- 1:15Speaker 13: Never go through midnight productions is real shit. They don't
- 1:19Speaker 13: know a lot of people's riving. They see the house,
- 1:21Speaker 13: there's baby cribs, the lights for films. They had rooms
- 1:24Speaker 13: with la cages. You go in the house and then
- 1:27Speaker 13: the wall would have you step into some weird tunnel shit.
- 1:30Speaker 4: It says a prison cell. Only kids just being held
- 1:32Speaker 4: down here.
- 1:32Speaker 14: The underground bunker was basically a giant plastic container with
- 1:37Speaker 14: a whole only small enough for a child to crawl
- 1:39Speaker 14: in and out of.
- 1:40Speaker 12: A child.
- 1:41Speaker 14: A small child that was in there could not have
- 1:42Speaker 14: gotten out on their own.
- 1:44Speaker 15: And the child's vanity and there's hospital toilet.
- 1:50Speaker 14: It looks like a child's car seat, strollers and children's
- 1:53Speaker 14: toys and clothing and food packets and stuff like that,
- 1:56Speaker 14: so clearly children had been kept here. One thing that
- 1:59Speaker 14: was really disturbing was there were arm restraints, wrist restraints
- 2:03Speaker 14: on two trees angled like this to where that's a
- 2:06Speaker 14: tree that looks exactly like risk restraints for tree doesn't.
- 2:09Speaker 12: Look like anything else.
- 2:10Speaker 5: There's the midnight productions out here, and it is it
- 2:14Speaker 5: is right here. That shit is everywhere. It's a human trafficking.
- 2:17Speaker 5: It's every day people will you know, come and lure
- 2:20Speaker 5: you in and then take you and you are a
- 2:22Speaker 5: slave until they are done with that, and then chop
- 2:24Speaker 5: you up until your body parts.
- 2:25Speaker 9: These guys set me up to be torture by Midnight Productions.
- 2:29Speaker 9: It's a conspiracy among conspiracies, if HiT's true.
- 2:33Speaker 16: Man God Elbows in Phoenix is on pace for a
- 2:36Speaker 16: record breaking number of homeless deaths. According to new data
- 2:39Speaker 16: from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office, more than three
- 2:42Speaker 16: hundred homeless people have already died this year.
- 2:45Speaker 17: It's a body donation and tissue bank in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 2:48Speaker 17: It was rated back in twenty fourteen. In a human
- 2:51Speaker 17: body parts trafficking investigation.
- 2:53Speaker 18: He found a cooler filled with mailed yeah, a bucket
- 2:57Speaker 18: of heads, arms and legs, infected heads, and one of
- 3:01Speaker 18: the most disturbing findings, called a morbid joke in the lawsuit,
- 3:05Speaker 18: a small woman's head sewn onto a large male torso
- 3:08Speaker 18: like Frankenstein and hung up on the wall.
- 3:26Speaker 3: When I first came across Midnight Productions, it was because
- 3:30Speaker 3: my wife Courtney, sent me a video on Instagram where
- 3:34Speaker 3: a homeless woman was talking about this group in Phoenix,
- 3:38Speaker 3: Arizona that has been known to abduct homeless people, men,
- 3:42Speaker 3: women and children, assault them on camera in hidden rooms
- 3:48Speaker 3: and bunkers, and then murder them on camera, and then
- 3:52Speaker 3: of course.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Sell the films.
- 3:54Speaker 3: This was a snuff film ring called Midnight Productions, and
- 3:59Speaker 3: I couldn't believe what I had just heard.
- 4:01Speaker 19: Oh yeah, I'll be careful for people.
- 4:03Speaker 13: They can't trust white people over here because they they're
- 4:05Speaker 13: into like satanic shit and mesa and tempy you hear
- 4:08Speaker 13: about it. They this ship called the Mint Productions. Yeah,
- 4:13Speaker 13: and it's real shit. Mint Productions is like they call them.
- 4:17Speaker 13: It's like these they're say they don't believe in Jesus
- 4:20Speaker 13: or Satanic. They believe in like getting girls out there
- 4:23Speaker 13: that are all missed up on drink. You see the
- 4:25Speaker 13: young ones and they roll light weight and they're wigging out,
- 4:28Speaker 13: and they'll tell them you want to get them hired.
- 4:29Speaker 13: The drink a choice, and then they sedate them. Then
- 4:32Speaker 13: they'll lock them up and they they basically keep them to.
- 4:36Speaker 13: They they deprive them to and keep them doped up.
- 4:40Speaker 13: To where they don't know what's going on with them
- 4:42Speaker 13: that they're they're getting and filmed, and they make them
- 4:45Speaker 13: have babies and kill their babies. And a lot of
- 4:47Speaker 13: times the goals you see missing all this shit, missing
- 4:50Speaker 13: one of the fourth A lot of times they think
- 4:52Speaker 13: that they get to grab the people's Then sometimes you
- 4:55Speaker 13: know who who they are because there's some cars that
- 4:57Speaker 13: will follow you and follow you, and you see cars
- 4:59Speaker 13: that I know when they see cars followed followed.
- 5:02Speaker 12: I did.
- 5:03Speaker 13: I just tried. I just tried to tell them, let
- 5:04Speaker 13: them know. I know what they're about. I know that
- 5:07Speaker 13: they want certain people in certain kind because they have
- 5:10Speaker 13: their interests. But I think now they want there they're
- 5:13Speaker 13: more into like because you know, Easter's from me, They're
- 5:17Speaker 13: more into because they're against God. The more into like
- 5:19Speaker 13: wanting to sacrifice just like a wait, weird to say
- 5:22Speaker 13: tenant shit.
- 5:23Speaker 20: I don't.
- 5:23Speaker 13: I don't talk about that shit with like, uh, my
- 5:26Speaker 13: homie from from and Medal, his his sister was missing
- 5:33Speaker 13: and one of the homies noticed that she went to
- 5:35Speaker 13: a house and they then she never came out, and
- 5:38Speaker 13: she was the lady that lived there, was like a
- 5:40Speaker 13: green leader of this ship. They they end up one
- 5:43Speaker 13: in there stabbing the lady, try to kill her. Their
- 5:45Speaker 13: kids because they the sister. They don't know Hoper Charity.
- 5:47Speaker 13: She's missing. They don't know a lot of people drive missing.
- 5:50Speaker 13: They weren't that house. There's baby crib film like you
- 5:54Speaker 13: know the film like the lights for films. They had
- 5:57Speaker 13: rooms with like cages. It was like you going house
- 6:00Speaker 13: and then the wall would have a whole. It's like
- 6:02Speaker 13: you can step into some weird tunnel shit. And at
- 6:05Speaker 13: that lady. I ran into her when I was in jail,
- 6:07Speaker 13: and she tried to convince me that when I got
- 6:10Speaker 13: into jail, she'd give me all the jokes I wanted.
- 6:12Speaker 13: I had to go home to my mom and that.
- 6:14Speaker 12: That I could stay with her.
- 6:16Speaker 13: I just warned about her when I was in jail
- 6:18Speaker 13: because they wanted me to personally. They wanted me to
- 6:20Speaker 13: try to hurt her, kill her, and I said, I
- 6:23Speaker 13: want to be part of it, you know, but I
- 6:26Speaker 13: kind of low key wanted to go where she was
- 6:28Speaker 13: drink convincement because I was younger at that time. I
- 6:31Speaker 13: didn't want to be told what to do. Wanted to
- 6:32Speaker 13: get high.
- 6:34Speaker 6: I don't let church shop therapy down on my head
- 6:36Speaker 6: by Midnight Productions.
- 6:37Speaker 11: They wanted my memory, so I don't.
- 6:39Speaker 12: I don't know, be aware.
- 6:40Speaker 6: Midnight Productions is a band of people who go around
- 6:44Speaker 6: picking up young women, young girls, taking them back to
- 6:47Speaker 6: their hideout, you know, filming it while. They'll come on
- 6:52Speaker 6: them up in pieces. They'll kill you. Midnight Productions are
- 6:55Speaker 6: people that you need to stay away of. Cops, lawyers, judges.
- 6:59Speaker 12: So they're all people with power. Yeah. What would you
- 7:02Speaker 12: say to people that say that's just an urban legend.
- 7:05Speaker 6: It's not an urban legend. I know withd them twice.
- 7:09Speaker 6: I've had an electro shock there PJL on my head.
- 7:11Speaker 6: I don't remember anything from my path. I'll remember much
- 7:14Speaker 6: of what they did to me. All I know is
- 7:15Speaker 6: these people are not nice to be around. Don't hang
- 7:18Speaker 6: out with them, don't get involved with them. You see
- 7:20Speaker 6: any people's with tinted windows and you can't see the person,
- 7:23Speaker 6: Stay clear of all costs. That's all I can say.
- 7:26Speaker 21: How'd you get picked up?
- 7:27Speaker 12: Was it just a random car.
- 7:28Speaker 4: And you were walking down the street.
- 7:30Speaker 12: Oh?
- 7:31Speaker 6: Well, what I was told is I was in the
- 7:33Speaker 6: front yard and a family member went inside and that's
- 7:37Speaker 6: when they got me because I was alone they take
- 7:41Speaker 6: you to their base. They take you to their location
- 7:43Speaker 6: where they're at and then they'll pop you and once
- 7:47Speaker 6: you're done with you, while they're also you, they'll video
- 7:49Speaker 6: tape it. There's a thing called snuff. That's what they
- 7:53Speaker 6: Their videos are called snuff. Look up Midnight Productions on web.
- 7:58Speaker 6: You'll find them. But they after that, they will take
- 8:01Speaker 6: the women and little and young ladies. No kill them.
- 8:04Speaker 6: Oh okay, I got away thanks to the h I'm
- 8:07Speaker 6: very grateful.
- 8:08Speaker 5: Out here. It sucks out here. It's very dangerous. There's
- 8:11Speaker 5: the Midnight Productions out here, and it is it is
- 8:14Speaker 5: right here. That shit is everywhere.
- 8:16Speaker 12: It's scary, but I don't know what.
- 8:19Speaker 5: It's a human trafficking. It's every day people, will you know,
- 8:23Speaker 5: come and lure you in and then take you and
- 8:25Speaker 5: you are a sex slave until they are done with
- 8:27Speaker 5: that and then chop you up and sell your body parts. Yeah,
- 8:29Speaker 5: it's up out here. M I haven't seen it. I've
- 8:34Speaker 5: heard it. There's a couple ladies. Because mental illness is
- 8:39Speaker 5: really bad out here. It just goes undiagnosed, undetected or whatever.
- 8:43Speaker 5: People are just pending for themselves out here. There's this
- 8:46Speaker 5: group of women down by the canal. You can tell.
- 8:49Speaker 5: You can tell there's something wrong. They're not quite right.
- 8:51Speaker 22: You know.
- 8:52Speaker 5: One will have like twenty coats on, won't take any
- 8:54Speaker 5: of them off. She always don't touch me. You know.
- 8:56Speaker 5: There's these like black guys. There's like these five black
- 8:59Speaker 5: guys that will sit there and watch who talks to
- 9:01Speaker 5: her or you try to help her or anything. They'll
- 9:04Speaker 5: they's it's up because they're just being these women. One
- 9:08Speaker 5: of them has a kid and it's due. But yeah, no,
- 9:13Speaker 5: I've had friends who told me their daughters and their
- 9:17Speaker 5: friends have literally waited till everyone's asleep and mobbed up
- 9:21Speaker 5: out of hotels after like a whoever in the crew
- 9:24Speaker 5: went through them, you know, and they're able to leave
- 9:27Speaker 5: ran down the street naked, you know, trying to get
- 9:29Speaker 5: away from them. Yeah, it's dumb. Yeah, I hope I
- 9:33Speaker 5: don't see it because if I see anything of it,
- 9:35Speaker 5: it'd be too late for me.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Obviously, anybody who hears something like that is going to
- 9:40Speaker 3: think there's no way that that's possible for something like
- 9:43Speaker 3: that to happen.
- 9:44Speaker 4: First of all, I.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Would employ you to go do some independent research yourself.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Look into the Presidio ring. Look into the Franklin Ring,
- 9:52Speaker 3: look into North Fox Island. There's so much of this
- 9:55Speaker 3: stuff that has happened throughout American history that we just
- 9:58Speaker 3: do not know about. So I went into this with
- 10:01Speaker 3: an open mind, thinking maybe there is something to all
- 10:04Speaker 3: of this. And once I started looking into midnight Productions,
- 10:08Speaker 3: I couldn't.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Get back out of the rabbit hole.
- 10:10Speaker 3: So if you look right here on Google, this is
- 10:14Speaker 3: how I started my journey. You click on midnight Productions
- 10:18Speaker 3: in Phoenix. This is one of the first things that
- 10:21Speaker 3: I started looking into was this.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Reddit post, and.
- 10:25Speaker 3: This was showing you know, a lot of people were
- 10:28Speaker 3: commenting saying that yes, Midnight Productions is a real thing.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Like right here, these people are real.
- 10:35Speaker 3: They're affiliated with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, Hell's Angels,
- 10:39Speaker 3: as well as the Mexican Cartel. They have access to
- 10:42Speaker 3: unlimited weapons and literally unlimited budget. They have ties with
- 10:46Speaker 3: the state government, and I had to move away from there.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I ran into these kind of people.
- 10:50Speaker 3: That's why this is a nationwide problem. All these comments,
- 10:54Speaker 3: there's so many comments, and this is where you really
- 10:58Speaker 3: should start if you want to look into this, like
- 11:00Speaker 3: I have on these message boards and it's a lot
- 11:03Speaker 3: of people saying, you know, I've had experiences with Midnight
- 11:07Speaker 3: Productions and they're real. So what's really interesting about all
- 11:11Speaker 3: of this? To basically explain what Midnight Productions is, people
- 11:15Speaker 3: think that it is a ring operating in Arizona, mainly
- 11:19Speaker 3: in Phoenix, but also in Tucson and Scottsdale other smaller cities.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And this is a ring of individuals with ties to
- 11:27Speaker 3: law enforcement, with ties to politicians and higher ups. Some
- 11:31Speaker 3: people even claim with ties to motorcycle gangs. And essentially
- 11:35Speaker 3: it's like what I said before, Midnight Productions is abducting
- 11:39Speaker 3: homeless men, women, sometimes just children in general. They are
- 11:44Speaker 3: torturing these abducted persons on camera, brutally assaulting them and
- 11:51Speaker 3: then murdering them and making a profit off of the
- 11:54Speaker 3: sale of these tapes, and also doing it for some
- 11:57Speaker 3: sort of sick, sadistic pleasure. So as I started going
- 12:00Speaker 3: down the Midnight Productions rabbit hole, I started to realize
- 12:04Speaker 3: that this isn't just an Internet rumor. There are thousands,
- 12:10Speaker 3: tens of thousands of comments and forums that in the
- 12:13Speaker 3: past few months I have personally gone through and read through,
- 12:17Speaker 3: and thousands of people claiming they have had run ins
- 12:20Speaker 3: with Midnight Productions, people saying they were abducted by them,
- 12:24Speaker 3: they were by them, they escaped, they know someone who
- 12:28Speaker 3: was tortured by them and they escaped. People that they
- 12:31Speaker 3: know have disappeared. There's names that are brought up, addresses, locations,
- 12:36Speaker 3: and in my mind, you just can't have so many
- 12:40Speaker 3: people talking about something and saying that it's one hundred
- 12:43Speaker 3: percent real if there's absolutely nothing to it. There's absolutely
- 12:48Speaker 3: no reason for these people to be so.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Invested in this story. That is just a lie.
- 12:54Speaker 3: And you're gonna see in this documentary when we talk
- 12:56Speaker 3: to people in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 12:58Speaker 4: This is not just an Internet belief.
- 13:00Speaker 3: This is a belief that transcends into the real world
- 13:03Speaker 3: there and it's gonna get frightening. Just let's look at
- 13:07Speaker 3: a couple more of these comments. I mean, I heard
- 13:09Speaker 3: about this in twenty seventeen from a girl from the
- 13:11Speaker 3: Glendale area. I was born and raised in Phoenix. Midnight
- 13:15Speaker 3: Productions is an underground snuff film group. The police are
- 13:18Speaker 3: in it to some extent. That's why people are careful
- 13:20Speaker 3: to talk about it. So here's some mentions of some neighborhoods.
- 13:27Speaker 3: This is where I met a gentleman who was a
- 13:29Speaker 3: light drug user in this neighborhood. He said that he
- 13:31Speaker 3: got into talking shit with this guy about some trashy
- 13:34Speaker 3: girl they knew, and then he was offered money to
- 13:36Speaker 3: quote kill stray dogs on tape. I thought it was
- 13:39Speaker 3: all bullshit until this guy proceeds to pull a VHS
- 13:42Speaker 3: tape out of his backpack, and when we tracked down
- 13:44Speaker 3: a VCR, the video showed some girl giving blank to
- 13:47Speaker 3: a guy with a mask.
- 13:49Speaker 4: She didn't know she was being filmed.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Suddenly he started holding her hair and then started cutting
- 13:53Speaker 3: her head off while she.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Was performing that.
- 13:57Speaker 3: He never stopped using the head even after it was
- 14:00Speaker 3: disconnected from the body. The same guy told me that
- 14:03Speaker 3: they have dudes everywhere that sell MP copies of their
- 14:06Speaker 3: snuff films and that one of their providers was the
- 14:09Speaker 3: toy box Killer Charles Parker Ray. That's insane if you
- 14:14Speaker 3: don't know that whole story. That serial killer, the Toy
- 14:17Speaker 3: box Killer had a torture shack in his trailer. He
- 14:21Speaker 3: was abducting women and just brutally torturing them inside of
- 14:25Speaker 3: this trailer. I cannot go into details here. If you
- 14:27Speaker 3: want to hear that full story Courtney and I did
- 14:29Speaker 3: it as an episode of Murder in America. But it's
- 14:32Speaker 3: horrific the things that he was doing, and he was
- 14:34Speaker 3: filming all this stuff, so people are connecting him to it,
- 14:38Speaker 3: and every single comment when you go down these forums,
- 14:43Speaker 3: Yes it's true. I did twenty two years in prison
- 14:45Speaker 3: in Arizona and midnight productions is a common talk of
- 14:48Speaker 3: the underground in streets. It's real shit, and they foul people.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Another comment, this midnight production is very, very real. I
- 14:55Speaker 3: used to live in a halfway house with girls from
- 14:57Speaker 3: the streets coming in and talking about it. They were
- 14:59Speaker 3: scared to death, and girls I've known who knew about
- 15:01Speaker 3: it who eventually went missing. So this shit ain't nothing
- 15:04Speaker 3: to mess with. You really don't want to know. Someone
- 15:06Speaker 3: was asking. This person says, you don't want to know
- 15:08Speaker 3: what it is unless you're looking for trouble. I wrote
- 15:10Speaker 3: this thing, explaining a lot, then I erased it. You're
- 15:12Speaker 3: poking a wasp's nest, so if you get stung, it's
- 15:15Speaker 3: on you.
- 15:16Speaker 4: I know nothing about anything. Good luck.
- 15:18Speaker 3: I'm just I'm not even kidding. You really need to
- 15:21Speaker 3: read through some of these comments because these are people
- 15:24Speaker 3: bringing up specific motels. They're saying, like this woman, multiple
- 15:28Speaker 3: people were involved, she was talking about making these films
- 15:33Speaker 3: and movies. And then a lot of people saying tread carefully,
- 15:37Speaker 3: which is a little bit scary because it really seems
- 15:40Speaker 3: like a lot of people who have been in Phoenix
- 15:43Speaker 3: who understand that midnight Productions is this local kind of
- 15:46Speaker 3: urban legend thing. Well, I'd say you get three types
- 15:49Speaker 3: of comments from people. One, midnight Productions doesn't exist. That's
- 15:53Speaker 3: the basic easy answer here. Number Two, you'll get a
- 15:56Speaker 3: comment from somebody saying, I have had experience with midnight
- 15:59Speaker 3: pus and it's very real, and these are very vocal
- 16:02Speaker 3: people that are trying to warn others online about this.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Then you have a third type of comment, which is simply,
- 16:08Speaker 3: don't look into this. It is a terrible mistake. So
- 16:11Speaker 3: we knew we had to look into it. I mean,
- 16:13Speaker 3: just look at all of these Reddit posts, right, you
- 16:17Speaker 3: go down and down and down. Everybody has stories about
- 16:23Speaker 3: this sort of thing, and it's like, it's insane that
- 16:27Speaker 3: this has never been seriously looked into. I don't think
- 16:29Speaker 3: I've ever seen an actual YouTube video that is going
- 16:32Speaker 3: in depth about midnight Productions. I don't know if people
- 16:35Speaker 3: are scared of it or what like. Even this person
- 16:38Speaker 3: I heard about midnight productions twenty years ago. Supposedly some
- 16:41Speaker 3: guys we hung out with were involved and never went
- 16:44Speaker 3: back to their house after I heard the kind of
- 16:46Speaker 3: shit that they were up to.
- 16:47Speaker 4: And I just don't see.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Why people would lie about all this stuff. I mean,
- 16:52Speaker 3: these are like regular ass comments, people like legitimately afraid
- 16:56Speaker 3: to even.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Talk about this stuff.
- 16:58Speaker 3: And yeah, as you go down through all of this shit,
- 17:02Speaker 3: all of these different reddit posts and forums, people are
- 17:05Speaker 3: talking about patterns coming out with their experiences, and at
- 17:10Speaker 3: one point I got to this blog, the Truther Girl's blog. Now,
- 17:15Speaker 3: this is a really, really disturbing article talking about snuff
- 17:19Speaker 3: films in Arizona. This blog post discusses people involved in
- 17:25Speaker 3: the local government and the Sheriff's office who are involved
- 17:29Speaker 3: in midnight productions. But what's really interesting about all of
- 17:34Speaker 3: that is, look at how many comments there are on
- 17:37Speaker 3: this post.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Look at this guys, and these people.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Are all telling like true stories, well, according to them,
- 17:48Speaker 3: true stories.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Of midnight productions.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Experiences like midnight productions big blog north of seventy second Avenue.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Somebody owns a house near north of this address, not
- 18:03Speaker 3: an urban legend. Supposed bodies in the backyard. First room
- 18:07Speaker 3: is the coffin room. Anyone who has the bass to
- 18:11Speaker 3: speak out has disappeared.
- 18:13Speaker 4: All of these people.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Talking with really specific details, you know what I mean,
- 18:21Speaker 3: and people just bringing up different murder cases, people bringing
- 18:26Speaker 3: up sex offenders.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Here's the Three.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Palms hotel that is going to come up in a
- 18:33Speaker 3: little bit in this documentary. I've seen that come up
- 18:37Speaker 3: a few times being mentioned. But yeah, I mean, you
- 18:41Speaker 3: go down this rabbit hole. And I've spent days just
- 18:44Speaker 3: reading all this stuff and it's frankly, really convincing. Now,
- 18:48Speaker 3: something else that's interesting about Midnight Productions is how it's tied, supposedly,
- 18:53Speaker 3: according to some people, to the unsolved disappearance slash murder
- 18:57Speaker 3: of a girl named Michel Biggs. She was a young
- 19:00Speaker 3: girl who disappeared in the Phoenix area decades ago. And
- 19:05Speaker 3: I had never seen a connection between midnight Productions and
- 19:07Speaker 3: this crime until I started researching it, and then I
- 19:10Speaker 3: came across comments like this. I was born and raised
- 19:13Speaker 3: in Arizona, small town between Phoenix and Tucson. I learned
- 19:16Speaker 3: of midnight productions as an adult. I had moved to Mesa,
- 19:19Speaker 3: I met a young girl that years before was held
- 19:22Speaker 3: hostage for months by a man known as peg Leg Bill.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Throughout the years in Mesa, I met many girls slash
- 19:28Speaker 3: women that had been connected to Midnight productions. Peg Leg
- 19:31Speaker 3: Bill came up often. I don't know why, but some
- 19:33Speaker 3: of them would open up. They trusted me. They told
- 19:36Speaker 3: me that he was responsible for the kidnapping of a
- 19:38Speaker 3: little girl in Mesa years earlier, Mickel Biggs. And she
- 19:42Speaker 3: goes on to give a lot of really specific information
- 19:45Speaker 3: talking about how once again Mickel Biggs was, according to
- 19:50Speaker 3: her and what people told her, murdered on camera. And
- 19:54Speaker 3: it's really really weird stuff. I mean, even right here
- 19:59Speaker 3: on another unconnected Reddit posts from ten months ago, here's
- 20:03Speaker 3: another person talking about Michel Biggs being kidnapped by the
- 20:08Speaker 3: Hell's Angels and then Midnight Productions torturing her, assaulting her,
- 20:12Speaker 3: killing her on camera. So you'd think with all these
- 20:15Speaker 3: people talking about this online, right, there would be more
- 20:19Speaker 3: people talking about it, more videos, more a documentary, more
- 20:23Speaker 3: news articles. But there's nothing besides these forum posts and
- 20:27Speaker 3: the thousands and thousands of them, and the mentions of
- 20:30Speaker 3: Midnight productions and all these specifics there's nothing I haven't
- 20:34Speaker 3: started looking, and this was eerie. I started looking into
- 20:38Speaker 3: people who also might have looked into Midnight Productions in
- 20:41Speaker 3: the past. I came across this Twitter page going after Midnight,
- 20:45Speaker 3: staffed by investigators examining allegations of an underground organization in
- 20:49Speaker 3: Arizona known as Midnight Productions. They have a contact email,
- 20:54Speaker 3: but their last tweet was in twenty twenty. It seems
- 20:59Speaker 3: like shortly after they started this project in February of
- 21:02Speaker 3: twenty twenty, whoever was running this page disappeared. They've never
- 21:08Speaker 3: posted again, and I emailed them. I emailed them a
- 21:11Speaker 3: couple of times in fact, to film this documentary, I
- 21:14Speaker 3: sent probably one hundred to one hundred and fifty emails
- 21:18Speaker 3: somewhere in the middle there, and I got no responses
- 21:21Speaker 3: from anybody. Everyone seemed to be too afraid to reach
- 21:24Speaker 3: back out to me about speaking on this subject. And
- 21:28Speaker 3: I thought that was weird that this guy just disappeared.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Then there's another guy, William Josh Hellman. I found his page.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Check this out March eight, twenty twenty one. He's talking
- 21:41Speaker 3: about Midnight Productions here. I have a huge issue here
- 21:44Speaker 3: in Phoenix, Arizona that needs to be exposed to the
- 21:47Speaker 3: rest of the world. There's an organization here in the
- 21:49Speaker 3: valley that is the most evil thing involving the most
- 21:52Speaker 3: evil people alive. They pray on people to torment then
- 21:55Speaker 3: torture them for film. That was March eighth, two twenty one.
