From iHeartRadio, I'm Melissa Jelson, and this is 44 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: what happened to Sandy Beial an iHeart original podcast, Chapter 45 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: five listener update. Instead of releasing a full episode this week, 46 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm taking a small detour to explain some new information. 47 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: I received. What you just heard were notes from the 48 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: scene of Sandy's death, written over four decades ago. A 49 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: few weeks back, in the middle of putting together this podcast, 50 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: I got an unexpected email from the Prince George's County 51 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Office of Law, attached with Sandy's police file. Kim had 52 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: given me the police report on Sandy's death when I 53 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: first met her, but several months ago I requested quote 54 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: the entire police file of Sandy Beal to see if 55 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: I'd get anything different. I'd all but put the request 56 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: out of my mind, so I was shocked when I 57 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: opened this email to find that the file was ninety 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: five pages long. A few of the pages are fully redacted, 59 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: and a good chunk of the file is made up 60 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: of photocopies of Sandy's personal books. This content was all 61 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: familiar to me, of course, But on page eighty four, 62 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: the new stuff starts its Detective Shozhlski's handwritten notes jotted 63 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: down at the scene of Sandy's death. Reading these pages, 64 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: you can sort of follow along with his investigation. He 65 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: writes when he arrives, who we talked to, what he did, 66 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: what he saw, And on one page he writes down 67 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: the items that sat on top of Sandy's dashboard. The 68 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: first item he notes is a quote PG County police rig. 69 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: I didn't know what that was, so I asked him. 70 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: He didn't remember this detail, but he said A rig 71 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: can refer to a police duty belt, which officers used 72 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: to carry equipment around their waist. I'm sure you can 73 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: picture one. It's unclear if the rig was hers, perhaps 74 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: given to her as part of the Explorer program, or 75 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: maybe it was someone else's. Also on Sandy's dashboard was 76 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: a quote personal card of a Prince George's County police 77 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: officer Mark Murphy, His name was also listed in Sandy's 78 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: address book. He died on the job in nineteen eighty eight, 79 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: but I confirmed he did work in the Explorer program 80 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: at the time Sandy was there. After that, Shozelsky writes 81 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: several police clippings. Again, he didn't recall this detail, but 82 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: he thought the note may have referred to newspaper clippings 83 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: about PG County cops. He vaguely remembered that the local 84 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: paper used to run an Officer of the Week story 85 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: along with a photo. Maybe Sandy had kept some copies. Lastly, 86 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: he notes that Sandy had a quote schedule card on 87 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: her dash. Shrzelski was pretty sure this was for the 88 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: Prince George's County Police Department. All of these items they 89 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: confirm Sandy's close connections to PG County police and her 90 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: likely involvement in the Police Explorer program. Not only did 91 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: she have address books with the names and numbers of 92 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: local cops in her car, she had a police rig 93 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: sitting right on top of her dash. I sent the 94 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: handwritten notes to Shozhelski to see what he made of 95 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: them so many years later. There's some things in here 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: that I had forgotten, like the black Mark Shazelski's notes 97 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: document that Sandy had a black mark under her left eye. 98 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. I think I said, 99 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: if it would have been a bruise, I would have 100 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: noted as such, But I don't know what it was. 101 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: In honor like what it was? You don't like that, 102 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I don't like today, I don't remember. The file also 103 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: includes a crude diagram drawn by Shozhelski showing where Sandy's 104 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: car was located in the pole yard and the track 105 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: marks around it. The drawing is very rudimentary, and so 106 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: I didn't want to read too much into it. But 107 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: there are two sets of tracks next to each other, 108 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: like a car pulled up next to another car. I 109 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: asked him about this. Doesn't it look like maybe there 110 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: was more than one car there? Yeah, from what I 111 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: have there, it does? It is that her try it 112 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: and make a note of it. Who would have been 113 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: her tracks? Well? Certainly in the police report it says 114 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: that there were tracks like she had been trying to 115 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: get out of the mud. But the way that you've 116 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: drawn this doesn't just look like a person like backing 117 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: up and you know, reversing and going forward and trying 118 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: to get out of the mud. It looks like someone's 119 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: pulled