Hey everybody, welcome to Crimly Obsessed.

in the way we search for missing persons when every single second counts. We're seeing the search

for Nancy got three unfold. And we know there are so many missing persons cases in the United

States. In fact, as many as 600,000 are reported annually according to the National Missing and unidentified person system or name us. So what do we do? According to David Robinson, laws need to change now, right now. He's a father of Daniel Robinson, a 23-year-old geologist who went missing in the desert of Buckeye, Arizona, back in 2021. Let's get into it. David, it is so good to have you on this show. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much

to have me. David, you're search for for your son has led you to really helping other families and pushing for big changes. And do you believe this will bring more missing persons home the work you're doing right now? Yes, you know, every area, anything that we can't do collectively when

I say collectively, everyone has a part, please a part. And finding out missing loved ones and what I'm

trying to do here is another part of that to increase the opportunities for families and the awareness of what's happening in our country. Yeah. And David, tell me, let's start with today what you're working on right now. Tell us about the help find missing Americans act or the Daniel Robinson model, right? Yeah, this legislation was I wrote this legislation when I was in the Arizona search for Daniel, speaking with a lot of families who have missing loved ones, the pain that they're

gone through, what we're gone through as a family, you know, trying to find solutions to one of the problems that we still that's still remaining in my son's cases, getting a cell phone pain

data and also we already know that things like that is crucial when it's done really quickly.

Some of the hindrance of when it comes to law enforcement and the wellest families are getting that data is the issue if it's not a criminal case for instance law enforcement's hands are tied a lot of times for just to give a warrant. And also we have telecommunication companies that have their privacy policies to other policies and retention times that allows not to use technology that's available here in 206 between time of searching for Daniel,

try to learn how to write legislation and how to write a bill and I was able to accomplish that

a write a bill for a US for our federal government and so that's what the birth of Daniel Robinson law.

That's that's amazing. I mean, this work is so important and could make an impact for so many people

what has been the so far, what has been the the feedback that you're getting? Well, I get a lot of feedback from families and more so the anyone. I have a family that I work with now, they daughter with missing in California and you know that Daniel Robinson law would have been very important in this case as well. There's this on news channels, crying out for that very exact thing. You know, hey law enforcement tell us that we have to have a warrant just to go get those

that data and they're that crying out, let's look, we need something different. We need something to change with that shouldn't be a hindrance. Families who would come out to me and express their need for this bill. Well, and this is such a personal journey for you, isn't it? I mean, can you take us back to 2021 and and tell us about your son Daniel's case? Yes, um, here's the

most devastating day. Of course, right here in my home, we never see that phone call in my

spot that day, you know, everyone know what I like to see it outside. It changed our life as a family, it changed our life, my daughter called and and someone was looking to see if there's that other apartment and you know, he would see this home, those type things. And, you know, just the the pain of not knowing what's going on at that day and at the same time, not getting answers. I really needed from law enforcement. I was when I called, it was really rough. It was really

rough, just even trying to navigate that, navigate that, what to do first, what how to do it and things like that. So I could say, yes, back in 2021, when the first half of my day first went missing, I was the biggest in the most devastating day of my life. How did you find out that your son was missing? Yes, I have received a phone call from my daughter. She was very disturbed about someone come to a apartment. Look at Daniel. He's breasted that he was one of Daniel's co-worker. He's been

with Daniel before to a place she probably didn't remember. And he told her that Daniel was last seen

That as a work site, you know, he just took off and no one saw him again.