- 22:02Speaker 3: He has not posted anything on x since. Isn't that
- 22:09Speaker 3: really strange to you? I actually came across a number
- 22:12Speaker 3: of different Twitter profiles of people whose last tweet was
- 22:17Speaker 3: about Midnight Productions, Like they would tweet something about how
- 22:20Speaker 3: Midnight Productions is coming after them, and then they.
- 22:24Speaker 4: Would go completely silent.
- 22:27Speaker 3: So there's obviously something going on here in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 22:32Speaker 3: I feel like I've heard this story so many times
- 22:35Speaker 3: in high places, children being murdered, all this stuff being filmed.
- 22:39Speaker 3: These are common motifs in these stories, and as I've
- 22:41Speaker 3: dug into these, and there are projects that I'm involved with,
- 22:45Speaker 3: documentaries that are going to be coming out that involve
- 22:48Speaker 3: similar topics. The more you dig in, the more you
- 22:51Speaker 3: realize this stuff is real and you want to fight
- 22:54Speaker 3: to expose this filth. But after seeing that post and
- 22:57Speaker 3: going down that rabbit hole, that's why I decided that
- 23:00Speaker 3: my next trip was going to be to Phoenix, Arizona,
- 23:02Speaker 3: and so that's why earlier this year, that's where we
- 23:05Speaker 3: headed to film this documentary. Now what would follow would
- 23:08Speaker 3: be a complete odyssey of terror, disgust, and shock. When
- 23:13Speaker 3: we first arrived to Phoenix, we met up with a
- 23:16Speaker 3: guy who runs the YouTube channel Lost in Phoenix. Now,
- 23:19Speaker 3: this guy actually interviews homeless individuals in the Phoenix area.
- 23:23Speaker 3: He tells their stories. But I reached out to him
- 23:25Speaker 3: and asked if he had ever run into homeless individuals
- 23:29Speaker 3: while interviewing in Phoenix that spoke about midnight productions, and shockingly,
- 23:34Speaker 3: he said he had.
- 23:35Speaker 4: A lot of information.
- 23:37Speaker 3: So we met up in a public park and I'm
- 23:40Speaker 3: gonna let him take this away.
- 23:43Speaker 12: So my name is ar Castro in Phoenix, Arizona. I
- 23:46Speaker 12: have a YouTube channel called Lost in Phoenix. I go
- 23:49Speaker 12: out and I interview folks that are homeless, and a
- 23:51Speaker 12: lot of people homeless here in Phoenix are using blues
- 23:56Speaker 12: counterfeit fatanyl pills that are coming in from Mexico, and
- 23:59Speaker 12: they're very cheap here in Phoenix. Dollar two dollars three
- 24:03Speaker 12: dollars for a pill, which makes it very cheap and
- 24:06Speaker 12: readily available. And so you have people from out of
- 24:10Speaker 12: state coming to Phoenix for these pills, you know, and
- 24:12Speaker 12: so all day long you're able to interview these folks
- 24:15Speaker 12: and try to try to get them help.
- 24:17Speaker 21: That's crazy. A dollar a pill.
- 24:19Speaker 12: There used to be last year they were about fifty cents,
- 24:22Speaker 12: but prices fluctuate because of the supply.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Basically, there is a homeless a pretty significant population here
- 24:30Speaker 3: in Phoenix, right.
- 24:32Speaker 12: Oh. Absolutely. The city Phoenix estimates ten thousand, but I
- 24:36Speaker 12: would easily say fifteen twenty thousand. I don't know how
- 24:39Speaker 12: they're counting, but it's just prof just a lot of
- 24:41Speaker 12: people out here.
- 24:43Speaker 21: And so I guess let's just dig into it.
- 24:47Speaker 3: So when did you first hear or start hearing about
- 24:50Speaker 3: midnight productions?
- 24:52Speaker 12: Ever since I started so three and a half years ago,
- 24:55Speaker 12: I would interview people and I would ask them tell
- 24:58Speaker 12: me about some of the dangers out here, and the
- 25:02Speaker 12: first thing they would mention is midnight productions. What is
- 25:04Speaker 12: midnight productions? And just people driving around looking for other people,
- 25:10Speaker 12: looking for women like girls that are out here homeless,
- 25:15Speaker 12: no anybody, but looks like they prey on the week,
- 25:20Speaker 12: you know. And so these pills are counterfeit, which is
- 25:27Speaker 12: downers basically, right, So they consume these pills and they're
- 25:31Speaker 12: knocked out. They're asleep for thirty minutes an hour hours
- 25:35Speaker 12: however many pills they consume, and so they're very vulnerable,
- 25:39Speaker 12: especially when they're by themselves. And according to what I've
- 25:43Speaker 12: heard from different people all throughout the valley, so it's
- 25:45Speaker 12: not one person, right, it's just a wide variety of
- 25:48Speaker 12: people that have no connection other than living on the streets.
- 25:52Speaker 12: And so they'll tell me, yeah, usually I see a
- 25:55Speaker 12: car following me, or a friend of mine, somebody approached
- 26:01Speaker 12: but she ran away, right, So they don't come announce
- 26:05Speaker 12: themselves as Midnight productions, but that's the name that they
- 26:10Speaker 12: go by. That that these folks are calling them midnight productions.
- 26:13Speaker 12: I'm not sure why, but they tell me that. Why
- 26:17Speaker 12: midnight productions. All we've heard that they get they they'll
- 26:21Speaker 12: kidnap you and they'll take you down at somebody's house
- 26:24Speaker 12: and they'll make videos of you, and so they get
- 26:28Speaker 12: pretty graphic about it. And so that's a lot of
- 26:30Speaker 12: people are very aware, especially when you're out there on
- 26:33Speaker 12: the streets, very aware of men night productions. Be careful
- 26:36Speaker 12: with the police, be careful with business owners and be
- 26:38Speaker 12: careful with midnight productions.
- 26:41Speaker 21: Like what's what's happening?
- 26:42Speaker 3: What are these people explaining goes on when they get abducted.
- 26:46Speaker 12: So they've mentioned saults that's being filmed and that they're
- 26:56Speaker 12: selling them online the videos. There must be a market,
- 27:00Speaker 12: you know for that type of stuff. That's what they
- 27:02Speaker 12: say is like, I don't want to get kidnapped you,
- 27:04Speaker 12: they say, right, so you know, you sleep one eye open,
- 27:07Speaker 12: or if we're part of the group sleeping sleeping out
- 27:10Speaker 12: here on the streets, we'll take turns you sleep while
- 27:13Speaker 12: I stay awake. Right, And but that's they're they're but
- 27:17Speaker 12: what if you're by yourself? Right, it's what do you do?
- 27:20Speaker 12: So it's the kind of like luck of the draw
- 27:23Speaker 12: and uh, but definitely it's kind of like slave uh
- 27:28Speaker 12: blas men women, it doesn't matter. They'll capture it on
- 27:33Speaker 12: video and uh and put it out there.
- 27:36Speaker 21: Children too, allegedly.
- 27:37Speaker 12: Right, the youngest person I've seen out here is thirteen
- 27:40Speaker 12: years old. That's crazy, thirteen years old smoking these pills
- 27:43Speaker 12: in front of my eyes. So I've seen it. You know,
- 27:45Speaker 12: if they're going why not, why wouldn't they? Right, So,
- 27:49Speaker 12: so I've seen thirteen year olds, fifteen year olds out here,
- 27:51Speaker 12: these pills out here walking around at night. So you
- 27:54Speaker 12: got somebody they're not they're not gonna worry about age.
- 27:57Speaker 12: They're gonna just snatch you up and do whatever they
- 27:59Speaker 12: want with you, you know. So definitely scary out here.
- 28:02Speaker 3: Well, there's a market for snuff films, we've explored obviously,
- 28:06Speaker 3: there's a market for salt forced you know, so it
- 28:14Speaker 3: all makes sense that this could be happening. But I'm curious.
- 28:17Speaker 3: Have you heard stories of them being tied into murders.
- 28:21Speaker 12: A couple of people have said, we haven't heard from
- 28:26Speaker 12: my friend Monica. Right, we were all knocked out, we
- 28:32Speaker 12: all did pills and we woke up. Monica was in here,
- 28:38Speaker 12: but we heard car, a car and something. So when
- 28:42Speaker 12: they're they're high off these pills, there's there's not much
- 28:47Speaker 12: they can do, you know, because they're very vulnerable, right,
- 28:49Speaker 12: they're just knocked out, not a lot of strength, and
- 28:51Speaker 12: not a lot of awareness of what's going on around them,
- 28:54Speaker 12: and so and so they were talking about a Monica
- 28:57Speaker 12: that they haven't seen her. Monica's gone, right, So where's
- 29:01Speaker 12: Monica that? Yeah, we don't follow police reports because I
- 29:07Speaker 12: think that they say they've told me, I think the
- 29:09Speaker 12: police are involved. You know, we go to the police
- 29:13Speaker 12: and they just say it's a rumor. It's like no
- 29:16Speaker 12: police that we haven't seen it, we've never heard about it.
- 29:18Speaker 12: But they say, how can so many how can so
- 29:21Speaker 12: many people be missing?
- 29:22Speaker 23: Right?
- 29:22Speaker 12: Because Monica and this other person, this other group, you know,
- 29:26Speaker 12: and so the valley is so wide, so very spread out,
- 29:30Speaker 12: so it's the city of Phoenix is very big, and
- 29:33Speaker 12: so but the same people that are telling me something
- 29:36Speaker 12: on the west side might not know people on the
- 29:38Speaker 12: east side, but they're telling me the same thing you
- 29:40Speaker 12: know about people missing basically, right, So no concrete murdered, right,
- 29:46Speaker 12: because nobody, nobody's ever found.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Right, And that's well, I think that's part of the
- 29:52Speaker 3: baked in part of Midnight Productions is that they're allegedly
- 29:56Speaker 3: abducting people, assaulting them, killing them on camera, and then
- 30:01Speaker 3: disposing of the body. Which is like we talked before
- 30:03Speaker 3: we started growing about organ harvesting and how there was
- 30:07Speaker 3: that you know, human chop shop that was uncovered here
- 30:11Speaker 3: what year twenty sixteen, do you remember.
- 30:13Speaker 12: That that's something that's again more rumors, you know that
- 30:17Speaker 12: I've heard on the streets, right, is that you have
- 30:22Speaker 12: to be careful because they say so other people have
- 30:27Speaker 12: talked about organ harvesting, but they didn't tie it into
- 30:30Speaker 12: midnight productions. What I think is that they might not
- 30:33Speaker 12: have heard of midnight productions, but they've heard about the
- 30:36Speaker 12: organ harvesting. Right. So you got all these people that
- 30:43Speaker 12: aren't putting it all together. Right, But since you're doing this,
- 30:47Speaker 12: and since I'm out there, if we put the pieces together,
- 30:51Speaker 12: there's people like midnight Productions and snuff films, salts, murder,
- 30:56Speaker 12: organ harvesting, and how do you create a awareness other
- 31:00Speaker 12: than talking about it and making people aware? Right?
- 31:02Speaker 3: So exactly, so what have you heard about orgon harvesting?
- 31:06Speaker 3: That's super interesting? Is that something people actually are telling
- 31:09Speaker 3: you is happening.
- 31:10Speaker 12: Yeah, So again, a couple of people people have mentioned
- 31:14Speaker 12: when I ask them, like, what do you think Midnight
- 31:18Speaker 12: Productions is doing? Uh, they've mentioned organ harvestem you know,
- 31:22Speaker 12: and if you haven't seen Monica your friends again like
- 31:26Speaker 12: where is that coming from? I heard from so and so? Right, So,
- 31:31Speaker 12: the homeless community, they are the people doing blues as well?
- 31:35Speaker 12: Is they they keep each other in the loop, right
- 31:40Speaker 12: for safety, for awareness, for protection, they're very informed. A
- 31:45Speaker 12: lot of them have cell phones. You know, there's a
- 31:48Speaker 12: lot of free cell phones out here that the government
- 31:49Speaker 12: gives to these people for you know, emergency and whatnot.
- 31:52Speaker 12: So they they're in the loop, they're in the know.
- 31:56Speaker 12: They watch these videos, right, they interview people and they
- 31:58Speaker 12: watch these videos. So they're the ones that are mentioning
- 32:02Speaker 12: to me about Oregon harvestein. And so what they'll say is,
- 32:07Speaker 12: so again we hear them about midnight productions. People like
- 32:11Speaker 12: midnight productions. You mean there's other people. We've heard that
- 32:14Speaker 12: there's other groups, right, the other people out here trying
- 32:19Speaker 12: to pick up the US vulnerable folks that are out here. Right,
- 32:22Speaker 12: they're saying, I don't want to be one of them.
- 32:25Speaker 12: I don't want to disappear because eventually I want to
- 32:28Speaker 12: get better. I want to get well. I want to
- 32:30Speaker 12: go to treatment. I've just been out here for a year,
- 32:33Speaker 12: two years, right, I'm not ready to get treatment, but
- 32:35Speaker 12: I want to get out of here before midnight productions
- 32:38Speaker 12: gets me. Is they literally say that?
- 32:40Speaker 24: So you you'd say, after interviewing people time and time
- 32:44Speaker 24: again here that like members of the homeless community are
- 32:47Speaker 24: actually afraid of midnight productions like they express that to you.
- 32:51Speaker 12: Oh, absolutely, yeah. Again, I'll mention I don't initiate the
- 32:56Speaker 12: conversation about midnight productions because I've never seen them. I
- 33:00Speaker 12: don't know them, right, So my question to the folks
- 33:03Speaker 12: I interview is what scares you about being out here?
- 33:06Speaker 12: What fears do you have about being out here? The police?
- 33:11Speaker 12: You know, business owners calling the police and midnight productions.
- 33:16Speaker 12: Tell me more. I understand why you'd be scared of
- 33:18Speaker 12: the police, right, You probably have a warrant. You don't
- 33:19Speaker 12: want to be arrested, right, because if you get arrested
- 33:21Speaker 12: two three days a week in jail, you don't want
- 33:23Speaker 12: to go through with draws. That's probably why the police. Yeah, definitely.
- 33:26Speaker 12: Well what about midnight productions? Kidnappings? And this is what
- 33:31Speaker 12: I've heard, right of kidnappings is what they say. And
- 33:33Speaker 12: then my friends, you know, tell me right out here
- 33:35Speaker 12: in the homeless community, this is what we talk about,
- 33:38Speaker 12: right to stay safe and be aware. You know, hey,
- 33:40Speaker 12: last night we heard about midnight productions over here on
- 33:43Speaker 12: this side of town. Be careful, so they keep each
- 33:46Speaker 12: other in the loop, right, But it's like a bigfoot
- 33:49Speaker 12: people hear about it, but really nobody's really concrete, you know,
- 33:54Speaker 12: anything physical.
- 33:55Speaker 21: And so that also leads to me.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Before we started rolling, we also talked about how you
- 34:01Speaker 3: interviewed someone whose.
- 34:03Speaker 21: Daughter went missing.
- 34:04Speaker 12: Yes, and there's just no trace of her. Right, she's
- 34:08Speaker 12: been missing for about five six years now. She has
- 34:11Speaker 12: three children she left behind. She was struggling, homeless, using
- 34:16Speaker 12: blues and right in the heart of it, right in
- 34:19Speaker 12: the middle of where it's all happening. And so I
- 34:22Speaker 12: interviewed the mom and she mentioned she's just a spirit.
- 34:26Speaker 12: She filed a report with the city of the City
- 34:29Speaker 12: of Phoenix Police department, and where is she at and
- 34:33Speaker 12: nobody's heard from her? And so people are disappearing, right.
- 34:37Speaker 12: The weird thing is when it's like a crime, like
- 34:41Speaker 12: a murder, a fight, something, you find them, right, you
- 34:45Speaker 12: find them deceased somewhere right on the desert and a
- 34:49Speaker 12: car at a park. You know. I've interviewed a lot
- 34:52Speaker 12: of people. Unfortunately they're no longer here, right, They're deceased
- 34:57Speaker 12: due to overdoses. Violent people like this young lady just missing.
- 35:04Speaker 12: So she's somewhere, you know, And so again, is she
- 35:07Speaker 12: a victim of wargon harvesting? Is she a victim of
- 35:10Speaker 12: a slex uh six trade, you know, involvement, you know.
- 35:15Speaker 12: But again, if you if you kind of tell me,
- 35:17Speaker 12: put together what they're saying and different people, and and
- 35:21Speaker 12: she could possibly be a victim of that for sure.
- 35:24Speaker 3: It's really interesting because yeah, like you said, if someone's murdered,
- 35:28Speaker 3: O d.
- 35:30Speaker 21: Their bodies there.
- 35:31Speaker 3: But I feel like that's a common thing that even
- 35:33Speaker 3: I've heard and done some research on his people from
- 35:36Speaker 3: the homeless community here in Phoenix just vanish into thin air.
- 35:40Speaker 21: And I even read I don't know if you remember this,
- 35:42Speaker 21: but I read rumors.
- 35:44Speaker 3: That there was a serial killer targeting homeless individuals in
- 35:47Speaker 3: Phoenix like years ago. And now that I've been hearing
- 35:51Speaker 3: about this midnight production stuff, it's like, hm, hm, really
- 35:55Speaker 3: makes you think if all this is like connected.
- 35:58Speaker 12: It could it could very well be. We've had serial
- 36:00Speaker 12: killers here, baseline killer they leave their bodies, the bodies
- 36:05Speaker 12: are found, and that's how clues are garnered, and after
- 36:08Speaker 12: a while it's enough to get them arrested. Right, These
- 36:11Speaker 12: serial shooters, serial killers we've had in Phoenix fifteen years ago,
- 36:15Speaker 12: ten years ago. But when there's no body, you know,
- 36:19Speaker 12: like there's something, it's like a group or is doing
- 36:22Speaker 12: a great job of disposing of evidence so that they
- 36:28Speaker 12: can't be tied back to them. Right, So where's a body.
- 36:32Speaker 12: What are they doing with the Organs? Or are they
- 36:35Speaker 12: just captured in somewhere in somebody's basement and just making
- 36:40Speaker 12: these snuff films all day long, right, involved in a
- 36:45Speaker 12: trade in a different country, in a different city to
- 36:48Speaker 12: get them out of here. It's just and these are
- 36:51Speaker 12: all things you hear from the people that I interviewed.
- 36:54Speaker 12: You know, a lot of it I don't post online,
- 36:56Speaker 12: but these are stories that I hear can't post that
- 36:59Speaker 12: I just put us off, pulls it online because it's
- 37:01Speaker 12: it's uh, it's something that gets too graphic, right, too scary.
- 37:05Speaker 12: And sometimes they don't they tell me, you know what,
- 37:08Speaker 12: I don't want to talk about mid night productions. They
- 37:10Speaker 12: tell me that you know, I've heard of them. I
- 37:12Speaker 12: know I've heard of those stories. Just don't ask me
- 37:15Speaker 12: midnight production questions. They tell me. So there's a genuine
- 37:19Speaker 12: fear from folks. You know, it's palpable, and so that's
- 37:22Speaker 12: scary because, uh, there has to be something to it exactly,
- 37:26Speaker 12: can't be a myth.
- 37:28Speaker 3: So we were saying, like hundreds of people that I
- 37:31Speaker 3: mean you thousands of people that you've talked to personally
- 37:34Speaker 3: that are afraid. It's like there's always something behind these stories.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Like I understand people that are gonna watch this and
- 37:43Speaker 3: think it's like a boogeyman's story of chasing something that
- 37:46Speaker 3: doesn't exist. But when you have people disappearing, you have
- 37:50Speaker 3: hundreds of people just that I've read online talking about
- 37:53Speaker 3: how they escape midnight productions and their friend did or
- 37:56Speaker 3: their friend was killed by them. It's like there's some
- 38:00Speaker 3: sits here and nobody is talking about it, which I
- 38:03Speaker 3: think is crazy.
- 38:04Speaker 12: One thing I asked these folks, I'll say, how do
- 38:07Speaker 12: you make money? How do you make money to support
- 38:10Speaker 12: your habit? I wash windows, I opened doors or stores
- 38:14Speaker 12: and the panhandle. Some girls they'll admit I do dates.
- 38:22Speaker 12: So what's doing a date? You know? Guys come up
- 38:26Speaker 12: and they solicit and they want me to get in
- 38:27Speaker 12: their car, and they'll you know, we negotiate on what
- 38:31Speaker 12: they want me to do and the price, and we'll
- 38:35Speaker 12: just get it done. So I've had a couple ladies
- 38:42Speaker 12: say I don't do that anymore. Why So two weeks ago,
- 38:50Speaker 12: some guy got me in his car drove me out
- 38:54Speaker 12: in the desert, locked his doors, drove me out in
- 38:57Speaker 12: the desert and just started hitting me after having suck
- 39:02Speaker 12: with me, and thankfully I escaped and I ran. I
- 39:08Speaker 12: opened the door, I ran out of his car. It
- 39:11Speaker 12: was out in the middle of nowhere, it was dark.
- 39:15Speaker 12: I ran ran around, I hid, and he left. It
- 39:19Speaker 12: took me two hours to get back in the city.
- 39:21Speaker 12: I was naked. I'm like, oh my gosh, you know,
- 39:26Speaker 12: and that was her story. But other people have told
- 39:30Speaker 12: me about guys, you know, is it so, so there
- 39:36Speaker 12: has to be something to it. Was that guy Midnight Productions?
- 39:40Speaker 12: And is that how they do it? They solicit these young,
- 39:44Speaker 12: vulnerable women. They know they're vulnerable, they know they need money.
- 39:48Speaker 12: They'll do anything for the money. So if you put
- 39:52Speaker 12: all the pieces together, it could be that, you know,
- 39:56Speaker 12: Midnight Productions, that's.
- 39:58Speaker 21: Those stories are haunting.
- 40:01Speaker 3: And to also think about the fact that like police
- 40:04Speaker 3: don't take it seriously and that stuff, even if Midnight
- 40:09Speaker 3: Productions isn't real and that stuff is happening, that's deeply
- 40:13Speaker 3: disturbing that there are still men in the city that
- 40:17Speaker 3: are doing this actively to women, preying on those extremely
- 40:21Speaker 3: vulnerable and getting away with it.
- 40:25Speaker 12: Absolutely, no, yeah, absolutely, So the whole purpose of my
- 40:29Speaker 12: channel is prevention through awareness by me interviewing these folks
- 40:34Speaker 12: and how did you come out here, how did you
- 40:36Speaker 12: start using blues? Who introduced you to blues? What dangers
- 40:39Speaker 12: you're out here? I'm not trying to save the person
- 40:42Speaker 12: I'm talking to, because they have to save themselves. Bodwaut.
- 40:45Speaker 12: The twelve thirteen year old young girl at home that's lost,
- 40:49Speaker 12: confused and you know, fighting with their her parents before
- 40:52Speaker 12: she ends up out in the street, she needs to
- 40:54Speaker 12: hear that interview from this young woman that just escaped
- 40:58Speaker 12: somebody's in attempted kidnapping, and god knows what else. Right,
- 41:04Speaker 12: So that's really the intent of my channel. While I've
- 41:08Speaker 12: been doing this for three and a half years, talking
- 41:09Speaker 12: to a thousand people, you get these stories that are
- 41:13Speaker 12: some are more creepier than others, you know. And mind you,
- 41:18Speaker 12: a lot of people don't tell me what they go
- 41:20Speaker 12: through because they know that their mom, their family are
- 41:23Speaker 12: gonna watch the video and that kind of scares them
- 41:25Speaker 12: a little because they don't want to scare their family.
- 41:27Speaker 12: They're already scared, you know. And so again it's good
- 41:32Speaker 12: to talk about this because the youngsters at home to
- 41:36Speaker 12: not have them come out here. These are the dangers.
- 41:39Speaker 12: Nothing glamorous, nothing fun, lots of danger where people want
- 41:42Speaker 12: to end your life. They want to make you disappear,
- 41:45Speaker 12: you know. So what's it gonna take, you know, for
- 41:48Speaker 12: us to sound alarm? Why don't you go to the police.
- 41:54Speaker 12: I don't The police don't don't believe me, they say it.
