0:30

Almost every kid here has an

0:33

absolute horror story. I don't even

0:35

know how to explain it.

0:38

Hidden in the redwoods of the Pacific Northwest,

0:40

Hoopa Valley grapples with a crisis. A

0:43

series of unsolved disappearances spanning

0:45

decades. And we've been hearing about

0:48

a lot of them.

0:48

I've been following your news season

0:50

about Ashley Lauren Brown. I'm sure you may have been contacted regarding...

0:53

Is a woman by the name of Aaliyah Heavy Runner... Many

0:55

of the missing and murdered are indigenous persons.

0:58

And we wondered, what factors make

1:00

this tribal land a place where people

1:02

just vanish? So we started

1:05

looking into it. People seem to be very

1:07

hesitant to come forward because they're

1:10

scared for their own safety.

1:11

You don't know if she was trafficked.

1:14

You don't know if she was murdered. What's

1:16

even more crazy is that person,

1:18

whoever did it, is probably someone we all

1:21

know here. From

1:23

Tenderfoot TV, I'm Slecia Stanton,

1:25

and this is The Vanishing Point, an

1:27

Up and Vanish series. Available

1:30

now. Listen for free on Apple Podcasts.

1:55

The following podcast includes scary

1:57

stories with content that could be triggering to

1:59

some listeners. Listener discretion

2:01

is advised. I'm

2:30

a multi-hyphenate. So, things

2:32

have been good over here at the shop. I

2:35

don't know if you remember, but last week

2:37

we learned we had a ghost and... Well...

2:41

It's Zélán, my late wife.

2:44

I just... I couldn't be happier

2:46

that we're reunited. We've been

2:49

communicating by leaving tapes out

2:51

on the floor. It's so cute! For

2:54

example, I left out, Good morning

2:56

Vietnam. You see, she's Vietnamese.

2:59

And then she knocked over

3:02

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. I'm

3:05

not sure why. But

3:11

she's just... she's got the best sense of humor. Anyway,

3:14

speaking of tapes, let's pop one of these scary

3:16

tapes in for you.

3:25

It was September 2016.

3:28

I was going to my uncle's home

3:30

in Elizabeth, New Jersey. I

3:33

took a train somewhere in northeast Philadelphia.

3:37

I had to do a transfer in

3:40

a small train station. And

3:44

there's a guy there, also waiting

3:46

for the train. He

3:49

looked a little creepy.

3:52

His face was so skinny. Like

3:54

you could see kind of like a little bit of his

3:56

bones in his face.

3:59

He comes to me and... tries to make conversation with

4:01

me. He looks down my ticket

4:03

and says, Oh, you're in the wrong station. I was

4:07

pretty sure that was the right station, because

4:10

it said the name on my ticket. I

4:14

said, No, thank you. I'm fine. He

4:17

said like, No, you're done in the wrong station. I can show you

4:19

where you have to go. It was

4:23

a small town. So there's nowhere else to go. Another

4:25

train is not like a big train station. No,

4:28

thank you. And I was like, walk to the bars

4:31

bench and sat down.

4:34

He followed me and sat right next

4:36

to me

4:37

and tried to start making conversation. That

4:41

moment I noticed the guy was weird.

4:44

Something's

4:46

off with this guy. Something's wrong. Just

4:49

a weird sensation. I pretend

4:53

I'm making a phone call. He

4:55

still tries to talk to me.

4:59

The train comes.

5:01

I rushed to get into the train.

5:04

To the left, there were some

5:06

seats that were like facing each other. And

5:08

a train worker was sitting there.

5:12

I put my first down and

5:14

I put my folder that I had

5:16

with all my documents. I had my social

5:19

security car, my green car and

5:21

a form with all my personal information

5:24

filled out. I put

5:26

it to my left lock in that nobody will

5:28

sit next to me.

5:31

He kind of stand it for a while,

5:34

looking at me, staring at me. At that

5:38

moment, I was freaking out. This

5:41

guy's gonna do something to me. The

5:44

train worker was there. He asked me where

5:46

I was stopping. I show him my ticket and he said,

5:48

Your stop is next.

