  Speaker 1: Darkest Secrets and we go live at nine pm Eastern
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on our YouTube channel and Guys, Monday, I'm covering the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: caves of Magon Huntsman, the mother who killed six of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: her newborns. You heard me right, six of her newborns.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Another crazy case. Thank you, Lama. It is great being back.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Now today we are headed to Arkansas, or as I've
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: heard some people say, ar Kansas, which cracks me up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But Arkansas is known as the natural state. It is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: home to breath, the breathtaking Ozark and Ocheedah Mountains. They
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have more than six hundred thousand acres of lakes. That's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of lakes and thousands of miles of rivers
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and streams from the bustling streets of Little Rock to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the small towns that are scattered throughout the Delta and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the mountain regions. Now, like every state, Arkansas is not
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: immune to the heartbreak of missing person cases. In recent years,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: thousands of missing person reports have been entered across the state, thankfully,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with the vast majority being resolved quickly. However, for families
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: who loved ones remain missing, every day without answers is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a painful reminder that their search is not over. Now
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: today we are going to talk about Matthew Bradley Terry,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: who was forty six years old when he was last
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: seen on November fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Now,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Matthew is described as a white male standing five foot
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: ten inches tall, weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and according to the little bit of information provided to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: law enforcement, Matthew was at a friend's residence in North
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Little Rock on the evening of November fifteenth, twenty twenty five,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: around seven pm. Now. His friend told the investigators that
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Matthew said he was going to get plywood for her house,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but he never returned. She did report that his behavior
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was highly unusual and unlike anything she had experienced with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: him before, but didn't go into details, so I need
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to know more. The friend advised that Matthew was experiencing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: homelessness and frequently stayed at a camp in the area,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and concerned by his disappearance, she went to the camp
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and spoke with people who stayed there. No one else
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: had seen Matthew since November fifteenth. She had also reached
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: out to several individuals who associated with him. Guys, none
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of them had seen or heard from him since that day. Guys,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that is heartbreaking. Adding to the concern, Matthew left behind
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: all of his personal belongings at the camp, including a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: cell phone, clothing, and his other personal items, and everyone
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: agreed that him leaving without all of these belongings was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: extremely unusual for Matthew and nothing like this had happened before. Guys,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: with what little bit I know about individuals experiencing homelessness,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: they care about their belongings. That's why you will see
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: them pushing shopping carts with all of their belongings in it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: They hold on to their belongings, especially even more when
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you don't have a place to call your own that's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: safe with the roof over its head, over your head. Now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the North Little Rock Police Department is asking for the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: public's help and locating Matthew Terry. He was last known
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to be in the area of four hundred West twenty
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: ninth Street in North Little Rock, Arkansas. They are asking
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: if you have any information regarding Matthew Terry's whereabouts, please
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: contact the North Little Rock Police Department at five oh
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: one six eight zero eight four three nine. Guys, even
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if you think it's a rumor, even if you think
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you saw someone who kind of looks like this photo,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: call them. It's important because you never know. Maybe it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: not a rumor, maybe it's really him. Okay, they would
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: prefer you call then not okay. Also, I'm going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: ask you to Please after the show ends, please go
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to our Midday Missing Facebook page or any of my
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Tierry true crime social media pages and share the poster
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of Matthew so that he can be found and answers
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: can be given. Now. If you have a loved one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: who is missing or know of a missing person whose
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: story deserves more attention, guys, we would be honored to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: help share their case on an upcoming episode of Midday Missing,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and family members are also welcome to join us for
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a live interview to discuss their loved ones and help
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: raise awareness. So you can email me directly at Terry T. E.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: R I at tcwtmedia dot com, or you can send
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: me a DM through any of our social media platforms,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or you can tag me in any of your posts
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: as other people have done. We will definitely look into it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So we love talking to families and having them on
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: when we can. Now. Tavares Thomas and I heard it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: pronounced toua Tavars and the other way was really weird,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to say Tavares Thomas, forty eight, was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: last seen on September sixth, twenty twenty five, in the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Rose City area of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Guys, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't know what was going on in twenty twenty five, Okay,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: because first we have Matthew. You know that we just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: talked about who went missing in November. Tavares had gone
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: missing in September same year. What's gone on? Little Rock
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: now known to friends and family as sea or seizure.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: His disappearance has left loved ones searching for answers, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they're really hoping someone in the community knows what happened
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to him now. Tavars was known to spend time in
