Speaker 1: Solve Presents the Missing Babysitter Part two. Okay, listeners, does
Speaker 1: anyone have a system for breaking the pass code on
Speaker 1: someone's phone. I've been trying to open care isn't no?
Speaker 1: I keep getting locked out. It's weird to think that
Speaker 1: she was just here the other day watching TV with Richie,
Speaker 1: talking with Lisa, complaining about Elena. Now it just feels
Speaker 1: like there's an empty space. The only thing I have
Speaker 1: to remember her by is her diary. Maybe there's something
Speaker 1: in here that could tell me what happened. And who
Speaker 1: would strangle her? I mean, that's a really personal way
Speaker 1: to kill somebody. I'd have to look her in her
Speaker 1: eyes and watchers. Okay. A few weeks ago, Kara wrote
Speaker 1: that she went to Lena's and weird is Elena has
Speaker 1: seriously gone too far? Now for the last time, Lena,
Speaker 1: were you just bought out of my life? I'm not
Speaker 1: in your life? You really think I have nothing better
Speaker 1: to do? You are obsessed with me, and now you're
Speaker 1: trying to get Richie to break up with me, And
Speaker 1: how exactly am I doing that? I found this note
Speaker 1: under the windshield of his car. Ritchie, Kara is cheating
Speaker 1: on you? Signed a friend. You're lucky I found it
Speaker 1: before he did. I didn't write that he broke up
Speaker 1: with you five years ago. Get over it, Get over yourself.
Speaker 1: Did Elena suspect Carre was having an affair with Mr
Speaker 1: Bernard too? Did Lisa tell her? Or is there another guy? What?
Speaker 1: Did have you lost her mind? Hey? What did the
Speaker 1: police ask you? Do they have any leads? Did anything?
Speaker 1: The whole way back from the station, I was listening
Speaker 1: to your radio show. Oh what do you think? I think?
Speaker 1: Whoever hurt Kara, here's this? You could be next. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get yourself killed. Well I'm doing this all on
Speaker 1: my own. Okay, maybe someone listening will be able to help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: someone listening does want to help you. You were the
Speaker 1: only one who took this seriously. I brushed you off
Speaker 1: while my girlfriend was lying lying dead somewhere. So if
Speaker 1: you've got ideas, I'm in. Well. I do have some
Speaker 1: questions for the student Council vice president. Yes, I'll drive.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Snam, Richie, what's up? We just wanted to
Speaker 1: check on you. I'm doing okay. It must be so
Speaker 1: much harder for you, rich it is. It's got to
Speaker 1: be hard to lose a friend. I'm dealing with it. Sure,
Speaker 1: because you and Kara weren't really friends. We were friendly.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we be. Didn't Ritchie break up with you
Speaker 1: for Kara? Oh my god, I'm so tired of this story.
Speaker 1: It was in middle school. She's gone, Helena. We want
Speaker 1: to know if you had something to do with it.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't, Karen, I got along. Fine, Okay, you
Speaker 1: can go now. The thing is, Elena, I have Kara's diary.
Speaker 1: Whatever happened between you two doesn't sound like water under
Speaker 1: the bridge. Fine, we didn't get along, okay, but it
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to do with Richie. I have a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: He's older and has a job. He's real relationship material.
Speaker 1: What's your boyfriend do for work? He works in the
Speaker 1: restaurant industry. He delivers pizza, which is in the restaurant industry.
Speaker 1: Must have been tough, always coming in second place to Kara.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, second place? Sure? I mean Kara was valedictorian,
Speaker 1: president of student council, got all the best babysitting gigs,
Speaker 1: and yet I got my early acceptance letter from Columbia.
Speaker 1: So I guess coming in second to Kara really didn't
Speaker 1: wreck my life after all? Are we done here? Just
Speaker 1: one more thing? Why did you have Kara's phone? I
Speaker 1: found it in your bag when we were driving you home.
Speaker 1: Did I? I don't see how I could, except maybe
Speaker 1: she put it in my bag thinking it was hers
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Sure, yeah, I know that totally could have happened.
Speaker 1: Do you have it? I should probably give it to
Speaker 1: the police. Don't worry about it, we already did. They'll
Speaker 1: check out what's inside, see if there's any clues. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's good. Try her birthday. I did try my birthday.
