  Speaker 1: playlist under Sissian's, so be sure to check that out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Now let's get into today. So the first case is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: one that we have covered on True Crime and Wine
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Time under the investigation into the disappearance of Chase Lackey.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We decided we needed to cover Chase's case on Midday
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Missing as we do other missing person cases, even though
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we are doing a special investigation into his disappearance. If
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you're not familiar with his case, oh goodness, you guys.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: There's so many details to Chase Chase's cases. It's a lot.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You can watch the episodes on our YouTube channel or
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: listen to your favorite podcast apps and you can find
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: more information about Chase there. But let's give a little
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: bit of information about Chase. Okay. So, Chase Alan Lackeye
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was born on November twenty second, nineteen ninety one, in Houston, Texas,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to Craig and Debbie Lackey. He graduated from Crosby High School,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: where he played varsity baseball and later became an iron worker,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a job he held until January twenty seventeen. Now, unbeknownst
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to his family, losing that job marked the beginning of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a somewhat troubling chapter of his life. So on June thirtieth,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Chase's father saw him at a softball game
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in Crosby, Texas. Chase seemed upbeat, giving no indication it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: would be their last encounter. By July second, Chase's mother, Debbie,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: she grew concerned when calls and texts went unanswered, his
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: phone was shut off, went straight to voicemail, and she
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: reached out to some of the other family members and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: none of nobody heard from him, you know, so panic
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: started to to set in at that point. On July fourth,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Chase's sister and friends entered his locked apartment through the patio.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Chase and his dog, adorable dog Champ, were gone. A
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: neighbor reported seeing him the previous day helping someone load
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a U haul. Another claimed to have seen him running
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: from his apartment on July first. Desperate for answers, the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: family contact at hospitals, jails, and shelters and nothing at
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all anywhere, So on July fifth, they reported him missing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to the Harris County Sheriff's office. Inside the apartment, police
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: found two phones, his driver's license, passport, truck, and his
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: personal belongings all left behind, which is not normal. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: apartment also contained a money counter, shipping boxes and small
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: quantities of marijuana and drug paraphernalia raised further questions so investigators.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Investigators learned that Chase had been associating with someone tied
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to the California drug trade and had possibly worked on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a marijuana farm to make ends meet. While there were
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: records of multiple trips between Texas and California, no solid
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: evidence confirmed to his involvement, some friends recalled him, saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he was in trouble and that he might lead town.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We have learned that case, Art, I'm sorry. We have
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: learned that Chase has two friends that were involved in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the drug business with him, and both of these friends
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: lied to police. I'm not going to go into those
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: details or a rant like our lovely terry True Crime Wood.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We'll say that for another time. So definitely be sure
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you check out her rants from the previous UH investigation
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: because it's it's a doozy. But you guys, Chase's family
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is still searching for answers and closure. You know, this
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: happened in twenty seventeen, so to do the math, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that's that's seven years of wondering. So if you guys
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: have any information about Chase or his disappearance, please call

• 7:36
  Speaker 1: looking for new cases to investigate. Now, if you don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: mind me, I just have a quick stip of my
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: drink here. Okay, So, our next case is about Ian
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Willcoxin Okay. So. Ian Willcoxen was born on February twenty second,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. He graduated from high school Conroe, Texas,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and proudly served in the United States Navy. It's a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: really nice picture. He has beautiful eyes. Oh my goodness.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Ian split his time between Conroe and Boone, Colorado, a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: small town in Pueblo County, before eventually relocating to Colorado
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: full time in the summer of twenty sixteen. After being
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: laid off, he soon found work on a marijuana farm. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: if you're thinking Ian's name sounds familiar, you are correct.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We covered Ian's case here on Midday Missing last June,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but wanted to cover it again today since we also
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: covered Chase's case here for the first time. As I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: mentioned Chase's case, he is from Crow, Texas, which is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a stone's throwaway from Houston. I don't know. I'm not
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: from Texas, but it looks pretty darn close. And he
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: had also recently started working on marijuana farm. His was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in California. So Chase went missing in July of twenty seventeen.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Both Chase and Ian were young, fit, good looking men
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with similar timelines and life circumstances. Okay, so Chase July
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen Remember that Ian was last seen in Boom, Colorado,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on the morning of January fourth, twenty seventeen. He was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: scheduled to fly back to Texas that day, but the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: flight was reportedly canceled due to weather. Here's the thing.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Weather in Houston that day was mild, a high of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: fifty six fahrenheit low of forty nine, with nothing more
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: than a breeze. In Colorado Springs the nearest major airports
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of Boom, conditions included light snow and temps hovering around
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: twenty seven degrees fahrenheit with winds up to sixteen miles
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: an hour. Not great, but not exactly a blizzard. The
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: best guess the inbound flight couldn't make it due to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: weather somewhere else, not in the tw Texas or Colorado.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So what's especially concerning about this case is the lack
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of clear details surrounding Ian's last new movements. There are
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: no publicly available reports stating whether he left for the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: airport or who last saw him that morning. The only
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: items missing were what he would have had on him
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was his clothes, phone, wallet, keys, and the gun. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: before anyone asked why he had a firearm, he was
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a Texan a navy that and working on a marimana farm.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense to me. And he's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: grown man. He can carry a gun if he wants to. Now,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Ian did text, I'm sorry, let me say that over.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Ian did text his landlord in Texas that staying morning,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: saying he'd pay rent upon arrival. That final text was
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: sent around ten am. After that, his phone went dark
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and reportedly stopped pinging later that night, likely due to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a dead batter. His vehicles and other personal belongings were
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: left behind. No authorities have found no signs of fout play,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and his residents no signs of a struggle, no indication
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the home had been disturbed. One more twisted in this story,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Ian and Chase actually knew each other. Their phone records
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: show they had each other's contact info and had communicated.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: How they met remains unclear. They could have crossed paths
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in Houston through mutual friends or through the marijuana farm circuit.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: We just don't know. What we do know is that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Ian's family is still searching for answers. They went nothing
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: more to bring him home. So you know, again, another
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: family struggling for answers. It's been eight years. I got
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: better at math because it's eight years for Chase too.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Now that I do, that's not my strong suit everybody,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But let's let's find both of these families and answers. Now.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: If you have any any information at all about Ian's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: disappearance or about his life around the time he went missing,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: please contact the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office at seven one
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: nine five eight three six two five zero. You can
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: also leave an anonymous tip with crime Stoppers at seven
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: one nine five four to two stop. I don't know
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: what numbers make the words stop, but it's stop. At
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the time he vanished, Ian was five to nine weighed
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five pounds, and had blonde hair
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and striking blue eyes. He also has a tattoo on
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: his upper right upper chest of an eagle above that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: says Texas, along with a couple of others. For case
• 12:56