- 41:57Speaker 12: First off, I have a warrant. I don't want to
- 41:59Speaker 12: talk to the police. You know, they'll take me to jail.
- 42:01Speaker 12: But we have I know, friends have gone to the
- 42:04Speaker 12: police and they don't take us seriously. We're just crackheads
- 42:08Speaker 12: to them. We're just addicts, you know, just with tall
- 42:11Speaker 12: tales and stories, you know, just for attention and whatnot.
- 42:13Speaker 12: But no, we have friends that are missing. You know
- 42:16Speaker 12: what about these people that escape? They don't want to
- 42:21Speaker 12: a lot of these folks aren't gonna, aren't willing to
- 42:24Speaker 12: be on a police report. Mm hm, that's what it is.
- 42:27Speaker 12: So it's so is it hard for the Phoenix Police
- 42:29Speaker 12: Department to escalate and really really dig in and and
- 42:33Speaker 12: you know, do their job because they're not gonna have
- 42:36Speaker 12: anybody corroborating it, you know.
- 42:37Speaker 25: M hm.
- 42:38Speaker 12: I'm not sure.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's just like the invisible crime and
- 42:44Speaker 3: all that stuff that happens that is never reported. You
- 42:47Speaker 3: know how many murders every year are not reported, and
- 42:50Speaker 3: domestic violence incidents.
- 42:52Speaker 21: It's crazy. I saw something that was like hundreds of thousands.
- 42:55Speaker 3: I might be wrong on that, but it was a
- 42:57Speaker 3: really big number of like just domestic viol incidents that
- 43:01Speaker 3: go on, recording stuff that's happening that we just don't
- 43:04Speaker 3: know about because it's not in a statistic And that's
- 43:07Speaker 3: what's happening here.
- 43:08Speaker 21: I think.
- 43:08Speaker 12: No, you're absolutely right. This community of thousands of people
- 43:12Speaker 12: out here, they don't call the police when they're fighting,
- 43:15Speaker 12: you know, when they're injured, when they're stabbed, when they're
- 43:19Speaker 12: fighting with each other, because they want they take their property,
- 43:21Speaker 12: they want to take their phone, they want to take
- 43:22Speaker 12: their clothes, their shoes. You know, I've interviewed they have
- 43:26Speaker 12: black eyes, you know, they have wounds. You know what happened?
- 43:32Speaker 12: I fell? You know follow you Okay, yeah I fell.
- 43:37Speaker 12: So But that's how I've interviewed people. They have a
- 43:43Speaker 12: broke have broken legs, broken fingers. Why don't you want
- 43:47Speaker 12: to go to hospital? Won't you go to call the police.
- 43:49Speaker 12: They just won't. These pills numb pain. So there's a
- 43:55Speaker 12: lot that they can put up with as far as
- 43:56Speaker 12: pain because it numbs them. It's a it's a it's opiate. Basically.
- 44:00Speaker 12: It's really scary what they're willing to put up with
- 44:03Speaker 12: for the addiction of these pills, you know, even possibly
- 44:07Speaker 12: losing their life with the overdose or somebody kidnapping them
- 44:11Speaker 12: and doing whatever they want to do with them. You know.
- 44:13Speaker 12: But I think these conversations need to be had because
- 44:17Speaker 12: somebody with authority needs to really dig in and and
- 44:21Speaker 12: you know, investigate what's happening. Who is Midnight Productions. Let's
- 44:24Speaker 12: you know, shine a light on it and what's going on,
- 44:26Speaker 12: you know, some undercover stuff or I don't know. But
- 44:30Speaker 12: more we talk about it, the more maybe they'll put
- 44:32Speaker 12: pressure on them to really dig in and that.
- 44:35Speaker 21: So I have a couple more questions.
- 44:36Speaker 3: So do you you keep saying like some of the
- 44:38Speaker 3: stories are creepier than others, do you have any specific
- 44:43Speaker 3: stories from people about something that happened to them or
- 44:46Speaker 3: a friend with Midnight Productions?
- 44:48Speaker 21: They stick out to you.
- 44:50Speaker 12: Uh, there's a guy, uh he said, he he he said,
- 44:56Speaker 12: a guy approached him to do a day. He said, So,
- 45:01Speaker 12: I've been heterosexual a in my life, always liked women,
- 45:04Speaker 12: but I've been addicted to these pills so much. I
- 45:06Speaker 12: need money so bad. I'm gonna get in a car
- 45:09Speaker 12: with somebody that's soliciting, you know. He said. That guy
- 45:12Speaker 12: got very aggressive and uh wanted to harm him and
- 45:20Speaker 12: he escaped as well. They were doing what they were
- 45:23Speaker 12: doing in the car, and uh, he was asking me
- 45:26Speaker 12: if you want to do you want to go back
- 45:28Speaker 12: to my house, you know, I'll give you more money.
- 45:31Speaker 12: That's the lure, you know. And uh, now it's okay, dude,
- 45:35Speaker 12: just give me the you know what we agreed on.
- 45:36Speaker 12: You know, we're good. And uh he tried to he
- 45:40Speaker 12: try to keep them. He try to, you know, keep
- 45:41Speaker 12: them in his car, and and and and and so
- 45:45Speaker 12: again it's a pattern, you know. So it's not just women,
- 45:49Speaker 12: you know. And mind you this this guy, he was
- 45:52Speaker 12: just doing what he was doing to get money, you know.
- 45:56Speaker 12: And so it's that addiction side of it, and just
- 45:58Speaker 12: that the things that you don't you don't really hear
- 46:01Speaker 12: about it, you know. You know, these are things that
- 46:02Speaker 12: people don't really discuss, especially on the streets, you know,
- 46:05Speaker 12: and I never published that because, Bro, I'm just gonna
- 46:10Speaker 12: tell you, okay, just because I feel comfortable with the
- 46:12Speaker 12: he said, you definitely don't upload the video, you know,
- 46:15Speaker 12: because I don't want my family to see that, you know,
- 46:17Speaker 12: to struggle out here, you know. So some stories are
- 46:21Speaker 12: creepier than others, you know, with the violence, just the
- 46:25Speaker 12: sheer amount of violence that they see on a daily basis.
- 46:28Speaker 12: You know, They've told me, I've seen people get I've
- 46:34Speaker 12: woken up and there's like some strange man I've never
- 46:37Speaker 12: met before laying next to me. I don't know what
- 46:39Speaker 12: happened last night because I was high off these pills.
- 46:41Speaker 12: They numb you. The pills numb you. It's a vulnerable community,
- 46:46Speaker 12: it really is. And so the people, these people that
- 46:50Speaker 12: are creeping on these folks know it. Are they purposely
- 46:54Speaker 12: buying them pills and giving them these pills and getting
- 46:57Speaker 12: them really high to really have them make them even
- 47:00Speaker 12: more vulnerable and just do whatever. So that's a scary
- 47:04Speaker 12: part about this that you hear all this from all
- 47:07Speaker 12: over the valley, and if you put it together, it
- 47:10Speaker 12: makes sense, you know. So it's really sad.
- 47:13Speaker 21: I mean, it's one thing.
- 47:15Speaker 26: Even midnight productions can just be a blanket statement too.
- 47:19Speaker 26: At the end of the day, evil stuff is happening,
- 47:23Speaker 26: and people are being preyed on, people are dying, people
- 47:27Speaker 26: are getting ripped, and this is a problem whether or
- 47:31Speaker 26: not you believe in midnight productions or think that other
- 47:36Speaker 26: people might be involved in this stuff. I mean, these
- 47:39Speaker 26: people are being victimized every day.
- 47:41Speaker 12: It's happening, and so they're so addicted that they're unwilling
- 47:49Speaker 12: to follow reports. They're unwilling to call the police and
- 47:52Speaker 12: talk to them. You know, I think because I've built
- 47:54Speaker 12: a report with these folks that I'm not trying to
- 47:56Speaker 12: get them in trouble. I'm not gonna you know, I
- 47:58Speaker 12: would respect their privacy if you don't want me to
- 48:01Speaker 12: tell this story or upload or whoever. All right, I
- 48:04Speaker 12: thank you for letting me know building that trust, and so, uh,
- 48:08Speaker 12: you bring up a good point. The more we talk
- 48:10Speaker 12: about it, right, whether it's a legitimate group of people
- 48:14Speaker 12: that they themselves call themselves Midnight productions, or it's you know,
- 48:19Speaker 12: random guys that aren't connected but are obviously victimizing this
- 48:24Speaker 12: this vulnerable population. It's disgusting and it definitely needs to
- 48:28Speaker 12: be talked about and create awareness and prevent people from
- 48:33Speaker 12: coming out here, because we don't want more young people disappearing.
- 48:37Speaker 12: You know, it's unfortunate that they're going through this addiction
- 48:40Speaker 12: and this stage in their life. But there are people
- 48:43Speaker 12: they're clean now, they're sober, you know, so sometimes people
- 48:48Speaker 12: trip up, and and and and and sobriety is just
- 48:51Speaker 12: around the corner. But can they do they survive these
- 48:56Speaker 12: these horror stories, right and kidnapped and midnight productions and
- 49:00Speaker 12: rapes and all these things that are happening. Unfortunately, you know,
- 49:05Speaker 12: it's just a lot of those victims don't come forward. Yeah,
- 49:09Speaker 12: they just don't come forward, just in just normal people
- 49:12Speaker 12: or in society. Right, I'm ashamed, I'm embarrassed. I don't
- 49:15Speaker 12: want nobody to know. So I'm just gonna not tell anybody. Right. Well,
- 49:18Speaker 12: that's that's even more true for this population you know
- 49:23Speaker 12: that are really hiding from the police, really hiding from
- 49:26Speaker 12: It's right below the surface. It's right below you know,
- 49:28Speaker 12: the world that you and I live in. You know,
- 49:31Speaker 12: it's you know, at night, stuff goes on that you
- 49:34Speaker 12: know while we're sleeping. It's a different world, you know
- 49:37Speaker 12: that there's different rules, different different everything. So it's really sad. Indeed,
- 49:42Speaker 12: so have.
- 49:43Speaker 3: People brought up to any like locations or areas that
- 49:47Speaker 3: they're specifically afraid of when it comes to midnight productions
- 49:52Speaker 3: or areas that they are known to like stalk.
- 49:55Speaker 12: So there is wherever the folks are at, that's where
- 50:02Speaker 12: they're gonna the midnight production is gonna be at. And
- 50:05Speaker 12: so these cars are creeping, this guy's watching me. It's
- 50:08Speaker 12: all over the valley because the north side, the south side,
- 50:13Speaker 12: the east side, the west side. Different people I don't
- 50:16Speaker 12: know each other have mentioned this to me. That's how
- 50:19Speaker 12: I give give it credence to legitimacy, is because different
- 50:22Speaker 12: people I don't know each other mentioned this. You know,
- 50:26Speaker 12: are they in white van? Somebody said a white van?
- 50:28Speaker 12: I saw all black car, no license play? Two guys?
- 50:34Speaker 12: Somebody said it was one guy? Is he black? Is
- 50:36Speaker 12: he hispanic? Is he white? Yeah, it's all of that.
- 50:41Speaker 12: So that's the problem is that there's nothing concrete. It's
- 50:45Speaker 12: just what people say and rumor gossip, innuendo. But again
- 50:49Speaker 12: there's amongst all that there's some credibility in that. You know,
- 50:55Speaker 12: so because so many people are saying.
- 50:57Speaker 3: It and they don't know, none of them know each there,
- 51:00Speaker 3: So they're corroborating the stories, mean just you know, telling.
- 51:04Speaker 12: Them that's exactly what I'm you know, at first when
- 51:07Speaker 12: I heard about it, just just tall tales. But then
- 51:11Speaker 12: when different people throughout the valley, because again the value
- 51:14Speaker 12: is very spread out right, you go from one end
- 51:16Speaker 12: of the value to the other end, it takes you
- 51:19Speaker 12: an hour. But these people don't talk to each other.
- 51:22Speaker 12: It's just they have the same lifestyle, addiction, homelessness, same vulnerabilities.
- 51:28Speaker 12: And so that's what gives it an air of legitimacy
- 51:32Speaker 12: to me, like, oh, shoot, this is true because they're
- 51:35Speaker 12: saying they're describing the same situations, the same type of
- 51:40Speaker 12: events out here, you know, so they're and and and
- 51:43Speaker 12: uh and that's the worst part about it is that
- 51:46Speaker 12: it just adds another layer for them to be uh
- 51:50Speaker 12: that they're susceptible to, you know, and so uh So
- 51:53Speaker 12: we have those conversations, and you know, you'd be surprised
- 51:56Speaker 12: to how many people say, don't yeah, don't don't ask
- 51:59Speaker 12: me any night questions on when I interview them. You know,
- 52:02Speaker 12: we talk about it right now off camera, but I
- 52:05Speaker 12: don't want my name associated with many productions. And why
- 52:11Speaker 12: they'll say I don't want my family to worry more
- 52:16Speaker 12: r because they're already worried. They think I'm od any
- 52:19Speaker 12: day now, right, So that's one worry. And then the
- 52:21Speaker 12: other worry is midnight productions. They kill people, they make
- 52:24Speaker 12: people disappear. So I really don't want them for my
- 52:28Speaker 12: mom to worry even more, you know, another layer of
- 52:30Speaker 12: a worry for my mom.
- 52:32Speaker 21: I donor even expose yourself talking about it and let
- 52:35Speaker 21: them know.
- 52:35Speaker 27: They exactly, you know something here there's a face to
- 52:40Speaker 27: someone who knows about it, And I mean then that
- 52:43Speaker 27: makes you like a number one factim exactly.
- 52:46Speaker 12: So if these people exist, they're watching these channels, these
- 52:50Speaker 12: they're watching these interviews.
- 52:52Speaker 21: They're going to be watching this video, right, guarantee.
- 52:55Speaker 12: Right. And so again that's why we have to have
- 52:59Speaker 12: the courage shed light on it, shed light on it,
- 53:02Speaker 12: make it aware, make awareness and uh and uh and
- 53:06Speaker 12: hopefully again authorities investigate, just dig in to what's really happening. Right,
- 53:12Speaker 12: There's only so much you can do and that I
- 53:14Speaker 12: can do. Ultimately, authority is gonna have to really dig
- 53:17Speaker 12: in and go go try to find these people, you know,
- 53:21Speaker 12: and and go find these people that are missing. Right.
- 53:24Speaker 12: So I think it's. Uh, That's why I agree to
- 53:27Speaker 12: talk because I think, you know, I appreciate you guys,
- 53:30Speaker 12: you know, wanting to dig into it because in three
- 53:33Speaker 12: and a half years, nobody's ever asked me about it,
- 53:35Speaker 12: you know, crazy, And so I've had detectives from the
- 53:38Speaker 12: city Phoenix call me. I had about people I have interviewed,
- 53:42Speaker 12: you know, save Versona, Hey, you interviewed this person? Where
- 53:45Speaker 12: are they? You know, we the stave Aversona are responsible
- 53:48Speaker 12: for team care of the you know, so people reach
- 53:51Speaker 12: out to me that are of authority, police, the state,
- 53:56Speaker 12: But why are they not reaching out about these folks?
- 53:58Speaker 9: Right?
- 54:01Speaker 19: So?
- 54:01Speaker 12: I know they're watching. What I'm saying is I know
- 54:03Speaker 12: authorities are watching my challenge because they literally call me.
- 54:07Speaker 12: But why are they not asking about this group of
- 54:11Speaker 12: people that out here victimizing these victims? You know? So,
- 54:16Speaker 12: but the more we shake the trees, I think eventually
- 54:19Speaker 12: they'll have to you kind of have to answer the
- 54:21Speaker 12: call at some point at some point.
- 54:23Speaker 3: So I guess final question, you believe that whether or
- 54:27Speaker 3: not it's Midnight Productions or not, there is a group
- 54:30Speaker 3: that's doing this.
- 54:31Speaker 12: Stuff, right without a doubt, do you think.
- 54:34Speaker 21: It's midnight Productions.
- 54:35Speaker 12: I'm gonna say yes because that's the name that these
- 54:39Speaker 12: folks know them by, you know, So who came up
- 54:44Speaker 12: with the name, right, if nobody has escaped their grasp,
- 54:48Speaker 12: where do the name come from? Is it just what
- 54:51Speaker 12: this population identifies them as, just to give them a name.
- 54:55Speaker 12: So I'm gonna say yes. And regardless there's no name.
- 54:59Speaker 12: If it's just random individuals doing the same things victimizing
- 55:02Speaker 12: these people, they still need to be stopped. Right, whether
- 55:06Speaker 12: it's a group or individuals just randomly doing this on
- 55:10Speaker 12: their own, they need to be stopped as well. Because
- 55:13Speaker 12: there's a there's definitely people are being victimized, for sure.
- 55:16Speaker 12: And some of the people I've interviewed where are they?
- 55:20Speaker 12: Haven't heard from them? Their parents call me, Hey, you
- 55:23Speaker 12: interviewed my daughter two years ago. Have you seen her?
- 55:26Speaker 12: I haven't, Well, where are they?
- 55:31Speaker 28: It's freaky.
- 55:34Speaker 3: Well thanks man, appreciate you having the discussion with us.
- 55:41Speaker 21: Some really dark stuff.
- 55:42Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, based on what we've heard from
- 55:46Speaker 3: multiple people, now there is one something that is going
- 55:51Speaker 3: on at Minymore, even if it's not you know, shadowy
- 55:54Speaker 3: criminal enterprise called Mitnam Productions, and you it's interesting and
- 56:00Speaker 3: hearing the stories of repeated people targeting them with cars,
- 56:05Speaker 3: you know, because what you read online is they got
- 56:08Speaker 3: me to get into the car and then they brought.
- 56:09Speaker 21: Me back to a house where they videotape me beginning.
- 56:13Speaker 29: I managed to get away.
- 56:16Speaker 21: It just makes me wonder.
- 56:18Speaker 12: How many people have been got it right right.
- 56:23Speaker 3: There's no census, you know, homeless population really because so
- 56:27Speaker 3: many people are just out there and it's unfortunate.
- 56:30Speaker 21: That's what like society with deem is people that aren't
- 56:34Speaker 21: worthy of help.
- 56:35Speaker 3: You know, it's such a callous and mentality that people have.
- 56:38Speaker 21: But it's true.
- 56:41Speaker 12: The people that I interview are so we have a
- 56:44Speaker 12: pretty extensive network of highways freeways here in Phoenix, and
- 56:49Speaker 12: the people that I interview, they're right off the freeway,
- 56:54Speaker 12: right off the freeway, right off the freeway, because the
- 56:58Speaker 12: dealers easy access to go, drop to fath get their money,
- 57:02Speaker 12: and get on the freeway and boom, they're out right
- 57:07Speaker 12: quick trip, QT, circle K convenience stores, gas. You know,
- 57:11Speaker 12: so you'll have a lot of people that are going
- 57:13Speaker 12: to be hanging out at these stores because that's how
- 57:15Speaker 12: they handhandled and that's how they meet their plug, their
- 57:19Speaker 12: their dealer and so, but who else is using it?
- 57:24Speaker 12: The people that are chasing them the midnight productions are
- 57:28Speaker 12: the individuals. You know, Okay, let me go look for
- 57:30Speaker 12: a victim. Oh, shoot, she's by herself. Oh she's right
- 57:33Speaker 12: off the freeway. Let me go try to lure her
- 57:36Speaker 12: with fifty bucks to get in my vehicle for you know,
- 57:40Speaker 12: so a date. That's it. That's the last time anybody
- 57:45Speaker 12: is going to see that person.
- 57:46Speaker 10: You know.
- 57:46Speaker 21: That's the craziest part too.
- 57:48Speaker 26: I mean, because you can pull up to a gas
- 57:50Speaker 26: station and look like you're just normal citizen and no
- 57:54Speaker 26: one would bad den eye about it, and it doesn't
- 57:56Speaker 26: make you stand out. And so it's not that like
- 58:00Speaker 26: a shady car driving down a back alley where no
- 58:03Speaker 26: one's there and he sees a girl walking there and
- 58:06Speaker 26: like grabs them and pulls them in their car. Means
- 58:10Speaker 26: it might happen every once in a while, but in reality,
- 58:13Speaker 26: this is probably how it's happening.
- 58:17Speaker 12: I mean, that's that's just really freaky to me.
- 58:19Speaker 21: Normal looking people doing things.
- 58:23Speaker 12: And this is so prevalent with this population here in Phoenix.
- 58:27Speaker 12: Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the nation. We
- 58:30Speaker 12: have such a big problem with these individuals right, just
- 58:33Speaker 12: so many society doesn't acknowledge them anymore. No, I don't
- 58:39Speaker 12: got a dollar. You know, if the kind of throwaways,
- 58:42Speaker 12: we don't pay attention anymore. We just step over them.
- 58:46Speaker 12: That the guy that's laying on the side, all we
- 58:47Speaker 12: just step over them and instead of checking if they
- 58:49Speaker 12: if they're okay, if they're alive. You know, I've been driving,
- 58:53Speaker 12: I've literally seen dead bodies in the in the alley,
- 58:57Speaker 12: you know, And so we become so used to it,
- 59:04Speaker 12: accustomed to it, that the bad guys take advantage of that.
- 59:09Speaker 12: You know. That's what's going on. That adds to it.
- 59:12Speaker 12: I believe, I firmly believe in that.
- 59:16Speaker 3: All that is incredibly disturbing stuff. They're torturing people, abducting people,
- 59:20Speaker 3: people selling and harvesting organs, and it's only gonna get
- 59:24Speaker 3: worse from there. Now.
- 59:25Speaker 4: I want to point out.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Weirdly I had for this trip. This was the first
- 59:30Speaker 3: video I ever filmed with that big VHS camera you've
- 59:32Speaker 3: seen me using, and the entire tape of the midnight
- 59:36Speaker 3: production stuff that we shot completely broke. I don't know
- 59:39Speaker 3: what happened there, Like the whole tape is gone. So
- 59:42Speaker 3: a bunch of b roll got lost stuff from interviews
- 59:45Speaker 3: and just little things. But I'm gonna cut right now
- 59:48Speaker 3: to our first night in Phoenix when we set out
- 59:51Speaker 3: to investigate midnight productions.
- 59:53Speaker 4: And this is where it gets really scary, all right.
- 59:57Speaker 3: So we just got to Phoenix today. Our plan was
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: to interview some of the people who unfortunately live here
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: on the streets of Arizona. We wanted to try to
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: talk to some people, but the sunset's really early here
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: and we didn't even realize there's the final four college
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: basketball teams playing a championship in town.
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: But we're starting off tonight.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: Obviously, we're gonna take you guys with us as we
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: explore some of these spots that I've done some research into.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: I just want to point this out. I think it's weird.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: So I bought this Sony VHS camera for this trip
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: because I loved the VHS.
- 1:00:30Speaker 28: Look.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: You guys have seen it in my documentaries in the past.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: I try to put VHS glitches, So I figured why
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: not get an old camera and actually film on it.
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: I popped in this tape that the guy I bought
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: it from sent with us, and it's like video of
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: a bunch of kids in Mexico on a mission trip.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: And I don't know, isn't that just kind of strange?
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: Like I feel like it's really weird when we're filming
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: a video right now about like and like just a
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: random videotape of children. Who knows, Like what the hell
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: happened to these kids? Like where they ended up? This
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: is from two thousand and three, and look here, I'll
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: play you a clip, but I'm gonna have to cut
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: the music because there's like some copyrighted music behind it.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: But look at this, please continue praying for our brothers
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: and sisters in Aguahita.
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: I just think it's bizarre.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: Man, It's obviously nothing, but I just think with the
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: subject matter that we're diving into on this video, it's
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: really an odd synchronicity and it's I don't know. We're
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: both a little nervous tonight, but I guess it's time
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: to head off, man, you ready, So before we head
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: out tonight, I just want to state this is our
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: first night and this is a story that I've been
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: passionate about diving into for months now, So it's weird
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: to be here in person. But it's also kind of
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: eerie because to me, two distinct possibilities exist in this case.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: On one hand, you have the possibility that all of
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: this is fake, none of it's happening. There's no child,
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: there's no murder ring that's abducting homeless women videotaping them
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: being tortured and murdered.
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: That doesn't exist.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: The other possibility, the only other possibility, is that the
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: stuff is happening here in Phoenix where we are, and
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: nobody's talking about it, and by barking up the wrong tree,
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: who fucking knows what's gonna happen. Definitely a little more
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: on edge. Ghost hunting is easy. Connor and I say it.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: We're not afraid of ghosts, definitely afraid of the living.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: And these people, if they're real, could definitely kill us.
- 1:02:54Speaker 26: So people are way more scary than a ghost is.
- 1:02:58Speaker 26: I mean, the things that we're pursuing tonight, this is
- 1:03:01Speaker 26: stories of murderers, people who were dismembering people assaulting them,
- 1:03:07Speaker 26: bring them. I mean, this is some really really fucked
- 1:03:11Speaker 26: up ship that we're getting into. And there's people that
- 1:03:15Speaker 26: are coming up missing about stuff like this, that are
- 1:03:19Speaker 26: talking about this, So I mean, it's it's really scary stuff.
- 1:03:24Speaker 30: Well, I think it's time we go, man, I think so,
- 1:03:29Speaker 30: you ready?
