00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.440
Hello friends, Welcome to the latest installment of our Land
2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.880
of the Loss series. This time we're deving into the
3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.720
cases of Keesland Roberts and Caleb Smith. Now, with all
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.800
the bizarre and seemingly unexplainable disappearance stories were around on
5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.519
YouTube and other places these days, it's easy to get
6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.120
caught up in them and forget that these are real people,
7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.920
real possible victims, who had family and friends, loved ones
8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.920
whose lives were affected in every possible way by the
9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.320
person's disappearance. Could also be true that with all the
10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280
books coming out and again all the videos made and
11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.079
the information online about these cases, it's quite easy to
12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.320
become numbed or jaded to these stories to these people.
13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.479
Couldn't it also be true that maybe this numbness, this nonchalance,
14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.320
and somewhat boredom with cases like these, one after another
15
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.079
after another after another, would be exactly what who or
16
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.159
whatever is involved in orchestrating these disappearances and murders counts on.
17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.079
In this episode, we're going to discuss two different cases
18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.239
that have a strange similarity and also a bit of
19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.840
a connection. Please keep in mind, though, that these are
20
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.200
real human beings, and though their cases may or may
21
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.519
not be similar to those you've heard over a thousand
22
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.000
times already. Be shuren't pay attention to the details here.
23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.920
Listen closely and focus on the similarities and strangeness of
24
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.920
both of these cases, while being sure to bear in
25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.280
mind that there's one big difference. One of them could
26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.079
very well still be alive and one of them, unfortunately
27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.799
has already been found deceased. Let's start with the tragedy
28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.719
of Caleb Smith. On January fifteenth, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith
29
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.159
told his grandmother that he was driving to Rome, Georgia,
30
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.400
has been the day hanging out with some friends who
31
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.760
lived there. This wasn't anything else the ordinary for the
32
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.519
twenty one year old, so when he requested that she
33
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.480
leave the dead bolt to the front door of their
34
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.680
house unlocked for him so he could re enter when
35
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.400
he got back home later on that night, she happily
36
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.360
obliged and thought nothing of it. Little did she know
37
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719
that while she would speak to her grandson at least
38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.000
one more time over the phone that same day, as
39
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.680
he walked out the front door of their house that
40
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.360
ill fated cold day in January, it would be the
41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.879
last time she would ever actually see him alive technically.
42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.800
The next day, at twelve thirty two am, Caleb entered
43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.759
the Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia. This was
44
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.919
on the way to Rome, Georgia. We know Caleb entered
45
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.439
this establishment at this exact time because he was seen
46
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.800
on the gas station's minimal surveillance footage. Three minutes later,
47
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.879
at twelve thirty five am, Caleb called his grandmother and
48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.719
informed her that he had to pull into the rest
49
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.319
stop because he realized he didn't have enough gas to
50
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.879
get to Rome as he'd initially plan. He told her
51
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.560
there was one man sitting at a table on the
52
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.080
other side of the restaurant that he was going to
53
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.319
ask to help him with five dollars for gas money
54
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.120
so he can continue on his journey to go and
55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.840
see his friends. Though his phone records have not been
56
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.439
made public at this time, Caleb is seen on the
57
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.360
same surveillance footage sitting at his table for a few minutes,
58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.039
seemingly sending text but possibly browsing the Internet. Caleb did
59
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.280
eventually get up and approach the man. Assumingly. He asked
60
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.240
the man for the five dollars for gas money, As
61
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.520
he told his grandmother he was going to do. However,
62
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.639
it is unclear whether or not the man gave Caleb
63
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.680
the five dollars, and Caleb actually ended up approaching the
64
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.800
man twice in a matter of just a few minutes.
65
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.599
Is still unknown exactly what the exchanges were between the
66
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.280
two men. No word either on whether or not this
67
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.719
man was ever identified a question no information one way
68
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.919
the others can be found. After approaching and speaking to
69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.759
this man the second time, Caleb returns to his own
70
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.599
table and sits down facing this unknown man. After just
71
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.680
a minute or two, Caleb gets up and leaves the
72
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.159
gas station rest stop area, never to be seen alive again.
73
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.240
When morning came and Caleb's grandmother that realized that his
74
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.960
bed had been slipped in, she became very concerned. If
75
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000
Caleb had planned on staying out, he never would have
76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.519
asked her to leave the dead bolt unlocked. Corn She
77
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.480
decided to go to the last place she knew him
78
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.480
to be when he wasn't answering his phone or returning
79
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
any of her text so she got into her own
80
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.040
car and drove down to the Flying J rest stop
81
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.519
and searched the surrounding area and the parking lot for
82
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.480
Caleb's car. She eventually found his car parked in the
83
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.839
Flying Jay parking lot, but in the back of the
84
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.759
Dennis restaurant building, assuming where the back entrance or garbage
85
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.399
eggs it would be. This location could be important because
86
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.199
it seems Caleb was parked almost purposely out of view
87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.920
of any of the surveillance cameras. His grandmother states that
88
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.000
she didn't immediately get out of her car to search
89
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.480
Caleb's car because she saw a suspicious looking white Nissan that,
90
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.839
in her words, she said, freaked her out and decided
91
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.680
it was safer to remain in her vehicle and too
92
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.279
Caleb's other family members, whom she had just called arrived.
