Thank you so much for listening.
Welcome to a new episode of Up and Vanished. This episode is going to be a question and answer episode.
We've collected a lot of your questions and we're going to do our best to have Payne and Mike and myself occasionally answer them
and give you the best answers that we can with what we can tell.
Obviously there are still a lot of moving pieces and there are a lot of things that we can't talk about yet,
but we're happy to answer as many questions as we can.
So I'd love to introduce the one and only Payne Lindsay and Mike Rooney. We're just gonna start
here at the top of our list and we're just gonna work our way down, answer as
many as we can. So first question, hey Payne you spent a lot of time focusing
on Oregon John and I think some of it is warranted but are there any other
suspects persons of interest? Oregon John is front and center of Flo's case
because as far as we know,
he's the last person to see her alive.
Just plain and simple.
Had her belongings in his tent.
There are definitely other people,
names that have been brought up.
We have censored a few of them
and we've talked to a few of them. No matter how you slice
it, his name comes up in the story no matter what that night when Flo went
missing and he remains at the center of the investigation. But there are other
people that we are aware of and other theories that also involve John himself that we've been looking into as well.
And just to clarify for everyone, the first eight episodes were mostly about Florence
and as a listener it might sound like we have stopped investigating her case, but it's truly exactly the opposite. We plan on doing a
lot more episodes of this season and there will be a third installment of
this season that shifts the focus back to Flo's investigation and continues on
with Joseph's as well. Yeah that, that's probably the most often asked question
that we get is that, did we forget about anyone?
And it's like, no, we didn't.
Yeah, quite the contrary.
I've learned more about Flo's case
in the last couple of months than I have
in the last two years.
So, and you will hear all of that.
So this next question comes from Christine. How far in advance do you start working on a case
before production begins on the podcast? Did you know from the beginning, Flo's disappearance
would be the subject of the next season? And if not, at what point is that decision made?
We work pretty far in advance because we know as soon as, like once the podcast is out,
the cat's out of the bag and our investigating strategy has to change completely.
We worked for, I want to say almost close to a year on Flo and Joseph's cases.
Before the podcast came out, we were in Nome.
No one besides the people that we talked to and interviewed
really knew what we were doing there.
So we didn't stick out like that.
We definitely would now, I believe,
but we made a conscious collective decision
to cover both of these cases this season, right
from the get-go, after receiving the emails from their families and just doing some of
our own preliminary research.
Yeah, the star's kind of aligned because not only were these families reaching out, but
one of the sound designer, the guy who makes them masters, Cooper, who's not here right now, is actually from Alaska. So that was a
little more incentive, right, for you to go to Alaska and do a story in or do
cases in Alaska. Yeah, he first showed me the story and we have thousands of emails
in the Up and Vanished inbox, tenorfoot inbox, just everywhere, right? And I just typed in gnome and there were two emails
and they were from the families.
And like to me, that was like a star's aligning moment.
And it just looked like there was a lot of bad stuff
happening in this place.
And the families were familiar with this podcast
and wanted our help to put it in the spotlight and try to find out as much as we could.
This next question comes from Maxine.
I'm just curious when you and your production team go and meet someone that could be dangerous
like Oregon John, do you have some sort of protection with you? It depends on what you mean by
protection. I mean, we actually debated. Yeah, not bodyguards, if that's what you're referring to.
We actually debated a lot on whether or not we should be armed in certain situations,
whether or not we should be armed in certain situations
this season specifically. The state of Alaska seems to be pretty loose on guns out there.
Really, like
we try to protect ourselves in being 10 steps ahead
and thinking about every worst case scenario.
And if it goes this way, we have a plan for it. And if it goes this way, we have a plan for it,
and if it goes that way, we have a plan for it.
And so when meeting someone like Oregon John,
that was probably the craziest thing
we've all collectively done thus far.
And we didn't know how that would go,
or if it would even go,
but we knew that if we were in a public place and out in the open,
there was only so much that could happen in all likelihood.
