1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: Background. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 2: My roommate, Tea, has been missing since April, and I 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: have been law enforcement's target since the beginning, thanks to 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: a vindictive X and a disgruntled friend excluded from the will. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 3: In the summer of twenty twenty, Corey Bamley sets up 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 3: a gofund me page to raise money for her legal fees, 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 3: with a goal of twelve thousand dollars. In her post, 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: Corey refers to Teleina as Tea. 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: Tea has been suicidal for a couple years, had pre 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: planned and pre paid for her own funeral, and repeatedly 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: told those closest to her that she intended to carry 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: out her final wishes in June twenty twenty. In April, 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: she was convinced she'd contracted COVID nineteen, and I believe 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: she accelerated her plans and left for a destination unknown 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: to everyone but herself. 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: If you left me in charge of home. 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 2: Finances and pets, but I cannot honor her wishes while 18 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: she remains missing no death certificate. Local law enforcement has 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: targeted me based on malicious leads and a desire to 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: close a case, regardless of the facts. This law enforcement 21 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: agency has a bad reputation for this type of unprofessional behavior, 22 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: and my legal representation is essential but draining me financially. 23 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: If you are able to help in any way, it 24 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: will not only be greatly appreciated, but it will be 25 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: remembered once I've been vindicated. Smiley face. 26 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: From iHeart Podcasts. I'm Melissa Jelson and this is what 27 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: happened to Telenazar. 28 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: The first thing I would say was how's your roommate going? 29 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: And she always answered the best I've ever had. 30 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: There's still part of me thinking that maybe someone will 31 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: just call and say she's sick. Somewhere. 32 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 4: He goes, well, she killed my Telena wife, And I said, 33 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: if you know that, let's get the sheriffs. 34 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 5: Just because they're missing doesn't mean anything was nefarious. 35 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: I was angry with her. I was just on a 36 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 4: mission to take her down. 37 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 6: I wasn't scared. 38 00:02:51,600 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 3: Episode six, One Step Ahead. It's May twenty eighth, twenty twenty, 39 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 3: about two months since Telena disappeared. The Wagner County Sheriff's 40 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: Office now believes that her roommate, Corey Baumerly was involved, 41 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 3: and with a search warrant in hand, they go looking 42 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 3: for the evidence to prove it. A team of detectives 43 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: and deputies roll up on announced to Toelena and Corey's house. 44 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: Detective Weber has been inside before with Corey's blessing. This 45 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: time is different. 46 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 5: When I told her that I had a search warrant 47 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 5: was coming inside the house, she instantly her demeanor changed. 48 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 5: She appeared to go kind of pale and began shaking 49 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 5: real bad. 50 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: Corey comes outside to meet the detectives, says she has 51 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: a lawyer and will no longer be speaking to them, 52 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: but that's not how this works. They show her the 53 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: search warrant. She has no choice but to let them in. 54 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 5: To get back in, she needed either a fingerprint on 55 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 5: her doorknob or a code. She tried her fingerprint several 56 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 5: times and it wouldn't unlock for her because her fingers 57 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: wouldn't go into the fingerprint reader. 58 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: She was trampling so bad. She had to try the 59 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: code several times to get it unlocked. 60 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: Inside the house, the deputies fan out. Weber explains what 61 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: they're looking for, phones, computers, and asks Corey to locate them. 62 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: I asked her where her phone was. 63 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 5: We walked to the kitchen where she had her cell 64 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 5: phone hidden inside a saucepan in a lower cabinet drawer. 65 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: As for computers, Corey says she has none, so Weber 66 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: goes hunting himself. 67 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: Corey had placed two of her dogs in the bathroom 68 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 5: of the master bedroom. 69 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: I thought this was odd, given that. 70 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 5: There was plenty of room in the yard for them, 71 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: and she had kennels in the garage. 72 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: I went into this bathroom. 73 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 5: And found a tower computer hidden underclothing in the bathroom closet. 74 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 5: I also located another laptop computer in the front bedroom closet. 75 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: Corey seems on edge as Weber continues to search the house. 76 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: He keeps an eye on her, and at one point 77 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: sees her walk outside into the backyard. 78 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 5: She appeared to walk slowly toward the northwest corner of 79 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 5: the yard while scanning her head back and forth. 80 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: It appeared she was looking for something. 81 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: Intrigued by this, Weber retraces Corey's steps, goes to the 82 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: same corner of the yard and doesn't notice anything in particular, 83 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: but a little ways off, a fire pit catches Weber's eye. 84 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: Up close, he finds burnt and melted remnants of a mattress. 