[Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] -year-old Beau man was very much looking
forward to marrying his partner Jason abate theirs was a long-term relationship about five or more years
but also a long distance relationship both Beau and Jason stayed quite busy with work Jason spending a lot of that
time in Michigan and Beau running his company out of Los Angeles California sadly the wedding
never took place that is because on November 30th 2021 Bowman vanished and he has been missing
ever since Beau was last seen at a 7-Eleven near his home in LA Bo is someone that is known to reach out
to others and to connect with them on a level that is real from Bo's blog he says
I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today's crazy world
your personality your sense of humor and most importantly your heart all of these elements brought me to
found Bow Man the entrepreneur back in 2000 since then the blog has been thriving
and has quickly gained a loyal following I invite you to explore my site learn about my passions
and explore what excites and interests you as well it appears that Beau toyed with the idea
of starting a YouTube channel but Bo man is by far best known for founding and operating a support network
for people recovering from drug addiction the network is called sober grid sober
grid combines peer support coaching an online community digital Therapeutics and a digital library of Mental Health
Resources to help individuals achieve long-term recovery they boast that the platform removes
barriers and tackles the gaps in the Continuum of Care and according to the reviews many of
those in recovery had much success with sober Grit found the support they needed
and Bo's absence the sober grid team continues to work diligently to protect beau's Legacy and
continue his and their mission as someone who suffered from addiction himself Beau was fulfilling a desire to
help people in similar situations according to our friends over at thecharleyproject.org
Bo is described as a Caucasian male with blonde hair and blue eyes he has a surgical scar on his abdomen extending
from his navel to his groin he smokes cigarettes he's five foot ten inches tall and about 220 pounds
when last seen he was wearing an extra large coat a black hooded sweatshirt a dark blue t-shirt
dark blue pants black sneakers a blue baseball cap a bandana over the lower part of his face
and an engagement ring with five diamonds he was carrying a plastic bag of ice and a black backpack with two laptop
computers an iPhone and an iPad inside anyone with information on The Disappearance of Bow Man

remain anonymous please call 1-800-222-t-i-p-s that's 1-800 -22 -8477 toll-free 24 hours a day
this is True Crime garage [Music] [Music] today is Tuesday February 21st 2023 and
it is Bo Michael Mann's 41st birthday but sadly instead of a celebration the search continues to find this missing
individual Bow Man was last seen on November 30th 2021. now you heard some of Bose
accomplishments in today's trailer leading into this case discussion Beau is the founder and CEO of a successful
application based company that he named sobergrid at the time of his disappearance Beau was engaged to his
partner Jason the timeline that encompasses Bo's disappearance is a strange one we will
start things off with the week of Thanksgiving 2021 for those listening abroad cheers to you first off but
Thanksgiving is always celebrated on a Thursday in late November for the holiday bow man flew to Texas this trip
was for the purpose of spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family on November 29th the Monday after
Thanksgiving Bo flew back to Los Angeles Upon returning from his trip he was picked up
by his assistant at LAX the Los Angeles International Airport now that same evening Beau went out for takeout food
and was visited by a friend at his home he spoke to his boyfriend on the phone before going to bed that night
during this call Beau mentions to his boyfriend Jason that he was having car trouble and his vehicle would not start
the following morning is Tuesday November 30th 2021 this is when Bo Michael Mann left his home on foot and
visited a coffee shop now one article here Captain states that it was air quotes normal for Bo now I'll admit it's
unclear to me and I think it's unclear to most if the normal is meant for the walking portion or the coffee portion or
possibly both yeah he lived in Brentwood which they have a lot of shops very close to the neighborhood where you
could walk to so again it's not clear but I would assume a lot of people in that neighborhood
walk and get coffee in the morning or my first assumption was that this was due to the car trouble but as you point out
there's many fine establishments to go to relatively closely to where Bo lives now this is going to bring us to
2 p.m that afternoon when Bowman is captured on surveillance video he is shopping at a 7-Eleven convenience store
this store is located at 11007 Ventura Boulevard and Studio City California now at some point in this video he is
seen repacking his large backpack that he brought with him to the store this apparently because some of the
contents of this backpack fell out so he's fixing his backpack situation he makes his purchases and he's going to go
on his way but a little more detail here Captain this according to one person that posted online saying that they
