Welcome back everybody.

7
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,720
Welcome back Cold and Missing.

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,960
We are here for you again.

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:47,360
Yes, it is our 11th episode, which is very exciting because we have officially beat Podfade.

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,000
So we're past it, baby.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
We made it.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Yeah.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Wow, freshman year, we're into sophomore year.

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,960
Can't wait till we're at, no, I don't ever want to have senioritis when it comes to this.

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,520
So scratch that.

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Scratch the whole-

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,520
Scratch the analogy.

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Scratch that.

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,520
We're excited.

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,520
We're here.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,520
Yeah.

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,680
And if you've been following along on our Instagram, you've probably seen there has

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,040
been some updates in the Abby Williams and Libby German case, which we just covered two

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,040
weeks ago.

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,720
And it's been an arrest made.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,860
So this is very exciting.

27
00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:26,820
Right now we don't have much to tell you.

28
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:32,880
So this episode, we're recording this on Sunday and it will come to you Monday morning.

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,600
Happy Halloween everybody.

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:41,120
But the press conference, the updates in the Delphi case will be happening Monday morning

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,080
at around 10 o'clock.

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,520
So we're going to be watching it and we'll bring you a bonus updated episode.

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,200
We're hoping Monday in the afternoon you'll get a nice little bonus, extra cold and missing

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,080
on Halloween, happy Halloween.

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,800
And we plan on covering this case until it's officially closed and then it's no longer

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,800
cold and missing.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Absolutely.

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,880
I feel like you all should know that Ali's playing it very cool while she's talking about

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,200
it right now.

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,640
But throughout the development of this news dropping surrounding the Delphi case, I got

41
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:16,640
a call from work.

42
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,000
I got a few calls after that where she was calling me.

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,800
I got home and it was all she could talk about.

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,880
She has dedicated so much time to giving information, accurate information about what happened to

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,600
these two poor young people.

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,600
So yeah, Ali's awesome.

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,600
She's doing great work.

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,800
What we can tell you right now about what we know is his name is Richard Allen.

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160
He has been arrested in connection with the case.

50
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,760
We don't know officially what he's been charged with as of us recording right now.

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,940
He is a Delphi native.

52
00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:56,760
He lives and works there.

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,960
He worked at exactly like you said a few years ago.

54
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,640
I always said from the beginning, this was going to be somebody local to Delphi.

55
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,160
You called it.

56
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,920
And he also worked in Delphi.

57
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,280
So he was working at the CVS in town, which is one of the few places I mentioned in our

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,000
episode as the amenities of Delphi, but that's exactly where he was.

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Hello.

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Wow.

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,660
Detective on our hands right here.

62
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:28,960
So that's what we know as of right now that we can confirm is true.

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,480
We do know that he's married.

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760
It does appear that he had a daughter.

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,960
So this is somebody who played the role of a community member well, and it's finally

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,960
caught up.

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Yikes.

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,960
It's finally caught up.

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Hopefully, and again, innocent until proven guilty, but I am very interested to see what

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,120
the police think about this, what they know about their casework.

71
00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:00,660
So very excited, very excited for these families to have an update and to move towards justice

72
00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:02,980
in some sense.

73
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:07,840
So watch out for that bonus episode coming to you later today when you're listening to

74
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,840
this.

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,240
I can't imagine the way this is shaking the community there.

76
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Yeah.

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,260
I mean, it's even if you didn't know the girls, it's such a small community that you feel

78
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:20,920
protective of everybody in it.

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,840
But then if you did know Richard, that's got to make you just look back at every single

80
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,360
interaction, no matter how small, even if you were just getting your prescriptions filled

81
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,720
at the CVS, like this is somebody that you were seeing all the time.

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,480
So 100% correct and we will absolutely dive into that in our bonus episode.

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Yeah.

84
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,880
So very excited to hear what the press conference is about.

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Make sure you are subscribed and we will drop that just as soon as it's ready later today.

