Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: I then step out here.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Get a war for your rest. Yeah, so it's for
- 0:13Speaker 2: murder charges.
- 0:18Speaker 3: This is sixty year old Ellene Gowan. She is briefly
- 0:22Speaker 3: seen here leaving this apartment complex with a briefcase. This
- 0:26Speaker 3: is the last time she would ever be seen alive.
- 0:34Speaker 4: I don't want to watch the other stammergency. So we're
- 0:37Speaker 4: dragging down the road to go shooting, and there is
- 0:40Speaker 4: a dead body on the side of the road.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Eleene's body would be found thirteen days after the last
- 0:47Speaker 3: time she was seen on CCTV. Police believe she was
- 0:51Speaker 3: entangled in a deadly love triangle prior to her murder,
- 0:55Speaker 3: but over the course of the next several months, this
- 0:58Speaker 3: cold case would turn out to be far more complicated
- 1:01Speaker 3: and even more disturbing than they could have ever imagined.
- 1:06Speaker 1: We and her broke up.
- 1:07Speaker 5: She moved in with a guy and met.
- 1:09Speaker 6: Him and all I know was his first name is Sam.
- 1:12Speaker 6: They told her it was deal with him because he
- 1:16Speaker 6: told me if he cops it behind him, he's as.
- 1:23Speaker 7: Her grandfather in the car and he called them.
- 1:26Speaker 8: Fate and he's possibly going to try to crack the car.
- 1:34Speaker 3: On February thirteenth, twenty twenty three, Eleene Gowan was seen
- 1:39Speaker 3: leaving her longtime job at Sugar's Diner. She had just
- 1:43Speaker 3: told her daughter over a text message that she was
- 1:46Speaker 3: on her way to pick up some things from her
- 1:47Speaker 3: friend Mike, who she had recently moved in with after
- 1:51Speaker 3: breaking up with her ex boyfriend Sam Bremer only a
- 1:55Speaker 3: week earlier. Strangely, she would specify that her coworker at
- 2:00Speaker 3: Sugar's Diner would be the one to drive her there. However,
- 2:04Speaker 3: as Eleene left her workplace, no coworker would show up. Instead, strangely,
- 2:11Speaker 3: her ex boyfriend Sam would be the one to pick
- 2:14Speaker 3: her up. Ours would go by, but Eleene would never
- 2:18Speaker 3: show back up to Sugars. The owner of the restaurant, Megan,
- 2:22Speaker 3: would begin worrying as to where Eleene could have gone
- 2:25Speaker 3: and started frantically sending her messages asking for her whereabouts,
- 2:30Speaker 3: But oddly, she would receive a single message back saying
- 2:36Speaker 3: leave me alone. I'm done. This was very strange coming
- 2:41Speaker 3: from Eleene, as she almost never texted, usually resorting to
- 2:46Speaker 3: phone calls, and was often extremely responsible. Something strange was
- 2:50Speaker 3: going on. The day would go by and Eileene would
- 2:55Speaker 3: never be seen. The following day, Eleene's daughter would finally
- 2:59Speaker 3: missing one person's report for Eleen to the Council of
- 3:02Speaker 3: Bluff's police department, and an investigation began. Detectives would begin
- 3:07Speaker 3: collecting CCTV footage from everywhere in the town to try
- 3:10Speaker 3: and fully document where Eleen went the day of her disappearance,
- 3:14Speaker 3: but this would be quite the lengthy process, so without
- 3:18Speaker 3: anything to go by, police would start asking her family
- 3:21Speaker 3: and friends. Apparently, after leaving her ex boyfriend Sam Brammer
- 3:27Speaker 3: a week earlier, she had stayed with her new friend
- 3:30Speaker 3: Mike Brockman, a man her family claimed had likely assaulted
- 3:35Speaker 3: her the night before she disappeared. This shined a suspicious
- 3:40Speaker 3: light on both of the men she was involved with,
- 3:43Speaker 3: so police would bring in both Sam and Mike for
- 3:46Speaker 3: interrogation and see if they could find any leads. Mike
- 3:50Speaker 3: was a friend of Eleen's who met her at Sugars
- 3:52Speaker 3: and became very close over time. It was still unclear
- 3:55Speaker 3: to officers what happened to Eileen at this point. For Alveno,
- 4:00Speaker 3: she could have just gone mia and taken a break
- 4:02Speaker 3: from her stressful life. However, if anyone would have the
- 4:06Speaker 3: clues as to where she went, it would be Mike
- 4:09Speaker 3: so basically, I.
- 4:13Speaker 9: Mean, as you know, I talked to you on Wednesday. Wednesday,
- 4:17Speaker 9: I guess it was the first day I talked to you.
- 4:21Speaker 9: I had received information from some of the family that
- 4:24Speaker 9: you and Eileen were possibly in a relationship or kind
- 4:29Speaker 9: of story.
- 4:29Speaker 1: She made live with you for a few days or
- 4:31Speaker 1: a week or so. But if you could just kind
- 4:35Speaker 1: of go before Monday.
- 4:36Speaker 9: Just kind of tell us how you guys know each other,
- 4:38Speaker 9: how she ended up out there at your place, that
- 4:40Speaker 9: kind of thing, and then we'll kind of move from there.
- 4:43Speaker 6: She was a waiver sures and I knew her from
- 4:46Speaker 6: in there.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And I talked to her before and stuff like that.
- 4:50Speaker 6: And then she told me, I don't know, it was
- 4:54Speaker 6: like on Tuesday or Wednesday night that she got kicked out.
- 4:59Speaker 6: She knew place to say, that's the way you stay
- 5:02Speaker 6: in my place for a couple of days. And I
- 5:05Speaker 6: was Friday. She called me and she said, I want
- 5:09Speaker 6: to be coming back. She says, we'll getting back together
- 5:13Speaker 6: her boyfriend, and all I know was his first.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Name, Sam.
