- 0:49Speaker 1: if you will be doing this. We have Andrea Allen...
- 0:58Speaker 1: disappearance case today that we're going to be talking about
- 1:01Speaker 1: i was going through um reddit i was scrolling and
- 1:08Speaker 1: i already have a backlog of very interesting cases that
- 1:12Speaker 1: i would like to talk about andrea's case was very
- 1:16Speaker 1: interesting to me so i thought maybe it's actually a
- 1:19Speaker 1: pretty good time to talk about her case uh we
- 1:23Speaker 1: have a woman who is uh a 23-year-old secretary, and
- 1:30Speaker 1: she went missing under very strange circumstances back in 1982.
- 1:37Speaker 1: So at the time of this recording, she has been
- 1:41Speaker 1: missing for more than 40 years. I think she could
- 1:45Speaker 1: still be alive in theory because she was 23 when
- 1:49Speaker 1: she went missing. But she would definitely be an old
- 1:51Speaker 1: woman at this point, if she is still somewhere in
- 1:54Speaker 1: this planet. We don't really know what happened to her.
- 1:57Speaker 1: And I guess the most bizarre thing about Andrea's disappearance
- 2:04Speaker 1: is the very tight timeline under which she went missing. Essentially,
- 2:11Speaker 1: she was reported to be in a very strange position
- 2:16Speaker 1: within her own car, in a parking lot, in a...
- 2:20Speaker 1: West Palm Beach. It's a city kind of close to
- 2:25Speaker 1: Miami in Florida.
- 2:27Speaker 2: It's quite famous, actually. Even I know about it.
- 2:30Speaker 1: West Palm Beach?
- 2:31Speaker 2: Yeah, like I heard about it here and there. Of course,
- 2:33Speaker 2: I don't know much details about it, but it's one
- 2:35Speaker 2: of those places, you know.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Maybe you heard about Palm Beach.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Or West Palm Beach, yeah.
- 2:43Speaker 1: West Palm Beach is, I think, literally to the west
- 2:47Speaker 1: of Palm Beach.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And it is the less, it's, from what I understand,
- 2:53Speaker 1: it's not the premium residential community that Palm Beach is.
- 2:59Speaker 2: It's more on the raggedy side, right?
- 3:01Speaker 1: It's not raggedy. Nowadays, I believe it is quite luxurious.
- 3:05Speaker 2: No, I meant in a way that during this case.
- 3:08Speaker 1: During the 80s, it was less of a luxurious location.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Would you say it was a shady spot? Back in
- 3:17Speaker 2: the day.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. Can't really comment. But essentially,
- 3:23Speaker 1: Andrea was seen in her car, slumped over her steering
- 3:27Speaker 1: wheel by an anonymous caller who called the police. And
- 3:32Speaker 1: police arrived according to information that we have minutes later.
- 3:39Speaker 1: And after those minutes, Andrea was no longer in her car.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And.
- 3:46Speaker 1: To be honest, she has never been seen again ever
- 3:49Speaker 1: since that. So we have a very strange case on
- 3:53Speaker 1: our hands. What do you think about the case, Rain?
- 3:56Speaker 1: Do you have some observations before we get going?
- 4:00Speaker 2: It's definitely a mysterious case. I'm actually very surprised how
- 4:03Speaker 2: you managed to find this case. Did you know about
- 4:06Speaker 2: this before you came across and read it?
- 4:09Speaker 1: I didn't know about this case.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Because it feels like it's such a small case, you
- 4:12Speaker 2: know what I mean? I tried doing some research about
- 4:15Speaker 2: it and like, The first tree of first four links,
- 4:19Speaker 2: the Charlie Project, Reddit, and some other ones. It seems
- 4:25Speaker 2: like they all have the same information. Very limited information.
- 4:31Speaker 1: They have very limited information, but I think in this case,
- 4:34Speaker 1: you could actually do your own.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Digging.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Your own digging. There is definitely ways to try to
- 4:44Speaker 1: dig into this case.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And it's also kind of crazy because this is one
- 4:48Speaker 2: of those cases that... Because sometimes when we do an episode,
- 4:53Speaker 2: I like going to YouTube, searching for it, and listening
- 4:59Speaker 2: to other podcasts or listening to other documentaries about it
- 5:03Speaker 2: as a background before we do some recording. But in
- 5:05Speaker 2: this case, there's nothing.
- 5:08Speaker 1: You didn't find anything?
- 5:09Speaker 2: I didn't find anything. Maybe I found one, but it
- 5:12Speaker 2: felt like AI... prompt prompted voice was it the short
- 5:18Speaker 2: not a short i think it was a video but
- 5:20Speaker 2: that's pretty much.
- 5:21Speaker 1: It that is a valid point uh i think there's
- 5:26Speaker 1: not that much information on andreas case online i guess
- 5:34Speaker 1: my sources are reddit and a couple of uh newspaper
- 5:42Speaker 1: clippings from back in the day Other than that, I
- 5:47Speaker 1: think I looked at the location. And I tried to
- 5:51Speaker 1: look into the other, let's say, related cases that we're
- 5:56Speaker 1: going to be going over today.
- 5:58Speaker 2: So it's not as detailed as Ray Rivera's case. But
- 6:01Speaker 2: then again, Ray Rivera has a lot of things going on.
- 6:05Speaker 2: But you know what I mean. It doesn't seem fully covered.
- 6:09Speaker 1: I agree. I think with this, let's kind of talk
- 6:13Speaker 1: a little bit about... andrea's case and let's go over
- 6:17Speaker 1: the information that we do have on may 21st in
- 6:23Speaker 1: 1982 which was a friday 23 year old secretary andrea
- 6:29Speaker 1: allen left work early that day she left at around
- 6:34Speaker 1: 3 p.m and she told the other people at work
- 6:38Speaker 1: that she wasn't feeling well so she left the work
- 6:44Speaker 1: on Friday a little earlier. The next day, on May 22nd,
- 6:50Speaker 1: which was a Saturday, at around 11 p.m. in the evening,
- 6:54Speaker 1: so this is more than 24 hours later, an anonymous
- 7:00Speaker 1: man had called police. He told them that there was
- 7:02Speaker 1: a woman slumped over the steering wheel of her car,
- 7:06Speaker 1: parked in a grocery store parking lot in West Palm Beach.
- 7:12Speaker 1: This particular parking lot was located around two miles away
- 7:16Speaker 1: from her workplace. However, when police arrived just minutes later,
- 7:21Speaker 1: they found that Andrea's car had been abandoned. There was
- 7:26Speaker 1: no sign of Andrea anywhere. Her purse was found in
- 7:31Speaker 1: the front seat, but there was no information provided whether
- 7:37Speaker 1: or not police actually investigated the car more thoroughly i
- 7:43Speaker 1: don't think we have information if andrea's fingerprints were left
- 7:48Speaker 1: behind or if they actually did some sort of forensic
- 7:53Speaker 1: analysis on the vehicle and ever since then andrea has
- 7:57Speaker 1: been a missing person and to be honest she has
- 8:02Speaker 1: never been seen when we talk about andrea's Andrea's case,
- 8:08Speaker 1: Andrea Allen, we only have one image of Andrea. I
- 8:11Speaker 1: have this image on our case file here, so you
- 8:17Speaker 1: could take a look. If you haven't seen her picture,
- 8:23Speaker 1: I know you're kind of pulling up the file, so
- 8:25Speaker 1: I'm just going to describe the image that I see.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Andrea is a white woman. She is, to be honest,
- 8:35Speaker 1: a quite pretty looking woman. And it was described that
- 8:39Speaker 1: she was petite and not much, to be honest, is
- 8:46Speaker 1: known about her background. We will be talking a little
- 8:50Speaker 1: bit about the things that we do know. But from
- 8:53Speaker 1: a visual standpoint, I mean, does anything jump out to you?
- 8:57Speaker 1: She looks like a very regular, petite, pretty white girl.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe her in any other way.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Dark hair, brunette.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It was actually described that she's a blonde. Oh. I
- 9:08Speaker 1: believe that this picture that we're looking at is a
- 9:11Speaker 1: black and white picture, so maybe you can't really tell
- 9:13Speaker 1: the hair color.
- 9:15Speaker 2: No, but still, even if it's a black and white picture,
- 9:17Speaker 2: you could tell the hair color, no? But maybe at
- 9:20Speaker 2: this particular picture, she was brunette.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but maybe you have a good point.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I believe that in the NamUs website, where I believe
- 9:30Speaker 1: it was the Jane Doe Network, I don't remember, one
- 9:33Speaker 1: of those websites have a, description of Andrea, she's referred
- 9:38Speaker 1: to as a blonde woman. And at the time of
- 9:45Speaker 1: her disappearance, Andrea's body type was described as petite, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: already mentioned this, and she had blonde hair. Andrea is
- 9:53Speaker 1: a white female, she is five foot tall, and she
- 9:57Speaker 1: weighed around 105 to 150 pounds at the time of her.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Disappearance she was 23 years old she was 23 how
- 10:06Speaker 2: young very young right it's super.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Young she was young yeah and she also has green
- 10:14Speaker 1: eyes we do have information that Andrea was actually married
- 10:21Speaker 1: to a man named Glenn Shapiro. However, the two of
- 10:27Speaker 1: them had divorced in 1981, one year prior to Andrea's disappearance.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Got divorced at 22. She lived a life. I mean,
- 10:40Speaker 2: I'm so sorry and I feel so bad that it
- 10:42Speaker 2: was cut short a bit too early, but married and
- 10:46Speaker 2: divorced at 23. When I was 23, I was still
- 10:50Speaker 2: doing a lot of kid stuff.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Man, I don't even want to discuss my life at 23.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Video games?
