2:50
Speaker 1: weeks of the year as we here at TCWT Media,
2:54
Speaker 1: we'll be taking the time off to recharge our mental

Speaker 1: batteries and enjoy the holidays with our families. So just
3:03
Speaker 1: want to let you know that, so that you're aware,
3:08
Speaker 1: I'll be trying to cover three cases every time until then.
3:12
Speaker 1: So let's get started with two days cases. So, first
3:19
Speaker 1: up is a complex case that guys. It is filled
3:24
Speaker 1: with strange twists and heartbreaking turns, and it's all over
3:28
Speaker 1: the media. If you're on social media, check the news.
3:32
Speaker 1: You've seen this case. So the mysterious disappearance of thirty
3:37
Speaker 1: one year old Hannah Kabashi from Hawaii. Now I want
3:42
Speaker 1: to walk through everything we know so far and what
3:46
Speaker 1: we can do to help bring Hannah home. Hannah Kobashi
3:50
Speaker 1: is a talented photographer from Hawaii, and she is known
3:54
Speaker 1: for her creativity and her love of travel. And they
3:58
Speaker 1: said she is a vibrant woman with a bright future ahead. Now,
4:03
Speaker 1: she set out to visit her aunt in New York.
4:06
Speaker 1: This trip was planned with her boyfriend, but they broke
4:11
Speaker 1: up before the trip.
4:12
Speaker 2: However, after they.
4:14
Speaker 1: Broke up, they decided to proceed with their travel plans
4:16
Speaker 1: because the tickets were non refundable and they had a
4:20
Speaker 1: simple plan. Okay, they a connecting flight from Hawaii to
4:25
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, then on to New York, and then once
4:29
Speaker 1: in New York, they would go their separate ways. Now,
4:33
Speaker 1: on Friday, November eighth, Hannah and her ex boyfriend both
4:37
Speaker 1: boarded the plane as as planned, and once it landed
4:43
Speaker 1: in La Hannah's ex boyfriend boarded the connecting flight to
4:47
Speaker 1: New York as scheduled. However, it appeared that Hannah missed
4:52
Speaker 1: her connecting flight and then surveillance footage showed her leaving
4:57
Speaker 1: the airport. Now I have to stop right, I can't
5:01
Speaker 1: help but wonder why the ex boyfriend. I mean, I
5:04
Speaker 1: know you broke up, but wouldn't you still make sure
5:08
Speaker 1: you both got on the plane. I mean, that's just
5:12
Speaker 1: my two cents. But as we know, my two cents
5:15
Speaker 1: doesn't amount too much. But I personally, even with an X,
5:21
Speaker 1: I would have been like, hey where are they? I
5:24
Speaker 1: would have gotten off the plane. But that's me.
5:27
Speaker 2: Now.
5:27
Speaker 1: According to the Los Angeles Board Police Commissioners, they say
5:31
Speaker 1: Hannah intentionally missed the flight. However, her family disagrees. Now,
5:39
Speaker 1: Hannah's family says that she stayed at the airport that night. Now,
5:43
Speaker 1: on Saturday, November night, she has seen charging her cell
5:47
Speaker 1: phone at the tash and bookstore at the Grove, which
5:51
Speaker 1: is a very popular outdoor shopping mall that's about twelve
5:55
Speaker 1: miles north of Lax and Guys. She also takes a
6:00
Speaker 1: picture there and sends it to her aunt. Also on
6:04
Speaker 1: that same day, she made two venmo transactions, one to
6:08
Speaker 1: a woman named of Veronica with a bow and arrow
6:11
Speaker 1: emoji in the description, and another to a man named
6:15
Speaker 1: Jonathan that said reading, which they're saying appears to be
6:19
Speaker 1: for a tarot card reading. Now, they have not released
6:23
Speaker 1: the amounts of these payments, and neither of these individuals
6:27
Speaker 1: is accused of any wrongdoing. And Hannah was then again
6:33
Speaker 1: spotted back at Lax that evening. So right in line
6:38
Speaker 1: with her family who said she stayed there.
