Maggie Long

Warning. This episode contains graphic crime scene detail and may be sensitive for some listeners. All witnesses, purses of interest, and suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Welcome to Primetime Crime. I'm your host, Kylie. Let's talk right now on true crime, and then together we are going to work on warming up some cold cases. Let's go. Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of Primetime Crime. It's Kylie. We are going to jump into right now and true crime because we have a lot to talk about. Things have been happening this week and I don't know what is going on all right. First things first, they have finally set a trial date in the Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen. His trial is going to begin on May thirteenth. His team recently said that they wanted a speedy trial. So that is exactly what is happening. So May thirteenth it is. It's officially happening. Next, I want to talk about what the heck is going on in Nashville. So there is a college kid named Riley Strain. So. Riley is twenty two years old. He was in Nashville visiting from Missouri for a fraternity conference with his Delta fraternity, and he has gone missing out of Nashville. So Riley and his friends were at Luke Bryan's bar, which is called Luke's thirty two Bridge, and around nine thirty pm that night, they escorted him out of the bar because he had been overserved. Now, so he was escorted out his friends I think also might have been overserved as well. I'm not really one hundred percent sure on that what was going on exactly, but I do know that his friends had to stay behind because they had to pay their bill, so they were separated from Riley, which rule number one of all things is never separate from your group. But they were basically forced apart, and in the midst of them waiting to pay their checks, I guess it was really crowded. It took a while Riley went missing. So there has been some video surveillance around Nashville of Riley. One of them you can kind of see him like hunched over a little bit, like he looks like he might be hurt. And there's another video of him so fall over drunk that he can't even walk. He's like stumbling. Now he is twenty two years old. He is a college kid. He is on a little vacation in Nashville. He is going to go out and he's going to drink. But these bars that have these liquor licenses have a responsibility to themselves, their job everyone not to overserve. And it was nine thirty and he had been overserved. And I get it, like things do happen. Some people can just alcohol and it turns them into a completely different person adrinks than other people that can down ten drinks. But whatever happened at that bar, it definitely should not have transpired as Riley getting kicked out and just being out on the street by himself or out on the street without them calling, you know, law enforcement to get like a public intoxication or whatever the case may be. So that is the story regarding Riley right now. He unfortunately has not been seen or heard from since. One of his friends that was in the bar called him shortly after he left and he said, I'm on my way back to the hotel and his phone last pinged on the exact opposite side of town from the hotel at ten fifteen pm that night, which was last Friday night. So his family is obviously wanting to try to find him and figure out what happened. He is very close with his family and does not go days without speaking with them, so this has been obviously really hard on them. And anything could have happened to'iley. He could have gotten like alcohol poisoning and gotten really really sick, and no one's around to help him. No one knows who he is. There are so many things that could have happened because he was kicked out. They wouldn't let his friend go with him, and he was so drunk that he couldn't even stand up or walk. He never should have been allowed to leave that bar. And I think that there are definitely going to be lessons learned from this, And like at the end of the day, mistakes happen. Humans are going to make mistakes in every single job ever, and it doesn't mean that you're bad people or you did it intentionally. It just means that you need to take that lesson and learn from it and not try to deflect and cover the mistakes that were made. He should not have been allowed to leave, and if he was allowed to leave, he should have had a friend with him, or they should have called law enforcement to try to make sure that the situation was handled in the right way, to make sure that he got back where he needed to go safely to sleep it off. So there is another guy named Austin Turner that was allegedly struck by a security guard in February in Nashville at Tin Roof and this caused him to this consciousness and he ended up in a coma and then he ended up dying from his injuries in March. So the security guard has been charged with aggravated assault and they are of course continuing their investigation into what happened. Austin's parents very much describe Austin as non confrontational and mild mannered, and they're all just trying to piece together what happened exactly. So Austin and his friends were at the Tin Roof bar in Nashville and they all decided to leave a little bit after midnight, and Austin was left outside waiting for an uber