0:05
Speaker 1: get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the strange, dark,
0:08
Speaker 1: and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to

0:30
Speaker 1: today's stories. Located on the far northern tip of Maine,
0:46
Speaker 1: right on the border of Canada, lies a small rural
0:50
Speaker 1: town called Van Buren.
0:51
Speaker 2: Van Buren is home to about.
0:53
Speaker 1: Two thousand people who for the most part, have lived
0:55
Speaker 1: in Maine for their entire lives, and they tend to
0:58
Speaker 1: be very rugged and very competent people.
1:01
Speaker 2: But unless you live in Van.
1:02
Speaker 1: Buren, or know someone in Van Buren, or have family
1:05
Speaker 1: out there, there's no reason you would have heard of
1:08
Speaker 1: this particular town. Nothing really happens in this town, at
1:11
Speaker 1: least nothing that makes headlines. However, that would change. In
1:14
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Van Buren made international headlines because of one man,
1:19
Speaker 1: Ronald Seer. As a young man in the nineteen fifties,
1:23
Speaker 1: Ronald Seer joined the Air Force and fought in the
1:25
Speaker 1: Korean War, and then after he got out of the military,
1:28
Speaker 1: he moved back to his hometown of Van Buren, Maine,
1:31
Speaker 1: and he moved into a very modest two story home
1:34
Speaker 1: right near town, and for a little while he just
1:36
Speaker 1: kind of floated about, didn't really have a direction in life.
1:39
Speaker 1: But eventually, because of his love for working with his
1:42
Speaker 1: hands and his general skill at working with his hands
1:46
Speaker 1: and building things, he started a small but successful tool
1:49
Speaker 1: selling company that he ran right out of his shed
1:52
Speaker 1: on his property. Fast forward to twenty nineteen. Ronald Seer
1:56
Speaker 1: at that time was sixty five years old and he
1:58
Speaker 1: still lived in the same property right near town and
2:01
Speaker 1: Van Buren. However, he now lived alone, and he still
2:05
Speaker 1: ran this tool selling business right out of his workshed.
2:08
Speaker 1: And for Ronald this was enough. He was very content
2:11
Speaker 1: with his life. He was very happy, but that year
2:14
Speaker 1: he would face a crisis. One bright sunny morning in
2:18
Speaker 1: the summer of that year, Ronald left his house and
2:20
Speaker 1: he walked over to his shed. He went inside, and
2:24
Speaker 1: right away he noticed something. Ronald kept all these bins
2:27
Speaker 1: inside of his shed that were full of all of
2:29
Speaker 1: the different tools that he would sell. And because he
2:31
Speaker 1: was in there all the time, either literally selling tools
2:34
Speaker 1: or tinkering with whatever it was he was building himself,
2:38
Speaker 1: he was very aware of how full each of these
2:41
Speaker 1: bins were, and anytime they got low, he would order
2:43
Speaker 1: more so he had enough supply to sell. And so
2:46
Speaker 1: he went into a shed this morning, and he noticed
2:48
Speaker 1: right away that a couple of the bins appeared to
2:51
Speaker 1: be a little bit lower than he remembered. And right
2:53
Speaker 1: away Ronald is thinking, you know, did I forget to
2:56
Speaker 1: order supplies to fill these bins up? Did I just
2:59
Speaker 1: forget to do that? But he's thinking to himself, you know,
3:01
Speaker 1: I am meticulous in making sure my inventory is full
3:05
Speaker 1: at all times. I've been doing this for decades, and
3:08
Speaker 1: so it can't be me. You know. Maybe I took
3:10
Speaker 1: the tools and I brought them into my house and
3:13
Speaker 1: I've left them in there, or maybe they're in my truck.
3:15
Speaker 1: And so Ronald, believing there's a totally logical explanation for this,
3:18
Speaker 1: would leave his shed and he would search his property,
3:21
Speaker 1: but he can't find these tools anywhere, and so he
3:23
Speaker 1: began calling his family and his friends to see if,
3:26
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they had come by and borrowed some
3:28
Speaker 1: of these tools, or maybe they knew what had happened
3:30
Speaker 1: to them. But everyone he spoke to said no, I
3:33
Speaker 1: have no idea. And so by that afternoon, Ronald had
3:36
Speaker 1: found himself back inside of his workshed, looking around, thinking to.
3:39
Speaker 2: Himself, have I been robbed?
3:42
Speaker 1: It was the only logical thing he could think of
3:44
Speaker 1: that would explain this loss, and so Ronald drove to
3:47
Speaker 1: the police station and he spoke to police, and he
3:50
Speaker 1: explained what happened. But unfortunately, the police's reaction to what
3:54
Speaker 1: he was telling them was not exactly what he wanted.
3:56
Speaker 1: They basically assumed that, you know, he just had miscas
4:00
Speaker 1: that in reality, the tools were either still in the
4:02
Speaker 1: shed and he just forgot how many were supposed to
4:05
Speaker 1: be in there, or he had just kind of lost
4:07
Speaker 1: them on his property somewhere that they were bound to
4:10
Speaker 1: turn up. And so the police told him, look, Ronald,
4:12
Speaker 1: go back and search your property. I'm sure they're there,
4:15
Speaker 1: and if you get some proof that someone actually stole
4:18
Speaker 1: from you, then come back to us, and so Ronald
4:21
Speaker 1: was really annoyed by this. He wanted them to take
4:23
Speaker 1: this seriously, but he could tell they just were not
4:26
Speaker 1: going to, and so Ronald drove back to his house.
4:28
Speaker 1: He went inside, he hopped in his computer, and he
4:30
Speaker 1: began researching what other homeowners did to protect themselves from
4:34
Speaker 1: things like theft, and one of the things he came
4:37
Speaker 1: across was setting up trip wires all around the perimeter
4:40
Speaker 1: of your property. Basically, you take these thin wires and
4:43
Speaker 1: you stretch them out very tight, very low to the ground,
4:46
Speaker 1: and you anchor them on each side, and then on
4:49
Speaker 1: the wire itself you hang little bells and so in theory,
4:52
Speaker 1: if an intruder were to walk onto your property, they
4:55
Speaker 1: would most likely not see the trip wires on the
4:58
Speaker 1: ground and they would kick them. That would cause the
5:00
Speaker 1: bells to ring, thereby alerting the homeowner of their presence.
