  Speaker 1: get into today's cases. So today we will be covering
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a case that, I mean has left so many people baffled,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the family, law enforcement, the community, and they have been
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: searching for answers for over a decade. Okay, guys, a decade.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: This is the story of Bryce David Lesbisa. He is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a nineteen year old college student who vanished without a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: trace in August twenty thirteen. And guys, Bryce was just
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: like any other young man. He had recently started his
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sophomore year at Sierra College in Northern California, and he
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was returning home to visit his family in Orange County.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But that trip, which should have been a routine four
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: hundred mile drive, ended in a mystery. And for those
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of you that don't know California, northern California to get
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to Orange County, that is over in southern cal So
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So cal so it's quite a drive now. On August twelfth,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Bryce called his mother Karen around two am,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: telling her he was too exhausted to continue driving and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he planned to pull over and rest. Now, like any family,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they worried about this, but they also trusted his judgment
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and they just waited for a call from him to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: say he was on his way. He had gotten some
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: breast and he was hitting the road. But guys, instead
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of a hearing from Bryce, authorities found Bryce's car hours later.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It had been abandoned and it was crashed at the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bottom of a roof near Castaic Lake in California. Now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all of Bryce's personal belongings, including his phone, wallet, and laptop,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: were inside. There were no signs of Bryce. Guys, what
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: happened to Bryce? I mean, I can't help but think
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: how did he go from a typical college student driving
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: home to just completely disappearing in the span of just
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a few hours.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Bryce was last seen wearing white cargo shorts, a blue
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and white checkered shirt, and red and white Nike shoes.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He said about five eleven and he weighed about one
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy pounds, and he had striking red hair,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He was a cute little ginger and blue eyes, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he had a distinct tattoo of a tourist bullhead on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: his left shoulder. Now, like I said, his disappearance has
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: left everyone with more questions than answers, And despite a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: massive search effort, including aerial sweeps and ground searches around
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Castaic Lake, no significant leads have emerged. And a decade later,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Bryce's case remains open and there's no signs of foul play,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But there's also no signs of Bryce. Now, what was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: going on in Bryce's life leading up to his disappearance.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Friends did say they noted changes in his behavior in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the weeks prior. He had recently broken up with his girlfriend,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and he began giving away personal items, And these are
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: actions that concerned his loved ones and left people questioning
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was he simply a young man under pressure or were
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: those red flags any of us that have.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Been young and in love. You know, when you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Get your heart broken, you go through a period of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: time of being depressed and you just act out different.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Can't say it ever gave away personal items, So I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: wonder where those personal items, things that maybe the girlfriend
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: gave him and he just wanted to get rid of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: them so he didn't have to look at him.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Like I said, his last known communication was with his mother,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and Guys, that's one of the more chilling aspects of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this case because Bryce told his mom he was pulling
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: over to sleep, but yet hours later his car is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: found crashed, overturned, and no signs of him. So I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think the question remains, did Bryce walk away from the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: crash on his own, did he meet with foul play,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: or did he intentionally vanish because he wanted to disappear? Now,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: this story is tragic, not only for the mystery that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: surrounds Bryce's disappearance, but also with a heartache that his
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: family continues to endure. His mother, Karen, has publicly expressed
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: how desperately she wants answers. Now authorities lean toward the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: theory that Bryce may have wanted to disappear, his mother,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Karen refuses to give up hope, and Bryce's family has
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: been tireless in their search, using social media in every
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: available resource to keep his story in the public eye.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: They even maintain a Facebook page and they give updates
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So find Bryce las pisa Is on Facebook, and they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: are looking together any new information to help find Bryce.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So let's keep Bryce's name in store glory out there.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: His family deserves answers, and Bryce serves to come home.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And if Bryce did go missing on his own, his
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: parents and his family a loved one want him to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: know they love him. They want him to come home.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask questions. They just want him home.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So if you have any information about Bryce David Lasbisa,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: no matter how small or insignificant may seem, please contact
• 10:32

• 10:52
  Speaker 1: case is heart wrenching but also makes me furious. Okay,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just warn you. I will try to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: not give any rants, Okay. So. Vivian Eileen Trout is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a two year old girl who went missing from Miami Beach, Florida,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on April sixth, nineteen ninety seven. And guys, this is