up yeah next to her, Yeah, it does. But 120 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that won the case. Okay, how does 121 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: it make you feel reading these notes from so long ago? Well, 122 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: I feel though it's still a suicide. Shozelski is still 123 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: confident that he made the right call. Those things that 124 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: bother him now, the black mark, the tire tracks. They 125 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: bother him because he can't remember exactly what he meant 126 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: at the time when he made his notes, not because 127 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: he thinks there was foul play. The notes also revealed 128 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that Shozelski did a search on Sandy's name, calling the 129 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: records department to see if Sandy had any previous involvement 130 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: with the police department, either as a suspect or as 131 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: a victim. At first, he wrote no records, Then he 132 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: scribbled it out because the search revealed that in the 133 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: last year and a half of her life, Sandy sought 134 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: help from police on three separate occasions. It appears that 135 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: a man had been following her at the mall. As 136 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: you might remember, Sandy worked at the Landover Mall in 137 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: her senior year of high school. She was part of 138 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: a work study program where students would go to school 139 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: until lunch and then work the rest of the day 140 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: at a local job. According to Shoshchlski's notes, in November 141 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five, when she was seventeen, Sandy was assaulted 142 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: at the mall by a twenty eight year old man 143 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: who she said had been following her for three months. 144 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: He grabbed her and made threats to harm her before 145 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: being sent on his way by the security guard. Then, 146 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: in April nineteen seventy six, five months later, another incident occurred. 147 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: The man followed Sandy through the mall again. In July, 148 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: there's a third report. This time the man apparently threatened 149 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: Sandy forgetting a warrant for the assault. I called Sandy's 150 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: mom to ask her about all of this. Hello, yeah, Melissa, 151 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: Hi Joanne, I just missed a call from you. Yeah, yeah, Well, 152 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: how's SI's going? I told Joanne what I found the 153 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: reference to the three police reports involving Sandy as a victim. 154 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: She didn't know about them, she said, but she faintly 155 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: recalled that something strange had happened at the mall. I 156 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: never heard that from Sandy, but her good friends Sandra 157 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Sheridan had told me, and I think Sandy might have 158 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: said something to her father, But I don't know if 159 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know how it ended or how it came out, 160 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: or what happened to it. What did Sandy Sheridan tell you? 161 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: And when did she tell you? After Sandy's desert before that? 162 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: I think it was before that. I think she called 163 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: me because she wanted me to talk to Ronald about it, 164 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: because she said, we have a security guy that marks 165 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: her out to the car now after she gets through 166 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: her shift. Because she worked at the mall and it 167 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: was a new you know, it was a big mall 168 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,479 Speaker 1: and it was new, and I guess somebody was following us. 169 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: I didn't know that she had been assaulted. Almost every 170 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: time I talked to Joanne, she brings up Sandy Sheridan, 171 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: And this is one of the reporting goals I really 172 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: wanted to achieve for the bills. I wanted to find 173 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: her because she was Sandy's best friend and probably knows 174 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: more than anyone else about what was going on in 175 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: her life. I think she's married and has a different 176 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: last name now, so it's been hard to track her down. 177 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: Joanne hasn't lost hope, though, the last time I talked 178 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: to her. She said she was optimistic that Sandy Sheridan 179 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: might hear the podcast and come forward. Sandy, if you're listening, 180 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: we want to hear your story. I asked Joanne why 181 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: she thought Sandy Sheridan called the house all those years 182 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: ago to tell her about the situation at the mall. 183 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, because we never discussed it. I took 184 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: it for granted that it was taken care of, either 185 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: by the security God or her father talked to her 186 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: into doing something different. I didn't know if Ronald got 187 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: involved with that or not. I you know, maybe when 188 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: she told him that somebody was the security God was 189 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: going to help her, you know, to you know, maybe 190 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Ronald felt but I won't get involved. You know, he 191 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: was busy, you know, trying to take care of the 192 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: family working. So I don't know all the ins and 193 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: outs about what happened here. In my many conversations with Joanne, 194 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: she'd never mentioned this to me, the fact that a 195 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: man had been following Sandy at the mall. She had 196 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: completely forgotten about it, and so had Detective Shozhelski until 197 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: I refreshed his memory with these notes. To be honest, 198 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't that surprising to me these incidents. They happened 199 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: months before her death, and the actual conduct the stalking. 