crime that has to do with Latin America. And today
5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.440
we have a ufolk story. I feel like it's been
6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:31.760
a while. Yeah, and then a true crime case from Columbia, Columbia.
7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.640
Thank you. Wow, I forgot, I forgot what we were doing.
8
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.280
But sorry, I can't talk right now. My meds are

wear enough. So this is how it's going to go today. Then, yes, yes,

00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.280
for the listener story? That's the question? Yes? Okay, So
18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.680
this is from Jason Cordova. It was a peaceful evening
19
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.200
at my family's mountainside home, overlooking the Roaring Fork River
20
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.200
at Pyramid Peak and imposing rock formation reminiscent of the
21
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.000
Devil's Tower. Oh, do you know the Devil's Tower? I don't,
22
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.239
Do you know the muffin Man? Yes? I was about
23
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.000
ten years old at the time, and I had a
24
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.079
friend over for a sleepover. We were up late talking
25
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.439
when through the window we noticed a strange light emerging
26
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.879
from behind a nearby hill. Both of those are fascinated
27
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.000
by aviation, so we quickly recognized that it couldn't be
28
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.640
in aircraft because it only had one light and it
29
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.359
was the wrong color. Our curiosity grew as a light
30
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.000
suddenly changed direction and began zig zagging across the field,
31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.519
then across the river toward our apartment building. The object
32
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.640
stopped abruptly, hovering just a few feet away from our window.
33
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.439
We could see the reflection of its amber colored light
34
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.599
on the river below. The object appeared to be a
35
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.439
three foot diameter glass sphere with an amber colored light
36
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:19.240
emanating from its center. So detailed, I know. Overwhelmed with excitement,
37
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.360
I ran to my dad's room to tell him about
38
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.639
the site. Unfortunately he was too tired to come see
39
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.159
for himself. What time was it? I would have gone,
40
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.280
I mean, I know, who knows if it was like dadda,
41
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.919
I'd be like, okay, yeah. Our returned just in time
42
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.319
to see the objects speeding off along the river to
43
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.400
the south before vanishing from sight, leaving my friend and
44
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.280
I staring in an awe out of the window. Shaken
45
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.080
and bewildered. We decided it was time to try and
46
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.719
get some sleep. The next morning, my friend went home
47
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.319
before breakfast and we never spoke about the sighting again. However,
48
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.039
my dad did ask me about it, and it helped
49
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.240
me investigate whether it could have been a reflection of
50
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.439
headlights or something else. We even tried to produced the
51
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.759
phenomenon using flashlights, but we're unable to recreate what I
52
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.479
had seen. So scientific. I love this Dad just like
53
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.800
encouraging its, like, well, let's see if it could have
54
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.240
been this or this. Yeah. So like it's fine that
55
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.000
he was too tired to get up to go see
56
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.919
because it's probably, like I said in Madrugada Krakadon type
57
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:22.879
of thing. And but he was interested after that, trying
58
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.840
to help out, trying to you know, let's try this,
59
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.240
let's try that. Yeah. So that's I love this. And also, yeah,
60
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.840
that was a ufone for sure. Oh yeah, definitely the diigzagging. Yeah,
61
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.360
the one light emanating the amber light emanating from the
62
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:50.360
center at the sphere. Yes, absolutely. Okay, are you ready
63
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.599
for our paranormal case. Yeah, speaking of extraterrescuo and UFOs
64
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.520
and stuff. Yeah, that's what we're talking about today. We
65
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.800
are talking about the City Yo Puchetta abduction. So twenty
66
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.520
eight year old Saidhiyo Puchta lived a normal life in
67
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.599
the Argentine region of La Pampa, a mostly rural area
68
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.360
full of vast land and cattle ranches, before his life
69
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.000
changed on March second, two thousand and six. Said Kio,
70
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.399
who was a corporal police officer for the region's Anti
71
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.040
Livestock Theft Division, began his shift around seven to thirty
72
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.839
pm on the evening of his alleged alien abduction. On
73
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.480
this day, Saidhio patrolled a slightly different route than he
74
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.439
normally did after agreeing to cover for a colleague who
75
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.079
had taken the day off. And if that colleague had
76
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.519
not called off or maybe had a vacation, I don't know,
77
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.399
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know the situation.
78
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.560
But if you had been there, this wouldn't have happened
79
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.079
to Sehkio exactly. It's always whenever there's like but that
80
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.120
day he went a different way. That day was different.
81
00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:01.639
It's always a recipe for disaster before the paranormal, a
82
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:07.839
recipe for alien abduction, yes, said Huo. Began his shift
83
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.519
by hopping onto his Honda one fifty motorcycle and driving
84
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.639
eighty kilometers before stopping at an intersection called cruse Alaskagnes.
85
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.360
Once there, said Hio noticed a glowing light from the woods.
