Shelton Sanders

All witnesses purchase 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 and 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 get into right now and true crime. But first I do want to take a minute to talk about the absolute horrific devastation that has transpired in of course, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee. There are so many people that are unaccounted for and missing, And I found myself just scrolling one of the pages that was set up and there are so many people that are missing. So I just can't even imagine what everyone is going through. It is literal and utter devastation, and I'm trying to share as many of them as I can can. There are a lot that have been found, which is good. There is really no communication coming out of those states because they are all pretty much not really able to communicate with the outside world. WI Fi's down, obviously, there is so much going on Cell towers are down. So it has been really sad and really tragic to see the aftermath of what this hurricane did. It destroyed so much, so. Many towns, so many people's lives, they're homes, just absolute utter devastations. So I'm going to keep sharing any of the people who are missing that I can that have been posted by family and friends on these different pages. I'm going to keep trying to share because the more we can get the names and the faces out there, the better. And our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that is affected by this horrific tragedy at this time, Okay, let's switch gears. We're going to go into right now in true crime. We have a few things to talk about. This has been quite the week in the true crime world. So first things first, there was a girl missing from South Carolina Peddleton, South Carolina, named Jessica Barnes. She was twenty years old and she was. Last seen allegedly in early August and then was eventually reported missing by her mom on September tenth. Her husband, who is also younger, twenty twenty one, Brandon Barnes, has been very much vocal and saying he misses. Her, he loves her, he doesn't where she is. He basically didn't report her missing because he said in the past, if she had left, she would come back, so he just assumed that that would happen this time. And he even sat down and did like interviews and made like really broody Facebook posts, and he just very much gave me the Chris Watts vibe. And I didn't buy it for a second. And he's twenty one, so he's not a very intelligent person because his brain hasn't fully developed yet. And although they were married, he was dating this woman named Victoria Tippett and she lived in the home. And there was also a twenty year old named Kendall Mimes who had a child with Brandon. This is a whole hot mess triangle, love triangle gone wrong, essentially. So they announced today I'm recording this on a Wednesday, that they found the remains of Jessica in a wooded area and determined that the cause of death was strangulation asphyxiation and the cause of death was homicide, and you guessed it, in no shock. They arrested twenty one year old Brandon Barnes, the husband of Jessica Barnes for her murder, and they arrested the other two sidekicks, Victoria Tippett and Kendall Mimes, with basically helping Brandon dispose of Jessica's body after the fact. And I known all of these people are young. I know that their brains aren't fully developed yet. I understand that. But if a man ever comes to you, and I'm talking to you, ladies, if a man ever comes to you and says I just killed somebody, I want you to help me take their body and hide it, you immediately call the cops and you say, hell, no, I'm not doing that. Do not throw your life away for a man who can't even rub together two Nichols because he doesn't have a job and doesn't support himself. And somebody that will take the life of somebody that he wants claimed to love is not going to do any less when it comes to you in your relationship with him. No matter what he tells you, no matter what he promises you, he's lying to you. And now these two women are likely going to go to jail for a long long time because they believed what Brandon Barnes had to tell them. When it's obvious. He was playing all sides. He's married to one, dating the other, has a baby with another. What are you doing? It's sad and tragic, and I can't imagine Jessica's family and how they're feeling right now knowing that the person that was supposed to be her protector and closest to her is the one that took her life. It's horrible, it's tragic, and it has to stop. Stuff like this can't keep happening. I will continue to keep you guys updated on this. They all three have been arrested and charged and they as of right now, will have no bond. So that is refreshing and what needs to happen because regardless of if you take place in a crime, if you help after the fact, you are just as guilty and you're tampering with evidence and that is not acceptable and not okay, and you deserve to be punished for that. But like I said, I will keep you guys updated on all of that. Okay, Switching gears. ELC Myrdle, he's been a hot minute since we've heard his name, since we've heard from him. He had filed an appeal in regard to his financials and all of that. There's a lot that goes into it. He's obviously in prison for murder, he's in prison for the whole financials of it all, and those sentences go hand in hand. He is not ever going to see the light of day again, no matter what happens with the murder conviction, if it does happen to get overturned, he still will not see the light of day because they denied any type of appeal situation for the financials, So regardless of that, he is going to spend the rest of his days in prison for the financials at least and probably likely for the murder of. His wife and son. So