- 1:25Speaker 1: just added it to my to do list. My to
- 1:28Speaker 1: do list has gotten so long that it's a most
- 1:32Speaker 1: couple of pages long. I might need to set me

- 1:44Speaker 1: need some help. So, like I said, I hope you
- 1:47Speaker 1: all are having a great Wednesday today. I have two
- 1:54Speaker 1: cases for us that are interesting, and I'm going to
- 2:02Speaker 1: try really hard not to get on my soapboxes or
- 2:05Speaker 1: my rants. You know, I promised I would stop trying
- 2:08Speaker 1: to do that, and now I'm trying to make my
- 2:12Speaker 1: screen where I can see everything on one of my
- 2:16Speaker 1: monitors instead of having all three of them. So I
- 2:21Speaker 1: am ready. So for those of you that are new here,

- 3:39Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Terry will be able to
- 3:43Speaker 1: enjoy wine more and not have to concentrate. So I
- 3:47Speaker 1: hope you guys are okay with that. Now I want
- 3:52Speaker 1: to tell you about Ian Kirk Wilcoxon. Ian Wilcoxen was
- 3:58Speaker 1: born February twenty second Nighteeen ninety two. Graduated from high
- 4:02Speaker 1: school in Conroe, Texas, and also served in the United
- 4:06Speaker 1: States Navy. Now Ian lived part time in Conroe and
- 4:10Speaker 1: part time in Boone, Colorado, which is Peblo County. The
- 4:15Speaker 1: reason I'm telling you that a lot of the online
- 4:17Speaker 1: stuff say he went missing in pe Pueblo, if I
- 4:21Speaker 1: could speak right, that was the county, not the actual city.
- 4:25Speaker 1: He actually lived in. Boone. Now Ian moved to Colorado
- 4:30Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty sixteen after being laid off
- 4:34Speaker 1: from his job and went to work on the Colorado
- 4:37Speaker 1: marijuana farm. Now, guys, I'm not sure if that rings
- 4:43Speaker 1: any bells for you, but it does for me. So
- 4:47Speaker 1: for those of you who haven't listened to any of
- 4:49Speaker 1: our special investigation into the disappearance of Chase Lackey, Chase
- 4:54Speaker 1: Lackey was from Crosbys, Texas, but lived in Houston. Crosby
- 4:59Speaker 1: is like a little small suburb of Houston, kind of
- 5:02Speaker 1: like Conroe, and growing up in that area, I mean,
- 5:07Speaker 1: I knew people from Crosby, Magnolia, Conroe, Baytown, but all
- 5:12Speaker 1: of it to me is Houston because you can get
- 5:15Speaker 1: across everywhere. Right now, Chase lost his job in January
- 5:21Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen and started working on a marijuana farm
- 5:25Speaker 1: in California, and then he went missing in July of
- 5:28Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Okay, both In and Chase are good looking, fit,
- 5:35Speaker 1: all American young white men, and both went missing within
- 5:40Speaker 1: a year of working on a marijuana farm after losing
- 5:45Speaker 1: their jobs. Now, I'm not saying that the reason they
- 5:48Speaker 1: went missing is because of the marijuana farms. I, however,
- 5:53Speaker 1: am just stating the facts, and to me, it is
- 5:57Speaker 1: suspicious is all get out. So it's just suspicious and
- 6:05Speaker 1: it's going to get a little bit more suspicious as
- 6:08Speaker 1: I continue. So I just want you to put a
- 6:11Speaker 1: pin in that. Okay Ian was last seen in Boom, Colorado,
- 6:17Speaker 1: on the morning of January fourth, twenty seventeen. Okay I
- 6:21Speaker 1: was scheduled to fly back to the Houston area, but
- 6:24Speaker 1: his flight was canceled due to bad weather and he
- 6:27Speaker 1: never rebooked on another flight. Now, me being me, I
- 6:32Speaker 1: went to check out the weather in Houston because you
- 6:36Speaker 1: don't get all the ice and stuff as much as
- 6:38Speaker 1: you do in Dallas, So I wanted to go see
- 6:40Speaker 1: what the weather was like to see if they canceled
- 6:43Speaker 1: the flight because of Houston well, the high was fifty
- 6:46Speaker 1: six and the low was forty nine, and it was
- 6:49Speaker 1: a tad bit windy, So no reason that the flight
- 6:52Speaker 1: was canceled on the Houston in. So then I went
- 6:56Speaker 1: to check Colorado Springs. Nowhere do they say which airport
- 7:00Speaker 1: Ian was supposed to fly out of Colorado Springs. I
- 7:04Speaker 1: looked up, is the closest to Boon. So I looked
- 7:08Speaker 1: at their weather. Twenty seven was the high and the
- 7:12Speaker 1: low was sixteen, and there was some light snow and
- 7:20Speaker 1: it was windy. So I'm not sure if the flight
- 7:24Speaker 1: was canceled due to weather they're at their airport. I
- 7:28Speaker 1: kind of, in my thin bring up there think that
- 7:32Speaker 1: maybe the plane that was coming from somewhere else into
- 7:36Speaker 1: Colorado Springs hit bad weather. I know with all of
- 7:39Speaker 1: my travels for work and stuff, I've had flights canceled
- 7:43Speaker 1: due to weather. And I'm sitting in an airport where
- 7:45Speaker 1: it is sunny and beautiful outside, and it's because my
- 7:49Speaker 1: plane was stuck somewhere else because of weather. So that
- 7:53Speaker 1: is my two cents, and please don't ask for change
- 7:57Speaker 1: on my two cents. Okay, Now, the other interesting thing
- 8:03Speaker 1: about N's disappearance, nowhere could I find any report saying
- 8:07Speaker 1: that he had left for the airport, or did he
- 8:11Speaker 1: know before going to the airport that it was canceled?