she was devastated by that and she called me and caused me the father. The first thing I had to

do was try to get her calm. You know, you know, we all know that we have to deal with just

first of me and go, you know, check, see if he's home, check, make sure he's okay. Call all this friends, his mother and I divorce, but I was able to call her and her husband to see if her from them. We did those first and of course, no one heard from Daniel. That was the first indication that something was wrong. We got to that point. I've seen his daughter, his sister over my daughter over to his apartment and the seat feels there. And when she got there, she said,

hey, his vehicle is gone. She saw a little light on and inside, you know, she could look through the blinds of his patio and see a light on the liver on, but his door is locked for instance and she's knocking it. She was trying to see if he was in there, but no answer. So those indications was really, really hard for us, especially with friends and family and no one had heard from Daniel that day. But then when I look at the time, there was a three hour time difference from Arizona to

South Carolina and it was over six hours and I know Daniel, you know, I'm a single parent,

I'll single parent raising Daniel, his brother, his sisters. And I know, I know when the way he thinks and, you know, how he does in the day. For instance, he talked to his siblings almost every day. He talked to me at least two or three times a week. We talked for over two hours.

Daniel always tells us where he's going. He always tells us, his plans, if you have in the

trouble plans, things like that. So without all of that, we knew something was wrong and that was the first indication to at least start off with a welfare check and then also, you know, ended up, you know, putting in a missing person report. And David, you're thousands of miles away. I mean, it, it strikes here and me, like as a parent, you know, I just, I just had my 20-year-old over in California for a week, you know, and you're, you're constantly wanting to know that they're

okay. That's right. That's right. You know, you know, in the 2000 miles away, we don't have to go search for Daniel. I heard that language a law enforcement and I started driving. My mind just went away and I just did what's natural to me, being a former truck driver. I just threw everything in my vehicle and just started driving and that's when that 2000 miles became so real. I wasn't getting there thanks to enough. And, you know, just been a far away, you know,

you'd be proud for, you know, before they were missing, of course, as a parent, I proud that my children had decided to spread their wings with a lot of telemanels younger and see what the world is all about, see what the country is all about. You know, be able to be independent, but like you say, and as a parent, it's really hard to be away from your children, that, that, that distance, you know, apart, especially when the situation like what happened with Daniel. And when you were

driving across 2000 miles, you're trying to get to Arizona. I'm sure you're having plenty of conversations. Are you talking to the place about where they're investigating and what they're looking for? Yes. Yes. Yes. The one of the things is trying to get information myself, but trying to provide all the information that we can to law enforcement. And you can imagine, yes, driving and speaking to law enforcement, talking to Daniel's job, his coworker, his supervisor,

trying to even get content with the owner of the company, just getting details. You know, there's, there's safety mechanisms, the things they do, what they are doing, those type things, what could be done. And so, yes, trying to handle all of that and drive it the same time. It made that journey rougher to even navigate. And what were the road blocks that you were facing? Like besides the time difference, and then you're in the car, and then

you're just trying to get there, like what were the road blocks that you were not getting information?

Are you, you felt like you were getting stymied? Once the initial thing that calls me to jump

in my car in the first place, you know, coming from South Carolina, I smell about that,

because I was a kid. I know that how things were before, they were cell phones, like a T.H. O'Lean, that we had to deal with law enforcement as a child. You know, just hearing that language that was given to me about Daniel, I didn't see an urgency, they said, hey, we put him in the city, I see that a base, and it's planning me that, hey, look, if you get pulled over, it's a law enforcement, it can see his tag and an automatic coming there, that someone's looking

phone basically, you know, and it wasn't the urgency to say, hey, he's an endangered person, even under the circumstances. We need to send that helicopter out there, because I did ask for that night with Daniel with missing, and they did not, that said they were doing the morning, but then after that, it did not, again, said higher upset. He's a grown man, you can disappear if want to, that language is what calls me to get in the car. Also, as I was driving, trying to

still push for law enforcement to get a bird in the air to go safe form, it wasn't happening.

