[dramatic music]
2
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:12,879
- Placentia is a very quiet
3
00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:15,882
bedroom community
in Orange County.
4
00:00:15,915 --> 00:00:18,585
- This is a town that was
defined by its orange groves
5
00:00:18,618 --> 00:00:22,555
and by its walnuts
and fruits and other farming.
6
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:26,126
- Lynsie loved everything
about Orange County.
7
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:27,193
What's not to love?
8
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:29,295
* *
9
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:32,899
- But even in this quaint,
agricultural hamlet,
10
00:00:32,932 --> 00:00:35,502
evil hides in the shadows.
11
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:38,772
- That night,
I watched her drive away.
12
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:40,674
And that was it.
13
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:41,675
* *
14
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:44,744
- Because of her disabilities,
the force
15
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:47,280
that would be necessary
to overtake her
16
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:50,617
would be far less than
perhaps the average person.
17
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:54,287
- I was terrified that she
had trusted the wrong person.
18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,189
- Who could possibly
want to harm
19
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:59,492
this beautiful young woman,
and why?
20
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:02,062
- The investigators ask him,
why the fake name?
21
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:03,530
- She has no driver's license.
22
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:04,764
She has no car.
23
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:06,733
Why would he drop her off
there?
24
00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:09,469
- When this person talked
about Lynsie,
25
00:01:09,502 --> 00:01:11,938
he talked about her
in the past tense.
26
00:01:11,971 --> 00:01:15,141
- Nancy says that an older
gentleman comes to her work
27
00:01:15,175 --> 00:01:16,576
looking for Lynsie.
28
00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:18,345
- I thought
it was very strange.
29
00:01:18,378 --> 00:01:20,647
Why would he be doing that?
30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,783
- We needed to somehow
chum the waters.
31
00:01:23,817 --> 00:01:26,353
- We searched this whole
area to see if we could get
32
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,321
any hits with cadaver dogs.
33
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:30,490
- It was like
a needle in a haystack.
34
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:32,392
- I was just totally alone.
35
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:36,963
I had to keep my hope alive.
36
00:01:36,996 --> 00:01:40,133
[waves crashing]
37
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:43,136
[dramatic music]
38
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:50,310

* *
41
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:04,691
- My name is Corrine Loomis,
and in 2001,
42
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:07,460
I was a detective
in Placentia.
43
00:02:07,494 --> 00:02:10,296
My caseload was primarily
domestic violence,
44
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:12,732
sexual assault,
and missing persons.
45
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,834
[tense music]
46
00:02:14,868 --> 00:02:18,805
On February 19, 2001,
a woman named Nancy Ekelund
47
00:02:18,838 --> 00:02:20,874
made a police report
that their daughter,
48
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,243
Lynsie, had not come home.
49
00:02:23,276 --> 00:02:26,079
* *
50
00:02:26,079 --> 00:02:28,081
- My name is Nancy Ekelund,
51
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:30,784
and my daughter is
Lynsie Ekelund.
52
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:32,285
[somber music]
53
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:34,554
When the police came
over to my home,
54
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:38,324
I said I haven't seen
Lynsie in over 48 hours.
55
00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:40,360
[dramatic music]
56
00:02:40,393 --> 00:02:42,862
At the time,
she was 19 years old.
57
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:46,199
She went to Fullerton Junior
College on Chapman Avenue.
58
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:47,867
She lived at home.
59
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:50,637
Lynsie was very dependable.
60
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:52,706
If she was going to be late
for something,
61
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:55,108
she always called me.
62
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:56,910
I knew something
was terribly wrong.
63
00:02:56,943 --> 00:02:59,512
* *
64
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:03,583
- In the peaceful Orange
County community of Placentia,
65
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:06,619
Nancy Ekelund is
beside herself with worry.
66
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:08,722
She tells police
that she's seen
67
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:10,457
no trace of her daughter,
Lynsie,
68
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:13,960
since the night she left
to go out with friends.
69
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:17,530
- Nancy was very concerned
but very obviously eager
70
00:03:17,564 --> 00:03:21,067
to try to give us any
information that she could.
71
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:25,271
- I told the police
February 16, 2001.
72
00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:26,940
It was a Friday night,
73
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,909
and Lynsie was going to spend
the night at Andrea's house
74
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:31,911
with another girl
from college.
75
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,546
I'd never met the girls,
76
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:35,982
but they were friends
from school.
77
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:39,619
I was comfortable with her
staying overnight with Andrea.
78
00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:41,421
So I helped her put
a few things
79
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:44,858
in a little duffel bag-type
thing.
80
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,993
And then the door rang.
81
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:48,395
I opened it.
82
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:52,098
There was a boy that
she was friends with, Chris.
83
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:53,533
* *
84
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:57,704
He was taking her over
to Andrea's house.
85
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:59,639
She always got a ride
with different people
86
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:02,108
she was friends with
because she didn't drive.
87
00:04:02,142 --> 00:04:04,644
* *
88
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:09,249
And I watched her drive away,
and that was it.
89
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:11,117
* *
90
00:04:11,151 --> 00:04:14,120
[dramatic music]
91
00:04:14,154 --> 00:04:16,890
* *
92
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:19,359
- Nancy tells police
that the next day
93
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,061
started out perfectly normal.
94
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,595
[phone ringing]
95
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:26,800
- The next morning,
Chris called me around 10:00.
96
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:29,069
He asked if he could talk
to Lynsie,
97
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:30,804
and I said Lynsie is still
98
00:04:30,837 --> 00:04:32,739
over at
her girlfriend's house.
99
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:36,309
- Nancy was expecting to see
her daughter around lunchtime,
100
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:39,112
but things didn't go
as planned.
101
00:04:39,145 --> 00:04:41,514
- Lynsie was gonna tutor
two children
102
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,683
that she tutored
every Saturday.
103
00:04:43,717 --> 00:04:45,518
- About a quarter after 11:00,
104
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:48,555
the mother of the two
little girls called,
105
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,690
asking if Lynsie was coming.
106
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:53,093
And I says,
I have not seen her.
107
00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:57,330
I assumed that she was already
there teaching your children.
108
00:04:57,364 --> 00:04:58,965
* *
109
00:04:58,998 --> 00:05:01,501
And then I really got worried,
110
00:05:01,534 --> 00:05:05,171
because Lynsie was
always reliable.
111
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:07,140
* *
112
00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:12,712
- As panic sets in,
Nancy springs into action.
113
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:16,549
- I called everybody
that knew her,
114
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:19,185
but I did not know
Andrea's phone number,
115
00:05:19,219 --> 00:05:21,121
and I should have had
the phone number.
116
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:25,291
That's basic information,
to know where your daughter is.
117
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,794
So I called the hospital.
118
00:05:27,827 --> 00:05:29,195
I was panicking.
119
00:05:29,229 --> 00:05:30,764
* *
120
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:33,433
Something definitely was wrong.
121
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:36,202
* *
122
00:05:36,236 --> 00:05:38,204
You have to wait
48 hours to file
123
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:40,073
the missing persons report.
124
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:41,708
So the next day,
125
00:05:41,741 --> 00:05:43,910
Corinne Loomis took
the report.
126
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:45,545
* *
127
00:05:45,578 --> 00:05:47,714
- In speaking with Nancy,
we needed to get
128
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:50,216
more details
about Lynsie's background
129
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:53,086
to determine what happened.
130
00:05:53,119 --> 00:05:55,422
* *
131
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:58,091
- Lynsie was born in 1980.
132
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:02,028
She had two older brothers,
Scott and Christian.
133
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:05,065
My husband at the time,
his name was Stuart.
134
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:08,368
Lynsie was about four weeks
early when she was born,
135
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,670
but it was like
a dream come true.
136
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,706
She was always smiling.
137
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:15,108
She was just
a happy little girl.
138
00:06:15,141 --> 00:06:18,111
[solemn music]
139
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:19,913
* *
140
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:23,917
When Lynsie was
about five years old,
141
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,353
Christmas Day,
142
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,421
we're driving
to Placerville, California,
143
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:29,756
where my mom and dad lived.
