• 2:53
  Speaker 1: three different cases, and this first case is very haunting.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It is a case that has puzzled investigators and broken
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the hearts of family and friends for over forty years. Guys,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'm fifty four. That's a long time. Okay, that's a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: long time. Forty years. This is the case of Elizabeth
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Ann Miller, who disappeared from Idaho Springs, Colorado, and the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: summer of nineteen eighty three. Elizabeth Ann Miller was known
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: as Beth to her loved ones. She was just fourteen
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: years old when she went missing. Guys, I was fourteen
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that summer, So think about it. I want you to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: just stop for a minute. I'm fifty four now, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: if I went missing forty years ago, think about it,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that I would have missed out graduating, high school, marriage, kids, grandkids.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Just think and imagine my family and loved ones going
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to bed every night wondering where I was. Now. It
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was August sixteenth, and it was a sunny summer day
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in Idaho Springs. Beth had gone for a jog around
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: noon near her home on Minor Street. She was athletic
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and active, so a midday run wasn't unusual for her.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That is one place Beth and I differ. I see
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: people jogging, and I have a friend at jobs, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I always ask, who is chasing you? Girl? Why are
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you doing that? So Beth and I definitely differ that way.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I chose to swim instead of run. Now, after Beth
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: went on this midday run, she never returned home. Guys
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and her family realized something was wrong and they quickly
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: reported her missing. And they knew this was no case
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of a runaway. Beth left behind her beloved dog, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: she had been so so excited to start her freshman
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: year of high school, which was only days away. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: her family and friends described her as a happy, outgoing
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: teenager with a bright future ahead of her, and she
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: would not have run away. Now, law enforcement launched a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: massive search for Beth. Over two hundred volunteers scoured the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: rugged train of the area, including nearby trails and waterways.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And guys, that's a lot of volunteers. And if someone
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sees this and you were one of those volunteers, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just want to take a minute to say thank you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: That is hard work looking for someone, So thank you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to anyone who ever volunteers for searches like that. Now,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: helicopters were also deployed to search from the skies, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: law enforcement conducted door to door interviews with local residents.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Got to remember, guys, we didn't have social media back then.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: They couldn't just log onto Facebook and Twitter and TikTok
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and Instagram and post flyers. They literally went door to door.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But guys, despite their efforts, no physical evidence of Beth
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: or even traces of her clothing, has ever been found. Now,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: there have been various reports received for this case. One
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was that a witness saw a man in the park
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time and that he might have been
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: speaking with Beth. He was in a small red nineteen
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: seventy five or seventy six pickup truck which had a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: white camper shell and an out of state license plate. Guys,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that description. I know. Camber shells were a big deal
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: back then. I mean my parents had ol caminos with
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: camper shells on the back, and then my parents had
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think, oh, I forget what it was, maybe a bronco. Anyway,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: they had a big truck thing that had a camper
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on It wasn't uncommon then. Nowadays I think of those
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: as petty vans. So yes, I'm a little weird. Another
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: report stated that a man had flirted with Beth and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the days prior to her disappearance, and he appeared to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be angry when she refused to have a conversation with him. Guys,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: she was fourteen, So why the hell a man was
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: flirting with a fourteen year old? Right off? The bat
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: tells me, this guy, that's just a creeper. Now, this
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: man called himself Claude. He wore prescription glasses with a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: blue tint, and he was fair skinned, color length, light
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: brown hair pulled off to one side, and they said
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he weighed about one hundred and seventy five pounds. He
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was in a pickup truck with blue or black lettering
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and brown stripes down the side. Then, a year after
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: best disappearance, investigators stated that they believed eighteen year old
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Robert Arnold Storm had been potentially involved. Now he was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: being held in El Paso County Jail at the time
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this year later for an unrelated crime. Guys, it is
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: unknown to the public if anything came of this. Now
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: witnesses also came forward and stated that they had seen
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Edward at Padaca I think talking with Beth three days
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: before she disappeared. They were in a red pickup truck
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: with a camper shell. Told you camper shells were a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: big deal back then. He was from New Mexico and guys,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he was later murdered in nineteen ninety by his wife
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and mother in law. Okay, I just have to stop
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: right there. You know, we don't know if he was involved,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but if your wife and mother in law get together
