  Speaker 1: Hi friends, This is Andrea and I'm Haley, and you're
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: listening to in Human, a true crime podcast. Okay, so
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: today we don't really have any well, we do kind
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of have a little bit of just update on the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Gabby Patito case, but we don't really have any like
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: other news pertaining to like the podcast or anything. So
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Haley take it away.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Ye. So, really, I just wanted to give a little
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: it's not even really an update, but just what's going
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: on in that case because I know a lot of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: people have been following it, and basically they are still
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: searching for Brian laundry. Dude, I just started recording.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I put clothes out, she did all the things I'm recording. Hi.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So anyway, before my fiance rudely burst in here, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: there's not much update, but they're still searching for Brian laundry.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And then actually today which is a couple days before
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: before you'll be hearing this, but it has been reported
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that parts of the Carleton Reserve are actually reopened. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that's like the main area they've been searching for Brian.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I saw that and I was like, well that's interesting,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, find anything.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they haven't said why, and they haven't like
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: said where else they're searching, but it seems like they've
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: kind of stopped their search there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So I feel like he was never there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I agree. Or maybe he was there
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: for like a hot second and then left.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I think too.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Unless he's no longer alive and he like got eaten
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: by an animal or something.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that. That'd be too that'd be too easy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I don't good to be true.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then also, Andrea, before we get into the episode,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: do you want to announce on the podcast the genders
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of your baby? Oh?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can do that if we never did. Yeah. So,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and also gave birth to a kidney son yesterday. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that was fun. Maybe I'll post a picture of it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on our Instagram so you guys can feel sorry for me.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But it was huge. I was like, oh my god,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: how did I not die? But the good news is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that I am having two little girls, so the twins
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: are gonna be girls. They're not identical, but still exciting,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so it'll be I have a little boy and two
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: little girls. That's just so crazy to me.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited. Man, he's going to be such a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: sweet older brother.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he really is. He's excited. I don't think he
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: still understands that, Like I have two babies and they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: going to be like in our lives.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: They're gonna come and he's gonna be like, wait a minute, I.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Thought, yeah, he's like my mama.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: No, I think he's going to be the sweetest.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he'll be a big helper. So that'll
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: be good.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited for you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So I guess we did have a little podcast o
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: date even though it wasn't like for the podcast, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: where we are the podcast so exactly. So yeah, So
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that's all the news or updates that we have for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you guys today. So now I'm just gonna dive right
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: into the case that I'm covering this week. And uh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Hayley and I were talking about it before we started recording,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and neither one of us really knew a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the details of this case, Like I had kind of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: heard it in passing, like I've I don't think I've
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: ever heard another podcast cover it except for so let
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: me just say this really quick. I guess so about
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: six or seven pages into my research, if that tells
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you how long this is gonna be. I actually did
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: come across a podcast that was dedicated to this case.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, So I binged listen to it. It was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: there were short episodes. There were like twenty minute episodes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and they gave a lot of background to like the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: area and like the host of the show, like she's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: from that area originally, so it wasn't like it was
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: mostly about the case, but she gave a lot of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like geography and like historic kind of information, which was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: nice just to have. So I did go in and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: tweak some of my notes a little bit after listening
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to that, because there was some stuff in there that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I had never heard in all the research that I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: had done. So I will link that podcast in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: show notes for sure, because it is a good listen
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and it's a quick listen if you just need something
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to listen to, like on the drive to work or
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: why you work out or whatever.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So I am going to be covering the Springfield three
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear it because I really know almost nothing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like, so I think at first, when you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: told me you were covering this, I was thinking you
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: were going to it was the West. What is it
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Westfield West, Memphis three?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So at first I was like, oh, yeah, I've
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: heard that one. But then when I looked at it
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: again and you said you were covering the Springfield three,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, that's not it. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: don't think I know that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I could see. I could definitely see how you would
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: confuse those, because I mean it's very similar, and people
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of the like armchair detective type people, they
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: call this case the three Missing women or T three
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: W for short. Okay, so these are the people that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: are really invested in this case. Like I did read
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: some of the what is it like Reddit kind of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: websites where people have their theories and all that stuff,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of referencing to that like name. Okay,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but for the sake of this podcast, I'm going to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: be calling them the Springfield three. And they do have names,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: so I will be calling them by their name. Awesome.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: In the early morning hours of June seventh, nineteen ninety two, Suzanne,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Susie Streeter, Stacy McCall, and Susie's mother, Cheryl Levitt, seemingly