- 5:17Speaker 6: I don't know anything else about. And so I didn't
- 5:22Speaker 6: see her. And then she called me crying on that
- 5:26Speaker 6: Saturday night and she said, oh, we got into can
- 5:29Speaker 6: I come out for a day? I said, you can
- 5:31Speaker 6: come back out, but I want you gotta be gone
- 5:35Speaker 6: money because I can't add this. I'm single. I don't
- 5:39Speaker 6: want anything like this going on.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Two initial thoughts can be made upon hearing Mike's story.
- 5:46Speaker 3: On one hand, it seems like Sam was back together
- 5:50Speaker 3: with Eleen, so Sam would be a much stronger person
- 5:52Speaker 3: of interest as he'd likely been the last person to
- 5:55Speaker 3: see her. On the other hand, Mike may have had
- 5:58Speaker 3: a deep connection with Elee, meaning if he learned she
- 6:02Speaker 3: got back with her ex boyfriend just days after moving
- 6:04Speaker 3: in with him, he could have played a sinister role
- 6:07Speaker 3: in her disappearance. But detectives planned to let Mike tell
- 6:10Speaker 3: his side of the story before confronting him about the
- 6:13Speaker 3: suspicious relationship.
- 6:15Speaker 6: So I took her to work Monday morning. I've been
- 6:18Speaker 6: a week ago yesterday. You're after off at five am,
- 6:23Speaker 6: and she was supposed to get off it she said
- 6:26Speaker 6: seven or eight.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Her daughter was going to pick her up.
- 6:29Speaker 6: She's going to go to her mom's and get her
- 6:32Speaker 6: safe and take through her daughters, and then she was
- 6:35Speaker 6: supposed to come back to work at two o'clock in
- 6:38Speaker 6: the afternoon. Well, then I get a phone call from
- 6:42Speaker 6: the bar saying eighty SR and I said, I have
- 6:45Speaker 6: seen her. I haven't talked to her nothing. Oh, she
- 6:49Speaker 6: didn't show up for work. She didn't show up. I said,
- 6:53Speaker 6: I haven't her gaming and I tried to contact her
- 6:57Speaker 6: and couldn't get a hold of her. So I said
- 7:00Speaker 6: her text messaging ice as all your stuff, it's bagged,
- 7:03Speaker 6: it's going to be setting behind the bar. You got
- 7:06Speaker 6: to get it out of here. I don't want to
- 7:09Speaker 6: mess it anymore. This and I never searched five.
- 7:14Speaker 1: O'clock that moneymore.
- 7:15Speaker 6: I'd never had any contact with her own text or anything.
- 7:22Speaker 6: And then I didn't know anything until right before you
- 7:26Speaker 6: called me.
- 7:26Speaker 1: The two come up missing.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Mike would go on to claim that he never had
- 7:32Speaker 3: any relationship with Elena and that she stayed in a
- 7:35Speaker 3: completely different room to him while living in his house. However,
- 7:39Speaker 3: detectives know more about Mike than he thinks, and with
- 7:42Speaker 3: some information Eleen's close friends shared with them, they don't
- 7:46Speaker 3: believe he and Eleen were just friends.
- 7:50Speaker 10: Did you as anybody saying to you that Eileen was
- 7:55Speaker 10: saying anything about you? Have you heard anything about her
- 7:58Speaker 10: making any statements about you? And your behavior while she
- 8:03Speaker 10: lived he was staying with you out there, No, she
- 8:08Speaker 10: did you.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You haven't heard that.
- 8:10Speaker 10: She may have made a statement that you possibly assaulted
- 8:13Speaker 10: her while she was out there, okay, That statement was
- 8:20Speaker 10: made to a couple of people that.
- 8:24Speaker 1: You supposedly laid down in on her bed with her
- 8:32Speaker 1: and spooned her from behind.
- 8:35Speaker 11: Is that?
- 8:37Speaker 1: Can you tell me? Is that any of that accurate?
- 8:39Speaker 1: Any of those statements.
- 8:41Speaker 6: I would not do that because, like I said, she
- 8:45Speaker 6: was a loose camon.
- 8:46Speaker 11: I mean, I mean, I guess he's here's the deal.
- 8:49Speaker 11: You're a girl man, she's a girl woman. You know,
- 8:51Speaker 11: if there was any type.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Of whatever contact between you that was consensual, there's absolutely nothing.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Wrong with that. I mean, she was crying that for
- 9:00Speaker 1: I should go out, okay, but there was no relationship,
- 9:08Speaker 1: no asking bordering.
- 9:12Speaker 3: This information is well concerning, considering it would be unlike
- 9:18Speaker 3: a lean to make up blatant wise of this magnitude. However,
- 9:21Speaker 3: with little to no evidence other than a few rumors
- 9:24Speaker 3: coming from her friends, police can't harp over these allegations
- 9:28Speaker 3: and decide to wrap Mike's questioning up. At this point,
- 9:31Speaker 3: Mike is still considered to have potential involvement in Eleen's disappearance,
- 9:36Speaker 3: but with a lack of leads, they directed their attention
- 9:39Speaker 3: to the only other potential suspect, Eleene's ex boyfriend, Sam Bremmer.
- 9:44Speaker 1: We've already met dyer. Yeah, this dire. I'm the start
- 9:52Speaker 1: of the talk to.
- 9:53Speaker 8: My name is Sam Robertson, strolling through and I was
- 9:57Speaker 8: the last version of.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Senior life that. Yeah, I didn't say that, I know
- 10:01Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, I said you were the last person.
- 10:04Speaker 1: And so before she went.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Missing, Sam wasted no time adding more suspicion onto his name.
- 10:11Speaker 3: The phone recording shows that the detective never mentioned Sam
- 10:14Speaker 3: being the last to see Eleen alive. Eleen has been
- 10:17Speaker 3: missing for less than forty eight hours at this point,
- 10:20Speaker 3: so the fact that he's already alluding to the idea
- 10:22Speaker 3: that she's dead is awfully disturbing you. But this would
- 10:26Speaker 3: only mark the beginning of Sam's unsettling choice of words
- 10:30Speaker 3: during the interview.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I was an have a lawyer.
