  Speaker 1: Whatever they ask, because it really really helps our shows
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: get noticed and into the algorithm that we don't understand.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So, and it's free.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Did I mention it's free? I love free stuff.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Now today's cases come right out of the state of Idaho. So.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Idaho is a largely rural state in the northwestern United States,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: known for its wide open landscapes, mountain ranges, and deep
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: river canyons. It's beautiful there. I would love to go
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to Idaho. I'm not big into wilderness stuff, but it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: looks very pretty.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Much of the state is made up of forests, farmlands,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and small communities, with major rivers like the Snake River
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: running through its valleys and shaping both its geography and economy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Agriculture also plays a major role in Idaho's identity, particularly
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: potato farming. We do call it the potato state if
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you're not from the US. But the state is also
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: known for outdoor recreation, including fishing, hiking, and skiing. Now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: while Idaho's population is relatively small compared to many states,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: its communities are spread across vast areas, which can sometimes
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure it does make investigations and search efforts
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: more challenging when someone goes missing, as well as very dangerous.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Currently, there are still sixteen people that went missing last
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: year that are still listed as missing in Idaho, with
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one total still listed as missing today.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: While that number doesn't seem large, even one person missing
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is a big deal, and every single one of these
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: missing people had families who want and need answers. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: our first case of the day is Zachary Brewer. So
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Zachary Brewer, known to his friends and families as Zach,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was born on May twentieth, nineteen ninety three, making him
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: just sixteen years old when he vanished on August twenty second,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Oh what a young little baby
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he is. Oh, that's so sad. Now. He is a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: white male with blonde hair and green or hazel eyes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Zach stood between five foot ten inches and five feet
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: eleven inches tall and weighed about one hundred and sixty
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: five pounds. He is right handed and has scars on
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: his arms, and he was last seen wearing a brown
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: striped jacket with a fur trimmed hood, a white T shirt,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and blue jeans.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He lived with his mom, Corey in Neopa, Idaho, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is about twenty five minutes outside of Boise. But for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: several months before his disappearance, Zach had been staying with
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a family friend, Javier Gillian Aguilar. Now, shortly after midnight,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he showed up at his mother's home and spoke with her,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and she said something seemed to be bothering him, but
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he didn't share with her what it was, and then
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he walked off and she never saw him again. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that was the last confirmed time that anybody saw him. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in July two thousand and nine, about a month before
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Zach went missing, Aguilar, the guy Zach had been staying with,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: was charged with three counts of lewd conduct on a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: child under the age of sixteen. Yeah, the victims were
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: three boys between six and ten years old who were
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: abused between two thousand and two thousand and five.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I do not like.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: This story at all.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Now, Zach had provided police with evidence against Aguilar. Oh,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and in February twenty ten, investigators issued a material witness
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: warrant for Zach, but police were never able to locate him.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: What did they not check and see that he had
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: been missing for several months? Okay, all right, calm down, mama,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We're not here to rent, not for this one now.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Later in twenty ten, Aguilar was convicted of the charges
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: against him and sentenced to twenty one years in prison.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Good authority said he had been active in youth sports
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in the local area because they always always seemed to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: be humh and believed he had at least three or
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: four additional victims beyond the ones involved in the charges.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assumption.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Angular died in prison in twenty fourteen, and over the years,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: investigators have received multiple reported sightings of Zach Brewer from
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: locations across the United States and even from Mexico. None
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of these reports, though, have led to Zach being located
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: or any tangible leads. Now, authorities believe Zachary left on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his own accord. I don't know why they believe that,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: but okay, however, maybe from his mom's house, but I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: don't think from like the public. But okay, however, because
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: no one has seen or heard from him since the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: day he disappeared, there is concern for his safety. How
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: about the fact that he was staying with a child predator,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Just just saying, I think that's who he was supposed
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to be a witness against. I think that there's definitely
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: more to this case than oh he his safety might
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: be a problem. Oh well, that's that's really unfortunate story,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: especially since Aguilar's is dead. Oh well, let's not give
