  Speaker 1: is because these families deserve answers. So by doing that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and by sharing their missing person posters that we have
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on our Facebook, we can hopefully get these families answers
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they deserve. Now, on a cold December day in twenty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: twenty two, Bruce Joseph Crowley, a devoted addiction counselor and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: beloved brother, quietly slipped out of his everyday life. He
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: left behind a life of structure, responsibility, and purpose, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he entered into a mystery that is yet to be solved. Now.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Bruce was fifty six years old in living in Mouthon, Massachusetts,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: where he managed and resided in a sober home. Now, guys,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he wore mini hats. He was a substance used recovery
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: coach at Power of Recovery and Revere. He worked part
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: time as a hairstylist at the Philip Edward Salon in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Charleston and Guys. He was actively pursuing his master's degree
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in psychology and addiction counseling guys. That is a tremendous feat.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: He had lived in Florida prior to twenty nineteen, where
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he wore as a hairstylace and he developed a drug
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: problem and he came home to Massachusetts to get treatment.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Bruce was in recovery and he committed his life to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: helping others. Now. His sister, Judy Davis described him as warm, witty,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and stylish. Now he was a man who never missed
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a chance to smile or to make someone else bil welcome.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: On December twenty eighth, twenty twenty two, Bruce's routine began
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to unravel. He failed to deliver medication to a client
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and he did not return home that evening. He also
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: missed work the next day, which was an immediate red
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: flag for those who knew his character and his consistency. Now,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at some point that day, he withdrew nine hundred and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars in cash from his bank. Unbeknownst to his family,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: friend or coworkers, he had packed a bag and driven
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: his gray twenty eleven Minnie Cooper to Provincetown, which is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a small seasid town on the tip of Cape Cod.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Now he checked into the Anchor in Beach House on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Commercial Street. The trip was unexpected, and Bruce had not
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: told anyone he was going in no clear reason for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: his visit. For a man known to be reliable connected guys,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the silence was unsettling. Now, on the evening of December thirtieth,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Bruce was seen for the last time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Surveillance footage captured him leaving the Anchor Inn on foot.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He told the innkeeper he was heading to dinner to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: meet friends, though no one has ever came forward to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: confirm such a meeting or that they were that friend.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He left behind his belongings in that room and he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: never returned. Bruce was wearing a navy turtleneck layered under
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a navy V neck sweater, black and blue plaid pants,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and two toned dress shoes navy at the toe and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the back of the hill. Guys. He was always fashion
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and consciousness, and his outfitt. I'm going to say match
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that reputation. At five foot eight and seven one hundred
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and seventy five pounds, Bruce had a sturdy build, gray hair,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: brown eyes, invisible tattoos on his neck, arms, and chest.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, guys, just look at him. This guy is dapper. Okay.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the word people still say,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but he'd be looking dapper, okay. Now. Bruce's Minnie Cooper,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: was later located in a public lot in Provincetown. It
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: appeared undisturbed, and guys, when he didn't come home after
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: New Year's his family reported him missing on January fourth,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty three. Now, his sister and roommate had
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: expressed concern that maybe he relapsed and he went to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Provincetown with the intention of using drugs. Guys, I want
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to just say, if you're new here, I don't want
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to see anything in the comments, or I don't want
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to hear any commentary or see anything on social media
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: saying he was you know, in recovery, that he deserved
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what happened to him if he fell off the wheel,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Because guys, it is an addiction. It is a lifelong problem. Okay.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It is not something you go to a recovery place
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and you're cured. It doesn't happen, okay, So we need
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to give grace to these people. The fact that he
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: was in recovery in using what he learned to help
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: others is what should matter now. Investigators from the Provincetown
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Police Department and Police Department, along with the Cape and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Island Massachusetts State Police, they began working the case. They
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: checked surveillance footage, interviewed people in the area, and search
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for any digital or financial clues. The state Police have
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: done helicopter and water searches around Profittstown. Despite their efforts,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they have found no definitive trace of Bruce after he
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: left the inn. There are no pings from his phone,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: no financial activities since that last withdrawal, and no confirmed sightings. Guys,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's like you've vanished into thin air. And I have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: said this once and I'll say it a thousand times.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: People do not just vanish into thin air. Now. Bruce's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: family has remained vocal and committed to keeping his story alive.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: His sister Judy has spoken publicly sharing her heartbreak and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: her determination, and she emphasized how out of character his
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: disappearance was, and described him as someone who had turned
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: us life around to help others. There have been no
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: major breaks in this case since his disappearance, no signs
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of foul play, no evidence to suggest voluntary disappearance either. Guys,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: these unanswered questions multiply. Why did Bruce go to Previncetown, Who,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: if anyone, was he meeting for dinner that night? What
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: happened after he walked away from the end, Guys, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: can't help, but wonder was he meeting someone who was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in recovery who thought they were relapsing, and maybe he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: went there to help them? We don't know, Okay. Now
