• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it is bonkers. If you like bonkers, you need to
• 2:10

  Speaker 1: know Buffy will not be on. I don't remember if
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it's starting next week or what, and I will be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: popping in over there to help and become part of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Shenanigans over there. Okay, Now, today we're headed to Wyoming,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: which is a state highly on my bucket list that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I have never been to, and I want to go
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: there now. Wyoming maybe known for its breathtaking mountains, sprawling ranches,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yellowstone National Park, and being the least populated state in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the country, but guys, its wide open landscape also can
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: make missing person investigations incredibly difficult. And they have harsh winters,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: rugged terrain, remote back roads, and vast stretches of wilderness.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And also they have a lot of wild animals and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this often creates major challenges for search search teams and investigators.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Interesting fact, Wyoming was the first state to grant women
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the right to vote in eighteen sixty nine, earning it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the nickname the equality State. Good job Whiteoming. I did
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not know that until I researched this. So I like
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that as a person who identifies as a woman. That
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: makes me very happy. Now. Wyoming remains one of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: most rural states in America. According to Wyoming Division of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Criminal Investigation data, there were approximately eighty six active missing
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: person cases in the state. Some dating back decades. Okay. Now,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: reports show that Wyoming consistently ranks among the higher states
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: per capita for missing person cases, with roughly nine missing
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: purses per one hundred thousand residents. That's a lot, guys,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: when you think about it like that. Now, while many
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: cases are resolved quickly, others remain haunting mysteries that families
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: continue searching for answers years later. Okay, our first case
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: today is Kimberly k Novak Allen. She was born on
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: May twenty fifth, nineteen fifty eight in Montana into a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: middle class working family and was one of three sisters
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: out Growing up, Kimberly was involved in rodeo and was
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: described by her family as a free spirit and a follower,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: someone who often found herself caught up in trouble and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: surrounded by the wrong people. I have to say, guys,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I've never heard a family or friends come out and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: say that someone's a follower. I find that interesting and unique.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that are followers. Not
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: everybody's meant to be leaders. Just haven't heard that description. Now.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: For a time, things seemed to settle down after kim
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: married Tom Allen. The couple had two daughters together, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Kimberly worked as a floral arranger, something she genuinely enjoyed,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but after the marriage ended in divorce, her family says
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Kimberly slowly drifted back into a transient lifestyle marked by
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: struggles with alcohol and drug abuse. Eventually, her daughters went
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to live with Kimberly's mother, while Kimberly continued moving from
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: place to place, sometimes disappearing for periods of time before
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: reconnecting with family. Now, because of long absences and the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: instability in her life, there are many unanswered questions and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: conflicting details surrounding Kimberly's disappearance. In the mid to late
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, Kimberly moved to Wyoming with a boyfriend who
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: had accepted a job there. Her family says the last
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: time they spoke with her was in nineteen eighty nine,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and during that conversation, Kimberly reportedly talked about cleaning up
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: her life and wanting to regain custodis of her daughters now.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: According to the official reports, Kimberly was last seen in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Sublet Counting, Wyoming on July third, nineteen ninety, when she
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: had led to left to handle a child custody matter
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in Jefferson County, Montana. Other reports date Kimberly, who also
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: used the surnames Alan Harris, INNGA gr GA gr E
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: not sure and was saying she was lasting in Granger, Yoming,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on April seventeenth, nineteen ninety two, and was reported missing
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: approximately three months later by a female friend. Guys, when
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: someone is going through these kind of struggles in life,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's hard for people to know to report them missing immediately,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and that does make it a little bit more challenge.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: To this day, the exact timeline of Kimberly's disappearance remains unclear.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Some reports suggest she may have been traveling back to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Montana for a custody hearing. Guys, that has never been
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: fully substantiated, Okay. Questions also remain about the boyfriend she
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: moved to Wyoming with in what and if anything, he
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: may have known about Kimberly's final days. Guys, I went
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole trying to find about the boyfriend
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and anything I couldn't. So, if there's anyone who's hearing
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: this or watching this and you know more, I would
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: really like to have more information so that we can
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: share a full picture now. Kimberly's family says, despite her struggles,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it was completely unlike her to vanish forever. Even when
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: she disappeared for those periods of times, she always kind
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of resurfaced, and they do believe if Kimberly were alive,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: she would have reached out to someone by now. Kimberly
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: k Novak, who is also known as kim and Kimberly Allen,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was thirty three years old at the time of her disappearance.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: She would be sixty seven years old today. Guys, she
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was talking about getting custody of her daughters. She wouldn't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: just leave out of their lives, okay. She is described
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: as a white female with brown hair and green eyes,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: standing approximately five feet four inches tall. At the time