- 10:58Speaker 1: Yeah, not much.
- 10:59Speaker 2: It feels like 23-year-olds back in the day were already
- 11:02Speaker 2: like full-grown adults.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I know what you mean.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Right?
- 11:06Speaker 1: I know what you mean. It does seem that way sometimes.
- 11:10Speaker 1: So we don't really know exactly why they broke up.
- 11:13Speaker 1: And I tried looking at Glenn Shapiro specifically. I couldn't
- 11:19Speaker 1: really find any information. I think I ran across several
- 11:23Speaker 1: different Glenn Shapiros from Florida. I think there was Glenn
- 11:29Speaker 1: Michael Shapiro. There was Glenn Shapiro. I think, I guess
- 11:35Speaker 1: they would match the age because the people that I
- 11:38Speaker 1: found when I just put, you know, this name Glenn
- 11:41Speaker 1: Shapiro into the Google search, I think I, I think
- 11:45Speaker 1: I found some sort of interesting website that was like
- 11:48Speaker 1: some sort of a Florida registry of people. And it
- 11:53Speaker 1: was so peculiar for me because people with that name
- 11:57Speaker 1: have been listed there and their addresses as well. So
- 12:01Speaker 1: you could just quickly take their address and put it
- 12:03Speaker 1: in Google search and find where this particular person lives.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I think that is.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That is strange to me. So I found where these
- 12:13Speaker 1: two particular Glenn Shapiros that I was interested in. I
- 12:17Speaker 1: think there were only like two Glenn Shapiros that popped
- 12:20Speaker 1: up from Florida.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Isn't that a bit unsafe though to have such a
- 12:24Speaker 2: private information out there easily accessible by someone from Lithuania?
- 12:32Speaker 1: I think it could create some potential risk.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So I looked at them and they do look like
- 12:41Speaker 1: they kind of live close to West Palm Beach, not
- 12:44Speaker 1: necessarily in West Palm Beach. We know that Glenn Shapiro,
- 12:47Speaker 1: the real Glenn Shapiro from this case, did live in
- 12:51Speaker 1: West Palm Beach. I didn't find any Glenn Shapiro that
- 12:54Speaker 1: is currently residing in West Palm Beach, or at least
- 12:57Speaker 1: according to that website.
- 12:59Speaker 2: And no other information in terms of like news clippings
- 13:02Speaker 2: or something?
- 13:03Speaker 1: No, I didn't really get to find more information about him.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I also tried to look for this Glenn Shapiro on Facebook,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and I think Glenn Michael Shapiro, which is still a
- 13:13Speaker 1: possibility that this is the same guy, popped into my
- 13:17Speaker 1: Facebook feed. However, we have no way of verifying.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:23Speaker 1: So heads up, we don't know anything about this guy.
- 13:27Speaker 2: So is it safe to say that since we don't
- 13:29Speaker 2: know anything about this guy and no public mention of
- 13:32Speaker 2: him being involved whatsoever, is it safe to say that
- 13:35Speaker 2: he's not entirely involved?
- 13:37Speaker 1: No, it's not safe to say that at all.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It's just we don't know anything about him.
- 13:40Speaker 1: We just don't know anything about him, but him being
- 13:44Speaker 1: the ex-husband and Andrea passing away in such a bizarre manner,
- 13:51Speaker 1: or not passing away, what am I saying, disappearing. Andrea
- 13:54Speaker 1: disappearing in such a strange fashion. It is definitely not
- 13:59Speaker 1: safe to say that Glenn Shapiro is ruled out. I
- 14:02Speaker 1: have no.
- 14:04Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that Glenn Shapiro is
- 14:08Speaker 1: not responsible or that he is responsible. We just don't know.
- 14:13Speaker 2: We just still have to consider him, though.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Absolutely. Some sources also state that Andrea, at some point
- 14:21Speaker 1: in her life, went by the name of Darlene Shapiro.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Darlene is her middle name, so that's why she went
- 14:28Speaker 1: with Darlene Shapiro at some point. At the time of
- 14:32Speaker 1: her disappearance... Andrea was working as a secretary for the
- 14:37Speaker 1: Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. This is some
- 14:45Speaker 1: sort of a government institution.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Rehab center.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Obviously, I think it's bigger than rehab. It was a
- 14:53Speaker 1: big institution.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Ah, so it is like the whole department, like the ones...
- 14:59Speaker 2: working mainly on different rehabs in Florida?
- 15:06Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it was the West Palm
- 15:10Speaker 1: Beach branch of this institution. This institution, I believe in
- 15:17Speaker 1: the 90s, had been dissolved and it was basically from
- 15:24Speaker 1: one institution, two other ones came. But at the time,
- 15:29Speaker 1: it was just one institution. I think, in general, what
- 15:33Speaker 1: a secretary like Andrea would be doing at this institution, well,
- 15:42Speaker 1: she would be working more of a traditional cleric work
- 15:49Speaker 1: with supporting social workers, nurses, public health staff, or administrators.
- 15:57Speaker 1: This institution was a large state agency responsible for many
- 16:01Speaker 1: services that are now split among several different Florida agencies.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Another thing we have to take into account that this
- 16:09Speaker 1: was 1982, so technology was a bit different. I think,
- 16:14Speaker 1: from what I understand, she would be doing a lot
- 16:16Speaker 1: of typing.
- 16:17Speaker 2: And telephones, maybe?
- 16:19Speaker 1: Maybe answering some landline phone calls.
- 16:22Speaker 2: No computers yet, right?
- 16:24Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Computers were, I think, a thing, but
- 16:27Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how much of a thing.
- 16:29Speaker 2: The big bulky ones.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure in 82 how much of a
- 16:33Speaker 1: thing computers were. I mean, I can't imagine that it
- 16:36Speaker 1: was super available. Maybe in America. Maybe in America. So
- 16:41Speaker 1: after she divorced Glenn Shapiro, we only have information that
- 16:46Speaker 1: Andrea actually lived in several places. She was bouncing around.
- 16:51Speaker 1: We don't know exactly... where or with whom she lived.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I tried to find this information, but from my research,
- 17:00Speaker 1: it is not available publicly. But eventually, she did settle
- 17:04Speaker 1: down in Green Acres. Green Acres is another city. To
- 17:11Speaker 1: be honest, this whole area of Florida, this, let's say,
- 17:16Speaker 1: eastern part of Florida, where Miami is located, it is...
- 17:22Speaker 1: There's a lot of different cities that comprise this really
- 17:27Speaker 1: big metropolitan area. Because even if you look at Miami's
- 17:31Speaker 1: population right now on Wikipedia, it's like half a million.
- 17:35Speaker 1: But the whole metropolitan area is six million. So there's
- 17:39Speaker 1: a lot of people living in there. It's just it
- 17:41Speaker 1: is divided into a lot of different towns. So when
- 17:44Speaker 1: we say that, you know, Andrea moved in to Green Acres,
- 17:47Speaker 1: we're actually saying that she's still living kind of really
- 17:50Speaker 1: close to West Palm Beach. I believe it was only
- 17:53Speaker 1: 10 miles away from West Palm Beach. So she found
- 17:56Speaker 1: a location there. And we know that her ex-husband, Glenn Shapiro,
- 18:04Speaker 1: was actually living in West Palm Beach at this time.
- 18:08Speaker 1: We don't know exactly where in Green Acres Andrea lived.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I did take a screenshot from Google Maps regarding where
- 18:19Speaker 1: this Green Acres is. It is kind of... I guess
- 18:23Speaker 1: a little bit westward into the Florida geography, but it
- 18:30Speaker 1: is still close to the busy coastline. I also kind
- 18:38Speaker 1: of tried to find out a little bit about how
- 18:40Speaker 1: West Palm Beach would be different from West Palm Beach
- 18:45Speaker 1: of modern day. So it would be a different environment,
- 18:52Speaker 1: Right now, West Palm Beach is a growing, luxurious destination.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I believe right now West Palm Beach population is around 120,000 people.
- 19:02Speaker 1: But back in the day, in the 80s, the population
- 19:05Speaker 1: was more around 60,000 people. So it was half the
- 19:09Speaker 1: population that it is right now.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I did actually read something about West Palm Beach in
- 19:16Speaker 2: the 80s. Surprisingly, these days it's luxurious, right?
- 19:21Speaker 1: I believe it is like a prime time.
- 19:24Speaker 2: But apparently in the 1980s, it was an area with
- 19:29Speaker 2: high crime and crack cocaine epidemic. Really?
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yes. It had the cocaine epidemic.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Okay. Urban challenges and crime of West Palm Beach in 1980s.
- 19:43Speaker 2: According to Google, high crime rates in the late 1980s.