93
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.480
She never elaborated on why this white Nissan was suspicious
94
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.639
looking to her or why it freaked her out so
95
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.720
although it speculated it was because the windows were tinted
96
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.680
very dark, and the vehicle had pulled in the park
97
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.480
directly facing her in front of her vehicle, and nobody
98
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.160
exited the Nissan. Immediately upon the arrival of the other
99
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.199
two family members she'd called to come and a sister,
100
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.639
the white Nissan pulled out of the parking lot. There's
101
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
no information regarding whether or not this white Nissan had
102
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.319
any involvement in what happened to Caleb. Upon searching Caleb's car,
103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.560
the family found it was unlocked. The cell phone and
104
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
battery were separated and both in the glove box. The
105
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.920
keys to the vehicle were on the floor underneath the seat.
106
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.680
Although Caleb had called his grandmother the previous night and
107
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.720
explained to her that he was almost out of gas,
108
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.800
his car had a half a tank of gas in
109
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.680
it when it was found. This would have been more
110
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.439
than enough to get him to Rome. Essentially, Aaleb called
111
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.920
his grandmother to explain about his being long gas for
112
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.079
seemingly no reason. It's been said that he did it
113
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.680
to give it reason as to why he would be
114
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.639
later than expected coming home if he was stuck trying
115
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.600
to get money for gas, but that hasn't been verified.
116
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.120
Caleb's jacket was also found in the car. It was
117
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.600
a very cold night in Georgia in the middle of January.
118
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.000
The family couldn't understand why would leave his jacket behind.
119
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.199
After searching his vehicle, his family called the police to
120
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.839
report Caleb is missing. Gordon County Sheriff's Office spent all
121
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.439
of the next two days January sixteenth and seventeenth, searching
122
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.439
the areas around the Flying Jay restop for any additional
123
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.480
evidence or for Caleb himself, with no results. It's also
124
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.160
worth mentioning here that the GCSO never processed Caleb's car
125
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.839
for additional evidence, forensic or otherwise, and immediately released it
126
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.199
to the family. On February third, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith's
127
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.959
body was found five miles away from the Flying Jay.
128
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.120
He was in the marsh and overgrown area of the
129
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.480
county between the Sugar Valley and Hill City communities. The
130
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.040
Sheriff's office reported that a passerby found him in a
131
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.600
heavily overgrown and poorly drained area. Caleb was completely naked,
132
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.399
and oddly enough, the fire department had been dispatched that
133
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.639
same area. His body was found earlier in the day
134
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.240
in response to a small brush fire, and didn't come
135
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.720
across Caleb's remains. This is another odd fact. Despite not
136
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.920
knowing whether or not this brush fire was connected to
137
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.920
Caleb's death or not, it was an incredibly wet few
138
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.360
weeks there in Georgia at the time, so for a
139
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.360
brushfire to have been started on its own was almost impossible.
140
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.480
The initial report stated, however, no immediate indications of violence
141
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.319
were regarding Caleb's body, and the GBI revealed that there
142
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.920
were no indications of violence or evidence of about play.
143
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.279
The results of the toxicology report were as follows. Caleb
144
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.560
died as a result of methamphetamine intoxication. There's no known
145
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.720
information as to whether or not Caleb ever had a
146
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.079
problem with any kind of drugs, and the death was
147
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.240
ruled accidental. If it weren't for something eerily similar happening
148
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.439
to a young woman just two days later at the
149
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.439
same exact Flying Jay gas station, that may have been
150
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.000
the end of Caleb's story. However, when you add up
151
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.920
to the similarities with a story I'm about to relate
152
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.360
to you, even when sprinkling in the differences, one can't help.
