• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Laney said, might even be able to do it while
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we're streaming by the pool. Laney, I don't know if
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: anybody you on the internet or the YouTube's want to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: see this old lady in a swimsuit, especially not with
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a right boob. That's the doctor's calling an adventure and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that we're having to do surgery on again. But you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we might, Okay, we might. You never know. Now, guys,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I want to give you a quick update when I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: give you the Amber alert. So Delisa Fragasso, who went
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: missing May twenty five, fifth twenty six from Los Angeles
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: police have said over the weekend that Reuben for Goosso,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the man who abducted her, is now wanted on murder
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: charges in the killing of her mother, and they do
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: believe he has headed to Mexico. So guys, go look
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: at her. Picture the scary thing in with a four
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: year old like that, it is so easy to change
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the way she looks. Please keep your eyes out. They
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: are worried, Okay, they are really worried. Then the other
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: two that have been on our list since June of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: last year. We have Alan Fisher and Michelle Fisher who
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: left Idaho and they believe they're on the way to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. Okay, so please everybody always, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Okay, Now, let's get on to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: where we're going today. And guys, I am excited to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: tell y'all Wyoming. I will actually be going to Wyoming
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: next week. It's only for one night, it's on our travels,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but I'm excited because I will actually be able to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: say I've been to Wyoming. And Wyoming may be the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: least populated state in the nation, but they say it
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: has vast open spaces, which, sadly kritney creates unique challenges
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when someone goes missing. So nearly half of Wyoming's land
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is federally owned and much of the state is made
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: up of rugged mountains, high desert, remote range land, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: miles of isolated backroads. I wish we had more time
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to go experience sex. I love backroads. So in areas
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like Sweetwater County, where David Lovely disappeared, a person can
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: travel for miles without encountering another vehicle or residence. That
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: sounds scary, but also amazing at the same time. I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: mean it sounds amazing, but also Wyoming is home to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: some of the darkest night skies in the United States,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: which is a point of pride for residents and visitors.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And I cannot wait to see the sky. I can't, Okay,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I can't. So I'm sure I will be taking pictures
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe we'll get a fun video. Our
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: first case today. On July twenty fourth, nineteen ninety seven,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: twenty four year old Amy joy Row Bechdel disappeared near Lando, Wyoming, Lander, Wyoming.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should drink some water. Hold on, guys, if
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you've never been to Texas, our allergies are insane. Literally
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: watched my car Saturday, left it in the parking lot
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for two hours, came back out, and it was covered
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in pollen. It's crazy, see right now, So I'm taking
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lots of clearend. Indeed, now what should have been an
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: ordinary summer day. You know. Amy was a talented distance runner,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: an outdoor enthusiast, and someone's friends described as disciplined, quiet,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and goal oriented. Okay. She graduated from the University of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Wyoming in nineteen ninety five, and she hoped to someday
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: qualify for the Olympics. Okay, guys, that's a big dream.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That's a big dream. And she, about a year before
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: she went missing, had married Steve Bechdel. The couple had
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: also recently purchased a new home they were preparing to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: move into. So not big signs that she was planning
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on leaving her life, Okay. That morning of July twenty fourth,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Amy left the apartment she shared with her husband, Steve,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: around nine point thirty in the morning to run errand's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: connected to remove, guys, there's a lot to do. Later
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that afternoon, approximately about two point thirty, she stopped at
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a local photoshop. Employees later told investigators she appeared to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be in a hurry checked her watch several times while
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: inside the store. She got things to do. They're planning
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a move to their new home, you know, authorities believe.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Amy then drove toward the shoe Show National Forced Area
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to check the route for an upcoming ten kilometer race
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: she was organizing through her gym. Okay, guys, she's an
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: avid runner. And if y'all are new here, I don't
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: get why people run. In fact, yesterdayh and I saw
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a runner as we were coming home from somewhere, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I look at him. I'm like, I don't see anybody
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: chasing this guy. Why is he running? And he just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: rolls his eyes at me and says, not everybody feels
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that way about running, Terry, It's just you. Okay, Now, lady,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you run every day. Why who's chasing you? Is it
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: internal demons? Is it imaginary friends? Why? Why? Just tell
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: me why? I would rather swim a couple of miles
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in the pool, So I'm a lapse swimmer. But that's okay.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Lama's here, Hello, Lama. I can tell y'all Lama's not
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: running either, unless someone's chasing her. She and I agree
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: with that, okay. Now, she was an avid runner, as
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: we learn, They believe she may have gone jogging along
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the loop route in the wind River Mountain sometime that afternoon,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: so a footprint similar to the Adidas trail shoes she
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: had been wearing were found in the area, but it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was destroyed before investigators could compare it. Guys, she never
