• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Alan Duke, Alan, How was she found and where was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: she found? She was found in Venice, California. Of course,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's the beach area in Los Angeles County, a pretty grimy,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: seedy place in some parts, but then a high end
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: tourist place too. It's where a lot of homeless pool
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: gather and it's the famous boardwalk. That's where she was found.

  Speaker 1: How did she get from the MGM Grand in Las

  Speaker 1: Vegas to their The FBI is investigating, but right now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and I've been talking with the family, the family has
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: been asked don't tell the media what happened. Yet, we
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: still need to get more investigation done. They're not even
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: telling us who they've arrested or what they've been charged with. Well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I know it's two men. The mom says, I prayed
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and prayed that you would come, and you came. That
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is what she's posting. This girl is alive and tonight
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: we can really just praise God that this girl has
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been found. She was found far far away from home.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: What it's leading me to Not only is the thanks
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that she's been found alive, but the questions about the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: other girls, the other women we've been reporting on that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have gone missing in the same general area. Right now,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about a lane park. What do
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we know about this girl? She's a twenty year old
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: girl and her mother is absolutely beside herself a twenty
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: year old Glendale girl. What do we know about Elaine?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And why does this seem eerily similar? She is from Glendale, California,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: an l A suburb. She went missing after going to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend's house in the Calabasas area one weekend, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of days later, her family realized she was missing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: They couldn't find her, They couldn't get her to answer
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: her cell phone, so they went to the police in Glendale. Finally,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: what happened was her car was found parked on the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, not that far from Calabasas.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It was near Coral Canyon, and in the car I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: believe for her personal belongings, her phone and keys were
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: still inside. She is a Korean American girl. She is American,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: five six hundred and twenty pounds. She's got long brown
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: hair and blonde on the tips. She's a gorgeous young
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: girl and joining us now is her mother. Before we
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: go out to Elaine's mom, Susan Parks, I want to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: thank our sponsor, Simply Safe, for being with us and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: allowing us to speak to Elaine's mom and to broadcast
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: our podcast. Simply Safe is simply awesome. And I'll tell
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you why a lot of people don't even try to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: get home security because they think they can't afford it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Why should some people have home security and other people
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: don't because they can't afford it. That's not right. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: have home security, My mom has home security. Why because
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I want peace of mind when my children are here.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I have it on when I'm home. I have it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on when I'm gone, especially when their home with me

• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Everyone with me is Susan Parks. Miss Park Again, I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: trying to understand how Elaine went missing and why did
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it take a day or two before everyone realized she
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was gone. Well, Friday afternoon, she asked me to borrow
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: twenty dollars and we have a little money thing going
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on where she asked me quick pay. I give her
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: twenties dollars. I asked her to pay me back, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like a uh managing money strategy. I'm
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: trying to teach her. So she said, yeah, I'll pay
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you back. Um, Friday night, after my dad gives me
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: spending money, so that's fine. That will be around six o'clock.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So you text me about that. And then seven o'clock
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: comes and she has not you know, responded or said
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: anything at six. At seven o'clock, I check her about
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it and she said And at nine o'clock she text
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: me and saying, oh, give me until later tonight. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, keep your word, you know, as
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a mom, I was like saying a couple of things.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: That was it. Then she didn't come home. Then on Saturday,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: text her. She didn't respond, so I called her and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: two times it rang, and then after that the phone
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: phone died and then it was strict to voice voice message.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, well, that's really strange because she usually
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: are good about paying me back, and she has not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: responded or called or and then the phone is dead.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The reason why I did not think of much because
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in the past she would have her bags and makeup,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and she would go in for a couple of days,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: three to three days or two days, and she just appears.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And we don't have a traditional or affectionate mother daughter relationship.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: She's twenty years old. We live the same household, but
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: she always wants me to leave her alone, and she
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: just closes her door. She doesn't want me to come
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: into her room. Every time I try to pick up
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: her hair or swip her hair, she would say, why
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: are you sneaking around? Don't come to my room. So
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I learned to leave her alone. So I'm thinking, well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: she'll be back. And then Saturday evening I called her.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: The phone kept it was off all day. It was off,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: so now I started to didn't think something is wrong.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, she still didn't come home and her phone
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: was still off all day all nights, so I'm thinking, alright,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: so something definitely is wrong. Sunday I called the police department.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: She looked into failing missing person's report, but they say, oh,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: she's twenty years old, so we don't take this critical.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: We take it as a volunteer. So why don't you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: know she is anything missing? So yeah, she her delfel
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: bag is missing, her makeup is missing. So they didn't
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: take it too seriously. So I'm thank you. Hum Well,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: let's give it one more night. So Monday came and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that's when I finally said, Okay, I have to do something.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Something is not right. Have Elaine's credit cards for a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: t M any of that being used she went missing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Her driver license were in the car. She doesn't have
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a credit card, but the driver license was there. Friday afternoon,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: she purchased gas near my house. That was the last transaction.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Has she tried to contact you in any way? No,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: she has not contacted me in any way. Last time
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I got text from her around nine o'clock Friday, was
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: when she said give me until later tonight to give
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: me the twenty dollars. That's the last time she text me.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: What are police telling you now about her disappearance? They're
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: puzzled there. I don't know what else to do. They're
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just waiting for leeds. They just went to That's all
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: there is. They're they're just sitting back. What do you
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: think happened? I thought it might be suicide at first
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: because of our bad relationship and she was not happy
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: at home. Um, she was not loved as traditional parents would.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm Asian, I'm Korean. All her friends are American friends.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: She must have compared American friens parents towards their daughter
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: against my relationship with her, because I'm not love you, Dobby,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I love your affectionate. So I I felt like that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: has impact and she was for her being unhappy, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: then like why would I thought, why would she? That's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: what I thought at first, But then as time goes by,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I feel adoption, I feel trafficking. Ms Park. This is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Alan Duke. I know you talked to your daughter's boyfriend.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Apparently he was the last known person to see her
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: at his home in Calabasas, just a few miles away
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: from where her car was found three days later. What
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: did he tell you about that night? We went to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: see movie Friday night and then um, we came home
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on and then all of us, isn't She woke up
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: at at four o'clock or something, stinging and shaking, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: she looked like she had a panic attack. I asked
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: her not to go, but she dressed so fast and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: she just left. And you've told me the police gave
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you security camera video from the boyfriend's home that shows
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: your daughter apparently leaving the house that next morning at
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: six or five am. My daughter only by herself. Uh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: she was exiting. She was going towards her car from
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: from six o one to six o five and that's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: when she finally came out. And that was cut off
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: at that six or five immediately when he got out
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the video the footage was cut off. Then a separate
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: DVD of Community one, there was only one footage of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: her leaving, not her leaving the vehicle leaving on January
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: at seven fortune am. The part just driving off is
• 13:22

• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and what is the where is one hour? So you

• 13:47
  Speaker 1: who the driver is. I trying, I know what my
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: concern is. Maybe the body's inside there in the part
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know there's no answer to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it because I can't see. And why did it take
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: one hour for her to leave? Mammy? Have got to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: know that we are praying for and thinking of Elaine
• 14:10

• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and traditional Crient way, and that's my fault. And I
• 14:56

  Speaker 1: I want to love her no matter what, unconditional love.
• 15:05

• 15:07
  Speaker 1: kind of trouble, I want to help you. Please come

• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I know this is a tough question, but do you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: think your girl is still alive? I don't know. I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: don't know. She's a very smart girl, and I know
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: she'll find somehow, some way if she's alive, as gay
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: fight use her intelligence to get out and get help.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But if trafficking, I heard that if you drug the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: girl and threatened their lives or families lives, they're trapped somehow,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: especially when it's drugged. So I'm confused. People are giving
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: me hope, but I'm confused. I don't know if she's alive.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I am. People are trying to keep
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: me up hope, but it's fading out and it's one
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: way or the other. I want her back. I want
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: her back. I need to have her back. I need
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to find her. I want to thank you so much
• 16:44

• 16:47
  Speaker 1: on for a line. Again, thank you Simply Say for
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: sponsoring our podcast, a great feature of Simply Say. When
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I was telling my mom's backstore neighbor about simply Safe, Um,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: she's a widow, her husband passed away several years ago,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: she said, well, even if I had it, I couldn't
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: install it. That's not true, that is not true. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: really believe my daughter or son, who are nine years old,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: could do it. But if you go online, they've got
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a little video tutorial. It is so easy to install.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Simply say, thank you for making home security possible for
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: so many people. Again, with Elaine, the tip line is

• 17:37
  Speaker 1: from Glendale, the tip line is eight one eight five
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: eight four nine one one. I know it must be
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so painful for Elaine's mom to stand by and see
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Sarah come home alive while she's still looking for her girl,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: happiness for Sarah's family, and the pain that she's still
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: living with with her daughter still missing. You know, the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: discovery of Sarah alive, far from home, but alive, has
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: renewed hope for so many families. Alan, Yes, you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we talked to these moms and and aunts and brothers,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and sisters, and it's so heartbreaking. But the case of
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Sarah Duncy, the way that it has turned out and

  Speaker 1: that she is now back with her family, has given
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: these others hope. I heard from the friends the people
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: who want to find Maricella Garcia, and they're hoping that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: what the FBI and the l a p D learned
