let's talk some true crime no no no no [Music] no no no go [Music] okay on Tuesday August 28th 2018 the
Grafton New Hampshire attorney general issued a press release announcing the division of public protection the New
Hampshire State Police and the Woodstock New Hampshire police were looking for a
missing person 26-year-old Trish Haynes was missing from the Grafton Danbury area the release was not specific about
where or when Trish was last seen it said only that she had been seen in the general area in late June or early July
senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff stren said quote I can tell you that a family member reported her missing she
hasn't been seen or heard from in some time that's causing some concern that's why law enforcement is involved in fact
Trisha's family had not heard from her since May 16th 2018 they became very alarmed when her
social security benefits checks were cut off and yet Trish remained missing they
knew that she relied on these payments for her living expenses and the people she was living with
they were very evasive when the family questioned where Trish was finally in early June her family reported her
missing to the Woodstock Police it would be months before they would know Trisha's fate and now 3 years later
they're still waiting for justice for Trish this is true crime garage and this is a case of Trish
haes no no no [Music] Trish Danielle Haynes was born in Stewart Florida on July 22nd
1992 she was the daughter of Toby Dale Duren and Megan Beth Haynes Megan and Toby were teen parents and look it's not
easy to raise a child and at their young ages and really where they were both at
in their lives they decided that the best home that they could provide and best living situation that they could provide
for Trish would be to be raised by her maternal grandparents Steven and Sandra tuky the family lived in Florida and
moved to North Carolina for a short time and then moved to New Hampshire for a few years from when Trish was about 11
years old until early in Trish's high school years then they returned to the southern part of the country Trish loved
fashion and dressing up she took pride in the outfits that she put together her favorite color was purple and she loved
anything leopard print she listened to hip-hop music and loved pizza and Red Bull she was also an animal lover and
was very close with her family according to them Trish was a very loyal friend sometimes to her own detriment Trish was
known by her friends and family as loving caring and trusting Trisha's Aunt Valerie Haynes Alvarez who has become an
outspoken advocate for Patricia's case and whom my friend and helper just spoke with at length in regards to this case
Valerie was also very close with Trish and was even present when she was born she described Trish to a reporter as
quote a sweet girl who was a little misguided she was always looking for love in the wrong places and finding it
Valerie said and according to Valerie Trish found herself in one bad relationship after another unfortunately
Trish suffered two very serious concussions when she was a kid from two separate
incidents one of which involved her getting hit in the head with a baseball bat in a completely separate situation
Trish was also diagnosed with PTSD this came to be possibly from her being assaulted by a male friend of her
mother's as a result she received disability checks and relied on these checks for her living expenses so being
raised by her her grandparents Trish was very very close with her grandmother Sandy
Tukes there are many pictures of the two of them online smiling and hugging each
other but Trish left her grandparents home in Florida in 2016 this at the age of 22 to move to
New Hampshire to live with her boyfriend Chris Hughes in North Woodstock the two
of them met while they were both living in Florida but now in our timeline Captain the two are living in New
Hampshire they both had jobs at a popular restaurant called The Landmark and the owners being the nice people
that they are allowed the two of them to live in an apartment in the restaurant building but Trish knew very few people
in that area so she did not have a large support network and the relationship well it went South rather quickly Chris
had served some time in prison and according to the family Trish told them Chris was abusive and the relationship
ship was volatile and at times even violent there are several stories of varying types of abuse from this
relationship one where Chris pulled a knife on her and once when Chris falsely thought that Trish had cheated on him he
made her shave her head the restaurant owners Andre and Irene Childs who love Trish told her to get away from Chris
but she didn't Trish ended up being arrested for domestic violence this is a charge that she pled guilty to and also
obtained a restraining order against Chris when she tried to press charges against him for domestic violence he
convinced her that that would mean that he would have to go back to prison so she recanted her report and then was
charged with filing a false police report this whole thing really is just a big mess but then in October
2017 Trish moved back to Florida but she could not Escape prosecution on the false reporting charges and on December
16th 2017 she flew from Florida back to New Hampshire to deal with her legal proceedings she stayed with a friend
named Becky in North Woodstock for two weeks but Becky lived on a remote farm with no cell service and since Trish was
always on her phone like most young people and had nothing to do this was not going to work for her yeah but
better than being in a sit situation where you're forced to shave your head that is correct so in the beginning of
January she asked Becky her friend to drop her off in Canan and was picked up by two people this would be Ashley Smith