we'll keep you updated. Like I said, ELC. Murda will not go down without a fight. And I do have a feeling there is going to be more, because there's always more when you're dealing with a former South Carolina solicitor who literally ran the roost in South Carolina and things have drastically changed for him in his life. But like I said, I will keep you guys updated. Okay, next order of business, Huge news in the cold case world aka what I do, what I report on. They have officially identified with the help of familial DNA and DNA as a whole through authorm Labs in the Woodlands, Texas. Shout out to them. They have identified the person who abducted and likely murdered little Sweet Morgan Nick in nineteen ninety five from Alma, Arkansas. She was only six years old when she was abducted. So this has all come out in the last like forty eight hours. But there was a. Strand of what they thought could be Morgan Nick's hair that belonged to a man named Billy Jack Lynx, And they sent this hair off for testing and it came back that the hair belonged to a member of Morgan's family, and they used a reference sample from Morgan's mother, and they said that there was a first degree relationship between the hair sample that was found and the hair from Morgan's mom. Now, this guy was not new on the raidar. He was questioned in the nineteen ninety five disappearance and he had attempted to abduct an eleven year old girl only twelve weeks after Morgan disappeared. He passed away in two thousand at seventy two years old, and he was in fact in state prison when he died where he should have been because he was a predator. So they officially reopened Morgan's case in twenty twenty and they began kind of searching for the pickup truck that he owned at that time. It was a read pickup truck. They were able to find it with a new owner, and this new owner allowed them to search it and they ended up vacuuming the truck and they took all the evidence that they had and sent it to. The FBI for safekeeping. And then in twenty twenty three, police found that there was a new development and DNA analysis in Texas that did not require that the hair had to have a root on it in order to test it, and that lab Authrum, like I said earlier, tested it and they were officially able to say that that hair did belong to Morgan, and that proves that Morgan had been in that truck, meaning that he is the one who likely abducted her and likely murdered her. Of course, Morgan is still missing. Remains have never been found for her, and there might be someone out there that knows where she is that has been keeping the secret for this predatory man. And there might be somebody that can help lead detectives to her remains to give her family closure at. Least they know at the end of the day. And that is because of this advancing DNA technology. And I think it is so cool that it is advancing in such a big way now that it is going to be impossible soon enough for these predators and these horrific humans to get away with things like this. You're not going to be able to get away with abducting a child and murdering a child. You're not going to be able to get away with it. Because things are advancing. They were able to determine that this hair belonged to Morgan and there wasn't even a root on the hair, and that is evidence that has been in that truck since nineteen ninety five. That is freaking huge. Nineteen ninety five to twenty twenty. In my world, it's ten years, but that is a big jump of time. And the fact that that hair was still intact and they were able to use it for DNA is amazing and fascinating to me. So that is the latest on the Morgan A case. If the one person out there that might know where this horrible person that kidnapped her where he could have put her. That is the last missing piece of this puzzle that we need to officially say this case is no longer cold because Morgan is still missing. Like I said, her remains have never been found. She hasn't been seen or heard from since that day in nineteen ninety five. So again, that is the reason I do this podcast to spread the message, share the stories of these people that seemingly their stories have gotten lost kind of in the fold of things, and when it happens such a long time ago, it's no longer at the forefront of people's minds, and. That is why I do what I do. But if there's anything breaking in that case, I will cantinue. To keep you guys updated. But we have had so many breaking things in cold cases in this last year, and I can only imagine it's just going to become more and more and more with all of these advances in DNA technology. And it makes me very excited and very eager for the future because I think a lot of these families are finally going to get the answers that they have wanted for such a long time. So with all of that being said, we are going to go ahead and get started with today's episode. All right, guys, this week we are jumping into a brand new unsolved case. Today, I am going to be telling you about a case that was brought to my attention at crime Con in twenty twenty three that took place in Orlando, Florida. So I've talked about it in the past. There's this big, massive, like cork board wall that's at crime Con and you can put flyers up there. If you have a missing loved one an unsolved homicide that you want to draw attention to, you can put your loved ones flyer up there. So this is one of the flyers I saw on the wall at crime Con, and then later this same flyer would flash on the screen before different sessions started. And I remember at that point in time, I was trying to collect different information for different cases, and I happened to take a picture of this one and I added this person's case to my list. So today we're going to be telling that story. So with all of that being said, today I am going