5:04
Speaker 1: Ronald loved this idea, so he went out and he
5:06
Speaker 1: set up tripwires all around his property. But over the
5:09
Speaker 1: next several days, after these wires were stood up, none
5:13
Speaker 1: of the wires made any sound, and still more tools
5:17
Speaker 1: continued to go missing. This was also in spite of
5:20
Speaker 1: the fact that his shed was locked at night, and
5:22
Speaker 1: so Ronald's thinking to himself, whoever's doing this is clearly
5:26
Speaker 1: watching me and kind of monitoring what I'm doing. They
5:28
Speaker 1: must be aware of the trip wires, and they must be.
5:31
Speaker 2: Sneaking into the shed.
5:32
Speaker 1: You know at some time that I have the doors unlocked.
5:35
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a professional thief. And
5:37
Speaker 1: so as Ronald is thinking about this master thief that
5:41
Speaker 1: is targeting him, he has the sudden fear that if
5:44
Speaker 1: he can't stop this person from breaking into his shed
5:46
Speaker 1: and taking his tools, how can he possibly protect himself
5:49
Speaker 1: against this person breaking into his home and stealing things
5:53
Speaker 1: from in there, which included all of his cash and
5:55
Speaker 1: many other valuables. And so Ronald became very fearful and
5:59
Speaker 1: decided the own only thing he could do was really
6:02
Speaker 1: beef up his home security system. And so we hopped
6:05
Speaker 1: back online and he began googling other ways to protect
6:08
Speaker 1: your property, and after discovering a number of really effective techniques,
6:12
Speaker 1: he got to work. He began building all these home
6:14
Speaker 1: defense systems and placing them all around his property. And
6:17
Speaker 1: after all of these kind of DIY security measures were
6:21
Speaker 1: put up, the theft of his tools stopped, and in
6:24
Speaker 1: Ronald's mind, that validated that his defense system had worked.
6:28
Speaker 1: He was effectively preventing theft. But this would not be
6:32
Speaker 1: the end of his troubles. Fast forward to Thanksgiving that year,
6:35
Speaker 1: So November twenty eighth, and the Van Buren police got
6:38
Speaker 1: a very frantic phone call from Ronald. He was totally hysterical.
6:42
Speaker 1: He wasn't really making sense, and the police they tried
6:45
Speaker 1: to understand what was going on, but all they could
6:47
Speaker 1: get from Ronald was that he was requesting police to
6:49
Speaker 1: come to his residence immediately. And so the police that
6:52
Speaker 1: hang up and they're thinking, okay, you know, we know
6:54
Speaker 1: Ronald was dealing with a potential thief. Maybe he literally
6:58
Speaker 1: caught the thief red handed, and he wants us to
7:00
Speaker 1: come and arrest this person. And who knows, maybe they're
7:02
Speaker 1: fighting at his residence right now. And so the police
7:05
Speaker 1: speed over to Ronald's house. They pull into his driveway
7:08
Speaker 1: and at first glance, nothing looks out of the ordinary.
7:10
Speaker 1: Ronald's truck is in the driveway and there's no obvious
7:13
Speaker 1: signs of a disturbance, but they notice the front door
7:17
Speaker 1: to Ronald's house is wide open, and so the police
7:19
Speaker 1: park their cars in Ronald's driveway. They get out and
7:22
Speaker 1: they run up onto the front porch and they're standing
7:24
Speaker 1: in front of this open door, and they look down
7:27
Speaker 1: and they can see there's a very obvious blood trail
7:30
Speaker 1: starting from the front of Ronald's house, going straight back
7:33
Speaker 1: down a hallway that looped around to the left and
7:35
Speaker 1: out of sight. And so right away the police are
7:38
Speaker 1: yelling into the house Ronald, Ronald, are you okay?
7:40
Speaker 2: What's going on?
7:41
Speaker 1: And somewhere deep inside of the house, they hear what
7:44
Speaker 1: sounds like Ronald make a kind of guttural sound, and
7:47
Speaker 1: so immediately this tips the police that more than likely
7:50
Speaker 1: Ronald has been hurt and he likely is the one
7:53
Speaker 1: who made this blood trail, And so the police draw
7:55
Speaker 1: their guns and they go inside of Ronald's house, not
7:58
Speaker 1: really sure what they're gonna find. They don't know if
8:00
Speaker 1: there's some intruder or attacker or someone in here that's
8:03
Speaker 1: harmed Ronald. But they make their way down this hall
8:06
Speaker 1: following the blood trail. They turned the corner and then
8:09
Speaker 1: sitting at the end of the blood trail is Ronald.
8:12
Speaker 1: He's sitting down with his back to some cabinets in
8:14
Speaker 1: the kitchen and he's clutching his midsection, he is covered
8:17
Speaker 1: in blood, he's completely pale, and so right away the
8:20
Speaker 1: officers call in backup. But then as a security measure,
8:23
Speaker 1: they searched the rest of the first floor to make
8:25
Speaker 1: sure there is no other person here. There was no
8:27
Speaker 1: one on the first floor. They went to the second floor.
8:30
Speaker 1: They peaked around up there, they didn't see anyone. So
8:32
Speaker 1: they rushed back down to Ronald, who's still just sitting there,
8:35
Speaker 1: and they begin administering first aid, and they're trying to
8:38
Speaker 1: get him to explain what happened, How did you get hurt?
8:41
Speaker 1: But Ronald is clearly in shock, he's kind of in
8:43
Speaker 1: a daze.
8:43
Speaker 2: He's not making sense.
8:45
Speaker 1: And then by the time the paramedics showed up just
8:47
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes later, Ronald had slipped into unconsciousness.