But still a very scary real risk that we were taking.
And, you know, took took very seriously because we're not trying
to get hurt out here either.
Right, and honestly, it's just, it feels a little icky
Googling like, how do you get on a plane with a gun?
That never felt.
Yeah, it's like we were trying to avoid,
bringing that thought into the mix just sort of
almost creates this, you know, like
war scenario that we're, we're just simply trying to ask questions. And so we're not
trying to combat anybody. If anything, we're deescalating from the start, or at least trying
to.
Yeah. And I think bringing a gun to any situation is just you're you're asking to escalate it like you're saying this is more of just
asking questions just trying to get someone on the record bringing a gun to
that kind of situation is probably like you're putting some weird not intentions
in your head but you know. You're putting it out there. Yeah you're being a
little more paranoid so I remember we quickly abandoned the idea of like traveling with a gun or any
It's like yeah, are we planning on using it? It's like I hope I hope not right so
I think there's a lot to be said about the element of surprise and
when something happens all of a sudden if you just pop up somewhere and
Randomly start talking to somebody and interviewing them or ask ask them questions about a case there's a moment
where they're still figuring out what's going on and you already know exactly
what's going on regardless of how nervous I am they're still piecing it
together and by the time they are or do it all, it's over sometimes in situations,
and in some situations like that.
This question comes from Lauren.
She wants to know how much time passed
from when you first reached out to Oregon John
to when you actually met him.
I wanna say about eight months.
I sent a message on Facebook
from this fake Facebook account
that I have way, way early on
and he actually responded to me.
And I just kind of acted like he might know who I am
or something, or just, you know,
I think I said something like, how's Alaska been?
Or I don't know, something like that.
And he responded.
Probably like eight months later,
when we were on the mission to find out where he was
and go and try to actually interview him,
is when we kind of were in the dilemma of,
do we approach him this way or that way?
And so regardless, I started messaging him again
from that same account just being friendly also to try to find out where
he was because we didn't really know and no one knew so I think planting the seed
of that first message eight months earlier is why he probably met with us in the first place.
I think that it would have been way
more sus looking if we just came out of the woodwork and said, hey, do you want to
meet tomorrow just out of the blue?
It was really a puzzle that ultimately you figured out, Payne, how to find him,
which I don't know if you want to talk about.
But yeah, just we were
racking our brains for days trying to figure out where he was going to be, when.
Yeah, and we had several other plans ready to go and then realized that that's not going
to work.
Oh, wow, he's not even going to be there.
So where is he going to be?
We're not going to go to his house.
And so like, how do we meet him out in public?
And I mean, you heard all that in the Finding John episode.
But yeah, we really did not know what to expect.
But I think that the original Facebook message I sent
about eight months prior is what brought
some validity to, in his eyes, of why he should meet this stranger. scale with no preset spending limit. Redefine possible with Business Platinum. That's the powerful backing of American Express. Terms and conditions apply. Visit amex.ca slash business platinum.

Sabrina asks, now that the podcast is out, does Oregon John know who you are? Oregon John most certainly knows who I am.
Hi, John.
Yeah, we knew that eventually that was going to happen, right?
Just based on past experiences, you know, V-Dog, the one of the main persons of interest
in season three, Ashley's case. you know, V-Dog, one of the main persons of interest
in season three, Ashley's case.
Cooper and I flew out specifically to Montana one week
to go find him and talk to him.
And if you recall, it didn't go over that well.
He didn't wanna talk, right?
And looking back, that was a more dangerous situation than Oregon John.
Because we were up on this hill, way out in the middle of nowhere, and I was in his house
waiting for him to come upstairs, just making small talk with his roommate.
Once he learned why I was there and what I wanted to talk about, he was pretty pissed
about it and just kind
of reflecting back on that. You know, I asked as many questions as I could, as I was walking
out the door, as he's asking me to leave his property and doing all those things. But you
can only learn so much in a couple of minutes. He's like being defensive and he's, it's not an actual interview or
conversation that you could yield a lot of beneficial evidence from if there was any to be
found. During your conversation with Oregon John at the bar, he mentions this crazy theory that her
body was stuffed in a barrel on some meth dealer's property.