- 19:46Speaker 2: West Palm Beach recorded one of the highest crime rates
- 19:49Speaker 2: in the United States. for a city its size. And
- 19:53Speaker 2: a severe street cocaine and crack riots has gripped parts
- 19:55Speaker 2: of the inner city. And there was a downtown decay.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Commercial expansion further west led to significant urban decay and
- 20:04Speaker 2: struggling storefronts in historic court near Oak. Kichobi Boulevard, sorry
- 20:10Speaker 2: for butchering that, before revitalization efforts to cold in the 90s. Interesting, right?
- 20:17Speaker 1: So this does paint an interesting picture. I think this
- 20:23Speaker 1: is relevant.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 1: This is definitely relevant to the case. The fact that
- 20:32Speaker 1: this was....
- 20:34Speaker 2: Completely different from the West Palm Beach Nail. When you
- 20:38Speaker 2: mentioned luxurious, I was like, oh really?
- 20:40Speaker 1: I'm not sure how luxurious it is even nowadays, but
- 20:45Speaker 1: I feel like it was not that at all back
- 20:48Speaker 1: in the day. I feel like it was a more
- 20:53Speaker 1: dangerous place than an average American town by the sound
- 21:00Speaker 1: of it. I did know that back in the day,
- 21:05Speaker 1: a lot of The economy in this particular city came
- 21:08Speaker 1: from tourism and hospitality. So I do think that tourism
- 21:13Speaker 1: was a big thing here. I think also retirees were
- 21:18Speaker 1: common in West Palm Beach. And also we had people, well,
- 21:25Speaker 1: you know, West Palm Beach had people come in from
- 21:30Speaker 1: the northern, northeastern part of America. These are called snowbirds,
- 21:37Speaker 1: the people that would go down south during the colder
- 21:41Speaker 1: part of the year. So we had people coming in
- 21:44Speaker 1: from other parts of America as well.
- 21:46Speaker 2: It's funny how they call them the snowbirds. It's highly relatable, right?
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:53Speaker 2: People from up north where it gets really cold, they
- 21:56Speaker 2: do tend to travel south when it's wintertime.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Yeah we have we have a very similar thing here
- 22:02Speaker 1: as well people from you know even like our little
- 22:07Speaker 1: country here would go to more southern parts of europe
- 22:11Speaker 1: uh you know like turkey whatever greece greece turkey during the.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Winter when it's minus 30 you know it's time to
- 22:20Speaker 2: pack your bags for.
- 22:21Speaker 1: A bit but it does help you know yeah because.
- 22:25Speaker 2: After months of just gray and no sun.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Yeah You kind of miss it. Especially sometimes these winters
- 22:31Speaker 1: here are crazy. Like this last winter.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Crazy long.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Was just brutal.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:38Speaker 1: So we also have a little bit of information about
- 22:43Speaker 1: Green Acres back in the 80s. So Green Acres, the
- 22:47Speaker 1: place where Andrea eventually moved in after divorcing Glenn Shapiro,
- 22:56Speaker 1: it is actually initially... It was supposed to be a
- 23:01Speaker 1: retirement-oriented community that was built in the 60s. However, by
- 23:07Speaker 1: the 80s, from what I understand, it was already being,
- 23:12Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what I'm trying to say,
- 23:17Speaker 1: invaded by non-retirees.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Invaded? There's probably a better word for it.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Stay with invaded, though.
- 23:27Speaker 1: It was invaded by regular families because of the affordable
- 23:33Speaker 1: housing compared to the more coastal cities in that part
- 23:40Speaker 1: of Florida. Makes sense. Because Greenacres is a little bit
- 23:44Speaker 1: more inland. I understand it's... But it looks so green.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Like a suburban location. Mm-hmm.
- 23:53Speaker 2: I can see how enticing it is to move in
- 23:56Speaker 2: there and drive the retirees out.
- 23:59Speaker 1: You know, here in Lithuania, I've never stepped foot in America. Obviously,
- 24:05Speaker 1: we will. We just have to.
- 24:07Speaker 2: We have to. It's one of the destinations.
- 24:09Speaker 1: It's definitely going to happen. We're definitely going to go
- 24:11Speaker 1: to America. It's just... It's crazy not to go, to
- 24:14Speaker 1: be honest. And I feel like if you have the opportunity,
- 24:16Speaker 1: everyone should go to America, I feel like, just to
- 24:19Speaker 1: see what's up. But for me... I would say this, like,
- 24:24Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about America and I'm thinking, what if
- 24:27Speaker 1: I had to live there as a person who's never
- 24:29Speaker 1: been there for a second? You know, my first opinion
- 24:33Speaker 1: is like somewhere close to New York. Like I was
- 24:37Speaker 1: always thinking New York cause I liked the Sopranos and
- 24:41Speaker 1: I kind of liked that whole vibe. Like I would
- 24:43Speaker 1: kind of, if it feels like a cool place to
- 24:45Speaker 1: live or Florida, it's always these two locations.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Florida. I find a lot. Why Florida?
- 24:52Speaker 1: Because the weather is great and it feels like something's happening.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Like big things are happening in Florida. It just feels
- 24:58Speaker 1: that way. So yeah, I guess we can travel to
- 25:02Speaker 1: Florida soon. Digitally through GTA 6. That's coming up.
- 25:11Speaker 2: It's not sponsored.
- 25:12Speaker 1: No, but this was perfect.
- 25:15Speaker 2: That was perfect. That was amazing. I did not know
- 25:18Speaker 2: where this conversation was going. I was just going along
- 25:21Speaker 2: for it.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Okay. All right, I think it's a good time now
- 25:27Speaker 1: to jump to the disappearance of Andrea Allen. Andrea went
- 25:35Speaker 1: missing on the 21st of May. We already know that.
- 25:38Speaker 1: So let's kind of delve a little bit to this timeline.
- 25:43Speaker 1: At around 3 p.m. on Friday, she reported that she
- 25:46Speaker 1: was feeling sick at work and she left. We know, well,
- 25:51Speaker 1: that's the thing that we don't know is what exactly
- 25:54Speaker 1: she felt. I don't think she ever specified to anyone
- 25:59Speaker 1: what actually she felt. But we know that Andrea, for
- 26:04Speaker 1: some reason, goes home a bit early, leaves her secretary
- 26:08Speaker 1: job at the department at 3 p.m., and this is
- 26:14Speaker 1: the last time that anyone had heard or seen her. Well,
- 26:19Speaker 1: we know that the anonymous man that gave a call
- 26:23Speaker 1: to police said he saw her but we don't really
- 26:28Speaker 1: know a lot of information about that particular sighting this
- 26:31Speaker 1: is the last real real sighting that we can completely
- 26:36Speaker 1: verify is when she left early on Wednesday and presumably
- 26:41Speaker 1: she was supposed to go home this is another piece
- 26:45Speaker 1: of information that we don't know but it would make
- 26:47Speaker 1: sense that if you know Andrea is feeling sick she's
- 26:50Speaker 1: gonna go home because she needs to take care of
- 26:53Speaker 1: herself However, between 3 p.m. when she left work and
- 26:59Speaker 1: the next day, at around 11 p.m. when her car
- 27:03Speaker 1: was found, we have no idea what happened. This is around,
- 27:07Speaker 1: I believe, 30 hours. This is more than 24 hours later,
- 27:11Speaker 1: and we have no idea what Andrea did within this
- 27:15Speaker 1: time frame. At 11 p.m. the next day on Saturday,
- 27:19Speaker 1: which was May 22nd, an anonymous man had called the police.
- 27:25Speaker 1: He told them that he had seen a woman slumped
- 27:27Speaker 1: over her steering wheel in her car, and he had
- 27:31Speaker 1: seen this woman slumped over the steering wheel on two
- 27:36Speaker 1: separate occasions. This is an important fact in this case. However,
- 27:42Speaker 1: I wasn't able to find an explanation on what occasions,
- 27:49Speaker 1: like how... like what was the time period between these
- 27:53Speaker 1: two occasions that this man had seen her in the car.
- 27:58Speaker 1: But we do know that this location where the car
- 28:01Speaker 1: was found was actually a parking lot of a southern
- 28:08Speaker 1: United States-based supermarket chain called Winn-Dixie. Winn-Dixie is an American
- 28:16Speaker 1: supermarket chain And it is operating in the southern states
- 28:23Speaker 1: in America. I think it's southern eastern states. And I
- 28:26Speaker 1: think Florida is actually the home base, home state for
- 28:31Speaker 1: Winn-Dixie supermarket chain. Have you ever heard about Winn-Dixie?
- 28:37Speaker 2: No, never. Not even once. It's one of those. Okay,
- 28:41Speaker 2: those exist.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I'm always baffled at how many... chains of things are
- 28:49Speaker 1: in america right every time we're doing a podcast case
- 28:53Speaker 1: it feels like we're finding out about more chains that
- 28:56Speaker 1: we've never heard before this.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Is kind of crazy because in here we only have
- 29:01Speaker 2: like three big ones let's put it this way.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Well we have mcdonald's mcdonald's penetrated even you know the
- 29:08Speaker 1: first one.