8:50
Speaker 1: When Ronald was wheeled out of the house, the responding
8:54
Speaker 1: officers and the backup officers, who by now had arrived,
8:57
Speaker 1: decided to search the rest of Ronald's house to see
8:59
Speaker 1: if there was some clue as to what had happened,
9:02
Speaker 1: And so they began searching in the kitchen, looking around,
9:04
Speaker 1: but there wasn't anything that stood out to them, and
9:06
Speaker 1: then they began walking around towards the living room, and
9:09
Speaker 1: when they got into the living room, one of the
9:11
Speaker 1: officers suddenly screamed to everyone inside to stop where they
9:15
Speaker 1: were stop moving. It would turn out Ronald, as part
9:19
Speaker 1: of his very beefed up home security system, had installed
9:22
Speaker 1: various booby traps all around his property, including inside of
9:26
Speaker 1: his house, and some of these traps were gun booby traps.
9:30
Speaker 1: The officer that had yelled for everyone to stop had
9:33
Speaker 1: spotted one of these traps. He saw a handgun anchored
9:36
Speaker 1: to the ceiling aimed at the front door, and there
9:39
Speaker 1: was a string attached to the trigger that was also
9:42
Speaker 1: then attached to the doorknob of the front door. And
9:44
Speaker 1: so if this trap were live and some person opened
9:48
Speaker 1: the front door, it would activate this trap, causing the
9:51
Speaker 1: gun to shoot them. And so clearly Ronald had accidentally
9:55
Speaker 1: left this particular booby trap on and he had accidentally
9:59
Speaker 1: activated it, shooting himself. And so after the officer sees
10:03
Speaker 1: this gun anchored to the ceiling, he tells everyone and
10:06
Speaker 1: they begin looking up and just looking around to see
10:09
Speaker 1: if there are other traps, and amazingly, there are in
10:12
Speaker 1: other doorways just from where they're standing, they can see
10:15
Speaker 1: the barrels of guns pointing down that.
10:18
Speaker 2: Are obvious booby traps.
10:20
Speaker 1: In their haste to get in there and figure out
10:22
Speaker 1: what was going on, they hadn't noticed all of these
10:24
Speaker 1: guns in the ceiling, and so it was just kind
10:26
Speaker 1: of a miracle that none of the other traps had
10:29
Speaker 1: been set off.
10:30
Speaker 2: Ronald would be rushed to.
10:31
Speaker 1: The hospital that night, but he would pass away from
10:33
Speaker 1: his wound. His death would be ruled an accident, and
10:37
Speaker 1: to this day we don't know if he really was
10:39
Speaker 1: dealing with a professional thief that was stealing his tools
10:43
Speaker 1: or if it was just a figment of his imagination.
10:50
Speaker 1: Mary Serrudi had a difficult childhood, growing up in the
10:54
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties and early nineteen sixties in Houston, Texas. Mary's
10:58
Speaker 1: family barely had enough money to get by, and then
11:01
Speaker 1: by the time Mary was twenty one, both of her
11:03
Speaker 1: parents had passed away, leaving her with nothing. After their deaths,
11:07
Speaker 1: Mary kind of bounced around Houston, going from one low
11:10
Speaker 1: paying job to the next, and then eventually she met
11:13
Speaker 1: a man that she fell madly in love with and
11:15
Speaker 1: they got married, but unfortunately that marriage would end in divorce.
11:19
Speaker 1: After Mary got over that heartbreak, she would meet another
11:22
Speaker 1: man who she would also fall in love with and
11:24
Speaker 1: they would get married too, but like her first marriage,
11:27
Speaker 1: this one also ended in divorce. At this point, Mary
11:31
Speaker 1: was so devastated by yet another heartbreak that she just
11:34
Speaker 1: kind of accepted that she was not going to get
11:36
Speaker 1: married again. She was not going to have a family
11:39
Speaker 1: of her own. But she didn't let this get her down. Instead,
11:42
Speaker 1: she kind of embraced her life as a loner. Fast
11:45
Speaker 1: forward to twenty fifteen and Mary was sixty one years
11:48
Speaker 1: old and she was still living alone. She lived in
11:51
Speaker 1: a small home in a Houston neighborhood. This neighborhood, over
11:54
Speaker 1: the last several decades had really begun to grow.
11:57
Speaker 2: Lots of new apartment.
11:58
Speaker 1: Complexes were being built all the day time, and in fact,
12:01
Speaker 1: one of the apartment developers had approached Mary and offered
12:05
Speaker 1: to buy her house so they could build over her land,
12:07
Speaker 1: but she had refused because she loved her house. She
12:10
Speaker 1: did not want to sell. It didn't matter what they
12:11
Speaker 1: offered her, and so she was the only house in
12:14
Speaker 1: this long stretch of apartment buildings that didn't sell. But
12:17
Speaker 1: Mary kind of liked it. She wrote in her diary
12:20
Speaker 1: that her bungalow was like a castle, and all these
12:23
Speaker 1: apartment buildings all around her were her castle walls. Mary
12:27
Speaker 1: didn't really have much contact with other people. She didn't
12:30
Speaker 1: have a consistent job, so she didn't have relationships with
12:33
Speaker 1: co workers. She didn't have much contact, if any, with
12:36
Speaker 1: her living family, and she really didn't have any friends,
12:39
Speaker 1: with the exception of one woman who was in town
12:41
Speaker 1: who owned an arts and craft shop, whom Mary would
12:44
Speaker 1: periodically go into town and say hello to. But despite
12:47
Speaker 1: all that, Mary was not lonely. She had lots and
12:51
Speaker 1: lots of cats, and she loved cats. Anytime she saw
12:55
Speaker 1: a stray cat out in the neighborhood, Mary would get
12:58
Speaker 1: the cat food and water, and eventually would try to
13:00
Speaker 1: coax the cat to come into her house, and then
13:03
Speaker 1: when it did, she would win the cat's trust, and
13:05
Speaker 1: then she would give it a place to live, and
13:07
Speaker 1: she would feed it and take care of it. And
13:08
Speaker 1: so before long she had dozens of cats living in
13:11
Speaker 1: the house with her, and so these cats kind of
13:13
Speaker 1: became Mary's best friends, and so she rarely left the house.
13:17
Speaker 1: If ever, she mostly just stayed in the house with them.
