1:17
Speaker 1: or as I like to say, Texas Time. Okay, Now
1:22
Speaker 1: today our first case is heartbreaking, as all of them are.
1:30
Speaker 1: Tammy Lynn Ferrell was born February eighteenth, nineteen sixty one,
1:35
Speaker 1: and she would be sixty four today. On October twenty seventh,
1:40
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, twenty nine year old Tammy Ferrell This
1:45
Speaker 1: vanished in northern California. That evening. Tammy dropped off her
1:50
Speaker 1: two young sons and live Voke Now. She was supposed
1:53
Speaker 1: to return shortly to pick them up, but before heading back,
1:57
Speaker 1: she stopped at her friend's house around seven, saying she
2:01
Speaker 1: had to run because she had to go pick up
2:04
Speaker 1: her boys. But Danny never returned to pickuper boys, and
2:09
Speaker 1: she's never been heard from again. Her mother reported her
2:13
Speaker 1: missing the next day. On October twenty eighth, Just a
2:17
Speaker 1: few days later, on October thirty, first, Jimmy's car, a
2:22
Speaker 1: dark blue nineteen eighty eight Ford Escort, was found abandoned
2:27
Speaker 1: in a remote area near Oroville, California. The car had
2:33
Speaker 1: been pushed into a ravine along Lower French Creek Road
2:37
Speaker 1: and came to rest in dense brush near Binny Creek. Okay, guys,
2:42
Speaker 1: the scene raised serious red flags for more than just me. Okay.
2:47
Speaker 1: The steering wheel was bent forward, suggesting someone might have
2:51
Speaker 1: been inside the vehicle when it went over the rear
2:55
Speaker 1: RENDA rear window was missing, the windshield was cracked, but
3:00
Speaker 1: by the time authorities found it, the car had been
3:04
Speaker 1: stripped by vandals and, according to reports, wiped clean of DNA.
3:13
Speaker 1: Her niece Leanne later said the entire car was completely
3:18
Speaker 1: wiped down. They took time to wipe the car completely
3:22
Speaker 1: down of any DNA of my aunt or anybody in
3:26
Speaker 1: the car. Someone was making sure that nothing was found. Okay, guys,
3:33
Speaker 1: if that's not chilling enough. Soon after the car was discovered,
3:38
Speaker 1: Timmy's grandmother began receiving strange and disturbing phone calls. The
3:44
Speaker 1: caller said things like you won't find her, you will
3:49
Speaker 1: find her in bags. She did wrong. She's not on
3:55
Speaker 1: this earth anymore. What the actual hell? People? No, I
4:02
Speaker 1: know if this is pranks, if this real stuff, No,
4:05
Speaker 1: just do not do that to this family. They are
4:08
Speaker 1: already being traumatized, and people are doing this now. Family
4:14
Speaker 1: members have long suspected Tammy's former boyfriend may have been
4:19
Speaker 1: behind those calls and possibly her disappearance, but despite interviews, leads,
4:26
Speaker 1: and countless hours of investigation, this case has never been solved. Guys,
4:35
Speaker 1: I want to know his name. I need more information
4:38
Speaker 1: about him. I need to know more. So if anybody knows,
4:42
Speaker 1: If somebody in Tamy's family wants to reach out to me,
4:46
Speaker 1: my mail address is Terry at tcwtmedia dot com because
4:51
Speaker 1: I have questions now. Tammy's DNA profile has been entered
4:57
Speaker 1: into the Department of Justice database, chesting case she or
5:02
Speaker 1: remains were ever found. When Tammy was last seen, she
5:07
Speaker 1: was five foot tall and weighed around two hundred and
5:09
Speaker 1: thirty pounds. She has a tattoo of the name ed
5:13
Speaker 1: on her ankle and a daisy on one of her shoulders.
5:18
Speaker 1: Her mother insists it is completely out of character for
5:23
Speaker 1: Tammy to vanish without a word. At the time she disappeared.
