to Hands Off My Podcast.

1:16

In this episode, we will be discussing the mysterious

1:18

disappearance of Bianca Zanette Carrasco.

1:22

A 29-year-old nurse and mother of three,

1:25

Bianca was last seen on May 1st, 2016

1:27

at her home in

1:29

San Antonio, Texas. Bianca

1:33

was determined to start fresh and even purchased

1:36

a new phone that her husband

1:38

could not access. She

1:40

was also dating a new man, symbolizing

1:42

her commitment to moving forward.

1:45

However, despite her

1:47

efforts, Bianca disappeared without

1:49

a trace. Her car was

1:51

found at their home, and there

1:53

have been known signs of activity on

1:56

her new phone or credit card since

1:58

that faithful day.

2:00

This is Bianca's Story. Today

2:14

I had the honor of speaking with Bianca's sister,

2:16

Giovanna, and her close friend,

2:19

Rosa. They will

2:21

show their personal experiences and the tireless

2:23

efforts they have made to find

2:25

Bianca. We hope that

2:28

by discussing her case, we

2:30

can raise awareness and potentially gather

2:32

new information that

2:34

could help solve the mystery surrounding her disappearance.

2:38

Bianca Zanett Carrasco

2:41

was a remarkable woman who had faced

2:43

various challenges throughout her life.

2:46

Despite the difficulty she encountered, Bianca

2:49

managed to become a dedicated nurse and

2:51

a loving mother of three children. At

2:54

just 17 years old, Bianca

2:57

made the heart-wrenching decision.

2:59

We didn't grow up like

3:03

it was an easy childhood, you

3:05

know.

3:08

Bianca grew up with her,

3:10

like we grew up with her mother. I think

3:13

she was in third grade, second, third

3:15

grade, so that would be what? Eight

3:20

or nine years old. Our mother sent

3:23

her

3:23

to our biological father.

3:27

I ended up following

3:29

a little bit after, but after

3:32

that it wasn't

3:34

really easy. It's never been

3:36

easy for us childhood-wise.

3:40

When we got into teenage

3:43

years, it

3:45

started to get really hard, just trying to cope

3:47

with everything. She

3:49

got a little bit rebellious, and

3:51

I say a little bit, she got rebellious. She

3:55

actually has a baby, or she's not a baby.

4:00

anymore. She's a big girl now but

4:02

our father made her give a baby up

4:04

for adoption right when she

4:06

was turning 17.

4:07

So there's

4:09

a lot of stories within that big story but

4:11

it's just a plot.

4:15

I know, what about Rosa? You can

4:17

help like because I yeah I've

4:20

shared a lot with Rosa. I've been really open. I

4:22

know Bianca has too. Whenever

4:25

you come from like a rough background

4:28

it's not like you don't know where to start. It's you

4:30

know. It's

4:32

hard for me to talk about it and it was

4:34

in

4:36

a situation that I

4:38

went through but

4:40

you know being her friend

4:42

and her telling me

4:45

you

4:45

know about everything in

4:48

her past and opening up about it

4:50

especially the

4:51

type of the baby that

4:54

you know her daughter that she had to give up

4:56

for adoption like that. That was

4:58

really really hard for her

5:00

to talk about for her to deal with

5:03

up until like up until

5:05

the week before she went missing.

5:07

Yeah

5:07

because see I went to go

5:09

visit her in March

5:13

two months before she went missing.

5:15

I was down there for spring break with her

5:18

and I mean you

5:20

know she was telling me stories about her

5:23

then

5:24

and in it you know because

5:26

she of course now how did she turn 18

5:28

this year? I think she's 19.

5:32

Yeah 19. Yeah 19

5:35

the first of July. So

5:37

I mean just her being

5:40

getting older getting to an age to

5:42

where she she wanted to have that

5:44

opportunity to reach out

5:47

to let her know like you know

5:49

who she is how she can contact

5:51

her. She wanted that relationship

5:54

so that that was a tough

5:56

conversation to deal with you

5:58

know it was a hard topic. her, which

6:02

I felt like had a lot to do with life

6:05

in general or her. Yeah,

6:08

I

6:08

agree.

6:11

Soon after,

6:13

she entered into marriage with Daniel,

6:15

a

6:16

man over 10 years older than her and

6:18

also her aunt's ex-husband.

6:21

Together, they had two children

6:23

right away and later welcomed

6:26

a third when Bianca turned 25.

6:30

Again, why I wanted to have Rosa on this one

6:32

is that for me, and maybe

6:35

this will help you in the interview,

6:37

is that obviously

6:39

it's been seven years and she is

6:41

still no trace,

6:44

no nothing. And

6:46

there's a lot of judgment, a lot of stories,

6:48

speculations, all these things. For

6:51

me, in the beginning when she went missing,

6:53

it was really hard because you don't know

6:56

what to say or what not to say. And

6:59

you're looking out for, you

7:01

don't want to hurt people saying

7:04

things or even hurting her.

7:07

I wanted to protect her. But

7:09

it's gotten to the point where it's like,

7:12

I don't know what God's will is in

7:14

this. But

7:18

what I do know is that she

7:20

still has a story

7:22

to tell. There's still

7:25

a lot of things leading up to her disappearance

7:27

that if we can share

7:30

who she was, why

7:32

she was that way, the beautiful

7:34

things that she overcome, and

7:37

the things that she accomplished that it really

7:39

could help other people and really

7:43

show empathy, show examples of

7:45

ways to

7:48

be empathetic, you know.

7:59

as a registered nurse at

8:01

an oncologist's office.

8:03

Following her graduation, Bianca made

8:05

the decision to end her marriage and immediately updated

8:08

her Facebook profile to reflect this

8:10

change. How would you describe

8:12

Bianca's personality? Hilarious.

8:15

So

8:18

funny.

8:20

Yes, funny,

8:22

sassy. Yeah,

8:24

she was blunt, but like she was also very,

8:27

I think from my perspective,

8:29

because I'm the bigger sister, like

8:33

she, it's

8:36

like she, she

8:38

would say these things, you know,

8:40

that she was, she was like blunt. But

8:43

it was like, she was also

8:45

so enduring

8:48

and nurturing

8:51

and sweet all at the same time. Like

8:54

she was super compassionate. And so she

8:57

would tell her close people exactly

9:00

what she was thinking, you know, and

9:03

then you would be saying,

9:05

but then she was,

9:06

she was so loving. She was such

9:11

a

9:14

loving person.