lived in Studio City for about 15 years they describe the area as safe family oriented wonderful neighborhood with
decently maintained and modestly sized houses at 2 pm he spotted on the surveillance
footage at 7-Eleven within minutes we have at 206 p.m Beau is leaving the store this with a fountain drink in one
hand and a bag of ice in the other along with several other items that he purchased on that visit at the store and
just to be clear Beau walked to get coffee but took an Uber to the 7-Eleven correct and from the reports that I see
it it's a little unclear if he then called for an additional Uber or told the driver or requested that the driver wait
for him and then return to the same vehicle yeah that's unclear because sometimes a driver will wait but
all the reports that I have found that the initial drive to the 7-Eleven that drive was complete so he could have been
picked up by the same driver but he completed that the initial drive so then they would have to start a new
transaction now Bo's boyfriend Jason who is very much one of the many who are leading the charge to help find Bo says
that the items that Beau purchased there that day were items that were for his home and the item of the most importance
or I think that is most significant here is the bag of ice now one would everyone would know that
you bet you you purchase ice and you are now on a timeline right that ice will melt at some point and we're talking
about California it looked to be a sunny day that day I don't have the temperature but a lot of the reports
state that he's leaving the 7-Eleven with a bag of ice that that is probably melting very quickly upon leaving the
store the other thing that's interesting here is according to Jason Beau was one
of these people that always had to have ice ice in his drinks always had to have
ice on hand and Jason reports that the ice maker at beau's home was currently not working just like his car I don't
know how long the ice maker situation was in need of repair but Jason is saying the purchases made that day
indicate to him that it would have been Bose in intention of returning home upon
leaving the 7-Eleven and he underlines that with the purchase of the ice saying the ice maker wasn't working and as we
just pointed out you are on a timeline as soon as you make that purchase and I have to agree here with Jason not
knowing Bo but it seems to make all the sense in the world to me that you purchase a bag of ice and unless you
have a cooler you're probably intending to go home afterwards and I'll post the pictures of Bo On surveillance but one
of the things that sticks out like a sore thumb is how big his book bag is I mean it looks like he hasn't unpacked
from his trip from visiting friends and family for Thanksgiving well I found the contents
of his backpack to be a little questionable and maybe a little concerning as well
according to the charlieproject.org not only is he carrying that plastic bag of ice when he
leaves the 7-Eleven but in his Black Backpack there are two laptop computers an iPhone and an iPad inside some people
have questioned well why is Bo seen wearing a bandana over the lower part of his face in some portions of the
surveillance video we must keep in mind this was 2021 and in many areas of this country you were required to have some
kind of face covering around this time due to covid-19 concerns according to reports Beau then got into an Uber and
we just discussed we are uncertain if it was the same Uber that he arrived in here's where I have some issues with
this case and in fact some issues with the investigation that is ongoing for the search for
Bowman I think that it would be beneficial to this investigation if we could crowdsource a lot of these different
events within this short timeline because a lot of these things are unclear and I think that if you're more
transparent with some of these items that it could help to lead us to bow or at least get us some breadcrumbs start
creating a breadcrumb trail because as we will see in this timeline here relatively shortly the Trail Ends very
soon so he gets in an Uber after leaving the store now at 2 15 p.m a text containing
in Uber gray was sent to 9-1-1 through the emergency alert system within the Uber app this is before his phone goes
off now fishy I don't know exactly what the details of all of these items are but this is how it's reported this is
how it's stated and this is the information that is released to the public that he texts 9-1-1 and this
happens before his phone went off so there must be some indication to law enforcement or to the phone company that
at some point his phone goes off after this communication he texts Uber 911 and I don't know how this works but they
claim that it's normally followed up with like a help text which he didn't send but then 911 tried to get in
contact with Bowman that's exactly right 911 attempts to contact Bo but is not successful and then unfortunately Beau
has been missing since and has not had contact with anyone he has not contacted family or friends
work or even 9-1-1 after this and just to be clear about the timeline Bo walks to get coffee and then takes a uber to
the 7-Eleven that ride is completed he then gets into another Uber that ride is completed so we do have an in spot of
