Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, a gorgeous twenty four year

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: old beauty seemingly disappears into thin air. Where is Alexis?

3
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, see Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: for being with us here at Fox Nation and Serious

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: XM one eleven. First of all, take a listen to

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: our friend Leslie Brinkley KGO ABC seven. It just felt

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: like a regular day. She asked if she had mail

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: at the post office. That was last Wednesday afternoon, January

9
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. Gwinn Gabe said. By the next morning, his

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: younger sister, Alexis Gabe had not come home to the

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: apartment she shares with her parents. What is it that

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: made you feel that this was serious? This was a

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: scary situation for her to disappear because usually she comes

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: home because she has responsibilities. She dropped my brother off

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: at school. The family launched an intensive search around Brentwood

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: and Oakley. That afternoon, they found her light blue Infinity

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: abandoned on a residential street, keys still in the car.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: As soon as my parents got there, my dad was like,

19
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: open the trunk, so I unlock the trunk. ND I

20
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: opened it up and it was nothing there nothing there.

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: That was Yeah, Yeah, harrowing for sure. Yeah, that's what

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to have to look in a car

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: trunk for your daughter, for your sister. That's exactly what

24
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: you don't want. And that is the point at which

25
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Alexis family has found themselves. They go, they find her

26
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: car and look in the trunk for twenty four year

27
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: old Alexis. How did they know she was missing? What

28
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: led up to it? What is this area? So many

29
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: questions in the search for Alexis. Gabe again, I'm Meancy Grace.

30

00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: Special guests joining us right now Alexis older brother, Gwen Gabe,

45
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: and his girlfriend Morgan Strenfell to everyone. Thank you. Gwen first,

46
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: to you, when did she first realize Alexis had seemingly vanished? Oh? Well,

47
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: it was a Thursday morning when my little brother was

48
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: texting me asking where she was because she was supposed

49
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: to drop him off to school. How old is your

50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: little brother? He just turned fifteen a couple days ago,

51
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: and she normally takes him to school, drives him to school. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: she does every morning and she picks him off out

53
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: to school. You know what you're saying to me right

54
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: now is very powerful, Gwen. Gwen Gabe is Alexis brother.

55
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Because if I did not take my children and pick

56
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: them up from school every single day, anybody that knows

57
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: our family professionally personally would know I had to either

58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: be in the hospital or worse not to be there,

59
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: because that's just something you don't miss. You don't leave

60
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: a child standing there the last one, everybody's gone and

61
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: they're just standing there. No, that is not going to happen.

62
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: So she typically picked him up and dropped him off

63
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: every day. And you know what Mark Klass, founder Class

64
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Kids Foundation, And that's what it's called routine evidence. And

65
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't mean routine evidence as in it's typical, it's

66
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: running the medal evidence. I mean it's evidence of behavior

67
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: of routine, not just behavior, because behavior can vary, routine

68
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: typically does not vary. And right there, when she was

69
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: not there to take the little brother to school that morning,

70
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: everybody's just set off alarm bells. And that's very significant.

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Mark class Well, it is very significant because this was

72
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: a woman who had her patterns, as you mentioned, and

73
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: the pattern was broken. So absolutely everybody went went into

74
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: a high alert at that point and they haven't let up.

75
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: They've done a tremendous job of looking for Alexis. I

76
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: was just thinking about what that clue right their main

77
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Sharyl McCollum, because you know, one of the first things

78
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: you want to do is establish your timeline, because that

79
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: means so much to a case. It's so critical who

80
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: was with her at that time, where had she been,

81
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: had she been at the grocery store. Did somebody follow

82
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: her out? You know? You and I worked on a

83
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: case where a woman didn't know it, but she was

84
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: followed from the from the grocery store to the pharmacy.

85
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: And when she got back in the car, the three

86
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: little children remember her, Jackie, miss Beatty. Some per rises

87
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: up out of the back seat. Where thy knife? Okay?

88
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Now what I wanted to know was where had she been?

89
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: How did she not see this guy? Who is this guy?

90
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking right now. Where had Alexis been?

91
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: Has she been at the grocery store? Has she been

92
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: at the library? Has she been at work? I know

93
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: one thing. She wasn't there to take a little brother

94
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: to school like she did every single morning. Evidence of routine, Cheryl,

95
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: A lot of timeline start with that, no question about it.