So the question is, Danielle asks,
is there any validity to that theory?
And have you heard that from anyone else?
He's the only person I've heard tell a story like that.
I've heard the specific being in a barrel
in someone's house.
No one else that I've talked to at all
has made that bold of a claim or assertion.
Maybe if you look back,
John claims that she's dead, murdered,
and knows who did it.
No one has said that besides him.
And so I don't believe that story,
but I think we know some of the people
he might've been referring to
in that narrative that he gave to us.
But my gut is that he just said that
because he wanted to move on in the conversation.
And you gotta remember,
we were at the bar with John for over two
hours and we didn't just talk about gnome in Florence the whole time because that would
have been very weird. It naturally came up in conversation super early when he talked
about gold mining and gnome and then we just kind of kept it going and why why'd you leave and so
Really the the hardest part of that conversation was
Trying to find ways to go back to that conversation again when he wanted to talk about other things
Yeah, he really wanted to talk about guns and his wife and not about gnome
But yeah, I think you're
right I think he was trying to put like some finality on it where he was even
saying like the FBI solved it or found the guy yeah he's like that's over yeah
that was that that's what I got out of that was that yeah she was murdered and
put in a barrel and it's under this meth dealer's house and you know they
thought it was me but it you know but they solved it, it's good now.
Because we were playing dumb like we don't know shit about this case. But I think he said that
just to, yeah like he said Mike, to close it out and move on.
Will any of the footage or audio tape of John be admissible for the FBI or the known police?
tape of John be admissible for the FBI or the known police?
Admissible, I think that only refers to the courtroom.
If, you know.
If a judge finds this tape admissible based on X, Y, Z,
I'm not an expert in that area.
I think in terms of a police investigation, absolutely. If there's a recording of somebody that says something suspicious or slips out some sort of admission of something,
then police always use that kind of stuff. Whitney says, what made you want to go deeper into
your own experience while making this season? I really love hearing more about your own
emotions, feelings, experiences while tackling this case. Well first of all
thank you because Reddit does not. To me the experience is so is so bizarre and so real. And sometimes in an episode, it can sound super cinematic and almost in
some way, maybe like take away from the reality of it all. And so just kind of reflecting
back on three seasons of Up and Vanished, I wanted to kind of pull the curtain back
a little bit more and let you hear
some of those inside conversations,
the stuff that happens before and after,
and take you into my head in a moment,
just to take you there as close as I can,
because that's what we experienced,
that's how I experienced it. And I think that it shows how high the stakes really are and is
also a reminder of how real these people's lives are and that to me is of
utmost importance. Yeah I think it's a reflection of you know your evolution as like a
You know podcast host I can already see someone on reddit or somewhere. There he goes patting himself on the back again
So go ahead and shut up
but I I
think I like the question and I appreciate that you appreciated that part of In the Midnight Sun.
I wanted to let you in a little bit more.
You can view that, hear that, however, I can't control that,
but for me, sincerely, it was being more vulnerable.
And I felt like that's important in stories like, to give you as much context as possible.
And also help gain trust with other people.
You know, just being real and being real with them and, you know, not being afraid to show what's going on.
Mickey asks, what's the hardest part about creating a podcast in Alaska?
Do the locals seem receptive to you solving this case?
Honestly, like 99% of the people in Nome, from my experience
that I've talked to, were super helpful.
They wanted to talk, even if they were nervous or scared,
they overcame it and they were willing
to do whatever they had to do to get this story out there
on a bigger platform because it affects their everyday life.
There's only a handful of people that have been weird
about talking to us.
And no one has the obligation to talk to any journalist
or podcaster at all.
And it doesn't mean that you're suspicious or guilty
if you don't.
