This episode covers the investigation into Spencer's disappearance, the search for surveillance footage, and the challenges faced in obtaining evidence.

Kelly discusses her efforts to find security cameras around the area where Spencer was last seen. Many businesses either had no footage or required police involvement to access it. However, one business allowed her to view their footage.

The camera footage was focused on the entrance of the property, capturing a car arriving shortly after 10:00 p.m. on July 29th. The car turned off its lights after entering, raising questions about its presence.

Although Kelly did not find confirmed footage of Spencer, the details surrounding the car's visit and the timing are significant to the investigation.

TLDR

Kelly investigates Spencer's disappearance, finding intriguing but inconclusive surveillance footage.

And when Kelly was there, she was looking for places with cameras and she found multiple, but most of them gave
00:00:07
some kind of excuse for why they couldn't help. They were either like, "Oh, we don't like have tape or whatever
00:00:12
or tape erases after 24 hours or if you want our tape, you got to bring the police back with you." But thankfully,
00:00:18
there was one business that still had footage and they were willing to let Kelly see it. And this camera is pointed
00:00:26
in the direction of one of the two gates that allows people on and off this property. And just to like orient you,
00:00:34
so like imagine you're overhead looking down on a rectangular building running vertically.
00:00:39
At the bottom, you have like the main road and to the right and left of this building, you can enter what's basically
00:00:44
like a parking lot that runs like a U around the building. And the loading dock where Spencer is eventually found
00:00:50
is like in the very back. So from the vantage point overhead, the camera is pointing at the entrance on the left.
00:00:57
Now Kelly spends hours going through the footage which seems to only capture when
00:01:00
it's motion activated, but she's hoping to see some sign of Spencer going behind
00:01:05
the business between July 28th and August 1st. And while she doesn't get any confirmed footage of him on this
00:01:12
camera, there is something that catches her eye. The timestamp on the footage said that
00:01:18
it was just after 10:00 p.m. on July 29th when a car pulls up to the entrance. The security gate is already
00:01:27
open, so this car can drive right through. But as it does, it turns off its lights. Now the quality isn't great
00:01:35
and what we've got is a video that Kelly took of the original footage on her phone, but you can see that the car
00:01:42
pulls in, goes off screen and then it's out of sight for less than 15 minutes. Then it
00:01:48
comes back and just leaves the way it came in.