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: So right now we're driving in Phoenix. The first place
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: we wanted to go visit was a number of areas
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: in town that are known for trafficking. These areas are
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: trafficking hotspots.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: Right now, we are.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: Approaching fifty first Avenue and McDowell. This is an area
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: where I've seen plenty of news reports about how many
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: things have occurred here. Something eerie that I think about is,
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: let's say you see a six worker on the street,
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: More than likely that means that the person pimping them out,
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: controlling them in the trafficker, they're probably somewhere in the
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: area too.
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: I just feel like if Midnight Productions is real and
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: they're operating and they're doing some skeazy shit, I feel
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: like this would be definitely an area that they could
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: potentially target. It's almost like the hunting grounds.
- 1:04:49Speaker 21: Of these people.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean, we've passed easily five six.
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: Women walking up and down the street just now, which
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: is sad and terrifying at the same time.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: I can't even imagine, you know, I can't imagine what
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: it's like this is just the start fifty first Avenue
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: and McDowell here in Phoenix. This is a six trafficking
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: hot spot here in the city. This stuff, by the way,
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: is happening everywhere in America, in every city in America,
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: every single day.
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: It just isn't talked about.
- 1:05:25Speaker 19: You.
- 1:05:25Speaker 31: Here's somebody fucking like screaming, what's that?
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: So all the b roll of that street and these
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: houses that we're going to be talking about, all that
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: stuff is gone because it was on that camera.
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: But I do want to point out.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: The thing that I was really pissed off that we
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: lost on that camera was a small clip.
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: So Connor and I stopped at a.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: Raising Canes because we saw what looked like a police
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: officer outside. He ended up just being security, but we
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: got out of the car. We went over and we
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: asked the security guard what do you know about midnight
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: production and trafficking in this area? And he literally looked
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: like a ghost. His color drained from his face. He
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: looked at us and he said, don't say that too
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: loudly around here, and be careful. You asked that too,
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: and we were like, what do you mean. He's like,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: this is just a really bad part of town man
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: you don't know, like who's out here, which we got
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: back into the car after that and we were like,
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: holy that is crazy. So we had already come across
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: a guy out in public who seemed to believe in
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: midnight productions. After that we knew that I'm really really
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: mad that I lost that clip because I know somebody
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: out there is gonna be like, oh, that didn't happen.
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: But it did. Swear on everything in my life it
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: did happen. But after that we started heading through the
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: midnight productions hotspots where the torture hotels, snuff film rooms.
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: All that is.
- 1:06:52Speaker 9: Located is the world's oldest profession On the rise in
- 1:06:55Speaker 9: your neighborhood.
- 1:06:56Speaker 8: Two trafficking survivors driving across that's the valley with us
- 1:07:01Speaker 8: pointing out the places they used to work that could
- 1:07:04Speaker 8: see a resurgence. It's Thursday night, just after eleven o'clock,
- 1:07:09Speaker 8: when most of the valley is asleep. Twenty seventh Avenue
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: between Indian School and Northern starts to come alive. Dozens
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: of women walking the streets selling sts for money. It
- 1:07:23Speaker 8: took no time at all to see activity and in
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: a thirty minute span, our twelve news cameras capturing Phoenix
- 1:07:31Speaker 8: police officers questioning two women on suspicion of pres They
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: find out this girl is just seventeen, so they hold
- 1:07:41Speaker 8: her until she gets picked up by a relative.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Any stretch of road that you have girls working on
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: is a track.
- 1:07:48Speaker 8: This woman claiming to be visiting from out of town
- 1:07:52Speaker 8: a story they've heard several times over. With no evidence
- 1:07:57Speaker 8: of a crime being committed, they let her go. She
- 1:08:00Speaker 8: goes back to walking up and down the track. This
- 1:08:04Speaker 8: routine painfully familiar for two young women.
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: I know these sidewalks by heart.
- 1:08:09Speaker 8: Both of them six trafficking survivors.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: I would come out at like seven or maybe eight
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: o'clock at night, and I would be out here until
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: six or seven the next morning.
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: I dealt with all different kinds of people from all.
- 1:08:24Speaker 21: Different economic background.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: There was no way to anticipate what your day was
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: gonna look like and who you're gonna have to.
- 1:08:31Speaker 21: Spend it with.
- 1:08:31Speaker 8: Another busy spot fifty first Avenue and McDowell.
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: A lot of these hotels I would have tick stain
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: in them too, and a.
- 1:08:41Speaker 8: Couple of blocks from there, the truck stop just south
- 1:08:44Speaker 8: of the ten.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I'll try my hardest to make enough money to not
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: have to go to the truck stop. Pretty much any
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: part of Townley you going, there's gonna be somewhere where
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: this is really not. Yeah, I was scared, but I
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: guess I had to do it, or I thought I
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: had to do.
- 1:09:02Speaker 8: In the case of nearly every sex trafficking victim, they're
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: working under the control of a pimp. According to these survivors,
- 1:09:11Speaker 8: he was almost always close by lingering at a bar
- 1:09:15Speaker 8: or gas station.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: He would be there as soon as it was done
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: and come and pick up the mine.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: So everything that we present here on this episode has
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: to be taken with a grain of salt. Like I've
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: said many times, we're actively investigating a six ring that
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: has never been caught, has never been proven, but there
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: are hundreds of allected victims that have shared their testimonies.
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: And I did a ton of research for this video,
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: like days, days and days of research, and an address
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: that consistently kept appearing in the research is in this
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: neighborhood right here, which is creepy being here right now,
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: because I've seen images of this neighborhood on Google. Apparently
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: in one of these houses there is a torture Murder
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: Hotel is what they refer to it as. Basically, it's
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: a building where some of the traffickers from Midnight productions
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: in the past have taken victims, assaulted them on video,
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: tortured them, and murdered them, created these snuff films in
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: a house on this in this area. Obviously, Yeah, we
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: don't know if that's We don't know.
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: If that's true.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: I have nothing that could possibly prove that that's true,
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: other than the fact that on like five different message
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: boards that I found talking about this stuff, there were
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: different users from different years discussing this house in this area.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: This is a very normal, very normal looking neighborhood. You
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: just expect families to be living here. You would never
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: imagine the things that happen here are straight out of
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: a freaking nightmare. The details of this whole case read
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: like a horror movie.
- 1:11:16Speaker 21: It's fucking hear.
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: Supposedly right around here. And the people that I read
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: talking about this said that there are multiple bodies buried
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: on this property and.
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: Let the police know that.
- 1:11:30Speaker 29: This is happening.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: And obviously part of the whole thing is that they're
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: in on it. This is what trafficking looks like. This
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: is what file rings look like. They look like normal
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: houses on normal fucking streets with normal people that live
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: in them. It's just the things that they do behind
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: the closed doors that are as far from normal as
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: you can possibly get. I just wanted to drive through
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: this area and kind of show you guys what it
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: looks like.
- 1:12:03Speaker 21: Dude, look at more cops.
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: This is like, I don't know what the hell happened tonight,
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: but dude, look at him.
- 1:12:14Speaker 28: Bro, what the fuck?
- 1:12:18Speaker 32: Trden's comment?
- 1:12:34Speaker 12: Weird?
- 1:12:35Speaker 26: Did you notice that none of them were marked cars?
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: When do you see that?
- 1:12:40Speaker 21: Even?
- 1:12:40Speaker 26: I think it's really funny, weird that there's that manys
- 1:12:44Speaker 26: on but they're all unmarked cars.
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: That was crazy, dude.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: We're on the trail of midnight productions and we've I've
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: done a lot of research into this subject. I don't
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: know what's going on in Phoenix in this area this evening.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: There is a massive police presence. Back when we were
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: filming just thirty minutes ago, we saw what five cars
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: speeding by, and just now right here we saw an
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: additional five four police cars. We could hear sirens. We're
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: in Tempe, Arizona, which is twenty twenty or so minutes
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: from where we were just filming. Right behind me, you
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: can see this is the Hayden Mill, the old mill
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: in Tempe. This area has come up in the last decade,
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: couple of decades, like a lot of these buildings are new,
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: and back in the day, this old mill was just
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: completely abandoned. And actually the renovation just started on this
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: place a couple of years back. But from what I
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: researched online, I also saw multiple people talking about how
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: this mill, back when it was empty, used to be
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: a midnight productions hotspot. I mean, when you think about it,
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: it's perfect.
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: A building like.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: This is still in the city limits, but it's very,
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: very isolated.
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: It's huge, there's multiple levels to it.
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: If it's true the authorities were in on this whole thing,
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: they could have been protecting, you know, making sure nobody
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: came in under the guise of trespassing. Well, some weird
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: shit was going down, and from what we've gathered tonight,
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: there's some weird shit going on in Phoenix, so I
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: believe that.
- 1:14:18Speaker 33: Yeah, just light, it's crazy, bright, dude, It's not only crazy,
- 1:14:27Speaker 33: it's absolutely eerie to me to think about just what
- 1:14:31Speaker 33: happened inside of this building.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: I mean genuinely, once again, if you go with the
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: whole who knows if this is true or not. If
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: this is true, if this story actually happened, that means
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: there were multiple people murdered, assaulted, then murdered, mutilated, tortured
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: on camera inside of this building and it's been completely
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: covered up.
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: I'm not going to say that it's.
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: True, but if you do research into the subject, this
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: place comes up a lot as a hot spot.
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: So we can walk overlook at it.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, imagine back in the day, this is
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: shrouded in darkness. There's a tunnel providing access into that
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: huge building it without anybody seeing you.
- 1:15:14Speaker 21: Like, that's filled in for a reason.
- 1:15:17Speaker 28: Stuff has just been putting in there.
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: So the next day we wanted to get up and
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: go ask members of the local homeless population for ourselves.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: Do you guys know what midnight productions is? And even
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: if you don't know who or what midnight productions is,
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: do you know just in general, anybody who's gone missing
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: off the streets, who's vanished, Because it's not like if
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: someone disappears in Phoenix, they're just gonna come out and
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: proclaim it's midnight productions and we took them like they're
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: gonna leave no evidence at all. And if you really
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: consider this theory as involving authority figures, police law enforcement,
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: these people are gonna make sure that their tracks are
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: completely covered and they're not gonna leave any evidence. And
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: like I said, if there's authorities in it, they even
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: could go in and delete security camera footage, lie, make
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: false police reports, falsify evidence. There's a lot of reasons
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: why this stuff could be covered up so easily. But
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: let's talk to those guys on the street now.
- 1:16:18Speaker 15: By my name is George from Phoenix, Arizona. And what
- 1:16:23Speaker 15: I've heard about Midnight Productions. Yeah, but yeah, I've heard
- 1:16:26Speaker 15: about that and that.
- 1:16:27Speaker 12: No, that's not ship.
- 1:16:29Speaker 15: That's just not good. I don't like that shit about
- 1:16:31Speaker 15: men coming around women, Like how is that? How are
- 1:16:35Speaker 15: you gonna do that? How are you gonna come around
- 1:16:40Speaker 15: a woman that you don't even know or anything? Like
- 1:16:47Speaker 15: how are you gonna come from another state or wherever
- 1:16:50Speaker 15: you're from and come to Phoenix, Arizona and just be
- 1:16:55Speaker 15: trying to somebody or something like? That's not good.
- 1:17:00Speaker 12: People talk about like.
- 1:17:03Speaker 34: People kidnapped kids and would put them in crazy or
- 1:17:10Speaker 34: some ship like that and take them somewhere and nobody
- 1:17:13Speaker 34: would have known where they're.
- 1:17:14Speaker 15: Rat yeah, crazy somewhere and just hide them and keep them.
- 1:17:23Speaker 15: But they the like it's crazy because I know what
- 1:17:29Speaker 15: I know how it is here. I'm born and raised
- 1:17:34Speaker 15: from Phoenix, Arizona. And even though I'm born and raised,
- 1:17:39Speaker 15: but I kind of hate Phoenix, Arizona now, just because
- 1:17:43Speaker 15: all the ship that's going on here, Like, dude, that's
- 1:17:45Speaker 15: not right, especially if we're going especially we're going people
- 1:17:50Speaker 15: people going around trying to be rimmen, Like, no, how
- 1:17:54Speaker 15: are you just gonna go and do that? That's not right.
- 1:17:58Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of anybody ady getting abducted and
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: just never being seen again that you've.
- 1:18:04Speaker 15: Known at the time. I am currently homeless, and I
- 1:18:08Speaker 15: hate it, but it's something I'm going through. So yes,
- 1:18:16Speaker 15: a few weeks ago, I was by the shelter. Some
- 1:18:21Speaker 15: guy picked up some girl and ever since I had
- 1:18:26Speaker 15: not seen her.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: Do you have any idea where she went?
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: Who would have taken her?
- 1:18:31Speaker 21: I don't know.
- 1:18:33Speaker 15: I know I was some white guy, but I don't
- 1:18:36Speaker 15: know where he was from. I don't know nothing about him.
- 1:18:39Speaker 15: He just came up rolling around And that's what's crazy too,
- 1:18:43Speaker 15: because people when you stay downtown, a lot of people
- 1:18:46Speaker 15: just work around here. They think they can roll around
- 1:18:51Speaker 15: downtown and just pick somebody up.
- 1:18:54Speaker 32: So how long is that tobenness?
- 1:18:57Speaker 15: From what I know of now, maybe a little over
- 1:19:01Speaker 15: a month and.
- 1:19:02Speaker 12: A half now, damn right over in this.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: Area, yes, because this is like doing our research.
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: This is this whole area.
- 1:19:12Speaker 32: It's like real bad.
- 1:19:14Speaker 4: Yes, well, what's crazy?
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: There's people that talk about midnight productions online and three
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: of the addresses that they listed were on Van Buren
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: and like in this five mile stretch.
- 1:19:27Speaker 4: Yes, of like houses where they take.
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: These women and film them getting.
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: Like worked and murdered, which is faing scary.
- 1:19:34Speaker 26: One of the locations is like behind the boxing jet
- 1:19:38Speaker 26: over Oh.
- 1:19:39Speaker 4: Yeah, literally right there. What about you guys?
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: Have you heard anything about midnight productions or sex trafficking?
- 1:19:44Speaker 35: But I heard it a little bit about in.
- 1:19:48Speaker 34: And they talked about it like how college, how they
- 1:19:51Speaker 34: would capture these people and and.
- 1:19:55Speaker 12: You'll bring it to a place to where they don't
- 1:19:58Speaker 12: know where.
- 1:19:58Speaker 15: They're at then like they're trying to they're like some
- 1:20:03Speaker 15: kind of some kind of tunnel rugging or something, and
- 1:20:08Speaker 15: they'll they'll take them somewhere to where like they try.
- 1:20:11Speaker 15: They not trying to know where they're at. But it's
- 1:20:16Speaker 15: crazy because some women sometimes too, even though when they
- 1:20:22Speaker 15: do that, they still.
- 1:20:23Speaker 12: Know where they're at.
- 1:20:24Speaker 15: They're they're looking out where they're going, and that's always
- 1:20:29Speaker 15: a good thing. But from what I've heard lately, nobody's
- 1:20:35Speaker 15: been looking out. And yes, I've heard about one woman
- 1:20:41Speaker 15: up here being abducted and just disappeared and I ain't
- 1:20:45Speaker 15: seen her ever since, and it's been over a month
- 1:20:47Speaker 15: and a half going on two months now, and she
- 1:20:52Speaker 15: was a real beautiful woman.
- 1:20:54Speaker 19: When they capture these people.
- 1:20:57Speaker 12: Like you don't see their faith for their faith's comforts,
- 1:21:00Speaker 12: and there can't really.
- 1:21:03Speaker 7: Yeah, three guys tried to grab.
- 1:21:07Speaker 12: One of my friends up his girlfriends on the parking lot. Really,
- 1:21:13Speaker 12: they went there together and then she.
- 1:21:16Speaker 7: Was waiting outside the car and he was walking away
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: from the car and then.
- 1:21:20Speaker 12: He just stopped and I don't know what.
- 1:21:25Speaker 7: I'm not sure why he turned around to look, you know,
- 1:21:28Speaker 7: he turned around and looked at her and he's seen
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: three guys with mask on, like he just said, and
- 1:21:35Speaker 7: grabbing her. And then he ran back and they got
- 1:21:38Speaker 7: to a fistfight and the three guys will get ran
- 1:21:40Speaker 7: off out of the car left.
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: That's fucking scary.
- 1:21:43Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I don't know if that's any connection anything,
- 1:21:46Speaker 7: but that's I mean, that's not every day of carrents,
- 1:21:49Speaker 7: you know.
- 1:21:49Speaker 15: No, Like, honestly, I can tell you, I can tell
- 1:21:53Speaker 15: you this, just I can tell you this right now too.
- 1:21:56Speaker 15: I was by the shelter right down the street, and
- 1:22:01Speaker 15: I guess some woman that stays there, she not all there.
- 1:22:07Speaker 12: She talks to herself like that.
- 1:22:11Speaker 15: And just because she.
- 1:22:13Speaker 12: Said you you're.
- 1:22:16Speaker 15: You beacher something something, some guy goes and starts beating
- 1:22:22Speaker 15: her up. It starts dumping on her head the cow up.
- 1:22:27Speaker 15: You're gonna be doing that, dude? And then what I
- 1:22:30Speaker 15: didn't like either is a security guard came up to
- 1:22:35Speaker 15: him and talk to him and just let him go, Like,
- 1:22:42Speaker 15: what the hell are you gonna do that, dude?
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: A lot of that here, Phoenix especially, you mean, just
- 1:22:48Speaker 7: like violence, violence, letter, racially motivated events from New York,
- 1:23:00Speaker 7: the Midnight Production, nothing like this, nothing like this. You know,
- 1:23:04Speaker 7: I've been here, bub missed three years. This is like
- 1:23:07Speaker 7: another world m homeless issue, the DWAG issues, the lack
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: of been turned for the government mm hm. You know what,
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: the women being assaulted Vanishing, that the big deal. People
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: sitting on the Quanta doing drugs not a big deal.
- 1:23:28Speaker 7: Someone homeless city on sidewalk stay not a big deal.
- 1:23:34Speaker 12: It's crazy they don't care.
- 1:23:36Speaker 26: That's crazy too, because I mean, with the research that
- 1:23:39Speaker 26: we've done, a lot of people are saying that.
- 1:23:42Speaker 4: I mean, the police and.
- 1:23:44Speaker 26: The government are involved in midnight production.
- 1:23:49Speaker 12: Happy, We're all involved.
- 1:23:51Speaker 15: They're not gonna and they're not gonna tell you nothing.
- 1:23:53Speaker 26: So someone goes missing, someone files the police report, They're
- 1:23:58Speaker 26: not going to do anything about it, going.
- 1:23:59Speaker 12: To do everything happened.
- 1:24:02Speaker 15: They're literally just gonna make it look like y'all while
- 1:24:06Speaker 15: the it's on police hands.
- 1:24:09Speaker 12: Yeah, like police can handle it. But what are the
- 1:24:12Speaker 12: police going to do about it.
- 1:24:14Speaker 19: Nothing.
- 1:24:14Speaker 15: They're just gonna sit there, maybe look through it for
- 1:24:18Speaker 15: maybe a day or two, and after that it's nothing
- 1:24:21Speaker 15: to them.
- 1:24:22Speaker 7: We look at Montana over twenty years, all these women
- 1:24:26Speaker 7: was once one particular special road Vanishing. We would think
- 1:24:32Speaker 7: in twenty years, you know, find the lead or something, right,
- 1:24:35Speaker 7: I mean something No. I've known a lot of women
- 1:24:39Speaker 7: here that I've seen every day, spoke to.
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: But that ship a lot really just next day.
- 1:24:49Speaker 7: Weren't at breakfast, weren't there when I asked my calls? Nothing?
- 1:24:55Speaker 7: The next day, call again, your phone numbers out of service?
- 1:24:59Speaker 21: Really?
- 1:25:00Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, these people up, whether they're from Arizona,
- 1:25:05Speaker 7: my family here, just Vanish gone.
- 1:25:08Speaker 36: Thanks.
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fucking scary.
- 1:25:12Speaker 7: I mean, granted, you know, it's got to allow for it.
- 1:25:15Speaker 7: You know, people sometimes just pack up and leave and move. Yeah,
- 1:25:19Speaker 7: shit happens.
- 1:25:20Speaker 26: But the people that are supposed to be looking after
- 1:25:24Speaker 26: everybody out here isn't doing their job. And so whether
- 1:25:29Speaker 26: or not the police are involved in it, there's not
- 1:25:33Speaker 26: like justice.
- 1:25:33Speaker 15: Will still look for a few weeks, yeah, but then
- 1:25:36Speaker 15: after that it's no because they don't know what's going on,
- 1:25:40Speaker 15: Like Okay, she's okay or they're okay, we'll hear back
- 1:25:46Speaker 15: from them.
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and even if Midnight Productions isn't real, but people
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: are still getting abducted and yeah, just eating. You know,
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: it's like, it's sucking wild to me that the police
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: don't actually treat any of the seriously or the local government,
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: Like what do you guys think could be done to
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: like the.
- 1:26:06Speaker 15: Situation yesterday that I seen that woman getting into her
- 1:26:09Speaker 15: her head Thompton. That guy fucking one up to him her.
- 1:26:16Speaker 15: He hasn't stopped for a little bit, like maybe by
- 1:26:18Speaker 15: ten minutes after that to let him go. A couple
- 1:26:23Speaker 15: of all the security guards run running out of him.
- 1:26:26Speaker 15: They caught him, cop showed up, but the dude was
- 1:26:29Speaker 15: already gone.
- 1:26:31Speaker 12: He ran.
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: So what do you even do at that point? They're
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: already gone.
- 1:26:37Speaker 37: Yeah, there's nothing nobody can.
- 1:26:40Speaker 12: Do once he leaves the scene. It's kind of hard.
- 1:26:43Speaker 7: They can arrest. A proper conviction has to have some
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: kind of validity somewhere.
- 1:26:52Speaker 4: Well, awesome guys.
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: So after speaking with those guys, it was it was
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: really really starting to get real. I mean, these are
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: people who have had experiences with women going missing off
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: of the streets. Phoenix itself has hundreds of homeless deaths
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: every single year. I remember seeing a news report I
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: played a little bit of it at the beginning. I
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: believe last year, halfway through the year, they had three
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: hundred homeless deaths already, which is hard to believe. And
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: those are just I believe the deaths I don't even know. Unfortunately,
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: if somebody who has no family, who's out alone on
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: the streets, if they have no connections to anybody. If
- 1:27:34Speaker 3: they went missing, who would even be there to report it?
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: You know, as sad as that sounds, so you really
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: don't even know. Midnight productions could be snatching these people
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: off of the streets, and if they pick these targets
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: that are completely alone, they're extremely vulnerable.
- 1:27:52Speaker 4: They're drugged up.
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: It's unfortunate, but it would almost be like they vanished.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: But we wanted to get some cold, hard information, so
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: that afternoon we met with the Arizona Anti Trafficking Network,
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: which is a group dedicated to exposing sex traffickers, educating
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: the public on what sex trafficking is, and protecting our youth.
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: And here's our interview with them. First, I would just
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: like you guys to introduce yourselves and kind of the
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: organization that you're with.
- 1:28:24Speaker 11: My name is Stacey Sutherland and I work for the
- 1:28:26Speaker 11: Arizona Anti Trafficking Network and we covered the state of
- 1:28:30Speaker 11: Arizona fighting human trafficking through prevention, education, awareness outreach, and
- 1:28:36Speaker 11: the may of a scholarship fund for survivors of human trafficking.
- 1:28:41Speaker 9: My name is Nate Bolter, also with AATN, and I'm
- 1:28:44Speaker 9: currently running the city program where we go out in
- 1:28:47Speaker 9: trains cities and get that designated is anti trafficking cities awesome.
- 1:28:52Speaker 38: Our actually, our vision is to creating Arizona works. No
- 1:28:55Speaker 38: one is bought, sold or exploited.
- 1:28:57Speaker 11: And I think we can agree, like the number one
- 1:28:59Speaker 11: thing we can do is bring awareness and education to
- 1:29:03Speaker 11: people because there are so many misnomers of what human
- 1:29:06Speaker 11: trafficking really is.
- 1:29:08Speaker 38: But then when you talk about that, there's other things
- 1:29:11Speaker 38: that we do as part of that, like prevention of births.
- 1:29:13Speaker 11: Of youth, like very vulnerable youth, outreach with those who
- 1:29:19Speaker 11: might be in a trafficking situation.
- 1:29:21Speaker 38: Everybody has a role to play and that's kind.
- 1:29:23Speaker 11: Of our goal is getting everyone in Arizona involved, no
- 1:29:26Speaker 11: matter what they do or who they are.
- 1:29:28Speaker 21: It's good when you look at it.
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: I mean really, when you think about it, it is
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: every single part of society is kind of touched by this.
- 1:29:36Speaker 9: Yeah, And every single time we go out and do
- 1:29:38Speaker 9: a training, somebody comes up to you afterwards and says,
- 1:29:40Speaker 9: I have a private question or out a family.
- 1:29:42Speaker 21: Member doing this, And truly, like, especially.
- 1:29:46Speaker 9: Right now, you guys have a lot of social media
- 1:29:49Speaker 9: presence and everything like that. Those platforms for kids and
- 1:29:53Speaker 9: prevators are like synonymous, and so we really need to
- 1:29:57Speaker 9: do a lot of age appropriate prevention an education for
- 1:30:02Speaker 9: those groups because that's what leads those kids into that stuff,
- 1:30:05Speaker 9: and that's where our predators are all online.