and her husband Douglas Smith junor they lived in Grafton New Hampshire Trish and
Ashley were classmates during the years when Trish lived in New Hampshire in her
early years according to Trisha's family back in grade school Ashley was was the
mean girl who kind of bullied Trish and Trish's family did not approve of Ashley
or her family but the two ended up connecting on Facebook now that Trish was back in New Hampshire and Trish well
as we said Captain she needed somewhere to stay and she was only looking to be there temporarily because she has to go
to these Court proceedings and get this part of her life over with and move on so like you were saying it seems like
Trish was only planning to stay with them for a short period but her trial date ends up getting pushed back that's
correct captain and this situation where she's going to be moving into and again
just staying for a short time the home the Smith's home is located at 225 Main Street and the general plan was that she
was going to live there for about two weeks or so and that would make sense because she's moving in with friend with
her friend Ashley who was there with her husband and their five children so we're
already at seven people in this house Trish is going to make eight but that two weeks turned out to be longer than
that as you said this is in part because that court date got pushed from January
to April so she would have to wait it out at Ashley and Doug's place from this point on Trisha's family said that
communication with her was spotty and unpredictable she told them that in early February her cell phone was lost
or was broken so they could only reach her via Ashley's phone this was very strange at least the family thought
conversations were few and far between and always relied on Ashley's cooperation they're going to have to go
through Ashley's phone to talk to Trish she always seemed to be nearby Ashley did whenever they got Trish on the phone
the excuse was that they had no cell service at the Smith's home and they had to be in town to get actual reception
right and Trish was not very communicative during these conversations often cutting them short and waffling
about what she was up to well and we know that she has a tendency to be able to be manipulated so you wonder if she's
being manipulated by Ashley exactly or held down in some form or being abused her correct and because she had no phone
Trish stopped posting on social media as well this would be something that she would normally do very frequently so
this made it even more difficult for her family to keep regular communication with Trish and not really to be able to
keep easy tabs on her at all again also in a lot of abusive situations it's divide and conquer divide the individual
from friends and family time past the family assumed that Trish had gone to her court date in April and then served
the 7-Day sentence her lawyer had prepared her for but then Trisha's grandmother thought she would have heard
from her you know after this 7-Day sentence as Trish was supposed to return to Florida after this is all over with
but she didn't hear from Trish and she couldn't get a hold of Trish she couldn't get her on the phone even when
she had a heart attack and was hospitalized at the end of April still couldn't get any communication with
Trish wa who had the heart attack Trisha's grandmother who she was extremely close with and who raised her
so finally her grandmother Sandy did managed to get a hold of Trish this again via Ashley's phone but this was
only for a very brief conversation from what I've been told Captain the last time anyone in Trisha's family spoke
with her was May 16th 2018 so all right everyone make a mental note here May 16th
2018 over the next month and a half so roughly over the next 6 weeks or so Trish's mother and grandmother tried
repeatedly to get Trish on Ashley's phone but they were told that she wasn't around or that Trish was too busy to
take their call Ashley and her mother Wendy Place consistently told Trish's grandmother that Trish had left and
moved out and was living in Vermont with a new boyfriend that nobody had ever heard of but Trish was safe and she no
longer wanted to have any contact with her family I know you mentioned this before but she's receiving checks for
her disability what were the amount of those checks I do not know the amount of these checks but I know that it would
have been enough for her to basically think about it as like a monthly stien to to live in to eat and to survive you
know so it would have been enough for her to rent a place to stay and enough to to get her by for month to month and
I'm guessing these checks are going to Ashley's house where Trish was staying that is my understanding so
Ashley is telling Trish's family that Trish had a new boyfriend that she lives with him now and that Trish really no
longer wants to speak with her family doesn't want to speak with them moved out of state to Vermont M and then
Ashley takes it a step further and says hey Trish even said that she hates yall so this is very unusual and her family
frankly didn't really buy it but since there was no way to reach or get a hold of Trish they kind of just had to roll
with it right the other weird thing here is that Trish's family they didn't know
Ashley's married name or the address where Ashley and her husband lived so they had very little information about
these people at all yeah so trying to track down Trish her family got in touch with Chris they're actually reaching out
to the exboyfriend the abusive ex-boyfriend thinking maybe Trish got back with Chris
and she was just too embarrassed to tell her family yeah I wonder how that conversation went ring ring ring he [ __ ]
bag is our daughter there well look he might Chris might have like a grinch sized heart the small heart but he has