13:20
Speaker 1: In February of that year, one of Mary's neighbors happened
13:24
Speaker 1: to be walking by her property and they looked over
13:26
Speaker 1: and they saw a stack of mail had grown on
13:29
Speaker 1: her front porch, indicating that Mary had not opened her
13:32
Speaker 1: door to get her mail. And this neighbor also noticed
13:34
Speaker 1: that while Mary's property did tend to get a little
13:37
Speaker 1: bit overgrown with the trees in the grass, it was
13:40
Speaker 1: exceptionally overgrown, like no one was even trying to take
13:44
Speaker 1: care of it. And so this neighbor was concerned that
13:46
Speaker 1: maybe something had happened to Mary, and so they opened
13:49
Speaker 1: up her fence, they walked across the yard, they went
13:51
Speaker 1: up onto the porch, and they knocked on the front door,
13:54
Speaker 1: but it was silent, and so this neighbor kind of
13:56
Speaker 1: leaned over and looked in the window that was just
13:58
Speaker 1: to the left of the door to see if maybe
14:00
Speaker 1: they could look inside, but there was a curtain drawn
14:03
Speaker 1: across that window, so they couldn't see anything. And so
14:05
Speaker 1: the neighbor tried knocking on the door one more time,
14:07
Speaker 1: but again met with silence, and so after standing there
14:10
Speaker 1: for a minute, the neighbor left the front porch and
14:12
Speaker 1: walked around to the side of the house to see
14:14
Speaker 1: if maybe they could look in one of those windows,
14:16
Speaker 1: but when they went around to the side, those windows
14:18
Speaker 1: were covered with curtains too. So the neighbor walked back
14:21
Speaker 1: to the front of the property and just stood there
14:23
Speaker 1: looking at the house, wondering what they should do. And
14:25
Speaker 1: something told them that something's off, something's wrong. Someone needs
14:29
Speaker 1: to make sure Mary really is okay. Someone needs to
14:31
Speaker 1: get inside of this house. And so the neighbor called
14:33
Speaker 1: the Houston police and explained the situation. A few minutes later,
14:36
Speaker 1: the Houston police arrived and they two went right off
14:39
Speaker 1: onto Mary's porch. They knocked on her door, they was
14:42
Speaker 1: met with silence, and so after that the police talked
14:45
Speaker 1: to one of the other neighbors and got a key
14:47
Speaker 1: that Mary had apparently given them previously, and the police
14:50
Speaker 1: went back to Mary's front door that used the key.
14:52
Speaker 1: They unlocked the door if they opened it up, and
14:54
Speaker 1: right away they were hit with this horrible smell coming
14:57
Speaker 1: from inside the house. The police pushed the door the
14:59
Speaker 1: rest of the word way open and they stepped inside
15:01
Speaker 1: and they yelled out for Mary, but it was silent.
15:04
Speaker 1: And then before the police even began walking around looking
15:07
Speaker 1: for her, they looked off to their left and the
15:09
Speaker 1: right inside of the house, and they saw there were
15:12
Speaker 1: all these dead cats all over the ground. And so
15:15
Speaker 1: the Houston police didn't know what happened to Mary, but
15:18
Speaker 1: right away they're thinking, Okay, you know, we've seen scenarios
15:21
Speaker 1: like this before where someone who lives alone that no
15:24
Speaker 1: one really checks on dies unexpectedly, and then when they
15:27
Speaker 1: pass away, all of their pets are trapped in the house.
15:30
Speaker 1: They're not getting fed, and so they pass away too.
15:32
Speaker 1: And so the police at this point are fully expecting
15:35
Speaker 1: to find Mary's dead bodies somewhere in the house, and
15:39
Speaker 1: so they begin walking through the house looking for it,
15:41
Speaker 1: but after searching the house top to bottom, they could
15:44
Speaker 1: not find Mary, and so the police leave Mary's house
15:47
Speaker 1: and at this point there are people outside gathered because
15:50
Speaker 1: they see the police cars, and so the police grabbed
15:52
Speaker 1: a couple of the neighbors and they asked them, you know,
15:54
Speaker 1: do you know anything about this woman? You know, did
15:56
Speaker 1: she say anything about where she was going?
15:57
Speaker 2: Did you see her leave at any point?
15:59
Speaker 1: And the consensus amongst the neighbors they spoke to was
16:03
Speaker 1: that Mary basically kept to herself. She did not travel,
16:06
Speaker 1: she didn't go anywhere. She mostly just stayed in her
16:08
Speaker 1: house with her cats, and so it was very unlikely
16:11
Speaker 1: that she would have just abandoned the property and abandoned
16:14
Speaker 1: her cats because she loved.
16:15
Speaker 2: Them so much.
16:16
Speaker 1: And so the police at this point are thinking, Okay,
16:18
Speaker 1: she's got to be in this house somewhere, and so
16:20
Speaker 1: the police called a few more officers to the property
16:22
Speaker 1: and the group went back inside of Mary's house and
16:25
Speaker 1: they really looked for Mary, thinking that, you know, maybe
16:28
Speaker 1: she slipped into a closet and that's where she passed away,
16:31
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe she's just hidden somewhere in the house,
16:33
Speaker 1: and so they really kind of ripped the house apart
16:36
Speaker 1: looking for her, but again there was just nothing. And
16:39
Speaker 1: so after they finally stopped the search without finding Mary,
16:42
Speaker 1: the police contacted Mary's extended family and asked them the
16:46
Speaker 1: same questions, you know, if did Mary say anything about
16:48
Speaker 1: a trip she was going to take, you know, is
16:49
Speaker 1: there any reason she would just abandon her property? And
16:52
Speaker 1: they all would say, look, we don't talk to Mary,
16:54
Speaker 1: we don't know where she went, we have no idea.
16:56
Speaker 1: And so for a little while, the Houston police continued
16:59
Speaker 1: to search for Mary in and around Houston, but eventually,
17:02
Speaker 1: after finding nothing. The search kind of stopped, and they
17:05
Speaker 1: reached out to Mary's family and said, you know, if
17:08
Speaker 1: you hear anything else about what happened to Mary, please
17:10
Speaker 1: let us know. Several months later, Mary's house went into
17:13
Speaker 1: foreclosure because no one was making the payments anymore, and
17:16
Speaker 1: the bank put her house up for auction, and a
17:19
Speaker 1: real estate entrepreneur in Houston bought the house up quickly,
17:22
Speaker 1: and after cleaning it out, he put it on the
17:24
Speaker 1: market to be rented out. And for the next couple
17:26
Speaker 1: of years, several tenants lived in Mary's old house, none
17:29
Speaker 1: of them staying for very long. Then, in March of
17:32
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, when the property was vacant, this young couple
17:35
Speaker 1: reached out to the landlord and said they were looking
17:37
Speaker 1: to rent and they were hoping to potentially stay in
17:40
Speaker 1: this property for two or three years. The landlord was
17:43
Speaker 1: thrilled and he sent over a lease for them to sign.
