10 Hour Live Rebroadcast with Steve Stockton Part 2

So here we go again into the world of the Faye.

Be careful, make sure you have your gifts at tobacco, candy sweets and liquor, take

off your red clothing, and make sure you're in the middle of the line.

And whatever you do, don't leave the group, and don't pick those berries.

Also, don't set out and seek something which you cannot possibly understand.

If you're unfortunate enough to ever happen upon a fairy, remember to never give them

your name, for this gives them power, and possibly even complete control over you.

Perhaps give them a fake name or even a nickname, and remember, if you know their name and

say it aloud so they can hear it, they must leave you alone.

Who knows why, it's simply a law of fairy nature, as far as the Faye are concerned.

When trees die, sometimes springs of wild mushrooms sprout up in its place.

Many believe this is where the portals to the fairy realms lie, inside these mushroom

rings, these fairy rings.

Never even stand inside one, let alone fall asleep.

Come first hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder if maybe this is one of the reasons

people are going missing.

Being lost in the woods for days, and sometimes even weeks, a human being is going to get

hungry.

Someone dehydrated, confused, and most likely delirious, and possibly even hypothermic, isn't

going to be thinking straight and may see these mushrooms as food.

Is this another lure?

Are the Faye themselves, what are making these people suddenly sick and needing to separate

from the group, only to find themselves confused and lost and not knowing even sometimes

who or where they are?

Maybe they suddenly come upon these mushrooms, and then their discobobby later state decide

to eat them.

Who knows, maybe the fairies even put it in their minds to do so.

Then, they enter the fairy realm, and who knows what is done with them.

Most likely their loved ones will never see them again.

Mushroom rings equals fairy trap, lesson number one.

Now, there are many types of phenomena that come along with a fairy encounter.

Sometimes a person will experience just one of these things, and other times they'll

experience two or more, sometimes all.

One thing we've been hearing about more and more recently in the stories, or what I

like to call, the almost missing.

This is a profound silence, suddenly coming upon nature right before the encounter.

I've experienced this myself.

Kind of static electricity, energy type feeling will enter the air as well, leaving all

the hairs on your bodies to stand completely on in.

One of those electric charges, like right before loud and particularly violent thunderstorms.

It will be a sense of losing time somehow.

Of course, with no way of knowing why, or how the time was lost, and sometimes even

where it went to.

Many people report, while experiencing a fairy encounter, one they thought they had

just happened to come across randomly, whether to their greater terrible look.

There's a sense in the back of the mind somehow, perhaps even in their subconscious,

that whatever display their way to sing is being put on just for them, as though it wasn't

such a random or chance encounter at all.

There's always either an unusually clouded or unusually vivid memory of the experience,

and you can also start to feel as though this particular siding event happened at a very

specific time in your life.

As if it were fate, somehow with the fake encounter, somehow marking a turning point

in your life, across roads, a new beginning.

But perhaps these stories were made up by the faith themselves, in order to cause those

who hunt them to think them more harmless and unassuming.

This reconciliation, being that we do not have to toss these old legends aside completely

and come to know the faith in a different light, perhaps they'll become even more enchanting

to us, even as we become more aware of the danger associated with and all around them.

Now let's talk about the missing and the faithful.

I've talked before about many of the parameters used when deciding which cases of missing people

fit into the completely baffling, those which have no other explanation at all, then something

we humans may consider otherworldly.

We know the fear, or much more commonly reported, is being seen than angels, or even demons,

however we still know much less about them.

We know they're misunderstood for sure.

Keep in mind, again, what we've always been told about them and what's actually the

truth.

When a person goes missing, all we really have to go on is either the scant evidence left

behind if there even is any, or the testimony of the people who, for whatever reason, were

allowed to come back.

Yes, I used the word allowed here, because there's no way of escaping the ferry room without

permission, once you've entered a portal, even by complete misstep or accident, you will

be trapped there forever, unless you're granted permission to leave.

In speaking of all the many types of different ferries, some of the missing may have encountered

right before they vanished, the mind may begin to wander to all of the causes of death,

all of the ways we try to be reasonable and rationalize the way in which some of the people

were said to have met their end while in the woods.

We've talked much about the hideous and unimaginable creatures some of the faithful

can actually are, but there are also some species who are inherently beautiful and charming,

much like the fairy stories we've heard of old.

I wonder if it's even more likely that it was some of these types who have led many of

the missing to their own demise?

Sort of beautiful ones going out as bait for the more terrifying ones.

Now, when exploring how many people are said to be hypothermic, I can't help but be

reminded of the azerite fairy.

Similar to, but not the same as the mermaid, the azerite are incredibly beautiful, but

quite shy, most nomadic creatures who aren't all inherently evil tend to be sometimes.

The touch of the azerite's hand, however, will cause the human skin to become so very

cold it can never feel warm again.

Thus, possibly inducing the hypothermic condition that is said to be responsible for many of

the missing who are later found deceased under strange circumstances.

Although said to only surface once a century, it's not certain for how long this once

a century visit is for from these faithful.

Who knows how many victims it has time to take from this earth in that time?

As mentioned earlier, we sometimes receive stories from those who were missing for periods

of time and sometimes those stories tell a being misled while trying to find the way

in the woods.

We know already fairies are made of magic and can use it and bend humans at their whim.

When I think of the delightfully mischievous pixie, I can't help but wonder as well if

this isn't the fairy the lost traveler comes upon.

These little troublemakers mislead traveling humans about where they should go next, about

which path to take to find their way to where they're meaning to end up.

This is like a sport for them.

First of the time it's done telepathically or through suggestion, but every once in

a while you will hear the stories of the disnified pixies whispering in a lost traveler's ear.

Be very wary of their charm for nothing they utter ever seems to be the truth.

It's simply how they're made.

Are they working in tandem with other magic or unseen forces or beings in the woods

and forests, helping these others to lure a hapless and unwitting human into their trap?

That's something else to add to the long list of things we may never know.

Well, some of us may find out, but it's doubtful if we do we'll ever be able to speak of

it again.

Remember, pixies are said to be changelies instead of working with another bigger creature.

Could they be the very thing?

Could they play a sick form of manhunt or tag with each other using the humans?

Some wonder if the infamous flannel man is in fact just a shape-shifting pixie.

Throughout the past two videos, we've learned so much about the fey and yet we still haven't

even scratched the surface.

We often wonder why the fairies would ever need a mere human for anything so serious to

keep them longer than the time it takes to get some quick chores done, a very simple interaction.

That is the attraction.

Well, there's a type of fairy that desperately needs humans in order to continue breeding,

to save their own race.

This would be the classic elves.

Now, not Santa's elves, these elves are said to be half human after all, and they

can only go so many generations without a human being donating some DNA to their bloodlines

before they become extinct.

These little beings are endowed with a sense of excellent hearing and sight, and they're

also quite graceful and charming, but don't be fooled with the knowledge of how these

little ones possess a natural offense against any and all dark arts and black magic.

Simply because they possess it, that doesn't mean necessarily that they never use it.

Though I'm sure, just like humans, all form of fey folk, all species, have their good

and bad attitudes.

Another species of fey who are said to have superior physical beauty are the mere people.

This, of course, is depending on who you ask in recent years, humans believe that they

have come to know that these species of half human and half fish would have fangs like

a piranha and no need for hair, even the females.

However, let's suppose, just for a minute, that what most of the research said about these

mere people is in fact accurate.

Let's imagine for a moment that they are aesthetically pleasing and almost too beautiful to look

at directly.

They're quite known to be the ones who lure sailors and semen to their deaths.

The females in chanting beauty is absolutely irresistible to the human man.

These half fish, half human bombshells must do this sometimes to save their own species

as well.

While we are simply speaking of the missing of the woods, I'll move on, but make no mistake

that those sirens are just waiting for some poor fisherman to cross their path.

Think of all the missing who have ended up in the water, and were never captioned on any

cameras going in, and with no eyewitnesses either.

Could it be a form of a mere person that's involved in these abductions?

Of course, it's not the seawater dwelling type, but who knows, perhaps, there are fresh

water versions too, who could ever really know all the possible types of species of any

creature.

It's been said that every year in the Amazon tens of thousands of new species of creatures

that we do know of are found.

What about the species that we don't have any knowledge of?

How many of those are out there?

Even if we can't prove the fabled ones exist, that doesn't mean that they don't.

After all, more people are said to be able to manipulate the sea, who's to say there

is the type which dwells in lakes and regular unsalted bodies of water and does just this

to their unsuspecting victims, taking them as slaves.

We can't say, and we may never be able to either, although, if you look back at some

of your Native American legends, particularly those of the Cherokee, they warn about creatures

and lakes that lure people in to take them.

This next entry may surprise some of you depending on which of the many legends you've heard

of the Banshee, the Irish legend of the Wailing Woman, whose vocal trillings warn of someone

about to meet their demise.

Depending on which tell you're familiar with, the Banshee is either a beautiful enchantress

or a raggedy old hag, regardless of what she looks like.

No household, a member of it can escape her torturous whaling.

When the Banshee comes a calling, her looks aren't going to matter to you.

Not every single species of fairy is inherently mischievous, malevolent or evil.

There are very few exceptions, sure, but exceptions there are.

Take the brownie, for example.

Have you ever wondered about all the people that have survived such rough and exhausting

weeks and months in the deepest, darkest parts of the woods and forests, only to have some

strange story of miraculous survival?

Well, could it be the brownies?

Brownies get their name from their brown skin and hair.

While not visible to ordinary people, only those with the second side are said to be able

to see these little ones, they are able to shape, shift into anything they like.

They are another breed of change, and although they usually take the image of farm or domestic

animals when doing so, they sometimes take on the form of water whoever the person lost

in ill would be most comfortable with.

Even staging the meeting sometimes has a hallucination, putting the human in kind of a dream

state, so as to blur the lines of memory, lest they never discover it was in fact a brownie

who would heal them and nurse them back to health before sending them on their way to safety.

Perhaps even protecting them from the other more mischievous and dangerous type of fake

creatures.

Remember that the legends of the fake come from every culture all around the world.

Is this just a coincidence that every culture, dating almost to the beginning of time,

has had some sort of legend regarding some sort of fairy type?

Probably not, it's probably because they actually do exist, just the sightings of them

are becoming less reported.

In general, the fake folk and their rules are very different from ours, and we will most

likely never be able to know about or even understand all of their little synchronicities.

Even if to more benevolent, even if a little bit mischievous types can cause so much damage

as mentioned above, how about the other more dark and sinister types?

What role could they possibly play in these missing and vanishing events happening all

over the globe these days?

In the wilderness, most times, all of the elements of the earth seem to come together get

remained separate.

The streams and the ponds which feed the soil which grow the plant life which gives life

to the air into humans and sometimes even the inclement weather, or some other force,

causes there to be fire.

Almost all fairies tie themselves to one element in particular, and usually do not travel

outside the bounds of that element.

If they are the type to typically travel in groups, they will do so with members of

their same element.

Let's explore some of the more hurtful and perhaps vengeful types of face species, and

look at their possible roles in what's going on with these disappearances.

Now, there's much talk about alternate dimensions and portals, and perhaps the missing crossing

accidentally into one from another while lost and trying to find their way back.

There's even being led or completely compelled to do so by an outside force, very otherwise.

It's true, fairies usually live close to humans, however their dwelling places are always

distinctly separate and most of the time they're on a plane or in a dimension even right

above or below our human one.

The real change links, as in fairy children which have been swapped for a human child,

are one of the most terrifying types of malevolent bay.

The technology has made it almost impossible for fairies to go around swapping their babies

with humans, it does happen every now and again.

The child, as it grows, will always have trouble fitting in.

Not only will they always be more beautiful than the rest of the children in their age, but

they will also have trouble relating.

This leads to life of constant isolation which can make some of them snap.

Now this could explain a whole other type of human problem in society for the past few

decades or so.

The child murderer, the child who kills.

That's not what we're here to discuss today, but maybe another time, another time indeed.

Devas or devas are tiny fairies which resemble fireflies.

In fact, if you live or are in for whatever reason a wooded area, you're almost certainly

going to come across a deva.

No dang around well cared for plants and to flutter far away from decaying or dying

floor in the wilderness, is this what entices the flower pickers who go missing from time

to time?

Could be.

Aren't these the creatures who either intentionally or otherwise lure the little children into

the woods there to be seen or heard from again?

Now just picture that.

A small child chases fireflies to collect in a jar and keep its light for a few minutes,

and as the deva or the firefly flies away away away.

Till the child roams and follows and follows and follows, till they're inexplicably lost,

maybe never to be seen again, maybe perhaps it can be kept in a fairy child's jar, which

cries can be kept quiet for a while, till the fairy child loses interest, just the same

as the human child does after a while when the fireflies beautiful glow.

The last topic it would do us well to spend just a little more time on in this episode

are the missing children.

Not the ones who return to tell the tales of their grandmother being a robot and taking

them underground, or that a bear kept them warm and fed them berries.

Now, I'm talking about the ones who never return, who left no trace, like little Dennis Martin,

who disappeared seemingly into thin air, right off the face of the earth, out of existence,

or so it seems.

It would be reasonable to assume that the fairies work under concept known as Bindeth Imamah.

This translates to mother's blessing.

Could it be possible that the fairies see themselves this way?

These lesser known fairies who indulge in the nefarious act of actual kidnapping?

At least that's what we as humans call it.

These are the fairies who are usually responsible for the aforementioned changelings.

They have a nasty little habit of taking healthy human babies and leaving their own, not

so healthy, little crumbles, as they're called, in the human child's place.

This is what they call it, the fey, crumbles, meaning the replacements.

Parents of the pill for children have to consult a witch in order to get their offspring back.

Sometimes though, as strange as it may sound, the fey folk actually return the child on

their own, but only after it's been instilled in the child a great love and appreciation

for music.

Think about that.

Well, that wraps it up for this episode.

What do you think about these alternate theories for the missing?

Could it be the work of the fey or some other elemental creatures that we know very little

about and believe only exist in story books?

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this in the comments.

Until we meet again, take care of yourselves and each other.

I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you next time.

Hello friends.

As we've learned from previous videos on this subject, fairies have been around since

the beginning of recorded time, perhaps even earlier.

They play an important role in many cultures, folklore, all around the world.

Some believe they're benevolent and still think of the disney-fied tinkerbell versions

of pixies and sprites as how all fairies are in nature and how they communicate with us

humans.

Others, however, know better and know the truth.

Just as we in this community are starting to learn through this series, fairies or the

fey are portrayed as demons, fallen angels, elementals, nature spirits.

The list goes on and on for each culture's explanation of the fey.

They're known to have all kinds of supernatural powers, and accused of being responsible

for all types of magical and even paranormal activities.

We've gone through some of the types of fey and what we believe their purpose is here

in our realm.

We've talked about how some species enslave humans into what end they do so.

Today we're going to walk through the account of fairy sightings and interactions.

Is there a specific type of person more likely to see them?

