Chapter 1: What happened to Zebb Quinn on January 2, 2000?
Hey, weirdos. I'm Ash. And I'm Elena. And this is Morbid. Morbid. This is morbid, and man, there's a lot going on the last couple days. Do you know why? Because it's stupid daylight savings time. I fucking hate daylight savings time. I fucking hate it. Is this a polarizing opinion? I don't think so.
So I don't think it's polarizing to not like it because of the whole, like, you lose an hour thing. Yeah. But people love the longer days with more sunlight.
eye.
That's polarizing. I just polarized the shit out of this. I hate it.
Yeah.
I much prefer darkness. I want a longer night.
Yeah.
Give me a longer night. When the sun sets at four, I'm so happy.
Well, and I just, I get used to one way and then it flips the other way and it's pissing me off.

Chapter 2: What unusual evidence was found in Zebb's car?
I also just read something pretty cool that she's working on. I'm really excited. I can't say anything else, but it's really cool. Hang tight, everybody. All right. So let's get into the case today. This one, Dave found, Dave, our researcher. David. And I hadn't heard of this before, which makes sense because it was like in the 90s, but it carries on into the time when I was alive. Oh.
And like, you know, conscious. Yeah, conscious. And you were saying you weren't sure if you had heard of this case.
Yeah, I wonder if when I... I don't know what it's about. I've only seen the title of this. So maybe when you're talking about it, it might...
ring a bell i wonder if it will ring your bell but it's it's crazy like i'm excited to get into this one and thankfully i will tell you it is solved but there is still a lot of mystery surrounding the case it's it's strange interesting So in the late fall of 1999, 18-year-old Zeb Quinn was in the market for a new car. For two years, he was working at the local Walmart after school.
And on weekends, he was always working. And he managed to save a solid amount of money. So on January 2nd, 2000, one of his former co-workers, Jason Owens, visited Zeb at Walmart and said, hey, I know this guy who's selling a car. I think you might like the car. Do you want to check it out? We can go tonight after you get off work. Yeah. So Zeb was like, hell yeah, I've been looking for a car.
Let's go. So a short time later, they were seen walking out of the store together. Out in the parking lot, they both got into their respective cars and Jason led the way to the home of a person who was selling the car with Zeb close behind him. Now, along the way, they stopped at a convenience store and then they got back on the road.
But not long after leaving the store's parking lot, Zeb apparently got an urgent message on his pager. Pager?
Danger. Holy shit.
Yeah, no, crazy. And he started flashing his headlights indicating to Jason, like, pull over. So Jason said on the side of the road, Zeb ran over and explained he got a message and he returned that call immediately. So, like, the plan was off. Now, Zeb apparently seemed uncharacteristically panicked about this call.

Chapter 3: How did Zeb's family react to his disappearance?
They've come up with like further reaching databases now. Or maybe even just to get to the hotel because they don't even know what hotel. So I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
So unfortunately, they came to a similar dead end with their search to determine where the fuck this sweet little puppy had come from. After visiting every shelter and breeder in the region, they were still no closer to knowing of the dog's origin or what, if anything, she had to do with the case. Yeah.
Now, in a 2012 interview, Sam said, It's always been such a great mystery where this dog came from. But from the moment that she was discovered in the car, Chuck Sams was taken with this little lab, and he ended up adopting her from the shelter that she was placed in, and he named her Katie. Oh, I love that so much. Katie the pup. I love that. Yeah, so at least you know the dog's safe.
Hell yeah. But where did she come from? That's the thing. Where did she come from? And what does she mean? What does she mean? I don't... You could... There's so many holes you can go down. Ugh. Yeah, it absolutely was. It was.
After the car was discovered, investigators released a statement to the press urging anybody who had seen that car in the previous two weeks to come forward, regardless of whether they thought they could help at all. Like just, if you saw the car, tell us.
Within a week, a local couple contacted Asheville police to say, hey, we saw somebody driving that car downtown a few days before it was discovered. They had been following the case in the papers and they had read the description of the car several times over. So when they saw that it seemed to be a matching vehicle a short time later, they wrote down the plate number and they called the police.
What badasses.
Good job.

Chapter 4: What were the suspicious behaviors of Jason Owens?
I'm like, what? You're like, huh?
Wow.
What a... I don't think we've really come across many cases like that. No. That...
I don't know even what – I'm so – There's so many unanswered questions.
Yeah, like the idea of the puppy makes sense for like their theory of like they wanted the car to be found. So I guess a puppy – But why – Barking makes sense.
The lips on the back.
But why did you want the car to be found? Right. Because –
why just make it disappear if you want to make it disappear right why the lips the lips where's the hotel key card from then whose jacket is that jacket is that like like what is going on and you can look it up you can see the picture of the lips drawn it's bizarre it's bizarre it's big too like it's very big it's like the whole back windshield and like the exclamation points is i'm like what does all this mean
I don't know if he just... And who drew that? It's like, does it all mean nothing? And you guys are just... It's like to fuck with people? Maybe it's just to like make people go down all these different roads and like distract from what was actually happening. I'm like, did people involved just think that they were like masterminds? And is that lipstick? And if so, whose lipstick is that? Right.