- 29:09Speaker 2: No i meant in terms of supermarkets and grocery stores i.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Was talking about in terms of american stuff oh So
- 29:16Speaker 1: in terms of American stuff, we have McD's. We have... Domino's. Domino's.
- 29:24Speaker 1: But to be honest, all of these things came in late.
- 29:26Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, we had McD's, McDonald's since forever.
- 29:31Speaker 1: I remember KFC came just like some years ago, but
- 29:34Speaker 1: now it's big. We have dominoes it's pretty big we
- 29:38Speaker 1: also have uh burger king but it's like only one
- 29:42Speaker 1: one just a couple of them and i think that's.
- 29:46Speaker 2: It i'm thinking if there's any more.
- 29:49Speaker 1: We have subway we don't even have starbucks no we
- 29:52Speaker 1: don't have starbucks but we have our own version of
- 29:54Speaker 1: it i guess regardless uh so windixy supermarket chain um
- 30:01Speaker 1: this is where the car was found.
- 30:06Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy for me that i don't know
- 30:08Speaker 2: from someone who has never stepped foot in america i
- 30:11Speaker 2: always thought it's kind of similar here because in here
- 30:14Speaker 2: we only have what three four grocery chains that's kind
- 30:18Speaker 2: of like common you go to one and you go
- 30:20Speaker 2: to the other i thought it was just target and
- 30:23Speaker 2: walmart no.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I think those are the The big ones. National. But
- 30:29Speaker 1: I think every part of America has their own unique
- 30:34Speaker 1: specific smaller chains.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Kind of cool to think about. I'd love to visit
- 30:39Speaker 2: this one someday.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm actually kind of a big supermarket chain fan.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Me too.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I like going to supermarkets that I've never seen before.
- 30:52Speaker 2: And like comparing which one has something and what's unique
- 30:55Speaker 2: about this.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Yeah. So I feel like this is one of the
- 30:58Speaker 1: reasons why I think we should go to America. I
- 31:00Speaker 1: feel like this is a great place.
- 31:03Speaker 2: A tourist destination for us.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Great place. So now let's jump back to the case.
- 31:09Speaker 1: So we know that this particular Winn-Dixie parking lot was
- 31:13Speaker 1: actually two miles away from Andrea's work.
- 31:18Speaker 2: I have a question. How far is it from her home?
- 31:22Speaker 2: Is it within the distance of her home? Do you
- 31:25Speaker 2: think she would take that route back to her home?
- 31:29Speaker 1: We don't know this because we don't know the exact
- 31:31Speaker 1: location of.
- 31:32Speaker 2: No, I meant like Green Acres. So we know the
- 31:34Speaker 2: general vicinity where she lived, Green Acres. But is this
- 31:38Speaker 2: store connected to a road going back home?
- 31:43Speaker 1: We don't know this information, but this is actually a
- 31:45Speaker 1: very good question.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 31:47Speaker 1: We don't know this information because I wasn't able to
- 31:50Speaker 1: find the exact office where Andrea would be working.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, because it's already gone. Okay.
- 31:57Speaker 1: I wasn't able to find, and I wasn't able to
- 32:01Speaker 1: find the exact address in Green Acres. The only exact
- 32:05Speaker 1: address that we have in this case is the parking
- 32:09Speaker 1: lot itself, the Winn-Dixie parking lot.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was just wondering, like, maybe... During that day,
- 32:16Speaker 2: she was really feeling bad that on her way back home,
- 32:21Speaker 2: she was like, okay, maybe... Did they even sell medicine?
- 32:24Speaker 2: They probably sell medicine there.
- 32:26Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Like, might as well get something before I drive back home.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Or maybe just groceries.
- 32:33Speaker 2: True, yeah.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Maybe this would be her regular grocery spot. We don't
- 32:38Speaker 1: know any of this. We can't say anything about that.
- 32:42Speaker 1: What we can talk a little bit about is... the
- 32:46Speaker 1: location of the parking lot itself so i took a
- 32:50Speaker 1: couple of screenshots here and this parking lot is actually
- 32:56Speaker 1: located at 2500 north dixie highway this is where apparently
- 33:05Speaker 1: when dixie was located back in the day at the
- 33:08Speaker 1: moment it's an empty plot of land But as far
- 33:13Speaker 1: back as 2005 from Google Maps, I could see that
- 33:18Speaker 1: there was in fact a building that seems like it
- 33:21Speaker 1: was demolished around 2005. And I could see that this
- 33:27Speaker 1: building was already present in its form in 1995. So
- 33:35Speaker 1: it's been there for like, let's say, at least a
- 33:39Speaker 1: decade or Starting in 1995, I think this could be
- 33:45Speaker 1: the building that actually was there at the time of
- 33:50Speaker 1: Andrea's disappearance. I do see a little parking lot adjacent
- 33:54Speaker 1: to it. What can you tell us about it? I mean,
- 33:58Speaker 1: not much to say, right? Not much.
- 34:01Speaker 2: It looks very American from the picture in the way
- 34:04Speaker 2: that it feels like everything is spaced apart, but neat
- 34:07Speaker 2: and tidy in a row at the same time.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I know what you mean, but there is a parking lot.
- 34:12Speaker 2: There is a parking lot.
- 34:13Speaker 1: From, from the Google maps, I do see a parking
- 34:16Speaker 1: lot here. Uh, so this is a very interesting case because, uh,
- 34:22Speaker 1: after the anonymous man made those phone calls, uh, made that, sorry,
- 34:26Speaker 1: single phone call to law enforcement, police arrived minutes later.
- 34:31Speaker 1: They found Andrea's car, but they did not find Andrea herself. Um,
- 34:38Speaker 1: So this is something that jumps to my mind immediately. Well, firstly,
- 34:44Speaker 1: I find it pretty weird that the caller didn't wait
- 34:51Speaker 1: until police showed up. Nor has the caller ever came forward.
- 34:59Speaker 1: We do not know the caller's identity. This is the
- 35:03Speaker 1: first thing that jumps to my mind. interesting kind of
- 35:07Speaker 1: like observation that I have here that I found interesting
- 35:11Speaker 1: is how exactly police knew which car they were supposed
- 35:20Speaker 1: to look at because now we don't have the caller
- 35:25Speaker 1: because he just vanished and police arrived so they found
- 35:29Speaker 1: Andrea's car but Andrea was not there so They were
- 35:34Speaker 1: presumably looking for a car that had a woman in
- 35:37Speaker 1: the front seat. But it never happened. I was thinking
- 35:42Speaker 1: since this was 11 p.m. in the evening.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Not much cars.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Maybe not much cars. What do you think?
- 35:48Speaker 2: I'm thinking the same way. Maybe at that point the
- 35:51Speaker 2: store already closed. Because I'm assuming let's just say stores
- 35:56Speaker 2: back then also closed at 10 p.m.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Let's just give it a rough idea. So by 11 p.m.,
- 36:04Speaker 2: there would be way less cars in there, no? And
- 36:07Speaker 2: it's going to be easier to point out which one's which.
- 36:10Speaker 2: And in terms of the caller, he called at 11 p.m.,
- 36:14Speaker 2: but you mentioned he called immediately, right? Because I was
- 36:17Speaker 2: thinking that maybe when he mentioned that he saw Andrea
- 36:22Speaker 2: on two separate occasions, he saw her like midday and
- 36:26Speaker 2: another one at 6 p.m., still slumped. And then by
- 36:29Speaker 2: 11 p.m., okay, I'm going to go back home or
- 36:31Speaker 2: go to a pay phone and call the police. Does
- 36:37Speaker 2: that make sense?
- 36:38Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's a possibility. I find it interesting
- 36:44Speaker 1: that the man would have seen the woman slumped over
- 36:48Speaker 1: like that on two multiple occasions, let's say in a
- 36:53Speaker 1: time frame of several hours.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 36:57Speaker 1: And this man doesn't wait for police to show up.
- 37:03Speaker 1: That is true.
- 37:04Speaker 2: That is a bit odd.
- 37:05Speaker 1: He just goes away on his merry way.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Yeah, like, okay, I already called the police, did my job, bye.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Yeah. So this one, this particular caller.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually really odd that he saw her once
- 37:21Speaker 2: and maybe let's say in the span of A few hours,
- 37:24Speaker 2: couple of hours. He saw her again slumped and he
- 37:26Speaker 2: had like a bit of rage. Okay, this is weird.
- 37:29Speaker 2: I'm gonna call the police. And then once he calls
- 37:31Speaker 2: the police, okay, job's done. I'm gonna go home.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Yeah, this essentially is what happened.
- 37:39Speaker 2: It's a bit odd.
- 37:40Speaker 1: And Andrea gets out of her car during those minutes?
- 37:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very odd.
- 37:50Speaker 1: That is odd. I was thinking maybe there's a chance
- 37:56Speaker 1: that the caller, you know, since it was a grocery store,
- 38:01Speaker 1: he saw her going into the grocery and then coming back.
- 38:06Speaker 1: But then I also find it interesting how in the
- 38:10Speaker 1: reports it was emphasized that this man had seen Andrea
- 38:14Speaker 1: on two separate occasions. To me, two separate occasions sound
- 38:19Speaker 1: more like Two different times of the day. Not like
- 38:25Speaker 1: the brief moments that you spend in the grocery store.