153
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.639
But wonder we in the true crime community know there's
154
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.720
usually no such thing as coincidence, and we all also
155
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.799
know that nobody knows this better than law enforcement. So
156
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
why exactly are they trying so hard to make us
157
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.120
believe that coincidence is exactly what seems to connect these
158
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.919
two cases? Are we really to believe that a young
159
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.200
man supposed with enough methamphetamine in the system to kill him,
160
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.159
stripped off his clothes, and then not only decided to
161
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.519
walk five miles into bitter cold, high and naked, but
162
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.000
then he managed to do so without calling any attention
163
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.519
to himself at all. Is it reasonable to think that
164
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.279
not a single person would noticed a naked young man
165
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.120
walking on the side of the road for an entire
166
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.000
five miles. There are so many facts that just do
167
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.639
not seem to fit with the accidental death throughly. Let's
168
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.720
review just some of them now. First of all, even
169
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.960
if we ask no questions and accepted that Caleb was
170
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.440
able to walk all that way without being noticed despite
171
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.480
the condition he was in both physically and mentally, keep
172
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.080
in mind Caleb was found completely naked. This means no socks,
173
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.720
no shoes, nothing. Are we also to believe that he
174
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.440
could have accomplished this naked and five mile walk without
175
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.759
not only doing no damage to but also not dirting
176
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.320
his feet at all. There is no explanation as to
177
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.639
why or how the police have been able to reconcile
178
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.600
themselves to calling this death with all the strange facts
179
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.480
and evidence an accident. Caleb was found in a very muddy,
180
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.799
marshy area, not even a drop of mud on his feet.
181
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.440
His clothes were never found either, but again there is
182
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.120
no information as to the extent of the police investigation
183
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.879
into where his clothes went either. Why wasn't Caleb's family
184
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.759
allowed to identify the body. Some say it's simply because
185
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.720
of the state of decomposition of the body after being
186
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.679
outside the marshland for so long, but others aren't so sure.
187
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.759
Remember this was during the cold winter in January. Speculation
188
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.399
and rumors surround this case, and it seems no one
189
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.720
knows enough to be able to separate fact from fiction.
190
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.559
Our research was only able to find two that weren't
191
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.080
absolutely off the wall wild conjectures and made just a
192
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.600
tiny bit of sense. The first of these theories is
193
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.559
that he may have gotten into someone else's car to
194
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.200
smoke the methamphetamine, a dealer, or perhaps maybe the man
195
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.799
he was seen on camera having multiple conversations with, who,
196
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.279
to the best of the public's knowledge, was never even found,
197
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.200
let alone questioned or investigated in any way, and it
198
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.440
tends to happen sometimes to people who've partake in this
199
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.360
particular substance. Caleb became overheated and started taking off his
200
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:02.120
clothes before anyone knew what was happening. Caleb started overdosing,
201
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.639
and whoever he was with, if he was with anyone,
202
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.799
didn't want to be involved in any way with this
203
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.759
overdose death for fear, especially if they were the one
204
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.440
that sold or gave it to him. But even if
205
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.919
they were just using with him and drove Caleb's body
206
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.360
to the marshland and left it there, did whoever this
207
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.559
person or people were think about DNA evidence or forensics
208
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.240
and possibly instead of Caleb stripping himself, did the perpetrators
209
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
or witnesses strip him of his clothes after he died
210
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.519
to eliminate any kind of touch or fiber evidence eventually
211
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639
coming back to link them or their car to his death.
212
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200
The fact of the matter is we just don't know,
213
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.879
and it seems as though if the investigators in this
214
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.559
case have it their way, we never will. Caleb's case
215
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.000
is officially closed at this point. Two days after the
216
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.919
incident with Caleb at this Flying Jay gas station, and eerily,
217
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.840
an almost shockingly similar disappearance happened. Many people who are
218
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.480
familiar with Caleb's case feel like what happened to Keithlyn Roberts,
219
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.120
or at least what everyone knows happened to her because
220
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.879
she has yet to be found, should have initiated at
221
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.159
least a little bit more investigation into his case. They
222
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.200
believe it should have led the police, as it did
223
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.399
for most of the public, into asking some serious questions
224
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:20.360
regarding that accidental death. Truly, so what happened to Keesln?
225
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.440
Let's find out now. Please keep in mind as we
226
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.639
go over the details that we know in her case,
227
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.159
that she is still considered missing and should be presumed
228
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.679
alive until it can be proven that she is not. So.
229
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.840
Paid close attention. On January eighteenth, twenty twenty, twenty one
230
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.399
year old young woman named Keesln Roberts was seen at
231
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.240
the same Flying Jay gas station, only she was encountered
232
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.639
entering an employee's only entrance in the back on the
233
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.519
Dennis side. Remember this is also where Caleb's car was
234
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.919
found the same Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia.
235
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.879
Some reports state that Keesln was simply told unemployeed that
236
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.320
she could not be back there in this employee's only
237
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.799
kitchen area entrance, and other states that she actually got
238
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.240
into some kind of altercation with the person who informed
239
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.440
her of this and was then told to leave. There's
240
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.000
nothing official to confirm or disprove either one of these statements. Remember,
241
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.039
there are no cameras in this part of the parking lot.
242
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.000
What is known, however, is that when she was told
243
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.039
or asked to exit the area, she was ledgedly just
244
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.159
standing there, staring blankly out the door she just entered.
245
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.679
Keeslan had dropped all of her belongings. These included a
246
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.039
backpack containing her ID, credit and debit cards, cash, and
247
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.120
phone charger, and ran off the employees of either the
248
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.519
gas station side or the Denny's side. Again, these reports
249
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.759
conflict ended up calling nine to one one and described
250
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.039
Keeslin as a suspicious looking young woman and described the
251
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.799
odd encounter. Keeslan was never seen or heard from again.