5:49

He stand

5:51

it up. I rushed

5:53

to just go behind the train worker

5:55

because I didn't want to be in that area by myself. I

5:57

have my purse.

6:00

I get up in the train station, walk

6:02

to my uncle's house. I'm

6:05

forgetting something. Didn't

6:07

I have something in my hands? I

6:11

notice I don't have the folder.

6:14

My uncle is yelling

6:16

at me, how is that you lost those

6:18

documents? I was trying

6:21

to explain to him, like, I freaked out

6:23

with, like, a weird guy that wouldn't leave me alone.

6:26

I rushed in, I forgot the folder, like, I was

6:29

panicking. I

6:31

need to find it.

6:34

We drive to the train station where

6:37

I got off. There's

6:39

no one there. There's

6:41

no, like, office open or anything. We

6:45

call the train company, and they said the

6:47

next stop was Newark train station.

6:51

We drive all the way there, talking

6:54

with the train company, see if

6:57

someone dropped it off, has lost and found. Nobody

7:00

had returned anything.

7:02

Being

7:04

a weekend,

7:04

they wouldn't be able to tell me if

7:07

my folder was there until the next

7:10

Wednesday.

7:14

Around an hour and a half after

7:16

I noticed I didn't have my folder

7:18

or my documents with

7:19

me, I received this call

7:23

while I'm outside

7:23

of the Newark train station. This

7:27

person says, yes, I have your documents, I'm going to turn

7:29

them to you. Oh,

7:31

my God, thank you so much. Can't imagine

7:34

how stressed I am. Seriously,

7:37

thank you. The

7:39

guy says, yeah, sure, I'll get them to you.

7:43

I'm like, well, but give me an address. He

7:45

will just hand out. He

7:49

will call me again and say, I have

7:51

your documents. Can you come

7:53

today?

7:55

Again, yes,

7:56

just give me an address. He

8:00

asked me, who else knows about

8:02

this? The

8:04

police. I'm

8:07

a really great person for returning this to you.

8:09

You know, people can do mean things and bad things

8:11

with this. I have your

8:14

life in my hands. I

8:17

definitely thought the questions and

8:20

the calls and not giving me an actual address

8:22

was weird. I

8:24

was crying, I was stressed. My

8:27

uncle was mad at me. I was making him waste

8:30

a lot of time of his busy

8:32

day. I had already missed

8:34

appointments.

8:36

It was just a lot of stress

8:38

to handle.

8:42

The third call, it gives

8:44

me an address. I

8:46

was like, okay, got it. And

8:49

if I put it in my phone,

8:50

the address

8:52

doesn't exist.

8:55

I'm trying to call him back. He never

8:58

picks up my calls. For

9:00

a call, he finally gives me an address that

9:02

actually exists. My

9:06

uncle picks me up from Newark Penn Station.

9:10

The address is from an old building, five

9:13

stories. Not abandoned,

9:15

but it just looked like they're not very well

9:18

maintained. Get

9:20

off the car, we're looking for somebody with a folder.

9:24

There's nobody.

9:28

Out of nowhere, this

9:29

guy is suddenly next to us.

9:32

We're literally inches away from him. And

9:36

that's when I see he's

9:38

the guy from the train.

9:42

I wanted to tell my uncle, this

9:44

is the freaking guy from the train, like what the heck?

9:48

He was literally in front of us, like I couldn't say

9:50

it without him listening to it.

9:54

So I let my uncle do the talking. Where

9:57

are the documents? So

10:00

they're upstairs in my office. My

10:04

uncle is like, oh, well, we're kind of like

10:06

in a rush. Won't

10:08

take long. Let me just grab them upstairs.

10:10

I just have them in the office. We

10:14

get in. As we're

10:17

walking, the guy is sure

10:20

to be like right next to us. He

10:24

walks us through his factory.

10:27

We're walking through hallways full of wood

10:30

and lumber and fabric

10:32

and foam. There

10:34

was nobody else in the building. I

10:38

was panicking. This

10:40

is a perfect place to murder somebody.

10:43

I grabbed my phone. I pre-dialed 911

10:46

just in case he tried to like do

10:48

something to us.

