Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey there, folks. The case we're going to talk about
in this video fits a specific kind of category, which
is missing people who are later found and discovered to
have fallen from somewhere, but there is seemingly nowhere to
fall from. It's a subset of missing person cases that
you might have heard of before. Frankly, I've never encountered

(00:40):
a case that was legitimate, but still it's something that
you hear about every now and then. It's one of
those things that gets around without any specific case attached
to it as evidence. You know. I sometimes get people asking, well,
how do you explain the missing people who appear to
have fallen from the sky? And, like I said, I
don't know that this supposed phenomenon really exists. How is

(01:02):
it that some people could believe there is a subset
of missing persons cases like this? Well that's a question
for another time. So I get emails about this supposed phenomenon,
and also a lot about this other one in which
people apparently go missing and then their clothes are found
neatly folded somewhere. I've never encountered a legitimate, unexplainable version

(01:23):
of that scenario either, And what I mean by that is,
when this scenario has occurred, when somebody has disappeared and
their clothes are found neatly folded, it's been next to
a body of water. The easy answer would then be
that they undressed, went swimming and drowned. And there's really
only one case that comes to mind where this specific
wording was even used. So to be more specific, I've

(01:47):
never come across a legitimate version of that scenario that
wasn't near a body of water, and for it to
be considered something strange or unusual, it really kind of
needs to be in a spot that's not near water.
You know of any feel free to shoot me an email.
I'm always interested. Anyway, I'm getting off track already. We're
here to talk about missing people who seem to fall

(02:09):
out of the sky. Well, today we're going to talk
about a case that has been put in that category,
not by me, but by others. Anyway, I actually found
the case to be quite fascinating. It's the story of
a doctor in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I kind of understand
where it gets its reputation for being mysterious. Most of

(02:29):
the articles you might see online about this case say
that this doctor was found in an odd location and
that he died from a fall, And that's pretty much it.
When you hear that someone died from a fall, you
might presume that the individual fell from some significant height.
But this case has left people wondering where could this
man have fallen from. You might ask how that could

(02:51):
make any sense. It's a fair question and one will
try to answer in this video. So let's closely examine
the death of doctor Christopher Robert. Doctor Christopher Robert was

(03:15):
a fifty year old man who lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He lived with his wife of almost twenty years, Carrie Ace,
who was also a doctor working at the Children's Hospital
of Minnesota. They had two kids, an eighteen year old
son and an eleven year old daughter. Chris had worked
for the Hennepin County Medical Center for the last eleven
years as an anesthesiologist. For the last five years, he

(03:38):
was the chief of Anesthesiology. He and his wife had
a home in Feribult, Minnesota, and also a home in Minneapolis.
Due to their busy schedules and long work hours, the
condo in Minneapolis made their lives easier by reducing turnaround time.
While working in the city, Chris was well liked by
his peers and considered a wonderful man and an amazing

(04:00):
At approximately six pm on December fourth, twenty fifteen, Chris
was hanging out at his condo in Minneapolis when his
friend Constantine arrived. Constantine was also a doctor and anesthesiologist
at the Hennepin County Medical Center. The two men made
alcoholic drinks a dirty Martini for each of them, and
then sat around for a while socializing. They had tentative

(04:24):
plans to go out to eat at an upscale steakhouse
called Ruth's Chris and Minneapolis. Unfortunately, their plans were foiled
when they attempted to get a reservation and discovered the
restaurant was booked out. They had tried a few other eateries,
but they were unable to get a reservation. Since their
plans were falling through, they decided to attend a work
related event, the Anesthesia Annual Christmas Party, held at the

(04:48):
Libertine on three zero zero one Hennepin Avenue South. The
two men drove to the Libertine using Constantine's vehicle. While
at the party, Constantine said that Chris was communica with
everyone and was the life of the party. He said
that he saw Chris have three to four alcoholic drinks
during the time he was there. Around seven thirty to

(05:09):
eight PM, one of Chris's friends, a coworker and nursinestatist
named Page, showed up to the party. She would later
say that during the time she was there, she saw
Chris drink a handful of dirty martinis. Page stayed with
Chris most of the night, hanging out and talking with him.
At around ten pm that night, Constantine was ready to