To get some things done, maybe, you know, to the new cycles, the local news, ...

weren't been done, trying to get information that I can from his coworkers and his job. I've got some of that, and also some of the blessings from his job that came to give me some of the ideas about

where he went missing, right, it wasn't else to snoring does it, so that's when I first heard,

but yeah, it was really hard. It was really hard trying to get anything from law enforcement at that point. >> Because your son was a geologist. I mean, he was where he was supposed to be. He was at the job site, you know, he's in the desert, he's working on what he needs to be working on, and nobody knows, like a parent does, when that radar goes off, it's urgent immediately. You know, that people aren't where they're supposed to be, and we got to move. >> Yeah, and it is. One thing

is, just hearing what his coworkers, when his boss told me, Ken Elliott is the guy that Daniel was going out there to meet. He's telling me the story at the time when I was driving what was told to him, and you know, just hearing something that language, like you said, as a parent,

know your child, those things didn't match with his personality, who is the first. So those things

stood out to me on that journey to Arizona. So the only thing I can think of in my head at the time,

I needed to go speak with Ken, and we had to look at it. I father the father, if he's a father, he had to tell me exactly the same thing what law enforcement said that he told them is because, you know, I just couldn't, I couldn't get that, that language did Salat Daniel to me. >> So the language that you heard that he was expressing to his coworkers was not things that you expected to hear from Daniel. You knew something was off. >> Right. >> In a various way,

or in a, or in a just, in a mental health way, do you mind telling me how, what was off about that? >> Well, there's a little bit of both, a little bit of thing. The couple things that stood out to me was the fact that, you know, Ken said that he said he was so tired, I guess, and he wanted to go back to Phoenix to risk. I could tell you at that time, he didn't dawn on me that when he said, Phoenix, my son didn't believe, live in, it's at that time, live in T.P. But that didn't dawn on me,

the part of that dawn on me was that he said he wanted to go back to risk. And, you know, one of the things about my son, he's, he's responsible for that, that well site, you know,

been, he's the chief person, he didn't work for a web of water words, and that's the second

day of company that come in. And so, then he could just shut down the site, basically, for that day. If he was that tired, he definitely wouldn't have gone to the first well site, nevertheless, going to a second well site, if he's that tired, you know what it is about being safe, your tired, you know, you're not, you're working with equipment, you're not going to go out there, sleepy. So, that stood out to me. So, I wanted to hear Ken tell me that,

another party is, you know, he said he was saying things that didn't make sense, and to the fact that he was looking and then you're eyes, he said he was looking as I guess, the CV's eyes sort of dilated or something to the face. And I know Dan, he's not going to let another man to look there looking and his eyes and stuff like that. So, that was unbelievable to me, you know, certain things that I was saying. So, of course, that just drove me to say, "Hey,

you know, me and Ken have to help a talk." And, and that's what I did when I first got there,

Zona, the first thing I want to do is make sure I've talked a lot of force, but also to talk to Ken. Okay. Now, you've done searches for years now looking for Daniel, and I know that with the Nancy Guthrie case that's going on right now, I'm sure you're following it. I mean, it's just extraordinary that's in Arizona as well. What is searching like in that landscape? What are the specific challenges you're going to have in a landscape like the Arizona desert terrain?

Well, I'll tell you what, you have to do your homework first. I did a lot of that learning about that desert out there. It's very challenging. You have to wash it in the ravines. You know, you also have minds. That's vertical minds and also horizontal minds. Wow. A desert. You know, we all know the desert so you have wildlife. So, it's a lot of things

and challenges that you have to face, but the biggest part was the, you know, the, the, the, the,

how wide and how broad the desert is. It's very intimidating. So a person can be standing one, one spot, and then go north east of west and then away between and start hitting a straight line. And your search efforts have to be each of those just because you don't know which direction that person had. So it causes you to have to to search a, the span of area just to make sure your loved one is not out there. Like I said, you have a lot of strawberries and things

that can be, you know, can hide a person. And it isn't so much. So yes, it's, it's very hard.