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: For people who might be watching this video and are
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: kind of just they don't really understand what trafficking is
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: and what it looks like, can you guys just explain
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: the concept.
- 1:30:19Speaker 11: The way they look at it is, children under the
- 1:30:22Speaker 11: age of eighteen cannot consent to commercial That's a federal law,
- 1:30:25Speaker 11: and then most state laws and then make that federal law.
- 1:30:28Speaker 38: So when we say commercials.
- 1:30:30Speaker 11: And exchanging something for value, literally we can assign value
- 1:30:33Speaker 11: to any item in this world. So if they're trading
- 1:30:36Speaker 11: for drugs, a place to say, a McDonald's cheeseburger, a
- 1:30:39Speaker 11: Louis Vuitton back, whatever they're trading that attacked for, we
- 1:30:43Speaker 11: consider them to be victims of trafficking. They don't have
- 1:30:46Speaker 11: to have a trafficker to be a victim of trafficking.
- 1:30:48Speaker 38: So even if that juvenile is, you know, doing.
- 1:30:51Speaker 11: It on their own without that third party, there's still
- 1:30:53Speaker 11: a trafficking victim. So that makes it really really easy.
- 1:30:56Speaker 11: So a buyer can be charged as a trafficker.
- 1:30:59Speaker 9: A lot of our victim who are adults now got
- 1:31:02Speaker 9: started as youth and so and then I mean, we
- 1:31:05Speaker 9: just had a case pop up recently.
- 1:31:07Speaker 21: Where the vecul was fifty years old.
- 1:31:08Speaker 9: So it's not just your kids and every it's literally
- 1:31:12Speaker 9: people get roped into this because they get taken advantage of.
- 1:31:16Speaker 21: They don't understand what it is. And with this commercial stuff, when.
- 1:31:19Speaker 9: We ask people like, hey, what's the commercial sact, everybody
- 1:31:22Speaker 9: automatically jumps to, well.
- 1:31:23Speaker 25: It's pres but there are six.
- 1:31:26Speaker 9: Sacks that happen in person. Online people are being forced
- 1:31:30Speaker 9: into making some videos and same content that they're not
- 1:31:34Speaker 9: getting paid for.
- 1:31:35Speaker 21: And again, you don't know that if.
- 1:31:37Speaker 9: You are a prevader, you're a buyer purchasing these things,
- 1:31:41Speaker 9: and that person is going through this trafficking ordeal.
- 1:31:44Speaker 21: The educational component for this is so important because.
- 1:31:46Speaker 9: It looks so different and it's not the kids that
- 1:31:49Speaker 9: are bound and tied up to a bed in a room,
- 1:31:52Speaker 9: and it's not the kids with duct tape over their face.
- 1:31:54Speaker 21: It looks wildly different in real life.
- 1:31:57Speaker 9: And again you're in the customer show service industry, and
- 1:32:00Speaker 9: so you may be talking to a young adult who's
- 1:32:04Speaker 9: telling you Oh my gosh, you have the best beard ever.
- 1:32:06Speaker 21: I love your mustache.
- 1:32:08Speaker 9: But again they're telling you that because they have to,
- 1:32:09Speaker 9: because they have to come up with funds for a
- 1:32:12Speaker 9: quota that they.
- 1:32:13Speaker 21: Have every single day.
- 1:32:14Speaker 9: So, like I said, it's it's And guys are just like, oh, yeah, no,
- 1:32:18Speaker 9: she likes me like I'm helping her, I'm paying her
- 1:32:20Speaker 9: way through college or you know, I'm helping her out.
- 1:32:23Speaker 39: When in reality, she's a victim having to do this
- 1:32:26Speaker 39: day in and.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: Day out, trafficking like rinks.
- 1:32:31Speaker 21: Is that a real thing? Is that it meant?
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: Are there actual like groups of people that it's a
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: business to them?
- 1:32:38Speaker 9: So let's go back to the stair and just present it.
- 1:32:41Speaker 9: If Stacey is making three hundred thousand off of me
- 1:32:43Speaker 9: and she brings you in, how much does she not
- 1:32:46Speaker 9: make and he brings him in? And so the thing
- 1:32:49Speaker 9: is that in Arizona we have we actually have a
- 1:32:51Speaker 9: very affluent economy.
- 1:32:52Speaker 21: We have a lot of really nice areas and everything.
- 1:32:55Speaker 9: So that quota may not be a thousand dollars, it
- 1:32:57Speaker 9: might be two thousand dollars.
- 1:33:00Speaker 39: So every single time that Stacy brings in a new product.
- 1:33:02Speaker 9: Because that's what we are possessional product for she gave
- 1:33:06Speaker 9: we really gonna two thousand dollars a day because we're
- 1:33:08Speaker 9: rolling in Scottsdale or North Phoenix or somewhere else. That
- 1:33:12Speaker 9: three hundred thousand dollars a year just went to like
- 1:33:14Speaker 9: one point eight to two million dollars.
- 1:33:16Speaker 21: She's making off of us, so it behooves traffickers.
- 1:33:19Speaker 9: And that is their game plan is to constantly be
- 1:33:22Speaker 9: in a recruiting phase, constantly blame the working phase because
- 1:33:26Speaker 9: her products are going to fall off at some point
- 1:33:28Speaker 9: and she's got to have somebody else come in.
- 1:33:31Speaker 11: And then I create this dynamic, right, like we're a family,
- 1:33:34Speaker 11: we're a unit and work together.
- 1:33:36Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:33:37Speaker 11: But everyone's giving me the money, and I'm just like, oh, okay,
- 1:33:39Speaker 11: here's the money for McDonald's cheeseburger today. Oh there was
- 1:33:43Speaker 11: an outreach today. They gave you free condoms, they gave
- 1:33:45Speaker 11: you clothes.
- 1:33:45Speaker 10: Cool.
- 1:33:46Speaker 11: I don't have to buy condoms or anything this week
- 1:33:47Speaker 11: because you were able to get that for free.
- 1:33:49Speaker 39: Like it's you know.
- 1:33:51Speaker 11: And then it depends on what type of venue of trafficking.
- 1:33:53Speaker 11: Like there's multiple venues. So if we talk about massage parlors, right,
- 1:33:57Speaker 11: there's organized crime, elements in that.
- 1:33:59Speaker 38: So there's rings in.
- 1:34:01Speaker 11: The sense of, yeah, there's fires, there's people, there's multiple victims.
- 1:34:05Speaker 11: Sometimes traffickers link up and work together, you know, sometimes
- 1:34:08Speaker 11: there's getting involvement.
- 1:34:09Speaker 38: So yes, there's rings. You know, we have parents that
- 1:34:12Speaker 38: traffic their kids.
- 1:34:13Speaker 11: So we talked about kind of that misnomer of like,
- 1:34:16Speaker 11: you know, it's this big hokey guy. One of the
- 1:34:18Speaker 11: things we do in trainings is I've seen traffickers look
- 1:34:21Speaker 11: like me.
- 1:34:22Speaker 38: But if I'm in the grocery store, You're gonna be like, oh,
- 1:34:24Speaker 38: she's a mom with their three kids.
- 1:34:25Speaker 11: She's just like, you know, running around her boys, run around,
- 1:34:28Speaker 11: being a little crazy in the grocery store. Right, You're
- 1:34:29Speaker 11: not gonna think, oh, that could be a predator, that
- 1:34:32Speaker 11: could be a bad person, right, because our brains automatically think, well,
- 1:34:36Speaker 11: this is what.
- 1:34:37Speaker 12: A trafficer is going to look like.
- 1:34:38Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, And so I think that dynamic is hard
- 1:34:42Speaker 11: to understand. And you know, if you're in a small
- 1:34:43Speaker 11: town and you're being trafficked, who are your buyers? Who
- 1:34:46Speaker 11: are the people that are perpetrating Does everybody knows your business?
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:34:50Speaker 11: And it could be affluent people, right, it could be
- 1:34:53Speaker 11: the mayor, it could be whoever. Buyers come from all
- 1:34:56Speaker 11: walks of life, So.
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: That also brings up a question we talked about what
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: people look like. Are there any other myths about sex
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: trafficking that you guys would like to kind of.
- 1:35:07Speaker 9: There's so many mess about sex trafficking, and again, I
- 1:35:11Speaker 9: think the biggest one is the perception of what it
- 1:35:14Speaker 9: looks like. It doesn't look like pretty woman, but it
- 1:35:17Speaker 9: doesn't look like kids being bound and gag. That's going
- 1:35:21Speaker 9: to be again the rare exception, and a lot of
- 1:35:23Speaker 9: metaphorical kids would tape on their mouth. They can't open
- 1:35:26Speaker 9: up and ask for resources if their hands are bound,
- 1:35:28Speaker 9: because they can't reach out and ask for help.
- 1:35:30Speaker 21: Because again it's a different dynamic.
- 1:35:32Speaker 9: A lot of times are victims voluntarily because they've been
- 1:35:35Speaker 9: tricked into this, will leave with their traffickers. There's not
- 1:35:39Speaker 9: a force component in it. They are choosing, like you
- 1:35:41Speaker 9: know what, I'm in love with you, I want to
- 1:35:43Speaker 9: go with you, and so that's what you see. Again,
- 1:35:47Speaker 9: the panel van thing is is always the first one.
- 1:35:50Speaker 9: But again, cops are really good at catching bad guys
- 1:35:54Speaker 9: and victims who would run from their trafficker, especially for
- 1:35:57Speaker 9: kidnapping the cops are gonna call everybody. They're gonna call
- 1:36:00Speaker 9: their friends, they're gonna call the three letter of federal agencies.
- 1:36:03Speaker 39: They're gonna throw on every newscast in America.
- 1:36:05Speaker 9: Everybody's gonna know what that look like, and that Vide's
- 1:36:08Speaker 9: gonna go to jail, which.
- 1:36:09Speaker 21: Is not a good business plan for him.
- 1:36:11Speaker 39: So, like I said, it is much more subtle and
- 1:36:14Speaker 39: much more dangerous.
- 1:36:15Speaker 9: Because it literally comes through your kids' phones, it comes
- 1:36:19Speaker 9: through the computers, It comes.
- 1:36:20Speaker 39: Through places that parents are not familiar with.
- 1:36:24Speaker 9: And you know, we talked about our age difference of
- 1:36:26Speaker 9: stuff my generation, Like, I'm kind of at the cusp
- 1:36:29Speaker 9: where like in high school I learned how to use
- 1:36:31Speaker 9: word and Excel because these are new programs, you know,
- 1:36:34Speaker 9: whereas kids nowadays, I mean, my little boy at school
- 1:36:37Speaker 9: has a Texas speech speaker, you know, feature on as
- 1:36:40Speaker 9: a computer.
- 1:36:41Speaker 21: That he uses at school all the time.
- 1:36:42Speaker 9: And so you have mad amounts of technology that our
- 1:36:45Speaker 9: kids are growing up with.
- 1:36:46Speaker 23: It I never dealt with.
- 1:36:48Speaker 39: But again, predators are sitting back and they're literally sending
- 1:36:51Speaker 39: out messages men fifteen and out.
- 1:36:54Speaker 9: On every social media platform just telling oh my god,
- 1:36:56Speaker 9: your blue eyes are amazing.
- 1:36:57Speaker 21: That's great.
- 1:36:58Speaker 39: Again, I'm gonna keep picking on your mustache.
- 1:37:00Speaker 21: That mustache is amazing.
- 1:37:01Speaker 40: Yeah, And so as they come back, all it takes
- 1:37:04Speaker 40: this one little kid and say, oh my god, thank
- 1:37:06Speaker 40: you think I'm pretty, or oh thanks, I appreciate that
- 1:37:08Speaker 40: you think I'm cool, and then they'll take them down
- 1:37:11Speaker 40: that rabbit hole.
- 1:37:13Speaker 9: So they're constantly recruiting and constantly building their team or
- 1:37:17Speaker 9: their empire, their family.
- 1:37:18Speaker 21: You know, it's just what they do.
- 1:37:21Speaker 11: And so that's how they kind of like psychologically manipulate
- 1:37:25Speaker 11: these kiddos.
- 1:37:26Speaker 41: And then it's like when you start getting that love
- 1:37:28Speaker 41: and affection and that lots of complimentary and that attention
- 1:37:31Speaker 41: in there, you know, it really changes the dynamic. And
- 1:37:34Speaker 41: so I don't ever want to sound like we're victim blaming,
- 1:37:37Speaker 41: but it's really easy to hook somebody in that way
- 1:37:41Speaker 41: because all of us, we all want to be loved,
- 1:37:43Speaker 41: we all want to feel loved.
- 1:37:44Speaker 38: And we want to feel those nice things in the
- 1:37:46Speaker 38: world and like.
- 1:37:47Speaker 41: Be complimented and things, and so it's a really easy
- 1:37:50Speaker 41: manipulative tool to get in with somebody is to just
- 1:37:53Speaker 41: kind of start that way.
- 1:37:55Speaker 11: And so, you know, victims don't don't see that they're like, oh,
- 1:37:57Speaker 11: this is my friend, and then I've got to know
- 1:37:58Speaker 11: him and now he's my boyfriend and.
- 1:38:00Speaker 38: He loves me and you know, and so it's really
- 1:38:02Speaker 38: an indoctrination.
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: It's not like the sar trafficker is going to be like, hey,
- 1:38:06Speaker 3: nice to meet you. I'm a saras trafficker. You want
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: to come work with me? Right, It's different.
- 1:38:11Speaker 39: You get parents that don't know and they give their
- 1:38:14Speaker 39: kid a phone.
- 1:38:15Speaker 9: Then like you're saying, like you would never take your
- 1:38:18Speaker 9: kid and leave them in the middle of Phoenix at
- 1:38:20Speaker 9: night from like midnight till six am. You're yeah, I'll
- 1:38:22Speaker 9: see you at six you know, But you can give
- 1:38:24Speaker 9: them that phone and leave it in their room overnight,
- 1:38:27Speaker 9: and their parents don't know because like all my kids
- 1:38:29Speaker 9: a gym, they would never ever be doing this.
- 1:38:31Speaker 21: But it's not that your kid's bad.
- 1:38:33Speaker 9: There's some many bad intentions that's communicating and talking to
- 1:38:36Speaker 9: your kid all night long and so and again it's
- 1:38:39Speaker 9: like Stacy said, it's not ever victim blaming.
- 1:38:41Speaker 21: It is this is the reality.
- 1:38:43Speaker 39: People who are designed.
- 1:38:45Speaker 9: And who are putting effort into learning how to manipulate
- 1:38:49Speaker 9: people do it online, and they do.
- 1:38:52Speaker 21: It very successfully. Because we all want to be loved.
- 1:38:54Speaker 21: I want to be popular and everything else.
- 1:38:57Speaker 9: But that's the easiest way for me to lure you
- 1:38:59Speaker 9: in is by promoting that.
- 1:39:02Speaker 21: So that brings me to my next question.
- 1:39:05Speaker 42: Is there a.
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: Link between pedifida and trafficking? Is that something you guys see,
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: not like a link in all cases, but is that
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: something that you see like people specifically looking for children
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: to sleep with or something.
- 1:39:21Speaker 39: You know, we're talking about minors being engaged online.
- 1:39:24Speaker 21: What's that kind of look like.
- 1:39:26Speaker 11: Based on some of the studies and the tracking of numbers,
- 1:39:29Speaker 11: especially here in Arizona, we saw an uptick in like
- 1:39:33Speaker 11: you know, familial trafficking during COVID and we saw you
- 1:39:36Speaker 11: know a lot of people looking.
- 1:39:38Speaker 38: To purchase with children during that time.
- 1:39:42Speaker 11: But it's like it's kind of basic supply and demand,
- 1:39:45Speaker 11: Like if the demand is out there, somebody is going
- 1:39:49Speaker 11: to let that supply and again, all walks of life,
- 1:39:54Speaker 11: so you know, sometimes they're coaches, sometimes their teachers, sometimes
- 1:39:57Speaker 11: they're doctors, right, their attorneys, like by can be anybody, Gosh,
- 1:40:02Speaker 11: when was that same?
- 1:40:03Speaker 41: Was it like about a year and a half ago,
- 1:40:04Speaker 41: it was a pediatrician looking to buy the young boy right,
- 1:40:09Speaker 41: and he was a pediatrician at one of the hospitals
- 1:40:11Speaker 41: and it.
- 1:40:11Speaker 38: Made the news.
- 1:40:12Speaker 41: But again it's like there are people that are out
- 1:40:16Speaker 41: there looking for it, and you know, the Internet has
- 1:40:19Speaker 41: made it more accessible than ever.
- 1:40:22Speaker 9: Right, Okay, absolutely, And again I you have.
- 1:40:29Speaker 21: Those who target children on the dark web.
- 1:40:33Speaker 9: Those who are trying to create contact with them, and
- 1:40:35Speaker 9: then you have an entire different market which is I
- 1:40:37Speaker 9: just want to buy sacks with them, Because it is
- 1:40:40Speaker 9: two different things where you're looking at that, And like
- 1:40:44Speaker 9: Stacy said, the accessibility and what we've done in our
- 1:40:49Speaker 9: culture has just flourished this stability. We have taken the
- 1:40:55Speaker 9: hyperization of our youth and like crank the flame up
- 1:40:59Speaker 9: and been like, look at all these beautiful kids, and
- 1:41:01Speaker 9: we dress them as adults.
- 1:41:03Speaker 21: We dress them very provocatively.
- 1:41:05Speaker 39: We have TV shows that cater to that.
- 1:41:08Speaker 9: In fact, like Netflix got a lot of negative publicity
- 1:41:12Speaker 9: a year and a half two years ago because of
- 1:41:14Speaker 9: pushing kids. And yet that is you bring kids into around,
- 1:41:20Speaker 9: you're going to have people say that's where I want
- 1:41:22Speaker 9: and whether or not they had that predisposition for they're
- 1:41:26Speaker 9: going to develop a desire for it.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: We've covered kind of the basics of trafficking and everything
- 1:41:33Speaker 3: like that.
- 1:41:33Speaker 12: I want to.
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: Focus now on Arizona and what sex trafficking is like
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: in Arizona, because I mean, from just what I've read, it's.
- 1:41:43Speaker 21: One of the states that has one of.
- 1:41:45Speaker 29: The worst worst problems with sex trafficking.
- 1:41:49Speaker 21: What's what's the reasoning behind them? Like, what's going on?
- 1:41:53Speaker 9: Well, we have and again depending upon on the study,
- 1:41:57Speaker 9: Arizona ranks either fourteenth to eighteenth on as far.
- 1:42:02Speaker 21: As sea trafficking.
- 1:42:04Speaker 9: It's that guys who come to Arizona, I mean predominant
- 1:42:07Speaker 9: dude in like ninety eight.
- 1:42:08Speaker 21: Percent of them.
- 1:42:10Speaker 9: When when guys come to Arizona, they're willing to do
- 1:42:14Speaker 9: things in somebody else's backyard they wouldn't be willing to
- 1:42:17Speaker 9: do if they were.
- 1:42:18Speaker 39: Home with their spouse or something else like that.
- 1:42:20Speaker 9: And one of the biggest studies that was ever done
- 1:42:23Speaker 9: by Demand Abolition shows that just over five percent of
- 1:42:27Speaker 9: all guys who are spires are willing to buy sex
- 1:42:31Speaker 9: if the conditions are right. So one in twenty guys
- 1:42:36Speaker 9: is somebody who's like, hey, if everything presents itself right,
- 1:42:39Speaker 9: I'm willing to buy sex.
- 1:42:40Speaker 21: And so, like one of the numbers that we used.
- 1:42:43Speaker 9: Everybody kept throwing out, like before the super Bowl came,
- 1:42:45Speaker 9: like super Bowl's gonna bring one point five million people
- 1:42:48Speaker 9: to the value, It's gonna be huge, it's gonna be awesome. Well,
- 1:42:51Speaker 9: you could conservatively say that probably half of the people
- 1:42:54Speaker 9: that went to the super.
- 1:42:54Speaker 21: Bowl events were probably guys.
- 1:42:56Speaker 9: So seven hundred and fifty thousand, Well, if you're really
- 1:42:58Speaker 9: going to five percent of those, dude, that's thirty seven thousand,
- 1:43:02Speaker 9: five hundred guys were here.
- 1:43:05Speaker 21: Who were willing to buy if the conditions were right.
- 1:43:08Speaker 9: And so during that time, our law enforcement partners and
- 1:43:11Speaker 9: nonprofit guys that all worked together, there were three hundred
- 1:43:15Speaker 9: and sixty two arrest made during that time. And I
- 1:43:18Speaker 9: was asked people like, hey, thirty seven thousand, five hundred
- 1:43:21Speaker 9: versus three hundred and sixty two was at a successful
- 1:43:24Speaker 9: time And people like look at that.
- 1:43:25Speaker 21: Every well know, it's like, yes, it was. It was awesome.
- 1:43:28Speaker 21: There's a lot of work.
- 1:43:29Speaker 9: But the thing is is those guys were willing to
- 1:43:33Speaker 9: buy if it looked right.
- 1:43:34Speaker 21: Didn't say that they were gonna buy. But what's even.
- 1:43:36Speaker 9: More radicals After the super Bowl and at stuff got done,
- 1:43:40Speaker 9: the city of Scottsdale came out and they had a
- 1:43:42Speaker 9: big news article. They hosted over one point five million
- 1:43:46Speaker 9: people alone, not including what was brought to Glendale and
- 1:43:50Speaker 9: Phoenix and everything else, so that number could have been
- 1:43:53Speaker 9: doubled or even tripled because they had, I mean just
- 1:43:57Speaker 9: crazy turnouts in Scottsdale for those events. So, like I said,
- 1:44:00Speaker 9: it it really takes.
- 1:44:02Speaker 39: And it's not that the super Bowl's bad. It's not
- 1:44:04Speaker 39: the waste managements. It's just where dudes go and dudes drink,
- 1:44:08Speaker 39: and dudes aren't with they're going to do dumb do things.
- 1:44:12Speaker 9: And again, we got to stop that normalization of dudes
- 1:44:16Speaker 9: being dudes, you know, and educate them like, hey, the
- 1:44:18Speaker 9: girls that are.
- 1:44:19Speaker 21: Being shipped in here because of these events.
- 1:44:21Speaker 9: Or the girls that are coming here, or our people
- 1:44:24Speaker 9: who are here being trafficked.
- 1:44:25Speaker 39: Locally, they're being victimized.
- 1:44:28Speaker 21: It's not that they want to do this, you know.
- 1:44:30Speaker 9: And so like I said, that that message needs to
- 1:44:32Speaker 9: be out there, so guys stop thinking, hey, this is
- 1:44:34Speaker 9: okay if you go to Vegas.
- 1:44:36Speaker 21: It's still not okay.
- 1:44:37Speaker 39: It's not legal to do in Vegas.
- 1:44:40Speaker 9: So you know, so like I said, it's that normalization
- 1:44:43Speaker 9: of police really has got to say.
- 1:44:44Speaker 38: Sure, just like, hey, dude, don't do that to your wife.
- 1:44:48Speaker 21: That's awful, Like.
- 1:44:52Speaker 38: Like wait, let's be let's be a good husband and.
- 1:44:54Speaker 11: Let's not do that.
- 1:44:55Speaker 3: Yeah, because you said on the phone the other day,
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: what was the percentage roughly of men that have engaged
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: in them?
- 1:45:02Speaker 11: So we know, like kind of what Nate said, one
- 1:45:04Speaker 11: in twenty as we know in Arizona, so it's about
- 1:45:06Speaker 11: five to ten percent given what our population is. But
- 1:45:09Speaker 11: I mean it's true, like what happens when we get
- 1:45:11Speaker 11: like you know, if you go out with twenty buddies
- 1:45:14Speaker 11: to a bar, is there gonna be a little bit
- 1:45:15Speaker 11: of chaos? Is there gonna be a little a little
- 1:45:18Speaker 11: less decision making going on?
- 1:45:20Speaker 42: Are you gonna be a.
- 1:45:21Speaker 38: Little more impulsive or are you gonna maybe do like
- 1:45:24Speaker 38: a bachelor party? Right, You're gonna do maybe some things
- 1:45:25Speaker 38: that you wouldn't.
- 1:45:26Speaker 11: Normally do, right, Like So, but there are people that
- 1:45:30Speaker 11: you know, we know there's people that travel for work.
- 1:45:32Speaker 11: They travel sixty percent of the time, and like our
- 1:45:35Speaker 11: hotelers have told us, like people will come up and
- 1:45:37Speaker 11: be like, so we're gonna buy sex here in Phoenix,
- 1:45:39Speaker 11: Like you know, like they when they travel, that's what
- 1:45:42Speaker 11: they do they buy an escort or they buy one to.
- 1:45:44Speaker 28: Have SWI Right?
- 1:45:45Speaker 11: And and when you talk to these expires, they have
- 1:45:48Speaker 11: this rationale. They're like, Oh, it's all good. It's just
- 1:45:51Speaker 11: you and I having fun. It's like I don't have
- 1:45:52Speaker 11: to worry about your feelings. I don't have to like
- 1:45:54Speaker 11: I get my ears whatever. But it's again bringing up
- 1:45:58Speaker 11: that transactional type thing.
- 1:46:00Speaker 38: But again, how do you know? How do you know
- 1:46:03Speaker 38: that person's an adult?
- 1:46:05Speaker 28: Right?
- 1:46:05Speaker 38: We have miners that look like adults. Right, if you're
- 1:46:07Speaker 38: not carting them or ask them a CIV you don't know.