86
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.079
Thinking the lights might be coming from poachers, said Jo,
87
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.040
stop to investigate, got to stop those cow thieves, you know,
88
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.279
doing his job. He got off his bike and looked
89
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.600
around for a bit, but hopped back on to resume
90
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.920
his route after convincing himself it was nothing. It's never
91
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:42.199
nothing chinks. Yes, that's when he was quickly paralyzed by
92
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.639
two glowing lights dangling fifty meters away from him. The
93
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.079
glowing red lights left said Hio, dumbfounded and unable to move.
94
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.759
He later claimed that at this point he felt a
95
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.639
tingling sensation all over his body, and he felt he
96
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.399
was in a trance. Scary. His mouth to scream for help,
97
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.120
but was unable to speak. An unknown force then removed
98
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.560
his phone and wepened away from him. Sidhio doesn't remember
99
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.680
entirely what happened next, but according to his colleagues, said
100
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.399
Jo called dispatch and asked for a backup after seeing
101
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:20.800
something very strange. He then went silent and the call dropped. Oh.
102
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.360
Despatch tried calling Seho back several times, but he didn't
103
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.639
pick up. This worried the command center and they sent
104
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.759
three police cars to search for Seihio. When the officers
105
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.680
arrived at Saidho's last known location, they were met with
106
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.920
an eerie silence. Oh like he wasn't there. Eerie. Oh.
107
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.800
The officers attempted to radio said Hio again, but they
108
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:47.120
received no response. The officers then pulled out their flashlights
109
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.560
and dispersed in search of Sehio. A few minutes later,
110
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.720
one of the officers yelled for the others to come
111
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.079
to his location. Lying right in front of the officer
112
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.240
was said Jo's disassembled gun and phone, but no said
113
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.319
he insight. Oh my god, this is so weird. The
114
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.399
officers were now sure some sort of foul play was
115
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.160
involved and launched a major search for their missing colleague.
116
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.079
They fenced off the area to protect evidence and called
117
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.600
on all available officers to join the search. As the
118
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.160
search continued throughout the night, officers found said He was footprints.
119
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.160
They followed them, but they were scattered, which made it
120
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.519
difficult for officers to figure out where the hell Said
121
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.879
Jo went. Yeah, this is just it's getting more and
122
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.720
more weird. Yeah. And so the search came to a
123
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.480
hall around two am, when rain erased the footprints and
124
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.120
made it impossible to continue to follow them. I just
125
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.319
need to say that Daryl from The Walking Dead would
126
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:50.759
have still found those footprints. Yeah, and said Jo wouldn't
127
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.319
be found until four pm the next day. Oh wow.
128
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.680
And he was found by a farm owner named Luis
129
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.959
Alberto Barbero, who said he found said Jo sitting with
130
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.759
his face and his arms on the side of the
131
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:08.800
dirt road. Oh like fetal position maybe, hmmm, No, sitting
132
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.639
my bad yeah. Like yeah, you're crying into your knees, yeah,
133
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.199
in which I wouldn't do if I'd just been taken
134
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.560
by aliens. Oh yeah. So Luis Alberto approached Said Jo
135
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.439
and asked him questions but said he'll remained silent. And
136
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.759
this alarmed that Lose Alberto, and he called the authorities.
137
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.920
A few minutes later, several officers and an ambulance surrounded
138
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.360
the location. Said he'll remained silent and it'd be a
139
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.960
few hours before he fully regained consciousness. When he finally did,
140
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.000
Saidhio hugged his fellow officers and burst into tears. Oh
141
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.600
At the hospital, doctors found the burn marks on said
142
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.039
Jo's feet that were described as blisters with small white
143
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:58.000
dots in the middle. Oh odd very said Jo had
144
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.720
also inexplicably become sensitive to light and asked to be
145
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.200
moved to a dark room because the light would hurt
146
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.919
his eyes. You know, I bet those aliens just have
147
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.320
like these flashy in fluorescent lights in his face like
148
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.639
all night, like operating on him or some shit. An
149
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.279
official investigation into the incident hadn't uncovered any new information
150
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.519
or answers about what had happened to set Hyo. When
151
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.200
interviewed by officials, Saidho claimed he only remembered pieces of
152
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.159
what happened to him. He describes seeing the countryside from
153
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:32.320
above and feeling like his feet were burning. Said Kiyo
154
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.759
was unable to recover and heal from the trauma he
155
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:38.240
went through that night, and in twenty thirteen, he was
156
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.480
forced into mandatory retirement. Saidhio has now returned to the
157
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.159
location of the incident and claimed it's because he's afraid
158
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.440
it'll happen again, which makes perfect sense to me. I
159
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.960
wouldn't go back either, No, of course not. It's wild.