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,720
But in the meantime, we're back on track.

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,960
So this week we're going to be covering the case of Kimberly and Yohe.

88
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,600
She goes by Kimi and this takes place in Edders, Pennsylvania.

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,800
And this is a pretty small community.

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,600
So this is about two hours west of Philadelphia and it sits on the Susquehanna River.

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Susquehanna.

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Susquehanna.

93
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,060
I had to look up how to pronounce it.

94
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:17,680
Very fun to say.

95
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,720
And this takes place May 8th, 1996.

96
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,200
So just a little background information about Kimi.

97
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,660
Kimi is 20 years old.

98
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:31,700
She was born August 29th, 1975.

99
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,000
And she's described by friends and family as happy and outgoing.

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,440
She loved traveling, roller skating and playing pool.

101
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,560
And I'm like, girl, let's hang.

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,960
I love to do all that.

103
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,320
She has lots of friends in her life.

104
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Two of her friends are quoted in the paper.

105
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,400
They wish to remain anonymous at that time.

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,360
But her one friend is quoted as saying, quote, she was a people person.

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,800
She just liked going out and having fun, meeting new people, seeing new places, end quote.

108
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,800
And her other friend says, quote, me and her have been through a lot together and she was

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,520
always there to listen.

110
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Never turned her back on a friend ever, end quote.

111
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,160
That one's really good at me.

112
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,920
So she was a really good friend.

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,380
That's all anyone could really say about her.

114
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:22,720
She graduated from Redland High School in 1993.

115
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,840
In 1996, she's working as a customer service rep for electronic data systems.

116
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:32,760
And she has two siblings, Dana Yeoh and Brian Yeoh.

117
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920
And her parents are Richard and Lula.

118
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Wow.

119
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,080
I love that name.

120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Lula.

121
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,080
I know.

122
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,080
More people should be named Lula.

123
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,080
And she had siblings?

124
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,600
Wait, what is this one again?

125
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,600
I already forgot.

126
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Is it cold?

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200
It's cold.

128
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
So we don't know.

129
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,200
No.

130
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,200
We don't know.

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
I'm already stressed out.

132
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:04,520
So in 1996, she's still living with her family and they live at Skyview Mobile Home Park on

133
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Ridge Road there in Etters, Pennsylvania.

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640
And this mobile home park is still there.

135
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,540
I was able to pull it up on Google Maps.

136
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:16,680
And also I love anytime anything's named Skyview, I'm like, of course you've got a view of the

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,680
sky.

138
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,680
Yeah.

139
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Skyview.

140
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,680
Skyview.

141
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,560
It sounds like a town in a teen movie.

142
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,560
Skyview High.

143
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Yeah.

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320
I feel like there was a Disney superhero movie.

145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Sky High.

146
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,320
Sky High.

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Yeah.

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Was that real?

149
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Yeah, that's real.

150
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,320
We were the Xenon Girl of the 21st century.

151
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,840
That was our Disney heyday.

152
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Yeah, it was a little after my heyday.

153
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,440
And Tia and Tamara.

154
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Truly.

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,320
So in 1996, she is 5'2", 130 pounds, has wavy dark brown hair.

156
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040
She has manicured nails.

157
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,460
They're painted white with a rhinestone on each finger.

158
00:07:55,460 --> 00:08:01,680
And she also has a tattoo between her hips of leafy vines with flowers and a colorful

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,680
hummingbird.

160
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Nails.

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,480
We're making a statement.

162
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,480
We're fancy.

163
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,480
It's 1996.

164
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,480
I love it.

165
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Yeah.

166
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,480
I love a manicured moment.

167
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Yeah, I love a white manicured nail.

168
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,280
I had those in my senior pictures so you can see me.

169
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,280
I have those.

170
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Like white painted nails or like French manicures?

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,960
French manicure.

172
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,960
Yeah.

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,960
Oh yeah.

174
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,960
Oh yeah.