Then you have to deal with the elements of the heat in the days.

really early in the morning. So, you know, those type things are searching in deserts really tough. How many searches of you have you done now for Daniel? Yes. As of April the 12th of last year, it's been 50 weeks of desert searchings. I realized it in time when I really quick, but it's 50 weeks of desert searching out there. 35,000 acres of land covered out there in that desert. I'm believeably tragically, you haven't been able to locate your son.

But you have located other missing persons. Is that correct? What was it, what was it like to

share that information with those families? I remember the first human remains we found, you know,

of course, at any time that happened. And especially at first time, as well, it was really hard.

During the time I had my children who would come out to the search of sometimes. And but to find other human remains out there, it was, it's a bit of sweet. I thought, you might have come in your mind because you know, you have somebody, someone the family at the same time, you know that family, they're loved one found in that manner. So it's one of those things that was really tough. You know, then also of course, I'm still looking for Daniel. And I'm hoping

that we don't find Daniel in that kind of position as well. But yes, just bring those closest for families. I know one family specifically out of Florida who's very grateful to finally locate

their her brother. You probably remember the human skull that was found. And so they was very grateful

for those remains to get them some type of closure. It feels great to be able to give some, someone some type of healing. It's not the healing that they want, but they get some type of healing. Yeah, 100%. I mean, it is, I've been out there in the South Carolina area talking to people, searchers, trackers, organizations. And that is often the case isn't that that you do come upon remains that are not the one that you're looking for. That's weird. Which is tough. So many people

have been moved by the work that you're doing for Daniel. And hearing his story and how the person of the earth is alone has been an extraordinary. Can you tell me what the latest is with your son's case and where it stands five years later? Well, one thing for sure, despite what law force me or anybody who want to classify Daniel's case, it's not a cold case. It's not a cold case by any stretch. You know, isn't this handling of Daniel's case is the issue that I have been

having from day one. You know, I was able to have a custody transfer of things with law enforcement

on April the 10th of 2025. Really? Yeah. So that's what we're at right now. I was able to get

that custody of change and with promises of doing the things that should have done. They're done initially what I like to call the crime scene with the vehicle showed up and also some of the things that I was found in Daniel's apartment. So those things we did the custody of change. I'm using by the camp footage. You name it everything. But I can't report that law force is still having move. And one of the things that bothers me with that is the promise that the buck-eye police

department have given myself and my family to conduct those, for instance, on their beds and all the other things that I was able to give to them, to have tested. They haven't moved on just yet. And so what we're doing right now is it's constantly still putting pressure on law force with the do-so. I have a four-year quest to find out exactly what have been done and what haven't been done. So they have a little bit lead way right now to have that completed. But right now as a stand,

I'm still pushing. What I'm planning to do in the meantime, I'm running for office right now. So that's keeping me from a lot of movement. But to get back into Arizona where I can put a little more pressure because I noticed that in the time of you there in law force was faced and given that kind of pressure, they actually start doing things and moving. Yeah, they see you there and they know that they're going to have to answer some questions, right?

I mean, did they ever give you their scenario of what they think happened to your son?

Did they ever give you anything to work off of? Yeah, and that's what calls me to,

even a vehicle showed up, they gave me a lot of their theories. And that's what calls me to get a private investigator. The initial thing that they took a bit and told me after you tell me the car rolled and flipped and he believed Dan had a severe head injury. That's made him straight as close off is that he felt that Daniel, because he's straight as close up, you know, he had to make your eyes what he's sanding. He walked also where and he had on a

bush to cool off and then a while down on my eight on my softened to that fence. The second thing

he was saying to me that he maybe Daniel joined the monster to become a monk to be away from his family.

