1
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Time has not healed the pain of the family and

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: friends or Chase Masner, young Iraqi war veteran. He disappeared

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: without a trace. Despite some intense searching, a few clues

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: have been found. We have a missing veteran. We have

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: a friend, a son, a father, and our main goal

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: has always been to bring him home and that emotion

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: will never end until he's brought back home. This is

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: crime Stories with Nancy Grace and I personally served in

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: the United States Army with Chase Master went missing from

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of Faw, Georgia. We want him located and we

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: want the truth come out. Three years if veteran has

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: been missing, please please do a follow up on that

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: and dig deeper and see if we can't bring him home.

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: You know the saying no soldier left behind with pulsier

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: has been went behind. Hello Nancy, my name is Stephanie Kadina.

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm just mom and my question is very simple and

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: to the point. What happened to my son and where

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: is my son? Do any of you listening have children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren.

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Imagine your son disappearing, vanishing into thin air and nobody

20
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: knows where he is. I've got a son and a daughter.

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: They're nine right now, but no matter how old they

22
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: grow to be, they will always be my boy and girl.

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: So you can only imagine how much it broke my

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: heart to hear the plea of a mother, another mother

25
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: like myself, begging us me, you, you to help her

26
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: find her son. And I am talking about Chase Masner.

27
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Nancy Grace here with crime stories. The story

28
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you today is ongoing. First of all, I

29
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: want you to hear what Chase's mother, Stephanie said to

30
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: me last night. Hello Nancy, my name is Stephanie Kadina.

31
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm Jesus mom, and my question is very simple and

32
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: to the point. What happened to my son? And where

33
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: is my son? Chase Master, a military veteran, a husband,

34
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: a father himself to two little girls, just vanishes into

35
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: thin air March. Nobody seems to know where he is.

36
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: No one has ever heard from him. We have no

37
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Indica Haitian that he's dead or alive. He was last

38
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: seen around Kinneesaw, Georgia, and he had been at a

39
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: friend's home that evening. Chase's mother says, quote, I never

40
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: imagined it would be my last hug, the last kiss

41
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: on my cheek. I had to pause just hearing her words.

42
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: She says, I never imagined it would be my last

43
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: goodbye to my son when he left our house March.

44
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: It just reminds me so much of how often I

45
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: have played over in my mind the last time I

46
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: saw my fiancee, Keith before he was murdered. It was early,

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: early on a Monday morning. It seems like it was yesterday,

48
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: and he had been visiting with me and my mom

49
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and dad and my family and our home, and he

50
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: got up super he didn't want to go back Sunday night.

51
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: He wanted to stay even though it meant he had

52
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: to get up at about three o'clock in the morning

53
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: and take off to get to work on time. And

54
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the last thing I remember it was him driving away

55
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and holding his arm out waving goodbye, tooting the horn,

56
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: and I remember closing my eyes and thinking, oh, it's

57
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: bad luck to see someone on delder, out of luck,

58
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: out of sight. That was the last time I saw Keith,

59
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: and I remember it like it was this morning. And

60
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: when I hear Chase's mother say, I had never imagined

61
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: it would be my last hug, the last kiss on

62
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: my cheek, my last goodbye to my son. It just

63
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: kills me to even say those words. But that is

64
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the hell that this woman and Chase, his tired family

65
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: has been living through. The worst nightmare has come true

66
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: for this mom. His closest friends and family say he

67
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: has would never be gone like this without checking in.

68
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: He would never leave his two little girls without even

69
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: saying goodbye with me, is investigative reporter Alan Duke. You

70
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: know the night he disappeared, he was very morose, He

71
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: felt down on his luck. He was having arguments with

72
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: his wife, Amanda, and they weren't getting along. Uh. He

73
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: went to his friend Brad's home. That's where everything goes sideways.

