Gone But Not Forgotten: What Happened To Daniel Robinson? · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the inaugural episode of Gone
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: But Not Forgotten. In these segments, we're going to discuss
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: some of the other missing persons cases that have either
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: gone cold or are just not getting enough tread in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the legacy media. I think with all of the energy
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: surrounding Gabby's case, I think that this is the perfect
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: time to bring some more of these kinds of cases
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to the forefront. And you know the parents out there
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and the loved ones and the friends, they're all missing
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: these people like crazy. And I can't even imagine the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hole that would be in my life if one of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: my good friends or, God forbid, a family member went missing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And then to think nobody cares on top of it, well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that really got to be a backbreaker. So here on
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: these segments, the gone but not forgotten segments, which I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: plan on doing two or three of a week, we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: going to try and bring a little bit more light
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to these cases and a little bit more interest, perhaps. Now, obviously,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: there's so many of them. I can't really do a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: deep dive the way we're doing in the Gabby case.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But what I am going to do is the cases
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that we talk about, I'm going to pin them and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bookmark them. And every time I get
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: new information about one of these cases, we'll go back
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and we'll update that in an updated episode, even if
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it's only a five-minute update. Whatever it may be, we're
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: going to keep track of these cases that we talk about,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and we're going to see where they all go. Now,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of course, I'm not naive, right? There's only so much
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we can do. But I think that especially for somebody
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: with a platform who talks about this kind of thing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's important that we don't forget the other
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: people who are missing. And I think it's important that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we bring up their circumstances and their situations when we
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: talk about this sort of scenario that we see that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: played out, unfortunately, for Gabby and now the manhunt for Brian.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But there are countless numbers of people out there who
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are still missing. whose loved ones are still missing. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: on today's show, we're going to talk about one of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: those people. And this is a case that certainly hasn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: gotten that much attention. And that case is Daniel Robinson.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: He was a geologist who went missing in Buckeye, Arizona
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: on June 23rd after he left work. And nothing about
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this case makes sense. Nothing about his disappearance makes sense.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Nothing about the way the police have reacted makes sense.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And it certainly is not cool that it didn't get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: enough tread, not even locally. You see, it's very important
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that right away this stuff is talked about before it
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: has a chance to become cold, before it has a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: chance for clues to go away. So I think it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: important moving forward for the legacy media especially to report
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: on this stuff right away. even if they don't think
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it's going to get them clicks. Remember, I think that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of people and the media themselves especially have
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: forgotten their role. They're here to keep the people in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: power honest and to give us the information that's necessary
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for our lives. And having a bunch of our fellow
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: citizens going missing with no sign of where they are
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: or what's going on with them, I think that's pretty pertinent.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: At the very least, locally, they should be talked about.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: ad nauseum, at least a segment a day about missing
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: people in each state. But up until recently, we really
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: haven't seen that kind of energy. So I'm hoping that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with Gabby's parents coming out with the foundation and them
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: asking for people to be involved and to get more motivated,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I would hope that people would take that request seriously
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and that people who have the time. Now, look, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: don't I don't think that everybody has the time or
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the ability to do deep dives or start a podcast.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's not what I mean. But, you know, when you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: see one of these cases, repost it on your social media.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You never know who's going to see it. And I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: think the power of social media and the internet in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: general is very, very, very much a good thing when
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it comes to missing persons. So... I hope moving forward,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all of the energy that has been shown around the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Gabby case can be carried over to some of these
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: other missing persons cases. And as far as I go,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be here quarterbacking some of these stories for you folks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And hopefully they resonate with you. And hopefully some of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: these families that we talk about end up getting some
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: closure and end up finding their loved ones unharmed, unhurt,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and ready to come back home. With that said, let's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: jump into our first article. And our first case, like
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I said, is about Daniel Robinson. This is an article
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: from The Daily Beast. And the author is, the author
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is Brooke Lee Howard. This article was originally published on
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: September 27th of 2021. It's been more than three weeks
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: since David Robinson's son, a 24-year-old geologist working in Arizona,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: vanished without a trace after leaving his job site. Since then,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the devastated dad who's never given up searching for his child,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Daniel Robinson, has grown frustrated by the police's response. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you see this with a lot of the families of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: missing persons. They get really frustrated. A lot of times
