## Transcript

[0:00] On a snowy January night in the winter of 1993, a 17 year old
[0:05] high school senior in Saint Paul told her little brother that if
[0:09] she didn't come home, he should come looking for her.
[0:12] She even named the person she didn't trust.
[0:15] Then she walked out the door and into one of Minnesota's most
[0:19] haunting cold cases. Hang Lee lived with her family
[0:23] in the McDonough Homes, a public housing complex on the North End
[0:27] of Saint Paul. The Lees were Hmong refugees,
[0:31] part of the wave of families who'd fled Laos and rebuilt
[0:35] their lives in Minnesota's long winters.
[0:38] Hang had a strong work ethic that had her picking up shifts
[0:41] at a cafe while she planned for post secondary education.
[0:46] She was saving for the University of Minnesota and also
[0:49] handing over a portion of her paycheck to her parents to help
[0:52] support the family. Hang was looking to make a bit
[0:56] more money so she could save more, and that's where this case
[0:59] begins. The setup came from an 18 year
[1:03] old acquaintance named Nikki Lee, who for clarity's sake,
[1:07] wasn't related to Hang. Nikki claimed she worked as a
[1:10] secretary for a carpentry business and that her boss was
[1:13] hiring. She told Hang she'd come by and
[1:16] introduce her sometime between 6:00 and 7:00 that evening.
[1:21] Hang pulled on her black leather jacket AT shirt, black jeans and
[1:26] her silver bracelets, and she headed out into a heavy
[1:29] Minnesota snow. Before she left, Hang made a
[1:34] point of telling her brother she didn't fully trust Nikki, though
[1:37] of course she had no idea what was in store for her.
[1:42] Nikki's version of the night eventually given to police went
[1:46] roughly like this. A man named Mark Wallace picked
[1:50] them up in a white pickup truck. They switched vehicles somewhere
[1:54] along the way, moving into a tan or silver 1988 Chevrolet
[1:58] Cavalier. The snow was coming down hard.
[2:03] Wallace dropped Nikki off 1st, and she said the last thing she
[2:06] saw was hang sliding into the front passenger seat as Wallace
[2:10] pulled back onto the road. Here's where the story gets
[2:14] worse, because Mark Wallace wasn't some random contact.
[2:18] He was 30 years old in January of 1993, and he'd been out of
[2:22] prison for roughly 18 months before that.
[2:26] He'd been serving time for two illicit assault convictions in
[2:29] 1987, which really makes me question how he was out prowling
[2:34] the streets in 1993 to begin with.
[2:38] Disturbingly, in one of those cases, he'd lured a teenager
[2:42] from Cottage Grove into his vehicle on the promise of a job
[2:46] interview and then assaulted her.
[2:49] And then, a year and a half after his release, a young woman
[2:53] disappeared after getting into his car on the promise of a job
[2:57] interview. Court filings from later years
[3:01] would add more detail to the template of his actions.
[3:05] Ex girlfriends reportedly described a man who drugged
[3:08] partners and restrained them, threatening them with worse
[3:11] violence if they planned on talking to the cops.
[3:16] For the first six months, the police investigation into Hang
[3:19] Lee's disappearance effectively went nowhere, telling her family
[3:23] that she was just a runaway. Nikki herself didn't come
[3:26] forward with Wallace's name until she saw the family's
[3:29] missing person Flyers circulating, and even then the
[3:32] case drifted. The file eventually landed years
[3:36] later with a Saint Paul investigator named Kevin Navara.
[3:41] When Navara pulled Hang's file, he discovered a strange piece of
[3:45] local history. His own father had worked the
[3:48] case decades earlier. Navara inherited it, in a way,
[3:53] the way sons sometimes inherit their father's unfinished
[3:56] business. Except he took things much more
[3:59] seriously. By 2009, Navara had enough
[4:03] probable cause to search Wallace's property, and what
[4:07] happened next is the kind of thing that should have broken
[4:10] the case wide open. 3 cadaver dogs were brought through
[4:15] Wallace's garage, and reportedly all three alerted on the same
[4:19] spot near the back wall. Ground penetrating radar was
[4:23] brought in next, and it picked up a large object buried beneath
[4:27] the floor, something roughly the shape and size of a tree trunk.
[4:31] Navara asked for permission to tear up the concrete and find
[4:34] out what was down there, but a judge said no.
[4:38] Cadaver dog hits and a shape under the floor weren't on their
[4:42] own enough to justify the demolition.
[4:46] Wallace remained a free man through the 20 tens, but I'm
[4:50] probably not going to shock you when I say his behavior didn't
[4:53] change. In 2016, he was arrested after a
[4:57] 20 year old woman was found in a motel room where he'd been
[5:01] holding her against her will. During that case, she told
[5:05] investigators that Wallace had said something chilling in an
[5:08] unguarded moment. Paraphrased, his line was that a
[5:13] woman had once walked into his business and never walked out,
[5:16] and investigators read that as a reference to Hang Lee.
[5:20] Wallace was ultimately sentenced to 54 months for felony
[5:24] kidnapping despite his previous convictions.
[5:28] Fortunately, though, he wasn't released and a civil court
[5:31] forced him into involuntary treatment due to his history of
[5:35] sick acts. He remains in a forensic
[5:38] psychiatric unit until this day, where he is apparently receiving
[5:42] treatment to try to change his nature.
[5:45] Somehow, against all odds, That's where things currently
[5:49] stand with Hang Lee's case. There have been no more
[5:52] investigations into property, and the large object that the
[5:56] sniffer dogs got a hit on has never been excavated.
[6:00] Hang Lee still remains officially classified as a
[6:03] missing person, and no one has ever been charged for her
[6:06] disappearance. A 29 year old woman said good
[6:13] morning to a stranger in her driveway.
[6:16] Seconds later, she'd been shot 4 times.
[6:20] The entire thing was captured on a doorbell camera, and the
[6:23] shooter drove away in a dark pickup truck.
[6:26] And now, more than seven years later, nobody has been arrested.
[6:31] That's the case of Elizabeth Barraza, and it's one of the
[6:34] most frustrating unsolved cases in recent Texas history.
