Quick disclaimer, this episode includes discussions of dismemberment. So please, as always, listen with care. Now, as you guys know, Garrett and I have been married for quite a little while. But there is something about first date jitters that I sort of miss, but maybe don't miss the butterflies, the getting dressed up, what do I wear, trying to leave a lasting impression to get another date. And honestly, after Gerden-I's first day, I was really worried. Like when we got off our first day, I was like, I hope he liked me enough to go on a second day with me. I mean grand it's been a while since we've been on my first day but first dates are always scary because you just you can be yourself but like you can't it's not like you're just yourself you're nervous there's a lot going on yeah I think some people have the ability for sure not me like I was you were reserved yeah I like I feel like everything majority people are toned the back a little bit the first day you're gonna start just doing like seeing crazy stuff Yeah, I don't know. Anyways. But I do remember like most of the time when I would go on a first date afterwards I wouldn't feel like this like immense pressure. It was more just like either that was fun or that wasn't fun with you I got home and I was like oh I hope I I was re-evaluating everything I said and did because I was like I don't think I paid attention enough on the date like I don't know if I was trying hard enough but I wanted to go on a second date. We got married. I know. I know. did work. I don't know. I feel like we were both pretty reserved. Yeah, I think so too. So I think deep down most of us hope a first date will somehow lead to a happily ever after. Prince charming woman of our dreams, but not all first dates get that fairy tale ending. And some, as we'll see in today's case, actually end up more like a Stephen King novel with an ending so disturbing. It'll make you think twice about ever going on a date again. So let me. to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where in 2024, so rather recently, we meet a 19-year-old woman who is basically doing everything she can to build a future for herself. Her name is Shadei Robinson. Now, Shadei was born on May 10th, 2004, and she was originally from Vicksburg, Mississippi, but she moved to Milwaukee with her family when she was round two. Now, Shade's mother and father were never married, but they split their time with her. They co-parented her, which meant Shade also split her time between two high schools, one in Milwaukee and another in Florida. So throughout high school, she would just kind of go back and forth between mom and dad. And then after that, graduating high school, she went on to study at Milwaukee Area Technical College, getting her degree in Criminal Justice. But Shade's real goal after graduation was actually to join the Air Force. She was the kind of woman who was always thinking about her future. She was working two jobs while taking college courses. One at a pizza shop called the Pizza Shuttle, and then the other as a server at a country club where she actually worked with her younger sister, Adriana. Now, Adriana and Adriana was were very close. Since they were only about three years apart, they were kind of besties, they can fight it in each other a lot, and Adriana looked up to Shadei. So at this point in her life, she is managing to juggle school, two jobs, paying for her own apartment and a car, and she's managing to do it with Grace. Everyone who worked with Shadei said she was one of their best employees. She was extremely reliable, responsible, always in a great deal, mood, positive attitudes, someone who lifted others spirits and motivations. So it was really alarming when Shade didn't show up to work for her shift at the Pizza Shuttle on April 2nd, 2024. Now, just a few days before she doesn't show up for her shift, March 31st was Easter Sunday. And Adriana, her little sister saw her. that morning because they worked a shift together at the country club. And then afterwards, they got cleaned up and they actually went over to their grandparents' house for Easter dinner. Adriana said Shada was in a great mood as always. They had a beautiful Easter together and when Shada dropped her off at home that night, she told her little sister Adriana that she loved her. And then the following morning, Monday, April 1st, we know that Shada facetimeed her mom, Shena. Sheena thought her daughter was actually in an even better mood than usual, but there was nothing that like stood out as to why. And then around 9 a.m. that morning, she left her apartment for work. She got to the pizza shuttle at 9.15 for her shift, where she stayed until her scheduled end time of 5 p.m. So this was basically the last day that she's having contact with people in her life. unusual about her that day and it wasn't until the following afternoon so April 2nd that her coworkers picked up on that something was wrong because again shot a hadn't shown up for work her coworkers had tried calling her there was no answer they actually tried a few more times throughout the day like as her shift went on but her boss knew this wasn't like shot a and felt something was seriously wrong So her fellow employees and her boss at the pizza place end up calling the police because she's not answering and she missed her shift. Now meanwhile as they are calling the police to basically ask for welfare check about three miles away from the pizza shuttle where she hasn't shown up police were dealing with another pressing incident. A woman had heard a massive car crash. and when she went outside to investigate she saw flames emerging from a car. And then when police arrived a few minutes later they found a 20-20 Honda Civic with extreme fire damage. After the flames were extinguished they obviously start investigating and thankfully the first thing they notice is there was no one inside this vehicle. petroleum in the interior passenger side of the car which told them whatever it happened they believe this fire was probably set intentionally like in public midday basically speaking of fires we live in Utah there is a million fires right now and it's burning I go outside and I just I can't even go outside it's scary a hundred degrees there's smoke everywhere it's horrible anyway sorry keep going Luckily I don't think anyone like any homes or anything in the damage. Really? The homes in like Cottonwood. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like two sets of fires. No one's died from it, but things are being destroyed. Yeah. That's just so scary. Yeah, it's crazy. So they're like, okay, this is important. Someone has set this car on fire and unfortunately, with damage this bad, they weren't really able to pull any fingerprints or DNA directly from the vehicle. they did notice a few things inside. There was a purse, a jacket, a pair of shoes, and a pair of inside out jeans with underwear like still in the jeans if that makes sense. No it makes sense. I just did not need that visual. Sorry. It's okay. It's important to the case. Okay. With the purse still there, detectives are like, okay, so someone didn't like break into this car, rob it and then set it on fire. So they feel like that's not really a mowed. but they ran the plates obviously of the car for a name and they get it back quickly it is 19 year old shot a Robinson's car now remember they have just been asked to do a welfare check on 19 year old shot a at the same time but there was something even more unsettling about the car and that was the driver's seat it was pushed pretty far back but as police Shade wasn't a tall girl. She was only five foot one. There was no way that she had drove this vehicle with the seat in this position. She wouldn't have even been able to reach the pedals. So the officers actually tracked down a vehicle at a dealership that was the same making model and they had one of their taller male
