I hope he does. I hope we do find him, but it. If anyone deserved to be loved and justice beauty and this world with him when I was looking at todd social media accounts. I kept seeing really sweet pictures of him with this cat mckenna, told me how much this cat meant to Todd

in my view the most important thing, and it is. Why is this that you got for his birthday. We ain't, goin yad this, but You and me and said he probably more about that gap than anything in the world and it was his best friend. You know ever You taught him how to walk on a leash, there really really big part of his life several months before had disappeared, mckenna, move back to alaska and tom Determined to get clean and move to alaska with her, he is sure to get sober. Multiple time, though I probably a six months with everyone else, It seemed like you wanted it more than anything, and he wanted it so bad. He just didn't know how to find it

It's all. He knew when I moved back to allow skirt here supposed to follow suit and come back come up here with me. Why should I figured out he's ended up sitting with his mom.

He looked well and then in spring problem back for something and then it just went down. now he laughed in my house. january and by failure. Twenty second, this all happened.

Mckenna received one last message from todd before he disappeared. This message, continues to haunt her to this day. The white matters that you sent to me. daddy here girl you twenty first was I just want you to know that you're everything I've ever wanted point? We were there weren't talking every day like we normally would like for where's, that coming from I just wanted you to know and kindly seemed like her. regular trying to tell me something. Wendy also heard from tat on the twenty first I spoke within their the twenty first you tell me you would call me the morning of the twenty second and I haven't Anything.

It was some time after this call that Todd disappeared and his family became concerned when they were unable to reach him. We don't have a solid last citing of tat because he was living a transient lifestyle. in staying in a motor home with a friend. This makes it that much harder to track down exactly when and where someone disappeared tie. did have a cell phone on him when he went missing his family at home that is cell phone records- would lead them to some answers very correct was telling me that, since my son of an adult, she can't penis form because Isn't he had his permission? You do me I'm trying to roadblock like that, but she did go into my sense. Phone records curious phone number, I said that there has been any activity on it, since it disappearance in it, to find more information they ve had to track.

And the friends at tat had been hanging out with leading up to his disappearance. This has led them to some disturbing rumours there. Of course, numerous rumours, but my and was not hanging out with good people. From what we heard and we keep hearing over and over again is that he was with Dennis and his girlfriend, and what, before that this denison and I'm A guitar worth seven thousand dollars, I guess, and these people came after the tenders this guy is growth really earned? He He blamed it on my son and ended up setting up my son to meet these people did whatever happened to him and heard that they and their way with me

turn and rolled into copy in rome in the river, and then the other one is that they threw him in a hole. So I don't know. I know this isn't like my son. Never to call me Dennis his own story about what happened to Todd he's, trying to say is that him and my son and Denis his girlfriend went out to go par prowling and that tried ran off into the He didn't know anyway, so he came back without causing any was never to be seen again. but he learned tat off somewhere in kind, never returned and then two weeks later, when they found out that we were looking for cod and we set the police to go. Look this dennis. allured. Him is what were hearing lord him to meet up with these people we're looking for where restore back a car buyers.

He told them you wanna, go car prowling, and all I know is that he tried to state tat, ran into the good. You really think you probably crowd underground. bushes or something you make it sound like. He was sick and died, or something Then, after a while, this generous had said that he would meet us at the woods. Were Todd entered As he said, I want this cannon overweight and then he never showed up. It's been stated he had caught phone and that which was this complete vs thing or two. Left it at his uncles earth believe it was his uncle there's grandpas months before, and he just found at which is crap because I was just Communicating with my son on there denying now that he has it weeks. retired, disappeared, his belonging started to appear in strange places around town two weeks after he was reported missing, someone drop it up.

His backpack with his iD, and all of that and just left it inside a cafe thing. Whole foods cafe thing just left it there and then, a couple of months ago, some guy said that he was walking back some field, and this is where that Denis guy would stay and found. I'm my son's skateboard doing it in some clothes thrown to the side of the world. Wendy told me this. I was hopeful that they have been able to pull surveillance from the whole foods to see who had left a backpack there. now every time there is supposedly citing four things happening in certain areas. The detective, though, told me boy was either a race or eight. Eighty out medically razor and starts over again after week. The two that some some excuse.

So who is leaving todd belongings around and why are they trying to make it look like todd still out there, wendy has it did you get to the bottom of this card was day in a motor home with Alec, who is friends in the same circle and different conflicting stories. There, too, and I'm wondering if it didn't come from the motor home, because this Dennis is claiming when they got back or he got back and target richard trotted left it back in the motor home when I asked this Alec who owned the motor home for my son backpack uses. Oh, it was stolen. He handed it appeared there. There's another person, who's been acting kind of strange than Todd disappeared. That's the guy that he'd been staying within the motor home. There was possibly they were behind the walmart when this happened and then

that's what the guy that, on the motor home said and then later they were saying: oh, they were parked behind whole foods. But when pardon my sense disappearing, the police came. Knocked on this matter home and couldn't get a response. and then the honor howling whitney answered Door- and he immediately called his mom that evening in was asking her to bring over cleaning supplies and she thought it: they even have a non textile variant. And I'd hounded and handed in handed the detective on this to please check out that motor home what turns out a little while later he had a fire angry in between the front seats of this motor home moon fire under there, and he got it told to a towing yard. While he lit relinquished his right.