some heart because he at least says he's up front with them and says I've not heard from her and now I'm hearing from
you guys that you can't locate her now I'm concerned as well how can I help right so in fact he even posted on
Trisha's Facebook page on her wall at one point where are you you know so now everybody's looking for Trish well maybe
not Ashley and Doug I at least give him credit for doing that that in late May Valerie again this is Trisha's aunt
called the Plymouth district court and this is very concerning this is when the family goes okay major red flags
here Valerie discovered that Trish never showed up for her court date in April again that's the whole purpose of her
being in the state of New Hampshire to begin with this of course is very bad news her family was now left wondering
if Trish was possibly on the run from the law so Trish's grandmother finally got
Ashley on the phone and told her that look if Trish didn't call them and tell them in her own voice that she was okay
and was deliberately cutting herself off from the family when they well they were
going to file a missing person's Report with the authorities mm with the police Ashley told them not to do that or they
would never see Trish again she refused to answer any more questions texting that she just got out of a psych ward
and couldn't deal with any of this and as everyone can guess Trish never called so following through Trish's family
called Lieutenant Miler of the north Woodstock Police to report Trish missing in the first week of July
2018 Lieutenant Miler was the one dealing with Trish's court case so they were at least familiar with Trish and
the family somewhat authorities had the idea to put a halt to Trisha's Social Security benefits in an attempt to flush
her out remember Trish depended on these disability payments when cutting off her
income failed to make Trish reappear so to speak that is when it became very clear to all that something was very

cheers to you Colonel aka the goat that is the captain there doing his best post
on the vocals mhm kudos to you my friend tall cans in the air that is definitely
not me so let's keep in mind at this point in our timeline Trish is missing and it's her family that discovers that
something weird is going on they bring this to the local authorities because her family is not local well like you
said not only is she missing from her family but this Ashley person that she was staying with is saying she doesn't
want anything to do with you and and we're not going to tell you where she's at we're not going to give you any way
to communicate with her and then she misses this court appearance which would give her a at least a bench warrant and
but then the authorities like you said I think this is a great idea cut off her money because then she has to make
contact with somebody correct she would have no way of really surviving financially unless she was able to latch
on to somebody else or be dependent of someone else at this point so I'm guessing that the family would still be
hopeful at this point the police just now catching this case are going to be looking for this young woman the police
themselves were able to find some witnesses who said that they saw Trish at the 225 Main Street address in
Grafton again this is the home of Ashley and Doug Smith and there are five children but that was in the
spring and no one had seen her since miday one woman who said she met Trish at the house in the spring of 2018 her
name is Faith Partridge she said that Trish was unkempt and unable to make eye contact saying quote she did not talk to
me she always looked at the floor other witnesses that the family has been contacted by since Trisha's case went
public have told them some very disturbing things there was another couple living with Doug and Ashley Smith
at the same time as Trish how many people are living there right it's like 15 people this is Travis and Sarah
couter and their two children it's like The Brady Bunch times two yeah so you would have five adults and seven
children living in this home all at the same time and look I understand that people have to make uncomfortable
arrangements or Arrangements that sometimes in their lives that are not the most ideal but I always thought that
it's just a weird setup when I see multiple adults living with a bunch of kids it I've always just it's always
been kind of weird to me do you mean it's like a little pedo FS no no no I don't mean that at all I mean it's just
look I'm someone that that likes little kids and I can handle being around them for small doses five minutes right so a
person saying yeah I'll I'll rent a room for you from you for 200s a month oh but I have to live with your
five children that always seems either a little desperate or a little weird to me
right according to what the hannes family has been told Trish was basically enslaved by at least the Smiths maybe
all four of these adults taking care of their children cleaning the house and suffering all kinds of abuses like
beatings and strange accusations Doug Smith is rumored to be a major drug dealer and the people he and Ashley were
hanging around were not of the Savory type it seems Trish got caught up in this and because she needed somewhere to
live and also wanted to be loved and needed she became dependent on the Smiths but Ashley was manipulative and
vengeful and would accuse Trish of trying to steal Doug away from her and would tell others that Trish was
sleeping with their men with the two men in the house it seems like Ashley was the one initiating some of the beatings
and the abuses that were dealt to Trish people I mean let's face it nobody wants to sleep
with Doug you know other than Ashley apparently nobody people who saw Ashley didn't even want to sleep with Doug