9:17

My favorite thing that she would always tell

9:19

me is like, you better pump your

9:21

brakes. Like, that's

9:23

how you knew like, she was

9:25

like, don't go

9:27

there no more.

9:29

Yeah. But

9:31

it was always

9:33

laughing,

9:35

you know, especially like with our kids, because

9:37

our, our kids were somewhat

9:40

close in age.

9:42

So

9:44

watching them, you know, be

9:47

together, we'd laugh, we'd, you know, play with

9:48

the kids. Everybody

9:52

loved music, dance. So that's

9:55

what our kids would do, you know,

9:58

and so was that. Just

10:00

fun everything about Bianca was

10:02

fun

10:04

And for us we had just we just had more history

10:06

because she's my sister.

10:07

So I

10:09

Mean at any

10:11

point we could like

10:13

which this is why I love Rosa is that

10:15

I can talk to her for hours You

10:18

know about life

10:22

And it's the same on

10:25

gut that I can just

10:27

talk to her for

10:28

hours And

10:31

It wasn't it was all

10:34

kinds of different things and deep things

10:38

and Then

10:40

when we say she's hilarious, it was like a It

10:44

was oh, she was like morbidly

10:47

Funny so it was

10:49

we always like make the joke was like it was

10:51

from her traumatic childhood But

10:54

it was comforting, you know

10:58

Like it's just

11:00

Makes a little bit and Bianca

11:02

was oh

11:03

But she made it like

11:06

so like Bianca don't joke

11:08

like that.

11:09

Please it was so bad. I'm

11:11

telling you

11:13

It was so bad that

11:16

That Friday be prepared

11:18

what I'm about to say that Friday

11:21

before she went missing she

11:23

made the

11:25

Made the joke to her co-workers

11:26

and said hey if I

11:29

go missing You know what happened

11:31

to me And

11:34

she probably meant it in

11:36

a way she But she's that's

11:39

how she joked like she Put

11:41

a

11:41

smile on her face or she was

11:43

trying to he would like cry sometime

11:46

and then she was like wow like

11:48

just trying to

11:51

You know grasp

11:53

the situation that's ahead of

11:55

her possibly Yeah

11:58

Wow

12:00

Wow, yeah, I

12:03

Know like the

12:05

joke that I make now is like I

12:08

know there's no way like

12:12

All the crying I've done since she's

12:14

been missing. She would not be okay with

12:17

at all because Definitely

12:20

be like I was the big sister

12:22

and it was like if somebody made

12:24

me cry

12:26

Um No,

12:28

like then she knew something was up. You're

12:30

not gonna make my big sister cry because

12:33

She's a big sister. And if you made her

12:35

cry, that means he did something

12:36

really bad and I'm not okay with

12:38

that You know

12:41

Yeah, she was very loyal

12:43

and very protective over the

12:45

people that she was

12:47

That's when I feel like that's when her nursing

12:50

came in. Yeah, she was so

12:53

Protective and caring and I

12:56

mean it's something her like I don't

12:58

even think I went to the doctor Having

13:01

Bianca like I would just

13:03

call Bianca and tell her

13:05

She was definitely my go-to

13:08

nurse for everything Everything's

13:11

great

13:13

anything Which

13:16

is why it's kind of hard I

13:18

went I

13:19

Don't know like I became a grandma

13:21

at a very young age

13:22

my baby young and I

13:26

told you wanna like I think

13:28

That's why it was so hard for

13:30

me dealing with the situation.

13:33

Like I literally went through a really

13:35

bad

13:36

depression Because I

13:38

felt like the one person that I needed

13:41

I didn't have I

13:42

couldn't go to

13:44

her for

13:47

my questions and I Cuz

13:49

I know she would have made it okay

13:51

from the get-go because she was in like Rosa like

13:54

Stop it. Like this is happening

13:57

for a reason and you

13:59

know know, she would get real aggressive

14:02

when she

14:02

wanted to get through to you. Like, no,

14:06

like, you're not going to, you know, like, as

14:08

much as I could hear her saying it, it still

14:10

wasn't easy. It was hard. It was hard to

14:12

deal with.

14:14

But

14:16

I mean, I'm so thankful for Jovana because I

14:18

feel like I have a piece of my Bianca still

14:21

with Jovana. Like, she talks

14:23

like Bianca. I feel like her

14:25

and Bianca sound so much

14:27

alike, especially when she laughs,

14:29

like they laugh the

14:32

same. I'm not going to allow

14:34

you to do podcasts with me anymore. Sorry.

14:39

Well, I believe Rosa

14:41

is completely truthful in regards to,

14:44

you know, having a piece

14:46

of Bianca. It makes

14:48

a lot of sense to have that

14:50

comfort in a situation

14:53

like that. Thank

14:55

you for sharing that story, Rosa.

15:11

Everything is better. Everything

15:14

is better in pink. Yeah.

15:16

Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

15:19

That was her color. Yeah.

15:25

Everything was pink. And then she

15:29

liked, Rosa, you sent me a text

15:31

for us to reply, but it was Zane.

15:33

But we had certain

15:35

songs

15:36

that always reminded

15:38

each other of each other,

15:41

just like from growing up or

15:44

like, it's

15:46

silly. Remember, what

15:49

was La Diferencia? Oh,

15:51

my God. La Diferencia.

15:54

One of their whole albums, like, and

15:57

we don't speak Spanish. That's the funny part.

16:00

That's

16:00

the funny part, but growing up,

16:02

we always

16:03

remembered it together. And

16:07

so there were certain songs like that.

16:09

And, you know, she was so

16:11

funny. She was really funny.

16:14

Mine is what made you

16:17

beautiful from One Direction. Do you remember that

16:19

one? That

16:21

part when it's like,

16:23

you're insecure, still

16:24

know what's cool. And like, you flip

16:26

the hair, like she can flip her hair. And

16:31

that's what we talked about to you when I was down there for Spring

16:33

Break. She's like, you have to come

16:35

back in August to go with me to Zane's

16:38

concert. Zane.

16:41

She loves Zane from One Direction.

16:44

Yeah.

16:45

We have our own type of country music. We

16:48

have our own kind

16:49

of Spanish music. So the Jano

16:51

music is Spanish,

16:54

Texas music. It's not just

16:56

Spanish music. And it's like, it's

16:59

like, it's not Spanish, not Spanish. Right.

