And introduce himself met with the engineers and explained a little more about himself in the project he was for one of Florida's fortune, five hundred companies so joining forces. We caliber of property developer would be an extremely lucrative partnership for Brazos Ned right thought, Brazos seemed like a perfect fit. He asked if he could. viewed the teams resonates had made everyone in the office saying a like. This I can and look in the rye before a while. There was a

in the office that something big and exciting was about to happen, but it was followed by disappointment. A few days later, NED found Brazos and said the bank wanted them to partner with a bigger firm, so he wouldn't be able to While I threw within negotiations liner, that wake A man phoned Brazos and asked to speak to Gary Patterson when Gary answered the call he found that it was actually net growing. On the other end, had given the receptionist the false night, as didn't want anyone to know it was him calling lined that, although they wouldn't be able to partner with browsers that were in the past to hire someone to head up part of the operation- and I wanted to speak to Gary about coming on board net, had been impressed with him they didn't one other staff a browser tonight until I couldn't go, she had something over the next three weeks. Gary took several calls

night at his desk and became a bit of a joke with the receptionist. She knew it was same person, but she couldn't, get why he was giving a different name: age, Tommy Cold. She does through two Gary saying Gary. It's that strange man from Florida, He doesn't want me to know who is NED Rod explain and to carry that there were willing to offer him a high position with a better salary. If he joined them. There was a it operates, unity and Gary was excited, but he kept these cool. It kept the offer on the download only telling his girlfriend his parents and a few of his trusted work might ned. returned to Florida, and he wanted to know if Gary would consider flying out there for a few days to make nets partner.

The getaway, after all, the stress of the last couple of ease,

When net go back, he said there was a change of plans. He could not make Gary at Waco Airport NED had to fly out unexpectedly for the development project and he was actually there right now. The garret couldn't make it and the planned fell through, but NED found. Another opportune He explained to Gary that the CIO was going to be in El Paso in early May to survey a new developments whatever there over there, and it would be the perfect opportunity for the three of them we made it. Ned offered to fly Gary to the far West. it's a city where they would finalize his employment contract and get acquainted I I was happy and Gary was still interested. They were planning to.

The head of the new operational, if Gary of great to take the job, good evening arranges new company car straight away. The shipper lies a burden and he could draw back home to wake up if it decided not to take the job. There would be no hard feelings and they would fly him home a company jet that would even make the meeting on a Saturday so as not to disrupt his current position Gary He had absolutely nothing to lose. It was the talk of opportunity, they didn't come around every day and he was prepared to say what came of it. If you didn't get. It would always wonder what, if. Gary's family and the few who knew about the job offer were happy for him. He's dead, a little sceptical, but he knew the Gary was wrong. If you didn't I would say what it was all about. He would always wonder he's only advice to Jerry was don't give them any money.

On the morning of Saturday night's third thousand, ninety seven Gary left his daughter with his parents and took a seven thirty in american Eagle Flight from Waco to El Paso. The flight took him the two women desert touching down into the fourth largest city in Texas, just before noon,. El Paso is located in the far western corner of Texas in a region, the desert known as the Trans Pecos, El Paso Borders, New Mexico to the North and West and Mexico to the south. That's close proximity to Mexico brings a mexican flavor to everything, from cuisine to the landscape and the architecture Compared to many other parts of the state, the El Paso region, is arid and mountainous. The Franklin Mountains loom over the city like a wave the Rio Grande River run smoothly down towards Mexico, where forms part of the border between the two countries outside

so. The two while in desert is sparsely populated. They mix of dry desert conditions in mountains, make for some of the harshest whether extremes imaginable. It may is usually the beginning of the most severe weather of the year. El Paso has always been associated with its high levels of poverty and dilaudid median income level, a factor which statistically can contribute to heart crime rates, but I'll pass out as default the yard and remained one of the safest cities in America. So has been ranked in the top three site to slide cities in the US, since one thousand nine hundred and ninety seven. The wind, the safest city for years in a row in more recent times. El Paso area code, to let him know he had arrived safely. He got his the answering machine, so we left a message.

