Chapter 4: What revelations come to light during the investigation?
Even if Mick managed to meet up with Anna, then murder her, could he have gotten rid of the body and driven her car all the way to SFO? Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend who's all pissed because her girl's sleeping around? Daddy promises some moolah. They half-ass their investigation. It goes away. You're supposed to be writing.
It's fine. I'll come home. Ryder, there are two contributions to the 1996 Maldonado campaign. These two companies. Thomas Bolden was on the board for both. Okay, look, I don't need the state and the district attorney suddenly banging on my door. We were trying to help you. I advise Robert Maldonado to no longer speak with you, and Officer Greer is under orders to keep this work internal.
Oh, they don't eat fish food, actually. Maybe it's not surprising that my son Indy loves to act and sing. He is, after all, the child of two performers. Oh, they don't eat fish food, actually. What is this next line? Based on my experience, the kids that really thrive as actors are the ones who do it for its own sake, not because they want to be famous.
So we've limited Indy's acting to classes and plays. But then after he appeared on a few episodes of my podcast, we were approached by a voiceover agent. Oh, it changed. Oh, they don't eat fish food, actually. Nope, they eat elephant shit. Get out of the way here. Now he's a working voiceover actor and we got auditions about once a week.
Indy loves it for the most part, but he's still a kid and sometimes he just doesn't want to audition. Just stand up, please. Indy, come on, please.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the mixtape in Anna's story?
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. If we just focus. I want to play my act. I know, but do you, hold on, hold on. Do you want me to read the other lines? Is that going to help you? What? Do you want me to read the other lines? No. Okay. Well, how did mom do the auditions while I was gone? Because you had like three while... She used the iPhone. I'm not doing that. You were gone for so long. I know.
Why couldn't I go? Well, I was working. We wouldn't have been able to hang out. Doing the podcast about the girl? Yeah. She was your friend? Yeah, well, her sister was. What happened? Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. No, your friend. The sister. What's her name? Willow. Did I meet her? Uh, no. I mean, I think there was one Fourth of July that she might have been there.
I don't remember. She died?
Chapter 6: How does the parking lot incident relate to Anna's disappearance?
Yeah. How? Uh, she was, you know, she was a very unhappy person. Can we get back to this? She was just a very unhappy person. She killed herself? Yeah. That's sad. And you never knew what happened to your sister? No, that's... That's why I was gone for those two weeks. I'm trying to look into this. But, um, come on. Can we just focus on this and do this? Why did you stop? It's complicated, buddy.
There are lots of people who don't want me doing this. Are they bad people? I don't think so. You know, there's just... I don't know. There's so many reasons. Dad, you should help. You have to help. That's the right thing. After this conversation, I couldn't decide if Indy was being naive or brave.
I mean, he was definitely coming from a place of innocence, but there's different meanings there, right? You can be innocent, as in foolish, immature, or you can be innocent, as in pure and honest, not corrupted by cynicism, by a world where powerful people get to do what they want and ignore questions. He was right. I should help. but I didn't know what that meant anymore.
I am actor and filmmaker Ryder Strong.
Chapter 7: What does the investigation reveal about Mick's alibi?
This is The Red Weather. Way to take someone's tragedy and make it all about you, Ryder. Now that it was public that this podcast was happening, social media posts and comments weighed in. Oh, this is my favorite. This is a vanity project of a washed-up child actor. Okay, you gotta stop. There's no point in reading this.
I knew my wife was right, but I couldn't help but think there might be something useful in here. Since none of the podcast was released, though, most of the comments were just about the irresponsibility of true crime and personal attacks on me. Which hurt, of course, but I try to put my own feelings aside and be optimistic. Maybe, just maybe, the attention might help.
Now that it was public, someone might come forward with information or want to get involved. But no, it had the opposite effect. Mr. Strong, my name is Yuri Donenfeld. I am an attorney with Warren, Tolan, and Shapiro. You should have received a letter from my office via certified mail. I had. From the letter. Your podcast appears poised to make unfounded and damaging claims about our client.
That would be Mick. Such claims, if broadcast, may constitute defamation under current statute. Basically, a cease and desist. All in all, it felt like the universe was telling me to sit down and shut up. I had been shut out of any official reopening of the case, assuming there was one, by Grace Laughlin, the current Sonoma County Sheriff. Please record your message.