144
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:33,159
We got as far as
Bakersfield...
145
00:06:33,193 --> 00:06:35,395
[dramatic music]
146
00:06:35,428 --> 00:06:37,897
And we were hit
by another car.
147
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:40,433
[siren wailing]
148
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:45,538
Lynsie sustained
massive head injuries.
149
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,207
As a result
of the head injury,
150
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,810
she was partially paralyzed
on her left side.
151
00:06:50,844 --> 00:06:54,114
She didn't have normal
function on her left hand.
152
00:06:54,147 --> 00:07:00,153
Her left leg and foot
were also impaired.
153
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:02,022
My husband and I separated
154
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:06,026
about a year
after the accident.
155
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:09,596
The divorce, in part,
was caused by the accident
156
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:11,531
because I was driving,
and I think
157
00:07:11,564 --> 00:07:16,803
I was probably accused
of causing it.
158
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:21,307
Stuart moved to Texas with
the boys after the divorce.
159
00:07:21,341 --> 00:07:23,276
So my marriage was broken,
160
00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:25,879
and Lynsie and I
were on our own.
161
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:28,648
* *
162
00:07:28,682 --> 00:07:30,517
- My name is Francine Bless.
163
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:32,686
Lynsie Ekelund was my student.
164
00:07:32,719 --> 00:07:35,055
She was in my class
for fourth grade.
165
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:36,856
She had some pretty horrific
injuries.
166
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:38,558
Her left side was compromised.
167
00:07:38,591 --> 00:07:40,960
* *
168
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:43,663
- When Lynsie went back
to school, kids were mean,
169
00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:45,899
and that's normal for kids.
170
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:48,101
They made fun of her,
and it bothered her,
171
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:52,138
but she was so determined
to overcome that.
172
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:55,075
[soft music]
173
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:58,078
- She was
a very determined student.
174
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,347
She had been left-handed
before the accident,
175
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:01,915
and now she had to learn
to do everything
176
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:05,518
with her right hand,
which was extremely difficult.
177
00:08:05,552 --> 00:08:08,254
But she had
such a grit about her.
178
00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:11,057
As she got older,
she wanted to be a journalist.
179
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:14,761
She was involved in tutoring
students, community service.
180
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:17,364
She just thrived
on helping people.
181
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:18,832
* *
182
00:08:18,865 --> 00:08:21,201
Lynsie loved everything
about this community.
183
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:24,137
She loved everything
about Orange County.
184
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:28,508
* *
185
00:08:28,541 --> 00:08:31,344
But she was such
a trusting person,
186
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:33,380
to the point of being naive.
187
00:08:33,413 --> 00:08:35,582
She trusted everybody.
188
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:38,385
That was her personality.
189
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:41,254
[dramatic music]
190
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:42,555
- For the most part,
191
00:08:42,589 --> 00:08:44,057
she's just kind of like
every other kid,
192
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:46,626
but because of
her disabilities,
193
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:49,396
the force that would be
necessary to overtake her
194
00:08:49,429 --> 00:08:52,665
would be far less than,
perhaps, the average person.
195
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,101
* *
196
00:08:55,135 --> 00:08:56,736
- Given her
vulnerability,
197
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:59,072
police are even more
anxious to track down
198
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:03,076
the friends Lynsie was with
the night she disappeared.
199
00:09:03,109 --> 00:09:05,578
So they canvassed
Fullerton Junior College,
200
00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:07,714
where she goes to school.
201
00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:09,149
- My name is Geoff Boucher.
202
00:09:09,182 --> 00:09:11,618
I was a staff writer at
"The Los Angeles Times,"
203
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:14,020
and I covered crime
in Orange County.
204
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:15,855
Investigators, for them,
the starting point
205
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:18,591
would be
Amy, Andrea, and Chris,
206
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,661
the people that were
mentioned by the mom.
207
00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:25,432
Amy and Andrea were going to
college at Fullerton College
208
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:27,367
in the neighboring city.
209
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,902
* *
210
00:09:28,935 --> 00:09:31,571
- One day after Lynsie
is reported missing,
211
00:09:31,604 --> 00:09:33,440
detectives get
their first break
212
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:36,743
when a student from Fullerton
College puts police in touch
213
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:39,245
with Amy and Andrea,
the friends
214
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:43,316
Lynsie was with
the night she disappeared.
215
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:45,552
- The girls were both
visually very upset
216
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,887
hearing that
Lynsie was reported missing.
217
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,824
They confirmed that regarding
the movements that night
218
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:53,927
on February 16th,
Amy, Chris, and Andrea,
219
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,863
all of them were together.
220
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,099
- And what detectives
find out next
221
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:02,068
makes the case
even more challenging.
222
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:05,238
- Both Amy and Andrea told us
223
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,340
that Lynsie had lied
to her mother
224
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:08,975
and told her that
she was spending the night,
225
00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:10,810
but that she really hadn't.
226
00:10:10,844 --> 00:10:14,147
All of them had decided to go
to San Diego and go to a club.
227
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,349
And I'm thinking,
what happened?
228
00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,651
What happened to Lynsie?
229
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:20,820
We had more questions
than we had answers,
230
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:23,923
and the answers that we needed
weren't even close
231
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:25,658
at that point to coming true.
232
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:26,760
It's all just a puzzle.
233
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:29,729
* *
234
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:32,732
- I was at work,
and an older gentleman
235
00:10:32,766 --> 00:10:34,501
met me in the parking lot.
236
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:37,504
And he says,
this is Lynsie's money.
237
00:10:37,537 --> 00:10:39,105
I thought it was very strange.
238
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:43,510
- That was scary because
this was so out of character.
239
00:10:43,543 --> 00:10:45,712
- He got quite upset.
240
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:47,881
He seemed to me
to be very suspicious.
241
00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:50,316
- He was very evasive.
242
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:52,752
I was thinking,
he knows where she is.
243
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:03,062
[dramatic music]
244
00:11:03,328 --> 00:11:09,968
* *
245
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:12,404
- The day after
Lynsie Ekelund is reported
246
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:16,442
missing in the quiet Orange
County enclave of Placentia,
247
00:11:16,475 --> 00:11:19,478
detectives discover that
Lynsie lied to her mother
248
00:11:19,511 --> 00:11:22,114
about her whereabouts
on the night she vanished.
249
00:11:22,147 --> 00:11:24,983
* *
250
00:11:25,084 --> 00:11:26,885
- In reality,
the plan of the evening
251
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,656
was that Amy and Andrea
and Lynsie and Chris
252
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:32,424
were headed to San Diego.
253
00:11:32,458 --> 00:11:34,793
* *
254
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:38,330
- San Diego is about
100 miles south of Placentia.
255
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:40,332
[tense music]
256
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,002
Amy and Andrea had said
they were gonna go meet up
257
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:45,104
with a couple girlfriends
who lived down
258
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:47,206
in the San Diego area
and go to a club,
259
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:49,341
but through a series
of missteps,
260
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:52,478
they never connected
with the friends in San Diego,
261
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:53,912
and they got frustrated.
262
00:11:53,946 --> 00:11:56,415
So around midnight or so,
they went and had breakfast
263
00:11:56,448 --> 00:11:58,517
at Denny's,
and then they decided
264
00:11:58,550 --> 00:12:00,686
to just drive back
up to Placentia.
265
00:12:00,719 --> 00:12:02,521
* *
266
00:12:02,554 --> 00:12:05,124
- Amy and Andrea said that
Chris is at the wheel,
267
00:12:05,157 --> 00:12:08,093
and he drops the girls off
at their homes.
268
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:11,797
Lynsie is the last person
to be dropped off.
269
00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:14,800
That's the last known path
of Lynsie.
270
00:12:14,833 --> 00:12:16,535
* *
271
00:12:16,568 --> 00:12:20,839
- Chris and Lynsie were left
alone in the car ultimately,
272
00:12:20,873 --> 00:12:24,243
and then Chris ostensibly was
the last person who saw her.