96
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: She was reliable, She was dependable. She did this every

97
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: morning that he had school, and he knew it. And

98
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: he was smart enough to call his brother and say, look,

99
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: something's all right because she's always here. You know. Another

100
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: thing about this, to you, Karen, start a lot of people,

101
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I think you can identify this with this as well.

102
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: You might not go to your own doctor appointment, or

103
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: your dentist appointment, or you might forget to take your pill,

104
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: or you're this or you're that supposed to do. But

105
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder. It would be a lot harder

106
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: for me to let down my children than it would

107
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: be from Eedle to ignore something for myself. I'm not

108
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: verbalizing this farewell, but I don't I think she might

109
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: ignore something that she was supposed to do for herself,

110
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: but to not take her little brother to school and

111
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: leave him high and dry, I don't see it, But

112
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean she's she's also we know she's extremely reliable

113
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: and she understands that they are depending on her. And

114
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: when you have someone depending on you, if it's a

115
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: little brother or your children, that makes a big difference.

116
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: You can not take care of you, like you said,

117
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: but you're certainly going to take care of the people

118
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: that are depending on you that you love. Let's go

119
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: out to our friend from KATV Fox to joining ouside

120
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: the Bay area, Amanda King, Tana, I mean, thank you

121
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: for being with us. I really appreciate it. I want

122
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to hear about the area Antioch, California and the vehicle

123
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: found Brent with California. Let's start with Antioch. What's the

124
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: population about one hundred and twenty thousand. Yeah, so she

125
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: is from Oakley, so that's mainly where the search has

126
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: been in Oakley because that's where she lives with her family.

127
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: But she was last seen in Antioch. Yeah, I want

128
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: to talk about Antioch. Is it rural? Is it? What

129
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? It's it's a bigger city in that area,

130
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: but it's surrounded by a very moral area. It's east

131
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: of San Francisco, so about an hour from San Francisco,

132
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: but a pretty tight knit community over there. Now. The

133
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: reason I ask Wendy Patrick, California Prosecutor, is because the

134
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: area means a lot to me. For instance, if you're

135
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, for Pete's sake, anybody right now, they've got

136
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: a serial killer killing homeless people, so already kill three

137
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: that we know off. It's like a needle in a haystack.

138
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: It could be one of millions and millions of people.

139
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: When you're in an area like Antioch, that's where she

140
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: was last saying, and there's one hundred thousand people living

141
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: there similar to where I grew up. That really limits

142
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: your number of persons of interest. Agree, disagree, Mindy Patrick, agree, Nancy,

143
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you one reason it does is you

144
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: most likely know people in your town. I know, one

145
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: hundred thousand may sound like a lot of people, but

146
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet if they go to the same

147
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: grocery store, library, fitness centers. And when someone goes missing,

148
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: you're going to want to know where she last was.

149
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: You're going to want to know who she last spoke to.

150
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: And when you disregard a family obligation, you at the

151
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: very least know that this is not normal and that

152
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: you're going to want to start asking questions surrounding maybe

153
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: even that apple obligation. So you're right. Small towns are

154
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: more close knits and provide richer leads to try to

155
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: help authorities find the missing person. Chery will column. You

156
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: ever heard of the confluence? Okay? So we took the

157
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: twins across the country in an RV and one of

158
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: the places we went to was the beautiful arch in

159
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, right, and we went hiking. And this was

160
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: right after COVID had hit and everything was That's why

161
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: we went into RVY because we don't want to be

162
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: in hotels. We camped out the whole way and it's

163
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: where the Mighty Mississippi and the Muddy Missouri Okay seorg

164
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: they joined together the confluence. This area is beautiful Antioch.

165
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: That's where the San Joaquin and the Sacramento rivers join

166
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: and then they head to the Pacific Ocean. And once

167
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: you've seen something like that, never forget it. It's beautiful

168
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: and it's very, very tear isolated. But there's a lot

169
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: of rural area, a lot of forests, a lot of

170
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: countryside in that area, and that really changes the complexion

171
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: of the case when you have somebody to go missing

172
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: in an area like Antioch. Again, I'm going to start

173
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: with the vehicle because I'm gonna work backwards from there

174
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: because I know the ending the Indian is the car

175
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: is here and she's not with it. So I'm going

176
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: to work for any video that I can find, and

177
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: then I'm going to literally follow the cameras. So if

178
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: I have her leaving this neighborhood on Trenton Street, and

179
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: then I can pick her up at a bank, if

180
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I can pick the car up at a convenience store

181
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: or a church or a school, anybody else that has

182
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: a camera, if they have the flock system, there of cameras.