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to kill you, maybe he wasn't a good person. Maybe Now,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a former girl friend of Edward's, Viola Moya, claimed she
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: assisted Edward in burying best body in the mountains near
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Idaho Springs. The area was searched with cadaver dogs. Now,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a presence of human remains were detected, but no remains
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: were actually found. Also, an Ohio man who remains unidentified
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: has been investigated as a suspect in the case for years. Then,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five, two years after Beth vanished, convicted
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: murderer Frank Rodriguez confessed to killing her. Rodriguez was already
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: serving time for separate murder and he claimed he had
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: buried best body in Empire, Colorado, which was a nearby town. However,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: when police followed up on his confession and searched the area,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: no remains were found, and they ultimately said his feshion
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was deemed unreliable. Guys, that's a lot of different people
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to investigate. It sounds like this police department and law
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: enforcement officers really went above and beyond investigating every single
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: thing that came in. Over the years, numerous tips, tips
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: have poured in. In nineteen eighty five, there was a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: female in Florida that was thought to be Beth. Guys,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: her parents flew to Florida and it was later confirmed
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the girl was not Beth. Now, psychics, anonymous callers, and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: potential witnesses have come forward to this date. None of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that information has led to Beth, and as time has
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: gone on, the case has grown colder, leaving her family
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: with the memories of who she was, what she could
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have been, and a lot of unanswered questions. Now, eight
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: years after Beth vanished, her sister, Lynn McLaughlin became an
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Idaho Springs police officer and then joined the clear Crete
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office, where she led the investigation into her
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: sister's disappearance. Lynn that gives me goosebumps and is amazing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And if you want to go and give it a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: goog you can find some different articles and videos where
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Lynn has talked to reporters. She is amazing, Okay, truly amazing.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Now Lynn has stated to the News that the initial
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: investigation was so bungled that it has made it near
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: impossible to complete the job of finding out what happened,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and a two thousand and seven grand jury report about
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Beth's disappearance bolsters Lynn's claim. It points to documents and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: statements that were lost or destroyed and jurisdictional disputes, so
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they basically different jurisdictions in a pissing contest because they
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: were not interested in finding Beth. They were interested in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: being the one that found bath. They didn't want to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: all play together and bring this girl home. They wanted
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: them to get the glory if it was done. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the grand jury said that they were at fault for
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: slowing and eventually sabotaging the investigation, and I flipp and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: agreed with them. And I will never understand why different
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: agencies can't put their shit aside and do its best
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: for the missing person and their family. Who cares if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you get the glory? Don't you just want to find
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this person? I mean, she was a fourteen year old girl.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: What's more important at the little notch on your belt
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that you've found somebody, or that you find this fourteen
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: year old girl, or worst case, you find her body
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and you bring her family closure. Okay, I won't go
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: off on one of my tangents. Elizabeth Ann Miller would
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: be fifty four years old today, just like me. Guys,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: let that sink in. Her family has been searching for
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: answers for over four decades. Guys, that's a lifetime. That's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a lifetime of grief, wondering, waiting and just not knowing
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and asking what, why? Where? How? Just so many questions.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: That is absolute torture. That to me is more torturous
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: than you locking me in a room and making me
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: listen to Christmas music's twenty four hours a day. And guys,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: listening to Christmas music twenty four hours a day is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a way to torture Terry and make Terry go to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the insane asylum. Not saying I don't like Christmas music.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I don't need a NonStop for twenty four hours. Play
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: three or four, then play a couple other things. Mix
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it up for me. Okay, Now, all of you that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: are watching, listening, or watch this later, don't come at me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not a scrooge. Sam. If you're watching or if
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you hear this, I know you're that person that loves
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Christmas more than anyone, and I bet you love Christmas songs.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I just want you to know I love you for that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And I know it's okay that I can only listen
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to a couple at a time because I bet you, Sam,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you listen to all of them for me. So if
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you know of any good ones, let me know, because
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: my favorite Christmas tune right now is all I want
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: for Christmas is a real good time. Okay, So to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: this day, there's still no physical evidence, and as I said,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: no remains have been found. Someone out there knows something, guys,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: whether it's a detail that's been overlooked, or if it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a secret you've carried all of these years, it's time