17:45
Speaker 1: And then once the couple had signed the lease and
17:47
Speaker 1: the property was theirs, the husband decided to just go
17:50
Speaker 1: over on his own and walk around the property and
17:52
Speaker 1: see what they would need to buy in terms of furnishings.
17:55
Speaker 1: And so the husband arrives at the property he goes
17:57
Speaker 1: in the front door.
17:58
Speaker 2: He walks around the first floor, and.
18:00
Speaker 1: Then at some point he decides he wants to go
18:02
Speaker 1: up into the attic to see how much storage space
18:04
Speaker 1: they have, and so he gets underneath the trap door
18:06
Speaker 1: and the ceiling. He grabs the string and he pulls
18:09
Speaker 1: it down, revealing this folded up ladder. He flips down
18:12
Speaker 1: the lower ladder piece and puts it on the ground,
18:14
Speaker 1: and then he began climbing up. Once he got up
18:16
Speaker 1: into the attic, he stayed standing on the ladder and
18:19
Speaker 1: just kind of scanned around, and.
18:21
Speaker 2: He saw there really wasn't much up there.
18:22
Speaker 1: There was a couple of metal cages that appeared to
18:24
Speaker 1: have been for pets or something, but it was very
18:27
Speaker 1: dirty and dark, and it appeared like no one had
18:29
Speaker 1: really come up here in a long time, and he
18:31
Speaker 1: kind of assumed that the other tenants weren't using this
18:34
Speaker 1: as a storage space.
18:35
Speaker 2: And so the husband was about.
18:36
Speaker 1: To go back down the ladder when he noticed off
18:39
Speaker 1: to the right side of the attic, kind of far
18:41
Speaker 1: away from the ladder, right where the roof begins to
18:43
Speaker 1: pitch down, he saw one of the floorboards was kind
18:46
Speaker 1: of popped up like it shouldn't be, and he stared
18:49
Speaker 1: at it, and he's looking around at the rest of
18:50
Speaker 1: the attic, and all of the floorboards were perfectly uniform,
18:53
Speaker 1: but that one was really jacked up, and so he
18:55
Speaker 1: was curious, and so he climbed up into the attic
18:58
Speaker 1: and he kind of stooped down and he walked over
19:00
Speaker 1: to this loose floorboard. And when he was standing over it,
19:03
Speaker 1: he could tell that this floorboard had kind of popped
19:06
Speaker 1: off of this hole in the ground. That the floorboard
19:08
Speaker 1: had been covering this hole. But the hole was dark,
19:11
Speaker 1: and so he pulled out his phone and he turned
19:12
Speaker 1: on his flashlight and he looked straight down and he
19:15
Speaker 1: aimed the light into this hole. Now, this hole was
19:17
Speaker 1: basically just a gap between two of the walls on
19:20
Speaker 1: the first floor, and so he's shining his light down
19:22
Speaker 1: into this gap and he sees at the bottom the
19:25
Speaker 1: remains of the woman the Houston Police have been looking
19:28
Speaker 1: for for the past two years, Mary Serrudi. While no
19:31
Speaker 1: one knows for sure exactly what happened to her, it's
19:34
Speaker 1: believed back in early twenty fifteen, when she went missing,
19:38
Speaker 1: she had gone up into the attic, where perhaps her
19:41
Speaker 1: cats liked to sunbathe off to the side of the
19:43
Speaker 1: attic because there was a big window that looked into
19:46
Speaker 1: the attic, and so she went up there too, maybe feed.
19:48
Speaker 2: The cats or check on the cats that were up there.
19:51
Speaker 1: And when she walked over to that side at the
19:53
Speaker 1: attic where the window looked in, she stepped on that
19:56
Speaker 1: loose floorboard and it gave out from her weight and
19:59
Speaker 1: she kind of fell through it like a trap door
20:01
Speaker 1: and fell down into that gap between the walls. It's
20:04
Speaker 1: unlikely she was hurt from this fall, but when she
20:08
Speaker 1: stood back up again in this kind of narrow space,
20:10
Speaker 1: she would have realized very quickly that there was nowhere
20:13
Speaker 1: for her to go. You can't go left, you can't
20:15
Speaker 1: go right, and you can't get back up into the attic.
20:18
Speaker 1: It was too far up for her to reach, and
20:20
Speaker 1: there was no way for her to kind of use
20:22
Speaker 1: the walls to climb back up because the space she
20:24
Speaker 1: was in was so narrow, I mean, she could barely move.
20:27
Speaker 1: She also didn't have a cell phone on her, so
20:29
Speaker 1: she couldn't call anyone. If she screamed out, no one
20:31
Speaker 1: would have heard her because she was behind several walls
20:34
Speaker 1: of insulation, and because no one ever checked on her.
20:38
Speaker 1: There was no one that was just going to find
20:40
Speaker 1: her trapped in the wall. She was totally on her
20:42
Speaker 1: own and so trapped in this little space. Mary spent
20:46
Speaker 1: probably a couple of days screaming and trying to get
20:49
Speaker 1: her way out, but nothing worked, and then eventually she
20:52
Speaker 1: passed away and then unfortunately aliver Cats did too.
20:56
Speaker 2: Her death was ruled an accident.