10:50

There is a couch with the

10:52

shape of a leaf.

10:55

He shows it to my uncle and he says,

10:57

lay down.

11:00

My uncle says, I'm fine. Thank you.

11:04

He changed his voice and

11:07

his facial expression. And

11:11

he says again, lay down. My

11:16

uncle is a little, you know, like what's going on here. So

11:20

he sits and he says, it is very comfortable.

11:24

Trying to be polite and play along.

11:28

But my uncle just sat down, didn't

11:31

lay down. The

11:34

guy repeats for a third time with

11:37

a very

11:38

strong voice.

11:46

My uncle looks at me. We're

11:48

both panicking. And

11:52

he just started lay down. Very

11:55

slowly. Once

11:58

my uncle started laying down. down,

12:00

this guy's

12:01

face just changed completely. He

12:05

went back to normal or hyper

12:08

in a matter of seconds. At

12:11

that moment my uncle was already

12:13

like okay we need to get the hell out

12:15

of here. My

12:18

uncle returns the conversation to like hey, the

12:21

documents.

12:23

We go to his office,

12:25

he says, yeah I have been here.

12:27

My uncle says

12:29

well if I told you we're gonna

12:32

give you some

12:32

money for returning them. How

12:35

much do you want? Three

12:38

thousand dollars. Come

12:41

on like for real how much do you want?

12:45

And again in a matter of seconds his

12:47

facial expression changed and

12:50

he says three

12:52

thousand dollars. I

12:55

didn't want to interact with this person

12:58

anymore I just wanted to leave. My

13:02

uncle is like we're trying to do

13:04

here a good thing we will give you some money

13:07

but if you're asking us for three thousand dollars it's

13:09

cheaper for us just to get new documents.

13:13

My uncle starts kind of like come on you gotta help

13:16

us. You have a good heart

13:18

you said you were gonna help her. That's

13:21

a lot of money.

13:23

We came all the way here already.

13:26

Again in a matter of seconds his

13:29

facial expression changes,

13:30

his

13:31

voice changes and he starts laughing

13:33

out loud.

13:36

That was a joke ha ha ha.

13:39

He gave us the documents. We

13:42

handed him some money. As we're

13:45

walking out of his office he

13:47

just continues walking next to

13:49

us. He was inviting

13:52

us to a type of congregation or something.

13:54

A meeting with those

13:56

people we get together every

13:59

Saturday night. and it's so much fun

14:01

and you guys should come. And

14:03

he will never say exactly what

14:06

it was about.

14:08

Why are you guys getting together for? He

14:11

just kept insisting like, we should go, we should go, we

14:13

should go. You guys are gonna like it, you guys are gonna like it.

14:17

My uncle and I respectfully said,

14:19

sorry, we have a lot of stuff to do.

14:22

She has to go back to Philadelphia.

14:25

I have a family, I have kids, I have

14:27

stuff to do at home, I can't. The

14:30

guy kept insisting, insisting, insisting. As

14:34

we're walking out of his office,

14:37

he just continues walking next to us,

14:40

telling us about that nice congregation.

14:43

Telling us to go, and telling us to go, and telling us to go.

14:48

We were going down the ramp, looking

14:50

back at him like, thank you, thank you, getting

14:52

far away from him. We

14:55

rush to the car, we get in,

14:58

and my uncle right away, said

15:00

to me, what the fuck was that? I thought we were

15:02

gonna die. That's

15:06

when I finally am able to tell him, like that

15:08

was the freaking guy of the train. Do

15:13

you understand now? He

15:19

texted me probably like three hours non-stopping

15:22

after he returned to documents

15:24

to me. If

15:27

he weren't for my uncle, I think

15:30

I will have been raped, or killed, or kidnapped. I don't know.

15:33

Nothing good. Definitely nothing good.

15:44

subplot. Malachi,

17:47

Malachi. I don't know what's

17:49

gotten into him. I had hoped my

17:57

don't make me choose you or ZELAN.

18:00

I don't want to play that game. Oh,

18:03

another message from my beloved. What

18:05

tape is it this time?