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to tell her family deserves closure and Beth deserves to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: be found. So please please do the right thing. Okay,
• 15:34

• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Ann Miller, please contact the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at

• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the right thing. Forty years of hell for this family,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: forty years of hell. Sorry, I'm feeling a little emotional today.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. So forgive me for being just
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a tad bit emotional and a little bit tangentent. E Oh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I want to say I see Amy for justices here
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and Lady and Gray, Hey, ladies, thank you for joining.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: See I actually read comments. I can't type and respond
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: because we all know I'm not that talented. Now, next
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: we delve into a very perplexing case of Stephen Keith Roberson,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: who is a twenty six year old oil filled flowback supervisor.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And if you want to know what an oil filled
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: flowback supervisor is, I'm going to recommend you go watch
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: land Man, the new Taylor Sheridan show. Growing up in Texas,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: my dad was in the wild business. I know all
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff about that. If you want to know
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the details, go watch land Man. It's a pretty good
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: show now. Keith vanished under mysterious mysterious circumstances in September
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen near Sonora, Texas. So Keith was last seen
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on the evening of September fifth, twenty eighteen. He was
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: driving eastbound on Interstate ten, which, guys, is a vast
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: stretch of highway cutting through the expansive terrains of Texas.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: If you've never been to Texas, and if you've only
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: seen it on a map, Texas is hella big, hella big.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It takes a long time to drive across Texas. An
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I ten is a vast stretch of concrete. Now. For
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: reasons still unknown, Keith's vehicle crossed the median into the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: westbound lanes and he collided with an oncoming vehicle and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: came to rest off the westbound side of the road. Now,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: when authorities arrived at the scene, they found his car,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: but Keith was nowhere to be found. Guys, he could
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: have fallen asleep while he was driving. I mean, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: think we've all probably done that. Now. The sudden and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: explain and explained nature of Keith's disappearance has left his
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: family and his community came from searching for answers. His
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: mother described him as a dedicated worker and a loving son,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: which makes his absence all the more distressing to her.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Now I'm going to share several theories with you that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: have emerged about his disappearance, and as we know Terry does.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you my two cents, and just
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: remember my two sins isn't worth a lot. If you
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: want a lot of sins, you're gonna want JT. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: think he's thirty five cents, so I'm only two cents.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I'm really cheap. Now, Accidental injury one of the theories is.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Given the crash, it's possible stained injuries and wandered away
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: from this scene disoriented and in need of help. Which, guys,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that seems weird to me and not very plausible because
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I would hope that police would have searched the area
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: fully and if he was injured, could he have really
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: gotten that far away? I mean, it's not like he
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: could go twenty miles in just a few minutes, right,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So that doesn't seem very good to me. So if
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you think that's possible, let me know in the comments. Now,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the other one is voluntarily walked away from his life,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So some speculate that Keith may have chosen to leave
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: his life behind. Now, his family and friends say they
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: find that unlikely. Unlikely. Now, I want to tell you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I find this interesting because how could he have known
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that he was going to get into a wreck and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: use that as a cover to leave his life? I mean,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: think it. Yeah, he could have planned to cross the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: median and try to wreck a car. How did he
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: know he didn't wouldn't get into a fatality, that he
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be killed in that wreck. So, if you're going
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to walk away from your life, I don't think running
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: into another car on Interstate ten, where you're going fifty
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: five sixty five miles an hour, is a way to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: walk away from your life. So, in my thoughts, not
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: very likely. What do you guys, think on that one.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Now this next one, I don't know why. It just
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: goes bing bean for me. Foul play. So the circumstances, race,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: concern and potential foul play, especially considering it was a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: remote location and there were no immediate witnesses. Guys, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: believe this is most likely the best theory. Okay, Now
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say we could couple that with the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: first one that he got disoriented walked off off. What
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: if he was disoriented and walked off and then something
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of farious happened. What if some bad person saw this
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: injured person and said, ooh, today is my lucky day.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I can you know? Do excuse me? Do this? This
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is easy pickins. I think foul play. I would love