Those, those ideas of a law enforcement as well as the fact that there, there...

doing a time that the vehicle was there for 30 days despite of what the rancher said,

who found the vehicle say it wasn't there today prior. They wanted to base things on the

30 day thing for that reason that the vehicle's there since June 23, 2021. Just to remind you of the timeline here, Daniel went missing on June 23, 2021 and was last seen in his Jeep Renegade heading toward the desert. We know Daniel's Jeep was found crashed, rolled over and a ravine on July 19, 2021. A rancher found the Jeep on his own property with the airbags deployed along with Daniel's cell phone wallet keys and clothes. The issue and the disparity here

is that law enforcement says the vehicle was there for 30 days. But the rancher says he went

searching for cattle on July 17, 2021 and the vehicle was not there. This rancher always maintained

that that Jeep was not in the ravine until he returned on July 19. And the evidence and the information that matched what they were saying. So those things caused me to get a private investigator

and could still continue to do my own independent investigation of our own. So that's pretty much

with law enforcement stance on that point. Okay, well that's hard to hear. Oh yeah, it's very hard. That's not helpful. No, not helpful at all. So, you know, it's not helpful at all. When, you know, you have a law enforcement agency in my opinion, doing the opposite of what you think they could be doing. My investigator, for instance, found a lot of information. We found the photosist and dishes cycles, found 11 additional miles on the vehicle. We found the red transport paint.

He found the two impressions on windshields on one of the windshields. He found what happened near the first initial crash happening near one of the club that that evening. So it's a couple of things like that was actually found hard evidence. The damage that matched terrain for instance. And instead of law enforcement embracing those things and working with those and and finding out the credibility of it for one thing. The second thing is to find out some answers

they hired the own private investigator of their own, which I thought was weird because they haven't detected. But they've hired a private investigator to rebut in a thing that my investigator found is what the way I take it. Because in the only ways I could take it that way is

because their private investigator have not even been examined of vehicle. They had he never physically

touched it or I like to say tastes of those smell it. He haven't even been there, but used their party pictures to make a full report about something you have never seen in his life. So, so those type things was very problematic for my case that I'm continue to have right now. My investigation I like to say into my son case and as well as my private investigator at the time, his investigation was a hindrance to getting the answers that we're looking for. Yeah. I mean, that would make me angry.

That would absolutely make me angry. I mean, you've worked with other families, I understand in this space as well. Like the potatoes. Can you tell me what some of these struggles and frustrations are like that maybe the public doesn't know about? Well, you know,

it's always been about the urgency. I think with every family I talk to is a shared

comment thing about this urgency. When we see something that's very urgent, then we feel that lawful to kind of drag the feet or they're fine reasons for non-actions or a lot of assumptions for instance and things like that. So you hear the same kind of things that happen across the board or a lot of times it's law enforcement not being able to handle a case load like this and love one case. So it's combination of those things that's very we're here a lot from families.

Yeah, you can't move fast enough, right? You can't move fast enough when you're looking for a

missing person. And that's what I always think about is that no one can ever touch your sense of urgency

of what's going on. That's right. That's right. I mean, we we saw it with Gattie Betita. We are seeing it still with Nancy Guthrie. Unbelievable amount of coverage, unbelievable about a media attention for certain cases, for some cases, not for all cases. We don't see that for all, what are the challenges for families to get in front of the media? Like how hard is it for families like yourself to get in front of the media? It's really hard. I remember when a

day went missing, it took two weeks for him to see get local challenges that he can take to take take his story. I spoke to law enforcement about police department say it's your responsibility to do that. So I found the way to reach out to the news organizations, the radio stations and no one did want, no one wanted to take the story, but I can't tell you that it's two reports, just centers

Nicole Griggs is their names.

pretty much, and they reached out to me and say, hey, you know what, we would like to hear about

your son's story and that give a break for Dan's case, give a break for his story because it's

very important to get that story out really quickly. And that's the same thing down here a lot of

families, you know, of course with families, no one prepares for what to do when you just have a missing loved one. So you don't know who to call and how to call people who to talk to those type things. So that slows it down as well trying to get your loved one story out there. Some people don't know to turn into social media. And for instance, like I was able to do is open up a page to humanize your loved one. I know what, uh, a person's of color like myself, it was important for us to

humanize Daniel to show who he is. He's a brilliant scientist for his, he have a family,

he have siblings. So open up those pages and things are very important, but like I said, talking to families is one of the things that urges, I can't give you a little bit more, Mr. Petito, Joseph Petito, uh, friend of mine, very good friend of mine. Uh, here now I was having a conversation

and another young lady who I, uh, Mr. Sister, uh, was on a zoom together, uh, discuss some things.

