Latest / The Path Went Chilly / Patrice Endres Pt. Two
Transcript
- 0:29Welcome back to the Path Went Chile for part two of our series about the
- 0:34murder of Patrese Andres. And again I apologize for my raspy voice. I
- 0:38am sick. We just recorded this right after our first episode, so please
- 0:42bear with me. Robin, do you want to catch everyone up on what
- 0:45we talked about in our previous episode. Well, this is a case that
- 0:49was featured on the Unsolved Mysteries reboot, which came out three and a half
- 0:52years ago, about the murder of a thirty eight year old woman named Patrice
- 0:56Andres. She ran her own hair salon in Foresight, County, Georgia.
- 1:00She was married to her fifty eight year old husband, Rob Dress, and
- 1:03they were living with her teenage son Pistol. That's his nickname from a previous
- 1:07marriage. And in April of two thousand and four, Patrese was working her
- 1:11shift at the salon. They called the Unsolved Mysteries episode thirteen minutes because she
- 1:17seemed to go missing during a thirteen minute window because she received a call at
- 1:21eleven thirty seven am from a customer, but when a customer showed up at
- 1:25her salon at eleven fifty Patrise was missing. Her car was still parked there,
- 1:30her purse had been rummaged through, and there would be two witnesses who
- 1:34drove by the salon during that thirteen minute window who provided different descriptions of Patrise
- 1:41with an unidentified individual outside in the parking lot. One witness thought was a
- 1:45long haired man, well, the other thought that the other the individual was
- 1:49a woman. But it appeared that Patrise might be struggling with this person and
- 1:52that they may have abducted and murdered her. And sure enough, it would
- 1:56be in November of two thousand and five, eighteen months after she originally went
- 2:00missing, when her remains were discovered in he wooded area behind a church about
- 2:04six miles away from her hair salon. They looked at a number of suspects.
- 2:07There was a serial killer named Jeremy Jones who confessed to her crime,
- 2:12but a lot of the details he provided did not match the condition her remains
- 2:16were found, and he was known for making false confessions. They have also
- 2:20looked into another serial killer named Gary Michael Hilton, and they have also looked
- 2:23at her husband, Rob as according to their son Pistol, Patrese and Rob
- 2:29had been fighting a lot as she was threatening him with divorce, and the
- 2:32day after Patrese went missing, Rob went to the trouble of locking Pistol out
- 2:37of their residence and would not let him go in to reclaim his possessions.
- 2:42And of course, after it was featured on Unsolved Mysteries, Rob came across
- 2:46very weirdly in his interview and a lot of people thought he was responsible for
- 2:50killing Patrese, but he did seem to have a solid alibi placing him several
- 2:53miles away and at his workplace during the approximate time period she went missing,
- 2:59and Rob passed away just a month before we recorded this episode in late October
- 3:04of twenty twenty three. So if he was the killer, then he never
- 3:07will receive justice for it. But they've also looked into the possibility that it
- 3:10was a murder for hire, so possibly Rob hired someone who did it and
- 3:15that person has yet to face justice. But it's also possible that Rob is
- 3:19innocent and the real killer is still out there. So, as you well
- 3:23know, the title of the Unsolved Mysteries episode about this case was thirteen minutes
- 3:27because that is believed to be the approximate window of time in which Patrese's abduction
- 3:30could have taken place. The last person who confirmed speaking to Patrise said that
- 3:36she phoned the salon to reschedule an appointment before the call ended at eleven thirty
- 3:39seven am, and it's interesting how the caller said that Patrise was unusually short
- 3:45with her during the conversation. Patrice was described as ordinarily being a very chatty
- 3:50person, and another customer who frequented the lawn at around nine am also said
- 3:54that Patrise seemed distracted and not very attentive to her. So I wonder if
- 3:59this is an indication that Patrice had something on her mind that morning, which
- 4:02might support the idea that she was experiencing issues in her marriage with Rob.
- 4:08I also think it's possible that the person responsible for Patrice's disappearance was already inside
- 4:13the salon during that final phone call, which is why Patrice gave off the
- 4:16impression that she wanted to get the call over with as quickly as possible.
- 4:20Since the next call to the salon in eleven fifty went unanswered, this strongly
- 4:26implies that Patrice had already been abducted by that point, especially when you factor
- 4:30in the eyewitness accounts of Patrice's standing outside in the parking lot at around eleven
- 4:33forty five. Now, we mentioned in our last episode that the early media
- 4:38coverage of this case put a heavy emphasis on an eyewitness sighting of an unidentified
- 4:43man and a white cargo band parked outside the slawn. This detail took me
- 4:47by surprise during my original research, since it was never mentioned on Unsolved Mysteries.
- 4:51But it was very disheartening to find out this witness completely fabricated her story,
- 4:57and I have no idea why she would do this, unless she was
- 5:00hoping to collect some reward money. I'm not exactly sure how police learned her
- 5:03story was false, but it likely had something to do with the fact that
- 5:08two completely independent eyewitnesses reported seeing a blue car parked outside the salon, which
- 5:14contradicted her story. And that's quite unfortunate because I couldn't find any mention of
- 5:18the blue car in the older newspaper articles, likely because investigators wasted so much
- 5:24time chasing down the false lead with the van. If the public had been
- 5:28made aware of the blue car much earlier, who knows if things might have
- 5:30turned out differently. That's what's so scary about these cases is that whatever the
- 5:35media decides to focus on. You almost see the detectives the community. Everyone
- 5:41gets this tunnel vision looking for leads and ideas that sometimes aren't even in existence.
- 5:46So it definitely distracted from the eyewitness accounts. We do know that those
- 5:50eyewitnesses also kind of struggled to identify exactly what kind of car, to identify
- 5:57who was with that car. Wasn't an old woman, Was it a man
- 6:00with shoulder linked hair? Who was it that was talking to Patrese? Was
- 6:04their physical violence between the two, what was going on? We haven't really
- 6:10nailed down a consistent story from any eyewitnesses, so it makes all of that
- 6:14information very troubling. That phone call that Patrese gets at the salon from someone
- 6:19wanting to change their appointment. When they say you can, you can hear
- 6:24in her voice that she's not herself. She's almost frustrated and very short tempered.
- 6:28I feel in my gut that someone had walked into the salon to make
- 6:31her very uncomfortable, or that she had already asked to leave, and she's
- 6:35trying to navigate somebody in person that's frustrating her and this client on the phone.