6:41
Speaker 2: Now. On Sunday, November.
6:43
Speaker 1: Tenth, she is seen again at that same bookstore, and
6:48
Speaker 1: she attended a book signing event for Christina Ricci's book
6:53
Speaker 1: Capfull of Spiders, Tarot Deck and Guidebook That's an Interesting Book.
7:00
Speaker 1: She was then seen at a Nike event and appeared
7:03
Speaker 1: in a stranger's YouTube video that documented the event. Hannah
7:08
Speaker 1: posted a picture on Instagram while at the Nike event.
7:12
Speaker 1: She is then reportedly back at l e X again
7:16
Speaker 1: that night. So very interesting. Now, Early on Monday, November eleventh,
7:25
Speaker 1: her family began receiving strange and concerning text messages from
7:30
Speaker 1: her phone. These messages claimed she didn't feel safe and
7:36
Speaker 1: that someone was trying to steal her identity in some
7:40
Speaker 1: other alarming statements. However, they said the tone and languages
7:45
Speaker 1: of these texts were uncharacteristic of Hannah, which led her
7:50
Speaker 1: family to question whether she was the one sending them. Now,
7:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to say right now, I've said this before
7:59
Speaker 1: on their cases. Maybe she made the decision to not
8:06
Speaker 1: make the flight with her ex. That doesn't mean something
8:09
Speaker 1: nefarious couldn't have happened after that. Okay, now, According to
8:15
Speaker 1: Hannah's aunt, one of these messages said I just finished
8:20
Speaker 1: a very intense spiritual awakening and that she would somehow
8:26
Speaker 1: get to New York City. Hannah is seen at LAX
8:30
Speaker 1: speaking to a ticket agent and retrieving her luggage. Now, guys,
8:35
Speaker 1: just you know, if you miss your flight, you can
8:39
Speaker 1: rebook a flight. I've never had a problem. I've missed
8:42
Speaker 1: flights before, so I do find that interesting. Also, they
8:49
Speaker 1: say that's the last time her phone was pinged.
8:53
Speaker 2: Okay.
8:54
Speaker 1: Video surveillance shows that at around nine pm, she leaves
8:58
Speaker 1: the airport and board it's the Metro, reportedly with an
9:02
Speaker 1: unidentified man. Now, they are seen again around ten to
9:08
Speaker 1: fifty pm near Pico Boulevard in Hill Street, and Hannah
9:14
Speaker 1: is not in good condition. Okay, guys, now I want
9:18
Speaker 1: you to stop and think for a second. Maybe she
9:22
Speaker 1: met somebody, okay, in the airport. Maybe he then proceeded
9:26
Speaker 1: to drunk her, give her something in a drink. I mean,
9:30
Speaker 1: we don't know, so we need to keep that in mind.
9:34
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, On November.
9:36
Speaker 1: Eleventh, Hannah's family filed a missing person's report with LAPD.
9:42
Speaker 1: Hannah's father and family arrived in La sometime this same day,
9:48
Speaker 1: because guys, those cryptic messages and no response from Hannah
9:53
Speaker 1: made them scared suspicious, I mean, just downright worry. The
9:58
Speaker 1: family strongly suspects foul play, and guys, I agree with
10:03
Speaker 1: the family now. On Tuesday, November twelfth, family stated she
10:08
Speaker 1: was seen at the Greyhound bus terminal at Union Station
10:12
Speaker 1: at approximately six point thirty in the morning. She appeared
10:16
Speaker 1: to be alone, but could others be distingished themself from
10:22
Speaker 1: her knowing they're say their lens cameras. I mean, I'm
10:25
Speaker 1: just thinking of trafficking. They may not want to stand
10:29
Speaker 1: right next to you, but they're threatening you. They're threatening
10:33
Speaker 1: your family. You know, you shouldn't run away because they're going.
10:37
Speaker 2: To hurt you.