[6:40] Elizabeth Barraza, known to most people as Liz, lived in the
[6:44] Princeton Place subdivision near Tomball, TX, roughly 30 miles
[6:49] northwest of Houston. She worked as a data reporter
[6:52] for the Rosen Group, A pipeline inspection company.
[6:56] She'd married her husband, Sergio Barraza, in 2014 after
[7:02] the two of them met while attending Sam Houston State
[7:05] University together. On the morning of Friday,
[7:09] January 25th, 2019, Liz had called off from work.
[7:15] She and Sergio were scheduled to leave two days later for a trip
[7:18] to Orlando, specifically to visit the Wizarding World of
[7:21] Harry Potter for their 5th wedding anniversary.
[7:25] The garage sale she was setting up that morning in their
[7:28] driveway on Cedar Walk Dr. was meant to raise a little extra
[7:32] spending money for the trip. She'd put out a cash box with
[7:36] about $100 in change. Sergio left for his job
[7:40] installing flooring at approximately 6:45 that morning
[7:44] while Liz stayed behind to arrange items in the driveway.
[7:48] At roughly 650 AMA dark colored truck pulled into the
[7:52] neighborhood and came to a stop near the Barraza home.
[7:56] Surveillance footage from several cameras in the area,
[7:59] including the Barraza's own doorbell camera, captured what
[8:03] happened next. A figure stepped out of the
[8:07] driver's side of the vehicle. The person was wearing a long
[8:11] jacket and tall boots and appeared to be wearing a wig.
[8:15] The figure approached Liz in the driveway.
[8:18] On the doorbell camera audio, you can hear Liz greet the
[8:22] person with a good morning. Some investigators have noted
[8:25] that the suspect may have handed Liz something, possibly a note,
[8:30] though this detail hasn't been officially confirmed.
[8:33] What happened next took only seconds.
[8:36] Four shots were fired, 3 struck Liz in the chest, one struck her
[8:41] in the head. The shooter then returned to the
[8:44] truck and drove away, leaving the engine running through the
[8:47] entire encounter. Liz was rushed to the hospital
[8:52] where she passed away from her injuries later that day.
[8:56] The $100 in the cashbox was left untouched and nothing was taken
[9:00] from the home. Simply put, this wasn't a
[9:03] robbery. Multiple neighborhood cameras
[9:07] picked up the suspect's vehicle, a dark colored Nissan Frontier.
[9:11] The doorbell camera captured the suspect approaching Liz and
[9:15] there's audio of the shooting. Investigators had more to work
[9:20] with than they do in many cases that end up getting solved, and
[9:23] yet the suspect has never been identified.
[9:27] Part of the reason is forensic. The weapon used was a revolver,
[9:31] which doesn't eject shell casings.
[9:34] Beyond that, there was absolutely no other forensic
[9:37] evidence found at the scene, such as hair fibers or
[9:40] fingerprints. Whoever did this was careful.
[9:43] And that level of care is one of the reasons the Harris County
[9:46] Sheriff's Office has long believed the shooting was
[9:49] premeditated. The disguise is another
[9:52] indicator. The long jacket and wig suggest
[9:55] the shooter was trying to obscure their appearance.
[9:58] And it worked. Investigators haven't been able
[10:02] to conclusively determine whether the suspect was male or
[10:05] female. Analysis of the footage has
[10:08] suggested the person appeared somewhat feminine in build and
[10:11] gait, which has LED some to believe that the shooter could
[10:14] potentially be a woman. However, like with so many
[10:18] things related to this attack, nothing has been confirmed.
[10:24] One of the most important questions in this case is how
[10:27] the shooter knew Liz would be alone in that driveway at that
[10:30] hour. On that particular morning, the
[10:33] garage sale hadn't been advertised online.
[10:36] Liz had posted signs that morning, but the shooter arrived
[10:40] before most people in the neighborhood would have even
[10:43] seen them. She'd called out of work, so
[10:46] only a relatively small circle of people knew her plans for the
[10:49] day. The shooter also appeared to
[10:52] time the approach for shortly after Sergio left for work,
[10:56] which suggests they may have known his schedule or been
[10:58] watching the house. This has led to speculation that
[11:02] someone, for some reason, decided to target Liz.
[11:06] Her own father has publicly stated that he believes his
[11:09] daughter was the target of a hit man, though ultimately there's
[11:13] no actual evidence to support this.
[11:16] Notably, Sergio Baraza has been thoroughly investigated,
[11:20] cooperated fully with authorities, and passed
[11:23] polygraph tests. He has not been named a suspect.
[11:28] And as of now, that's where things stand with Elizabeth
[11:31] Baraza's Case No closer to being solved today than it was when it
[11:36] happened. A torn purse, an unfinished
[11:43] note, and a young actress who walked out of her front door one
[11:46] Friday evening and was never seen again.
[11:49] That's the short version. The long version involves the
[11:53] Hollywood studio system, organized crime figures who are
[11:56] vanishing left and right, and an investigation that went cold
[12:00] before it ever really got warm. The disappearance of Jeanne
[12:05] Spangler in October 1949 remains one of Los Angeles's most
[12:09] frustrating unsolved cases, and the deeper you look into it, the
[12:13] more disturbing it becomes. Jeanne Spangler was born on
[12:18] September 2nd, 1923 in Seattle, WA, the youngest of four
[12:22] children. Her family relocated to Los
[12:25] Angeles while she was still in school, and by her teenage years
[12:30] she'd found work as a dancer at the Earl Carroll Theatre and the
[12:34] Florentine Gardens nightclub. The Florentine Gardens, in
[12:38] particular, had a reputation that extended well beyond the
[12:41] entertainment on its stage. It was a place where aspiring
[12:45] performers rubbed shoulders with studio executives, press agents
[12:50] and men whose business interests didn't show up on any legitimate
[12:54] tax return or public record. For a young woman trying to
[12:58] break into the film industry, it was exactly the kind of
[13:02] environment that could open doors or swallow you whole.
