WEBVTT - Hell and Gone Season 4 Trailer

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>On October two fifteen, the Little Rock Police Department searched

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>an abandoned car in a small residential part. The keys

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 1>were in the ignition and the car was out of

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>gas as if it had been left running. The car

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>belonged to eighteen year old Ebbie Steppa. And then the

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>fact that they found her makeup in her car, her

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>phone in her car, her wallet, her keys in her car,

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and that right there tells me someone planned this. Ebbie

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>had vanished without a trace. I'm Catherine Townsend, journalist, private investigator,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and host of the true crime podcast Hell and Gone,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm back in Arkansas trying to find out what

0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>really happened to Ebby Steppa. It seems like every one

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in Arkansas knows about Ebby. They know she disappeared in

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>two thousand fifteen, and that her body was found in

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>a storm drain three years later. They know that there

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.279
<v Speaker 1>have been multiple investigations that have led nowhere. And even

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>though Ebbie's case has been one of the most extensively

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>covered cold cases in Arkansas, so much of her life

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>and what really happened to her remain a mystery. We

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't know anything that was going on with her, Where

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>she was going. None of her friends knew any of

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the people she was hanging out with or where she

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>met him. I didn't know any of the people she

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>was hanging out with at the time. I mean, there's

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a million scenarios that played through my head every day.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>After all this time, no one has been ruled out

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>or in. Everybody's on the radar. Why are they on

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the radar? They've been on the radar for years. I

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>feel for these people too, because like they're not cleared,

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but they're not prosecuted. I didn't want to get involved,

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying at all I said, I don't need

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to interfere with a BRACE part. I regret that. Now

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm falling up on old leads, chasing new leads, and

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>doing anything that can get us closer to the truth.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>No one would be able to see what I was

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>doing from the street side. If I was putting the

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>body in here, no one would see that happen. Did

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>she take somebody there with her? Did somebody kill her

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>or put her down there? Did something else happen? And

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>then somebody panic and they put her down there. All

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>those things are on the table. We're going to get close.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna figure out if he's home or not. We're

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna go knock on the door, and we're gonna try

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to just talk to him. I just started shaking. It's

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>like this, I'm never gonna I'm never gonna win. Nothing's

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>ever gonna happen. Some people tell me to just leave

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>things to law enforcement. I know from experience that once

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you start digging up dark secrets, life can get messy

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and things can get complicated. But I also know that

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>sometimes digging is the only way to get answers and justice.

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.080