- 8:15Speaker 1: None of that, Okay. All I could see was that
- 8:20Speaker 1: he went missing that morning. Didn't say what he was
- 8:23Speaker 1: doing when he went morning, you know, missing that morning,
- 8:27Speaker 1: and the only personal items missing or his clothes, he
- 8:31Speaker 1: was wearing his phone, his keys, his wallet, and his gun. Now,
- 8:38Speaker 1: before anybody gets on to the gun situation, remember he
- 8:43Speaker 1: was from Texas, He served in the Navy, and he
- 8:46Speaker 1: worked on a marijuana farm. Pretty good reason to carry
- 8:49Speaker 1: a gun, Okay. Now, on Wednesday, January fourth, when he
- 8:55Speaker 1: went missing, he had communicated with his landlord back in
- 8:57Speaker 1: Texas that he would pay his rent when he arrived.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That leads me to believe he went to the airport,
- 9:04Speaker 1: or at least he thought he was going to go
- 9:06Speaker 1: to the airport, because how else would he say that
- 9:12Speaker 1: he would pay when he got there with him not
- 9:14Speaker 1: you know, rescheduling that flight. Now, I found report that
- 9:19Speaker 1: his last communication was a text at ten am. They
- 9:23Speaker 1: did not say who the text was with, and I
- 9:28Speaker 1: believe it was on the Facebook page I saw his
- 9:30Speaker 1: sister or family member said his phone stopped pinging and
- 9:33Speaker 1: working the night after he went missing, assuming that it died. Okay. Now,
- 9:43Speaker 1: the other thing about this case is that he left
- 9:47Speaker 1: behind both of his vehicles, but he took his keys,
- 9:51Speaker 1: so he didn't drive to the airport, he didn't drive
- 9:54Speaker 1: wherever he went, his car was still there, both of them, okay,
- 9:58Speaker 1: as well as the rest of his personal belongings. Nowhere
- 10:02Speaker 1: could I find who was the last person to see him.
- 10:06Speaker 1: He did have a roommate, I couldn't find the roommate's name.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I couldn't find any of that. So I'm not sure
- 10:13Speaker 1: why there is so little of information. But once again, guys,
- 10:18Speaker 1: all very similar to Chase's case. He went missing without
- 10:23Speaker 1: his vehicles as well. Now, police have said that there
- 10:27Speaker 1: was nothing at the residence that suggested foul play. So
- 10:31Speaker 1: in Terry's cop term brain, that means it didn't look
- 10:35Speaker 1: like a crime scene. There was no blood splatter, and
- 10:40Speaker 1: the house had not been ransacked. Okay, So that's my
- 10:44Speaker 1: little bit of brain there. Now here's the other thing, guys.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I can tell you that Ian and Chase knew each other,
- 10:54Speaker 1: and that they had each other's contacts in their phone,
- 10:58Speaker 1: and there had been communication between the two. Now, how
- 11:03Speaker 1: did they know each other? I have no clue. I mean,
- 11:06Speaker 1: both being from Houston around the same age, could have
- 11:10Speaker 1: met in the clubs, could have met seeing friends, or
- 11:14Speaker 1: they could have met from working on the marijuana farms.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Now I don't know if Ian has any connections to
- 11:23Speaker 1: Addison Guerrera or Matt Brewer, who are the friends of
- 11:27Speaker 1: Chase who police know and we all know lied about
- 11:31Speaker 1: the interactions with Chase the weekend he went missing. Just
- 11:35Speaker 1: very suspicious that it's kind of the same thing. They
- 11:41Speaker 1: both went missing. Nobody knows exactly when they went missing.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Their last communication was a text, Chase's last communication was
- 11:49Speaker 1: a text. There's just a lot of similarities there, Okay,
- 11:54Speaker 1: so it's interesting. Now Ian's family desperately wants to know
- 12:00Speaker 1: what happened to him. They want to bring him home.