[13:06] By the late 1940s, Spangler had transitioned from nightclub work
[13:10] to film. Though transitioned might be
[13:13] generous, she landed uncredited bit parts and dance roles in
[13:17] pictures, like When My Baby Smiles at Me in 1948 and Chicken
[13:23] Every Sunday in 1949. Spangler was one of thousands of
[13:29] young women feeding the studio system's appetite for background
[13:32] players and extras. These were women who spent their
[13:36] days waiting around on sets and their evenings circulating
[13:40] through the social machinery that kept Hollywood running.
[13:44] It wasn't glamorous work at all, and the pay reflected that.
[13:49] Her personal life wasn't much easier.
[13:52] She'd married a man named Dexter Benner at 19 in 1942 and filed
[13:57] for divorce after just six months.
[14:01] Despite this, they spent the next four years in an on again,
[14:05] off again relationship before the divorce was finalized in
[14:09] 1946. They had a daughter, Christine,
[14:14] and the custody battle that followed was vicious.
[14:18] Spangler alleged that Benner had repeatedly prevented her from
[14:21] seeing Christine. She was eventually awarded sole
[14:25] custody in 1948, though the agreement came with strings
[14:29] attached. Christine couldn't be involved
[14:32] in any film projects until she was 12 and Spangler needed legal
[14:36] approval before accepting work outside California.
[14:41] On the evening of Friday, October 7th, 1949, Jean Spangler
[14:46] told her sister-in-law that she was heading out to meet Dexter
[14:48] Benner about a late support payment for their daughter.
[14:52] After that, she said she'd be going to work a night shoot on a
[14:56] film set. She left the house around 5:00
[15:01] at roughly 6A. Saleswoman at a grocery store
[15:04] only a few blocks from Spangler's home in the Wilshire
[15:07] district noticed her browsing through the stalls.
[15:11] The woman later told investigators that Spangler
[15:13] appeared to be waiting for someone around 7.
[15:18] Spangler called home and told her sister-in-law she'd be
[15:21] working the full 8 hours and probably wouldn't make it back
[15:24] that night. That brief phone call was the
[15:28] last anyone heard from her. When Spangler didn't return the
[15:32] following day, her sister-in-law filed a missing person report
[15:35] with the Wilshire Division of the LAPD.
[15:38] The initial police response was sluggish at best.
[15:42] Officers assumed she was off on some personal adventure and
[15:45] would show up on her own within a day or two.
[15:49] It took the discovery of her purse two days later to change
[15:52] the tempo of the investigation entirely.
[15:57] On October 9th, Spangler's handbag was found near the
[16:00] Ferndale entrance to Griffith Park, roughly 5 1/2 miles from
[16:04] her home. Both straps on one side had been
[16:08] torn loose, as though the bag had been ripped from her arm.
[16:13] There was no money inside, though investigators didn't
[16:16] believe robbery was the motive. What they did find was a
[16:20] handwritten note, unfinished, that read Kirk can't wait any
[16:26] longer, going to see Doctor Scott.
[16:30] It will work best this way while Mother is away.
[16:33] The note ended with a comma, as if Spangler had been interrupted
[16:37] mid sentence. Nobody in Spangler's life could
[16:40] identify a Kirk or a Doctor Scott.
[16:43] Her family and close friends drew blanks on both names.
[16:48] The note became the investigation's central puzzle,
[16:51] and it has never been solved. The discovery of the purse
[16:55] triggered one of LA's larger search operations.
[16:58] At the time, sixty officers, along with over 100 volunteers
[17:03] combed Griffith Park and found nothing.
[17:06] The detective who took charge of the case quickly fanned his
[17:09] resources out in several directions at once.
[17:12] The most immediate lead was the name Kirk, a name that was
[17:16] unfamiliar to her family given that Spangler had recently
[17:20] appeared as an uncredited extra in the film Young Man with a
[17:24] Horn, which starred Kirk Douglas.
[17:27] The press made the connection before police did.
[17:30] Douglas, who was vacationing in Palm Springs at the time, called
[17:34] the lead detective directly after reading about the case in
[17:37] the newspapers. He told investigators he barely
[17:41] knew Spangler beyond a few brief interactions on set and had been
[17:45] out of town when she disappeared.
[17:48] Police cleared him relatively quickly, and by all accounts,
[17:52] his cooperation was genuine and unprompted.
[17:56] The doctor, Scott Angle, proved equally frustrating.
[18:00] Investigators interviewed every doctor with the surname Scott in
[18:04] the Los Angeles area and came up empty.
[18:07] However, friends of Spangler offered a more troubling
[18:11] possibility. They told police that Spangler
[18:14] was approximately 3 months pregnant at the time of her
[18:17] disappearance. Witnesses who frequented the
[18:20] same nightclub circuit mentioned a former medical student known
[18:24] only as Doc, who reportedly performed then illegal back
[18:28] alley procedures for cash. Despite weeks of searching,
[18:32] police were never able to track this individual down or confirm
[18:36] he actually existed. The theory that Spangler had
[18:40] gone to see an unlicensed Dr. and that something went fatally
[18:43] wrong became one of the investigations.
[18:46] Primary working hypothesis. The unfinished note.
[18:51] The reference to a doctor, the phrasing about it working best
[18:54] while her mother was away. According to some theorists, it
[18:59] all pointed toward a planned medical procedure that Spangler
[19:02] wanted to keep private. If that procedure went wrong,
[19:06] disposing of the body and the evidence would have been
[19:08] straightforward for someone already operating outside the
[19:11] law. But there was a second, entirely
[19:15] different thread running through the investigation, and it
[19:18] involved organized crime. Spangler's years working at the
[19:22] Florentine Gardens had put her in proximity to figures
[19:25] connected to Mickey Cohen, the most powerful mob boss in Los
[19:29] Angeles at the time. Specifically, she'd been seen in
[19:33] the company of David Ogle, one of Cohen's associates in the
[19:37] Palm Springs area, in the week before she vanished.
[19:42] Here's where things get complicated.
[19:45] Ogle himself had reportedly disappeared around the same time
[19:48] as Spangler, and he'd recently been indicted on conspiracy
[19:52] charges. Another Cohen associate, Frank
[19:56] Nikolai, had also dropped off the map.
[19:58] In September 1949, customs agents in El Paso, TX reportedly
[20:04] spotted Spangler, Ogle and Nikolai together at a hotel
[20:08] after all three had vanished, though that was never confirmed.