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: vanished into thin air. What happened to these women? And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: why are there still so many unanswered questions almost thirty
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: years later, so it's been about let me think it
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was ninety two, so that's like what twenty nine, twenty yeah, yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: twenty nine years so not quite thirty years. So in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, Springfield, Missouri was considered a safe, family
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: friendly area. It was a tight knit community, kind of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the everybody knows everybody, everybody's in everybody's business a little bit,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: especially in the neighborhood that they lived in. Like you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: would notice if like a car was at a place,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: or you know, if there was like a visitor or
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: something like pretty much all the neighbors would recognize that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and be like peeping out of their window. I guess
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it was the type of area, like I said, where
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: everyone knew everyone, people kept their doors unlocked, and there
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was little to no crime at that time. However, after
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this tragic event, all of that changed forever. So Stacy
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and Susie were childhood friends. They had actually met in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: elementary school. However, Stacy and her family had moved away
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: for a brief period of time to Kansas, and when
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they returned, Stacy and Susie had grown apart. As kids do,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: especially when you don't see each other every day. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it was the nineties, so there wasn't like texting and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: social media and all that, And Susie had started hanging
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with a different crowd of people, and Stacy kind of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: ended up hanging out with her sisters a lot, so
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they just didn't really necessarily cross paths. Susie lived with
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: her mom, Cheryl, who was forty seven, a single mother
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and a hairdresser, and they had moved into the home
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: at seventeen seventeen East del Mar just two months before
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the disappearance. Stacy, who was eighteen, and Susie nineteen, had
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: recently rekindled their friendship a few months before graduation, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they were seen hanging out pretty frequently again. They had
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: also spent a lot of time with another friend, Janelle,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: who becomes a pretty important person in this case as well.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'll get to a little I'll get to that a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: little later. So now back to the graduation that I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just mentioned. Stacy and Susie both graduated on June sixth,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two from Kickapoo High School. And yes it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is Kickapoo, like it sounds like Kickapoo.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So we had like a not me, but my little
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: sister had like almost it wasn't a girl scout tribe,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: but it was like I think they actually called it
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like Indian princesses or something at the time, which probably
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: isn't like politically correct. Yeah, that's what it was called.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And their group was called the Kickapoo Tribe.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I think it is a tribe. That's exactly what I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: think that it, you know, derived from. I didn't do
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: any research into that. I'm sorry, but I didn't see
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that it was very relevant. Yeah, but much like many
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of the graduating students and probably like you and I,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the girls had plans that evening to go to some
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: graduation parties to celebrate. They also had plans the following
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: day to go to a water park in Branson, Missouri
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: called Whitewater, which I think was about two hours away
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: from Springfield. Originally, the girls had planned to meet Janelle
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that evening and drive down, but you know, after going
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to some parties, they kind of decided we'll just go
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in the morning, you know. So at ten thirty pm
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that night, Stacy called her mom, Janie and told her
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they weren't going to drive down that evening, that they
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: were changing their plans and they were going to sleep
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: over at Janelle's house. They actually ended up going to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: more parties and at two thirty a m. They went
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: back to Janelle's to sleepover, but probably like a lot
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of families, there were several family members staying at Janelle's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: house due to the graduation, and Susie and Stacy decided
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that they would sleepover at Susie's instead and that they
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: would call Janelle the following morning to make plans to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: meet and head down to Branson to go to the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: water park. So Susie and Stacy each drove their own
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: cars back to Susie's. Janelle was the last person to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: see or speak to the girls before they seemingly vanished.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So it was actually Janelle and her mother who talked
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to the girls before they left, but I guess Janelle
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was like technically the last person to see them. From
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: all accounts, Cheryl, Susie's mom, had a normal night. She
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: spoke to a friend around eleven fifteen, and the girls
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: arrived at Susie's that morning, you know, a little after
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: two thirty. I don't think the drive was very far
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: from Janelle to Susie's house. Both their cars were in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the circle driveway that was in front of the home,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and Cheryl's was in the car port. So a lot
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of Susie's friends, well a couple of Susie's friends, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: should say, said that Susie would always wake her mom
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: up to let her know that she was home safely.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: She would just kind of go in her room, give
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: her a little peck on the cheek and say, hey,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I'm home, I say, you know. So, did Susie wake
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: her mom up that night to let her know that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: they were home safely? Did she tell her, hey, Stacy's here,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: She's going to spend the night, because that was something
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that she did do, But we don't know. Yeah, it
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: is apparent though that the girls did make it to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the house in those early morning hours of June seventh.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Like I mentioned before, their cars were in the driveway,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: but their clothing, their keys, their purses, and even their
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: jewelry was all inside the home.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: That's not good, right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Even Cheryl's purse was in the home. Another thing that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: was in the home was Cheryl and Susie's cigarettes, which
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: struck a chord with everyone because both of these women