200 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: In the seventies, stalking wasn't called stalking, and it wasn't 201 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: taken all that seriously. The threshold for tolerating unwanted male 202 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: attention was different at that time, and I imagine that 203 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: the guy who was following Sandy was seen as an 204 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: annoyance and nothing more. I wasn't able to track him 205 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: down based on the information included in Shazhelski's notes, and 206 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: the original reports are no longer available. Well, Alyssa, it's 207 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: good talking to you, honey. Oh I'm good talking to 208 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you too. I did a news archive search about the 209 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: Landover Mall and it turns out that it wasn't such 210 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: a safe place when Sandy worked there in nineteen seventy five, 211 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: the same year Sandy was assaulted, three different women were 212 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: abducted from the parking lot and raped in three separate incidents. 213 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: The victims were fifteen, seventeen, and twenty five years old. 214 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: The perpetrators were caught, and none of their names matched 215 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: Sandy Stalker. But this context might help explain the safety 216 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: measures put in place to help Sandy, like the security 217 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: guard who walked her to her car. I don't have 218 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: any evidence that Sandy Stalker continued to bother her after 219 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: the last known incident in July nineteen seventy six, seven 220 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: months before she died, and there's nothing at the scene 221 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: of her death that points to his involvement. But knowing 222 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: about his existence, it puts her whole experience with law 223 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: enforcement in a new light. We already knew that Sandy 224 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: had met cops just going about her day. She saw 225 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: them in the neighborhood and interacted with them at the 226 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: drug store, but now we know that on multiple occasions 227 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: Sandy appealed to them for help as a victim of 228 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: a crime. Shizhelski told me that Sandy would have reported 229 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: these incidents at the Seat Pleasant Station, which was the 230 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: police precinct around the corner from Sandy's house. A lot 231 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: of the officer names in her address books worked at 232 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: this station, including Ray from My Life as a Cop 233 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: Freak and Mark, whose card she had on her when 234 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: she died. In the last episode, I put out a 235 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,239 Speaker 1: call to listeners to share their experiences with police Explorer 236 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: programs or police sexual violence in general, and I've received 237 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: a number of powerful messages so far. One person told 238 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: me how they had a positive experience in an Explorer 239 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: program and learned a lot of great skills, but most 240 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: of those who emailed were survivors speaking their truth. One 241 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: woman described how she joined an Explorer program when she 242 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: was sixteen, a junior in high school, and was sexually 243 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: abused by a cop in his thirties. She wrote, quote, 244 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: it has been hard for me to come to terms 245 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: with it because at the time, it was what I 246 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: thought I wanted. I was infatuated, I felt noticed, wanted, 247 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: and special by someone who was seen as a hero 248 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: and role model by a whole community. I can relate 249 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: to Sandy so much because of this, and it breaks 250 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: my heart that her memory was smeared to save the 251 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: reputation of monsters. It was always drilled into our head 252 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: that females just caused problems and we were to blame 253 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: for male law enforcement officers getting in trouble. They create 254 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: this environment that makes the few women feel like it's 255 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: a privilege for them to be involved, like they owe 256 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: every man something just for doing the same job. It's 257 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: like there's an unwritten code among females in male dominated fields. 258 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: We never acknowledge any wrongdoing against us because we are 259 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: quote tough and we just want to fit in. Next week, 260 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: we jumped back into Sandy's story, revisiting the evidence at 261 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: the scene of her death with top experts. Was she 262 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: meeting with someone who did she have relations with in 263 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: the hours prior to her death? What happened? Was there 264 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: a breakup? We don't know, and that's kind of the 265 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: big question here. Why was she in this muddy area, 266 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, sort of next to the barracks. I'm Melissa 267 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Jelson and this is what happened to Sandy Beale. Thank 268 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: you so much for listening.