273
00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:27,379
So now we needed
to talk to Chris.
274
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:30,516
Amy and Andrea gave us
his contact information.
275
00:12:30,549 --> 00:12:32,117
* *
276
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:34,553
The next day,
Chris voluntarily spoke to us.
277
00:12:34,586 --> 00:12:38,924
He spoke freely and confirmed
what Amy and Andrea had said,
278
00:12:38,957 --> 00:12:41,527
that all of them had decided
to go to San Diego
279
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,463
and go to a club.
280
00:12:44,496 --> 00:12:46,098
Chris told us that
later that night,
281
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,567
he drove
Lynsie, Amy, and Andrea
282
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,569
back up to Placentia.
283
00:12:50,602 --> 00:12:53,572
Chris was driving his truck,
and the other girls
284
00:12:53,605 --> 00:12:55,007
got dropped off first.
285
00:12:55,107 --> 00:12:59,111
He then drove Lynsie
up to her home.
286
00:12:59,144 --> 00:13:00,312
- Chris tells
the investigators that
287
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:02,748
at about 4:30,
he dropped Lynsie off
288
00:13:02,781 --> 00:13:04,583
near her house,
but not at her house.
289
00:13:04,616 --> 00:13:06,318
[dramatic music]
290
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:09,054
- Chris said he dropped her
off on the corner
291
00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:10,856
because Lynsie didn't want
her mother
292
00:13:10,889 --> 00:13:13,058
to know that
she was returning home
293
00:13:13,058 --> 00:13:14,426
in the middle of the night.
294
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:18,230
So he did not see her
go into the house.
295
00:13:18,263 --> 00:13:20,432
- Investigators find it odd
that Lynsie would want
296
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,835
to be dropped off
on a dark corner
297
00:13:22,868 --> 00:13:25,471
at 4:30 in the morning.
298
00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:27,439
But when they ask
her friends about it,
299
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:30,275
they don't bat an eye.
300
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:32,778
- Amy and Andrea said
that Lynsie had, in fact,
301
00:13:32,811 --> 00:13:35,781
been asked to be dropped off
on that corner in the past.
302
00:13:35,814 --> 00:13:39,084
- Her friends said she wanted
to not disturb her mom
303
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:40,719
or get into the house quietly.
304
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:43,155
So according to the girls,
that is not
305
00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:45,524
necessarily an unusual pattern.
306
00:13:45,557 --> 00:13:48,227
* *
307
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:51,196
- Still, investigators have
no choice than
308
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:54,433
to press Chris
for more answers.
309
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,636
- He told us that after
he left Lynsie at the corner,
310
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:02,241
he made a U-turn and went back
up to his house and--
311
00:14:02,274 --> 00:14:05,277
in his apartment--
and went to sleep.
312
00:14:05,310 --> 00:14:07,179
So we couldn't verify that.
313
00:14:07,212 --> 00:14:10,516
He lived alone, but he seemed
to be forthcoming.
314
00:14:10,549 --> 00:14:13,252
He didn't seem like
he had anything to hide.
315
00:14:13,285 --> 00:14:15,354
* *
316
00:14:15,387 --> 00:14:17,256
And also,
Amy, Chris, and Andrea,
317
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:20,259
their stories all matched,
so it kind of lent credence
318
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:23,662
to the fact that Chris
then took Lynsie up
319
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:26,498
and dropped her off.
320
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,634
- But to clear him
of any wrongdoing,
321
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:31,670
Detective Loomis needs
to verify his innocence
322
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:33,339
any way she can.
323
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:36,075
* *
324
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,577
- We asked Chris
if we could look at his truck,
325
00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:41,146
and he said yes.
326
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,582
So crime scene investigators
come and take swabs
327
00:14:43,615 --> 00:14:46,685
from the car to see if we
could locate any bodily fluids
328
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,555
or any blood or DNA
that would indicate
329
00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:52,691
that there was some sort
of struggle in the vehicle.
330
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,693
But we didn't find anything.
331
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,428
So we really had
to take Chris's statement
332
00:14:56,462 --> 00:15:01,266
at face value while
we continued to move forward.
333
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,703
- Four days have passed
since Lynsie was last seen.
334
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,339
As detectives continue
searching for her,
335
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:12,711
word spreads across peaceful
Placentia that she is missing.
336
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:17,182
- Lynsie Ekelund was my
student and became my friend.
337
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:20,386
When Lynsie didn't come home,
that was scary,
338
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:23,555
because this was so
out of character.
339
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:26,892
I was terrified that she had
trusted the wrong person,
340
00:15:26,925 --> 00:15:28,827
that something had
happened to her,
341
00:15:28,861 --> 00:15:31,663
that she could not get home.
342
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:35,067
I was very, very worried.
343
00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:36,669
- The disappearance
of Lynsie Ekelund
344
00:15:36,702 --> 00:15:40,272
is just a savage shock
for the people that knew her
345
00:15:40,305 --> 00:15:43,375
and for that community
in Orange County.
346
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:46,578
- Nobody wanted to believe
in our little town of Placentia
347
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:50,482
that something bad could happen
to such a beautiful young lady.
348
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:54,920
She was the kind of person that
just cared about everybody.
349
00:15:54,953 --> 00:15:58,490
And you just couldn't imagine
anyone being unkind to her.
350
00:15:58,524 --> 00:15:59,758
* *
351
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,160
- Five days pass.
352
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:03,028
Desperate to find Lynsie,
353
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:05,531
detectives scour
her cell phone records,
354
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:08,033
looking for any calls
that may have taken place
355
00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:10,235
before she disappeared.
356
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:12,071
- One thing we're able to do
in the investigation
357
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:14,306
is to look at
Lynsie's phone records
358
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:15,641
and see who
she may have called.
359
00:16:15,674 --> 00:16:18,077
And we did determine
that she had made
360
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:21,046
a phone call around
2:00 in the morning
361
00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:23,482
to somebody named Matt.
362
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:25,117
* *
363
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:28,053
- Matthew was a student
at Fullerton College,
364
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:31,056
and they had gone out
a few times,
365
00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:33,225
but nothing serious.
366
00:16:33,258 --> 00:16:37,363
She didn't come home
and endlessly talk about him.
367
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:40,566
She didn't say that
he was the love of her life.
368
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:42,701
He was just a friend.
369
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:45,738
- Nancy said that they were
dating on again, off again.
370
00:16:45,771 --> 00:16:48,807
So he was someone that
we needed to talk to.
371
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,410
It's always important
to look at a boyfriend
372
00:16:51,443 --> 00:16:54,279
when someone goes missing
because the dynamics
373
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:56,648
of those relationships
can often be volatile.
374
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:10,030
[dramatic music]
375
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:17,270
* *
376
00:17:17,303 --> 00:17:20,106
- After one week of searching
for 20-year-old
377
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:23,109
Lynsie Ekelund,
Placentia detectives are
378
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:25,045
zeroing in on a new suspect:
379
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:28,281
her on again, off again
boyfriend, Matt.
380
00:17:28,314 --> 00:17:32,285
- We did determine that she had
made a phone call to Matt
381
00:17:32,318 --> 00:17:35,055
around 2:00 in the morning.
382
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:37,323
Maybe they could have argued
because she had gone
383
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:39,059
to San Diego
with other people.
384
00:17:39,059 --> 00:17:40,660
So was he jealous?
385
00:17:40,694 --> 00:17:42,762
Did he have a reason
to maybe kill her
386
00:17:42,796 --> 00:17:45,632
or abduct her
or do something to her?
387
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:47,634
* *
388
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:50,236
So detectives called
and asked Matt to come in
389
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:53,840
and speak with us,
which he freely did.
390
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:55,642
And he told us
about the dynamics
391
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:56,976
of their relationship.
