• 1:47
  Speaker 1: every wild moment in the Karen Reid trial every weekday
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that there is court at eight thirty am Eastern. Okay,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it is bonkers. Okay, our first case today, guy. I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: mean I tell y' all this every week. These cases
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: just break my heart and that is why it is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: so important that we continue sharing them. Okay. On August
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: twenty sixth nineteen ninety five, twenty three year old Heather
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Danielle Teek vanish from Newbark Beach along the Ohio River
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in Spotsville, Kentucky. Guys, it was a hot summer Saturday
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and others set out to enjoy some sun near the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: river bank. Now, around twelve forty five pm, a man
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: across the river in Indiana was using a telescope and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he witnessed something horrifying. He saw a man approach Heather,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: grab her by the hair, and drag her into the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: nearby woods a go at gunpoint. Guys' first question is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how can you be at a river in Kentucky and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: across the rivers Indiana and somebody is watching on telescope.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: To me, that means it's far enough a way that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they can't hear you scream. So if anybody in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: chat knows, because just think about being five miles away,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: six miles away or whatever, and you're using a telescope
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and you see this happen and you can't run and help.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: That to me is horrible. Now, this eyewitness described the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: suspect as a white male, six feet tall, about two
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten to two hundred and thirty pounds and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: he had bushy brown hair, a thick beard, and he
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was wearing only jeans. Now, this guy contacted authorities immediately,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness, Now the Kentucky State Police. They responded quickly. Okay,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Heather's card was found parked on private land by the river.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Her towel, he lawn chair, and part of her bathing
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: suit were still at the scene. Now police launched an
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: extensive search with dogs, helicopters, and divers. Guys, Heather was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: gone that fast. This case quickly gained regional attention due
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to the shocking nature of the daytime abduction witnessed by
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the sky. I mean. Shortly after the disappearance, authorities linked
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a red and white Ford Bronco sparted and spotted near
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the scene to a local man named Marvin Marty Dill
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: now Dial twenty nine lived nearby, and he fit the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: composite sketch based on the eyewitness account. Now, six months
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: before the abduction, Dill had been pulled over during a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: traffic stop where police found duct tape, rope, gloves, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: guns in his vehicle. Guys, that is a kidnapping kit. Okay,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that is a kidnapping kit. Now, his red Bronco matched
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the description of the vehicle scene on a farmer surveillance
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: camera the day Heather disappeared. Now, when police claim to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: question deal after the abduction, he sent his wife out
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of the house, reportedly telling her the less you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the better. That is horrifying for her. Now, Bill died
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: by suicide with the shotgun inside his home. With him
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: went any and all answers to what he did to Heather. Now.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Inside the Bronco, investigators reportively found hair fibers similar to Heather's,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but this evidence has not been publicly confirmed. Now. Despite
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: naming Dial the primary suspect, police have not closed this case.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: A grand jury was convened to investigate feather Gil's wife, however,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: refused to testify, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights. Guys, I've
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: said this before. I get we have the right to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: not incriminate ourselves. But I in the beginning of this
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: felt sorry for her because he was like, go out
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of the house, the less you know, the better. The
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: fact that she took the Fifth Amendment tells me she
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: knows something. So how can she not be held for
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: tampering withholding evidence? I don't know. I'm not a legal person. Now,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: authorities can tell you the investigation, but this trail grew cold. Okay.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: A bootprint found near Heather's chair didn't match the witness
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: account of the suspects. Shoes, guys, it's a beach front.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: There could be all I mean, she put her chair
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the beach. There could be a lot of boot
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and footprints. Okay. Now, leeds have been pursued across multiple states,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: but nothing has panned out. Okay, this case remained unsolved
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for years. I mean, no arrest, no trials, no trace
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of Heather. Now, in two thousand and four, a new
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: theory emerged. Ohio authority suggested that convicted murderer Christopher J. Below,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: who's a native of Henderson, Kentucky, Kentucky, might be linked
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to Heather's disappearance. Below has had murdered of women in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Ohio in nineteen ninety one and had a history of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: violent behavior towards women, and detectives noted that Below abruptly
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: moved away from Kentucky shortly after Heather's abduction. Now he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: matched the general type of suspect Heather's case involved because
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: young women's similar appearance had been taken suddenly. Now he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: has been labeled a person of interest. He's never been
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: charged in Heather's case, and he remains incarcerated for the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio murder. Now, Heather's mother, Sarah Tigue, never gave up.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: She waved a year long, years long battle of law enforcement,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: seeking transparency, records, and renewed efforts. She filed open records
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: requests and lawsuits, criticizing investigators for narrowing too narrowly on
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Martin deal in ignoring other possibilities. Now in two thousand
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and seven, Heather was legally declared deceased to allow access
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to FBI files. Okay, twenty thirteen, Sarah filed a civil
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: rights lawsuit accusing multiple agencies of failing to properly investigate
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the case. The suit was dismissed, but it brought fresh
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: attention to the case. On anniversaries of Heather's disappearance, Sarah
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: continued to hold vigils, pushing for investigation and seeking the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: truth about what happened to her daughter. Now in twenty
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: twenty four, nearly thirty years after Heather's disappearance, new developments emerged.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Sarah filed another federal lawsuit, this time seeking twenty nine
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: million dollars in damages, citing investigative failures by both both
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the Kentucky State Police and the FBI. The legal pressure
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: helped trigger a review by a special prosecutor and a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: new forensic examination. Now, evidence from the nineteen ninety five investigation,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: including Heather's bathing suit bottom recovered near that site, was
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: sent to a Virginia lab for modern DNA testing. Advances
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in forensic technologies such as touch DNA and geneological databases
