“Just wanted to say I’m okay and to stop bothering me” - On March 26th, 2010, 21 year old Julie Ann Gonzalez vanishes, posting some bizarre messages on social media in the days following her disappearance and leaving her two year old daughter Layla behind. Her mother Sandra and Aunt Dora are sure that her ex-husband George DeLaCruz is responsible and that little Layla is living with a killer, but police aren’t convinced. Two months later George agrees to a polygraph on the Dr. Phil show, hoping to clear his name. The next day police receive a frantic 911 call from George’s mother, she’s uncovered something horrifying, and that Sandra and Dora may have been right all along, and they won’t give up until Julie gets justice.  - Credits: Director, editor & writer: Alexandre Gendron Researcher: Tiffany Loxton Voiceover: William Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution manager: Kat Gardilcic Sources: Getty Images “Off the Grid” Witness To Murder: Digital Evidence: A&E Television Networks, LLC, 2023.

“This guy is a big teddy bear” - On the night of September 19th, security cameras in downtown Charlotte, Virginia capture footage of 18-year-old Hannah Graham walking home alone, being followed by a strange man. Police identify the man as Jesse Matthew, a friendly hospital aide and volunteer football coach, who quickly comes into the station to clear his name. But it isn't obvious that he had anything to do Hannah's disappearance and so, Jesse walks free. But one mother, Gil Harrigan, is convinced this case is linked to her daughter Morgan's case, who was murdered just 5 years before. She's sure that that the man who killed her daughter is still on the loose, hunting young women all over Virginia, and she won't rest until justice is served, and the killer is unmasked. - Written, edited & directed by Maxime Desrochers Researched by Tiffany Loxton Voiceover by William Akana Produced by Salim Sader Distribution managed by Kat Gardilcic - Sources Getty Images "The Back to School Killer: A Fear in the Air" Very Scary People: Warner Bros.

“I live here” - On August 25, 1983, 3-year-old Lori Poland is found alive at the bottom of a 10-foot-deep waste pit beneath a deserted outhouse in the Colorado foothills. When rescuers ask how she got there, she quietly replies, "I live here." Just three days earlier, Lori disappeared from her front yard without a trace. As investigators piece together the case of "The Girl in the Hole," they link her disappearance to reports of a man driving an orange sedan who had been approaching children in the neighborhood and offering them candy. But there's one problem: Lori can't remember anything. With a strong lead but little evidence, Lori is the only person who can bring her captor to justice. Unless her memories return, there may be nothing stopping him from taking another child. - For more from Lori, please see her novel: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/i-live-here-learning-to-heal-through-embracing-your-own-story-lori-ellen-poland/1141665166 - Director, editor & writer: Alexandre Gendron Researchers: Steffi Mac & Bianca Yzabelle Tan Voiceover: William Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution manager: Kat Gardilcic - Sources: Getty Images “Colorado kidnapping survivor tells story, aims to end child abuse” Denver7, 2019. “9NEWS archives: Lori Poland rescued” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Colorado kidnapping survivor Lori Poland graduates high school” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Lori Poland kidnapped 40 years ago” 9NEWS, 2023. “A True Crime Victim’s Story - Lori Poland Colorado Kidnapping Survivor & Advocate” The Family Ties True Crime Podcast, 2021. “Woman Who Was Kidnapped, Abused As Child Launches Task Force | Megyn Kelly TODAY” TODAY, 2018. “The Remarkable Story of Survival: Lori Poland” Dr. Mehmet Oz, 2021 “Colorado kidnapping survivor on a mission to end child abuse” 9NEWS, 2022. “We are All Survivors” EndCAN, 2021. “I Live Here” Lori Ellen Poland, 2022. “Lori Poland reflects on her kidnapping, rescue from an outhouse pit” 9NEWS, 2023. “Chief Hosa Lodge” Mitzi South, 2014. “Dangerous Stranger (1972)” A/V Geeks 16mm Films, 2013. “DJI Sheridan Colorado” Ryno Jet, 2018. “9NEWS archives: Robert Thiret sentenced in Colorado kidnapping case” 9NEWS, 2023. “Action News 2-23-81 WPVI” retrodan5, 2016. “40 years after her kidnapping, Lori Poland works to end child abuse and neglect” 9NEWS, 2023. “9NEWS archives: Robert Thiret in court for kidnapping charge” 9NEWS, 2023. “80's "Stranger Danger" PSA” American Medical Association, 1984. “Channel 9 News - 5/4/86 - Syracuse, NY” Syracuse Nostalgia, 2011. “Virtual Walk Talk Listen with Lori Poland” Walk Talk Listen, 2022.