392
00:17:57,077 --> 00:17:58,611
* *
393
00:17:58,645 --> 00:18:00,547
- Matt tells them
that he and Lynsie
394
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:03,249
had just broken up
a week earlier,
395
00:18:03,283 --> 00:18:04,651
right before Valentine's Day.
396
00:18:04,684 --> 00:18:06,419
* *
397
00:18:06,453 --> 00:18:09,222
Matt said that the last time
Lynsie had contact with him
398
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:13,026
of any kind was
that 2:00 AM phone call.
399
00:18:13,059 --> 00:18:15,862
- Matt told us that he
and Lynsie were on good terms
400
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:18,331
and that she left
a voicemail message.
401
00:18:18,365 --> 00:18:20,667
She just basically said,
I'm on my way home.
402
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,336
Sweet dreams.
403
00:18:23,370 --> 00:18:25,672
- The only way to confirm
Matt isn't involved
404
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:28,675
in Lynsie's disappearance
is to get an alibi
405
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:31,211
for the night
she went missing.
406
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:34,214
- We asked Matt where he was
the night Lynsie went missing,
407
00:18:34,247 --> 00:18:38,351
and he said that he was
at home with his parents.
408
00:18:38,385 --> 00:18:41,488
- And that alibi checks out
as they follow up.
409
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:45,091
So investigators find him
to be credible.
410
00:18:45,125 --> 00:18:47,127
* *
411
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,429
- It's a very frustrating
feeling,
412
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:51,297
because you want
to find Lynsie.
413
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:54,200
So it's a big weight
when you just don't have
414
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:56,870
anything else to go on.
415
00:18:56,903 --> 00:19:00,707
- But more than one week
after Lynsie's disappearance,
416
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,743
Nancy is approached by
a strange character.
417
00:19:03,777 --> 00:19:07,080
- I was at work,
and an older gentleman
418
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:08,915
met me in the parking lot.
419
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:12,218
He said he knew Lynsie
because he offered her
420
00:19:12,252 --> 00:19:15,088
a ride home a few times.
421
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:17,657
And he says,
this is Lynsie's money.
422
00:19:17,691 --> 00:19:21,094
It was $250.
423
00:19:21,127 --> 00:19:24,464
And I says, well, why would
you have Lynsie's money?
424
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:28,902
And he said, she gave it to me
for safekeeping for school.
425
00:19:28,935 --> 00:19:30,570
* *
426
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:32,138
And I thought
it was very strange
427
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,407
that an older man
would be holding
428
00:19:34,441 --> 00:19:36,876
that money for my daughter.
429
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:38,945
Why would he be doing that?
430
00:19:39,045 --> 00:19:40,847
* *
431
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,782
- My name is
Michael Michelena.
432
00:19:42,816 --> 00:19:45,919
In 2001, I had been working
with the DA's office
433
00:19:45,952 --> 00:19:47,287
during the investigation.
434
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,456
Detectives get a call
from Nancy.
435
00:19:49,489 --> 00:19:52,459
She says that an older
gentleman comes to her work
436
00:19:52,492 --> 00:19:54,361
looking for Lynsie.
437
00:19:54,394 --> 00:19:56,196
This person
who approached Nancy
438
00:19:56,229 --> 00:19:58,865
said that his name
was Marty Rossler.
439
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:02,235
- It just seemed to be
a very odd dynamic,
440
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:03,870
given the age difference.
441
00:20:03,903 --> 00:20:08,641
And their relationship
just somehow didn't make sense.
442
00:20:08,675 --> 00:20:10,977
* *
443
00:20:11,011 --> 00:20:14,547
So we needed to talk to him
about his relationship
444
00:20:14,581 --> 00:20:16,716
with her and when was
the last time he saw her.
445
00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:20,487
[tense music]
446
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,223
- Police obtain
Marty's contact information
447
00:20:23,256 --> 00:20:25,425
from Lynsie's
cell phone records
448
00:20:25,458 --> 00:20:28,595
and bring him in
for questioning.
449
00:20:28,628 --> 00:20:31,231
- I remember
him being relaxed.
450
00:20:31,264 --> 00:20:33,600
And ultimately,
in speaking with Marty,
451
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:35,935
we find out his last name
is not Rossler.
452
00:20:46,546 --> 00:20:49,349
- The fact he gave a different
name really stood out.
453
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:51,518
We found that very suspicious.
454
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:54,220
- It's just--it's a red flag,
455
00:20:54,254 --> 00:20:56,623
because, you know,
somewhere between
456
00:20:56,656 --> 00:20:59,759
the truth and a crime,
you find a lie.
457
00:20:59,793 --> 00:21:02,796
So investigators ask him
why the fake name,
458
00:21:02,829 --> 00:21:05,498
and he says he was trying
to protect his marriage.
459
00:21:13,907 --> 00:21:15,075
- His explanation was
460
00:21:15,075 --> 00:21:16,409
just that he was married,
461
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:18,311
and he didn't think
his wife would like it
462
00:21:18,345 --> 00:21:19,679
that he was hanging out with
463
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:22,349
and driving around
a 20-year-old.
464
00:21:22,382 --> 00:21:25,085
- Marty was trying
to protect his marriage
465
00:21:25,085 --> 00:21:26,753
and in the process of doing so,
466
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:28,722
was putting himself
square in front
467
00:21:28,755 --> 00:21:30,924
of a missing person
investigation.
468
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,959
- Marty told us
that he had first
469
00:21:32,992 --> 00:21:35,962
met Lynsie when he saw her
walking up the street,
470
00:21:35,995 --> 00:21:37,697
juggling flower pots.
471
00:21:37,731 --> 00:21:40,500
And she seemed to be clumsy
with them and dropping them.
472
00:21:40,533 --> 00:21:42,669
And so he stopped to help her.
473
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:06,659
- Marty said he had met Lynsie
and felt bad for her
474
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:09,963
and started
to drive her around.
475
00:22:10,063 --> 00:22:12,932
- Marty said that
she had physical difficulty
476
00:22:12,966 --> 00:22:14,267
holding on to her money.
477
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:16,703
He said that
he took her shopping,
478
00:22:16,736 --> 00:22:18,104
that he took her to school.
479
00:22:18,138 --> 00:22:21,875
He seemed to have
an inordinate interest in her.
480
00:22:21,908 --> 00:22:23,543
- Investigators asked me
if Lynsie
481
00:22:23,576 --> 00:22:25,812
had ever talked
about Marty to me,
482
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:27,747
and she had never
mentioned him.
483
00:22:27,781 --> 00:22:29,115
I thought maybe
it's someone that she
484
00:22:29,149 --> 00:22:31,918
just was friends with,
and he gave her rides home.
485
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:34,754
It didn't seem odd to me
because Lynsie had
486
00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:38,491
friends of all ages,
all types of people.
487
00:22:38,525 --> 00:22:40,660
- So we asked Marty
to take a polygraph
488
00:22:40,694 --> 00:22:43,897
because it is a good tool
to see if there is deception.
489
00:22:43,930 --> 00:22:45,565
* *
490
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,767
- At first,
Marty seems okay with it,
491
00:22:47,801 --> 00:22:51,137
but as the topic is kind of
pressed, Marty gets angry,
492
00:22:51,171 --> 00:22:53,940
and he cuts
the interview short.
493
00:22:53,973 --> 00:22:57,143
There's a lot of things about
him that seemed suspicious.
494
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:12,058
[dramatic music]
495
00:23:12,258 --> 00:23:14,861
* *
496
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:18,064
- More than one week after
Lynsie Ekelund went missing,
497
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:23,436
police grill a man named
Marty about her disappearance.
498
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:25,772
- They ask him to submit
to a polygraph test,
499
00:23:25,805 --> 00:23:29,075
but he didn't want any part
in talking to them anymore.
500
00:23:29,109 --> 00:23:32,579
His reaction was to become
very defensive.
501
00:23:32,612 --> 00:23:33,947
- These interviews
are consensual.
502
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:35,482
They don't have to answer
any questions.
503
00:23:35,515 --> 00:23:37,150
So that's all voluntary.