21:02
Speaker 1: In the spring of twenty seventeen, Antonio Navarette was on
21:06
Speaker 1: top of the world. Just a year earlier, the twenty
21:09
Speaker 1: one year old Florida resident had met the love of
21:11
Speaker 1: his life, a young woman named Daisy Martinez, and now
21:15
Speaker 1: Daisy was pregnant and so she and Antonio were very
21:18
Speaker 1: excited about starting a family together. For the time being,
21:21
Speaker 1: Antonio and Daisy were living with Antonio's parents in his
21:24
Speaker 1: hometown of Waimama, which is a quiet rural suburb just
21:28
Speaker 1: south of Tampa. But Antonio had a bright future ahead
21:31
Speaker 1: of him. Ever since he had graduated high school, he
21:34
Speaker 1: knew what he wanted to do with his life. He
21:35
Speaker 1: wanted to be an auto mechanic, and he had the
21:38
Speaker 1: skills to do it. From the time he was a toddler,
21:40
Speaker 1: he had always been obsessed with cars, breaking apart his
21:43
Speaker 1: toy cars and putting them back together, and then as
21:46
Speaker 1: he got a little bit older, he began drawing these
21:48
Speaker 1: very intricate drawings of cars that he loved, or designs
21:52
Speaker 1: for new cars. And then when he was a teenager,
21:54
Speaker 1: he began actually tinkering around with real cars until he
21:57
Speaker 1: finally acquired a car of his own. It was a
22:00
Speaker 1: white Chevy lowrider pickup truck that he tricked out with
22:03
Speaker 1: all these fancy lights and special rims and this huge
22:06
Speaker 1: sound system that.
22:07
Speaker 2: Took up most of his back seat.
22:09
Speaker 1: It was thanks in part to this truck, which he
22:11
Speaker 1: nicknamed Casper, that Antonio, who was too shy to be
22:15
Speaker 1: much of a ladies man, met up with Daisy. In
22:18
Speaker 1: the first place. Antonio had driven Casper to a local
22:21
Speaker 1: car meetup for other car enthusiasts where you could basically
22:25
Speaker 1: park your vehicle and you could walk around and see
22:27
Speaker 1: what other people did to upgrade or enhance their vehicles.
22:30
Speaker 1: And so while Antonio was there, he was walking around
22:33
Speaker 1: when he saw on the far side of this meetup
22:36
Speaker 1: there was this unbelievably beautiful young woman, and he found
22:40
Speaker 1: himself just staring at her. He couldn't help it, and
22:42
Speaker 1: this young woman, who was Daisy, she eventually would look
22:46
Speaker 1: up and she would smile at him, and the rest,
22:48
Speaker 1: as they say, was history. Six months later, not long
22:51
Speaker 1: after Daisy had moved in with Antonio at his parents'
22:54
Speaker 1: house and the couple had announced to their delighted families
22:57
Speaker 1: that they were going to have a baby, Antonio got
23:00
Speaker 1: another good piece of news. He'd landed a good job
23:03
Speaker 1: with a company that did maintenance work for Tampa Electric
23:06
Speaker 1: Company's Big Bend power plant, which was located in Apollo, Florida,
23:10
Speaker 1: which was about ten miles to the east of Antonio's
23:13
Speaker 1: parents' home. Now, this was not Antonio's dream job. He
23:16
Speaker 1: still very much wanted to eventually become an auto mechanic,
23:20
Speaker 1: but this job paid twelve bucks an hour, nearly double
23:24
Speaker 1: what he was used to making, and so with this job,
23:27
Speaker 1: he and Daisy would finally be able to raise enough
23:30
Speaker 1: money to get a place of their own, hopefully before
23:32
Speaker 1: the baby.
23:33
Speaker 2: Arrived that fall.
23:34
Speaker 1: Also, Antonio had been told by other people who worked
23:37
Speaker 1: at this company that this was actually a really easy
23:39
Speaker 1: job that pretty much he just rolled around on golf
23:42
Speaker 1: carts all day picking up trash.
23:43
Speaker 2: It was perfect.
23:44
Speaker 1: A few weeks later, on June twenty fourth, Antonio found
23:47
Speaker 1: himself driving in his truck to the Big Bend Power
23:50
Speaker 1: Plant for his first day on the job. As he drove,
23:53
Speaker 1: he would have glanced over at the picture of Daisy
23:55
Speaker 1: he had taped to his dashboard.
23:57
Speaker 2: She was the only woman he had ever loved besides.
24:00
Speaker 1: When Antonio arrived at the Big Bend Power Plant, he
24:04
Speaker 1: was totally amazed at just how.
24:06
Speaker 2: Enormous this thing was.
24:07
Speaker 1: It was basically this huge factory that sat right up
24:10
Speaker 1: against the water, and there were four huge smoke stacks
24:13
Speaker 1: coming out of the ceiling of this factory with white
24:16
Speaker 1: smoke billowing out of them. This plant produced electricity, and
24:20
Speaker 1: they did this by burning coal. This process was done
24:23
Speaker 1: in four distinct units that were inside of this factory
24:27
Speaker 1: that Antonio was looking at. And each of these units
24:30
Speaker 1: is comprised of a humongous boiler, which is basically a
24:35
Speaker 1: twelve story tall oven. And so coal is loaded into
24:39
Speaker 1: this huge boiler and it burns at the bottom of
24:42
Speaker 1: the boiler, creating some steam, and that steam goes up
24:45
Speaker 1: the boiler and begins to turn these huge turbines creating
24:48
Speaker 1: the electricity. And then the steam just continues up the
24:51
Speaker 1: boiler and then out its respective smokestack into the air.
24:54
Speaker 1: In newer units, the airborne ash, which is a natural
24:59
Speaker 1: byproduct of coal, is captured inside of the boiler. But
25:04
Speaker 1: at Big Bend, three of their four units were built
25:07
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies, so they were older models and
25:10
Speaker 1: they did not capture the airborne ash inside the boilers. Instead,
25:15
Speaker 1: the ash would get heated up so much that it
25:17
Speaker 1: would melt and turn into a substance called slag, which
25:21
Speaker 1: basically is molten.
25:23
Speaker 2: Lava, like the stuff that comes out of volcanoes. That's
25:25
Speaker 2: what slag is.
25:26
Speaker 1: And so as this slag kind of builds up inside
25:30
Speaker 1: of the boiler, it would go through this man size
25:33
Speaker 1: hole at the very bottom of the boiler, and right
25:36
Speaker 1: below that hole is this thirty foot tall water tank
25:39
Speaker 1: called a cooling tank, and this red hot slag it
25:42
Speaker 1: basically dumps down into that water, which cools it off,
25:45
Speaker 1: turning it into these kind of glassy rocks, and then
25:48
Speaker 1: they settle at the bottom of this thirty foot cooling tank.