5:27
Speaker 1: She lived in Gridley, California. She was the mother of
5:30
Speaker 1: two boys, just nine and seven years old when she
5:35
Speaker 1: went missing. Guys, she wouldn't just walk away from her kids. Okay,
5:39
Speaker 1: it's been over thirty years since Tammy went missing, and guys,
5:44
Speaker 1: I need you to listen to me. Tammy Ferrell is
5:47
Speaker 1: not just another name on a list. She is not
5:50
Speaker 1: just another case for us to shout about. She's a mother,
5:55
Speaker 1: she has a daughter, she's a loved one, and guys,
5:58
Speaker 1: her sons deserve to know what happened to her and
6:02
Speaker 1: to know for sure that she did not choose to
6:06
Speaker 1: walk away from them. So if you know anything, I
6:11
Speaker 1: mean anything, even the teeny tiniest bit of information, please

6:34
Speaker 1: word out. Okay. Now, if you know of a missing

7:15
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, twenty six year old Bryant Palasios Zunaga
7:21
Speaker 1: vanished from Redwood City, California. He was last seen that
7:25
Speaker 1: afternoon in his community, calm and showing no signs of distress.
7:31
Speaker 1: And after that, nothing else, no messages, just silence. Bryant
7:39
Speaker 1: moved to the US with his parents when he was
7:41
Speaker 1: eight years old. Brian had gone on to college where
7:45
Speaker 1: he earned a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology. Guys,
7:51
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but that's impressive.
7:54
Speaker 1: That is two very big degrees. Okay, he's a smart guy. Okay,
8:00
Speaker 1: let's just put this out there. He'd be smart, guys. Now.
8:05
Speaker 1: Days later, his case took an unexpected turn. Bryant's car
8:11
Speaker 1: was found more than five hundred miles away in No Gal's, Arizona,
8:17
Speaker 1: right at the border. Okay, the car was abandoned with
8:21
Speaker 1: none of his belongings inside. There was no signs of
8:25
Speaker 1: forced entry, no evidence of a struggle. The trail simply
8:31
Speaker 1: stopped there. Guys, there doesn't have to be forced entry
8:36
Speaker 1: or evidence of a struggle. Okay, somebody walks up to
8:39
Speaker 1: your car with a gun, you're gonna let him in
8:42
Speaker 1: the car and then they have time to clean it
8:44
Speaker 1: up as well. His family said, to their knowledge, Briant
8:48
Speaker 1: did not know anyone in no gals Arizona. Now, this discovery,
8:55
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, has raised way more questions than
8:58
Speaker 1: providing answers, like me, did Bryant drive to Nogallus himself?
9:03
Speaker 1: Was someone else behind the wheel? Was he trying to
9:06
Speaker 1: leave willingly? Or like I said, did someone force him?
9:10
Speaker 1: And investigators are still searching for the truth. Bryant's sister,
9:15
Speaker 1: Christina has been leading the family's efforts to find him.
9:20
Speaker 1: She's distributed flyers, organized searches, and appealed directly to the public.
9:25
Speaker 1: Her message is clear, please share his photo. Put it
9:30
Speaker 1: everywhere on car windows, bus stops, bulletin boards, even stadiums.
9:36
Speaker 1: Somebody must know something. Bryant is described as five foot five,
9:43
Speaker 1: weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds, with black hair
9:46
Speaker 1: and brown eyes. He is known for his kindness, his
9:50
Speaker 1: reliability in the ease in which he makes friends. His
9:55
Speaker 1: disappearance has left a painful void for his family, friends,
9:59
Speaker 1: and neighbors. Law enforcement continues to investigate that they stress
10:05
Speaker 1: the importance of community involvement, saying sometimes it's the smallest detail,
10:12
Speaker 1: a citing a comment, a memory can break open in
10:15
Speaker 1: case like this, As Christina says, your voice matters, even
10:21
Speaker 1: if you think it's nothing. Please share it. Brian to
10:27
Speaker 1: Palatio soon Ago, remains missing. His family has not given
10:31
Speaker 1: up hope. It's like the police said, if you have
10:34
Speaker 1: any information about Brian's disappearance, even if you just heard
10:38
Speaker 1: it and it's your say, still call Redwood City Police
10:42
Speaker 1: Department at six five o seven eight zero seven one
10:47
Speaker 1: one eight, and guys, please be sure to share Brian's
10:51
Speaker 1: missing poster from our midday Missing Facebook Guys. It's something small,
10:58
Speaker 1: but we never know who is going to see it. Okay, now, lovelies,
11:05
Speaker 1: I chose these tips for today because fun fact, like
11:08
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I'm pre recording this episode. I am
11:11
Speaker 1: in California, and we all know what's in California. Yep,
11:16
Speaker 1: the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland I mean, I'm the
11:21
Speaker 1: Disney Girl, so prefer Disney World. But let me tell you,
11:26
Speaker 1: I like Disneyland as well. I like anything with the mouth.
