So the being made of ah as you can tell from the title, we're going to be talking about the a serious death of Charles Morgan. This is a twisted turny case.

I love a twisty tourney case.

It's very twisty tourney IT is unsolved and I am not going to tell you what I think and you're not going to say what you think because you'll see okay, so you guys can figure out whatever you think about. I don't have figure. I'm not sharing my thoughts and understand .

ling you the case. Oh OK.

So in march of one nine hundred and seventy seven, arizona businessman Charles Morgan, he went missing from his home in two son, arizona, only to turn up three days later. In the middle of the night, cheez traumatized and with broken plastic cam cubs over his wrist and ankles, completely unable to speak. He wrote that he had been drugged by an unnamed individual, kidnapped, but refuse to tell his wife more than that and refuse to let her call the police or other, was report the assault. okay?

Three months later.

chard's Morgan's body was discovered in the desert with a gunshot wound to the back of his head. One of his teeth wrapped up in a handkerchief's, a two dollar bill into his underwear.

I have heard of this, and that was the two dollar built of the underwear that made me think IT. Ah, yeah, I don't know all the details. No, I don't know all the details.

I know that. okay. And I think that's as far as I know. But oh yeah.

I want to just start you off by like really bringing in you in. I'm not onna tell you any more than that right at the top we're gonna get into the mother's stuff, the truth and the hiker, the truth and the handkerchiefs. The thing was from the outside, Charles horgan appeared to live a very Normal and for lack of a Better word, unexciting life.

But when investigators started digg into his background to find out who would have anted him dead, they discovered a very complicated and very bizarre story of composed government agents, mobsters, and really a mystery just straight out of a movie. wow. But no one goes a little bit backwards.

What's backwards to do that? Go, Charles. Chuck curtis Morgan, he was born march sixteen thousand thousand nine, thirty eight and ever at washington. He was the oldest of two children, board to letters and Doris Morgan. And he was raised in two sa arizona.

So pretty much of that his whole life yeah in one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight he married a woman named roof and they had four daughters. Megan iron hother in coleen france, described chuck as well, quiet and dedicated to his work, family and mechanic lodge life, described by his colleagues as an esco genius which wow you're awesome that feels in nh. And as through genius, that is a little niche.

He took a job with the country escrow w service, where he worked dozen agent, managing accounts and working on behalf of clients to mitigate risk, ffr financial advice, execute transactions quickly and smoothly. The this was the first of his two stance with the county esco service. And outside of work, he continued expLoring his interest in real estate finance and doubled in personal real estate deals.

So he's kind. He's got like a money mind. He understands money, money mind. And although he was considered to be a true for professional, by professional.

a professional .

and by most accounts, really easy to get along with, like most people like them. In february of one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven, he did get into a rather heated argument with his supervisor at western title insurance.

Title insurance, excuse me, and that resulted in his being fired for in supporting ation oh, which seemed really a brut yeah but after his departure from western tittle insurance, he ended up borrowing thirty thousand dollars from a two sound based lender in order to purchase a controlling interest in state wide ecco service with plans to build up the company OK. But in order to secure the loan, truck took out a third mortgage on his home to use as collateral, hoping that the risk would pay off once the business started growing yeah. But the arizona state banking department flagged the transaction is suspicious ous, and they put a hole on the transfer, which ultimately delayed the sale by more than three months. Oh, and this was for a reason.

But for people .

who didn't know that the states hold on the transfer of share has seemed pretty odd because for people who knew check, they were like, he's done stuff like this before like he's an next group genius ah he's not like a suspect kind of guy or anything.

