the channel to grow today we are discussing three unsolved cold cases let's get into it
number one carrie o'brien krueger in december of 1989 carrie o'brien krueger was living with her
husband tracy and their three-year-old daughter megan in burlington wisconsin
at the time the 31 year old mother was working in the public relations department of gander mountain
an outdoor retail company known as gander outdoors according to tracy carrie's co-worker called her
on the evening of december 5th asking her to join them for a trade show in wyoming the next day
it would be a last-minute trip as she was replacing a co-worker who couldn't make it
she packed her suitcase that night and planned to leave 4 30 a.m the next morning to drive to
chicago illinois where she would meet up with another co-worker and catch a flight from o'hare
international airport she planned to return the following sunday tracy remembered carrie saying
goodbye to him before she left on the morning of december 6th a neighbor recalled seeing a
black car outside of carrie's home around 4 30 am with a man in the driver's seat according to their
daughter megan the neighbor also said that she saw carrie get into the car but it's unclear what
series of events is correct later that morning tracy got a call from one of carrie's co-workers
asking where she was and why she hadn't showed up to work tracy told them that carrie was at a trade
show in wyoming only to find out that there was no trade show scheduled for that date and that carrie
was not asked to attend any event at that time so where had carrie gone tracy then called carrie's
sister molly to ask if carrie was with her which she wasn't molly encouraged tracy to call the rest
of her family and see if carrie was with them and then to call the police but tracy didn't
want to call the police just yet as he believed carrie would be back soon the next day tracy went
with carrie's parents to the police station and they officially reported her as missing
during the investigation the police searched carrie's home but found no evidence related to
her disappearance many of her personal belongings were still there including her brand new makeup
winter coat and everyday hair tools they did however notice that carrie and tracy's mattress
was missing when questioned tracy said that he'd bought a waterbed to surprise carrie with upon
her return because she'd always wanted one her family found that suspicious because carrie was
very frugal and wouldn't have been happy with the purges the original mattress was never located
friends and family say carrie and tracy's marriage was in trouble there was no evidence of abuse but
carrie had previously told friends that she was going to consider divorce if things didn't
improve before carrie disappeared tracy had purchased a truck in their name and didn't tell
carrie about it they believe tracy forged carrie's signature on the loan document and told her it was
borrowed from a friend since she wouldn't have agreed to buy it some suspect that carrie found
out about the purchase and it caused an escalating fight on the night of december 5th their daughter
megan said that she doesn't believe her father was involved in her mother's disappearance
she said that her dad grieved for many years after carrie disappeared and that he'd been heartbroken
carrie was a former journalist and an editor for the burlington standard press and she once wrote
a story about changing identities leading some to believe that she left to start a new life
megan also said that after reviewing her mother's journal she believed she left on her own accord
we really truly believe that she left she said from reading her diaries and i do understand
that the amount i have are from a very young age from her from middle school through high school
she seemed very depressed but the rest of carrie's family doesn't believe she abandoned her husband
and daughter some believe that she was being poisoned before she disappeared as carrie had
been having an unknown gastrointestinal issues that doctors could never identify the cause of
megan has also gastrointestinal issues that flare up when she gets stressed which she
suspects is the same issue her mother had carrie's brother pat said that many family
members believe tracy is responsible my sister would not leave megan he said everybody believes
that he did it and it is certainly not her fault the question remains did carrie lie about the
trade show and leave on her own or did tracy lie about the trade show to cover up a crime
tracy said that carrie traveled for business fairly often over the years
and he would take time off work to look after their daughter megan but according to carrie's
employer she had only been scheduled to attend one out-of-town business trip back in 1987.