But I would say honestly, 99% of the people in Nome
have met us mostly with open arms.
There's been some hesitation, but we've worked at gaining
that trust and there are people who are just saying,
fuck off, but that's everywhere.
Yeah, I think a cool thing about Nome is they're very aware
of these cases and if you talk to anyone about Florence's case, they'll probably bring up Joseph's
case or they'll probably bring up Sonia Ivanov.
They're they, they don't want these things happening in their town.
And if you talk to him about Joseph's case, they'll bring up Florence's case.
Like they're very aware of this and they, they know there's been some wrong
doings that I don't think anyone in the town wants repeated.
Yeah, they're also perplexed as to why the police have not solved these cases.
And for a lot of people who live there, that reality is way different.
To live in that and to not feel like you can trust law enforcement on a daily basis.
I can't imagine what that's like, especially in a place like Nome, isolated and far out there.
Shannon asks, what's up with the Discord? How's that working out for you?
The Discord is insane. We knew it would be.
If you've been a long time listener of Up and Vanished and
if you were there in the beginning, 2016, 2017, we had a discussion board that was really,
really active and the suspects and the community were all up in there. And it was, it was a crazy place because everyone's kind of hiding behind a username and there's a level...
Everyone's pretty much anonymous unless they say who they are or prove who they are or someone comes out of the work and proves to us that that is who that is.
And really it's an investigative tool.
It's not really like a fan club group or discussion.
It's a place where people can speak anonymously
and a place where we can hopefully find new leads
and try to control the chaos as much as possible.
Yeah, it turns into a lot of fighting
almost every time we do this, which is a bummer.
But it's gonna happen no matter what.
Yeah, people just get, I I mean they're gonna get pissed and so yeah, there's a lot of
Babysitting that happens as well and
you know not knowing who to trust in there as a
moderator or whoever and people just making things up out in the open and
shifting things
and directions that it shouldn't be going in.
But the good thing that comes out of all of it,
the silver lining is that we see all this,
like we're logging all of this.
And I know for a fact there's been some people
in the Discord who are purposefully
Making shit up
Because they're guilty of something I guess that's kind of the the double-edged sword of anonymity
You know like you can get really great tips because people aren't afraid to come forward
But you also get a lot of just like
Assholes who are just stirring up drama just for the sake of drama, you know, absolutely
So it's it's hard to sift through that but I feel like we're doing a good job with the amount of people who are in
There and we're finding good information and maybe finding new leads. Who knows definitely trolls will come out no matter what there's always trolls
Yeah
Trolls be out there. They find those discords
So a bunch of people are asking about Joseph's cell phone.
When he went missing, was his cell phone recovered?
Was there information that was recovered from that that's been useful to the investigation?
We haven't really discussed it in the podcast, but what can you say about that?
Yeah, they never found Joseph's phone, unfortunately.
And the cell towers there there I think what I've
seen from the private investigators homework and investigation is that
there's really only one tower one cell tower in gnome so there's no way to like
triangulate any kind of location of where he was during that weekend so yeah
there's not much to go off there. Yeah. Yeah all the information we have in
regards to Joseph's phone or from his actual
Cellphone records themselves and unfortunately
They don't have a detailed
Spell out of what?
his text messages
We're saying we know his his WhatsApp messages to his fiance
because we have her ends of the conversation.
But unfortunately we don't have Christine's
because she wiped her phone or something.
Yeah, so getting more into the specifics
of some of the people surrounding the case.
A bunch of people are asking about
Joseph's fiance Megan Ry Gidrider.
What can you tell us about her?
She hasn't really played a main part in the podcast per se,
but is there anything going on behind the scenes with her?
Yeah, I mean, personally, I talk to the families a lot,
Meg being one of them.
She's been an active participant behind the scenes, regardless of whether or
not you've heard like a full interview from her or something. But she's the one who gave
us all of the voice notes you heard of Joseph's real voice and has worked in tandem with the family and his entire friend circle since day one
and spearheading trying to find out what happened to him.