where Uber claims that they drop bow man off at yeah we end up being told that Beau man was dropped off on Berkeley
Street which is a residential area in Santa Monica a few days after he's not heard from authorities conduct a welfare
check at Bow man's apartment upon requests by family members and work colleagues who had not heard from him
I'm getting some conflicting reports here on the missing persons report so many of the reports state that on
December 4th 2021 bow man's assistant who picked them up from the airport filed a missing persons report with the
Los Angeles Police Department some other reports state that the missing persons unit at LAPD was not notified of bow
man's missing status until several days in fact almost two weeks later and we'll dive into that here in a
second let's get into some background information for Bo he was born on February 21st
1982 in Post Texas after his parents separation he grew up moving between his father's house which
was located in Texas and his mother's home which was located in Massachusetts at a younger age Beau had some substance
abuse issues and he worked hard through this he entered recovery at age 23 and got clean now as a result he went on to
found sober grid this back in 2016. sobergrid is a social Community app that provides support for recovering addicts
an interesting story that I got to hear Bo tell you can go online and he did several interviews even given an award
from Forbes Magazine so if you want to hear and see these interviews with Bo you can find them and one thing that I
found interesting here captain and something I never even considered mm-hmm but you know when
you are recovering addict a lot of that you need the support of other individuals like-minded individuals
people that have shared similar experiences people that are recovering themselves it's it's a support-based
recovery one thing that I found to be interesting was Beau came up with this idea because he was in recovery himself
and he travels out to the Sundance Film Festival then while he's there he's like
okay well there's all these apps for people that want to hook up maybe go out on a date or meet new people or go to a
party maybe go to a bar have some drinks or what have you but there's no real Community for a person that is seeking
somebody that's in recovery as well like-minded individuals or somebody just to talk to
you know hey I'm out here on my own I'm I I'm I'm experiencing something here I just need somebody to talk to
some support I need some kind of a little bit of somebody to lean on if you will and so he comes up with this great
idea for sober grid it has some success this app ends up having some success as we said he was even featured in Forbes
Magazine now at the time of his disappearance Beau man lived in an apartment in Los Angeles California he
had previously lived in New York and his company is based out of the Boston Massachusetts area well a couple things
and unlike the colonel was saying you can go read this article in Forbes magazine or or online as well and it
shows you a couple things one bow man he's very bright individual driven individual
creative individual and by reading this interview you get um a little bit of a taste of his
personality as we said in the trailer Beau was in a long distance relationship with Jason Abate who he met five years
prior through a dating site in Texas and the pair planned to get married now we had several requests we received a bunch
of requests to cover beau's case and thank you to everyone who suggested this case one of the reasons amongst others
that we decided to feature this case is that here we have a very dissatisfying timeline to me to me I look at this
captain and I see that there are Mysteries throughout this time [Music] all right we are back cheers mates
cheers to you Colonel and Paul's I almost cheers to you first there Captain hey the the Mr canoe head beer it's so
delicious and it also made me think I wish I was wearing a douche canoe Bob Ross t-shirt right now at the same time
old Bob Ross So cheers to Bob Ross cheers to Mr canoe head and cheers to I guess the douche canoes out there to all
the canoe heads let's get into this timeline here and see what we can come up with here captain now at 2PM we know
that Beau was seen and recorded on surveillance video at that 7-Eleven again the address is
11007 Ventura Boulevard in Studio City we know this to be fact we've seen images of this surveillance footage
ourselves and we know that LAPD went to this location and they took with them this surveillance footage of bow man so
good job by them to collect this good job by 7-Eleven to actually have a working surveillance system so we get a
little bit of insight to me all of these items in his backpack just seem to raise
more questions to me I get it like given what we do for a living it's not uncommon that you're going to bring a
laptop or an iPad with you and you might sit at a bar or a coffee shop and get a
little work done while you're there but to have two laptops an iPad uh an iPhone and
then of course all the the the Chargers and the cords and cables that go along with with the that contents
that seems to me like he's carrying an awful a lot of things around with him to me I look at this and I I Come Away with
a very weird feeling in your opinion where the ice tells me the ice suggested me that he might be going home not it