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: have created new hope that previously unusable evidence may now
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: yield a DNA profile. Authorities confirmed early this year in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, that testing was underway, though results have
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: not yet been made public. Heather Teak remains missing okay.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: No one has ever been arrested in connection with their disappearance. Now.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: While Marty Dial remains the main suspect in the eyes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of many investigators, others, including Heather's family, believe more suspects
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: should have been explored, especially Christopher Below. Now the case
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: remains open and the DNA results are pending, and a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: special prosecutor is still reviewing evidence. The hope is that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: new science will succeed where previous investigations did not, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: hopefully it will bring long awaited answers to Heather's family.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Heather's mother continues to speak out, reminding the public and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: authorities that justice delayed is justice denied? Okay, that she
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is still waiting. If you have any information, no matter
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: how small, your urge to contact Kentucky State Polease Post
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sixteen at two seven zero eight two six three three
• 12:09

  Speaker 1: tcd wtmedia dot com, or you can send us a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: DM on our Facebook page. I actually had someone ask
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: what is a DM? That is a direct message? Some
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: people call it a private message, but it's a DM.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's a direct message to us. Okay, Now, our second
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: case today is about Kimberly Rose Abercrombie. She was born
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Moore. She was twenty three years old, and she
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: was a mother and wife from Bracken County, Kentucky. She
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: vanished on June thirteenth, twenty thirteen. Now at the time,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: her husband, Nick Abercrombie, was deployed overseas with the US
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Army and she was living in Augusta, Kentucky with their
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: young son. Now, Kimberly had a history of substance abuse
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and was facing legal issues related to drug charges. Guys,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about that. Okay, she's missing,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: but I just want to let you know she was
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: facing those issues. On the day she disappeared, Kimberly left
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: her home in Brooksville, Kentucky, stating she would return later.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: She never returned that same day. Her read nineteen ninety
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: nine Pontiet Grand m was a found abandoned at a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: park and ride lot in Johnsville along Kentucky Route nine. Guys.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Her personal belongings, including clothes and wallet, were inside the car,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: but her keys were missing. Okay. She was reported missing
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: five days later on June eighteenth, twenty thirteen, by a friend. Now,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Kentucky State Police initiated investigation that have found limited leads. Okay, Now,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Lady and Gray said she was a vulnerable person and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it's easier for something to happen to them. It doesn't
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: mean they are bad or deserved it. Lady and Gray,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I say, maybe she wanted to get
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: away for herself by a couple hours. Maybe she wanted
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: some time alone. She's still something nefarious could happen, Okay. Now,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a hypodermic needle was discovered in her car, consistent with
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: her known drug abuse. Guys, that doesn't mean she doesn't
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: deserve to be found. It is an addiction. It is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: something it's hard to combat, and it's hard to get
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: out of. Okay. In my opinion, they need more help
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: from us. They do not need us to judge them. Now,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: there were no signs of a struggle. Her phone and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: keys were missing. Now, Guys, her wallet was in the car,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So that makes me think she wasn't going buying more
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: drugs because she would need your wallet for that, in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: my opinion. Now, her online presence, which had once been
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: vibrant and regular went completely silent after that day. Her
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: bake account, usage, social media nothing, Okay. Family members believe
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: she would not have voluntarily abandoned her son. Now, rumors
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have circulated that she may have overdosed in Cincinnati and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that those present concealed her body to avoid legal consequences.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: This theory remains unconfirmed. And I want to just say,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: if someone overdoses, just drop them off outside a fire station,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a hospital, somewhere where they can be found by her car.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Don't dispose of their body. Okay, don't do it. Kimberly's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: family has expressed frustration with the investigation, feeling that her
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: lifestyle may have influenced the level of urgency and the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: search efforts. We see that happen a lot, guys, we do.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Her sister has been very vocal about the lack of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: progress and the family's belief that foul play was involved.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They maintained that Kimberly would not have willingly left her
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: child and family behind. Guys, she had a substance abuse problem,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: her husband is deployed, she is taking care of their child.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I have so much compassion and empathy for wives of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: deployed military. It is one reason I said I could
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: never be married to someone in the military. It's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: something I mentally could handle. So I could see I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: personally know some people who were wives of deployed military
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: personnel or still are, and they drink a lot. You
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: do whatever you have to do to get through it,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: but it becomes an addiction and it can become a problem.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: We need to search for them even more. This is
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a wife whose husband is doing what he wants and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: can for all of us. We should help them even
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: more my Attin my opinion, law enforcement should have jumped
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: double because of this, because there's also a child. As
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of now, Kimberly Abercrombie remains missing and her case is
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: unsolved and is not getting the attention and help it deserves.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: She is described as five feet sanctionce is tall, weighs
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: approximately one hundred and ten pounds, brown hair, and brown eyes.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: She has several distinctive tattoos, including a full back fairy
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Chinese lettering on her abdomen, a butterfly on her left
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ankle and a till cervical canter ribbon on her left side,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and the name Zane Austen on her left foot. Anyone
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: with information about her disappearance is urged to contact the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Kentucky State Police at eight five nine four two eight
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: one two one two. Guys, if you are the people
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: rumored to have been with her when she overdosed, do
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the right thing. You can anonymously reach out to the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: FBI even if they're not investigating this case, and you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: can do an anonymous tip, or you can message us
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: anonymously okay. Now, for ongoing updates and to support the