85 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: Corey burned it because of feed. He called her too. 86 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: Weber takes some photos to document the scene. Back at 87 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: the station. Digging into Corey's phone, the police finds something 88 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: ominous Internet searches for how to remove blood from cement 89 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: and how to moved blood from wood. They also find 90 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: a photo of Corey's white cargo trailer. For weeks, sheriffs 91 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: have been trying to locate this trailer. They think it 92 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: might be key to understanding what happened to Telena, seeing 93 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: as it seemed to disappear not too long after she did. 94 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: When Detective Weber asked Corey about it on May ninth, 95 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: she said she'd sold it earlier for one thousand bucks. 96 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: It was there one day, and now it's not what's 97 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 5: a trailer got to do with? 98 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: It was mine, it wasn't Telena's, so okay. 99 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: However, looking at the photo on Corey's phone, officers can 100 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 3: tell that she took the picture on May tenth, a 101 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: day after a meeting with Weber, meaning she lied again. 102 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: But they still don't know where the trailer is. There 103 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: had been at least one siding of it, though I. 104 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 7: Told him that I had all that trailer over at 105 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 7: Billy's Shields. 106 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: Plave, Greg tells police during an interview that he saw 107 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: the trailer on the property of Billy Shields, a neighbor 108 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: who often cleaned Telena and Corey's house. 109 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 7: We were going to a place to go pick up 110 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 7: a pizza, and we drove by and saw that trailer. 111 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 7: Spit made. It was plugged into an extension cord, Like 112 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 7: there's an extension, like an orange extension cord going into 113 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 7: the back of this trailer. And I thought, well, that's weird. 114 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 7: Why would Corey have that over here, especially plugged in. 115 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 7: She has her own house that she can plug it 116 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 7: in over there. 117 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: Greg had been characteristically candid with the police, telling them 118 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: all about how he got rid of Telena's bed frame 119 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: at Corey's request. He had voluntarily gone down to the station, 120 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: but still it was intimidating being questioned about a missing person. 121 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the first time I'd ever been interviewed 122 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 7: by Shaf's deputies like that. They had had a couple 123 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 7: of people of interest, and I believe I was one 124 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 7: of them. And I just sat down and just started 125 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 7: the story and told him in there and they're looking 126 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 7: at me, and I didn't really know what what to 127 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 7: say or do. 128 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: Greg continued to share information with the cops as they 129 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: requested it. At one point, they asked him to verify 130 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: the layout of Teleina and Corey's house. Who slept where. 131 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 7: When they showed me pictures of the house, I said, 132 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 7: that wasn't the bedroom that Telena stayed in. 133 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: Corey had told police that Teleina slept in the front room, 134 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: but Greg explained that Teleina's bedroom was actually in the 135 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: back of the house, and looking at the photos, he 136 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: saw that Telena's room had been totally disassembled. 137 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 7: Corey had taken all of all of her stuff and 138 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 7: put captain there, and I had seen the cats. I'm 139 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 7: what the hell is this? Delena didn't let cats in 140 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 7: the house. I felt like at that point, you know, 141 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 7: she was trying to cover up a crime scene by 142 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 7: putting all that cats. And they weren't clean. They were thinky, nasty, 143 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 7: fishing and pooping everywhere. Cats. You know, I felt like 144 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 7: she's covering something up. 145 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 5: Grag told us Telena slept on the bed in the 146 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 5: back bedroom on the left. This was extremely significant information 147 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 5: because Corey lied during interviews and during the tour of 148 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: the residents. She told us Telena slept in the front 149 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 5: bedroom on the left. And the back bedroom was the 150 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 5: TV room. This indicates Corey quickly completely rearranged the two 151 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 5: bedrooms after burning the mattress. This also indicates that there 152 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 5: was something very significant about this mattress. 153 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: With all this new information, the investigation goes into hyperdrive. 154 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: The detectives tracked down two storage units that Corey rented 155 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: in two separate parts of the state, and after getting 156 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: more search warrants for the units, they find a backpack 157 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: containing two guns and a driver's license chopped up into 158 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 3: little bits.

When we opened it up, there was just 266 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 8: a really, really bad smell. 267 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 7: I wondered, you know, if I should go ahead and 268 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 7: call the U haul people and tell them where it's at, 269 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 7: because Cory, the person that had rented it, was in jail. 270 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: But we didn't. 271 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 7: We left it all alone. 272 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 3: Undeterred, they head into the garage. 273 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 8: There were dog crates and stuff in the garage, and 274 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 8: there was a pile of boxes and other bits and 275 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 8: bobs in there. She had literally gone through and painted 276 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 8: the floor around these areas. And I looked at that, 277 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 8: and I said to Greg, that odd looking And we 278 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 8: just kind of looked at each other. 279 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 3: There's fresh gray paint on the garage floor, applied in 280 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: a haphazard pattern.