one of tracy's co-workers said that tracy had once canceled a social engagement at the last
minute saying carrie had a chance to go to alaska on a business trip so he'd have to watch megan but
when a friend asked carrie about the alaska trip she knew nothing about it carrie's sisters also
said that according to phone records no call came in the night of december 6 from colleagues asking
carrie to join them from the trade show as tracy had said according to molly four months after
carrie went missing bloody men's pajama shirt and slippers were found in a neighboring county
her family didn't recognize the shirt but molly said that tracy was known for wearing pajamas and
slippers in a similar style the analysis concluded that there was human blood on the shirt and that
it matched carrie's blood type but the shirt was not put into evidence tracy took a polygraph test
in 1990 which was inconclusive he was scheduled to take another test but it was canceled after
he was hospitalized due to severe mental health issues which he claimed caused him to forget the
last ten years of his life because of this he has never been asked to take another polygraph test
heather spranger of the racine county sheriff's office is the current investigator on the case
she said that when detectives learned that tracy replaced the bed and couldn't locate
the original mattress the investigation turned from police suspecting carrie left voluntarily
to suspecting something else she also stated that 1992 tracy's brother confided in someone
that tracy had killed carrie the person went to the police and reported it but tracy's brother
said it was a joke and that he had no knowledge of what happened to carrie investigators also
found that carrie and tracy were connected to a man who'd been charged with kidnapping and
murder in the 1960s they interviewed the man but concluded he was not a person of interest
after carrie disappeared her parents received a fake severed finger in the mail and a cd with
guns and rose's song used to love her on it the song contained the lyrics i used to love her
but i had to kill her no one was able to determine who sent the items to the family the investigation
into the disappearance of kerry o'brien krueger is still ongoing and no arrests have been made her
story has been featured on dateline nbc and the true crime podcast vanished i used to have a few
memories of her and now i think as the years have gone on those like little stop-motion snippets of
a movie have turned into memories of a memory so i you know it's really sad that sometimes
i i forget that she was a real person you know i have to remind myself that this isn't some
person in a movie or a book or a special that i'm seeing in 2020 like this was my
mother a living breathing person and and i missed out on all of that carrie's
family is still hopeful that one day they will have answers her sister molly said i love to
think that she is out there somewhere happy and healthy but in my heart i know that is not true
we all accepted that a long time ago if there is someone who knows something please come forward
sheriff spranger encourages anyone with information about carrie's disappearance or
whereabouts to contact her directly at the racine sheriff's office or anonymously at crime stoppers
number two daniel robinson it has been over six months and friends and family as well as
volunteers are still combing the arizona desert in search of 24 year old daniel robinson daniel
was last seen on june 23 2021 at around 9 15 a.m he was leaving job site in buckeye arizona where
he was working as a geologist friends and family described daniel as a scientist with
a passion for adventure he traveled often but would always check in with family along the way
which made his disappearance all the more concerning according to his family daniel
had plans to visit his family in july and was excited about the meeting he was seen by federal
law enforcement officials cleaning his jeep that morning and said that daniel seemed clear-headed
he also spoke with his colleague kenneth at a job site near sun valley parkway and cactus road
kenneth told police that daniel was acting strange during their 15-minute conversation daniel
reportedly said that things didn't make sense and stared into the distance before leaving abruptly
kenneth later contacted their project manager steve who said no one had seen or heard from
daniel that day by around 3 pm he still wasn't responding to texts or calls from work or family
so kenneth set out to look for daniel in the desert he found tire tracks that he believed to
be daniel's and followed them out west to a large desert area one of daniel's co-workers went to
daniel's sister's apartment in phoenix to check if he was there but he wasn't his sister then called
their father david robinson who called the buckeye police department to report daniel missing but the
police had a policy that missing persons could only be reported after 12 hours of disappearing
so he had to wait another three hours before calling back and putting in the official report
then he packed a bag and headed to arizona from south carolina to search for his son himself over
the next few days the buckeye police conducted several ground searches and aerial searches near
daniel's job site searched his apartment reviewed his financial records and attempted to ping his
cell phone from a location and retrieved gps data from his jeep but there was no sign of daniel
police began to question daniel's mental state for his disappearance
according to reports all of the posts on daniel's instagram profile had been deleted before he
disappeared they also questioned whether a recent romance may have played a factor daniel had met a
girl while delivering groceries for instacart they swapped phone numbers and according to her daniel