175
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,960
The grip that French tips had on me in high school was strong.

176
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,880
I was like, how could I get any other nail?

177
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
We were narrowing our bodies.

178
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:44,880
We were baking ourselves in what are those fucking, those tanning booths.

179
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,960
And putting acrylics on ourselves, wearing heels to school.

180
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,280
And you could buy cigarettes at 18.

181
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,280
What a time.

182
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,280
What a time.

183
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Can't you now?

184
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Most places you have to be 21.

185
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Illinois have to be 21.

186
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,480
I should know, but I've been- Over 21 for a while.

187
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,680
So let's get into this.

188
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:09,160
So Wednesday, May 8th, 1996.

189
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,440
Kimmy's last scene at her family home around 8 PM.

190
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,120
And her family is not going to report her missing ever.

191
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,800
All right.

192
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,520
It was apparently pretty common for Kimmy to kind of go and stay at a friend's house

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,400
for a little bit, not be in contact with her family.

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,820
But the police spokesman Lucian Southard, he's quoted as saying, quote, at times she

195
00:09:33,820 --> 00:09:34,920
stayed with friends.

196
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
It was not unusual behavior that she should be missing.

197
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Their concern grew as time lengthened.

198
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:49,400
So it does seem unusual that she would have been gone for about two weeks, roughly.

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Before anything was done?

200
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,440
Yeah.

201
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,760
And they didn't hear anything from her?

202
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,760
No.

203
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Okay.

204
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,820
I was already giving the excuse in my head, like it's 96, so there's not the same access

205
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:06,240
to a mobile device.

206
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,240
Right.

207
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
But two weeks?

208
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
It's interesting.

209
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,120
So on May 22nd, 1996, this is two weeks after she was last seen.

210
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:24,280
At around 7.30 PM, some people are fishing on the east bank of the Susquehanna River,

211
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,060
about one mile south of the borough of Dauphin in Middle Paxton Township.

212
00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:34,080
And so this is about 40 minutes north of Kimmy's home.

213
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:41,400
And find the partially submerged body of Kimmy O. And she's only wearing white athletic

214
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:47,140
socks and she was bound with her arms behind her back.

215
00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:50,760
So she wasn't ever reported missing.

216
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,560
They find her.

217
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,960
No.

218
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,920
I thought this feels like a trick, Al.

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,960
I thought it was cold in a different way.

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,240
Damn.

221
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,960
So the fishermen call this in and police start their investigation.

222
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:16,080
And then around 10 o'clock that night, they find Kimmy's car, which is a 1987 Mazda at

223
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Gables Truck Stop in West Hanover Township, Pennsylvania.

224
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:27,760
And in her car are Nike shoes hanging from the rear view mirror, dents on the right front

225
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,480
fender and several stuffed animals in the car.

226
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Does she have kids?

227
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:34,680
No.

228
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,800
But she's 20.

229
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Like I still had stuffed animals when I was 20.

230
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
I know.

231
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
We still have like our little stuff.

232
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,160
He's like, I'm not judging that.

233
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,720
Just that like the car is like filled with them?

234
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,060
It didn't say filled with them, but there was more than one.

235
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:53,240
And the car is 22 miles of where her body is found.

236
00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:00,520
So the manager of Gables Truck Stop, his name is Tom Philippi, said he recalled seeing the

237
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640
truck several times over the last several months.

238
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:09,720
And it is reported that Kimmy used to go to Gables Truck Stop often.

239
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Like it was a place you could go and eat, you know?

240
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,120
So she had frequented it there before.

241
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,720
And Mary Howell, a server at the truck stop, said that she had waited on Kimmy about two

242
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,040
weeks before.

243
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
So this would have been around the same time that she was last seen by her family.

244
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,120
Oh, okay.

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,120
So that puts her near there.

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,120
Yeah.

247
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,560
So she was at the truck stop at least two weeks before.

248
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:35,360
Mary said she remembered this because Kimmy had paid with a credit card and her last name

249
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,120
had stuck out to Mary.