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: up hope. That is something that Terry always says. A
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: lot of people always assume the worst, but hope is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: still there. And if you have any information about the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: disappearance of Zachared Zach Brewer, please contact the Nampa Police
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Department at two zero eight four six eight five six
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: zero zero, because someone out there knows something. And even
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: if you think it's not something that's a big deal,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it could be the biggest deal in the case.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: You just never know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So if you know anything at all about him or
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: even agular, I would be calling that number. I'm sure
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: if you look on their website, they probably have like
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: an email that you could send anonymous tips to as
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: well if you don't want to be identified. Oh that's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: so sad, that poor boy. Now, if you know of
• 9:03

  Speaker 1: know what we can do to help find your family
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: or loved one. Now, the next case is Thomas Randall
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Hedgecock now Thomas Randall Hedgecock, known to many as Randy,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was born on September twenty fourth, nineteen fifty two, making
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: him fifty one years old when he disappeared on May
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth, two thousand and four. Now, at the time
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of his disappearance, as we said, he was fifty one
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: years old. He's a white male with blonde hair and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: hazel eyes. Thomas stood approximately five foot seven inches tall
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and weighed about two hundred and twenty pounds. Now, what
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: began as a normal night quickly turned into a mystery
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that has remained unsolved for more than two decades, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: his family is still searching for answers now. On the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: meaning evening of May twenty fourth, two thousand and four,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Hedgecock was at his home in Filer, Ohio or Idaho.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Sorry I'm from Ohio, Idaho. At approximately ten thirty pm.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He left his house to attend a barbecue, and he
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: never returned home. When he did not come back, concern
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: began to grow among those who knew him, and authorities
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: have noted that Hedgecock was in need of medication and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: there was caution to be Caution was advised when approaching him.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: A week later, on May thirty first, two thousand and four,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: investigators located Hedgecock's vehicle. His beaiji in brown nineteen eighty
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: two Dodge pickup truck was found wrecked about sixty five
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: feet down in embankment between Filer and Window, Idaho Now.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The truck was located approximately twenty five feet from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: edge of the Snake River. The vehicle had been badly damaged,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and however, investigators reported that there was no evidence indicating
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the driver had been seriously injured, as there was no
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: blood in the vehicle, which is that's wild to me.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: A sixty five foot down embankment wow. But also just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: because there's no blood doesn't mean you couldn't have serious
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: internal injuries, especially to the head. Now, there was also
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: no sign of Hedgecock at the scene and no blood
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: or footprints on the ground around the vehicle. Following the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: discovery of the truck, Twin Falls County search and rescue
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: teams launched an extensive search of the area. Helicopters were
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: used to search from the air, and divers searched the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: waters nearby. And as we said in our opening of Idaho,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Idaho is just so vast in the wilderness and searching
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for people is very difficult. I mean there's numerous cases
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: where places have been searched and then years later it
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: turns out that the victim was just ten twenty feet
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: or in the area that they searched. That's just how
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the difficult nature it can be to find someone. And
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: despite those efforts, no trace of Hedgecock was found. No
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: authorities have stated that they believe Hedgecock may have been
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the victim of a homicide, which is interesting. I wonder
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: why they think that if there was no blood in
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the truck and they think it was an accident. Interesting
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: now they think it's a homicide. But his body has
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: never been recovered. Now Thomas's mother ough, he's always breaking
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: my heart. The families have to deal with this, especially
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the moms. I can't imagine being a mom and this
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: happening to my child. Even if they're grown at fifty
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: years old, They're still your babies.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Thomas's mother, Billy An Hedgecock, has continued searching for answers
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: in the years since he disappeared from her home in Florida,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: which is about as far away as from Idaho as
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you can get. She calls the detective at the Twin
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Falls Sheriff's office each month asking about the case. Good
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for you, Billy Anne, do not give up. She has
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: said she does not believe her son would have left voluntarily.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Billy said that they were very close and she believes
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he would have contacted her if he were able. Because
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he has not reached out, she sadly believes that he
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is not alive. But if you have any information about
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the disappearance of Thomas Randall Hedgecock also goes by Randy,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: please contact the Filer Police Department at two zero eight
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: seven three five nine one one. Well, I want to
• 14:49
