0:28

on a rainy February twenty third

0:30

in Los Angeles. It is the fifth

0:32

anniversary of the disappearance of Adeya

0:34

Shibani. He will get to know

0:36

and admire over the course of this podcast.

0:39

And

0:40

that a day goes by that don't think

0:42

about her. Not

0:44

because I don't know what happened

0:46

to her. You'll find that out.

0:48

It's because of why it happened. After

0:51

the final episode of the series, I

0:53

hope you'll also ask yourself the questions,

0:56

what causes someone to take a life?

0:58

What were they trying to accomplish with this?

1:01

How could they do such a thing to another human

1:03

being who they knew? And why

1:06

such a horrible drastic solution

1:09

to such a

1:09

small, small problem.

1:13

I

1:13

believe there mainly two kinds of people who

1:15

commit premeditated murder.

1:17

Those who kill because they enjoy

1:19

it, and those who kill because

1:21

they're trying to solve a problem.

1:23

And if

1:24

this podcast serves a greater purpose,

1:26

besides bringing closure to those involved

1:28

and helping Adeya's name live on

1:31

like she didn't get chance to, is

1:33

spread message that harming

1:35

somebody else doesn't solve

1:38

any problems. It creates

1:40

much larger ones that will never

1:42

go away. Most pain

1:44

is temporary. Death

1:47

is not. As you listen to

1:49

and discuss this podcast, Please

1:51

be respectful and mindful of the fact

1:53

that these are recent events and

1:55

real people. Some of them

1:57

suffering from a nightmare so horrible

2:00

that they still have difficulty accepting

2:02

that it even happened. The

2:38

2:40

Rolex. You beat me up.

2:43

Everything hurts. Just get out with chocolate.

2:45

I'm not getting out till I get This

2:49

very disturbing recording is

2:51

of twenty five year old Adeya Shibani

2:53

an aspiring actress who moved from E1

2:56

to Hollywood to pursue her dreams

2:58

of becoming as she put it,

3:00

a different kind of star. But

3:03

just three weeks before I'm recording this,

3:05

Adeya Sheibani went missing. Vanished

3:08

without a trace from outside her apartment

3:10

at Hollywood Boulevard right alongside

3:12

the legendary Walk of Fame.

3:15

A young and beautiful woman with

3:17

dreams of making it in Hollywood now

3:19

missing The twenty five year old seen

3:21

in this photo with Kanye West had

3:24

been in LA for less than two years.

3:26

Friends are now desperate for answers

3:28

after she disappeared on Friday. Something

3:31

is going on with

3:32

her. We don't know where she's. It's

3:35

just so sad. We we

3:37

just hoping she's alive. I

3:40

don't know where Adeya is,

3:42

but I have good idea who does. He's

3:45

been on the run since Adeya disappeared. Armed

3:47

with two guns and a metal club.

3:51

Right now, I'm sitting outside

3:53

the apartment where he's believed to be staying and

3:55

it's my turn to front him. I'm

3:58

alone. I'm not armed.

4:01

I've never been out of fight in my life. And

4:04

I'm regretting this.

4:33

Chapter one, the call.

4:37

And I remember it's like buckling in. I'm

4:39

like looking down at the pipe.

4:41

And I'm like, I don't know.

4:44

I could just see I literally can see the

4:46

run unfolding. I'm like, wow.

4:48

I'm gonna hit this

4:48

wall. I'm gonna travel this far. I'm like looking

4:51

at it. And everything got really

4:53

still. The voice you hear is that of

4:55

Snowboarder, Sean White. We're

4:57

in the offices of his talent E1,

4:59

I'm interviewing him about his Olympic win.

5:02

On the table, rests his Olympic gold medal.

5:05

At this exact moment, just five

5:07

miles away on Hollywood Boulevard, IDEA

5:10

Sheibani is disappearing, possibly

5:12

even worse. And here I am

5:14

freaking out over a tiny piece of

5:16

metal. So this landed perfect. And I'm

5:18

like, this is it. I got you can do this.