504
00:23:37,183 --> 00:23:39,552
And there's no evidence
showing that Marty
505
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:41,788
is responsible for this.
506
00:23:41,821 --> 00:23:43,523
- He had an alibi
for that evening,
507
00:23:43,556 --> 00:23:45,392
and it completely checked out.
508
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:48,862
We couldn't prove anything with
him, so we had to let him go.
509
00:23:48,895 --> 00:23:51,698
* *
510
00:23:51,731 --> 00:23:54,401
- Investigators are back
to square one.
511
00:23:54,434 --> 00:23:57,837
So once again, they circle
back to Chris McAmis,
512
00:23:57,871 --> 00:24:00,807
the last known person
to see Lynsie alive,
513
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,711
to retrace his steps the night
he dropped off Lynsie.
514
00:24:04,744 --> 00:24:08,682
- We asked Chris to come in
for a second interview.
515
00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:11,518
My intent was to try
and basically marry him
516
00:24:11,551 --> 00:24:14,054
to the story of where
he said he went
517
00:24:14,054 --> 00:24:17,857
after he left Lynsie
at the corner.
518
00:24:17,891 --> 00:24:20,760
- Chris's version is
that he drops her off
519
00:24:20,794 --> 00:24:22,195
at 4:00 in the morning
520
00:24:22,228 --> 00:24:25,065
and returned to his apartment
in Whittier.
521
00:24:25,098 --> 00:24:26,966
* *
522
00:24:27,067 --> 00:24:29,369
- His route would have
been to go north up
523
00:24:29,402 --> 00:24:30,870
through the intersection
where there is
524
00:24:30,904 --> 00:24:33,073
a Wells Fargo bank
on the corner.
525
00:24:33,106 --> 00:24:37,711
So we seized the film
from the Wells Fargo Bank.
526
00:24:37,744 --> 00:24:39,346
We knew that Chris drove
527
00:24:39,379 --> 00:24:41,414
a white Ford
extended cab truck.
528
00:24:41,448 --> 00:24:44,217
So detectives did
view the film and saw,
529
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:47,454
in fact, a white truck
that passed that camera
530
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,356
at about 4:15 in the morning.
531
00:24:49,389 --> 00:24:51,391
The truck matched
the description
532
00:24:51,424 --> 00:24:53,727
of Chris's truck.
533
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,895
- It seems to corroborate
his story,
534
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:57,731
especially in a town
that's not very big
535
00:24:57,764 --> 00:24:59,866
with not a lot of traffic.
536
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:02,035
- The bank film lent
credence to the fact
537
00:25:02,068 --> 00:25:05,372
that Chris was telling
the truth.
538
00:25:05,405 --> 00:25:09,943
- Chris was essentially off
the table as far as suspects.
539
00:25:10,043 --> 00:25:12,545
- More than two weeks
into the investigation,
540
00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:16,383
the hopes of finding Lynsie
alive begin to dwindle.
541
00:25:16,416 --> 00:25:18,451
* *
542
00:25:18,485 --> 00:25:21,054
- At this point,
we believed that Lynsie
543
00:25:21,054 --> 00:25:25,358
had been abducted
and/or killed.
544
00:25:25,392 --> 00:25:28,695
It was frustrating because
we couldn't really prove
545
00:25:28,728 --> 00:25:31,731
anything with Chris or Matt.
546
00:25:31,765 --> 00:25:34,501
And now, as suspicious
as Marty might look,
547
00:25:34,534 --> 00:25:36,269
we couldn't prove
anything with him either.
548
00:25:36,302 --> 00:25:41,274
* *
549
00:25:41,307 --> 00:25:43,276
- As time went by,
550
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:46,446
all the possible leads
dried up.
551
00:25:46,479 --> 00:25:49,282
- We felt like we were never
going to be able to find out
552
00:25:49,315 --> 00:25:51,584
what happened to Lynsie
and give her mother
553
00:25:51,618 --> 00:25:53,153
and her family closure.
554
00:25:53,186 --> 00:25:55,288
* *
555
00:25:55,321 --> 00:25:59,292
- As weeks become months
and months turned to years,
556
00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:02,629
there's still no traction
in the case
557
00:26:02,662 --> 00:26:05,098
and no sign of Lynsie.
558
00:26:05,131 --> 00:26:08,868
- There was nothing positive
out of those years.
559
00:26:08,902 --> 00:26:11,571
I was just totally alone.
560
00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:15,141
I had to keep my hope alive.
561
00:26:15,175 --> 00:26:19,112
I just went all over the city,
putting up flyers.
562
00:26:19,145 --> 00:26:23,316
I wanted Lynsie
to be home safe.
563
00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:25,652
* *
564
00:26:28,088 --> 00:26:29,923
[soft music]
565
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:32,092
- But Placentia police
never give up
566
00:26:32,125 --> 00:26:36,096
on finding closure
for Lynsie's family.
567
00:26:36,129 --> 00:26:39,466
Finally, seven years
after Lynsie vanished,
568
00:26:39,499 --> 00:26:43,103
a new investigator
breathes life into the case.
569
00:26:43,136 --> 00:26:44,671
- My name is Larry Montgomery.
570
00:26:44,704 --> 00:26:46,673
In 2008,
I was given the opportunity
571
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:48,308
to work in a cold case unit
572
00:26:48,341 --> 00:26:50,343
at the Orange County
District Attorney's Office.
573
00:26:50,377 --> 00:26:52,512
I saw this case in the files,
574
00:26:52,545 --> 00:26:54,547
and I have,
you know, daughters,
575
00:26:54,581 --> 00:26:57,217
and I really felt for her mom.
576
00:26:57,250 --> 00:27:00,020
It was like,
I just wanted to do something.
577
00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:05,091
So I was able to take over
the Lynsie Ekelund cold case.
578
00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:07,360
- The first thing
Detective Montgomery reviews
579
00:27:07,394 --> 00:27:10,030
from the case files are
the police interviews
580
00:27:10,030 --> 00:27:12,332
with the three
potential suspects.
581
00:27:12,365 --> 00:27:14,234
- All the cases I've had
where the innocent people
582
00:27:14,267 --> 00:27:16,503
that are talked to, they are
the person that's worried,
583
00:27:16,536 --> 00:27:18,304
they are the person
that's scared,
584
00:27:18,338 --> 00:27:21,041
and they would ask
what's gonna be done.
585
00:27:21,074 --> 00:27:22,876
I listened
to Lynsie's boyfriend,
586
00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:26,913
Matthew, his interviews
after she was missing.
587
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:30,050
And everything I saw him do,
the actions he took
588
00:27:30,050 --> 00:27:32,519
were all consistent
with a boyfriend
589
00:27:32,552 --> 00:27:35,088
who's missing his girlfriend,
and he's really worried.
590
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:37,657
* *
591
00:27:37,691 --> 00:27:39,759
- Larry is very meticulous.
592
00:27:39,793 --> 00:27:41,928
He starts going over
every single thing
593
00:27:41,961 --> 00:27:46,499
from the beginning, including
an older gentleman, Marty.
594
00:27:46,533 --> 00:27:49,235
[dramatic music]
595
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:51,237
- During the interview
that Marty had with the police,
596
00:27:51,271 --> 00:27:53,740
he was suspicious
because he used a phony name,
597
00:27:53,773 --> 00:27:55,842
and he didn't want
to take a polygraph.
598
00:27:55,875 --> 00:27:57,777
But Marty had an alibi.
599
00:27:57,811 --> 00:28:00,680
He actually asked
about where Lynsie is,
600
00:28:00,714 --> 00:28:02,749
and he was doing
everything you would do
601
00:28:02,782 --> 00:28:04,551
if you really wanted
to find her
602
00:28:04,584 --> 00:28:06,286
and she's missing
and he's concerned.
603
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:09,789
I don't see murderers usually
do those kind of things.
604
00:28:09,823 --> 00:28:12,258
So I was able to rule him out
fairly quickly.