- 10:37Speaker 12: Yeah no, yeah, that's a that incum has hearted me there.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I got to record an optic back and listen to it.
- 10:44Speaker 11: But but yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not what I
- 10:47Speaker 11: said to it.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I mean basically we.
- 10:49Speaker 11: Got to you know, crazy to you here where you
- 10:52Speaker 11: know Eileen is evidently is her family.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And everything else.
- 10:57Speaker 11: She's never done this kind of thing or she's never
- 11:00Speaker 11: just you know, took off and gone.
- 11:03Speaker 1: They all know us to know if she comes to me,
- 11:06Speaker 1: she moves him.
- 11:07Speaker 8: She's moved him at me four or five times, but
- 11:09Speaker 8: use them when she moved him with me, she said
- 11:11Speaker 8: to wait for home.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Yeah, because they said she they.
- 11:14Speaker 11: Talk every day, the daughter and her talkt something by
- 11:18Speaker 11: the one on her or whatever she had.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Yeah, if they need something, then they'll get hold of her. Okay.
- 11:23Speaker 8: Just like when she got arrested for the DWY she
- 11:26Speaker 8: went to jail, they finally built her up.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Who they they took her and dropped her off at
- 11:29Speaker 1: the borrow. Okay, and she was homeless. Okay, let's if
- 11:33Speaker 1: you could. I just need to know what went on
- 11:38Speaker 1: Monday morning? What happened Monday morning with you? She texted me.
- 11:44Speaker 7: Okay, and want to know if I would come to
- 11:46Speaker 7: get her because one of her friends supposedly was supposed
- 11:50Speaker 7: to come and.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Get her and supposedly run out of gas. So did
- 11:55Speaker 1: she tell you the friend's name or Okay?
- 11:58Speaker 8: So I got there and I said, I'll be there
- 12:01Speaker 8: in a minute. She was going to come inside. I
- 12:02Speaker 8: don't want Megan to know that we're back or you're
- 12:05Speaker 8: with me.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I said, okay, and I pulled up. She gives her
- 12:09Speaker 1: the truck.
- 12:11Speaker 7: We came off right out to this too was the
- 12:14Speaker 7: one that tried to do something with her, and uh
- 12:19Speaker 7: dropped her off there.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Then I left and then it wasn't too long after
- 12:26Speaker 1: that is when she called me. I think she was
- 12:29Speaker 1: at my house now.
- 12:30Speaker 8: And you can't get my affirment building unless she had
- 12:32Speaker 8: a key to get in. But I think she was knocking.
- 12:34Speaker 1: On my window. I didn't look. I didn't care. I
- 12:37Speaker 1: just wanted to but you're not taking a nap. That's
- 12:39Speaker 1: when she texted me.
- 12:40Speaker 7: I want to know if I could talk to Emmy
- 12:43Speaker 7: about letting her move back in because this guy, Uh,
- 12:48Speaker 7: Now that's true when that night, the night before Monday night, Monday,
- 12:54Speaker 7: you know, And I don't know if that was true
- 12:56Speaker 7: or not.
- 12:56Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 12:57Speaker 1: She was just saying that they did me to take
- 12:59Speaker 1: her or what.
- 13:00Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 13:02Speaker 3: This statement adds more weight to a Leen's allegations towards Mike.
- 13:07Speaker 3: If Mike did do these things to Aleen, then moving
- 13:10Speaker 3: out and staying with Sam would be completely logical. On
- 13:14Speaker 3: top of his statement, what Sam is about to reveal
- 13:16Speaker 3: to detectives will make the allegations much harder to dismiss
- 13:20Speaker 3: and place all the suspicion back on Mike.
- 13:24Speaker 8: And she said, please talk to him me. She'll come
- 13:26Speaker 8: back home. He me, last night, Sam, I love you.
- 13:29Speaker 8: I promise I'll quit drinking.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Please give me another chance. And she said, I'm hanging
- 13:35Speaker 1: out with her. And this was it at one twenty two.
- 13:38Speaker 8: What's it said? And I said, he I'm hanging out
- 13:41Speaker 8: with it Ran. I will get hold with you later.
- 13:43Speaker 8: Am I going to work?
- 13:46Speaker 1: I'll invite back to you, right I think two or three? Yeah,
- 13:51Speaker 1: I can't remember, okay.
- 13:53Speaker 8: And then you go to work, go back there. They
- 13:58Speaker 8: treat me like shit. And then she said you've seen it.
- 14:02Speaker 8: They have, but I can't say. And then I said,
- 14:07Speaker 8: why are you telling me? Why didn't you tell me
- 14:09Speaker 8: this earlier when I was talking to you.
- 14:11Speaker 1: You're drunk. You're drunk, and be honest, that's why I
- 14:16Speaker 1: can't do this. No more. Please, You're not calling me
- 14:19Speaker 1: no more, text me no more. I'll be your friends
- 14:23Speaker 1: of your work, and that's what you got pissed off.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Based on these texts, it really seems like a Lean's
- 14:31Speaker 3: disappearance was just a way for her to take a
- 14:34Speaker 3: break from her traumatic life. If this allegations are true,
- 14:38Speaker 3: and her ex boyfriend refused to give her a place
- 14:40Speaker 3: to stay, well, then running away for the time being
- 14:44Speaker 3: is completely reasonable. SAME's story seems solid so far, but
- 14:48Speaker 3: there's one tiny detail that just doesn't quite add up,
- 14:53Speaker 3: and this detective has just picked up on it.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Say you dropped her out in front of Mike's house,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and you watched her walk into all she knew she
- 15:02Speaker 1: got on and she wanted front a truck. She wanted
- 15:05Speaker 1: front a truck. I wouldn't turn well, okay, So he
- 15:08Speaker 1: get in the house and and I that. So if
- 15:12Speaker 1: she had walked away.