- 38:30Speaker 2: I'm actually assuming that this guy, whoever called, was an employee.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Maybe he saw her, let's say maybe at 6 p.m.,
- 38:42Speaker 2: when he was, I don't know, grabbing the carts from
- 38:45Speaker 2: the parking lot. They're doing some work. And then once again,
- 38:48Speaker 2: when he was closing down, going home.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't assume he's the employee, to be honest.
- 38:57Speaker 1: I think it could be a possibility, but I wouldn't
- 39:00Speaker 1: be very certain that it was an employee.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Or it could be someone who was going to the
- 39:06Speaker 2: grocery store, saw her slumped, and by the time he's
- 39:09Speaker 2: done grocery shopping, about to go home, saw her again,
- 39:12Speaker 2: and then drove back home, called.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Yeah, but that would mean that this person would go
- 39:18Speaker 1: to the grocery store two times.
- 39:21Speaker 2: No, I meant like maybe there's two separate occasions that
- 39:24Speaker 2: we're talking about this. When that person parked his car
- 39:28Speaker 2: in a parking lot. went into the store, and maybe
- 39:31Speaker 2: on his way to the grocery store, he saw Andrea slumped.
- 39:36Speaker 2: And then he was like, okay, maybe it's just she's
- 39:38Speaker 2: sleeping or something. And then when he's done with the grocery,
- 39:41Speaker 2: let's assume that he did one hour in there. He
- 39:45Speaker 2: left and he still saw her slumped. went back home
- 39:49Speaker 2: or went to the nearest payphone, I don't know, call
- 39:52Speaker 2: the police. That could also be two separate occasions, no?
- 39:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be two separate occasions. I guess we
- 39:59Speaker 1: would need more information. When police arrived, they found her
- 40:05Speaker 1: purse inside of the driver's seat. I don't think anything
- 40:10Speaker 1: else other than that was mentioned. So we know that
- 40:14Speaker 1: her purse was in her car. but Andrea is gone.
- 40:21Speaker 1: There is no other information regarding if police did any
- 40:26Speaker 1: forensic tests on the car, but we do have information
- 40:30Speaker 1: that apparently police went to the local hospitals and they
- 40:35Speaker 1: tried to find out if Andrea went there, but they
- 40:40Speaker 1: didn't get any information. So it seems that Andrea never
- 40:44Speaker 1: went to any of the local hospitals. So now they
- 40:49Speaker 1: did not know what to do. Some time has passed,
- 40:53Speaker 1: and I believe it was a week. A week had passed.
- 41:00Speaker 1: And police thought that they may have gotten a very
- 41:04Speaker 1: solid lead. because there was a woman's body that was
- 41:11Speaker 1: found in a nearby canal. Two people were fishing. They
- 41:18Speaker 1: were on an early morning fishing trip nearby when they
- 41:22Speaker 1: discovered the nude body of a young woman floating in
- 41:27Speaker 1: the L3 canal, 20 miles west of West Palm Beach.
- 41:34Speaker 1: The woman was beaten severely about the head before being
- 41:38Speaker 1: wrapped in a sheet weighted down by concrete blocks and barbells,
- 41:43Speaker 1: you know, the ones that you use in the gym.
- 41:47Speaker 1: And the woman was thrown into the canal where the
- 41:50Speaker 1: couple that was fishing spotted her body in the receding water.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Some articles of clothing, including a pair of jeans and
- 42:00Speaker 1: a glittery black tube top, were found discarded close to
- 42:06Speaker 1: her body. Police thought it could have been Andrea, but
- 42:09Speaker 1: they found out it was not her body. It was
- 42:12Speaker 1: actually someone else, a 17-year-old girl by the name of
- 42:19Speaker 1: Marilyn Kennedy. Marilyn Kennedy, I think she was identified maybe
- 42:27Speaker 1: by her dental and fingerprints. and her autopsy came in,
- 42:33Speaker 1: and apparently Mary Lynn Kennedy died of an overdose. But
- 42:38Speaker 1: we have a conflicting piece of report here, because we
- 42:42Speaker 1: kind of want to also consider what happened to this
- 42:46Speaker 1: 17-year-old girl. Maybe it could hold some sort of a connection, potentially,
- 42:51Speaker 1: to Andrea's case. When you look up uh, Mary Lynn
- 42:57Speaker 1: Kennedy's death, you only find one newspaper article from way
- 43:03Speaker 1: back in the day, um, regarding her case. And she
- 43:07Speaker 1: is identified not as a person who died of overdose,
- 43:10Speaker 1: but as a murder victim. And it kind of makes
- 43:12Speaker 1: sense that she is a word murder victim because, you know,
- 43:14Speaker 1: she was tied down by barbells. I mean, you don't
- 43:17Speaker 1: really end up like that.
- 43:19Speaker 2: It's not like an accident.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Definitely. So, uh, we have the information a little bit, uh,
- 43:26Speaker 1: In this article, a faint rain was falling Thursday evening
- 43:30Speaker 1: as premature dust came to Marilyn Kennedy's house in Delray Beach. Quote,
- 43:35Speaker 1: you put in there, said her sister, Patricia Kennedy, 20,
- 43:39Speaker 1: standing in the dusty front yard, that she was a good,
- 43:43Speaker 1: sweet person, that she didn't deserve to die. Inside the
- 43:47Speaker 1: small house, Marilyn talked softly or stared. Her brother, court 15,
- 43:55Speaker 1: sat on a sofa and cried. He would not be consoled.
- 44:01Speaker 1: All became quiet when the newsman on television began to
- 44:04Speaker 1: tell Marilyn's story, summing up her life and death in
- 44:08Speaker 1: 15 seconds. Palm Beach County Sheriff Deputies confirmed publicly Thursday
- 44:14Speaker 1: what Marilyn's father, Joseph, had known in his heart since
- 44:18Speaker 1: last week, that Marilyn was dead. So in this particular article,
- 44:24Speaker 1: we don't really have any information about who would be
- 44:28Speaker 1: responsible for her murder, but we do have in a
- 44:33Speaker 1: separate article a man by the name of Abraham Thomas Oliva,
- 44:39Speaker 1: who is apparently a cocaine dealer who was responsible of
- 44:45Speaker 1: dumping her body in the kennel. This is very interesting
- 44:49Speaker 1: for me because I know we're talking about a separate
- 44:52Speaker 1: case for a little bit here, but Mary Lynn, autopsy
- 45:01Speaker 1: came in that she died of an overdose, but she
- 45:05Speaker 1: also had some sort of blunt injury to her head,
- 45:11Speaker 1: I believe.
- 45:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:13Speaker 1: It was, let's see. woman beaten severely about the head.
- 45:24Speaker 1: So she was, so I don't really know what exactly
- 45:27Speaker 1: happened here to Mary Lynn because autopsy says overdose, but
- 45:32Speaker 1: she was also severely beaten up by the head area.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So now we have another guy, right? Abraham Thomas Oliva.
- 45:42Speaker 1: So why I'm speculating even this far is that we
- 45:47Speaker 1: would like to know if Abraham Thomas Oliva, the man
- 45:51Speaker 1: seemingly responsible for 17-year-old Mary Lynn's death, is he connected
- 45:56Speaker 1: to Andrea? Yeah. So I tried Googling this guy, and
- 46:01Speaker 1: I found law.gestia.com, and apparently there is a case that
- 46:07Speaker 1: another man, well, maybe the same man, Abraham Thomas Oliva,
- 46:12Speaker 1: I believe it's the same man, he is described in
- 46:15Speaker 1: this article as, And he is described in a case
- 46:19Speaker 1: where he won an appeal back in 1974. This is
- 46:24Speaker 1: like four years before Andrea went missing. In this case,
- 46:29Speaker 1: he was originally convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, aiding
- 46:33Speaker 1: and abiding disruption, carrying a firearm during the felony. So
- 46:40Speaker 1: apparently they found him innocent. due to lack of evidence
- 46:45Speaker 1: of a conspiracy. So we do know that there was
- 46:50Speaker 1: some sort of a guy named Abraham Thomas Oliva back
- 46:55Speaker 1: in the day who was dealing cocaine. It seems like
- 46:59Speaker 1: he has been dealing cocaine since the 70s, and he
- 47:03Speaker 1: is responsible for, by the looks of it, murdering 17-year-old
- 47:09Speaker 1: Mary Lynn Kennedy. Other than... the the the location the
- 47:14Speaker 1: proximity we don't have anything else connecting him to andrea's
- 47:19Speaker 1: case what do you think about this guy i mean
- 47:21Speaker 1: this actually plays into what you said about the place
- 47:24Speaker 1: being a dangerous cocaine location yeah.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Definitely definitely it's just a bit hard to point out
- 47:31Speaker 2: or like to relate one guy to another case that
- 47:37Speaker 2: we don't know much about i meant like andrea There's
- 47:40Speaker 2: no evidence or there's no clear indication. It just seems
- 47:44Speaker 2: like Andrea vanished in that parking lot. But hey, could
- 47:49Speaker 2: be a possibility.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was a dangerous location.
- 47:53Speaker 2: It was a very dangerous location, yeah. So, in my opinion...