5:20

And I just gave it a little more than

5:22

normal. And then I ride it away like, holy

5:26

I'm

5:26

gonna win the Olympics. It's over.

5:29

But this is my job. Rolling Stone

5:31

assigns me to do things like ride motorcycles

5:34

with Tom Cruise or go to rocket factories

5:36

with Elon Musk or shop for Pampers

5:38

with Snoop

5:39

Dogg. And then I ride about what it's

5:41

like hanging out with

5:42

him. But what I don't

5:44

do is investigating crime

5:46

and hard news and missing people.

5:49

At least I didn't. Not until

5:51

I received. This call. So

5:55

I wanted to ask you question about this in the case

5:57

that I'm working. Yeah. So I don't know. You might have

5:59

seen it in the in the

6:01

news. I I don't know. But, you know, it's

6:03

another missing person's case. Her name is Adeya

6:05

Sheavani. She's a girl

6:07

from Macedonia. She's been here.

6:11

Like, for about eighteen months hired

6:13

by her family. She

6:15

lives in Hollywood. Anyway,

6:18

she was last seen on

6:20

Friday. And, you

6:22

know, with with with this Friday or the Friday,

6:25

like, the week before. No.

6:28

This Friday. Okay. Yeah.

6:31

Wow.

6:34

That's Jaden Brand.

6:36

I'm not sure how to best introduce Jaden

6:38

because our relationship is a little odd.

6:41

About a year earlier, a twenty

6:43

year old student went missing in my neighborhood in

6:45

Malibu, California. And as a community

6:47

member, I volunteered to help find

6:49

her. Jaden, a

6:51

former police detective who's now a highly

6:54

in demand private investigator, was

6:56

working with a family of that missing student in

6:58

Malibu. And I guess as a new

7:00

father, I felt the need to help the missing

7:02

woman's family, and also

7:04

just make sure our community was safe.

7:07

So I began reaching out to Jaden. Probably

7:10

initially as a pest. But eventually,

7:13

he began calling me for advice. So

7:16

this call was another one of those

7:18

conversations. It just happened

7:20

to be about a new case.

7:22

Basically, at this point, I mean, we have no

7:24

leads, no suspects. We do know

7:26

that she was blast seen on some video

7:29

surveillance in Hollywood,

7:31

got right near her apartment around eleven AM. She

7:35

had last communication with

7:37

friends at around

7:39

two two thirty. We know her apartment

7:41

door was left unlocked. The real

7:43

odd thing is that there appears to be some

7:46

usage on her computer that

7:48

night, but no phone

7:50

activity, no communication with

7:52

anybody. But

7:53

As Jaden spoke,

7:55

I looked through a day of social media. I

7:56

don't know. It is, in a word, glamorous.

8:00

Their professional modeling shots exotic

8:03

European beach vacations, and

8:05

pictures on the red carpet at premieres and

8:07

events. In short,

8:09

it looks like a Hollywood dream. And

8:12

many of the inspirational quotes underneath the

8:14

images are also about dreams,

8:17

such as this one from Michael Gambon. Dreamy

8:20

kids become

8:21

actors. Don't they? I

8:24

don't know. I mean, we're trying to get some press going

8:26

on it. I don't know if it's, you know, some of you're

8:28

interested in, maybe write a story for Rolling

8:30

Stone or, you know, it's one of those

8:33

compelling cases. I mean, she's young. She's

8:35

a beautiful aspiring actress. Know,

8:37

I think it could be a good case. I mean, obviously,

8:40

you were open minded. I don't know what

8:42

he thought.

8:44

I told him I'd think about it. And to

8:46

keep me in the loop.

8:53

We found these flyers at several businesses

8:55

here at Hollywood and Wilcox where police

8:58

say she was a last

8:59

scene. Her name is A Daya. A

9:01

Daya Sheibani. Beautiful inside

9:03

and out say her close friends who

9:05

also say their worried sick over

9:08

the twenty five year

9:08

old. She's been missing since the morning of February

9:11

the twenty third. That's when she went to the Rise

9:13

and Grind coffee shop and vanished.