- 12:03Speaker 1: So if you have any information about Ian will Coxon's
- 12:06Speaker 1: disappearance or any information around his life at that time,
- 12:10Speaker 1: feel free to call me and tell me. Because there's
- 12:12Speaker 1: not a lot out there on this. Police are keeping
- 12:15Speaker 1: it pretty under wraps, and I didn't see where the
- 12:18Speaker 1: family was putting a whole lot out there either, So
- 12:22Speaker 1: please call the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office at seven point
- 12:25Speaker 1: nine five eight three sixty two fifty, or you can
- 12:30Speaker 1: call anonymously crime Stoppers at seven point nine five four
- 12:34Speaker 1: to two. Stop guys. I don't know what the numbers
- 12:38Speaker 1: are for that, but it's stp now. Ian is five
- 12:42Speaker 1: foot nine, weigh one hundred and fifty five pounds at
- 12:45Speaker 1: the time he went missing as blonde hair and blue eyes.
- 12:48Speaker 1: You can also follow the case updates at help find
- 12:51Speaker 1: Ian Wilcoxon on Facebook. I will say, not a lot
- 12:56Speaker 1: of updates. They're in no shame to the family. I
- 13:00Speaker 1: mean seven years. You've got to get on with life.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you balance looking for
- 13:06Speaker 1: a loved one and getting on of life. I really
- 13:10Speaker 1: do not know. Okay, I don't know. Now I want
- 13:16Speaker 1: to know, Angie, why you hate flying? Is there a
- 13:21Speaker 1: story behind that? If so, I need to know what
- 13:24Speaker 1: it is. So, oh, thank you. So for crime Stoppers
- 13:30Speaker 1: it is seven one nine five four two seven eight
- 13:34Speaker 1: six seven. Thank you, Angie. I was like, how do
- 13:39Speaker 1: I do that? I you probably just looked at your phone.
- 13:43Speaker 1: So next we're going to go on to Brandon Abbot,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and Brandon Abbot was a typical fifteen year old northern
- 13:56Speaker 1: California teenager. Okay, Brandon left his home sometime between ten
- 14:02Speaker 1: pm on January sixteenth, twenty twenty two and nine am
- 14:07Speaker 1: on January seventeenth, twenty twenty two. Before I get into
- 14:12Speaker 1: this case, I'm going to tell you there's a lot
- 14:14Speaker 1: of things about this case that pisses me off. Okay,
- 14:18Speaker 1: a lot of things. So just be prepared. I will
- 14:22Speaker 1: try to keep the language in check, but just be prepared. Now,
- 14:26Speaker 1: Brandon was a freshman at Pleasant Hills College Park High School.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Why such a long name for the school? Can we
- 14:34Speaker 1: just say pleasant Hills Park High School? Do we have
- 14:36Speaker 1: to throw in the college part? Do we? Because it
- 14:40Speaker 1: just makes it longer? And his family says he left
- 14:44Speaker 1: the house through his bedroom window and has not been
- 14:48Speaker 1: seen since. Now sadly, Abbott is his last name, Abbett.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Now he left. Let me back up. The family ran
- 15:05Speaker 1: into issues. Guys, I talk with my hands if y'all
- 15:08Speaker 1: can see the bottom of my hands. The family ran
- 15:10Speaker 1: into issues with local law enforcement, who did not take
- 15:14Speaker 1: his disappearance seriously because they treated it like he was runaway.
- 15:20Speaker 1: And guys, it took many months to get the police
- 15:24Speaker 1: to investigate Brandon's disappearance. By the time police went around
- 15:30Speaker 1: looking for video or photos from cameras in the area,
- 15:34Speaker 1: it was almost a year later, and as you would expect,
- 15:38Speaker 1: all footage had been deleted. People record over stuff. I mean,
- 15:42Speaker 1: come on, who pays for unlimited footage on cameras and guys.
- 15:46Speaker 1: This pisses me off because even if the police think
- 15:49Speaker 1: he ran away because he was a typical teenager, that
- 15:53Speaker 1: he was just blowing off steam, bad shit happens when
- 15:58Speaker 1: teenagers or people in general out alone at night. So
- 16:02Speaker 1: why in the hell didn't they start looking for him sooner? Okay,
- 16:05Speaker 1: it's not like I had a criminal background, you know.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I mean, if he was a runaway and they found him,
- 16:12Speaker 1: torche him with something, make him pay a hefty fine
- 16:15Speaker 1: and do a hell of a lot of community service.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Don't just tell the family, oh, he's a runaway, deal
- 16:21Speaker 1: with it, he'll come home. You don't do that, because,
- 16:24Speaker 1: like I said, that shit happens. You crawl out the window.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I mean, even kids who sneak out. Nobody knows he
- 16:33Speaker 1: ran away. Okay, you don't know that. Okay, you don't
- 16:40Speaker 1: just sit on your hands and say it's not our problem, okay,
- 16:46Speaker 1: And don't even come at me, guys and say he's
- 16:49Speaker 1: a guy, he can take care of himself. Bullshit. Anyone
- 16:53Speaker 1: can be a victim. And we all knew that, okay,
- 16:57Speaker 1: we all knew that. Now I found an art article
- 17:00Speaker 1: where the dad whose name is Andrew told a reporter
- 17:03Speaker 1: that they had trouble even getting local shops and even
- 17:07Speaker 1: one of Brandon's teachers to put up missing flyers. Okay, guys,
- 17:12Speaker 1: what the actual help put up the damn fire? It
- 17:16Speaker 1: cost you nothing but a piece of tape, some window
- 17:20Speaker 1: or counter space. Right, what does it cost a business
- 17:25Speaker 1: to put up a flyer? It doesn't cost you anything.