- 1:46:10Speaker 38: How do you know that they have a trafficker or not?
- 1:46:11Speaker 5: How you know? You know?
- 1:46:13Speaker 11: Like you all these things like how you know you're
- 1:46:15Speaker 11: being a good consumer?
- 1:46:17Speaker 38: Right, you can't tell that you're a good consumer.
- 1:46:19Speaker 11: Which I've had an eighteen year old fire, I've had
- 1:46:22Speaker 11: an eighty four year old fire, everybody in between.
- 1:46:24Speaker 28: Right.
- 1:46:25Speaker 38: But we talked about.
- 1:46:26Speaker 11: Victims too, Like we have the two year old victim
- 1:46:29Speaker 11: in Mesa, We've had oh gosh, how old is that likely?
- 1:46:33Speaker 28: Sixty four?
- 1:46:35Speaker 38: A sixty four or old victim?
- 1:46:36Speaker 11: Everybody in between, right, So we're talking spans of populations
- 1:46:41Speaker 11: that go across generations. Right, So it's not just we
- 1:46:45Speaker 11: can't just fit a victim in a box. You can't
- 1:46:47Speaker 11: fit a fit a buyer in a box, you can't
- 1:46:49Speaker 11: fit a trafficker in a box. Like That's the scary
- 1:46:51Speaker 11: thing is all of us are vulnerable human beings and
- 1:46:54Speaker 11: there will be vulnerable people, whether they're a buyer, predator,
- 1:46:57Speaker 11: a trafficker, to take advantage of that vulnerable person.
- 1:47:00Speaker 21: So one of them.
- 1:47:02Speaker 9: Because it made the national news actually a little over
- 1:47:05Speaker 9: a year ago, it was December twenty sixth, and again
- 1:47:09Speaker 9: this has had an awesome conclusion that just happened. Scottstowe
- 1:47:12Speaker 9: Police Department rocked it this and I said it came
- 1:47:16Speaker 9: out national.
- 1:47:16Speaker 39: News in January of last year.
- 1:47:19Speaker 21: But the victim in this case was fifty four years old.
- 1:47:22Speaker 21: She was a housekeeper with the guy.
- 1:47:24Speaker 9: She worked with the guy for several years in California,
- 1:47:27Speaker 9: then moved to Tucson where he finally started getting here,
- 1:47:30Speaker 9: like what if we took some pictures?
- 1:47:32Speaker 21: You know what would you just did that?
- 1:47:33Speaker 9: And then it evolved obviously into the pictures to start
- 1:47:38Speaker 9: having some stuff, and they get to Scottsdale, and in
- 1:47:44Speaker 9: Scottsdale finally and then this guy is a quirky dude.
- 1:47:48Speaker 9: He and traffickers are very very unique individuals. He wanted
- 1:47:53Speaker 9: his money counted a certain way and she failed to
- 1:47:56Speaker 9: do that, and so he grabbed her, threw up against
- 1:48:00Speaker 9: the fridge, strangled her, and started beating her because she
- 1:48:02Speaker 9: miscounted the money and didn't.
- 1:48:03Speaker 21: Have it laid out properly.
- 1:48:06Speaker 9: And so finally Scott's Stille Police Department gets called, and
- 1:48:10Speaker 9: the wild thing is is dealing with Scott's. I'm talking
- 1:48:14Speaker 9: with these dudes and they are awesome. They're a great,
- 1:48:16Speaker 9: great team. They said that throughout this month and a
- 1:48:20Speaker 9: half that she was living in Scotts still with this dude.
- 1:48:23Speaker 9: If the neighbors had just talked, they would have had
- 1:48:26Speaker 9: the entire case wrapped up within the first week.
- 1:48:30Speaker 21: But nobody called the cops.
- 1:48:32Speaker 9: And so what happened was one person came in and said, yeah,
- 1:48:36Speaker 9: my parking spot is right here by this condo.
- 1:48:38Speaker 39: There's always dudes showing up parking my spot.
- 1:48:42Speaker 9: Somebody had a ring camera across from the other condo
- 1:48:46Speaker 9: and dudes, eight to ten dudes a.
- 1:48:48Speaker 21: Day are coming and going from this place.
- 1:48:50Speaker 39: But they're like no, but they were dressed nice.
- 1:48:51Speaker 21: It didn't look like drug deals. So I didn't call
- 1:48:53Speaker 21: the cops, and then.
- 1:48:55Speaker 9: Other neighbors all had different aspects of what they had seen,
- 1:48:59Speaker 9: and so Scott still PD when they finally put all
- 1:49:02Speaker 9: these pieces together, had an amazing case. But what you
- 1:49:07Speaker 9: really learn in that case is that if you see something,
- 1:49:11Speaker 9: please reach out, like be a witness.
- 1:49:14Speaker 21: And a lot of us.
- 1:49:15Speaker 9: Don't want to say anything, especially in cases because I
- 1:49:17Speaker 9: don't want to piss off my neighbor. But that could
- 1:49:20Speaker 9: have stopped that lady's victimization a month and a half prior.
- 1:49:24Speaker 9: And honestly, and again, that trafficker just got sentenced. He's
- 1:49:27Speaker 9: going to do some time in prison, which is fantastic.
- 1:49:31Speaker 9: And Scott still did a great job working that case
- 1:49:33Speaker 9: and trying to get that victim, and that victim is
- 1:49:36Speaker 9: in a safe place now and doing really well.
- 1:49:38Speaker 21: But like I said, that one.
- 1:49:40Speaker 9: Experience for me, when you talk about interesting, how if
- 1:49:43Speaker 9: somebody would have just said something, it could have stopped
- 1:49:47Speaker 9: the whole thing.
- 1:49:48Speaker 11: You know, I think about a juvenile victim that was
- 1:49:50Speaker 11: rescued in one of our smaller towns. They were saying
- 1:49:53Speaker 11: in a extended safe suite, and again the call for
- 1:49:57Speaker 11: service for patrol was a family fight, right, we have
- 1:50:00Speaker 11: gone to human trafficking training, and so some of the
- 1:50:03Speaker 11: patrol officers are like, something's not right here, and some
- 1:50:07Speaker 11: of the things are just not making sense, and the
- 1:50:09Speaker 11: little girl said a couple of things that really just
- 1:50:13Speaker 11: put off.
- 1:50:13Speaker 38: The troll's Spidey senses. And they ended up doing a.
- 1:50:16Speaker 11: Friendsic interviewer and it was mom and the boyfriend that
- 1:50:18Speaker 11: we're trafficking her, and again made the news.
- 1:50:22Speaker 38: But the mom just took a plea deal for forty
- 1:50:24Speaker 38: nine years.
- 1:50:24Speaker 11: So the best thing about a plea deal is that victim,
- 1:50:28Speaker 11: that child doesn't have to go testify against her mom
- 1:50:30Speaker 11: and her stepdad and that person will be in jail
- 1:50:33Speaker 11: for the rest of their life prison and so that
- 1:50:35Speaker 11: child can start that healing process and not have to,
- 1:50:38Speaker 11: you know, do all that. But we do a lot
- 1:50:40Speaker 11: of outreach. We've got a lot of really beautiful stories.
- 1:50:43Speaker 11: You know, we should never have the expectation that when
- 1:50:47Speaker 11: working with a victim, we're gonna.
- 1:50:49Speaker 38: We're not saviors. We're not rescuing anybody, right, We're not.
- 1:50:51Speaker 38: We're not doing that. I don't like the word rescue.
- 1:50:53Speaker 38: I don't rescue anybody.
- 1:50:54Speaker 11: I always tell people regardeners, we're planning seeds, we're watering them.
- 1:50:58Speaker 38: We should never expect a victim except to help the
- 1:51:00Speaker 38: first time, so it's gonna be multiple touches.
- 1:51:02Speaker 42: So we do that.
- 1:51:03Speaker 38: On outreach, we do outrach a lot with a.
- 1:51:06Speaker 11: Lot of our law enforcement partners and other NGOs, and
- 1:51:09Speaker 11: we've had some really beautiful stories of just talking to
- 1:51:12Speaker 11: people and we use other survivors or lived experience experts
- 1:51:15Speaker 11: to make that first contact with our victims as part
- 1:51:18Speaker 11: of our team.
- 1:51:20Speaker 38: And we've had several people who were like, yeah, you
- 1:51:21Speaker 38: know what, I'm.
- 1:51:22Speaker 11: Ready to get away from my trafficker. I'm ready to
- 1:51:24Speaker 11: get out of the life. I want to get my
- 1:51:25Speaker 11: kids back. We've had them go to school, start.
- 1:51:28Speaker 41: Earning their educational degrees, go to trade school, and so we've.
- 1:51:31Speaker 38: Had some really beautiful success stories.
- 1:51:33Speaker 11: And that's what we want to do, is we want to,
- 1:51:36Speaker 11: you know, empower survivors and let them know that they
- 1:51:40Speaker 11: are not.
- 1:51:41Speaker 38: What happened to them.
- 1:51:42Speaker 11: That can be a sentence in their story, be a paragraph,
- 1:51:45Speaker 11: it could be a chapter, but it's not their entire story.
- 1:51:47Speaker 11: And they've got so much more to life than what's
- 1:51:51Speaker 11: happened to them.
- 1:51:52Speaker 3: Maybe in Phoenix in this whole area specifically, Is there
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: any sort of a link between like organized crime and
- 1:51:59Speaker 3: strap the king and workers or.
- 1:52:01Speaker 21: Is it more just everybody's just kind of on their own.
- 1:52:06Speaker 9: So yes, so when you're talking about organized crime, it
- 1:52:10Speaker 9: may not be the mafia is running us, right, But again,
- 1:52:15Speaker 9: you have a trafficker who is setting up an enterprise that,
- 1:52:20Speaker 9: again is organized.
- 1:52:22Speaker 21: He's going to have what they call bottom.
- 1:52:25Speaker 9: That's somebody who's involved in helping recruit, helping train, help
- 1:52:29Speaker 9: keep girls and boys in line of what they need
- 1:52:32Speaker 9: to do. You're going to have possibly security individuals. Gang
- 1:52:36Speaker 9: members especially. That's gangs are all about hustling. They're about
- 1:52:40Speaker 9: making dope or drugs, money, they're about they're about everything.
- 1:52:45Speaker 9: So whatever they can do to lift their elevation, they
- 1:52:48Speaker 9: will do it. And I tell people all the time,
- 1:52:50Speaker 9: my last year is the human trafficking sergeant in Mesa.
- 1:52:54Speaker 9: Our gang guys would be out investigating home invasions and
- 1:52:58Speaker 9: stuff like that, and they'd be like, hey, you guys
- 1:53:01Speaker 9: can come down here. This dude's also trafficking his girlfriend
- 1:53:05Speaker 9: and she was a participant because she's in love with
- 1:53:09Speaker 9: her boyfriend who's a gangster who's posting ads for so
- 1:53:13Speaker 9: whatever hustle they can get going on.
- 1:53:15Speaker 21: And again, that's organized crime.
- 1:53:17Speaker 9: When and Stacey brought it up your listed massage businesses,
- 1:53:20Speaker 9: there's a reason why ninety percent of your illicted massage businesses.
- 1:53:27Speaker 21: Are Asian run, you know.
- 1:53:29Speaker 9: And again we are talking about criminal enterprises that go
- 1:53:33Speaker 9: back to South Korea to go to China, that they
- 1:53:37Speaker 9: go to their families and say, this is what you're
- 1:53:39Speaker 9: gonna do when you come to America. This is what
- 1:53:41Speaker 9: you're going to do, and this is what you're gonna
- 1:53:43Speaker 9: make money on. If you do that for us, we
- 1:53:45Speaker 9: will take care of your family. If you don't do
- 1:53:48Speaker 9: this for us, guess what's gonna happen to your family.
- 1:53:51Speaker 9: And again we're talking about legitimate organized crime individuals. So
- 1:53:57Speaker 9: those victims when they come to the US, they come
- 1:53:59Speaker 9: through poor like San Francisco, big Asian community areas, they
- 1:54:03Speaker 9: get their massage licenses, They come over here and they
- 1:54:06Speaker 9: are part of an organized crime element. They meet a
- 1:54:10Speaker 9: mama son who for all intense purposes, is their pimp. Right,
- 1:54:14Speaker 9: They take them to and front massage businesses. They handle
- 1:54:17Speaker 9: all the financial stuff. That money then leaves here and
- 1:54:20Speaker 9: goes back offshore, you know, but those victims and it's
- 1:54:25Speaker 9: so difficult to work with them because if they say anything,
- 1:54:29Speaker 9: what's going to happen to their families, you know, and
- 1:54:32Speaker 9: that's a real threat. So, I mean, there's a case
- 1:54:36Speaker 9: about a year and a half ago where a detective
- 1:54:39Speaker 9: was doing a search warrant and unfortunately he made a
- 1:54:41Speaker 9: comment that like, well, nobody ever talks in the massage businesses.
- 1:54:45Speaker 21: I don't know who they're even trafficking victims? Why are
- 1:54:47Speaker 21: we doing this? And again, they can't talk to you,
- 1:54:51Speaker 21: you know.
- 1:54:52Speaker 9: If they do, there's life and death consequences on the
- 1:54:54Speaker 9: other side of this, And so you shouldn't go ever
- 1:54:58Speaker 9: going to one of those places.
- 1:54:59Speaker 21: Thinking like, oh, we're gonna save everywhere. They're like hallelujh,
- 1:55:01Speaker 21: you're here.
- 1:55:02Speaker 9: I'm so glad, you know, because they knew this was
- 1:55:05Speaker 9: going to happen, but there wasn't a way.
- 1:55:06Speaker 39: For them to say no either, you know, when they
- 1:55:09Speaker 39: were they are approached.
- 1:55:10Speaker 9: Like it's like, well, either you're going to do this
- 1:55:12Speaker 9: or something else could happen.
- 1:55:13Speaker 21: And again that's very real for them.
- 1:55:16Speaker 9: So it's very important that you are working a very big,
- 1:55:19Speaker 9: multi facet approach where.
- 1:55:20Speaker 21: It involves street, it.
- 1:55:21Speaker 9: Involves list of massage businesses, it involves online predation like
- 1:55:26Speaker 9: and again, it's everywhere in all walk of life.
- 1:55:30Speaker 21: And it's like I said that there's nobody that's immune
- 1:55:32Speaker 21: to this.
- 1:55:33Speaker 9: And every time we've done trainings, somebody have an experience
- 1:55:36Speaker 9: that a family members going through and they're asking for
- 1:55:38Speaker 9: specific resources for.
- 1:55:39Speaker 25: The homeless individuals and sex trafficking.
- 1:55:43Speaker 39: What's those two conteps look like.
- 1:55:47Speaker 21: So very hand in hand. And again, whenever you're looking at.
- 1:55:52Speaker 9: Marginalized communities, people that don't have resources and people don't
- 1:55:56Speaker 9: have assistance, you're going to find exploitation.
- 1:56:00Speaker 21: And so with and States is gonna elaborate more unless
- 1:56:04Speaker 21: you's actually doing this stuff right now.
- 1:56:05Speaker 9: But you're going to find people that will say, do
- 1:56:09Speaker 9: you need a bed for night?
- 1:56:10Speaker 21: I got you, but you're going to give me this
- 1:56:15Speaker 21: or we're going to do this. If you need food,
- 1:56:17Speaker 21: you know, what are you willing to do for food?
- 1:56:19Speaker 21: If you haven't eaten?
- 1:56:20Speaker 9: And again there are people that are going to say,
- 1:56:22Speaker 9: well for this five dollars cheese perger, this is what
- 1:56:24Speaker 9: you're going to do for me. So again, you're always
- 1:56:27Speaker 9: going to find exploitation in communities without resources, and unfortunately
- 1:56:32Speaker 9: here in Arizona we have a very healthy population of
- 1:56:36Speaker 9: individuals who don't have homes, you don't.
- 1:56:38Speaker 21: Have jobs, you don't have that.
- 1:56:39Speaker 9: And even with you know, positive crystos and Saint Francis
- 1:56:43Speaker 9: de Paul's, so you're still going to find people taking
- 1:56:46Speaker 9: advantage of it.
- 1:56:47Speaker 43: Go ahead, So we know that we have a high
- 1:56:51Speaker 43: number of homeless youths in Arizona as well as you know,
- 1:56:55Speaker 43: like me said, a robust.
- 1:56:56Speaker 38: Population of homeless individuals or a house rules.
- 1:57:01Speaker 43: We actually just started doing some research with adult homeless
- 1:57:06Speaker 43: and so we're just basically chatting about, you know, kind
- 1:57:09Speaker 43: of their experiences growing up, so looking at their adverse
- 1:57:12Speaker 43: childhood experiences or a score. So I recommend if you've
- 1:57:14Speaker 43: never taken an ACE test to take it and see
- 1:57:16Speaker 43: what your ACE score is, because the higher amount your aces,
- 1:57:19Speaker 43: you can actually have like physical health effects and detriments
- 1:57:22Speaker 43: to those experiences. But a lot of them should be
- 1:57:25Speaker 43: no surprise they have a high A score. A lot
- 1:57:28Speaker 43: of them have been chronically homeless since their youth.
- 1:57:31Speaker 38: So we're not talking like, hey, I lost my job
- 1:57:33Speaker 38: and became homeless in my thirties. We're seeing a lot
- 1:57:36Speaker 38: of addiction to issues.
- 1:57:38Speaker 11: But one of the things that was really striking in
- 1:57:40Speaker 11: some of the few people just this isn' going to
- 1:57:42Speaker 11: delay the research hasn't come out yet, is we have
- 1:57:45Speaker 11: people that are in their mid thirties who have been
- 1:57:47Speaker 11: chronically homeless since teenage years and they were sound traffic
- 1:57:51Speaker 11: and the age of ETEM.
- 1:57:53Speaker 38: And so again, I don't want to say that there's
- 1:57:55Speaker 38: correlation there, but.
- 1:57:56Speaker 10: We can see the impact that trauma can potentially have
- 1:57:59Speaker 10: on somebody for a lifetime. And then we do homeless
- 1:58:03Speaker 10: youth surveys every year, and so again we see a
- 1:58:07Speaker 10: very high amount of people that experience some form of
- 1:58:11Speaker 10: labor or exploitation as part of their homeless experience.
- 1:58:16Speaker 38: And so and sometimes people refer.
- 1:58:19Speaker 44: To it as survivals, right like Okay, I'm living rough,
- 1:58:22Speaker 44: I'm living on the streets, like all trade for some drugs,
- 1:58:25Speaker 44: all trades for something to eat, all trades to come
- 1:58:27Speaker 44: be in your hotel room with you for the night
- 1:58:29Speaker 44: or have a hot shower in the hotel room.
- 1:58:31Speaker 43: So again, it's what as a society can we do better?
- 1:58:36Speaker 43: Like you know it kind of like May said, altruistic
- 1:58:40Speaker 43: people like you're not going to go to this homeless
- 1:58:42Speaker 43: person be like, I'm gonna buy you a hotel room
- 1:58:44Speaker 43: for the night, Like what do they want in exchange.
- 1:58:46Speaker 39: For that hotel room?
- 1:58:47Speaker 45: So, you know, it's it's something that we see again
- 1:58:50Speaker 45: that's a marginalized population. Someone's taking advantage of that vulnerability
- 1:58:55Speaker 45: about and it's it's it's really sad.
- 1:58:58Speaker 29: Yeah.
- 1:58:58Speaker 9: One of the stats, so are partners at ASU STIR,
- 1:59:01Speaker 9: which is their Trafficking Intervention Research Group, they did a
- 1:59:04Speaker 9: study in southern Arizona of homeless youth and one of
- 1:59:08Speaker 9: the stats that came out, especially in it strikes with
- 1:59:10Speaker 9: me actually use it in my training is one out
- 1:59:12Speaker 9: of three girls that is between the ages of eighteen
- 1:59:16Speaker 9: and twenty four reported being trafficked.
- 1:59:20Speaker 21: Out of the homeless youth. So again that's huge.
- 1:59:22Speaker 9: At thirty percent of them had an active trafficking ordeal.
- 1:59:26Speaker 21: That's a massive chunk of a population. Thirty percent.
- 1:59:31Speaker 3: I mean that's just it's hard to I feel like
- 1:59:34Speaker 3: wrap your head around that many people from a group.
- 1:59:38Speaker 12: You know.
- 1:59:39Speaker 21: So I've watched a lot of interviews with.
- 1:59:42Speaker 39: Like homeless people in Phoenix, but.
- 1:59:44Speaker 21: A lot of them reference something called midnight productions.
- 1:59:49Speaker 38: I'm gonna let make after this.
- 1:59:51Speaker 9: So Midnight Productions is the originally was noted as a
- 1:59:57Speaker 9: snuff film group, right, And so being a law enforcement
- 2:00:02Speaker 9: we would get high profile cases and people say, oh,
- 2:00:04Speaker 9: that was a victim of Midnight Productions, one of which
- 2:00:07Speaker 9: Mickel Biggs, one of the most cold case kidnappings in Mesa.
- 2:00:14Speaker 9: There's ties to Midnight Productions. There are law enforcement officers
- 2:00:19Speaker 9: are like, that's real.
- 2:00:20Speaker 21: They exist. There are other law enforcement people are like, no,
- 2:00:25Speaker 21: it doesn't.
- 2:00:26Speaker 9: Every single time it's come up, and like within my
- 2:00:28Speaker 9: last like two or three years with Mesa, even I
- 2:00:32Speaker 9: got a call from a dude an ASUPD and he's like,
- 2:00:36Speaker 9: hey man, you guys got to.
- 2:00:37Speaker 21: Come take care of this. It's in Tempee, but the.
- 2:00:40Speaker 9: Victims are from Mesa and it's Midnight Productions.
- 2:00:43Speaker 21: This is where they're doing. Everything we went, it's got not.
- 2:00:47Speaker 9: There was not an ounce of anything that you could
- 2:00:49Speaker 9: find about anybody having been killed, anybody you know, anything.
- 2:00:53Speaker 21: And so again there are people in both camps. Does
- 2:00:57Speaker 21: it exist?
- 2:00:58Speaker 9: Does it I personally think that they do not exist,
- 2:01:01Speaker 9: just based off what I've been through. I've never found
- 2:01:04Speaker 9: anything in the multiple investigations that I've been called on
- 2:01:07Speaker 9: that ever came back to a grew that.
- 2:01:09Speaker 21: Was midnight productions.
- 2:01:11Speaker 9: Like I said, I have personal friends who weren't other
- 2:01:14Speaker 9: cases that are like, no, one hundred percent, they're real.
- 2:01:17Speaker 21: But there's never a place, there's never a name, there's
- 2:01:19Speaker 21: never nothing.
- 2:01:20Speaker 9: And it comes back to I don't know if you've
- 2:01:21Speaker 9: seen like the usual suspects Kaiser are so say that? So, yeah,
- 2:01:26Speaker 9: nobody is Kayser So say like, and again it's you're
- 2:01:30Speaker 9: talking about it said, why has nobody ever been tied
- 2:01:34Speaker 9: to it?
- 2:01:34Speaker 21: Why has nobody ever been arrested?
- 2:01:36Speaker 9: Why has never been found that this is the camera
- 2:01:39Speaker 9: that had the imprint that caused us that? You know
- 2:01:41Speaker 9: that came back to this film. Are there people doing
- 2:01:44Speaker 9: snuff films?
- 2:01:45Speaker 12: Yes?
- 2:01:45Speaker 9: Are there people doing kidnappings and stuff to videos? Yes,
- 2:01:48Speaker 9: they're serial predators. Is it the same group? Is it
- 2:01:52Speaker 9: the same people? I don't think so personally, but yeah,
- 2:01:55Speaker 9: every time it comes up, and again I kind of
- 2:01:57Speaker 9: laugh because there.
- 2:01:58Speaker 21: Are two big camps. Even within law enforcement.
- 2:02:00Speaker 9: It's like no, it's one hundred percent for realsies, And
- 2:02:02Speaker 9: then there's other people that are like yeah, no, So.
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: That's funny because I would assume that it would be
- 2:02:07Speaker 3: like I was one hundred percent sure that you were
- 2:02:10Speaker 3: going to say that it wasn't real, but I would
- 2:02:12Speaker 3: not expect the fifty percent to actually think it would
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: be real.
- 2:02:16Speaker 9: We're going back over twenty five years now, yeah, thirty
- 2:02:20Speaker 9: years now, so I mean that even predated my time
- 2:02:23Speaker 9: with Mason really yeah, and I did twenty two and
- 2:02:26Speaker 9: a half years with Mesa and this June it will
- 2:02:28Speaker 9: have been two years that since I've retired, So I mean,
- 2:02:31Speaker 9: you're in almost twenty four years. But I said that
- 2:02:34Speaker 9: was before my time even so, like I said, it's
- 2:02:37Speaker 9: I I don't think it's there.
- 2:02:39Speaker 21: I say, it comes back.
- 2:02:40Speaker 9: To Kaijersho say, I mean just it's it's a mythical
- 2:02:42Speaker 9: person that nobody can touch and it is they're never
- 2:02:46Speaker 9: that's the guy, you know.
- 2:02:47Speaker 3: So so it's interesting that it's been talked about for
- 2:02:50Speaker 3: a long time because that's that's what we noticed. Uh
- 2:02:53Speaker 3: just looking at all those interviews, people keep bringing that up,
- 2:02:57Speaker 3: and it's.