74
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: What do we know at that point? Chase Master is

75
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: who we are talking about, A handsome young man with

76
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: two little girls and a wife whose family is carrying

77
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: the torch and is asking us, me, you to help

78
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: find her son. What do we know, Alan, We know

79
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: that he told his wife he needed to go over

80
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: someplace else, to Brad's house. Brad invited him over to

81
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: stay at his house in Kinnesaw because he needed some space.

82
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: He needed some time because, as you said, there had

83
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: been some some discord at home, so he went over

84
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: there and he spent the night. We know that Chase

85
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: stays at his friend Brad Clement's home that evening, but

86
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: that is where everything goes murky, because Brad gets up

87
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: and goes to work and he had Chase's cell phone

88
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: with him. So Brad gets back to the home, gives

89
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: Chase's cell phone back, and then went to either start

90
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: a barbecue or talked to some roovers who are working

91
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: on his home. But in that time, Chase disappears walks away.

92
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: No one seems to have seen Chase leave, including Brandon,

93
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: the friend, or the owner of Duck Ruth who was

94
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: there working at the home. So no bad light should

95
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: be cast on the friend. Because Brad Clements was there

96
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: with Chase. The roofers came, they saw Chase. He was

97
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: alive and well at that time, and then he seemingly disappears.

98
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: It's a suburban subdivision filled with lovely homes uum called

99
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: a sack. It would have taken him at least five

100
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: minutes to walk down the street and get out of

101
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: the neighborhood because it's about a half a mile and

102
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: you have to wind around to get there. Now, did

103
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: he walk away, did somebody come pick him up? Neighbors

104
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: say there were no unknown vehicles that they saw pull

105
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: up to Brad's home. There's no suicide note. There's no

106
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: suggestion he ever wanted to commit suicide. All we know

107
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: is that his phone was cut off and he goes missing.

108
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: And another thing, Alan Douke, you can't blame the spouse.

109
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: That's usually where every investigation start. It's with a spouse,

110
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: boyfriend or girlfriend, because the wife was home with the

111
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: two girls and he was at the friend's house. So

112
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: what more do we know? What about the search? Well,

113
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: there was for a long time. This man has a

114
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: lot of people who care about him, and a lot

115
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: of people who knew him or didn't know him, came

116
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: out for a massive search. You know that whole area.

117
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: You and I are both familiar with the area around

118
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Cobb County and Kenne saw it's very beautiful, rolling hills,

119
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: a lot of trees, pine trees and very wooded, a

120
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: lot of hiking trails. They searched, they searched, and they

121
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: searched with no sign of chase. Well, I know that

122
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: um not only did friends, families and friends, family and

123
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: volunteers like you just said search several times. They also

124
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: brought in professionals. They brought in people that were a

125
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: national group UH to come and help find him. It

126
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: wasn't just a bunch of amateurs. They brought in professionals

127
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: to help find Chase. They went throughout the area. They

128
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: brought in the Guardian Angels who rolled into Metro Atlanta

129
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: to help look. There was a four day search the

130
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: locations urban and rural. They looked through areas mapped out

131
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: that they shared with each other. There were several areas

132
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: of interests. Nothing and that was just one of several searches.

133
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: They went to dumpsters, they went through his home, they

134
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: looked all around commercial areas. Nothing, nothing at all. I'm

135
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: a veteran. I unfortunately never had to serve in a

136
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: war zone as Chase did. But I do know that

137
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: when you come back into civilian life, it's not so

138
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: easy because when you were in that uniform, you had

139
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: this identity, you had this mission, you had this team.

140
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it pt s D,

141
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: which is the common phrase post traumatic stress syndrome. Whether

142
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: it's that or not. Everybody, no matter what you what

143
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you experienced when you were in the military, you miss

144
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: that and it's it's missing, and that structure is not

145
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,239
Speaker 1: there anymore, and so there's there, there is some adjustment

146
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: and and maybe some some depression. That that is very

147
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: natural because you don't know what your future is when

148
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: you're in the when you're in the army, you know

149
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: what your future is. You you know what you're doing

150
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: and you have a purpose. But when you when you

151
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: come back and you can't find anything, but let's say

152
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: a job overnight as the clerk at a convenience store,

153
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: that can be depressing. Now, are you intimating that Chase

154
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: committed suicide. No, I am not. I'm just saying that

155
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: that could explain. I was just wondering where that train

156
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: of thought that let me just like rambling train of

157
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: thought was leading. So that's just what a stairway to

158
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: know where. No, you hear people talk about, oh, well,

159
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: he was suffering from how having been in Iraq and everything.