9:15

There's absolutely no evidence that she

9:17

is a voluntary

9:18

missing, that she's a runaway. Jaden Brand

9:20

is the private investigator hired by the Shivani

9:23

family to try and find Adeya.

9:25

The twenty five year old's mother flew into

9:27

town from the Republic of E1 a

9:29

couple of days

9:30

ago. Now there's nothing yet to indicate foul

9:32

play, but friends suspected E1

9:36

is being held against her will. As

9:39

time continued to pass, she's been

9:41

gone for more than a week with

9:43

no leads and no

9:45

developments. It's been eleven days since anyone

9:47

has seen or heard from a day of she body.

9:50

Initial press coverage started to

9:51

fade. No one has actually seen her

9:54

in almost two weeks. The

9:56

police had very strangely asked the family

9:58

not to do any interviews, so

10:00

they'd spoken to no one and frustration

10:03

was mounting. It's

10:05

just another case. And then he has

10:07

died down. Yeah. He does notice,

10:09

like, if the knee comes back, it puts pressure

10:12

on leaks, because they were much

10:14

more active and gauging

10:16

doing shit when

10:18

it was all over the night. As

10:21

Jaden went on describing the family's

10:23

plight, I wondered to myself

10:25

why I hadn't gotten involved yet felt

10:28

like one of those people who sees a car crash and

10:30

just rubber necks and hold up the traffic.

10:33

Maybe there was something I could do out.

10:37

Maybe, unlike the Malibu disappearance,

10:40

if I really started reporting on this

10:42

for an article or a piece or a

10:44

podcast, I could make

10:46

a difference for this family. Little

10:49

did I know that this small conversation

10:52

would soon turn into a serious commitment

10:54

that would put me and my family

10:57

at risk. In

10:59

fact, I've recently been told

11:01

that I release this podcast, quote,

11:04

bad things are going to happen

11:06

to me in a sense

11:08

of a threat on my life or my

11:10

safety or that of my family.

11:15

I've decided E1 to go ahead

11:17

and release this I wish I

11:19

could give you a good reason as to why I've made

11:21

that decision. But I've discussed

11:23

it with my family, and I suppose

11:25

it's that if someone is threatening your life

11:28

to stop you from doing something. It's

11:30

a good sign that you're pretty close

11:32

to the truth.

12:10

two, zest for

12:12

life. This

12:20

is a I am Neil. Hey, nice to

12:22

meet you. And this is Alex who works with me.

12:25

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for taking the time. I could

12:26

give you some confidence. I'll I'll

12:28

get I can get you something, Chris. I'm

12:31

at the Rise and Grind coffee shop on

12:33

Hollywood Boulevard. It's the last

12:35

place Adeya Shibani was seen, and

12:37

I'm meeting her mother Nora for first time.

12:40

And formally, I suppose, beginning

12:42

this investigation. Just

12:44

one day has passed since I told

12:46

Jade and I'd get involved, It is trying

12:48

to get me caught up to speed as quickly

12:50

as possible, which means speaking directly

12:53

with Adeya's family and friends.

12:56

Thanks for joining. Yeah. So we'll be here

12:58

in the apartment. think what we'll do is

13:00

we'll just stop the

13:01

apartment. I definitely not hear his it's too

13:03

loud. Yes. It's too loud. Together,

13:05

we walk back to Adeya's apartment to speak.

13:07

I'm nervous because I don't know

13:09

what to say to someone who's in Nora's position.

13:12

With so much fear and sadness and

13:14

uncertainty about her child. Especially

13:17

since just a few days earlier, it

13:19

was a day as twenty sixth birthday.

13:21

And her loved ones didn't have their friend,

13:24

their classmates, their daughter to

13:26

celebrate with. That's

13:33

correct.

13:35

So what's her flowers? Because this is her

13:37

birthday on Friday. Officer

13:39

for that Friday. Yeah. And also when we came

13:41

into their apartment with flowers, because

13:44

show is vice versa. Right? Yeah.