605
00:28:12,292 --> 00:28:17,931
* *
606
00:28:18,031 --> 00:28:20,033
- But when
Detective Montgomery reviews
607
00:28:20,033 --> 00:28:22,569
the tapes of Chris's
interviews with the police,
608
00:28:22,602 --> 00:28:26,272
he notices something
out of the ordinary.
609
00:28:26,306 --> 00:28:28,875
- He was very evasive.
610
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:31,311
I noticed numerous occasions
611
00:28:31,344 --> 00:28:33,947
where he'd hold his hand
in front of his mouth,
612
00:28:34,047 --> 00:28:37,050
and he'd talk
kind of covering it.
613
00:28:37,050 --> 00:28:38,451
You know, what do you think
happened to her?
614
00:28:38,485 --> 00:28:39,919
Well, I--I don't know.
615
00:28:39,953 --> 00:28:43,123
I--I hope nothing bad.
616
00:28:43,156 --> 00:28:45,358
- There's one more
very telling pattern
617
00:28:45,392 --> 00:28:49,462
Detective Montgomery notices
during Chris's interview.
618
00:28:49,496 --> 00:28:52,098
- When Chris is asked
questions about Lynsie,
619
00:28:52,132 --> 00:28:54,567
and the person
who's asking the questions,
620
00:28:54,601 --> 00:28:56,970
she actually says things
in present tense
621
00:28:57,070 --> 00:29:00,006
about Lynsie's activities
and what she's doing,
622
00:29:00,006 --> 00:29:03,143
and when Chris answered
and talked about Lynsie,
623
00:29:03,176 --> 00:29:07,480
he talked about her
in the past tense,
624
00:29:07,514 --> 00:29:10,016
which is very interesting
because if she's still alive,
625
00:29:10,016 --> 00:29:11,151
you wouldn't do that.
626
00:29:11,184 --> 00:29:12,852
If she's dead and you know it,
627
00:29:12,886 --> 00:29:14,854
but you don't think about it,
628
00:29:14,888 --> 00:29:16,389
that slips out.
629
00:29:16,423 --> 00:29:18,091
* *
630
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:19,826
So that was a big red flag.
631
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:22,062
* *
632
00:29:22,095 --> 00:29:25,031
I started looking
very closely at Chris.
633
00:29:25,065 --> 00:29:28,101
- Larry starts to review
the video from the ATM
634
00:29:28,134 --> 00:29:31,104
that, in theory,
Chris's truck drove by
635
00:29:31,137 --> 00:29:34,507
after dropping Lynsie off.
636
00:29:34,541 --> 00:29:38,945
Now, of course, we're talking
about early 2000s videos.
637
00:29:39,045 --> 00:29:41,181
They were not very clear.
It wasn't high def.
638
00:29:41,214 --> 00:29:42,849
- And I was looking
at that to see,
639
00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:44,517
well, is that really his truck?
640
00:29:44,551 --> 00:29:46,052
* *
641
00:29:46,052 --> 00:29:48,188
And lo and behold,
I do notice the mirror
642
00:29:48,221 --> 00:29:50,190
that was on the side
of the truck
643
00:29:50,223 --> 00:29:54,260
didn't have a white front,
and Chris's truck did.
644
00:29:54,294 --> 00:29:58,131
So then I knew
that's not his truck.
645
00:29:58,164 --> 00:30:01,301
Finding that this was not
his truck in that picture,
646
00:30:01,334 --> 00:30:02,969
he could have never
been there at all.
647
00:30:03,003 --> 00:30:06,172
And it just opens up
that possibility.
648
00:30:06,206 --> 00:30:09,542
I was thinking
Chris knows where she is.
649
00:30:18,451 --> 00:30:21,087
[dramatic music]
650
00:30:21,354 --> 00:30:28,294
* *
651
00:30:28,328 --> 00:30:32,399
- By 2009, more than eight
years after Lynsie Ekelund
652
00:30:32,432 --> 00:30:36,469
vanished, cold case detectives
uncover inconsistencies
653
00:30:36,503 --> 00:30:39,773
in Chris McAmis's previous
statements to police
654
00:30:39,806 --> 00:30:41,708
and with his alibi.
655
00:30:41,741 --> 00:30:47,514
- Larry realizes that the truck
on the video of the ATM
656
00:30:47,547 --> 00:30:50,383
is not McAmis's truck.
657
00:30:50,417 --> 00:30:53,086
- Basically, Chris's story
is not confirmable,
658
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:55,755
and the question is,
was he lying about that?
659
00:30:55,789 --> 00:30:58,758
At this point, I was interested
as to what his activities were
660
00:30:58,792 --> 00:31:01,127
when Lynsie disappeared.
661
00:31:01,161 --> 00:31:02,762
- To get
a better understanding
662
00:31:02,796 --> 00:31:04,264
of McAmis's movements
663
00:31:04,297 --> 00:31:07,534
the days following
Lynsie's disappearance,
664
00:31:07,567 --> 00:31:11,571
cold case detectives subpoena
his bank records.
665
00:31:11,604 --> 00:31:14,240
- Early in 2010,
one of the things I looked at
666
00:31:14,274 --> 00:31:16,276
was his credit card usage.
667
00:31:16,309 --> 00:31:18,578
And on the day that
she disappeared,
668
00:31:18,611 --> 00:31:22,349
the particular date and time
that he was apparently home,
669
00:31:22,382 --> 00:31:25,952
according to him, all day,
his credit card was used
670
00:31:25,985 --> 00:31:29,789
in Santa Clarita
at a gas station.
671
00:31:29,823 --> 00:31:32,859
That made me wonder why.
672
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:34,794
Why is he up in Santa Clarita?
673
00:31:34,828 --> 00:31:36,429
[dramatic music]
674
00:31:36,463 --> 00:31:38,865
- Larry spoke
to multiple family members
675
00:31:38,898 --> 00:31:41,501
and discovered that
Chris had been working
676
00:31:41,534 --> 00:31:44,504
with his father
doing construction.
677
00:31:44,537 --> 00:31:47,540
It was under the table
at a site in Santa Clarita.
678
00:31:47,574 --> 00:31:51,244
So Chris has access
to heavy machinery,
679
00:31:51,277 --> 00:31:55,615
heavy equipment
that can help him bury a body.
680
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:58,118
* *
681
00:31:58,151 --> 00:32:01,488
- Once we learn that Chris
had access to a tractor,
682
00:32:01,521 --> 00:32:03,957
we figured, okay,
if he did bury her up there,
683
00:32:04,057 --> 00:32:05,625
we need to look.
684
00:32:05,658 --> 00:32:07,527
Maybe she's up there.
685
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,498
* *
686
00:32:11,531 --> 00:32:13,566
We went up, and we searched
this whole area
687
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,603
where the tractor was being
used to see if we could get
688
00:32:16,636 --> 00:32:18,805
any hits with cadaver dogs.
689
00:32:18,838 --> 00:32:21,508
* *
690
00:32:21,541 --> 00:32:23,076
- You don't know
what physical evidence
691
00:32:23,109 --> 00:32:25,111
you're gonna get,
especially after all that time.
692
00:32:25,145 --> 00:32:27,080
It was like a needle
in a haystack.
693
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,516
* *
694
00:32:29,549 --> 00:32:33,119
- We spent months and months
up in the Santa Clarita area
695
00:32:33,153 --> 00:32:34,387
where this dig occurred,
696
00:32:34,421 --> 00:32:37,657
and we looked
for any possibility,
697
00:32:37,691 --> 00:32:39,492
but we could not find her.
698
00:32:39,526 --> 00:32:46,266
* *
699
00:32:46,299 --> 00:32:48,101
We decided we needed to go use
700
00:32:48,101 --> 00:32:49,936
a different technique
to find her.
701
00:32:49,969 --> 00:32:52,572
One possible way is to try
to get the person
702
00:32:52,605 --> 00:32:57,377
who buried her
to show us where it is.