doesn't have to be 100 but the ice suggest to me he's going home all of these other items in his backpack
suggest to me that he is going elsewhere yeah but you have to remember that he just came from a
long weekend holiday weekend visiting his family so he was traveling so is it possible that he just didn't get around
to taking out some of these items the issue I have is is his book bag looked way more filled
than the items that are stated so he's carrying the bag of ice and which is what he would want to do you don't want
to mix that melting bag of ice with your electronics in your backpack what you do have and I'm making an
assumption here so forgive me out there in listener land when we say that some of the contents of his backpack Spilled
Out and he's seen on video putting those items back into his backpack I want to be clear here I've not been able to see
the full length video I've only been able to see still images from his visit at the 7-Eleven so I have to make an
inference here and my inference is and based off of some of the wording coming from Jason and coming from online
reports was that he left the store with a fountain drink and one hand bag of ice
in the other hand along with several other purchases that he made there and Jason saying that he has reviewed those
purchases and simply telling us that those purchases were for Bo's home so I think what may have happened he may have
stuffed some of those other purchases not the melting ice into the backpack and in in the course of doing so may
have dropped an item or two from his backpack he's seen reloading it and then he leaves the store very quickly after
this is a very short very brief visit to this convenience store now one could argue if he's gone home but I think we
both can agree that he's gone somewhere with the bag of ice you're just not going to walk around town with a bag of
ice yeah he I bet you he has some kind of destination in mind we know that he gets into an Uber after leaving the
store at 2 15 PM his phone sends a text to 9-1-1 through the emergency alert system again within the Uber app and as
stated it's it's told to us that this happens before his phone went off now what what went off means we don't know
that doesn't mean that he sent the text and then his phone went off immediately it could mean that his phone went off at
a much later time or later the battery died but what we do know is that 9-1-1 attempts
to contact Bo to see if everything is all right but they are not successful and then we know that this is the last
contact or would seem to be the last contact or attempted contact that Beau made with anybody but we also know that
Uber told at least law enforcement and other sources where he was dropped off at did they do any follow-up on other
surveillance because we have them on surveillance at the 7-Eleven there's other stores and there's other houses in
in other businesses in these locations or in the location that he's dropped off in why isn't he seen again on camera
well and there's some very troubling things here and you just hit the nail on the head why is he not seen again on
camera in the area of of the 7-Eleven okay well maybe he gets into the Uber very quickly after leaving the store you
know within steps but the problem here is we only have to me only one of two outcomes can be possible right if
everything was normal if everything was going well that day Beau should have returned to his home he
should have gotten the Uber and it would have taken him home if that's in fact where he wanted to go and he would have
been home he would have been fine today everybody's celebrating his birthday we don't have Beau he goes missing and
to me everything ends and then begins again with one of two scenarios either the Uber is the
problem or the drop-off Point according to Uber where they dropped him off that is
our other problem right uh potential problems so I found a little bit of information regarding the Uber here
because that's one of the the more dissatisfying parts of this timeline Uber is basically saying Bo got out of
the car his ride was completed as the captain said and he got out we dropped him off here after that we don't know
what happened to him now a representative of uber told dateline in an email that there was no incident
reported to Uber Jason the boyfriend told Dateline along with Bo's family and friends
that have been pushing and pushing and pushing to find out what happened to Beau they say that they feel frustrated
with the progress or lack thereof in Bo's case Jason runs the help find Bow Man Facebook page and if anybody wants
to look that up the spelling you can you will see from the title of today's podcast but the spelling is b-e-a-u for
Bo and man is m-a-n-n Facebook page officer Jill Calhoun was originally assigned to investigate Bose
disappearance this for LAPD officer Calhoun told Dateline that the LAPD missing persons unit officially received
a notice that Beau was missing on December 17 2021. that's where I I start having a
bunch of problems with this Uber and then with the LAPD themselves right what what is the actual case here the other
reports that are online state that he was reported missing December 4th according to the detective
Mrs Calhoun or Miss Calhoun excuse me says that they were notified that he was missing on December 17th he's seen on