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: were known to be What's commonly referred to as chain smokers,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and if you know anything about a chain smoker, they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: don't leave their cigarettes behind. So that was a little
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: alarming And I'll touch base on that a little more
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: later as we get into the investigation.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Right, And like, you know, maybe if their stuff was
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: left behind, they might have gone outside of smoke or
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: something you know, left there like purses and everything. Yeah,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: but if their cigarettes were also inside, then that theory
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: couldn't be true.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like pretty much any scenario, Like you know, a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: lot of people had a lot of different theories as
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to what they could have done, like you know, walked
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: off for whatever reason. But I would think you would
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at least take your cigarettes or at least take your
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: purse and your clothing. I mean the clothing that they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: were wearing that evening was just there.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That's really weird.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So around seven am, I think it was seven thirty
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: am that morning, when the girls were supposed to contact
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Janelle and she hadn't heard from them. She decided to call,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and she got no answer. She called several times and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: then decided to head over to Susie's house to see,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you know, if they'd overslept or what was going on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Right again, It's the early nineties. There's no cell phones,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: no luxury of texting, so they just decided to drive
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: over there. When she and her boyfriend Mike arrived at
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Susie's home, they knocked on the door. They noticed all
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: three cars were in the driveway, but no one answered
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the door.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They also noticed that the porch light globe had
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: been busted, so like the part that goes over the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: light bulb was blessed on the front porch. The bulb
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: itself was fine, it was on, which they thought that
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: was odd too, but you know, you don't really think
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: too much into it when you're just trying to get
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in touch with your friends, right. And they also noticed
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that the front door was unlocked.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, but you did say that this area people would.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Leave their doors locked, yea. So it was at that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: point they decided to leave and come back a little
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: later before they actually left for the water park, just
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in case the three women had went on a walk
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: or walked to a nearby breakfast spot, which I guess
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: people did, I don't know, but still their purses were there.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: So did they knock on the door.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they knocked on the door, No an answer.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Did you say that maybe I missed that?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I did say that. Okay, I missed it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so they knocked on the door, but at
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that time, they didn't have any real reason to believe
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they weren't there right, or that they were like that
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: something bad happened, right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: There was no urgency, no alarm bells ringing, you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: they were just like, h right, it's where like maybe
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they went for a walk, or maybe they went to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: go get breakfast, because at that point they didn't know
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that the purses were there, right.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: They just saw that they weren't answering the door, so
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: they maybe, yeah, I thought they went somewhere, So they
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: didn't have any reason to like go inside and see
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: where they were, okay.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So it was reported that another friend of Susie's also
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: stopped by that morning after she was unable to reach
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Susie by phone. This friend noticed right away that Susie's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: car wasn't parked where she normally parked it, which was
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: very odd to her. She told police later that Susie
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: always parked her car behind her mom's car in the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: car port, not in the circle. So if you think
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: about like a one car car port like her mom's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: parked there, and then she would pull in right behind her. Okay,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And the friend said that unless her mom wasn't home
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: yet or another car was parked in that spot, there
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: would be really no reason for her not to.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Park there, right, Okay.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't necessarily agree or disagree that this would
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: be odd just because it was super late, like maybe
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they had some drinks, like there could be sitch. You know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: maybe she pulled in and then her you know, she
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: wanted her friend to pull in behind her in the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: circle parking or the circle driveway. So you know, it
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: was probably odd to her friend because that was something
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that she always did. But again, it's not like a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: big red flag to me. Right. So around twelve thirty pm,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: so just a couple of hours after or about two
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: three hours three and a half hours after Janelle and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Mike had originally got to their home, they decided since
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: no one was answering the door still and it was unlocked,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they would just peek their heads in and check to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: make sure nothing was awry. But before heading into the house,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: they decided to sweep up the glass that was on
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the front porch so no one would step on it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how I feel about that. I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: think that's very like non teenagery, not that that's a word.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: But there was a broom on the porch, so and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it and they and they told police later that they
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: took the glass and dumped it over the fence, which
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: there was a dentist office next door. So I was like,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: why would you do that?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why wouldn't you like leave it in the dust
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: pan or something. I like part of me is like, okay,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: like that makes sense. Glass is dangerous, But also another
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: part of me is like, if you were planning to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: go see what was going.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: On, why take the time to do that, right.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Because at this point you clearly have some sort of
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: idea that something wasn't right if you decided you were
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: going to go see, Yeah, all right.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah this was This will be like a key thing