She pulled up behind him 327 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 8: at my gate and kind of locked him into my 328 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 8: into my driveway. 329 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 7: She's completely blindsided me. I was closing the gate, walking 330 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 7: up to the truck, pulled the truck door open, and 331 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 7: she's walking around my truck. And I thought she was 332 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 7: still in jail. 333 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: And normally I carry it. 334 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 7: Again, I mean, I've been in concealed carries for a 335 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 7: long long time, and I would I had my pistol 336 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 7: on me normally, out of instinct, I grabbed for my pistol, 337 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 7: but I did not have and she just said where's 338 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 7: my dog? And I'm like, I don't have them? And 339 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 7: she goes, does Rachel have them? 340 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 9: I said no, and she goes, did they get adopted immediately? 341 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 9: And I said yes, And she turned around and got 342 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 9: back in the car and left. 343 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 3: Less than a week after her arrest, Corey is released 344 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: on bond. News of this travels fast. Chantal Tolina's niece 345 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 3: posts an announcement online which we've recreated. 346 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 6: Corey got out of jail this afternoon. Everyone please be 347 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 6: on alert. I don't want her to hurt anyone else. 348 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 6: I fear for everyone who has helped in the investigation 349 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 6: or spoken out about her. Please just all keep your 350 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 6: eyes open. 351 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 3: Jess gets a one line text from Marty. 352 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: Hey, sweetheart, the fucking cunt got out. 353 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 4: We thought she was going to get in a lot 354 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 4: more trouble with the guns because she's a felon. I 355 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 4: know a lot of police officers and sheriffs, and like, 356 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 4: we know how important it is for pellons TB guns, 357 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 4: especially here. I guess I don't know about Oklahoma, but 358 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 4: it's a huge deal. Bones cannot carry firearms. We were 359 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: looking up the penalties and it's like fifteen years per charge, 360 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 4: and I was like, well, hell, we've got her on 361 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 4: thirty years right there. We can be done and haven't 362 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: gonna let her out. 363 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 8: I was like, what the. 364 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 4: Hell it's going on here? We thought we thought we 365 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: had her. 366 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 3: The sleuths are worried that the police aren't moving fast enough, 367 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 3: or more accurately, that Corey is moving faster. 368 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 4: It always felt like she was one step ahead of 369 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 4: them and us no matter what. I didn't really understand 370 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 4: how police worked and gathering their evidence and what they 371 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 4: actually needed in order to arrest her. 372 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: With law enforcement seemingly unable to hold Corey accountable, just 373 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: starts to feel like it's up to her. If justice 374 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 3: is going to be served, she may have to be 375 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: the one to deliver it. But she's far away, so 376 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 3: she deputizes Marty. She asks him to drive by the 377 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: house and observe what's going on, and even to go 378 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 3: through the trash after Corey puts it on the curb. 379 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: It's a way for Jess to build her case against Corey, 380 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 3: but it's also a kind of litmus test for Marty. 381 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 3: After all, Jess is convinced that Corey didn't act alone. 382 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 4: I'm saying, hey, I think somebody helped her, and he's like, no, 383 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 4: she's super strong. He didn't want me to think the 384 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: accomplished theory. 385 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: In the days after Corey's release from jail, Jess notices 386 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 3: that Marty's often agitated and upset, quick to turn on her. 387 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 4: He'd get pissy that I didn't answer my phone, or well, 388 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna call Rosie or I'll call Nicole. It's 389 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 4: like call him, I don't know, sounds good. 390 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 3: At one point, Marty tells Jess that Corey's been driving 391 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: by his house. Jess tells him to call the police, 392 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: but he has his own way of executing justice. 393 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 4: He said, well, I've got my ar right here, so 394 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 4: if she comes in, I'll shoot the bitch. 395 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 3: Jess can't make sense of marty behavior. She doesn't know 396 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: him well enough to understand what's going on inside his head. 397 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 3: Is he acting guilty because he did something or is 398 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 3: he scared because he knows what Corey is capable of. 399 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 3: He tells Jess he's drinking more and not sleeping. 400 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if it was fear or panic. 401 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 4: I don't know if he was afraid. Warning bells were 402 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 4: in my head. I was starting to think something was 403 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 4: sketchy with him, more so than the drug use and 404 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 4: the drinking. 405 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: Still, Jess continues to talk to Marty multiple times a day. 406 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 3: After all, Telena is missing, Corey is free. Jess and 407 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: Marty they're in this together. Less than a week after 408 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 3: Corey makes bond, It's Father's Day June twenty first, twenty twenty. 