10:38
Speaker 1: There's just a lot we don't know. On Friday, November fifteenth,
10:43
Speaker 1: the LAPD Missing Persons Unit issued a poster and the
10:48
Speaker 1: FBI joined the investigation. Now for thirteen days, her dad,
10:54
Speaker 1: Ryan searched tirestly across the city, following the leeds and
11:00
Speaker 1: working with law enforcement. During this time, he made a
11:04
Speaker 1: public plea for Hannah's safe return.
11:08
Speaker 2: Guys.
11:08
Speaker 1: Tragically, on Sunday, November twenty fourth, Ryan's body was found
11:13
Speaker 1: in a parking lot near the Lax Airport. He reportedly
11:18
Speaker 1: jumped off the parking ramp. The family confirmed that he
11:22
Speaker 1: took his own life, overwhelmed by the stress and despair
11:27
Speaker 1: of not finding his daughter. Guys, I read articles that
11:31
Speaker 1: he wasn't sleeping, he wasn't eating. I mean, he wasn't
11:35
Speaker 1: taking care of himself. He was distraught, like any of
11:38
Speaker 1: us would be, right, And my heart hurts, and I
11:42
Speaker 1: have goosebumps just talking about it. My heart hurts for
11:46
Speaker 1: him and his family. And despite this devastating loss, the
11:53
Speaker 1: Kabashi family remains focused on finding Hannah. They have issued
11:59
Speaker 1: a public stack and urging everyone to continue looking for her,
12:04
Speaker 1: emphasizing that she is still missing and she is believed
12:08
Speaker 1: to be an imminent danger. Remember, guys, in one of
12:12
Speaker 1: those surveillance video footage, she did not look good. That
12:17
Speaker 1: is alarming. Her aunt has been leading the efforts, searching
12:22
Speaker 1: everywhere from hotels to bus stations, homeless encampments, and asking
12:27
Speaker 1: people across the nation to stay vigilant. And guys, as
12:33
Speaker 1: we all know, there's plenty of speculation and theories around
12:38
Speaker 1: this case. You know, is she being trafficked, is she
12:41
Speaker 1: having a mental health crisis. Did she join a cult?
12:46
Speaker 1: Does she purposely not want to be found? Did she
12:51
Speaker 1: go off the grid intentionally?
12:53
Speaker 2: You know?
12:54
Speaker 1: And I will tell you it's easy to go down
12:57
Speaker 1: rabbit holes and get lost. In all the social media
13:00
Speaker 1: about this case and whatever law enforcement knows, it's being
13:06
Speaker 1: very selectively shared, which is not uncommon. And maybe there
13:14
Speaker 1: is a reason for that, okay, or maybe it's just
13:17
Speaker 1: sloppy police work.
13:18
Speaker 2: We don't know.
13:20
Speaker 1: I like to, you know, err on the side of
13:23
Speaker 1: hope and say, hopefully they're keeping it close to their
13:27
Speaker 1: chest because they have leads and they don't want to
13:30
Speaker 1: scare anyone off. Like I said, I like to be hopeful.
13:34
Speaker 1: But despite all of these questions, one thing that we
13:39
Speaker 1: do know is that Hannah's family needs answers, and guys,
13:44
Speaker 1: this is where you anyone watching this can help, Okay.
13:51
Speaker 1: If you see or hear anything that could help, please
13:55
Speaker 1: contact the LAPD Missing Persons Unit at eight seven seven
14:00
Speaker 1: five two seven three two four seven or the FBI.
14:05
Speaker 1: Remember you can always go to FBI dot gov slash tips.
14:09
Speaker 2: Guys.
