Blaise sah nicht, wie er seinen Eltern erzählen konnte, worin er sich befasst hatte. Nach allem, er war jetzt ein College-Student. Jede Verzweiflung, die er in der Hochschule hatte, war wahrscheinlich nicht mehr auf dem Tisch. Alle, die es beobachten, war, dass Blaise das Haus etwas später am Abend verlassen hatte, um sich mit einem Freund zu treffen.
But the following morning, Blaze was scheduled for a dentist appointment. His mother, Jean, was actually planning to meet him there. But when she got to the waiting room and realized Blaze was a no-show, she sensed that something was wrong. It was completely unlike Blaze to miss a responsibility like that.
Now that he wasn't answering his cell phone either, it sent a chill down his mother's spine. So she rushed home, raced right to Blazes bedroom and that's when it was undeniable to her that something was really wrong here. Blazes retainer, wallet, keys and glasses were all still in his bedroom. As were his bags that he had brought home from college.
Which told Gene that Blaze wasn't planning to stay out overnight from the night before. Doesn't matter who he was with. But not only was Blaze not answering his phone, his Find My Friends app, meaning his location services of his phone, were no longer being shared with anyone. His location had been turned off.
So that's when Blaze's parents began calling every friend they could think of to try and find their son. But not a single one of his friends seemed to know where Blaze was or what he had done the night before. So next thing his parents do is call Verizon just to see if they can tell them where Blaze made any recent phone calls using his phone number.
Only they confirm that Blaze hadn't made any phone calls since they had last seen him. And when they check Blazes laptop, they don't find any text messages or Facebook messages that seem alarming either. So not only is there no sign of where 19-year-old Blaze went, it's also unclear who he met up with the night before. Which means the next stop is to the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Now, Blazes Mom says, at first, the Orange County Sheriff's Department did not seem too alarmed by Blazes disappearance. They actually tell her that 100% of the time that kids his age go missing, they are actually out on a, quote, booty call. So while I do 100% is a that's a crazy broad statement there. We could have just went to 99. You know what I mean?
So while they do get a missing persons report filed, it doesn't seem like there's this huge urgency for the police to begin an investigation that day. So the Bernsteins sort of feel like they're on their own for right now, which is when Gene and Gideon, his parents, get their 14-year-old daughter, Bo, to help them with another angle.
Because we all know any 14-year-old kid excels at social media, especially in 2018. And that's when she tells him, look, we should probably check Blaze's Snapchat account. Now the Bernsteins get lucky because Blazes username and password are saved in his iCloud Keychain on his laptop. So they don't actually have to try to get in or guess anything.
Ja, oder er hatte ihn einfach nicht auf seinem Computer. Also können sie in seinen Snapchat loggen. Und sie sehen, dass Blaze seine Adresse an jemanden sendet, die Nacht davor, bevor er vermisst wurde. Nun, sie wissen nicht, wer der User ist, aber sie senden dem User ein DM, sagen, hey, kannst du uns anrufen? Und dann sind sie einfach so glücklich, dass diese Person antwortet.
Und schockierend sind sie es. A short while later, they get a call from another kid in the area, someone Blaze had gone to high school with, a kid that they'd never heard of, named Samuel Woodward. Now they ask Sam, did you see Blaze last night? Like, obviously, you...
found our dm and called us and they tell him like he hasn't come home we're looking for any help we can get we just want to locate him and sam actually seems pretty cooperative with the family he tells gideon that he and blaze actually did see each other last night that it was super spur of the moment they both were in town and decided that they hadn't seen each other in a while and they should get together and catch up sam says so when we decided to hang out i drove over to blaze's house and picked him up around 11 p.m
But Blaze then asked Sam to drive him to a place called Borrego Park that's nearby so they could meet up with another one of his friends too. So quick synopsis. According to Sam, Blaze Snapchats him, gives him his address, Sam goes and picks him up. And then when he picks him up and they're driving, he says, actually, can we go to this park and meet up with another one of my friends?
And Sam said he did what he asked of him. Now, I do just want to clarify here, we are in a very typically safe area of Orange County.
So he and Blaze went to the park, according to Sam. They both got out of the car. Sam asked him, yeah, who are we meeting? And Blaze said, oh, you'll see soon. Then Sam claimed he went over to the public restroom in the park. But when he came back, Blaze was nowhere to be found. Sam's like, Did he wander off? So he strolled around the park for a bit, calling out for Blaze.
He didn't see or hear anything. So Sam just gets back in his car and he's like, what do I do? So he heads home and he doesn't see Blaze again after that. Now there's a few other messages that they found between Blaze and Sam that actually seem to corroborate this version of events. Because Sam sent Blaze a few Snapchats afterward that night asking, hey, where did you go? I can't find you.
What's going on? And before Sam hangs up on the phone with Blaze's dad Gideon, he says, quote, I'm sorry. I want to find Blaze as much as you do. So he seems like he can be trusted, but here's where things get strange. When Blaze's parents start calling around to Blaze's friends asking, hey, yeah, he was last seen with Sam Woodward. Do you know this guy? Was Blaze and him friends?
Well, his friends start saying, uh, this isn't a very good sign. Blaze's friends tell his parents, Sam Woodward is actually kind of a dangerous individual.
Also ein bisschen über 20-jährigen Sam. Er ging zur Orange County School of the Arts für High School mit Blaze. Und viele der Kinder da sagten, er war ein bisschen ruhig, ausgedrückt, er war definitiv ein Introvert, dass er nicht wirklich einen Grupp von Kindern hatte, mit denen er mitgehalten hat.
Im Grunde war er das polarisierte Gegenteil von Blaze in der Schule, der sehr sozial populär und ausgehend war. Vielleicht die einzige Sache, die die beiden zusammen hatten, war der Fakt, dass sie beide in Häusern wuchsen, wo Religion eine ziemlich große Teil ihrer Leben war. Für Blaise war es Judismus, aber für Sam Woodward... It was strict Catholicism.