- 48:00Speaker 2: Is there a possibility that it was him who did it? Yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 2: could be. We know he's related. He does cocaine and
- 48:08Speaker 2: he's a very violent person. But could it also be another,
- 48:11Speaker 2: I don't know, cocaine drug addict or another criminal could
- 48:18Speaker 2: also be the case?
- 48:19Speaker 1: Absolutely. We don't know Andrea's background if she was into
- 48:25Speaker 1: that stuff. We really don't know.
- 48:27Speaker 2: That's actually a very good idea. A very good Very
- 48:30Speaker 2: good point. I meant, like, was she actually using?
- 48:35Speaker 1: Nothing is reported on that.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Right. We can only speculate.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, we are back after a little break that
- 48:47Speaker 1: you guys didn't even notice.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:50Speaker 1: And now we are going to be bringing in another
- 48:55Speaker 1: case that could be potentially related.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Another one?
- 48:59Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know about this one? The murder of
- 49:05Speaker 1: George Birmingham III. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes.
- 49:13Speaker 1: George Birmingham the third was a man murdered by two
- 49:20Speaker 1: men one of those two men were was an uh
- 49:28Speaker 1: an acquaintance of andrea allen this is why we're gonna
- 49:34Speaker 1: be talking about it because um Andrea Allen's acquaintance, and
- 49:40Speaker 1: we don't know in what way, but an acquaintance, for sure,
- 49:45Speaker 1: has been part of a murder of another man. So
- 49:49Speaker 1: let me kind of walk us through this other seemingly
- 49:56Speaker 1: unrelated murder case that took place. Actually... sometime before Andrea
- 50:07Speaker 1: went missing, this was, I believe, nine months before Andrea
- 50:10Speaker 1: went missing, we have on August 9th of 1981, a
- 50:21Speaker 1: group of hunters discovered the body of a 32-year-old George
- 50:26Speaker 1: Birmingham III floating in a canal in the water catchment
- 50:33Speaker 1: area near 45th Street and Haverhill Road. George Birmingham apparently
- 50:42Speaker 1: had hitchhiked from New York to West Palm Beach just
- 50:46Speaker 1: a week earlier, and he had been shot once in
- 50:50Speaker 1: the face before being dumped into the water.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Crazy. It's brutal. Yeah.
- 50:56Speaker 1: The murder went unsolved for two whole years before detectives
- 51:01Speaker 1: began compiling a list of acquaintances, to re-interview in Andrea's case.
- 51:08Speaker 1: One interviewee was actually a person by the name of
- 51:14Speaker 1: George Bellinger. He was 36. And, you know, so what
- 51:20Speaker 1: they were doing now, they were kind of interviewing people
- 51:23Speaker 1: in Andrea's case. They were, you know, I think they
- 51:26Speaker 1: deemed George Birmingham's case as a cold case at this point.
- 51:29Speaker 1: They already maybe even were not... focusing that much they
- 51:34Speaker 1: were basically focusing on andrea's case they talked to a
- 51:38Speaker 1: guy named george bellinger 36 year old acquaintance of andrea
- 51:43Speaker 1: so this guy george bellinger he offhandedly mentioned that he
- 51:49Speaker 1: used to live with another man named everett allure and
- 51:54Speaker 1: this immediately picked the interest of detectives who were actually
- 52:00Speaker 1: working on the George Birmingham case because Everett Lohr actually
- 52:08Speaker 1: was questioned during the initial investigation of that case. Everett
- 52:14Speaker 1: is at that point a 44 year old man and
- 52:18Speaker 1: he never told the investigators at that point that he
- 52:24Speaker 1: lived with George Bellinger. So when Everett was questioned during,
- 52:28Speaker 1: you know, George Birmingham investigation, he didn't say that he
- 52:32Speaker 1: was living with Bellinger. But when Bellinger was questioned in
- 52:37Speaker 1: relation to Andrea's case, he said, oh, I used to
- 52:40Speaker 1: live with Everett. So they started looking into this now
- 52:45Speaker 1: because they were kind of interested and they were kind
- 52:49Speaker 1: of going back a At this point in time, George Bellinger,
- 52:56Speaker 1: you know, the acquaintance of Andrea, he was actually serving
- 53:00Speaker 1: time in a county jail for an unrelated aggravated assault
- 53:04Speaker 1: and robbery case. And I don't really know exactly how
- 53:08Speaker 1: they were able to press Bellinger, but they were, and
- 53:14Speaker 1: he actually confessed to killing George Birbingham alongside Everett Lark.
- 53:21Speaker 1: What happened is that both of the men told police
- 53:26Speaker 1: that there was an argument during which... There was an
- 53:32Speaker 1: argument because George Birmingham actually stole $ 10 from George Bellinger's
- 53:37Speaker 1: girlfriend's purse. So Bellinger told detectives that Everett Lohr forced Mr.
- 53:44Speaker 1: Birmingham at gunpoint to the location... where he was found.
- 53:49Speaker 1: It is a bit of a confusing explanation to me
- 53:53Speaker 1: because Mr. Birmingham allegedly stole $ 10 from Mr. Bellinger's girlfriend's purse,
- 54:00Speaker 1: but this unrelated guy, Everett Lohr, pulled out a gun
- 54:05Speaker 1: on Mr. Birmingham for $ 10 because this guy stole $ 10
- 54:11Speaker 1: from your friend's girlfriend. It feels like an extreme escalation
- 54:17Speaker 1: it is over ten dollars but apparently this is how
- 54:21Speaker 1: it goes down and their original plan was to actually
- 54:25Speaker 1: leave george birmingham on a starlight tour in the city's
- 54:30Speaker 1: remote water catchment area so i was like what is
- 54:34Speaker 1: a starlight tour so starlight tour is a thing according
- 54:39Speaker 1: to wikipedia it's incidents that involved indigenous canadians and members
- 54:46Speaker 1: of the Saskatoon Police Service, over a period spanning from
- 54:50Speaker 1: at least 1976 to 2018, apparently police officers are taught
- 54:56Speaker 1: to have arrested indigenous people in Canada, usually males, for
- 55:01Speaker 1: supposed drunkenness and or disorderly behavior, but sometimes without any cause.
- 55:08Speaker 1: The officers would then allegedly drive them to the outskirts
- 55:12Speaker 1: of the city at night and abandon them in sub-zero temperatures.
- 55:17Speaker 1: some of the victims of such police brutality would end
- 55:22Speaker 1: up dying. So this is where the starlight tour kind
- 55:28Speaker 1: of comes from this saying from, uh, Canadian, I would
- 55:33Speaker 1: say by the sound of it, racist cops, you know,
- 55:37Speaker 1: you just have to say it at this point, this
- 55:39Speaker 1: is how it's sounding. So apparently, um, These two guys,
- 55:45Speaker 1: you know, were supposed to take Mr. Birmingham on this
- 55:50Speaker 1: alleged Starlight tour. But when they got to the location,
- 55:54Speaker 1: apparently Everett Lohr claims that Bellinger now ordered him to
- 55:58Speaker 1: shoot Mr. Birmingham. Everett refused and they were all wrestling
- 56:03Speaker 1: over the gun and it accidentally discharged and struck Mr.
- 56:09Speaker 1: Birmingham in the face. Both men ultimately pleaded guilty to
- 56:14Speaker 1: the murder. And they were sentenced to seven years in prison.
- 56:19Speaker 1: Sounds like a pretty small sentence.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Yeah, only seven years.
- 56:25Speaker 1: It sounds like a small sentence. The two men actually
- 56:31Speaker 1: lived together, Everett, Laura, and George Bellinger. George Bellinger, let's remember,
- 56:37Speaker 1: is an acquaintance of Andrea in some fashion. We don't
- 56:40Speaker 1: know exactly how. And the two of them lived less
- 56:46Speaker 1: than three miles from the parking lot where Andrea's car
- 56:49Speaker 1: was found. Both cases took place just nine months apart
- 56:54Speaker 1: from each other. However, the consistency seemed to end there.
- 56:58Speaker 1: And in 1983, police stated that George Bellinger wasn't being
- 57:04Speaker 1: looked at as a suspect in Andrea's case. But it's
- 57:08Speaker 1: definitely worth mentioning him.
- 57:10Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah. He seems a bit too close to Andre,
- 57:14Speaker 2: even if they're just acquaintances. Because of how the craziness was.
- 57:20Speaker 1: So this is interesting. What to me stands out a
- 57:27Speaker 1: little bit is that I think that in the case
- 57:31Speaker 1: of George Birmingham, George Birmingham's murder, to me it seems
- 57:37Speaker 1: like we don't really know the real story of what
- 57:42Speaker 1: took place.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Because allegedly, George Birmingham steals 10 bucks from Bellinger's girlfriend's purse,
- 57:51Speaker 1: and then Everett points a gun at him. But then
- 57:56Speaker 1: when they go to the location, now Bellinger says, shoot him.
- 58:01Speaker 1: And then Everett is like, no, no, I don't want
- 58:03Speaker 1: to shoot him. They fight over the gun, and it accidentally...
- 58:10Speaker 1: blasts Mr. Bellinger in the face.