and then at some point decided he wanted to go back in. They don't really know why he wanted to go back in. They think that maybe his cell phone died and he was looking for a way to charge his cell phone, and when he tried to go back in, he was denied reentry. And then there's two witnesses that said that they saw Austin get pushed out of the entryway to the bar, and then he turned around and walked away from the bar. They said that he wasn't trying to pick a fight with anybody. He was walking away from the entryway, no kind of aggression was being shown. And then the witnesses said that the bouncer, and this is the one that has been arrested, came out of the entryway very quickly ran towards Austin, swinging wildly and then ended up hitting Austin in the head and Austin fell to the ground and lost consciousness and he was just basically out cold. He developed a subdural hematoma and ended up passing away. So awful, horrible, never should have happened. They said that Austin was walking away with his back turned when he was attacked. And there is no way that that was a provoked incident. It didn't seem just from what the witnesses are saying that Austin was belligerent, screaming, acting up like I don't know how the security officers at these bars deal with all the drunk people. But this wasn't a situation where Austin was like overly intoxicated and swinging and fighting and punching and hitting. He literally was trying to get back in, was to night entry and then left and was attacked. So that's a whole other thing, Nashville. It's hoppen right now and not in a good way. So I'm going to keep you guys updated on both of those stories because they're both tragic and neither one of them should have ever occurred. Moving on, a judge has officially declared Harmon and Montgomery legally dead at the request of Harmony's mom and sad tragic. Like I said in previous episodes, harmonies remains still have not been found to this day. Her father, Adam Montgomery, has been charged with her murder and tampering with evidence and obviously concealing evidence for multiple multiple years. A really sad and tragic story. Now we're going to talk about one of my least favorite humans on planet Earth, Scott Peterson. He is back in court to fight, of course, his two thousand and four murder conviction. The Los Angeles Innocence Project has taken on his case that is a complete and one hundred percent separate entity from the actual innocence project that we know and love. Scott is now sporting a ponytail and like extremely greasy hair, which it's not like he looks like he has been through it in prison, like he's been in jail for a long time. He's been in prison for twenty years? Can you even believe that? But he has definitely been through it and he has seen some shit behind bars, I can guarantee you. So they have filed a motion for DNA testing that they want to DNA test a van that has a mattress which would appear to be bloodstains on it. So it'll definitely be interesting to see what comes out with this mattress from this van because there has been you know, rumors world in the past about like there was these robbers and they killed Lacy and they could have killed her in the van and that's why there's blood. So it's like a whole thing. The one thing that always bothered me very much with this case because I do think Scott Peterson is guilty and I think he is a horrible, horrible human. But Scott's also not smart. He's a really stupid guy. Stupid criminals, that's why they get caught. But what always bothered me about it is there was no forensics. There was no DNA left behind, no trace of anything in the house. There was just nothing. And that really always bothered me because I feel like Scott is so dumb, and how was he able to get rid of all of the evidence Because it was a very circumstantial case, like probably one of the first cases that was all circumstantial that ended up landing in him getting sentenced and he was even on death row, Like this was a big deal, And I just don't think he's that smart to be able to get rid of all the DNA evidence. So I want to know, like what happened, Like how did he do it? So I'm really interested to see like this new evidence. I am not on team Scott is innocent at all, not even one percent of that, and I do definitely think that he's guilty, But I am very interested to see what this new evidence is because I feel like it's just never ending and I want to know more. I want to learn all of the things. But at the end of the day, he's probably still going to be guilty. So I will definitely keep you guys updated on all of this. I do believe that is it for right now in true crime. It has been a lot this week. There's been a lot to try to keep up with, and I'm trying to navigate through all of it and make make sure I keep you guys updated the best I can. So we are going to go ahead and get started with today's episode. Okay, we are jumping into a new cold case. Today. We are going to be talking about the murder of seventeen year old high school senior Maggie Long. As always, we are going to start talking a little bit about who Maggie was and where she was leading up to the time of her horrific murder. Maggie Long was born on December seventeenth of nineteen ninety nine. She was one of four siblings. She had two sisters and a