the following day, was when Gary was either due to fly back to weaker or if he had accepted the job drove back in his new worker. But no one had heard from him. As not fell on that Sunday evening, Gary's parents were worried. He wasn't the sort of person to not stay in touch, especially given every when I was waiting for the Big NEWS on whether he had the new job or not after everything Gary had been through to get his daughter back. They knew that it was totally out of character for him not to contact them and let them know what was going on he was due back at work on Monday morning and he wasn't taught to not show up without calling in. when Monday came round and Gary still hadn't been in touch. His father followed a missing person report with the Waco Police Department. He knew something was wrong

He told the officer on duty that he was sure something had happened to her son. At first it was locked most other rattle missing person reports. They were concerned, loved ones, Adam There'S- something must have happened to Gary and there were the police officers who are looking for more logical explanation. after their cursory checks on Gary came up with nothing like our investigators, detective stave January and to take these Christina Woodroof went to browsers to find out more about. The job carried was going full and the fortune five hundred company, who was Jimmy when staff at browser is put together all of the information they had on the mysterious ned wrought. It became clear that I didn't know very much. They had his description.

some brave infer when he's companies intentions- and I knew it was from Florida that was about it back at the station. The detectives put together what I had and began to look for NED right. He was described this Sunday and what male approximately fifty years of age, five fade out interest or one hundred ninety to two hundred pounds. The receptionist had seen NED draught come and go in a taxi and detective Christina Atwood. Knew there was only one taxi company in the area: Yellow Cab, Waco, Texas, And they had seven cars at the most operating by law tax. Drivers had to keep a logbook detailing where they picked each passenger up and where they dropped them off down at the Yellow cab office. A lot I showed that rod that went to Gary's work, the dinette ride arrived had come from a hotel,

going downtown Waco called the Fairfield Inn. When I spoke to the driver, he remembered picking up the FED but he couldn't really give them any further. Reeves I about be out said the detectives went to the hotel. They asked the the records of people staying there. In the dice surrounding NED's arrival La Brasa, there were plenty of checking records But no one registered under the ninth NED right. The next thing I checked was the hotel's phone records. for outgoing caused either Gary's home or work after searching Pages and pages of records they finally got a hit room. One to Show the series of coals to Brazos Environmental and engineering room one to and five was paid for in cash. The room was registered to a man from Florida named TED Young.

Ted young had to like a photocopy of your passport with the hotel, stuff and detectives realized the similarities between the description of that grow in the possible side out with TED Young detective Jen. We took a copy of the passport photo and made a federal law up to take to the browser is office, one of Gary's I work is immediately identified. The photograph of TED Young as being NED right. With the mystery business may not benefit, they got to work tracking TED Young down there was no surprise when they found out that he had no toys to any fortune. Five hundred development companies in Florida. For the past two and a half years, TED Young had actually been a federal fugitive. He had been evicted in South Carolina in twenty six million dollar fraud case, and he was sentenced to fifty two months in a federal prison,

Only TED never showed up to serve his sentence. had been on the run ever since Like oh police had no idea what TED Young would target a single father with no particular wealth. There was nothing to extort. What did he have the game? I didn't make any sense They began contacting everyone close to Gary hoping for some answers. they found Gary's Ex wife laser uric issue. turn that cause. They looked into later further and learnt about the the complex custody battle she had. Gary. They also learnt that just a few days after Gary went missing, LISA hide an attorney and followed for full custody of their daughter It was clear who is trying to use Gary's disappearance to her advantage next on the list with Samuel Rick, Laces, father. The detectives where aware of his falling out with Gary and also of his possible shaggy business deals

gave him a call with his trucking company two and a half We shall face the boycott it to save. You could That's a lot on any shady deals. His ex son in may have been involved in did January, picked up the phone and set up a tape recorder to type the conversation detective state January. It's quoted on the investigators tv show. A place to go to him: it is tracking company Conor in hopes of setting up an interview or tried to persuade him to come to wake up to talk to us, but he insisted on common he made it clear. He wanted me on his turf and then toward the end of the conversation. I began to say some really strange things he started talking about my kids. My boys even knew their names of had you checked out, said, and I know how much you love your kids and then he hung up

January had no doubt that same year he was trying to intimidating January hung up safer and re ran the type in his record to play back the threat. But when you press play, he realized the type hadn't recorded. He kicked the rubbish bin across the room in disgust something wasn't right. It was obvious that same year wanted to place to back off, but they didn't know boy. Detective January, sought the advice of local Texas, Ranger sergeant, Matt Coffin, excess ranges are a law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction. They fulfill the role the State Bureau of Investigation and can assist the local law enforcement agencies.