160
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.679
These all these abduction stories are the same, where like
161
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.120
whoever was taken, their life is a bruined, like they
162
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:04.440
don't continue their careers. They're traumatized, and they're crazy too. Yeah,
163
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.240
and that's why I love the show that was like
164
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.440
I forgot the name of the show, and then it
165
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.200
was canceled, so there's no ending to it. But there's
166
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.720
this like support group for abductees of aliens, and so
167
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.840
it's a very fun show but like you know what
168
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:29.360
they need that all right, Well, we'll take a little
169
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.720
break here and then we'll be back with my true
170
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:44.639
crime case. Okay, and we're back, and today I am
171
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:50.240
talking about the case of Mauricio from Colombia. And when
172
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.639
I'm not looking for infuriating stories because they're infuriating because
173
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:58.440
they involved the aborbitual or police harming us, then I
174
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:59.919
just find I like to find stories that I just
175
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.159
didn't hear about before because they're not like, well, known
176
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.919
in the US, so that's one of these. On the
177
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.840
twenty second of November of twenty twenty one, Mauricio Leal,
178
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.519
a famous hair stylist in Colombia, was supposed to have
179
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:20.039
arrived at a meeting about styling Miss Universo contestants, but
180
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.720
he never arrived. His driver, Jahied tried calling and calling
181
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.840
but there was no answer, which was weird because Mauricio
182
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.519
always had his phone and he also never missed imprint
183
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.159
meetings like this one. Finally, Yaid was able to get
184
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.399
in touch with Maurisio's brother, Johniere, who was living with
185
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.399
Maurisio at the time. Jihne yaid he was at home,
186
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.879
but they could meet at their house at two pm.
187
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.720
And when they met at Mauricio's condo in the municipality
188
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:56.240
of La Calera in Gundi, Marca, Colombia, they went inside.
189
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.000
Everything looked fine, like it was clean, but a little
190
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.879
too quiet. Am I wrong to be suspicious already? Of
191
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:10.320
whoms of Jonnier? I'm cutting that? All right? No, leave it,
192
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:15.519
leave it? Yeah, So they again it was a little
193
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.200
too quiet. They walked through. They tried to open Maursio's room,
194
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.000
but the door was locked. So then they went through
195
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.720
a window and they walked into a terrible, terrible scene.
196
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.679
Oh no, Mauricio and his mom mar Lenni et Nandez
197
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.559
were dead on the bed. Oh wow. Yeah. She had
198
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.120
been covered with the sheet, but Mauricio was not. There
199
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.799
was a visible stab wound to his chest and another
200
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.200
in his stomach, like the knife was still there in
201
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:51.279
his stomach. When he saw this, Janet yelledas Mao capasso,
202
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.159
what happened, mau what happened? But just like like over
203
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.320
yelling like but of course it's it's your brother. You
204
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.279
know you're gonna I don't know react yeah, oh oh sorry.
205
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.840
Yaid is the driver. For a second I thought he
206
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.320
was the brother, but Maudi's okay, okay, got it. Yeah,
207
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.399
Yaid is the driver. And Janiette is the brother of Maurisio,
208
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.240
who was the one yelling kipaso mao when he saw
209
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:19.159
all this. So who is Mauricio. Mauricio Leal was born
210
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:24.120
November twenty fourth, nineteen seventy four, in Cartago, Baye del Cauca, Colombia,
211
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.399
and he lived most of his life in El ech
212
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.759
Cafetero or the Coffee Axis, a region of Columbia that
213
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:36.440
covers the departments of Caldasa, Risa, Ralda, and Quindio. He
214
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.039
was the youngest of three siblings and the three were
215
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.639
mostly raised by Matt Leni. Their dad was in and
216
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.840
out of the picture for a while, and from his
217
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.279
early childhood, Mauricio showed in affinity for hairstyling. He loved
218
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.799
watching the difference a haircut made in someone's life. I
219
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.120
love that too, man, I like, I love That's why
220
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.279
I love makeover shows because even when they get the
221
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.600
clothes wrong, usually the hair is right, and it literally
222
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.759
takes like decades off sometimes of someone's appearance. And I
223
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:12.000
just I love a hair yeah, refresh makeover hmm. And
224
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.639
the right haircut could bring so much joy and confidence
225
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.120
to a person. Yeah. And he saw this and Madlenni,
226
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.960
his mom, seeing this, enrolled herself in beauty school, hoping
227
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.039
that Maurisia could join her, but also to make money,
228
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.480
you know, because she needed to provide for the family.
229
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:32.639
That's cool though, Yeah, And unfortunately he wasn't allowed inside,
230
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.480
but he would watch from the window. So every day
231
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.759
he would go with his mom and he would just
232
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.840
stand out the window watch. Yeah, soaking it all in
233
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.200
from outside. Damn. At some point you'd be like, just
234
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.120
let this damn kid in please, I know, but they
235
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:52.080
did it, would think. Then at fifteen, their lives changed forever.
236
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.639
Their father abandoned the family for good this time, and
237
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.519
now Mauricio felt responsible for providing for the family. They
238
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.159
moved to Santiago, Decali, and there he began to work.
239
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.120
He would wake up at three in the morning to
240
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.600
sell adipas to his neighbors. Damn, that's early. Then he
241
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.840
would go to school. Then after school he would work
242
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.320
in packaging. Wow, he only slept like four hours a
243
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.120
night to be able to do all of this. Oh