brother. Maggie's parents were of Chinese descent and had grown up in a Chinese community in North Vietnam. They eventually fled to the US during the Vietnam War, and they eventually settled in Bailey, Colorado, which is where Maggie ultimately would lose her life. Maggie's parents were pretty well known and respected in this community. They owned and operated a few different Chinese restaurants in the area. They also had a liquor store, so they were very involved in their community and also had some investment in some local real estate, and they were pretty well off. They made their money. They worked very hard, they owned these different businesses, and they had a lot to show for it. They lived on a large piece of land in a scenic part of Colorado, and although they were one of very few Asian American families in their area and their community, Maggie's sisters don't ever recall that they were really discriminated against. Everybody just kind of embraced them into their community and they were a part of the community just as much as everyone else. Maggie was seventeen years old and was a senior at Plate Canyon High School. She was about one of three hundred students that were attending that school at the time, and she was getting ready to graduate in spring, so she was very popular amongst her classmates. She was a really good student and she was involved in a lot of extracurriculars, and her sister Connie is quoted as saying she was a very involved student. She had so many interests and just loved trying new things and being part of as much of life as she could. Her teachers and friends alike remember Maggie as being very genuine, but also ambitious and majestic, and she did a lot. She had a high interest in theater, and she loved live performances, and she was just always involving herself in all of these extracurriculars as much as she could. Pretty Much everyone says that everyone loved Maggie, and Maggie loved everyone. She was just one of those people that have the infectious personality that everyone wanted to be around. So we are going to fast forward to Friday, December one of twenty seventeen. There was going to be a concert that was being held at Maggie's school, and she had planned to go to this concert. She was a member, like I said, of the local theater department, and she had helped arranged for some local bands to be playing at this concert, so she was in charge of doing stuff with that, and she was also in charge of the VIP lounge for this particular event, so she had very much planned on being there that night after school that day, she went home and she had told her friends that she was going to go pick up some cookies and some water for those people who are going to be attending the event, and she also wanted to change into some different clothes for that night, so she left school around three thirty pm and began her drive home. She lived about eleven miles away, but for whatever reason, Maggie never returned back to that school, even though it was important to her she had planned on being there. She knew that she was going home to change clothes and pick up some cookies and water, she never returned to the school, so a couple hours later, her friend started to grow concern because Maggie was a pretty responsible kid, and when she said she was going to do something, she was one that would follow through and do it. So Maggie's friends grew concerned and they started calling her phone to try to figure out where Maggie was. Maggie's older sister, Connie, also had gone to the school because she was going to support her sister at this concert, and pretty much right away, Connie was greeted by some of Maggie's friends who had expressed concerned that Maggie hadn't returned, and right away Connie said, she just got a really bad feeling, and she is being quoted as to saying, right away, I had a gut feeling something was it right. Maggie is very responsible and would never have flaked on something like this. So of course immediately Connie knew like something wasn't right, like we have to go find where Maggie is. Something has happened to her. She could be hurt somewhere. She might have been in an accident. God knows what happened. So Connie begins heading back towards where the family's home is, and she was hoping that she was going to be finding Maggie when she got home. And at the same time as Connie is heading towards there, a nine to one one call was placed from the Long family home. So, like I said, the Long family lived in a very rural area. It was pretty much off the beaten path. It was very scenic, and the property was set several hundred feet back from Deer Creek Road along County Road forty three. So this nine to one one call came in from the Long family home home just after seven pm by this tenant who was living in the attic of the home, and this person called and was claiming that there were people downstairs arguing and felt like they were potentially fighting, and the caller said, I don't It was a guy that called, I don't feel safe leaving the attic and something is definitely going on, and he also was in the mist as well as of texting Connie letting her know, letting Connie know that there's something going on downstairs, there's people fighting and I don't feel safe up here. Connie gets to the house shortly thereafter, at