- 6:41I almost feel like somebody's in the store and they're threatening her, and
- 6:45they tell her to answer the phone because they don't want to arouse suspicion or
- 6:50have anybody go, oh, well, why isn't she answering the phone.
- 6:53Let's go check on her. They want to be uninterrupted during the commission of
- 6:58this crime. And so they go answer the phone and behave like nothing's wrong.
- 7:01Because if somebody was just looking around, you might mention something like,
- 7:05hey, there's a weird guy in here or whatever. But it seemed like
- 7:09she didn't share any details. She just came off as really short. Yeah,
- 7:13it could be that she was under dress or something that she's thinking that,
- 7:15well, if I tell the caller about this guy, he may do
- 7:19something to me. So that's why I think that she was worried that her
- 7:23life was an ager and that perhaps, for all we know, this person
- 7:26told her get this customer off the phone as quickly as possible. Now,
- 7:30we frequently talked about the fallibility of eyewitness testimony on numerous episodes of this podcast,
- 7:36and this case is a perfect reminder of it. Technically, the two
- 7:41separate witnesses who drove by the salon and saw patries outside next to a blue
- 7:45car. Were likely correct about the basics, but they contradicted each other on
- 7:48certain details. One witness said the car was a Chevy Lumina, well the
- 7:54other thought it might be a Floord, Taurus or Malibu. I can understand
- 7:58the contradiction because it's not like those vehicles looked drastically different from one another.
- 8:01But what's really strange is that one of the witnesses thought she saw Patrese next
- 8:07to an older woman, and the other mentioned a long haired man. I
- 8:11guess it's possible that because of the long hair, the first witness could have
- 8:15mistaken a man for a woman, though if Patrese's killer was female, then
- 8:18that throws the case in an entirely different direction, especially since the witness thought
- 8:24she saw two women placing their hands on each other. Given the narrow time
- 8:28frame, it seems unlikely that these two witnesses could have passed by the salon
- 8:33on different occasions and seen Patrice next to two different people with two different cars.
- 8:37I guess it's possible that the individual of the blue car had nothing to
- 8:41do with Patrees's murder and just stopped by to ask for directions or something,
- 8:46and subsequently left before the real perpetrator arrived. However, both witnesses placed their
- 8:52sightings at around eleven forty five, and given that the unanswered phone call came
- 8:56in at eleven fifty and a customer who arrived at non nun noticed that Patrese
- 9:01was missing, the timeframe just seems way too narrow. So Patrice was probably
- 9:05abducted only minutes, if not seconds after the witnesses drove away. But regardless
- 9:11of whether the unidentified individual was a man or a woman, they definitely did
- 9:16not match the description of Rob Andres, who was bald, unless he'd happened
- 9:20to be wearing a wig to disguise himself. And while I have no idea
- 9:24what type of vehicle Rob drove at the time, if he was linked to
- 9:28a blue Luminat Taurus or Malibu, I'm pretty sure the authorities would have said
- 9:31so. They said they could not rule him out as a suspect, but
- 9:37they also didn't have anything to actually rule him in as a suspect, right
- 9:41to make him zeroed in on as a main suspect. And so if the
- 9:46car actually matched the identity of Rob, or if the even physical descriptions had
- 9:52matched Rob, I don't think they would have been making those claims. There
- 9:56are definitely some unanswered questions about the circumstances of how Patrice was subducted. There
- 10:01was cash missing from the register inside the salon, and it appears that someone
- 10:05took her wallet out of her purse and went through it, though it seems
- 10:07like they missed the two hundred and seventy dollars she had inside a secret compartment.
- 10:11But there's been a lot of skepticism over the idea thought robbery was the
- 10:16primary motive for this crime, as a responsible party may have stolen the money
- 10:20just to make it look like a robbery gone wrong. The investigators have even
- 10:24said that salons are ordinarily not ideal targets for robberies since they aren't known for
- 10:30keeping a lot of cash on the premises. And of course, a lot
- 10:33has been made about the fact that Patrice's suv was found park near the front
- 10:37door instead of its usual spot next to the side of the building, and
- 10:41the two witnesses both claimed that the suv was already positioned there next to a
- 10:46blue car when they drove past. So this is why it's been theorized that
- 10:50someone could have lured Patrice outside by telling her that their car needed a jump,
- 10:54but shortly after she moved the suv from its usual spot, this person
- 10:58took advance of the situation and abducted her. Hell this was the exact scenario
- 11:03Jeremy Jones described during his confession, which is one of the reasons the authorities
- 11:09initially thought it sounded believable. I do think this is a plausible theory,
- 11:13but the one thing I'm not sure about is why someone would have gone through
- 11:16the cash register and Patrice's purse if she is abducted outside the building. There
- 11:22has been speculation that more than one person was involved in this crime, which
- 11:26might provide an explanation for why we have conflicting eyewitness accounts about seeing a woman
- 11:31and a long haired man with Patrice. What if they were actually two separate
- 11:35people who conspired to abduct Patrise together. I was wondering the same thing,
- 11:41you know, when there's a description that there was a older woman, and
- 11:43then you have a description that there's a long haired man. Unless the oun
- 11:46witness is really just didn't get a good look. I was thinking, is
- 11:50it possible it's one of those couple kind of abductions where a wife is the
- 11:54one who maybe gets out of the car, or an older lady gets out
- 11:56of the car to say, hey, I need your help, Patria.
- 12:00She's innocent, she doesn't seem threatening, and by the time the woman lures
- 12:05her outside, then you have a man waiting to actually abduct her or hurt
- 12:09her. I think it doesn't require much to think that once they had her
- 12:13subdued, that they would run in and try to look for any quick money.
- 12:16Just running to the cash register and grabbing the wallet out of her purse
- 12:20or the cash out of her purse that was visible, doesn't seem too wild.