to be talking about the missing person's case and presumed death of a twenty five year old USC student named Shelton Sanders in two thousand and one. Shelton was twenty five years old and was living with his family at the family's Rembert, South Carolina home. He would commute to and from Columbia daily for work and to attend USC where he went to college. He went missing and hasn't been seen or heard from. Sense we are going to dive into his story. Shelton John Sanders was born to his parents, William and Peggy Sanders. He had three siblings, one sister and two brothers. Shelton was very much a role model for his other siblings. As a child, he was in Boy Scouts and he very much loved the outdoors. He was self motivated, very. Kind, and definitely the type of guy who would give you the shirt off of his back. He was also a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, and he also loved to cook. He played percussion in his high school's marching band, and then once he graduated high school in nineteen ninety four, he decided that he was going to attend the University of South Carolina and his plan was to major in administrative information management. But once he got to school, he very much thrived and he loved working with computers and technology, and he became the go to person for all things technology based. So then he kind of had planned on going into computer programming after he had finished his degree, and he also worked as a computer systems manager in Columbia where he attended school. He was set to graduate in December of two thousand and one with his degree in Admin Information Management and from there he would go on to pursue his computer programming dreams, but sadly he wouldn't get that chance. So that's going to take us to the date of June nineteenth of two thousand and one. This is where Shelton's story starts. So Shelton lived with his family and the commute from where the family lived to USC was about forty miles and he would make that track daily to and from Now this particular day, Shelton's car was not working. It was in the shop getting some repairs done, so he borrowed his younger brothers nineteen eighty eight white Regencymobile to make the travel to USC for college and for work. So that morning he attended one of his classes and then he would continue on to go to work. He ended up getting off of work between one and one thirty PM, and he made two transactions that were traceable and verified. One of them was at a bank around one point fifty two he withdrew forty dollars and then the other was at a Pigy wigly between four and five pm. So between seven thirty and eight pm, Shelton went to a friend's house. Now, the reason that Shelton went to this person's house is because Shelton was in the process of helping plan a bachelor party for one of his good friends. He was the best man, so he was very much involved in the planning of this bachelor party. So he was supposed to meet a friend because they were going to go look at different hotels so they could book room for this bachelor party that was coming up in July. But for whatever reason, on this particular day. Even though they had these plans, this friend canceled last minute. So there was another mutual friend named Mark Richardson that had ended up showing up at the house. So because this other friend of Shelton's had canceled, Mark went ahead and volunteer to go with Shelton to book the hotel rooms. So they had planned on going in separate cars to book the rooms, but Shelton very much knew that he needed to get going and get things moving because he needed to get his brother's car home to him because he was borrowing his brother's car. So they ended up driving from this friend's house separately, and they stopped by Mark's house because Mark wanted to change out of his work clothes. So from there, as Mark is inside changing his clothes, Shelton goes ahead and contacts his family around eight forty five PM to let them know what was going on and that he would be coming home a little bit later than expected with the car. Then, in the midst of that, Mark ends up losing his phone and had asked Shelton to call it, which Shelton did. He ended up finding the phone, but that call was at nine oh seven PM and that was the last official activity on Shelton's phone. So Mark and Shelton then traveled to three different hotels. Around nine p thirty they arrived at the Wesley Inn and Suites, Then around nine fifty one they arrived at Embassy Suites, and then finally between ten and ten forty five they arrived at Residence Inn. Now the Residence Inn is the place that they decided to book a room so all of this, including Shelton's presence, is proved by credit card statements and security camera footage from the hotel. Once they left there. This is according to Mark Richardson. They went back to Mark's house between eleven and eleven thirty, So Mark had asked Shelton to come inside and keep hanging out, and Shelton said that he had to leave and go home. He needed to return the car to his brother. So, according to Mark, Shelton left and that is the last time anyone has seen or heard from Shelton Sanders. So the next morning rolls around and Shelton's mom gets a call from his work saying Shelton didn't show up. Do you know where he is? And she, of course did not. Different people in Shelton's family tried to get in contact with him, but the phone calls that they made went straight to voicemail, which either means the phone is turned off or the battery has died. As we all know now, this was so out of the ordinary for Shelton. He was a great communicator, especially when it came to his family. He wasn't the type to run off or go off of the grid and not let his family know what was going on, and I think it's pretty evident just from earlier when Shelton had communicated with his