17:02

And country, it's like, it's not regular

17:04

country. It's Texas country.

17:07

Yes. So like, for me

17:09

and like, you know, it was like those old

17:12

school Tejano

17:14

music that you grew up with around

17:16

your family, the family that you heard.

17:20

You know, maybe we wouldn't make

17:22

jokes because we didn't understand what they were saying

17:24

or the music. Like

17:27

she was funny because she would make like these

17:29

dance moves just to like.

17:34

She did love to dance.

17:37

Yes.

17:38

No, but when you put

17:40

Norteño on, she'd be like. Say

17:45

who? The

17:47

school. The chicken dance. The

17:50

chicken dance. It

17:52

sounds like you have to do the chicken dance. Yeah.

17:56

She loved to dance. She really did.

17:59

I'm the same way. I don't

18:01

see anything. It's

18:04

funny.

18:07

We'd be in the car with Bianca and we'd be

18:09

dancing. I'm telling you, especially to the one direction.

18:13

So that

18:15

was our jam.

18:19

As time went on, Bianca started branching

18:21

out and making new friends outside of the

18:24

life with Daniel.

18:26

The strain in the relationship led to discussions

18:28

of divorce. On May 1,

18:32

2016, during an afternoon conversation with her sister,

18:34

Travana, Bianca expressed

18:36

her determination to seek legal

18:39

advice with hopes of gaining custody of

18:41

her children.

18:42

I think about when she got pregnant

18:44

in high school. That

18:47

was so

18:49

shocking to me because we were

18:52

so close.

18:55

I had no idea

18:58

what

18:59

she was doing. She was skipping

19:01

school and all that.

19:02

I had no idea. If

19:06

Bianca was going to do something,

19:08

whether good or bad,

19:09

she was going to do it.

19:11

That's it.

19:13

If you found out about it or whatever,

19:15

I think

19:17

she knew her people.

19:18

She

19:21

knew who would tell her what. Me

19:24

and Rosa have talked about this. She

19:27

was private and that comes too

19:29

from our childhood. We

19:33

were made to put on this

19:36

face that everything is okay, everything's

19:39

perfect, there's nothing going on.

19:43

We learned how to do that very well. I

19:47

honestly

19:48

believe that's why there's things

19:51

that people don't know. Things

19:55

that I found out or things

19:57

from different seasons of her life

19:59

people don't know.

19:59

And that, that's not

20:03

her fault. Like that's what we were taught.

20:05

You're listening to hands off my podcast,

20:08

true crime on true crime by

20:10

indie drop-in we're going to take a quick break.

20:13

And now back to this episode of hands

20:16

off my podcast, true crime. Definitely.

20:19

I could definitely say

20:21

that she, she picked and

20:23

chose what she wanted to share.

20:26

You know, like,

20:27

what she was doing. She was comfortable with sharing what

20:29

she was comfortable is exactly

20:31

what I was. I was telling Jovana that other days

20:34

I felt like,

20:35

you know, cause others know other things that, you

20:38

know, we didn't know. And then we know things that

20:40

others don't know. And, you know, and like I told Jovana,

20:42

like, I feel like she picked and chose

20:45

who she was comfortable in that situation

20:47

with,

20:48

you know, not, not that anybody's better

20:51

than anybody, it's just where she felt

20:53

more comfortable at.

20:55

And I feel like me and Jovana, you know, Jovana

20:57

being her bigger sister, and then me

20:59

being the person that she knew who I was, I worried.

21:02

I, you know, anything,

21:04

you know, the kids were sick or she was sick. I

21:07

was there calling, I was checking,

21:09

you know, she knew the worry

21:11

person that I was. So I felt

21:13

like a bunch of that.

21:15

I didn't know it's for that reason. She wasn't trying

21:17

to worry me. She knew I had a lot going on

21:20

in my own life

21:21

that she, I know she just didn't want to worry

21:23

me on certain things.

21:26

So Jovana

21:28

says it was a big part. Yeah.

21:31

And that's another thing too, whenever

21:34

you come from where we come from, you don't want

21:36

to burden people with like your issues.

21:40

And it is, it may not be a burden

21:42

for your friends or family, but

21:44

it feels that way. It

21:46

does, it does. Yeah.

21:51

She had an argument with her husband, Joe

21:54

Daniel Carrasco, before she

21:56

left home on foot, leaving the two

21:58

other children behind. This incident

22:00

took place on the 16,000 block

22:03

of Walnut Creek Drive. Now

22:06

we understand that tensions were high

22:08

in this relationship, with their

22:10

family mentioning previous difficulties and attempts

22:13

to isolate Bianca from them. Bianca

22:16

went missing just three days after posting

22:19

an image on her Facebook account.

22:22

It is important to note that it is completely

22:25

out of character for Bianca to turn

22:27

off her phone, something she has never

22:29

done since May 1st at

22:32

10.22pm the day she went missing.

22:34

I think this is the difference

22:37

and I know that I've talked to Rosa about this. It's

22:39

not the same as losing a loved one.

22:43

Right, exactly. It's

22:45

not the same.

22:49

You don't have the closure.

22:51

You don't know.

22:53

And the most hardest

22:57

thing to say, knowing

23:00

my sister, who she

23:03

is, what she would do or wouldn't

23:05

do,

23:06

I don't want

23:09

her to just show up at my door. Like

23:11

I don't want a police officer saying,

23:14

we found her sister. Because

23:17

that would have meant for seven years that she

23:20

was being held against her will. And

23:23

I'm not okay with that. I

23:25

don't even want, that

23:28

makes me sick to my stomach thinking about

23:30

it. Because I know my sister didn't just

23:32

walk away.

23:34

I know she didn't. It's

23:36

a very rural thing. It's very different

23:38

than there are people that

23:40

just walk away. There are people

23:42

that are just missing. But

23:45

for Bianca, something

23:47

happened to her.

23:49

People know what happened to her.

23:52

And they're not speaking up. And

23:56

I can't like, for

23:58

seven years. I cannot

24:01

even... That

24:03

crushes my heart to think about a

24:05

possibility

24:08

Of even of her being alive

24:10

because that would mean something very

24:13

bad has been happening to her for seven years

24:17

I

24:20

think the

24:21

The way I would answer that is not what

24:24

I would do if she was to come my thing Is

24:26

what I would have changed the last time I saw

24:28

her

24:29

is what I feel I beat me up the

24:31

most

24:33

you know like

24:34

Maybe ask more questions like

24:37

because I knew something was going on, but I didn't

24:39

know through her. I knew through Joe

24:41

Daniel

24:42

Because Joe Daniel and my husband

24:45

were really good friends

24:47

so I knew things were going on because

24:49

of him and

24:50

and Leading to that

24:52

I would have taken it

24:54

back and been like hey

24:57

Let's talk what's going

25:00

on. Can I help in some

25:02

way? you know

25:04

something like that, you know like

25:07

I

25:08

Would have hugged her tighter.