- 12:24I mean, while we're here, we may as well see if we
- 12:26can get a little bit of money to make our way a little further down
- 12:28the road. But it's crazy when you think about them. Jeremy Jones,
- 12:33he does describe that exact scenario that he needed to stop and hit up this
- 12:39salon and was able to lure Patrice out. Oh, it's devastating to think
- 12:45there was such a short window of time between her last client and the next
- 12:50person to come in that didn't find her. To think she just literally vanished
- 12:54and we have no answers. Yeah, it could be a scenario where maybe
- 12:58the first and second witness are correct, that the one who saw or with
- 13:01the woman. Maybe this person pulled over to ask Patrice for a jump,
- 13:05and she had a male companion who was still inside the blue car at that
- 13:09point, and then by the time the second witness passed by, the man
- 13:13had come out of the car and was struggling with Patrese while the woman ran
- 13:16inside to go to the cash register or check her purse or something. So
- 13:20that's why I don't think it's completely implausible that it could have been a man
- 13:22and a woman working together. And we're never truly going to know because of
- 13:26the state of her body when it was found, being that it was skeletal
- 13:30remains, if this was a sexually motivated crime, right, like we said,
- 13:35it could have been just staged to look like a robbery gone wrong.
- 13:39But then they abducked her, so it's like, what are you planning to
- 13:43do with her? And was that the primary objective? Was it sexually based?
- 13:48But we're just we don't have those answers now. Before we discussed the
- 13:54likelihood of rob or anyone else committing this crime, we have to talk about
- 13:58the two convicted murderers who looked at as potential suspects, and appropriately enough,
- 14:03both of these men have been considered potential suspects in other cases which were featured
- 14:07on Unsolved Mysteries throughout two thousand and five. Jeremy Jones dominated all the news
- 14:13coverage of this case since he made a confession to Patrese's murder. At the
- 14:18time, she was still a missing person, so it seemed like a very
- 14:20promising lead. But since Jones said he dumb Patrise's body in a creek,
- 14:26which turned out to be over sixty miles away from the wooded area where her
- 14:28remains were ultimately found, his confession lost a lot of credibility. Many people
- 14:35no longer believed Jones had any involvement in Patrise's death, and even though Jones
- 14:39himself has recounted the confession, at least one investigator who was interviewed during the
- 14:45Unsolved Mystery segment was not ready to completely rule him out, since Joanes supposedly
- 14:50provided very accurate details about the crime scene. While his claims about luring Patrese
- 14:56outside by asking her to jumpstart his vehicle do seem plausible on the surface,
- 15:01it also doesn't sound like he provided eddy specific details which were not already public
- 15:07knowledge at this point. Most of the newspaper articles from that time period mentioned
- 15:11Patrice's suv being parked near the front door, so Jones easily could have taken
- 15:16that detail and used it to formulate a false confession. Jones is currently still
- 15:22on death row for the murder of Lisa Nichols, and while he's undoubtedly responsible
- 15:26for the murders of Amanda Greenwell and a New Orleans woman named Catherine Collins.
- 15:31He once claimed to have killed at at least twenty one people over one twelve
- 15:35year period, but at least one of his confessions has been proven to be
- 15:39an outright lie, as he also claimed to have been responsible for the nineteen
- 15:43ninety nine disappearances of Laura Bible and Ashley Freeman, a pair of sixteen year
- 15:48old girls from Welch, Oklahoma, who vanished after Ashley's mobile home was burned
- 15:54down and both her parents were shot to death. Jones claimed that he murdered
- 15:58the adults over a drug before he shot the two girls and disposed of their
- 16:02bodies in a mind shaft, but after a search failed to turn up their
- 16:06remains or any evidence to support his story. Well you might already know that
- 16:11a suspect named Ronnie Busick was arrested for the crime in twenty eighteen and pled
- 16:15guilty to accessory to second degree murder, even though the girl's remains have still
- 16:19not been found. It turns out the music and to deceased accomplices Warren Philip
- 16:26Welch and David Pennington were the perpetrators and Jones had nothing to do with it.
- 16:32Once they have nothing left to lose. It's fairly common for convicted murderers
- 16:36to confess to crimes that they did not commit for attention, So this maybe
- 16:41would happen here. And Jones did not kill Patrice Andres. I'm leaning towards
- 16:47he did not. Once you start lying about taking claim for other people's killings,
- 16:51it just shows that you need that attention, that you are seeking some
- 16:56kind of preferential treatment, that you want time out of your cell, that
- 16:59you want to go with police on a wild goose chase. And he seems
- 17:03to have caught the attention to people, and multiple investigations where he's clearly gotten
- 17:07that attention that he was looking for. It's crazy because if you were genuinely
- 17:11trying to help, you would never want to provide false information and lead investigators
- 17:18down the wrong road. You would want to sit back and say, listen,
- 17:19I'm one death row. I have some other families that I know are
- 17:23looking for their loved ones. Here's where they are, and you would help
- 17:26their body be located. In all of these that he claims that he participated
- 17:30in, he was never able to help provide information for a body location,
- 17:33which really does show that he's out for himself and he's out for a number
- 17:40that's going to impress somebody. I don't know who, but that seems to
- 17:42be his motivation. And he always confesses to victims who are missing at that
- 17:48time, so he can say that he did whatever with the remains and they
- 17:51can't really disprove it. But as we've seen with the cases of Laura Bible
- 17:55and Ashley Freeman, and also with Patrese, he wound up giving these stories
- 17:57about disposing of the remains means that were proven to be false. So that
- 18:00has to cause all of his confessions to be put into question. So now
- 18:07let's talk about Gary Michael Hilton. Even though he was originally arrested for the
- 18:11murder of Meredith Emerson and agreed to plead guilty in order to avoid the death
- 18:15penalty. Hilton has since been charged and convicted of three additional murders, which
- 18:21took place in late two thousand and seven an elderly couple named John and Irene
- 18:25Bryant and a nurse named Cheryl Dunlap. The Dunlap murder earned Hilton a trip
- 18:30to death Row, which is where he still resides today, and he's been
- 18:33looked at as a potential suspect in some other cold cases, including the bizarre
- 18:38death of Judy Smith, which has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries The Trail and
- 18:42Cold and The Path Went Chile. As you might recall, Judy Smith vanished
- 18:47during a business trip to Philadelphia in April of nineteen ninety seven, before her
- 18:51skeletal remains were discovered on a mountain in Piscaon National Forest in North Carolina five
- 18:56months later. Obviously, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about how
- 19:00Judy made that six hundred mile trip down there in the first place. But
- 19:04since the murders of John and Irene Bryant also took place in Pisgaw National Forest,
- 19:11there has been speculation that Hilton may have been responsible for Judy's death,
- 19:15though no evidence was found to support this. There are some tentative connections which
- 19:19link Hilton to Patrice Andrs's case, such as the fact that the remains were
- 19:23found in Dawson County, which is where he murdered Meredith Emerson and disposed of
- 19:27her remains. Even though Hilton once made a remark about visiting hair salons to
- 19:33con people out of money, the problem I have with the idea of him
- 19:36abducting Patrise from there is that it's totally different from his mo Hilton's known crimes
- 19:42involve him targeting hikers, which is why he's sometimes been referred to as the
- 19:47quote unquote National Forest serial killer. Furthermore, one thing the murders of Meredith
- 19:52Emerson, Cheryl Dunlap, and the Bryants all had in common is that Hilton
- 19:56installed their ATM cards and attempted to use them to withdraw money. Pateresa's wallet
- 20:03and purse were left behind at the salon, and while it's never been specifically
- 20:06confirmed if she had an ATM card in there, there's no indication that anyone
- 20:11stole her card or attempted to use it once again. In spite of the
- 20:14missing money from the cash register. It's been suspected that Patrese's murder was not
- 20:18financially motivated, and that someone staged to Robberate to cover up a more personal
- 20:23motive for the crime. I wonder if there's anyone who was angry with her
- 20:29about being a competitor in business. Was there anyone who had been trying to
- 20:33let's say, maybe they had misconstrued her friendly, outgoing personality for flirtatious behavior,
- 20:38and they had tried to form a relationship with her that she denied them
- 20:44of because she was a married woman. Was there anyone who wanted to be
- 20:47with Rob, or who was with Rob who then wanted Patrese out of this
- 20:51scenario? Do we know any of those kind of bizarre dynamics that could have
- 20:53been happening. Not really, No, Like, I've never seen any mention
- 20:57of any other potential side who had a personal grudge against her, like anyone
- 21:02who may have wanted to start a relationship with her or acted inappropriate ly in
- 21:07or salon. I haven't heard anything about Rob having another woman on the side
- 21:11who wanted to get Patrise out of the way in order to be with him.