14:10
Speaker 1: Every tip, no matter how small, could be the key
14:14
Speaker 1: to bringing her home. And Guys, this case is once
14:19
Speaker 1: again a reminder how quickly a life can take a
14:24
Speaker 1: tragic turn. Hannah's family has suffered an unimaginable loss with
14:30
Speaker 1: the death of her father Ryan, but they are holding
14:33
Speaker 1: on to hope that Hannah will be found. And Guys,
14:37
Speaker 1: I can't help but think that Hannah's got to be
14:41
Speaker 1: held against her will or having a mental crisis, because
14:46
Speaker 1: if she knew her dad died, she would have reached
14:50
Speaker 1: out to her family, I believe, and I don't know
14:53
Speaker 1: the family. I don't know that for a fact, but
14:56
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that she would intentionally do that. So
15:01
Speaker 1: it leads me to believe that she's having some type
15:03
Speaker 1: of mental health crisis, or someone's holding her, or she's
15:09
Speaker 1: somewhere which she doesn't know. So let's do everything we
15:14
Speaker 1: can to get Hannah home. But let's honor Ryan's memory
15:19
Speaker 1: by continuing to spread the awareness and doing everything we
15:23
Speaker 1: can to help find Hannah. Let's do what he can't
15:28
Speaker 1: do anymore, and we will share her flyer after our
15:33
Speaker 1: show today. Please share it, Share it on your Facebook,
15:37
Speaker 1: share it to groups in California, share it to groups
15:40
Speaker 1: in New York. Let's just share it everywhere because we
15:44
Speaker 1: don't know where she is.
15:47
Speaker 2: Okay, guys.
15:49
Speaker 1: Now, next up, we're going to talk about and I
15:53
Speaker 1: hope I am pronouncing this right. But Siah Taylor, Okay,
15:59
Speaker 1: Like I said, hope I'm pronouncing it right because I'm
16:04
Speaker 1: not always good. So her name is Sia Annette Taylor
16:08
Speaker 1: and she is from Plant City, Florida. Yes, we're in
16:12
Speaker 1: Florida again. So she was a vibrant twenty eight year
16:16
Speaker 1: old who guys, she was young. She had her whole
16:20
Speaker 1: life of ahead of her. She disappeared on February sixth,
16:24
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
16:26
Speaker 2: Guys.
16:26
Speaker 1: Everyone described her as respirited and a fun loving person,
16:32
Speaker 1: and her sudden disappearance has left her family and that
16:37
Speaker 1: community devastated.
16:40
Speaker 3: Now.
16:41
Speaker 1: The events leading up to her disappearance began around four
16:45
Speaker 1: pm on February six Siah was last seen dropping her
16:50
Speaker 1: on and off again boyfriend at his home. Sia and
16:54
Speaker 1: her boyfriend had a fight, and she had called a
16:57
Speaker 1: friend crying and upset about the fight. She was supposed
17:01
Speaker 1: to go to that friend's house, but she never arrived.
17:07
Speaker 1: Her two thousand black Toyota Solaris was found abandoned on
17:11
Speaker 1: railroad tracks near East Trapnel Road and Japtucker Road in
17:16
Speaker 1: Plant City. The car was unlocked and her belongings, including
17:22
Speaker 1: her phone and debit card, were left inside. Guys, guess
17:28
Speaker 1: what makes this even more crazy? Her car was still
17:33
Speaker 1: running and the driver's side door was open, and it
17:37
Speaker 1: was just a few hundred feet away from her boyfriend's home.
17:44
Speaker 1: But despite this, guys, Sia was nowhere to be found.
17:49
Speaker 1: Local authorities quickly launched a search but did not find her.
17:55
Speaker 1: The timeline raises some critical questions. I mean, first off,
17:59
Speaker 1: why a car left on the tracks. Was it a
18:03
Speaker 1: sign of foul play or could there have been some
18:07
Speaker 1: kind of accident. Witnesses reported seeing the car shortly after
18:12
Speaker 1: five pm, and it was moved off the tracks by
18:15
Speaker 1: authorities around six point thirty pm. Thankfully no train went
18:21
Speaker 1: through there. I mean, my first thought is someone put
18:26
Speaker 1: it there hoping that a train would hit it, But
18:30
Speaker 1: we all know that's how my crazy brain works, right. However,
18:35
Speaker 1: there was no immediate follow up at the scene to
18:38
Speaker 1: investigate why the car was there or where she might
18:42
Speaker 1: have gone, and this delay is frustrating for her family
18:49
Speaker 1: and they all believe valuable time was lost. Taylor family,
18:54
Speaker 1: I am with you. They screwed. They screwed the booch.