- 15:13Speaker 11: From there, I mean that's quite a ways away from
- 15:17Speaker 11: your apartment complex.
- 15:18Speaker 6: I wonder how she would have gotten to you was
- 15:21Speaker 6: supposed to come to her own.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Sam claims the day of Aleen's disappearance, he drove her
- 15:28Speaker 3: from her workplace at Sugar's Diner over to Mike's house
- 15:32Speaker 3: to get her belongings. After that, he drove off, assuming
- 15:35Speaker 3: she was to be picked up by one of her friends. Fortunately,
- 15:39Speaker 3: police can easily cross reference these claims using surveillance footage.
- 15:43Speaker 3: At this point, the majority of the CCTV camera footage
- 15:46Speaker 3: has been obtained from the day of Allen's disappearance, so
- 15:48Speaker 3: detectives quickly wrapped up Sam's interview so that they could
- 15:51Speaker 3: further investigate his claims. Additionally, the detective would apologize for
- 15:56Speaker 3: assuming Sam's earlier word choice was suspicious. Nearly forty eight
- 16:01Speaker 3: hours of compiling the surveillance footage from around the town,
- 16:04Speaker 3: officers managed to put together a complete timeline of Sam
- 16:07Speaker 3: and Ellen's car ride. At eight thirty am on February thirteenth,
- 16:14Speaker 3: Eleen would patiently wait at her work Sugars for Sam
- 16:18Speaker 3: to pick her up. Ellen needed a ride to go
- 16:20Speaker 3: and purchase a new apartment since my kid kicked her out.
- 16:23Speaker 3: She would tell her boss and daughter that a friend
- 16:26Speaker 3: was picking her up because she didn't want anyone to
- 16:28Speaker 3: know her and Sam were back together. Ellen and Sam
- 16:30Speaker 3: would first drive to her mother's apartment Dudley courtz. She
- 16:34Speaker 3: would be seen carrying a suitcase like object out from
- 16:37Speaker 3: her mother's apartment, then leaving with it. This would turn
- 16:40Speaker 3: out to be a safe containing one thy two hundred dollars,
- 16:43Speaker 3: which she had planned to use as a down payment
- 16:46Speaker 3: for an apartment. At nine thirty am, they would drive
- 16:49Speaker 3: directly to the Sherwood Apartment Complex to purchase the apartment. However,
- 16:53Speaker 3: the complex happened to be closed, so they were unable
- 16:56Speaker 3: to purchase anything. This is where the timeline starts to
- 17:00Speaker 3: a ter from Sam's claims in the interrogation room. From
- 17:03Speaker 3: nine to forty five to ten thirty am, Sam's car
- 17:06Speaker 3: can be seen driving all across town. He went in
- 17:08Speaker 3: multiple circles and even made a quick stop to Burger
- 17:11Speaker 3: King at ten thirty. However, he never drove eleen to
- 17:15Speaker 3: Mike's house like he had claimed. In fact, Sam's car
- 17:19Speaker 3: can be seen driving in the opposite direction to Mike's
- 17:21Speaker 3: house the entire morning. This is concerning, but it would
- 17:27Speaker 3: only get words For the next two hours. Sam's truck
- 17:32Speaker 3: goes off the grid. It's completely unknown where he went,
- 17:35Speaker 3: and no CCTV cameras had managed to capture his location. Luckily,
- 17:40Speaker 3: at one PM, his truck would appear back on the
- 17:43Speaker 3: same streets he circled on for hours that morning, and
- 17:46Speaker 3: eventually he would make his way back to his own
- 17:48Speaker 3: home at the Cottonwood Apartment complex, But things were different.
- 17:54Speaker 3: In all the recordings past one pm, Eleen was no
- 17:59Speaker 3: longer with SA. Cameras had clearly captured that Sam was
- 18:02Speaker 3: nowhere near Mike's house the entire day, so why would
- 18:06Speaker 3: he feel the need to lie about where he dropped
- 18:09Speaker 3: a lean off? This footage paints Sam out to look
- 18:11Speaker 3: awfully suspicious, and while both Sam and Mike have some
- 18:16Speaker 3: strong dirt for their name, Sam's clear lies convince officers
- 18:20Speaker 3: to bring him back to the station the very next day,
- 18:23Speaker 3: this time to confront him on his false alibis. Unbeknownst
- 18:27Speaker 3: to detectives, this very interview would spark a month's long
- 18:32Speaker 3: game of cat and mouse, involving a high speed pursuit,
- 18:35Speaker 3: unsettling clues, and a chilling discovery. But before we get
- 18:39Speaker 3: to that, let me tell you about today's sponsor, ship Station.

- 19:45Speaker 3: get back to Sam Bramer, who had just been brought
- 19:48Speaker 3: back to the interrogation room to explain the inconsistencies in
- 19:52Speaker 3: his alibi.
- 19:53Speaker 10: The other day when we were in here, he told
- 19:55Speaker 10: me that you got a phone call for her and
- 19:59Speaker 10: you want.
- 19:59Speaker 1: To pick her up right, So if you could give
- 20:02Speaker 1: me a.
- 20:02Speaker 11: Favor and just kind of go through that timeline again,
- 20:04Speaker 11: we know that it was somewhere right around at eight thirty,
- 20:07Speaker 11: So if you can just kind of go through that
- 20:09Speaker 11: timeline again.
- 20:09Speaker 8: As far as I'm not too sure on the time, Okay,
- 20:13Speaker 8: But anyway, she texted me that morning and I didn't
- 20:18Speaker 8: text her back. I called her and she won't know
- 20:20Speaker 8: if I would come and get her because some girl
- 20:23Speaker 8: was supposed to pick her up and she ran out
- 20:25Speaker 8: of gas. So I went and picked her up, and
- 20:29Speaker 8: she got in the truck. I left, and she wanted
- 20:32Speaker 8: to talk to me about helping her get in the
- 20:34Speaker 8: apartment because she had the same apartment doing I did.