160
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: I was trying to put a little context into that

161
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: because even if no matter what you saw in Iraq

162
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: or wherever, that transition to civilian life can be difficult. No,

163
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that that he did himself in as

164
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: a result of all of that I'm just saying that

165
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: could explain why people are saying, well, he wasn't so

166
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: happy that day or that week. Okay, So I'm trying

167
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: to shed light on I'm trying to go through forensics

168
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: and evidence to determine what happened to Chase Masner. Now,

169
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: what you've just told me is about a painful reentry

170
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: into society after seeing action in the Iraqi War. Okay,

171
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I get it, and I get that as background, and

172
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: that may explain some of his problems he was having

173
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: with his wife, which is not uncommon. My dad was

174
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: in the military. A lot of vets come home and

175
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to settle into regular civilian life. I know,

176
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: even from prosecuting violent crimes for so many years. When

177
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: I would go anywhere else, say I was at a

178
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: cocktail party or a dinner, if people weren't talking about

179
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: violent crime, I'm just just not interested in frankly, same way,

180
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: still mean that it's in your blood. So it may

181
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: have been hard for him to re enter into domestic life. However,

182
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: that has nothing no bearing on his disappearance that we

183
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: know of. That's actually a good point that we know of,

184
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: because if alan nobody saw him walking away, and nobody

185
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: saw a car coming up to Brad's home. Obviously nobody

186
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: saw him committing suicide or buying a gun, or buying

187
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a length of rope, or buying pills to kill himself,

188
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: nothing like that. The point is there's no clue. I

189
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: know this. He was last seeing wearing his red Quick

190
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Trip sweatshirt. He had on khaki pants. He's tall, He's

191
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: six ft two, he weighs weighs around a hundred and

192
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: seventy five pounds, with dark brown hair and brown eye.

193
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: He has a couple of tattoos. The name Masner is

194
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: across his back, shoulder brick blades, and he has an

195
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: angel on his right forearm. Take a listen to another call,

196
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Alan and I received. Hi. My name is Teresa Saving

197
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Center and I personally served in the United States Army

198
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: with Chase Master government went missing from kind of Fawn, Georgia.

199
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: And I am also part of the group that is

200
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: trying to get his story put out there and located.

201
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: We want him located and we want the truth come out.

202
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: So I'm just helping with that battle. Think you know, Alan,

203
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Before I go back into Chase Masner, I just want

204
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: to thank our sponsor again, Simply Safe, because thousands of

205
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,800

Speaker 1: own safety, for their children's safety, their elderly parents safety,

207
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: but they think they cannot afford it. But you can.

208
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Was Simply Safe. As a matter of fact, if you

212
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many cases I covered, how

213
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: many cases I tried and prosecuted where I thought, why

214
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: didn't they have a home alarm system? And I know

215
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: it's an economic issue for a lot of people, but

216
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: was Simply Safe now that is not an issue when

Speaker 1: slash nancy for that ten percent off. I want to

219
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: get back to the disappearance of Chase Master. Listen to

220
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: what his mom said, Hello, Nancy, my name is Stephanie Cadina.

221
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm just mom and my question is very simple and

222
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: to the point, what happened to my son and where

223
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: is my son? There is a Facebook group Justice from

224
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Chase Master. It's got over a thousand members. Tammy Childs

225
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: is the administrator, and she wrote, when a loved one

226
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: passes away, a family gains a type of closure by

227
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: a funeral or a memorial. Well, you know what, She's right,

228
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: Chase's family never had that. They still to this day

229
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. Now police say, do they not

230
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: alan that they're still working on the case. Yes. Sergeant

231
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: with Cobb County Police assured Crime Online very recently that

232
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: it is an active case that they are currently still investigating.