18:07

It's... it's...

18:09

Bridget Jones 2, The Edge

18:12

of Reason. Is

18:14

that the one where she breastfeeds Hugh

18:16

Grant? Or was that just

18:18

a bad dream? Ha

18:20

ha! Okay, well,

18:22

hmm... ha ha ha. I

18:25

have to admit, her movie picks are getting a little hard

18:27

to decipher. Darling,

18:29

what does this one mean? I'm

18:31

not sure what you're saying. Please. Clearer

18:35

titles. Please. Zélán.

18:39

Well, uh, anyway, let's pop

18:41

in another tape.

18:52

Eight years ago, when I was around 36 and

18:54

living

18:54

in Johannesburg, South Africa, I

18:56

decided to pop into

18:58

the mall to pick up some dog food. Our

19:02

supermarkets are attached to the mall.

19:05

When I got to the toll, there

19:07

was this really young couple

19:09

standing in front of me with their daughters sitting

19:11

in a trolley.

19:13

She was little. She must have been about five

19:16

or six.

19:18

The mom was at the end

19:20

of the toll helping to pack

19:21

the groceries.

19:23

And the father was doing the whole process of paying

19:26

and getting the last bit of groceries into

19:28

the trolley. There

19:31

was this feeling behind me, like someone was

19:33

getting a little bit too close. I

19:36

just felt super uncomfortable.

19:39

So I turned around.

19:42

Behind me, there was two gentlemen

19:44

that were just standing there but trying to

19:46

make eye contact with the daughter.

19:50

I actually thought that they all knew each other because the

19:52

guys behind them were acting so familiar

19:55

with the young girl. They

19:58

must be together. They must know each other.

19:59

other,

20:01

this arm kind of slipped past

20:03

my waist and grabbed her foot in the trolley.

20:08

They kept reaching around me and kind of grabbing

20:10

her foot and being all playful. The

20:13

more that they did this, the more uncomfortable the little

20:16

girl got. You

20:19

could kind of see she was really, really

20:21

uncomfortable with that. She

20:25

kind of pushed herself into the corner of the

20:27

trolley away from the guy's

20:29

hands,

20:30

whispered in this very little

20:33

soft voice, very

20:36

soft and very scared.

20:40

She was not comfortable at all.

20:43

Something is off.

20:47

The father turned

20:48

around. Hey, dude,

20:50

what are you doing? Stay away from my daughter.

20:55

The way that he said it

20:57

wasn't the first time that they'd

21:00

had this conversation. I just

21:03

got that feeling like they had been following

21:05

this family around this shop for a while.

21:10

This guy, he was so forward and so

21:12

confident. He kind of looked at the

21:14

dad and he was like, yeah, but we friends,

21:17

buddy. I

21:19

don't know you. Stay the hell away from my

21:22

daughter.

21:24

That's when I realized

21:25

that they don't know each other at all.

21:27

The

21:31

guy kind of backed off a little bit and the father

21:33

and the mother kind of speeded up packing their

21:35

groceries away. This

21:38

guy reaches his arm around to grab

21:41

her foot

21:41

again. I

21:43

just shift a little bit to the right and

21:45

bumped his arm out the

21:46

way so that he couldn't grab her. I just

21:50

freak out. I turn

21:53

around in a very loud

21:55

voice say, you know what? You

21:58

are so.

21:59

Lucky that you've got such a good

22:02

daddy that he protects you from all the

22:04

bad men.

22:06

I said it really loud because I wanted the guys behind

22:09

me to hear me say

22:11

that for them to understand that I caught

22:13

them out.

22:15

I know that they are not good guys.

22:19

As I said that the father turned around and he made

22:21

eye contact and we had this conversation with our

22:23

eyes.

22:25

In that moment he knew that

22:28

I was warning him that something

22:30

was

22:30

not good happening

22:32

here.

22:35

They quickly packed up their stuff and they walked

22:37

away as quickly as they could. Then

22:40

I thought okay cool. The girl

22:41

says I can relax my I can carry

22:44

on with checking

22:44

out and paying for my groceries. I

22:48

get this feeling again of someone being really close

22:50

to me behind me. As

22:52

I turn around I look and there's just one guy. When

22:56

I turn and face again to the lady behind the

22:58

toe, I look

23:00

up.