11:30
Speaker 1: So it felt like the perfect time to share some
11:33
Speaker 1: safety tips for making the most of the magic while
11:37
Speaker 1: keeping yourself and your family safe. Okay, first thing, please
11:43
Speaker 1: have a family meeting spot because if someone gets separated,
11:46
Speaker 1: you don't want to rely on cell phones. Pick a
11:49
Speaker 1: spot near the entrance or a landmark inside the park
11:53
Speaker 1: where everyone can meet up. Now, for the little ones,
11:58
Speaker 1: point out cast members, which, if you didn't know, employees
12:02
Speaker 1: are called cast members, so they know who to approach
12:05
Speaker 1: for help. Every cast member at Disney were's a name
12:08
Speaker 1: tag identifying them as a cast member, their name, and
12:13
Speaker 1: what country they come from. So please point them out
12:17
Speaker 1: to your littles so they know who to ask for help. Okay.
12:21
Speaker 1: Slip a card with your phone number inside your child's pocket,
12:26
Speaker 1: shoe lanyard. Okay. Some parents even ride it on the
12:31
Speaker 1: inside of their child's wristband. That way if they get lost,
12:35
Speaker 1: help can reach you quickly. Key an important thing. Dehydration
12:41
Speaker 1: and heat exhaustion sneak up fast and the California son. Okay,
12:45
Speaker 1: so you want to carry refillable water bottles, take shade breaks,
12:49
Speaker 1: and don't push through if someone feels dizzy or weak,
12:52
Speaker 1: Because guys, safety comes first. Fun second. Now, rules matter,
13:00
Speaker 1: they matter, They're there for a reason. Okay. When you're
13:04
Speaker 1: on a ride, always secure your light bars, your belts
13:08
Speaker 1: and harnesses properly. Make sure your kids meet the high requirements.
13:14
Speaker 1: Keep arms, legs and phones inside the ride. Okay. A
13:18
Speaker 1: dropped phone on Big Thunder Mountain isn't worth the risk. Okay,
13:23
Speaker 1: just put it all up, especially on the rides that
13:26
Speaker 1: go upside down. Okay. Use a backpack or cross body
13:32
Speaker 1: back the zip shut, even a good old fashioned fanny pack. Okay.
13:37
Speaker 1: Keep bullets and phones in front compartments and avoid overstuffing
13:41
Speaker 1: strollers where things can be easily grabbed. You know, not
13:45
Speaker 1: everybody is at Disney to just have fun. Okay. Now,
13:50
Speaker 1: disney landfills magical at night, but crowds can be thick
13:55
Speaker 1: and lightning is dim, especially during the fire works, So
14:01
Speaker 1: hold hands with your littles, keep the belongings extra close,
14:05
Speaker 1: and be extra mindful when exiting the park after fireworks
14:10
Speaker 1: because thousands of people are moving at once. I will
14:14
Speaker 1: tell you when we were at Disneyland a year and
14:18
Speaker 1: a half ago. We were watching the Phantasma show and
14:23
Speaker 1: the dragon caught on fire. People started running. Thank goodness,
14:29
Speaker 1: monkey butt. We kept our hands on our okay, so