Actually when their jurisdiction over issues or the investigation is complicated, they have certain pull them pallor that local law enforcement don't have together range. Of course, an indicative January decided that the best thing to do would be to make us across visit to same year, Gettys Trucking company in Conrad, but they drive three hours to find the way ass, empty senior. Had cleared out and disappeared. The trucking company showed little evidence that it was a legitimate business at all the business name. Southern sales, it on under six different names and company bosses. There were no tax listings the only activity on the phone records with thousands of long distance phone calls to El Paso Mexico and on since in Central America, as well as numerous other locations. The investigation with the help of the Texas Rangers, now focus

I'm seeing uric? They had absolutely no idea how we could possibly be linked to TED Young or even the disappearance of Gary Patterson, but it seems like the right direction to go. Gary's father told investigated. The room is in stories. He had heard about seem yuruk how he would sometimes brag about the old days when he was say I heaping.

She had Why do you her father was, and she had Why do you wear Gary was either didn't look word at all about carry, but the detectives didn't know if that was because they went on speaking terms or she knew something night in detecting January. Do you have any suggestions of thoughts on why he might have disappeared by I really don't

I can imagine what has happened to it. What do you think happened to him? What I said before I don't know. I mean it's just totally out of character. Do you think your father could be involved know? Why not because my dad is not like that. That's why. Gary's father pasta that they tiles with the prophet investigated, I had hired to track my sedan typing that they might have some information for the pool lights and it was wrought he did. The San Diego private investigator told detective January that, while trailing later, he had a hunch that I've. The same was involved and it turned out, the same had actually been funding later to stay hidden for the two EU. She was on the run. It was clear to the pay all that Europe hated is for my son in law, because the custody battle- and it was not a man to forgive or forget, very easily

The pay I confirmed that Europe was involved in money laundering schemes and different business scams. Any sniffing around these business by the cops was a sure why to get him to run, because he wouldn't want to jeopardize his money over an investigation into the disappearance of his Ex son in law. The I also disclosed that head managed to get his hands on a leather band a day planner owned by uric. It was sitting on the floor, state of Europe's lincoln- and I just hope the fall into his hands and get photocopied the pay. I gave detective January a copy. When January received the pages he saw it was a large list of contacts. They went in Africa. Lord, like a fine book, there was just a list of And if he hasn't names and finance as written randomly January, go to work going through the list and after getting through a round five hundred names, he finally found the one he was looking for. Ted young.

Both seem you can tell Yuh, had vanished and detectives from, wake up. Police department didn't have the capabilities to track them there. There were faced with major jurisdiction issues. Gary Patterson was from wake up in Mcclelland counting, but he disappeared. You know Paso, which, as you know, Passer Canning, TED Young was a federal fugitive. Who could be any and seeing Europe got around further back. checks on him revealed? He had been charged in daughters or search pawn in twenty two different states. Texas, ranger coffin, went to the White Guy Police Department and went over the entire case with detective January. They spent a whole afternoon outlining everything I knew before a court and suggested that the only way to help with the jurisdiction issues was to get everyone in the same room. He a meeting of local state and federal agencies, believing.

What we have to put together some sort of strategy. The meeting was attended by the Mclennan County district attorney assistant. The attorney for the western District of Texas Representatives from the FBI. And members of the Eu S Marshals Office Whenever all the details of the case and decided that and we can they had a finding out. What happened to carry Patterson was the locate, the last no person to have seen him alive, tat young. What the White House detail he's didn't know was that the Eu S marshals had been following tat: Young already, the? U S, Marshall Debbie. who was present at the meeting, the excuse that sells to make a phone call when she returned she sat down and said: we've got him, we know all about him and where he is. She reeled off an enormous catalogue of details of the surveillance of TED Young finishing with he just crossed over the border from El Paso to Juarez, pulling a trailer.