(05:30):
leave as he had to work at the hospital the
following day. He approached Chris, gave him a hug, and
asked if he wanted a ride back to his home.
Chris decided that he wanted to stay at the party
before leaving. Constantine approached Page and the two agreed that
she would get Chris home either by uber or taxi.
At approximately eleven forty five pm, Page and Chris went

(05:53):
outside to smoke a cigarette, and then they went back
inside the restaurant. Page said that while Chris was standing
next to the host table, his head was bobbing back
and forth, and his body was swaying and staggering, and
his speech was slurred. A waitress came over and asked
him if he wanted some water. Page said that Chris
appeared to be pretty intoxicated at the end of the night,

(06:15):
but that he acted fine and could walk around. Midnight,
Page said that Chris and her were inside talking. He
was on her right side when she turned for a
very brief moment and began talking to a couple of
other people. When she turned back around, Chris was gone.
She immediately attempted to call Chris's cell phone, but he
did not answer. Page then went outside to look for Chris.

(06:38):
She walked around the area a bit but couldn't find him. Afterwards,
Page returned to the party and went on with her night,
completely unaware of whatever fate befell Chris. In the early
morning hours of December fifth, two men driving along Interstate
ninety four in Minneapolis thought they noticed the body of
a man lying on the side of the road. At

(07:00):
the time, they simply drove past. It was still before sunrise,
so it was pretty dark out and they weren't sure
what they saw. Still, they felt they had seen a body,
and they wanted to be sure, so they turned around
to the nearest exit and readied themselves to make another
pass in the area. This time, their worst fears were
confirmed as they stopped on the side of the road

(07:21):
and saw that there was indeed a man lying there,
apparently deceased. They immediately called nine to one one to
report the discovery and waited for first responders to arrive.
During this time, they made no attempt to touch the
body or confirm whether the individual was dead or alive.
State patrol first arrived on scene around seven thirty am

(07:43):
after being dispatched to an unresponsive mail on the westbound
side of Interstate ninety four at Groveland Avenue. An ambulance
was already there, and it was quickly determined that the
mail was deceased. The body was lying face down on
the pavement of the Emergency's shoulder cut out just east
of the Groveland Avenue bridge. There appeared to be a

(08:04):
potential injury to the back of the head. The male
also had bloody hands, a dark colored coat, dark jeans
that were ripped near the lower left leg area, a
dark colored belt, and one black dress shoe on the
left foot, but the right foot was missing a shoe altogether.
It was noted that the belt on the pants was undone,

(08:24):
the button on the pants was unbuttoned and the zipper
was down. An iPhone was found in the man's right
front coat pocket and was locked by password. To authorities
on scene, it did not appear as though the man
had been struck by a vehicle, despite him having been
found on the road side. The body was then covered
with a sheet and part of I ninety four was

(08:46):
shut down for the duration of the immediate investigation. Troopers
decided they needed to find exactly where the man had
been injured and where he had come from, so they
decided to try and find the missing black dress shoe.
They went up the highway embankment and began looking around
the local streets just above IE ninety four on Clifton Avenue,

(09:06):
just east of the Groveland Avenue bridge. They located the
shoe on the northern side of a chain link fence
that separated the highway from Clifton Avenue. That would be
the Clifton Avenue side of the fence, not the I
ninety four side. The top crossbar on the chain link
fence appeared to have a bloody handprint on it. It
fully appeared that the man either jumped or attempted to

(09:29):
jump the fence but was already bleeding at the time
that he did this. Officers on scene thought it appeared
as though the person grabbed the fence from the eye
ninety four side. Blood was also noticed in the grass
near where the shoe was discovered. On the embankment south
of the fence, they discovered some more blood in the
grass and also an area that appeared to have vomit.

(09:50):
At around nine to ten am, the Minneapolis Police Crime
Lab and homicide detectives arrived to take over the investigation,
as none of this looked like a simple app accident.
By this time, the body was still unidentified, as no
identification was found on or near the deceased at the time.
The crime lab collected numerous items from the area of

(10:11):
Clifton and Groveland Avenue that were found near the roadside.
Most of these items appeared to be litter that had
been there for some time, but it would be hard
to be certain. The report notes that these items were
thought to be somewhat out of the ordinary within the
scene established by first responders with the evidence tape. The
items included an Arizona I S tea can, broken pieces

(10:33):
of a prescription bottle, a cardboard coffee cup and a
plastic planter tray. Any areas of blood were swabbed for testing.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office came to take custody
of the body, which was later identified during autopsy as
doctor Christopher Robert. This was done after the discovery of