23:02

The second guy had

23:04

moved around to

23:05

the end of the toe where you pack

23:07

your groceries. He

23:09

was waiting for me at the end of the toe. Staring

23:13

at me really menacingly. They'd

23:16

lost the little girl. Now

23:19

they were going to punish me for

23:22

getting involved. They

23:25

shifted the focus from the little girl to me. It

23:29

was really scary because they were quite intimidating. I

23:34

have to do something.

23:35

I'm outnumbered.

23:38

I don't

23:38

know what their game plan is. I

23:42

had to show them that they were not going to intimidate me. In

23:47

my trolley I had a huge bag of dog food.

23:51

I thought I'm going to pick this bag up and I'm going to

23:53

make it look like it's nothing.

23:53

I

23:57

leaned over the trolley and I picked it up like

23:59

it was just a row. roll of toilet paper and I threw it on

24:01

the counter very casually without a second

24:03

thought, maintaining

24:06

eye contact with the guy at the end of the toll. I

24:09

paid for everything. I put everything in the trolley. I'm

24:11

pushing to leave

24:14

the toll. He moves

24:16

over and blocks the exit for the toll

24:19

so that I can't get past. Nudge

24:22

him a little bit with the trolley and I push him a little

24:25

bit

24:26

but he won't leave.

24:30

Push him a little bit harder and he steps out the way

24:32

and as I walk past,

24:34

he laughs menacingly at me. It was

24:39

quite a scary laugh.

24:44

When I had left the shop, I decided there was no

24:46

way I was going to go back to my car. I

24:50

just had this feeling that they were going to follow me.

24:55

I started walking around the mall to

24:57

try and lose them within the mall. They

25:01

just were following me for about 10

25:03

minutes. I'm

25:05

walking through the mall and I turn around.

25:08

A third guy had joined the other two

25:10

guys.

25:13

I now see three guys following

25:15

me. The

25:18

guy who had been standing behind me in the

25:20

queue made

25:23

this hand movement across his neck

25:26

like he's going to cut my throat while

25:29

staring at me.

25:32

My blood went cold for a moment

25:34

there. That

25:36

was when I decided I'm way in over

25:39

my head here.

25:42

This is a bad situation. I

25:45

knew that my car was quite far

25:47

from the exit. What

25:50

am I going to do? What is

25:52

my game plan? Am I going to take them on? Am I

25:54

going to go into a shop? I'm

25:57

actually in more trouble than I think I

25:59

am. I

26:02

went to the security table in the middle of the mall. I

26:05

went to the guard that was on duty and I said

26:07

to him, these men

26:09

have been following me. And

26:12

I turned around and they were gone. Which

26:16

men? And I said, no, there were three men following me.

26:19

They've been following me since I finished shopping

26:21

in the supermarket. While

26:24

I was in the supermarket, they were harassing

26:26

the family that was there. It

26:29

felt like a really dangerous situation to

26:31

me.

26:33

Security actually recommended that I give the

26:35

toll number to the supermarket so that they

26:37

could check on the toll camera to see

26:39

if they could pick up who these guys were that were intimidating

26:42

this little girl.

26:44

That was really my main concern. They

26:47

looked like they were going to kidnap the little girl.

26:51

The security guard walked me back to my car.

26:54

I kind of sat in the

26:55

car to gather myself for a couple of seconds and

26:58

I just thought I need to get out of here. I

27:00

felt like a bit of a sitting duck sitting

27:02

in the car park waiting.

27:05

I was shaking. I

27:07

was absolutely terrified.

27:11

I left the mall and just took the long

27:13

way home, drove around, took some

27:16

detours, went

27:19

home and kind of collapsed.

27:23

I've never seen them again. I've

27:25

never seen the family again. I

27:28

stopped going to that mall for a while.

27:32

I think it's quite scary to be a little

27:35

girl and to have two grown men trying

27:37

to grab you the whole time.

