• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I am going to warn you guys right up front
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that these cases today they are gonna push me to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the edge, and I'm going to try really hard to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: keep my attitude in check. So just giving you a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: heads up, Okay, so let's get into it. So on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: September twenty eighth, twenty eleven, Christina Busel, a twenty six
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: year old mother of two, vanished while walking along Highway
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: twenty seven in Windfield, Tennessee. And that's near the Kentucky
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: state line, so they think she was possibly heading towards Pine,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: not Kentucky, which is a nearbound nearby town that she
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: frequented often. But since that day, Christina has not been
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: seen or heard from, and as you can imagine, leaving
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: her family and the community filled with anguish and uncertainty. Now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Christina's life before her disappearance was marked by both struggles
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and joys. She was known as a caring, devoted mother
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with a vibrant personality that could brighten anyone's day. She
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was really fun. If you're in a bad mood, she
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: would try to cheer you up. Recalled a family member Cooper. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: her children are her world, and her disappearance have left
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: them with unanswered questions that haunt them daily. They ask
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a lot if their mommy's dead or if they will
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: ever find her and does someone know? And Cooper shared
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: why aren't they telling? At the time of her disappearance,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Christina didn't have a car and often walked to get
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: where she needed to go. It was not unusual for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: her to walk along rural roads where she would visit
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: friends or go to the store. Now, despite her troubles
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: with some drug use, Christina made a point of staying
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in regular contact with her family, making her sudden silence
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: even more concerning. Her disappearance is totally out of character,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: leading the family and law enforcement to suspect foul play.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: In the days and weeks following Christina's disappearance, her family, friends,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and local law enforcement in both Scott County, Tennessee, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: McCreary County, Kentucky have conducted extensive searches. They've scored, scoured ponds, ditches,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: wooded areas. No traces of Christina have been found, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Cooper said, we got together right away and started searching.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Somewhere there has been foul play and someone has done
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: something to her. Now, Christina's family fear she may have
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: fallen in with the wrong crowd, possibly leading to her demise.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: She had some issues with drugs and she had taken
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that dark path, Cooper explained, But he said Christina had
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: expressed a desire to change and get her life back
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on track. Now, I remember, guys, even with her going
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: down the dark path, she kept in touch with her family,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So this is very out of character for her. Now,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for years, her family has held vigils and prayed for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: new leads, but this case has remained cold. In a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: bid for closure, they turned to a private investigator by
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the name of Joe Brideo or Brodio, we'll say Brodio,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: who took on the case pro bono after being connected
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: through a missing person's Facebook guide. Now, Brodeo is a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: retired Air Force Security Service member, and he believes that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: his independent investigation might uncover new information that law enforcement
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: could not. He said, there's people sitting there that know
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened to this woman, and they are sitting
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: around thinking, if we let this go, this guy will
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: back off soon and we will get back to our
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: life the way it was. Bridio said, well, we need
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to wake those people up. Brodio's fresh approach has already
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: generated over sixty leads in just a month. He believes
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that someone in the community knows what happened to Christina,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but getting them to come forward is the challenge. He said.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's funny someone will talk to you or me before
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they will go to a law enforcement person. They don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: trust them. Now, I can tell you we've learned that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in the special investigation into the disappearance of Chase Lackey.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We have people who have called in tips to us
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: because they don't trust law enforcement. So I believe that's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a pretty common thing. Now. As the years have passed,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the pain of Christinina's absence has not diminished for her family.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They continue to hope that someone will step forward with
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the information needed to finally bring her home. The Scott
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department maintains that Christina's case is still open
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in an ongoing investigation, so anyone with the information regarding
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Christina Bussel's disappearance is urged to either contact I Have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: an Investigator Joe Bridillo at nine three one sixty three
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: six sixteen nineteen, or the Scott County Sheriff's Department at
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: four two three sixty sixty three three one one one.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Now you can also join the Facebook page that's help
• 8:20

• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I also want to remind you you can also reach
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: out to FBI dot gov and file an anonymous tip