- 17:30Speaker 1: And I'm sure Brandon's dad would have been happy to
- 17:32Speaker 1: give you a piece of tape if that was the problem.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And if you wanted to say, oh, it clutters it up,
- 17:38Speaker 1: he's missing, okay, even if he wanted to run away,
- 17:42Speaker 1: or even if he wanted to go out and see
- 17:46Speaker 1: a girlfriend, you know, because listen, maybe he was talking
- 17:52Speaker 1: to a girl or a person that he thought was
- 17:55Speaker 1: a girl online. What if he left to meet her
- 17:58Speaker 1: during the night, only to be abducted by a guy
- 18:02Speaker 1: who is pretending to be the teenager. I mean, seriously,
- 18:06Speaker 1: people use your damn brain. Police, you two use your
- 18:12Speaker 1: damn brain. Now, Brandon's dad, Andrey admits Brandon's disappearance is
- 18:18Speaker 1: not the typical missing child case that gets attention. Guys.
- 18:23Speaker 1: He even said, when the media showed up and they
- 18:25Speaker 1: found out that he left on his own, in the circumstances,
- 18:29Speaker 1: they packed up and left. They packed up and left.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Why he is still missing? I just can't. And Andrew,
- 18:43Speaker 1: his dad, even made the comment, would it have been
- 18:45Speaker 1: different if he was a fifteen year old girl. I
- 18:49Speaker 1: don't know, because we know that there have been some
- 18:53Speaker 1: teenage girls that have gone somewhere and they don't get
- 18:57Speaker 1: publicity because they left on their own. You never know
- 19:01Speaker 1: what happens when they leave the house. People get trafficked
- 19:06Speaker 1: all the time. California big place for that problem. Okay,
- 19:12Speaker 1: So if you own a business, if you're a police officer,
- 19:16Speaker 1: if you're a human, if somebody asks you to please
- 19:20Speaker 1: put up a flyer or to help look for a
- 19:22Speaker 1: missing teenager who left on their own, do it. Okay. Now,
- 19:30Speaker 1: nowhere did I see that he was involved with drugs,
- 19:34Speaker 1: a gang or anything, and that he Brandon was a
- 19:38Speaker 1: quiet teenager. He had a small circle of friends, and
- 19:42Speaker 1: he pushed boundaries like teenagers, and he was a typical
- 19:48Speaker 1: teenager guys, So what the hell Now, it does get
- 19:54Speaker 1: a little bit more interesting here, Bascilla doesn't change my opinion, right. Jade,
- 19:59Speaker 1: who's Brandon's sister, did say that her mother tried to
- 20:03Speaker 1: talk her into leaving their dad's home and come live
- 20:08Speaker 1: with her after the parents had a nasty divorce. So
- 20:13Speaker 1: some of the media felt it was a parental abduction
- 20:16Speaker 1: and they weren't going to get involved. Jade said her
- 20:18Speaker 1: mother offered to send her to live with family in
- 20:21Speaker 1: another state, or she could live with her. So I'm
- 20:25Speaker 1: going to just say, everybody hate me if you want,
- 20:28Speaker 1: just go ahead, get ready at me on social media
- 20:32Speaker 1: or my email address, wherever you want. But to me,
- 20:35Speaker 1: it sounds like this mother was one of those who
- 20:39Speaker 1: used her kids as upon And I'm speculating that the
- 20:43Speaker 1: dad had custody as both kids lived with him. But
- 20:46Speaker 1: I did find an article where they went back and
- 20:48Speaker 1: forth for visitations. But I mean the mom was trying
- 20:54Speaker 1: to get her daughter to sneak out and come live.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Tells you that possibly could have had happened. But Andrew
- 21:02Speaker 1: his dad said he and his ex wife did not
- 21:06Speaker 1: agree on many things regarding the kids, probably why they
- 21:09Speaker 1: got divorced. Now, Brandon's mom don I mean dads who
- 21:15Speaker 1: aren't involved with their kids' lives. I call them sperm donors.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I need y'all to help me come up with a
- 21:21Speaker 1: moniker for moms who are not good momming. So she