family in regards to being home later than originally expected with his brother's car. This wasn't just a guy who got up and left his home and everything he knew. It just didn't make any sense. Something was definitely wrong. So from there, his family decided to file a missing persions report, and investigators watched Shelton's cell phone activity and his bank accounts in the days following his disappearance to see if there was any money being withdrawn from anything, any phone calls coming in, any phone calls coming out, but pretty much all activity was halted. Police ended up searching the area where he would typically be traveling frequently to go from home to USC in hopes that maybe Shelton had broken down or his car had maybe been in an accident, So they were searching all of these areas hoping that he or his car would be found. They also searched some other local highways. Now, rumors began swirling around town, and for whatever reason, some tips came in that Shelton's body had been dumped in some local rivers and then there was also some rumors that Shelton potentially was targeted because his father was a magistrate and handled bond hearings, but none of this ever came to be fact. It was all just small town rumors, people talking no validity to any of this necessarily, so pretty much everything was a dead end. There was no leads into what happened to Shelton. Now, there was a report from a neighbor of Mark Richardson that said that they heard three gunshots that evening from the Richardson home between eleven and eleven thirty PM, which is the exact same timeframe that Mark said that Shelton had dropped him off. The neighbor, upon hearing this, came outside and asked Mark what was going on? Is everything okay? And Mark said, yes, everything's fine. It's just my car is backfiring, so that's what you heard. So from there, the Sanders family ended up taking things kind of into their own hands and they raised a twenty thousand dollars reward being offered for information leading to Shelton's whereabouts. So when Shelton. First went missing, in the midst of everything, Shelton's dad, William, was very much trying to figure out what happened, trying to get a timeline laid out and figured out. And again it was a different time. Cell phones aren't what they are today. Things are a lot different, but they still did have that technology. So Shelton's dad, William, had reached out to a lot of Shelton's friends, friends that were in that friend group that was in the process of planning this bachelor party, and he was just pretty much trying to contact anybody that had had contact with him that day or leading up to his disappearance, and everyone was cooperative except for one, and that is Mark Richardson. So in the days following Shelton going missing, Mark had basically communicated with other friends and said that he didn't really even like Shelton. He wasn't friends with him in the first. Place, despite the fact that they did have this group of mutual friends and they were all in this process of planning a bachelor party. But it's kind of weird that he says that because he is the one that technically volunteered himself to go with Shelton to map out these different hotels that they wanted to go to for the bachelor party. So none of that makes a whole lot of sense. So, like I said, Shelton's dad is at this point reaching out to everybody. And initially when he contacted Mark, Mark was in incredibly rude, cursing at him on the phone, just not being cooperative, not offering up any information. And then suddenly, after multiple. Attempts made by the Sanders family, Shelton's sister said that the next day he just decided that he was going to be respectful. Yes, mister Sanders, I'll do whatever I can to help you, which was just such a change of pace. He was very up and down, all over the place with his behavior. So Mark essentially said that Shelton had dropped him off at his house between eleven and eleven thirty. On June nineteenth. Now there was a police officer present during this conversation, and the police officer said that Mark was very nervous and kept asking if he was a suspect. And Mark also changed a story a lot. He one time would say that they didn't write together, that they wrote separately, and then another time he would say that they did write together. So his story was very much all over the place as to who rode with who, if they were writing separately, he was just all over the place. So, according to an interview done for a podcast with Shelton's sister, according to some people that were mutual friends with Mark and Shelton, they said that Mark had started acting very strange in nineteen ninety nine and two thousand when he first started working for a drilling company, and these friends said that he was paranoid about things, and he was hearing voices in his head about killing his friends, and he was just all over the place, obviously struggling with some type of mental health dilemma. That is typically the age that that comes. Out, and it's very common in men for things like that to happen and to manifest at that age. So he was obviously struggling with something, and it was very evident to those that surrounded him. In two thousand and one, investigators executed a search warrant in Mark Richardson's home and they were able to find that Mark had indeed sold a thirty eight revolver shortly after Shelton went missing. They also found a forty five caliber gun and they also found a knife. So even though they had a few little things that might lead them to think that Mark could potentially possibly be involved. There wasn't really a whole lot going on in this case, and it pretty much went cold for about two years until April twenty sixth of two thousand and three, which is almost two years after Shelton went missing, there was a