25:10

I would have reminded her

25:13

I love her. I know she

25:15

knew that but To where

25:18

she felt like she could come and

25:20

tell me like

25:22

Rose that this was going on.

25:24

This is happening What

25:27

do you think I should do?

25:30

You know something but

25:33

I Feel

25:35

like that that's how I would answer that

25:37

question. I would have said things differently

25:39

yet

25:40

Wouldn't lose her. She's you know, like

25:43

she's missing. We can't find her We

25:45

don't have that peace. We don't have that

25:47

closure. We don't

25:49

we don't know nothing So

25:52

it's different different for

25:54

For us in that situation.

25:56

I

25:58

Completely understand both angles

25:59

Jibana Rosa, thank you so much

26:02

because there's

26:04

times where...

26:07

Okay.

26:09

I'm sorry.

26:13

There's times where you have to like,

26:15

um...

26:25

I'm sorry.

26:28

I hold my kids a little tighter. I

26:31

hold, you know, having that mind

26:33

thought, the mind process that we are as

26:36

siblings, as parents.

26:41

You never know that's

26:44

their last day you get to

26:46

see that person. So,

26:50

you know, it really affects

26:52

me that

26:54

you don't expect that to happen to anyone.

26:57

You don't expect anything

26:59

the worst to happen, you know, or

27:02

just for them just to disappear without

27:04

a trace. And people are... And

27:06

when you brought up the

27:08

thing about people knowing

27:11

Jibana, knowing about

27:14

her and what had happened

27:16

to her and her disappearance, that

27:18

infuriates me even more to

27:21

know that somebody knows something

27:23

and they're not saying anything. And,

27:26

you know, I am so sorry

27:29

that

27:31

you're

27:33

going through this.

27:37

It should...

27:47

It's totally... It's

27:51

unless you're

27:53

in this situation like that, you'll never understand.

27:56

Never. You'll never

27:59

understand.

27:59

unless it literally

28:02

happens to you.

28:08

Because it's easy

28:10

for everybody to say, oh,

28:14

well, you lost

28:16

her, she's gone. No,

28:21

you can't say that to

28:23

us. And I feel like that's

28:26

why Jovana and I have gotten so

28:28

close because

28:33

her heart is my heart.

28:37

Hers is

28:40

totally more. And I tell her I will never

28:42

take the fact that you're

28:44

her sister, I will never try to be better than

28:46

you. I will never say like, oh, I

28:48

missed her more or oh, I loved her

28:50

more. No, no, no. But I know

28:53

Jovana hurts. And just

28:56

the same way I hurt,

28:58

we can relate to that hurt.

29:06

For me, it took, I mean,

29:09

I don't know. Julie said

29:11

these podcasts that it's not easy.

29:13

It's not easy to talk about because it

29:16

does bring up all those things.

29:18

It does, like she got to this

29:22

place for a reason. It's

29:25

not just like,

29:29

she didn't, like you said, her survival,

29:31

she didn't

29:32

survive. You know, so.

29:36

There's more to that story.

29:39

Yes. And it takes

29:41

a lot for the family to actually

29:45

speak up about

29:46

things, things

29:48

that I told my mom today. I mean, she's in prison

29:51

and she's crying and

29:55

just my

29:57

whole family on both sides may hate me. by

30:00

the time this is all said and done because

30:04

nobody wants to talk about these

30:06

really hard things but

30:09

Bianca's not here and

30:12

there's many reasons that

30:14

led up

30:15

to this. She

30:18

was very young still at

30:20

the time that she disappeared.

30:26

So

30:28

I'm sorry if I come across. It

30:33

took me a lot to get here to actually

30:36

start speaking up and speaking

30:38

out. So yeah.

30:41

Never apologize. Never

30:43

apologize. Never ever never

30:46

apologize, because you are

30:48

doing something that

30:51

your sister would have done. I think

30:53

there's a lot of things in the perspective that a lot

30:56

of people don't understand is that

30:58

you are her voice

31:00

when she is absent.

31:03

So don't ever apologize

31:05

for what you do. Don't ever

31:08

apologize because you're doing it with strength

31:10

and you're doing it with courage.

31:13

You're in a in a step where a lot of

31:15

other families have even gotten to

31:17

and it's been 20

31:18

years.

31:20

It's something that the family knows and they're hush

31:23

about it because it's

31:24

some kind of like unwritten rule

31:27

that they don't let other people into

31:29

their lives. We'll deal with our own

31:32

family issues and not have anyone else

31:34

be involved in

31:36

their lost loved ones story. So

31:39

this is a huge step. Don't

31:43

ever apologize, but I'm

31:45

glad that you are here to tell Bianca's

31:47

story. The

31:50

media takes things and then

31:52

they just go and then you. I

31:55

think the last two podcasts that I did it was

31:58

more of I

32:03

just want to find out. I

32:08

just want people to know how

32:13

it got here and I

32:16

want, I

32:19

say I want, I pray that

32:22

someone has the conviction to hear

32:26

things out loud and say, I

32:28

need to save. That's

32:33

why I'm doing these projects.

32:36

Yes, because it's not like, I feel

32:39

like what I've

32:41

heard from Jovana and I

32:43

feel like I feel the same way too. We

32:47

want people to know Bianca,

32:50

who Bianca

32:54

is, the

32:56

person she was, she wasn't just

32:59

somebody who married her uncle

33:01

and went missing because that's what everything

33:05

out there is making itself. And

33:09

that's what she means. There's a story

33:11

behind it all. It's

33:13

not just she married

33:15

her uncle.

33:18

Right.

33:19

And that was one of the things that I wanted

33:21

to completely

33:23

debunk or have

33:26

your story to

33:29

the truthfulness of the story, because

33:31

I noticed that a lot that it was always like the

33:33

centerpiece of conversations. And I completely

33:36

agree with y'all that

33:39

that's not what defines

33:43

the situation.

