  Speaker 1: I am Terry True Crime and welcome to Midday Missing,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: where we highlight current missing person cases need more attention.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: We stream shows every Monday and Wednesday at noon Central.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Now I am pre recording this just in case I'm
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: not able to go live on Monday since I will
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be traveling to LA So just wanted to let you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: guys know that upfront. But let's get into today's cases now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: First up, guys, we have Chelsea Michelle Cobo, who was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: born November eighth, nineteen ninety three in New York. Now,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: there's not a ton of stuff online about her early life,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but we do know that Chelsea was adopted by her
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: biological aunt when she was a toddler. Now, Chelsea was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: still very close to her adopted mother, but also had
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a good relationship with her biological mom, so basically she
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: had a close relationship with both. Now, Chelsea was said
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to be friendly but was on the quiet side, unlike me. Now,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: she did welcome a baby boy in twenty fifteen and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lived at home with her adopted mom and her son,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: who she was raising as a single mother. Now, in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, life took a dark turn for Chelsea when
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: her biological mom passed away. Chelsea took the death of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: her biological mom very hard, and she sunk into a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: deep depression. Now, wanting to get her mind straight, Chelsea
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: checked into the Coney Island Psychiatric Hospital. She would spent
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: two weeks in the hospital, where she was diagnosed with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: bipolar depression and continued with outpatient treatment. First thing I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have to say is Chelsea, amazing that you realize you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: needed help and you took the steps to get help. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's family noticed a huge change in her behavior and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: personality upon her return, and not in a good way.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Chelsea had suddenly turned into an extrovert and was always
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: going on and on texting and calling people, which was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a huge difference from her homebody personality before entering the hospital,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: so it was not a good change for her. Now,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: her adopted mom discovered that Chelsea had befriended her roommate
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: from the hospital along with her roommate's boyfriend. Chelsea admitted
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to dabbling in drugs, which was a huge shock for
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the family because Chelsea was someone who had never shown
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: interest in drugs. A few weeks later, Chelsea came home
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in the early morning stumbling and bruised. God, that is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: so scary now. Chelsea could not remember what happened or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: where she had been. Her mom was very concerned and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: took her to the hospital. At the hospital, sadly, it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was confirmed that Chelsea had been drugged, robbed, and sexually assaulted. Guys,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: my heart just hurts for Chelsea. This event helped lee
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Chelsea to deciding she needed more help. Her mom dropped
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: her off at the nearby hospital, where a van picked
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: up Chelsea to take her to the rehab facility about
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: an hour away. Upon arriving at the facility, Chelsea checked
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: herself out and is said to have reached out to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: her old roommate had become her friend from that psychiatric hospital, who,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: along with her boyfriend, picked her up. After learning this,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's mom was very concerned and tried everything she could
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to find her daughter. After not being able to locate her,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the police were called and she was reported missing. During
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the investigation, it was discovered that Chelsea had been texting friends.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Sorry texting friends during the drive to the rehab facility.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Trying to score drugs. Guys, this is not in common, okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Drug addiction is an evil, evil disease. Sadly, as we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have heard before, law enforcement does not seem to take
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a missing person's case serious. So Chelsea's mom worked non
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: stop trying to find her daughter. Once please started tracking
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: her movements on the day she checked out, they discovered
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that Chelsea had been seen at a club and that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she had left around one forty five in the morning
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: with the man. Now May six, sixteen's the last day
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that Chelsea Michelle Cobo was seen. Her mom, Rose continues
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to search for answers to her daughter's disappearance. Everyone, Chelsea
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is not just a person who is struggling with addiction.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: She's also a daughter and a mother. If you have
• 6:20

• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's a hard one. Now, if you know of or

• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this next case is a little different. However, it is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a case that has a family still seeking to find
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: their left one. On August eighteenth, nineteen ninety three, twelve
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: year old Sarah Annwood vanished while riding her bicycle home
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: from Norwich Corners Church in Sashchwat, New York. I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I said that right less than half a mile from
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: her home. She disappeared without a trace. Sarah was born
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: on March fourth, nineteen eighty one. She was the youngest
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of three children. She was the daughter of Robert and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Francis Wood. Now. Her dad was the pastor of Norwich
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Corners Presbyterian Church and Sarah loved dancing, poetry, and Dolly
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Parton songs. Well, I'm a huge Dolly fan, so I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: can say Sarah had excellent taste in music even at
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a young age. Now friends and teachers remembered her as
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a bright, happy, always giggling little girl, and she was
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: someone who could light up the room Now, on that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: August morning, Sarah had gone to vacation Bible School at
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: her father's church. She was in a cheerful mood, singing
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: nine to five as she hopped on her bike and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: called out to her brother see you later. Around two
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: thirty pm, she was last seeing pushing her bike up
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Hackadam Road, less than half a mile from home. Guys,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you I love everything about Sarah
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: singing nine to five and going to vacation Bible School.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I was raised Catholic. That my aunt Hallie,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: who I would go to stay with in Galveston for
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a bit every summer or summer, always sent me to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: vacation Bobble School at her church. And I loved every
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: second of it. And I have some great memories. Now,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Sarah was last seen wearing a pink T shirt with
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: guests who on the front, turquoise shorts, brown sandals, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: her prescription glasses. Sadly, she never made it home. Within hours,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: her family knew something was terribly wrong. A search began
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: almost immediately. Her bicycle was found leaning against a tree
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in nearby Her coloring book and crayons were hidden in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the brush. Place Quickly determined that she had been abducted.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of troopers, firefighters, and volunteers scored the area. The
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: community till ribbons, printed missing flyers, and raised a reward
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that grew to more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Her case was featured on forty eight Hours and America's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Most Wanted, but despite the massive search, Sarah was never found.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Three years later, in nineteen ninety six, investigators finally got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a break. A Massachusetts janitor named Louis Stephen Lyn Junior
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: had been arrested for attempting to abduct another twelve year
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: old girl. Evidence tied him to other child abductions, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: under questioning, he confessed to killing Sarah as well as
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: murdering twelve year old James Bernardo in nineteen ninety Lent
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: claimed he abducted Sarah at knife point, took her to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the Adirondack Mountains, and killed her near Raquette Lake. Even
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: drew a map, but despite weeks of searching with troopers,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: stocks and volunteers, Sarah's body has never been recovered. Lent
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to life in prison for Bernardo's murder in
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: twenty five years to life for Sarah's to this day,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: his refuse to exactly reveal where Sarah is buried. Out
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of this tragedy, Sarah's family built something lasting. Okay, they
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: took their pain and their hurt, and they funneled it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: into something good. They founded the Sarah Ann Wood Rescue Center,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: which later became part of the National Center for Missing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and Exploited Children. Their work has helped recover thousands of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: children across the country, and every year, cyclists in Upstate
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: New York ride in Sarah's honor and the Ride for
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Missing Children, wearing her favorite colors of teal and pink.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I love that it's now been more than thirty years
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: since Sarah disappeared, and still her body has never been found,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and her family continues to hope for answers that lead
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to her remains and the chance to lay her to rest.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: In the years since her abduction, reports of child abduction
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in New York's have decreased significantly. Sarah Ann Wood's case
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: stands as both a tragedy and a call to action,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: reminding us the importance of protecting children and supporting families
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: who live with unanswered questions. If you have any information
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: about Sarah Ann Woods, please contact the New York State
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Police at three three six six six thousand. Her family
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: has found justice of the courts, but has not had
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the closure that they so dearly desire, and that is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to lay their suitet Sarah to rest properly. Guys, that's heartbreaking.