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: they don't want to come out and speak against the police.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They don't want to, you know, maybe cause some friction
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in the investigation or whatever it may be. But a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: lot of times the families are not happy at all
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: with the way the police respond. And certainly Daniel's dad
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is not happy with the way his son's case was treated.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And I don't blame him. I really don't blame him.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: If the police stepped up to the plate, I wouldn't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be standing here now, David Robinson said Sunday. during a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: press conference in Arizona that he hoped would bring more
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: attention to the unsolved case. And, you know, it's the truth.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of times the police are very nonchalant about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: missing persons cases, right? Oh, that's an adult. They, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they probably went out and partied, this, that, the other thing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: When in reality, a lot of times it's not that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And I think that the police need to do a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: much better job here. And again, it goes back to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: funding and resources. And perhaps there needs to be a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: new sort of division created in each state that deals
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: with nothing but missing persons. We're talking about people here, folks.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Actual people. Not throwaways. Not people who don't matter. These
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: are people, dreams and hopes and loved ones. And all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of that just snuffed out in a moment of time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Daniel Robinson said, a black geologist went missing in Buckeye,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Arizona on June 23rd after leaving work. A rancher found
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: his vehicle, which had his phone, wallet, and keys inside,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in a ravine a few miles away from the job
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: site in July. Since then, there's been no sign of Daniel.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So that's definitely odd right away. No keys, no wallet,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: no nothing. They find all of this stuff in his vehicle,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Very odd. According to the young man's frustrated family members,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the police department's efforts haven't been thorough enough. They wish
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: their loved one's case would get the attention Long Island
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: native Gabby Petitos has, and they feel that race has
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: been a factor in the response to Daniel's case. They
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: need to do their part when it comes to urgency
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and not treat my son's disappearance in a nonchalant attitude,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: David Robinson told the Daily Beast. at the September 26th
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: press conference, they urged the police to do more to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: find Daniel. Yeah, they should do more to find Daniel.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And you know what? If I was his dad, I'd
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: probably feel the same exact way. It is unconscionable that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: anyone could or should be looked at as less than
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: for their ethnicity, their sex, their sexual preference. It does
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: not matter. When somebody's missing, and loved ones are concerned,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it's time to mobilize. It's time to find these people
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: if it's at all possible. Not just show up for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a preliminary look around and be like, well, we have
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: no idea. I think that the same energy should be
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: shown to every single case as if it was the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: people who were investigating that case, as if it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: their own loved one. I know that if I was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a detective, or if I was somebody involved in this,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that's the way I'd be pursuing it. It can't just
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: be a job, right? This has to be something you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: buy into. You're fully invested in. And a lot of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: times we don't see that. It took me three months
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to look at my son's picture. I'd just seen his car.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It took me three months to look at his car.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Daniel's mother, Melissa Edwards. told the crowd as she fought
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: back tears. You thought you felt pain? Try looking for
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: your child and not knowing where he is. That's heartbreaking.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely heartbreaking. And I can't even imagine for a second
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: how his mom or his dad must feel. Think about
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that helpless feeling in the pit of your stomach. knowing
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that there's nothing you can do to bring your child back,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and knowing that it seems like nobody else cares. It
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: must be a big blow. Over the last three months,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: David Robinson has launched his own search efforts for his son,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: traveling to Arizona from his home in South Carolina, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: even hiring a private investigator to help. He said he
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: first called the police about Daniel's disappearance on June 23rd
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and was told he had to wait 72 hours before
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: officially filing a missing persons report. He believes that because
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of that, the police lost critical time to find his son.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It took three days until they started the search, he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: told the Daily Beast, and again, it's not good enough.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You can't start the search that late, as those of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you who have been listening to my coverage of the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Gabby Petito case... It's too late when it's that many
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: days have passed. This has to be acted on right away.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Especially if it's a concerned parent calling you like this.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's an adult. Go do a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: wellness check. Show up. Figure it out. But again, it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: seems like people just don't care. And when it comes
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to missing persons cases, that certainly seems to be the case.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: There is no energy In these police departments. To find
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing. To try and locate these kinds
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of people. Now don't get me wrong. They do what
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they can. Right? I guess. But there's no energy surrounding it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't even say they do what they can. They