people who saw Trish at this time well those who were willing to talk anyway say she was clearly being being abused
mistreated and victimized there is talk of her being beaten and emotionally exploited Faith Partridge remember we
mentioned her before she's the woman who saw Trish and said she looked disheveled
so now we have the Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family okay this is a a witness says that her husband was at the
Smith's home buying car parts and he said that he saw Doug Smith backhand Trish after they learned that Trish was
missing what the [ __ ] the partridges went to the authorities and told them hey this is something that we
saw another woman named Cayo F who was involved with Ashley Smith's brother Byron at one point told Trish's family
that she witnessed The Smith's mistreating Trish and she said the Smiths and their extended family were
very very bad people well after Doug backhanded her and then the Partridge family calls the police is there ever a
report yes they filed a report of this but it was after Trish went missing okay another woman named Beverly told the
family that Ashley and Doug abused Trish and they were taking her Social Security
money and that they pimped her out to various men to quote earn her keep these people seem like they need to be set on
fire and then we'll try to put them out with gallons of gasoline well the reason
the attorney general made the announcement on August 28th 2018 that they were looking for Trish the one that
we read in today's trailer well that was because on that same day several law enforcement agencies began conducting
some very public searches for the missing young woman these were not just the outdoor grid searches using
volunteers that we have seen in so many other cases these were targeted search warrant driven official searches of
specific locations where authorities had reason to believe Trish might be here's
an excerpt from a news report it says quote Grafton authorities spent the day on Tuesday searching a residential
property for signs of a 26-year-old woman who has been missing for about 2 months Trish Haynes who is 5 feet 6 Ines
tall and weighs 110 pounds has brown hair and brown eyes New Hampshire State Police Major Crimes
unit officials focused their efforts on a home at 225 Main Street and the land surrounding it the property is owned by
Douglas Carpenter while he is the owner of this parcel which is valued at about $190,000 according to property records
Carpenter's primary residence is listed as South Thompson Maine attempts to reach him were unsuccessful
police deferred comment on whether anyone has been living at the property the house sits on 9.5 acres of land and
has several out buildings okay so this house that police are searching the 225 Main Street is owned by Doug Carpenter
who lives in Maine this was the house where Trish was staying with her so-called friend Ashley Smith and
Ashley's husband Doug and all those kids The Smiths rented the house from this Doug
Carpenter the search of this home went on for several days and we now know that the police also searched two other
properties that same week one was located at 608 wild Meadow Road and one was located at 91 French Hill Road both
in Grafton population of Grafton 1,400 people approximately by the way and all three properties were connected in some
way to Ashley and Doug Smith per WM news Ashley Smith recently stayed in each one of those locations that's why
they're searching all three of those properties and houses so what is the Smith family's
response to all of this trisko is missing they're not looking so great well Ashley Smith told
WM news quote I woke up to a knock on the door Smith said I was all excited about my kids first day of school
getting them ready and a bunch of officers just showed up she spoke with the reporter about Trish whom she called
her best friend and when she last saw her or heard from her quote it's been a while Smith said I'd have to say at
least probably July or so June I'm not good with dates does she like to abuse all of her best friends Ashley told WM
that she couldn't understand why investigators were questioning her adding hopefully Trish will see this and
she'll come out and show the public that she's fine the reporter asked are you worried about her and she said I'm
worried sick about her the reporter asked her are you worried about her and she said I'm worried sick about her do
you find that to be a a weird statement no I think she's just bullshitting I think she's just reacting
and saying what she would expect to hear or see someone say on TV if they were asked the same question yeah now we
don't have really any information here Captain about what the police were looking for of course they're looking
for Trish and probably some of her belongings but no specifics other than what our guesses would be as to what
they were looking for at these three locations now if anything was collected or if anything of Trisha's
belongings were found on either of these premises or all or so on there's just no
public information in that regard now this puts us to September 2018 in our timeline this is when the media reported
that something was found and fact some large items were being removed from Grant's pond off of wild Meadow Road in
Grafton remember we've heard that street name before this is.3 miles 3 miles from the structure at 308
wild Meadow Road at that search location MH so not very far now members of the public said that they saw what looked
like an old stackable washer and dryer being pulled out of that pond now unfortunately inside that washer and
dryer in fact inside the washer body parts were found interestingly enough that Grant's
Pond was searched because of a tip that police received from Sarah couter the woman who was living at the
Smith's house with her husband and two kids right none of this was revealed by law enforcement at that time