13:46

And they bought them together with them, but

13:48

I don't know which day Thursday or Wednesday.

13:55

We sit down at a small breakfast table,

13:57

and

13:58

Adeya's mother begins the first interview

14:00

she's ever done about her daughter. You

14:03

you've been staying you've been staying in a day as apartment?

14:06

No. Yes. And it's

14:08

difficult, really difficult. I'm not

14:10

from here. So it's it

14:12

feels kind of weird. I'm

14:15

going through her stuff. I'm staying

14:19

in her room, feeling her energy, feeling

14:21

her smells every day,

14:23

but she's not around. And

14:26

she wanted me to come here as desperately.

14:29

She invited me so many times. And

14:32

now, I mean, I'm here and

14:34

she's not around. I mean, it's such a difficult

14:36

situation. For me,

14:38

it's a it's a nightmare. Probably

14:41

should probably want you

14:42

here, probably

14:43

wants you here, not not somewhere else anyway,

14:45

to be close. We are very,

14:47

very connected there. I

14:50

mean, I

14:52

know she somehow knows

14:54

that I'm here. I'm

14:57

convinced that I'm the only person

14:59

she wants to see now.

15:06

It's uncanny to look at Nora. Her

15:09

face, her lips, even her gestures

15:11

are almost exactly like what I've seen of Adeyas.

15:14

She moves with a solitude, a mournfulness

15:17

around the studio apartment. Occasionally,

15:20

she goes to the window to smoke a cigarette, and

15:23

she looks forelearnly over the dirty and desperate

15:25

streets of Hollywood. It's

15:27

warm inside, but Nora's wearing a

15:29

sweater and a jacket that she doesn't take

15:31

off. There's a poster

15:33

of Leonardo De Caprio and Wolf of Wall Street

15:35

on the wall. There's several photos of

15:37

Justin Bieber scattered

15:39

around the bed. And Nora takes

15:41

special care to show me the positive

15:43

inspirational slogans that are emblazoned

15:45

on everything from photo frames to

15:47

paper waste on a day's desk. But

15:50

most notable is a whiteboard above

15:52

the bed on which Adeya has written phrases

15:55

like, the source of all creation is my

15:57

role model. And then

15:59

below that, she's written just

16:01

three words in black marker, zest

16:04

for life. So what

16:14

is from very early on. She had

16:16

this passion for being

16:18

on the stage for expressing herself,

16:21

for reaching out beyond personal

16:24

community beyond borders. I

16:27

mean, if you look at her diaries,

16:29

recently we were moving and we found her

16:31

diary from very

16:34

young age. She would she was

16:36

drawing she was

16:38

writing,

16:39

like, I want to be a star. I want to

16:41

be in Even this picture

16:44

here that you got from E1

16:46

you came

16:47

up, I am born to be a star. I'm going to be

16:48

a star. going to be a star. Okay.

16:51

Yeah. Know it's an Instagram too.

16:53

She there was a picture of her next to like a artwork where

16:55

it said something like, you know, be a

16:57

star in different way or I'm gonna be a

16:59

different star. Outside

17:01

of Day's apartment is the legendary Hollywood

17:04

Walk of Fame. The famous landmark

17:06

with the names of A List celebrities pressed

17:08

into the coral pink stars on the

17:10

sidewalk. This, of course,

17:12

was a place where a day it wanted her name to

17:14

be one day. She was feeling so

17:16

great. She was basically walking

17:22

on the street, and she would put the camera

17:25

on. And I feel so great,

17:27

ma'am. I want to see I want you to come

17:29

here. We have to make sure that you

17:32

transfer and you work in the U. S. So there

17:34

we are close together because this is where

17:37

I found happiness

17:38

she really found herself.

17:40

And then suddenly, just after

17:42

a day I booked her first role in a Macedonian

17:45

animated film, she disappeared. Adaire's

17:48

mom and I speak about Adaire's childhood

17:50

in Macedonia, her education at

17:52

the American University in Paris, and

17:55

her job at a jewelry store in Dubai where

17:57

she decided that regular nine to five work

17:59

was not the life she wanted. I

18:01

asked Nora what her theories are on Adeya's disappearance.