(10:53):
a Minnesota driver's license for Christopher Robert located in the
front left pants pocket. Canvass the general neighborhood looking for witnesses,
They went to the Nancy Page Building, which is a
crisis center directly across the street from the chain link fence. Inside,
they asked the staff if they were missing any residence

(11:13):
or if they were aware of anything happening out on
the street. The staff said no to both questions. Eventually,
a female resident came forward with some information about the
night prior. This potential witness told officers that she had
heard someone screaming for help in the early morning hours.
She said that she heard someone saying help me over

(11:33):
and over again at approximately three to four a m.
She said that it sounded like a man's voice. She
did not get up and out of bed to look
out her window to see who was yelling. Later, she
got up to use the restroom at around four thirty am,
and by this time the screaming had stopped. Officers were
unable to find any other witnesses. After checking many of

(11:54):
the other buildings in the neighborhood, two sergeants with the
department went out looking for Chris's current ACA, but they
had a difficult time finding it. After a few failed attempts,
they finally tracked down Chris's wife, Carrie A. S at
their apartment. The two officers arrived at the condo and
knocked on the door. They were met by a female
who identified herself as Carrie. As Carrie immediately began to

(12:18):
cry and asked if her husband was okay or if
something had happened to him. They all sat down and
the officers explained as much as they knew thus far.
Carrie wanted to know how Chris died exactly, but the
cause of death was still under investigation. While there, officers
also checked to make sure that all of Chris's firearms
were accounted for in the home, and they were. Carrie

(12:41):
said that the day before when she had seen Chris,
he had an alcoholic drink. She explained that Chris did
not use or Carrie his firearm if he had been
drinking alcohol. Carrie said that she had last spoken to
her husband in the early evening of December fourth. She
told them that Chris was at their condo in Minneapolis
with a friend named Constantine that day. Carrie explained that

(13:03):
Constantine was also a doctor at the Hennepin County Medical Center.
She said that both were drinking a dirty martini and
planned to go to Ruth's Chris's steakhouse in Minneapolis later
that night. As far as she knew, Chris did not
have any additional plans for that evening. Officers would interview
Constantine the next day, looking to hear his version of events.

(13:23):
On the evening of December fourth, Constantine said that he
had known Chris for fifteen years and the two were friends.
The details he told police provided the background for much
of the information contained in the beginning of this video.
Dealing with Chris's movements on the night of the fourth,
Constantine said that he was ready to leave the party
around ten PM, but Chris was not, so he spoke

(13:46):
to Page about making sure that Chris got home safely,
either by Uber or a taxi, because he noticed that
Chris was intoxicated. Constantine left that night, thinking everything would
be okay. He said that he later communicated with Page
the next morning, and she told him that she was
supposed to leave the party with Chris, but something happened.

(14:08):
Around midnight. She and Chris went outside for a smoke.
Page then went back inside briefly, but when she came
back out, Chris was no longer there. Page didn't know
where he went or what had happened. Constantin was briefly
asked about whether Chris was carrying a firearm or if
he was aware of any threats to Chris recently. Constantine

(14:28):
answered no to both questions. He said that Chris liked
to walk and could recall multiple instances where Chris would
walk instead of drive. Still, Constantin thought it could be
unusual for Chris to attempt to walk home to his
condo in this situation because of the distance approximately three miles.
Constantin suspected that since Chris had been drinking, he might

(14:51):
have made the attempt. Detectives interviewed Page on December eighth.
She said that she had known Chris since two thousand
and eight, when she began wor working at the Hennepin
County medical Center. She said that although she considered Chris
a great friend, they never discussed private or personal matters.
She told detectives her recollection of seeing Chris at the

(15:12):
party up until the point he apparently left without telling anyone.
She said that Chris had his credit cards with him
while he was at the party. Page didn't know anything
about what could have happened to Chris after he left,
but she did recall him appearing to be quite intoxicated
at the end of the night. At least one detective
returned to the Groveland Avenue Bridge periodically in the weeks

(15:33):
that followed. The hope was that they might spot a
homeless individual living underneath it who may have witnessed what
happened to Chris on the night of the fourth. Unfortunately,
they never encountered anyone at the location. On December seventeenth,
detectives spoke to a woman named Rhoda Lynn, who was
an old acquaintance of Chris and his family. She voluntarily