approximately seven twenty, and when she gets to the house, she sees emergency vehicles outside of the home. There is fire rescue, there is police. They had arrived pretty much surely after the nine to one one call that was made by the tenant that was living in the attic. And there was also a call that came in because there was a report that there was a fire that had broken out inside of the Long family home. So we have a tenant in the attic who hears fighting downstairs. We now have a fire inside of the Long family home. We have Maggie who never returned to the school after leaving to go home. So we have a lot surrounding this case, and seemingly out of nowhere. Maggie was only seventeen years old, So whatever happened inside of that home, it was obvious that it had been maybe a targeted attack, maybe it was a random attack, but regardless, Maggie, for whatever reason, was the target. This seventeen year old, innocent high school kid. Maggie's vehicle is at the house, but when they initially did the search of inside, they had reports that there was nobody that was found inside of the home. However, that would change in the days to come. So at this point, Maggie is missing because her cards at the house, they did not find her inside, so they went ahead a judge issued a gag order. They had this house fire, they had a missing Maggie, and they didn't really understand what her disappearance had to do with this fire that randomly broke out. And then we have the guy in the attics saying that there was a fight downstairs. So everyone is trying to piece this together and figure out what is going on. On December first, Maggie's sisters decided to post on social media that they were looking for Maggie. Maggie was missing, and police then said that they were investigating the different communications that Maggie had after she had left school that afternoon from around two thirty to eight pm. But investigators didn't really let on much else as to if they thought that Maggie's disappearance was related to the fire, if they thought that Maggie had intentionally set the fire to throw off the paths of law enforcement so she could just willingly disappear. They weren't really being very forthcoming about what kind of investigation they were looking towards, if it was a true missing person, if they thought Maggie had been kidnapped, They really didn't let anything out as to what they were thinking. So law enforcement starts kind of investigating the fire, and they do investigate it as an arson, and they thought that whatever had happened, that this fire had been intentionally set in multiple different areas of the house, and they thought that it had been set to cover up other crimes that had happened in the home. They thought that robbery might have been a motive and the people decided to cover up the robbery with this fire, And police weren't very forthcoming with anything else that they had found at the crime scene on the scene of the arson. They never commented on if any human remains were found inside. The family was still at this point actively searching for Maggie, assuming that Maggie was in fact missing. But on December second, the Park County Sheriff's Office announced that they were working a crime scene, which is the scene of the Long family home, and they said that they weren't planning to organize any search parties for Maggie. So at this point, I think authorities knew Maggie was no longer living. They had evidence that Maggie was no longer living, but I don't feel like they entirely shared all of this information with the family, which I think is an interesting tactic. I don't really know why they did that, because obviously Maggie's sisters, her parents, they want to know what happened to Maggie and where she is, and the fact that they didn't know for days that Maggie was to see East is insane to me. So on December third, they the Sheriff's office posted on Facebook and the message read quote, due to the serious nature of this investigation, we asked that you keep the Long family in your prayers. We are not able to release any further information at this time. End quote. They also went on to say on a news station Denver seven that same day, quote, We're not ruling anything in or anything out. We're in full investigation, investigation, investigative mode. We're as perplexed as anyone. Anything's possible. We're trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle. And that's the only thing I can say is it's a work in progress. End quote. So initially, when the crime scene first occurred and there was this fire, there was emergency vehicles there, they said that no human remains were found at the scene. But a week later, the Park County Sheriff's office announced that the remains of Maggie Long had been discovered in the fire at her parents' home, and at this point they were investigating her death as a homicide. So I don't know how it took them a week to figure this out, because her sisters were looking for her and actively posting on social media that they were in search of Maggie, and the whole time, Maggie had been deceased inside of that home. So the crime scene and all of the details that go into the crime scene were kept very very very tight lipped by law enforcement. They did believe that there was some type of altercation that