33:45

It could be Joe Schmo from

33:48

Mars and that

33:51

shouldn't, that

33:53

should have never happened to her

33:55

no matter who was

33:57

involved in her life. So in regards to that.

34:00

But I know that you want to get

34:03

the record straight in regards to how

34:06

What had led up her story behind

34:08

it because I don't like to listen to

34:11

media. I don't like to Feed

34:13

into all of that because that's not

34:16

coming from you. I

34:17

don't see it as genuine. I see

34:19

it as a

34:21

attention-seeking looking for

34:23

subs trying to get cloud

34:26

in their

34:27

Whatever and then initially

34:29

that one story was released and that's

34:32

Everyone focused on that. Right

34:34

everybody went with that which It

34:38

is part of the problem. Like

34:40

it's a little piece of the problem but

34:44

there was a very short

34:46

journey there for

34:49

Bianca, I mean I'll

34:52

start off with because I've said this multiple

34:54

times in other interviews is

34:56

that Our mother is in

34:58

prison.

34:59

Okay, and

35:01

Our father's nowhere Involved

35:05

trying to find her so

35:07

that off the top should

35:09

give you some kind of

35:12

clue

35:14

There's some pretty crazy things

35:16

going on there, right?

35:18

but

35:21

I didn't give you all these little details

35:23

and tell you that

35:26

We're with our dad

35:28

There's

35:30

It was rough

35:32

Yeah, I'm gonna run childhood

35:34

like rough and she got

35:36

pregnant at 16

35:39

That baby was born July 1st. She was turning 17

35:41

July 21st

35:45

She was sent away when she got pregnant When

35:49

That didn't give up this baby

35:52

on her good like she didn't

35:54

she didn't it wasn't that it was

35:56

the party Then we did not have

35:58

the family support

36:01

So she does that, gives

36:04

the baby up, finishes high school,

36:07

goes and tries to find our mother who

36:10

is at that point already a-selling,

36:13

already in and out,

36:16

doing things she shouldn't be doing.

36:20

Within a short amount of time, this family,

36:24

like our mother's side of the family,

36:26

we didn't grow up with them. Our dad had

36:29

kept us away. We didn't...

36:30

So this uncle,

36:33

like

36:33

he wasn't, we didn't look at

36:34

him like that

36:36

because we didn't grow up with our family like

36:39

that. I still don't

36:40

know my mother's side of

36:42

the family very well.

36:44

And then within

36:47

a year, a year, within

36:49

a year, she gets

36:51

mixed up with Joe

36:54

Daniel and gets pregnant with my

36:56

oldest niece.

36:58

You're talking a year.

37:00

So the most vulnerable, darkest,

37:03

lonely, nobody there.

37:08

I mean, I followed her to Odessa, but

37:10

we're only 18 months

37:12

apart. And she's

37:15

with this man who

37:17

is much older

37:19

than her.

37:22

And then it just goes on from there.

37:26

So it's not as simple

37:28

as everyone makes

37:32

it out to be, that she

37:35

married her uncle.

37:37

Thank you. Thank you for sitting

37:39

that straight because that's, I

37:41

want the truthfulness. I don't want this

37:43

blown up. Exactly. It's

37:46

a story that a lot of people heard going

37:48

with. And I,

37:49

you know,

37:50

I've dealt with a lot of family members on my podcast

37:53

that had the same scenario being

37:55

blown out of proportion about the stories of their

37:57

lost loved ones or their. Well, it's

37:59

not hard.

38:00

It's to hide all the other skeletons

38:02

that everybody

38:03

else has. Right.

38:04

That's what it is.

38:06

Because for me to just

38:09

say that, I'd have to say all these other

38:11

things. And so there's things that

38:13

are going to come out. There's things people are going to put

38:15

two and two together and it's going to be, it's

38:18

not comfortable. It's not, doesn't

38:21

make the families

38:21

look good, you know? But

38:26

she's missing. Like

38:28

somebody hurt her. She's gone.

38:31

Her babies are without her. It doesn't

38:33

matter. It's

38:35

time to suck up your pride

38:38

and get

38:40

over it.

38:42

I feel like people who didn't

38:44

get to know Bianca missed out. They

38:46

missed out because...

38:48

They really did.

38:52

If you needed something, she hurt somebody, need

38:54

something.

38:55

She was right there. She was, whatever,

38:57

what do I need to do? How can I help you?

39:00

That's how she was.

39:04

And that says

39:04

a lot even coming from work. Like

39:08

that's why I want to share. Like people

39:10

wouldn't have been like her. They would have

39:12

been mean. And

39:17

she didn't.

39:20

She tried to change her life and

39:22

help people regardless

39:24

of what she went through and how mean

39:26

people were to her.

39:29

That's what I told Jovana the other day is

39:33

I feel like that's what made

39:35

her her is because she

39:37

chose to be different. She

39:40

chose to take everything

39:42

she went through and put it into

39:45

them.

39:48

And I feel like nowadays,

39:50

especially the generation of today, these

39:52

kids use all their past

39:54

trauma as excuses to why they don't

39:56

do it. They don't finish school. They don't, you

39:59

know, they...

39:59

turn to drugs, they do this, they do that. And

40:02

that,

40:03

and that, that was the young girl.

40:07

It made her strong.

40:08

It made her hope her

40:10

kids know that, you know,

40:12

they learned that because I know she would want them

40:15

to know the same thing, to know to do the

40:17

same thing.

40:21

We love harder. And there's always

40:23

a reason why we

40:24

love harder. Because

40:26

we are trying to make up for the lost

40:28

love that we didn't have in our childhood

40:31

or the trauma that we are, we had endured

40:33

that we're trying to make it a constructive, a sort

40:35

of destructive pattern in our

40:37

lives. Overcompensating

40:40

for the lack of what we had

40:42

received as a child. So that's,

40:46

that's so. And I feel like that's why she

40:48

was the way she was with her kids. Very

40:51

protective of her kids.

40:53

You know, she had to be really,

40:55

really close for you to

40:58

be around them, to watch them, to take

41:01

care. Like she's nobody, nobody

41:03

to care about kids.

41:05

That's why I wasn't buying what was happening towards

41:07

the end.

41:08

Wasn't buying it.

41:12

Yeah.

41:13

And that's how come when, you

41:16

know, I found out

41:18

through social media, I

41:20

was on Facebook,

41:22

but I had actually gotten a message

41:25

from one of

41:26

our other friends asking

41:28

me, I

41:29

mean, like reaching out to me, telling me they

41:31

were sorry that they had heard about Bianca.