[20:13] Subsequent sightings were reported in Las Vegas, Phoenix,
[20:17] Northern California and Mexico City.
[20:21] One theory held that Ogle and Nikolai had agreed to testify
[20:24] against Cohen in exchange for reduced sentences.
[20:28] When Cohen found out, the theory goes, he had them eliminated and
[20:33] Spangler, who happened to be with them, was collateral
[20:36] damage. The police have never officially
[20:40] closed the case, and Jeanne Spangler remains listed as a
[20:44] missing person more than 75 years after she walked out of
[20:47] her front door. Whether she died during an
[20:51] illegal medical procedure or was caught up in mob violence, we
[20:54] simply don't know. What we do know is that a 26
[20:59] year old woman left home 1 evening in 1949, told her family
[21:03] she'd be back, and never returned.
[21:07] Her torn purse was found in a park with an unfinished note
[21:10] inside, addressed to someone nobody could identify,
[21:14] referencing a doctor nobody could find.
[21:17] And that was it. The city moved on, as it always
[21:21] does. The studios kept churning out
[21:24] pictures and Jean Spangler became one more name on a list
[21:28] of people Los Angeles has simply lost.
[21:34] Hey everyone, it's Jimmy here with that usual reminder to hit
[21:37] the subscribe button and the notification bell and turn on
[21:40] all notifications. Now, with that said, let's get
[21:44] back to business. A full scholarship to medical
[21:50] school. A dream of becoming a
[21:52] neurosurgeon. 8 months of backpacking across 4 continents
[21:57] before the grind began. Jesse Galganov had everything
[22:00] mapped out and then somewhere above 15,000 feet in the
[22:05] Peruvian Andes, he stepped off the edge of the known world and
[22:09] never came back. His family spent over $1,000,000
[22:14] searching and the mountains gave them absolutely nothing but more
[22:17] questions. Jesse Galganov was 22 years old
[22:23] in the fall of 2017, and by most measures, he was doing
[22:27] everything right. He was a dual American Canadian
[22:30] citizen, raised in Montreal. He'd been an honor roll student
[22:34] throughout school and had just graduated college that May.
[22:39] He'd earned a full scholarship to the Sydney Kimmel Medical
[22:41] College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia,
[22:45] where he planned to pursue neurosurgery.
[22:48] But before diving into years of sleepless nights and clinical
[22:51] rotations, Jesse wanted to see the world.
[22:55] He planned an ambitious 8 month trip through South America,
[22:59] Southeast Asia, India and the Far East.
[23:03] It was the kind of gap year adventure that thousands of
[23:06] young people take every year. The kind that's supposed to
[23:09] broaden your horizons, not end your life.
[23:13] On September 24th, 2017, Jesse flew from Montreal to Lima in
[23:19] Peru. Three days later, on September
[23:22] 27th, he boarded an overnight bus for the roughly 8 hour ride
[23:26] to Huraz. This is a city nestled in the
[23:30] Ankash region that serves as the gateway to some of the most
[23:33] spectacular and punishing mountain trails on the
[23:37] continent. He arrived around 6:40 in the
[23:40] morning on September 28th and checked into The Came House, a
[23:45] backpackers hostel. He sent messages to his mother
[23:49] and friends confirming his arrival.
[23:51] Later that day, he texted his mother again to say he was
[23:55] heading out on the Santa Cruz Trail.
[23:58] This is a challenging 20 mile trek through the Cordillera
[24:01] Blanca mountain range. He told her he'd be out of cell
[24:04] range for a few days and would check in after October 2nd.
[24:09] It was the last she'd ever hear from him.
[24:12] The Santa Cruz Trail is a grueling multi day route that
[24:15] climbs to roughly 15,000 feet above sea level.
[24:19] It winds through glacial valleys and overexposed high altitude
[24:24] mountain passes where the weather can turn without
[24:27] warning. It's not recommended for novice
[24:30] hikers, and even experienced trekkers are advised to spend
[24:34] several days acclimatizing to the altitude before attempting
[24:38] it. Jesse had arrived in Hurrahs on
[24:41] September 28th, and by all indications, he was on the trail
[24:45] within a day or two of arrival, giving his body almost no time
[24:49] to adjust. By September 30th, he'd reached
[24:53] the Talipampa campsite, where he spent the night with two French
[24:57] hikers. They'd later tell investigators
[25:00] that Jesse appeared disoriented, was suffering from headaches and
[25:04] stomach issues, and seemed to have gotten lost on his way to
[25:08] the camp. These are textbook symptoms of
[25:11] acute altitude sickness, a condition that can rapidly
[25:15] escalate from discomfort to confusion to cerebral or
[25:20] pulmonary edema. If a person keeps climbing, the
[25:24] body essentially rebels against the thin air, and the brain can
[25:28] swell in ways that impair judgment long before the person
[25:32] realizes they're in serious trouble.
[25:35] The last confirmed sighting of Jesse Galganov came on October
[25:38] 1st, 2017. Around 3:30 in the afternoon, a
[25:45] group of Czech tourists encountered him near Punta Union
[25:48] Pass, the highest point on the trail.
[25:51] He asked them for water and appeared slightly disoriented,
[25:55] and after that there was nothing.
[25:57] His scheduled bus ticket on October 2nd went unclaimed, and
[26:01] his flight to Bolivia on October 5th was never boarded.
[26:07] Jesse's mother, Elisa Clayman, filed a missing person report on
[26:11] October 14th, 2017, after over a week of escalating worry.
[26:18] What followed was one of the most determined private search
[26:21] efforts in recent memory for a missing backpacker.
[26:25] Clayman didn't wait for the bureaucratic wheels to turn.
[26:28] She flew to Peru herself and physically retraced her son's
[26:32] steps on the Santa Cruz Trail. By November 2017, the family had
[26:38] hired Magnus International, an elite search and rescue firm, to
[26:43] conduct a professional operation.
[26:46] The effort was enormous, and drones swept the mountain
[26:49] valleys. Ground teams combed remote
[26:53] sections of trail Searchers interviewed over 200 travellers
[26:57] who'd been in the area around the same time.