183
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to follow backwards until I see her get

184
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: in that car park that car. What is she doing?

185
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go backwards until I can intersect

186
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: her and a potential Well, you're absolutely right. The car's

187
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the latest piece of evidence we have. You know, this

188
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: is Wendy. You know, one thing I would look at

189
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: is that her car was found on a residential street.

190
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: It wasn't in a ditch, it wasn't in a laden,

191
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: It was on a residential street with me and who

192
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: aren't going somewhere? Where was she on the way to

193
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: or the way from? So I agree that's a huge

194
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: piece of evidence. Time stories with Nancy Grace, you know,

195
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: you hear people that go missing and then years later

196
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: their cars found like in a body of water or

197
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: a river or something, and nobody knew it was there.

198
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: It's not like her car went down a ravine. It's

199
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: not like it's found in the water. She didn't crash

200
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: into a fixed stops like a tree or stop sign.

201
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Her car sitting there, So why is she not in it?

202
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: Was she apprehended? Did somebody put her car there? Did

203
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: she even drive her car there? And that would make

204
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: me want the car to be processed on the inside

205
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: and out, including the driver's side handle, the steering wheel,

206
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the dash, the seat belt, the console, the everything, the ignition,

207
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: remember and the race of hallback case. Stephen Avery making

208
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: a murderer. His DNA is found on the ignition in

209
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: her car. Well, Nancy, everything matters. Jump in the review

210
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: mirror is a good place to do as well, because

211
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: people just inadvertently do that. It's almost like a habit.

212
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Side mirror, rearview mirror, the seat position, and remember in

213
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: Tera Grinstead the seat and Terra's car had been moved

214
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: back for a taller person to drive her car. She

215
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: was very petite. So what do I know? The keys

216
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: are in the car, but the car was not running,

217
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: which means whoever drove that car last had to shut

218
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: the keys off. I like the way you said, who

219
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: drive the car? We don't know if she drive for

220
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: a car there, guys, take a listen to our cut.

221
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: Four a is Rob nespit K and four. Alexis's family

222
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: says it's not like her to go this long without

223
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: at least texting or calling. Today was especially hard on

224
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: them as they come to grips with what might have

225
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: happened a people person who made new friends wherever she went.

226
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Very outgoing. Gwyn Gabe says Alexis Gabe wasn't just his sister,

227
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: but also his best friend. The recent college graduate has

228
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: been missing since Wednesday night. Gwen's girlfriend, Morgan Strunfell, says

229
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: there were several reasons to worry as soon as her

230
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: friends hadn't heard from her all night. Essentially that was

231
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: the first stred flag. The fact that she never came home,

232
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: second red flag, and then obviously finding her car key's

233
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: in the admission doors unlocked was huge. You're hearing the

234
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: voices of Alexis' brother, Gwen Gabe, who was joining us,

235
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: and his girlfriend who was taking a very active role

236
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: in the search for Alexis. Morgan's trend Fell. Morgan, thank

237
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: you again to you and get Gwen for being with us. Morgan,

238
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: tell me when you first learned it, Alexis seemingly just vanished. Um, well,

239
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: the situation kind of started Thursday morning. I mean you

240
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of. It's the middle of the week, so everyone

241
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: is just going about their daily routine, as you said,

242
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: and there had been some conversation back and forth between

243
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the two brothers like that Alexis hadn't made it home

244
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: to take him to school, and Gwen, her older brother,

245
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: was in class himself, so he had called me and

246
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: asked if I was headed home or would be home soon,

247
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: because he wanted to see if maybe Alexis was at

248
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: our place where we live. So I went and go

249
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: on ahead and headed straight home, and I said that

250
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: I would meet him there when I got here to

251
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: our place. There was no sign, offer or anything like that.

252
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I really didn't think of anything of it at that point.