Why are they putting why are they so south of this transaction? But what was equally confusing was the delay IT was followed by warnings and threats from the state baking department to deny chuck a license to Operate statewide escrowed h. So now they're not only delaying the transaction itself like the the loan, but they're saying we're not even going to let you Operate state wide esco what's going on. However, by early may, I became clear that the state interference with the transaction in the Operation of statewide was an attempt to force truck Morgans CoOperation with their investigation into the lenders that he was going through being go .

international what the but on may fourth.

one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven. He was actually super ended by the district attorney to testify against three bank o officials the following week wo and after he escalated very quickly did in IT and after his testimony they released ed, their hold on the statewide chair transfer in the sale was approved so was very clear that the whole reason they had done this was like, we're not gona let you have this until you testify he did and he got and got now the case involved what amounted to insider trading and other acts of fraud committed by at least three bank o officials with whom chuck Morgan high close relationship and following his secret testimony provided in may, truck told several individuals quote that he feared for his life like insider trading.

Pretty fucked and scared yeah that you can get really, really wild, get super Willy. I not worth, if my friends, I want to know anything about, I don't wanted know anything about anything trading inside. I don't know anything. Keep me out of trading inside. I don't even know outside.

I don't know. I don't.

don't worry about me. I don't know I don't know 是。

But however, when state officials offered physical protection for truck and his family, truck declined to the protection and rarely spoke of the matter again. huh? Now it's interesting that he would decline the offer of protection. Yeah, now we're going to go back a little bit here. Sorry, we're going to do like forward, backward, forward, backward, but we're going on backward here.

Before he testified, okay, on the morning of march twenty second and one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven, truck said goodbye to his wife roof, and left the house to drive their daughters to school, just like he did every other morning. No one knew IT at the time, but the state of banking department was breathing down his neck, pressuring him to testify in the bank of case. IT turned out that the case against benko was only one of the secrets that truck was keeping at the time, journalist don devo told producers from an unsolved mystery is in one thousand nine hundred ninety.

exactly. That's the one.

Don devo told them he was around the edges of a couple very large organized crime groups in arizona at the time. IT was very easy to get in over your head. He was doing perhaps upwards of a billion dollars of escorts, work and body bully on and plata. These were transactions that only existed on paper. He was a straight business man that probably got a little too close to the flame.

He flew too close to the sun.

Yeah, that's not good. So basically he's saying he's involved in shady's sereno type shit.

Yeah, that's like high level shady stuff. Oh, you just wait IT gets higher level like I can see why he was scared yeah immediately because he is like, I know what i've .

dipped into brim allegedly .

level he was like, i'm a little work yeah what I allegedly possibly dip myself into exactly alleged perfect. I think that was very smooth. I think that was great at all all so when truck failed .

to return home that evening, his wife ruth obviously became worried, and he continued to worry as one day turned into two, and there was still no sign of truck. But finally, on march twenty fifth, three days after he had left the house, ruth was a woken by a loud thump at the back door in the midst of the night. And SHE remembered he was lying in bed and the dog started barking.

Truck had come home, but IT wasn't that simple. Roof was obviously super relieved to that. Truck was home now. But once he took a look at him, her relief slowly started to fade away, SHE said. I got up one to the door and opened IT and there was truck.

He was missing a shoe and had one plastic hand cover around one ankle, and he SAT around his hands when he motion to his throat and didn't say a word. I asked him, can you talk? Can you write? He shook her, had yes, that he could write.

So I went, got a tablet and a pen. He wrote that his throat had been painted with a hallus agent ic drug, and that the drug could drive him a revocable ly insane or destroy his nervous system and kill him. I wanted to call a doctor in the police, but he was adamant that that would be signing a death warrant for the entire family.

His throat had been painted with .

a holus.

an a lusson genentech rug that could drive him in saying, or just like blow up his nervous system. And he's like, don't get a doctor.

No, was going to wait this one out gonna a see what happens. And was obviously like, wanted to call the doctor, wanted to call the police, scared, what does that mean? But he's sitting there saying, like, if you do that, our whole family is gonna die so she's like, okay, I guess I won't but like, what the fuck? I hate this. yeah.

How do you paint .

someone s throat? I don't really want to know first.

I was my first question.