- 21:15So I'm sure that if investigators had found anybody like that in Patrese's personal
- 21:19life, they would have said so publicly. But otherwise it just seems to
- 21:22be nothing. But because she worked on a salon next to a highway,
- 21:26it's possible her killer was just a complete stranger who just happened to stop by
- 21:30there. And with Hilton. Hilton's the one that Rob actually went to this
- 21:36trial, right, that was Jones. The picture, Oh that was in
- 21:38Jones. Okay, that was the one that Jones was convicted of. Okay.
- 21:41It's it's intense when you look at these details of a serial killer who
- 21:45does have this kind of even though his imo of killing people is more with
- 21:51the hikers. When he does mention the hair salons, it makes the hair
- 21:53on your next stand up. But that is just one detail of the crimes
- 21:57he committed. And like you said, he had such specific things he would
- 22:00do with the credit cards, and her credit cards were intact, the cash
- 22:04was missing, so it doesn't really fit the full picture. Similarities but not
- 22:10an exact immou which does call into question is Hilton connected to this? Whatsoever?
- 22:17To this leads us back to Rob Andres, And now we're going to
- 22:19talk about the things which do make him look suspicious. During his Unsolved Mysteries
- 22:25interview, Rob claimed there was no real motive for him to harm Patrese,
- 22:30and since she did not have a life insurance policy, he did not profit
- 22:33financially from her death. But of course, if the rumors are true that
- 22:37the marriage was falling apart and Patrise was planning to divorce Rob, then there's
- 22:42your motive, given his supposedly controlling personality. There's a symbolic creepiness to the
- 22:48fact that Rob was holding onto Patrise's ashes and did not let anyone see them,
- 22:53as if it was his way of saying, if I can't have you,
- 22:56no one else will. Unsolved Mystery did not mention that Patrise left a
- 23:00note on Rob's car before she went to work that morning, and we've only
- 23:04seen that piece of information mentioned in one article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
- 23:11As you might recall, the note read the best is yet to come,
- 23:15and I'd be really curious to know what Patrise meant by that. The note
- 23:18could very well have no relevance to this case at all. But if this
- 23:22was a message in which Patrice was conveying her intention to leave Rob, then
- 23:26this could have been the breaking point which set Rob off and prompted him to
- 23:30abduct her from the salon. While the Unsolved Mysteries episode shared the detail about
- 23:36Patrice's wedding ring never being found, it did not mention that the words Patrice
- 23:41and Rob Forever were inscribed on there. If you believe Rob is guilty in
- 23:45him holding on to the ring after all these years, would totally fit his
- 23:49personality. However, like we mentioned earlier, Rob did recently pass away and
- 23:55we haven't heard anything yet about the ring being found in his possessions. Well,
- 24:00here's my problem with the ring, right, It's very possible that when
- 24:03she was getting robbed and they're taking money from her cash retor or any things
- 24:06like that, they say, take your ring off, I want your ring.
- 24:08It's also possible she was found as a set of skeletal remains. The
- 24:12bones were scattered everywhere. It's possible that that ring was part of her but
- 24:18during the decomposition process, that it fell into the dirt, sand, mud,
- 24:22whatever, and that it simply just wasn't found around her skeletal remains after
- 24:27they were scattered and you know, thrown about. So I don't know that
- 24:32you can read so much into the wedding band. Would it have been powerful
- 24:36if it had been found in his possessions? Yeah, oh my gosh.
- 24:40He would have been most likely guilty because she was wearing it and then it's
- 24:45in his box with her ashes, right. But other than that, I
- 24:48don't know that you can say ring was definitely part of the crime or stolen
- 24:52off her body or something, because her body wasn't intact when I was discovered.