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a story of a family that has been torn apart,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and also a story about a father's decade long search
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: for his daughter. And it's a case that still haunts
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: investigators to this day. Vivian was effectually known as Mimi
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to her family and friends, and she was just two
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: years old when she disappeared. She was a tiny girl
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was a wee
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: thing at two foot nine and weighed about thirty three
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and she had a bright smile, her large dimples always
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: visible when she grinned in a birthmark on her left hip.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: She had pierced ears, and she spoke English fluently, understanding
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: some Spanish guys.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Just look at that picture of her.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: What a cutie pie. But on April sixth, nineteen ninety seven,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Vivian's life changed forever, along with her families. Vivian was
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: abducted by her non custodial mother, Marina Trout, during what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a supervised visit. You heard me right, supervised.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So Marina is a woman with a troubled history and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: she was only allowed limited monitored time with her daughter,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: but she managed to take advantage of a five minute
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: lapse in supervision to escape with Vivian. And here's what
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we know so far. The day was like any other.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Vivian was scheduled to spend a supervised visit with her mother, Marina,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in the one thousand block of Lennox Avenue in Miami Beach.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Marina had a history of previous abduction attempts. You heard
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: me right, previous abduction attempts, and as a result, she
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: was only permitted supervised visits with her daughter. But guys,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: on that fateful afternoon, Marina was given an opportunity, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: she took it. Just five minutes into the visit, when
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the supervisor briefly left to use the bathroom, she left
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Marina alone with Vivian. Marina acted. She locked the supervisor
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: inside the room, fled with her daughter, and disappeared. Okay, guys,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I told you I was going to try not to rant.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Supervised visitation means the child never is out of your sight.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: If you have to go to the restroom, the child
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: goes with you in a different stall, or you go
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: into a restroom with the door locked, or you do something,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: but you do not take your eyes off that child.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Five minutes and this woman abducted her child. And by
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the time the supervisor managed to pry open a window
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and call for help, Marina and Vivian were gone. The
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: police were called immediately and a search began, but no one,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: not Marina's mother nor any of Marina's acquaintances, claimed no
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: where she or Vivian have gone. Guys, I mean, I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: am sure that supervisor feels awful. Okay, And maybe the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: laws were different back then, and maybe the rules where oh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you're in the same building.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you supervised means you do not
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: take your eyes off the child. Now, this investigation has
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: spanned more than two decades. It has gone from Miami
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Beach to Mexico, California, New York and beyond. Now, John Trout,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Vivian's father, has tiresly searched for his daughter ever since
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that day in nineteen ninety seven. Guys, I want you
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to stop and think about the heartbreak this man. He
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: trusted the system. This is a woman who had previous
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: failed abduction attempts. She was given five minutes. It didn't
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: take that long. Two minutes, she was out of there. Now,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: John criticizes the government for what he calls a mishandling
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of the case, and at one point he even accused
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: him of losing his daughter's case file. Okay, he says
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: copies of that file were stolen from his home during
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a burglary, and no other items were taken. So John,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I am on your side, and I think you have
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: every right to be furious, and I hope you sued
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: whoever was in charge of that supervision, whatever agency it was,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: because they did not do their job. Now, authorities believe
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Marina may have fled with Vivian to another country, possibly Mexico, Spain,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: or Costa Rica. Now there's also been rumors that she
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: may have connections in South America. Marina, who's forty three
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: years old at the time of the adduction, guy's very
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: distinct feature. She has a glass right eye and spoke
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: fluent English with a very heavy Spanish accent. She also
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: has used multiple aliases, including Juana Marina Lopez, Marina Savon,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Marina Lopez Trout. Now, the possibilities of where Marina and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Vivian could be are endless, but even after all these years,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: John believes his daughter is still out there somewhere.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find why, but Texas authorities have also joined
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the investigation in hopes of bringing Vivian home, and guys
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: for John Trout imagine the pain of losing his daughter,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: how unbearable. Here he had custody of her, was protecting her,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and he trusted whatever government agency court appointed supervisor. He
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: trusted them, and they failed. He has spoken out publicly
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: sharing his frustration with how the case has been handled.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: He has spent over twenty five years searching and hoping
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: for a miracle, and yet, guys, nothing. Vivian would now
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: be thirty years old, and she too may go by
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: several aliases, maybe Mimi Lopez, Mimi Garza, Margarita or Teco