41:34

And I was like, what

41:36

about Bianca? And

41:38

she's like, you don't know. And I

41:39

was like, no. And

41:41

then she said, she's missing.

41:43

I said, what do you mean she's missing? Like I had

41:45

just talked to Bianca the night before.

41:48

And that's when I get on Facebook and, you

41:51

know, when I call Joe

41:54

Daniel.

41:56

A few days prior to her disappearance, Bianca

41:59

reached out to her sister. via text,

42:01

stating that Daniel had emptied their account

42:03

and opened a new one without her name

42:06

on it.

42:07

This left her with limited

42:09

financial resources, only

42:11

having access to a credit card that was close

42:14

to its limit. Bianca

42:16

expressed that she refused to be controlled

42:18

by a man or money. The

42:20

last conversation Bianca had with her sister,

42:23

Giovanna, occurred at 2pm

42:25

on a day she

42:26

went missing. During this conversation,

42:29

she discussed

42:29

plans to consult with a lawyer regarding

42:32

child custody matters. Initially

42:34

Daniel did not want to report Bianca

42:37

as a missing person because he believed

42:39

she left woodenly. However

42:42

due to the insistence of her sister, a report

42:46

was eventually filed.

42:48

So in the very beginning, the last

42:51

pings for her phone were right there

42:53

by her house and we did

42:56

two searches.

42:57

One was the community

42:59

gathering and then the Texas

43:00

Aqua Search actually helped us search the

43:04

area. And they

43:06

searched the home, they searched the

43:08

cars, they had

43:09

dogs. As far

43:11

as the results,

43:13

I'm not entirely sure that they came back

43:16

clear.

43:17

So yeah, that was the search

43:19

effort. Other

43:23

than that, they haven't

43:25

given us anywhere else to look.

43:28

I mean he left that night. The

43:31

San Antonio is five hours from Odessa

43:33

where he drove. He

43:35

didn't get back to San Antonio until 8pm Monday

43:38

night.

43:41

You're listening to Hands Off My Podcast

43:44

True Crime on True Crime by

43:46

Indie Drop-In. We're going to take a quick break.

43:50

And now back to this episode of Hands

43:52

Off My Podcast True Crime.

43:59

foul play. They believe they're foul play.

44:02

I

44:02

was told by

44:04

a homicide

44:04

detective that unfortunately

44:07

if we don't find a body there's

44:10

nothing we can do. A homicide

44:12

detective.

44:15

CPS, I mean CPS

44:17

got involved the very first week

44:20

you know because the kids were left and they

44:22

were just gun-homing. That's why they removed

44:24

the children

44:25

was that

44:26

they were convinced something happened

44:28

but it's two different agencies.

44:35

I don't know it's super frustrating.

44:38

Missing persons in Texas is

44:41

very sad because there's

44:43

a lot.

44:45

There's a lot of missing.

44:47

Yes I've noticed that as I continue

44:50

to do research about San Antonio um

44:54

they are very loose

44:58

in their investigative

45:01

practices. If they're one

45:04

of the major things is like their missing

45:06

person unit. They're

45:08

not police officers. They're agent. So

45:12

they only have so much authority

45:15

in the first place.

45:17

Other counties you may have police

45:19

officers and missing persons but as

45:21

far as San Antonio goes they're

45:24

not police officers. They're

45:25

limited to what they can do. So

45:28

then they have to determine

45:31

who they can get help from, who

45:33

to reach out to.

45:35

Is it foul play? I mean it's it's

45:38

crazy. It's something

45:41

needs to be changed for sure. Oh

45:44

yeah for sure for sure.

45:48

Oh my part is that

45:51

adults have

45:53

rights. We can disappear

45:55

if we want to and

45:57

it's so hard to prove if something

45:59

is not right and

46:02

like the family members like I knew

46:04

something was wrong you know I could give you all

46:06

these things and to tell you no

46:08

she's not missing something

46:10

happened to her but then you have

46:12

these laws that protect but

46:15

they don't really protect them because

46:17

in a missing persons case those first few hours

46:20

of them was important I

46:22

feel like she

46:24

wasn't taking us seriously like

46:26

her case wasn't taking us seriously I thought

46:30

maybe and I don't know if this is just me feeling

46:35

some type of way is is it because I'm

46:37

just her sister my

46:39

mom and dad are not there fighting

46:42

for her and maybe they're saying

46:44

like oh well if her

46:47

parents don't care

46:49

you know what I mean yeah things

46:52

like that I feel

46:54

like I was naive

46:57

and did the best that I could in the

46:59

beginning

47:01

but yeah you trust that that

47:04

that they're gonna help when you're crying

47:07

out

47:07

and saying hey this

47:09

is going on I know this happened

47:12

I know this happened please go look into

47:14

this or you

47:15

know

47:17

and and the hard

47:19

part too is that

47:21

not every individual in law

47:23

law enforcement is like that you

47:25

know so it's like there

47:28

may be one person trying to do their job and

47:30

they're doing their job correctly

47:33

but they get a bad rap for

47:35

all the ones who

47:37

did one one rotten

47:39

apple spoils

47:40

the bunch they say right they're

47:42

looked upon as a whole and it's

47:45

it's sad because I bet you that

47:47

person is coming in with

47:49

the intentions of

47:52

trying to turn that

47:53

negativity of that

47:56

district or department around

47:58

and it's just more to do their job

47:59

Yeah, yeah, well in

48:02

her case. It was very simple. It's like

48:05

just do your job. Yeah. Yeah

48:07

I mean there's things that

48:09

is just like

48:11

Why why didn't she do that?

48:15

Yeah, very careless very careless

48:17

now

48:21

Her

48:23

Are they they're currently married correct? And it's

48:25

how is it is it Joe Daniel or is

48:27

it just Daniel or how do you identify

48:29

her? partner

48:32

His name is Joe Daniel, but his

48:35

nickname is Daniel Now

48:39

has Daniel

48:41

been questioned by the SAP D

48:43

and what was the result of that?

48:48

They questioned him one

48:50

time and then

48:53

he He

48:55

cooperated for the beginning. They

48:58

asked if he would take a polygraph

49:01

test. He initially said yes and

49:03

then

49:04

Somewhere a little after that

49:07

he got a lawyer and

49:09

then no more no more questioning

49:12

No more polygraph

49:14

No cooperation

49:17

Did the SAP D do anything like the

49:19

like a least a bare minimum of like looking

49:21

in her at her last place Where

49:24

she was identified as last place

49:27

scene Did they do at least

49:29

anything?