- 24:57Yeah, that is true. I've never thought about it the possibility,
- 25:00but I know that animals can scatter human remains around. I don't know if
- 25:03one of them would take a wedding band and walk off with it, but
- 25:07I guess it is certainly a possibility, and for all we know, it
- 25:10could still be out there somewhere in the woods. But I can't imagine someone
- 25:15trying to steal it if robbery was the motive, because if you try to
- 25:18punt off a wedding ring and it has someone's name inscribed on it, then
- 25:22it's easily going to be traced to you, and a lot of people are
- 25:25going to be reluctant to pay for a ring that has someone else's names on
- 25:27them. I mean We've seen cases where it looks like the most likely outcomes
- 25:33either murder, suicide, or somebody's ended their own life and the gun isn't
- 25:37found at the scene when the remains are found, and it's like, okay,
- 25:41well, animals will scatter remains and that's the whole gun. That's a
- 25:45big thing. A wedding band will be really difficult to find unless you had
- 25:49them like scouring the area with a metal detector on their hands and knees looking
- 25:55for this ring. We just don't really know how in depth the more this
- 26:00ring was. Maybe it was there and they just didn't find it, yeah
- 26:03for sure, Like what if an animal had grabbed her hand, you know,
- 26:07and taken it or her arm or something, and that gets moved and
- 26:11in the process the ring slips off somewhere, or like you said, Jules,
- 26:14they just simply weren't really looking for it. I mean, it's possible
- 26:18they're interviewing the sun three days later and he's like, did you find her
- 26:21wedding ban? She has a wedding band, you know. Or it's possible
- 26:23that they discovered the body and then it's not until an interview two weeks later
- 26:27that someone's like what about her wedding band? It says, you know,
- 26:30Patrese and Rob forever did you find that? And they're going, oh,
- 26:36yeah, we didn't really specifically look for that. The biggest red flag with
- 26:41Rob was his decision to change all the locks on his house and his refusal
- 26:45to allow Pistol inside the very day after Patrese went missing. Rob's rationalization during
- 26:51his Unsolved Mysteries interview about be concerned for both his and pistol safety does not
- 26:56hold water. Even if he had personal issues with pis still and did not
- 27:00want to live with them, at the very least, Rob could have still
- 27:03allowed him to come inside and collect his personal possessions. I mean, Pistol
- 27:07was still a miner at the time, but Rob wouldn't even speak to him
- 27:11or ensure he had another place to stay. It's terrible behavior from a moral
- 27:15standpoint, and it also makes no sense from a logical standpoint. Patrese had
- 27:21only been missing for around twenty four hours before Rob changed the locks, and
- 27:25no one could even be one hundred percent certain she was dead. Why if
- 27:27Patris turned out to be alive and returned home to find out that Rob had
- 27:32kicked out her son and returned home to find out that Rob had kicked her
- 27:36son out of the house. If there weren't already serious issues with their marriage
- 27:40before, that probably would have put the final nail in the coffin, because
- 27:44if there's one thing which Patrice seemed to have zero tolerance for, it was
- 27:47mistreating her son. So you could see Rob's actions as an indication that he
- 27:52knew Patrice was dead and would not be coming back. How much darker interpretation
- 27:56is that Rob did not want anyone else to enter the house because he had
- 28:00incriminating evidence in there, possibly even Patrese's body. Remember, even though Patrese's
- 28:06remains were found in a wooded area, that doesn't necessarily mean they were placed
- 28:10there on the day she disappeared. That is so true. It doesn't mean
- 28:15that that she was placed there immediately. We have cases. I actually just
- 28:18watched a documentary about missing and murdered Indigenous women where for eighteen days a young
- 28:22lady's body wasn't discovered through areas where people were searching in gridlock patterns for her,
- 28:29and then on day eighteen, she's out in the open in you know,
- 28:32a desert like area where you would have seen her body had you walked
- 28:36by Patrese, wasn't you said? She was in a wooded area about six
- 28:40miles away. But still there's no guarantee that she went from that salon to
- 28:45that final resting place. Her body could have easily been put there at any
- 28:48time later within those eighteen months. I mean, in most cases, I
- 28:52wouldn't think that a spouse would keep like the victim's body just hanging around their
- 28:56house. But we talked about on the last episode that Rob shared a store
- 29:00about having to assemble Patrese's remains and kiss her skull and cuddling up with her
- 29:03ashes. So he does seem like a creepy enough guy that after murdering his
- 29:07wife he would keep her body around the house for a couple of weeks before
- 29:11deciding to dispose of it in a wooded area. And I just don't think
- 29:15he realized how tone death that sounds. Given that he's pulling her out of
- 29:19a cardboard box. I do not believe for a second you're cuddling her ashes
- 29:23like a teddy bear, like he'd said, if you're keeping her in a
- 29:26cardboard box, the two things are not in alignment. But if we look
- 29:33back and you look at any of his actions, are any of his actions
- 29:36something that you think anyone with like emotional sound faculties to themselves would do,
- 29:41Because let's say you're guilty as heck, let's say you're glad Patrese is gone,
- 29:45you still have to pretend like you're not. And there aren't many actions
- 29:49by Rob that actually protect his facade when you look at the callous notions towards
- 29:55the towards the sun, when you look at changing the locks, when you
- 29:57look at this idea of you know, she's in the cardboard box and he
- 30:00had to go assemble her body and hold the skull and kiss it, and
- 30:04something seems off incredibly bizarre. Yeah, I feel like he's definitely dealing with
- 30:12a mental health condition or a personality disorder, because it's it's just not connecting,
- 30:19it's not computing. He doesn't seem to be able to anticipate how others
- 30:23will react to his actions, and we see that as a pervasive pattern throughout
- 30:29and that doesn't seem indicative of somebody who seems to be incredibly self aware of
- 30:33how his actions affect other people. And so the question is is this guy
- 30:37just an asshole? Or is he an asshole who murdered his wife or is
- 30:44he just a really sick person somebody who's struggling with some undiagnosed thing. Because
- 30:48then, remember, guys, he also goes and he does, he searches,
- 30:52he offers a reward, He goes and stands at a trial saying justice
- 30:56for his wife. Like there's also these other things where he's doing what you
- 31:00would expect, but he's also doing nothing to protect his own character. He's
- 31:06doing some things for Patrise, but never once do you see him really even
- 31:11trying to fake out police or the community. That he's this upstanding man and
- 31:15you would think he'd do something like you think there'd be some notions of,
- 31:18well we saw this, but not this, and you know, he did
- 31:22these things that were loving and not these things. It's just a very confusing
- 31:26look at human behavior when you study Rob specifically and Robin. Wasn't it true
- 31:33that the Unsolved Mysteries producer I think her name is Mirror, that she believed
- 31:37wholeheartedly that he was innocent and she was really upset about the way social media
- 31:42reacted to Rob after the episode aired. She didn't say that she thought he