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: with them. Okay, guys, this next case is the one
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that I'm telling you has me pissed off, Okay, for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. So you're probably gonna want to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be prepared because you might be pissed off too. So.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Haileyann Marie Cummings was a five year old girl from
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: set Suma, Florida. She disappeared under very mysterious circumstances on
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: February tenth, two thousand and nine. Haley, who was born
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: with Turner syndrome, which is a genetic disorder affecting about
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: one in every two hundred and fifty thousand live female births,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and face with numerous health challenges and these health challenges
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: include restricted growth, heart defects, vision problems, which has required
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: her to undergo hormone treatments and regular medical checkups. She
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was very small for her age, with blonde hair that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: was highlighted with red streaks, brown eyes, and some distinctive
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: birth marks. Now her family affectionately called her Haley bug. Guys,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's very cute. Now. On the evening of February ninth,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, Haley went to bat around eight
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: pm and her family's trailer on Green Lane in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Hermit's Cove area of Satsuma, Florida. Misty Crosslin, Oh boy,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: here's where it goes. Hailey's father's seventeen year old girlfriend
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: was with her in the same room, along with Haley's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: three year old brother. Misty claimed she stayed in the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: room all night, falling asleep around ten pm. Ronald Cummings
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: h twenty five, guys, did y'all catch that girl? Friend
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is seventeen? He's twenty five, okay? Hailey's father. He returned
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: home after his second shift sometime after three am on
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: February tenth. Upon his arrival, Misty informed him that Hailey
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was missing, and that the back door of the trailer
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: was found slightly jar and the screen door had been
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: propped open with the cinder block. Around three thirty seven am,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Ronald and Misty called nine one to report the disappearance. Okay, guys,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: seventeen and twenty five. Okay, A lot of your probably
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: thinking not a big deal, but I want you to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hold on because that's not all. Now. The police found
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: no signs of horse entry, though it was unclear if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the back door had been locked, Misty and Ronald insisted
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it was, with Ronald maintaining that the trailer had been
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: broken into. Now, Hailey's younger brother told investigators that a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: man dressed in black had taken his sister. Now, authorities
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: were uncertain how much weight to give this account due
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to his age and guys An extensive search of the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: area has given them no additional clues. In the days
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: following Hailey's disappearance, Misty was questioned multiple times. She insisted
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: she had not left the trailer that night and was
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: unaware of how rumors to the contrary began. She said,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I was there the whole night. I mean. She told
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this to a reporter during an interview on February eighteenth,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: where she also shared additional details about the events leading
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: up to Hailey's disappearance. According to Misty, Haley had watched
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the movies Matagar Scar and Airbud with her brother before
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: snuggling under a blanket and a pink Hannah Montana top.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Misty initially reported that Haley was wearing that top when
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: she disappeared. However, she later found the shirt and a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: laundry pile once she was allowed back into the mobile
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: home on Monday, February sixteenth. Now Misty claims she was
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: inside to discuss the homes layout with investigators and a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: search for the clothes Hailey had worn to school on
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: her last day. Now In that same interview, Misty mentioned
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that a cousin who had been staying in Crescent City
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: for about a month with them, had returned to Tennessee
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the day Hailey disappeared. She revealed that this cousin had
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: messed with her sexually when she was a child, although
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he has never been charged and he has not been
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: deemed a sexual offender. The cousin had visited the mobile
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: home Misty shared with Ronald, but he was told not
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to return after a gun went missing in the house
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: on the day that Hailey was reported missing. Now Misty
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: met Ronald about six months before Hailey's disappearance while she
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: was babysitting for a woman who had another child with Ronald. Misty,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: who was concerned about that child well being, urged Ronald
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to take custody, and their relationship developed from there despite
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the significant age difference, Misty was only sixteen at the time. Now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Misty's father, Hank Crosslin, expressed anger initially when he learned
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that Ronald had lied about his age. First Ronald had
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: claimed to be nineteen and then twenty one. However, Hank
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: eventually accepted the situation, and despite Florida law prohibiting relations
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: between a person twenty four or older in any one
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: seventeen or younger. Okay, investigators decided not to pursue the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: matter while focusing on finding Hayley. Okay, guy, what in
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the actual hell this man is a predator? Mom, Crystal