And so we talked to a lot of people, her included,
that are close to the victims,
even if you don't hear interviews with them per se.
So another question that's come up a few times.
People are really curious about Joseph's credit card statements.
One of the things you figured out in the podcast was that his credit card was used after he
had disappeared.
Are there going to be any new updates on that and is there any plan to try to investigate
that any further?
Yes. And is there any plan to try to investigate that any further? Yes, so we've done a lot of homework on that specific thing and
I've been
Trying my hardest to pinpoint
particular items that were purchased at the Bonanza Express and
I have the birth dates of
at the Bonanza Express and I have the birth dates of the individual who made the purchases who bought this stuff but in all likelihood it seems like the birthdays that were punched in
was just like if you went to your local supermarket and they're like oh you're over 21 and they just go boop boop boop and just put in a random
You know birthday, but we do know who those individuals are. I think that they're completely unrelated
but we know
specific items that were purchased that
were purchased repeatedly on different days, so
likely the same person or group of people
buying this stuff. And we've done our best to try to find out
who would have bought those things
without letting the cat out of the bag.
But we also plan on, based on how much further we get, just straight up telling
you guys, because I think that the community itself could answer that question if we if
we just tell them specifically what it is. So definitely more to come on that. And that
was that like that that was the cliffhanger of the first installment, but we've learned a lot about the credit card issue.
You know, there's stuff about the security footage
from there that's gone,
and it ties in in other ways to the story,
but we plan on telling you as much as we know
about that specific piece of evidence,
if we wanna call it that, very soon, actually.
So another big question we're getting,
people are really wanting an update on the Pascoya family
and how they're involved in this case.
I know early on when we talked to private investigator,
Andy Klamzer, we had mentioned,
is there something to this, the Pascoyas being involved?
And his take seemed to be that it was just such a large
family in such a small town that eventually you just
couldn't help but run into a Pascoya.
But I'm curious, like what your take is on what you've
uncovered through all of these files,
listening to everything, talking to people in Nome.
Where are you with that?
Regardless of whatever last name or whatever family you want to refer to in Joseph's case,
like in the case of Joseph's disappearance, there are people that we have interviews with,
recordings of, who have bold faced lied repeatedly
on different occasions and their stories just don't match up.
Now, I don't know that doesn't,
everyone isn't guilty of something, right?
Like that's impossible, but why is anyone lying
when you're being questioned
by an investigator about a missing person
who's supposedly your friend or someone
you consider family yourself?
Why is there any need to lie about anything?
And it's not just stuff like I forgot the exact time or this or that
We have a lot of tape
Thanks to all the hard work that's that was done and we have a
Lot of new tape to compare it to we can see what someone said eight years ago and see what they're saying now
we can see what they said in
July of 2016 or October of 2016.
And those things are not adding up.
And it appears like a narrative was being stitched together
in some way, shape or form,
is the only way that I can rationalize it.
And the only way to clear it up
is if any of these people talk to whoever.
And they can say, I've already talked to the police.
Well, if the police is your cousin,
or if it's still unsolved,
like, and he's your friend
and you care about this missing person,
then talk again.
Everyone else is talking, you know what I mean?
So I think that there probably is a level of fear
in some people in Nome,
in terms of their closeness to certain people.
Maybe they've been friends for a long time
and they didn't know all this stuff and they don't want you know their family name to be brought
down in some way. If somebody you know a lone individual did something right? But
there are there's a pattern of lying that we have discovered here from people who are related to each other.
And that's just a fact. Do whatever you want with that. But when they lied to police officers,
that's a crime. So, and it seems like every day we find a new one. And we'll outline all of this stuff very specifically
so you can see what we're talking about.
And you don't have, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to stitch it together.
It's this person saying this on this date, and then this on this date,
and then this on this date, and then this on this date, why are those things so off, and why doesn't it match this?