Are they more inspired to kidnap and take back to their realm one type of human over

another?

What type of mischief do they cause?

Let's take a look at some fey encounters through the ages and see if we can make some

connections.

Welcome to the missing and the fey, part four.

Believe it or not, there is one place in the United States that has had so many fey encounters

that to those of us who are interested in and researching these topics could possibly give

this place the name the fairy capital of the United States.

What mysterious and unknown woodland were forced am I speaking of here?

Well, neither.

Would you believe Detroit and Michigan?

Now this is not just a couple of sightings by a new age intellectuals trying to push the

fairies are real and can live in urban areas too agenda.

For centuries, there have been reports of gnomes and other species of little people in

the Detroit area.

Some of them date back even before the European settles here.

So basically, before it was even named Detroit, possibly before the state of Michigan even

existed.

Is it something about the land there?

Did the settlers intrude on some magical place where the veil between our world and theirs

is so much more thin?

Let's look at some of these fey encounters and see if we can figure it out.

The origins of our first story lie within the Ottawa tribe.

These are the natives who were living on the land before the English and French settlers

came in and took it over.

This particular encounter tells of the red dwarf as the natives called him.

These little people are just as mischievous as their brother and sister species and can

be just as mean an evil.

However, and it's interesting, as it always is when dealing with a fey, that this particular

type of fey are the protectors of the land and the caretakers of the earth.

Extremely powerful nature spirits who are most likely provoked by a colonization of any

sort that doesn't recognize the fey and respect the land itself.

When the French settlers came into that area, they brought with them their own legends

of the fey.

There's recalled Luton, which actually have their origins in Nordic folklore.

However, the French seem to believe very much in these devious little tricksters who

went about playing pranks on the settlers and anyone they could get a good shot at.

They dislike humans and even displayed at times some behaviors which we would consider

to be similar to the effects of having a poltergeist or noisy spirit in our home.

So suffice to say, these fey used their magic and enjoyed doing so.

They are very mean-spirited and sometimes even downright evil.

So as the French colonized the land they're where Detroit is now and mixed with the natives,

these two legends ended up combining.

The Europeans came in and with their own legends of the fey, which were the these creatures

were more than merely mysterious forest entities who played mean-spirited pranks, but rather

malevolent arbiters of doom, chaos and destruction.

The founder of Detroit, Antoine de la Moth Cadillac, on March 10, 1701, decided to throw

a party.

During the party, as he was greeting his guests, he noticed some people he didn't invite

and who definitely weren't dressed for the occasion.

One was a woman who looked more like a fortune teller and had a cat on her shoulder.

She immediately took his bomb and told him that while he was destined to start a great

city, it would be a place of much violence and bloodshed for ages to come.

The old hag also gave a warning to Deer Antoine.

He homage to and heed the red dwarfs and do not or any reason upset him.

He went on to explain that to do so would be his downfall.

Antoine, being a modern man for his age, didn't believe in such things as fortune tellers,

palm readings and fake creatures and laughed at the woman and kicked her out of his party.

He had her removed quite violently in fact and went on about his days without giving

even a second thought to her warning about not upsetting the fey, who were already

inhabiting the area he was trying to colonize and turned into the greatest settlement

to New World it seemed so far.

One night Antoine decided to take one of his missions for a walk around his new city.

As the couple were walking, they overheard some of the settlers talking amongst themselves

and soft to ease drop.

The group were talking about how they had seen Le Petit Ne Rouge or the Little Red Dwarfs

and that they felt the city was now doomed to fail in falter.

Once again Antoine's scoffed and was even amused by the stories which were growing

by the day with the people settling the colony catching sight of these little people

who were pay folk as we have come to collect and we call and know them.

Not long after this event however, Antoine Cadillac himself had his own encounter with

what he described as a deformed dwarf-like creature covered in blackish red fur and

possessing B.D. eyes.

The creature's face was fierce and its eyes piercing in blood red.

It had crooked and disgusting teeth when it looked at him and sneered.

He took a club that was standing nearby and bashed the creature about the head but it

just laughed and ran off.

He allegedly had this particular encounter in his own grand home.

After this, so the legend has it, Antoine de Le Moth Cadillac lost everything.

He died alone and penniless, a ruined man.

The city, named after him, left with a kind of strange curse.

Just as the old hag fortune teller had predicted.

Would Detroit be the same today if he had simply heated her warning and given respect to

the red dwarves?

While we'll never know, but it is said that they still roam around the city to this very

day and signings haven't become more scarce since the 1700s when Antoine had first envisioned

the settlement.

These self-same creatures, or perhaps one of the same species anyway who look exactly

the same, were seen that same year repeatedly by a farmer in the area.

Farmer leds it to thing with period in his windows at night, terrifies his family, and would

also stalk him as he pod his fields and tended to his animals.

Likewise, his family and young children especially weren't immune to the creature's torment.

On July 23rd, 1763, 200 British troops had amassed on the outskirts of the city to

surprise a group of native rebels who had defied the post-war policies the British had

put into place for the settlers and Native Americans in the area like.

This apparently made them the enemy and the troops were prepared to surprise attack them

during the night while they were unguarded and asleep.

This was during the insurgent uprising which is known to this day as Pontiac's War.

This was of course named for the fierce leader of the Ottawa Tribe, Chief Pontiac.

The war that this led to was extremely violent, with the armies on each side killing and

attacking essence of aliens on the streets and in the villages.

Piliging homes and slaughtering women, infants, and children who had nothing to do with anything

and no rights to do with anything even if they wanted to.

It was total chaos and bloodshed and the red dwarfs didn't go without noticing all that

blood being spilled on their sacred land.

They were seen by hundreds of people during this time, soldiers and Native Americans alike.

They responded sitting on the banks of a nearby creek where the bloody battle took place.

This creek, which ran so red with blood, it was still to this day known as Bloody Run

and the little red dwarfs were dancing and celebrating.

They were literally laughing and shouting with glee, not rooting for one side or the other,

mind you, just reveling in the death and carnage of the war before them.

Their demeanor was described as elated and joyous.

They were even witnessed dancing amongst the corpses of the dead and swimming in the bloody

creek.

These little evil creatures were celebrating the bloodshed.

Flashed forward now during the Great Detroit Fire of 1805, which burned most of the city

to the ground, the red dwarfs were cited by hundreds of witnesses at that time too.

In the days leading up to the fire, they were seen by many witnesses throughout the city,

most of whom didn't even know what they were seeing.

By the time the 1800s rolled around, most people had forgotten about the city's founder

in the morning of the old hag fortune teller.

While the disastrous fire was still blazing and people were dying left and right all

around, witnesses reported saying, evil little red men dancing around in the flames and

on top of the charred corpses.

They were seen in the aftermath of the war of 1812 and all the way up in modern times,

including the race rides in the 1960s and the extreme desolation and abandoned buildings

that occupied Detroit to this day.

Now, let's move out of the motor city and into some more desolate areas of the world

and see what other encounters and species we can uncover and perhaps learn a bit about.

In case the need should ever rise that we need to be knowledgeable about the fae and perhaps

what to do should we come upon one or several.

We should already know that there are thousands of species and hundreds of realms.

When a person is kidnapped by a ferry, their fate depends on so many things.

We always talk in these videos about the missing in the woods and the phase responsibility

for such abductions and even the deaths of the missing in question.

But what about the people who have come back that survived?

What are their stories like?

What do they remember if anything about where they were and maybe even why?

What happens when the missing end up deceased and people suspect a fae to be the culprit?

How do you explain that to the police?

In 1909 a woman in Ireland named Annie McIntyre was abducted by ferries, allegedly, and had

quite a story to tell.

She was said to have been born on Halloween in 1839 which makes her more prone to being

able to see and possibly interact with many supernatural realms including those of the

fae folk.

She is said to have had a lifelong obsession with but an immense respect for the fae.

She claims this is because on the night of her birth she was abducted by the fae and

had it not been for her brother happening upon the celebrations she would have most certainly

become one of them.

No changeling was left behind and though no one is sure why she was left alone on the

night of her birth to be stolen, here's what she claimed until the day she died.

On that night of Halloween in 1839 Ferries crept into her home mere minutes after she was born

and stole away with her, wrapped in her bed clothes and a small sheet her mother had

made for her.

As the ferries were bringing her to the nearest circle or portal to one of their realms,

they were celebrating, dancing and singing under the moonlight, they were cheering that

they had gotten away without being seen and the couple who were the ones who would be

raising the child were being hoisted on the other little people's backs.

It was a grand celebration while they moved towards the portal, however Annie's brother

was coming back from a friend's house walking through the woods and heard the commotion.

The flutes and music being played and celebrations happening in the woods right behind his house.

He went to investigate and claims he saw dozens of little people carrying off his infant

sister who he knew had just been born that very day.

Allegedly he took his Bible which he just happened to be carrying and tossed it right into

the group of ferries.

They immediately set the infant down and scattered, most of them simply disappearing in the thin

air.

He skipped his baby sister up into his arms and brought her back to the family home.

Annie's mother and family were so overjoyed with her return that they had a huge celebration

themselves and dogged over her, so much as she was almost lost to them forever.

There were many precautions set into place that night in that village which have lived

on throughout the centuries to assure that babies would no longer be so easily swept

up and taken by ferries in the night.

Iron bars being hung above the crib.

The crib itself being made entirely of iron.

Getting the infant's night clothes to the pillow or mattress of the crib, sprinkling

the child with holy water before bed and throughout the day if they should be left alone for

even a second.

There were so many ways thought of to protect the infants and children back then from

a fair abduction.

Now these precautions didn't always work though, but for the most part they did or at least

they seemed to.

Maybe it would be wise for those of us in modern times who believe in and have respect

for such things to take notice of and heed the warnings and advice of preventative measures.

Instead though, we buy cute little kids to build their own fairy gardens and sit elf

totems on a shelf at Christmas time which, on the nose to most people, only provokes the

elemental spirits and advice them into your home to do you even more harm.

Aside from the brownie species of the fae, we have yet to find another who is inherently

good and not known for any evil intentions or ill will toward the human race who has

plowed down their homes in the forest and disrespected them by portraying them as goofy little

scantily glad women, flying around sprinkling magic into little kid's eyes, just to play

with them more men just todays and seduce them.

Maybe we should give them more credit and be more wise in their ways.

Then maybe they'll stop abducting not only our children, but our hunters, our campers,

our hikers, our sightseers, for the beautiful and majestic lands and national parks and

national forests that the fae folk guard so tightly and try so hard to keep us from destroying.

Well, there you have it folks.

What do you think about these fae people?

I know many people that readily believe in UFOs and Bigfoot will kind of giggle at you

if you mention the fae, but if you look deep enough into the fae, you'll find that Bigfoot

type elementals and men from the stars and flying vehicles are also told in fae encounters

as well centuries ago.

I looked forward to reading your comments, but please keep it friendly and respect each

other's opinions.

Meanwhile, we could do sales and each other, I'll see you just a little farther on down

the trail.

I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.

Hello friends, welcome to our latest episode.

In this video, we bring you mysteries of New England.

Known for its quaint small towns, colonial roots, crisp autumn colors, almost 15 million

New Englanders call this region home.

Though full of natural wonder and extraordinary beauty, New England is no stranger to the unexplained

and has some incredibly dark secrets in its illustrious past.

New Englanders are fascinated by unsolved cases that engage them emotionally and play on

their fears.

From the unsolved Lizzy Board Nax murders to the disappearance and murder of TNH Lifeguard

Molly Bish.

In this video, we'll examine 10 of New England's most prolific and unexplained mysteries,

and disappearances.

Join me.

Let's walk and see.

The murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, aka the Lizzy Board Nax murders.

On a hot summer morning in August of 1892, one of the most infamous mysteries of murder

cases in American history occurred in Fall River, Massachusetts when 70-year-old Andrew

Borden and his wife, Abby, were murdered by an axe in their home.

As then 32-year-old daughter Lizzy reportedly found her father's body after returning home

from morning errands.

The family's maid, Bridget Sullivan, discovered Abby's body in the second floor guestroom.

Though generally reviewed as a reputable community member, Lizzy was deemed a suspect in the

double homicide and her trial began on June 5, 1893.

Prosecutors alleged she tried to purchase poison the day before the murders and burned

one of her dresses several days later.

Fingerprint testing was common in Europe at the time, but the Fall River Police were skeptical

of its accuracy and never tested for prints on a hatchet found in the Borden's basement.

The fact that no blood was found on Lizzy helped convince the all-male jury that she was

incapable of the gruesome crime and she was acquitted on June 20, 1893.

Some speculating that the killer was Andrew Borden's illegitimate son William Borden,

who snapped after Andrew failed to submit to his extortion demands regarding finances.

However, no other suspects were ever charged with the murders and Lizzy succumbed to pneumonia

and Fall River on June 1, 1927.

The Borden family home has since been transformed into the Lizzy Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum,

which continues to attract visitors to this day.

Located at Tim 30's Second Street, visitors at the Bed and Breakfast Report doors opening

and closing on their own, along with a mysterious floral scent that some attribute to the Borden's

restless spirits.

Next we have the kidnapping and murder of Holly Paranon.

On August 5, 1993, 10-year-old Holly Paranon returned to her grandparents' rural summer

cottage on South Pond in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, where she was vacationing with her family.

Holly spent the morning swimming with her father and two brothers.

After returning to the cottage, Holly and her five-year-old brother, Zach, walked a few

hundred yards to the fence at the back of a neighbor's yard to visit a litter of

collie puppies, Zach returned without Holly a short time later.

The family looked for Holly, but only one of her sneakers was found near the roadway.

A massive search was launched, but sadly, 73 days later, on October 23, 1993, Holly's

remains were found in a wooded area near Five Bridge Road in Brimfield, Massachusetts.

Now while there's no shortage of persons of interest, Holly's killer has never been

found.

In 2023, the District Attorney's Office announced a slight breakthrough after a tank top was

located at the crime scene, and the public was asked to help identify where the shirt

came from or who it belonged to.

Anyone with any information on the disappearance and murder of Holly is asked to call the Massachusetts

State Police Detective Unit at 413-505-5993 or text a tip to crimes that's 274-637 and

type, Solve, Holly, Paranon, and your tip in the message.

Now we have the kidnapping and murder of Molly Bish.

On June 27, 2016, Molly Bish, a worn Massachusetts, who vanished just a day after she started working

as a lifeguard at a pond in her hometown.

The search to find her became the most extensive search for a missing person in Massachusetts

history.

Molly's story would later become the focus of a 2002 feature by Mel Allen and editor

Frianki Magazine.

At the time of the article, Molly's parents still had hopes that their daughter was alive.

Sadly, Molly's remains were recovered just five miles from her home the following year.

The party or parties responsible have never been found, making Molly's case one of New England's

most frustrating unsolved mysteries.

Massachusetts State Police encourage anyone with information on Molly's case to call their

anonymous tip line at 508-553-7575.

Next, the Smuddy Knows Murders.