252
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.519
Where did Keeslyn go and how did she get there
253
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.840
without her car? Her vehicle was found two days later
254
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.039
on January twentieth, with more belongings inside, very near where
255
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
Caleb's car was found in the exact same parking lot.
256
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.960
Witnesses would later come forward stating that they had briefly
257
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.960
spoken to Keeslan that faithful night, and she had allegedly
258
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.120
told them she was there meeting a male friend. However,
259
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.279
this alleged meeting has never been elaborated on the person
260
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.120
she was supposedly meeting, and also her boyfriend were questioned,
261
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.039
but police shortly after she was supported missing, but so
262
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.639
far nobody has been named either suspect or even a
263
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.480
person of interest in the case. It's worth mentioning that
264
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.200
Keyslun did have a history with drug use, mainly methamphetamine,
265
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.120
and had blown off a mandatory probation appointment the day
266
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.039
before she went missing, resulting in a warrant being issued
267
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.559
for her arrest. Many speculate the Keyeslan so quickly fled
268
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.559
from the Flying Jay that day due to not wanting
269
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.679
to be there when the police were called, because she
270
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.240
would have been arrested on this warrant, but why not
271
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.720
take her car. More speculation had Keeslan possibly leaving the
272
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.159
gas station with a trucker, but again this hasn't been confirmed.
273
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.200
In early March or twenty twenty, when investigators searched the
274
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.840
Flying Jay and no idea why it took this long
275
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.720
for them to search the area her car was found
276
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.279
in in which she was last seen. They did find
277
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.879
items of clothing that belonged to Keeslin in a dumpster
278
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.600
behind the building. An anonymous witness who has been said
279
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.919
to be fully cooperative with police and not involved in
280
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.960
any way to her disappearance, came forward and told reporters
281
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.600
that these articles of clothing had been there the entire time,
282
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.039
but police were allegedly just getting around to searching for
283
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.200
and collected them as evidence now and now, meaning two
284
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.559
months later in March. Unfortunately, this is all the evidence available,
285
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.639
at least online in either case. Can it really all
286
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.159
be a coincidence that two young people, one a known
287
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.120
drug user and the other possibility found dead from intoxication
288
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.120
from the other's drug of choice, go missing from the
289
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.360
exact same gas station under early similar circumstances within two
290
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.320
days of each other. Is it also just happened since
291
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.679
that the two also live on the same street as
292
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.919
each other. Now there's no evidence that they even knew
293
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.840
each other, but still a little too much to overlook
294
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.600
if you ask most people involved with or following this case,
295
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.519
where is Keeslin? Did she meet the same fate as
296
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.360
Caleb and just hasn't been found yet? Was Caleb's death
297
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.919
truly an accident, and even if it was, someone obviously
298
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.759
moved his body at least, and at most they murdered
299
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.039
him and dumped it at the location where it was found.
300
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.759
Is he's running on our own and of our own
301
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.759
free will due to fear again of being arrested for
302
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:39.360
that probation violation and probable relapse. It's also worth mentioning
303
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.840
here that there have been several sightings of Keesln at
304
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.120
multiple truck stops in various cities across the country. However,
305
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.000
none of these have ever been able to actually be
306
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.639
confirmed as her. Now, as we mentioned, her clothes were
307
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.320
found two months after she was last seen fitting the scene.
308
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.519
So where did she go while naked? Also without anyone
309
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.879
seeing her? As the police are insinuating Caleb took a
310
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.519
live mile naked walk without being noticed too. Were her
311
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.920
clothes really there the entire time, as the anonymous and
312
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.599
seemingly cooperative witness claim to news reporters, or are they
313
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.720
dumped there after the fact for whatever reason. Currently, there's
314
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.279
a six thousand dollars reward for information that could lead
315
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.799
to keyslan s whereabouts. If you can help this investigation
316
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.279
in any way, or think you have any information, no
317
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.039
matter how small or insignificant it may seem, please contact
318
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.279
the Gordon County Sheriff's Department at seven zero six six
319
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.480
two nine one two four four. So what do you
320
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.279
think of this case? Are these bizarre circumstances simply coincidence
321
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.240
or is there indeed a connection here? I look forward
322
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.799
to reading your comments. As always, we ask that you
323
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.200
please be respectful in the comment section when discussing this case.
324
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.960
Many times family and friends of the victims do watch
325
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:00.000
these videos and read the comments, so please don't say
326
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.640
anything that you wouldn't say if it was your family
327
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.359
member or friend in this circumstance. In closing, be good
328
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
to yourselves and each other. I'm Steve Stockton and I'll
329
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.640
talk to you next time.