- 58:13Speaker 2: Why was Mr. Bellinger... Oh, no, not Bellinger.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Sorry, Birmingham.
- 58:17Speaker 2: Birmingham still there in the first place. I would have
- 58:19Speaker 2: ran off.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Maybe he was.
- 58:22Speaker 2: Tied up. Maybe he was... Maybe he wasn't capable of
- 58:25Speaker 2: running away.
- 58:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 58:27Speaker 2: At that point. How crazy coincidence is it?
- 58:30Speaker 1: But to me, it just sounds like... How can they
- 58:34Speaker 1: be tussling over a gun and it accidentally shoots... Him
- 58:38Speaker 1: in the face.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Yeah, what a crazy coincidence, right?
- 58:41Speaker 1: It just sounds like.
- 58:43Speaker 2: A made-up story.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know. I shouldn't be commentating too
- 58:48Speaker 1: much about it, but it just seems like.
- 58:51Speaker 2: Too good to be true.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Like, it could... Like, to me, it looks like it
- 58:55Speaker 1: could have been something else.
- 58:56Speaker 2: Because the thing is, if he was shot, like, let's
- 58:59Speaker 2: say on the leg, or on the arm, or in
- 59:01Speaker 2: the chest, or something, it's more believable than... They were
- 59:07Speaker 2: fighting for a gun. It went off and... hit straight
- 59:10Speaker 2: to his face.
- 59:11Speaker 1: I wonder if it's possible that they didn't, in fact,
- 59:14Speaker 1: take him to the wooded location and killed him execution
- 59:19Speaker 1: style and made up a story in order to... Reduce
- 59:25Speaker 1: the sentence. Yeah, reduce the sentence.
- 59:27Speaker 2: I could see that happening.
- 59:28Speaker 1: Is this a real possibility?
- 59:31Speaker 2: It could be.
- 59:32Speaker 1: In Mr. Birmingham's case.
- 59:34Speaker 2: It could be. No?
- 59:36Speaker 1: Yeah. And now, what do you think about this being
- 59:41Speaker 1: somehow related to Andrea? Let's quickly recap. Andrea is reporting
- 59:46Speaker 1: that she feels sick on Friday afternoon. Her car is
- 59:53Speaker 1: being seen by an anonymous man outside. 30 hours later
- 59:57Speaker 1: in a grocery parking lot, when police show up, only
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: her purse is in the car and she's never seen again.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Do you think that somehow Bellinger and Everett lore can
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: these two guys who lived less than three miles away
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: from the parking lot, and at this point, they had
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: already committed the murder of Mr. Burbingham for nine months.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: If they committed a murder like this execution style, I
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: think it is at least... It should be possible that
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: they are crazy murdering psychopaths that potentially murdered even before that.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: I mean, they killed a guy. They murdered someone over
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: 10 bucks. So... These are some crazy violent individuals.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: I mean, $ 10 back in the day wasn't $ 10, but still,
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: it's such a small amount to take someone's life.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: Absolutely, it doesn't make sense. So over $ 10, they killed
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: the guy. And why does Bellinger... Why does Andrea know Bellinger?
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Bellinger is a crazy psycho killer by the sound of it.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Anything, they could have met somewhere, maybe went to the
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: same school. It's not as if they had a very
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: close relationship. It's just an acquaintance.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: But it was close enough that police talked to Bellinger.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Why would police go talk to Bellinger regarding Andrea's case?
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: Maybe they were just being thorough.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: So there has to be some sort of something connecting
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Bellinger and Andrea.
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: Could be. Could be.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: And Bellinger and Everett lived less than three miles away.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: I just think it's a bit too much of a
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: coincidence for them to be involved in Andrea's case. Mainly
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: because it was a random day when Andrea was feeling
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: bad and she went back home or allegedly was on
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: her way home on a random hour of that random day,
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: slumped over a car at the random parking lot and
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: all of a sudden... They both were there. Just a
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: bit too random for me.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: I would probably guess that if Bellinger was involved in
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Andreas' case, I don't think it would be like that.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: I would think that maybe... They were meeting? Bellinger, I
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: think maybe... To be honest, at the moment, as I'm
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: thinking about it, I don't... think that or or actually
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: or is it possible that Bellinger is the anonymous man
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: making the phone call now this is something.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Why would he dare it was a random parking lot.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Oh in such case I don't think Andrea is in
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: the car. To begin with. If Bellinger is an anonymous
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: phone caller, then I don't think Andrea is in the car.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Let's be real.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: You meant in the way she met up with him?
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: No, I think Andrea is gone. By the time he's
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: calling police... No, I meant.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Why did he meet her in the first place in
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: this scenario?
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Meet her i don't think he would be meeting her
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: if he is the anonymous caller i think he had
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: already in one way shape or form being responsible or
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: knew of andrea's murder and knew of andrea's car being
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: parked in the wind dixie parking lot and he just
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: called the cops i'm not.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: Gonna lie that anonymous caller not stepping forward it's a
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: bit odd it's a bit odd like If he did
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: step up, maybe he was just scared, this anonymous caller,
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: that he would be held responsible. Could be also a
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: completely innocent person who just got spooked out that they
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: couldn't find her. Maybe he'll get investigated more. He was
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: the last person who's seen her. Maybe the police would
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: think he did it. I could see it happening, right?
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: The anonymous man.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: He is very suspicious right now would he would he
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: think he would be suspicious yeah yeah he would think
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: he's looking suspicious he could be.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: A completely suspicious person or he could also be like
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: just an innocent person like okay i'm very scared right now.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: I went on reddit And I found someone suggesting a
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: very interesting explanation why anonymous man doesn't come forward. It
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: could be that there is a warrant for his arrest
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to interact with police. He just
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: reports something as a good Samaritan, but he then doesn't
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: want to be identified.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: I could see that. I could see that happening.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: Because it feels like in America, lots of people have
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: these warrants for your arrest. It's so crazy. Like people
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: just legit vigilantes or I don't know how to describe them.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: They sue each other.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: No, no. Like people just like, there's a warrant for
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: my arrest and I'm just on the run. I feel
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: like there's a bunch of, not a bunch of, but
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: I feel like in America, there's people like actually on
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: the run. The police are searching. And that's so interesting.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: That's very interesting.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: And then you have the bounty hunters. It's a real
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: profession in America. You go, you... Do.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: We have them here?
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: No, we don't have bounty hunters here.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: In Europe?
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: I don't think so. Right? I don't think so.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Never heard of them outside of.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: It's so interesting for me. Bounty hunters. That's so.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: That's interesting, man.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: That's bizarre. Bizarre.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: And interesting no i don't want to say anything bad
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: about it i mean if it works it works.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: No i find it kind of crazy but in a
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: good way like okay that that's i don't.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Have any comment on it because i just don't know
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: what to think of it but it's.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Interesting it's very interesting um yeah going back to the case.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Going back to case so i could.
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: See that caller being either held accountable but i could
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: also see him being innocent and now he's gonna be
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: held accountable no But I do not think it's... Who's
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: that guy again?
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: Bellinger? Bellinger.
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: I don't see him being that. It just feels like
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: too much of a coincidence. But it could be a case.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: It could be a possibility.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Why would Bellinger, who already feels like he got away
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: with killing a guy over 10 bucks, try to put
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: himself in more risk by calling police on his own
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: crime in Andrea's case?
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Exactly. But I could see how he could be connected
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: to Andrea in a way that... Is there a possibility
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Andrea owes him money?
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: It is a possibility because we don't know anything about
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Andrea's background.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: We have no idea.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: Because if this guy could kill someone for 10 bucks,
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: then he could do it again.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like this guy just... I wouldn't rule
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: out that Bellinger has killed people. And by the time
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: they connected Mr. Birmingham's murder to him, he was already
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: in county jail. So this was a criminal. He was
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: a criminal, and Andrea knew a criminal to the point
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: where their connection was obvious enough for police to start
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: investigating Bellinger. I feel like there's some sort of a hidden...
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Because why would Andrea know this... absolute psycho killer, potential
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: absolute psycho killer, Bellinger.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: Could also be just a random encounter, you know? Could
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: be just they went to the same school or something.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: No, they didn't. He's 36. Oh, crap.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: Okay. Maybe they met at work.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: This guy doesn't work. Bellinger doesn't have a job. Let's
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: be real.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: She worked as a secretary for a rehab center. Maybe there.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: That could be an angle. That's an angle. That's a
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: real angle.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: So generally, I was thinking about the theories in this case, right?
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: So I think there are several theories that And I
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: would say these are the main theories that I have.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: I kind of wrote down some theory notes for me.
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: Give me a second. I kind of want to quickly
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: go over this. There are several theories that try to
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: explain what happened to Andrea Allen. Let's remember that Andrea
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: was last seen on Friday afternoon when she left work
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: and she was reported to have been slumped over in
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: her car the following evening. What happened between the time
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: she left work and the anonymous man called could she
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: have been at the parking lot for more than 24
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: hours or did she make it back home on friday
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: after she left work and something happened to her on
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: saturday we don't really know what could make a person
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: slump over the wheel like that we also don't really.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Know i read some reddit comments that she could have
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: been drugged she.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Would have been drugged okay.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: But i could also see it being having a high
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: fever and driving back home, you had high fevers before.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: You know how bad it could get, right? So could
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: you see yourself being slumped over in the car when you're,
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: let's say, having that peak high fever and you're just
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: trying to survive back home? Yes.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: Not for an extended period.
