of the night that everything happened and Mark went missing to air on the show.

While they were taking a break from filming the segment, a woman staggered up to one of the cameramen, Scott Judy.

She was clutching a crumpled missing persons poster in her hand, and she told him, he's dead, you know.

They found him shot in the head.

What the fuck?

Out of completely nowhere.

That's horrifying.

And just, like, what?

What?

It turned out that rumors had already started circulating among the Spring Breakers and South Padre that Mark had been found dead.

Moments later, one of the producers angrily escorted the woman out of the area and made sure she didn't come back, but it got everybody thinking.

Now, this segment was rushed to completion, and it aired on the show a few nights later, along with a 20-second PSA recorded both in Spanish and in English, telling viewers how they could help.

The episode did result in more than 150 tips called in by viewers.

Claiming everything from Mark was dead to Mark was seen working in a convenience store in California.

Not true.

None of the tips really led to anything, but according to Jim Schutz, it allowed investigators to see into the Mexican side by tracking what the Mexicans were doing with tips from the show.

So they didn't have jurisdiction there, but now that community is able to kind of talk to them a little bit.

So it's giving them something.

Yeah, for sure.

They really hadn't made any more progress on the case than the American counterparts.
