as how he was, we handled himself kind of, he got that feeling that he was searching for a criminal and that's when he told me that my son was a drug dealer. you you're here for next semester. next year. she kind of told us that he wasn't just using marijuana that he was actually selling it on campus. and he has had a felony against him and they haven't charged him with it yet. but he was pending to all these deliveries. they took place on campus, both their hands, so they're on and then he told us that andrew was a competent, short form. it asked for you to do is to do some buyers for me that were you that to where wire you have to go buy marijuana. i didn't even know what that was and i

had no idea what he was. even talking about what that meant. me each individual we do, we have do 2 deals. okay, so you have to thinking, well, this is susan andrew. how can he, how can this, have you been talking about the same guy? i mean, just the agent, whoever told us that they believed, or he believed that he, andrew was on the run because he had to make these buys by may 1st and he only done half of them. you don't check with me if i lose contact with you. i'm just going to assume that you don't want to work anymore in that i'm just the warrants or your us and then in jail. so i was just blown away. i mean, here my fun is missing and, and now they tell me he's a drug dealer or didn't make sense to me,

but none of that made sense. nothing made sense. i mean, tammy, just didn't know what to do. i mean, as far as what even to believe really and and where to turn in. and then sergeant helgren's son wanted us to do a press conference. we love you and we want you. we need to come home. everything will be okay. we pleaded for andrew on that news conferenced to come in like they wanted us to have him turn himself in. we love you. and we once you home with us, everything will be okay. mm. i frankly not recall the ride or anything. cuz you know,

we up and left and i was kind of in freefall, it just seemed like it was snowballing, rapidly, everything seemed to be fine. and i mean, there were no red flag, nothing. that's what's making this so difficult for us as law enforcement it's i mean the read the news the school then a visual from other students put together. and they asked me to talk eric and i said some words from a little speech and, you know,

just begun farm to come home like if you are in trouble or just come home, want to help your friends most of the electrical programs era as far as the faculty and the students, you know, people are pretty generous and they're going to give up their time and they're gonna, they're gonna form these search parties and they're going to go scour. wherever law enforcement has identified us as potential places to walk me to campus police, i'm going to go back to class that basically turn to say where you don't want any more students going missing. like what makes no sense? is there a black hole, pine tree somewhere that you didn't tell anybody about and people are falling into it? me. we went just to places that we had gone when we got to go cruising or something. so can we drive down all the roads to go and put our heads together and

try to hardest to find something, get some sort of clue as to what happened or where he was or, and what was going on, but can come up with anything and started to seem like there was something else going on and we learned that the college police department was the ones investigating this situation. me campus police are supposed to make sure that you behave. make sure you're following the rules of the campus. he snuck, bearing the room, look out for the campus, police, that's their job, and the campus police should have turned the situation over to another agency immediately. they just don't have the experience and training necessary to deal with the situation. i anders static n d s. the student disappeared on may 1st last seen leaving is dharm at the

campus of the article to state college of science as parents are john and tammy tammy. good to have you. i news in the morning give me an evaluation of where this search for andrew is that basically don kohls off with so far as the campus police are concerned. and we're not going to stop looking for a living else in the living hell. and so why is the funds that are other so this is really a bad time a year and now he's gone to how do you feel that the state college of science has been in dealing with this situation? to me, it seems like they're not doing anything. andrea case just made me feel frustrated . but once you start hearing that other stations are having just as much difficulty

getting basic answers, you realize there's something more going on. people were just trying to come up with theories and i think that's natural when you don't have a lot of answers, you want to find something me i would say probably after the 2nd week started having some notes about how tall it is on be in. take care of their investigative skills, are pretty limited as science when i could see, you know, we thought that they were probably doing his best. they could, i don't know. i guess they didn't seem to frantic about trying to find him, i guess, but i asked him if they had checked with any of the other surveillance stuff in town. you know, as far as simeon andrew are seeing a movement at his car moved, you know, i said,

what did you check with the train and the and tax season and any of that stuff if it's handers, gotten any about and checked in fargo. if any, anybody's seen him there or anything like that. oh no, that's a good idea. i think it was just i don't know what they were doing. i mean the other than waiting for a phone call, i guess i don't understand what you're doing. this went on for i say, week's and not the trash news today. folks in the andrew sad case, the young man we've all been searching for since he went missing on may 1st. and now warrant has been issued for andrew's arrest. static is wanted on drug charges details. these charges are still emerging, but andrew was allegedly caught selling marijuana on 2 occasions on april, 4th, and april 9th, 2013. 1 sale was for 20 bucks. the other was for $60.00. the

was like, are you kidding me? all of this for $80.00 worth of pot. my son is missing for $80.00 for it's a part i was wild. wild. show me a campus where you cannot find $80.00 worth of time me. i remember waking up the news that he had been charged, i was like, what is this? i was this even a thing they can do like this is completely, are trying your friend home. and now you're going to throw some kind of bogus charge. yeah. like i had not put it together at all. how does warm does happen now that have gone missing? what crime did you commit? where did they see him?