25:52
Speaker 1: And at the bottom of the cooling tank is this
25:55
Speaker 1: grinding mechanism that pulls these hardened, cooled off little boulders
25:59
Speaker 1: of slag into it, and it crushes them up and
26:02
Speaker 1: spits them out on the other side as little tiny
26:04
Speaker 1: bits of slag chips, and then these chips get sold
26:08
Speaker 1: for use in everything from sandpaper to roofing shingles. So
26:11
Speaker 1: after Antonio had spent several minutes just admiring this gargantuan
26:16
Speaker 1: building he would be working in, he gathered up his things,
26:18
Speaker 1: he hopped out of his truck, and he headed toward
26:20
Speaker 1: the front doors. That day and the next couple of
26:23
Speaker 1: days were very uneventful for Antonio. He basically just sat
26:27
Speaker 1: in a break room and watched videos about safety and training,
26:30
Speaker 1: and then when he wasn't doing that, he was out
26:32
Speaker 1: trying to navigate around the inside of this huge factory,
26:36
Speaker 1: which is basically this huge maze, and he found very
26:39
Speaker 1: quickly that it was a very hazardous place to work,
26:41
Speaker 1: as there were huge trucks moving around inside of it,
26:43
Speaker 1: it was super loud, and there was just heavy machinery
26:47
Speaker 1: operating constantly all around you. But after several days of
26:50
Speaker 1: just kind of walking around and asking people what things were,
26:53
Speaker 1: Antonio felt like he had a pretty good handle on
26:55
Speaker 1: the layout and also on what his job would entail
26:57
Speaker 1: on Thursday, June twenty ninth, so just four days into
27:01
Speaker 1: doing this new job, Antonio woke up in his parent's
27:04
Speaker 1: house in a really good mood because the next day,
27:07
Speaker 1: that Friday, Daisy was going in for an ultrasound and
27:09
Speaker 1: they were going to find out whether their baby was
27:12
Speaker 1: a boy or a girl. And he was very excited
27:14
Speaker 1: about this, and so Antonio came downstairs, he grabbed a
27:17
Speaker 1: quick fight to eat, and then he kissed Daisy on
27:19
Speaker 1: the cheek and he had it outside into his truck
27:21
Speaker 1: and began the commute to work. A few hours later,
27:24
Speaker 1: Antonio's mother was in the grocery store when she pulled
27:26
Speaker 1: her phone out of her purse and she noticed Antonio
27:29
Speaker 1: had called her and she missed it, but he had
27:32
Speaker 1: left a voicemail, and so she played the voicemail and
27:34
Speaker 1: then put the phone to her ear, and what she
27:37
Speaker 1: heard was quite possibly the most traumatic thing a mother
27:40
Speaker 1: could ever hear from their child. After leaving the house
27:43
Speaker 1: that morning, Antonio drove all the way to work, no problem.
27:46
Speaker 1: He parked in the lot, he went inside the building,
27:49
Speaker 1: and initially the day was like any other day. He
27:52
Speaker 1: just kind of drove around the facility and picked up
27:54
Speaker 1: trash and that was it. But just a couple of
27:56
Speaker 1: hours into his shift, two fairly significant issue shoes arose
28:00
Speaker 1: simultaneously inside of Unit two. In the boiler, the slag
28:06
Speaker 1: that was building up had somehow created a sort of
28:08
Speaker 1: plug over that man sized hole where the slag was
28:12
Speaker 1: supposed to dump into the water chamber, and so as
28:15
Speaker 1: more and more slag was being created as the ash melted,
28:18
Speaker 1: it wasn't draining into that chamber, and so all of
28:21
Speaker 1: this slag was just building up on top of itself
28:24
Speaker 1: inside of the boiler and then in the water chamber,
28:27
Speaker 1: completely unconnected from the issue in the boiler. The slag
28:31
Speaker 1: that had fallen into the water chamber that had cooled
28:34
Speaker 1: and settled at the bottom, it had landed in such
28:37
Speaker 1: a way that it actually blocked the grinding mechanism, and
28:40
Speaker 1: so none of the cooled slag, boulders and rocks were
28:43
Speaker 1: being ground up and expelled out.
28:45
Speaker 2: The other side.
28:46
Speaker 1: And so they needed to fix these two issues quickly,
28:48
Speaker 1: otherwise Unit two would become basically ineffective. Now, the safe
28:52
Speaker 1: way to fix these two blockages would be to start
28:56
Speaker 1: by turning off Unit two's boiler, and then once it
29:00
Speaker 1: was off, you could drop dynamite into the boiler itself
29:04
Speaker 1: and break up the blockage over the man's sized.
29:07
Speaker 2: Hole, and you could send a team into.
29:09
Speaker 1: The water chamber after you drained it to chip away
29:12
Speaker 1: and move the blockage over the grinding mechanism. However, turning
29:16
Speaker 1: a boiler off at a power plant is extremely expensive,
29:21
Speaker 1: and so the Tampa Electric Company decided, you know what,
29:24
Speaker 1: let's just have them fix these blockages without turning the
29:28
Speaker 1: boiler off. And so at four in the afternoon, a
29:31
Speaker 1: senior plant manager rounded up five other employees, which included Antonio,
29:36
Speaker 1: to come with him and do these repairs inside of
29:39
Speaker 1: Unit two. And so the plan was to empty all
29:42
Speaker 1: the water from the cooling chamber of Unit two, and
29:44
Speaker 1: then once it was empty, they would open something called
29:47
Speaker 1: the doghouse store, which is on the outside of the
29:49
Speaker 1: cooling chamber towards the bottom. They would open that up,
29:52
Speaker 1: giving them a line of sight into the bottom of
29:55
Speaker 1: this cooling chamber where that grinding mechanism was, where all
29:59
Speaker 1: those slag rocks kind of come to a stop on
30:01
Speaker 1: top of it. And they would fire water cannons into
30:05
Speaker 1: the bottom of this cooling chamber to attempt to dislodge
30:09
Speaker 1: these slag rocks off of the grinding mechanism, and then
30:12
Speaker 1: after they cleared that blockage, they would shut the doghouse
30:15
Speaker 1: store and they would somehow deal with the blockage inside
30:18
Speaker 1: of the boiler. But that felt like a secondary issue.
