[Music] crime [Music] 39-year-old Bo 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 Bo and Jason stayed quite busy with work Jason spending a lot of that time in Michigan and Bo Running his company
out of Los Angeles California sadly the wedding never took place that is because on November 30th
2021 Bow Man vanished and he has been missing ever since Bo was last seen at 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 Bose'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 Bo man the entrepreneur back in 2000 since then 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 Bo toyed with the idea of starting a YouTube
channel but B 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 longterm 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 so grid and found the support they needed and Bo's absence the
sober grid team continues to work diligently to protect Bose's Legacy and continue his and their mission as
someone who suffered from addiction himself Bo was fulfilling a desire to help people in similar
situations according to our friends over at the Charly project.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 navl to his groin he smokes
cigarettes he 5' 10 in tall and about 220 lb 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 should call the LAPD missing persons unit at 213 99680 if you have information but wish
to remain anonymous please call 1 1800222 tis that's 1 1800 222 8477 tollfree 24 hours a
day this is true crime [Music] garage [Music] [Music] today is Tuesday February 21st
2023 and it is Bo Michael man'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's
accomplishments in today's trailer leading into this case discussion Bo is the founder and CEO of a successful
application-based company that he named sober Grid at the time of his disappearance Bo was engaged to his
partner Jason the timeline that encompasses Bose'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 from his trip he was picked up by his assistant at LAX the Los Angeles International
Airport now that same evening Bo 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 Bo 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 man left his home on foot and visited a coffee shop now one article here Captain states that it was air
quotes normal for B 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 B lives now this is going to bring us to 2:00 p.m. that afternoon when Bowman is captured on
surveillance video he is shopping at a 7eleven convenience store this store is located at
117 Ventura Boulevard in 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 described the area as safe family oriented wonderful neighborhood with
decently maintained and modestly sized houses at 2 p.m. he spotted on the surveillance footage at 711 within
minutes we have at 26 p.m. B 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 Bo walked to get coffee
but took a 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 fine Bo says that the items that Bo 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 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 Bo 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 Bose'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 Bo's 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 B 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 B 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 Charlie project.org not only is he
carrying that plastic bag of ice when he leaves a 7-Eleven but in his Black Backpack there there are two laptop
computers an iPhone and an iPad inside some people have questioned well why is B 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 Bo 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 now at 2:15 p.m. a text containing in Uber gray was sent to 911 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 911 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 bow man
that's exactly right 911 attempts to contact B but is not successful and then unfortunately B has been missing since
and has not had contact with anyone he has not contacted family or friends work or even 911 after this and just to be
clear about the timeline B 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 dropped B
man off at yeah we end up being told that Bo 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 wellfare 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 rep so many of the reports state that on December 4th
2021 Bo man's assistant who picked them up from the airport filed a missing person's Report
with the Los Angeles Police Department some other reports state that the missing persons unit at LAPD was not
notified of B 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 Bo 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 sober grid 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 but you know when you are recovering adct 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 recover y one thing that I found to be interesting was Bo 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 a little bit of somebody to lean on if you will and so he comes up with this great idea
for a 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 Bo 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 and like 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 Bowman 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 Bo 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 Bose'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

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 2 pm. we
know that Bo was seen and recorded on surveillance video at that 711 again the address is
117 Ventura Boulevard and Studio 6 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 I
Come Away with a very weird feeling in your P where the ice tells me the ice suggests to 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 VIs in 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 look 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 and 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 711 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
in one hand bag of viice 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 Bose'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 going home but I think we both can agree that he's going 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 p.m
his phone sends a text to 911 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 911 attempts to contact B 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 Bo 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
followup on other surveillance because we have them on surveillance at the 7-Eleven there's other stores and
there's other houses and and 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
B 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 celebrating his
birthday we don't have B he goes missing and to me everything 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 problem 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 old dat line in an email that there was no
incident reported to Uber Jason the boyfriend told dat line along with Bo's family and friends that have been
pushing and pushing and pushing to find out what happened to Bo they say that they feel frustrated with the progress