Yeah, I was mine too. And then I said, don't ask yourself .

that I going to stop asking questions, you should for sure. But I still have that question. Yes, I think you, against their will, is the best of my goodness.

I'm upset. Yeah, I don't like this at all. But according to truck.

he'd been kidnapped and the kidnappers had tortured him before administering this mysterious drug, but he refused to elaborate on who they were. Ruth insisted that they needed to go to a hospital, at the very least, a very least, and report the assault to the police. But truck was like, nope, that will put me, you and all four of our daughters at serious risk for further harm. So ruth was like, okay, like, I guess I won't do that. He likes him back to health at home, home and recovering.

What if death is only the beginning? In one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, england, a milk bank, daughters lives are tragically cut short. When his wife later becomes pregnant, he makes the claim that is, Frankly ery.

Now, a short time later, once his voice had started to come back, which, like his voice, took a little while to come back, worth said.

and you wonder what really was what he said, what they had told him that was, you know, I mean, or if he was a scare tactic, yeah, and they did something else that you .

up for a little.

I just like me.

your voice, who know what does that?

I just, I don't know what .

this is upsetting you, so upsetting. But once his voice had started to come back, he claimed that his capture, he had escaped them in your phoenix, the sky harbor airport, but he would not go when he further than that. He just said he got away from them.

But he would make vegan illusions to to his being, some sort of a secret agent for the U. S. government.

Later, roof would tell unsolved mysteries, he wrote, they took my treasury identification. That was the first i'd heard of IT. Then he told me he'd been working for them for about two or three years, and that was IT. But the only other bit information that truck in party to his wife was that, quote, a two dollar bill he always kept with him was temporarily taken in the kidnapping.

And remember, he said, when truck has eventually found dead, a two dollar bill is attached to his underwear and he said to her the first time that he was connected and a allegedly escaped his kidnappers and came home that they temporary took IT. And why did he say the word temporarily? Like they're .

going to give them back to me, right?

You're going to make me up with these people again somehow, or like, or you're going to try and go get that back.

Sounds to me like they made that seem like they were going to see him again and give him that. That's what that sounds like. Like maybe he was. And this is me totally speculating because obviously I have no fucking clue what's going on that perhaps they told him like he had to do something and he does that. He gets that back.

his two dollar else.

Those are being how this color for something else. And maybe he didn't. He was unable to do the thing I think that's pretty, was told to do pretty good. H speculation, I hate this is very upsetting, is crazy. I know I keep saying that.

but I was me. No, it's crazy. I just keep saying this for this family.

Like, wow, I feel so good for this family because they never got answers. Yeah, ever. S that A A for. But what chuck didn't tell his wife, but leader told his friend and employee jeff tuberville, was that his kidnappers had stolen several platt, also me, seven platinum bars from the trunk of his car, worth approximately fifty thousand dollars. You have those in his car, you know, the kind that everybody has laying around in their trunk like this was the first of multiple strange and unusual statements that chuck made to family and friends after this alleged kidnapping.

And the weeks that followed chuck, who always had was completely clean shaven and capital hair tidy and short, started growing his hair out and letting his beard grow and he also started telling his wife and his close friends that he quote had damaging, potentially embarrassing information on prominent sons and the uh area uh politicians involving esco when land deals and launder ing money. He had all that kind of information. Oh no, people.

Most of the time, those league illusions made no sense. Anybody around him, like the time he told jeff too, revealed that an unnamed employer of his was, quote, somehow messed up in the mafia and had threatened his family, but there wasn't any direct evidence of anybody having threatened him. But still chuck became hyper vigilant and and paranoid about his safety.

He started Carrying around the gun on him at all times and always had at least one gun in the car. He also started wearing a bullet proof vest everywhere he went and refused to let his daughters leave the house unescorted, and never allowed strangers in the house or near the children. I mean.

which I can say, I blame me. I don't blame them after that.

but despite the lack of evidence and the fact that one doesn't immediately think of two sona zona in regards to organized crime, chucks vega statements about the mafia in the land fraud are at least somewhat rooted in history, actually, in the early one thousand nine hundred and sixty, new york city crime boss job, ano moved to the phoenix area, and he remained somewhat active and organized crime while he was out there.

