: would panic and the search would begin. Had tried everything
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to keep track of her keys, she bought a key
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: rack shaped like a giant key and hung it by
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the door, And she thought, this will solve everything, because
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I will put my keys there every day. So she
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: was confident this was the answer to her solution. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: guess not the answer to her solution. How about the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: answer to her problem? But the keys would somehow find
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: their way to the couch cushions, the fridge, or, once hilariously,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in her dog's bed. Little did she know that her
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: dog Rufus had developed a mischievous habit of carrying them
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: off in the night, as if to play a game
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of hide and seek with her. Her friends and neighbors
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: soon got involved in this key hunting routine. They would say,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: check the laundry basket loosely, or they would say, hey,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: be sure to look in the cookie jar. Did you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: check the mailbox now? The mailman said, definitely check your
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: mail because he remembered the day he delivered her keys
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: back to her after she had dropped them in the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: box along with a letter. Okay, guys, that is something
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I would so do now. One particularly chaotic morning, after
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: upturning every possible spot in her house, Lucy decided she
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: had had enough. She put up posters around town offering
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a reward for the safe return of her keys. The
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: poster read, lost one set of keys. They are small, shiny,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and have an infinity for disappearing. Reward one batch of
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: homemade cookies. Now, the kids in this town thought this
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: was going to be the best scavenger hunt ever and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: they were going to be able to get some cookies.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: And their parents couldn't say no to cookies because they
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: were a reward. So they searched high and low, digging
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: through sandboxes, checking under benches, and even trying to interview Roughest,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: who wagged his tail but kept mum on his nightly
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: key heist. Now days pass and Lucy received everything from
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: tweet keys to antique keys, but none were her own.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Just when she was about to give up all hope,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: she got a call from the man who owned the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: local hardwork store. He said, Lucy, I think I found
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: something that belongs to you. Lucy rushed over only to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: find her keys hanging on a hook in the shop,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: right next to the shiny new keychains. She goes, how
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the hell did they get here? She asked. Jenkins laughed,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: he goes, well, Rufus must have brought them in. He's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: been sneaking in for treats when I'm not looking. Okay, guys,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: my first question I want to ask here is how
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: is he so smart to find his way to the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: hardware store. That's a smart dog. Now. From that day on,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Lucy decided that maybe, just maybe she wasn't meant to
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: keep her keys in the usual place, so she decided
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to get smart. She gave Rufus his own key ring,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and every morning they played a little game of find
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the keys. It became their special routine, and much to
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Lucy's surprise, she never lost her keys again, well except
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: for that one time they ended up in the freezer,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: but we're just gonna say that's a story for another day.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: So the answer was Rufus would hide the keys and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: they would play the game, and he would return the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: keys and would get a treat. So I hope that
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: made jeall laugh. Probably not the best story I've written,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was kind of cute. I want
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to say thank you all for joining me today. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: want to remind you please share the missing person flyers
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: that we have posted on our Facebook, our Instagram, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: on our TikTok so that we can help these families
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: get the word out on their missing loved ones. And
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I had someone send me a DM saying do you
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: think you are disrespecting the families by covering their cases?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: And I gave it some thought, guys, and I don't
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: think I am. A lot of the cases I covered
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: do not get the media attention that they deserve. And
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I am just sharing the information that I can find
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: online because the more we can get the word out there,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the more people join the Facebook groups the family is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: set up, the more we share the missing person flyers,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the more likely we are for somebody to talk and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: tell what happened. Because, like I said, an alien didn't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: just be up Scottie. Okay, somebody knows something, and as
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we all know, humans, we talk, we talk. Somebody knows.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So I do not feel I'm being disrespectful. I feel
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that I am doing what I can to advocate for
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: them and to get the word out there. So once again,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you all for joining me today.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: for our next episode of Miss Midday Missing Now. On Wednesday,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I am going to be covering one case that has
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: had a lot of media spotlight. Normally, I wouldn't cover
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the case because I try to cover the cases that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: don't get the spotlight. But guys, Amulynn Bradley's case has
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: haunted me from the time I learned about it, so
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I decided to cover it on Midday Missing instead of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: doing a special episode of True Crime and wine time
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: for it. So if you want to know more about
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Amy Lynn Bradley who went missing while on a cruise
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: with their family and Selena Mays, definitely be sure to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: subscribe on our channel so you can get notified. And
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I also want to say don't forget you can catch
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: all of our productions here on our YouTube channel. And
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody to please also when sharing
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: missing person flyers, make sure they're legitimate. There are people
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to guess in other countries that are taking
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: photos of missing people who've been found or still missing
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but changing the names and doing scam post. One way
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you can look for this is if they do not
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: have a phone number on there for you to contact,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: do not reshare it. I go the extra step and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: go google the name to see if the person is
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: really missing. The reason why when people share the scam post,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it lets the scammers know that the person did this,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: they then are getting into their social media accounts. So
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I want to remind you all please be very careful.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: If you go to our true Crime and Wine Time page,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: you will see that I have posted a thing that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: shows how you can spot scam post. You can also
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: find it on my Tarry True Crime page. So once again,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: please keep sharing the missing person flyers, but try to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: validate that they are legit before sharing them. And I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: hope everyone has a great week and I will see
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you all back here on Wednesday.