the surveillance footage November 30th if they're not looking for him until the 17th I'm surprised that the 7-Eleven
still had the footage maybe it's of the digital nature yeah I wonder if that's just a like somehow that's a
misreporting where he was reported once uh missing on the fourth and then again you know they follow up on the 17th it
just seems very strange to me and then miss Calhoun goes on to tell Dateline that the Uber is definitely being
investigated I cannot disclose the details but it has definitely been investigated and Jason of course goes on
to tell Dateline that the last time he spoke with Bobo did in fact tell him his car was not starting and that meant that
he would be using an Uber now one person that posted on the find Bow Man Facebook page
I think had a lot of good and interesting points that they made in their post and this comes from Doc J I
don't know if that's any relation to the doctor J but here we go hey Uber really
no incident was reported to you really if the LAPD has interviewed your driver twice
how could that be that no incident was reported to you Beau was in an Uber and used the Uber app to text 9-1-1 and
never heard from again wouldn't you want to reassure people you are doing more than this transparency is important
let's talk to your driver air quotes Kyle and then the poster goes on to say Bo made the driver stop at a 7-Eleven while
he shopped for a few things brought a melting bag of ice back in the car that he purchased at the 7-Eleven
and supposedly Beau changed the route from Brentwood to Santa Monica and texted 9-1-1 for help and your
driver didn't remember a passenger like that question mark who wouldn't remember
a passenger that text 9-1-1 on them which if I understand correctly requires the driver to acknowledge everything is
okay at some point and then doc J goes on to say oh and the driver does not do any more rides that day too question
mark and LAPD headquarters could you explain why you don't believe Foul Play is involved in Bo's disappearance he
hasn't been seen for many months and texted law enforcement for help and this is how it's being handled
he was counting on you to help him where were you and what is being done now to find him Dateline is just the beginning
it's not going away we don't just move on without a loved one who vanishes from our County maybe it's time to assign
this to a detective and begin taking missing people seriously yeah it's a it's a joke I want to know more about
the first Uber ride to the 7-Eleven did he get back into the same vehicle or not again
like this individual online Dr J what he's saying makes a lot of sense if if I'm texting 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 is trying
to get a hold of me why aren't they trying to get a hold of the Uber driver and if they did what was that
communication like and again we have surveillance at the 7-Eleven what about surveillance when he was dropped off so
why did he change his location and then why was he dropped off in Santa Monica there's so many questions and it seems
like LAPD just has too much on their plate and and he just vanishes into thin air
again the the fact that there's no surveillance after the fact or that there's like we just said a couple minutes ago
when was he reported missing that's not even clear right and if they're not out there looking for him until
the 17th or after I mean by that point Captain we are close to three weeks we're we're two and
a half weeks after he was last seen on that surveillance footage at the 7-Eleven and the thing here is where he
was dropped off in Santa Monica on Berkeley Street this is a busy residential area right we've seen so
many cases that have been solved or leads that have been provided to law enforcement from ring doorbell cameras
and from Simply Safe cameras and from ADT surveillance cameras from people's homes and also businesses I can't
believe you keep bringing up why don't we have him on camera again I'm with you lock and step here my friend I can't
believe that there he's not been captured on video anywhere else if he made it to this Berkeley Street in Santa
Monica like the Uber driver says and like the company Uber is telling us then there should be some kind of
digital footprint of him having been there now some have expressed a concern about
beau's State of Mind at the time that he went missing and these are people that are close to him
and family so we do need to take that into account however his boyfriend Jason says that when he spoke to him when he
spoke to Beau the night before he went missing Bo sounded normal to him didn't say anything out of the ordinary to him
Jason says that he knew Beau the best and he says he can assure everyone that Beau did not voluntarily disappear well
this harks back to another case the Tyler Davis case which a lot of people have emailed wanting to know if there's
been any updates I'm constantly looking for anything I I do know that they petition I don't know if it went through
but they did petition to have him declared deceased but here's another example Tyler his wife his friend they get
dropped off they get dropped off by an Uber at a at a hotel they're seen on surveillance but
then he just disappears into the night well and if I'm Uber if I'm the CEO of Uber or I'm running you know Uber in