nor was it addressed that Trisha's grandmother Sandy was asked to fly to New Hampshire to provide a DNA sample to
help identify the remains that were found in the washing machine so that brings us to an autopsy Captain old F me
Malik time this was conducted by New Hampshire Chief medical examiner Dr jeie Deval using DNA The Remains were
affirmatively identified as trick is Dr Deval was also able to determine that the manner of death was homicide the
autopsy was finalized in 2019 and estimated that Trish had died around May 18th 2018 so died around that date remember
she actually had some contact with her family right around that same time but that's when they lost contact with her
correct it's sad it's not really clear captain to me how they fixed the date of death to that time of May 18th
2018 my guess would be because you're you're werei you're finding some remains and not the body itself it would be
difficult to put a date on it and really a date as specific as that or even around that specific time my mind goes
to perhaps the Sarah cter tip told police either exactly or about when the washer/dryer was removed from the home
and dumped or possibly also last time she saw Trish that could be or it could be the fact that two men camping in the
area later said that they witnessed someone dumping something large in Grant's Pond and maybe they remembered
the date or about the date when that was that they witnessed that it's crazy the
finding of the remains in the autopsy were all kept tightly Under Wraps as far as the New Hampshire authorities would
discuss the case they were still saying Trish was a missing person for a while her obituary was not published until the
second half of 2019 although family was informed by the Attorney General's office in late
2018 that the remains found in the pond were Trish here is what Valerie later posted on the Facebook page that is
dedic at to Trish Haynes this is quote her grandmother and I were sworn to secrecy in September
2018 when they knew Trish was dead but we could not tell anyone else that she was dead not even family members who
continued to ask if we had heard anything and supposedly she was a missing person's case it was not until
July of 2019 that we were forced to force the hand of the AG when went to a TV station to complain about the lack of
action on the case and lo and behold that very evening before my interview was to air the AG's office made a
statement that went public first admitting it was a murder investigation end quote what was happening was
eventually the rest of the family became impatient with the stagnant quote missing person's investigation about
Trish and Valerie and Sandy the aunt and the grandmother were unimpressed with the fact that the murder was kept under
wraps and the investigation seem to really be going nowhere by that point we're talking about months and months
and months since the time that they're told we found the remains of your loved one and we've confirmed that it was a
homicide but we're still going to pretend for the sake of our investigation that she's a missing
person so they pressed the AG's office when they gave an interview to WMUR News that we've spoke about several times
already so what happens here is wmr goes to the AG's office and says hey we've we've received this information from
Trisha's family that gives the Attorney General's office the opportunity to put out that news release stating that we've
been looking for this person we've been looking for Trish Haynes right so their official news release
stated the following this comes from the New Hampshire Department of Justice which says Miss hannes was reported
missing last year she was last seen in the Grafton danburry New Hampshire area in may/june
2018 since then authorities have been investigating the circumstances of her disappearance during the course of the
investigation human remains were discovered in Grafton New Hampshire those remains were identified as the
deceased as Trish Haynes Dr Deval has also determined that Miss Haynes was the victim of a homicide the circumstances
that led to Mrs Haynes death are still being actively investigated so Trish Haynes in 2018 she decides to move in
with the Smith for a couple weeks because she has a trial that she has to appear at that gets pushed back to April
possibly push back again but it seems like around May is when her family loses all
contact with her but before that we have months and months of suspicious activity
mhm where they're trying to get a hold of Trish and they can really only talk to Ashley yes or Trish through Ashley
right and as you said communication was already difficult enough and then it seems to drop off completely around that
court date time period and they speak with her one last time and then later we're told
that the medical examiner believes that the death that the homicide took place in mid to late May of that year which
again would be right around that same time period when the communication dropped off completely right remember we
have Ashley now telling Trisha's family look she moved to Vermont with some other dude uh we don't know really much
about it but she said she doesn't want to talk to you anymore mhm she hates you she hates you yeah so leave us alone
because we don't know where she went 100% we can't help you out here show's over there's nothing to see then on top
of that now we're getting all these people coming forward towards the family and saying look we we witnessed
abuse happening at the Smith's family house yeah while she was still missing before the remains were found we have
some of those Witnesses going to the police because they're like oh wait this we we were concerned about this
situation before but sometimes you let sometimes you try to stay out of people's business a little bit and then