On March 6, 1873, Karen Christensen and her sister-in-law, Annathay, were brutally murdered

by an axe after midnight on the island of Smuddy Knows located off the ports with New

Hampshire coast.

Karen's sister, Maren Hauntweb, survived the attack and testified in the trial against

the accused killer Lewis Wagner.

Wagner, a drifter, was once a border at their Smuddy Knows' house.

Maren's accounts of the attack horrified and fascinated the nation.

Wagner was convicted and hanged at the main state prison in Thomaston on June 25, 1875.

Whether Wagner was actually responsible for the murders has been up for debate since

his arrest and subsequent hanging.

In March 1980, Yankee Magazine published a story about the gruesome crime which sparked

a letter from Elmoral Burke, an associate professor at the University of Southern Maine.

Burke concluded, quote, the blood on Wagner's clothes was likely fish blood, in quote.

The real culprit, in his analysis, was Maren Hauntweb.

Professor Burke claimed that the wounds on the two victims were radically placed, superficial

and inflicted by a quote, feminine arm rather than a man who could grow the 12 miles

to Smuddy Knows in a dory, in quote.

Burke went on to say, not only did Maren survive the attack, but she was completely unengineered.

Others speculate Maren's husband, John, is the killer.

The Smuddy Knows murders remain one of New England's most puzzling mysteries.

The Burke's share UFO incident, also known as the Great Baring to New F.O. Siding, is

one of American history's most famous UFO sightings.

It occurred on the night of September 1, 1969, and the small town of Schaffel, Massachusetts,

located in the Burke's share mountains.

The incident began when a 36-year-old farmer named Tom Marie drove home from a family gathering

with his mother, brother, and two friends.

As they drove along a deserted road, they saw a bright light in the sky, the same to follow

them.

The light grew larger and brighter until it was directly over their car.

Suddenly, the car seemed installed, and they heard a loud pulsating sound.

The next thing they knew, they were sitting in the car on the side of the road, about

300 feet from where they had been previously.

They all had strange, unexplainable injuries, and a sense of confusion and disorientation.

Tom Marie later reported that he had a triangular burn mark on his neck, while his mother had

a similar pattern on her wrist.

The group returned home and reported the incident to the local police.

The story quickly made headlines, and soon other witnesses came forward, with their

accounts of strange lights in the sky that night.

The most compelling testimony came from a local radio station employee who claimed they

have seen a large, metallic craft hovering over the town.

The incident gained national attention, and even the United States Air Force got involved.

They sent investigators to the scene and conducted a thorough investigation, which included

interviews with eyewitnesses at an analysis of the physical evidence.

However, the report concluded that there was no evidence to support the existence of

a UFO, and that the incident was likely due to, quote, natural phenomena, end quote.

Despite the Air Force's conclusion, many believe the Berkshire UFO incident was an extraterrestrial

encounter.

Numerous books, articles, and documentaries have been written and filmed in the years

since the incident, and it has become a staple of UFO lore.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Berkshire UFO incident is the number of witnesses

who came forward.

While the original group consisted of only five people, more than 40 others reported

saying strange lights in the sky that night.

Many of these witnesses were highly respected members of the community, including police

officers, firefighters, and government officials.

Another puzzling aspect of this incident is the physical evidence.

The triangular burn marks on Tom Reed's neck and his mother's wrist are challenging

to explain, and some have suggested that they are evidence of alien abduction.

The fact that the car's engine stalled in the group's sense and sense of disorientation

is also consistent with other UFO encounters.

The Berkshire UFO incident is one of American history's most intriguing sightings.

While the Air Force investigation concluded that there was no evidence to support the existence

of a UFO, many people remain convinced that the incident was an actual extraterrestrial

encounter.

The number of witnesses and the physical evidence make the incident challenging to dismiss.

And now, frozen to death.

Another of New England's most unusual unsolved mysteries was chronicle by former Yankee

editor-in-chief Judson Hale, who recounted the tale in his 1982 book Inside New England.

In 1939, Dr. Temple S. Faye of Philadelphia, who experimented with freezing human organs,

gave a lecture in Providence, Rhode Island, in which he related a grotesque story he believed

to be valid.

Hale said the incident occurred just outside Montpelier, Vermont, around 1900.

Dr. Faye read from an old diary kept by his late uncle, Williams.

Williams visited a remote community outside Montpelier on January 7th and found all the

community's elders lying on a cabin floor, drugged and unconscious.

Williams describes how the elders were nude except for a single garment, carried outside

in the bitter cold air and placed on logs.

The elders continued, quote, and the full moon, occasionally obscured by flying clouds,

shown on their upturned ghastly faces, and a horrible fascination kept me by the bodies

as long as I could endure the severe cold.

Soon the noses, ears and fingers began to turn white, then the limbs and faces assumed

a tallow look.

I could stand the cold no longer and went inside, where I found the friends in cheerful conversation.

And about an hour I went out and looked at the bodies.

They were fast freezing, in quote.

Faye continued, quote, the next day the bodies were covered with straw, placed in layers

in a huge wooden closure to protect them from animals, and left there, in quote.

The following may, all the frozen elders were brought inside in place in tubs of warm

water with himlock, until they revived, after which they went about their business

refreshed by their long sleep of four months.

One actually occurred in Montpelier that winter remains a mystery.

That brings us to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist.

On March 18, 1990, two men posing as police officers responding to a disturbance call entered

the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts.

Ultimately, this was only a scheme to swipe valuable works of art.

The suspects tied up the guards and stole 13 pieces of art valued at more than $500

including works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas and Manet.

It is the most significant theft of private property in terms of sheer value in history.

It is speculated that the robbery was the work of a criminal organization, but no arrests

have ever been made.

The Gardner Museum continues to offer a monetary reward for information leading to the recovery

of the art and the spaces in the museum where the paintings once hung remain empty.

Next, the strange disappearance of Brittany T.

On January 10, 2023, 35-year-old Brittany T. vanished after leaving the Brookfield, Massachusetts

home she shared with a boyfriend.

Brittany's vehicle reported it was not working and she left on foot on one of the coldest nights

of the year.

Brittany's loved ones say it's unlikely to disappear without making contact.

She was reported missing by her family a few days later, prompting an immediate search

of the area.

The case had a heavy social media presence from the beginning and a Facebook group keeps

the public notified of any updates.

Local woods, backyards, park cars and parks such as Lewis Field near where Brittany was

last seen were searched.

Among those interviewed were Brittany's boyfriend who was described as cooperative.

Authorities said there is no evidence a crime was committed and no suspects have been named.

Brittany T. is five foot six inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes and was last

seen wearing a black winter coat, hoodie, jeans and work boots.

As previously mentioned, temperatures were near record lows when Brittany went missing.

Anyone with any information on Brittany's disappearance or whereabouts is asked to call the dedicated

tip line at 508-453-7589.

Next, the Betty and Barney Hill incident.

Now there have been numerous UFO sightings since the first reported one in 1947.

One of the most notable is that of Betty and Barney Hill.

An American couple who became famous in the 1960s were climbing to be abducted by extraterrestrial

beings.

The hills were driving back to their ports with New Hampshire home on September 19, 1961,

after vacationing in Canada.

While driving to the White Mountains, they noticed a bright light in the sky that seemed to

follow them. At first, they thought it was a shooting star, but it soon became apparent

that it was something else entirely.

As they continued to drive, the light grew closer and brighter and eventually they could

see that it was a large, disc-shaped object that appeared to be hovering above the tree

tops and was utterly silent. Barney stopped the car and they got out to look closer.

According to their later accounts, the hills saw several humanoid creatures looking

at it from the craft's windows. These beings were described as about five feet tall with

gray skin and large wraparound eyes. They were wearing black uniforms and seemed to

be communicating with each other in a language that the hills could not understand.

Terrified, the hills fled to their car and left as fast as possible.

They began to experience strange sensations, including a tingling sensation in their bodies

and a buzzing sound in their ears. They claimed the car was vibrating and the steering

coil was becoming difficult to control. The hills realized that they could not account

for two hours when they returned home. They also noticed physical evidence that something

unusual had happened to them. Betty's dress was torn, the lining was ripped out,

and Barney's shoes were scraped and sculpted in a way that suggested he had been dragged.

Over the next few days, the hills began to experience strange dreams and nightmares.

Betty dreamed of being taking aboard the craft and subjected to a medical examination,

while Barney dreamed of being interrogated by these beings. These dreams and nightmares

continued for several weeks, and the hills became increasingly convinced that aliens had abducted them.

Eventually, they sought to help with a local psychiatrist named Dr. Benjamin Simon.

Under hypnosis, Betty and Barney recounted their experiences in great detail,

including their encounters with the beings and the medical procedures performed on them.

According to Betty, the beings had shown her a map depicting a series of interconnected lines

and dots representing various stars and star systems. She would later draw the star map for Dr. Simon.

The hills' story became the subject of much debate and controversy in the following years.

Skeptics argued that the hills' experiences could be explained by sleep paralysis or

other psychological phenomena while believers saw their story as proof of alien visitation.

Despite the controversy, the hills' story has remained one of history's most well-known

and influential cases of UFO abduction. It has inspired countless books, movies and TV shows,

and continues to fascinate and intrigue people worldwide.

And finally, we have the disappearance of Kathy Moulton.

On September 24, 1971, 16-year-old Kathy Marie Moulton disappeared after school

in the downtown area Portland, Maine, after being dropped off by her father to go shopping.

Kathy was supposed to take her bus home for dinner and then attend a dance at the YWCA

with friends later that night, but she never returned.

Her father, Roy, drove around the city looking for her, while her mother Claire called neighbors and friends

to see if anyone had seen Kathy.

The search for Kathy was marked by frustration.

Investigators seemingly failed to investigate why she'd gone missing and witnesses were unwilling

to explain what happened.

Retired Portland detective, Kevin Katie, who worked on the case in the 1990s said, quote,

this wasn't in the press. This wasn't a big talk about thing like you might meet today

with social media. It certainly would have gotten a lot more fanfare now, end quote.

The attitudes of the era were that she was probably just rebelling or protesting around

off with her boyfriend if he got drafted. It was not taken with the seriousness that it was

to her family, said Kim Higgins, Kathy's younger sister.

In the years since Kathy's disappearance, detectives painstakingly pieced together her movements

on that fateful day.

They theorized she was taken from Portland against her will by an older boyfriend and his acquaintance.

She was prevented from leaving while working on a potato farm in a rustic county,

then died on a malice seat to be first nation's reservation in New Brunswick.

The Molten has never stopped talking about Kathy and pushing the police to do more.

Roy Molten died at age 92 in 2017 without ever knowing what happened to his daughter.

Kathy's body has never been recovered, and no official suspects have been named to the case.

This remains one of the oldest active missing person cases in Maine and the United States.

Kathy was last seen wearing a Navy short sleeve wool dress, a Navy double breasted box coat

with brass buttons, and carried only her brown leather bag.

She had had two ITs removed prior to getting braces.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Kathy Molten, please contact

the Portland Police Department at 207-874-8479.

Well friends, there you have it. What do you think of these strange unsolved mysteries from New England?

I look forward to your comments, but please keep it friendly and respectful.

Until we meet again, be good to yourselves and each other.

I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll see you a little further on down the trail.

Until your animals, Steve says aye.

confirmed for these belong to Chants and DNA testing is currently underway.

In a Facebook post on November 2nd 2021, Chants Mother Dawn wrote,

we'd like to take a moment to thank you all for prayers, calls and messages.

We're aware of the news releases of remains found in Scotts Bluff County and have

talked with officials. Until the DNA is released, there's not a hundred percent

answer. It depends on the lab's workload and it could take weeks for those

answers. So for now, please give our family a little extra prayers. Thank you.

Time will tell whether these remains belong to Chants or where the family will have to keep

on fighting for answers. 25-year-old Chase Inglebird was last seen on the 700 block of O-street in

Gary Nebraska. According to reports, he was either walking southbound or north with his final

destination being Torrington Wyoming. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes.

He has a scar on his hip and is 5'11", 195 pounds. Chants was last seen wearing a

short sleeve button down Wrangler shirt, blue Wrangler jeans, a belt with an N-R-C-A buckle,

Roper boots, and a black and white trucker hat. If you have any information,

you're urged to contact the Garing Police Department on 308-436-5088.

Number four, Sonny Schromick. A teen-year-old Sonny Schromick left her home in Trenton, Nebraska

on April 20, 2019 and told her mother, Paula Johnson, that she was going on a road trip with

a male acquaintance. This person was not named in publications. However, a member of Sonny's family

named him is 42-year-old Floyd Clifford Coates, who goes by Cliff. The nature of their relationship

is currently unknown. Sonny is married, however. The identity of Sonny's husband has been withheld

from the public and her parents have not discussed this detail at length. One article notes,

her parents say she married young, believing it was a good choice, but went through more growing

and trying to do things right, so it was currently living with her mother, Paula, to sort things out.

Paula watched her daughter get into the 2004 White Ford Explorer with Iowa license plate

HDJ-341 and then watches her daughter in the unknown man drove away. Little did Paula know that

this would be the last time she would ever see her daughter, who she described as bright and artistic.

At around 1pm on April 20, 2019, Sonny called her mom, Paula, to let her know that everything

was going well and that they were possibly headed for Omaha, Nebraska. The pair talked and Sonny

told Paula that she was in a hold-wrench in Nebraska and that everything was good. A KSMB

local article states that Sonny had called using a borrowed phone because she'd left hers at

home before embarking on the trip. On the evening of April 20, 2019, Paula received her horrific

phone call. On the other end of the line was Cliff Coates, who said that he had gone into the

prairie fire casino in Carter, like Iowa and that when he stepped outside, Sonny was gone.

NBC reported that Paula had written on the GoFundMe page that he said he had looked for,

couldn't find her, so he left. He left the area without Sonny, no call to police, no nothing.

At one point his story changed. They stopped at a gas station in Omaha and he went in to pay for

the gas. When he returned to the vehicle, Sonny was gone. On April 21, 2019, when Sonny had still

failed to make contact with her parents, Paula and Jodie, she was officially reported missing

and an investigation was open. An extensive search in Nebraska and Iowa took place, but there was no

sign of Sonny. Because she was 18, she was too old for an amber alert, but the authorities still

did the best they could to publicize Sonny's case. Hours turned to days and Sonny's family became

more and more desperate as each hour passed. Soon after she was reported missing, the FBI became

involved in Sonny's case and are now asking for anyone with information to please come forward.

Sonny's family are also heavily involved in the search for their missing loved one. Her cousin,

Rene Blom, created the Find Sonny Shremic Facebook page and regularly hands out flyers and leaflets

across Nebraska. Interestingly enough, Cliff Coates has an extensive criminal history and this is

something that we couldn't pass up on mentioning. Heavy.com wrote an article about Sonny's case and

managed to dig up all of Cliff's prior convictions. Turns out that he has a criminal record in Kansas,

Iowa and Nebraska. In Kansas, he was charged for drug offenses and attempting to evade police.