In one thousand nine hundred and sixty two, son, police discovered the body of arizona real estate promoter Louis sarod a and the trunk of his car strangle to death with the rope still around his naturally ship. And his murder was the first of very few gangland style murder in the two side area. But I was suggested that, while not told come into the region, there were some organized crime related murders in this area.

So IT wasn't completely out of the frame of the area. Possibility exactly. And in fact, in his nineteen nine nine nine biography, joana, the bill claimed, quote, he ran a crew of twenty five to thirty men in arizona that was into gambling and shylocks, but never had had been a tiny crimes of violence then. So that's from.

I didn't know itself. I didn't know that that was all happening there. I don't know that who who knew, who do.

Now the banana primary wasn't the only criminal Operation running in two thousand and org next at the time, there was also a number of gangs and small scale rings running drugs across the border and using a arizona real estate to launder the money.

Throughout the one thousand nine hundred and seventies, arizona actually have laws and regulations that allowed them to be purchased through a blind trust, which meant that the actual owner couldn't be traced, making this kind of the perfect arrangement for money launder ing yeah. And these deals would almost certainly require an esco agent in the buying process, making that esco agent a participant willing or unwilling, depending on the certain state. Yeah and they would be involved in fraud and money launder and down, which is actually kind of ironic because the entire idea behind having an ice in the first places to avoid fraud, exactly something goes wrong with the deal.

So it's funny that it's like this actually showing .

fraud yeah but you could actually find yourself rapped up and yeah like even completely unwillingly yeah but and at that point there's nothing know. What can you do? You're involved exactly. Now IT should be noted that there were rumors about uh, truck having done s go work for the banana family and that warn another known criminal, but investigators didn't make any mention of IT in their reports and there's no direct information in the contemporary contemporary reporting of this. Sok, that's all alleged, okay, but people do say that there are rumors s okay.

Now, if truck was paranoid, ed, after his disappearance in march, he became decidedly more so after testifying in the bank of international case in may, because, remember, the state was breathing down his neck and he agreed to testify. But before the time he testified that kidnapping took place, that alleged could not be then he testifies in may. And afterwards he's like, super freak out.

He continued wearing a bullet proof vest. Nearly every where he went continued to Carry guns on his person and keeping them in the car. And he also had his car equipped with A, C, B radio and a police scanner that allowed him to monitor all kinds of criminal activity in long .

enforcement in the area.

His car had also been fitted with a special lock that unlocked to the doors from a release under the front tender of the car.

huh? Yeah.

now on the afternoon of june seventh, one thousand nine hundred seventy seven truck went to a work meeting around lunchtime and called his office a little before one P. M. To let him know, let the office know that he was on his way back and he'd be there and about a half hour, but he never returned to the office that day or any other, that after what happened, the first time truck disappeared.

Roof this time didn't waste any time reporting this disappearance for the police. But the problem is that there is no laws preventing an adult from completely abandoning their responsibility, ie. S without telling anyone, and there was no evidence of a crime. So there really wasn't anything they could do to go find child.

Oh, that must have felt so helpless.

especially with what he woke up to night, a couple .

of what happened there. He doesn't know what happened there, but he saw the aftermath.

Yeah and she's like, I know that you would say like if if I reported this, people were going to come after us.

they you anyone that are they .

now going to come after you're do in .

that scenario?

I have no idea. But truck had been missing for nine days when ruthy received a mysterious call at home from an an anonymous caller. Ruth were called that this, he said, this woman said, ruthy.

I said, yes. SHE said, chuck is all right, a crazy asses, twelve, one through eight. And then he hung g up, which that's .

like a verse from the bus.