They all couldn't have happened, and why is it
that it's all connected to one group of people
who are saying these things that don't match,
when mostly everything else does add up?
So it's just like a common sense thing that, you know, I think had investigators
kept investigating, they would have probably been able to get to the bottom of a long time ago.
Kind of a follow-up question. I know that you've spent a lot of time reaching out to a lot of
people who are close to this case, and you aren't getting a lot of responses from some of the people that you're hoping you talk to.
And I think because of that, you're having to rely on a lot of secondhand accounts and secondhand information
to piece together these narratives.
If, assuming that these people are listening,
is there anything that you would want to say to them that might convince them to want to talk to you? I mean, assuming that any of them are listening, is there anything that you would want to say to them that might convince them to want to talk to you?
I mean, assuming that any of them are listening,
if I've tried to talk to you and you've declined
and you're scared or nervous about what's going to happen,
if you do, if you're genuine with me,
there's really nothing to be afraid of,
especially if you didn't do anything wrong, right?
Even if you did do something wrong,
or you know something that happened
and you're a witness of something,
it feels like now would be the best time to say something.
Because I think when it's all said and done and we've
packaged up all that we know and what we've discovered and combined that with
all the eight years of work on Joseph's case it's gonna land on an
investigators office that's not local,
who we're going to compel to go investigate because crimes were committed in terms of lying to the cops.
And I don't know about you guys, but like, I don't know.
Isn't it, in every true crime documentary
you've ever watched, if you lie to the cops they
Pick you up and
Interrogate you it just seems like it's I don't know. No. Yeah, I think that's totally it. That's what it is
you know, it's like they kind of
Either just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time or by doing the wrong things at the wrong time
Made themselves the center of this investigation, You know, because of that they've always been in
that place now and it's unfortunate but that's how the cookie grumbles, I guess, you know, and
all we can do is just track that down and do our best to get to the real story there.
Yeah, and I think at early stages
when you hear the investigators talking to people like Jake,
they only knew so much because it was very fresh.
They knew that Jake had lied and texted his friends
to create an alibi, but that's really all they knew.
But the lies go beyond that,
But the lines go beyond that, that can be factually, literally, physically proven,
beyond eyewitness accounts. And so it wasn't just, okay, we get it, you were nervous,
we'll let you pass on this one. I think the whole I was just nervous thing
becomes a little,
a little flimsier if there's more lies
uncovered after the fact. And so we'll see if a higher government agency
wants to take that seriously.
And we'll do our best to present it in a
digestible
legitimate way
professionally and
with the help of you guys the listeners and
You know we can
Make some noise about hey
We think something's wrong with this. Why don't the people who can actually do anything about it, can actually make an arrest, can actually bring the
sort of justice that we're talking about in terms of breaking laws, murder, we can try to compel them
breaking laws, murder, we can try to compel them to go look into this again.
And I think if they do, they're going to say, holy shit, it's right here in front of us.
So we have so many questions asking the same thing here. Everyone wants an update on what's going to happen with Flo's case. Is there any plan for the future of Up and Vanished to do more of a deep dive on Flo
or Oregon John or the case in general?
The answer is absolutely yes.
We already have so much new information that we're compiling and putting together and you
will hear it. The first seven episodes of the season
were mostly focused on Florence's disappearance.
And towards the end, we dovetailed into Joseph's case.
And just like we did in the first half,
we're going to do the same coming up.
And we plan on doing another installment
of at least eight episodes after this
that focuses on both now that we collectively
know the information, right?
And we'll obviously catch you up to speed
and remind you and recap you on important details.
But now that we're collectively familiar with these cases,
moving forward, it's going to become a podcast series about both cases in tandem.
So that's all the time we have today to answer these questions. We really appreciate you sending
us these questions and showing us how interested you are in this investigation. It fuels us to
keep going and in turn it allows us to give you better content.
So thank you for your time and thank you, Payne and Mike, for taking the time to answer
these questions.
And we'll see you next week on Up and Vanished in the Midnight Sun.