The. U S, marshals made it clear that TED Young was a federal fugitive and they had soldiers jurisdiction him, but they said that would keep local law enforcement in the loop. The way I did take these had trouble reconciling that Eu S marshals knew at TED Young was that had my dearest, yet they kept quiet, but there were trouble. and, as the weeks went on and still no arrest was made, they became restless and decided to continue on with their own investigation Getting everyone in the same room hadn't helped their jurisdiction issues they weren't getting any cooperation from El Paso boys. they had no idea what the? U S, marshals plans for TED Young were, and I were no closer to in the same uric. Will Gary Patterson. help of Wiko based assistant US attorney Bill Johnston. They realized

that could somehow have Gary's disappearance viewed as a federal crime and a federal case that would gain power to subpoena witnesses as well as the cooperation of the El Paso authorities and the FBI. But the problem that I had was the Gary Patterson didn't cross. Iva state lawns help ass. I was doing tech Texas, Ranger coffin, recording the an interview with cotton stay hours from Dallas Observer for he's, article and book death in a Texas desert, quite fun. After doing some research assistant, attorney Bill Johnston came out with statute, referring to into sites lots of work to our advantage, what Gary had taken to El Paso had been scheduled to travel on to San Francisco that same day, they had found a loophole to get their federal link and soon after the FBI officially joined the missing person investigate and that when they are ready to utilise all the resources they had available to them since the marshal

insisted on bringing TED Youngin assistant The twenty Johnston call them and requested, I hope, like ice in Iraq as well. Was given a stern warning by the marshals. He don't know who you would dealing with. The Texan grandfather seem Europe's history went far beyond what local bore enforcement knew. There was a hot It classified FBI investigation, called operation circus, which ninety It is a known associated to road safety agency in the nineteen. Eighty eight Frank turtle and Edmund Wilson, Agents have been accused of selling stolen autumns to terrorist countries I believed senior cope, taught the regulations when thou around the run and that it, It also involved in the purchase and delivery of arms and twenty tonnes of plastic explosives. These explosives were salt of libyan terrorists, who would ultimately claim credit for the nineteen. Ninety six bombing of a Berlin nightclub frequented by american soldiers.

The bombing killed two US servicemen and wounded the two hundred others in retaliation to the bombing haven't Reagan, ordered air strikes on Libya at the time of the investigation into Gary Patterson disappearance, at least three. U S. Intelligence agencies had his ex bothering or seem Eric listed as someone who assisted in facilitating the shipment of explosives to Libya, So now local law enforcement new same year. It wasn't just a more time money longer with shady businesses. He was a sin criminal and there was every that he was involved in his ex animals disappearance with the threatening

music had made still fresh in his mind. Detective January stepped up his own personal protection. He checked his home and vehicle for explosives and he kept several guns close by in case he needed one at a moment's notice. When detective, Christina Woodruff found out about the dark past of SAM Uric, she feared for her life. They believed who is a person capable of anything. Then. Stage stage of the investigation involved, Texas, Ranger, Coolsan and Waco detectives January and Woodruff, going over every name and shame. Heurich stay Plano. They constantly flew between Waco and and Paso Paso, creating a roadmap between different people on the list everyone in the day plainer seemed to be involved with the undecided. The war in some way, fugitives, common and war break, is dotted across the desert plains of Texas.

people got wind, that police was knitting around and fled before they could be questioned. Other Socio SAM's, sometimes two or three times removed, gave t bits of information. One person told the text is the same year. It was actually with TED young in El Paso. The diary pedestal I flew there on a dusty rocky road on the outskirts of El Paso detectives approached ass of a made known to both seem you can tell young Ali Martinez all he told them that TED was living in Honduras in Central America and he offered to take them there. Personally, TED Young might have been in Honduras, That would explain the long distance calls from seeing your Ex trucking company to the country, but no so might have been a ruse by Ali Martinez to get back over the border himself. When way no investigators called through the info to the: U S: Marshalsea, no passer. They were warned that much

It was a hustler and called me, and he was luckily just plain. as the one you mark of Gary Patterson's disappearance came round. The lights finally started hating up. I interviewed dozens of your ex associates and worked through every name in his day. Plano, which led them to a man named Clark. Polson Clock confirmed that he knew both shame, uric and tejon and office and prodding. He admitted that TED had contacted him a while ago and asked to borrow his pickup truck on my third nineteen. Ninety seven, the diet, Gary Patterson, disappeared, clock pulse and delivered his pickup truck to TED Young at the red route. In El Paso Wholesome picked. His truck up the following day in the same way tells parking lot, but he wasn't sure what tat it used it for.