49:31

To

49:32

or if they had provided you any

49:34

additional information about

49:36

what they've done

49:37

so far

49:39

Yeah, I mean I think

49:41

initially they I

49:44

mean CPS got involved immediately

49:46

if you know anything about CPS in Texas,

49:48

it takes a lot for them to remove the children

49:51

For them to be urgently removed in the way

49:53

that they did There

49:56

was big huge red flags for them to be

49:58

able to do that They

50:00

did go into the home and they searched

50:03

it and they did the whole spraying lights

50:05

or...

50:07

My only concern

50:09

is that

50:11

what came up into those reports, you

50:15

know, and I don't want to say too much because there

50:18

is investigating going on, reinvestigating

50:20

going on now,

50:22

but like even questioning, like how

50:24

far did they go with the questioning?

50:25

Not sure,

50:27

you

50:28

know. And

50:31

have they kept in contact

50:33

with you in regards to any updates or has it been

50:36

pretty much a one-way street that you've been

50:38

reaching out to them about status

50:40

updates? One way. Yeah,

50:43

I see that. That seems like it's a constant

50:45

ammo when it comes to law enforcement.

50:49

Well, especially with missing people. Yes.

50:52

I mean, I feel like seven years a

50:55

lot. Yeah, for sure.

50:58

For sure. Has

50:59

the FBI been involved

51:01

in the investigation of her disappearance,

51:03

Bianca's disappearance? Have you requested

51:06

them

51:06

to be... I think that's

51:09

a family request. I'm not sure

51:11

what level the FBI is involved,

51:13

but I'm not sure. No. No.

51:16

No. No. Law enforcement

51:18

has to

51:19

request help. They can request help from

51:21

the Rangers.

51:22

Okay. FBI can get involved

51:24

if it's

51:26

on government property.

51:29

They can automatically get involved. Yeah.

51:32

So,

51:33

we can't.

51:35

I've called FBI report. You can't just go

51:37

and say, hey, can you help me? That's

51:39

not how it works.

51:43

But have you looked into private

51:46

investigating or other organizations?

51:48

Are you able to share that or not

51:50

at all?

51:52

Yes. So, Texas Liquid Search

51:54

is a non-profit organization. They

51:56

help

51:57

huge big time in the state of Texas.

51:59

and nationwide, they

52:02

helped us.

52:03

They help,

52:04

all these organizations can help as far

52:06

as law enforcement, whatever information

52:09

they give them.

52:10

They can't have all the information. Public

52:13

investigators the same. It

52:16

all depends on what law

52:18

enforcement is going to give them. What information

52:20

will they give them?

52:22

For them to further,

52:24

you know, their own investigations.

52:28

I see. I think there's a thing that they

52:32

don't want too many hands in the cookie jar,

52:34

so say, or someone's tripping

52:37

over each other's feet in regards to investigation.

52:39

I'm not sure if that plays in this part,

52:42

but I would think the more the merrier

52:45

in regards

52:45

to trying to connect the pieces.

52:48

I could see that,

52:49

because honestly

52:51

with Bianca's case, they

52:54

had too many departments involved. Like

52:57

within

52:59

San Antonio Police Department, there

53:01

were too many departments where they could never

53:04

get the dots altogether. So

53:07

one department knew this, one department knew

53:09

that. And so no one

53:11

was ever able to see the big picture.

53:15

So I could see how

53:17

they would be more protective

53:21

across the board with that. Yeah.

53:25

And you did mention that there hasn't been any

53:27

recent updates or developments in Bianca's

53:29

disappearance. So far you've been up

53:31

to date in regards to

53:34

what has been done so far. Have

53:36

you as a family been

53:38

involved in raising money and

53:41

doing things from your side

53:43

of

53:44

the investigation or

53:46

side of the searching for her? Have

53:50

you done GoFundMe or raising

53:52

money for rewarding or?

53:55

Yeah, we have a GoFundMe

53:58

and a Venmo. It's been shared. a

54:00

lot but not really donated to

54:02

a lot. I'm not sure why which

54:04

I mean it is what it is.

54:06

We do, one

54:08

of her other Bianca's distance

54:09

friends started

54:11

up a new page and we've all been

54:13

trying to get things going

54:16

like different social media

54:19

things just to get the word out just

54:21

to put more pressure

54:24

on the police and just

54:27

spreading the word. So

54:29

if you go to her page, her help

54:32

page, it's help find answers

54:34

for Bianca Carrasco. We've

54:36

started you know just trying to get the

54:39

Twitter, the Facebook, the

54:42

Instagram,

54:42

all this stuff restarted. In the very beginning

54:45

we had a help page

54:46

but it someone tried to hack

54:48

into it and I've never been able to get back

54:50

into it. Yeah

54:51

I was gonna ask you about that like what happened.

54:54

It's really weird.

54:55

Yeah because you did mention that

54:57

a couple times on your new Facebook page

54:59

that. Yeah I actually had to get a new Facebook.

55:02

Yeah Facebook. Yeah

55:04

wow.

55:05

People are just

55:07

don't write cruel like you see

55:10

what's what's

55:13

the worth of doing

55:15

something like that to a page that's

55:18

trying to look for a missing

55:20

person like

55:21

you have to be a low so the low in

55:24

regards to doing something like that. I don't know the

55:27

but I was trying to figure out like why

55:30

but I guess Facebook is just Facebook so

55:32

um why because whoever

55:35

was doing it doesn't want

55:36

other people to know. To know.

55:39

That's why. I

55:41

yeah there has to be some reason

55:43

and that makes sense in

55:45

regards to that.

55:46

Yeah.

55:51

As far as I know the um

55:54

house and the vehicles were searched.

55:57

Again I'm not sure of the results of those.

56:00

Okay,

56:01

she left well he said she

56:03

left on foot on foot. Okay

56:07

Interesting Was

56:10

and I hate to say this because

56:12

it seems like it's an ongoing saying

56:16

that a lot of

56:17

partners will identify that

56:19

when someone goes missing they left on

56:21

foot with an own person to it with a to

56:24

an unknown person the person that was

56:26

another

56:26

man or

56:28

Did is that something you're able to share

56:30

as a reason why?