18:04

And she suggests that I speak to the

18:06

last person known to have seen

18:07

Adeya, her friend, Emma.

18:11

Every day's passing by your hotel,

18:13

but I'm really hoping she's still alive.

18:15

I'm really it's it's too

18:17

bad to to, you

18:20

know, She's

18:22

only twenty five. So,

18:23

yeah, her leg is in front of her waist.

18:25

Yep. Somewhere at the beginning.

18:28

Emma is tall and thin with a

18:30

strong jaw, a chiseled face,

18:33

and long jet black hair. She's

18:35

wearing bracelets which you may hear jingling

18:37

during the interview, along with music

18:39

leaking through the paper thin walls of this Hollywood

18:42

apartment complex. This

18:44

is a building designed specifically for

18:46

Hollywood hopefuls. In the lobby,

18:48

there's a picture of the Hollywood sign, And

18:51

nearby, there are large neon letters

18:53

that read. You've arrived. A

18:56

message to all those who drive and fly

18:58

into the city of dreams from small towns

19:00

around the

19:00

world. Emma recalls

19:02

the exact moment she knew something

19:04

was wrong. How I found out that there

19:06

is missing was this guy,

19:09

Lisciano, who is a common friend of

19:11

me and there. So I called her.

19:13

The phone was off. I'll let

19:15

it go, but E1 told me

19:18

then Saturday, which was the twenty

19:21

fourth of February, and he said

19:23

No, Emma, she is not answering. So

19:27

I just started running from

19:29

my place to her to the

19:30

building. So I can knock on the door. Emma

19:33

drove to a day's apartment, contacted

19:35

the building manager and explained the situation.

19:38

But the manager wouldn't let Emma

19:40

up to a day's apartment, no matter how much

19:42

she pleaded. Eventually, Adeya's

19:44

friends had to contact the police to do a welfare

19:47

check. And not only was Adeya

19:49

not there, but the door was left

19:51

unlocked, which they found very

19:53

suspicious and very unlikedaya.

19:56

And then big contact with

19:58

the mom The month

20:00

that goes to the police and report that she's

20:02

missing.

20:03

Adeya's friend Angel continues the story.

20:05

Angel runs company called

20:07

the Huca guys. And what they do is

20:09

they set up mobile HUKA lounges at clubs.

20:12

Anadaya, along with Emma,

20:14

were working as basically volunteer hostesses

20:17

at his

20:17

Hukonites. So

20:20

we go in on Monday. We spoke

20:22

to the detectives. They

20:24

seemed to, like, you know, take whatever information

20:27

that they had or whatever. It

20:29

didn't seem like they were about to do anything.

20:32

So we went out as a matter fact, they called us

20:34

and they they called the the Liz John,

20:36

the president of father report and said that you shouldn't

20:39

go down to the police station because you guys

20:41

are just you're

20:43

you're there for nothing. You know, don't don't come down

20:46

to the police station. Our officers have

20:48

other things to do.

20:50

It's hard to believe that you could have a friend

20:52

go missing under suspicious circumstances

20:56

with their door literally left unlocked.

20:58

And the police would tell you that they have

21:01

better things to do than go search

21:03

for your friend. I

21:06

was shocked to hear this from a judge and

21:08

asked him how this could be possible.

21:11

But

21:11

they're not looking, and I I think I had that conversation

21:13

with one of one of the detectives when he said,

21:15

well, you know, we wanna find find her,

21:17

you know, do you not trust that we wanna find her? And

21:19

I said, no, I I don't trust that you wanna find her.

21:21

I trust that you wanna build a

21:22

case. Right. That's more important than you, then

21:24

whether she's a liar or or, you

21:26

know, possibly done. All

21:29

these interviews have taken place in Adeya's apartment.

21:32

As we leave, I tell Jaden

21:34

that it seems like her friends are holding back with

21:36

me a moment. Like, they know

21:38

something more than they're comfortable sharing right

21:40

now. There are a lot

21:42

of, like, questions. Yes. You got

21:44

all the information, Zach. Got it.