409 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: Jess and Marty send each other good morning texts. 410 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 4: Like usual, I was doing something with my husband and 411 00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 4: the kids. I think you got a picture of us 412 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 4: the car, maybe getting ice cream? And he had sent 413 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 4: a picture of Captain America that he had. He had 414 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 4: like an adult coloring book, and he colored Captain America 415 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 4: and said, I've been working on this all day. We 416 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 4: kind of bonded over our love of Marvel and Star 417 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: Wars and whatever. And I remember saying Happy Father's Day 418 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 4: because he's a stepdad. He said, oh, nobody said that 419 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: to me in a long time. That was literally the 420 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 4: last time I talked to him. I think it was 421 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 4: Nicole that called me and said Marty's dead, and then 422 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 4: I tried messaging him. I tried calling, and then I 423 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 4: called the police station or the sheriff's office, and I asked, like, 424 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 4: is he really dead? 425 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: Just as told that Marty died of a suspected drug overdose. 426 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 4: And then I became a little harsh with them and said, 427 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 4: I know for sure that Corey did it. And that 428 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 4: was another frustrating phone call where I was upset, obviously 429 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 4: because he was dead, but they were frustrated that I 430 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 4: was making accusations, obviously because legally I couldn't prove that. 431 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 4: I still can't, But I said, I know she was 432 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 4: driven by his house like he was texting me. She 433 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: killed Telena now she killed him. 434 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: Marty dies a week after Corey gets out of jail. 435 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 3: To Jess, it's just too convenient. 436 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, he pawns a chainsaw 437 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 4: and then he dies of fentanyl overdose. A user, I mean, 438 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 4: he used for years, years, twenty thirty years, talking out 439 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: their addicts that I know. I'm not saying an accidental 440 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 4: overdose what is impossible. I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm 441 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 4: just saying it seems like too big of a coincidence 442 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 4: that that's how he dies. 443 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 3: In my opinion, Marty's death hits Jess hard. Even though 444 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 3: she suspects he may have played some role in Telena's disappearance, 445 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: she has real feelings for him. It's a contradiction that 446 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 3: she still struggles with today. I tried to get Jess 447 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: to talk more about her reaction to Marty's death, but 448 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: every time she tried, she became overcome with emotion. 449 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 4: I get really upset when I think about Wolf. It's hard. 450 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: It's hard for me to talk about. 451 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 3: Because you did genuinely care about him. 452 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 7: I did. 453 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it sucks because sometimes I wish I could call 454 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 4: him right. There's just parts of me that wish he 455 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 4: was still here. I don't know how to explain it. 456 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 4: I was really sad, it really hurt. I'm really uncomfortable. 457 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: I'm still really simp and that he's gone. Because what 458 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 4: if I'm wrong? 459 00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 6: I need I need a minute. 460 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 3: Jess sent me a folder of her text with Marty, 461 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: ostensibly to provide a window into her investigation to check 462 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 3: facts and dates. But as I scrolled through the hundreds 463 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 3: of messages, what I saw instead was a relationship developed 464 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 3: two people who found each other in the strange blur 465 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: of pandemic life, united by their shared obsession with what 466 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 3: happened to Teleina'sar. The day after Marty dies, she texts him, 467 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: please tell me you're okay, and then four months later, 468 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: one last text, I miss you so fucking much. 469 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 4: One of the last conversations Wolfe and I had had, 470 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 4: he was extremely drunken high and he said, I can't 471 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 4: believe you figured it out. 472 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: Next time on what happened to Telena'sar. 473 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 5: The findings inside the safe were extremely significant. 474 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: A new discovery triggers a second investigation well beyond Wagner, Oklahoma, 475 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: or even the mysterious disappearance of Telenasar. 476 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 10: Do we feel safe living next door to Corey. No 477 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 10: do our neighbors feel safe after our house was broken 478 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 10: into No, none of us feel safe anymore, And. 479 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: The Wagner County Sheriff's Office makes a big announcement. 480 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,479 Speaker 7: This press conference is regarding what originally started out as 481 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 7: a missing person's investigation regarding Telena Galloway. 482 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: What Happened to Telenazar is a production of iHeart Podcasts. 483 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: It's written, reported, and hosted by me Melissa Jelson, with 484 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: writing and story editing by Lauren Hansen.
