• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a great community and we have great chats.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And great conversations. Okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Now, today we are headed back to Kansas, which is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: often called the Sunflower State, which I did not know.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I've been to Kansas because one of my ex
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: husbands is from Kansas. And I don't hold that against
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Kansas because my step sons still live there and they
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: were amazing.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: But beyond its.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Endless prairies and fields of wheat and sunflowers, why is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a vast landscape of more than twenty four thousand square
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: miles of rivers, reservoirs, and lakes. I didn't know there
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was that much water in Kansas. Guys did not know that, Okay. So,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and then places like Tuttle Creek Lake, Milford Lake, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: countless rural back roads draw thousands of outdoor enthusiasts every year.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: But guys, their size and remote locations also makes search
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: efforts challenging.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And according to the most recent data I could find,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Kansas currently has three hundred active missing person cases, reminding
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: us though, that behind that statistic is a family still
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: hoping for answers and a loved one who deserves to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be remembered. Okay, think about that, guys. That is three
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hundred families who go to bed every night wondering is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: their loved one safe, do they have food, have they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: been kidnapped, are they being tortured, or have they passed away.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's a lot to worry about. So think about that, okay. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: On the night of December eleventh, twenty twenty three, twenty
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one year old Leonardo Alan Day Flores, who went by
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the nickname Leo, disappeared without a trace from Kansas City, Kansas.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that's really hard to happen. Somebody
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: has to know. I haven't said it in a long
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: time because people told me they hated it. But a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: spaceship didn't just come up in the sky being down
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: something and shoot him up, okay. Et didn't come and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: bring people back. So for people to go missing without
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a trace back in twenty twenty three, somebody.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Knows something, Okay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Now, Leonardo had returned home from work around six pm
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that evening and then sometime after eleven pm he left
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: his house. Now, guys, he's a young guy.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: People do that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I know people who at eleven o'clock are just going
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: out to have dinner.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: In some cities, that's a thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So no judgment, okay, me, I like to be in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bed by then. But he wasn't necessarily out doing anything nefarious.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Now, that was the last.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Time that anyone who knew him saw or heard from him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: As concern quickly grew, friends and families began searching for answers.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: A friend later located Leonardo's vehicle abandoned in a store
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: parking lot near Call Point Park. Inside that vehicle were
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Leo's phone and wallet, two items that those closest to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: him said he would not normally leave behind. Guys, if
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you ever find my purse and my phone in my
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: car and I'm not there, something has happened. I do
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: not leave those in the car as the Okay. If
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to a place like the concert next Wednesday
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that we're going to and I can't take a.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Person, I leave it at home. Okay.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I give double H lips, gloss and credit card and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: my ID just in case. If I have pockets, I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: put them in there. Okay, guys. Sadly, since that night
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: there have been no confirmed sightings of Leonardo, and his
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: disappearance is still a mystery.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He was twenty one years old when he vanished. He
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is described as a Hispanic Latino with black hair, brown eyes,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and they say he's about five foot eight inches to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: five foot ten, one hundred and thirty one hundred and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fifty pounds. He wears glasses, has pierced ears, and has
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a distinctive red birthmark on his upper thigh. Now, his
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: family continues to search for answers, and they hope that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: someone may remember seeing Leonardo.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Or somebody will do the right thing and come forward.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, And guys, look at that beautiful mane of hair
• 8:54

  Speaker 1: have two families that I'm in the middle of talking
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to that we will be having on our show soon.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Now, next up, we're going to talk back on December fourth,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one to Kansas State University freshmen Kyle
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: David Chapman and Christopher Nathan, who went by Chris Shipley,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: vanished together while sailing on Tuttle Creek Lake in Riley County, Kansas. Guys,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: more than two decades later, neither young man has ever
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: been found. Now, Chapman was eighteen years old when he disappeared.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He was a white male with brown hair and brown eyes.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It's about six feet tall, way about one hundred and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fifty pounds. Now, Kyle was a freshman majoring in computer
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: science at Kansas State University and lived in Marlotte Hall
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on campus. Now, before college, he had been active in
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: numerous extra curricular activities. Okay, he also owned the yellow
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: fifteen foot racing sell boat that three friends used that afternoon. Now,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Christopher Nathan Shipley, who went by the name Chris, was
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: also eighteen years old. He was a white male with
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: brown eyes and brown hair. He stood about five foot
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: nine and weighed about one hundred and thirty pounds. He
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: was also a freshman majoring in animal sciences at Kansas
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: State University, which makes me wonder was he going to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: become a veterinarian because Case State has an amazing veterinary school. Now.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Back in high school, he was involved in the band Okay,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and he continued his passion for music as a member
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the k State University Marching Band. Now, after classes
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: ended on December fourth, Kyle, Chris and fellow k State
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: freshman Timothy Michael Bennett, decided to spend the afternoon sailing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on Tuttle Creek Lake. They launched Kyle's yellow fifteen foot
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: racing cell boat from the Blue Valley Yacht Club, Okay,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: leaving their shoes behind on the dock before setting out
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: on the water. Now, the three friends were far from
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: being inexperienced, okay. Kyle, Chris, and Timothy were all Eagle Scouts.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of Eagle Scouts in one place.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They were also qualified sailing instructors and experienced sailors. Now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: although temperatures that day were unusually warm for early December,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: reaching into the sixties and seventies, Okay.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: That is not warm to me, but.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That's okay, authorities did describe the sailing conditions as extremely
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: dangerous because of the strong winds. When the three students
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: failed to return, they were reported missing, triggering a large
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: scale search involving rescue boats, search dogs, a helicopter, as
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: well as ground crews, searching both with the water and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the shoreline around Tuttle Creek.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Two days after this, searchers located the sail boat adrift
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in empty near Carnahan Cove. The boats kill and rudder
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: had become detached, while the jibsail remained packed inside its bag. Guys,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I've never been sailing. I have no idea what any
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of that means to me, it sounds like the boat
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: had damage and maybe the emergency sail was still packed
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in its bag.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That same day, Timothy Bennett's body was discovered in Carnahan
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Creek on the east side of the lake, about a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: half mile from the boat. He was still wearing his
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: life jacket. Well. Authorities believe he likely died from half
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: hypothermia because the water was forty nine degrees that is cold. Okay,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But like I said, despite extensive search efforts, Kyle nor
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Chris have ever been located.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Now, the authorities did transition the mission from a rescue
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: operation to a recovery effort after determining the likelihood of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: survival was extremely low due to the cold water temperatures
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and hazardous wind conditions. Now, investigators have said they don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: suspect foul play. They do believe the three young men
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: young men encounter trouble while sailing. However, and Chris their
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: remains their bodies were not found, which is suspicious. Did
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: another boat pick them up, Did they somehow make it
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to land and then something that various happen We don't know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and their families continue to live without answers and their
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: disappearances remain open cases, so if you have any information,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: please contact the Riley County's Department or the KBI at
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: seven eight five two nine six for zero one seven. Guys,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that is sad to think that you don't know what happened.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, in all likelihood, were they you know, victims
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: of the storm? Possibly, but we don't know. So please,
• 15:54