- 21:26Speaker 1: tried to take the kids out of public school and homeschool.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Then without dad's permission, they argued about whether or not
- 21:34Speaker 1: the kids should get vaccinated because she wanted them homeschooled
- 21:39Speaker 1: in no vaccines. And they also disagreed on whether or
- 21:44Speaker 1: not he should get tested to see if he had
- 21:46Speaker 1: ADHD or learning disability. We will talk a little bit
- 21:51Speaker 1: more about that. Because Brandon and his dad, Andrew, argued
- 21:57Speaker 1: over homework. And now that Andrew who has all this
- 22:00Speaker 1: time to sit and think about it, and he thinks
- 22:03Speaker 1: about how he handled the homework situation, him not getting
- 22:07Speaker 1: it done. He parented like a lot of parents, Hey
- 22:11Speaker 1: you don't do this, I take away this. Hey you
- 22:14Speaker 1: don't do this. Your consequences are this. And now he's
- 22:19Speaker 1: looking back saying he thinks to son had a learning
- 22:22Speaker 1: disability or he had Adhd, Andrew, do not beat yourself up.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I'm a mom. I had two boys, and it's hard
- 22:32Speaker 1: to tell whether it's a learning disability ADHD, which one
- 22:36Speaker 1: of my kids had, or if they're just being brady teens.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So please let yourself off the hook. Okay. I want
- 22:43Speaker 1: to just tell y'all that let yourself off the hook. Okay,
- 22:47Speaker 1: because Andrew, you could not have known, and you were
- 22:51Speaker 1: raising two teenagers. Okay. Andrew said that on the last
- 22:55Speaker 1: night he saw him, he told Brandon, I love you.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Gave him a hub and that was around ten pm
- 23:02Speaker 1: on the sixteenth. Okay, Now we're going to get back
- 23:08Speaker 1: to Dawn, the mother, whose police have said has been
- 23:13Speaker 1: somewhat cooperative. I don't know what somewhat means, but somewhat cooperative,
- 23:19Speaker 1: and they searched her house. Now. Andrew says he has
- 23:24Speaker 1: not heard from his ex wife since the phone call
- 23:28Speaker 1: where he called to tell her their son was missing. Really,
- 23:36Speaker 1: all she said was yeah, I don't know anything about it, basically,
- 23:40Speaker 1: I mean, she wasn't interested. Please tell me what the
- 23:47Speaker 1: hell now. Jade has now cut off all contact with
- 23:52Speaker 1: her mother, which I want to say, good for you, Jade.
- 23:56Speaker 1: You have the right to cut toxic parents out of
- 23:59Speaker 1: your life. I mean, she sold her Now you can
- 24:02Speaker 1: do what you want. I believe she's eighteen now, so
- 24:05Speaker 1: you can do that. Guys, don never helped hand out flyers.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Do any searches, any interviews with media, any social media posting,
- 24:16Speaker 1: or anything in regard to her son missing? Okay? Jade
- 24:23Speaker 1: told a reporter that after she cut her mom off,
- 24:26Speaker 1: her mom attempted to contact her a couple of times,
- 24:29Speaker 1: and Jade basically said, I don't want to talk to
- 24:32Speaker 1: you until I know where my brother is, which makes
- 24:35Speaker 1: me kind of wonder does she suspect her mother knows
- 24:39Speaker 1: something or does she suspect he left to go meet
- 24:44Speaker 1: mom and then he went missing? I don't know. Now
- 24:49Speaker 1: the FBI did finally join this case, Okay, finally so Andrew,
- 24:58Speaker 1: Brandon's dad and his sister, Jade just want Brandon home. Guys,
- 25:03Speaker 1: this next part's going to break your heart. Andrew says
- 25:06Speaker 1: he can't help, but wonder is my son safe? Is
- 25:10Speaker 1: he locked in a cage? Does he have food? Is
- 25:13Speaker 1: he being hurt? He just wants to know his son
- 25:18Speaker 1: is okay. But guys, this sad fact is that even
- 25:24Speaker 1: if down convinced Brandon to leave out of his bedroom
- 25:27Speaker 1: window and to come to Redding, California, where she lived.
- 25:31Speaker 1: That is almost three hours away by car, three hours.