His prison record isn't squeaky clean either, having 25 write-ups for battery, lying, disrespect

of an officer, disobeying orders and having sexually explicit material. Cliff's criminal history

doesn't stop there. In Nebraska, he was convicted of false imprisonment, distribution of

methamphetamine, possession of a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon,

assaults by confined person, left by receiving stolen property and possession of marijuana.

On June 10th, 2019, Rene Blom posted again to the Facebook page, Find Sonny Shremic,

saying, I have a little info to share from my aunt. Here's the update. Coates was arrested

recently but was bonded soon after. I'm hoping that they can learn something with anything from him,

at least he was found. I'm sharing this so y'all are aware, but as far as what happened prior to

this or what he was arrested for, that is not being shared by the family. Investigators haven't

publicly named Cliff as a suspect in Sonny's case, and despite all these leads and all this

information, her case has sadly gone cold. Sonny's family are desperately seeking answers for what

happened to her. She was in the process of finishing high school and it's extremely out of character

for her to just have wandered off. Sonny's described his white female with brown hair and blue eyes.

She's five foot seven inches tall, a hundred and eighty pounds, and has numerous distinguishing

features which are as follows. Sonny has a tattoo on her left shoulder of a feather with letters

FLY, a tattoo of a red tribal son on her right ankle. She also has a rectangular scar in the back

of a right shoulder, a small square shaped scar in the middle of her upper forehead,

scarring on one of her ankles and chin, scar some chicken pox on her face, a scar on her left hand

at the bottom of her thumb and first finger, and assorted cuts on her arm. Sonny was last seen

wearing denim shorts and a black vest top, but her mother Paul had told investigators that she

was carrying a pair of jeans in a hoodie when she went missing. If you have any information,

you're urged to please contact the FBI's Omaha Division Field Office on 402-493-8688.

Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact in Nebraska State Crime Stoppers

on 1-800-422-1494.

Number three, Matthew Weaver, Jr. 21-year-old Matthew Weaver, Jr. was in a transitional

period in his life. He just moved into his own apartment in Grenada Hills, California to be

closer to his job, and he had recently broken up with his long-term girlfriend.

The breakup affected Matthew, but as he had moved to a new area, he slowly began building up

a new circle of friends that was back out there partying and hanging out.

On August 9, 2018, Matthew spent the day working before going to hang out with a new female

friend that he had made. According to his father, Matthew Weaver, Sr., Matthew, Jr. appeared excited

at the prospect of hanging out with his new friend and said that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

According to NBC, the pair hung out until the early morning hours of August 10th,

with Matthew, Jr. dropping the woman off at her place around 4.30 am.

From there, Matthew, Jr. sent a text to his friend saying,

something crazy has happened. Also adding, I want to talk while I have the chance.

Matthew, Jr. also sent text to his ex-step mother, Brooke.

The two remain close friends even when Matthew, Jr.'s father, and she divorced as she had raised him

from a young age. Brooke claims that some of the text were jumbled and didn't make much sense at all.

At around 11.30 am, Matthew, Jr. then caused the woman he was hanging out with the night before,

but she doesn't answer because she's at work. She texts him asking what's wrong and telling him

that she's unable to answer right now. Matthew never replied to the text from Brooke or the

unknown woman, and since then, he has mysteriously fallen off the map. Brooke told NBC that Matthew's

phone is still linked to his ex-girlfriend's account, so they were able to retrieve phone records

relatively quickly. These records showed that Matthew, Jr.'s location at the time of sending those

texts was the Lost Rose's Overlook near Stunt and Saddle Peak Roads in the Santa Monica Mountains

National Recreation Area. This was later confirmed when CCTV cameras in the area captured Matthew

Jr.'s BMW driving along the road to Lost Rose's Overlook. When Brooke hadn't received reply from

her stepson, she began to worry. She began calling all these friends to see if they had heard from

him, but to her horror, no one had. Unbeknownst to Brooke and Matthew's senior, the California Highway

Patrol discovered Matthew Jr.'s car abandoned on the Topanga Tower motorway close to the

Lost Rose's Overlook. They chased the car's registration and found that it belonged to Matthew

Weaver, Jr. After speaking with his family, they realized that he had not made contact with him since

August 11th. Subsequently, a missing person report was filed, and Matthew Weaver, Jr. was officially

listed as a missing person. Multiple searches have been conducted by multiple agencies, but no

trace of Matthew has ever been found. Brooke told NBC, there is no way that kid just fell off the

grid and disappeared. For me, that's not possible. I'm super close with Matthew. He tells me everything.

He calls me anytime he's in a bind. He would never let his little sibling sit there and think he

might be dead. Then in January 2019, hikers discovered Matthew Jr.'s car keys just 25 meters from

where his car had been discovered. It's unknown for these keys to Rover Look during the

initial search, or whether they had been intentionally placed there at a later date.

While outconducting his own search for his son, Matthew's senior discovered shreds of a white

t-shirt that he believes his son was wearing on the day disappeared. A red Los Angeles Angels hat

was also found, which Matthew's senior also said along to his son. The Los Angeles Police

Department's missing person's unit has since taken over Matthew's case. Matthew Weaver Jr. is

described as a light meal with brown hair and brown eyes. He's five foot nine inches tall and weighs

165 pounds. Matthew Jr. has a tattoo of the name Jeremiah on the left side of his chest.

Some of Matthew Jr.'s friends say that he sustained a head injury in the days before his

disappearance, and then he may be concussed or have other behavior issues arriving from this.

Matthew Jr. was last seen wearing a plain black or white t-shirt, black dickies pants,

red shoes, and a Los Angeles Angels baseball cap. If you have any information,

you're urged to please contact the Los Angeles Police Department's missing persons unit

on 213-996-1800. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can leave a tip with an LA regional

crime stoppers on 1-800-222 tips. Number two, Erica Thompson. 53-year-old Erica Thompson

had recently broken up from a two-year relationship. It was now living along with her cats in a

Brookfield Illinois home. Erica's sister Dana said that the pair are regularly kept in contact

with each other, and then Erica always kept in contact with their family. So when Erica

failed to show up for work on September 26th, 2019, her court workers noted that it was

extremely out of character. Dana recalled that she had last spoken with her sister via email

on September 23rd, 2019. Erica was captured on CCTV on September 25th, 2019, making a deposit

at a bank. She has not been seen or heard from since. Days passed and Erica's family became

more and more concerned when she didn't contact. Finally, on October 1st, 2019, Erica's son,

Michael Russo, went to her Brookfield Illinois home to see what was going on.

Some reports state that Michael entered the house while others state that the Brookfield

Police Department were the ones who actually entered the home. Whoever entered the home found

the back door was open and that the air conditioning was running full blast. There were dirty,

moldy dishes in the sink and cat vomit all over the house, something that Erica would never

have tolerated. Her sister Dana told Dateline, it was caused for concern because my sister would

never have left a mess. She would have washed her dishes and taken care of her cats. Investigators

also found interestingly enough that recent CCTV footage from Erica's home security cameras

had been deleted, only adding to their suspicions. Erica's phone, bag, driver's license,

house keys and car keys, along with her 2014 dark purple Nissan Juke, Illinois's plate E273380,

were missing from the home, but her cats had been left behind. It's been said that Erica

absolutely cherished her cats and if she'd planned on leaving, she would have taken them with her.

traveled through Brookfield, Decatur and Mount Vermont on September 26, 2019. In addition to this,

the phone had also pinged in countryside, Hodgkin's McCook, Forest View, Summit and Ritzview.

On October 2, 2019, her phone was found dumped in a ditch in Springfield, Missouri.

Some 502 miles away from her home in Brookfield, Illinois. Her sister, Dana, wrote a Facebook

1. Glenda Peterson

The details of Glenda Peterson's 1997 disappearance are few and far between,

and with the passage of time those details become harder and harder to come by.

On July 4, 1997, 40-year-old Glenda Jean Peterson spent today celebrating at Lake Thunderbird

in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with her 16-year-old daughter.

Glenda had just been through a rough divorce from her husband of 15 years,

and she was doing everything she could to make the 4th of July a fun family day for her daughter.

At the time, Glenda had a right leg and a cast due to a break but didn't let her injury dampen

her spirits. Glenda and her daughters spent today together before accepting a right home from

a man that they had met that day. Witnesses corroborated this story saying that they saw the

fair get into the man's dark colored pickup truck and drive away. Witnesses described the man as

being white, in his 40s, 6-feet tall 180 pounds with brown hair and a mustache.

Then somewhere along Highway 9, the unknown man pulled over at Glenda's request.

Glenda handed her bag to her daughter, not out of the car and was never seen or heard from again.

This is about as much information as we have in Glenda's case,

Glenda's niece Brandy told Dateline. Did she know she was in danger so she just wanted to

keep her daughter safe? There are so many holes in the story we just don't know. Glenda's mysterious

disappearance of one of those cases where we are simply left with more questions than answers.

Multiple searches have been conducted by the Norman Police Department and cadaver dogs were

even called in but nothing has ever been found. Each year, Glenda's children watch other

families celebrating July 4th, hoping and praying that one day their mother will come home so they

can do the same once again. Glenda Jean Peterson was last seen on the side Highway 9 on July 4th,

1997. She is described as a white female with black hair and brown eyes, although the photographs

provided over shore with blonde hair. Glenda has a tattoo of the letter G on her left forearm,

a letter B on her left hand, an artificial jaw and a scar on her neck. At the time of her

disappearance, Glenda's right leg was broken and was in a cast. The Charlie project notes that

Glenda goes with the nicknames of Blondie and Sunshine and may use the surname's Adams,

Kernet, Darling and Deal. Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Norman Police

Department on 405-366-5211. Well friends, there you have it. What do you think of these strange

further on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.

Hello friends, Steve Stockton here with you. Welcome to our latest video.

This offering is number four in our Creepy Cases series. Now, while many of the cases we cover

on the channel have at least some strange or weird illness to them, these are some hand-picked

cases that we feel to be amongst the creepiest. Join us. First up, Marina Bolter.

18-year-old Marina Bolter was doing everything within her power to get her life back on track

in 2014. She had recently graduated high school by obtaining her GED and had plans to go to college

to study to become a pastry chef. They hadn't always been easy for Marina though,

and in early 2014, when she was just 17 years old, she found out that she was pregnant with her

first child. At the time, Marina was in an on-off relationship with DJ Lockhart and the two did their

best to make the relationship work, although this wasn't always possible. When Marina's newborn

son was just four months old, he was taken into care after an altercation saw the baby receive

a head injury. According to reports, Marina's son was struck when Faith, Marina's sister and

Faith's boyfriend were arguing and fighting in their Bloomfield, Indiana home. This event enraged

Marina understandably, and after that she refused to talk to her sister and distance herself from

their family on her father's side. After her child had been taken into care, Marina was determined

to get him back. She started working at the Delhi counter, the local IGA grocery store,

off south highway 231, and had recently moved into her own apartment to show social services that

she was more than capable of taking care of her baby. What social services didn't know was that

Marina had moved into the apartment with the help of a much older man, Toby, whom she had been

having an affair with. Not only was Toby much older than Marina, but he was in fact married,

and Toby near Marina as he was a friend of the family. While the affair was taking place,

Marina maintained her on-off relationship with DJ, the father of her child.

Their relationship was described as rocky at best, but Marina felt that there was a genuine

connection between them, and that one day they might finally settle their differences and be a

proper couple again and raise their child. In December of 2014, thanks for starting to look up

for Marina. She was doing well at her job, and the prospect of college admission was drawing

ever closer. New Year's Eve quickly rolled around, and what should have been a night of celebration

turned into a living nightmare for the Bolter family. On December 31, 2014, New Year's Eve,

Marina went about her day, as usual, finishing up her shift at the IGA grocery store at around 6 p.m.

As she was leaving work, she ran into DJ, who asked her to attend a New Year's party with him,

knowing she had to work the next day, she politely declined. DJ made several attempts to convince

Marina to attend the party with him, but she was having none of it. According to DJ, after the

two had finished their conversation, he watched her walk across to the Sonoco gas station close to

the IGA grocery store and get into the car with a middle-aged man. The man was described as white,

in his 40s or 50s with glasses, and he drove either a silver, beige or gold, mercury,

Milan, year 2009 to 2011, with multi-spoke rims, a spoiler, and a blue tooth or a shark fin antenna

on top. Witnesses would later confirm that the man in the car was indeed a regular customer at the

IGA grocery store, and when questioned, this unnamed man claimed that he dropped Marina at a closed

pizza shop near her apartment before driving away. He told investigators that he had dropped her

off at the pizza shop because Marina didn't want him to know her full address. How this story

seemed sketchy, Marina's mother later confirmed that this sounded like something her daughter would

indeed do in order to keep herself safe. As the clock ticked down the midnight and everyone was

celebrating the coming of the new year, nobody had any idea that Marina hadn't yet made it home

that night. It wasn't until the next morning when she failed to show up for work that the alarm

was raised. This was extremely out of character from Marina, and her boss at the IGA grocery store

immediately called her mother, Tressie, to make sure that everything was okay. Tressie knew

immediately that something was terribly wrong and jumped into her car racing over to Marina's

apartment. As she approached the apartment, she noticed that the door was locked,

there was no sign of a struggle, and Marina's phone and purse were missing. Marina's apartment

gave no clues as to her whereabouts, and in a panic, Tressie called the Bloomfield Police Department,

reporter daughter missing. Within minutes, the Bloomfield Police Department had descended upon

Marina's apartment, and a missing person investigation was underway. Investigators were able to

track Marina's phone and found that it had last pinged at an unreleased location 10 minutes after

she had left work. Investigators have not released any further information about this location

because of their pending investigation. During the search for Marina's apartment,

investigators failed to find her work clothes, which suggested that she hadn't returned her

apartment at all that evening, so now they were faced with a question, where is Marina?

They spoke with DJ who relayed the story about Marina getting into a car with a middle-aged man,

and it took three weeks for the man in question to come forward and talk investigators. According to

news reports, this unnamed man had his previous conviction for abduction, along with other crimes

to graphic dimension here, although he was officially ruled out as a suspect by police during the

initial investigation. During their investigation, the Bloomfield Police also learned that Marina had

been on the phone with Toby as she was leaving work on New Year's Eve, and that he was hosting a

New Year's party that he tried to persuade her to attend. During your phone call, Marina allegedly

said, oh shit, it's DJ, before hanging up the phone. Once news got out that Marina was missing,

Toby refused to speak to Tracy and only cooperative Marina's father and his side of the family.