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.440
Hello friends, Welcome to the latest installment of our Land
2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.880
of the Loss series. This time we're deving into the
3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.720
cases of Keesland Roberts and Caleb Smith. Now, with all
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.800
the bizarre and seemingly unexplainable disappearance stories were around on
5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.519
YouTube and other places these days, it's easy to get
6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.120
caught up in them and forget that these are real people,
7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.920
real possible victims, who had family and friends, loved ones
8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.920
whose lives were affected in every possible way by the
9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.320
person's disappearance. Could also be true that with all the
10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280
books coming out and again all the videos made and
11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.079
the information online about these cases, it's quite easy to
12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.320
become numbed or jaded to these stories to these people.
13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.479
Couldn't it also be true that maybe this numbness, this nonchalance,
14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.320
and somewhat boredom with cases like these, one after another
15
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.079
after another after another, would be exactly what who or
16
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.159
whatever is involved in orchestrating these disappearances and murders counts on.
17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.079
In this episode, we're going to discuss two different cases
18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.239
that have a strange similarity and also a bit of
19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.840
a connection. Please keep in mind, though, that these are
20
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.200
real human beings, and though their cases may or may
21
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.519
not be similar to those you've heard over a thousand
22
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.000
times already. Be shuren't pay attention to the details here.
23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.920
Listen closely and focus on the similarities and strangeness of
24
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.920
both of these cases, while being sure to bear in
25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.280
mind that there's one big difference. One of them could
26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.079
very well still be alive and one of them, unfortunately
27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.799
has already been found deceased. Let's start with the tragedy
28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.719
of Caleb Smith. On January fifteenth, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith
29
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.159
told his grandmother that he was driving to Rome, Georgia,
30
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.400
has been the day hanging out with some friends who
31
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.760
lived there. This wasn't anything else the ordinary for the
32
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.519
twenty one year old, so when he requested that she
33
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.480
leave the dead bolt to the front door of their
34
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.680
house unlocked for him so he could re enter when
35
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.400
he got back home later on that night, she happily
36
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.360
obliged and thought nothing of it. Little did she know
37
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719
that while she would speak to her grandson at least
38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.000
one more time over the phone that same day, as
39
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.680
he walked out the front door of their house that
40
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.360
ill fated cold day in January, it would be the
41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.879
last time she would ever actually see him alive technically.
42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.800
The next day, at twelve thirty two am, Caleb entered
43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.759
the Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia. This was
44
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.919
on the way to Rome, Georgia. We know Caleb entered
45
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.439
this establishment at this exact time because he was seen
46
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.800
on the gas station's minimal surveillance footage. Three minutes later,
47
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.879
at twelve thirty five am, Caleb called his grandmother and
48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.719
informed her that he had to pull into the rest
49
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.319
stop because he realized he didn't have enough gas to
50
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.879
get to Rome as he'd initially plan. He told her
51
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.560
there was one man sitting at a table on the
52
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.080
other side of the restaurant that he was going to
53
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.319
ask to help him with five dollars for gas money
54
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.120
so he can continue on his journey to go and
55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.840
see his friends. Though his phone records have not been
56
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.439
made public at this time, Caleb is seen on the
57
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.360
same surveillance footage sitting at his table for a few minutes,
58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.039
seemingly sending text but possibly browsing the Internet. Caleb did
59
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.280
eventually get up and approach the man. Assumingly. He asked
60
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.240
the man for the five dollars for gas money, As
61
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.520
he told his grandmother he was going to do. However,
62
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.639
it is unclear whether or not the man gave Caleb
63
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.680
the five dollars, and Caleb actually ended up approaching the
64
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.800
man twice in a matter of just a few minutes.
65
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.599
Is still unknown exactly what the exchanges were between the
66
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.280
two men. No word either on whether or not this
67
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.719
man was ever identified a question no information one way
68
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.919
the others can be found. After approaching and speaking to
69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.759
this man the second time, Caleb returns to his own
70
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.599
table and sits down facing this unknown man. After just
71
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.680
a minute or two, Caleb gets up and leaves the
72
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.159
gas station rest stop area, never to be seen alive again.
73
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.240
When morning came and Caleb's grandmother that realized that his
74
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.960
bed had been slipped in, she became very concerned. If
75
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000
Caleb had planned on staying out, he never would have
76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.519
asked her to leave the dead bolt unlocked. Corn She
77
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.480
decided to go to the last place she knew him
78
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.480
to be when he wasn't answering his phone or returning
79
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
any of her text so she got into her own
80
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.040
car and drove down to the Flying J rest stop
81
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.519
and searched the surrounding area and the parking lot for
82
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.480
Caleb's car. She eventually found his car parked in the
83
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.839
Flying Jay parking lot, but in the back of the
84
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.759
Dennis restaurant building, assuming where the back entrance or garbage
85
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.399
eggs it would be. This location could be important because
86
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.199
it seems Caleb was parked almost purposely out of view
87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.920
of any of the surveillance cameras. His grandmother states that
88
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.000
she didn't immediately get out of her car to search
89
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.480
Caleb's car because she saw a suspicious looking white Nissan that,
90
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.839
in her words, she said, freaked her out and decided
91
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.680
it was safer to remain in her vehicle and too
92
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.279
Caleb's other family members, whom she had just called arrived.