- 25:37Speaker 1: He could have been abducted at any point after leaving
- 25:40Speaker 1: out his window. Now, I truly hope that the police
- 25:49Speaker 1: gave Don and her life a full rectal exam, because
- 25:55Speaker 1: I personally find it very suspicious as hell that she
- 25:58Speaker 1: isn't out there doing everything she can do to find
- 26:02Speaker 1: her son. Guys, I have two adult children over the
- 26:07Speaker 1: age of thirty. I can tell you even now, one
- 26:10Speaker 1: of them goes missing, I'm gonna be all up in
- 26:13Speaker 1: their business. I'm gonna know everywhere they had been, hadn't been,
- 26:17Speaker 1: who their friends are. I'm gonna be digging into everything.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I would go into debt looking for them. Even if
- 26:28Speaker 1: they left on purpose, I would do whatever I had
- 26:32Speaker 1: to to get communication to them to say, Hey, if
- 26:34Speaker 1: you wanted to leave on your own and you're okay,
- 26:37Speaker 1: at least let me know you're okay. Then I will
- 26:40Speaker 1: stop being a drama queen and putting it out everywhere
- 26:43Speaker 1: that you're missing. She hasn't done shit, So Don, if
- 26:49Speaker 1: you see this, I would love to have a conversation
- 26:53Speaker 1: with you about why I get divorces are hard. I
- 26:59Speaker 1: got two under my belt and my boys. Dad's from
- 27:03Speaker 1: my first marriage wasn't a nasty divorce, but it got
- 27:08Speaker 1: nasty later, but the actual divorce not so much. I
- 27:13Speaker 1: do not speak to my ex husband, but I can
- 27:16Speaker 1: tell you if my ex husband called me and said, hey,
- 27:22Speaker 1: son's missing. I don't have contact with my younger son
- 27:25Speaker 1: right now. It's a choice between the two of us
- 27:28Speaker 1: because he deals with some mental health issues and he's
- 27:31Speaker 1: not doing what he needs to. I can tell you
- 27:34Speaker 1: I still know where he is. I still know he's okay.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I still keep tabs his dad calls me and says, hey,
- 27:39Speaker 1: he's missing. I'm gonna be like, okay, I'm on my way.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Let's sit down and talk. What do we need to do,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Who do we need to call, Let's let's do it.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Let's pull our resources. I don't give a shit if
- 27:52Speaker 1: you like each other. This is your child, So Dawn,
- 27:57Speaker 1: you need to be his mother, And if you ever
- 28:01Speaker 1: want to have a relationship with Jade, you might want
- 28:04Speaker 1: to step up and be a mom. Don't expect her
- 28:09Speaker 1: to talk to you. But also, you're making yourself look
- 28:12Speaker 1: guilty as hell by not doing anything. So even if
- 28:15Speaker 1: you just mentally it's like it's too much, because I
- 28:18Speaker 1: want to be kind in the fact that maybe she's
- 28:21Speaker 1: just overwhelmed. Maybe it's just too much mentally for her.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Guess what, you're a mom. You don't get to do that.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Just like when you're sick, you still got to be
- 28:31Speaker 1: a mom. Your kid goes missing, you still have to
- 28:34Speaker 1: be a mom no matter how hard it is for you.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Even though you can't get out of bed, maybe you
- 28:39Speaker 1: still have to get up and get out of bed
- 28:41Speaker 1: and try to find your son, unless, of course, you
- 28:45Speaker 1: know where he is and you've sent him somewhere. And
- 28:49Speaker 1: if that is the case, I hope to God, yes,
- 28:54Speaker 1: I said God, that when the police find out, I
- 28:58Speaker 1: hope you are charged with parental abduction and I hope
- 29:03Speaker 1: you become Bertha's bitch in prison because you are not
- 29:08Speaker 1: only hurting your ex husband, who I'm sure you would enjoyed.
- 29:10Speaker 1: The hurting sounds like Drosso hurting your daughter. And I
- 29:15Speaker 1: couldn't find that she had done anything to you except say, hey,
- 29:19Speaker 1: I don't have anything to do with you because you're toxic. Okay,
- 29:24Speaker 1: So I m don th all I got to say. Okay,
- 29:30Speaker 1: Brandon is a white male who is five foot six
- 29:33Speaker 1: and he weighed one hundred and seven pounds at the
- 29:36Speaker 1: time he went missing. And guys, this is so cute.
- 29:40Speaker 1: He had upper and bottom braces at the time of
- 29:42Speaker 1: his disappearance. I mean, that makes you look so much younger,
- 29:48Speaker 1: and that makes me worry that if he did sneak
- 29:51Speaker 1: out to meet a girl but he got picked up
- 29:53Speaker 1: by the person who wasn't really a girl but a guy,
- 29:57Speaker 1: or if he snuck out to meet friends and somebody
- 30:00Speaker 1: else grab name, or if he snuck out to go
- 30:02Speaker 1: see his mom and somebody else founding he is a young, white,
- 30:09Speaker 1: cute boy, he could be trafficked. It happens to males too,
- 30:13Speaker 1: not just females. So if you have any information about
- 30:18Speaker 1: Brandon's disappearance, or if you know anything about Dawn and
- 30:24Speaker 1: suspicious suspicious things that maybe could be investigated, all the
- 30:29Speaker 1: Pleasant Hill Police Department at nine two five to eight
- 30:33Speaker 1: eight forty six zero zero, or you can contact the
- 30:37Speaker 1: FBI at tips dot FBI dot gov. And guys, help
- 30:42Speaker 1: this young man get back to his father and sister
- 30:46Speaker 1: who love him and want to note that he's Okay.
- 30:51Speaker 1: There's also a Facebook group Brandon Abbott Missing Discussion Group. Okay,
- 30:57Speaker 1: I've asked to be all the group. I haven't been
- 31:01Speaker 1: admitted yet. I figure they're gonna wait and see what
- 31:05Speaker 1: I say on this live stream to make sure I'm
- 31:08Speaker 1: not taken up for don is what I guess because
- 31:10Speaker 1: my understanding it's run by Dad. So, guys, I have
- 31:17Speaker 1: I don't know if you call it a special treat,
- 31:20Speaker 1: but I don't have another case. But I want to
- 31:23Speaker 1: share some information that I found that disturbs me. It
- 31:29Speaker 1: made me think of Ian and Chase. Okay, so first,
- 31:34Speaker 1: let me tell you the headline that caught my attention.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Labor trafficking and marijuana production, a hidden epidemic and the
- 31:44Speaker 1: shadows of the cannabis industry. Okay, guys, you have to
- 31:48Speaker 1: admit that headline. I really thought it was gonna be
- 31:52Speaker 1: clickbait because I was like, yeah, it's gonna be clickbait.