703
00:32:57,410 --> 00:33:00,947
- Larry decided that
we needed to somehow
704
00:33:01,047 --> 00:33:02,349
chum the waters here.
705
00:33:02,382 --> 00:33:05,352
We needed to stir Chris up
and somehow
706
00:33:05,385 --> 00:33:08,555
get him to speak or get him
to make some sort of mistake.
707
00:33:08,588 --> 00:33:12,392
- We decided we would try
to give him the impression
708
00:33:12,425 --> 00:33:14,461
that the body's been found.
709
00:33:14,494 --> 00:33:18,264
And we thought that if we could
bring somebody to his door
710
00:33:18,298 --> 00:33:21,801
one night and give him
that information,
711
00:33:21,835 --> 00:33:24,604
that may trigger him
to want to go up
712
00:33:24,637 --> 00:33:26,172
to see if it's true.
713
00:33:26,206 --> 00:33:29,576
* *
714
00:33:29,609 --> 00:33:32,645
- Larry has another
officer play the role
715
00:33:32,679 --> 00:33:35,715
of a journalist
for a local college paper
716
00:33:35,749 --> 00:33:37,617
and knock on Chris's door.
717
00:33:37,650 --> 00:33:39,519
* *
718
00:33:39,552 --> 00:33:41,454
- And Chris answered the door.
719
00:33:41,488 --> 00:33:43,690
She told him that she's with
the newspaper for the school.
720
00:33:43,723 --> 00:33:46,292
And it looks like they may
have found Lynsie's body,
721
00:33:46,326 --> 00:33:48,728
and she was hoping that
she could get an interview
722
00:33:48,762 --> 00:33:50,897
with Chris about that.
723
00:33:50,930 --> 00:33:52,399
And he didn't want to do that.
724
00:33:52,432 --> 00:33:54,267
He said, no,
I'm not interested.
725
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,137
And she left her card with him,
and she left.
726
00:33:57,170 --> 00:33:58,738
* *
727
00:33:58,772 --> 00:34:01,408
And our hope was that
if he buried the body,
728
00:34:01,441 --> 00:34:04,678
he may want to go up and see
if there's a hole there
729
00:34:04,711 --> 00:34:06,112
or if the body is gone.
730
00:34:06,146 --> 00:34:08,281
* *
731
00:34:08,314 --> 00:34:09,749
- With a trap baited,
732
00:34:09,783 --> 00:34:13,253
on the night
of October 21, 2010,
733
00:34:13,286 --> 00:34:15,455
undercover officers sit
in waiting
734
00:34:15,488 --> 00:34:19,192
outside of
Chris McAmis's house.
735
00:34:19,225 --> 00:34:21,494
- That night,
about 3:00 in the morning,
736
00:34:21,528 --> 00:34:23,129
a light turns on in the house.
737
00:34:23,163 --> 00:34:25,632
* *
738
00:34:25,665 --> 00:34:28,234
The garage door opens,
and he took off fast,
739
00:34:28,268 --> 00:34:29,703
and he went through
neighborhoods.
740
00:34:29,736 --> 00:34:32,772
And I think five or six
vehicles were following.
741
00:34:32,806 --> 00:34:34,574
* *
742
00:34:34,607 --> 00:34:36,443
It looked like he was gonna
get on the freeway
743
00:34:36,476 --> 00:34:39,779
to go northbound
towards Santa Clarita.
744
00:34:39,813 --> 00:34:41,948
- But the way he was driving,
745
00:34:41,981 --> 00:34:45,118
it kind of makes it seem like
Chris was very much on edge,
746
00:34:45,151 --> 00:34:47,087
and he was very nervous
747
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,790
and was checking behind him
at every step.
748
00:34:50,824 --> 00:34:53,326
- And he floored his car
and went really fast
749
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,628
and tried to get out
of the track really quick,
750
00:34:55,662 --> 00:34:57,664
but they were still
following him.
751
00:34:57,697 --> 00:35:01,735
And he went to the Fullerton
Police Department.
752
00:35:01,768 --> 00:35:05,238
- Chris reported that
he was being followed.
753
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:07,807
Fullerton PD gave him
the standard, you know,
754
00:35:07,841 --> 00:35:09,042
do you owe money to anybody?
755
00:35:09,042 --> 00:35:10,243
Do you do drugs?
756
00:35:10,276 --> 00:35:12,512
Just be careful
of your surroundings.
757
00:35:12,545 --> 00:35:17,117
And Chris then left the police
department in Fullerton.
758
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:18,818
So we got burned
on the surveillance.
759
00:35:18,852 --> 00:35:21,221
* *
760
00:35:21,254 --> 00:35:23,189
- We decided
to call off the plan.
761
00:35:23,223 --> 00:35:27,527
So we figured we would
have to try another idea.
762
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,363
I wanted to be able
to find Lynsie's body,
763
00:35:30,397 --> 00:35:33,433
get some closure,
even though it's terrible,
764
00:35:33,466 --> 00:35:37,237
some closure for Nancy,
her mom.
765
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:40,807
The biggest hurdle was getting
him to admit that he did it,
766
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,142
and can we find her body?
767
00:35:42,175 --> 00:35:43,677
* *
768
00:35:43,710 --> 00:35:45,845
- After mulling over
possible options,
769
00:35:45,879 --> 00:35:48,715
detectives decide
to take the ultimate risk
770
00:35:48,748 --> 00:35:51,084
in hopes of finally
getting answers
771
00:35:51,084 --> 00:35:52,719
about what happened to Lynsie.
772
00:35:52,752 --> 00:35:55,221
* *
773
00:35:55,255 --> 00:35:57,323
- At the time,
investigators really only
774
00:35:57,357 --> 00:36:00,226
had a suspicion that
Chris was the person
775
00:36:00,260 --> 00:36:02,429
involved in this crime.
776
00:36:02,462 --> 00:36:04,397
- So we went for broke
and decided,
777
00:36:04,431 --> 00:36:06,833
let's just get
the Ramey warrant.
778
00:36:06,866 --> 00:36:09,636
- What that means is that
they're allowed to arrest him,
779
00:36:09,669 --> 00:36:11,304
and they're allowed
to hold him,
780
00:36:11,338 --> 00:36:13,340
and of course,
they can interview him.
781
00:36:13,373 --> 00:36:15,342
But they have to decide
within two days
782
00:36:15,375 --> 00:36:17,043
whether the case is fileable.
783
00:36:17,043 --> 00:36:20,547
And realistically, if they
didn't find anything more,
784
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:22,716
he was gonna be released
in two days.
785
00:36:22,749 --> 00:36:27,354
* *
786
00:36:27,387 --> 00:36:30,523
- On October 27, 2010,
787
00:36:30,557 --> 00:36:34,094
more than nine years since
Lynsie Ekelund disappeared,
788
00:36:34,127 --> 00:36:38,264
detectives issue Chris McAmis
a Ramey warrant for his arrest
789
00:36:38,298 --> 00:36:40,767
and bring him in
for questioning.
790
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,169
- Deciding to make
an arrest on Chris
791
00:36:43,203 --> 00:36:48,608
was a difficult one to make
because if he invokes Miranda
792
00:36:48,641 --> 00:36:50,443
immediately and doesn't talk,
793
00:36:50,477 --> 00:36:53,213
we're not gonna have much
that we can do.
794
00:36:58,752 --> 00:37:00,453
- It was
a make-or-break interview.
795
00:37:03,656 --> 00:37:05,692
If he doesn't talk,
we won't have enough for the DA
796
00:37:05,725 --> 00:37:07,794
to file charges,
and he would be let go.
797
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:23,909
[dramatic music]
798
00:37:24,176 --> 00:37:27,646
* *
799
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,349
- More than nine years after
the disappearance
800
00:37:30,382 --> 00:37:33,619
of Orange County college
student Lynsie Ekelund,
801
00:37:33,652 --> 00:37:35,387
cold-case detectives have
802
00:37:35,421 --> 00:37:37,790
the potential killer
in custody.