- 31:48was innocent, but she thought he came across well when they showed up to
- 31:51interview him, like they said that even though he acted oddly, she thought
- 31:55he was sincere when he was speaking, and she thought that he genuinely loved
- 31:57Patrise, and he sounded like he was remarried and had moved on with his
- 32:00life. And I think she was just shocked that people watched his interview and
- 32:05just thought he was a real creep, because, I mean, you go
- 32:07to online discussions, I'd say that like ninety five percent of the people out
- 32:10there automatically assume that he's guilty based on the interview. They don't really look
- 32:15at the evidence. And it's quite a contrast because I know that her husband,
- 32:21the co creative of Unsaw Mysteries, John Cosgrove. He says that this
- 32:24is a sharp contrast to Jewel Kaylor's infamous interview where he's saying that, oh,
- 32:30it's just thought he disappeared and things are really pretty good, and Jewel
- 32:32has an attorney in his room yelling cut cut, don't say that, why
- 32:36are you saying that? And it doesn't sound like it's anything like that with
- 32:39Rob. I don't think he had an attorney in his room. He just
- 32:42gave this sincere interview where he sounded like he was really sincere about missing his
- 32:45wife and just did not give off the vibe that he killed her. And
- 32:50we have to remember that Rob had an alibi, So I'm sure that they
- 32:53looked at his financials. If we're to believe that this was a murder for
- 32:57hire, wouldn't there be some kind of finalinantial trail left behind? Yeah,
- 33:02exactly like the I know we're going to talk about this in a moment,
- 33:05but there's an investigator on Unsolved Mysteries who kind of gave a quote about that
- 33:08and implied that they just found no evidence to indicate that he had paid someone
- 33:13to kill his wife. However, let's look at the logistics of Rob being
- 33:17able to commit this crime. Here's an actual quote from one of the investigators
- 33:22interviewed on Unsolved Mysteries when discussing Rob's viability as a suspect. Quote, Rob
- 33:28Andres was thoroughly investigated, and we created a timeline for him that doesn't eliminate
- 33:32him from being able to do this, but greatly reduces the chances that he
- 33:37could have done this. He doesn't eliminate a murder for hire, but it
- 33:40just doesn't seem probable. We've uncovered nothing that suggests that at this point end
- 33:45quote. The only specific information we know about Rob's alibi was provided by Rob
- 33:52himself during his own interview, where he mentions having a time stamped receipt which
- 33:57shows him getting gas in the town of Woodstock, and that a turnstile recorded
- 34:00the exact time he arrived at work. Rob states that this would have made
- 34:06it physically impossible for him to commit this crime, but since he hasn't been
- 34:09completely eliminated as a suspect, I'm guessing it's more improbable that he did it
- 34:15rather than outright impossible. Newspaper articles have stated that Rob worked a second shift
- 34:22as a maintenance supervisor in Conyers, though they did not name the actual workplace.
- 34:27It's also never been mentioned what exact time Rob logged in. But Conyers
- 34:31is located nearly seventy miles southeast of Patresea's salon. But I'm very curious about
- 34:37Rob's claim that he got gas in Woodstock. Woodstock is a forty five minute
- 34:43drive away from the salon, but it's also about an hour's drive northwest from
- 34:46Conyers. In other words, Woodstock is definitely not on the same route from
- 34:51Rob's home to his workplace and would have required him to drive several miles out
- 34:55of his way to get gas. I mean, I guess Rob may have
- 34:59had a reasons for traveling to Woodstock that day before he went to work as
- 35:02shift in Conyers, and I'm sure investigators probably looked into this. Whatever the
- 35:07case, it's hard to imagine Rob abducting and murdering Patrice, dumping her body
- 35:12in Dawson County, and then driving seventy miles to work a shift as normal
- 35:16without raising any red flags that something was wrong. Remember, the police have
- 35:22all this information too, so like you said, some of these things aren't
- 35:25lining up. They've said they can't rule him out, but it makes it
- 35:28more complex to have him be their main suspect. It also isn't possible for
- 35:32them to rule out a murder for hire. But one of the things I'm
- 35:36dying to know and we never will maybe is what was the condition of her
- 35:40skeletal remains, What were the injuries to her body? They have to know
- 35:45something because they are not releasing a cause of death. They're not releasing details
- 35:52from her body to the public, which means either in my mind, there
- 35:57was a injury to the bones that could have possibly been self inflicted or could
- 36:01have been inflicted by someone else. If it was a clear suicide, I
- 36:06think they would have said if it was a clear murder, I think they
- 36:08would have said if it was clear that she had died from the elements,
- 36:12maybe stumbled around and got hypothermia, or you know, was out there and
- 36:16just couldn't find her way back as of some mental issue, then I think
- 36:21they would have said that. I believe there is a questionable finding when her
- 36:25body's discovered that they're leaning towards a murder. Their questioning is this possibly a
- 36:30self inflicted wound, and that's why they're not ruling murder, suicide, accident
- 36:37undetermined. Something with her skeletal remains tells them some information that they aren't quite
- 36:43able to interpret one hundred percent. Yeah, Like it've never flat out said
- 36:46that they consider it to be a suicide or some unexplained death. I mean,
- 36:51they pretty much seem to be leaning towards it being a murder, but
- 36:53it isn't a case though, like where they say that we found the remains,
- 36:57but we couldn't determine how the victim died. They definitely did find something
- 37:00to make them think that they know how she died, but they're just withholding
- 37:05that from the public and likely to read out false confessions from people like Jeremy
- 37:08Jones. The biggest piece of evidence which leans away from Rob being the perpetrator
- 37:14are the two eye witnesses who saw Patre standing next to a completely different individual
- 37:19and a blue car outside the salon. If Rob did it himself, then
- 37:22this means he would have had to show up almost immediately after this other person
- 37:27left, and he managed to abduct Patrice before her next customer arrived at the
- 37:30salon and noticed she was missing. That doesn't seem probable, So if Rob
- 37:35is guilty, then the only scenario which makes sense is if he hired the
- 37:38individual with the blue car to kill Patrice. Rob's detourt a Woodstock could be
- 37:44interpreted as him taking additional steps to place himself at a faraway location and fabricate
- 37:50an alibi. During his Unsolved Mysteries interview, Rob even made a remark about
- 37:53how he studied criminology, which some people have taken as a sign that he
- 37:58was using this knowledge to play out the perfect murder. However, if this
- 38:01was a murder for higher plot. Investigators have stated that they've been unable to
- 38:06find anything pointing in that direction, such as a large sum of money being
- 38:09withdrawn from Rob's bank account during this time period, which he could have used
- 38:14to pay the killer. Indeed, it seems very brazen that Rob would arrange
- 38:17for someone to abduct Patrese from the salon during the middle of the day,
- 38:22unless the perpetrator was watching the place for a couple hours that morning. It
- 38:25seems like they got incredibly lucky to be able to pick out a window of