233
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Now they say that they are talking about Cobb County Police.

234
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,239
Speaker 1: They say they are working behind the scenes with new information,

235
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: but will not divulge the details. And I completely understand

236
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: that just because it's in a police final does not

237
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: mean the media gets to know about it. Uh. The

238
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: media always acts so offended when police won't give them

239
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: the details. You know what, it's none of their business.

240
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: It could totally ruin an investigation. But it's now been

241
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: quite sometimes since Chase disappeared. I want to give you

242
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: a tip line Cobb County Crimes Against Person's Unit. The

243
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,520

00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: four nine two seven four six three. So what's the

250
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: state of it now, Alan, Where does it stand? Aw,

251
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: It's an ongoing investigation and we know very few clues,

252
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: and all that is happening now is people are very

253
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: frustrated wanting something to happen. As you said, the Cobb

254
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: County Police may know something that they're not telling the

255
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: news media. Let's expect that they do. They're investigating, but

256
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: as far as what we know in the media, what

257
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: is out in the public is nothing. You know, it's

258
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: even gone to the point where psychics have been weighing

259
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: in on Chase's disappearance. But I know this. I know

260
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: that his mom is continuing to search. His wife, Amanda,

261
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: is continuing the search. Twenty six year old Chase Master,

262
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: a veteran of the Iraqi War, vanished in Metro Atlanta.

263
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: Now police are now calling it a suspicious missing person.

264
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: At first, they would not label it that way. They

265
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: weren't sure whether he walked off on his own or not.

266
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: But they are definitely upgrading it to suspicious person. To

267
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: get police to do that is no small thing, Alan Duke, Yeah,

268
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: we've dealt with that, haven't we. They also say police

269
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 1: say that he was last seeing at his job at

270
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: a quick trip in Kennesaw, Georgia, but a friend says

271
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: he left from his home and we've talked about Brad.

272
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: I just don't know what more there is bearing on this.

273
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: Have there been any sightings. I'm not aware of any

274
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: verified sightings of him. No, it's without a trace, not

275
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: a single one vanished. I know dumpsters were searched, land

276
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: fields were searched. It's a lot different when you're looking

277
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: for a missing person versus a homicide. But here we

278
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: don't even know which one it is missing our homicide.

279
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: There's also a reward right now, it's two thousand, five

280
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I just wonder what detectives can do at

281
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: this point. Are they reinvented, are they re interviewing witnesses?

282
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: What are they doing? Nancy, I don't know the answer

283
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to that, because they're not telling us, they're not talking

284
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: to the media telling us what they are doing other

285
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: than that they are doing. Do you think that's because

286
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: they don't want us to know, or is it because

287
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: they're not really doing anything. I have actually a fair

288
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: amount of faith in the Cobb County Police. I've when

289
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: I was living in Atlanta, I dealt with him as

290
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: a journalist and as a civilian, and I can tell

291
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: you that they're pretty aggressive. I don't mean that they're

292
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: not doing anything because they're sitting around eating Cheetos. They're

293
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: not They're not doing that. I mean they're not doing

294
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: anything because they don't know what else to do. They've

295
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: run out of leads. That's what I'm talking about. I

296
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: guess as an investigator, you end up chasing the same

297
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: leads over and over and going in circles. And what

298
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: do you do then, Nancy? What could happen? I mean,

299
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: if he was there that day and is not there anymore,

300
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: He's somewhere one way or the other. I think of

301
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: these things, and I don't want to suggest anything other

302
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: than you come to Los Angeles. There are hundreds of

303
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: thousands of people basically living off the grid, if you will,

304
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: just here in Los Angeles County. By off the grid,

305
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean they're living in tents, under the bridges or wherever.

306
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Who are these people? Are they? The missing we've been

307
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: looking for. Are these people we talk about who are

308
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,320