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: returned home, okay. Steve, her husband, arrived back at the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: couple's apartment around four point thirty that after after spending
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the day with friends and at First, they said he
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: was not concerned when Amy was not there, but as
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the evening hours passed and she still had not returned,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he began to get concerned. Okay, And they said at
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: ten thirty pm he called authorities. Now, guys, I have
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to tell you, And maybe it's just me and double H,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but if I tell him I'm going to be home
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: mid afternoon, if he hasn't heard from me by like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: three or four, he is blowing up my phone to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: make sure I'm okay. Now, he just checks, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to see where I'm at, to make sure I'm not
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: down some side street or lost somewhere. I can tell you,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: by eight, he would be calling the police because he
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: knows I'm not going to go missing on my own. Okay. Now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Shortly after Amy was reported missing, searchers located her white
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Toyota station wagon abandoned along Loop Road near the wind
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: River Mountains. Guys inside the vehicle or her keys, her sunglasses,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and her to do list for the day. Her wallet
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was missing. That there was no obvious signs of foul
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: play and no indication of where she had gone. Okay, Now,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: an extensive search effort began almost immediately There was law
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: enforcement volunteers, family members, friends. They searched the rugged Wyoming
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: terrain for any signs of amy. The authorities initially considered
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the possibility that maybe she had become lost, injured, or
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: attacked by wildlife in the remote wilderness area, but as
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the investigation continue, detectives began looking more closely at the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: people closest to her. Guys. One thing that I found interesting.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I do go on walks. I do like to go
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: hiking and walk it just don't run. I don't leave
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: my keys in my car. I take my keys with me.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Is that weird? If you were off running, would you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: leave your keys in your car? I mean, I'm asking
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: because I know I'm a little bit more probably paranoid.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say paranoid aware in safety conscious, So I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: don't know now. Investigator Search searched her husband, Steve's journals
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and found writings that reference violence towards women, including an
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: undated poem about murder and hiding a body. And yes, guys,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that can be a ragged flack. Okay, but let's also
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: stop and think. Can you imagine if I went missing
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: or double h went missing and somebody started reading my
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: writings or look at my Google search as I think
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I would be arrested immediately and I would have a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: one way ticket to prison. I would be convicted just
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: by my Google search, just saying now. Friends and acquaintances
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of the couple also provided conflicting descriptions of the marriage.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Some describe the relationship as happy, while others claim Steve
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was jealous and often belittled Amy. Don't like that. A
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: woman camping in the show Shun Show shown National Park
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Area on that day that Amy disappeared, later told investigators
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: she saw a truck similar to Steve's speeding through the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: park during the early evening hours. Now authorities have never
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: confirmed whether that was his truck or if it had
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: anything to do with Amy's disappearance. Steve has denied any
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: involvement in amy disappearance, and, on the advice of his attorney,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he later stopped cooperating with the investigators and declined to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: take a polygraph test. Hey, guys, I am not going
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to fault him for that. Anyone, innocent or guilty, you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: should get an attorney, and you should not take a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: polygraph test. They are not accurate and you just shouldn't, Okay,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: He has maintained that law enforcement has unfairly focused on
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: him because they lacked other suspects and evidence, which, guys,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: we always know they're going to look at the husband,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the boyfriend, and the exes. They're going to do all
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of that. Okay. Now, Another name later surfaced in this investigation,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Dale Wayne Eaton, was a convicted murderer on Wyoming's death Row.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Investigators believed Eaton may have been connected to multiple killings
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: across several Western states and considered him a possible suspect
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in Amy's disappearance after his brother claimed he was in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the Lander area around the time Amy vanished. Now, Eaton's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: never been charged in connection with her case, and he
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: has refused to discuss it once again, that is his right. Yep, lady,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and Grace says, they tell you that you failed when
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't. Absolutely yep, lawyers shut up, No, Polly exactly,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: even if you're innocent. Okay, look, I mean better safe
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: than sorry right now. Years later, Amy was declared legally
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: dead in two thousand and four, but her disappearance remains unsought.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: All of these decades later, her family is still left
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: without answers about what happened to this runner who vanished
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the Wyoming Wilderness on a July afternoon. They
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: are asking anyone with information about Amy Joe roe Bechtel's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: disappearance is asked to contact the Freeman County Sheriff's Office
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: at three oh seven three three two five six one one.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to ask you, like I do every week,
• 18:19

• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of Terry true crime social media pages and share the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: missing person poster for Amy, because guys, they deserve an answer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to go to bed every night wondering
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: what happened and if for X I guess not as