(15:55):
showed up at the police department, claiming to have important
information relating to the death of docor to Christopher Robert
Rdalinn stated that she had met Chris back in two
thousand and four, and that she had last seen him
on Thanksgiving of two thousand and seven. Between those times,
she said she used to work as a nanny or
babysitter for Chris and Carrie's children. Rodalinn provided a rather

(16:17):
bizarre interview to police on this day. She began by
explaining some unrelated issue she had regarding a harassment order
she had filed against a person named Charlotte in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The detective had a difficult time keeping Rodalin focused and
correlating whatever she was talking about to the death of
Chris Robert. Rodlynn stated that she had never dated Chris

(16:40):
and her relationship with him was strictly business. She went
on to say that back in twenty thirteen, she had
lost her phone. Chris's information was on that phone from
when she worked as a nanny. Rodalinn then explained that
her theory was that someone may have found her lost
phone and located the information for Chris. Thought that this

(17:00):
person may then have come under the mistaken belief that
she and Chris were in a romantic relationship and subsequently
decided to murder him. There was no evidence to back
any such theory, and Rodelin could not substantiate why she
believed this was a possibility. Suffice to say, detectives likely
disregarded much of what Rodelin had to say about this situation.

(17:23):
Her interview transcript is all over the place. Detectives noted
that Rodelin had no contact with Chris since two thousand
and seven. The contacts that she had for him in
her phone were for old addresses. There was no motive
for anyone related to Rodelin to harm Chris, as she
did not have any romantic relationship with him, and nobody
else in Rodalin's contact list had been harmed in any

(17:46):
such way. On this same day, detectives received surveillance footage
from the Libertine restaurant where the Christmas party was held.
They note that the video cameras had a tendency to
skip seconds or even a minute at a time. Still,
they saw Chris on the cameras with Page. Together they
walk out of the restaurant at eleven nineteen pm. They

(18:08):
see him walk back in at eleven twenty five, then
out again, then back in at eleven fifty one pm.
Chris walks alone towards the front door and leaves. The
footage confirmed much of what witnesses had said prior to
Chris leaving the Christmas party. On January fifth of twenty sixteen,
detectives were able to speak with a witness named Samantha,

(18:30):
who had called nine one one on the night that
Chris Robert disappeared. The witness had been traveling in the
westbound lane of I ninety four during the early morning
hours of December fifth when they noticed a tall, white
male going over the median in the middle of the highway.
They were wearing a wool jacket and dark pants. She
said that the man was on one leg in the

(18:51):
process of climbing over the median and toward the eastbound
lanes of traffic. Samantha said she could not tell that
the man was injured, nor did did she see any
cars near him, as if he had recently got out
of a vehicle that had broken down. This was why
she thought it was strange that there was a man
on the interstate. She then called nine to one one
to report the incident. The time was twelve fifty six

(19:14):
a m. On January sixth, Carrie As came to the
police headquarters to meet with detectives. She explained that she
had spoken with Apple about obtaining the information inside of
Chris's iPhone. An Apple employee had told her that if
she got law enforcement on the phone with her while
in the presence of Apple personnel, they would allow her

(19:34):
to access the phone. When this actually was attempted, in practice,
Apple denied access to Chris's wife anyway. To that point,
no information had been retrieved from the iPhone due to
the fact that the password protection was there, and multiple
attempts had been made by police specialists to crack it,
none of them could. On January fourteenth, detectives received an

(19:57):
email from Carrie as asking about Chris's wedding band and
whether or not she could have it back. Detectives informed
her that the wedding band was not on Chris when
he was found, at least according to the Medical Examiner's office.
Carrie then wanted to know if there was any possible
ways they could locate the wedding band. Detectives put the
description of the ring into the automated pawn system, which

(20:19):
is used to flag potentially stolen items that are submitted
to pawn shops. They also checked the system, but could
not locate a match for the ring. They told Carry
they would continue checking the automated pawn system going forward,
Detectives were eventually able to review an interesting piece of evidence,
the camera footage from I ninety four on the night

(20:40):
that Chris Robert died. To that point, detectives had been
going all over the place trying to find cameras that
captured Chris that night, but they found none that showed
Chris during the most important moments of that night. The
cameras aimed at I ninety four finally showed something of
potential value. The video shows a man walking on the
hennepe An On ramp to eastbound I ninety four. The