93
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.480
She never elaborated on why this white Nissan was suspicious
94
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.639
looking to her or why it freaked her out so
95
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.720
although it speculated it was because the windows were tinted
96
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.680
very dark, and the vehicle had pulled in the park
97
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.480
directly facing her in front of her vehicle, and nobody
98
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.160
exited the Nissan. Immediately upon the arrival of the other
99
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.199
two family members she'd called to come and a sister,
100
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.639
the white Nissan pulled out of the parking lot. There's
101
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
no information regarding whether or not this white Nissan had
102
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.319
any involvement in what happened to Caleb. Upon searching Caleb's car,
103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.560
the family found it was unlocked. The cell phone and
104
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
battery were separated and both in the glove box. The
105
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.920
keys to the vehicle were on the floor underneath the seat.
106
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.680
Although Caleb had called his grandmother the previous night and
107
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.720
explained to her that he was almost out of gas,
108
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.800
his car had a half a tank of gas in
109
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.680
it when it was found. This would have been more
110
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.439
than enough to get him to Rome. Essentially, Aaleb called
111
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.920
his grandmother to explain about his being long gas for
112
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.079
seemingly no reason. It's been said that he did it
113
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.680
to give it reason as to why he would be
114
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.639
later than expected coming home if he was stuck trying
115
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.600
to get money for gas, but that hasn't been verified.
116
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.120
Caleb's jacket was also found in the car. It was
117
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.600
a very cold night in Georgia in the middle of January.
118
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.000
The family couldn't understand why would leave his jacket behind.
119
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.199
After searching his vehicle, his family called the police to
120
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.839
report Caleb is missing. Gordon County Sheriff's Office spent all
121
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.439
of the next two days January sixteenth and seventeenth, searching
122
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.439
the areas around the Flying Jay restop for any additional
123
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.480
evidence or for Caleb himself, with no results. It's also
124
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.160
worth mentioning here that the GCSO never processed Caleb's car
125
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.839
for additional evidence, forensic or otherwise, and immediately released it
126
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.199
to the family. On February third, twenty twenty, Caleb Smith's
127
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.959
body was found five miles away from the Flying Jay.
128
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.120
He was in the marsh and overgrown area of the
129
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.480
county between the Sugar Valley and Hill City communities. The
130
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.040
Sheriff's office reported that a passerby found him in a
131
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.600
heavily overgrown and poorly drained area. Caleb was completely naked,
132
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.399
and oddly enough, the fire department had been dispatched that
133
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.639
same area. His body was found earlier in the day
134
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.240
in response to a small brush fire, and didn't come
135
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.720
across Caleb's remains. This is another odd fact. Despite not
136
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.920
knowing whether or not this brush fire was connected to
137
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.920
Caleb's death or not, it was an incredibly wet few
138
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.360
weeks there in Georgia at the time, so for a
139
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.360
brushfire to have been started on its own was almost impossible.
140
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.480
The initial report stated, however, no immediate indications of violence
141
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.319
were regarding Caleb's body, and the GBI revealed that there
142
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.920
were no indications of violence or evidence of about play.
143
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.279
The results of the toxicology report were as follows. Caleb
144
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.560
died as a result of methamphetamine intoxication. There's no known
145
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.720
information as to whether or not Caleb ever had a
146
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.079
problem with any kind of drugs, and the death was
147
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.240
ruled accidental. If it weren't for something eerily similar happening
148
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.439
to a young woman just two days later at the
149
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.439
same exact Flying Jay gas station, that may have been
150
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.000
the end of Caleb's story. However, when you add up
151
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.920
to the similarities with a story I'm about to relate
152
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.360
to you, even when sprinkling in the differences, one can't help.