I was going to say that I E for eight. As far as ruth knew, that particular passage had no special meaning or relevance to her truck. But one section jumped out at her, the woman said in this is a quote, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road were remembered him before. The silver court is broken and the golden ball is crushed. Then dust will return to earth as IT was in spare, in the spirit will return to god who gave IT.

okay? So SHE just receives this White .

like of chill, saying that this weird as phone call, and she's sitting there trying to pick apart what this message means.

This is a nightmare.

absolute nightmare. Now, two days later, around eight o clock in the morning, truck body was discovered um he was found by two teenagers alongside arizona root, eighty six, about fifteen miles east of cells, arizona. When they arrived at the scene, investigators found truck lying about ten of away from his car, which I ve been pulled off the road.

His body was face down on the desert floor with a large hole in the back of his head that have appeared actually to have been made with his own three fifty seven magnam, which was lying by his left hand, strAngely, his eyeglasses, which he always were worse with me, were attached to his left wrist, and he was wearing a black bell that can seal a large knife. But there wasn't any evidence that he had tried to to draw a night for at any point. Otherwise there didn't appear to be any struggle at the scene, and there weren't any footprints to be found.

What a fuck.

When officers searched his car, they found that C, B, radio in the police scanner, as well as quite large amount, amount of ammunition in several weapons. But one of the more disturbing discoveries came when technicians found. A piece of one of his teeth in the back seat of the car, wrapped in a White hanker chip with no idea how I ended up there.

It's like, it's so do you have like injuries like that?

You've been in a fight? No, like somebody punched him.

Now to me that feels like like you get punched. But free teeth, great tea for a good tooth. Them like I don't. I'm trying .

to not related, not not relisted because they .

like what like or maybe just broke s tooth and wrapped .

in in a White handkerchiefs throw in the box seat of his car. Oh no.

it's fucked and weird. I mean, the whole thing is weird. I have no idea and trying to find any kind of Normal see in here, and there's no to even then. wow.

The tooth and the vaccine of the very, we should say. But the strange discoveries continued once the scene had been cleared and the body was taken away to be processed. The pathologist determined that truck had been dead no more than twelve hours, meaning that he had been alive nearly the entire time he'd been missing.

So when that person called and said, chuck is fine.

they were telling the truth.

were telling the truth.

Now the bullet had entered, quote, the top back of the head in, launched in the soft palate behind truck's front teeth. okay. So there's that doesn't explain the truth in the back seat. That just explains where the gun got the bullet lodged.

And you wonder like because it's like that doesn't sound like there was any blood spatter in the car to indicate that he was killed in a car. no. And it's like you wonder if there was blood's Better on the ground at the scene.

I think I would think that there was some kind of blood.

blood spotter. This sounds like like execution .

style yeah and that's the thing. And even more strange, there were no figure prints on the three forty seven magnum, but there was gun powder resident on truck's left hand, indicating that he had fired a gun at at the very least very recently, though not necessarily the gun used in his death. Now, this fact struck roofs among the strangest elements of the case, because, according to her, chuck was right handed, and he said he could do practically nothing .

with his left hand.

strange.

Yeah, like that. This can this, uh, g. Sr, on his hand, right.

and on his left end, on his left hand.

okay.

indicating that he had fired a gun recently, but may not necessarily. This one with his left ten wife are saying, no, he can do anything.

And he did. They make that. They put their hand around his hand and make him essentially do IT with their help and maybe .

there is no that's why there is no singer friends on the gun but it's not even so that such a strange angle .

too coh it's such a strange angle doesn't make any .

thing but it's like IT I don't know the to and that well, I guess the top back of his head so that's not bad strange .

of an Angels weird it's weird.

But if you're but doable yeah .

i'm trying .

were both to sitting here .

like trying to make IT work with and this is wow, this is a weird one IT and I was like I would love to know like the the analytics of like crime yeah like like any blood spatter and like what direction IT looks like IT was going because it's like to IT look like he was this way that is Better that way did IT right because it's like that isn't easier way to do if you turn your head to the site, then doing IT back there because then your angle gets weird in your angle a little more yeah and if somebody was holding your hand to make IT look like you did IT kind of thing, that's an easier angle to go about IT.