California or this area la I want I want all of the customers and clients to know that when you ride with
Uber you are safe that you you will you will have a safe trip you will you will get into the
vehicle have a safe drive a safe trip and arrive safely at your destination well we keep seeing all these issues
with Uber and Lyft and and other other ride services like this why not just have it mandatory that if you're going
to be an Uber driver that you have to have a certain amount of cameras on so then if there's any question
about the ride if there's any question about the behavior of the person using that service
that they could go back and look at the footage well and this would be important
for the drivers themselves for the safety of the drivers themselves it's a win-win
it's a win-win but here's where I have a problem with the bow Man story somebody's dropping the ball here either
Uber or the LAPD because or both what we're left being told is that he text 9-1-1 9-1-1 did their job
they try to get in contact with Bo after receiving this communication they can't
get in in contact with him police are saying we've found no evidence of Foul Play
uh Uber saying that they dropped him off in Santa Monica instead of his original
destination why aren't we being told by LAPD that we've investigated that and Uber is
correct Bow Man was dropped off where they said he was dropped off or why aren't they saying we have no
evidence that he arrived at that new destination because no evidence of him arriving at that new destination
certainly points to Foul Play that is your evidence of Foul Play and the the problem I have with this case is kind of
two and then three-fold Uber LAPD Bose phone the phone service that he's paying for
have they subpoenaed those records have they tried to track his movements or at least the movement of his phone
that day these are all things that should be easily researched and confirmed I mean
he's he's doing everything or most everything through the Uber app yeah if he's if he's changing the destination
even if it's verbally to the driver isn't the driver changing that within the app I believe it has to be or they
can't they couldn't take them to a different location exactly and then if Kyle's doing this ride on the sly if
he's like well I'll take you elsewhere just throw me 20 bucks well then he needs to be up front
with that as well this is the breadcrumb that we are missing Captain right did he
exit that Uber or not and we don't have LAPD or Uber to Uber's telling us he did that's their general
statement right but we have no proof of that we have no evidence of that and you
and I keep circling around the same thing if he arrived in Berkeley Street in Santa Monica there should be some
kind of proof some kind of digital footprint of him either being seen on somebody's doorbell camera surveillance
camera for their business or his phone indicating that he arrived and went elsewhere or the Uber drivers app and
there's all kinds of ways for us to verify that he arrived at that location safely or not well and the the problem
becomes when was he reported missing and look I don't mean to sound like my own Paul but I'm going to tell you the
moment you don't hear from somebody and you start calling their family and nobody's heard from them do not hesitate
the worst thing that can happen is that you call police and you file a missile you file a missing person report and
then you have to call them back the next day that's the worst thing that can happen if you file a report and you find
the individual don't hesitate because maybe because there was some hesitation maybe they weren't able to then go
and and try to get that information or let's just say it's then reported to the news outlets hey this guy went missing
and this is where he was last seen then people in that neighborhood business owners and people in that neighborhood
hear about this missing person and then they can check themselves well let's take a look at disappeared blog.com what
they're saying about man's case they stay on there that according to Los Angeles Police
Department a 911 text was received from Bowman's phone number on the afternoon of his disappearance they made several
attempts to contact them but he never replied the this website goes on to say that the
Uber driver told authorities now again going back to that Facebook post that poster is saying that they've seen
a report that LAPD interviewed the driver more than once interviewed the driver twice
disappeared blog.com is saying the Uber driver told authorities that Beau man was dropped off at his apartment the
website goes on to say but no signs of him were found on surveillance cameras that afternoon it should be pointed out
here this is a good point to point out that there was surveillance footage of the apartment complex and we know this
because there are available online pictures of Beau leaving the apartment complex but we don't have any
pictures of him returning so this is not for his specific apartment but for the complex itself
now this is very interesting to me because if you have the Uber driver saying that
he returned him to his apartment that becomes a problem because the Uber app records show that Bow Man was
dropped off on Berkeley Street again a residential area in Santa Monica California at 2 35 p.m now just to play