what? like how to, why is that happening now? so i knew it was everything was just confusing, a little mess for awhile there. like that whole month was the most confusing thing ever happened. me ended up filing the warrants, i think on monday. and they thought the other police have to get involved. you know, just kind of everybody's looking for them then i think that was the reasoning for filing the charges so that kind of shut down the public's willingness to help. nobody wants to look for a drug dealer. my own mother to this day, the leads that andrew was a drug dealer. anybody that knew him knew there was more to the story. i assume that, you know, he just took off and this is just more than he can handle. but at the same time i, i had this idea that, yeah, but where's, where's it going?

where, where is he going to go on? me? you're going to be original often that we see that if you don't check with me and contact with you, i'm just gonna assume that you don't want to work anymore in that. i'm just going to the lawrence ah me. i was having a panic here, sitting in the pedicure chair with my feet in the water and surging helga some called. he said, what are you doing? and i said, i'm having a pen carrying those. are you alone? and i'm like, no the girls here, you know what? he goes. whereas john and i said he's on a fishing trip. get him home. me

. i was actually fishing with my buddies, just can't get a weekend away. ah, tammy had called me that they had found a body in the river and i knew it was handed. ah, i just got to the house and of course were waiting. the sheriff showed up with tammy's pastor, and told with andrew, ah, ah, i, the

ah, [000:00:00;00] in there is your media, a reflection of reality the, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation or community. you going the right way?

where are you being somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah. join me every 1st day on the alec salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me. i mean, you know, whereas he, you know, it's all different. so when you finally, when they finally found the body and they knew that he was dead and i remember just

like i couldn't keep my eyes dry because this is just like 3 ality. i know me is tough. i mean, deep down, you kind of knew it has been a long time. you just didn't want to accept it. phillips lack in the phase. ah, ah, ah, in the surgeon hinson called us,

i grabbed john every time he spoke, it was something new and bizarre. he said andrew was shot in the head and had a backpack or rocks tied to them. that's when he told us over the phone. he believed it was us as suicide. he was just waiting on the coroner. and once he found the gun, it would be confirmed that it was a suicide me. so the 1st day i met tammy, she decided i'm going to talk to the news. so i walked in, i didn't know what to expect. you know what i mean? we had heard about what was happening, but i didn't know i was just walking into this. and tammy said, my son was killed and i had to call my producers like, hey, this is actually your story today. i know you just wanted me to get a sound but here,

but this is your story. she sensor some was killed me. andrew sonics, mom tammy sat. i spoke at a local radio station today saying she believe her son was murdered. we discovered that when andrew was found on june 27th, he wasn't wearing the same clothes he might missing in cameras. in his dorm caught this footage. he was last seen wearing this sweatshirt, but when his body was found, he was wearing a different jacket. ah, he was shot in the head, his backpack was weighted down and he was thrown in the river. the backpack or rocks, was kind of the kicker for me. and like if you're going kill yourself, he can do that anywhere. why would you need to make your body disappear?

who andrew was shot with a 22 andro went into the red river and he came up on the minnesota side of the red between him leaving that dorm. and when he was shot, there was a change of was there were rocks in the backpack for me personally. andrew was murdered. makes more sense of what the cops could come up with. and all they could come up with is a suicide. like, wow, that's it. guided roxanne is backpack tied to his body. that doesn't sound like a suicide. that sounds like murder one on one. in this developing story, tammy static is fighting back tears as she talks about not having answers in her son's death or just really hasn't been any effort to keep this family updated. the static family is bringing their own attorneys to the fight and now they want the f b i to investigate. i think people knew it was

a major story right away. when that happened, people knew something was going on. that just doesn't happen. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that, something else had to be happening. they're not going to do their job to let the f b i get involved. somebody that can look at this case fresh without this suicide in the back of their minds, you know, planted by the campus police and everything. i want them to look at the whole case objectively when i met tammy that day and had a personal conversation with tammy, i thought ok, we have the power of journalism. we have the power of finding public records. we have the power of being able to hold those who are paid by tax dollars accountable . ah, we talked about that. she didn't have a lot of questions and can't seem to figure out where to get the answers. do you