Speaker 1: I did try her birth here. Okay, just to cover everything,
Speaker 1: I've already tried all the obvious numbers, and none of
Speaker 1: them are cares pass code. At least we bought ourselves
Speaker 1: some time telling Elena the police had it. Oh and
Speaker 1: we can still see stuff on the lock screen as
Speaker 1: it comes in. Carrol got a calendar alert. She was
Speaker 1: supposed to babysit for the Garcias again tonight. Maybe we
Speaker 1: should go talk to them. So how was school? I
Speaker 1: just heard you and tarrogate Elena like a seasoned pro.
Speaker 1: It's insulting that you're so bad at asking me questions. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to ask you about this.
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to tell you about it.
Speaker 1: Should I just turn on the radio? No, it's okay.
Speaker 1: My favorite shows in on right now. Anyway, you really
Speaker 1: like my show. I've been trying to avoid feeling anything
Speaker 1: since Sunday morning. You're investigating this. Snap me out of it.
Speaker 1: But I thought you didn't feel like anything was wrong
Speaker 1: at the time. Sometimes what people say they believe is
Speaker 1: actually what they're trying to make themselves believe. I didn't
Speaker 1: exactly want to think something bad happened to Kara, and
Speaker 1: then something did anyway, and I just feel untethered. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? She kept me grounded. Now I'm floating.
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Carol always supported me. She
Speaker 1: was the first person to tell me I could do
Speaker 1: something with science. Mom told you that you could. Parents
Speaker 1: don't count. They love you so much they think you
Speaker 1: can do anything. Kara didn't have to believe in me.
Speaker 1: She just it. We're here. I'll wait in the car.
Speaker 1: You're not coming in the Garcias are just going to
Speaker 1: give me those sad looks people have been giving me
Speaker 1: because of Karaiki. He's a break. Okay, Well, stay close
Speaker 1: in case there's danger. Sam, this is Maple. Kara was
Speaker 1: killed in Maple. I'll be right here, Lisa, Sam, What
Speaker 1: are you doing here? It's Miss Sam. Miss Sam. They
Speaker 1: call anyone older than ten ms or Mr Miss Lisa.
Speaker 1: Can we what at pizza? I told you the pizza
Speaker 1: place closes at eight? Why don't you go play in
Speaker 1: the other room while I talked to Miss Sam. Kara
Speaker 1: was supposed to babysit the Garcia kids tonight. Yeah, she was.
Speaker 1: Mr and Mrs Garcia couldn't cancel their plans, so they
Speaker 1: called me. So you're like their new babysitter now, I guess, uh,
Speaker 1: you must be so happy about that. Everyone knows the
Speaker 1: Garcia is pay well. Yeah, it's a good gig. You know,
Speaker 1: the kids are easy and you could really use the money.
Speaker 1: What are you getting at, Sam, Lisa? What's your secret?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Charas said, you accused her of spilling your
Speaker 1: secret to Mr Bernard. What didn't you want him to know?
Speaker 1: None of your business? Was it enough to kill over?
Speaker 1: Are you crazy? You haven't answered my question. Richie's in
Speaker 1: the car. If I say the word, he goes straight
Speaker 1: to the police. Fine, Jesus, my house isn't in the
Speaker 1: school district. What Our school has the best soccer team
Speaker 1: in the state. I needed to go there, but my
Speaker 1: house is outside the district limits, so I use a
Speaker 1: random address in town. Karen new and if she ran
Speaker 1: her mouth about it, I would have been expelled and
Speaker 1: have to go to another school with no team at all.
Speaker 1: Soccer is my ticket out of this stupid town. And
Speaker 1: you think she told Mr Bernard. All I know is
Speaker 1: that about a month ago, the school asked for a
Speaker 1: proof of residency out of the blue. She's the only
Speaker 1: one who knew about it, so you confront at her.
Speaker 1: I talked to her like people do, and trapped her
Speaker 1: in a bathroom. I was angry. Were you angry on Saturday? Too?
Speaker 1: I've got to go stop these kids from trashing the place.
Speaker 1: Go home, Sam and tell Richie whether he knows it
Speaker 1: or not, I was doing him a favor. A favor.
Speaker 1: Lisa did Richie a favor. What does she mean by that?
Speaker 1: I didn't tell Richie. If she really did something and
Speaker 1: it was for him, I don't know that he can
Speaker 1: handle that. Right now. I've been going through Kara's diary
Speaker 1: some more, thinking maybe there's something further back like like
Speaker 1: Lena having a drug dealer? Am I reading this right?
Speaker 1: Hey Richie, I'm going to school early. I don't need
Speaker 1: a ride, thanks, babe, I'll pick you up after school.