18:58
Speaker 1: So Sya's family has been relentless in their efforts to
19:01
Speaker 1: find her. They have organized multiple searches, distributed flyers, and
19:07
Speaker 1: have used social media to spread awareness. But despite this,
19:12
Speaker 1: leads have been very, very sparse. Now, another troubling detail
19:18
Speaker 1: that has added speculation to this case is that in
19:22
Speaker 1: the days following her disappearance, Saya's shoes were found on
19:26
Speaker 1: a drainage pipe near the road where her car had
19:30
Speaker 1: been abandoned, next to a telephone pole that had her
19:35
Speaker 1: missing person's flyer on it. Okay, guys, that is creepy
19:43
Speaker 1: and suspicious, and this discovery deepens the concerns that foul
19:50
Speaker 1: play may have been involved.
19:53
Speaker 2: Now.
19:54
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, her boyfriend, Jason Roberts, and one
19:57
Speaker 1: of his friends were arrested on charges unrelated to Sia's case.
20:04
Speaker 1: These arrests gave some hope that new information may emerge
20:09
Speaker 1: regarding her disappearance. However, guys, nothing has been announced now.
20:16
Speaker 1: The Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office continues to classify her case
20:21
Speaker 1: as a missing person investigation. They have conducted ground searches
20:26
Speaker 1: and reviewed surveillance footage from the area, but as of now,
20:31
Speaker 1: there are no concrete answers. Now, guys, I have to say,
20:39
Speaker 1: I get very nervous and suspicious when anyone gets into
20:46
Speaker 1: a feight with a spouse, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or
20:51
Speaker 1: a wife and then the other person comes up missing.
20:55
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not.
20:57
Speaker 1: Saying Jason had anything to do with it. I am saying,
21:02
Speaker 1: in my mind, he's a person of interest because you've
21:08
Speaker 1: got in a fight. She calls her friend crying, she's
21:11
Speaker 1: dropping him off at his house. She goes missing, her
21:16
Speaker 1: car has found train tracks still running, all of her
21:21
Speaker 1: stuff inside, and it's like two hundred feet from his house.
21:26
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just do one of those little things
21:29
Speaker 1: that you did when you were a kid and you
21:31
Speaker 1: connected all the dots to see what picture you get.
21:35
Speaker 1: I am getting a very interesting picture when I try
21:39
Speaker 1: to connect all of those dots. Just Sam Now, Like
21:43
Speaker 1: I said, Sia's family describes her as a kind hearted
21:47
Speaker 1: and compassionate person who would not simply walk away from
21:52
Speaker 1: her life, the family, and the community. They hold vigils
21:57
Speaker 1: regularly to keep her story in the spot. And guys,
22:02
Speaker 1: hopefully we can get some answers to so Sia Taylor's
22:07
Speaker 1: family still wants answers. If you have any information about
22:12
Speaker 1: her disappearance, please contact the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office at
22:17
Speaker 1: eight one three two four seven eight two zero zero.
22:23
Speaker 1: Let's not Sia. Let's not let her Sia's story fade
22:27
Speaker 1: into the background. Also, I want to say, if you
22:31
Speaker 1: know her boyfriend and you know that he's involved, don't
22:38
Speaker 1: be scared.
22:39
Speaker 2: Go to the police.
22:41
Speaker 1: You can always go to FBI dot gov slash tips
22:46
Speaker 1: and submit an anonymous tip. Let's let's help bring her
22:52
Speaker 1: home and get her family answers that they deserve. Now,
23:01
Speaker 1: our last case today is the case of Emma Baum,
23:06
Speaker 1: the twenty five year old mother from Gary, Indiana who's
23:11
Speaker 1: been missing for over a month. And guys, at the
23:15
Speaker 1: time she went missing, she was nine months pregnant. Now,
23:21
Speaker 1: before we get into this case, I do not know
23:24
Speaker 1: why in the hell this is not all over the news.
23:28
Speaker 2: This is a.
23:29
Speaker 1: Twenty five year old mother who's nine months pregnant. This
23:35
Speaker 1: should be all over the news. Okay, this should be.
23:39
Speaker 1: She was last seen on October tenth, twenty twenty four.