know where she should be working? no, i really don't know where, where she should be looking on on that it. i think a lot of people have a lot of question. ah tons of stand, the invest a process. you just really have to look at the timeline of the events that took place when andrew was reported missing on i believe it was may 2nd the campus police. the dfcs were the lead investigators, by june, shortly before andras body was found. there were i would say 3 or 4 different law enforcement agencies that were involved. but it was really stell to this point, hard to tell who was actually in charge, who was actually doing anything ah, the investigation was turned over to the b. c. a in minnesota, but in dfcs was originally investigating the north dakota a g 's office and b,

c. i, in their report said it was a minnesota b c a case, the b c. a said that's not true, they have nothing to do with it. i was furious saying the way everything was be presented from start to finish. the way the police were handling it from pretty much de one and a static death investigation is being handled by campus police. the minnesota police are not working with the campus. police cops aren't sharing information. i was absolutely delight away. very lay way of putting in the f. b. i's response was essentially that they weren't asked by local law enforcement to be involved unless they were asked by law enforcement to get involved. there was no reason for them to get involved at that point. all due respect to the campus, police, you know, they've got

a job to do and it is not investigating a potential murder. i remember asking this school official. do you feel like you're in over your head? and i don't really remember his response, so that time i don't know if he how response or not. but that was one of the last times we ever got to talk to a school official about the case. no one wanted responsibility and so if you didn't want responsibility in the front end by doing anything on the backend, you were taking responsibility. and so they were, it was much easier to use the narrative of he took his own life because then he was responsible. the police came here. oh, i can't remember how long after his body was found. it was a lie, a low and basically told us the progress or

lack of progress that they were at what stage the investigation was. we didn't know all the particulars. they didn't tell us all the evidence of what was going on, but they weren't telling us everything. i, we were at that time just trying to find anything, any document or any video they had. tammy had told us that they had his cell phone . tammy told us they had a laptop, things like that, so we were asking. okay, did you find information on his laptop? could we get a copy of that or do you have video documentation of him being interviewed? why i didn't know what i was expecting, but when i 1st pressed play,

almost felt wrong. watching him. jason webber was yeah. it was just like you could enact me over with a feather related november 22nd thing is 20th birthday. it starts off with smart alec comment that you don't want to spend your birthday here. very well. you expressed interest? oh, okay. like i said, you're facing to melanie's and then course. and this meter church from yesterday. it's a 25 minute video. it took me probably a week to get through it. that's probably not a way to start off your young adult placement. right. so the police came in and destroyed is for why the this is

a kid to college. so i mean that the got me and it inspired me to really look at the case, but look at the case, i'm not looking to hang on the lease or any, but i'm looking at the fact that when i saw the fact i was scandalized, i was i had never seen anything is bad, it's good ways attacks me in the morning or the night before we use on for tomorrow while i'm off tomorrow and then you can opt out of that. so for my analysis of it was really simple. line them up, next, find criminals and get evidence, line them up, line them up when a rest and conversion to inform is because we got or agents that i work with. we are, you know, you're not like the only see we are working with other people and we work a big area where,

who's it for one mission to get another informant and another arrest number. and he did include thing is the investigation, the one that conducts justification. what did you, for instance, when you interrogated him, find out what his source was? could it be that you didn't do it because if you questions too much, you'd find out that it was one of the other informants who gave it to you. and if that's the case, you understand, you committed a felony, you the police office. if that's the case, just like in your situation, you have no clue who probably around you all, you know when this out. ok. you probably maybe try to think of ideas and stuff, but i'm not going to tell you if you have informa giving don't to subject subject gives just to inform it to was the investigation. you the guy in charge of informers,

you created the crime and that's it. perfect frames. oh, [000:00:00;00] i have to remember that we're in the middle of an opioid. epic heretic opioid epidemic. and the 1st thing i see is they haven't made want to be way to rest, not one on this. i just wonder you didn't tell me or tell anyone. mm mm mm

ah, ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah, the

me the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock and the dead calm. miss wilson in every country close by it like the crew, gavin's food and water and to go to chat for a little. i know i got everybody locked down or almost no food and no water really up to somebody in the cove. it, you're living like the female of own,

but in the 21st century. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for taishan, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk a series of linkedin messages from u. s. military revealed a panic withdrawal from i'm gonna stand with troops unable to rescue felicity business. we form a special forces. soldiers who shed the text, our biggest problem getting people out actually in the u. s. government is actually not the i know that sounds crazy that the biggest problem is not valid in italy. man,