Speaker 1: Two fifteen exactly exactly now what you want, Sam, same
Speaker 1: thing I've always wanted, the truth. You are a very
Speaker 1: dramatic fourteen year old. I have to get to home room.
Speaker 1: I've literally never been late, Karen, and you were taking drugs.
Speaker 1: I don't take drugs. I found the riddle in when
Speaker 1: I was going through your bag, You nosy little bitch.
Speaker 1: You know they were just teaching us about this in school,
Speaker 1: how teenagers are abusing prescription drugs. Hey I am, I'm
Speaker 1: not abusing it. Oh yeah, because here's what I think.
Speaker 1: You were taking riddle in to get an edge on
Speaker 1: Kara and become valedictorians. But it didn't help, so you
Speaker 1: killed her and took her phone, turning it off so
Speaker 1: no one could find her. Wow. Nice, I take Riddlin
Speaker 1: for my A d h D genius late. Really, Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't take it to kid an edge in school.
Speaker 1: I take it so that I can function, so that
Speaker 1: I can feel like a normal person. Well, then why
Speaker 1: did the bottles have someone else's name on them. My
Speaker 1: dad got laid off this year. We lost her health insurance.
Speaker 1: He decided my meds were a luxury we couldn't afford.
Speaker 1: What he doesn't understand is that's like telling someone with
Speaker 1: a stigmatism that their glasses are a luxury. Then where
Speaker 1: are you getting your prescription from? My boyfriend? Harrison? He
Speaker 1: has a connection, but you have to keep this to yourself.
Speaker 1: He went to Judie when he was a kid, and
Speaker 1: if he gets Scott dealing again, he'll go to prison. Wait,
Speaker 1: did care find out she's this weird vendetta against him?
Speaker 1: She said she has pictures of him dealing. That's why
Speaker 1: I took her phone when we were planning for prom
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I was going to drop it in a
Speaker 1: bucket of water or smash it with a goddamn hammer.
Speaker 1: That's pretty violent. Harrison just got his life back on track.
Speaker 1: He's got a job and a partment right outside of town,
Speaker 1: and stuff is helping him apply to colleges. I wasn't
Speaker 1: going to let anyone get in the way of that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So seth Mr Bernard, he can corroborate your story. You
Speaker 1: really do need to start minding your own business. Sam, Oh, great,
Speaker 1: you again. I want to check back in on those brochures, right,
Speaker 1: I haven't had time to pull them. I can wait. Sure,
Speaker 1: why not? You get very involved with your students, That's
Speaker 1: my job. I want to help people succeed, even some
Speaker 1: people who aren't students, like Harrison. He's a former student.
Speaker 1: He got mixed up in some stuff that really wasn't
Speaker 1: his fault, and I'm helping him get his life back
Speaker 1: in shape. What kind of stuff I prefer that open
Speaker 1: have a special job here in the counselor's office. I
Speaker 1: worked specifically with kids who had legal trouble. It's much
Speaker 1: harder for them to get into schools, get jobs, even
Speaker 1: find a place to live. I'm helping Harrison so that
Speaker 1: he can get out of his dead end job, go
Speaker 1: to school, and do something with his life. And you
Speaker 1: were helping Kara too, since she was fourteen. Kara was
Speaker 1: very motivated to turn her life around, and she was
Speaker 1: doing it too. In fact, it's almost the anniversary of
Speaker 1: the first day she came to my office. We used
Speaker 1: to celebrate every year. She called it a rebirthday. Who
Speaker 1: else knew about Kara's past? I don't know, And she's
Speaker 1: not able to tell us, except she might. What's the
Speaker 1: date of a rebirthday? April? Why where are you? School
Speaker 1: starts in two minutes excluding I'm trying to get through
Speaker 1: your Sam, Lisa, what's going on? They're a fight in
Speaker 1: the parking lot. Sam, Come with me. I have to
Speaker 1: run homes. You shouldn't go out front. Why is that
Speaker 1: Detective Fry. He's arresting Ritchie. What? No, he can't. Detective Fry,
Speaker 1: You have the wrong guy. Richie was home that night.
Speaker 1: He couldn't have. We have an eye witness that saw
Speaker 1: your brother leave the Garcia's at ten pm the night
Speaker 1: of the murder. Richie. It's okay, Sam, Just keep doing
Speaker 1: your radio show. Understand, keep going. Yeah, I can understand.