It is bizarre that Toby sided with Marina's father's side of the family as Marina herself

was estranged from them. It later transpired that Tracy had called Toby's wife to speak to her

about the affair and discovered that Toby's wife had no idea, and that she'd only found out because

Tracy had found her. Was Toby angry that Tracy had tipped off his wife about his affair,

or was he siding with Marina's father to cover his own guilt? Marina's father and that side of

the family firmly believed that DJ is responsible for Marina's disappearance and maintained to this day

that he had something to do with it. DJ was subjected to polygraph and past, but just weeks after

Marina disappeared another tragedy would strike. On February 12, 2015, DJ died following an

altercation in a bar with a man by the name of Michael Rogers. Rogers was not charged as investigators

deemed it to be an act of self-defense, but any knowledge that DJ had about Marina was now taken

with him to the grave. There's also another person to consider in Marina's case,

and that's an ex-Fellon who was convicted of a horrific crime against a young girl.

This ex-Fellon lived in Marina's apartment block, and the Bloomfield police have said that they

do not consider him a suspect. While researching Marina's case, very few articles came up in

regards to this man, and it is hard to discern the truth about him. In an interview for NBC News,

Ashley Bolter, Marina's sister-in-law said, who really knows if what he, DJ, saw happen,

but either way she disappeared. There are several theories, but all we know is someone out there

knows what happened when she left that store. It's like nine out of ten days you're fine,

you just push on, then that tenth day comes and you collapse. The biggest thing is that she's a

mother. The least we want is answers, so that one day we can give our little boy the information

he deserves. Marina Bolter was last seen on December 31, 2014, as described as a white female

with blonde hair and blue eyes. Both of her ears are pierced, and she has a tattoo of star with

butterfly wings on her foot. She was last seen wearing a black and purple plaid peacock.

Jeans was rhinestones on the back pockets, pink and white Nike-shock shoes with a purple

swish outlined in black and across necklace. The Charlie project also mentions that she was

carrying a bag with love written on the side. Anyone with any information whatsoever

is asked to please contact the Bloomfield Police Department on 812-332-4411 or the Indiana state

police on 812-384-4411. Next up, Christina Bastion. 34-year-old Christina Bastion

worked as an English teacher at Silverado High School in Apple Valley, California in 2015.

I was well liked by our students and those in her community. In recent years,

Christina had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was working with doctors and mental health

professionals to help manage her condition. She had been prescribed medication, which she had

stopped in the months before she disappeared. Sources state that Christina came off from medication

after counseling her doctor and began telling family and friends that God had healed her.

When she first came off to medication, she seemed to note she was doing well. However,

this slowly changed. At just days before she was last seen, Christina's mood and personality

dramatically shifted. In late October of 2015, Christina began exhibiting bizarre behavior,

telling her friends and family that someone had broken into the apartment and that someone

was watching her and following her every move. Christina was inconsolable, despite her friends

and family trying to reassure that everything was okay. In an attempt to make her feel safe,

friends and family allowed her to stay with them for a few days, promising her that everything

would be all right. However, Christina's behavior only worsened over the coming days and the day

before she disappeared, she drove from Apple Valley, California to Phoenix, Arizona for reasons that

are unknown. According to Christina's mother, Cheryl, she received a phone call from her daughter

telling her that she was in Phoenix. Reports indicated after this, Christina took the SIM card out of

her phone and then smashed the phone to bits. On the day before disappearance, Christina also

spoke to her brother-in-law and cryptically told him I don't want to be Christina Bastien anymore.

This chilling statement was a premonition of what was to come and Christina also told him that

she wanted to disappear. Other next day, this premonition, if that's what it was, had come true

and Christina was nowhere to be found. On November 1, 2015, Christina arrived at a friend's house in

Apple Valley after the two agreed that Christina could stay the night. This wasn't unusual for Christina

and in the previous weeks she'd been overly paranoid that someone had broken into her apartment

and that someone was trying to get her. She brought with her some valuable items as well as

everyday items such as her bag, purse, and glasses along with her beloved dog Coco.

The full details of what happened that night have never been released. But according to the

Charlie project, Christina left her friend's house at around 145 am after becoming upset.

It is unknown whether the two had an actual disagreement or whether Christina's paranoia and

altered middle-state took over. According to the friend, Christina jumped into her silver

two-door Dodge Ram 1500 pickup and drove away into the night. Her friend hoped that Christina

would return after taking a short drive to clear her head, but as the sun rose, there was no sign

of Christina. That same night, 46 miles away on Highway 247 near Botic Road in Johnson Valley,

California. The California Highway Patrol found some of Christina's personal items scattered

on the side of the highway. It wasn't until the next morning that her car was found abandoned,

a further 37 miles away near Valley View Road and 29 Palms Highway. Investigators who discovered

the car noted that it was covered in dense and scrapes, almost as if it had been driven through

rocky terrain. Christina's family held their collective breath as the news of the discovery of her

car was relayed to them, but as the investigators went through the details, they realized that there

was still no sign of Christina. Their concern grew as the hours passed, knowing that she was in

an altered state of mind with no car, no wallet, no ID, and no glasses, as she had left all these

items behind at her friend's house the night before. Also, on November 1, 2015, Christina's

beloved dog, Coco, was found wandering in Apple Valley on the side of Highway 18. The kind stranger

took Coco in and put up fliers and posters, appealing for the owner to come forward. Christina's

family were alerted to this and chose for Coco to remain in the woman's care while they

searched for Christina. As the days went on, the search for Christina continued with local police

forces and volunteers turning out in droves to look for, so sadly no sign of her was to be found.

It wasn't until 11 days later that a horrific discovery was made near Bare Valley Road in Apple

Valley. The area is described as being a dirt road and the location of discovery only added to

the fears of the investigators and Christina's family. On the side of the dirt road, a passerby

noticed a discarded backpack, and upon opening it, they found medication, money, and photographs

that all belonged to Christina. This discovery was called into the Apple Valley PD, who used canines

and helicopters to search the area, but sadly no other clues were to be found. Cheryl, Christina's

mother, believes that her daughter may be in Yucca Valley for the surrounding area and is homeless

or living a transient lifestyle. In a Facebook post to the page helped find Christina Bastion

in July 2018, Cheryl wrote a couple of months ago a young well-capped homeless man identified Christina

by name from a picture. He was in front of the Walmart in Yucca Valley, California. I believe she is

there. If you see her, please snap a picture and send it to me. I miss her more than words can

express. According to other posts made on this page, Cheryl has received several emails and

tips from people in California and beyond who believe that they have seen Christina panhandling

and begging for change. Christina Bastion was last seen on November 1, 2015 in Apple Valley,

California. She described as a white female with red hair, brown eyes, five foot, six inches tall,

and weighs about 170 pounds. Christina's ears and cartilage are pierced. She has a scar on her

thumb, a scar on her right eyebrow, and a tattoo of a cherry blossom, which Chinese writing on her left

ankle and foot. She also needs glasses to see, however, these were left behind at the time for

disappearance. Cheryl told the media that without her glasses, Christina can only see about six inches

in front of her, and all she had with her at the time of her disappearance was a pair of contacts

she was wearing. Christina was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and requires medication for her

condition. However, she had stopped taking these months before she disappeared,

apparently with her doctor's permission, according to her. Anyone with any information

has asked to contact the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department at 909-387-3690 for the Apple

Valley PD at 760-240-7400. Next, we have Kaya Taylor. 28-year-old Kaya Taylor has been

described by friends and family as a lively, warm, and affectionate person who would go out of her

way to help those in need. At the time of her disappearance, Kaya was living in Plant City, Florida

with her boyfriend, although some reports stated she was couch-serving and staying with friends.

Kaya's family have created the Facebook page for finding Kaya in an attempt to gather as much

information as possible and spread the word about her disappearance. Her family has also been

very vocal about the lack of progress made in her case. In August of 2020, her family made a

post to the Facebook page laying out the facts of Kaya's case and asking anyone with information

to contact the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office. Kaya Taylor was last seen in around 4 p.m. on

February 6, 2020, dropping her boyfriend off at his friend's house located off Cowert and

Trappno Road in Plant City, Florida. According to her boyfriend, his friend and his friend's

father, they also Kaya dropping off her boyfriend before leaving to make her way to Lakeland where she

was due to stay with her friend. Unfortunately, Kaya never arrived at her friend's house in Lakeland

and this friend informed her boyfriend that she'd never shown up days later. Just three hours after

Kaya was last seen, her car was discovered to band in on the railway tracks on Trappno Road.

Kaya's family has stated that this railway was out of use and maintenance works were being carried

out on the tracks. The concerned citizen noticed the car and called the police to learn

them to the situation and get it moved. Plant City Police Department arrived at the scene and found

that Kaya's car was still running. The wind is open, facing northbound and that her phone was on

the floor of the vehicle. Somewhat oddly, instead of running her plates, the officer who attended

the scene got into Kaya's car and moved it to the side of the railway tracks. From another three

days, Kaya's car set at the edge of these tracks until her boyfriend's mother saw it sitting there.

She went over to her son's house to let him know what was going on and he told his mother that

Kaya was supposed to be in Lakeland so he couldn't understand why her car had been abandoned where it was.

During the worst, Kaya's boyfriend called the friend in Lakeland who confirmed that she'd never

arrived. After this, Kaya's boyfriend called her mother to let her know that her daughter hadn't

been seen since February 6 and that her car had been abandoned. After being notified that her

daughter had gone missing, Kaya's mother went to collect her car that had been left at the side

of the railroad tracks. Inside the car, she found Kaya's phone and wallet. This sent alarm bells

ringing and Kaya's mother called the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office to report her daughter missing.

Four days after she was last seen, Kaya Taylor was officially listed as a missing person

and an investigation was opened. In the days following Kaya's disappearance,

friends, family and members of the local community gathered to help campus the area

and aid the police in their search for her. The police used sent dogs, helicopters,

and those officers on the ground all coming to the area looking for Kaya.

A forensic examination was conducted on Kaya's car. However, this yielded no results.

Kaya's family remained strong, canvassing the area, putting up fires and talking to residents who

may have seen something. They also held a vigil to help bring awareness to Kaya's disappearance,

but despite the media coverage and attention, no one came forward with any information.

The first clue didn't come until February 26, 2020. 20 days after Kaya had last been seen.

According to the Facebook post made by Kaya's family, 20 days after Kaya's disappearance on

February 26, her shoes were found located not too far from her car, next to a light pole

that had her picture on it attached to a missing person's fire.

Family, friends, and police officers searched the area prior and the shoes were not there.

It's as if someone placed them there. Another puzzling clue that was uncovered during the

investigation was Kaya's last text to her boyfriend, which read,

so you were going to send your white supremacist friends to take care of me.

Post written for the Bear Press mentioned that Kaya is biracial,

that her boyfriend's social media was filled with post of the Confederate flag and other racist

propaganda. Kaya's mother also confirmed to people.com that Kaya had recently fallen in with a

bad crowd and had possibly been experimenting with drugs. Since Kaya's shoes were discovered in

February 2020, her case has gone cold, despite the best efforts of her family to keep her name in

the media. Kaya Taylor remains missing, and her family are offering a $10,000 reward for any

information that leads to her wear baths. We'd also like to mention that Kaya's boyfriend has not

been named publicly, and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office have stated that he is not

a suspect and Kaya's disappearance. Kaya Taylor was last seen on February 6, 2020, and has

described as a biracial African-American white mix. Female, 5 foot 6 inches tall and 170 pounds,

with Auburn, Red Hair, and Brown Eyes. Kaya has multiple tattoos, an infinity symbol on her left

upper chest, two axes with a rose on the back of her shoulder, a rose on the inside of her forearm,

son on her upper right thigh, and a ladybird on her left calf. She was last seen wearing a blue

gray red and white stripe shorts, leave mini dress, tan knee high boots, and possibly a pink

cardigan. Anyone with any information, is urged to please contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's

Office at 813-247-8200. Next, we have Jake Ladeos. 22-year-old Jake Ladeos was last seen on the

Interstate 10 bridge over the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge on August 29, 2014 at around 2 a.m.

The passerby told investigators they had spoke to Jake at around 2 a.m. as he was sitting next to

his pickup truck on the bridge. Jake informed the stranger that he was on his way to West Baton Rouge,

but sadly, Jake never made it there. A few hours later, the Baton Rouge Police Department received

a bizarre call. They kicked out of the search for Jake. In the early morning hours of August 29,

2014, the Baton Rouge Police Department were called to the Interstate 10 bridge when an anonymous

caller reported seeing a person jump from the bridge into the waters below. Person calling did not

want to give their identity, and it appears they were not at the scene when the police arrived.

The Baton Rouge Police took this call very seriously, and a spatched officer to the scene,

however, when they arrived, they couldn't find anything. They looked into the water below,

but saw no sign of anyone having jumped. The dive team was called to the area to recover any

remains or rescue the person, but again, the dive team found nothing. What the Baton Rouge Police

Department did find was Jake's pickup truck, still running, abandoned on the side of the road.

Inside the vehicle were Jake's phone, cigarettes and a trolling motor that he had just purchased,

while his wallet and crutches that he was using at the time were nowhere to be found.

At the time his disappearance, Jake had a broken foot and right hand and was wearing an orthopedic

boot as well as using crutches to get around. As crutches weren't recovered from the bridge

nor the water, leaving authorities with more questions than answers. Jake's mother, Tina Leclerc,

told NBC if he jumped off the bridge, his crutches would have been found.

They would have been left in his room by a truck on the bridge floating in the water.

Jake's case only became more bizarre when his mother, Tina,

visited his apartment after the Baton Rouge Police Department contacted her to let her know

that his truck had been found abandoned on the side of the bridge. She told NBC,

when I got there, it automatically seemed suspicious. The window was punched out.

There were holes in the wall. His personal items were missing, including his TV set,

just everything was a mess. Several years had passed since Jake disappeared, and sadly,

the Baton Rouge Police Department are still no closer to solving his case.

According to a Facebook post made to the help by missing Jake Allen Lattiel's page in August 2021,

his crutches were located much later at an undisclosed time in location,

but no further information has been provided about this fact.

His mother, Tina, believed that Jake met with foul play and that someone staged it to look

like he took his own life. Tina said she's ready for whatever outcome and just wants to know the

truth of what happens to her son. 22-year-old Jake Lattiel's was last seen on August 29, 2014,

on the interstate 10 bridge in Baton Rouge. He is described as a white male with brown hair,

brown eyes, stands approximately 5 foot 9 inches tall, and weighs between 130 and 150 pounds.

Jake has a cross-shaped scar on his left wrist, and at the time of his disappearance he had a broken

foot, a broken right hand, who was using an orthopedic boat and crutches.

Anyone with any information has urged to please contact the Baton Rouge Police Department

at 225-389-4617.

And finally, Audrey May Heron. 31-year-old Audrey May Heron was a devoted mother of three and a nurse

living in Catskill New York at the time of her disappearance. When Audrey was just 22, she gave birth

to her first child, Sansia, and with the help of her parents,

container studies, and eventually became a full-time nurse at a nearby nursing home.

Audrey later went on to marry Jeff Heron, and a couple had two more children, Katie and Quinn.

The blended family quickly meshed together, with Sansia telling true crime daily,

even though I wasn't his child, he still considered me his daughter, and I called him Dad.

