1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: I just got a text from someone. I don't want

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: to say who, but they sent me a picture. I

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: want to show you guys a picture. It's a torn

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: piece of paper. You see it? I see it. Yep.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a picture of a torn piece of paper and

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: it says letter to John Jay and Rich. It's all

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: wrinkled up and notebook paper and it says, dear John,

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Jay and Rich, my name is Alex. And it goes

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: on it says a bunch of stuff that's hard to

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: read and has a phone number. And they asked the

11
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: person that texts me said these people from Tucsoon. This

12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,720

Speaker 1: call him? And I don't know what they want? But

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:48,519

Speaker 4: It does very much sound.

00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: It's ripped, it's in pieces.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: Somebody written it and college ruled paper from school.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600

00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Not really? But is is someone going to read the letter?

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I can't read it? Do you know well you wrote it?

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember what you said? And how long ago

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: do you write it?

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: I think I may have written that letter sometime in uh.

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: I think it was June and uh it was around

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: the time I had a friend who was who was

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: lost and eventually rescued along those.

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Lines, Oh, okay.

43
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: And and okay, so the cut to the chase. I

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: had a best friend who I've known for about like

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: a year and a half. And what happened was she

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: was out hiking and she had fallen like a couple

47
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: of feet down a canyon. But she survived, but she

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: was pretty much stranded there for about like two days,

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: almost three days, and on the final day they rescued

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: her and she was treated. And all that really happened

51
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: was like she had a broken arm, so she had

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: to recover from that, and then we lived together for

53
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: a while, but then we decided to you know, go

54
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: in different directions after a while, after realizing, you know,

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: maybe this wasn't gonna work. And now my best friend

56
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: is gone. Like, uh, I I don't know if I

57
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: like want to say outright, but she passed away from

58
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: self harm. Heartbreaking. Yeah, We've known each other for like

59
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: a long while, but I haven't heard from her from

60
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: like months before it happened. And it was only up

61
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: until a mutual friend of mine notified me about a

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: news article that talked about because her story of her

63
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: rescue from the canyon down in like the Sedona area

64
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: went went kind of viral. I mean, it made the news,

65
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: and I think her family made sure that that this

66
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: story was going around so that way, hopefully she was found.

67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: Thankfully she was found. But yeah, this friend was going

68
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: through a really really rough time and never really got

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: any closure about like why she did it. But I

70
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: remember I wrote a letter to you guys about like maybe, uh,

71
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, send her some support. I was gonna, like

72
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: I was gonna grant her. I was gonna give her

73
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: like a Christmas wish. Well, unfortunately she's not around, so

74
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: unfortunately we can't really get to that.

75
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Oh I just I just looked up her story. Yeah,

76
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: it's all over the news. Yeah, Alba, Yeah, she was missing.

77
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: That she was found two months after Miracle Can to

78
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: rescue former Americo. But a woman dies tragically. Wow, so

79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: you wrote us a letter before she died. Yes, I'm

80
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: telling you this is weird. The thing is you emailed us.

81
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: This letter is a handwritten letter, and it's torn in half.

82
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: It's so weird. And it's a screenshot of it, and

83
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: it looks like you're asking for help with a car

84
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm sorry.

85
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: I don't remember talking about a car, to be honest.

86
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it on the letter because it's half written.

87
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: It says she was severely injured, traumatized, she was not

88
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: able to work to the incident, She does not know

89
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: when or how something, that her vehicles are in bad

90
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: condition and need repair. Her home also needs critical repairs,

91
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: as she may need to sell it to stay afloat.

92
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: We can set up a personal and private interview with

93
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: you if you can help us. Thank you in advance.

94
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: Please contact me if you're able to help, and it's

95
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: just sincerely Alex Hernandez.

96
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: Boy, that's gonna feel so bad that you guys decided

97
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: to not hang out together anymore and then you lose

98
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: contact and then just the worst of the worst you

99
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: hear about. That's gotta that's gotta feel really bad.

100
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm honestly still, like you know, going through the process,

101
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: Like I'm still I'm still kind of recovering, Like I'm

102
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: It's not that I'm sure I'm still trying to make

103
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: what sense of what happened or what went wrong, it's

104
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: that like this was one this was a one of

105
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: a kind friend. Yeah, and uh and and I'll even

106
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: admit I did have feelings for her at some point,

107
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: but we decided to kind of, you know, keep things

108
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: level and just be best friends. But she was a

109
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: different kind of friend. She's the kind of friend that

110
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: that you would really want in your life, Like the

111
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: one who's like always so happy to see you, who

112
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: lights up at your presence, and when when they're happy,

113
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: literally the entire room just lights up. Like she just

114
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: had this beaming energy that just was felt by everybody.

115
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, about that last part of the letter, Yeah,

116
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: she had a car that she hasn't like used in

117
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: a while and that was in bad condition. And the

118
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: house that she lived in also had a few problems.

119
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: I can't remember exactly what they were at the top

120
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: of my head, but I don't even know if that

121
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: house is still intact because I haven't really been to

122
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: that house since I moved out of there.

123
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: So she took her life like two days after being rescued.

124
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: No, she was rescued sometime in mid in mid June,

125
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: and she took her life sometime in August.

126
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: If you know why.

127
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: Uh. I only caught a glimpse of what she has

128
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: been going through, but I never quite got a full picture.

129
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: She had been facing demons that only she could understand,

130
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: and she had scars left from a childhood that she

131
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: kept under lock and key, and rocky relationship with her family.

132
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We're just getting your note, your your letter now.

133
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: And somehow it didn't come to the radio station. It

134
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: went somewhere else, and that person that got it sent

135
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: me a picture of it. But it is not an email.

136
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: It is a handwritten letter from you, which is a

137
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: mystery since you said you didn't do that. But anyway, sorry,

138
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: we're coming coming a little late, man, but thanks for

139
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: thinking of us.

140
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I was happy to reach out to

141
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: you guys and hopes that maybe, uh it would I

142
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: just a little more hope to the time she was around,

143
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: because she wasn't working at the time and she was

144
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: just kind of lost. But I was there helping her

145
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: recover at least I tried to be there to help

146
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: her recover.

147
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Well.

148
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, thank you guys so much. I'm happy

149
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: you guys eventually got the letter. But I don't remember

150
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: sending it in handwritten form.

151
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: That's weird, I know, but I'm looking at it. It's handwritten,

152
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: like you know what. I can email it to you

153
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: so you get a picture of it to see.

154
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: Maybe that's how stressed out.

155
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Who's Philip?

156
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: Oh, Philip is my father.

157
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: Could he have done it?

158
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:43,760