253
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: It was when Gwen met me here at the house,

254
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: and then we spoke with his parents to maybe twenty

255
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: thirty minutes after that. This would have been at like

256
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: eleven on Thursday morning, and at this time her parents

257
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: were pretty worried and wanted us to go ahead and

258
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: move forward with filing a missing person's report, because at

259
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: this point we had spoken with her friends and anyone

260
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: that we could have thought she would have been with,

261
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: and nobody had heard from her since the night previous.

262
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: You know, Morgan, it must have just felt like a

263
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: horrible dream. Because you hear about disappearances, you read about them.

264
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: But I guess in the back of my mind, I'm

265
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: thinking about when my son went missing inside of babies

266
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: or a superstore. When he went missing, all I could

267
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: think of were other cases I'd read about were children

268
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: his age was about three at that time, had gone

269
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: missing from a mall or a store, and I thought, this, this,

270
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: this is not happening. He's got to be here somewhere.

271
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: Of course, I was screaming, bloody murder and for them

272
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: to lock the doors and start screaming and running with

273
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: my daughter, who was his twin under my arm like

274
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: a football Mark class. I'm sure you've heard the story

275
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: so many times. I hate to even tell it with

276
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: you listening, but it it was real, but it seemed surreal.

277
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: I guess what did that feel like? I can remember,

278
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: like thinking back to that day driving to the police station.

279
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: We were going to meet her friends there so that

280
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: we could have as much information for the police officer

281
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: as possible. And I remember my mom called me when

282
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: we were on our way there, and I remember telling

283
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: her like, Alexis is missing. But I didn't saying that

284
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: then didn't feel like it feels now. Obviously it's been

285
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: close to two months now, and she did. It just

286
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: not feel real at that time, Like he thought, Okay,

287
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: we're going to find or this is some screw. Yeah.

288
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean obviously in the beginning, you are incredibly hopeful

289
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: because you're like, Okay, well, there's got to be some

290
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: reasonable explanation, like maybe she fell asleep somewhere and her

291
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: phone died. Maybe she just hasn't been able to charge

292
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: her phone. Like, you go through all of the logical reasons,

293
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: and at a certain point you kind of have to

294
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: face what's in front of you. And when we found

295
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: her car, dimerative in your head shifts for sure. So

296
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: what about that moment, Gwen, Gay, this is Alexis brother

297
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: and guys we use those just joining us. Let me

298
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: give the tip line right now nine two five six

299
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: two five eight zero six zero repeat nine two five

300
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: six two five eight zero six zero. We are looking

301
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: for Alexis Gabe, twenty four years old, beautiful on the

302
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: inside and the outside. Gwen, her brother joining us. Gwen,

303
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: when you pulled up and you saw her car sitting there,

304
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: what went through your mind? M just to look for

305
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: any clues? Um. Immediately I looked through the windows see

306
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: if anywhere was stuff was in there, and I saw

307
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: the keys that were in the car, and I told

308
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I told everyone that the keys were in the car

309
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: and my cousin opened the door so it was unlocked,

310
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: and immediately we just started looking through the car and

311
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I was at that point, um, it still didn't feel real. Um.

312
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: But looking back now, I think I was just in shock.

313
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want to believe it. M It's it's definitely

314
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: something you you wouldn't find yourself being in a situation.

315
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: So it was definitely unreal for me. So out of

316
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: the ordinary. You know, Mark Class joining me is really

317
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: a legends hero to crime victims all across our Country's

318
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Mark Class k l A A S. Mark. I don't

319
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: think I ever tells you this. My husband travels a

320
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: lot for his business all over and he texts me

321
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: whenever he takes off, texts me when he lands, and

322
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: then we try to talk on the phone. But I'm

323
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: so busy, you know, trying to work and take care

324
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: of the children. A lot of time, I don't pick

325
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: the phone up when he calls. And that's just sp

326
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't vary. And there was a time Mark Class

327
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: he texts when he landed. I think it was in Miami.

328
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a place. I mean, here's a

329
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of crime there. Then I suddenly realized about eleven

330
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: o'clock that night, I never heard from him again. So

331
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: it's like three o'clock that afternoon, and that is totally

332
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: out of character. Well, let me tell you Mark class.

333
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: About four am, I finally find him at a hotel.