30:21
Speaker 1: They needed to make sure the grinding mechanism was cleared
30:23
Speaker 1: before they did anything else. Now you need to understand
30:26
Speaker 1: that this company had asked their employees to do this
30:30
Speaker 1: type of repair before, to do it with the boiler
30:32
Speaker 1: still on, and in the past nothing bad had ever happened,
30:36
Speaker 1: and so these six guys, including Antonio, must have thought
30:40
Speaker 1: this was just totally routine, that we would never be
30:42
Speaker 1: asked to do something like this if it was extremely hazardous.
30:46
Speaker 1: But it would turn out what they were doing, making
30:48
Speaker 1: these repairs with the boiler still on was quite possibly
30:51
Speaker 1: the most hazardous thing they could possibly do at this plant,
30:55
Speaker 1: But either way, the six man team made their way
30:58
Speaker 1: over to Unit two and they began taking up positions
31:01
Speaker 1: with their water cannons right in front of the doghouse store.
31:04
Speaker 1: Antonio's job for this operation was actually not to be
31:08
Speaker 1: involved in getting the slag free. He was just going
31:11
Speaker 1: to be there to clean up during and after the operation,
31:14
Speaker 1: and so he stood kind of in front of the
31:16
Speaker 1: doghouse store, but maybe ten or fifteen feet back, just
31:19
Speaker 1: kind of standing back watching the other guys do their jobs. Now,
31:22
Speaker 1: you need to understand the scale of the machinery. In
31:25
Speaker 1: front of Antonio and these other men. You have the
31:28
Speaker 1: water chamber, which is thirty feet tall, and then above
31:32
Speaker 1: the water chamber is the twelve story tall boiler that
31:36
Speaker 1: is still on. So there's coal actively burning inside of it.
31:40
Speaker 1: There's red hot slag so like lava, just kind of
31:44
Speaker 1: tumbling around inside of it. And the steam inside of
31:47
Speaker 1: this boiler is well over a thousand degrees fahrenheit. And
31:51
Speaker 1: so they are dwarfed by this totally dangerous piece of machinery.
31:55
Speaker 1: But eventually their operation begins. The senior plant manager has
32:00
Speaker 1: the water chamber drained, and then after it's empty, they
32:03
Speaker 1: opened the doghouse door, and Antonio watched as the other
32:06
Speaker 1: five men took turns with their water cannons, firing them
32:09
Speaker 1: through the store at the big slag rocks that are
32:12
Speaker 1: sitting on top of the grinding mechanism. And it wasn't
32:15
Speaker 1: really working that well, but they were starting to make
32:17
Speaker 1: some progress and Antonio likely was just kind of getting
32:20
Speaker 1: bored waiting for this to be over because there really
32:22
Speaker 1: wasn't much for him to do. There wasn't much cleanup.
32:24
Speaker 1: And then as he's standing there, something horrible happened. Because
32:28
Speaker 1: the boiler had been left on, all that ash was
32:32
Speaker 1: still getting melted and turned into slag, and the slag
32:36
Speaker 1: was not being drained because that plug had formed over
32:39
Speaker 1: the man's sized.
32:40
Speaker 2: Hole in the boiler.
32:41
Speaker 1: And see of all this slag that's building up, it's
32:44
Speaker 1: getting heavier and heavier and heavier. And about twenty minutes
32:47
Speaker 1: into their cleanup operation, the weight of all that slag
32:51
Speaker 1: broke through that plug, immediately creating an opening where all
32:55
Speaker 1: this red hot slag, this lava came tumbling down. It
33:00
Speaker 1: rebounded on the back end of the empty water tank
33:03
Speaker 1: and shot out of the doghouse door like a tidal
33:06
Speaker 1: wave of hell fire. And in seconds, thousands of gallons
33:10
Speaker 1: of this lava like substance was all over all six men.
33:15
Speaker 1: It was like a wave going over them. And then
33:17
Speaker 1: after the slag hits the ground, they were all standing
33:21
Speaker 1: in six inches of basically lava that stretched in forty
33:25
Speaker 1: feet in any direction. Now, unlike trying to run in
33:29
Speaker 1: let's say mud or deep water. We were just kind
33:31
Speaker 1: of moving slowly. Every step you take in this slag,
33:35
Speaker 1: basically your foot melts into the slag. So with every step,
33:39
Speaker 1: your shoe melts, then your skin melts, then your bones
33:42
Speaker 1: melt into this substance. And so all these men, after
33:46
Speaker 1: immediately being hit with this stuff and catching on fire, literally,
33:50
Speaker 1: they likely tried to start running, but it was like
33:52
Speaker 1: their bodies were slowly consumed by this slag feet first,
33:57
Speaker 1: and so Antonio tried to run like the rest of them,
34:00
Speaker 1: but he couldn't go anywhere, and he fell onto the slags.
34:03
Speaker 2: He's laying on his side, and.
34:05
Speaker 1: As he's melting and burning to death, he reaches into
34:09
Speaker 1: his pants pocket with his free hand and he pulls
34:11
Speaker 1: his phone out and he calls his mother. She doesn't
34:14
Speaker 1: pick up, and so he leaves her a voicemail, and
34:17
Speaker 1: all he says is, Mom, Mom, I'm burning. Please call
34:21
Speaker 1: the cops, please, Mom. And in the background of this voicemail,
34:25
Speaker 1: all you hear is the hissing sound of the steam
34:28
Speaker 1: and slag pouring.
34:29
Speaker 2: Out of the boiler.
34:30
Speaker 1: In total, five of the six men that were a
34:33
Speaker 1: part of this repair operation would be killed from this
34:36
Speaker 1: tidal wave of slag.
34:38
Speaker 2: Antonio would be one of them.
34:40
Speaker 1: Tampa Electric would end up paying out a settlement to
34:42
Speaker 1: each of the families of the deceased.
34:45
Speaker 2: So that's going to do it. Guys.