or lack thereof in Bo's case Jason runs the helpf find boow man Facebook page and if anybody wants to look that up the
spell you can you will see from the title of today's podcast but the spelling is B Au for B and man is ma Ann
Facebook page officer Jill Calhoun was originally assigned to investigate Bose's disappearance this
for LAPD officer Calhoun told dline that the LAPD missing persons unit officially
received a notice that Bo 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 17
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 it just seems very strange to me and
then miss Calhoun goes on to tell dine 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 dat line that the last time he
spoke with Bo Bo 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 B 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 Dr 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 Bo was in an Uber and used the Uber app to text 911 and never heard from again 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 Bo changed the route from Brentwood to Santa Monica and texted 911 for help and your driver
didn't remember a passenger like that question mark who wouldn't remember a passenger that texts 911 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 Bose'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 dat line 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 911 and 911 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 lipd 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 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 Bose'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 B the night before he went missing B sounded normal to him didn't say anything out of the ordinary to him
Jason says that he knew Bo the best and he says he can assure everyone that b 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 petitioned 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 a 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
IDE services like this why why not just have it mandatory that if you're going to be a 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 what
we're or both what we're left being told is that he text 911 911 did their job they tried to get in contact with B
after receiving this communication they can't get in in contact with him police are saying we found no evidence of Foul
Play 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 is kind of two and then threefold Uber
LAPD Bose's phone the phone service that he's paying for have they subpoena 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 easy IL 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 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 door Bell camera surveillance camera for their business or his phone indicating that he arrived and went
elsewhere or the Uber drivers app and there 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 body's heard from him 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
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 bow man's case they State on there that according to Los
Angeles Police Department a 911 text was received from Bo Man's phone number on the afternoon of his disappearance they
made several attempts to contact him 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 Bow 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 B uh 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 boow 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 and with this Uber driver he could have been told by Bo that this is my apartment
that's correct so so both could be true statements I think also if you're 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 him to go hey we need this information from
his phone we also need his online activity because if they can get his online activity is it possible that Bo was in
another relationship yes he was engaged and 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
Bo was friends with or in a 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 thick in real quick here so according to his
mother Bow 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 describ their relationship this is Blake Brown who describes his relationship with bow man
as quote Friends with Benefits this man previously Bo 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 Bose's apartment for sometime in
August of 2021 Upon returning from Texas from the visit for Thanksgiving B man reportedly
textt this Blake Brown to meet up but Blake Brown says he was not able to meet up with Bo 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 who's addressed 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 Bow Man 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 Bo 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 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 driver's 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 I'll
request to be dropped off at an intersection is this simply I think we need more details here because is this
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 that 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 b 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 uh about three miles that's a long walk that's a very long walk that's 45 I
shouldn't say driving I shouldn't say driving distance because it's the same distance regard if you're walking or
driving but it's 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 in these reports with the information in the Bow Man disappearance or the lack
thereof information in the Bow Man 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 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 Bo man quits their job
the day after Bo goes missing last scene 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 B's intentions were that afternoon what his activities were to be I think to me though that the texting 911 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 911 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 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
and and not to and look not to speculate too much but but but 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
it's more of a reason to try to hide it from people and it it and we've seen in a lot of cases when somebody does
overdose that somebody dispos does of the body basically CU 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 uh 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 a overdose well and where is The Help For The Individual I get so angry you know we talked about this in the
Natalie Ballinger case that the 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 a 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 in in the in the search warrant they drag 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 both 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 man's and this website states that it was last up updated in 2023 so where is our picture of Bow Man
where is our information on Bow Man and I say shame on you LAPD 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 Bose'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 in Bow man's disappearance a $5,000
reward is being offered by his family for information leading to the recovery of Bo 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