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: Yeah, not for an extended period, of course.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'm trying to get to a
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: comfortable place.
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: I don't think so. So one theory suggests that Andrea
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: really became sick at work and managed to wander off
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: during the brief time period before police got to her
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: car and she may have gotten into an accident such
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: as falling into a body of water, then drowning and
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: her body never being found or resurfacing. However, the timeline,
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: in my opinion, doesn't really add up. If Andrea drove
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: to the parking lot and was sick for more than
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: 24 hours, How unlucky would she be to leave her
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: car and end up dying within the several minute period
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: that it took police to arrive at her car? I
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: kind of rule out this idea that she was sick
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: and she went to the parking lot. She was sick
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: there for like 30 hours in the parking lot. And
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: then she got out of the car and passed away
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: in literally the... several minutes that the police needed to
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: get to her. It doesn't make sense.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. And the police would have had her.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Absolutely. I don't think it makes sense. Foul play is
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: another theory in Andrea's case. An opportunistic predator could have
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: recognized that Andrea was in a vulnerable state and then
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: they took advantage of the situation. But the predator would
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: have had to commit the crime in the few minutes
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: that it took the police to arrive again. Doesn't make sense.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: It makes more sense to me than the first one.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: To me, it doesn't make sense. Because it's like, it
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: literally took only a couple of minutes to.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: But I could see this predator having a car. And
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: Andrea was a petite woman. She was, what, five? Five feet?
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: And if she was there in the parking lot, slumped
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: over for hours, someone would have noticed her. Maybe took advantage.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: I would like to see... If there were fingerprints on
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: the outside, that would be good to see, right? If
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: there were someone else's fingerprints on the handle, door handle
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: on the outside. Because I could see her being easy
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: to carry over someone's car, as brutal as that sounds.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: And then a few minutes after, the police arrived, but
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: the car was already driven off.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: That's a good point about the fingerprints. Another theory speculates
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that maybe Andrea was drugged by someone at work and
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: then followed with a culprit getting very lucky and committing
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: a crime before policing. I don't really feel like that's
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: the case because if she was drugged at work, I
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: think when you go online in this case, a lot
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: of people are actually confusing the fact that her body,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: or sorry, her car was actually found the next day.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: Some people are thinking that it's the same day It
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: was actually the next day. So don't think someone dragged
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: her at work and followed her and waited for 30 hours.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Why even let her out of work? Like within the
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: area of work, I meant.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: No. So this is where things get interesting for me.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: Another theory that is widely discussed is that Andrea was
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: never in the car to begin with and that the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: anonymous caller was involved. This man could have known more
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: about what happened or could have even been involved personally
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: in Andrea's case. The caller is the only person to
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: have allegedly seen Andrea. No one else reported her in
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: that car. Maybe it's possible that Andrea's car was actually
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: at the parking lot since Friday and Andrea never was
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: in it, slumped over the wheels. the caller could have
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: tried to throw off the timeline. In addition, the caller
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: never came forward and he did not wait for police
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: to come and check on Andrea. The caller just made
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: a call to police and then drove away and never
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: came forward to police later to provide more information. If
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: the caller had just stayed with Andrea until police arrived,
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: Andrea would probably be alive and we would know more.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: If she wasn't, then we would know more about the case.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: But the caller just vanished. So I was obviously thinking,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: for me, I'm not going to lie, the anonymous caller,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: the more I'm thinking about it, the more it feels
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: like he is responsible. However, I went on Reddit and
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: there was a very good comment that kind of goes
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: in a different direction that says that the caller is
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: not responsible. So this is what the comment is saying.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: I don't know who commented because this is a comment
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: from nine years ago and the username has already been deleted. Okay.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: But this person is saying this. I'm not saying it's
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: impossible or anything, but it's a little bit difficult for
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: me to believe that the caller was involved in her disappearance.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: It's possible that he wanted to create a false timeline
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: for the police, but if you're trying not to get caught,
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: wouldn't it make more sense to not make the call
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: at all If you don't make the call, it probably
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: takes at least another 10 plus hours before she even
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: gets reported missing. And at that point, the police have
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: an even larger possible time frame for her to have
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: been kidnapped. 3 p.m. until whenever she doesn't show up
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: for work and gets reported missing as opposite to something
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m., whatever. That being said,
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: it's also a little weird that that he reported seeing
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: her slumped over in the parking lot twice. I guess
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: it's possible that he was a customer who saw her
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: there when he arrived, and she was still there 30
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: minutes or so later when he left. But other than that,
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: I can't really imagine anyone other than an employee who
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: would go to a grocery store twice in the same
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: day within a few hours of each other. Maybe he
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: realized that he forgot milk or something when he got
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: home and went back I don't think the phone call
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: is necessarily the most suspicious thing in the world, though.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: I might do the same thing in the caller situation.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Slumped over the steering wheel, it's a pretty unusual position
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: to be in. And the grocery store parking lot is
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: a pretty unusual place to be stopped like that, especially
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. probably wouldn't want to
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: get too personally involved in something like that but if
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: there was reason to believe that someone might not be
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: in the best shape and maybe needs help i'd consider
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: calling the police or telling a manager at the store
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: or something so basically this person is saying that why
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: if you're responsible why call that's true i agree with
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: that why call.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: Yeah I never really considered it, but yeah, why call?
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: My gut feeling is telling me that it could be
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: someone who maybe knew that something happened to Andrea, but
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: they maybe weren't 100% responsible. They weren't cold-blooded killer. And
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: they kind of just didn't know what to do. And
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: they were panicking. But they knew more. And they called police.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: For me, I'm going with the innocent one. Mainly because
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: I could see myself doing it as well. For example,
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: we're at the grocery store.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: The caller is innocent? Yes. But, okay, please tell me why.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: So, for example, we're in the grocery store. And let's
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: say it's 3 p.m. or maybe 4. And then we saw...
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: person slumped in the car we would notice that it's
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: weird right it's weird but we wouldn't like we wouldn't
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: we wouldn't think much of it's like okay that's pretty
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: weird odd but if for example we come back to
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: the grocery store at 8 p.m and that person still
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: slumped on that car we like do that person has
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: been there since 3 a.m are they dead i could
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: see myself going to the security person and say i
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: went there i went i went here earlier and there
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: was a lady slumped there and she still slumped i
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: wouldn't call the police though i would just tell someone in.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Security but this guy called police.
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: Could also be, you know, I could also see why,
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: I guess.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: For me, I don't, my gut feeling is telling me
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: that the caller is connected. You know why? Because I
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: don't think that Andrea managed within minutes to climb out
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: that car and just disappear forever.
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: Do you think that caller... there's a possibility that that
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: caller abducted Andrea and then when she was already abducted,
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: called the police to create some diversion.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: I think that's a possibility. I think it could be
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: a situation where maybe this wasn't an extreme seasoned criminal.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: It was a person committing a crime like this for
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: the first time or maybe like Maybe the first time.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Maybe the first time. And they were going through different emotions.
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: Guilt, fear.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: And somehow they just end up calling. Because the only
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: reason why I think the caller is involved, to me
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: it seems like, and I could be wrong obviously, but
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: it seems to me that it's more likely that the
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: caller knows more than Andrea magically disappearing within minutes. She's
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: already there slumped over for some time.
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: For hours in the night.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Yeah. For some odd reason, she disappeared. What are the
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: chances that she disappears like that?
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: I would say there were more.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: I.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Would say there's a huge possibility that she could have
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: disappeared within those hours rather than in the minutes.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Minutes just feel a bit
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: too tight for it to just disappear like that. No trace.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. I think at this stage,
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: probably a good time to wrap up the case.
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: This one's really tough.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Everything else would be just pure speculation. I think we
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: would like to ask our audience, what do you guys think?
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: Do you have any other possibilities that we missed? Or
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: what do you think about... Do you guys think that
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: the caller is involved in this case? Or do you
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: think that there is some other explanation? Also, maybe you
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: guys know some more details about this case. We would
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: be very interested to know from you guys. And as always,
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: we're going to be here talking to you soon. Until then,
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: please stay safe. And yeah, take care, guys.
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: And thank you very much for the commenters in every
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: single episode. It's kind of crazy because remember Ray Rivera's case?
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: I was reading some comments about it and yeah, our
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: audience made very nice points. In Ray's case? Yeah.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: What were they saying? Do you remember?
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: Yeah, there was this one comment. I'm really sorry, but
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: I forgot who commented it. But that person commented that
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: the injuries Ray had is similar to a hit and run.
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: Is that comment familiar?
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, I never
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: really considered it, but it does. Like the way the
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: shins were broken, the injuries.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: That's fascinating. How did I miss that comment?
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: Right? I'm going to have to point it out to
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: you later on. Yeah. But thank you very much for
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: all our commenters and all of the listeners. We really
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: appreciate it. And we can't wait to talk to you
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: once again.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: Yes, guys. Thank you very much. Take care.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: Take care.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Bye-bye.