23:43
Speaker 1: According to her family, she was near the intersection of
23:46
Speaker 1: twenty fifth Avenue in Connecticut Street in Gary, Indiana. At
23:51
Speaker 1: the time Emma was reportedly visiting her father, visiting the
23:56
Speaker 1: father of her unborn child, Antwine Cornell Dante Butler. Wow, Antoine,
24:06
Speaker 1: your parents gave you some names. Okay, I'm just going
24:08
Speaker 1: to tell you they gave you a lot of names.
24:10
Speaker 2: Now.
24:11
Speaker 1: Her family said Emma did not have a working phone
24:14
Speaker 1: with her when she left that day, and despite being
24:18
Speaker 1: so close to her due date, there have been no
24:21
Speaker 1: signs of her, no hospital records indicating she ever gave birth,
24:27
Speaker 1: and guys for me and her loved one, these details
24:32
Speaker 1: heighten their worry. It's chilling to think about the timing here.
24:37
Speaker 1: Emma was about to bring a new life into the world.
24:40
Speaker 1: For her just to disappear, It's almost unthinkable, and I
24:45
Speaker 1: can't imagine what her family is going through in the
24:49
Speaker 1: stress of not knowing where she is or if her
24:52
Speaker 1: baby is safe. I don't know if anyone watching this
24:58
Speaker 1: remembers there was a pregnant mom in San Antonio, Texas
25:03
Speaker 1: last year. I believe maybe it was early this year.
25:06
Speaker 1: All the days bleed in together who was missing, and
25:11
Speaker 1: they found her and her and the child had been murdered.
25:17
Speaker 1: Along with the bit you know the child, the baby's father,
25:19
Speaker 1: her boyfriend. So it is hard to imagine a pregnant
25:25
Speaker 1: woman would just walk away. Okay, you're nine months pregnant.
25:29
Speaker 1: You have spent nine months carrying this new life inside
25:34
Speaker 1: of you. You don't just say eh, I'm gonna leave. Okay,
25:40
Speaker 1: you don't. Emma Baum is five foot three inches tall
25:45
Speaker 1: and weighs around one hundred and thirty six pounds. She
25:48
Speaker 1: has brown hair and brown eyes, but is known for
25:51
Speaker 1: wearing wigs or hair pieces in different colors and styles, same, Emma, Same.
25:58
Speaker 1: She has several scars on her arms and numerous tattoos.
26:02
Speaker 1: Emma's loved ones say she was excited about welcoming her
26:06
Speaker 1: new baby, which makes this disappearance even more alarming. She's
26:11
Speaker 1: also the mother of three other children, all of whom
26:15
Speaker 1: are anxiously awaiting her to her return. Guys, I want
26:20
Speaker 1: you to think about that. Those three children go to
26:24
Speaker 1: bed every night wondering where their mom is and their
26:27
Speaker 1: new sibling. Think about that now. It took eighteen days
26:35
Speaker 1: for missing person report to be filed, officially, opening Emma's
26:39
Speaker 1: case with the Gary Police Department on October twenty eighth.
26:43
Speaker 1: That is precious time lost, time when investigators might have
26:47
Speaker 1: uncovered crucial leads and guys. It makes me wonder why
26:53
Speaker 1: this delay happened, What was the confusion, what was the miscommunication?
26:58
Speaker 1: Or is there more to this story that we don't know?
27:01
Speaker 1: And it's hard not to speculate, but I have so
27:07
Speaker 1: many questions. Authorities have conducted several searches, included reviewing surveillance footage,
27:14
Speaker 1: combing through abandoned properties, in interviewing individuals who were in
27:19
Speaker 1: Emma circle. One key figure in this investigation is Emma's
27:25
Speaker 1: boyfriend Antoine, who's also the father of her unborn child.
27:30
Speaker 1: Butler was arrested on an unrelated warrant. He has been
27:34
Speaker 1: interviewed regarding Emma's disappearance, but at this time, no charges
27:39
Speaker 1: have been filed in connection to this case. Now, while
27:44
Speaker 1: researching this case, I found posts on social media from
27:47
Speaker 1: an ex girlfriend of Antoine who reports Antoine is a
27:52
Speaker 1: violent person and that he even abused her during her pregnancy.