- 20:38Speaker 1: But she didn't pay her rent, so she got kicked out.
- 20:42Speaker 8: So but she didn't want to go home right away,
- 20:45Speaker 8: so me and her just.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Went right down Broadway, and then.
- 20:47Speaker 8: She wanted to stop at her mom's house. I stopped
- 20:50Speaker 8: at her mom's house and she was in there for
- 20:53Speaker 8: I don't know five or ten minutes. She come out
- 20:55Speaker 8: of there. I got back in and then we was
- 20:58Speaker 8: going back down Broadway. Just talked him some more, and
- 21:01Speaker 8: she promised me. She wanted me to drop her or
- 21:03Speaker 8: her back off at his house, but she made me
- 21:07Speaker 8: a promise that I wouldn't do nothing doing.
- 21:08Speaker 1: But I told her I promise as a matter of fact,
- 21:11Speaker 1: can we get here? We just get out. You walk
- 21:13Speaker 1: in front a truck over, turn around and I'll leave it.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And she said, okay, okay, so you went up there,
- 21:18Speaker 1: you dropped her off? Then what you do?
- 21:20Speaker 8: So as I pulled it up and she didn't want
- 21:22Speaker 8: to be going to driveway in case she was there, okay,
- 21:25Speaker 8: and she had a truck, and she had a truck.
- 21:27Speaker 8: She walking from the truck and that's why I wanted.
- 21:29Speaker 8: She had turned around and came back. Okay, yeah, sure,
- 21:32Speaker 8: So you went back down to the highway, went back
- 21:34Speaker 8: down to King.
- 21:35Speaker 1: He left her there. Huh you got there?
- 21:38Speaker 12: You're there?
- 21:38Speaker 1: Yeah? Or are you?
- 21:40Speaker 11: No?
- 21:40Speaker 1: She out a truck, she didn't want any come in.
- 21:42Speaker 1: She didn't say anything, he said. She winning and grabbed clothes,
- 21:44Speaker 1: came back out to your truck, and you guys left again. No, no, no,
- 21:47Speaker 1: no no, that was at her mama, her mama's house.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Clearly, Sam is lying about where he was the day
- 21:55Speaker 3: of the Leen's disappearance. The detectives know it, and it
- 21:58Speaker 3: seems like Sam is starting to realize he won't be
- 22:02Speaker 3: able to keep up his fake story for much longer.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Even after being told that cameras show him at nowhere
- 22:08Speaker 3: near Mike's house the entire day. Sam insists on his
- 22:11Speaker 3: story that he did in fact drop a lean off
- 22:14Speaker 3: at Mike's house. With this, the detectives would take a
- 22:17Speaker 3: brief break from the room to watch the footage over again,
- 22:21Speaker 3: just to triple check that Sam is one hundred percent lying,
- 22:25Speaker 3: And to nobody's surprise, the footage showed Sam on the
- 22:29Speaker 3: opposite side of town during the time he claims to
- 22:31Speaker 3: have been at Mike's. So when the detectives return to
- 22:34Speaker 3: the interview room, they'll use this information to try and
- 22:37Speaker 3: get Sam to own up to his lives.
- 22:40Speaker 13: We got a small little Sam here, right, We need
- 22:43Speaker 13: to talk to you, okay, So you said.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Actually drop her off out there off of Hwer.
- 22:49Speaker 13: When I be one at that rest mess you headed
- 22:52Speaker 13: back to your apartment. We checked so our cameras, okay,
- 22:56Speaker 13: and we have a camera thirty six the Broadway and
- 22:58Speaker 13: we have your truck. Go on, what about at nine
- 23:00Speaker 13: twenty eight am going to Omah? Okay, when you passed
- 23:03Speaker 13: thirty six and Broadway head and west, So you didn't
- 23:10Speaker 13: go home, you went over to Omahall looks like do
- 23:12Speaker 13: you remember what.
- 23:13Speaker 1: You did or in the mall? Where did you go?
- 23:16Speaker 1: I told you I want you at home. I don't
- 23:18Speaker 1: remember one. Oh well, camera doesn't lie. It's your truck
- 23:23Speaker 1: and it's your license plate number.
- 23:25Speaker 13: Right at thirty six to the Broadway at nine twenty
- 23:29Speaker 13: eight am.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Going west two forty eight and then one hour later.
- 23:36Speaker 6: You're coming back from ohall and you're going eastbound back
- 23:39Speaker 6: coming back in the Council plus one hour way.
- 23:42Speaker 1: I'm going the mall. Where if you go? I wish
- 23:45Speaker 1: you're home.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Sam is stuck at this point. No matter what information
- 23:52Speaker 3: detectives reveal, he will not admit to anything. At this
- 23:55Speaker 3: point in the interview, all Sam has left is to
- 23:58Speaker 3: simply reject everything the detectives tell him. They know Sam
- 24:02Speaker 3: isn't telling the truth, but why he's not telling the
- 24:05Speaker 3: truth is what remains to be seen. However, with Sam
- 24:08Speaker 3: seemingly uncooperative, all detectives can do is end the interview
- 24:12Speaker 3: and let Sam back onto the streets until more concrete
- 24:16Speaker 3: evidence can prove he had more to do with Ellen's
- 24:18Speaker 3: disappearance than he claims. But fortunately, letting Sam back onto
- 24:23Speaker 3: the streets would lead them to the exact evidence that
- 24:26Speaker 3: they were looking for. While law enforcement was working away
- 24:30Speaker 3: at this case, another investigative group would be working in
- 24:34Speaker 3: the dark. Ellen's family. Everyone health hope that Ellen was
- 24:38Speaker 3: still alive, but with time passing, her family was demanding answers.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Sam and Eleen had a long history of arguments, physical assault,
- 24:46Speaker 3: and much more that the family was well aware of.