- 38:30time when Patrise did not have any customers and was alone. I guess it's
- 38:34possible that Rob could have seen Patrice's appointment book and known she did not have
- 38:37any appointment schedule between eleven thirty and twelve o'clock. But that sort of thing
- 38:43can change at any time, and given that this was a public place next
- 38:46to a highway, there's always the risk of someone stopping by. I think
- 38:51it has to be more random than that. I don't think it could be
- 38:53planned to that extent, because how do you know that that customer at eleven
- 38:57thirty is leaving at eleven thirty, the customer coming at twelve isn't coming at
- 39:00eleven thirty and waiting for their appointment. So it's very difficult to think that
- 39:07Rob sat there and said, she's got this thirty minute gap, this is
- 39:08the time that I want you to pull the trigger and get her. I
- 39:12do think it's possible someone random watched and watched as only one car was left
- 39:15in the parking lot. I also think it's possible that someone just pulled up
- 39:20at the exact right time and there wasn't anybody at the Salam, which is
- 39:23why they then acted by robbing her, getting her in the car, fussing
- 39:28with her out in the parking lot. All of that is a very strong
- 39:30possibility for a random nature of this crime. But it is during the middle
- 39:36of the day in a busy place, so brazen. That might make more
- 39:40sense of why it could have been two people. It would be easier to
- 39:44subdue and control her and manipulate her if you have a trusting looking woman start
- 39:50the whole act, and then you have the man follow through and get her
- 39:53into the vehicle. I agree, I think there's a very strong likelihood that
- 39:59this could have been random. I just don't feel like there's enough year to
- 40:02support that Rob is involved, aside from Rob behaving in a way that seems
- 40:07to lack compassion and empathy and is just outright odd, but that doesn't necessarily
- 40:13make him a killer. And we've got no evidence to support anything that was
- 40:16related to murder for hire, and I think just the chaotic nature of the
- 40:21scene seems like it was random. But yes, there was likely two perpetrators,
- 40:25so I'm in agreement with you there. Ash. Look, I know
- 40:30that Rob Andres became one of the most hated people on the Internet in twenty
- 40:34twenty, and there are some good reasons for that, but given the circumstances,
- 40:38it's hard to say with one hundred percent certainty that he was involved in
- 40:43this crime. If Rob was involved, he seemed to do a very effective
- 40:46job at covering his tracks, and since he just passed away, a murder
- 40:51for higher scenario might be the only way to figure out what exactly happened.
- 40:55The advances in DNA testing and genetic genealogy have made it possible to solve cold
- 41:01cases and conclusively link them to suspects even after they're already deceased. But the
- 41:07problem is there is no DNA evidence to work with in this case, if
- 41:13Rob did this alone, then he took all his secrets to the grave.
- 41:15But if he hired someone to kill Patrese, then that person may still be
- 41:20out there and can face justice. But on the other hand, this begs
- 41:23the question, if Rob didn't do it, then who actually did. I
- 41:28feel like it's a stranger who had either scoped out her salon before or who
- 41:35was watching her from afar and looking at her habit. It seems too odd
- 41:40for Rob to have been able to pull this off. He doesn't seem highly
- 41:44intelligent or very aware. He doesn't seem to try to pull any stunt to
- 41:50actually make himself look good or have a story that convinces him something else could
- 41:55have happened to her. I mean, he just seems to be aloof and
- 41:59float along and makes real poor personal decisions along the way. But I don't
- 42:02know that he's well versed enough to actually nail down this thirteen minute murder for
- 42:07higher window and or do it himself. It just doesn't seem probable. I
- 42:13also think the serial killer links. By the time someone's on death row,
- 42:16if they really had could contributed to these murders, would they be talking and
- 42:22telling the truth if they're willing to talk about all these other cases. I'm
- 42:25thinking more random. I'm thinking someone got away with it and we just don't
- 42:30know who they were to hold them accountable. Well, I've always wondered if
- 42:35we should place some significance on the location where Patrice's remains were found. That
- 42:39wooded area was very rough to rain, and it would have been difficult to
- 42:43transport a body through there, which is why investigators push forward the possibility that
- 42:47the perpetrator forced Patrise to walk into the woods before they killed her. Rob
- 42:52even made an odd remark during his interview about someone using a wheelbarrow to transport
- 42:57her body, which struck many people as strangely specific, though it could just
- 43:00be him proposing a hypothetical scenario. Since the perpetrator selected a location behind the
- 43:07Lebanon Baptist Church, you also have to wonder if they were a local who
- 43:10was familiar with the area. I personally lean away from the idea of Patrice
- 43:15being abducted by an opportunistic serial killer who has just passing through the area,
- 43:20like Jeremy Jones or Gary Michael Hilton, but I have to wonder if it
- 43:23was an individual who had been inside the salon before and was familiar with the
- 43:27layout and may have even known Patrice personally. A theory I've always found intriguing
- 43:32is that it could have been a spouse or someone associated with Patrice's regular customers
- 43:37who developed a fixation on her. They may not have been planning to kill
- 43:40Patrice that day and only showed up at the salon with the intention of making
- 43:45advances towards her, but when she rejected them, things escalated into violence.
- 43:50But let's not forget that one of the witnesses was certain that she saw Patrice
- 43:52and an older woman putting their hands on each other, So if the perpetrator
- 43:57was female, then that points to this crime being motivated by some sort of
- 44:00personal grudge. However, if any women ever popped up on the radar as
- 44:06potential suspects, investigators have not said so. Until the person or the blue
- 44:09vehicle seen outside the salon that day can be identified, the actual truth about
- 44:15what happened to Patrice will be based on nothing more than speculation anyway. Ever,
- 44:20since this case was featured on Unsolved Mysteries, it sounds like new tips
- 44:23have poured in, so hopefully maybe this will lead to a resolution. Someday,
- 44:29if you happen to have any information on the murder of Patrise Andris Lee's,
- 44:32contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation tip line at one eight hundred five nine
- 44:37seven eight four seven seven. That's one eight hundred five nine seven eight four
- 44:42seven seven, Jules Ashley. Any final thoughts on this case. This one
- 44:47is scary to think about. You have a woman who was a mother and
- 44:52a wife and a business owner, and she's in a very populated busy area
- 44:58doing her daily routine, showing up to work, helping her clients, putting
- 45:01her lunch by the microwave, She's made a rock and roll, and all
- 45:05of a sudden, you have a thirteen minute window between one customer and the
- 45:08next coming in and she's vanished. There are some very bizarre behavior by her
- 45:14husband. There is some very traumatic and pitiful behavior towards her son who has
- 45:22is grieving his missing and then murdered mother. And then we find her body
- 45:25as skeletal remains eighteen months later, and we don't know much information beyond that.