But before that happened after and they told the work was, and she said that she needed to spur to warrant for it, but she knew the probable cause. So she road block that While we knew the person that own this to yard, he said that he would hold it which he did and now agree to all these rights to it. So they owned it. So he said that the police could come out any time they want. They didn't need a warrant and they could go through that this day, They could find dna anything. I told her I don't know how many times and she kept roadblock me with something and then a couple. a few months ago. Actually I told her room I need to her about it and she said I it burned to the ground and it's like now. She did it because she had told me before.

Now that she needed the warrants decision that so she let that go, what happened was when I call them to see. Ok he's all right. If she comes to look now, does it's been a while they set out what we had to recycle it, because we waited and waited for the police to come, but they never did so. She blew that out. We try to leader, aware in others always some truth. Rumours, I believe, especially when their persistent on the same path and telling her please you don't do this or that in she did totally roadblocks everything in it. because you're not doing anything, she doesn't want to. She told me that she feels like So I'm going to jail that no something in there looking at times. She says I feel that they're gonna reach out. for me and try to make a plea.

Todd's case has promised to contact the illumination police department to see if they can work together to establish. If these rumours are true or if they're, just in fact, rumours they

It sounds do it, she did get them to do in this mac petition city. No, we don't have jurisdiction there. And then she never got back to me about that, and I have hounded and she disliked call me back. She won't answer my messages, nothing return called. anything. She is written me off the planet. The stories that wendy has heard suggested Dennis his girlfriend Stephanie and Alec were altogether the night at todd, disappeared, hem dennis and his staff for all together. The night Edith appeared all of us ray of them, and they were all in that motor home together. So Alex He doesn't know anything. I dont believe it you're the one who doubted its marbre cleaning supplies. He wasn't cooperating again with Egypt

sing out. Well, you stick into a story so, but now who wouldn't, but this Alex have come on. I've got numerous text from him and even other people verifying where this is a huge changing his story all the time. It never comes back the same story, it's always differently. and you never existed. Dennis Stephanie and Alec all have extensive criminal records. One That stuck out to me when I was looking at them, was the eloquence, large with kidnapping and two thousand thirteen, and there were several assault charges related to this offence, including strangulation, stephanie has a long history of drug charges and Denis has many many theft related charges. this was incarcerated for a period of time after time disappeared. The debt, I was able to listen and on his conversations with his girlfriend hoping

find some information that would lead them to Todd. I dont know sherpas brought him in that their data there. She said that she talked his hand and she At that time you went to jail. You wasn't looking at much time and the girl frank, hamburg, ringing, and she said there was nothing off to her. She said she was listening and under sitting on the phone call her. Then she said she didn't kill anything was asked, but I'm telling you she said he mentions. oh, how I miss tired and if that off, I don't What is because why, in this guy's, not stupid as far as knowing that they do listen to your phone call, why would he, when you know this, is going on his guard at the blue go. I really miss tat in IRAN and she's trying to say she didn't, feel that with I'm sorry, this, daphne the sinister girlfriend she's with him her, where she was with gambling when they saw went down stuff

he is currently incarcerated in the washington correction centre for women and has indicate that she wants to talk about what she knows. That beneath tat is willing to talk In the beginning of this definitely was taught to by someone a friend or touch asking that thing and she was crying and thing she felt better. How do you know she want? done and over with them before she was thing I can't live with myself. Knowing what I now I bet, then she went labyrinth, she just cry and then she shut down in it spend a nightmare with these two one of the distant rumours is at todd, was thrown into the knook sack river. A what where they sorrowing crab plot in that river on the rise and down people are saying yeah, someone's calling crab date. We know that the bellingham police department hasn't been able to search the river in this area, but wendy

hoping to get permission for some divers to search the water I do have a friend who lives in that way that had some friends they do diving he's going to target. for me to see if they wouldn't and here or you know, some kind of see if it's possible, if they, Not dive were a couple of these places where rumor is where he was thrown in, so I'm waiting on that right now do too complicated jurisdictional issues in this case, Wendy has hoping that the f b, I would get involved, help move this case forward to I've tried to reach out to the fbi as well. that they can't do anything and let the police department reaches out to them. So I asked please reach out to them so that I can get the f b. I am problems because they do have reservation jurisdiction, and ass. She says, oh, I know someone aren't who works with the fbi and she said I will talk to her

give her a foul car every time I try to call. She would always have an excuse for it, result. She was in a meeting this too that or something you I I've you didn't have to do so. in the last three amendments she has just said we read me ass. I do don't get anywhere with current in our. She made me promise that she would never give up on this I always always on diner, mind everyday daily, but that was like you in discovering very very many many lies the only covered. My son is getting as the posters that we made in the gulf I I set up otherwise he's just means nothing. One option that we always have to consider and missing persons cases is if the person could have just walked away and decided to start over somewhere else could tie I have decided that a clean break from his life was something that he needed.