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: later in the investigation. So okay, we'll touch back on
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that in a moment. But I thought it was very
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: odd as well, and the fact that they took it
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: or like and dumped it over, Like like you said,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: why not just leaving it?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Does one that's like a teenager thing, Like that's like
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you're just not thinking and you're like, I'm just gonna
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: dump it over, like you just weren't thinking about it
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: but actually.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Sweeping it up.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Upon entering the home, they noticed that the TV
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: was on in the living room, and it was then
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that they noticed that all three of the women's purses
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: were lined up near Susie's room. So the way I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: envisioned it is that there was like a couple like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: step downs before you got to where the bedrooms were,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and I guess Susie's was the first one, and Ryl's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: purse was like on the stairs, and the two girls
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: purses were like on the last stair on the floor
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: by Susie's bedroom.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, so like if you had come in the house
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and gone down to the bedroom, you might drop your
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: purse there. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: While Janelle and Mike were in the home, the phone
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: rang and Janelle answered it, which I don't know. I
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: guess I would answer it to if like no one
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: was there and like maybe it was them trying to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: get help or I don't know.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And I feel like that time and in a small
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: town like that where you know, everybody knew each other
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and whatever, like I can totally understand that happening, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's that weird.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's that weird either. But on
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the other other side of the phone there was a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: male voice and the guy was like making really crude remarks,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and so Janelle hung up. But again, it's the nineties,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it's graduation time. People used to let me tell you,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I used to prank call when I was especially when
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I was in like middle school, I used to prank
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: call all that's what me and my friend did on
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: sleepovers and stuff your fridge run in better go catch it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But not like he don't want to fuck your mom,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you know, like yeah, like or whatever he said, yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I just I like, yeah, you guys can't see my face,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: but I'm literally just here, like what okay? All right?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think the fact that it was, like,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you know, a common thing that, especially like high school,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: most school kids did. Janelle didn't think much of it,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: but he ended up calling back again, and again he
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: made crude remarks and hung up, and eventually he called
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: another time, but this time Janelle did not answer, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: he left a crude message on the answering machine.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: As well, oh, interesting, So that doesn't sound.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Like very diligent. Yeah, very diligent, right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Like we used to prank call and it would I mean,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I wasn't born in ninety two, but when I was
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: in middle school and stuff like, we would prank call too,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: but it would be like funny stuff, and if somebody
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: didn't pick up, we wouldn't keep calling them.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: No, And if they did pick up, you were like,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I'm never calling them again.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it was, unless you knew them and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you were like trying to, you know, pull their leg
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever you want to say. Maybe like a boy
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you had a crush on or something, you might call
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: him more than once, but right, again being funny, not
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: making crude comments. Yeah, definitely not letting a message like
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: yeah I was.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Gonna say, and leaving a message like that's yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we'll learn later though that this I'm about
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to say voicemail, but it's not even voicemail. It's answering
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: machine message mistakenly mysteriously got deleted.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm getting the vibe that maybe this didn't
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: actually happen.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So also that morning, Janice who is Stacy's mom. So
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the friend of Susie called Janelle's house because she hadn't
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: heard from Stacy, and she found out that Stacy hadn't
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: stayed over at Janelle's, that she in fact went back
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: with Susie and slept over there. This was not like
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Stacy at all. She was very, you know, good at
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: communicating with her mother. She always told her mom where
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: she was going to be, and this instantly worried Janice
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: because number one, she hadn't heard from her daughter all
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: morning and she wasn't where she said she was going
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to be right, which I get, you know, it's two
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. You're eighteen. You don't want to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: call your parents and be like, hey, I'm spending the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: night at so and so's house. But it was still
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: alarming because Janis was so used to her like knowing
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: where Stacy was.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Right, like if yeah, I don't think, well, my parents
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: were really strict, so maybe I would have, but I
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: don't think I would have like called it two thirty
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: in the morning. I would have like called in the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: next like the next morning and said like, hey, here's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: where I am. Right.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: So the day continued on and Janie, you know, was
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: continuing to get more and more worried. She hadn't heard
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: from her daughter all day, and she tried to get
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in touch with Janelle to find out where Susie lived,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and she heard that Janelle was over at one of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the local water slides. So instead of driving the two
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: ish hours to Branson, they had just decided to stay
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: local and go to a local water slide, which I'm
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: assuming is because they probably spent like the majority of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the morning trying to figure out where Stacy and Susie were.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Right And just a sign note, this is probably very
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: like millennial slash bordering on gen z of me because
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I'm literally a month short of technically being a millennial.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: But it stresses me out so much thinking that, like