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of her disappearance, she weighed around one hundred and thirty pounds.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: She had a mole on the right side of her nose,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a surgical star on her aptmen, and a tattoo on
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: her left shoulder blade of a pegasus with the words
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: rolling thunder written a written underneath, along with pine trees.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Anyone with information about Kimberly's disappearance is urged to contact
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office at three oh seven ninety
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: two two five three. Guys, it's been three decades. Her
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: family is still waiting for answers of out what happened
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to her. I am sure her daughters would love to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: know what happened to their mom. So if you will

• 10:56
  Speaker 1: we had a big rainstorm come through last night and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: brought all of that allergiins in with that cold front,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: so having to take lots of decongestins and antihistamines. Now
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: our next case is OOP. Sorry, guys. A little crazy
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: with the clicker John Jacob Barnhill and guys, I love
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the name John Jacob. I don't know why, but I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: love it and it's making me think of a song,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: but I can't think of what the song is. I've
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: been trying to figure it out for several weeks. If
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: anybody knows what song you think of when you hear
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: John Jacob, please tell me, because I need to get
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it off my brain. But John Jacob also went by
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the nickname Jay, and he disappeared from Mills, Yoming in
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: September tenth, twenty nineteen, under circumstances that remained deeply concerning
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and unexplained. John was sixty two years old at the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: time of his disappearance. Friends and family describe him as
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: someone who kept to a routine, making his sudden disappearance
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: even more alarming now. According to reports, on September tenth,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, John told us living girlfriend he was heading
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: out to run Errand's. After leaving the house, he sent
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: several text messages, but after that all communications suddenly stopped.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: John Jacob, Jingleheimer Schmidt, Thank you, Sean Leslie, thank you, Okay,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: thank you Lama. That has been in my head and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it was like hanging right there and I just couldn't
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: go and get my brain to grab it. Thank you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: guys much. Appreciated now. When John failed to return home,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend reported him missing, okay, and just two days later,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: on September fourteenth, John's truck was discovered near shep Herder
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Hill and Casper Mountain in Natrona County, Wyoming. Investigators said
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the vehicle had been driven through brush and parked well
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: off the roadway in the sparsely populated area surrounded by
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: private property and Bureau of Land Management land guys. There
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was no sign of John anywhere near the truck. They
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: also said they didn't find any signs of a struggle
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: or anything. Now. Authorities, including canine teams, searched the area extensively,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: focusing on roughly a six mile radius surrounding where the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: vehicle was found. No trace of him was located. More
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: than six years later, John Jacob Barnhill remains missing and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: his case is still unsolved. Investigators have never publicly explained
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: why John's truck ended up in such remote area or
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what may have happened after he left home that day guys,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: which is not uncommon law enforcement likes to keep things
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: close to their vest Okay. Questions still remain about the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: text messages he sent after leaving and whether someone may
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: know more about his disappearance than they've shared. I could
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: not find any information about who he sent text messages to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So if somebody knows, and if they think it has
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: anything to do with this disappearance, let me know. Oh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Lama says, my brother and I would sing it NonStop
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: in the car to annoy the adults. I could see
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you and I call him train brother doing that, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that is hilarious. Now, John was last seen wearing It
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: was either a long sleeve or sleeveless bone Daddy t
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: sh shirt because he was known for cutting the sleeves
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: off and maybe he did it, they don't know. Now.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He had on blue jeans, white sneakers, and a silver
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: watch on his left wrist. He is described as a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: white male with gray black hair, brown eyes. He was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: five ft eleven, so he's got some behind on him, okay,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and he weighed about one hundred and eighty five pounds. Now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: At the time of his disappearance, John wore his long
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: hair and a ponytail down his back with multiple hair
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: bands spaced throughout it. I mean, look at the center
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: picture of him. He has some long, luscious locks. He
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: has some locks, Okay, he also had a gray mustache
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and possibly a gray beard. Now he normally wore eyeglasses.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They were left behind, which makes me wonder did he
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: need them to drive, because if so, why did he
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: leave them behind and drive his vehicle without his glasses.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping he didn't need them to Okay. Now, John
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: also has a white scar on the right side of
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: his torso near his ribcage, and he has a large
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: mole near his right shoulder blade. Everyone is asking if
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you have any information about the disappearance, his whereabouts or
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: how has truck got to where it was Your urge
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to contact the Natrona County Sheriff's Office at three oh
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: seven two three five ninety two eight two, or you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: can call the Mills Police Department at three oh seven
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: two sixty six four seven ninety six. Guys, someone somewhere
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: knows what happened. As I've said many of times, the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: spaceship didn't just fly to Wyoming and shoot down a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: beam and pick him up. Doesn't happen that way. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: get it's more remote, but somebody has to know something.