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to know your theories out of those three, So if
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you'll drop your thoughts in the comments, I will read
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: them and let you know. Now, despite extensive searches and investigations,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: no substantial leads have surfaced. Okay. The Texas Department of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Public Safety continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Key's family remained steadfast in their search for answers and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: keeping his story alive through social media campaigns and community outrage.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Kudos to that family. You know, we talked to a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: lot of families with doing this show and the emotional
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: toll it takes on them to do that is a lot. Guys,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just us covering the story takes an emotional toll on me,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: our producer, you know, our system producer. Imagine being the family. Okay,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: think of the toll that takes. They do urge anyone
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: with even the smallest piece of information to share it
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: because they want to know what happened, and you can
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: hold the key to unravel the mystery. So if you
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: have any information about the disappearance of Stephen Keith Roverson,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: please contact the Texas DPS at one eight four four
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: six four three two two five one. And remember even
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the smallest detail could make a difference. Guys, as always,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I know I'm a broken record. You can anonymously report
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to FBI dot gov slash tips. Now this next case,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I know, we tell you, guys, I don't we just
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: put the case names in, We don't put the city states,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and then they just randomly get picked, get investigated. We
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: put the story together. Last two cases are from Texas.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if our assistant producer Amy was thinking I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: was needing a little Texas love. But Thomas Charles JT
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Murray Junior was a young man who disappeared in twenty
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: eleven from Spring Texas. Guys, if you've never been to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Spring Texas, you should go visit it. They have the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: cutest little downtown double h And I actually traveled from
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Dallas and spent the day on Valentine's Day in I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: think two thousand and four in Spring Texas and we
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: got engaged that night. So Spring Texas kind of holds
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the memory for me. But let's set this On October eighteenth,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven. TJ was a junior at sam Houston State University.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: He was majoring in business and psychology, and he spent
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: his evening umpiring a Little league baseball game, which is
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a testament to his love for the sport in his
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: community involvement. Because guys, if you've never been to a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: little league baseball game, it's not the kids that are
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the problem, it's the parents. I mean, even growing up,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I've shared before that my dad was an alcoholic. My
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: poor brother, the refs and buyers through my dad at
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: of so many games for running his mouth. And when
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I was a soccer coach for my kids when they
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: were little. Oh my god, the parents were awful. So
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: he tells you. TJ was a good guy. Now. Later
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that night, he decided to unwind with friends and he
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: visited several bars along Sawdust Road in Spring, Texas. He
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: was driving his father's Forward f one point fifty pickup
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and he went on to the Rock Sports Bar and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Grill and left it there as he joined friends to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: visit other nearby establishments. There's several bars and places right
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: next to each other. Now, at approximately twelve thirty am
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: on October nineteenth, TJ was at Rookie Sports Bar and Grill.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: An altercation occurred, leading to JT being asked to leave
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the premises. Now concern for his safety, a friend contacted
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: TJ's brother James, informing him about the situation and suggesting
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: he picked TJ up. Guys, James arrived promptly. They said
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: he got there quick. He was like Jimmy on the spot.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: TJ was nowhere to be found. His family reported him missing.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Now police started looking into the case, and they reviewed
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: surveillance footage at Rookies that captured him walking south from
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the bar alone. That is the last confirmed sighting of
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: TJ and the group that he had a confrontation with
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: didn't leave the bar until one am. The bar security
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: staff held them there, most likely to avoid any further disturbances.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: They didn't want a road house situation where they took
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it outside to the parking lot, and this was confirmed
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: by law enforcement by them watching the surveillance video of
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the bar. The group was then tracked by law enforcement
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to another bar, Feather South and they're seen on video there. Now,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: one really crazy thing. TJ's cell phone was discovered near
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the twenty five hundred block of Borough Park Drive with
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the back cover and battery removed. Guys, this detail raises
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions and a lot of red flags. Okay,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: they say it's believed that it had been thrown from
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a vehicle. Guys, I gotta say this, if you throw
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a phone out the window, I don't think the battery
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: comes off. Maybe I'm wrong because I always have a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: cover on mine, but that to me, it's just weird.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: And Guys, his father's truck remained parked at on the rocks, untouched,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and this leads me to think he was somewhat thinking