250
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,520
But Mary had not noticed the car in the truck stop parking lot.

251
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,640
She said it was normal for cars to be left there for days while truckers went on runs.

252
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,920
And Mary hadn't noticed the car until the police were actually there impounding it.

253
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720
So that was the first time she took note of the car.

254
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,520
It's not clear how long her car was sitting there.

255
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Had it been there for two weeks and Mary, you know, just is so used to cars sitting

256
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,540
there for a long time, like wouldn't take notice of the cars in the parking lot or if

257
00:13:08,540 --> 00:13:09,840
it had been dumped recently.

258
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Wouldn't the autopsy tell?

259
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Like if the food in her stomach was the same as like if she had been there at two weeks

260
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,160
and if they opened her up and it was the food that she had digested at that day, wouldn't

261
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,880
they be able to see that the food was from that place?

262
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:33,720
I don't know this for sure, but I think they can only do contents of the stomach if they

263
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,880
find the body within a short amount of time after death.

264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,280
Oh, that makes sense.

265
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Yeah.

266
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Cause you have stomach acid and stuff.

267
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:48,560
And even after you die, I'm assuming some of that still does what it's supposed to do.

268
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:49,560
Yeah.

269
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:50,560
Like your body starts breaking down.

270
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,880
I'm really impressed with myself that I thought that though.

271
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,880
Yeah.

272
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,000
I mean, they might have that information, but we don't know that.

273
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,720
But it is pretty clear that police do not know Kimmy's last days.

274
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,560
So we don't really know when she went missing, when she went to the water, when she died.

275
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:17,200
On Thursday, this is the next day after her body is found, Kimmy's autopsy is performed

276
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080
and the matter of death is strangulation.

277
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:26,320
They found several lacerations to her head and there were also ligature marks on the

278
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,660
neck and right ankle and then other signs of severe trauma.

279
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:39,120
Police believe her body was in the water for five to nine days and they were able to ID

280
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Kimmy from her fingerprints because there was a set of her fingerprints on file from

281
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,140
when she had applied for a job at a private security firm.

282
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:52,560
So that's how they ID'd Kimmy because nobody has reported her missing at this point.

283
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,980
Got it.

284
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:58,160
So Friday, May 24th, police announced her homicide.

285
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120
So this is the first time it's really hitting the papers.

286
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,080
I assume at this point they've notified her family since they know who she is.

287
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:13,120
And then the next day on May 25th, reporters had gone to the mobile home park and was

288
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,620
interviewing neighbors.

289
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:19,540
And again, this neighbor wished to remain anonymous, but he said he had daughters and

290
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:21,960
nieces who played with Kimmy.

291
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,740
He says, quote, I was not surprised.

292
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:26,520
She was gone most of the time.

293
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,160
What I know you wouldn't want to print, end quote.

294
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,880
And the reporter seemed to get out of that was that she was hanging out with the wrong

295
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,880
crowd.

296
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,880
What?

297
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:46,720
The first thing I thought was, what do you know about this?

298
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Yeah.

299
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,920
Not anything about her, but about whoever did this to her.

300
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Yeah.

301
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,920
That's the first thing that I thought.

302
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Yeah.

303
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,040
He says, what I know you wouldn't want to print.

304
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,560
And I believe that's in regards to Kimmy.

305
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,480
What I know about her, you wouldn't want to print.

306
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,040
I thought that maybe they were referencing her home life or whatever.

307
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,040
What I know about this family.

308
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,120
That it was internal, that someone in the family did it.

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,120
What I know.

310
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,080
Oh, I took it as, because he says, quote, I was not surprised.

311
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,240
She was gone most of the time.

312
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,600
What I know you wouldn't want to print.

313
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,960
So since it was all talking about her, I took it as she was gone most of the time.

314
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,200
What I know, she was into X, Y, and Z. You wouldn't want to print that.

315
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,600
That's how I took it.