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: they didn't have cell phones to communicate. Yeah, like and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you just wouldn't really know where your kid was.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I lived during that time. It was
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know how we did it. Just thinking about
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: like going places without GPS and stuff. I'm like, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: we had map quests, we'd print off directions and stuff,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: but like, yeah, it's kind of crazy to think, like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: what how did we live?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, it stresses me out thinking about that. I'm
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: glad we live in the time we live in.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, especially for that because it's good to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like know where people are at all times if you
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: need to get in touch.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: With them, Yes, and share your location with your friends guys.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for the last time. And actually was it was
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: interesting because one of the friends that they interviewed on
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that podcast I listened to she said she was like, yeah,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you would go like hours sometimes days without talking to people.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I guess you would. I mean
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: if you didn't call your friends on the phone, like yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't text them, you know, you wouldn't have any
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: other means to reach out. And that's just I mean crazy.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Our friend Rachel is currently at Disney World with her
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: family and like so we haven't like been talking to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: her as much as normal. And I was thinking today, like,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I hope she's okay, Like I haven't heard from her.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I thought the same thing this morning cause I was
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: like I checked out. I was like she did, she
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: didn't post a story, she hasn't checked in, but then
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: she checked in like later the scenings.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, you're alive. Yeah, but still it
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: was like weird. And that was what like maybe twelve
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: hours of not hearing from her, and we were like,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: in the heck, yeah, so I can't imagine going days
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: without hearing from friends, Like it's just weird.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I know that's a wild time, but yeah, it was
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a wild time.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I think I'm showing how young I am here.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember any of it, so whatever. So
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Janice and her husband they went down to the local
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: water slide. They found Janelle. They spoke to her and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: asked her where Susie lived, and then Janis headed over
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: to Cheryl and Susie's home. Janis, like Janelle, they she
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: just walked right in the house. She noticed that the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: TV was on and the women's purses were lined up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Their dogs. Cinnamon was there as well, which I don't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: know where he was in the beginning of the story
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: because no one mentioned him any of the reports that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I read, and he seemed like he was beyond excited
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to see someone. He was like a little your key,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, but to be fair, all like especially little dogs
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: like I could go outside for two minutes, and maybe
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: not so much Mackie, but my parents' dog, like she's
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: a little Maltese and you could literally be gone for
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: two minutes and she'll be so excited for you. So like,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily mean that he had been alone for
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was I guess the assumption that they
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: made because interesting, you know, he was like so excited
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to see them and he didn't know them from Adam.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But again, small dogs are like that, They're like all
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: yeapy and excited.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So Janis went into Susie's room and she saw Stacy's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: short that she had been wearing that evening along with
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: her brawl and her sandals, and tucked into her shorts
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: pocket was the jewelry that she had been wearing that evening.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So in her mind, she's thinking, Okay, my daughter is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: in her T shirt and underwear getting ready for bed. Okay, yeah,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and then she's missing. So my daughter is in her
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: T shirt and underwear missing, which is alarming.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Did they not think at all that maybe she borrowed clothes?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I was wondering too, because I was like,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: because they said, like Stacy's clothes that she was wearing
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that night were there, and then Susie's clothes that she
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: was wearing that evening were there, and they would have
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: been like in their T shirt and underwear getting ready
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: for bed. But I was like, I used to borrow clothes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like borrow clothes to sleep in for my friends. So
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think that they thought that, but I think
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it's a possibility for sure.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, So Janelle didn't think anything was weird when she
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: saw the purses there and the TV left on. No, Okay,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: that's she's.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, she's a teenager, so or at that time,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: now janis the mother. She she did she thought it
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: was very odd that the purses were lined up. Okay,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: but that may you know, I have a set spot
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: in my house where I put my purse.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily feel it was weird that they
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: were lined up, but it would be weird that nobody
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: has heard from them and their purses are there and
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the TV is left on.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So at that point, Janie decides to call the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: police and report her daughter missing. So in the podcast
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I listened to, she said that nine one one was
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: new in their area, Oh my gosh, which is also
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: crazy to me because I'm like, okay, ninety two, Like
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that wasn't that long ago. Nine one one. When when
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: did nine one one come out?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I need to like look that up sometime.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to look it up.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But she didn't even want to call nine one one
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: because it was so new, and she thought it was
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: like for emergencies, and she wasn't convinced yet that this
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: was like an emergency situation.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, according to one article on Google nine, in
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: January of nineteen sixty eight, the American Telephone and Telegraph
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Company announced that within its serving areas, the digits nine
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to one one were available for installation on a national