had taken place between Maggie and the people that attacked her, but they really didn't come forward with too much information, and I think they probably did that in order to protect the integrity of the case. But Maggie's case still remains unsold. And then we're going to go into more about what happened to Maggie and all of the other things. So the first weekend of December twenty seventeen, the law enforcement officials issued a BOLO, which is a be on the lookout, and it was issued to the press for a young white male that was likely heavily armed. And they said that this was issued accidentally, but they thought that it was aimed at a possible suspect in the case. And the suspect was a white male in his twenties. He had been seen driving a late nineties or early two thousands model minivan that was a light in color. They thought that this person had possibly suffered some burns to his arms or face, but there wasn't really any determination as to how authorities came to this conclusion. And then they said that the BOLO essentially was issued in error and it was supposed to be sent to other police agencies in the area, and they rescinded it hours later. So a lot of people speculate this is the main suspect in Maggie's killing, but they said no, JK. It was accidentally sent out. I don't know how things like this happen. Obviously, this person probably is connected to Maggie's case, given the fact that they had burns likely on their body from the fire that they started. It's really interesting that this whole thing happened. So in the following days, police announced that there were several items that were missing from the scene that this is why they thought that robbery was potentially the motive. There was a nine millimeter burretta handgun, an AK forty seven rifle, two thousand rounds of ammunition, a green gun safe, multiple jade figurines, and gasoline that was taken from the Long family residence. So they theorized that maybe Maggie had returned home who was in there in the process of burglarizing the home stealing these specific items, and they therefore had to kill Maggie because she was a witness and she potentially could have identified who they were. So, like in all investigations, police start close to home. They obviously want to start with Maggie's close friends, her family, and this tenant that was upstairs that made the initial nine one one call. So they collect DNA from all of these people likely to eliminate them as suspects. And they were able to eliminate all of them right off the bat, especially the upstairs tenant, who I feel like very much could have been looked at as suspect numero uno. They eliminated him pretty much right off the bat. Months later, the FBI came forward and said that they thought there was a high probability that whoever had done this to Maggie had probably come into contact with her, and it was somebody that they thought lived in the community. They thought that it was somebody that knew the area well and potentially could have even known that the Long family lived there, and they were wealthy, and they were targeted for that reason. Police would later come out and say that they had two vehicles of interest sought in connection with the arson and murder of Maggie Long, and they were a Chevy astro Van and a Ford Ranger truck, but they did not necessarily reveal at that time how the vehicles were connected to the crime. Were they seen driving away, were they seen driving two? Were they seen following Maggie. We really don't know the information in regards to that. Maggie's family is completely devastated by the loss of Maggie, a seventeen year old high school senior who had literally her life in front of her. The best days of her life were ahead of her. They issued a letter to the public and a family friend shared it on social media on December ninth, which was one week after Maggie had been tragically killed. I'm going to read the letter. The fear of death takes away the joy of living. Our beloved sister, daughter, granddaughter, cousin, niece, friend, and classmate. Maggie was a joy in all of our lives, as many of you are aware, On the night of Friday, December first, twenty seventeen, Maggie moved on from this world. Our hearts are broken and this loss has been especially significant knowing the impact of that our Maggie had on this small mountain community. We thank everyone in Bailey as well of those in the communities near us and far that Maggie's life has touched for their support and love shared. Our family continues to work with the Park County Sheriff's Office and extends extended agencies. We want to thank them for their tremendous efforts. We are all committed to seeking justice for Maggie. To the Bailey community. Please report any suspicious vehicles, individuals, or activities along County Road forty three in Bailey, Colorado on December first of twenty seventeen to the Investigator tip line at three oh three two three nine four to two four three. To those who have respected our privacy and will continue to respect our privacy as we mourn, we are grateful. In the coming days, we will have arrangements for a celebration of life for Maggie and will make final We'll make announcements as those plans are finalized. Thank you to everyone for sharing your strength and kind thoughts with us. The