[27:00] They located the French hikers and the Czech tourists.
[27:04] They tracked every known movement Jesse had made, from
[27:07] the moment he landed in Lima to the moment he vanished near the
[27:10] pass. Despite spending an
[27:13] extraordinary sum of money on private investigators, they
[27:16] found absolutely nothing, not even a shred of clothing or a
[27:20] piece of gear. One detail in the investigation
[27:25] took the case from a potential hiking accident to something far
[27:28] more troubling. The owner of the hostel in
[27:31] Harrah's initially confirmed that Jesse had stayed there, but
[27:35] when Peruvian police followed up, the owner changed his story
[27:38] and denied Jesse had ever been at the hostel at all.
[27:42] This directly contradicted the Snapchat messages Jesse had sent
[27:46] to friends from inside the hostel, confirming his presence
[27:49] there. The false statement was
[27:52] significant enough to escalate the investigation from a missing
[27:55] persons case to a criminal inquiry, though this approach
[27:59] wouldn't bear fruit. Police found that registration
[28:03] logs at the Santa Cruz Trail entry point showed no record of
[28:06] Jesse signing in, though such logs were notoriously incomplete
[28:10] and poorly maintained. The mule drivers who worked the
[28:14] trail and transport gear for hikers reportedly refused to
[28:18] cooperate with investigators, fearing they'd be held
[28:21] responsible if something had gone wrong.
[28:24] Cell phone service providers initially stonewalled requests
[28:27] for Jesse's device usage data at every turn.
[28:32] The investigation ran into walls that shouldn't have been there.
[28:36] The prevailing theory, and the one Jesse's mother has come to
[28:40] accept, is that altitude sickness did him in.
[28:45] The timeline supports it. Jesse went from sea level to
[28:49] 15,000 feet in the mountains within roughly 3 days with
[28:53] almost no acclimatization period.
[28:56] Multiple witnesses described symptoms consistent with acute
[28:59] mountain sickness, headaches, gastrointestinal distress,
[29:05] disorientation, and confusion. If his condition worsened after
[29:10] the last sighting near Punta Union, he could have wandered
[29:13] off trail in a state of impaired judgement and fallen into one of
[29:17] the many ravines or crevasses on the root.
[29:20] The Cordillera Blanca is vast, remote, and unforgiving, and
[29:25] someone who falls off the trail there may never be recovered,
[29:29] but the complete absence of any physical evidence has always
[29:32] nagged at investigators and observers alike.
[29:36] Typically, when a hiker perishes on a remote trail, something
[29:40] turns up eventually. A backpack, a jacket, a boot.
[29:45] Jesse's gear was never found. Not a single item.
[29:51] The investigators from Magnus International reportedly
[29:54] considered criminal involvement a real possibility.
[29:57] Precisely because of this total evidentiary void, Jesse's mother
[30:02] initially feared he'd been abducted, reasoning that people
[30:06] don't simply vanish without leaving something behind.
[30:10] The hostile owners lie. The uncooperative mule drivers,
[30:15] the missing trail logs. None of it proved foul play, but
[30:19] all of it created the kind of informational vacuum where
[30:22] suspicion festers. Some have suspected that someone
[30:26] may have realized that Jesse was a wealthy foreigner in a
[30:30] compromised state and kidnapped him for ransom.
[30:33] It's not an unusual crime by any means, though the obvious
[30:37] problem with this is that no ransom demand ever came forward.
[30:42] The foul play theory rests almost entirely on the absence
[30:45] of evidence rather than the presence of it, which makes it
[30:49] simultaneously impossible to prove and impossible to dismiss.
[30:57] In the early hours of September 4th, 1993, a white Chevrolet
[31:02] Astro van rolled to a stop on the corner of S 39th St. in San
[31:06] Diego. Inside that van were several men
[31:10] whose names we still don't know more than 30 years later.
[31:14] They were carrying at least one assault rifle, and based on the
[31:17] spent casings, investigators later recovered a few other
[31:21] firearms. Besides, they didn't step out.
[31:25] They didn't shout a warning. They simply opened fire on a
[31:29] small group of young people standing on a quiet residential
[31:32] corner. Within seconds, a 21 year old
[31:35] woman named Mimi Barraza was on the ground.
[31:38] She'd celebrated her birthday 2 days before.
[31:41] She had a 2 year old daughter waiting at home, and to this
[31:45] day, no one has ever been arrested in connection with her
[31:48] death. Before the shooting, Mimi
[31:52] Barraza wasn't anonymous in San Diego.
[31:55] She'd been crowned Miss Teen San Diego, a title that had put her
[31:59] in newspapers and on stages across the city.
[32:02] She was the kind of young woman who'd already started planning a
[32:05] serious future, enrolled in college, and openly talking
[32:09] about pushing on to law school. After that, friends and family
[32:13] described her as ambitious, deeply devoted to her daughter,
[32:17] and well liked by everyone who knew her.
[32:21] She was, by every available account, a young mother and
[32:25] student who happened to be standing in the wrong patch of
[32:28] sidewalk on the wrong night in 1993.
[32:33] That last detail matters because the men who fired into her group
[32:37] of friends almost certainly weren't aiming at her
[32:40] specifically. At the time of the attack, Mimi
[32:45] had stopped by a friend's house and was standing outside with a
[32:48] small group when the Astro van approached the corner.
[32:51] Witnesses later described how the bullets came from inside the
[32:54] vehicle, sweeping across the group on the sidewalk.
[32:59] One of Mimi's girlfriends took around to the leg and survived.
[33:03] Mimi herself was struck in the head by a bullet from a
[33:06] high-powered rifle, and she didn't have time to react.
[33:11] The van took off into the early morning darkness, and within
[33:15] seconds, the coroner had gone from a casual gathering to a
[33:18] crime scene. A few hours later, officers
[33:21] found the van abandoned at the intersection of 19th and G
[33:25] Street, several miles away. It had been reported stolen the
[33:29] day before, which suggests the perpetrators planned at least
[33:33] far enough ahead to grab a vehicle that couldn't be traced
[33:36] back to them. Inside the Astro, investigators
[33:40] recovered shell casings of multiple calibers, indicating
[33:44] that more than one weapon had been fired during the attack.
