8:31 am
this area. mm winters can be very brutal. summers can be very hard. it's hard work. ah, we live right on the lake here. so we did a lot of fishing and hunting and as i got older i realized how incredible this was where most kids growing up get this. i where we wanted to keep it in the name. ah ah, and was really proud of his car and it was his baby. ah,
8:32 am
i feel when i'm in here that he's still around me. i can kinda feel the or of how we felt when he was driving the car. even just sit minutes. it makes me cry came just feeling how much i miss and i me the next day today. it was one of the 1st time. so i'm actually seeing the footage of it happening and watched it happen. the way that andrew was approached
8:33 am
was quick, silent without warning. relate well yeah, i think he was a bowie college kids party, their smoke pot, they drink beer. i think that he was an easy target for them. you can't tell anybody or more people that know that where it gets all walls. i do know he's going to work with you. you can't tell anybody. you can't tell your parents. you can't tell your friends. you can't talk to an attorney. you just need to come and talk to me. ah, actually the max was 40 years of prison, 40 years, and that's where, why are you have to go by marijuana for individuals and then, you know, depend upon how you do and so forth. you know,
8:34 am
a lot of this could go away. i was scandalous. i was, i never seen anything is bad. it is a good possibility that you really get person present time if you don't. yeah. there just, once you learn more of the background, you can understand why someone who had never really been in trouble and was only 20 and trying to get your college would be scared to death. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing fairly. they put him in harm's way, fast. we cleared up fast. so this wasn't right, this is corrupt. they believed him. so i'm not going to be. i know that i rather than me on
8:35 am
the life on the farm. you learn the circle of life, cattle or morn and cattle die and you're always hoping for a good crop. it's very calming and stressful at the same time, me, north dakota, it's a wonderful place to raise kids and we knew that we want to be parents at some point ah, right on top of this hills where they shook the fireworks off. usually it's on the 5th of july and there's hundreds of bows out there. and it's beautiful.
8:36 am
and we like to take the jet ski and come up the crick here. there's, i don't know a group of 4 or 5 of us that come up here. ah, son nicholas came to live with us and the situation entailed that we adopt nicholas. then in there, my sister was having a really bad part of her life. it just wasn't good. and then my parents came up with this idea that we adopt town. so we said, yeah, we would, you know, pay can so that's how we came up with like else
8:37 am
it was, i'm on a year old. i think when we got him and that was in like 89. so it was pretty early in our, in our marriage, 7 years after we were married, andrew came along. ah, nick, welcome to the little brother. oh, he was such a proud, big brother. even though they were 7 years apart actually, i think that was really a good spread. you gave me. i thought it for you. yeah, sure, sure. it's not something to write on me. nick, when he was a country boy,
8:38 am
good hard worker. wasn't really all going at all. he was quiet boy, the nick was working at the store that day and i left at noon to be in a golf tournament and it was during the summer. so he was working and i'll never forget. as i walked out the door, he was leaning on a carry out, a grocery carry, a cart said, good luck today, mom marcia tonight. and i said yeah, around midnight and he goes yup, help. oh, he got involved with his local gallagher lived a couple miles from here. just got to there one year anniversary and he was going to make supper for all of us. oh. ready ready ready on. ready ready ready ready the
8:39 am
me i read years where my son lost his life. right here. or is tabitha in a car together? oh, i don't know exactly what happened to sure. you know he's got broad sighted by a train on 5060 miles an hour. i don't know if they were moving around or something and you know, their teenage kids. exactly what happened, but it was terrific or
8:40 am
are we just kind of relied on him for a lot. so it wasn't just losing my son. like lucian kept my farming operation. i don't use it 3 time. i shut down. i didn't work for 6 months. andrew and i went to grief counseling. just it was because of andrew that i found back. cuz i'm like, somebody's gotta take care of this kid. oh, yeah. oh, i was
8:41 am
in small town, people know each other and pretty close knit community. i would say there's not a lot of crime. you know, that was a lot of the cell, you know, to mom and dad bringing their, their, their, their young adults to their campus. this is a brand new experience for a lot of them treating. i president john richmond and i want to welcome you for the north dakota state college of science. we hope that you are the heart and soul of washington is the north dakota state college of science. it is where north dakota and the region come shopping for trade and tech. it is this melting pot of ranchers, of farmers, you've got nurses, you've got dental, you've got diesel mechanics, you've got electricians. i mean,
8:42 am
you can come out and make a very good living. right away, but then there was the 99.8 or some crazy big job placement afterwards and that really caught my attention. so looks like a good place to go. like wow, as we meet your friends, you're around forever. this is where you, this is where your everything happens. you're for years that every person gets the lives and it's going to be the best in your life. oh i had no idea what i was the use of a teacher that says i want to be a truck driver. ironically. ah ah