334
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: I think he's in his room asleep. You damn well

335
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: better be in there alone, number one. But I was

336
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: more worried about him having a heart attack. That's how

337
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: odd it is that he didn't text. I finally, somehow

338
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: long distance bullied and begged and pleaded and cried and

339
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: carried on and got the night clerk to go not

340
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: on his door with his cell phone on and check,

341
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: and David was just completely passed out of sleep. I

342
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: mean he had gotten up the morning before at three

343
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: am to catch an early flight. Blah blah blah. Can

344
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I tell you how many hospitals I called? How many this?

345
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: How many that? I mean, just trying to make sure,

346
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: because like you're hearing Gwen say, you see the car,

347
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: it's totally out of the ordinary. It's something that doesn't happen,

348
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: that feeling. And I just got to ask you that

349
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: I can't believe there's a question I haven't asked you

350
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: about Polly's disappearance. When you were first confronted with the

351
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: fact that your girl, Polly was missing, did it even

352
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: seem real to you? Did you think, oh, this is

353
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: some script, this is a misunderstanding. Well, no, Nancy, it didn't. Actually,

354
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: I was asleep when we got the phone call, the

355
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: midnight phone call that nobody wants to receive, and it

356
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: was somebody telling me that Polly had been kidnapped. I

357
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: did a couple of things immediately, and it didn't feel real.

358
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't particularly freaking out yet at that point.

359
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: But the very first thing I did was called the

360
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: Pedaluma Police Department just to confirm that my daughter had

361
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: been reported missing, and once they were able to verify

362
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: who I was, they told me that she was missing.

363
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: The second thing I did is contacted the FBI and

364
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: basically begged them for their help. Then we did not,

365
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: obviously did not go back to sleep, and it was

366
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: only the next morning, at about six o'clock when the

367
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: news station, the local radio station, news radio station announced

368
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: that Polly class had been kidnapped, that it hit me

369
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: like a ton of bricks. It completely freaked me out.

370
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: And we quickly gathered some of our belongings and drove

371
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: up the Pedaluma, which was about a thirty mile trip,

372
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: and didn't return for over two months while we were

373
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: looking for Polly. Now, I have to say that her

374
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: case is so very different from this case in many

375
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: of the cases, because she's an adult, and you know,

376
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: there's an old trope in law enforcement that if they're

377
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: an adult, they're doing what they want to do and

378
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be interfered with, or that you have to

379
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: wait twenty four hours to make a missing person report

380
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: with law enforcement. And fortunately, in this case, because of

381
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: the wonderful advocacy of Morgan and Gwyn, people took this

382
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: very seriously from the very beginning, and her case did

383
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: not have a really cold period. It was a hot

384
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: case from moment one. People were aware of it, and

385
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: people were concerned about it, and people were taking action

386
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: about it. And I think that's kind of a wonderful

387
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: thing for both the family and their advocacy in law enforcement. Well,

388
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: you're right, Mark, class brother, Gwyn and his girlfriend Morgan

389
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: on this hit the ground run just like you, Dave

390
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: when Polly went missing. Take a listen to our cut eight.

391
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: This is Amanda Quintana, our friend from KTV. Alexis Gabe

392
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: didn't come home on January twenty six. Her family found

393
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: her car abandoned on a seemingly random street in Oakley

394
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: the next day with the keys in the ignition. But

395
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: there hasn't really been any new information since then. So

396
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: next week members of the Class Kids Foundation will be

397
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: arriving as a nonprofit that will help organize and train

398
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: volunteers to search for Alexis. Motions are definite coming out

399
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: a lot more. My parents are still not doing so well.

400
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: We're about to enter week four in the disappearance of

401
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Alexis Gabe. That realization is especially hard on her brother

402
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Gwynn and his girlfriend Morgan. The two have been leading

403
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: efforts to find her and we're looking brandsers is waiting

404
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: on getting harder crime stories with Nancy Grace to Amanda

Speaker 1: the Bay Area again, thank you so much, Amanda for

407
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: being with us. A random street What does that mean?