Long family awful, sad, tragic, This poor family having to not only navigate the death or their daughter and their sister and their friend, but also navigate the fact that it's a actual targeted homicidal attack on poor Maggie who did nothing other than try to go home to get water and cookies for an event that she had planned. Just horrible. I can't even imagine their trauma and grief, and also their fear thinking are these people going to come back for us? Because I think that's a real fear when you have a situation like this where it seems that it was maybe a targeted type attack, or at least target the targeted in the way of they didn't have to kill Maggie. Why whatever reason they had for killing her, they didn't have to kill her. She wasn't doing anything wrong but going into her own home to get cookies and water and change her clothes. Maggie's family decides to leave the Bailey, Colorado area, and they moved to Denver, and they definitely were struggling. Her parents were struggling. They essentially ended up retiring from the restaurant business, and Connie told the Colorado Public Radio that her parents' retirement from the restaurant industry business was kind of in the making, but Maggie's death really capsulated that process. The night she died, they stopped working and they did not return to the restaurant. It's been a huge change in both of my parents. I don't think they'll ever truly heal from the death of our sister. Again, this is something a tragedy that happened that completely uprooted and disrupted everyone's lives. When Maggie was murdered, her parents felt like they could not go on and continue working their restaurant business, and that's a really, really sad thing. They I can't even imagine that they could go on. But not only did they lose their daughter, but they also lost their livelihood and their business on the very same night that they lost their daughter. So tragically, whoever took Maggie's life took so much from the long family. So investigators continue to do their due diligence to try to figure out what happened to Maggie who potentially could be involved, but they do ask that the family keeps quiet about the investigation. And the police eventually issued a press release in February of twenty eighteen, and they thought at that point that whoever their suspects were at this point probably had already fled the area of Bailey Collar and they could honestly be anywhere because there was a lot of media coverage regarding this case, especially locally if they had seen that they were going to high tail at the heck Auta Bailey so they wouldn't get caught. So for a while we didn't really hear a whole lot about the case. But then in May of twenty eighteen, police announced that they were under the impression that Maggie's home had been intentionally targeted by these different suspects offenders, and they ended up releasing a sketch of a person possibly connected to the case, and they called him Suspect number one. He was a young, young white male and he was reportedly seen at the crime scene at the same time that Maggie was killed. And weeks later, in June of twenty eighteen, the Park County investigators it ended up that they were looking into a possible connection to a case that was in Missouri, and they had similar things. Two young male suspects had broken into a house with the intention of stealing different firearms and there was a young woman inside and they had set this young woman on fire. The woman did end up surviving and they were able to catch the suspects and they were able to get their DNA, but they tried to link the DNA from these two suspects and the suspects in Maggie's case, and the DNA that was at the scene of the Long family home was not the same DNA as these two suspects, So things kind of got pretty quiet in this case. In twenty nineteen, they started to release more information in regards to what actually happened to Maggie, because up to this point they didn't really come forward with details, just that Maggie had been killed in this arson house fire, and they thought robbery was the motive, but they didn't have any other information that they were forthcoming with in order to protect the integrity of the investigation, of course, so in twenty nineteen they launched a task force which had the name Maggie Long Task Force, and they were going to be coming forward with new information in regards to what actually happened to Maggie, releasing information about the case that had not been made public yet. They did release the detail that Maggie had in fact been burned alive inside of that home, and that is a horrible, horrible, horrible way to die, especially as a young kid. She was seventeen in her own home, which is supposed to be her safe space. To be targeted like that and then burned alive in your own home. I cannot even imagine the fear that went through Maggie's mind as everything was happening. They also disclosed information of at least two of the suspects that they thought were involved in the crime. There was also details of a third suspect that would come out, and they also said that one of the suspects had possibly sustained some injuries that night, And again we go back to that bolo that was accidentally put out that very well could have been that same suspect that had the burns on the