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: or Vivian Lopez Garcia. Now he continues to ask the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: public for help in locating Vivian. He believes someone, someone
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: knows where she is and that person holds the key
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to reuniting them. And he clings to hope, hoping that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Vivian one day will hear her story, see her father's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: tireless efforts, and come home. Guys, I also hope he
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: or someone in the family has done a twenty three
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and me and ancestry dot com, because have we asked
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: swe for herd before people can find their loved ones
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that way. So I hope Vivian finds her father that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: has never stopped looking for her, and I hope her
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: mother is caught, and I hope she has punished, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I hope and pray that Vivian has had a good life.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Because guys, this story has remained unsolved for too long.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And just think about it. She was taken from her
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: father and it's been twenty five years. Can you imagine
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: holding on to hope and fighting every day to find
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: your child. So us to do our part. Let's not
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: let this case be forgotten. Share her story, spread the word,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: share the flyer that we're gonna have on social media,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Share this video. Let's get it out there across the world.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're living in a small community in Costa Rica.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Let's get it out there. Somebody knows something, and I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: am going to tell Marina's family. If you know something
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and you haven't come forward, shame on you for letting
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: this child grow up without her father. Okay, every small
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: detail matters, So let's do our part to help John
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: bring Vivian home. If you know anything about the whereabouts
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of Vivian or her mother, you can contact the Miami
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Police Apartment at three oh five six seven three seven
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: seven seven six, or the Miami Beach Police Department at
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: three oh five six seven three seventy nine hundred, or
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: since the Texas Department has gotten involved, you can also
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: reach out to them at eight hundred three four six
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: three two four three. Guys, this infuriates me that this
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: father has had to go without knowing what happened for
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: all these years. And imagine how much more it hurts
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that this is a woman you had a child with.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Not only did you hurt your child, you hurt her
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: father in every one of those family members.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: So let's share.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: So today I don't have any helpful tips. I don't
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: have a cute little story that I've written. I wanted
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to instead share a story that I read this morning
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: because I thought it would make a perfect palate cleanser
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and because it made me feel all warm and fuzzy
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: on a Monday morning. So every morning, while I drink coffee,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I have a process okay, versa stumble out of bed,
• 22:22

  Speaker 1: have shown up since yesterday. Well, today got to People
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and I came across this story and I got all
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: warm and fuzzy when reading about two women who started
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Friendly City Florals in late twenty twenty three. One of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the founders had lost a father and one had welcomed
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a new daughter, and they saw that they had so
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: many flowers and they realized that maybe they could be
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: repurposed so that others could enjoy them. So, guys, they
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: reached out to wedding venues, event planners and florists who
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: have flowers left over, and what they wanted to do
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: was take the older arrangements repurpose them, remake them, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: then they deliver them to hospice centers, hospitals and senior
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: communities and guys. To date, they have gifted over eight
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: hundred bouquets each in donated vases. Guys, I want you
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to stop and think about weddings. You spend a buttload
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of money on flowers and what happens afterwards. A lot
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of times they go in the trash if people don't
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: take them home. So the fact that they repurpose them
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is amazing. In the article, the women talk about how
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they feel they're making a difference by bringing light to others.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Like I said, since so many of these arrangements would
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: wind up in the trash and guys, I freaking love
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: everything about this. I'm a huge flower person. Back when
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I was a single mom and I lived in Houston,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I go down to the flower district on Payday and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I would buy myself flowers whole cell costs and make
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: arrangements because flowers bring so much joy.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And like to people.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: If you're a flower person. And they had this about
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: one resident out of facility who is ninety five told
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: people that the flowers add so much to our lives.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: The beauty and the fragrance.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: She said, they're so alive and it helps us feel
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: more alive too. Guys, does that not just make you?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: It just does? Okay, So I want to say hats
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: off to Laura, Ruth and Rebecca Shelley. You have done
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing and I hope that by sharing this
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: maybe someone else will be inspired to do something like
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this where they live, because spreading kindness, joy and love
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: help make the world a better place. And just think
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: about it. If you could brighten someone's day by repurposing flowers,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: just think how good that would feel, not just to them,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: but to you.
• 26:17