But that's the only reason I could think of that his G S R in his left hand right, which he doesn't use right, and that there's no fingerprints on the gun, because maybe they just wiped IT down, I guess. yeah. And maybe they work loves, right? Because then the only .

fingerprints would have been his, which obviously makes sense of hand. Well, IT only get stranger. Oh, good. So finally, in perhaps strangers of all the pathologists discovered, like I said at the top of the story, a two dollar .

bill pint to his underwear.

IT was unclear whether this was the same two dollar bill that truck kept with him at all times, and he claimed had been taken by his kidnappers in march. But somebody had marked the bill significantly. On the front of the bill, there were seven spanish names, beginning with letters, a through g and above them. The note was a crazy osten's twelve.

Oh yeah. So that really was someone calling absolutely .

on the back of the bill, the signers of the deceleration of independence for each numbers, one through seven. And there was a cruelly drawn map that LED to an area between two thousand and mexico, quote to the towns of robots, junction and salad city, both known for smuggling. Or seems like, is this some kind of map to say like he was involved in some fucked shit? Yeah what you like is this .

now .

the crime scene, if that's what IT was, even because at this point they don't know, was deeply strange of mysterious. But as far as if anybody could tell that investigator was there was no evidence of a murder, even the county psychologists couldn't say whether truck's death had been homicide or suicide. So law enforcement officials locally pursued IT as though that could be either they didn't go wonder the other out. I'm glad for the pema cony sheriff detectives, the mystery surrounding the case was more frustrating than anything yeah because on one hand, the incredibly bizarre circumstances surrounding trucks, disappearance and death suggested a conspiracy like right out of .

a fiction novel I really did like seems like something you would see in the first scene of some like wild new crime show, yeah, a wild new crime movie. And then you figure what happened there. And it's like this.

How is this real? right? And all these like weird, strange .

detain malsen and the bible .

being involved in numbered once three, seven. I have no idea. And then there's because all the the signers are numbered. And then there was also seven spanish names that were A G right on the front of the bill.

On anybody, I hope summer someone has try to find some kind of pattern here, know lately.

But on the other hand, the physical evidence strongly supported the theory that truck's death had been a suicide, a strange and elaborately planned one, but a suicide as possible. We could see both sides of this. According to one chair of deputy, Morgan could have pulled the revolver trigger with his thun, even though IT would have been awkward, and blood and dirt found on the gun could account for its lack of fingerprints. Okay, which I I guess, but like fired IT with the thumb.

did we know if, did we know if the hand writing on the bill was not his? Like they know that was not his.

I don't know anything about the end the bill actually.

So maybe I would assume if I was like similar to his, that would be like that would that would be thing that it's like, okay, he wrote he wondering, like what who wrote that because I like I could buy the cause. I he seemed like he was in A A big state of paranoia. You like fly.

So with what he had gone through, he had all this stuff kind of closing in a little bit. So it's like IT wouldn't be shocking. IT would be very tragic, but I wouldn't ouldn't be like the crazy yeah like you kind of that you could see why that could be the outcome, right? Like then you look at the that two dollar bill and stuff, it's like and that and somebody .

calling that the writing on the two dollar bill correlates with a woman calling and referencing the same bible passage and .

that's the thing. It's like so we know he wasn't just like out there you know going through IT and then ending IT this way. It's like he was obviously he couldn't been going through, but obviously he was with other people like obviously somebody knew where he was to call and do that exactly. So it's like this is just a really this is a wild what .

is a strange one. And the suis I theory held no weight with roof or any of trucks, close friends. And as useless tes, they all insisted he was, quote, just not the kind of person who would kill himself. Of course we know, yeah, people don't usually believe their loved one would take their own life. But in this case, the evidence was not that of a man on the verge mending his own life, at least to have roof and and close people to say.

mean and family ronal newman .

told reporters he had everything going for him. He was a family man and real active in the lodge. He had just acquired a new business, which he had been trying to do for a long time. He had finalized one of his goals yeah and just driving that point home even further in the months between his disappearance and march and his death in june, truck definitely seemed very deeply concerned for his own safety, to the point that he never went anywhere without being heavily armed. So they're saying, why would he go so hard on the safety to protect himself only to end IT yeah which I I could see people saying, well, like maybe that just got to be too much and he couldn't hand anymore and if anybody was gonna his life, he was gonna hit him him like, you could make that out yeah, but he was going so hard.