56:32

His history in regards to why

56:34

she would leave

56:36

on foot.

56:37

I guess what there was a day that she went Missing

56:41

and kind of what led up to him identifying

56:44

that she had left on foot Can

56:47

you tell me a little

56:47

bit on?

56:49

Heard the day that was leading up to her

56:51

disappearance So

56:54

they were

56:57

We're not talking and

57:00

then they were talking they were arguing

57:03

those months leading up to her disappearance

57:05

and She was talking

57:08

to one person in particular he

57:11

found out the week before she went missing

57:13

and

57:14

actually called that

57:16

guy and

57:19

So, yeah, that's what he says that she

57:21

left with that guy but

57:24

If you know my sisters, I should don't have

57:26

anything

57:28

With her and

57:29

she wouldn't have left her car. It would

57:31

it doesn't make sense if you look at the case

57:36

Definitely when the blood

57:37

walking

57:38

Yeah

57:39

back to the Not

57:42

a lot of outdoor person. Yeah,

57:44

there's so many quicker options

57:47

of lean from something that was

57:49

a verbally abusive Relationship

57:52

and walking is probably like the last

57:55

thing that's on the list that there's no other way

57:57

of means of Actually at two

57:59

o'clock

57:59

And that as well on

58:01

being a woman at night on

58:03

San Antonio streets would

58:07

be like the big

58:09

like the last end result of

58:12

all their options are just obsolete.

58:15

Yeah, and every case is over

58:19

disappearance is always like nothing

58:21

really adds up because it's always the

58:25

reason why it's not added up because

58:27

there's not the truth has not been identified. There's

58:31

a lot of hidden

58:33

lies or lies that are being told

58:36

about the person that's missing, Bianca that's

58:38

missing to cover their

58:40

own tracks. Of course, it's never going to

58:42

be, oh yeah, that

58:45

makes sense. You never come

58:47

to a conclusion where like, oh yeah, that makes sense. Like

58:49

that never happens in a disappearance

58:51

of a person.

58:53

Has she ever touched her banking account?

58:56

What kind of leads you up to knowing that, you

58:59

know, the walking away

59:03

statement doesn't

59:05

add up like you said, it doesn't, it never adds

59:07

up to why a person,

59:10

why Bianca had disappeared. Because

59:12

there's nothing. There's

59:15

nothing.

59:15

Yeah. So there's no activity

59:17

on her checking account. There's no activity

59:19

on anything that she would have used by means

59:22

of supporting in helping herself

59:25

along the way of her

59:27

walking away from her family,

59:29

which I

59:30

wholly 100% doubt that

59:32

she did it

59:33

on her record.

59:36

And with Bianca just understanding Bianca,

59:38

that's something she would have never done, you

59:40

know, and different circumstances. Stop to

59:42

she wouldn't have just not sure. Either.

59:45

Exactly. There's not there.

59:47

You can't just disappear like that

59:50

now. And there's been nothing,

59:53

absolutely nothing.

59:53

Her phone was turned off that night.

59:57

Never pinged again.

59:59

Never pinged at

1:00:02

the time that he

1:00:02

made a phone call.

1:00:06

That's not...

1:00:09

Mm-mm.

1:00:10

Yeah, that's... yeah. Mm-mm.

1:00:13

And what gets me

1:00:15

more flustered is that

1:00:19

when they're saying that there's not enough

1:00:21

information or evidence to

1:00:23

lead up to someone's indictment

1:00:26

or conviction of her disappearance,

1:00:30

which is like a total piece of baloney

1:00:32

because

1:00:34

there's enough to put this...

1:00:37

whoever this perpetrator

1:00:38

is in jail

1:00:40

on... inducted

1:00:43

on her disappearance or whatever the case

1:00:45

may be on why Bianca

1:00:47

is not here.

1:00:50

It just floors me. Like, what else...

1:00:52

what other information do you need to make

1:00:55

it solidified that

1:00:57

she is missing and that this person was behind

her disappearance? Like, what

1:01:02

more do you... what more does a

1:01:04

SAPD need to do or need to

1:01:07

see

1:01:08

to move forward on that?

1:01:11

We need Bianca.

1:01:13

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

1:01:16

And that's what I'm... and I thank you for sharing

1:01:19

this with me because it's been an

1:01:21

honor speaking with you, Giovanna

1:01:23

and Rosa, about a

1:01:26

very special person that is

1:01:28

currently missing, Bianca Carrasco.

1:01:33

Bianca was last seen at her home in San

1:01:35

Antonio, Texas,

1:01:37

and her husband's involvement in her disappearance

1:01:39

is uncertain. Despite the

1:01:41

searches and investigations, few clues

1:01:43

have emerged and no suspects or

1:01:46

persons

1:01:46

of interest have been identified.

1:01:49

Bianca's loved ones are adamant that

1:01:52

she would never leave her children willingly,

1:01:55

making her disappearance highly concerning. Police

1:01:58

are urging anyone with interest to come to the information about

1:02:00

our whereabouts to contact them.

1:02:03

I really appreciate you covering

1:02:05

it and helping us

1:02:07

get the word out.

1:02:08

Yes, ma'am. Thank

1:02:10

you. Thank you so much. You're

1:02:12

very welcome, Rosa.

1:02:14

Jovana, I see you. Thank

1:02:16

you so much for your time. And

1:02:19

you have a good restful evening.

1:02:21

You too, Chip.

1:02:22

Bianca Zannett Carrasco.

1:02:26

It's described as a Hispanic woman

1:02:29

with brown eyes and shoulder length brown

1:02:31

hair. She stands at

1:02:33

five feet, one inch and weighs 125

1:02:35

pounds. At

1:02:38

the time of her disappearance, she

1:02:40

was wearing a colorful pastel leggings,

1:02:43

a blue jean jacket.

1:02:45

Additionally,

1:02:46

she has a surgical scar on her abdomen

1:02:49

and a letter B tattooed

1:02:51

on her hip. If you

1:02:53

or anyone you know has any information

1:02:56

about Bianca Zannett Carrasco,

1:02:59

we urge you to contact the San Antonio Police

1:03:01

Department at 210-207-7662.

1:03:06

Your

1:03:09

help could be instrumental in bringing closure

1:03:11

to Bianca's loved ones and finding

1:03:14

justice for her.

1:03:16

We thank you for listening to Jovana tell

1:03:18

1:03:20

to Bianca's disappearance.

1:03:23