[33:48] That detail painted a picture of a coordinated group of shooters
[33:52] rather than a lone, agitated gunman.
[33:56] The San Diego Police Department's caught the case
[33:58] quickly, and from the beginning, their suspicions pointed toward
[34:02] a particular corner of the local underworld.
[34:05] Investigators came to believe the shooters were Hispanic males
[34:09] affiliated with a street gang based in the Logan Heights area.
[34:13] This was a neighborhood that had been a center of gang activity
[34:16] in San Diego for decades. That alone, however, was not
[34:20] enough. There were no eyewitnesses able
[34:23] to put a name to a face inside the van.
[34:26] The vehicle itself being stolen offered no helpful registration
[34:30] trail and the casings, while telling investigators the type
[34:35] of weapons used couldn't on their own identify the people
[34:39] pulling the triggers. Detectives work the neighborhood
[34:44] reportedly knocked on every door they could think to knock on and
[34:47] pressed informants for any whisper of who'd been bragging
[34:50] about the crime. However, the trouble with gang
[34:55] related cases of this era is well documented and witnesses
[34:59] were often terrified to speak. Cooperating informants risk
[35:04] their lives and sometimes their families lives by giving up
[35:08] names, and in a community where the police were often viewed
[35:12] with suspicion, the natural reservoir of public help that
[35:16] solves most cases simply wasn't there.
[35:21] What makes Mimi's case especially frustrating is that
[35:24] it didn't happen in isolation. In the same general time frame,
[35:29] San Diego and the neighboring city of National City were
[35:33] rocked by a string of shootings. Investigators believe these
[35:37] attacks were carried out with comparable weapons, possibly by
[35:41] the very same crew that had attacked Mimi.
[35:44] Nine people were wounded in a separate incident in National
[35:47] City, and a 16 year old was cut down on Delta St. in San Diego.
[35:53] The pattern suggested a small group of shooters working
[35:55] through a list of perceived enemies or simply using a
[35:59] stretch of nights to assert their territory in the most
[36:01] violent way they knew how. If those shootings were
[36:05] connected, and many investigators have long
[36:08] suspected they were, then solving any one of them might
[36:11] have unlocked the others. Unfortunately, though, none of
[36:15] them have ever been closed, and at this point, it's likely they
[36:18] won't be either. On a hot May Day in 1990, a
[36:25] luxury car was found engulfed in flames in the Arizona desert and
[36:29] its owner, a bank fraud investigator named Lee Young,
[36:33] had vanished without a trace. The burning plum colored Lincoln
[36:38] Town Car, discovered 100 miles South of Phoenix, yielded few
[36:42] clues. What it left behind was an
[36:46] enduring mystery that sounds like a movie, complete with
[36:49] missing jewels, cryptic phone calls, and whispers of a
[36:53] Colombian cartel. More than three decades later,
[36:57] the disappearance of Leroy Young remains unsolved.
[37:04] Lee Young was a 56 year old bank executive and fraud investigator
[37:08] living in Scottsdale, AZ. By all accounts, he was a
[37:12] devoted family man, married to his wife Connie, and a respected
[37:17] professional. In addition to his banking
[37:20] career, Lee had a side passion as a jeweler.
[37:24] He often bought and sold jewelry in his spare time and was known
[37:28] to carry plenty of cash for those deals.
[37:31] He even wore a distinctive copper faced Rolex watch
[37:34] encrusted with diamonds, a personal trademark that would
[37:38] later become a key detail in his case.
[37:43] As a fraud investigator, Lee's job was to delve into financial
[37:47] irregularities. In early 1990, he was working on
[37:50] a sensitive case. He suspected that his Scottsdale
[37:54] bank was being used by criminals to launder money, potentially
[37:57] involving a Colombian cartel. Lee had reached out to federal
[38:01] authorities about these suspicions, determined to
[38:04] uncover the truth behind the illicit funds flowing through
[38:08] the bank. On May 4th, 1990, Lee Young went
[38:14] about his day as usual until lunchtime when he met with a
[38:18] colleague at Coco's Restaurant on N Scottsdale Rd.
[38:22] He was last seen leaving the restaurant around 12:30 PM,
[38:25] presumably heading back to work or to run errands.
[38:29] However, Lee never returned home that evening.
[38:33] At some point that afternoon, something mysterious happened
[38:37] and Lee was never seen again that day.
[38:43] After three PMA series of phone calls were made from Lee's car
[38:47] phone under puzzling circumstances, records show that
[38:51] one incoming call was received and three outgoing calls were
[38:55] dialed from the car phone Later that afternoon.
[38:58] One of the numbers called was a pay phone, and two others were
[39:02] to a woman who, when contacted, insisted she had never spoken
[39:07] with Lee that day. This raised the alarming
[39:10] possibility that these calls were made by someone other than
[39:13] Lee. Detectives noted that it's
[39:17] entirely possible Lee was already in danger by early
[39:20] afternoon and that any calls made after about 2:00 PM might
[39:25] have been placed by the perpetrator.
[39:27] In other words, the very person responsible for Lee's
[39:30] disappearance could have been using his car phone, possibly to
[39:34] misdirect investigators. Friends and family grew
[39:38] concerned when Lee didn't come home on May 4th, and by the next
[39:42] morning, their worst fears were realized.
[39:45] On May 5th, 1990, the day after Lee disappeared, a deputy
[39:50] sheriff in Pinal County came upon a shocking sight in the
[39:53] remote desert near Oracle, AZ. It was a Lincoln Town Car
[39:57] blazing on the side of a dirt Rd.
[40:00] By the time authorities extinguished the flames, the car
[40:03] was burned to its frame. It was soon identified as Lee
[40:07] Young's car, though there was no sign of Lee himself at the
[40:11] scene. Due to the extensive fire
[40:14] damage, any potential forensic evidence was completely
[40:17] destroyed. The location of the burning car,
[40:21] about 100 miles South of Phoenix in a sparsely travelled area,
[40:25] deepened the mystery. When investigators combed
[40:30] through the wreckage of Lee's 1989 Town car, they made a
[40:34] perplexing discovery. In the trunk of the car,
[40:38] remarkably intact despite the fire, they found a cache of
[40:42] jewelry valued at several $1000. This was inventory that Lee
[40:46] likely carried for his side business in jewelry trading.
