00:00:00
A little over a month after Melissa Cassias vanished, a stranger showed up with a message. Melissa's daughter
00:00:06
Sierra was at work one day when this woman showed up. She supposedly was a long-time friend of her mother's, but
00:00:13
Sierra didn't recognize her cuz if they had ever met before, it would have been when Sierra was really little. Anyway,
00:00:18
this woman said that she had driven hundreds of miles from Colorado to Taos, New Mexico to give Sierra a $50 high
00:00:25
school graduation gift. And while she's there, she takes a photo with Sierra. Then she said some strange things like,
00:00:32
"I have psychic abilities and I feel like your mom is fine." Then she adds something even more cryptic. She says,
00:00:38
"If your mom really left on her own, she always knows where to find me." And then
00:00:42
she tells Sierra not to tell her dad about this visit. Of course, Sierra did tell her dad Mark. And when he hears
00:00:49
about it, he starts thinking, "What if Melissa sent this woman like a proxy or something to check on Sierra?" Those
00:00:55
photos, maybe she wanted some kind of visual to know that her daughter was okay after she left. I mean, she could
00:01:01
have just mailed the 50 bucks, right? Well, here's where it gets really strange. When investigators track this
00:01:06
woman down, she denied everything. She hadn't been to Taos, she said. Hadn't seen Sierra. Didn't even know Melissa.
00:01:14
Up until a couple of days ago, this was just a weird puzzle piece. But recently,
00:01:20
we found more information that makes me think this might be the key to everything. Make sure to follow because
00:01:26
there is an update coming soon that you are not going to believe.