face, hands or arms. Investigators began to theorize that the home was targeted for a robbery and said that the brutal, brutal murder of Maggie was a crime of opportunity and it's exactly what it sounds like. Maggie had gone home, probably interrupted a robbery in progress, and for whatever reason, they decided that they were going to kill Maggie to cover up their crime. They also do think that the suspects were in the home for a substantial amount of time, and they thought that during this time, Maggie was held captive. They eventually left and started the fire as they left to kill Maggie and cause damages inside of the home enough so nothing could be identified and they could cover up their tracks. Obviously, by this time, the suspects probably have moved out of the area. They have likely changed their appearances, they've sold their vehicles, and they have tried to distance themselves from this crime as much as possible. But I want to go back to the yelling that the tenant who lived in the attic said that he heard, was this yelling between the different suspects in the case, like they were trying to figure out, what are we going to do? This girl is here, what should we do? And you know, one was like gung ho, like we've got to, you know, take care of her. We've got a killer, and the other ones didn't want to. It's interesting to kind of see those dynamics and think about, like what the conversation was, because you do see this a lot because they didn't plan I don't think they planned on Maggie being there or Maggie interrupting, so they kind of had to make on the spot decision. And whoever the mastermind behind this was the lead person if there was three of them, there's a likelihood that the other people involved didn't necessarily want to go through with the murder of Maggie. But there was a lead guy in charge who was pressing, like, this is what we're doing. So was that the argument that the tenant heard was Maggie heard to be arguing. I can't imagine Maggie would argue with these three individuals who are there to take from her family and harm her. I'm sure she was terrified and probably couldn't even process what was going on enough to argue necessarily back and forth with these guys. So, going back to the timeline, I feel like it's important Maggie went home around three point thirty. Her home was not too far from the high school, so she likely would have arrived home around four, But the nine one one call didn't occur until seven pm, So there was three hours of time that Maggie was unaccounted for. And these three hours could have been the time that she was in the house with these men because she interrupted a robbery in progress and they were trying to figure out, what are we going to do with her now that she's here, How are we going to cover our tracks, So the sketches of all three men have been made public. Suspect one appears to be a white male, average build, short hair, narrow eyes, and a large nose, ears, and lips. Suspect two he has a larger build, messier hair that is kept a little bit shaggy, and in the sketch it is underneath a baseball hat. And he has larger, rounder eyes, and he has a large, flat looking nose. Suspect three is thin with a long, narrow face, and similar to Suspect two, he has shaggy hair that he he keeps longer and it creeps over his ears and down near his eyes. He has large ears and a big, protruding chin. So these are the sketches. I'm going to be sharing them on my Instagram and Facebook pages. They also made mention of a potential fourth subject, but they didn't suspect Sorry, but they didn't release any information about this person other than the fact that they had longer hair. Could it be a female, could it be a male. We really don't know. So from there on out, things go pretty much quiet with this case. But in twenty twenty one, police announced that they made an arrest in a string of burglaries that had been targeting the homes of Asian American business owners in Colorado and Wyoming between January and July twenty nineteen. So they announced that they had arrested four suspects in total, three men and one woman. And these people were targeting the homes of Asian American business owners, primarily those that had owned restaurants and different nail salons, so they would essentially target these homes while the people were at work, and they stole approximately one point four million dollars worth of cash jewelry in that seven month time span. So they were able to connect these four to various crimes through cell phone records, and they arrested three of them in twenty twenty one, Carlos Flores Molina, Santiago Hoyas Gaviera, and Yenni Zoro Zoria rode As Flores. These are long complicated names. Don't come at me for my pronunciation. And the fourth guy is John Flora's Molina. He was not arrested because they thought that he had gone back to Colombia and they were not able to get to him in time. So there was theories out there that these four three's four could have been connected to Maggie's death. However, none of their other crimes that they had committed had included murdering anyone or doing anything other than robbing people, which is not nice, Like, don't rob people, especially targeting them because of their heritage and the fact that they were Asian American. Don't be bad people. Don't target