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: do the basic of the investigation. Well you know. The
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: person's an adult. They might have just disappeared. They might
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not want to be found again. They do this kind
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: of shit. As if you don't know your loved one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Here's an idea. I know my loved one better than
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you do. If I'm telling you they're missing, they're missing.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: At first, Robinson was hopeful they were doing all they
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: could to find Daniel. As an officer with the department
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: told him they were going to use a helicopter to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: search the area. He had gone out and searched the area.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: They were going to try and get a helicopter out
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: there in the morning, David Robinson said. But the next morning,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the officer called him back And told him the flight
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was cancelled. I mean really? You can't even get a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: helicopter up. Deploy a helicopter to go look for this dude.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And you wonder why this guy's family is pissed off.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I'd be mad too. And it's a shame. That the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: police couldn't even be bothered to get a chopper up.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: To do a search pattern over the last place this
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: gentleman was seen. Nah, too busy today, folks. We gotta
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: go bust some people for smoking pot instead. He said
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the higher-ups said it's because your son is a grown man,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and if he wants to leave, he can leave. They
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: won't authorize it, Robinson explained. I knew right then I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: needed to come here and find my son. I can't
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: even explain to you how annoying that is to read. What,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: because someone is a grown man, they can't be in distress,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they can't be lost, they can't be in need of help,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they can't be missing? What the hell kind of police
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: work is this? Not even an effort was made when
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it comes to this case. Not even a real effort.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Robinson has now been in Arizona since June 25th, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: he hasn't given up hope. My aim is to stay
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: here until I find my son, he said. Robinson has
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: conducted over seven weeks of independent searches with the help
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of volunteers from all over Arizona, cadaver dogs, and drones.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: He's launched social media campaigns and worked with the private
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: investigator to try and find a trace of his missing son.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You know, it's always the volunteers that step up, right?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: The selfless folks amongst us, the search and rescue teams,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the local hiking community, the SAR, the SAR people, They're
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: always the ones who step up in a situation like this. Meanwhile,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the police, well, who knows what they're doing. Not stopping
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: violent crime because it's skyrocketing through the roof these days,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: so I really don't know what they're up to. As
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: long as they can keep it as a missing person,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the police don't have to actually go look because he's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: an adult, David explained. They don't have to spend a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: lot of resources because he's an adult. If they turn
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it into a possible criminal case, for instance, then they
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: have to actually do some work. I can't get them
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to change that narrative despite all of the evidence my
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: investigator gave them. So it really just looks like they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to investigate. It's like, ah, he's a grown-ass man.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants. C'est la vie. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know where it says in police work
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: or any kind of law enforcement work that because someone's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a grown-ass adult that you shouldn't look for them or
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: care if they're missing. Because I don't think I've seen
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that part of the manual before. Jeff McGrath, the private
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: investigator that Robinson hired, said he doesn't rule out foul
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: play in the crash of Daniel's Jeep, as he believes
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: there's evidence the car was pushed into the ravine. McGrath
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: also said he found one of Daniel's socks three miles
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: from where the vehicle was recovered. Jesus. A sock three
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: miles from where the vehicle was recovered? I won't even
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: begin to speculate on what occurred here. But it sounds
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: pretty scary, honestly. Police, on the other hand, say that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Daniel's vehicle appeared to have rolled off the side of
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a cliff and have ruled out foul play based on
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the conditions of the vehicle after being found. In a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: partially released report, a Buckeye police list Daniel Robinson as
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a missing person. The 54-page report? also notes that cops
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: made efforts to locate Daniel on June 23rd, 24th, and 25th.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: It says that one of Daniel's co-workers told authorities that
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he was behaving oddly the day that he went missing
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and that he was only at the work site for
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: around 15 minutes before leaving. So, because he was acting oddly,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that just means we should say forget it? Full-on investigation
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: needs to be conducted here. And whatever happened to him,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that should be uncovered. At the very least, the effort
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: should be made. Not one cop showing up, taking a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: walk around and going home. The primary investigator on the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: case spoke with family members, other co-workers, and friends about
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: his whereabouts. Because large rainstorms had occurred in the area,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: police said they have washed away vehicle tracks. The detective
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: also determined that Daniel had not spent the lengthy amount
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of time in the car after it had crashed. So
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: what happened to him? That's the real question. They'll give
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you all the surroundings, right? Oh, well, he didn't spend
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: time in the car. He didn't do this. He didn't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: do that. But the real question is, where is Daniel Robinson?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: The Buckeye Police Department told the Daily Beast on Monday