Devil's Advocate with in with this Uber driver he could have been told by Beau that this is my apartment
that's correct so so both could be true statements I think also if your law enforcement
you need to have some serious conversations with his friends and family as well if you don't have leads
if they're if they're screaming Foul Play and you have no evidence of it I think you have to be real with them to
go hey we need this information from this phone we also need his online activity
because if they can get his online activity is it possible that Beau was in another relationship yes he was engaged
in and and it seems like he was in a happy and loving relationship but there's a lot of people that have
secret relationships and so was this was this location a location of of somebody that Beau was friends with or
in a romantic relationship with well Stevie Wonder called those part-time lovers yeah here's the thing man this
plot is going to thicken and it's going to thicken real quick here so according to
his mother Beau man was recently acquainted with a man named Blake Brown whom he met online and worked with for a
period of time the man who described their relationship this is Blake Brown who describes his relationship with Beau
man as quote friends with benefits this man previously makes him brownies or something I you
can read into that however you want to read into that this man says that he previously stayed
with Bo at Bo's apartment for some time in August of 2021. Upon returning from Texas from the visit
for Thanksgiving Bo man reportedly text this Blake Brown to meet up but Blake Brown says he was not able to meet up
with Beau because he was staying in Las Vegas at the time now we'll Circle back to Blake Brown here in
a minute because this case gets even more mysterious Jonah or Joe good at least in one online
report as the person whose address that Bose Uber dropped him off in Santa Monica on November 30th 2021.
that individual Joe good has died now I don't know how or why this person passed away only that it's reported that
she passed away at her residence and she was 53 years old now she's been interviewed this is not a mystery to
those closest to the case she maintained throughout this ordeal that she never even heard of Bowman
supposedly he's dropped off at her address she since passed away but when talked to before she passes away she
says I didn't meet him I don't know why he would be coming here I don't even know who that is I've never heard that
name before now oddly enough though Captain it looks like her death is being investigated
and the family has asked that donations be sent to something called shatterproof
which is an organization for addiction could could we be in a situation where Beau is going to a location to meet a
person he's never met before even maybe using his own app attempt to help somebody yeah or I also
wonder and this is why the information from the Uber driver would clear things up was this the address
that was put into the Uber app take me to this address or was this the location that he was dropped off at
because there's been times that I'm going to a bar or I'm going to a coffee shop and we get pretty close and I go
okay you can just drop me off here or they or they go to the address and they pull up next door two doors down
from where you actually wanted to go right so maybe the Uber drivers app is stating to law enforcement and to
everybody this is where he was dropped off it's kind of a coincidence right that
she would be somebody that would possibly be in recovery or an addict themselves and then then
you wonder was Bo wrestling with addiction again well and the other thing just to go back
to that Uber portion of it you know I've often been dropped off at intersections right I'll I'll request to
be dropped off at an intersection is this simply I think we need more details here because this is simply the closest
address to an intersection or the closest address to a a spot or more of a location rather that he's
being dropped off at rather than a precise address right now I said we're going to circle back to
this Blake Brown here and here we go this to me you point at this Joe good who unfortunately passed away
and you see the the family is suggesting that please send donations to this shatter proof an organization for
addiction is could that just be some coincidence it could be could it be significant possibly
what we can't dismiss is if you map out where Blake Brown was living at the time
that bow man disappears now keep in mind Blake Brown says he was in Las Vegas at
the time that Beau man texted him but Blake Brown's address is not terribly far it's not right next door
it's 2.9 to 3.1 miles approximately so about roughly three miles from where the Uber is saying that they dropped off Bow
Man now that's driving distance three about three miles that's a long walk with a very long walk that's 45 years I
shouldn't say driving I shouldn't say driving distance because it's the same distance regardless if you're walking or
driving but it's in it's 11 to 13 minute drive if one were to make that drive and
as the captain pointed out a long walk the other thing that I found to be rather interesting here is I found two
reports that are very unsettling when you cross-reference the information and these reports with the information in