- 45:30People have come forward with false leads, they've come forward with false confessions.
- 45:35You even have people who like you, guys told me are targeting Rob
- 45:38being the main suspect, while other people say, I mean, how it's
- 45:44very rare. I don't see it. I think he's genuine. So this
- 45:47case is riddled with distractions. It's riddled with confusion and a lack of information.
- 45:54Even the eyewitnesses contradict one another, or at least aren't provided the full
- 46:00picture if they are both accurate. So it's a sad case. It's one
- 46:05that I think if this really was at random killing, there is still potential
- 46:09for justice. It takes one relationship to change, one breakup, one wrong
- 46:15business transaction for someone to say, ha, my friend told me that he
- 46:17killed her. I know what happened. This is who it was. So
- 46:22I'm praying for Pistol's sake, I'm praying for her family's sake that all this
- 46:25attention does bring resolution. But at the end of the day, I'm praying
- 46:30that Pistol's doing phenomenal and that he knows how loved he was by his mother,
- 46:34who would put him before her marriage. It sounds like fight for what
- 46:37was best for him and would have been appalled by the way he was treated.
- 46:40Even if Rob's not held responsible. Yeah, my heart really breaks for
- 46:45pistol. I feel like he's such a victim in this, and we've got
- 46:49to remember that he was a miner when his mother disappeared. Patrice went missing,
- 46:53and he gets locked out of the place that he calls home. He
- 46:57doesn't have access to his possessions, and Rob, who would have been his
- 47:00guardian, did not make arrangements for him. That is like piling trauma on
- 47:04top of trauma. And I can understand why. Like Robin had mentioned earlier,
- 47:08ninety five percent of the Internet thinks that Rob did this. I personally
- 47:13don't agree. I do agree with Ash and that I think it's more of
- 47:15a red herring. I think that his behavior is very atypical and it seems
- 47:20completely out of touch, and he does these bizarre things. But I think
- 47:23it's more indicative of somebody who's suffering from a mental health condition or a personality
- 47:29disorder, rather than somebody who killed his wife. Because when it comes down
- 47:32to it, we just don't have the evidence to support that he did this.
- 47:37The only way that he would have likely that would have been probable,
- 47:39would be a murder for hire. It seemed like his alibi made it very
- 47:44unlikely that he could have done this, and then when we look at the
- 47:46eyewitness testimony, both eyewitnesses described somebody that looks nothing like rob who was bald.
- 47:52It was somebody with long hair, whether a woman or a man.
- 47:57I agree with Ashley that I think it's most likely a random person. This
- 48:00was a major highway, so wasn't it Root six Robin. It was Georgia
- 48:07State Route three sixty nine, Georgia Route three sixty nine, so this is
- 48:12a major highway and there could have been any number of people who were opportunistic.
- 48:17We don't know if robbery would have been the motive or it could have
- 48:21just been a stage robbery in order to cover up another motive. And if
- 48:23you're going to steal a woman in the middle of the day and you don't
- 48:28know her, then the most likely other motive is a sexually based one.
- 48:31But like I mentioned earlier, we just we are never going to have the
- 48:36answers there because we don't have any DNA and we didn't have a full physical
- 48:39body. We only had the skeletal remains. It's just my heart breaks for
- 48:44Pateresa's family. I'm just so happy that they got her remains back and that
- 48:49her ashes can be where they belong in outside of Rob's possession. Yeah.
- 48:53I still remember when the Unsolved Mysteries episode about this dropt three and a half
- 48:58years ago, and the Internet just exploded with the reaction to Rob Andris Unsolved
- 49:02Mysteries. Fans were saying that, oh my god, he's the creepiest,
- 49:05guiltiest husband since Julie Kaylor. But then you look at the evidence and you're
- 49:08like, yeah, he acted terrible in his interview, But the investigators who
- 49:14were interviewed, who were interviewed on the segment flat out said that they don't
- 49:16seem to lean towards him doing it this, like they haven't eliminated him as
- 49:21a suspect, but it just kind of seems physically improbable that he could have
- 49:23done it, and there's no evidence of a murder for hire. And I
- 49:28think that if he wanted to kill Patrise, if he had a motive,
- 49:30if she was planning to divorce him, he would get rid of her in
- 49:34a much less risky fashion rather than having her abducted from her salon in broad
- 49:38daylight when any witnesses could have come in and seen it. So I definitely
- 49:43know overall leaned towards her being the victim of a random attack. I don't
- 49:46know if it was a stranger. It could have been someone who had a
- 49:50personal grudge with Patrese or someone who had a fixation on her. Perhaps there
- 49:53was a creepy man who liked to come in there and hit on her,
- 49:57and she just never told anyone about it, so that when she when this
- 50:00person killed her, no one looked at this individual as a potential suspect.
- 50:05But like I said, I do think that the hatred towards Rob has money
- 50:08the case a bit. I know he did some despicable things by holding on
- 50:14to Patresea's ashes, and if there's a bright spot to him passing away,
- 50:17at least Patrese's family, particularly Pistol, has got her ashes back, so
- 50:22there's some sort of closure for them, even if they don't actually find out
- 50:24who killed her. I know that law enforcement probably has a lot more information
- 50:30about this case, and they've released publicly such as the cause of death,
- 50:32so I would be interested to know if they have any other suspects in mind
- 50:37besides Rob. But if she was the victim of a random perpetrator just passing
- 50:40through the area, then it will make it more difficult to solve, and
- 50:45it might just be a matter of the right person coming forward with information.
- 50:47Maybe someone has openly bragged about this to someone, and if this information has
- 50:52passed on the law enforcement, maybe this will finally put this individual on the
- 50:57radar and finally get them charged with the murder. Well, then I'm hoping
- 51:00that we finally get a resolution in this case. Robin, do you want