[40:50] Notably, however, a couple of critical items were missing.
[40:54] Lee's cherished Rolex watch, the one he always wore, was gone,
[41:00] and so was his briefcase full of work documents.
[41:03] This briefcase was believed to contain files and notes from his
[41:07] bank fraud investigations. The car's passenger compartment
[41:11] was too badly burned to yield much else, but the absence of
[41:14] the briefcase and watch spoke volumes.
[41:17] These missing items would soon steer the investigation toward
[41:21] possible motives. The cops initially wanted to
[41:25] write the whole thing off as a robbery gone wrong, but Lee's
[41:29] family pushed back hard against this narrative.
[41:33] Connie Young, Lee's wife, was adamant that a random robbery
[41:36] didn't seem to fit the facts. She pointed out that aside from
[41:40] Lee's personal Rolex, none of the other jewelry or valuables
[41:44] were taken from the car's trunk. The one thing taken from the
[41:48] trunk wasn't cash or gems, but Lee's briefcase of investigative
[41:52] files, an item of importance to Lee's work rather than his
[41:57] personal wealth. This clue was a glaring one.
[42:01] It suggested that whoever was responsible might have been far
[42:05] more interested in what Lee was working on than in what he was
[42:08] carrying. Investigators treated Lee
[42:13] Young's case as a likely foul play situation from the start.
[42:17] There was no evidence that Lee left on his own accord.
[42:20] His bank accounts were untouched, and he had no known
[42:23] reason to disappear voluntarily. The condition and location of
[42:28] the car strongly hinted at criminal involvement, and
[42:31] Scottsdale police officially classified Lee's case as a
[42:34] suspected slaying. With the physical evidence
[42:38] scarce, detectives had to rely on circumstantial clues and
[42:42] Lee's background to hypothesize what happened. 2 Primary
[42:46] theories emerged and would come to dominate discussions of the
[42:49] case. One initial theory was that Lee
[42:54] Young fell victim to a robbery that spiraled out of control.
[42:58] It wasn't hard to see why this idea surfaced.
[43:01] Lee's lifestyle could make him a target for thieves.
[43:05] He was a well dressed businessman, often seen wearing
[43:08] an expensive Rolex, and it was well known that he carried large
[43:11] amounts of cash to facilitate on the spot jewelry purchases.
[43:16] To an opportunistic criminal, Lee might have seemed like
[43:19] someone carrying a small fortune on any given day.
[43:23] The scenario imagined by this theory is that perhaps after Lee
[43:28] left the restaurant on May 4th, someone approached him and then
[43:32] robbed him. In this line of thinking, the
[43:35] criminal might have forced Lee to drive out to the desert,
[43:39] taken his valuables and disposed of his body somewhere in the
[43:42] vast Sonoran Desert. However, as investigators dug
[43:49] deeper, the robbery theory started to falter.
[43:52] The crime scene didn't fit the pattern of a typical robbery.
[43:56] The presence of all that jewellery left untouched
[43:59] strongly suggested that theft wasn't the primary motive.
[44:03] It's possible the perpetrator overlooked the jewellery or
[44:06] couldn't find it in the dark trunk, but that seems unlikely
[44:10] given how much wealth was left behind in the open.
[44:13] Additionally, while Lee's fancy Rolex was missing, consistent
[44:18] with a robbery motive, it could also have been removed for other
[44:22] reasons. For instance, it could have been
[44:25] removed to make it look like a robbery or a hit man could have
[44:29] gotten greedy. The second, far more sinister
[44:34] theory is that Lee Young was targeted because of his
[44:37] investigation into a money laundering operation.
[44:41] In the months leading up to his disappearance, Lee had been
[44:44] zeroing in on irregular transactions at the bank where
[44:47] he worked. He suspected that large amounts
[44:50] of illicit money were being funneled through accounts there
[44:54] cleaned to appear legitimate, a classic money laundering scheme.
[44:59] Lee's inquiries had pointed toward a Colombian cartel as the
[45:02] source of these funds. He was sufficiently concerned
[45:06] that he alerted federal law enforcement agents who
[45:08] specialized in smuggling and money laundering.
[45:11] He was essentially blowing the whistle on what he believed was
[45:14] a dangerous conspiracy. Federal agents did take his
[45:19] information and were looking into the case.
[45:22] In fact, Lee remained in contact with those agents about a week
[45:27] before he vanished. He tried to reach out to them
[45:29] again, but was unable to get in touch.
[45:33] This suggests that something he discovered might have alarmed
[45:36] him enough to urgently seek help.
[45:39] Or perhaps he sensed he was in danger.
[45:44] Those who support the cartel theory believe that Lee's
[45:46] investigation hit a nerve with very dangerous people.
[45:50] If a cartel was indeed laundering millions through an
[45:53] Arizona bank, an internal investigator like Lee Young
[45:56] would pose a serious threat to their operation.
[46:00] Eliminating him and destroying his evidence could have been
[46:02] seen as the only way to protect their lucrative enterprise.
[46:06] Under this theory, what happened on May 4th, 1990 wasn't a random
[46:12] crime at all, but a planned hit. Lee could have been lured into a
[46:16] meeting under false pretenses, perhaps someone pretending to be
[46:20] a source or client, and then abducted him to silence him.
[46:25] The fact that Lee's briefcase of files disappeared aligns with
[46:29] this scenario. The perpetrators might have
[46:32] seized his documents to find out how much he knew or to erase the
[46:36] proof of their activities. In a pre digital world, one
[46:42] angle amateur sleuths have speculated on is whether Lee's
[46:46] greatest danger didn't come from outside the bank, but from
[46:49] within. And personally, I prefer this
[46:53] theory, even though I have to admit it's based entirely on
[46:57] circumstantial evidence. As an internal fraud
[47:01] investigator, Lee was probing sensitive transactions and
[47:05] asking questions about accounts that may have been used to
[47:08] funnel cartel money. If he was closing in on proof,
[47:13] it's plausible that someone inside the institution, perhaps
[47:17] a colleague with divided loyalties, saw him as a threat.