153
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.639
But wonder we in the true crime community know there's
154
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.720
usually no such thing as coincidence, and we all also
155
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.799
know that nobody knows this better than law enforcement. So
156
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
why exactly are they trying so hard to make us
157
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.120
believe that coincidence is exactly what seems to connect these
158
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.919
two cases? Are we really to believe that a young
159
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.200
man supposed with enough methamphetamine in the system to kill him,
160
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.159
stripped off his clothes, and then not only decided to
161
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.519
walk five miles into bitter cold, high and naked, but
162
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.000
then he managed to do so without calling any attention
163
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.519
to himself at all. Is it reasonable to think that
164
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.279
not a single person would noticed a naked young man
165
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.120
walking on the side of the road for an entire
166
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.000
five miles. There are so many facts that just do
167
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.639
not seem to fit with the accidental death throughly. Let's
168
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.720
review just some of them now. First of all, even
169
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.960
if we ask no questions and accepted that Caleb was
170
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.440
able to walk all that way without being noticed despite
171
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.480
the condition he was in both physically and mentally, keep
172
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.080
in mind Caleb was found completely naked. This means no socks,
173
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.720
no shoes, nothing. Are we also to believe that he
174
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.440
could have accomplished this naked and five mile walk without
175
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.759
not only doing no damage to but also not dirting
176
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.320
his feet at all. There is no explanation as to
177
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.639
why or how the police have been able to reconcile
178
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.600
themselves to calling this death with all the strange facts
179
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.480
and evidence an accident. Caleb was found in a very muddy,
180
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.799
marshy area, not even a drop of mud on his feet.
181
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.440
His clothes were never found either, but again there is
182
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.120
no information as to the extent of the police investigation
183
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.879
into where his clothes went either. Why wasn't Caleb's family
184
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.759
allowed to identify the body. Some say it's simply because
185
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.720
of the state of decomposition of the body after being
186
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.679
outside the marshland for so long, but others aren't so sure.
187
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.759
Remember this was during the cold winter in January. Speculation
188
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.399
and rumors surround this case, and it seems no one
189
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.720
knows enough to be able to separate fact from fiction.
190
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.559
Our research was only able to find two that weren't
191
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.080
absolutely off the wall wild conjectures and made just a
192
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.600
tiny bit of sense. The first of these theories is
193
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.559
that he may have gotten into someone else's car to
194
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.200
smoke the methamphetamine, a dealer, or perhaps maybe the man
195
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.799
he was seen on camera having multiple conversations with, who,
196
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.279
to the best of the public's knowledge, was never even found,
197
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.200
let alone questioned or investigated in any way, and it
198
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.440
tends to happen sometimes to people who've partake in this
199
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.360
particular substance. Caleb became overheated and started taking off his
200
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:02.120
clothes before anyone knew what was happening. Caleb started overdosing,
201
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.639
and whoever he was with, if he was with anyone,
202
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.799
didn't want to be involved in any way with this
203
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.759
overdose death for fear, especially if they were the one
204
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.440
that sold or gave it to him. But even if
205
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.919
they were just using with him and drove Caleb's body
206
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.360
to the marshland and left it there, did whoever this
207
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.559
person or people were think about DNA evidence or forensics
208
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.240
and possibly instead of Caleb stripping himself, did the perpetrators
209
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
or witnesses strip him of his clothes after he died
210
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.519
to eliminate any kind of touch or fiber evidence eventually
211
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639
coming back to link them or their car to his death.
212
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200
The fact of the matter is we just don't know,
213
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.879
and it seems as though if the investigators in this
214
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.559
case have it their way, we never will. Caleb's case
215
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.000
is officially closed at this point. Two days after the
216
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.919
incident with Caleb at this Flying Jay gas station, and eerily,
217
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.840
an almost shockingly similar disappearance happened. Many people who are
218
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.480
familiar with Caleb's case feel like what happened to Keithlyn Roberts,
219
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.120
or at least what everyone knows happened to her because
220
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.879
she has yet to be found, should have initiated at
221
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.159
least a little bit more investigation into his case. They
222
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.200
believe it should have led the police, as it did
223
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.399
for most of the public, into asking some serious questions
224
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:20.360
regarding that accidental death. Truly, so what happened to Keesln?
225
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.440
Let's find out now. Please keep in mind as we
226
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.639
go over the details that we know in her case,
227
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.159
that she is still considered missing and should be presumed
228
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.679
alive until it can be proven that she is not. So.
229
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.840
Paid close attention. On January eighteenth, twenty twenty, twenty one
230
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.399
year old young woman named Keesln Roberts was seen at
231
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.240
the same Flying Jay gas station, only she was encountered
232
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.639
entering an employee's only entrance in the back on the
233
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.519
Dennis side. Remember this is also where Caleb's car was
234
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.919
found the same Flying Jay gas station in Resaca, Georgia.
235
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.879
Some reports state that Keesln was simply told unemployeed that
236
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.320
she could not be back there in this employee's only
237
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.799
kitchen area entrance, and other states that she actually got
238
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.240
into some kind of altercation with the person who informed
239
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.440
her of this and was then told to leave. There's
240
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.000
nothing official to confirm or disprove either one of these statements. Remember,
241
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.039
there are no cameras in this part of the parking lot.
242
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.000
What is known, however, is that when she was told
243
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.039
or asked to exit the area, she was ledgedly just
244
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.159
standing there, staring blankly out the door she just entered.