8:43 am
ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community you going the right way or are you being somewhere really direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. remained in the shallows. ah ah, the ah
8:44 am
8:45 am
a little cruise because more times it out there was a top striving around the parking lot for the college. so that's what they're looking for. so we can not very smart just to sit in the car there, so we just go and drive around a bit and come back. nothing didn't hurt anybody in the worse it did do us, it just put us on our watch movies. the camera blazing will be faster than your joy video will be faster. but is there individual that you know on campus or tower or whatever they can buy from
8:46 am
probably about else that would be more reasonable. that'd be more reasonable is a transfer all makes money, a campus knew more than just 2 people to get out a level. so tell me public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse. drugs are menacing. our society, substance abuse is a serious challenge for our nation addiction breaks. hearts destroys families and keeps our citizens from fulfilling their god given potential. what's the war on drugs? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of, of north dakota. war on drugs were on drugs and it got to be something that you
8:47 am
could get elected with you know, you had to be tough on crime. tough find crime. tough. foreign crime will selling marijuana in north dakota is a crime. and so, you know, you start seeing the feds put out more and more money to empower that. and so what happens is, it's like, you know, there's the money, go get the money. we can have another officer too if we have the money. and so therefore we're dealing with this and we're part of the world. ah, we had done a couple of stories about them making drug laws stiffer. they had this enhanced campus related drug lot. so basically if you have a little bit of weed that would maybe be a misdemeanor, if you're on a school campus that could be a felony. and so i think that their thought process and that was ok. let's prosecute people who are selling to students, or let's prosecute people that are doing something that is going to impact young
8:48 am
kids. rather than just the average adult out on the street. the local law enforcement was able to go onto a campus where they're that has its own law enforcement agency. they had essentially unfettered access to the dormitories on the dfcs campus. and they could go into the hallways. and to the end to the dorm rooms, this just seems like an unconstitutional situation. me moving to office in the number of police blew me away. i was the 1st thing i thought was like, there's a car. they get every block is kinda he used to the imminent danger of the police coming and knocking and find you and he just kind of
8:49 am
don't care me. i think we had a long night before, and i know we were both sleeping the viper off and we had a knock on the door and the heck is not anything. somebody call me if they're coming over or something. so i got up and i open the door mind whereas 2 policeman, what the heck is going on here? we can search a room really? yeah. i guess you're here. so we just, we opened up the door and they came in and i sat on my bed and sat on his bed and lay searched the room for a while. and they turned on finding a little tiny grinder. i didn't, you know, isn't there? i don't think neither sad or i knew when they found that they looked at me and then you can go to class. they shoot me away right away. it's kind of odd that i went to class and came back from class and i asked him about andrew, what happened? whatever happened about days like almost nothing, just don't tell anybody about it and just
8:50 am
a hushed me right away and i didn't tell me not tell anybody. i did mention something to eric just briefly afterwards because i was in shock that happened of wasn't ready for it's for sure me. drew ahead whispered something to me in private with just the 2 of us. something by the cops that came in search to our room. we're did you know, but that was something i felt like had happened to anybody threw into classes like so i didn't, i didn't know and i just assumed it was fine. more of everyday was in campus, police force me i
8:51 am
i gave them a big hug and thanked him for helping me. and he says, and i asked him what he's going to do. and he says, i gotta, i gotta go down. i gotta date. oh so hard. mm hm. and said i told him i loved him and he told me loan me and got his current away. last last time i seen him. ah, i remember was after class we start adding back the norms
8:52 am
and static got a call and he's like, he got a party later nosing now, i guess walked up the stairs and he said, i'll come get you when i'm ready and i said hurts feel it i'm in 11 flight of stairs and i was it for the end of the night as my cap. i take sad, i can hey, do you want to saga cigarette or something? so got me and andrew is up in the room and we went up and married, drew, and andrew had a movie. so he just put it on and kind of bought the movie and sat there and nothing seemed weird. all like just hanging out like every other day ever when the movie is over, i remember i was pretty ready for bed. and then eric marigold went back to his room and sat. it was ready for bed and then he got up and he's like, i had to go sometimes he'd go out and party was the girl i met.