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: several homeless camps throughout the area and was reported missing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: later that month, but for his family, concerns began much sooner. Now, guys,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I do want to stop and take a minute to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: let you guys know that when individuals are experiencing homelessness,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they are more vulnerable to nefarious things. Okay, they are.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It is a it's a fact, and they don't always
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: keep in touch with people, so they may not not
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: be reported as soon as we maybe would like now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Tavaris's sister, Shamanica Couch, said it was unusual for her
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: brother to go more than a few days without contacting family,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and when more than two weeks pass without hearing from him,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: she began searching for him herself. Shamanica, I love that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you're my kind of girl. Okay. She visited areas where
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he was known to stay and asked people if they
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: had seen him, but she was unable to find any
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: traces of him, and as time went on, she said,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: she begin hearing from people in the community that something
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: may have happened to her brother. Okay. While no information
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: has been confirmed, hearing similar concerns from multiple people only
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: deep in the family's worry and uncertainty. The North Little
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Rock Police Department continues to investigate this case. Now. Authorities
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: did confirm that an interview has been conducted as part
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of the investigation. However, the person interview is not considered
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a suspect and no arrests have been made, and the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: case remains an active and ongoing missing person's investigation. Varis's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: family the pain of not knowing what happened has been overwhelming, okay.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Shemonica described her brother as her protector and said they
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: shared a very close bond. Now, guys, I also want
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to point out that some individuals choose to live in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: homeless situation encampments. One of my husband's high school friends,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: has a sister who lives here in Austin on the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: streets and chooses to Okay, doesn't want the families help,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: so let's try to not shame them. Okay. Now, Liz asked,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: how long it goes? Is both of our cases today
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: are from twenty twenty five. Tavares went missing in September. Okay. Now.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The family grew even more concerned when Tavars did not
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: contact family around his birthday in hourly October. And guys,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that made it even worse because it was his birthday.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And what we need to realize He's not just a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: missing person. He's not just a photo. He's not just
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a name. Guys. He's a father, he's a grandfather, he's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a brother, and he is deeply missed by those who
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: love him. Okay. He leaves behind two children and two grandchildren.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: His youngest child is an eight year old son who's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: being raised by his grandmother and continues to wait for
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: answers alongside the rest of the family. Guys, if you're
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: new here, I want you to stop and think about that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: If you've been around for a while, you know my thing,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: think about being that eight year old child going to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: bed at night, not knowing where you're dad is. Is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he alive? Is he injured? Does he need something? Is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: someone holding him hostage? Did someone kill him and his
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: body left somewhere to rot? Think about that? That is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a lot for an adult to go to bed and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: think about. This is an eight year old child. So
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm begging anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Tavarvis
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Thomas to please contact the Little Rock Police Department at
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: six or at five oh one, six, eight oh eight,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: four three nine, because guys, no piece of information is
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: too small. One tip could be the answer that that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: eight year old boy is waiting on. Okay, So once
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: again I'm gonna ask you all to please go and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: share the missing person poster and Little Rock. I don't
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: know what was going on in twenty twenty five, but
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you've got something going on. I get concerned when two
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: individuals in a vulnerable population go missing so close together
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: September and November twenty twenty five. Maybe it's because I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: live in a true crime world. Maybe it's because I've
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: watched criminal minds, Law and Order, But that concerns me
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: because they're already vulnerable okay, so please please, if you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know anything, call them. Okay, Now, I thank you all
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: for joining. I know missing person cases aren't for everybody,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: used to be the same for me. Okay, I didn't want,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you know, to cover missing person cases because there's no answer. Now,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: don't forget to join our Midday Missing Facebook group. There
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: we share all of our missing person posters along with
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: other cases that we have verified that need attention. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like I said, I will also post the posters across
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Myterie true Crime social media pages so you can still
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: share them even if you're not on Facebook, because I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: know not everybody's on Facebook, but we are on all
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of the social media platforms. Now, before I get to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: telling you about true crime and one time that's back,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you some exciting news for our
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: very own, amazing and wonderful Lama. If you haven't seen

  Speaker 1: ask you all to go over to Couch Court with Lama,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: subscribe to her channel, even if you don't like court stuff.

• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you're new here, there was a time that Lama swore
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: she would not be on camera, Okay. Then she came
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on to help you know, stand in. Then she became
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a co host, then she got her own show. So
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: let's go show Lama some love and go over to

• 17:33
  Speaker 1: we will stream it on both. We're doing it for
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: multiple reasons. Okay, So don't think anybody's getting a divorce.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I did have somebody reach out to me and ask
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: since these changes happened, and we mentioned it while I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was on vacation. Is a lama trying to take over? No,
• 17:53