I, for the herons, was going smoothly, 2002. Sansia was 10 years old, and a few days before

a Labor Day weekend, she had just returned to her Catskill home from Florida, where she had spent

the last month with her grandmother, Shirley, which was Audrey's mother. Shirley revealed that Audrey

had just been given a raise at work, and was excited to see her daughter after she'd been away for so long.

Audrey's shifts are working until 11 p.m. at night, and Shirley agreed that this would be far too late

for to pick Sansia from her home. Sansia stayed the night at her grandmother's house,

waiting eagerly for her mother to come and pick her up on the morning of August 30th, 2002.

The sadly, that knock at the door, and the familiar shout of Sansia's name never came.

Shirley told Dateline, I called Audrey, and she said she had a doctor's appointment the next morning,

but she would pick Sansia up after that. Shirley was surprised when the phone rang at 6 a.m.

the next morning, and she heard Jeff on the other end of the phone asking if she had seen Audrey.

She told NBC, Jeff called and asked if Audrey was at my house. It would not have been unusual for her

to stay over with me, but normally she would have called and let him know. I said she wasn't here,

but I didn't think anything of it, so I dosed back off.

Shirley's slumber was interrupted an hour later by another phone call from Jeff,

this time he sounded more panning. He told Shirley that Audrey hadn't returned home from work

to previous evening. According to Shirley, she relayed this information to a family member who

used to work in law enforcement who in turn reported Audrey's missing. The wide skill search began,

and the local police, along with Audrey's family, began canvassing the area.

During their investigation, the New York State Police came across CCTV footage that confirmed

Audrey left work on the evening of August 29th, 2002, in her black 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

New York State Police Detective Kaminsky said,

we only have one grainy video from Cumberland Farms, in which it appears that Audrey's vehicle

does leave her place of employment, and basically turned left going west on County Route 23B.

That's the last of any kind of technology we had. We can't confirm it's the vehicle because of

the quality of the video, but it appears to be. The quality of the video was very poor and very

grainy, but it does appear to leave at the time she would have ended work. Armed with this new piece

of information, investigators began searching bodies of water and any other areas that Audrey

may have ended up, but came up with nothing. There was no activity on her phone, credit or debit cards

since August 29th, 2002, and the investigation quickly went cold. Tips and leads have been followed

to their end and almost 20 years later, we're still asking the question, where is Audrey Heron?

Jeff, Audrey's husband has been described as uncooperative for the New York State Police.

He has voluntarily undergone a polygraph test, and his property has been searched extensively,

nothing was found in connection with Audrey's disappearance. The New York State Police have said

that Jeff has not considered a suspect that they are considering her case a homicide rather than

a missing person case. Audrey was last seen leaving her workplace on August 29th, 2002,

in her black 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, New York license plate X233UV.

Audrey is described as a white female, with dark blonde to light brown hair, hazel eyes,

she stands five foot tall and weighs 105 pounds. Audrey has a scar on her right thumb and a mole on

the inside of her right knee. She was last seen wearing a blue turtle neck, dark green medical

scrubs, a yellow gold necklace with a pendant that says number one mom, and a watch with a white

leather band and a white metal face. Anyone with any information is asked to please contact the New

York State Police at 518-622-8600. Well folks, there you have it. What do you think of these creepy

cases? Somewhere somebody knows the truth. Hopefully the day will come when all these cases can be

solved and the families can have the closure that they deserve. Thank you for listening.

I look forward to your comments, but please keep it friendly and respectful. Meanwhile,

we good to ourselves and each other. Be careful out there, and I'll see you a little farther

on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you next time.

Hello friends. This is episode number five in our creepy cases series. Although many of the

cases we cover on the channel have at least some bizarre string gentlemen to them. These are

five more and pick cases that we feel have the highest creep factor. Join us.

Number five, Marilyn Bergeron. 24-year-old Marilyn Bergeron was once a happy and positive young

woman, but in late 2007 her family noticed a troubling change in her. Her outlook had changed

for a positive one to a gloomy one, and it was clear that something was bothering her.

She was often tearful and told her mother that she didn't have healthy relationships,

but did not disclose exactly what the problem was.

Early 2008, Marilyn had moved from her apartment in Hoshilega,

Messonue, back to her parents' house in Quebec, telling them that she no longer felt safe living

where she had been. The neighborhood in which Marilyn lived was notorious for criminal activity,

and was described as an impoverished area with many issues. She had moved there in 2005 and

had taken up freelance work with local TV stations, and was slowly beginning to pull her rear together.

But something had changed in recent months, and the events of February 2008 would send her

family on a hunt for justice and answers. Between February 15th and 16th, Marilyn made trips

between the two places, moving her things and saying goodbye to her friends. Everyone tried to

talk to Marilyn, pleading with her to let them know what was wrong. Her family later told

investigators that any attempt to talk to Marilyn about her problems would result in her breaking down

and shutting down the conversation. She had even cryptically asked her sister,

as they had light at the end of the tunnel. During the move, her family tried to

coax more information out of her, but each time she shut them down, showing a blank expression,

or simply breaking down in tears. It was at this point that her family referred her to a psychologist

and hoped that the move back home would provide her with a safe and comfortable place to recover

and explore her issues with a medical professional. According to the psychologist that saw Marilyn,

her case was big and would require hospitalization. Unfortunately, Marilyn disappeared before

any further help or intervention could be offered. Her family were incredibly worried for a well-being

and asked her if someone had heard her or whether she had problems with a relationship,

death, etc. But each time, Marilyn said, oh, everything's fine. A February 17, 2008,

Marilyn had moved all of her things back into the family home and was resettling herself in a

familiar environment. She told her family that she wanted to leave her life in Montreal behind for

good and her family said that they would help her along the way. At around 11 a.m. on February 17,

2008, Marilyn left the family home for what unfortunately would be the last time.

She told her mother that she was going for a walk and that she would be back soon.

She stepped out of the house, wearing only a long black coat with gray fake fur trim and boots

and headed off on her walk. The next time that Marilyn would be spotted was on CCTV,

and she had an unusual item with her. At 11 a.m., Marilyn was seen on CCTV at an ATM

on Boulevard Day, Laumière, attempting to withdraw $60 Canadian at the transaction fail.

Her family believes that she had simply forgotten her pen number, but her behavior

while the cash machine raised several alarms. The card that Marilyn attempted to use was a

credit card that was linked to her father that she had been given in case of emergency.

In the footage, Marilyn is seen looking over her shoulder several times and appears very paranoid.

Marilyn's mother also noticed that she was wearing a black backpack over one shoulder and

an item that she had not had with her when she left the house. So where had she gotten this

strange backpack and what were her plans? Things only grow more mysterious with the next confirmed

sighting of Marilyn, which occurred at 403 p.m. in the Cafe Depot at St. Romalt.

Now going to a coffee shop isn't an out-of-the-ordinary activity,

but the fact that this coffee shop was over 12 miles away from her home was rather suspicious.

I was Marilyn in a coffee shop so far away from home when the neighborhoods around her had

plenty of coffee shops she could have visited. The barista who served Marilyn in this particular

coffee shop was later questioned and confirmed that Marilyn was alone and paid with the credit card.

Shortered her coffee and then walked out of the coffee shop, never to be seen again.

After this sighting, Marilyn has never been seen or heard from.

There's been no activity on her phone or the card and it's as if she simply dropped off the map.

Investigators believe that Marilyn was driven to the coffee shop 12 miles away from her home

as the weather conditions would have made it near impossible for her to walk that far.

It is unknown whether the possibility of public transport has ever been explored in this

instance, when Marilyn failed to return home her family knew that something was very wrong and

called the police straight away. After learning about Marilyn's situation and the circumstances

leading up to her disappearance, the search for her began immediately with police scaring the area

and coming through her bank records and CCTV footage. Unfortunately, the two CCTV sightings

previously mentioned are the only confirmed sightings of Marilyn. The police have put out numerous

appeals for anyone who may have seen Marilyn or may have given her a ride to please come forward.

So far, nobody has. There have been several alleged sightings of Marilyn, including sightings in

Hawksbury, Ontario. According to reports, people have seen a woman matching Marilyn's description

in Hawksbury in the company of a man. The two were often known to move around the town and

those who saw her said that she looked anxious and like she was possibly being held captive.

Unfortunately, none of these sightings have ever been substantiated, and despite numerous searches

by both the police and Marilyn's family, no sign of her has ever been found.

Her family are of the opinion that she took her own life, but friends have alluded to something

much much darker. In late 2007, Jonathan Gaudier, who knew Marilyn from college,

met up with her and noticed that her personality and behavior had completely changed. She was no longer

the happy and lively Marilyn that he once knew. The night that they met up,

then attended a party before heading back to Marilyn's apartment. It was here that she broke

down crying. Jonathan rushed her aside to comfort her. He tried to get more information from her

and pressed the matter, asking whether she had witnessed something horrific or if something

horrific had happened to her. According to Jonathan, Marilyn told him, no, it's worse.

Joe, you can't even imagine what I went through. Sadly, she didn't elaborate any further.

The investigation into Marilyn's disappearance has continued over the years with her family

initially posting a $10,000 Canadian reward for information. This amount has now grown to $30,000

Canadian, but we are still no closer to finding out what happened to Marilyn. Her mother told

the CBC in 2017, Marilyn, if you're still alive, for us, it's like yesterday you disappeared.

We love you. We're waiting for you with open arms and we miss you so much. Her family believed

that Marilyn's life was either in danger or that she perceived to have been in danger in Montreal

and believes that her friends and associates may hold the answers.

Marilyn Bergeron was last seen on February 17, 2008, has not been seen or heard from since.

Marilyn displayed wearing behavior in the lead-up to disappearance and there have been several

unconfirmed sightings of her in the Hawksbury Ontario area. Marilyn has described as a white

female with brown hair, green eyes, 5'7 and 115 pounds. She has a tattoo of Pegasus

on her chest, lower right collarbone, and she was last seen wearing boots and a black coat

with grey fake fur trim. Anyone with any information deserves to please contact the Quebec police

services. F418-641-6291, vote case number 2008-18087, or you can contact the family's lawyer,

Mark Belmer, on 418-681-1227, or toll-free 1-800-840-1526.

Number four, Andrew Gosden. The disappearance of 14-year-old Andrew Gosden is one of the UK's

most baffling missing person cases. South Yorkshire police have worked tirelessly over the years

to find Andrew, but there have been very few leads to work on. Those from the UK will have many

strong memories on Andrew's disappearance and the media storm and investigation that followed.

It's been over a decade since Andrew disappeared, and the South Yorkshire police are still no

closer to cracking this mystifying case. Andrew Gosden lived in Bobby, doncaster and South Yorkshire

with his parents, Kevin and Linus. The two provided Andrew with a happy and stable home life,

and as a result, he was flourishing academically. He was in the young gifted and

talented program at school, and had a perfect attendance record. It was clear that Andrew was

destined for great things academically, and he excelled in every subject at school.

With this, Andrew's father, Kevin, said that he was not streetwise and preferred to stay

home and play on his Xbox and listen to metal music. This behavior is not uncommon for teenagers,

and his parents were happy that he was flourishing academically and did have a small social circle

of friends, good dependable ones. The lives of the Gosden family would be turned upside down

once September afternoon, however, shortly after the new school year had started.

Andrew had spent part of his summer holiday, which was six weeks, pretending a gifted and

talented program and was apparently very happy and had a bright outlook for what lay ahead of him

after he'd finished school. The September 14th 2007 was different, something inside Andrew

had changed, and within the space of a few hours his parents would be thrown into a missing person

investigation that has spanned over a decade. But September 14th 2007, Andrew got up and got ready

for school as normal. He said goodbye to his parents and headed out the front door at around 805

am. By all accounts, this was just another day of school, and Andrew was seen heading toward the

bus stop. However, instead of boarding the bus to school, Andrew kept walking and headed into the

local park. Nobody knows why Andrew chose to skip school that day, but we do know that he waited

in the park until around 830 am. By this time, his parents would have left for work, and Andrew knew

that he would have the house to himself. This is just the beginning of the bizarre details

surrounding the disappearance of Andrew Gosden, and things only become more mysterious from here.

After waiting in the park, as we said, Andrew returned home, took off his school uniform,

and put it straight into the washing machine. He changed into a slipknot t-shirt,

dirt jeans, and packed his bag with his keys, wallet, and his PSP gaming system. Andrew didn't

take his PSP charger with him, which indicated that he probably had every intention of coming back.

But unfortunately, that is not what happened. As Gliss and Kevin went about their work day,

they had no idea that their son was headed to Donkaster train station.

Bank records confirmed that Andrew was through 200 pounds from his account, leaving about 14 pounds

in the balance. Andrew walked into Donkaster train station, went up to the ticket office,

and bought a one-way ticket to London. The woman who served Andrew recalled telling him that

for just 50p extra, he could get a return ticket, but Andrew declined. He confidently stated that

he wanted the one-way ticket, handed over the money, took the ticket, and made his way to the platform.

No one knows why Andrew bought a ticket to London, nor why only bought a one-way ticket.

Was Andrew planning to meet with someone in London who had promised to take him back home,

did he plan to stay in London indefinitely? Witnesses reported seeing Andrew

boarding the 9.35am train to London Kings Cross station, and by 11.25am, he was captured on

CCTV leaving Kings Cross. This is the last confirmed signing of Andrew, and over a decade later,

we're still no closer to the truth. When Andrew's school noticed that he was absent that day,

his parents were called. However, a clerical error was made and the wrong number was dialed.

It wasn't until Glenison Kevin arrived home from work to find Andrew's uniform in the house

that they knew something was off. After calling out Andrew's name and searching all over the

house, his parents realized that he was missing and dialed 999. South Yorkshire police responded

to the call immediately, and the search for Andrew commenced. The area of Bobby was searched

thoroughly, and investigators began coming through Andrew's life. At the time of his disappearance,

Andrew didn't have a phone, as he was known to lose them, and preferred to spend time on his

Xbox and listening to music anyway. Flyers, posters, and news reports were circulated around South Yorkshire,

and Yorkshire with the South Yorkshire police, hoping that somebody would come forward with information.

As the days passed, and there was no word, the costumes began to realize that the situation

that they were in was incredibly serious. Then, days after Andrew disappeared, the South Yorkshire

police got their first lead. The woman who sold Andrew the ticket at Donkaster train station

came forward, and from here, the police were able to check CCTV and confirm that Andrew had

traveled to King's Cross. Sadly, Andrew was not spotted on CCTV after he left King's Cross

station, and CCTV in the surrounding areas, failed to show up anything.

Now, there are three main theories in Andrew's case, with the first thing that he was

lured away by someone online. As we said, Andrew had an Xbox and a PSP, but forensic analysis

of these and the data showed that Andrew was not registered online with an account. He

reportedly didn't even use the family computer, and didn't really touch online communications at all.