And we talked about our loved one's cases, for instance, and the difference in, she and I was talking about the, the difficulties of getting law enforcement to move, the difficulties of getting, I love one story on local news and things like that. And then Mr. Petito said, all that to do is make a phone call, right? And so that's still rings in my head to this day, you know, all that to do is make a phone call and the story went national. That's, that's the

thing that we kind of look at as a family, a family that I talk to is, uh, you know, with C cases like the Gayatri case. So we'll see, uh, Petito case, we'll see some of these other cases where, uh, you know, those stores just hit hit go really fast. Uh, and we have loved one's who was crying out, um, hey, I am right here, uh, you know, my love one is missing. And so it's very difficult. It's very difficult. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that, as just as a member of the media that we can't,

we can't have more balance in the coverage. Uh, you know, I know I understand like, Savannah's a celebrity, Savannah Guthrie. I know, I know she's just given money $500,000 to Nick Mac, because she also recognizes that it's not just her missing mom. It's, you know, we have

hundreds of thousands of missing people. God, that breaks my heart. There is a disparity. And I think

that the community needs to face up to it. What can we do in, in the community, not just the media, but in the community to, to fight that. That's right. Uh, this call about this call out and speak about it. Um, you know, making that, um, encourages me, though, is, uh, people like yourself, um, we have a lot of, uh, piecasters and also have a lot of, uh, true crying community, uh, the help families who have missing loved ones. Because it wasn't for, uh, communities like that,

a lot of stores wouldn't be told. Of course, we ought to know media can't only do for so much, as well, because they are 600,000 Americans that go missing area, uh, 3000 days, over 2000 children a day. And, you know, to cover all those simultaneously will be kind of hard, but, you know, but like I said, the disparities and the way things are handled is the problem. Um, it's a big

problem. I can use a prime example. Um, you can speak another country case. I really first, like to say,

you know, I've reached out and tried to, um, give anything I can. There's a father who did not in the desert, who's been searching like you were sent earlier. What can I do to help help them find locate their mother, um, which we all want to see her come back home, we really need to. One of the things that bother me as a father though is that, um, Daniel still missing as well. Uh, and, you know, some of the scenarios that we saw in the country case, for instance, it's happening to Daniel

case. Uh, he had a ransom. I had a ransom. They, they, they wanted thousands of dollars from me for Daniel for a change of Daniel. I had to go through that, um, um, that was death threats on me, just because I was searching for my son, um, they had Daniel on the tie-up with broken leather what they told me. And, you know, they coming through my e-mails. And until this day, I still don't have the FBI to even want to take that part of the case and find out who these people are trying

to harm me or who possibly could have had Daniel. So I see that in the initial part of Daniel's case, where there's no movement with law enforcement. There's no movement with the FBI. I then to the field offers a thing that's the same one that's working, uh, the country case. And instead of getting an invitement, uh, or, or hospitality, uh, when I received that, they put me in the, they wouldn't let me in the bill and they put me in the, uh, the security room and, and with too long garments,

As I thought I was going to get shot that day, just coming in and asking ques...