8:53 am
ah, he asked me even if i wanted to come with him. i'm already have asleep, man, you gotta do it. i'll be. i'll be here when you get back. when he wasn't there, when i woke up and looked over his, i wasn't better than go see him in class in the morning. so dried don, nothing on me. injury class and static wasn't a class. i mean he's late. sometimes there was like, wasn't like alarming. maybe he's, you know, what is some girl or something you know? no big deal. go to lunch. ah. throughout the day, you didn't find any more tags or me and all the friends coverage constantly kind of pestering them all the trans, send them snaps detection and stuff throughout the day. just fishing for reply, trying to see where a friend is as a day went on, we've got a class with a supper with paul marsh, and i remember him specifically making more of a big deal about either of us. it just wasn't like us to not tax back,
8:54 am
not answer, snapshots. that's back on the stamps. i still have the whole they can, you can see if they open it thing and you i don't think he was opening anything. were like weird. i think we were connecting dots and like this is not right. the next day we're like, dude, you got to call someone, i guess for lunch or like, well go see if we can get his mom parents, phone number from the college. so we went over there and we just asked to take, can we get statics, parents, phone numbers to get ahold of them and just see if he's at home or something. so they kind of freaked out right away. they're like, well, you don't know where your friend is. you don't know like what worries out like what was last time you song, we were like, do we just got him in so much trouble? ah. friday at noon, the phone rang and they asked for andrew and they didn't identify
8:55 am
themselves. and i don't know why and his way at school and they're like, this is a school and said that he was missing. and i'm like, when you mean missing, he's on campus. he lives on campus, hopefully be missing. and she said he is missing and i want to put it on the news and i'm like put it on the news if he's missing. oh, word has gotten to us at the mighty $790.00 k of jo into our newsroom than a young man named andrew static has gone missing. andrew is a student at the north dakota state college of science. now, if you're wondering how andrew static looks, please go to k of joe dot com for that. let's help find out. oh, i had the feeling who's bad instantly. a news bad
8:56 am
news and of course we tried calling them and texting. and ah, me, maybe you skip klauser too, but the for missing for a day without letting us know what's going on. that wasn't, it wasn't andrew. and one of the never happened. ah, so then right then and there i knew there was some, some good. ah, we decided to just drive down there and see what's going on because we knew it was more serious than jim just taken off. all friends gathered on the campus of n dfcs today baffled why, why would he just do this? so of course graduation, you know, countless searches and still nothing. we've never had a student missed this long term. most of them we find within 24 hours. so it's been very, very frustrating. we're in campus, police sergeant halligan's office and jason weber came in
8:57 am
all helga and said that jason webber was the one in charge. and that andrew was in a lot of trouble with drugs. and i was like, trouble with drugs andrew the i have often said transparency for the powerful premises for the last bit about privacy. what people care about is power. julian, a son just become a symbol of the battles of brevity, information is power. that's what's going on, a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have
8:58 am
a right to know what to do. watch houses help shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer. in such a situation. it's remarkable to survive when i would say wrong, why don't i just don't rule out. this thing becomes the after kid an engagement equal trail. when so many find themselves well, the parts we choose to look for common ground in the pacific leg around the world. expedition
8:59 am
by 1000 miles round the clock in the wall instead cobb miss spanish as every country close by like the crew. gavin's food and water and food to those for a show later on, the little thing is got everybody locked down or almost no food and no one really. you know, i'm not sure somebody either stuck in the cove it you're living like the fema of own but in the 21st century. ah