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: his case remains open and active authorities in his family
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: continue to ask for the public's help. Guys, even the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: smallest piece of information could make a difference. If you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know anything about Bruce's movements or whereabouts around December thirtieth,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, please contact Provincetown Police Department at five
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: oh eight four eight seven, twelve twelve or the Malden
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Police Department at seven eighty one thirty nine, seven seven
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to one, seven to one. Guys, Bruce did not just disappear.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Bruce Joseph Crowley is more than a missing person. He
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: has a son, a brother, a mentor, and a friend. Guys,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: he was also the guiding light for so many people
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in recovery. His story matters. Someone out there may know
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: what happened in those final moments, and his family is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: waiting for those answers. So I beg you if you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: know anything, and if you are a person who is
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in recovery and you relap and you have information, there
• 11:02

• 11:51
  Speaker 1: if you're here from the Karen Reid trial, I want
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to say I'm very glad neither of these cases to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: my knowledge are Okay, that's all I'm gonna say now, Kayla,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try really hard. Kma, Kermla was sick.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I think I am horrible at names. Kermela was sick.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I was just nineteen years old when she vanished without
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a trace in the spring of twenty twenty three. Guys.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: She is described as bright and social. Her sudden disappearance
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: has left her family searching for answers and the community
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: desperate to help bring her home. She was originally from Attleborough, Massachusetts.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Kayla was last seen by family member on April eleventh,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. She was leaving in an apartment, reportedly
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: wearing a brown zip a puddy with a w on
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it sweat pants and fuzzy Puma flip flops. I love
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the fuzzy flip flops. I have a couple of pair now.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: According to information shared with law enforcement and published on
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: various missing person sites, that is the last confirmed sighting
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: by someone close to her now. The following day, on
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: April twelfth, a friend reported seeing Kayla at Boston Common,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a popular park in downtown Boston. It's alleged that she
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: left the area with a group of older men. Now
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that sighting is one of the most significant leads in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the case. But guys, what happened after that encounter remains
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: unknown today. Now, Kayla's family did not report her missing immediately.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: In April twenty sixth, twenty twenty three, after two weeks
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: after she had last been seen, her disappearance was formally
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: reported to the Attleborough Police Department. Her case was later
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: entered into NamUs. Despite the delay in reporting, law enforcement
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: began investigating and asking for the public's help in local her. Guys,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: we also need to remember not to shame families. You know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: we all want to say and believe, oh, they're with
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: some friends, they're out doing this. We want to find
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: any reason to deny that something maybe bad happened. Guys,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it happens. Kayla is described as a black female, standing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: approximately five feet two inches tall, weighing around one hundred
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and thirty five pounds now. She has brown hair and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: brown eyes. Authorities believe she may have traveled or been
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: taken to other areas beyond Massachusetts. She is known to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: have connections to Boston, New York City, and Vermont, locations
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that may be relevant in tracking her movements or identifying
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: who she may have been with guys. The fact that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: she was seen with older gentlemen scares the dickens out
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of me. Okay, that scares me, and now I'm getting goosebumps.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Something nefarious as most likely happened to this beautiful young lady.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: While there has been no official confirmation on her social
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: media or phone activity since she went missing, her family
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and advocates have used platforms like TikTok to help spread
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: awareness and share her photo. Public posts using the hashtag
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Kayla Kermlo missing urge users to share her story in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: hopes that someone recognizes hers or knows something that could
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: help guys. Law enforcement continues to treat Kayla's Clay case
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: as open and an active missing person investigation. The arrow
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: bout I can't even talk today. The Addiroborough Police Department
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: remains elite agency and has encouraged anyone with the information
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to call them at five oh eight two two two
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: one two one two. They ask that you reference the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: case number twenty three dashes zero zero zero three three
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: three four two. As of today, Kayla has been missing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: well over a year. There have been no publicly announced
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: stings or substantial leads. Her family still waits for answers. Guys,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: her story, like so many others, is a heartbreaking reminder
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of the thousands of unresolved missing person cases in the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: US and how critical it is to keep talking about them. Guys.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: We can't do much, but we can share this beautiful
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: lady's story, her picture and deplete. If you know anything,

• 17:13
  Speaker 1: if you know anything, okay, it helps bring them home. Okay.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I also want to ask you, if you're on TikTok,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: go out there share the message like the families pose. Guys,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about this. Imagine going to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: sleep every night not knowing where your loved one is.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Are they safe, do they have food? Are they being tortured,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: are they being sex trafficked? Have they been killed? And
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you don't know the answers what kind of mental trauma
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that is for them. A person going missing doesn't effect
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: just the person, It affects their family and the community
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they live in. Guys, it's very important for us to
