While I'm in charge of sheriff's intelligence, they're fucking lying to me about what they're doing in homicide to shut this thing up.

They don't want me involved in it.

Oh, imagine.

You guys have stumbled into a cluster of shit.

Do you have any advice for us while looking into this disappearance?

I wouldn't do it alone.

In the event somebody did decide that you were getting too close to something, you will not be found killed.

You will simply disappear.

Early on, I let the suicide theory sit at 50-50.

As I've learned more and more, I'm at about 90-95% murder, 5-10% suicide.

I'm hearing shit on the street, man, that Audrey, he didn't commit suicide, he was murdered.

I'm hearing it from more than one person.

In other words, it's not safe not because of criminals.

It's not safe because of law enforcement, and there's nothing worse than that.

You've got to be careful where you go and who you talk to.

It's an all-out manhunt for John Augie.

Every search and rescue team in L.A.

County has been called in to help.

The 38-year-old went hiking Thursday in a rugged section of the Angeles National Forest known as Devil Punchbowls Park.

It's a beautiful but dangerous area, an area where it may be extremely difficult to find Augie.