business owners for any reason and steal from them. It is not right. Just don't do it. So there is no indication that they were involved in Maggie's murder necessarily, but it just seems like pretty coincidental that it happened in Colorado, and it was just a few years after the fact of Maggie being killed. In twenty twenty one, the FBI got involved in investigating Maggie's death, and they thought that they were potentially looking at a potential hate crime, and they wrote a statement to the new station CBS four and they said, quote, the FBI is investigating the murder of Maggie Long as a hate crime matter. A hate crime is a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by the individual's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity end quote. Maggie's family was pretty surprised by this because they had previously said that they didn't notice anyone in the city or area that they lived in Bailey, Colorado to ever treat them differently because they were Asian American. Their parents were very well known in the community. They had those different businesses, so they were a pretty well liked and respected family. So her family was pretty surprised to hear this, but they were hopeful that people are still looking into Maggie's case and it hasn't gone completely cold because there is these new revelations that are coming out. In twenty twenty two, a statement was released from Maggie's family. This is the fifth anniversary of her murder. They released the statement, quote, Maggie deserves justice. She was an irreplaceable, innocent soul with the majestic presence. She brought a joy to our family, her friends, and her community that will never be forgotten. Five years ago, she was horrifically murdered. We have endured an active investigation while processing the loss of our beloved Maggie. Our hope is that someone with information will come forward so those responsible for Maggie's death will be apprehended and held accountable. No other family should have to suffer such a senseless loss. Please help us attain justice and honor Maggie's infectious spirit and zest for life. We want her legacy to not be overshadowed by a tragedy. Help us restore Maggie's optimistic and loving image to the forefront of our memories. They offered a seventy five thousand dollars reward to anyone that will help lead authorities to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for Maggie's murder. And I say this all the time. One of the Park County sheriffs came forward and said that someone has the key piece of information that will lead to the arrest of those responsible for Maggie's murder. We ask the people be bold and come forward to share what they know to help us solve this case. That is the key. Somebody realizing that they know something that maybe they've buried it deep inside, maybe they've rationalized it over the years as that can't be what I think it is. That can't be the missing piece, But sometimes it is the missing piece. Somebody knows something. There is no way that three to four individuals go inside of a home they're not seen by anybody. They're not seen by anybody, and they are able to get inside, commit a robbery and then commit arson and a seventeen year old without anybody seeing anything. Somebody knows something, even if they don't realize they know something. Somebody saw something that day, and that is going to lead to the arrest and conviction of these people. Someone out there knows something in regards to what happened to Maggie. Whether it's somebody that is just innocent and was just passing by that day, or whether it's the person or persons who were involved themselves. Whoever this person is, they need to come forward and say what they know. Because someone knows something about what happened to Maggie. And this happened in twenty seventeen, which honestly doesn't seem like that long ago, but it was. It was a while ago, and this case still has gone cold. And the person that did this, the people that did this have done it before and they've gotten away with it, and they're gonna do it again because they get off on that thrill of getting away with it. So let's share Maggie's story. Maggie was an innocent girl in high school, had her whole life ahead of her, and she was taken by these horrific people who obviously wanted nothing other than to steal from the Long family because they were wealthy. They did have certain guns and AMMO in their home, and they were targeted for that reason. And that is sad and unfortunate and it never should have happened. Maggie was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and honestly, I can't even imagine what was going through her mind as all of this was happening. I'm sure she couldn't even process what was going on. So please share Maggie's story, get the word out there. This happened in Bailey, Colorado, December of twenty seventeen. I am going to be sharing some photos of Maggie on my Instagram and Facebook pages, as well as the composite sketches of the suspects. Share, Share, Share, Let's get the word out and let's get justice for Maggie and the Long family. They so desperately deserve it after all of this time. So I thank you guys as always, I appreciate each and every one of you, and I hope to see you guys next time for a brand new episode. Have a good one bye,