28:01
Speaker 2: That is scary.
28:03
Speaker 1: If this woman is telling the truth, that is extremely worrisome. Now,
28:10
Speaker 1: the delay in reporting Emma missing is a point of
28:13
Speaker 1: frustration for her family, and they are upset and they
28:18
Speaker 1: argue that more could have been done in the critical
28:21
Speaker 1: early days following her disappearance, and I agree one hundred percent.
28:27
Speaker 1: And I wantn't know why it took eighteen days to
28:31
Speaker 1: officially list her as missing. I mean, let's be honest,
28:35
Speaker 1: A nine month pregnant woman doesn't just disappear, Okay, But
28:44
Speaker 1: the search still continues and the community is rallying behind
28:50
Speaker 1: Emma and her family to bring her home. And they
28:55
Speaker 1: say the Gary community has come together in a remarkable way.
28:59
Speaker 1: Voluntare teer groups are canvassing neighborhoods, distributing flyers, and organizing
29:05
Speaker 1: search of abandoned properties, and their dedication is a testament
29:10
Speaker 1: to the power of a community determined to find answers.
29:17
Speaker 1: I just want to tell the community in Gary, Indiana,
29:20
Speaker 1: thank you. Sounds like y'all are doing what the police
29:24
Speaker 1: didn't do and should be doing more of now. Emma's
29:29
Speaker 1: family has also launched social media campaigns urging anyone with
29:35
Speaker 1: information to come forward. Guys, they are stressing, and I
29:39
Speaker 1: am stressing even the smallest detail could make a difference,
29:45
Speaker 1: because guys, I think we can all relate to the
29:47
Speaker 1: family's persistence here. They are holding on to hope, and Guys,
29:52
Speaker 1: I admire their resilience in cases like this, public awareness
29:57
Speaker 1: is critical. Every flyer hands out, every post shared could
30:02
Speaker 1: lead to a tip that cracks this case. Guys, I
30:06
Speaker 1: want you to think about this. If she is somewhere hurt,
30:11
Speaker 1: she's probably has gone into labor and her and that
30:15
Speaker 1: baby could they could be in severe danger and they
30:20
Speaker 1: need your help. So the authorities and us and her
30:25
Speaker 1: family are asking all of you to help. If you
30:28
Speaker 1: know anything about Emma Baum's whereabouts or if you are
30:33
Speaker 1: in the area of twenty fifth Avenue in Connecticut Street
30:37
Speaker 1: on October tenth, please contact the Gary Police Department at
30:42
Speaker 1: eight sixty six two seven four six three four seven.
30:47
Speaker 1: And if you know anything about Antwine, please share that information,
30:54
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't have to do with Emma.
30:57
Speaker 2: If you have proved that.
30:58
Speaker 1: He has done something to someone in the past, give
31:01
Speaker 1: the police anything that they can use to bring him
31:05
Speaker 1: in and get more information. And our thoughts are with
31:12
Speaker 1: Emma's family as they navigate this painful time. It's the holidays, guys,
31:18
Speaker 1: and they should be celebrating this new life brought into
31:22
Speaker 1: their family, and instead they are wondering where Emma is
31:27
Speaker 1: and they're worrying about her safety and the safety of
31:31
Speaker 1: her child. So please share all of the flyers that
31:37
Speaker 1: we post today for these cases. We can do our
31:42
Speaker 1: part by getting the word out. It may not seem
31:44
Speaker 1: like a lot, guys, but it is a lot. Not
31:48
Speaker 1: only could it spark someone's memory or say oh this happened,
31:53
Speaker 1: or maybe somebody saying, oh I saw that person I
31:55
Speaker 1: didn't know they were missing, but it also lets her
31:59
Speaker 1: loved one, no, and all of the loved ones on
32:03
Speaker 1: cases that we cover that other people care.
32:07
Speaker 2: Okay, that lets them know they're not alone.