And why why go for such a strange angle?

Yeah, to do IT like that.

I can't get over that like they're saying, like we could have done with the thumb.

why? Why would he do that? right? Like why would he do? Why would he do that? What would the point me? Like, this is an awful thing to think about, but it's like, why would he not just do the, you know, unfortunately, like a lot of times like the gun in the mouth yeah that or in the know I mean, like as awful as that is to think about why would you present yourself like that and make IT difficult .

and do IT with your left hand and ran out in the middle of the end beforehand in a two dollar bill to end with strange writing.

And when you look at the writing, because you can find up a picture of the dollar of the two dollar bills, so you can see the writing if you look IT up, it's clear that person tried to disguise they are writing because they write all in capital letters, right? So in that an easier way to disguise. So that makes us IT feels like somebody trying to disguise they're ready, right?

There's so many strange little and none of this is making that I don't right now to me, IT just doesn't feel like IT makes much of the most sense as a suicide. But I don't know there's .

just a lot of us, our details.

our details like and this is so sad yeah I .

really need four daughters and wife and and the family obviously .

had no idea what was going on and they have no .

answers and you don't even .

know what he knew what was going on. It's like what the hell .

going on here and then like we said beforehand, like is worth just spending the rest of our life thinking people are going to come after her kids yeah. But the first lead in the case came just a couple days after the body was discovered. And IT only made things even fucking weirder when pam accounting determined detectives received a call from a woman who called herself Green nice.

That's when the first lead came in according to the color Green nice. SHE was the person chuck had gone to meet on the afternoon that he went missing. And SHE was the one who called roof and gave her that bible passage. Green told the detectives that truck had met her at the motel, where he showed her a brief case containing thousands of dollars in cash, telling her quote that the money would buy him out of a contract the mob had put on his life.

Hua.

now the story, Green, nice, told detectives, was Fisher very unusual and would likely have been considered a print collar grouped in with tips from unreliable scholars? Except that Green, I seem to know quite a lot about trucks whereabouts in his personal life, to the point that chief deputy share of clearance stop dumping, but believed her to be credible. He told reporters.

This proved that Morgan was not really missing, and that's because Green eyes explained that he had met chuck about a month before his death, and he had, quote, been seeing him socially from time to time, SHE said. SHE had seen him at least four times in the time since he had been missing from his home, and he had visited him at the easy eight motel, which is where he showed her that brief case of cash. So investigators followed up on the information that they have been given, given, and they confirmed that he had been staying at the easy motel the whole time he was missing.

What, in that brief case that supposedly contain thousands of dollars, was discovered in his car. But when they discovered IT quote, IT only contained business cards, so all the cash was gone, if there had been any in the first place. The call from Green eyes gained further credibility when the sherif received a call from a man who referred to himself as the husband of Green nice, and this man told him, quote, Morgan and his associates were involved in buying gold bars and gold coins in mexico. The man won't wouldn't answer any more questions from the sheriff and unfortunately, investigators were never able to identify either colour. The information was some of at validated.

What do you mean they were never able to .

come on because there was the seventies?

I guess they didn't. I even think of that like what .

they couldn't like. Trace IT about this was one hundred seventy seven. One, he found missing. Excuse me, when he was killed.

good.

Yeah, yeah.

wow.

