This episode discusses the mysterious circumstances surrounding Spencer's death, focusing on the connection to a person named Angel, and the implications of their brief relationship.

The conversation reveals that after Spencer's death, a Snapchat suggestion linked to Spencer's name caught the attention of a reporter. The username included the word 'smiley' followed by six digits, which matched Angel's birthday.

Listeners learn that Angel had only known Spencer for about three weeks after they met at a detox program. Spencer had taken Angel in during a time of homelessness, demonstrating his commitment to helping others.

Despite their short acquaintance, Angel's presence in Spencer's life raises questions, especially since he was found in Spencer's apartment shortly before the body was discovered. The discussion includes Angel's inconsistent statements about checking into rehab and the lack of phone activity on Spencer's phone after a certain date.

The episode highlights the complexity of Spencer's relationships and the potential implications of Angel's involvement in the events leading up to Spencer's death.

TLDR

The episode examines Spencer's death and Angel's questionable involvement after a brief friendship.

2:14
00:00:00
H told our reporter that sometime after Spencer's death, she was on Snapchat and
00:00:06
she saw Spencer's name pop up as like a suggested friend. Like cuz it's people in her contacts or whatever.
00:00:12
But under his name is what stopped her in her tracks because it was a username she didn't recognize.
00:00:18
It started with smiley and then it had six numbers after it. And when it hit her who that could be,
00:00:27
it stopped her dead in her tracks. The six digits in the username that popped up on Kate's phone
00:00:35
were an exact match for Angel's birthday. Angel, whose middle name by the way includes
00:00:42
smiley, and they know this for a fact because Kelly found Angel's driver's license in
00:00:49
Spencer's apartment with his full name and date of birth. So let's go back to Angel for a second.
00:00:55
It turns out we know he only knew Spencer for like 3 weeks. Like I said, they met at that detox program that he
00:01:01
went to on the 10th. After that, Spencer let Angel stay with him while they waited for their spots to open up in the
00:01:06
rehab center. Angel was experiencing homelessness and Spencer had made it his life's mission to help people in similar
00:01:13
situations to Angel. Now when Kelly was telling us about Angel and the way that he was basically integrated into all the
00:01:20
different aspects of Spencer's life, you could have made us believe that Spencer
00:01:23
had known this guy for years. And listen, being an associate doesn't make him complicit. Neither does him being
00:01:30
found in the apartment the day before Spencer's body is discovered and likely after he was already dead.
00:01:36
>> If that white Kia is really involved. >> Right, if. But Angel lied about Spencer's whereabouts. Like he's saying
00:01:42
that he checked in to the rehab place which like doesn't make sense to me because they've
00:01:47
been doing everything together. You know Spencer's not coming home cuz you're there. You didn't check into rehab. So
00:01:53
like what's up? And Spencer was on Kelly's phone plan, right? Like did she pull the logs? Was there any more
00:01:59
activity? Oh, yeah. Again, she's a crime junkie. That's one of the first things she did. There was no outgoing activity
00:02:05
after the 27th. And only two numbers had like been incoming after that. So, the phone basically had stopped using her
00:02:12
phone plan.