help, um, the FBI. So, so those type things. So it's the disparities when it comes to, like you say, who it is, where they're from, uh, their name, their title, or what, and things like that matters, uh, when you get full participation, I even see the share of, uh, of that county, Pena County crying in this case. Um, Chief Hall of, uh, Maricopa County, uh, Buckup Police Department Stoneface, for instance, the, the, um, out there finding, um, remains for other families members,

other seven other families out there, and not more time. It has a city manager or the mayor, come to me and say, thank you Mr. Robinson for coming to our state and our city and help us locate missing loved ones that who's been missing, possibly for years. So it, it's those kind of things when I look at, to, to, to totality of things, uh, that is a, uh, really, really, really, it hurtful, especially when I'm still searching for Daniel, uh, but at the same time, I, I try to

help with such a big, or hard to, because it's a kind of type of family, or the help that's made in people who can't alone that hard journey, uh, to care with us. Yeah, I mean, I don't think anybody could ever overestimate like the relentlessness of, uh, parent, your relentlessness with this case has been extraordinary. I mean, to hear that you've spent 50 weeks searching in those deserts in Arizona is, is, is really remarkable. Um, and I hope that we can do more to help you.

You know, I think about your son, and I think that, you know, Daniel would be 29 now, 29, 28, 29. He wanted to, yes. He would be going to 29. Yes. Yes. That time we're going about fast, uh, yes. If you just had a birthday on a 14th of January, so, you know, every year, his birthday is come up and, uh, uh, you know, the, uh, Christmas and they have the Thanksgiving, uh, it's all around that time of the year is even a lot worse, uh, because, you know, they kind of

all ball up together, new year, um, and you know, families, we get together, the family I never

just changed. So, of course, you know, those are constant reminders that he's still missing.

For some, I can say, may feel that he's almost five years and you should be all weird. But now,

I talk to families all the time, they're just like, I'm glad the ones that was in the desert were me. They're talking about their missing level, who've been missing probably for 20, some, 50, 20 years, some 15 years, but they're talking about that person as if, if it happened yesterday. And, or it happened today. And that's the same feeling that you get because, um, you know, we don't have any answers, you know, you always in the limbo. We just don't have those answers,

you know, your loved ones alive or they're not, um, you always have hope and then sometimes you feel

to despair. So, you always, all over the place. We have missing love ones. So, there's one of

things that just don't go away. Do you get those answers? What do you think he would be saying to you right now? Well, what would he be saying to dad right now about what you've done? Well, I, I hope that he can know that I kept my promise, you know, you know, you know, I told him, not directly in those ways, but, you know, I'm going to be there as a father. I'm always going to be there for, um, all my children. I'm going to be there for them,

be the father that they, they should have. You know, I, I'm being the father that I didn't have,

um, you know, grown up. So, um, you know, he could see that part and really, um, I really believe

he appreciate that, that, you know, hey, my dad, they haven't got given up on me. He's still out there search for me. Um, and, you know, that, that can show my love to him. I, that's all I really need him to know that part. I'm not going to wear. You think you're going to find them?

I have to keep that face. I'm a, my manifest, um, you know, my, my mind is always there that,

hey, my son is alive. I'm going to find him. It's just a matter of time. Uh, today is the, they closer to me find a day. I'll say that to myself. And I really believe I am going to find that, you know, I'm not giving that, that I deal up. Well, I believe you will, too. And, uh, we'll certainly include for our viewers and our listeners out there, um, the story is alive and well with you, whatever we can do to spread the word, um, just one more person heard it today. It's just

one more person heard it. Um, there's one more big chance out there that, that something might click and, um, and we can go ahead and bring going to him. So, thank you so much for, for talking to us today. Your story is inspiring. And you are running for Congress in my home state of South Carolina. That's right. You ready to, ready to take it on? You're going to take us from in here. Yeah, I've ran in 2020, but it's rough. Yeah, it is. It's a hard thing going to replace it.

Yeah, it takes a lot of time. Please, no, I'm doing true crime and not politics. I've been doing

politics for years, too. Yeah, you got a, that's a whole different mystery, right?

Yeah, it is. I didn't know it was going to be that rough and, you know, and things that you

Unrespect to stuff, but yes, a lot different than what I'm doing first search...