27:40

The way that I suspect that it wasn't the first encounter

27:43

in the shops with them. I can imagine

27:45

there's been this build up to it as well. So there's really

27:47

this fear and anxiety, just this

27:50

helplessness. Their

27:54

first objective for that day was to

27:56

try and kidnap the little

27:59

girl.

27:59

They were either going to kidnap the little girl or they

28:02

were going to follow the family home,

28:04

either rob them or then rob them and

28:06

kidnap the little girl. The

28:09

frustration of not being able to get

28:11

the little girls when their focus shifted

28:13

onto me.

28:15

I've definitely saved her from

28:18

something, whether it was being kidnapped

28:20

or traumatized more or groped

28:23

more. When I stepped in,

28:25

it stopped.

28:28

As I ran through the

28:29

story over and over in my head, it

28:31

occurred to me that the whole try to make

28:33

themselves familiar with

28:34

the little girl and insert

28:36

themselves in as these kind of

28:38

subdued, non-threatening

28:41

individuals. It just

28:43

made me think to myself, there's definitely

28:45

some kind of human trafficking thing going on

28:48

here. We

28:50

do have issues of kidnapping and

28:52

child trafficking in our country anyway,

28:54

so it's not like it's unheard of. The

28:58

third guy waiting outside the shop,

29:01

that was definitely

29:02

an indication for me that something more

29:04

nefarious was going on. You'll

29:08

probably find that they would have followed the parents

29:11

to the car,

29:12

built up some kind of rapport on the way. Now

29:15

you've got three

29:16

against two in the parking

29:19

lot. They would have possibly

29:21

just seen what kind of car the parents are driving,

29:23

followed them home. That's also a big thing

29:25

that happens. Your guard is down

29:28

because now you're pulling into

29:29

your driveway and you

29:31

don't know that these guys have followed you home.

29:34

They had nefarious motives, 100%.

29:43

Oh,

29:46

that freaks me out. I hope that never

29:48

happens to me. Oh, here's

29:50

And we're back. My

beautiful Zeylon and I have loved having

31:38

you back with us in the store today. I

31:41

really am over the moon now that...

31:44

Malachi! Malachi, stop muffing

31:46

with that shelf. That's the one Zeylon

31:48

uses to send me her messages. Malachi,

31:51

stop it. You're going to tip it all over.

31:53

Malachi, that shelf is

31:55

my wife. Malachi, no. I'm

31:58

married to that shelf.

31:59

respect. Oh

32:02

my, wait,

32:05

what is that? What? What?

32:08

Oh my god, is that a, is

32:11

that a mouse? Zilon?

32:14

Did you turn into a mouse? Well,

32:18

more likely maybe it wasn't Zilon, it's

32:20

just a rodent. Oh

32:24

god, that

32:26

means last night with

32:28

the unguents and the, and the gloves

32:32

and the, and the patchouli incense

32:35

and the white Russians. Oh,

32:37

those white Russians. Shut

32:40

up Malachi, you don't need to make it weird.

32:42

What? I didn't know I was saying

32:45

those things to a rodent. Get

32:47

it Malachi, get it. Sick them. Fetch.

32:51

Ah, great. Another thing to take care of

32:53

around here, just what I needed. No,

32:55

Malachi, no, no, no. Don't eat

32:58

the mouse. We

33:01

had an incredible connection last night. I,

33:04

I haven't known such transcendent

33:08

sensuality in, in, in

33:11

a decade. Ladies and gentlemen,

33:13

I apologize. It wasn't a ghost.

33:15

After all, it was a mouse. Is

33:18

Zilon still there? Above? Below?

33:20

Somewhere? Watching? Perhaps. Is

33:23

she living in a two bedroom flat

33:25

in Tijuana? Could be. We'll

33:28

never know. The point is... No,

33:31

Malachi, leave it. I don't

33:33

know. I don't know. Maybe it's

33:35

reincarnation. All I know

33:37

for sure is that I climaxed.

33:40

Hard. Good night everybody.

33:42

Thanks for coming by. Hit the lights

33:45

on your way out. Don't

33:47

slip on the massage oil.