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: scale as the single emergency telephone number.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: See that makes more sense to me. Yeah, but maybe
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: it was like like you said, in certain areas.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: In certain areas it was rolling out, but sixty eight
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: to ninety two jugs. But I guess if it was
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: like a small town, like they have to be able
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: to set it up and have the resources.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So and I think Springfield was at that time like
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a pretty small area from what from the way they
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: make it make it sound and describe it. So she
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: called like the no emergency number, and she spoke to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: someone and they said that they would send out a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: investigator or an officer. When the investigator, Rick book Out arrived,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: he saw the women's cars and he checked and all
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of the doors were locked. So that was a good sign,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I guess to him, because they were you know, they
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: got out of their car, they locked their car right,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and they obviously made it inside the house because their
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: belongings were there. He was a bit alarmed that the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: glass from the front porch had been swept up due
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to it being potential evidence, so they did tell him, well,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I guess. He asked why there was no bulb there,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and they told Janelle and her boyfriend told him that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: they had swept it up because there was glass on
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the ground and that could be a sign of someone
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: trying to put the light out so no one would
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: see something going on. You know, those are the thoughts
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in his head as an investigator, right, and not that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: there would necessarily be fingerprints on them, but like a hair,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a fiber, you know whatever. So upon entering the home,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: he checked all the rooms and he did not notice
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: any obvious sign of struggle. He did, however, notice.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: That the blinds in the window of the living room,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: so they'll I'll post a picture of the house on
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: our Instagram, so he can have like a better visual.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: But if you think like a big like two window
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to paint not pain. Is that what they're called to pain?
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, window.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Panes, So it would be like two windows side by side.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: One of the blind blades was lifted as though someone
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: had been peering out and it stuck. So that was
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: something that he pointed out that was kind of interesting
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: because like maybe someone had been peering out because they
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: heard a noise. Could have been Cheryl hearing the girls
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: come home looking out.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like part of me. I mean, it's good
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that he noticed that. Yeah, but also like that could
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: be anything. It could have been from days before, right,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: you know, if they don't like open the blinds a
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: lot or something.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But if you're a freak like me, you would notice
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that and you would fix it right away. So you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: don't want anyone weird else.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's very true, but you never know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: like that could technically be from anything. But props to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: this guy for noticing that, because I feel like that's
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: a very little thing.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but you know he picked up on
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: it and jotted it down in his brain, good for later.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: So at that time, he did hear the answer machine
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: at that time, he did hear the answering machine message
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: from the man who left the crude message.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Oh so he heard it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: He did hear it. So it was after he had
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: heard it that it got erased. So we don't know
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: if he erased it or if someone else. There was
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: reportedly twenty people in and out of the home that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: day that were not police or investigators.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it could have been literally anyone.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's important, I think, I mean, I don't
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: know this case, but somebody else other than Janelle and
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: her boyfriend heard it, actually heard the message.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like the investigator heard it, Okay, So he
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: was obviously, like I just mentioned, pretty alarmed at the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: amount of people that had been in and out of
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the house that day, possibly disturbing the scene of a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: potential crime. But he wasn't at that point entirely convinced
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: that there was a crime scene to have been disturbed.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Like I mentioned before, like this area is not known
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: for crime, is not known for bad things happening, So
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: everyone just kind of thought, like the girls, you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the women, I guess I should say, all just went
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: out and had in return right despite all the weird
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: things they left behind that they would need, such as
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the fact that Cheryl and Susie's cigarettes were left behind.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: He noticed that right away, because, like I mentioned before,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: chainsmokers don't typically leave their cigarettes behind if they're leaving
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: of their own volition, because nicotine is a real drug
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and it's very addictive, and you know, Cheryl was a chain,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: like a straight up chain smoker, like one after another,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you know, boom boom boom. Rick book Out decided to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: place these women as missing persons, and he put on
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the report foul play suspected. So while he wasn't necessarily
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: convinced that there was a crime here, he did have
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: enough sense to put some urgency behind the fact that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: they were missing and that they seemingly just disappeared, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that kind of screamed foul play to him if they
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: hadn't just walked out on their own right. He decided
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to leave a letter and a little card with their
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: number on it for the police department on Cheryl's front door,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: requesting that when she returned to police call the police
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: department so they can cancel the missing person's report, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: they intentionally locked the door knowing that their keys were
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: all inside. That was kind of the point because he
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: knew that they would need police assistance to regain entry
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: into the home upon arrival. That's smart, Yeah, because Janice
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Stacy's mom was like, why would you lock the door?