the Bow Man disappearance or the lack thereof information in the Bowman disappearance
this uh Blake Brown individual the reports I have Captain are that he left his job December 1st and may have
left that apartment on December 9th of 2021. is this all a coincidence sorry if it could be is it bad reporting could be
if these reports are true though right how the hell do you dismiss this possibility that this individual
that had some kind of relationship with bow man quits their job the day after Bo goes missing last seen at his
apartment within a week and a half of when Bo is last seen yeah it's fishy there's a lot of mystery in this
timeline there's a lot of mystery into what Bo's intentions were that afternoon what his activities were to be I think
to me though that the texting 9-1-1 is supposed to tell us all of us including the LAPD something is wrong something is
wrong starting now we don't know what it is but something is wrong starting now and
from every report I can find that text was sent before Bo man exited that Uber LAPD says no evidence of Foul Play
since when is a text or an attempted communication to 9-1-1 the emergency alert system
not some kind of evidence of potential Foul Play or an emergency well and I again I also
wonder what his activity from his phone was is it possible that he texts his friend
that they friends with benefits and and maybe this is somebody he's using drugs with and he goes well I'm out of town he
goes okay well you're out of town while Uber just take me to this spot because this is where I know I can get drugs
and yeah it's and and not just and look not to speculate too much but but think about this this is a real possibility
here's this guy that recovers and then he creates this app for people that are going through recovery to be able to
meet up and get a support system that's a very great thing to have a great thing
to create a great thing to put out into this world so if you were struggling with your addiction
more of a reason to try to hide it from people and it and we've seen in a lot of
cases when somebody does overdose that somebody disposes of the body basically because they don't want to get
in trouble but you could also put another blanket on that is it possible that if he did overdose with some people that
they knew what Bow Man created and what he was trying to do for that community and that they didn't want it to be
broadcast for the rest of the world the guy that created this app to help people
in recovery actually died from an overdose well and where is the help for the individual
I get so angry you know we talked about this in the Natalie Bollinger case that the the phone company
the service provider that she paid for she paid them on time monthly for the service when the police reach out with
the subpoena saying we would like to review her phone records because we think that that could lead us to the
person that harmed and killed this individual right they dragged their feet for 30 days due
to some language in The subpoena and in the in the search warrant they dragged their feet for 30 days and delay
Justice in that case who why don't these larger entities that operate in the millions of dollars help
us individuals out where are the phone records for bow man what is the truth from Uber and then to
top it off LAPD shame on you if you look up lapdonline.org if you go and attempt to look at the
missing persons from the Greater Los Angeles area guess whose name and picture does not appear
on the website bow mans and this website states that it was last updated in 2023
so where is our picture of Bow Man where is our information on Bowman and I say shame on ulapd for this because
I I'm dissatisfied with your investigation and again I know you cannot and will not say everything that
you've uncovered in your investigation I think that some crowdsourcing could certainly help in Bo's case but
here's the other problem I guarantee you Captain somewhere there is a line item for the taxpayers dollars that says LAPD
website updating website maintaining website there is a line item in that City's budget in that County's budget
for this website and for the persons that are in charge of this website and maintaining this website there are tax
dollars that are being spent on this and it doesn't seem to be a very thorough database
when we are missing somebody who is currently missing yeah and the one thing that we can do as a true crime Community
is to keep sharing information about these individuals keep posting their pictures online tell your friends to
post their picture online keep the conversation of this person going there's too many missing people that
just seem to poof disappear into thin air and that shouldn't be acceptable in our community
it should not be acceptable LAPD statement is that they have found no evidence means or motive for Foul Play
and bow man's disappearance a five thousand dollar reward is being offered by his family for information leading to
the recovery of Beau man since his disappearance there has been no activity on his cellular phone his family and his
partner believe he has met with foul play as they don't think that he would have gone this long without contacting
them his case remains unsolved whatever happened to Beau man his family wants answers they're asking anyone with