He told me why she believes that he would not have done ass. Did he wouldn't builders to his family? He wasn't. He worked like that. If you had a big its heart- and he said this- wouldn't do that- I lost my my son back in December two thousand and fifteen, and he knows how hard that was and has been for me, and he wouldn't do this to me. You wouldn't make me go through this. it's worrying and not telling me something. So that's why I just believe: there's been foul play- and I just want to find my son until I can put him to rest. To his brother. I say that because I recorded to the final, but it does not look good. My

broke for wednesday when she told me about losing one son in two thousand fifteen and then having Todd go missing in two thousand seventeen that just too much from one family to endure. You off your families on the show express how hard the not knowing is wendy plain to me how different the healing process has been between these two tragedies. The nightmare every day. You know I've. When my eighteen year old son taught it was tragic, and I still fight the sunday to keep my head above water this just, I can't explain, losing a child and them he held? The hearing is coming slowly, though I dont think you will ever be complete, but it's something where you can at least keep going. With this right now and not knowing about my son it it's such a limbo situation, it there's no showing that could come of this as

Is right now not knowing their No answer so there's no point of hearing or or anything it's this tonight, marital stagnant nightmare. When I was seeking to Mckenna she expressed to me just how much todd meant to her and how he taught her so much about accepting others. P. often judge Todd just by looking at him because he had attached to I'm an umbrella next to his eye or because this piercings, but he didn't judge others in this way or show any one less kindness because they judged him. He wasn't. to stand out and he was also known to be a selfless person When he was living on the street, he would often give them little food that he had to others who were need there is how much more detailed than his struggles with addiction and his disappearance has devastated. So many who knew him die. Our conversation mckenna said something that has really stuck with me. I mean we're on the street together

even in our darkest days when we were holding signs and shrieking bellingham. I look back and those were still the best days of my life because he was here, and I know that a lot of other for that. You need a lot of other people, feel that way to die. being gunners treatments, but a little better. Not really a light in the world without him anymore. You know just how first turn out. So what happened to type bernard do you know that he was in contact with his mom and mckenna on the twenty first and then activity on his phone stopped will the stories continue to point back to several of his friends and we know

but the one friend claims to be the last person with tat when he allegedly ran into the woods he no claim to have tat phone but said, Todd had left it at the home of one of his family members well before his disappearance that doesn't makes It's because we know that tat had been using the phone to contact, friends and family during the time that, as claimed that it had been left their doable, the story about the stolen guitar, or is that a cover for something else, one in that wendy mentioned to me, was that these friends of mine that's who are, admittedly, the last to see him never made contact asking about his case or a few and found? And that really stands out to her, because they were supposed to be close friends? Are they could Because they know what happened at heart and who was drawn in his belongings, often random places? I think what you ve heard about Todd's disappearance is probably some mix of truth and rumours I strongly believe that there are other people out there who have information that could break this case. I dont know

You're not coming forward because are afraid or possibly because of their own criminal activity. But if that's you, about the pain you heard him wendy's voice and consider making an anonymous tat at the time Of Todd's disappearance he was six feet tall and weighed approximately one hundred and forty pounds brown, hair and brown eyes, todd also has many tattoos too. That I will mention include the umbrella tattoo next to his eye in the portland across his fingers you have any information about the disappearance of type renard. You can contact the bellingham police department at three Zero, seven, seven, eight, eight six one one. You can see a tip anonymously at c, o b dot, org, slash tips. You can also send information to his mom, Wendy and I'll include her email address in the episode notes. If you'd like Hello Todd's case on social media. There's a facebook group called justice for tied renard,

sometimes I get insensitive comments. When I cover missing people who have struggled with addiction, such a major epidemic in communities all over this country that we shouldn't ignore. I can to tat story after dealing and continuing to deal with my own sisters, addiction for much of my life, These are the stories that don't get much attention, but many people are devastated by Todd's disappearance and they are victims of this too, Please remember that before making an unkind comment, That brings us to the end of episode, one hundred and thirteen I like to think wendy and mckenna for taking the time to speak with me. If you like to reach me there's a page in a discussion group on facebook. Just The vanished pie and you'll find them twitter at the vienna pot and also on instagram.