- 2:02:57Speaker 21: Like it's almost like the boogeyman. I think it is,
- 2:03:00Speaker 21: you know, like.
- 2:03:01Speaker 3: This group that could come targeting when it's really real
- 2:03:04Speaker 3: people like traffickers that are coming after people that are
- 2:03:08Speaker 3: they don't look like the evil shadowy group.
- 2:03:10Speaker 9: It's like, well, and the think is like down in Phoenix,
- 2:03:13Speaker 9: those dudes are doing documentaries out there, it's those are
- 2:03:16Speaker 9: legit traffickers. Those are legit dudes who are I mean,
- 2:03:19Speaker 9: there are so many videos of pimps and traffickers beating
- 2:03:23Speaker 9: victims of trafficking because they didn't make quota, because they.
- 2:03:26Speaker 21: Disrespected them by looking at them.
- 2:03:28Speaker 9: I saw one recently that I mean right in front
- 2:03:31Speaker 9: of laundry shop. There's like five or six other dudes
- 2:03:37Speaker 9: and girls, you know, and this dude's just waylaying this
- 2:03:40Speaker 9: girl and everybody's just sitting there, and then they put
- 2:03:43Speaker 9: it out on social media. You know, Phoenix PD got
- 2:03:45Speaker 9: involved in that case and worked it. But I mean,
- 2:03:48Speaker 9: that's those are real people, those are real prospects, you know.
- 2:03:53Speaker 9: But and again with midnight productions, you never see here
- 2:03:57Speaker 9: anything of anybody that's actually involved.
- 2:04:00Speaker 3: Just to end this interview, for anybody who might be watching,
- 2:04:04Speaker 3: like this is too prong one, what should they like
- 2:04:09Speaker 3: look out for, even with like family members looking at
- 2:04:12Speaker 3: their children or other loved ones, what kind of things
- 2:04:16Speaker 3: can they kind of see that they might be able
- 2:04:19Speaker 3: to make a change if this trafficking is going on
- 2:04:22Speaker 3: and two.
- 2:04:24Speaker 46: What is something you can do too, like notify the
- 2:04:31Speaker 46: people that you need to if you notice something this.
- 2:04:35Speaker 38: So let's just say that if you.
- 2:04:36Speaker 11: Want to know more on indicators or how to report
- 2:04:39Speaker 11: different levels.
- 2:04:39Speaker 38: Of things like see SAM or have a national hotline.
- 2:04:42Speaker 38: We have Arizona gument Tracking Hotline.
- 2:04:43Speaker 43: You can go to aatn dot org slash indicators and
- 2:04:48Speaker 43: we'll have all the phone numbers on that page. And
- 2:04:50Speaker 43: then we will have some download like some downloads for
- 2:04:53Speaker 43: indicators so you can look for stuff. But kind of
- 2:04:55Speaker 43: as Nate said, like it takes a village to raise
- 2:04:57Speaker 43: kids right now, it takes a village to be a
- 2:04:59Speaker 43: part of a community. It takes all of us working together.
- 2:05:01Speaker 43: So if you see something, say something like, you're not
- 2:05:05Speaker 43: going to be able to tell, like if him and
- 2:05:06Speaker 43: I are in a fight at a restaurant and I'm
- 2:05:09Speaker 43: maybe crying behind glasses.
- 2:05:11Speaker 21: Right that happens, You're.
- 2:05:14Speaker 38: Not going to be able to tell it's a human
- 2:05:16Speaker 38: trafficking situation. You might be like, oh man, they're in
- 2:05:18Speaker 38: a fight.
- 2:05:19Speaker 21: Like even if they didn't.
- 2:05:23Speaker 43: You might be like, wow, they're mad at each other,
- 2:05:25Speaker 43: Like wow, what's going on?
- 2:05:27Speaker 11: Like right, or maybe he's being aggressive, or you can
- 2:05:29Speaker 11: see his body.
- 2:05:30Speaker 38: Like woodge and you're like, hey, he might hit that girl,
- 2:05:32Speaker 38: or not that.
- 2:05:32Speaker 43: He would ever do that, but you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 2:05:35Speaker 43: if you see something, say something, it might not be
- 2:05:37Speaker 43: human trafficking.
- 2:05:37Speaker 11: Right, Like those people called because they heard a domestic
- 2:05:40Speaker 11: violence incident, it turned out to be trafficking.
- 2:05:43Speaker 38: Again, you get called to a family fight.
- 2:05:45Speaker 43: You hear the cops here, Oh my gosh, there are
- 2:05:48Speaker 43: sounds of this kid is being sold for commercial right,
- 2:05:51Speaker 43: they're being trafficked.
- 2:05:52Speaker 38: So it's these elements of just learning more, hearing more.
- 2:05:55Speaker 38: We're not going to know. I had a victim who
- 2:05:56Speaker 38: was being beat up in a QT parking lot. Nobody called.
- 2:06:00Speaker 38: You weren't going to know she was a victim.
- 2:06:01Speaker 28: But if you would have called, like.
- 2:06:02Speaker 47: He said, Hey, these guys are surrounding this girl beating
- 2:06:05Speaker 47: the crap out of her on the side of the road.
- 2:06:06Speaker 47: Call nine to one one, like they can intervene instead of,
- 2:06:09Speaker 47: oh my gosh, it's been on social media for a
- 2:06:11Speaker 47: week and now we're finally getting this like fourteen year
- 2:06:14Speaker 47: olds on the street and she's.
- 2:06:15Speaker 38: Run away and you've encountered her.
- 2:06:17Speaker 11: Call somebody, right, it's being a good citizen and being
- 2:06:21Speaker 11: due diligence, because.
- 2:06:22Speaker 38: What happens if now they're out there for another month.
- 2:06:24Speaker 10: Because you didn't do me right, that's on your conscience
- 2:06:28Speaker 10: for not helping or calling.
- 2:06:33Speaker 3: So that was really interesting. At the very end of
- 2:06:37Speaker 3: that interview, I thought that was an unbelievable response. I mean,
- 2:06:41Speaker 3: he said, there's two camps in the Phoenix Police Department,
- 2:06:44Speaker 3: those who believe in midnight productions and those who don't.
- 2:06:47Speaker 3: He was talking about officers that swear their cases involve
- 2:06:51Speaker 3: midnight productions. People who think the girl that I was
- 2:06:54Speaker 3: talking about the beginning her death, her murder, is in
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: midnight productions job and I really do think once again,
- 2:07:02Speaker 3: I mean, I started out this whole journey thinking this
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: is so fanciful. There's no way that this shadowy group
- 2:07:08Speaker 3: is abducting and murdering people on camera in Phoenix. Every
- 2:07:12Speaker 3: single person that we talked to led me to believe
- 2:07:15Speaker 3: in them even more, even though they didn't necessarily believe
- 2:07:19Speaker 3: in midnight productions. With the anti Trafficking network, just the
- 2:07:23Speaker 3: fact that he said it could be up to half
- 2:07:25Speaker 3: of the police officers in the Phoenix area that they
- 2:07:27Speaker 3: believe in Midnight Productions. I mean, I feel like that
- 2:07:30Speaker 3: speaks volumes, doesn't it. That shows that truly there is
- 2:07:34Speaker 3: something going on, And if you have cops that believe
- 2:07:37Speaker 3: in this theory, I'm inclined to believe that there's probably
- 2:07:42Speaker 3: something going on. I mean, that was really interesting. That
- 2:07:45Speaker 3: next night we filmed the Paranormal Investigation and we ended
- 2:07:48Speaker 3: up in Tucson, Arizona. And let me play you a
- 2:07:50Speaker 3: clip right now of something they found in Tucson just
- 2:07:53Speaker 3: a few years ago.
- 2:07:54Speaker 14: It means trees, just something that left side of this fence.
- 2:07:57Speaker 21: That's where this thing is.
- 2:07:58Speaker 12: This says a PRIs and sale. Only kids are being
- 2:08:00Speaker 12: held down here.
- 2:08:01Speaker 14: And they brought me into the to the camp and
- 2:08:04Speaker 14: showed me under the underground bunker. It was basically a
- 2:08:08Speaker 14: giant plastic container with a whole only small enough for
- 2:08:11Speaker 14: a child to crawl in and out of. And it
- 2:08:13Speaker 14: was angled in such a way and it was buried
- 2:08:15Speaker 14: underground that a child, a small child that was in
- 2:08:18Speaker 14: there could not have gotten out on their own.
- 2:08:20Speaker 21: Slide up, there's a.
- 2:08:21Speaker 14: Child's vanity and a hospital toilet.
- 2:08:27Speaker 5: It looks like a.
- 2:08:28Speaker 14: Child's car seat, strollers and children's toys and clothing and
- 2:08:32Speaker 14: food packets and stuff like that. So clearly children had been.
- 2:08:36Speaker 37: Kept here, all right, so with these straps.
- 2:08:38Speaker 14: But one thing that was really disturbing was there were
- 2:08:41Speaker 14: arm restraints, wrist restraints on two trees angled like this
- 2:08:44Speaker 14: to where friends of mine that are investigators that do
- 2:08:47Speaker 14: a lot of stuff on the border say, Craig, that's
- 2:08:49Speaker 14: that's a tree that looks exactly like wrist restraints for tree.
- 2:08:52Speaker 14: It doesn't look like anything else this. It's clearly a
- 2:08:54Speaker 14: disturbing and wrongful thing going on. It's inhumane, it's shocking
- 2:08:59Speaker 14: and upsetting.
- 2:09:00Speaker 3: So, as you've seen, trafficking is a huge problem in Arizona,
- 2:09:04Speaker 3: and that bunker was uncovered in Tucson. Now, I couldn't
- 2:09:07Speaker 3: find anything else about that, who would belong to any
- 2:09:10Speaker 3: groups or people that were arrested afterwards, children that were found.
- 2:09:13Speaker 3: I couldn't track down any information. But something that I
- 2:09:17Speaker 3: will point out is that their Midnight Productions is said
- 2:09:21Speaker 3: to operate out of houses, out of hotels and motels,
- 2:09:25Speaker 3: inside of abandoned buildings. Is another big place where they
- 2:09:28Speaker 3: filmed the snuff films and obviously all that stuff. There's
- 2:09:33Speaker 3: a hotel in Tucson that I read mentioned on a
- 2:09:35Speaker 3: form about midnight productions called the Minsk Hotel. This place
- 2:09:39Speaker 3: is extremely dangerous. Just last year they had three people
- 2:09:43Speaker 3: murdered in one summer in the hotel gun violence, and
- 2:09:48Speaker 3: it's known across the city as like the worst motel
- 2:09:50Speaker 3: in the city. The reviews are insane. We wanted to
- 2:09:53Speaker 3: stop by and check the place out, and we were
- 2:09:56Speaker 3: actually going to perform a paranormal investigation there and do
- 2:09:59Speaker 3: some luminol testing and stuff. But when we got there,
- 2:10:02Speaker 3: there were a bunch of police officers outside, and so, yeah.
- 2:10:05Speaker 4: Here's a little clip of us visiting the Minsk.
- 2:10:10Speaker 29: Yeah, I said, we're just.
- 2:10:11Speaker 21: Getting out of here.
- 2:10:15Speaker 20: Yeah, I don't want to be the next victim.
- 2:10:18Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a little ominous.
- 2:10:20Speaker 3: So we forgot that we were gonna start doing this
- 2:10:23Speaker 3: at all these locations that we visit. But I'm gonna
- 2:10:26Speaker 3: start taking polaroid photographs of all this stuff because these
- 2:10:30Speaker 3: you can't erase, you can't wipe. So once we have
- 2:10:33Speaker 3: these photos we can link everything together.
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: But I'm gonna get one right here. Police just went
- 2:10:58Speaker 4: into the hotel with gloves on. Something obviously happened here
- 2:11:05Speaker 4: today or last night or last night.
- 2:11:08Speaker 21: What is it is the question.
- 2:11:12Speaker 20: God, that's freaky. Yeah.
- 2:11:27Speaker 3: So something that you have to mention when it comes
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: to midnight productions, which you've heard in these interviews, is
- 2:11:33Speaker 3: organ harvesting. Now that also sounds insane, Like, how is
- 2:11:38Speaker 3: that even possible? There's no way that that's happening. I
- 2:11:40Speaker 3: could easily write that off, you know, sane people wouldn't
- 2:11:44Speaker 3: argue that, Oh, that's too crazy to believe. In about
- 2:11:47Speaker 3: a decade ago in Phoenix, not even a full decade ago,
- 2:11:51Speaker 3: a business was busted. What it turned out to be
- 2:11:54Speaker 3: was what they called a human chop shop. So people
- 2:11:58Speaker 3: had been donating their bodies to sign to this organization,
- 2:12:01Speaker 3: to this building, and when they dropped their loved ones
- 2:12:05Speaker 3: bodies off at this place, they thought they were being
- 2:12:08Speaker 3: donated to science and research, but instead they were being
- 2:12:11Speaker 3: carved up with chainsaws. They body parts were being sown
- 2:12:16Speaker 3: to each other. There was a bucket of deals in there,
- 2:12:19Speaker 3: just horrific stuff. And I mean, how weird is that?
- 2:12:22Speaker 23: Right?
- 2:12:22Speaker 3: When you hear of a body part harvesting facility, And
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: something else really really interesting is that that facility actually
- 2:12:30Speaker 3: sold body parts to the United States government. It was documented,
- 2:12:35Speaker 3: so the US government was tied into this illegal, gruesome
- 2:12:41Speaker 3: body harvesting shop. So let's follow the stream of thought. So,
- 2:12:44Speaker 3: if the US government and authority figures and officials in
- 2:12:48Speaker 3: Arizona and Phoenix are involved with Midnight Productions, Midnight Productions
- 2:12:54Speaker 3: is also made up of authority figures and those people,
- 2:12:57Speaker 3: and Midnight Productions harvests organs and sells them on the
- 2:13:00Speaker 3: black market. Well, when you uncover a gruesome body chop
- 2:13:05Speaker 3: shop in Phoenix that has links to authority figures, I
- 2:13:08Speaker 3: don't know what to tell you, but here's a clip
- 2:13:10Speaker 3: of us visiting that place. So an interesting twist in
- 2:13:12Speaker 3: the Midnight Productions case happened right here in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 2:13:17Speaker 3: So in this building behind me, in the twenty tens,
- 2:13:21Speaker 3: I want to say it was twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,
- 2:13:25Speaker 3: a human chop shop was uncovered. So people were selling
- 2:13:29Speaker 3: organs on the black market out of this building.
- 2:13:32Speaker 4: People were donating.
- 2:13:33Speaker 3: Their bodies to science, and their bodies weren't going to science.
- 2:13:37Speaker 4: They were being carved up.
- 2:13:38Speaker 3: Inside of this building, they found buckets full of human
- 2:13:41Speaker 3: heads in mail, a body with a woman's head stitched
- 2:13:45Speaker 3: onto a man's corpse.
- 2:13:46Speaker 4: This was a ghoulish scene.
- 2:13:48Speaker 3: And when they eventually looked into all of this, they
- 2:13:50Speaker 3: discovered that some of these bodies and body parts were
- 2:13:53Speaker 3: being sold to the US government.
- 2:13:55Speaker 4: So I think we're.
- 2:13:56Speaker 3: About to get kicked out of here, but we just
- 2:13:58Speaker 3: wanted to show this and we'll talk about it more
- 2:14:01Speaker 3: in a second.
- 2:14:09Speaker 17: Right against a body donation and tissue bank in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 2:14:13Speaker 17: It was rated back in twenty fourteen in a human
- 2:14:16Speaker 17: body parts trafficking investigation, Rihanna Whitney spoke to a man
- 2:14:20Speaker 17: whose mom and grandmother were donated to that center. You
- 2:14:24Speaker 17: warn you some may find this story disturbing.
- 2:14:27Speaker 29: This is a horror story. It's just unbelievable.
- 2:14:31Speaker 21: This story is unbelievable.
- 2:14:33Speaker 18: For years, Troy Harp has been living a nightmare.
- 2:14:37Speaker 12: This is my mother.
- 2:14:38Speaker 21: This is when she was a baby.
- 2:14:39Speaker 18: After donating his mother and grandmother to Biological Resource Center
- 2:14:44Speaker 18: in twenty twelve and twenty thirteen, with the understanding their
- 2:14:47Speaker 18: bodies would be used for scientific purposes.
- 2:14:50Speaker 48: Cancer and leukemia and whatever else, you know, using sample cells.
- 2:14:55Speaker 21: That's what I was told.
- 2:14:56Speaker 18: But that's not what happened. In twenty fourteen, the FBI
- 2:15:00Speaker 18: raided the Phoenix facility in hazmat suits as part of
- 2:15:04Speaker 18: a multi state investigation into the illegal trafficking and sale
- 2:15:08Speaker 18: of human body parts. But for the first time, we're
- 2:15:11Speaker 18: now able to see the testimony from one of the
- 2:15:14Speaker 18: FBI agents who conducted the raid, and what he recounts
- 2:15:18Speaker 18: is shocking. He said he found a cooler filled with
- 2:15:23Speaker 18: a bucket of heads, arms, and legs, infected heads, and
- 2:15:27Speaker 18: one of the most disturbing findings, called a morbid joke
- 2:15:31Speaker 18: in the lawsuit, a small woman's head sewn onto a
- 2:15:34Speaker 18: large male torso like Frankenstein and hung up on the wall.
- 2:15:39Speaker 29: Who in the right nine It's elutely gross.
- 2:15:43Speaker 18: The lawsuit also says the bodies were cut up with
- 2:15:46Speaker 18: chainsaws and bandsaws, and pools of human blood and bodily
- 2:15:50Speaker 18: fluids were found on the floor of the freezer, with
- 2:15:53Speaker 18: no identification tags on the bodies, tools that are.
- 2:15:57Speaker 29: Not appropriate for dismembering scientific bodies.
- 2:16:00Speaker 18: Harp says his mother's ashes showed up by mail on
- 2:16:04Speaker 18: his doorsteps shortly after the raid, but he isn't even
- 2:16:07Speaker 18: sure they're her ashes. He says his mom and grandma
- 2:16:11Speaker 18: wanted to help medical research after their death, yet doesn't
- 2:16:14Speaker 18: believe they ever made it out of the BRC building.
- 2:16:19Speaker 21: You feel like you've gone any closure.
- 2:16:21Speaker 29: No, this is open, and I don't think I ever will.
- 2:16:24Speaker 17: Br C owner Stephen Gore was sentenced to one year
- 2:16:27Speaker 17: of deferred jail time in four years probation after he
- 2:16:30Speaker 17: pleaded guilty to a legal control of an enterprise.
- 2:16:33Speaker 3: So after that, once again I lost some of the
- 2:16:36Speaker 3: b roll here of us visiting this motel.
- 2:16:39Speaker 4: I lost the b role of the outside of the
- 2:16:41Speaker 4: motel to show you kind of what it looked like.
- 2:16:44Speaker 3: It was a dingy old motel, kind of tucked off
- 2:16:47Speaker 3: the side of the highway. I'd seen this place referenced
- 2:16:51Speaker 3: numerous times in the blogs and articles about midnight productions,
- 2:16:55Speaker 3: and we wanted to see for ourselves if there was
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: any truth to these rumors. Now, what we were about
- 2:17:01Speaker 3: to find in our hotel room was incredibly disturbing.
- 2:17:05Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna cut to this now.
- 2:17:07Speaker 3: So right now we're in a motel here in Scottsdale
- 2:17:10Speaker 3: that we came to that I'm not going to put
- 2:17:13Speaker 3: the name of the motel.
- 2:17:14Speaker 21: Because of their business, but I'm going to show you.
- 2:17:17Speaker 3: I found this place mentioned in a couple of different
- 2:17:20Speaker 3: forums about midnight productions that this was one of the
- 2:17:23Speaker 3: places where they're abducting people victimizing them, and just a
- 2:17:29Speaker 3: couple of years ago, this place used to be a
- 2:17:30Speaker 3: lot sketchier. I think they've had a new management come in,
- 2:17:35Speaker 3: but I already talked about it on the video. But
- 2:17:38Speaker 3: people reported random men coming into their rooms late at
- 2:17:41Speaker 3: night that were employees of the motel, finding blood, all
- 2:17:45Speaker 3: sorts of sketchy things. But we've got some devices here now.
- 2:17:49Speaker 3: We are doing our paranormal investigating techniques like we always do,
- 2:17:54Speaker 3: but we have some new interesting stuff that we're going
- 2:17:57Speaker 3: to be using here. So we have this really high
- 2:17:59Speaker 3: powered V light that we're going to do a suite
- 2:18:01Speaker 3: before we begin investigating, so we can see if there's
- 2:18:05Speaker 3: any fluids or anything hidden in this room. We also
- 2:18:09Speaker 3: have some luminol so that if we find any areas
- 2:18:13Speaker 3: that are suspicious, we can check if there's blood. Luminol
- 2:18:15Speaker 3: can pick up blood from even all the way up
- 2:18:19Speaker 3: to ten years ago.
- 2:18:21Speaker 21: And we also have a bug detector to see if.
- 2:18:23Speaker 3: There's any hidden cameras or recording devices here.
- 2:18:27Speaker 21: Why don't we do the bug detector first.
- 2:18:30Speaker 32: So this thing it picks up on radio frequencies, and
- 2:18:35Speaker 32: it also has a feature where you can see infrared
- 2:18:40Speaker 32: so on like cameras and stuff like that.
- 2:18:43Speaker 21: So we're basically seeing if there are any hidden recording
- 2:18:45Speaker 21: devices here in.
- 2:18:46Speaker 32: This This picks up on radio frequencies.
- 2:18:49Speaker 3: This room that we have could be a prime location
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: for activities like this because it's upstairs, so it's away
- 2:18:55Speaker 3: from like people's visibility, but it's also right in front
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: of the stairs airway, so if people needed to get
- 2:19:01Speaker 3: in and get out quickly, like they were trafficking people,
- 2:19:04Speaker 3: this would be an easy room because they would just
- 2:19:06Speaker 3: hit the stairs and it's hidden it and just take
- 2:19:09Speaker 3: a look. It's the middle of the day right now,
- 2:19:18Speaker 3: so let's search man.
- 2:19:33Speaker 21: Also, this drawer was like this when we got here,
- 2:19:35Speaker 21: it was open.
- 2:19:59Speaker 29: Wait or is that area one more time?
- 2:20:04Speaker 28: Omaha?
- 2:20:10Speaker 12: Wait?
- 2:20:10Speaker 21: So wait, so is it picking up a signal that
- 2:20:14Speaker 21: it's pointing at like it's right in that direction?
- 2:20:19Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 2:20:20Speaker 23: Here, okay, m.
- 2:20:26Speaker 25: Hm, I'm picking up on it.
- 2:20:43Speaker 28: Fuck.
- 2:20:49Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a space behind this mirror.
- 2:20:56Speaker 31: It's kind of freak.
- 2:20:57Speaker 21: It's a little freaky.
- 2:20:58Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 2:20:59Speaker 3: We hit this thing out and we were playing with
- 2:21:02Speaker 3: it in our hotel room and it didn't go off.
- 2:21:04Speaker 23: At all.
- 2:21:05Speaker 26: It's looks strange what I'm doing, So.
- 2:21:13Speaker 31: It looks like it's it's like a great.
- 2:21:26Speaker 29: Here.
- 2:21:32Speaker 22: We look up towards these lights in the bathroom, just
- 2:21:35Speaker 22: to kind of like sketches.
- 2:21:38Speaker 21: I wonder if it could be picking out.
- 2:21:39Speaker 22: Up look at these from the air. Imagine how freaky
- 2:21:49Speaker 22: it would be if we actually found a camera.
- 2:21:53Speaker 12: I know nothing in here.
- 2:22:03Speaker 21: It's like right here, So it's.
- 2:22:13Speaker 3: I mean, that doesn't necessarily mean there's a hidden camera here,
- 2:22:17Speaker 3: but audio recorder maybe. I mean it's this isn't like
- 2:22:22Speaker 3: an EMF meter where it's picking up electromagnetic frequency. There's
- 2:22:46Speaker 3: something in this area.
- 2:22:52Speaker 21: Like let's sho walk around here. There's nothing.
- 2:23:02Speaker 23: Mm hmm.
- 2:23:05Speaker 35: Max down in the middle of the room.
- 2:23:18Speaker 36: Ah, I'll freaked out. I don't see any work over
- 2:23:34Speaker 36: in the bathroom and work on.
- 2:23:47Speaker 22: I don't see any cameras, Thank god, come on here.
- 2:23:59Speaker 31: Mmm.
- 2:24:01Speaker 39: We're not going to leap to any conclusions here.
- 2:24:04Speaker 21: But he's weak.
- 2:24:06Speaker 49: Barbed wire large table, he's weak.
- 2:24:13Speaker 21: That's freaking what this device just said. We never get
- 2:24:17Speaker 21: anything like that.
- 2:24:18Speaker 3: Barbed wire large table, he's weak.
- 2:24:24Speaker 21: It's disturbing.
- 2:24:27Speaker 3: There is a signal in here coming from somewhere. We
- 2:24:31Speaker 3: don't know experts at using these devices.
- 2:24:34Speaker 21: But we did pick up the signal itself. So now
- 2:24:36Speaker 21: let's do the UV light sweep.
- 2:24:42Speaker 50: Oh all right, Oh dude like that?
- 2:24:54Speaker 25: Oh god, maybe this is not good idea.
- 2:25:00Speaker 21: Dude.
- 2:25:00Speaker 29: Look at all that stuff over there?