- 24:50Speaker 3: They knew Sam had more information about Ellen's whereabouts than
- 24:53Speaker 3: he had told them, so to figure this out for themselves.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Eleene's son Jack would show up up to Sam's door
- 25:00Speaker 3: that same night and he would pound on the door,
- 25:03Speaker 3: and upon opening, Jack would ask the simple question, what
- 25:08Speaker 3: the hell did you do to my mom? In Jack's words,
- 25:12Speaker 3: Sam stared at him as if he had seen a
- 25:15Speaker 3: ghost and then shut the door in his face. Sam
- 25:18Speaker 3: panicked whatever he did to Eileen, people were starting to
- 25:22Speaker 3: catch on. Later that night, Sam would talk to his
- 25:27Speaker 3: granddaughter Emily and would claim that he was going to
- 25:30Speaker 3: harm himself so that he could go visit her deceized grandmother.
- 25:34Speaker 3: This shocked Emily, as in her eyes, Eileen was still alive. Quickly,
- 25:39Speaker 3: she would call nine one one to report everything Sam
- 25:42Speaker 3: had just told her, and shortly thereafter police would locate
- 25:46Speaker 3: a drunken Sam at his local bar.
- 25:49Speaker 14: Hi, sir, how are you? Is this your vehicle? Yeah? Hey,
- 25:53Speaker 14: can I saw to you real quick?
- 25:55Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 26:00Speaker 14: Do you have any weapons or anything on here? Hey?
- 26:06Speaker 14: We were called to check your welfare. Okay. I think
- 26:08Speaker 14: you talked to your granddaughter earlier and she was concerned
- 26:11Speaker 14: about you, some of the statements that you made to her.
- 26:14Speaker 14: I'm here for you, man, tell me what's going on. Well,
- 26:17Speaker 14: why are you feeling the way you're feeling? My girlfriend,
- 26:23Speaker 14: it was like a week ago. Me and her broke up.
- 26:26Speaker 14: She moved in with a guy and apparently hes what's
- 26:32Speaker 14: his name? The only thing I know, he goes by Mike.
- 26:35Speaker 14: Me and her broke up, she didn't have a place
- 26:36Speaker 14: to go, she moved in with him, she told me Friday.
- 26:40Speaker 14: He tried to mess with her.
- 26:42Speaker 5: So I called my son and see if she can
- 26:45Speaker 5: move back in because he kicked us out. So I
- 26:47Speaker 5: called my son and see if she can move back
- 26:49Speaker 5: in with her, And then I went to his house,
- 26:53Speaker 5: got her stuff, took her to my son's and then
- 26:56Speaker 5: the next morning we went to work and then she
- 26:58Speaker 5: went right back to him.
- 26:59Speaker 1: So I don't know.
- 27:01Speaker 14: So what comments did you make to your granddaughter that
- 27:04Speaker 14: would would be concerning the eving.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I have a couple of drinks and that lowers it.
- 27:11Speaker 14: And as you mentioned something about seeing grandma tonight, okay,
- 27:15Speaker 14: did you mention something about seeing Grahama tonight? No, I
- 27:19Speaker 14: would like for you to talk to somebody tonight. I
- 27:21Speaker 14: would like for you to talk to a medical professional.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Okay.
- 27:24Speaker 14: I don't want to have to drag you up to
- 27:26Speaker 14: the hospital, but I most certainly will. I think, based
- 27:28Speaker 14: off of what the granddaughter has told us tonight, I'm
- 27:31Speaker 14: kind of the yeah, oh shit, yeah, so she.
- 27:37Speaker 12: Was, she was crying.
- 27:39Speaker 1: She's yes, she was very emotional. Her best friends and
- 27:44Speaker 1: are currently at the apartment.
- 27:46Speaker 14: Because of what you said, Wow, based off of what
- 27:49Speaker 14: they have told me tonight, I'm going to give you
- 27:51Speaker 14: one or two options. You can go up willingly and
- 27:53Speaker 14: talk to a medical professional tonight, okay. Or I can
- 27:55Speaker 14: take you up there and you'll stay there for seventy
- 27:57Speaker 14: two hours. Okay, my grandmother, come help me.
- 28:01Speaker 6: No.
- 28:02Speaker 14: Based off of what you've told us and what's going
- 28:04Speaker 14: on in your life right now, yeah, you need to
- 28:06Speaker 14: talk to somebody. I don't think that we would be
- 28:09Speaker 14: doing our dull diligence to do our job to make
- 28:12Speaker 14: sure that you're not going to hurt yourself based off
- 28:15Speaker 14: of what's going on with you and your girlfriend. Okay,
- 28:20Speaker 14: you need to talk to somebody tonight, Okay, And so
- 28:24Speaker 14: the best course of action is to go up to
- 28:25Speaker 14: the hospital. Your choice to go to talk to somebody
- 28:28Speaker 14: about it tonight.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Sam's mental state was clearly deteriorating. Whatever happened to Aleen,
- 28:34Speaker 3: regardless of his involvement, was really getting to him. Following this,
- 28:38Speaker 3: Sam would be placed in a psychiatric facility for the
- 28:41Speaker 3: next two days, where he would undergo therapy and psychiatric care.
- 28:48Speaker 3: During these two days, detectives would aim to gather more
- 28:52Speaker 3: intel on the case, this time by interviewing the family
- 28:55Speaker 3: of Aleen and Sam. They'd bring in both Justin Brammer,
- 28:59Speaker 3: Sam's son, and Nicole Shipper I Lean's daughter, and both
- 29:03Speaker 3: of them would reveal significant details crucial to solving the case.
- 29:09Speaker 1: This is Detective Zach Meller. I just want to get
- 29:13Speaker 1: as much history as you can tell me. You're talk
- 29:15Speaker 1: to me about when it comes to your mom. What
- 29:18Speaker 1: was their relationship like over there?
