00:00:15,422 --> 00:00:24,342
Speaker 1: Pushkin. In the summer of twenty twenty, in the small

2
00:00:24,382 --> 00:00:29,902
Speaker 1: mountain town of Idleworld, California, some disturbing news began to spread.

3
00:00:30,982 --> 00:00:34,462
Speaker 1: Five women had disappeared in the span of just a

4
00:00:34,462 --> 00:00:35,382
Speaker 1: few months.

5
00:00:36,062 --> 00:00:38,862
Speaker 2: When that started happening, you know, all of us girls

6
00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:40,462
Speaker 2: were kind of saying, Okay, well, we're not going to

7
00:00:40,542 --> 00:00:42,142
Speaker 2: go anywhere without somebody else.

8
00:00:43,982 --> 00:00:47,022
Speaker 1: I hike a lot in that area and always on

9
00:00:47,062 --> 00:00:51,382
Speaker 1: my own, So the news really hit home, and being

10
00:00:51,382 --> 00:00:53,982
Speaker 1: a journalist, I wanted to find out what was going on,

11
00:00:54,462 --> 00:00:59,062
Speaker 1: so I started making some calls. Eventually I found out

12
00:00:59,062 --> 00:01:04,422
Speaker 1: what happened to all the women, all except one Lydia

13
00:01:04,542 --> 00:01:09,342
Speaker 1: kenschlo Abrams, known as Dea, a glamorous sixty five five

14
00:01:09,382 --> 00:01:12,982
Speaker 1: year old who from the outside looking in, seemed to

15
00:01:13,062 --> 00:01:13,582
Speaker 1: have it all.

16
00:01:14,342 --> 00:01:19,942
Speaker 2: She's a woman who was confident about herself, always giving

17
00:01:19,942 --> 00:01:24,182
Speaker 2: compliments to others. But at the same time, this petite

18
00:01:24,182 --> 00:01:27,182
Speaker 2: woman kid opened up a can of wood bass like

19
00:01:27,302 --> 00:01:28,222
Speaker 2: no one I've ever seen.

20
00:01:31,222 --> 00:01:34,742
Speaker 1: In the days after Dia disappeared, her friends, her neighbors,

21
00:01:34,782 --> 00:01:38,302
Speaker 1: and her kids began to search for her. They ran

22
00:01:38,382 --> 00:01:42,382
Speaker 1: through endless theories. Was she lying hurt somewhere, had she

23
00:01:42,462 --> 00:01:46,942
Speaker 1: run away, had she been kidnapped killed. There were two

24
00:01:46,982 --> 00:01:50,222
Speaker 1: men in her life who led the searchers, her son

25
00:01:50,422 --> 00:01:55,022
Speaker 1: Clinton Abrams, and a man named Keith Harper, who lived

26
00:01:55,022 --> 00:01:58,502
Speaker 1: with Dea on her sprawling ranch and said they were engaged.

27
00:02:02,902 --> 00:02:06,022
Speaker 1: It didn't take long for people to start pointing fingers,

28
00:02:06,782 --> 00:02:10,302
Speaker 1: because it turns out there were people who could benefit

29
00:02:10,782 --> 00:02:16,542
Speaker 1: if Diaz suddenly disappeared. Her estate was worth millions of dollars.

30
00:02:16,982 --> 00:02:19,742
Speaker 3: People I didn't know were in our family home, and

31
00:02:19,982 --> 00:02:21,822
Speaker 3: I had gone up there ever since I was a

32
00:02:21,822 --> 00:02:24,862
Speaker 3: little kid. And now suddenly, you know, the people who

33
00:02:24,902 --> 00:02:27,462
Speaker 3: I suspect had murdered her are moving in.

34
00:02:27,662 --> 00:02:32,062
Speaker 4: You know, obviously, when you're the last person, always.

35
00:02:31,742 --> 00:02:35,622
Speaker 1: Become the suspect. I soon discovered that everyone had a

36
00:02:35,622 --> 00:02:37,342
Speaker 1: different version of events.

37
00:02:37,702 --> 00:02:42,422
Speaker 4: He had every reason to harm her, but so did

38
00:02:43,382 --> 00:02:46,662
Speaker 4: Chrissara and Clinton just because so much money's involved.

39
00:02:48,862 --> 00:02:52,582
Speaker 1: I've been reporting this story for four years now. I've

40
00:02:52,622 --> 00:02:58,542
Speaker 1: uncovered a tangled web of manipulation power estrange families.

41
00:02:58,262 --> 00:03:02,142
Speaker 4: And greed to me the viable suspects are the kids

42
00:03:02,222 --> 00:03:07,422
Speaker 4: or Harbor. He asked us to investigate it using our methodologies,

43
00:03:07,462 --> 00:03:11,782
Speaker 4: and he was already contact the various psychics around the country.

44
00:03:11,902 --> 00:03:15,342
Speaker 5: You can't trust anything, the man says at all, Like

45
00:03:15,622 --> 00:03:19,222
Speaker 5: you can pretty much just take out a sharpie and

46
00:03:19,342 --> 00:03:21,982
Speaker 5: just cross out every year thing.

47
00:03:22,062 --> 00:03:25,742
Speaker 2: He said, if any one of the parties the kids

48
00:03:25,862 --> 00:03:29,422
Speaker 2: for me, had anything to do with their disappearance or dead,

49
00:03:30,022 --> 00:03:32,982
Speaker 2: we would get nothing. She turned to me and she said,

50
00:03:33,502 --> 00:03:38,022
Speaker 2: if anything ever happens to me, Clinton did.

51
00:03:37,902 --> 00:03:42,622
Speaker 5: It, And I was like, what the actual fuck.