- 2:25:04Speaker 36: Yeah, grows.
- 2:25:12Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
- 2:25:13Speaker 25: What the fuck?
- 2:25:20Speaker 29: What mean looks like what?
- 2:25:26Speaker 25: Mm hmmm?
- 2:25:27Speaker 29: I mean that it might be turn the light on.
- 2:25:35Speaker 51: What Oh my god, dude, no fucking way, that's no dude,
- 2:25:45Speaker 51: you can what?
- 2:25:47Speaker 21: Oh my god, bro, what the fuck? Oh dude, I
- 2:25:53Speaker 21: got chills right now. What the dude? You can see it?
- 2:26:00Speaker 3: Ude, it's one hundred percent blood, Bro, that is one
- 2:26:02Speaker 3: hundred percent blood on the door.
- 2:26:04Speaker 21: On the door, dude, look up here.
- 2:26:09Speaker 49: Oh my god, Connor, dude, look at this.
- 2:26:13Speaker 21: Bro, there's blood all the way across the door. What
- 2:26:18Speaker 21: the happened here?
- 2:26:19Speaker 42: Dude?
- 2:26:20Speaker 15: Not?
- 2:26:21Speaker 23: Oh my god, dude, what the fuck?
- 2:26:27Speaker 19: All right?
- 2:26:28Speaker 49: No, that's so true because this the way it showed
- 2:26:30Speaker 49: up looked like.
- 2:26:31Speaker 12: Paint to me.
- 2:26:33Speaker 21: He really did think it was paint. No, bro, that's
- 2:26:37Speaker 21: one hundred percent blood.
- 2:26:38Speaker 31: Yeah, without a doubt. I'm supposed to spreading them and all.
- 2:26:45Speaker 4: Of it, Dude, I did not expect that at all.
- 2:26:53Speaker 21: Bro, I did not all over the door. Yeah, dude,
- 2:26:58Speaker 21: it's all the way up here, it goes all the
- 2:27:01Speaker 21: way there. Look, uh huh, it's a lot of it
- 2:27:06Speaker 21: on top all down here.
- 2:27:12Speaker 31: Oh there's a big spot right here.
- 2:27:15Speaker 21: And then here.
- 2:27:16Speaker 31: Dude, that's crazy.
- 2:27:21Speaker 21: What that means?
- 2:27:22Speaker 25: Seriously?
- 2:27:22Speaker 3: What what does that mean for this documentary?
- 2:27:24Speaker 4: Does that mean.
- 2:27:25Speaker 32: That it's still happening?
- 2:27:27Speaker 21: Something is happening in this room?
- 2:27:31Speaker 12: Dude?
- 2:27:31Speaker 21: That's crazy.
- 2:27:32Speaker 12: Bro.
- 2:27:32Speaker 3: This is a completely random room that we just got
- 2:27:35Speaker 3: given by the hotel staff. All right, So we have luminol,
- 2:27:42Speaker 3: which confirms of stuff's blood. So we're gonna bring that
- 2:27:45Speaker 3: back over here. But let's finish this sweep first. See
- 2:27:47Speaker 3: if there's somewhere else we should test. You want to
- 2:27:50Speaker 3: kill that light again?
- 2:27:54Speaker 26: We should look up like when you shine the UV
- 2:27:58Speaker 26: light on one.
- 2:28:00Speaker 31: Doesn't look like.
- 2:28:02Speaker 21: Large table. He's weak, can't stop false? All right, this
- 2:28:10Speaker 21: is getting a little eerie. Man, Oh look at is there.
- 2:28:15Speaker 28: More looks like it?
- 2:28:22Speaker 22: Dude?
- 2:28:23Speaker 42: No, wait, bro't fall over the walls?
- 2:28:34Speaker 31: Oh my god.
- 2:28:41Speaker 42: Oh oh dude, that's freaky.
- 2:28:54Speaker 31: Dude.
- 2:29:00Speaker 52: Should we lift the sheet up and look at the mattress?
- 2:29:04Speaker 28: Maybe let's do it.
- 2:29:08Speaker 31: Kay, it's clean, clean mattress on this night side on
- 2:29:17Speaker 31: the lampship.
- 2:29:19Speaker 51: Oh oh dude, right here too, Oh my god, that.
- 2:29:28Speaker 23: Might be something else.
- 2:29:34Speaker 48: There's a bunch of stuff standing over here, all right,
- 2:29:45Speaker 48: some white stuff.
- 2:29:46Speaker 29: I don't know if a camera picks it up. How
- 2:29:49Speaker 29: can my shoes?
- 2:29:54Speaker 21: This is the area I'm a little bit afraid to
- 2:29:56Speaker 21: scam for.
- 2:29:57Speaker 12: Gonna be.
- 2:29:59Speaker 21: Dude, what's all this ship? The spider marks of something
- 2:30:08Speaker 21: on the ceiling.
- 2:30:12Speaker 35: Yours?
- 2:30:14Speaker 21: Oh my god, Oh dude, this is creepy.
- 2:30:20Speaker 53: Honestly, this makes me scared to stay in the hotel
- 2:30:25Speaker 53: room honestly.
- 2:30:28Speaker 12: Oh anything under here?
- 2:30:32Speaker 31: To close the door, close the door? Oh oh oh man,
- 2:30:41Speaker 31: mm hmm, jeez, what happened? Not even kidding, dude.
- 2:30:54Speaker 21: All right, what's the final test?
- 2:31:10Speaker 31: Bathroom doesn't look to that? Shockingly bathroom the cleanest.
- 2:31:20Speaker 53: It would make sense. This is where you clean yourself, bro.
- 2:31:26Speaker 53: I gotta see those bloodstains again though, Oh do you
- 2:31:31Speaker 53: believe this?
- 2:31:35Speaker 22: Uh?
- 2:31:37Speaker 29: Do you turn your light on? What the is that
- 2:31:44Speaker 29: keep you shining on it?
- 2:31:49Speaker 52: That it's like completely invisible? Then when you put this
- 2:31:52Speaker 52: on it, that was nuts?
- 2:32:05Speaker 3: All right, guys, So I didn't think we'd have to
- 2:32:08Speaker 3: use it, but we came prepared for this.
- 2:32:10Speaker 21: We actually brought luminol. So if you don't know what
- 2:32:13Speaker 21: luminol is, it's.
- 2:32:14Speaker 3: What crime scene technicians use to identify bloodstains. They look
- 2:32:19Speaker 3: for bloodstains with this because it makes blood glow. So
- 2:32:23Speaker 3: we have the luminol already prepared, and I think we
- 2:32:26Speaker 3: start spraying on the door for sure, all right, So
- 2:32:31Speaker 3: we just want to show this on camera. I have
- 2:32:33Speaker 3: a diabetic blood and pricker right here because I'm diabetic.
- 2:32:36Speaker 12: So.
- 2:32:38Speaker 29: There's some blood.
- 2:32:39Speaker 3: We're gonna test this out to make sure we're looking
- 2:32:41Speaker 3: at it right, all right, So.
- 2:32:46Speaker 21: Take a look at this is my blood without any life,
- 2:32:50Speaker 21: I spray it all over the place. I don't know,
- 2:32:54Speaker 21: So let's go try this door one more time.
- 2:33:03Speaker 25: I'll think it's blood, but then what it is.
- 2:33:09Speaker 21: So it doesn't. We're trying to do this scientifically. That
- 2:33:11Speaker 21: doesn't look like it's blood. But we thought maybe it's.
- 2:33:14Speaker 3: Like, you know, another thing, like stain or saliva. But
- 2:33:18Speaker 3: when you look at it up close, it to red
- 2:33:20Speaker 3: and looks exactly like blood. Like it's clearly not either
- 2:33:28Speaker 3: of those, and it's also not like paint or something
- 2:33:31Speaker 3: like that.
- 2:33:31Speaker 21: It's like literally just dripped on the door on top.
- 2:33:34Speaker 37: Of the paint.
- 2:33:35Speaker 21: So I don't know what that is, all right, So
- 2:33:39Speaker 21: we tried over here another area where we saw some staining.
- 2:33:42Speaker 29: I'll try to lower the exposure.
- 2:33:51Speaker 32: Hit it again.
- 2:34:05Speaker 25: You see those little spots? I, yes, where did you
- 2:34:25Speaker 25: sprain it?
- 2:34:26Speaker 42: Yeah?
- 2:34:28Speaker 21: There was some stuff glowing over there too.
- 2:34:31Speaker 31: Yeah, all gone there.
- 2:34:36Speaker 29: I'm nervous about this.
- 2:34:41Speaker 31: Oh oh dude.
- 2:34:49Speaker 49: Blood there's blood on the wall right here. Oh my god, dude,
- 2:34:54Speaker 49: there's a lot of blood on the wall.
- 2:34:58Speaker 53: H broh, that's fucking crazy, Connor.
- 2:35:04Speaker 49: So this is actually picking up blood right here on
- 2:35:07Speaker 49: the wall, A big splatter of blood.
- 2:35:12Speaker 21: You can see it really well on my camera.
- 2:35:15Speaker 31: I can see it.
- 2:35:22Speaker 29: Anywhere else. You should try.
- 2:35:23Speaker 21: That's wild. But there's blood right there. How about the carpet.
- 2:35:29Speaker 29: A little bit over here?
- 2:35:35Speaker 21: Oh well, turn it off.
- 2:35:40Speaker 54: Oh very a bunch right there. Oh dude, huge blood
- 2:35:57Speaker 54: stain on the carpet.
- 2:36:00Speaker 5: Mmahm.
- 2:36:03Speaker 23: That's freaky, dude.
- 2:36:05Speaker 21: Look at that.
- 2:36:06Speaker 29: Man, my camera's picking it up.
- 2:36:09Speaker 21: It's like there's blood all over this place.
- 2:36:14Speaker 31: I don't like that.
- 2:36:15Speaker 21: How about right here.
- 2:36:26Speaker 29: A little bit, God, there's some blood there.
- 2:36:41Speaker 31: It's freaky. It's like there's blood everywhere, all over this room.
- 2:36:47Speaker 3: The next day, we had a little more time before
- 2:36:49Speaker 3: we left the state of Arizona, so we decided to
- 2:36:52Speaker 3: try to find one more guy to interview to get
- 2:36:56Speaker 3: the scoop on midnight productions in Phoenix, and this would
- 2:36:59Speaker 3: pro probably be the most shocking interview of all. So
- 2:37:05Speaker 3: we're down right now in downtown Phoenix, and this is
- 2:37:10Speaker 3: an area where obviously this whole block not really blocked,
- 2:37:17Speaker 3: but this whole neighborhood is where a lot of the
- 2:37:20Speaker 3: Midnight Productions houses.
- 2:37:22Speaker 4: Are rumored to be.
- 2:37:25Speaker 3: And you're just driving around and you can see, you
- 2:37:29Speaker 3: could see right here that we just came across this.
- 2:37:31Speaker 4: Massive abandoned building.
- 2:37:33Speaker 3: Now, if people were being abducting murdering people, it's said
- 2:37:39Speaker 3: that they do it in houses and buildings kind of
- 2:37:42Speaker 3: like this, and this, as eerie as.
- 2:37:47Speaker 21: It is, it's perfect.
- 2:38:09Speaker 4: Okay, it's a little creepy again, h.
- 2:38:18Speaker 21: I wonder what you'd find in a building.
- 2:38:20Speaker 37: Like this, want to And that's with in the downtown.
- 2:38:25Speaker 4: This definitely looks creepy. That's for goddamn sure. Oh, I
- 2:38:34Speaker 4: don't know. There's so much mystery in.
- 2:38:37Speaker 21: Spots like this, like.
- 2:38:40Speaker 4: What could have happened in a building?
- 2:38:43Speaker 37: You really just you have no idea.
- 2:39:13Speaker 53: It's interesting that this place is like destroyed, but there's
- 2:39:17Speaker 53: like no graffiti.
- 2:39:20Speaker 22: I was thinking the same thing, like you can never
- 2:39:24Speaker 22: see it's about something like are.
- 2:39:30Speaker 21: You should wear one on?
- 2:39:33Speaker 31: Sure?
- 2:39:54Speaker 28: There's heir?
- 2:40:04Speaker 23: Hello is trying to light up the town? Yeah, dude.
- 2:40:26Speaker 37: The only graffiti's like one tag, some building markings, a
- 2:40:31Speaker 37: couple of lines.
- 2:40:34Speaker 32: Oh, there's like graffiti on the windows.
- 2:40:36Speaker 36: But that's it.
- 2:40:39Speaker 35: Nothing insa something feels fucking off about it.
- 2:40:43Speaker 29: That would be careful going over.
- 2:40:51Speaker 35: It is kind of strange.
- 2:40:52Speaker 31: This would be like a fucking hotspo in these guys.
- 2:41:04Speaker 28: Yeah, yeah, what's up?
- 2:41:15Speaker 37: Man has to do?
- 2:41:18Speaker 23: Name attack?
- 2:41:20Speaker 21: Hey, I got a question, man, what's up? We're doing
- 2:41:22Speaker 21: a documentary right now. Have you ever heard of somebody
- 2:41:26Speaker 21: called Midnight Productions? We can we interview you about it?
- 2:41:30Speaker 19: Sure, but you won't. My neighbor, Yeah, man, what do
- 2:41:34Speaker 19: you reporting?
- 2:41:34Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 2:41:35Speaker 19: My name is Christopher Cashber. I'm a local around here, Phoenix, Arizona.
- 2:41:39Speaker 19: UH from nineteenth Avenue in the Bachman at the building
- 2:41:43Speaker 19: is supposedly supposed to be for the uh The Midnight productions.
- 2:41:47Speaker 21: So you just.
- 2:41:49Speaker 3: Said you've seen and heard stuff going on, but you
- 2:41:52Speaker 3: never see people going in and out of this book?
- 2:41:54Speaker 19: Correct, Yeah, I'm a I'm homeless right now, so I
- 2:41:57Speaker 19: sleep over here cause it's it's been a building staff
- 2:41:59Speaker 19: the way. You always hear a bunch of people going crazy,
- 2:42:02Speaker 19: like noises at nighttime, especially on like clear knights. Uh,
- 2:42:05Speaker 19: but you never see no one going in or coming out.
- 2:42:07Speaker 19: And I've stayed here for a few for days on
- 2:42:09Speaker 19: end before like now going nowhere, just just kicking back
- 2:42:12Speaker 19: and it's kind of creepy, you know, but really it
- 2:42:17Speaker 19: is like, h like during the week that's pretty chilled.
- 2:42:20Speaker 19: On the weekend is when it goes live.
- 2:42:22Speaker 21: Really, where do you think that is?
- 2:42:25Speaker 19: I have I have no idea, But that's a little.
- 2:42:27Speaker 3: Weird that you say that because this area we just
- 2:42:29Speaker 3: like drove by.
- 2:42:30Speaker 21: This building and normally what we do is ghosts on.
- 2:42:32Speaker 3: So it's kind of like interesting that you report seeing
- 2:42:36Speaker 3: and hearing shit, but like nobody's ever coming in and out.
- 2:42:39Speaker 21: They're like very it's and.
- 2:42:41Speaker 19: The cops never come over here. Whatever noise you hear,
- 2:42:43Speaker 19: You've never seen no cops ever stop by here or
- 2:42:45Speaker 19: nothing ever. I've been staying here for like six months,
- 2:42:48Speaker 19: well in not inside the building, but in the area.
- 2:42:50Speaker 19: And they never come over here for nothing. You for
- 2:42:52Speaker 19: gunshots everything. They just don't come over here.
- 2:42:56Speaker 12: Weird.
- 2:42:56Speaker 19: But you across the tracks and you go to one
- 2:42:58Speaker 19: of those businesses over there there there, in fifteen seconds,
- 2:43:01Speaker 19: it's time you get off the property.
- 2:43:03Speaker 21: That's wild, man.
- 2:43:04Speaker 12: It's like, it's weird.
- 2:43:05Speaker 19: You can't even change your bike up. Got them showing
- 2:43:07Speaker 19: up over there over here, and you can kid it
- 2:43:09Speaker 19: all day and you.
- 2:43:10Speaker 3: Want what's what's I guess the weirdest noise you've heard
- 2:43:14Speaker 3: in this building.
- 2:43:16Speaker 19: I've probably heard some some women's screaming, like women's women's voices,
- 2:43:19Speaker 19: stuff like that. It's like saying like stop it or
- 2:43:22Speaker 19: or like you know, get back, stuff like that.
- 2:43:23Speaker 12: You'd be like, what's up.
- 2:43:24Speaker 19: No one's in there, like there's only one you get
- 2:43:27Speaker 19: in there. There's only one way in the back, and
- 2:43:28Speaker 19: then up front. You know, no one ever walks through there.
- 2:43:31Speaker 19: And I know everybody in the neighborhood.
- 2:43:32Speaker 12: So that's weird.
- 2:43:36Speaker 4: It's a trip, man, that's really weird.
- 2:43:39Speaker 21: So I guess what do you know about midnight productions?
- 2:43:43Speaker 19: Just general just uh, just from it's some gossip, nothing
- 2:43:46Speaker 19: like hardcore. Like they have the people roll around in
- 2:43:47Speaker 19: a white van and then they pick people up, like uh,
- 2:43:50Speaker 19: they claim to be a Cristious Response teams and stuff
- 2:43:53Speaker 19: like that, but they pick up these people and then
- 2:43:55Speaker 19: they get to get the women after they get rid
- 2:43:57Speaker 19: of the men, and then they do whatever they do
- 2:43:58Speaker 19: with the women and then they kill them or.
- 2:44:01Speaker 12: Something like that.
- 2:44:01Speaker 19: I mean, that's what That's what I've heard. But I've
- 2:44:04Speaker 19: seen a few Crisis Reponds fans in the middle of
- 2:44:06Speaker 19: the night rolling around, which is kind of weird, especially
- 2:44:08Speaker 19: for CBI, which is the local drug and detox people.
- 2:44:11Speaker 19: They go around and pick people up, calling crisis response
- 2:44:14Speaker 19: or whatever. But they do have one van. It's like
- 2:44:16Speaker 19: a kind of like the FBI style van, you know
- 2:44:19Speaker 19: what I mean. And they had one of those roll around,
- 2:44:22Speaker 19: but you never seen really stop to pick anybody up.
- 2:44:24Speaker 19: And it was go to churches and stuff like that.
- 2:44:26Speaker 19: Like I said it the other night, I was over
- 2:44:28Speaker 19: the Northern and nineteenth Avenue and uh, well but I
- 2:44:30Speaker 19: done that. I think I go pulling into this church,
- 2:44:33Speaker 19: was with this chick and they just kept pulling in
- 2:44:35Speaker 19: the church like they pull off and then they come
- 2:44:37Speaker 19: back to the church and they go off, like thought,
- 2:44:38Speaker 19: it's kind of weird, but she started freaking out.
- 2:44:40Speaker 12: So we left.
- 2:44:41Speaker 4: Yeah that's really weird man.
- 2:44:43Speaker 12: Yeah, what have you ever like.
- 2:44:47Speaker 3: Heard of anybody like specifically this has been targeted by them,
- 2:44:51Speaker 3: Like have you ever met anybody?
- 2:44:53Speaker 31: Uh?
- 2:44:53Speaker 12: No, not that I know of, not off hand.
- 2:44:55Speaker 19: I mean then again, uh, most of the girls that
- 2:44:57Speaker 19: were like, they're homeless with us. I mean there's always
- 2:44:59Speaker 19: there's a some guy, but we always keeps a guy
- 2:45:01Speaker 19: with just in case some weird goes off.
- 2:45:04Speaker 12: Something like that.
- 2:45:05Speaker 26: Some people are vigilant in the neighborhood about Yeah.
- 2:45:08Speaker 19: Anybody twenty something, twenty something on down. I mean, we
- 2:45:10Speaker 19: get down, We get with it, you know what I mean. Yeah,
- 2:45:12Speaker 19: especially when comes over our females, you know what I mean,
- 2:45:14Speaker 19: if it comes down to it, you know what I mean? Yeah,
- 2:45:16Speaker 19: you never know kind of word you living in these days.
- 2:45:18Speaker 3: Even if it's not associated with midnight productions. Have you
- 2:45:20Speaker 3: ever heard of the people getting like a ducted ship
- 2:45:24Speaker 3: like that?
- 2:45:24Speaker 19: Love the railroad tracks. The further further west you go
- 2:45:27Speaker 19: down the tracks, there creepier it gets, especially at nighttime,
- 2:45:30Speaker 19: Like you'll have people that come over like like if
- 2:45:32Speaker 19: you have a like a built like a Ford or
- 2:45:34Speaker 19: something like that, come over knocking it like knock over,
- 2:45:36Speaker 19: but there'll be nobody around. I've heard stuff like that.
- 2:45:39Speaker 19: And then like chicks just disappearing and they'll come back
- 2:45:41Speaker 19: and they we're just all crazy, like they just don't
- 2:45:42Speaker 19: make no sands with crying and like eat dog foods
- 2:45:45Speaker 19: and ship stuff. Really yeah, I met a chick like
- 2:45:48Speaker 19: that one time. She was freaking out. She had a
- 2:45:50Speaker 19: bag of dog food. I was like, where'd you get
- 2:45:51Speaker 19: the dog food from? Like they told me it was food.
- 2:45:54Speaker 19: I was like, who's that. She's like down to some
- 2:45:55Speaker 19: people and I was like.
- 2:45:56Speaker 12: That's creepy.
- 2:45:57Speaker 19: I was come over here, you know. Yeah, I'm glad
- 2:46:00Speaker 19: it's still the West and you can still still pack.
- 2:46:02Speaker 3: Yeah, you can get with it, you know what I mean? Well,
- 2:46:08Speaker 3: any anything else about I guess do you think Midnight
- 2:46:12Speaker 3: Productions is real?
- 2:46:13Speaker 19: I hope to help it it's not, But if it is,
- 2:46:16Speaker 19: I mean it's from twenty seventh. Van bera In put
- 2:46:18Speaker 19: it on the nineteenth in the nineteenth of watching area.
- 2:46:21Speaker 19: You got something to come with it?
- 2:46:26Speaker 3: Well, that is really strangely you said that about this
- 2:46:30Speaker 3: building and we just randomly by here anything today, We're like.
- 2:46:34Speaker 4: About to fly back to Houston. Weird shit.
- 2:46:39Speaker 3: Man, Well I appreciate you talking with us, dude. So yeah,
- 2:46:48Speaker 3: I mean there's a The guy told us the same
- 2:46:52Speaker 3: thing about midnight productions, unmarked cars, police vehicles, abducting people,
- 2:46:57Speaker 3: hearing screaming sounds from inside of that in building. And
- 2:47:01Speaker 3: that's like confirmation because of all this stuff we've been
- 2:47:04Speaker 3: talking about here that you could look up on your computer,
- 2:47:07Speaker 3: all this footage that I've captured shows that there's validity
- 2:47:11Speaker 3: to all of that. I mean, we talked to a
- 2:47:13Speaker 3: guy who said he literally hears the sounds of people
- 2:47:15Speaker 3: being assaulted and there's never anybody there, which sounds exactly
- 2:47:19Speaker 3: like midnight productions. But conclusions, I definitely think there's something
- 2:47:24Speaker 3: going on here. And if you watch this film and
- 2:47:26Speaker 3: you don't think that there's something going on here, I
- 2:47:28Speaker 3: think you should open your mind a little bit because
- 2:47:31Speaker 3: this was shocking. Not only did we hear from legitimate
- 2:47:34Speaker 3: ex law enforcement that there's a large group of the
- 2:47:37Speaker 3: Phoenix police that believe in midnight productions, but we heard
- 2:47:40Speaker 3: from people who live in Phoenix. We heard from homeless
- 2:47:43Speaker 3: people that are on the streets of Phoenix. We heard
- 2:47:45Speaker 3: from so many different individuals who all believe that there
- 2:47:49Speaker 3: is something happening here. With the amount of deaths in
- 2:47:52Speaker 3: the homeless community in Phoenix every year and the amount
- 2:47:54Speaker 3: of people who go missing, I don't even know what
- 2:47:56Speaker 3: can be done here. I think awareness of some sort
- 2:48:00Speaker 3: needs to be raised, because if these people really are
- 2:48:03Speaker 3: out here abducting thing, murdering children and women and men
- 2:48:09Speaker 3: on camera, then that that needs to be stopped and
- 2:48:13Speaker 3: people need to talk about it. I mean, why am
- 2:48:15Speaker 3: I the first person to ever make a documentary about this?
- 2:48:18Speaker 4: I don't know. I'll leave you with that question.
- 2:48:20Speaker 3: If you've enjoyed today's investigation and documentary, please be sure
- 2:48:24Speaker 3: to leave me a like and a comment on the
- 2:48:26Speaker 3: video to support the work that we're doing here. It's
- 2:48:29Speaker 3: honestly been a little bit scary thinking about releasing this
- 2:48:32Speaker 3: documentary because of the amount of people who have said online,
- 2:48:36Speaker 3: do not mess with midnight productions. But now you guys
- 2:48:41Speaker 3: have seen this. Now you know, and hopefully now you
- 2:48:44Speaker 3: understand that there's something happening here, and only through raising
- 2:48:47Speaker 3: awareness and getting people talking about this can something start
- 2:48:51Speaker 3: to change. But yeah, thank you all for watching it's Colin.
- 2:48:55Speaker 3: I love you guys so much. I'll catch you guys
- 2:48:58Speaker 3: next week and stay spooky