408
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: Was it at the end of a cul de sac

409
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: as parked on the side of the street as if

410
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: she was going into that house? Describe where the car

411
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: was talking to the family. She had no connection to

412
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: that street. She didn't know anyone that lived there. She

413
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: didn't have any friends really in that area. But it

414
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: is a dead end street and kind of kind of

415
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: a cul de sac next to it, But a dead

416
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: end street that she had no connection to. Wow, a

417
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: dead end street. Let me ask you this, Guen Gabe,

Speaker 1: this is Alexis brother was at part at the end

419
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: of the street. No, it was parked on the side,

420
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: not even near the cul de sact like near the

421
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: entrance of the street. The search is on for Alexis Gabe.

422
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut eleven Philippe de jall

00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: Alexis Gabe, an effort organized by the Class Kids Foundation.

426
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: The teams are spread out across eastern Contra Costa County,

427
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: checking remote areas off the beaten path for the Oakley residence.

428
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: We are coordinating with the police department in terms of

429
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: areas that they have wanted us to focus on. The

430
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: Oakley Police Department is leading the investigation into Alexis's disappearance.

431
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: Her older brother, Gwynn, and his girlfriend Morgan Strenfel stationed

432
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: at the Contra Costa County fair Grounds in Antioch, the

433
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: staging area for the search. I'm holding in a lot

434
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: of anger and frustration and every day get a little

435
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: more angry sheet more frustrated, but grateful for the attention

436
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: and support his family has received from the community. I'm

437
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out her amazements leaning up to her

438
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: disappearance to Morgan Strenfield, who is helping Alexa's brother Gwyan

439
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: lead to search. Where was she there not before she

440
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: gets missing? M As far as we know, we spoke

441
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: with her, and by we I mean her brother and

442
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I spoke with her around four thirty on Wednesday, and

443
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: then we know that she dropped her little brother often

444
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: off at the apartment slash shows with her parents. That

445
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: was around the same time, around like four thirty five,

446
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: and then she also spoke with her best friends around

447
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: six thirty. At that time, she was still at her apartment.

448
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: She was just in her car in the parking lot.

449
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: And then after that, as far as we knew, she

450
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: said that she was coming to see Gwen. She told

451
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: multiple people that, But it looks like she went to

452
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend's house and that is the house of

453
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Annioch two Amanda Quetana joining us, Katie du Fox too,

454
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: so we know she's alive and well. At six thirty

455
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: pm the night before she goes missing, that would have

456
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: been JAM twenty six correct, Yes, okay? And were there

457
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: any phone calls or text after six thirty pm? No?

458
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: From what I understand, talking to texting with her friends

459
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: was the last people that heard from her, and that

460
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: was at six thirty. Yes. Do we know Amanda Qutana

461
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: if her phone was payed after that? Has her cell

462
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: phone been found? Police have not released any information on that.

463
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: But from what I understand, once she was missing and

464
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: her family was looking for her, her phone was off

465
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: so they would call straight to voicemail. Cheryl McCollum, forensics

466
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: expert joining us, Cheryl, what about that This is not

467
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: like her to have her phone off. No, it's not

468
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: like her at all. I'm gonna want any data they

469
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: could be gotten from her vehicle if there's a computer

470
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: in her car, And I also want to know about

471
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: her cell phone and when those two things separated. When

472
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: did the phone stop and when did the car stop?

473
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: Because I don't think it's going to be at the

474
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: same time. I think the phone was done first and

475
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: then the car was abandoned. You know what else I want?

476
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I want every ring doorbell comes a residential area. You

477
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: don't think everybody doesn't have a ring or something like

478
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: a ring doorbell, right, Remember how that cracked the Molly

479
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: Tibbott's case. Absolutely wonderful. Young Coe goes jogging. Ultimately I

480
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: believe it was a ring doorbell cam cease her going by.

481
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: But then they also see a car going by, coming back,

482
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: going by, coming back, and that car had unusual markings

483
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: I think, like scrapes on it. That's how that car

484
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: was found and the person's driving the car number one

485
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: suspect in her murder. Okay, so there you go. One

486
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: more thing I want, Nancy, is anybody with a lift

487
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: or an Uber pickup in that Vifinity. So what I

488
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: want to know is about the ring doorbells. I want

489
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: to find out about home security surveillance, another thing to

490
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: that area. Out to you, Gwen gab this is Alexis's brother.