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: was fourteen when she started seeing Ronald, fourteen, and she
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was seventeen when she got pregnant. Ronald was twenty at
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the time Haley was born. So, guys, he was with
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a miner. He started seeing her when she was fourteen,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and then she became pregnant when she was seventeen. Guys,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: why in the hell did the police not look into this?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And I do not understand why the police did not
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: look into what a twenty five year old man was
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: doing with a seventeen year old. So first he has
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a child with a miner, then he's now in a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: second relationship with a minor. How why was nothing done? Now,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: think about it. Twice that we know of Ronald had
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: sex with miners and he has not been held accountable
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: for this. I mean, in my opinion, he groomed them,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and their parents need to be held responsible for not
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: protecting their daughters and guys. That makes this whole case
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: even crazier to me, because a twenty year old does
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: not need to be with a fourteen year old, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: then a twenty five year old does not need to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: be with a seventeen year old. Okay. Now, as national
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: attention on this case grew, Misty and Ronald and their
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: families faced increasing scrutiny. You think. Court records and interviews
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: revealed a background filled with legal troubles, including drug use,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: custody disputes, and brusious with the law. Hailey's biological mother,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Christer Cheffield, had battled Ronald for custody, accusing him of violence,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: while also admitting to drug use herself. Okay. The ongoing
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: custody battle and family dynamics added to the complexities of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this investigation, but law enforcement says their priority is to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: find Haley. I mean Guys, I get that should be
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: your priority, but wouldn't that be a different department that
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: would handle the other charges missing persons? I wouldn't think
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: would handle the sex charges. I mean, I don't know now.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Initial reports stated that Haley had last been seen wearing
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a pink shirt and underwear, but the discovery of that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: shirt and the laundry pile cow's doubt on that detail,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and investigators have had to admit they are unsure what
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Haley was wearing the night she disappeared. Despite extensive searches
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and continuous media coverage, no substantial leads have surfaced. Guys,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this leaves the mystery of what happened to Haley unresolved today. Now,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Misty told police several different stories, and many feels that
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: she knows more about what happened to Haley, but she
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: has not been charged with anything in connection to the disappearance. Now,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: once again I ask, why in the hell is Misty
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: not being charged with lying to the police or obstruction.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: She's changed her story. I get she's seventeen and she
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was most likely groomed because she was only sixteen when
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: she got with Ronald. I get that, but why isn't
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: she being charged with something. And why was Ronald not
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: charged with having sex with a minor. I mean, Haley
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: hasn't been found, why not go ahead and charge them?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And I have to say, I truly do not think
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I will ever understand how law enforcements picks and chooses
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: who and when to charge people. Now, I get you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: need evidence, but I think there's plenty of evidence that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Ronald was a predator. First, you know, Haley's mom was
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: fourteen when he got with her mom. Her mom was
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: seventeen when she was born, and he was, you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: even older. And now he's twenty five and he's with
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old. That's evidence. But I will say
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that is my opinion, and I know my opinion doesn't
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: account for much when it comes to what law enforcement does.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I get that. Now. The case of Hailey is filled
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: with conflicting accounts, unanswered questions, and a family with a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: troubled past. And despite what police says has been a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: thorough investigation and national attention, she remains missing, leaving you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the loved ones with a void, but also the community. Guys,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I say this, the community is also affected. The search
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: for Haley continues, but the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a mystery because guys, we truly don't know what time
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: she went missing, what she was wearing. Was the back
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: door locked or was it left unlocked? And I'm not
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: saying that to blame Misty. I mean she was seventeen.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: There are times that doublehs asked me, hey, is the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: back door locked? And I go yeah, and then I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: find out it's not. So I get that that can happen,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: but it is sad that there's not more information. Now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Interesting tidbit, Haley's father, Ronald, was released from prison in
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: October twenty twenty two after serving time for drug trafficking,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and then he was re arrested a couple of months
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: later for drug possess and for violently resisting an officer. Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and his ex girlfriend is due to be released in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: June of twenty thirty one. So they definitely have a