noise disturbance that was called in at a department complex not far from where Shelton had last been seen. So investigators police officers get to the scene and it is there that they find Shelton's brothers oldsmobile two years just about The car was backed into a parking spot facing the apartment building, and investigators thought that it had definitely been there for a while. The tires were flat, the gas and. The oil were almost completely empty, and there was a huge oil stain underneath of the car that was all dried up. So there is a big chance that this car had been at this complex since Shelton went missing, and it was only discovered when they got this noise complaint and went to this particular complex, So there wasn't any evidence found on the car, and unfortunately, it seems that when law enforcement first went to the scene, before they realized what was going on, they potentially could have touched the car, which would have eliminated any possibility of getting evidence from underneath the door handles or any part of the car. And the fact that the car had been found was not released by law enforcement. They kind of kept that top secret. So with this development, Mark very much did remain the top suspect, although there wasn't anything substantial to connect him to the case. There was some cell phone activity from Mark that didn't quite match up with what he had told investigators about Shelton dropping him off. Between eleven and eleven thirty, his cell phone records show that he had made several calls two hours after this, and he had called needing a ride home from a different area of town. And this different area of town was close to where Shelton's car was found two years after the fact. Coincidence, it could be. So Mark ended up telling this story essentially trying to establish an alibi, and the story is wild. So he tells the story about how Shelton dropped him off at home and he decided from there that he was going to go do some laundry at the laundrymat, and then while he was at the laundrymat, he met this friend of his who was a prostitute, and he propositioned her for some services and she obliged, so they got into her car and then at some point Mark upset her and she ended up kicking him out of the car, and that is when he called for a ride from some family members, and that is why he was in that area of town. So that is what Mark said. That is Mark's quote unquote alibi for why his cell phone was pinging off of those towers and why. Those calls were on his call records. But once the car was found, investigators decided that they wanted to reinterview all the witnesses from the original case, and Mark was one of them. And during this questioning requestioning of Mark, Mark asked if there is such a thing as an accidental death in South Carolina, and the officer said yes, and the Sanders family just wants to have answers. They want an explanation as to what happened. And then Mark proceeded to ask how could he explain getting rid of a body like Holy Molly. When I was going through the research on this case and looking at everything, I never, in my wildest dreams expected that that half confession would have ever happened in this case. I don't even know what to make of that. It was such a wild turn. So shortly after he said that, he kind of recanted that and kind of took it back essentially. So in October of two thousand and five, investigators went ahead and got the go ahead for another search warrant, and they ended up confiscating Mark's laptop which contained numerous searches for Shelton's name, and he basically just said that he was trying to keep up with Shelton's case. And they also ended up doing a DNA swab on Mark, and they also did a luminal test at Mark's house. So with this, Mark Richardson, who was thirty at the time, was then arrested and charged with the murder of Shelton Sanders. But they did not have a body, and their case was very, very circumstantial. They obviously had something to kind of go off of. They were let in this direction for a reason, and they very much wanted to argue about the mental health issues that Mark was allegedly having. The neighbor who was a witness to the gunshots and his cell phone pinging that night not far from where Shelton's car would later be found, and they also very much were relying on the fact that he kind of made that half confession asking investigators about accidentally killing someone or trying to explain away hiding a body, but like I said, he quickly took that statement back. There was also the fact that. Mark had given so many different stories and accounts of what happened that night, and there was so much discrepancy between. His stories over the years. The defense, however, would argue that the case against Mark was very weak and they didn't have a body, so there wasn't even any proof that a crime had actually transpired, and they said that this in itself was enough reasonable doubt to acquit. So the trial ended in April of two thousand and eight, and the jury was deadlocked and wasn't able to come to a decision, so it was therefore declared a mistrial, which happens a lot in these circumstantial cases where you don't have actual, definitive proof that a a crime even occurred, and b that the defendant is responsible or involved in any way, shape or form. I do feel like the prosecution had quite a bit against Mark Richardson, but it wasn't necessarily enough, and there was that reasonable doubt there. And as we know, the justice system is flawed. It can be argued that the justice system can be broken, but you can't just accuse somebody of something horrific and throw them in jail for the rest of their life if there is that reasonable doubt. So locally, Shelton's case did get a fair amount of attention, but there wasn't a great deal of attention on Shelton's