[47:22] Banks were not and are not immune to infiltration by bad
[47:25] actors, and organized crime groups often seek insiders who
[47:29] can work with them on their schemes.
[47:33] If such a person existed at Lee's bank, their priority would
[47:36] have been to keep the money flowing and the operation
[47:39] undiscovered. Lee's persistence could have
[47:41] forced their hand. The missing briefcase becomes
[47:44] even more suspicious in this context, since an insider would
[47:48] know exactly what kind of information he carried and why
[47:52] it was dangerous. Rather than a faceless cartel
[47:56] operative striking at random, Lee may have been undone by
[47:59] someone he worked alongside every day.
[48:03] Under this theory, an insider who provided access arranged the
[48:07] ambush, and ensured his files never reached federal
[48:11] investigators. Further yet, this insider would
[48:16] have been able to use the documents which Lee carried to
[48:19] cross reference with documentation in the bank as
[48:21] well. Of course, the most sinister
[48:26] theory of all is that the feds were compromised and tipped the
[48:29] cartel off to Lee Young's investigation.
[48:32] I see this as a less likely possibility, given that federal
[48:35] agencies are much more difficult to infiltrate than a fairly
[48:38] small bank in Arizona. That said, it's not something
[48:42] that can be dismissed entirely. In the 35 years since Lee Young
[48:48] vanished, his family and friends have had to live without
[48:51] answers. Lee Young's disappearance has
[48:55] continued to remain a chilling Arizona unsolved mystery.
[49:03] It was a warm February afternoon in 1988 in Honolulu and 12 year
[49:08] old Ji Zhao Lee was doing something every kid her age
[49:11] might do. She was going door to door
[49:13] selling fundraiser tickets in her neighborhood.
[49:16] The streets around Nawanu Ave. felt safe in those days, a time
[49:20] when many in Hawaii believed their idyllic community was
[49:24] immune to horrors like child abduction.
[49:27] Yet by nightfall, that ordinary after school activity had turned
[49:32] into every parent's nightmare. Ji never came home that evening,
[49:36] and the mystery of what happened to her has haunted the islands
[49:40] ever since. Ji Zhao Li was a bright, hard
[49:46] working girl who had moved to Hawaii with her family just a
[49:49] couple of years before her disappearance.
[49:52] Born in China in the mid 1970s, she was the middle of three
[49:56] daughters. Her parents had kept her and her
[49:59] younger sister hidden in China due to the one child policy
[50:03] until they could move the family to Honolulu for a better life
[50:07] and a taste of freedom. Once in Hawaii, she adjusted
[50:11] well at Royal Elementary School. By early 1988, she was eagerly
[50:15] helping with a school fundraiser to raise money for a class trip
[50:18] to the Big Island. On February 11th, 1988, G set
[50:25] out after school with a stack of raffle tickets to sell for the
[50:28] fundraiser. She left her family's apartment
[50:31] with her ticket book in hand and promised to be home by 6:00 as
[50:35] her mother had instructed. Her mother even gave her a
[50:39] wristwatch to keep track of time and she vowed not to be late.
[50:43] With that, the 12 year old headed out to make as many sales
[50:47] as she could for her class. Bystanders later recalled seeing
[50:53] Ji Zhao outside a 711 store on Nuanu Ave. and Kwakini St.
[50:58] around 4:45, politely asking people if they would buy a
[51:02] ticket. At some point, witnesses
[51:05] reported that a girl matching Ji's description may have gotten
[51:08] into a light colored 1950s Chevrolet sedan.
[51:12] This distinctive detail stood out, and police treated it as a
[51:16] critical clue. A classic car like that was
[51:19] uncommon, and it was the only lead they had into who might
[51:22] have encountered the 12 year old that day.
[51:27] By 6:00, when G still hadn't come home, her mother grew
[51:30] alarmed. The Lee family began frantically
[51:33] searching the area, calling out her name and knocking on
[51:36] neighbors doors, but found no sign of her.
[51:40] Finally, early the next morning, they filed a missing person
[51:44] report with the Honolulu Police. Police launched an intensive
[51:49] search and the community rallied to help.
[51:53] About 2000 volunteers joined officers in combing the
[51:56] surrounding neighborhoods for any trace of the missing girl.
[52:01] Teams scoured streets, yards and even streams, while helicopters
[52:05] flew overhead and divers checked nearby waters.
[52:09] In all, 10s of thousands of man hours were devoted to the search
[52:14] over the following weeks. Despite this massive effort, no
[52:18] physical evidence of the missing girl would ever be recovered.
[52:24] Investigators focused on the tip about the 1950s Chevy and
[52:28] painstakingly tracked down every similar car on Oahu.
[52:32] They interviewed each owner, hoping for a break in the case,
[52:35] but unfortunately, that lead went nowhere.
[52:39] A composite sketch of an unknown man seen near the 711 was
[52:43] released to the public, but he was never identified.
[52:47] With no witnesses and no evidence beyond the initial
[52:50] sighting, the investigation hit a heartbreaking dead end.
[52:56] As months passed with no answers, the case went cold.
[53:00] Authorities came to believe that G had most likely been abducted
[53:03] by a stranger and met with foul play.
[53:06] For the Lee family, life would never be the same, and her
[53:10] father spent years walking the streets asking anyone who would
[53:14] listen if they saw anything that day.
[53:18] Her mother kept their phone number unchanged and would sit
[53:20] by the phone each night, holding on to hope that one day G might
[53:25] call. Over the years, police fielded
[53:30] many tips and possible sightings, but none ever led to
[53:34] any breakthroughs. The leading theory is that a
[53:37] predator seized the opportunity to kidnap her in broad daylight
[53:42] with no evidence or suspects identified.
[53:44] Investigators suspect she was likely slain soon after being
[53:48] taken. Another equally disturbing
[53:53] possibility is that she was abducted as part of a
[53:56] trafficking operation and then eliminated as she grew older.
[54:00] However, no evidence exists to support this theory, and it
[54:04] remains pure speculation. Despite the passage of time, her
[54:09] family continues to hold out hope that she remains alive.