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: troubled background and drug connections involved. So that to me
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: makes this even more scary about what happened to Haley. Now.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The Putnam County Sheriff's Office has previously stated they believe
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Haley is likely deceased. That is heartbreaking, However, they ask
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: if you have any information, please contact the Putnam Sheriff's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Office at three eight six three two nine zero eight
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: zero zero. And as always, I am going to ask
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you to share their missing person flyers, which will be
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: on our social media pages. And guys, I have to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: tell you, I need to share a story that made
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: me happy because that previous case, Hailey, I truly want
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to kick some butts and I think many people got
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: away with too much shit, in my opinion, and I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: want to say, if someone has information and you're protecting
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Ronald or Misty, don't don't. Let's protect Hailey. Let's do
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: what's right for Haley. Okay, now my happy story. Luis
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Armando Albino was taken from a playground in nineteen fifty
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: one in California at the age of six. A woman
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: lured Luis away from the pro the playground with the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: promise of candy. Guys, I've often said I could probably
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: be lured away with wine or puppies or maybe baby goats.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: So Louis's family did not know what happened to him
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: for seventy three years. And guys, I want you to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: think about that seventy three years of going to bed
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: every night not knowing what happened to your six year
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: old son, your six year old brother, your grandson, your nephew. Well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: guess what, guys, the family now knows. The woman who
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: abducted Louise took him and instead of giving him candy,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: put him on a flight and they flew to the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: East Coast, where she gave Louise to a couple who
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: raised him as their biological son. So he was found. Now,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: how was Louise found? DNA baby? So, Louisa's niece, who
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is sixty three, had taken a DNA test and she
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: got a match that she matched this person who's most
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: likely her uncle, at twenty two percent. So she and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: her mom went to the police and convinced the police
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to look into this. And guess what they did. On
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: June twentieth this year, the police knocked on the niece's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: door and let her know that Louise was indeed her uncle.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: On June twenty fourth, Louise met up with his niece,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: his aunt, and his siblings. Now, sadly, Luis's mother had
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: passed away in two thousand and five, but guys, she
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: died never giving up hope of finding her son. Now,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Louise in July of this year spent three weeks with
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: his brother and his family, and guys, I am so
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: glad he did. And I bet he is even more
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: glad because his brother passed away in August, so Louise
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: got to spend three weeks getting to know his brother. Now,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: when he was at the playground playing, he had gone
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: with his brother to the playground and then he got
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: lured away. Now Louise has said he is grateful for
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the time he did spend with his brother, and he
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: has chosen to stay out of the media spotlight. The
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: niece is the one who released this information because she
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: thought it would give hope to others. Now, as of today,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: police have not released the names of the parents who
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: raised Louise, and as of today, they have not released
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a statement with the name of the person who abducted Louise.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they know. We do know that
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Louise is a retired firefighter marine veteran, and he is
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a grandfather. So, guys, these things lead me to believe
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that he had a decent life and that the couple
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: who raised him went about getting a child the wrong way,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: or maybe this woman lied to them about where the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: child came from. But it will be interesting to see
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: what the police release and the future about this case.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And Guys, this story made me happy but also made
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: me sad. I'm gonna say mostly happy because this man
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: has learned the truth about his life. His family finally
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: can go to bed knowing where you know, Louise is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and the fact that he got to be when you're
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: reunited with his biological siblings and relatives is amazing and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: for me personally, it should remind all of us that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: these families should never give up hope. Seventy three years
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: they hoped and he was found alive, living a good life. Now,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not naive enough to think that's how most cases
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: will turn out, because there's a lot of bad people
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: out in the world, but this one turned out good
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and that should lead to hope that these other families
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that are missing their loved ones there is still hope
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that they can be found alive. Okay, so let's be
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: sure to share the missing person flyers. Okay, Now, I
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: want to thank you all for joining me today and

• 29:07