When you have finished recording, you may have... Hi, Sheriff Maldonado, it's Ryder. And Sheriff Maldonado, who led the case in 1995, also wasn't returning my calls. I am still making the podcast, and I wanted you to know from me, to hear it directly, that I have been in touch with Monica Tremblain a few times, but... You know, I'm working on my own here. I'm making progress.
I felt compelled to distance myself from Monica because she had decided to publish information about contributions to Maldonado's 1996 campaign for sheriff. In my opinion, prematurely. It's not like I stopped them or anything. The most that I can do as a citizen is file a damn FOIA report. And that's what you did? You already did that? Yeah, so we could get the full campaign records. Yeah.
I'm not talking about anything legal or an investigation into the sheriff's department. That's up to the attorney general. Okay, okay. No, I just, you know, I started out, I'm trying to make a podcast. I'm trying to solve this thing, and I feel like we were getting somewhere with them, with their help. What?
Ryder, if they really cared about Anna and if they wanted to solve this cold case, they would have welcomed the transparency. Wouldn't they want to know where shit went wrong? It was still hard for me to believe that Maldonado in particular would go from helping me as much as he did to completely ignoring me. They should be like opening up their doors to you, to us.
But instead, the minute that you brought up McBoden, multimillionaire son of a multimillionaire, guess what they did? They turned on you. That was true. Mick had become the main person of interest in Anna's disappearance because of the mixtape. The tape had songs, movie clips from Wild at Heart and Badlands, and then Anna talked directly to Mick. I can do it. I can do it. You're my sailor.

Chapter 8: What challenges does the host face in confronting Mick?
Maybe he was dating this new girl, but had gotten back together with Anna and didn't know what to do. Was Anna, like, really into art? No, I don't think so. I have no memory of it. I checked in with my buddy Chris, who had started this podcast with me. I didn't think so either, but it's really weird because on the tape, she keeps talking about Van Gogh. I don't know.
Dude, here's the more important question. How's the feature coming? Oh, God, don't ask. I had been hired to write a horror script for a production company out of Austin, and at this point, my draft was weeks behind. Luckily, Chris thought he could help buy me some time. Well, I'll call David. I'll call David.
David was Chris's agent, who had actually introduced me to the producers in the first place. He reps those guys, at least Steven from Gear Haze. Oh my God, yes. Do you think David could hold them off? Yeah, I think you need to get your ass riding. But yes, if David comes at them with riders going through it, he's going through trauma, his old friend killed herself, trauma, trauma, trauma.
They'll cut you some slack. Yeah, I'm gonna call them. I'll call them. Oh my God, thank you. Thank you so much, man. You're a tortured artist, and that's why they want you to write their script and not some hack, but enough with the torture. You don't need any more torture on your torture plate. My wife couldn't agree more. Uh-uh, nope, can't hear that again.
She put a moratorium on listening to Anna's mix. But it's not bad music. What's the point? I don't need to hear it over and over again. It's not like the 454th time you're going to hear something new. But I still wanted to know what Anna was talking about on the tape. Okay, so why don't you write down what she says? That was actually a good idea.
I found software that transcribed everything, including the lyrics to all the songs. I now had a full text file, a readable and searchable version of the tape. Take a tape and you can find a better season. I wanted to read the song lyrics. I kept thinking, Anna chose these songs for a reason. Which is a big assumption, I know. Some people don't care about lyrics at all.
Doesn't matter what a song is saying if it's got a groove. That's the way Alex is. Hold on. Just listen to this one song, because I think this one's important. Brace myself. Go. Nope, nope, not into it. Okay, fine. But what is it about? I don't care. I can't get past the music. But I knew she liked Pearl Jam, which Anna had included. She put Daughter on here by Pearl Jam. You like that song?
I do. Okay. What's it about? Okay, what is Daughter about? All right, my interpretation, and stay with me here, I think it's about a daughter. but I couldn't help it. I kept thinking of the mix as a direct expression from Anna, like her own soundtrack, the musical of her life. So, like, did she listen to Daughter and think of her mom, Lainey?
I know that's how I thought of music when I was a teenager, especially if I made a mix for someone. If I included a song, it was because it expressed something I wanted to say to them or wanted them to understand about my life. I was locked into being my mother's daughter. I was just eating bread and water. I read the lyrics to Ani DiFranco's song, Out of Range, to Alex.