- 29:21Speaker 3: Now?
- 29:21Speaker 1: I help anyone? Okay, what do you mean by that
- 29:25Speaker 1: he didn't like her drinking?
- 29:27Speaker 15: He thought he could change her from so get her
- 29:30Speaker 15: to stop drinking. I told him that he can't because
- 29:35Speaker 15: she won't change for a kid.
- 29:36Speaker 1: She's not going to change for a man. And he
- 29:40Speaker 1: seemed that to think that he could change her.
- 29:42Speaker 8: So we.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Kept trying with her, but.
- 29:49Speaker 15: There was things on his part in her part that
- 29:51Speaker 15: were not healthy.
- 29:52Speaker 1: They both had jealousy issues.
- 29:54Speaker 15: They both had He has a very short temper, very short.
- 30:02Speaker 1: And little less things will set him off, and it's
- 30:05Speaker 1: just it's like ridiculous when they are good. They were good.
- 30:14Speaker 1: When it was not, it was I was constantly in
- 30:19Speaker 1: the middle of it because she's my mom and that's
- 30:23Speaker 1: his my boyfriend's dad. They were good when they weren't drinking,
- 30:28Speaker 1: especially when she wasn't drinking.
- 30:33Speaker 10: She she's bigger, she argued.
- 30:38Speaker 1: They start arguing, they just escalate. Next day they were fine.
- 30:46Speaker 1: It's just big would bit angry. Did you ever see
- 30:50Speaker 1: it get physical?
- 30:51Speaker 7: No?
- 30:52Speaker 1: I never see it physical. He told me. She heard
- 30:56Speaker 1: her she grated him by her net coultle times with
- 30:58Speaker 1: those bother Why wouldn't you grab everybody? Now she grabbed him?
- 31:03Speaker 1: But oh okay.
- 31:05Speaker 3: It seemed like Sam and Aleen had a rocky relationship,
- 31:08Speaker 3: but it rarely escalated to the point of violence, and
- 31:11Speaker 3: if the fights did turn violent, it was a Leen
- 31:14Speaker 3: doing the physical harm to Sam.
- 31:16Speaker 1: The week prior to last Monday. What was going on?
- 31:22Speaker 1: They're separated. She called me before she went missing, telling
- 31:30Speaker 1: me how she.
- 31:32Speaker 15: Don't want to be back get back with him because
- 31:34Speaker 15: she's tired of him throwing her out for a little
- 31:36Speaker 15: reasons and she's sick of not being able to be
- 31:42Speaker 15: how to stable home because he just gets so mad
- 31:45Speaker 15: at the smallest.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Things and just kicks her out. Did Emily want her
- 31:48Speaker 1: to go? Or was it you're dead at wanting to go?
- 31:51Speaker 1: Was it sam?
- 31:52Speaker 6: My dad?
- 31:53Speaker 7: Okay, you take your bag, you kick your leg out
- 31:58Speaker 7: for your bag, kick your vergo out.
- 32:00Speaker 3: So Sam's family strongly suggests that Eleen was in fact
- 32:09Speaker 3: the troubled one in the relationship, and Sam tried over
- 32:12Speaker 3: and over to cut her out of his life. This
- 32:15Speaker 3: only perplexed detectives and simply doesn't explain why Sam's been
- 32:19Speaker 3: acting so strangely following Eleen's disappearance. Two days after these interviews,
- 32:25Speaker 3: Sam would be released from the psychiatric facility. Fortunately for Sam,
- 32:30Speaker 3: no new leads had come out regarding Eleen's death, meaning
- 32:33Speaker 3: he could finally have some peace for the first time
- 32:35Speaker 3: in the last week or so, it would seem, because
- 32:39Speaker 3: on February twenty first, the same day Sam was released,
- 32:43Speaker 3: he would go to Walmart to restock on alcohol. However,
- 32:47Speaker 3: right as Sam was about to get in his truck
- 32:49Speaker 3: and leave, and off duty officer spotted him and decided
- 32:52Speaker 3: to ask some questions related to Aileen. Hesitantly, Sam asked
- 32:56Speaker 3: to move his truck and then he would talk to
- 32:58Speaker 3: the officer, but the moment he got into his car,
- 33:01Speaker 3: Sam would slam on the pedal, nearly hitting the officer,
- 33:04Speaker 3: and floor his truck down the road, flying past pedestrians.
- 33:08Speaker 3: The cop would jump in his car and begin chasing Sam,
- 33:11Speaker 3: who would only pick up speed As he ramped up
- 33:13Speaker 3: to over one hundred miles per hour down the peaceful
- 33:16Speaker 3: roads of Rexburg, Idaho.
- 33:28Speaker 6: The white lighted up the road.
- 33:34Speaker 3: The chase continued for multiple minutes, but it became clear
- 33:37Speaker 3: to officers that Sam had no plans of slowing down,
- 33:40Speaker 3: so the chief officer radioed in to call the chase off.
- 33:44Speaker 14: Shut it down.
- 33:48Speaker 3: It out, Sam had just successfully run from the police,
- 33:53Speaker 3: and while he was having the time of his life.
- 33:56Speaker 3: This chase obviously made things much mush much worse for Sam.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Not only was he now highly suspected of murder, but
- 34:06Speaker 3: is also wanted for evading arrest and reckless driving. A
- 34:10Speaker 3: couple hours after his escape, he would simply return back
- 34:13Speaker 3: to his apartment as if nothing had ever happened. Ironically,
- 34:17Speaker 3: this would actually postpone Sam's arrest as more officers assumed
- 34:21Speaker 3: he would be hiding in a more clever place and
- 34:23Speaker 3: searched around the town instead of checking the Cottonwood apartments.