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: clearly because most people I know who've been out drinking
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: think that they're okay to drive. Okay, Uber wasn't a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: big thing back then. I don't even think uber was
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a thing then. So this leads me to think that
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: he was thinking clearly because he didn't get in his
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: truck and drive off because I don't know it just
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: but he had to walk back towards his truck to
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: get it. Something happened between the bar he was at
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: getting back on the rocks or I don't know. It
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: just makes me baffled. Now. Investigators have also said they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: received information that TJ was a low level drug dealer
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and that he had plans to meet someone to buy
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: weed that night, and that he had a lot of
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: cash on him and guys, if he was scheduled to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: meet someone to sell them weed, wouldn't he have walked
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: straight to his truck. I mean, that's what leads me
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to believe something had to happen between Bar one and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Bar two. So because I find that very speculation from
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: law enforcement and guys, my first thought was as law
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: enforcement trying to somewhat blame him, because you know, if
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: he was a low level drug dealer was going to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: buy pot, maybe deserved what he got, you know, which
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is total bullshit. But that's my opinion. Sorry, I'm getting
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: off track. Law enforcement conducted searches in nearby wooded areas
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and followed up on tips, but no significant evidence has
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: ever surfaced. Over the years, various rooms and theories emerged. However,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: nothing concrete has ever come to light. And Guys, Teja
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: story isn't just a headline or a statistic. Once again,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it's a family's nightmare. I want you to think about
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: this again. Imagine waking up every day wondering where your
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: child is, replaying every detail of that night. Think of
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: his brother James, who jumped in his truck and they
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: said he was there like within minutes. I mean, Spring
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is not a big town. So you think about that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: this happened in a blink of an eye, and it
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is heartbreaking, Okay, just heartbreaking. One thing that's important to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: highlight is how crucial community involvement is. Maybe someone saw
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: something that didn't seem significant at the time, or maybe
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: they've hurt a rumor and they've been hesitant to share. Guys,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: share that rumor. Spring, Texas is not a big town.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Someone knows what the flip happened, and I want you
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to think about this. Every little detail counts. If you
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: were the person that was going to meet him to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: get drugs, call the police and let them know, give
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: them the information. They're not going to come after you.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Just give any information, because cases go cold when we
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: stop talking about them. But that's why we're here at
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Midday Missing. We don't want that to happen. We want
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about these cases. So if you have any
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: information about TJ. Murray's disappearance, please contact the Montgomery County
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office at nine thirty six seven six zero five
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: eight zero zero. Guys, I'm also going to ask you
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: share all of the missing person flyers that will be
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: posted on our social media after we finish and wrap
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: up today. It's the holidays, guys. What greater gift could
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you give someone then sharing the information that you possibly
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: have that could give them the answers to their missing
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: loved ones. That would be an amazing gift. I bet
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you that family would say, we want nothing else, nothing
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: under the tree, just that. Okay, So I want to
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: thank you all for joining me today. Now, today's live
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: stream will be the last Midday Missing for twenty twenty four.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: We will be back in January with new cases. We
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: are taking off the next several weeks to research cases
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: for January, finish doing some interviews with families that we've
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got scheduled, and can I also take some time to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: decompress and spend some time with our loved ones. However,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: JT and I will be live on Thursday night with
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: True Crime and Wine Time. Guys, we will have Javier
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: from the Pretend Podcast on with us live. Okay, if
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you did not see our episode with Anthony Christopher, you
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: need to go watch it. Okay. Javier is the podcast
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: host of the Pretend Podcast who has done an amazing
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: job of getting Anthony's story out there. He's also covered
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: some other things that are just insane. He likes to
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: show where corruption is. So we are beyond excited that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Javier has taking the time out to meet with us
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: because he's a busy guy, so we are very very
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: grateful and blessed to have him. So you're gonna want

  Speaker 1: supposed to be some of the hottest out there. One
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of my besties is making me a dish that I
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to be in it, and I
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: have to eat it live on camera. That's just a
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: couple of things. So I can tell you it's going