detectives then made a plan to guide to an address that I'd come up in their extensive investigation of same year at candy's associates it was a ray. in the Chihuahuan Desert ACE of El Paso own a long time associate of Europe's the range was six hundred isolated acres of desert. belief that you recover visited the ranch, sometimes staying there for waste at the time he would Use the range to make tat young and others on unknown business according to Texas, Ranger Carson, We need to view for the Dallas observer for the book death in a Texas desert. Quite when we arrived at their this old dodge charger comes rising Ghana, hill spewing dust twenty feet into the air, The driver was head of security for the ranch Ex military and it turns out a real police. Buff when we gave him a general idea of what we were up to, he said it was glad someone was looking at the place because

it was pretty sure. Whatever was going on, there wasn't legal. To my surprise, he agreed to meet with us when he got off work. The security Guard told Courson and detective January that he had walked every inch of the six hundred Ike a ranch. They asked him if he added found any bones here there, and he said yes, many there were unease workbench. He collected the bones and blame them. He showed coffin in January. His collection, many will talk animal bones, but then he pulled one from the box. The made the office is stare at each other. The look human coffin explained that I would like to have a forensic anthropologist examined. They more guest

here too got replied Doktor Susan Mackey, while a certainly needed one quick, look at the barn, as it was pulled from coffins brave case. It's a human arm. She said after a few quick measurements. found it could very well be the bone of a mile in his early thirties. While they waited for a search warrant for the ranch, it seemed the perfect time to get. laser Europe backing for questioning and, as luck would have it place, it had failed to pay all the court costs and face in the aftermath of her son. So she found herself arrested for parole, violation. Active January and Woodruff the Deronda hast or rest her. She didn't argue as laces sat in the back of the police, car Woodruff turned to her and said he

Believe what has been uncovered in the desert outside El Paso? I looked at her with no, I did. A human on bone place sank down in say and according to the detectives she doubled over, as if she had stomach creams at the county jail house places. I solemnly when question detective January, explained to her in very simple terms that the window of opportunity was closing fast at that place, repeat the faded and quiet and within twenty four hours she started talking. her father same year, he had made a plan to lower Gary to El Paso, but according to LISA who was angry debate him up, not to kill him. He used an associate that he knew TAT Young to entice Gary away from Waco in order to carry out the plan.

Laser admitted that she knew Gary would go as soon as I offered him. Then you worker, the Schaeffer lies above and beyond they had asked her to help TED young or dinner for Gary. Just before her sentencing, which had occurred the day before the mysterious NED Rod walk into Gary's office, waistcoat Gary's parents to ask them for a photo of Gary to put in a locket for their daughter, Gary's Parents obliged, although they were confused, washers Bain caring enough to do so. The phone I wasn't for their daughters, locking the photo was to give the TED young Said that when he was taken around browsers to meet this thought, it would be able to recognise Gary immediately The white GO investigators approached you S attorney Bill Johnston with what they had a rest warrants were proved for shame, Yuruk and TED Young and a search warrant for them. And yes, I know passer by the ongoing was fanned was also approved that day and

We have volunteered from the military base the prison and the fire department joined to the team of police and police dogs as they searched the six hundred I guess it does it on the range to look the Gary's body, the huge team for the hot sun and tough grand over three days, every disturb piece of ground and every unusual gathering of rocks would prick the census of those searching. One of the officers came upon a neat Paul of rocks and beneath them just under the surface was a skull. a little more digging. I found more bones, even though the reality of what they had found hung heavy that were relieved to have like hated Gary's body, bringing some closure to the case, the search team rejoiced. It was a massive breakthrough

The body was sent to the El Paso coroner's office and detective Christina Woodruff waited for the medical and dental records to arrive when the records came through. She walked through the front doors of the coroner's office and sat waiting with a coffee. The coroner looked at the dental records for just a few seconds then turned to detective Woodruff. It's not him. Woodruff felt herself slipped to the floor. How could it not be Gary Pederson. Further investigation revealed the body belong to someone else, a homeless man from El Paso, a homicide victim, but not related to the Gary Patterson case, at all, with the search coming up with nothing on Gary, the investigation focused back on located