21:45

It's all, like, It's also, like,

21:47

best of their knowledge. Got it. Got it.

21:50

He tells me there's another person I should talk

21:52

to. An ex boyfriend of Adeis,

21:55

who probably has more information on her than

21:57

anyone else. This is because,

22:00

for some reason, her cell phone

22:02

bill is in his name. And

22:04

in addition, his name is on the

22:06

lease to our apartment, although he never

22:08

actually lived there. And

22:10

this guy has a lot of

22:12

facts I've been looking for. He's

22:14

an odd, fast talking and very intense

22:16

European who's asked to remain anonymous

22:19

for reasons that will soon become clear. So

22:21

for the purposes of this podcast, we'll

22:23

call him Ivan. I've recreated

22:26

Ivan's side of the conversation here.

22:28

I have all the information from T Mobile

22:30

and WhatsApp. The last data on the phone

22:33

was

22:34

twelve fifty. I called in to the

22:36

bill from T Mobile. Okay. Because you have you

22:38

have her phone

22:38

bill so you can see the data. Yes.

22:41

The phone bill is in my name. I

22:43

took a screenshot and I sent

22:45

it to the police

22:46

too. I'm I'm gonna Are

22:47

you I'm gonna text are you on WhatsApp? If I text

22:49

you on WhatsApp, I'd love to see that. Yeah. Yeah.

22:51

You can text me on WhatsApp, and I'll

22:54

send you the screenshot from T Mobile.

22:56

The data and of the

22:58

last text she sent.

23:01

Ivan explains that not only does

23:03

he have all of data's cell phone data,

23:05

but he's managed to have hacker, cracker

23:07

iCloud, and get her crucial last

23:10

messages on text and

23:12

on WhatsApp. He

23:14

shared with police the message that I'm

23:16

about to share with you now. However,

23:19

and this is worth noting, he has not

23:21

shared a day as full out account

23:23

and text message logs with Jaden,

23:26

the private investigator. It

23:29

seems a bit weird to me that her

23:31

ex boyfriend is the gatekeeper

23:34

of all her personal information. The

23:38

text was sent to a friend from acting class

23:40

named E1, just forty eight minutes

23:43

before Adeya's phone shut off for good.

23:45

And Adeya made a very strange request.

23:48

She wrote, baby, do

23:50

you know where I can buy candles, red

23:53

ones? And that was the last

23:55

time Adeya Shibani communicated with

23:57

anyone. It

24:00

remains unclear just why she

24:02

was asking for red candles minutes before

24:04

she disappeared and whether that's an

24:06

innocent question or a significant

24:09

clue.

24:11

Yeah. So we're in a day as department right now, and

24:13

we're leaving, and hey, thank you, Daya, for

24:15

sharing your

24:16

family, your friends with us, and hopefully,

24:18

we can find you or E1 of good

24:20

or of service.

24:21

Yeah. Everything. Yeah. The key.

24:30

At home that night, I review the only

24:32

facts I've been able to gather so far. One,

24:36

Adeya Shibani was last seen on February

24:38

twenty third twenty eighteen. Two,

24:41

the last place she was seen with her local

24:44

coffee shop, Rise and Grind. Three.

24:47

At twelve twenty one PM, According

24:49

to data retrieved by Ivan from Adeya's Google

24:51

account. Her YouTube search history

24:54

shows her listen to music by Coldplay, Beyonce,

24:57

M and M, And then at twelve forty

24:59

eight PM, she does her last search

25:01

and listens to her final song. God's

25:04

plan by Drake. Four,

25:07

The last time her phone was in use transmitting

25:09

data, it appears to have been immediately afterward

25:12

at twelve fifty that afternoon. I've

25:14

gotten a couple of other times from people,

25:17

but this is what the data from Ivan actually

25:19

says. Five. According

25:22

to another screenshot that Ivan sends me,

25:24

her computer shows that it was powered on and

25:26

her Chrome browser used from inside

25:28

her apartment at 108

25:30

AM that night. So that's over twelve

25:32

hours after her phone went out of mission.