491
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: We've been covering in Casey Alex Murdock case who says

492
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: he was shot on a rural road where there is

493
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: no cameras. And my question was when you turn onto

494
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: that road, what said the intersection? Turns out there's a

495
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: Baptist church there with a camera. Were there any businesses

496
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: anywhere near that subdivision that could catch people coming in

497
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: and out? Gwyn? Do you know from my understanding sort

498
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: of one side of the street there aren't any cameras

499
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: coming in there, and on the other side there are.

500
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: To me, that means yes, Gwyn, sort of that's a yes.

501
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't care where the camera is. If there's a camera,

502
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: I want to see it. So, if she drove the car,

503
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: what evidence would be looking for. If she did not

504
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: drive the car, that means she's somewhere else. Was there

505
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: a car jack? What do we know to you, Amanda Kitana?

506
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: Did she make it to the boyfriend's house? We believe

507
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: so from you know, in talking to the family and

508
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: what little information police have put out, we believe that

509
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: she did go to the boyfriend's house. Okay, Mark Class Founder,

510
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: Class Kids Foundation. What do we need to do now? Well,

511
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: we have to understand the law enforcement is keeping this

512
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: investigation very very close and they are not releasing a

513
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: lot of information. Is as we're finding out here and

514
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: what has to happen now is they have to be

515
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: left to do this investigation and we have to continue

516
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: with the searches on a weekly basis, hopefully on a

517
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: weekly basis, so that we can work together to bring

518
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: this to a conclusion. As was mentioned about Antioch and Oakley,

519
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: it's a suburban area, but it's it's a remote suburban area,

520
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of open land. It's a beautiful,

521
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: beautiful terrain, but a lot of it's open. So, you know,

522
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: the opportunities to do something with a missing body, and

523
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that example. We're looking for our many and

524
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: varied so you know, we've all got our work cut

525
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: out for us to assign good searches and to get

526
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: our wonderful volunteers and there have been hundreds of them,

527
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: and we hope they'll keep coming back to search for

528
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: this girl until this case is concluded, and hopefully that

529
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: will be sooner rather than later. We know for a

530
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: fact she did make it to the boyfriend's house. I

531
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: know that for a fact, and this is how I

532
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: know it. Take a listen our cut six our friency

533
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: k in fourth Tuesday afternoon, Anioch Police removed several March

534
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: bags from this home on ben Tree Way as part

535
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: of a search warrant execution. The home is believed to

536
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: belong to the ex boyfriend of twenty four year old

537
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Alexis Gabe. It was also the last place she was

538
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: reportedly seen. A statement was made by her ex boyfriend

539
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: that she was at his house until nine pm on

540
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: Wednesday night and after that she did not return home. Yes,

541
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: the police have questioned him more than once and have

542
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: taken his statement. We are not in contact with him,

543
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: so we don't know any other information regarding the ex boyfriend.

544
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: Among some of the items removed by investigators from that

545
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: home on Tuesday was a vacuum cleaner. Investigators hope the

546
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: items can provide answers on where they can find Gabe,

547
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: who was last seen on Wednesday. The very next day,

548
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: her car found abandoned with the key still inside of

549
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: the ignition. Amanda Kingtana KATV. How far from the boyfriend's

550
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: place was Alexis car found? Not far, But like I

551
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,959
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, his place is in Antioch and her car

552
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: was found in Oakley, so different cities. And again you know,

553
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: a random street, so her car's not near that apartment.

554
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: It's about five miles. Five miles, is that Morgan? Yes,

555
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: five miles. It may be in a different town, but

556
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: it's five miles. As the crows lies, that's not very far.

557
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Mark Class, have you ever gone into a place and

558
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: you can see on the carpet where they just vacuumed?

559
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: You see the strips going back and forth. But you

560
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: love that when you go to a crime say make

561
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,959
Speaker 1: you wonder why they vacuum? It does make you wonder

562
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: why they vacuum by I believe that law enforcement is

563
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: probably onto something here. Like I say, they're keeping this

564
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: very very close, and the vacuum cleaner and other items

565
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: taken out of the house may prove very fruitful. I mean,

566
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: we have a situation where this guy claims that she

567
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: left at nine o'clock, and as Cheryl had mentioned about

568
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: the vehicle and about the phone, where do they diverge?

569
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: When did her phone go off? Tim that against the

570
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: nine o'clock moment that he said she left. I think

571
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: I think interesting things will be found out. You know,

572
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: Karen start joining me, new York psychologist joining us from Manhattan.

