Welcome back, Task Force, to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the supernatural. I'm your resident mystery enthusiast, Trevor Collins, and joining me, hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.
Oh, missing persons case. That's always rough. I feel like they're always very intriguing, but there's little to go on. Hence why they're missing. Yep, absolutely. You know, missing person cases are one of those things where if you had a time machine, I feel like there'd be a high percentage of people that would want to explore a missing person's case at some point.
Like if you have like, I don't know, I would say like five events that you can go back to. I feel like a missing person case would be like number four on everyone's list or something.
There's something darkly intriguing about it. And I think you're onto something because there's always some sort of hindsight where you're like, God, if we only knew that this, that, and the other happened at the moment when we were investigating, maybe we would have found them. So I feel like you're right.
Like a lot of people would want to go back because we feel like with that hindsight, we could have solved it. And I think that's what's so...
curious about these missing persons cases is because it feels like it's just right there like right at your fingertips I agree but out of reach what would be your top three oh god moments to go back to yeah I guess like overall like what would they be an overarching genre wise if you could genre them the top three Okay, it would be like huge historical moments.
I got to see a Colosseum battle, especially when apparently they flooded that thing and they put ships in there. That's good. That's good. I want to see that. That's good. Let me get like 30 seconds in the Dinosaur Times. You know what I mean?
That's one of mine. One of mine is Dinosaur Times. I just want to see a T-Rex.