316
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,040
And the reporter seemed to take it like she was hanging out with the wrong crowd.

317
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,960
But yeah, it's pretty vague and a weird thing to say after somebody dies.

318
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,960
Regardless.

319
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120
Men say stupid shit.

320
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,120
All the time.

321
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,120
Truly.

322
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,520
I say this as a man.

323
00:16:52,520 --> 00:17:01,400
So the next week on May 29th, Kimmy's obituary is ran and it has her date of death as May

324
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,640
14th.

325
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:09,240
I don't know if this is coming from the day they truly believe that she died or if they're

326
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,120
just kind of cutting the difference from the time she was last seen to how long they think

327
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,400
she was in the water.

328
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:21,520
Because she was last seen May 8th and so that would be eight days till May 14th, the day

329
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
that they are reporting she died.

330
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,600
And then she was found May 22nd.

331
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,400
Again, eight days.

332
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,920
But there's still so much vagueness.

333
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,800
So I don't think she died May 14th.

334
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,680
Maybe she did, but I don't think we are 100% solid on that fact.

335
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:46,480
Because where was she from May 8th until she potentially went in the water on May 14th?

336
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Or the 13th if they think it was the full nine days, it would have been the 13th, the

337
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,480
earliest she could have been put in the water.

338
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,300
But then the next day, Thursday, May 30th, her funeral is held.

339
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:03,800
And then the next day the police have a press conference where they're asking the public

340
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,160
for more information if they had seen Kimi in the following weeks.

341
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,480
Lucian Southard says, quote, more than likely where she was found was not the homicide scene.

342
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,840
So police very quickly do not think she was killed at the river.

343
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,320
They believe she was just dumped there and the murder happened somewhere else, which

344
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,400
makes sense.

345
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Police are also talking with other agencies to see if there are any other similar crimes

346
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:36,040
because this seems like somebody who knows what they're doing.

347
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,680
I don't know.

348
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:45,400
As bad as it sounds, if she was found, obviously you weren't doing that good of a job.

349
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:53,040
But sometimes people who are unwell, they want their terror to be found.

350
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,040
That's the whole point.

351
00:18:54,040 --> 00:19:01,280
But yeah, police are not yielding any other similar crimes in the area, anything like

352
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,280
that.

353
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,520
So after her funeral, nothing really happens.

354
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,920
At the one year mark, her story is run again in the newspaper, but police have no new leads.

355
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,560
They basically kind of just repeat the same thing of they believe she was killed somewhere

356
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,680
else and then dumped in the river.

357
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Her mother, who had been pretty private in her grief at the one year mark, sat down with

358
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,240
reporters and she is quoted as saying, quote, I can't understand how someone could do something

359
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,080
like that, end quote from Lula Yeo.

360
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,000
And the police also say that there is a lack of physical evidence.

361
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,400
So they don't really have anything at this point in 1996.

362
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:47,060
Or sorry, at one year it's 1997, but they didn't have anything in 1996 either.

363
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:49,960
So then case really goes cold.

364
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:56,120
No news, no news, no news until 17 years in 2013.

365
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:04,680
On October 31st, 2013, a local news station runs her story and sit down with police again.

366
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Police say in 2013 that they are resubmitting evidence for further DNA analysis and testing

367
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:18,160
because from 1996 to 2013, DNA testing grown leaps and bounds.

368
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,880
I love journalism.

369
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,800
Even just this, that like someone brought it up again.

370
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,160
Someone wrote about it.

371
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,320
You know?

372
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,320
Yeah.

373
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:34,560
And at this time in 2013, police are also submitting her case to the FBI, who at this

374
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,360
time had a trucker serial killer initiative.

375
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:46,640
So they were combing through cold cases and other crimes to see if there could be like

376
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,080
a trucker serial killer.

377
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,680
And there have been other trucker serial killers in the past, obviously.

378
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:59,480
But in 2013, the FBI was reviewing to see if there were any more, more cases that could

379
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,880
be linked.