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: ex for widowed husband has something to do with it,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: then he deserves to be held accountable or whoever did
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: something to her. Okay, they deserve to be held accountable. Now, guys,

• 19:29
  Speaker 1: because the answer will be no, and then I'm a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: screenshot and share that picture because I'm tired of it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Okay now, David Vernon Ooops, I went too far. David
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Vernon Lovely was nineteen years old when he disappeared on
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: August fifth, nineteen eighty five. He was last seen in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Fort Bridge, or Whiteoming while traveling across the country with
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: this family during a move from California to Massitude. And guys,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: he stood six foot four at bitap weighed about one
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds. He had blonde brown hair, blue eyes,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and large scars across his aftmen from extensive kidney surgery
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that he underwent as a child. He was riding a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: burgundy Maroon or what we call Aggie Maroon nineteen seventy
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: eight Yamaha eleven hundred motorcycle equipped with fancy saddlebags and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a luggagtrack, all which contained his personal belongings. Guys, his
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: hair looks like he has curls and I love it,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and I see some red in it, and I love
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it now. The move had been carefully planned, okay. David's
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: mother and sister were driving a rider moving truck and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: towing a truck behind it while David traveled separately on
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: his motorcycle, and because the motorcycle was much faster than
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the moving truck, the family developed a routine of stopping
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: about every thirty miles to check in with one another
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: along the route. Okay, that is such a mom move
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that I would be doing. I'd be like, Okay, I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: can see you, but yeah, let's stop and chat. On
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: August fifth, after leaving Salt Lake City, Utah, the family
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: met up again in Evanston, Wyoming. Oh my god, guys,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that's where we're going. Oh okay, these things keep happening
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: on our shows long and the last time we did
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: True Crime and Wine Time together, it happened to be
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the day of that. Something happened. Now I'm going to Evanston, Wyoming.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That is unreal. Okay, that's unreal. Data told his mother
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and sister that he had been experiencing trouble with this
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: motorcycle and wanted to continue on to Fort Bridger to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: have it looked at. His family agreed, excuse me, Lama burb,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and he kept going. Now. Later that day, David contacted
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: his aunt and told her that his motorcycle had broken
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: down in Fort Bridger. He said that a rough looking
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: man who also wrote a motorcycle had helped repair it
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: at the Bingo truck stop. David reportedly told his aunt
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: that he was kind of afraid of the man. He
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: kind of looked a little sketchy. Guys, little did David
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: or his family realize that the rider truck the family
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: was traveling in past where David was getting his motorcycle fixed,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and that phone call with his aunt was the last
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: known contact anyone had with him. Can you imagine being
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: his mom and finding out later that you drove just
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: kept going because he thought he'd gone on, and that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you passed. Oh my god. Now, David was one of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: five kids. His family did descry him as creative but
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a bit naive, like I said. They expected to reconnect
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: with him further along the route, but he never arrived. Guys.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They waited for him in Rock Springs and continued looking
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: for him as that traveled east. When he failed to appear.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: His disappearance was reported to authorities. Hello, Betty Ross. Nine
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: days later, campers discovered David's motorcycle abandoned in an isolated
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: area off Baxter Road near Rock Springs, Wyoming, approximately seventy
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: miles from Fort Bridger. The motorcycle was found with the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: keys still in the ignition, It had a half a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: tank of gas remaining, and it was fully operational. It
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: was not broken down. David's helmet, books, backpack, and his
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: wallet containing approximately about one hundred and fifty dollars and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: their belongings were found nearby. Guys, if you follow true crime,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: hold on because this next part I don't understand. Guys.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: The police led his dad pick up the motorcycle and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: drive it back to his house. Does anyone else find
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that weird? Why didn't they take the motorcycle as evidence?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I mean they could have at least checked for fingerprints? Right? Am?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I crazy? Year? Okay about this? I know I'm crazy.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: That to me is in sane. I mean, I know
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: we didn't have DNA back then, but you could have.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, that just seems weird. Betty Ross,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: exactly what it's like now. Several days later, the man
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: who found the motorcycle, said he had seen someone driving
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a teal or turquoise motorcycle not far from the road
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: or David's bike was fatnd Now authorities conducted an extensive
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: search of the surrounding area. They found no trace of David.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Now the terrain, which does include ravines and washouts, complicated
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the search efforts and then, guys, thunderstorms moved through the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: area during the days right after his disappearance, which may
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: have destroyed potential evidence. And David's family has long struggled
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: with the unanswered questions surrounding his disappearance. Those closest to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: him describe him as close to his family, and his
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: aunt says she does not believe he left voluntarily. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: agree with deal. More than four decades later, no confirmed
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: traces of David Vernon Lovely have ever been found and guys,
• 25:51