case, and once the trial happened and it was declared a mistrial, all of that attention, even locally, definitely fizzled out. So it wasn't until twenty eighteen when Shelton's youngest sister, Ravarias Sanders, made it her mission to get her brother's story out there. She was only eleven at the time that her brother disappeared, but she loves her brother. She misses her brother, and she has nothing but great and fond memories of and she very much wants to fight for justice for him and fight to get answers. So she has made it her mission to find out what happened to him. She has made appearances at crime con and is doing everything she can to share Shelton's story, which is exactly why I came across his story because of her presence at crime con and posting his flyer and everything that she's done to try to keep his name and his face out there. I feel it is so so. Important when you're dealing with a case like this where it doesn't really get a lot of attention, national attention, to never stop sharing, always talking about your family member and trying to get their name and their face out there because it is so so important. Billboards have also been placed around South Carolina that have also drawn attention to Shelton's case. There is currently a fifty eight thousand dollars cash reward offered to anyone that has information leading to the discovery of Shelton's remains. The family just wants answers and they want justice for Shelton. They are not coming from a place of they want revenge and they want this person, whoever this person is that harmed Shelton to suffer. They just want to know what happened to Shelton. And I think that there is a person out there that has answers, and I think that. Probably they every day of their. Lives think about coming forward and saying what they know, but they know that there's going to be consequences to that. But for the family to not know what happened to Shelton, he is presumed deceased. They do not believe that he is alive, and that has to be the most tormenting thing in the world. To not only not know what happened, but also not have resolution, not have remains, not have a way to have a proper funeral and burial for your loved one. The not knowing and the questioning every single day has got to be maddening. And for the person that knows what happened, it is so simple just to come forward and say what you know and give the family that respect and resolution that they so desperately need and deserve, and give Shelton that respect too, because he was just twenty five years old. He was getting ready to start the rest of his life. He was, from all aspects, a very nice guy, very gentle very kind, very self motivated, worked hard, did all of the things that he was supposed to be doing. He was out of the goodness of his heart planning a bachelor party for one of his friends, and then he just vanished into thin air, and the last person that was with him isn't really provided many answers as to what happened, and that is all that the family wants and all that the family needs is those answers. So if you do have information in regards to Shelton's disappearance, you can call eight zero three four two seven four to two zero nine or email finding Shelton Sanders at gmail dot com. Of course, you can remain anonymous, and there is a fifty thousand dollars cash reward that the family has raised on their own in Shelton's case. No questions asked, so as always, check out my Instagram and Facebook pages, Primetime Crime Pod on Instagram and Primetime Crime with a K on Facebook. I am going to be posting photos associated with Shelton's case. I will be posting photos of Shelton himself and any other ones associated For my research for this case, I did use a few different articles those will always be referenced in the show notes. And I listen to the Unresolved podcast that is titled Shelton Sanders where the host did an interview with Lvarias Sanders, who is Shelton's sister and that is how I was kind of able to put together this timeline and kind of what happened. So I did want to give credit to that podcast as well, and as always, sharing these episodes so so important. Sharing the Instagram reels that I do regarding each case so important. You never know if you're going to strike something in someone that's going. To trigger a memory or trigger something that. They have buried and they realize that, oh my gosh, I have this missing piece to the puzzle. That's the really cool thing about social media is you can share a case that is, say in Shelton's case, from South Carolina, and it can reach people all over the world. It car reach people in other countries. It is really really cool to see all of the different areas that my podcast reaches and the different people that are listening. I think that is such a cool thing, and I think that's exactly why sharing these unsolved cases is so necessary. When I first started my podcast, I kind of wanted to do unsolved cases, but I know that people don't really like them. They don't like the unresolved, But that is exactly why we have to talk about them, because we need to be sharing these stories. So there is an ending. If we don't talk about it and we don't try to figure out what happened and put it out there, there's never going to be an ending. And a lot of the cases I've covered since I've started my podcast, there has been resolution, and I think that is a really cool thing to even remotely be a part of, even though it's like indirectly part of it. It's really cool. So I appreciate you guys so much for listening. And getting involved in these stories and sharing these episodes and interacting on social media. I very much appreciate it. I will see you guys next week for a brand new unsolved case, and I hope you guys have a fantastic. Weekend and I will see you then. Bye.