(21:03):
man walks to the end of the ramp and stands
there for a little while. The man then crosses the
interstate from south to north. When he reaches the median
on the south side, he then climbs over the median.
He then climbs back over the median before climbing over
the median one more time and ending up on the
north side. The man then crosses the westbound lanes heading

(21:26):
north before heading east on this side of the roadway,
he eventually goes out of view of the camera. Detectives
note that the individual appears to have on the same
clothing as Chris Robert, but it's really impossible to tell
due to the video quality. The video time stamp does
match up with the time that witness Samantha said she
called nine to one one to report the man crossing

(21:48):
the median. That witness described the individual wearing the same
clothes as Chris Robert. It is almost certain that the
individuals seen on this video was Chris. The medical examiner
would later rule that the death of doctor Christopher Robert
was accidental due to blunt force trauma to the back
of the head. Though specific blood alcohol results were not mentioned,

(22:11):
it was reported that Chris had acute alcohol intoxication at
the time of death. They also mentioned that his belt
was undone and partially removed, the pants were unbuttoned and unzipped,
and some small superficial injuries were observed to the area
of the lower back. Lacerations were observed on the palm
sides of both hands, including an incision on the left

(22:34):
ring finger. There was an abrasion to the lower lip,
abrasions on the front of both knees, abrasions on the
front of the right toes, abrasions to the rear of
the left leg and near the left hip, and two
impact wounds on or near the back of the head.
In the end, the case would be closed pending any
further leads. So I would imagine after going over that timeline,

(22:58):
you might be left feeling that there's something a little
off about this case. I think I would tend to
agree with that assessment. Let's go over some of the
important facts that we know and summarize the timeline for
the night of December fourth, twenty fifteen. We know that
Chris was last seen by witnesses at the Christmas party,
which was being held at the Libertine. He appeared to

(23:19):
be intoxicated, and throughout the course of the night he
had something like four to five alcoholic drinks. This largely
seems to be based on the statements of two witnesses
at the party, Page and Constantine. So Chris would have
had to consume these drinks between six pm when he
met up with his doctor friend Constantine and about midnight

(23:40):
when he walked out of the Libertine. For a man
Chris's size, which is five foot ten and a heavy build,
four to five drinks across a time span of six
hours should not have left him highly intoxicated. Still, this
estimate is far from precise, and it could be that
he drank more without anyone knowing it. In fact, it
would it seems that this must be the case if

(24:01):
the medical examiner said that he had acute alcohol intoxication
at the time of his death. Acute alcohol intoxication typically
occurs when you have a large amount of alcohol in
a short amount of time, and the only way Chris
could have accomplished this is if he had all or
most of his drinks at the very end of the night,
or if he had many drinks that people didn't witness,

(24:24):
or if he left the Libertine and purchased more alcohol
as he was going home. The last two are probably
the most likely, but ultimately we'll never know. The only
thing we do know for certain is that Chris is
seen on security footage leaving the Libertine at eleven fifty
one PM. After that, we don't know the full details
of what he did or what route he took. All

(24:47):
we know is that someone who is almost assuredly Chris,
shows up on some CCTV footage walking down the Hennepin
Avenue on ramp going to I ninety four. According to
the time stamp on the footage. The time is about
twelve fifty two am when we see him come in
the frame, So it took an entire hour for Chris
to walk from the Libertine to I ninety four. That

(25:10):
distance is about a mile and a half, and Google
estimates it would take about thirty minutes to walk this
distance and time could be different depending on what route
Chris took. We also know that it would probably take
Chris longer to walk just about any distance because he
was intoxicated. But there is still enough time in there
where something else could have happened, whether that could have

(25:31):
been Chris purchasing more alcohol or something else entirely Obviously,
by the time we see Chris on camera, he is
behaving very strangely by walking down the on ramp crossing
the freeway than crossing the median multiple times before crossing
the other side of the freeway. When Page last saw Chris,
she said that he was acting fine and he could walk,

(25:53):
but that he was leaning against a table, his head
was bobbing, and his eyes were partially closed. She said
he was obvious intoxicated, but was he intoxicated enough to
attempt something like this? I asked the question because I
wonder if the head trauma had already occurred by this point.
In fact, I would bet that it probably had. It

(26:13):
would explain some of this odd and confused behavior up
until this point. He was coherent enough that he was
in fact heading in the exact direction of his condo.
I tend to think that the head trauma might have
already occurred, because the last time we see Chris on
camera is when he reaches the north side of the freeway.