when you hear that this woman has gone missing they did the right thing and they went to police and say hey look
this is something we witnessed well and there's some like you said huge red flags you got Doug Smith AKA Doug
dingleberry is reported to backhander in front of other people MH I mean so so so
now as far as abusers you know it seems to me that Ashley is an abuser and Doug is a abuser
as well and now we have the other couple that was living there coming and and having their own
statements or or at least Cooperative with police mhm yeah it's a very weird and strange situation but I also want to
kind of underline this too a couple of things in fact one from what I've seen what I've
experienced when it comes to the cases that we've covered here in the garage we talk about this situation of Doug
backhanding Trish in front of Outsiders right people that don't live there usually when there's signs of abuse like
that in front of others there's much more going on behind the scenes worse stuff yeah and a lot more of it and so
that's of great concern number one but then Factor this in go back to the family to Trisha's family who are
actively looking for her when she was still missing and then who knows if police think about that for a second two
family members were told that she was actually murdered and we found her remains some of her remains it's my
belief Captain there's a chance they were only told that because one of them had to submit their DNA so they could
test the remains to see if it was in fact Trish right then they swore those two to secrecy I in part wonder if they
didn't need the DNA to identify Trish if they were able to identify her on their
own is there a chance they wouldn't have told the family they were still behaving
as this would be a missing person's case as far as the public was concerned so much so that they told Grandma and the
aunt don't tell anybody else in the family that we found her remains don't tell them that it was a homicide can you
imagine your family members even extended family coming to you and asking you what happened to one of your family
members and you you have to lie to them or say I haven't heard anything for months for month after month after month
you're hurting at all kinds of emotional levels and you're not even able to tell
these people what happened to have them comfort you or to to talk about it together you're you're you're forced to
lie to them yeah well I'm looking at this right now and just you think about the witness that sees Doug backhand her
and he he hesitates he doesn't you have to react quickly because this is what can happen
you have to speak up when you see abuse it if not you're just as bad as the abuser because you're you're giving
you're giving them more opportunity and like you said if this is happening in front of people in the
public imagine the torture that is happening right you know let's let's not sugarcoat it let's not even call it
abuse this is torture well and I want to be fair to to those individuals they did come forward
they did tell the authorities about that and we do not know the specifics the details of that situation that man could
have very likely stepped in and said hey don't do that again Doug yeah don't do that again I mean or he could have
pulled her pulled him off of her we we don't know right right we don't know for sure but if you went to police and they
didn't act on it then it's like you know I'm just saying when you see something say
something mhm well and that's why they were searching those those properties because they are police are immediately
suspicious of the Smiths once they've been able to confirm a couple things one Trish was in fact living there there is
that report that came in once she was publicly announced to be missing of that couple coming forward and saying hey we
witnessed some form of abuse and that's why they were searching not only the Smith's place that they
were staying at the time when Trish went missing but also these other two properties because I think when they
hear and get this legitimate look the person that comes forward has no dog in the fight so you believe them you
believe that they're saying oh I witnessed some abuse right you're going all right well if they were abusing her
or or Doug or just one of them was abusing her they may have done something horrible to this woman this is before
you even know she's dead may have done something horrible to her and they're hiding and concealing the body somewhere
and and so let's search every property that we can tie the Smiths to now after that press release where the police and
the Attorney General finally admit that it was a homicide and that they found Remains The Valley News pressed
Assistant Attorney General Jeff Sten about this case and stzen said there wasn't much he could add publicly he
declined to say whether authorities had identified any sus ects in haynes's death saying quote we don't typically
name suspects that's all I'm going to say at this point and quote but as we know Captain there were suspects and
currently there still are suspects currently in 2021 there are still suspects in several
of them Trish Haynes was last scene in May of 2018 she was reported missing there were
crime scenes that were ident identified remains that were found in September of 2018 again some of the family ordered
not to share with other family members the findings and throughout 2019 where we left off in our timeline
there's no arrest made there's no new leads doesn't appear to be any new evidence why what are they doing with
this investigation this murder remains unsolved the killer or Killers have not been held accountable
and as you pointed out Captain this is abuse this is torture if these people killed Trish
haes I guarantee you the last days for her were torture so much more to get to stick