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that investigators plan to meet with an outside expert to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: conduct more of a thorough analysis of the data from
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Daniel's vehicle in the coming days. They would have never
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: done any of that if the pressure wasn't put on him.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So kudos to Daniel's pops for going hard in the paint,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and kudos to all of you out there who have
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: looked at this story and seen that it was complete
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: BS the way he was treated, the way the case
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: has been treated, and have gave it some shine, because
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: guess what? It deserves it. and Daniel and his family,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they deserve a real look into where he went and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a real investigation into how it all occurred. Robinson said
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: his own independent search efforts have been stalled by a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: lack of resources. So he started a petition to push
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: cops to devote more time to his son's case. I've
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: been forced to start a petition so that the Buckeye
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: police could start searching for my son again, he said.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Imagine you have to start a petition? To get people
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to look for your kid? Unbelievable. I don't care if
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he's an adult. I don't care if the person's 60.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Show a little bit of backbone and conduct a proper search.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Robinson believes that racism played a role in what he
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: deems to be the police department's inadequate response to his
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: son's disappearance. I know it did, he said. I didn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: want to admit that you want the world to look
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a certain way and you want to feel a certain
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: way in life. Hey, look, you can't blame him for
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: feeling like that. You know, you see all of the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: interest in the news media around one case and you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: see nothing around your sons. And it's just natural to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: feel that way, to feel abandoned, to feel alone. and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's sad that he has to even feel that way
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: at all it's sad a sad testament to where things
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: are as a society still not only has Daniel's family
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: suffered from his disappearance but they also say they've been
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: shattered by racial abuse in the aftermath While David Robinson
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: checked the area where David's Jeep allegedly fell into the ravine,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a group of white men in a pickup truck drove
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: by yelling racial slurs at him, he alleged. David said
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: he recounted the incident to someone who lived in the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Buckeye area who told him to take his family and leave.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, really? There's a real deep, dark place in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hell for people who act like this, and there's no
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: place for it in civil society. Here's an idea. take
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: your redneck ass back to wherever you came from, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: shut up. I got people saying all kinds of things, like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I got your son, I'll break his legs, down to,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we're watching you, we want to see some bloodshed. People
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: don't know half the stuff that I have to deal with,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: especially racism-type stuff. Robinson said he immediately sympathized with Gabby
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Petito's family after hearing about her disappearance. He recognized that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: she was around his son's age and that her family
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: must be going through a similar nightmare. On Sunday, Robinson
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: said the Petito case should be a template for how
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: missing persons cases are handled in this country. I agree. Look,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: there is not anything that Mr. Robinson is saying here
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that I don't agree with. And you can only imagine
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: how he felt knowing that another family is going through this.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And for Gabby's family, on the flip side of that,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: They know the deal too, and they're showing that they
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: care by their foundation and the goals that they have
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: set out for that foundation. But this just happened, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it's on national news. It's on CNN. This is running
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: all day, he told the Daily Beast. I've been out
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: here for three months and had to start from scratch.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know nobody. I had to put a search
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: together that became more technical, have a website, two websites,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: trying to put things out, trying to get some attention,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: just trying to get Buckeye to do more than what
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they were doing. It kind of dawned on me later
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: on that race does play a part. When you're black,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you have to work twice as hard for everything. That's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what's happening here. I had to work twice as hard
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to get media attention, he said. Well, look, we're paying attention, Mr. Robinson.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And over here at beyond the horizon, we get it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And we understand. And we understand the frustration. And moving forward,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about all kinds of missing
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: people here. White, black, anything in between. For me, it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Your ethnicity, your race, your creed, your sexuality.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: What matters is that people and their families are hurting.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And with all of the energy surrounding the case of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Gabby and all of the people who seem to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: interested in this thing, I think that it's the proper
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: time and the right time to introduce these other cases
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: into the narrative. So that's exactly what we did here
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: with Episode 1, folks. And we'll be doing the same
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: moving forward. Now, again, if you have a case or
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: somebody who's missing that you would like me to discuss...
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: please shoot me some email, shoot me a link, and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I'll check it out and we'll add it to the catalog.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody. Remember, people might be gone, but that
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean they have to be forgotten. If you'd like
• 23:40