This was backed up by digital forensic investigations that built a turn up any online presence

from Andrew whatsoever. His family did confirm to investigators that Andrew knew several people who

lived in London, but none of these people have reported seeing Andrew on the date of or after his

disappearance. The next theory that was well publicized in the British media was that Andrew had

possibly gone to London to attend a gig or some sort of music related event. Andrew loved his

metal music, and a few gigs were going on around that time, but if that were the case, then why would

he buy a one-way ticket? There were no sightings of Andrew at any of these music events, and there

has been no proof to suggest that Andrew had tickets for any of these events either.

The last theory is one that Andrew's father, Kevin, came up with. Kevin postulated that perhaps

Andrew left to start a new life somewhere, without the intervention of his family.

His family were religious, but also said that they were open to sexuality and gender expression.

This theory ties in with an interesting clue that came to light in 2018.

It's important to preface this next section by saying that Andrew's nickname was Rue,

and it was a nickname that only those closest to him knew and called him.

According to reports, an anonymous witness told the police that in 2018, he had a conversation

with someone online by the name of Andy Rue. Two people started talking, and Andy Rue asked

the anonymous witness for 200 pounds so that he could pay his rent. This Andy Rue person

went on to explain that he had left home at 14 and didn't have a bank account, so sending money

via bank transfer would be difficult. He said that he needed the money because his boyfriend had left

him but never went into further detail about his private life. This lead gave the Metropolitan

Police and the South Yorkshire Police a glimmer of hope, but it appears the person calling themselves

Andy Rue has never been formally identified, and we cannot confirm whether or not this person is

Andrew Gosden. Following Andrew's disappearance, his family traveled to London to hand out

flyers and to appeal to witnesses and anyone with information to come forward. Kevin and Glennis

have been the driving force behind keeping Andrew's name in the media, and they've continued to put

pressure on the South Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police to investigate his disappearance.

This case has been incredibly well publicized, and in towns and cities across the UK,

Andrew's missing person poster can still be seen. The charity UK Missing Persons works

with the families of those who are missing to create posters, and they also run a tip line

for those with information, or for those who are missing and need someone to talk to.

Despite all of this media attention and investigation, no trace of Andrew has ever been located.

After he left Kings Cross Station, he seemingly vanished into thin air, and the investigation has

laid dormant ever since. Well, that was until January 22, when once again the Andrew Gosden case

made headlines. On January 11, 2022, the BBC published an article titled,

Andrew Gosden, two men arrested for trafficking and kidnap. This headlines shocked the nation,

and the details of the arrest would shock them even more. According to the BBC, two men, aged 38 and

45, were arrested in December in London on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking.

The 45 year old man was also arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images.

The two men were released on bail, pending a further investigation, and the Metropolitan

Police and the South Yorkshire Police are currently working the case. No further details have been

released in regards to these charges, and the police are keeping their cards very close to their

chest. Throughout the years, several aged prevention photos have been issued to show what Andrew

may look like now as an adult. The River Tim's has been searched numerous times by divers and

with a sonar scanner, but this has not turned up any leads either. The South Yorkshire Police

have the Metropolitan Police, along with Andrew's family, continue to search for them, and hope

that one day they will have answers or at least closure. Andrew Gosden was last seen wearing a

slipknot t-shirt, dark jeans, and was carrying a bag containing his keys, wallet, and PSP gaming

system. He had bought a one-way ticket from Don Castro to King's Cross, London, and was last

seen leaving King's Cross station at 11.25 a.m. on September 14th, 2007. Andrew has brown hair,

has a unique double ridge on his right ear, his deafened his left ear, and wears strong prescription

glasses. Anyone with any information is asked to please contact 101 UK missing people on 11600.

The South Yorkshire Police on 0114-220-220-220, the Metropolitan Police on 424-220-720-320-1212,

or Crime Stoppers on 0800-555-1111.

Number 3, Ben Padilla. The disappearance of Ben Padilla is a confusing and complex case,

and it requires a bit of background information to express his disappearance.

In 2002, American Airlines retired a Boeing 727-223, with registration in 8 or 4AA,

and this plane was purchased by Marie Joseph, who owned an aerospace company in Florida.

Different sources give different stories, but the main gist of the situation is that a

businessman came and leased the plane, located in Angola, from Marie, only to default on his

payments or abandon the plans that he had for the plane. Apparently, this businessman wanted

to use the plane to transport oil to diamond mines across Angola, and this same businessman and

Marie Joseph had come to a payment agreement that never came to fruition. This meant that the

plane went back into storage and racked up over $4 million in airport fees.

The plane with number N-8 or 4AA was then back in the hands of Marie Joseph, who brought Ben

Padilla on board. Ben was a certified aircraft mechanic, flight engineer and pilot, and he was

perfect for the job. The N-8 or 4AA was 25 years old, and it needed repair work done to it before

was suitable for use. So, Ben got to work fixing up the plane and always going well.

That was until May 25, 2003, when something truly bizarre happened.

On this day, the plane was due to fly from Angola to Germany, but as the crew arrived at the

airport for their flight, they noticed that the plane had gone. Everyone checked their watches

to ensure that they had not made a mistake, but the events that would follow would only confuse

them further. Shortly after the crew arrived, air traffic control noticed Boeing 727, N-844AA,

taxing erratically on the runway. Several attempts were made by air traffic control to establish

contact, however no one responded. All air traffic could do was watch on as the Boeing took off into

the skies. The only two men on board were Ben Padilla, and a man named John Michael Matonsu,

who had been working alongside Ben as an aircraft technician.

The plane had not been cleared for takeoff at that time, and it also not submitted a flight plan,

which immediately caused the attention of air traffic control. Several more attempts were made

to establish contact, but as the plane soared higher into the sky, their attempts proved beautiful.

Now, as the plane was being used for private business, the seats had been ripped out,

and it was made to carry diesel fuel. Regardless of who or what was on board,

air traffic control was on red alert, and soon the word of the rogue plane had spread.

This incident, just two years shy of 9-11, took away of a panic through Angola.

Officials tried desperately to track the plane, but found nothing.

The plane had been fueled up with over 14,000 gallons of jet fuel, which would only take

into the plane about 2,400 miles. Well, as you know, what goes up must come down,

but as the days dragged on, there were no reports of a Boeing 727 with ID number N844AA landing

at any airport, nor were there any reports of a crash. The plane had seemingly taken off and

vanished into thin air, almost if it had flown right into a portal. According to reports,

the plane was its lights off and its transponder not transmitting. N844AA took off over the

southwest and had it out over the Atlantic Ocean. So, where did Bimpedia go? And what happened

to the 727 that seemingly disappeared into thin air? One theory is that the mysterious

disappearance is down to insurance fraud. As previously mentioned, the plane was due to be

leased by someone, however, the deal fell through, and the plane ended up procuring millions of

dollars in fees the time it was stored at the airport in Angola. Some people are of the opinion

that Mari Joseph and Bimpedia find the plane's disappearance in order to claim insurance to help

pay those fees. Another theory is perhaps the two men were on the plane at the wrong time,

and they were forced to fly the plane to wherever the hijacker demanded. The FBI, NSA, and the CIA

became involved in the search for Ben and the missing Boeing 727 along with several other countries.

But so far, nothing has ever been discovered or recovered. When Ben first took the job,

his brother recalled having a conversation with him about hijacking. Ben told his brother that he

would rather crash the plane than comply with anyone's demands and wondered whether Ben was harmed

or was being held against his will somewhere. The investigation into Ben's sudden disappearance

and the disappearance of the Boeing 727 is still ongoing, but very little evidence of surfaced.

Ben Pedia is described as a white male with brown hair brown eyes and stands six foot two inches tall.

The Boeing 727-223 has a tail number VN8 or 4AA and the serial number 20985.

The plane also has an unpainted silver color with a stripe of red, white, and blue.

Anyone with information about Ben or the plane is asked to contact the FBI at 202

324-30000.

Number two, Melanie S.E.A. September 28, 2022, will mark the 26th anniversary

of the disappearance of 15-year-old Melanie Nadia S.E.A. from her home in Newless Card, Ontario.

Born on Christmas Day in 1980, Melanie was a great joy in her mother's life

and to all those who knew her. Melanie, her five-year-old sister Jesse,

and her mother Selene, had lived in the Newless Card area for almost nine years

and those in the community knew Melanie well.

Melanie was known for a vibrant personality and the fact that she was an honors student

of the Echolais Secondary Catholic School.

Melanie had dreams of becoming a teacher after she graduated from high school.

And in between completing homework, Melanie worked at a daycare that was attached to her school.

This job provided Melanie with some independence and gave her valuable skills to take into

her future teaching career. Unfortunately, this bright and promising young woman was taken

and never got to live out her dream of being a teacher.

September 28, 1996, was the day that the lives of the FDA family would change forever.

On that morning, Melanie headed towards a local library after visiting a family friend

and bumped into one of her friends. The two girls decided to spend the day together

and they went into the city to do a bit of shopping and relax.

According to this friend, Melanie bought a cake tin and cake making supplies

that she could make a birthday cake for her grandmother.

Melanie seemed excited about the trip and the two girls enjoyed themselves.

As the day wore on, the girls made plans to meet up with Melanie's boyfriend,

Neil 48, and three other friends, Dave Romley, Jay Dennell, and Ryan Chattwin.

The group of teenagers hung out and planned what they wanted to do together for the rest of the day

and evening. September 28, 1996, was a Saturday, so the youngsters wanted to make the most

of not having to go to bed early. So the group had to a video store and rented a copy of the film

Sudden Death. The original plan was to head to Melanie's house. However, as Melanie's grandparents

were staying over, the house was already a hub of activity. Melanie's room was amassed,

and there was no place for the teens to kick back and relax.

This didn't bother them though, and they merely decided to head to another home,

eventually settling on the home of Ryan Chattwin on Pine Avenue.

After wandering around, calling in at their friend's homes, hoping to get a quiet room,

the teens were relieved to find their rides fairs and upstairs, leaving them with free rain of the

house. They settled in to watch the film and just a chat and enjoy each other's company.

The hours ticked by and slowly, one by one, the teens left and headed home.

Melanie was one of the last to leave Ryan Chattwin's house, not aware of what her best friend had

just encountered outside. That best friend would later tell investigators that when she left Ryan's

house at 12.30am, she saw a light-covered Chevrolet Monte Carlo or a similar car crawling slowly

down the street. The driver of the car paid special attention to her as she walked to a place

where she's being picked up, and she said that the driver scared her so much that she took off

running. Between 1.30am and 2am, Melanie left Ryan's house, and this would be the last time she was

ever seen or heard from. Those left over at Ryan's house watched us Melanie walk down Pine Avenue

and into the darkness. Her home was only about a half mile away, but unfortunately,

Melanie never completed the journey. Her disappearance wasn't noted until much later that morning

when the FDA household awoke to find no sign of Melanie. Selene, her mother,

Chattwin Melanie's friends, hoping that she had stayed denied and just forgotten to call,

but her heart sank when her friends said that she wasn't there, and it left about 2am.

Selene rushed to the daycare where Melanie worked, and she wasn't there either.

That was the moment she knew it was serious. She picked up the phone and called the police.

The Newless Card Police, along with the Ontario Provincial Police, began their search for Melanie,

and began knocking on doors of homes and businesses in the community.

Melanie's personal life was looked at, and those were with her on the night she disappeared.

We're also questioned. Investigators were very interested in the account given by Melanie's best friend,

and believe that Melanie may have either been targeted or may have been mistakenly targeted,

as her attackers may have believed she was someone else.

Helicopters, scent dogs, and search and rescue personnel, call through Newless Card,

looking for any sign of Melanie, but nothing could be found. It was as she had simply vanished.

There were a few reports of a girl matching Melanie's description, walking on the Armstrong

Street bridge across the Wabi River. The Wabi River has been searched by dive teams, but nothing was

ever found. Multiple searches were conducted, but so far the police have yet to find any evidence

of what happened to Melanie. Her mother, Selene, made a post of the Let's Work Together to find

Melanie FDA Facebook group in November 2020. Here's part of that post.

For many years, I felt that Melanie is no longer alive, and I know that finding the truth about

her disappearance will not change that. I'm not driven by justice, anger, or vengeance.

I'm a mother searching for a missing child, so I can give her the dignified memorial she deserves,

and enable my family to finally grieve, find closure, and heal.

You may not be able to bring Melanie back to life, but by providing the police with the

information needed to bring back her body, you can help me and my family begin to rebuild ours.

Also in the Facebook group, Selene and others have made numerous posts about Dennis LeVier,

who is a family friend. Three days after Melanie's disappearance,

Dennis made a chilling statement to Selene's mother who had been staying at the home for

birthday celebrations. According to the grandmother, which is Selene's mother,

Dennis came around to the house and was smoking a cigarette in the basement,

which is extremely out of character and something that Selene wouldn't have allowed.

Then, as Dennis smoked a cigarette, he chillingly told the grandmother that the person responsible

had to have been very strong. As previously mentioned, Melanie had taken self-defense classes and

she also loved ballet and other sports, so she was in good shape and strong for rage.

That wasn't the only chilling thing that Dennis said, though. He rolled up his sleeves and

showed the grandmother of fresh, deep, nail marks on his arm. This discovery sent shows through

the S.E.A. family, but Dennis played it off and told Selene and the family that Melanie had

done that to him while they were play fighting in the days before she disappeared.

Nobody in the S.E.A. family believed Dennis's version of events, and it later transpired that

Dennis was known to try and inappropriately talk to and engage with minors.

The scope of Melanie's case deserves a video of its own, and many theories come up in this case.

Unfortunately, Dennis passed away in 2016, taking any secrets he had with him to the grave.

Many people have came forward, claiming that Dennis had admitted to them that he had armed

Melanie, but these claims could never be substantiated. Selene believes that Dennis is the most

likely suspect in Melanie's disappearance, and while Dennis has now passed away, she believes

that someone out there has the right information to bring the right person to justice or what they

did to Melanie. There are many ins and outs in this case, and Selene has been the driving force

behind keeping her daughter's name in the media. She's created numerous posters, billboards,

and social media accounts to help keep her daughter's memory alive and to help bring her home.

1. August Rieger 18-year-old August Rieger had recently graduated from the

Class and School of Advanced Studies, and was even awarded the honor of being that year's valedictorian.

For August, life was just beginning, and the world was truly his oyster,

and he had earned himself a full scholarship at the University of Oklahoma.

Unfortunately, that summer was snatched away right from under the nose of August family,

and almost a decade later on, this case remains unsolved.