- 31:55Speaker 1: But guess what, I'm gonna go down the clickbait hole.
- 31:58Speaker 1: It wasn't a clickbait hole. Oh, it was a good article.
- 32:03Speaker 1: The article goes on to talk about the concealed epidendic
- 32:08Speaker 1: epidemic within the cannabis industry. Now, the reason I'm saying cannabis,
- 32:13Speaker 1: I asked doubh, I'm like, is the marijuana farm. Does
- 32:17Speaker 1: everybody know the same thing. It's cannabis. And then he
- 32:20Speaker 1: edumicated me to say, cannabis also includes the CBD, the hemp,
- 32:26Speaker 1: all of that that comes from the farms. So you'll
- 32:28Speaker 1: see me go back and forth because I couldn't decide
- 32:30Speaker 1: which one I liked better. I just decided marijuana or
- 32:35Speaker 1: cannabis is better than Mary Jane because Mary Jane are
- 32:38Speaker 1: also shoes. Right. So NBC reported in twenty twenty two
- 32:44Speaker 1: on a cannabis farm in southern California that was illegally
- 32:49Speaker 1: growing marijuana and profiting off for slabor. Now, they told
- 32:54Speaker 1: about a victim who had lost their job during COVID.
- 32:58Speaker 1: See this trend. People lost their job during COVID and
- 33:02Speaker 1: needed to make money, so moved to southern California for
- 33:06Speaker 1: work and went to work on a marijuana cannabis farm. Guys,
- 33:12Speaker 1: they were forced into slave labor. Basically, they were not
- 33:17Speaker 1: compensated like the employment ads said they were going to be.
- 33:21Speaker 1: They were put up in filthy and nasty trailers. They
- 33:26Speaker 1: endured abuse and threats to their well being. Okay, guys.
- 33:32Speaker 1: The article even goes on to tell how some are
- 33:35Speaker 1: even exploited for sex, sex trafficking and are sexually assaulted. Okay, guys,
- 33:44Speaker 1: that is scary. Okay. In twenty sixteen, an article was
- 33:50Speaker 1: published about the prevalence of sexual violence in the industry
- 33:55Speaker 1: in Northern California. Northern California is where Chase worked on
- 34:03Speaker 1: the farm. But while each case is different, there is
- 34:07Speaker 1: a deep connection to abduction, sex trafficking, violence, and misleading
- 34:15Speaker 1: employment offers. Okay, and sadly, no one has done a
- 34:21Speaker 1: deep dive into the dark side. Cappen. You're right, But
- 34:30Speaker 1: what I have learned through the research and working with
- 34:35Speaker 1: investigators on Chase's case, a lot of the legal dispensaries
- 34:43Speaker 1: actually do buy from legal and illegal farms. It's wherever
- 34:49Speaker 1: they can get the best price, which I thought was
- 34:55Speaker 1: very interesting and I'm going to look into that little
- 35:00Speaker 1: bit more now. Like I said, no one has done
- 35:03Speaker 1: a huge deep dive into the dark side of the
- 35:07Speaker 1: legal and lead legal marijuana farm like the worker issues. However,
- 35:13Speaker 1: there is a documentary on Netflix that guys, I will
- 35:17Speaker 1: be watching before Sunday so we can talk about it
- 35:21Speaker 1: next week. It is called Murder Mountain and it looks
- 35:26Speaker 1: into the legal marijuana industry in northern California, where Chase
- 35:33Speaker 1: was and they the show follows from the headlines I read.
- 35:39Speaker 1: The show follows the disappearance and murder of Garrett Rodriguez
- 35:43Speaker 1: from San Diego, who went to northern California to make
- 35:48Speaker 1: his money in the marijuana business. Okay, I don't know
- 35:52Speaker 1: if anybody has already seen it. If you had, I
- 35:55Speaker 1: want to know if it's worth me spending my time watching.
- 35:58Speaker 1: But as I I'm, you know, still looking into Chase's case,
- 36:02Speaker 1: I am digging more into that industry because I'm looking
- 36:07Speaker 1: for any little thread. You know, we know that Addison
- 36:13Speaker 1: was involved in that industry in northern California. I'm saying,
- 36:18Speaker 1: is I have information that he still is? But until
- 36:22Speaker 1: I have documented proof, I'll be nice and say he was.