245
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.679
Keeslan had dropped all of her belongings. These included a
246
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.039
backpack containing her ID, credit and debit cards, cash, and
247
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.120
phone charger, and ran off the employees of either the
248
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.519
gas station side or the Denny's side. Again, these reports
249
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.759
conflict ended up calling nine to one one and described
250
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.039
Keeslin as a suspicious looking young woman and described the
251
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.799
odd encounter. Keeslan was never seen or heard from again.
252
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.519
Where did Keeslyn go and how did she get there
253
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.840
without her car? Her vehicle was found two days later
254
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.039
on January twentieth, with more belongings inside, very near where
255
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
Caleb's car was found in the exact same parking lot.
256
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.960
Witnesses would later come forward stating that they had briefly
257
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.960
spoken to Keeslan that faithful night, and she had allegedly
258
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.120
told them she was there meeting a male friend. However,
259
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.279
this alleged meeting has never been elaborated on the person
260
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.120
she was supposedly meeting, and also her boyfriend were questioned,
261
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.039
but police shortly after she was supported missing, but so
262
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.639
far nobody has been named either suspect or even a
263
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.480
person of interest in the case. It's worth mentioning that
264
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.200
Keyslun did have a history with drug use, mainly methamphetamine,
265
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.120
and had blown off a mandatory probation appointment the day
266
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.039
before she went missing, resulting in a warrant being issued
267
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.559
for her arrest. Many speculate the Keyeslan so quickly fled
268
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.559
from the Flying Jay that day due to not wanting
269
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.679
to be there when the police were called, because she
270
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.240
would have been arrested on this warrant, but why not
271
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.720
take her car. More speculation had Keeslan possibly leaving the
272
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.159
gas station with a trucker, but again this hasn't been confirmed.
273
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.200
In early March or twenty twenty, when investigators searched the
274
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.840
Flying Jay and no idea why it took this long
275
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.720
for them to search the area her car was found
276
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.279
in in which she was last seen. They did find
277
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.879
items of clothing that belonged to Keeslin in a dumpster
278
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.600
behind the building. An anonymous witness who has been said
279
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.919
to be fully cooperative with police and not involved in
280
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.960
any way to her disappearance, came forward and told reporters
281
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.600
that these articles of clothing had been there the entire time,
282
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.039
but police were allegedly just getting around to searching for
283
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.200
and collected them as evidence now and now, meaning two
284
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.559
months later in March. Unfortunately, this is all the evidence available,
285
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.639
at least online in either case. Can it really all
286
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.159
be a coincidence that two young people, one a known
287
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.120
drug user and the other possibility found dead from intoxication
288
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.120
from the other's drug of choice, go missing from the
289
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.360
exact same gas station under early similar circumstances within two
290
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.320
days of each other. Is it also just happened since
291
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.679
that the two also live on the same street as
292
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.919
each other. Now there's no evidence that they even knew
293
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.840
each other, but still a little too much to overlook
294
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.600
if you ask most people involved with or following this case,
295
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.519
where is Keeslin? Did she meet the same fate as
296
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.360
Caleb and just hasn't been found yet? Was Caleb's death
297
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.919
truly an accident, and even if it was, someone obviously
298
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.759
moved his body at least, and at most they murdered
299
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.039
him and dumped it at the location where it was found.
300
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.759
Is he's running on our own and of our own
301
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.759
free will due to fear again of being arrested for
302
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:39.360
that probation violation and probable relapse. It's also worth mentioning
303
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.840
here that there have been several sightings of Keesln at
304
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.120
multiple truck stops in various cities across the country. However,
305
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.000
none of these have ever been able to actually be
306
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.639
confirmed as her. Now, as we mentioned, her clothes were
307
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.320
found two months after she was last seen fitting the scene.
308
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.519
So where did she go while naked? Also without anyone
309
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.879
seeing her? As the police are insinuating Caleb took a
310
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.519
live mile naked walk without being noticed too. Were her
311
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.920
clothes really there the entire time, as the anonymous and
312
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.599
seemingly cooperative witness claim to news reporters, or are they
313
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.720
dumped there after the fact for whatever reason. Currently, there's
314
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.279
a six thousand dollars reward for information that could lead
315
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.799
to keyslan s whereabouts. If you can help this investigation
316
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.279
in any way, or think you have any information, no
317
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.039
matter how small or insignificant it may seem, please contact
318
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.279
the Gordon County Sheriff's Department at seven zero six six
319
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.480
two nine one two four four. So what do you
320
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.279
think of this case? Are these bizarre circumstances simply coincidence
321
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.240
or is there indeed a connection here? I look forward
322
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.799
to reading your comments. As always, we ask that you
323
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.200
please be respectful in the comment section when discussing this case.
324
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.960
Many times family and friends of the victims do watch
325
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:00.000
these videos and read the comments, so please don't say
326
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.640
anything that you wouldn't say if it was your family
327
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.359
member or friend in this circumstance. In closing, be good
328
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
to yourselves and each other. I'm Steve Stockton and I'll
329
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.640
talk to you next time.