On June 16, 2013, August and his family took the trip of a lifetime to Ecuador to celebrate his

graduation. According to his parents, Chris and Randa, August had asked for a holiday to

Spanish-speaking country, as he wanted to practice his Spanish. His parents would later tell

news outlets that this was just the kind of person August is, always wanting to learn and improve,

so the family packed up their things and headed to Ecuador, not knowing the horrors that awaited

him. The family was staying in Bannos, central Ecuador, and were counting down the days until

their dream tour came around. The family had booked on to a three-day tour of the Amazon jungle,

something August was especially looking forward to. With time to spare, Chris, Randa, August,

and his siblings decided to take a hike on a trail close to their hotel. This would give them a

chance to experience the natural beauty that Ecuador asked to offer while still being close to

the civilization. Unfortunately, despite being close to their hotel and other populated areas,

the unthinkable happened. As the family went along the trail, August sped ahead and told them that he

would wait for them at the top. The rest of the family followed behind, expecting to see August

smiling and waiting for them, but he was nowhere to be found. His family looked around for him,

but saw nothing. They decided to head back to the hotel, thinking that August had possibly

gone there, maybe taking another route down, but as they reached their room, there was still no

sign of August. The regor family waited, hoping that August would return. Hours later, when that

didn't transpire, they reported their son missing to the Ecuadorian authorities,

and 24 hours after he was last seen. A search party was established to find the missing teen.

The governor's office of the province where the regors were staying made a statement in the wake

of August disappearance, reassuring the media and US citizens watching the story closely that

all efforts were being made to find the young man. Part of the statement read,

a special team of local authorities, including members of the armed forces, police,

fire department, and some volunteers were deployed in order to find Mr. Rieger.

Hours slowly turned into days, and there was still no word from August.

His family waited patiently for any updates or leads us to their son's whereabouts.

August missing person poster was distributed across Ecuador, and locals kept a close eye out for him.

10 days later, a bizarre sighting was reported to the Ecuadorian authorities.

According to an ABC News article written on June 26, 2013, there had been a possible sighting

of August. The article goes on to say, a high school valedictorian from Oklahoma who has been missing

for more than a week in Ecuador might have been spotted on the back of a truck headed toward the

Amazon rainforest, the family told ABC News. This wouldn't be the only sighting of August though,

and as the months passed, more sightings would be called into the authorities.

Christy Rieger, August 7, spoke to KO-CO-5 News in 2014, telling the station that authorities

had received several credible sightings of August over the last few weeks, as if the family

held out hope that August was still out there on harm. This sentiment was also echoed on the

Facebook page by August Rieger, which is run by his family. On May 7, 2014, the post was made to

the Facebook page reading, we are excited to report that there have been a few recent sightings of

August. We are grateful for the Ecuadorian citizens who are helping out of the goodness of their

hearts. We will bring him home. Underneath this post, a comment was also added by the page that reads,

no more info for now. The investigation is obviously active on the move, sharing too much could

compromise that. Since then, the Ecuadorian authorities and August family have continued to look

for him, and his family have praised the authorities and the people of Ecuador.

posters with August face were widely distributed, and it's a case that many Ecuadorians will

not forget. Years of past since August vanished, and his family still holds out hope that he is

alive somewhere. No ransom demands have ever been made, and the authorities cannot figure out why

anyone would have wanted to kidnap August. There's also the theory that August fell over the

edge while on the hike, but his remains have never been recovered to support this theory.

August family runs the Find August Rieger Facebook page, along with making media appearances

to keep his story in the public eye. August Rieger was last seen on June 16, 2013, in the mountains of

Bannos and Ecuador. Photos showing possible alterations in August's appearance are available

via the Facebook page, alternatively, you can contact your nearest US Embassy or Consulate Office.

Well folks, there you have it. What do you think of these strange and creepy disappearances?

I look forward to hearing your comments. Please keep it friendly and respectful.

Meanwhile, be good to yourselves and each other. Stay safe out there.

As for me, I'll see you a little farther on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you next time.

And welcome back to this morning. A search is underway for a missing duck hunter in Manitouac.

Authorities were called to the Manitouac River off of West Quarry Road. We have some breaking news

right now at noon. A search is underway at clandening Lake Marina for two missing hunters.

Still missing tonight, a 61-year-old hunter who disappeared in the Pekos wilderness near Santa

face Sunday. The search for a missing hunter in Laurel County continues.

Search for two missing duck hunters along the Mississippi River is about to stretch into a second week.

The race is on now to find a missing hunter in Sullivan County. More than 80 first responders

are combing the woods right now.

There are innumerable cases of people who seemingly vanish out in the wilds of our world,

and it sadly makes sense that some people should go missing here.

Their place is on earth far from human civilization, with treacherous terrain,

wild animals, and the propensity to confuse and bewilder those who find themselves unprepared.

We're simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet, an alarming number of these

disappearances lead behind mysterious clues and snatch away even those of us who are well-versed

in the outdoors and experienced at being within these unpredictable realms.

Here we'll look at five of the more eerie disappearances of experienced hunters and the most

seasoned survivalists who have gone out into the wilderness and simply never returned.

Number five, Zeb Hughes and Gunner Palmer.

21-year-old Zeb Hughes and 16-year-old Gunner Palmer disappeared on Thursday, December 3, 2020,

while duck hunting on the Mississippi River in Warren County, Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Zeb and Gunner set out from the lethano landing boat dock on what was supposed to be a typical day

of duck hunting. River conditions were normal when they hit the water,

and despite the chilly 46-degree temperature, the weather was fair.

The Mississippi River aptly named the mighty Mississippi

sustains over 260 species of fish with some tipping the scales at over 300 pounds.

The river is 11 miles across and its widest point and its currents are known to be unpredictable,

sometimes even under the best circumstances.

Zeb and Gunner's boat was found capsized on December 4, the day after the two were officially

reported missing. Had the mighty Mississippi turned treacherous too quickly for the young men to

react? Along with the pair's boat, searchers found most of the belongings that were inside,

but there was no sign of either Zeb or Gunner, or of the dog that was traveling with them that day.

The search went on over the river and the banks for more than a week, with nothing being

found by the dozens of search teams specialized aircraft or drones. Sometimes during the second week,

the search efforts were re-focused to cover solely the water.

Does this mean that Zeb and Gunner never made it out of the water?

While we hope that's not the case for them, searching the river is necessary in the effort

to locate them and it's no small task. On December 24, 2020, Warren County Sheriff Martin

told WLBT, three on your side news reporters, that Christmas Day would not slow down the search

for Zeb and Gunner. Sheriff Martin assured that himself and his deputies would be on the water

all day Christmas Day, continuing the efforts. He's quoted in the WLBT interview as saying,

I think the fact that we have multiple bodies in a moving body of water that's 100 feet deep,

just adds to the situation. How could two young and agile people who were used to being outdoors

be so caught off guard by the river? Or is there something other than the mighty

Mississippi to blame for their disappearance? Number four, James P. Rambone Jr.

51-year-old James P. Rambone Jr. disappeared on September 3rd, 2003,

near the County Episcopal River south of Kuchawak, Quebec, Canada. James was out on a hunting trip

with three friends. The four hunters were knowledgeable about the outdoors and they were experiencing

it hunting. James hoped to land a big one that day and while the group was out he spotted a large

caribou. He took off into the wilderness hoping to intercept the bull. James never returned to the

group from that chase. The other hunters searched and found James for less an orange vest and his

camera both near a caribou carcass. There was no sight of his gun, no clothing scraps,

or tracking dogs, but they all failed to locate him. It was as if James had completely vanished.

No evidence was found that suggested James had succumbed to the elements,

predatory animals, or even an accident. Pam still holds out hope that James, an epileptic,

is still alive. She says, for all we know, Jim might have developed amnesia caused by severe seizure.

He might be with someone who doesn't know who he is and doesn't realize that he is missing.

Something's just not right. You don't just vanish.

No. 3. Alan Ties

52-year-old Alan Ties disappeared in November 2003 while on vacation. A timey plan has been

collecting rocks and hunting mule deer in the Upper Missouri River Breaks area of Montana.

Alan checked into his hotel without issue on November 22 and paid cash for part of his stay in

advance. Nothing was unusual until November 24, his schedule checkout date, when there was simply

no sign of him. Most of his things were still in the motel room except for his hunting gear,

so it was assumed that he must have gone out hunting and never made it back.

Two days later, November 26, Alan was officially reported missing.

Authorities began looking for him quickly thereafter.

Alan stood five foot 10 inches tall and weighed 160 pounds. He was an avid outdoorsman with a good

reputation at his job and was known for being a responsible employee. It wouldn't have been

like him to miss an appointed checkout time at a motel. It was especially strange when an aircraft

search team located his abandoned truck in a wilderness area along the Missouri River, but there

was no sign of Alan himself. Strangely, all they found in his truck was an empty rifle case and his

boots, which had been left behind and placed side by side. What happened to Alan and why did he go

out into the woods without his boots? No trace has ever been found and he was declared legally dead in

2011. Number two, Jeremy Childress. 31-year-old Jeremy Childress disappeared on October 17, 2004

from Trask Mountain in Telemont County, Oregon, while on an elk hunting excursion accompanied by

co-worker Shane Louis and his son Shane Jr. On October 17, the three guys had spent the day out

hunting and enjoying the great outdoors. Once back at camp, they decided to make a trip down the

mountain to gather firewood for the night. The trio hopped in the pickup truck, driven by Shane

and made their way down the winding roads collecting firewood. Traveling back toward camp,

they encountered a dense fog that surprised and disoriented them. Driving through it while trying

to find their campsite was seemingly getting them nowhere and after a while Jeremy told his

companions that he believed the camp was beyond a particular stand of trees they passed.

Shane agreed to pull over and let Jeremy investigate further. Shane and his son got out with Jeremy

and hiked a little ways into the fog, but ultimately stayed behind while Jeremy went ahead solo to

confirm where the camp was nearby. The intention was for Jeremy to return soon thereafter with news.

As Jeremy melted into the thick fog, nobody could have known that it would be the last time anyone

would see him again. Shane and his son got back to the truck and waited about an hour, but when

Jeremy didn't turn up, they went for help. When the fog finally lifted, an extensive very wide

search and rescue was conducted, but there was no trace of Jeremy other than a discarded

gun wrapper of his favorite brand. Despite the extensive efforts put forth in subsequent searches

by Jeremy's wife Kristen and dozens of other volunteers, no other signs of Jeremy were ever found.

The seemingly odd clue was uncovered though. A passerby witness who claims to have heard

three shots fired in rapid succession on the evening Jeremy disappeared, and although this is

a traditional SOS signal, it is unclear if the occurrence is connected to Jeremy's case,

and it is also said that his friends did not hear the shots. As of December 12, 2004, more than

a four mile radius from where he was last seen had been searched by many teams with still no signs

coming up. Jeremy's family is understandably devastated by his disappearance and his three-year-old

daughter Kelsey asked her mom over and over in the days thereafter when her daddy was coming home.

Number one, Barnett Berry Zeldin. 74-year-old Barnett Berry Zeldin disappeared on Monday,

October 7, 2013. After telling his wife he was planning to put some bait at a deer stand near

Chatsworth in the Warren Grove recreation area in Barnett, New Jersey. That's the last time

Berry was seen. He took his 92 Chevy Blazer to the recreation area where he would likely have

begun checking his usual hunting and lure spots. He carried corn and molasses to put out for the deer

and had brought his dog along for good company. They left Berry's maze landing home and drove to

a section of the Warren Grove recreation area. Now the Warren Grove recreation area in New Jersey

is mostly undeveloped wilderness, perfect for hiking, bird-watching, hunting and the like.

The 617 acre is just west of the town of Warren Grove. The land was acquired from the National

Park Service in 1972 as part of their federal lands to parks program. Access to the recreation area

is limited to several sand roads and old woods roads throughout the area, but there are currently

no marked burials. Berry frequed in this wilderness and was a strong outdoorsman,

avid hunter and capable survivalist. The weather at the time of Berry's disappearance was overcast,

damp and chilly, both during the night and daytime. Temperatures were around 66 degrees Fahrenheit

with winds gusting to 30 miles per hour. Even so, Berry was equipped with the necessary skills

to handle the conditions. When Berry didn't come home or call Monday night, his wife,

Janet Zelda, wasn't really worried at first because he was known to make spontaneous hunting trips

that sometimes lasted for several days. Janet said, I didn't think much of it. I figured

maybe he got a deer and he was looking for it. He's very independent. She began calling his cell

phone every hour by Tuesday and into Wednesday, but all she got was this voicemail. On Thursday,

October 10th, she tried to drive to the Audubon Gun Club where Berry was a member, but she couldn't

find it. The next day, she tried again this time finding it and got several members of the club

to go out looking for Berry. Wilbur Swales, president of the Audubon Gun Club, said,

a couple of us went out Friday night looking for him and we couldn't find nothing. Then we went

out Saturday, meeting three other members of the club and we found his automobile. Berry's 1992

blazer was parked at Warren Grove. The keys were still in the ignition with the windows rolled down,

cell phone on the dashboard and his dog Taffy, still there waiting for him, having survived four

days alone by eating the corn and molasses meant for the deer. Janet speculated of the dog,

he must have left her to check on the deer stand or to put some apples out and there was a medical

emergency. She does what she's told so he must have told her to stay put. New Jersey State Police

and State Park Police searched for Berry using health doctors and canine teams.

Search efforts originally concentrated on the Warren Grove recreation area but expanded closer

to the mass river state forest also in New Jersey. By Sunday afternoon, October 13th,

six days after Berry's disappearance, the authorities called off the official search and rescue

operation. Even so, volunteers with Burlington County canine search and rescue went back into

the recreation area the following Tuesday and then planned a larger search the following weekend.

Janet said at the time, I know he's good in the woods, that's why I never worry. He knows what he's

doing. He's a very avid hunter. He probably could survive out there indefinitely. Berry's daughter-in-law,

Debbie Zeldin said, it's like he just vanished. His car was found with his dog. She's okay but we're

afraid of what might have happened because he loved that dog. He would have never left her

anywhere if he wasn't going to be right back. In November 2013, Berry's wife Janet said,

every weekend and sometimes during the week, there's someone out looking for him. There have been

different rescuers, state troopers, neighbors, friends and the fire department. In two weeks,

the shotgun hunters will be going out and there should be about a thousand of them pushing for deer.

Between the newspaper coverage, TV and word of mouth, everyone out there will know he's missing

and will look for him. As time goes by, I guess I get less hopeful. What made Berry leave his dog

taffy in the blazer with his cell phone and belongings? Clearly, he only planned to be away for

a short time. Did he suffer a stroke or heart attack because of his age and perhaps falling to

the dense undergrowth in the area? Was he attacked by a large predatory animal? None of his gear

or other belongings were ever located, only as truck, its contents and his dog.

So friends, what do you think about these cases? How did all these wilderness experienced people

go missing? Some with no clues ever to be uncovered at all? These mysterious disappearances are

only five of a frightening number of missing person cases. If you have a case you would like to see

featured, please email us at National Park Ministries YT at gmail.com. Until we meet again, take care

of yourselves and each other. I'm Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.

Hello friends. Today we're going to be talking about five wilderness disappearances where

mysterious disembodied Chrysler help were heard by search and rescue teams, but the person couldn't

be located. You can imagine how these disembodied Chrysler help would have baffled search and rescue

teams when they couldn't locate the missing person who had vanished in the wilderness. Likewise,