573
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: I always refer back to Mark Class, who happens to

574
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: be with us today, when somebody goes missing, I expect

575
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: the family, the loved ones, to do what he did. Here,

576
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: I just opened my door, coop, come on in, look

577
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: wherever you want to. Can you take my DNA, Please

578
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: take my fingerprints, my saliva. Here's my cell phone. Here's

579
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: my laptop. Here, here's my iPad, here whatever you want

580
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: my car, Here are the keys, here's the key to

581
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: my office. Just could you please hurry so you can

582
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: get past me and find who took Alexis. That's what

583
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: I would expect, would you, Karen Stark? Well, yeah, of

584
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: course you wouldn't answer, But you'd also be suspicious if

585
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: somebody didn't do that, because why not. Why wouldn't you

586
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: want to be like Mark up said, look, get me

587
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: out of the way. The first thing you did, the

588
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: first thing you did exactly when we all know that story.

589
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark was incredible at heartbreaking. But here it

590
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, No, it doesn't. Cheryl McCallan, did you

591
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: hear that the search was pursued to search warrant? I did,

592
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: And also it don'ed on me that that was a

593
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: very Nancy Grace move. Taking the entire vacuum cleanerp and

594
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely and to break your whole band and the

595
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: dust rag. And whether they're looking for hair or broken glass,

596
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: there's something significant. They know, they know they needed the

597
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: whole machine. Here's the problem with Cheryl. She would rightfully

598
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: have been there. So if you find her hair, her

599
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: fib or her DNA, it can be arguable. Of course

600
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: it's here because she's here all the time, because this

601
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: is her boyfriend. Was this her Amanda Keetana, her boyfriend

602
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: or her ex boyfriend from what the family has told

603
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: me ex boyfriend. Hey, Nancy, I gotta jump in jump

604
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: at this point. Again, her hair might belong there, but

605
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: inside a brand new vacuum cleaner back and he's gonna

606
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: vacuum after she leaves. Again, that's just it may be cucumstantial,

607
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: but it's pretty good. And especially that if it is

608
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: hair or something like that, if it's with bloody glass

609
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: or something else, that's going to be significant. I think

610
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: at this point we need canines, we need drones, because

611
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: I read that he has not participated in the searches.

612
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: So here you have Mark Class telling you I begged

613
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: the FBI for help, and here this person that dated

614
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: her for three years has not even helped look for her.

615
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: I wonder, Wendy Pasta, if that was an ex boyfriend,

616
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: why was she going over there anyway? Was she lord there?

617
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: Did she had to go pick something up? Were they

618
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: getting back together? I mean, I'm just curious, Wendy Pastrick.

619
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm also curious about that car. If the apartment had

620
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: just been vacuumed, had the car been wiped down. It's

621
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: not just what you said, but what you can't find

622
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: that matters. It's true, and what you can't find is

623
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: going to be what happens at night. And so if

624
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: she supposedly left at nine pm, you may have less

625
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: ring camera video to work with. It may be grainier,

626
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: there may be less people that were around who have

627
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: seen anything suspicious. And you know, it's ironic. We've been

628
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: talking about this gorgeous landscape in this area that just

629
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: provides more opportunity to hide a body, which is why

630
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: Mark Class and others are just such a hero going

631
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: forward in these volunteers that have been searching. But you're right,

632
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: there was less to work with if she left at

633
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: nine o'clock, that, my prediction, is going to become an

634
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: important piece of evidence. Thank for all we know what.

635
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: I have seen a case like this where a nurse

636
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: got off duty late at night and she was spotted

637
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: at a red light by a couple of guys that

638
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: didn't even know hard never seen her, and they kidnapped her.

639
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: Is not anyone connected to her? To Gwynn Gabe, what

640
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: is your message to your sister right now that my

641
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: family missus her. I think about her every night, every morning.

642
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: We're going to find her and mister stay strong, Morgan

643
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: strn failed. What is your message today? I guess just

644
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: a big thank you to all of the continued support

645
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: from everyone in keeping her story in her face out

646
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: there that helps us keep traction and pressure on the

647
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: case itself because we still don't have any answers. Our

648
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: prayers are with her mother, Rowena and Gwen, her brother

649
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: Morgan helping to search desperately, her little brother, and all