803
00:37:37,823 --> 00:37:40,459
- Chris McAmis had been given
the Miranda warning,
804
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:43,262
so he knew
he didn't have to speak to us.
805
00:37:43,295 --> 00:37:47,099
But if Chris doesn't confess,
he's gonna walk out the door,
806
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:48,734
and justice will not be served.
807
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:55,674
- When Chris brings up
the fact that he thinks
808
00:37:55,708 --> 00:37:57,543
he might need a lawyer,
we're really getting close
809
00:37:57,576 --> 00:37:59,445
to that area
where he might ask for one,
810
00:37:59,478 --> 00:38:01,347
but then my partner gave
the idea
811
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:03,215
that we want to hear your side.
812
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:16,428
- And that's what
actually broke him,
813
00:38:16,462 --> 00:38:19,465
and he immediately decided
to start to talk to us
814
00:38:19,498 --> 00:38:21,200
about what really happened.
815
00:38:47,092 --> 00:38:50,562
- Chris said he drinks
quite a bit, he says.
816
00:38:50,596 --> 00:38:53,499
And then he gets more energy,
whatever.
817
00:38:53,532 --> 00:38:57,403
He comes back in to try again
to have sex with Lynsie.
818
00:39:27,032 --> 00:39:29,935
- Hearing somebody
actually speak the words,
819
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:32,037
I was stunned.
820
00:39:32,037 --> 00:39:34,740
I never sensed remorse.
821
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:37,943
He was finally
unburdening himself
822
00:39:38,043 --> 00:39:40,813
from this horrible thing
that he had done.
823
00:40:02,034 --> 00:40:04,136
[dramatic music]
824
00:40:04,169 --> 00:40:06,972
- Chris McAmis agrees
to show investigators
825
00:40:07,006 --> 00:40:10,042
exactly where he buried her
in Los Angeles County.
826
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:11,677
* *
827
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:13,345
- As we arrived
at the construction site
828
00:40:13,379 --> 00:40:16,715
in Santa Clarita, Chris said
it was very different-looking
829
00:40:16,749 --> 00:40:18,050
10 years earlier
when he buried her.
830
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:19,952
* *
831
00:40:19,985 --> 00:40:22,855
Then he said it could be
as far as maybe
832
00:40:22,888 --> 00:40:28,794
about 10 to 15 feet that way
or 10 or 15 feet that way.
833
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:31,296
- The LA County coroners
have the scooper,
834
00:40:31,330 --> 00:40:32,831
and they're digging.
835
00:40:32,865 --> 00:40:37,469
And they're digging
and digging and digging here.
836
00:40:37,503 --> 00:40:40,973
And I'm thinking,
we're not gonna get anything.
837
00:40:41,006 --> 00:40:43,542
- We spent one full day
digging.
838
00:40:43,575 --> 00:40:45,077
* *
839
00:40:45,110 --> 00:40:50,082
And then one scoop brought up
a bright blue shoe.
840
00:40:50,115 --> 00:40:52,051
* *
841
00:40:52,084 --> 00:40:55,454
And in it were
the bones of a foot.
842
00:40:55,487 --> 00:40:58,257
* *
843
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,492
And I knew we found her.
844
00:41:00,526 --> 00:41:02,795
* *
845
00:41:02,828 --> 00:41:04,096
- I couldn't even believe it.
846
00:41:04,129 --> 00:41:05,831
We actually found her.
847
00:41:05,864 --> 00:41:07,533
And Chris was telling
the truth.
848
00:41:07,566 --> 00:41:09,802
* *
849
00:41:09,835 --> 00:41:13,739
- I got a call at work
in the middle of the day
850
00:41:13,772 --> 00:41:17,743
from the police, saying that
we have news about Lynsie.
851
00:41:17,776 --> 00:41:19,278
Can you come home?
852
00:41:19,311 --> 00:41:21,080
And as I'm coming through
the parking lot
853
00:41:21,113 --> 00:41:22,915
of my apartment,
854
00:41:22,948 --> 00:41:24,983
I knew that Lynsie was
going to be standing there.
855
00:41:25,084 --> 00:41:27,986
There was no other thought
in my mind.
856
00:41:28,087 --> 00:41:30,856
[somber music]
857
00:41:30,889 --> 00:41:32,524
And I looked up,
and she wasn't there.
858
00:41:32,558 --> 00:41:34,560
I saw Mrs. Loomis.
859
00:41:34,593 --> 00:41:36,528
- She looked at me,
and she said, I was hoping
860
00:41:36,562 --> 00:41:38,530
that when I walked
up the stairs,
861
00:41:38,564 --> 00:41:41,367
that you would be
standing there with Lynsie.
862
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,102
That was heartbreaking.
863
00:41:43,135 --> 00:41:47,606
So even after all those years,
when common sense
864
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:49,875
and just rational thinking
tells you,
865
00:41:49,908 --> 00:41:51,477
this person's not coming back,
866
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:53,112
she still held on to that hope.
867
00:41:53,145 --> 00:41:55,147
And that's--
that's what parents do.
868
00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:56,849
* *
869
00:41:56,882 --> 00:41:58,717
- And then it hit me.
870
00:41:58,751 --> 00:42:01,153
Then they said she was dead.
871
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:04,056
* *
872
00:42:04,056 --> 00:42:06,358
I felt that everything
was just gone.
873
00:42:06,392 --> 00:42:10,062
Nothing mattered anymore.
874
00:42:10,062 --> 00:42:12,898
- With Lynsie's remains
finally recovered
875
00:42:12,931 --> 00:42:15,534
and Chris McAmis's
confession on tape,
876
00:42:15,567 --> 00:42:16,935
Chris hires an attorney
877
00:42:16,969 --> 00:42:19,271
who offers prosecutors
a plea deal.
878
00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:22,574
- Chris's attorney came to me
and said he would plea
879
00:42:22,608 --> 00:42:25,377
right away
to second-degree murder
880
00:42:25,411 --> 00:42:27,846
for 15 years to life in prison.
881
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,484
- That decision was run
by Lynsie's mother, Nancy.
882
00:42:32,518 --> 00:42:34,887
She agreed to go
along with that
883
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,189
and just conclude the matter.
884
00:42:37,222 --> 00:42:41,093
* *
885
00:42:41,126 --> 00:42:43,796
- Almost a decade
after she went missing,
886
00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:47,199
Lynsie Ekelund is
finally laid to rest.
887
00:42:47,232 --> 00:42:50,936
- Lynsie's memorial service
was in December 2010.
888
00:42:50,969 --> 00:42:52,471
We wanted to go.
I think it's because
889
00:42:52,504 --> 00:42:54,973
we had been embedded
with the family
890
00:42:55,007 --> 00:42:57,810
and embedded with this case
for so long.
891
00:42:57,843 --> 00:43:02,815
I remember how emotional
it was, even for me.
892
00:43:02,848 --> 00:43:06,218
- There was a lot of people
there because all of us
893
00:43:06,251 --> 00:43:07,953
cared so deeply for Lynsie.
894
00:43:08,053 --> 00:43:10,589
And the memorial
gave us closure,
895
00:43:10,622 --> 00:43:11,957
just to hug each other
896
00:43:12,057 --> 00:43:15,894
and to just have
that special moment.
897
00:43:15,928 --> 00:43:17,930
- I did speak at her memorial.
898
00:43:17,963 --> 00:43:22,067
I thanked everyone
for being there.
899
00:43:22,067 --> 00:43:26,105
And I said, Lynsie, up there,
somewhere, is your star.
900
00:43:26,138 --> 00:43:28,540
Your angels are
looking over you.
901
00:43:28,574 --> 00:43:31,243
I know she's there.
902
00:43:31,276 --> 00:43:34,747
I can't physically
see her anymore,
903
00:43:34,780 --> 00:43:37,683
but she's always on my mind.
904
00:43:37,716 --> 00:43:42,087
* *
905
00:43:42,087 --> 00:43:44,390
[seagull calling]
906
00:43:44,423 --> 00:43:46,191