began to get creepy and he would show up at her house uninvited and text her that he loved her
she told him to stop and the day before he disappeared he sent her one last message that read
the world can get better but i'll have to take all the time i can or we can whatever to name
it i'll either see you again or never see you again according to daniel's sister he had also
started listening to a podcast recommended by the girl and it changed the way he saw the world
the podcast by spiritual teacher and self-help author eckhart tolle showed him how to view
things in the world in a positive energy to avoid negative energy on july 19 2021 a rancher found
daniel's blue jeep renegade in a ravine less than three miles from his job site the jeep had rolled
over on its side and the airbags were deployed it also appeared that the sunroof had been kicked out
inside there was evidence that the driver had been wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash
also found inside the vehicle were several of daniel's belongings including his cell phone
wallet keys and the clothes that he was wearing on the day that he went missing police suggested
to david that daniel might have run away from his family to become a monk or join a cult somewhere
but david didn't buy it frustrated by what he believed to be a lack of progress and effort made
by the police david hired former police officer and vehicular crime investigator jeff mcgrath
to help him find his son mcgrath's team ran an analysis on the vehicle according to the jeep
system the vehicle was involved in a collision around 1 pm on the 23rd approximately 4 hours
after daniel was last seen but no one knows what happened during that gap in time their report also
uncovered a few abnormalities according to mcgrath after the airbags came out somebody turned that
ignition over at least 46 more times that's not normal we usually see one or two because because
it adds one when we download the box we have to put power to it there's an additional 11 miles on
the car since the airbags deployed so that tells me the car was driven around after they crashed
they also found that the damage on the jeep didn't match the terrain by looking at the photographs it
doesn't match the area sometimes those could be a staged event and that this looked like a staged
event to me a few months later buckeye police ran their own analysis on the vehicle according to
their findings the jeep was involved in a rollover crash which was the only car crash recorded in
the vehicle system the jeep speed increased right before the impact leading investigators to believe
that the driver was attempting to drive up the other side of the ravine more than 40 ignition
cycles were recorded after the crash which could indicate the driver trying to restart the engine
though it's unclear how many of those ignition cycles occurred during the tow recovery
police also stated that the 11 mile discrepancy between the crash data report and the odometer
reading wasn't as strange as it may seem we had the national expert that came in and provided us
his findings and then they ended up speaking to an expert at jeep and the expert says yes sometimes
that happens and it's not unusual in july of 2021 a human skull was found south the jeep crash
but it was later determined that the remains did not belong to daniel
additional remains were also found during the search but they belonged to animals
according to david several other human remains have been found in the area during their search
for daniel david recently called for daniel's case to be changed to a criminal investigation
due to what jeff mcgrath and his team uncovered about the crash on the change.org page he runs
david says since my son has been reported missing the buckeye police department has done very little
the shortcomings of the buckeye police department have been plentiful
unfortunately i have found that they have lied or approached the investigation in a nonchalant
manner on several occasions daniel's family and friends continued to search for him in arizona
supported by a crew of volunteers daniel is described as 5 8 african american man
approximately 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes he is missing part of his right forearm
including his hand the family has set up a change.org petition and gofundme page to
gather donations and increase interest in the case they also run the website pleasehelpfinddaniel.com
number three tisha and dyer
the hood river county sheriff's office in oregon is looking for answers to a decades-long cold case
in june of 2003 human remains a skull and mandible bone were found off forest road 4410 on mount
hood just east of portland oregon when police discovered the skeletal remains they suspected
they belonged to a female victim of homicide but they knew it would take time to identify
the victim since at the time more than a hundred women had been reported missing in oregon during
the two years prior that process ended up taking 18 years but in 2021 the oregon medical examiner
was able to positively identify the remains as 36 year old tisha ann dyer according to family
and friends tisha was living in portland oregon at the time for disappearance but hadn't been
seen or heard from since 2002 mount hood where the remains were found is a remote area and her
family say that they couldn't think of a reason for trisha to be there as she wasn't an avid hiker
or involved in many outdoor activities the hood river county sheriff's office in partnership with
crime stoppers of oregon are offering a 500 reward for any information that leads to an
arrest in the case anyone with information regarding tish's disappearance and murder
can submit an anonymous tip at crimestoppers.com there is very little on this particular cold case