380
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,440
So police submit her crime to see if they match any other.

381
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:12,340
No results from the retesting or of the FBI analysis.

382
00:21:12,340 --> 00:21:15,160
Maybe there are results, but they're not reported.

383
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,200
They're keeping those for the investigation.

384
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:25,040
But I would imagine if they were able to get DNA from somebody that was not Kimmy and they

385
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,640
put it into their national database and got a hit, that would probably make news.

386
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,640
But maybe not.

387
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,720
Maybe just like one hit of DNA is not enough to convict somebody.

388
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,720
You know, you need more.

389
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Yeah.

390
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,240
The presence of DNA can be circumstantial.

391
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,480
Yeah.

392
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:50,960
And so then at the 20-year mark, this or just shy of 20 years, so this is March 4th of 2016,

393
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,080
police ask for the public's help in piecing together Kimmy's last days, but they say they

394
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,920
have no new leads.

395
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:04,100
It seems they don't know anything more than what they knew when they found her in 1996.

396
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:07,840
So there is a lot of mystery in this case.

397
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Obviously, to me, I think the wealth of information lies in what happens between the time Kimmy

398
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:21,120
was last seen by her family and she was possibly waited on.

399
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,520
From when she was last seen to when her body went in the water, that's really the critical

400
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,160
time period that police know nothing about.

401
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,880
They don't, at least it's reported, they don't really know anything about her last days.

402
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,600
They might have a couple soft leads of talking with this friend or that friend.

403
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Yeah.

404
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,800
And there's really no coverage on this case.

405
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Like I said, when she first was found, there was several news stories, but I was surprised

406
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,480
for such a small town and this is such a brutal murder.

407
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,200
It's like one thing to strangle somebody, which is usually a personal crime, right?

408
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,320
Most strangulations are solved because they are personal.

409
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,240
Yeah, it's either personal or serial killer.

410
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,160
It doesn't tend to be something that's used in an attack.

411
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:19,400
Like in a B&E, a robber probably isn't going to come in and strangle you.

412
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:29,280
And the fact that her arms were bound behind her back, that to me maybe leans a little

413
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,800
bit more towards a serial killer because if you get in a lover's quarrel, whatever, passion,

414
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:42,520
heat of a moment kind of thing and you strangle somebody, like, okay, not great, not great,

415
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:48,520
but for arms to be bound behind the back, that seems like there was some torture involved.

416
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:56,720
She has deep cuts on her head and then ligature marks on her neck and then just the ankle.

417
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,800
That's really interesting.

418
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,080
Just the right ankle to me.

419
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,080
That's really...

420
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,520
It's that they got one, like there was something happened with the left foot where they couldn't

421
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,520
get it.

422
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Lacerations to me sounds like someone was like, you know, if you had a knife and you're

423
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,660
trying to get to someone, like if you are the attacker, I imagine if it's going awry,

424
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:21,600
you're going to be like slashing and trying to like scoop and grab with the knife, you

425
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,600
know.

426
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:29,640
So if you know anything about what happened to Kimmy Yohe, Kimberly and Yohe, if you know

427
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:38,760
anything, you are encouraged to call the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-472-8477 and you can

428
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,860
remain anonymous.

429
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:47,360

Technically later today.

449
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,800
Yeah, we're recording on Sunday, but it feels like in a few hours.

450
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,040
It feels like nighttime, like Monday right now.

451
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,840
I'm so discombobulated in this new dark space hut that I've built for us.

452
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Our recording studio.

453
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,840
It's very dark.

454
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,840
It's very cozy.

455
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,920
But yeah, thank you all so much.

456
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,660
Happy Halloween.

457
00:26:27,660 --> 00:26:29,160
Happy Halloween, you weirdos.

458
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,360
We bet you love it as much as we do.

459
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:33,360
Yeah.

460
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:41,080
Have a good week, y'all, and stay safe.