- 34:27Speaker 3: In fact, the entire day would go by and officers
- 34:30Speaker 3: had no trace of where Sam could have gone. But
- 34:36Speaker 3: the fun would only last for a day, and the
- 34:39Speaker 3: pressure must have gotten to Sam, as the next morning
- 34:42Speaker 3: he would turn himself in to police. Sam would be
- 34:45Speaker 3: charged with eluding and reckless driving and would be placed
- 34:48Speaker 3: in the Potawatomi County Jail. However, Sam would only spend
- 34:52Speaker 3: one night in the county jail after being bailed out
- 34:55Speaker 3: by Emma Lee, so by the grace of a miracle,
- 34:58Speaker 3: yet again, Sam bred was back on the streets. During
- 35:04Speaker 3: this time, Sam would go to the bank and hand
- 35:07Speaker 3: them a large stack of cash to deposit into his account.
- 35:11Speaker 3: This swad of cash would come out to be approximately
- 35:13Speaker 3: one thousand, two hundred dollars, the exact amount found in
- 35:17Speaker 3: a Leen's safe that she had the day of her disappearance. Additionally,
- 35:20Speaker 3: Sam would drive his truck over to the scrapyard. He
- 35:23Speaker 3: would ask to fully dispose of it, crushing it to
- 35:26Speaker 3: pieces and even shredding it After. To make sure this
- 35:29Speaker 3: got done, Sam would meticulously watch the entire hour long process,
- 35:34Speaker 3: ensuring his car was turned to dust. It couldn't be
- 35:39Speaker 3: more obvious that Sam had something to do with Allen's disappearance.
- 35:44Speaker 3: The lies to detectives, the disturbing comments to Emilie, running
- 35:48Speaker 3: from the cops, cashing in and Lean's safe money, and
- 35:51Speaker 3: now shredding the only potential piece of evidence he had left.
- 35:55Speaker 3: On top of all of that, detectives had looked into
- 35:58Speaker 3: the claims involving Myke Brockman and discovered that Mike was
- 36:02Speaker 3: at work all day at Omaha, Nebraska, nowhere near Sugar's
- 36:06Speaker 3: Diner where a Leen was last seen. All of that
- 36:10Speaker 3: leaves Ivan Sam Bremer as the final suspect, but with
- 36:15Speaker 3: no direct evidence, all law enforcement could do is wait
- 36:20Speaker 3: until new clues came their way.
- 36:27Speaker 4: And one what's the other stam agency, I don't really
- 36:31Speaker 4: have an address for up the eggs in a Cracke,
- 36:33Speaker 4: Iowa over by a public shooting area. What's going on?
- 36:39Speaker 4: So we were driving down the road to go shooting
- 36:41Speaker 4: or whatever and there is a dead body on the
- 36:45Speaker 4: side of the road. Female.
- 36:48Speaker 8: It's female for sure.
- 36:51Speaker 3: On February twenty sixth and Eleen's body was found underneath
- 36:55Speaker 3: a bridge just miles away from Sam's apartment. He was unrecognizable,
- 37:02Speaker 3: but the clothes matched the exact outfit Eileen was wearing
- 37:06Speaker 3: the day she had disappeared. Someone had killed her. Medics
- 37:11Speaker 3: would pronounce Eileen dead on the scene, and she would
- 37:15Speaker 3: be taken to the hospital to get an autopsy done
- 37:17Speaker 3: to determine her cause of death, but her results would
- 37:21Speaker 3: come back strange. Eleen had eight blunt force impacts to
- 37:26Speaker 3: her head and a fractured front tooth well gruesome. None
- 37:31Speaker 3: of these injuries were sufficient to cause her to die,
- 37:35Speaker 3: so her cause of death would be ruled as undetermined.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Unfortunately for police, this meant they wouldn't be able to
- 37:44Speaker 3: immediately charge Sam with murder. However, with all the sufficient
- 37:48Speaker 3: evidence they'd gathered throughout the course of the investigation, they
- 37:51Speaker 3: had enough to charge him with abuse of a corpse. Quickly,
- 37:55Speaker 3: they'd receive an arrest warrant, and for the fourth time
- 37:58Speaker 3: that month, officers would arrive at Sam's apartment, this time
- 38:02Speaker 3: to finally seal his fate.
- 38:05Speaker 12: Hello, good morning, we're looking for your grandfather.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Is he here? Okay, just one second, let just go.
- 38:16Speaker 12: Sam.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Ray goes by Sam.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Okay, is there anybody else in there?
- 38:23Speaker 1: Just okay?
- 38:25Speaker 2: Has he got any guns or anything like that? Okay, Well,
- 38:29Speaker 2: he's got a warrant, so we need to talk to him.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Just what that officer and I'll be right there.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Alright, then step out here, show us your hand.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Nope, okay, hey, hey, hey, okay, come here.
- 38:50Speaker 3: You got a warrant for your rest.
- 38:55Speaker 12: I'll let you smoke that if you.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Oh, you can.
- 38:59Speaker 12: Smoke all right, all right, yeah, we'll get them.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, huh.
- 39:14Speaker 12: I'm just trying to here in a minute. All right, Okay,
- 39:24Speaker 12: he'll be pot County'll be able to.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Call you a little bit.
- 39:26Speaker 12: Thank you.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Sam's games had finally come to an end. Sam would
- 39:33Speaker 3: eventually go to court for the murder of Eleen Gowan.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Forensic pathologists would spend weeks investigating Eleen's death, and eventually
- 39:42Speaker 3: they would discover zipper marks on the neck of Eleen,
- 39:44Speaker 3: signifying that she was strangled to death, likely by Brammer.
- 39:49Speaker 3: This pile of circumstantial evidence seemed to be enough for
- 39:53Speaker 3: the jury, and on November seventeenth, twenty twenty three, Ivan
- 39:57Speaker 3: Samuel Brammer was charged with second degree murder, abuse of
- 40:01Speaker 3: a corpse, and theft. He was sentenced to sixty five
- 40:05Speaker 3: years in prison.