25:35

Six, the front door of a apartment

25:37

was found unlocked, which is unlike Aidea,

25:40

though there were no signs of struggle inside the apartment.

25:43

Seven, and most bizarre of all,

25:45

her last text was asking about where to get

25:48

red candles. It's

25:51

a lot of information but it really doesn't

25:53

point toward any specific direction or

25:56

to any theory whatsoever. So

25:59

far, The only suspicious person I've

26:01

spoken to is her ex boyfriend Ivan,

26:04

but it turns out he was in Europe at the

26:06

time of her disappearance.

26:08

It almost seems as if someone stashed

26:10

Shaddeya right out of her apartment.

26:12

But I

26:13

asked Jaden about that, and there weren't any

26:15

signs of a struggle. However,

26:18

that night, as I'm going through all my interviews,

26:22

I get this

26:24

call.

26:28

Hey. I just wanted to give you an update just got

26:30

a call from Angel. He's got a call that

26:32

came in on his cell phone, which was

26:35

it's like sort of acting as the de facto tip

26:37

line until we get ours up and get the new b

26:39

d out. But basically, You had

26:41

a call from a guy anonymous, didn't

26:43

leave a name, you know, a block

26:46

number saying that teethaw

26:48

and Dea, and

26:51

she was being, like, put into

26:55

the bed of a pickup truck out

26:57

in front of her apartment. She

27:01

he said that she was, like, out of the

27:03

like, the implication was, like, maybe, drugged,

27:06

and then the truck took off and drove south

27:08

down to Hollywood Boulevard. He

27:11

gives us a description of the truck and

27:14

he even has the plate number.

27:22

Coming up on season one of

27:24

to live and die in LA. Alright.

27:27

And my car man I I don't do

27:29

this. I'm I'm I'm terrified.

27:31

So a mystery, what happened to twenty five

27:33

year old Adia Sheibani, an aspiring

27:35

actress and model who went missing February

27:37

twenty

27:38

third. Now a twist and

27:40

the bed had been stabbed several

27:42

times and there was a huge

27:45

knife left in my bed. He wasn't

27:47

he was panicking life. Every

27:49

second word, he was telling me, shit. Shit.

27:51

Shit. I don't know. Don't know. I'm like, how do you know

27:54

when was the last time you saw

27:55

her? And what did she say?

27:58

You saw something. It it's deeper

28:00

than I've ever even ever though. Well, I mean,

28:02

just think about it. If you have if if if the bullet

28:04

is exiting this window well, first of all, nobody

28:06

shoots themselves

28:08

for times. They've

28:10

touched our apartment. They've touched

28:13

his first father's place and

28:15

second Menno. They showed up in

28:16

Colorado. He said, I'm gonna tie

28:19

this is talking about you and again. Please keep this between

28:21

us. Okay? Yeah. He said, I'm gonna

28:23

go back

28:23

back, we're gonna tie him up, and we're

28:25

a torture, we're gonna find a worry, put a day at even

28:27

if we have to kill him. You get a

28:30

sense that you have a person who is about

28:32

the law. And can do

28:34

anything to to play with all of

28:36

us. I got one last important

28:38

question. How worried do I have to

28:40

be if we don't work things out and

28:42

I do this physically.

28:45

I I don't know. Girls

28:50

go missing from LA every single

28:52

fucking day.

28:58

Tiffany Hill was murdered by her estranged

31:14

husband in two thousand nineteen, her

31:17

local community stepped in to

31:19

say, never again. She's

31:21

trying to pass a bill on domestic violence,

31:24

and she had asked us to testify Right?

31:27

There was five of us that

31:29

said, Yep. Absolutely. We'll testify. We'll

31:31

tell her story. And when Vincent Chen

31:34

was beaten today, In a racially motivated

31:36

attack in nineteen eighty two, a

31:38

new human rights frontier began.

31:41

Our system failed us. We