- 36:26Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm very interested in watching this.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Another reason is because Chase worked on the farm in
- 36:34Speaker 1: northern California, and the guy who owns that farm also
- 36:40Speaker 1: owns a farm in Colorado and has ties to Houston,
- 36:45Speaker 1: Texas area. So way too many coincidences to me. Okay,
- 36:55Speaker 1: Chasing and both from the Houston area. Both lost their jobs,
- 37:01Speaker 1: went to work at a farm in that industry. Knew
- 37:07Speaker 1: each other, had each other's contact information, or at least
- 37:11Speaker 1: I know on Chase Chase's phone had Ian's information. They
- 37:15Speaker 1: had communicated, and the farm that Chase worked on the
- 37:20Speaker 1: guy also owned one in Colorado. Chase made trips to
- 37:23Speaker 1: Colorado as well. Don't have any documentation that he worked
- 37:26Speaker 1: on a farm there, but he did travel there because
- 37:30Speaker 1: he was in that business. But he also played softball,
- 37:33Speaker 1: so it may have been for a softball tournament. But oh, Terry,
- 37:41Speaker 1: that is good to know that you grew up there.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Because that Murder Mountain is about Humboldt. So if you
- 37:51Speaker 1: know any scoop about that area, please send it to me,
- 37:54Speaker 1: because I am digging into this. Ooh, you know what,
- 38:01Speaker 1: I'm going to be in California in a couple of weeks.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Maybe I should go to Humboldt and go snooping around.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I'm sure Double Ag is behind me. He can hear
- 38:10Speaker 1: me in his office and I can just hear his
- 38:12Speaker 1: head shaking saying no, please don't do that, and I'll
- 38:17Speaker 1: just tell him I do have a good life insurance policy. Right,
- 38:22Speaker 1: But I'm hoping by watching the show, it'll give me
- 38:25Speaker 1: new ideas to look where to look for information on
- 38:29Speaker 1: Chase's case. And I can't help but wonder about the
- 38:34Speaker 1: coincidence of Ian and Chase and all the coincidences. I mean,
- 38:39Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys. I know in law
- 38:42Speaker 1: enforcement they say one coincidence is a coincidence. After that,
- 38:47Speaker 1: I believe they say it's a pattern, no longer a coincidence.
- 38:52Speaker 1: That's kind of how I'm feeling about Ian and Chase.
- 38:55Speaker 1: I will be honest. I reached out to Ian's family.
- 38:58Speaker 1: They do not want to talk to any podcasters. I
- 39:01Speaker 1: totally understand that there are some podcasters out there who
- 39:06Speaker 1: have exploited these families, and shame on them, okay for
- 39:11Speaker 1: doing that. If anyone ever thinks that JT or I
- 39:16Speaker 1: do that, or me and JT do that, please let
- 39:19Speaker 1: us know that is never our intention. I just have
- 39:23Speaker 1: a big heart and I want to give these people answers.
- 39:28Speaker 1: So once again, if you have any information into the
- 39:31Speaker 1: disappearance of Chase or I, and you want to call
- 39:35Speaker 1: our tip line, that number is five one two, five, five,
- 39:39Speaker 1: three nine four eight four, Or if you have any
- 39:43Speaker 1: information about the marijuana forms farms in northern California. I'd
- 39:49Speaker 1: love to talk to you. I want to know more.
- 39:52Speaker 1: I know they knew they use migrant workers. I know
- 39:56Speaker 1: that they use people who apply and from some of
- 39:59Speaker 1: the research that I found in that article, some that
- 40:05Speaker 1: people who owe them money, they kidnap them, they abduct
- 40:09Speaker 1: them and make them work off the debt. But they
- 40:12Speaker 1: really can't work off the debt because they're charging you
- 40:16Speaker 1: daily to live there. Also, cell phone coverage doesn't work.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Cell phone coverage is very spotty. So I find all
- 40:25Speaker 1: of that very interesting. If any of you live in
- 40:28Speaker 1: California and know about that area and want to take
- 40:34Speaker 1: me on a little tour, I would love a little
- 40:38Speaker 1: tour as long as we're safe. I can carry a
- 40:41Speaker 1: gun in Texas. I don't think I can carry a
- 40:44Speaker 1: gun in California. And as I've said many times, I
- 40:48Speaker 1: would not do well in prison and I would not
- 40:50Speaker 1: do well in captivity, so I have to be very
- 40:54Speaker 1: careful about that. So those are my cases. That's my
- 41:01Speaker 1: little extra snippet that I had today. So I want
- 41:05Speaker 1: to thank you all for joining me for my lunch break.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Oh yes, I want a three hour tour. Hey, I
- 41:16Speaker 1: know how to trim goat hooves, cat nails, dog nails,
- 41:22Speaker 1: and bushes. Does that count for trimming? I don't know
- 41:28Speaker 1: if that counts for trimming, but I want to thank
- 41:32Speaker 1: you all for joining me for my lunch today. I'll
- 41:35Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you all again next Monday on
- 41:38Speaker 1: midday Missing but don't forget. Me and JT will be
- 41:43Speaker 1: live tomorrow night with Celebrity Crimes seven thirty Central, eight