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Like what if they get back and they want to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: get back in, And he was like, well, that's kind
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of the point. We want them to call us. We
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: don't want them to just dismiss the letter and come back.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: In right because right now it's an open missing person's case.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly. The following day, which was June eighth, and an
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: official investigation began. David Asher was the lead investigator on
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the case, and he described that this case appeared that
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the women had been raptured. Have you ever heard that term? No,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: so in the and this is not like like not
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: everyone thinks this necessarily, but in the you know, Christian faith,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: like when the Lord returns and takes everyone back to Heaven,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: everyone that is you know, quote unquote worthy, I guess
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you could say, is raptured to heaven, leaving behind the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: people who either are destined for down there or they
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: have their I'm like explaining this so horribly, but there's
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: like a thousand years where they can repent and earn
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: their way to heaven. But there's a series called Left Behind.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of that? No, it's got what
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: does that dude's name? Cannis Cameron's brother. What's his name?
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I'm talking Cannas Cameron is a brother.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on he was on Growing Pains. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: can't think of a stinking name right now though, showing
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: my age. Whatever her brother's name is. But it was
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: like a whole series about being raptured and like literally
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the people would just poof out of their clothes and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: just go to heaven.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a good thing because you're going to heaven.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good thing.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, Like that word sounds so negative to me.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Raptured. Yeah, it's like yeah, well it's because like in
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the Bible they talk about the rapture taking place, so
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: like that's ah, but the guy who wrote that book
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and like made it sound like they literally just vanish
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: out of their clothes and like like you could just
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: be driving down the road with your spouse and like poof,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: they're gone, and you're just like in the passenger seat wrecked.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Because like the rapture happened, right, jeez.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: But that was like the way he described that case,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: because that's seemingly what happened. Yeah, because like their clothes,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: their cars, their purses, their keys were all left behind,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: but them, like their selves were gone, right and there
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: was there was like no evidence, no sign of struggle,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: no blood. It appeared that they just literally vanished into
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: My god. Okay, that's really creepy, actually.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: It is, but it's like, I mean, it is a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: really good way to describe it, because yeah, I mean nothing, yeah,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: nothing at all. It wasn't long before news of the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: missing ladies was all over the media. Most of the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: people believe that Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy would just show
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: back up. But here we are, almost thirty years later
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and there's still nowhere to be found.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: And on that note, I'm gonna pull Haley and I'm
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: gonna say you're gonna have to stay tuned for the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: rest of this story on Monday's episode because it's a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: long one. It's a doozy, it's a long one. I
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: still have five more pages of research to go over,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna dive into the investigation the theories like
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the meat potatoes of this case, I feel like, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it kind of I guess deserves its own its own episode.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: So oh my gosh, I like, I'm so excited that
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: you're splitting it up because I know we're gonna like
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: dive deep into it, but also like I need to
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: not I need to know.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I know it's so crazy.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I know. Well I'm excited for part two.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I like need to know what this investigation entailed.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they're like, in my eyes, I think that
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: they did a decent job investigating what happened to these
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: girls based on the fact that they had like nothing
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: to go off of. Yeah, but there are some instances
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: where they kind of maybe drop the ball little bit
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: or didn't do a thorough search, or there was like
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: some micromanaging going on. Interesting. So we'll dive more into
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that next week on Monday. And yeah, I hope you
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: guys enjoyed what you've heard so far. It's not enjoyable.