(26:33):
That's the side of the freeway with the embankment and
the chain link fence. It is all speculation from here
on out, but it seems to me that Chris crossed
the freeway, climb the embankment, and then attempted to climb
over the fence. When you try to climb over a
fence like that, people typically throw their right foot over
first once they get to the top. If he was

(26:55):
intoxicated and injured, this might have been incredibly difficult. I
could see how so he might lose his right shoe
while attempting this, and it would have landed on the
north side of the fence where the police would eventually
find it. We know his bloody palm prints were found
on the crossbar of that fence, so it seems like
he was already injured by the time he tried to
climb it, so he might have made the attempt but

(27:18):
fell back down on the freeway side of the fence.
The next bit of evidence we have is from the
Nancy Page building directly across the street. One of the
residents reported hearing someone screaming for help around three to
four am. If true, then we have a time gap
of a few hours there, but the witness doesn't seem
to be too sure about the time. Anyway, it could

(27:39):
be that Chris just laid down for a while. We
know that vomit was found on the embankment side of
the fence as well. Whatever happened, it appears that Chris's
condition was probably deteriorating. Calling for help didn't work. He
perhaps could no longer walk at this point and simply
crawled back down the embankment and then along the shoulder
of the freeway for some disc Eventually he would lie

(28:01):
face down on the pavement in this location. When he's found,
they decide he died from a fall, except we don't
know where the fall occurred, and that's basically where we're at. Okay,
so the question becomes, where did doctor Christopher Robert sustain
his injuries and how did it happen? Obviously I can't
answer those questions, and neither can anyone else. If we could,

(28:24):
there wouldn't be much of a mystery here. A key
point to consider is this his injury could have been
sustained somewhere else, and he continued to walk in a
dazed state. There might be some additional clues we can
derive from the state of the body. His belt was undone,
his button was unbuttoned, and his zipper was down. There
are a few reasons I can think of that his

(28:47):
clothing might be found in this configuration. One that I
initially considered was that perhaps he stopped somewhere to relieve himself.
And one thing males sometimes do when they're taking a
leak is leaned back a bit. If you're off balance,
you could probably end up falling back and hitting the
back of your head, fully undoing your pants like that
to relieve yourself as possible but not really typical. We

(29:09):
also have to consider that there were two impact wounds
described to the back of his head. Obviously, I'm no
medical examiner and I wasn't there, so I can't comment
on this with any authority, But the fact that there's
two makes it a harder sell as a result of
a fall. A much worse scenario would be that someone
could have come up behind him with the intent of

(29:30):
robbing him and struck him in the back of the
head with an object. Really, there's a few pieces of
evidence combined that puts a thought or a theory into
my head. The problem is, I don't really want to
say what it is. This man was someone's husband, someone's father, friend, son,
and so on. I don't know what happened on that night.

(29:50):
Sometimes it feels wrong to speculate with too much detail.
Suffice to say, these are the items that together give
me some pause. The pan in the configuration that they
were found, the two strikes to the back of the head,
the incision to the left hand ring finger, combined with
the fact that the wedding ring is missing. Additionally, I

(30:11):
could not find anything in the reports that confirmed that
the credit cards Chris was carrying were found on him,
but if they were, it was never mentioned. If the
credit cards were missing, then that is an additional oddity.
Either way, the set of known facts kind of leads
me to the start of a theory that ends with
this incident being a crime. Could it be something else entirely?

(30:33):
Of course it could. In the end, I don't really
see this case as being one of those where a
missing person mysteriously falls from the sky. I mean, we
basically see this man walk to the location he died at.
The only thing in that area that you could really
fall from would be the Groveland Avenue bridge, and no
CCTV captured and walking on it. The only other option

(30:54):
would be that he climbed the poles holding the freeway
signs and fell, but that seems really unlikely. I think
his injuries probably occurred somewhere else, and when we see
him on CCTV footage, he has already injured. If not,
he would have to be injured somewhere between the freeway
and the chain link fence. Still, we are left with
a bit of a disturbing mystery. Did this doctor die

(31:17):
because of a horrible accident or was it something more nefarious.
Let me know your thoughts or theories below, and until
next time, thanks for watching.