So to everybody, that new truck, the details of his death and the leads coming from anonymous collar seemed wildly off. Yeah, as far as they knew, he was just this mild manner agent, dedicated family men and not some kind of government agent trading and golden and silver across the mexican born, like what? But the more and more than investigators dug into trucks affairs, the more the tips from colors like Greens seemed potentially legitimate.

wow. Going through his personal papers and records, detectives discovered that he was what they called, quote, a collector, a man who had collected records and notes of every type. According to investigators, he had been keeping notes and records on prominent people in and around two thousand oh, quote, as well as very detailed notes on his alleged gold and land deals.

Ah so he was presumably involved in gold dealings. Yeah, because he was keeping record of IT. He was keeping record of IT. While the purpose of the notes would remain a mystery, they did seem to caborn what chuck ot told roof about his being targeted as a result of what he knew about powerful people.

So while the notes about people in around two thousand and phenix didn't seem to be connected to anything in particular, the notes about gold in land deals may have been significant. A few weeks after truck's death, investigators got information from the U. S.

Custom service regarding an investigation that they had launched in one thousand nine hundred seventy three. According to their report, customers officials had received a tip that chuck himself and two associate had been involved in what they called a scam to sell non existent gold. Also, according to that customs report, investigators weren't able to find enough evidence to secure a federal entitlement, and the U.

S. A. Turney office decided not to pursue a case. Which makes you wonder, like, was somebody involved?

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think what's going on here? No.

this is interesting to me. Investigators thought IT seemed unlikely that this was connected to truck's death, which i'm like I actually feel as though it's very related to his death.

If they have to disagree with .

these people here.

if I was a murder, then wouldn't that be a perfect motive?

He is all this information. He's involved in shady dealings and people are pissed off about IT like, I think that actually sounds like the very beginning of a murder.

That's the motive.

exactly. So they felt like I was unlikely that I was connected. yeah. But at the very least, IT was a possible explanation, they felt, for the voluminous records, telegram notes, s and figures about buying and selling millions of ancient, almost pure gold that chuck had been exchanging with people as far as mexicos.

witchland and england.

And that's .

deep. That is working very deep, my friends. right? yeah.

So by the end of the month, the pema I share of office was starting to put together a time line of trucks movements from when he disappeared, cotton quote, on june seventh, to when his body was found. Ruth Morgan had described her husband as missing for this period of time, but Green eyes had referred to IT as truck being in hiding. But from what investigators could tell, while he may have been staying in a motel, he didn't exactly appear to be hiding. He registered at the motel under his own name, and several people reported seeing him, as he quote, conducted routine business in the city in a Normal fashion.

Ha.

so he's just not going home and calling his wife during this period of time, which is strange because people know him as a dedicated family. yeah. But he supposedly was checked into his motala to his own name, and people said that they saw him in the city, which we know. So .

that makes me .

wonder, was that truck who was checked in ah or is that somebody checked in? Is truck trying to make IT seem like truck is in a motel this time? no. Is around this fine, huh? But then at the same time.

here, or weird and .

IT will only continue to. Then at the same time, was a truck that was register at that hotel. Because, remember, when he was found, he'd been missing all this time. But they presumed that he was only dead about twelve hours when they found him.

Yeah, that's sure. So was before that if he wasn't there, right? And he he does make sense.

Maybe he was possibly .

that that was him yeah because it's like you again, where where would he be? Yeah, if he wasn't like, where was he all that time if he wasn't in the place where he's registered at and even stranger?

The same appeared to be true for his disappearance in march when he claimed that he had been kidnapped and drugged, according to investigators. Quote, the day after the abduction was alleged to have taken place, he was seen in two sons when he was supposed to be in phoenix, so IT didn't look like he had gone into complete hiding. IT appeared that for some reason or another, he was hiding from his family and his friends.

I wish I could put these pieces together in anyway.

The only thing that I can think of is why he's saying away from his family and his friends as because he feels like his status as a target has heightened and he doesn't want them .

wrapped up in IT. That's honestly the only thing I can think of. Two right was like, you know, going with that we know dedicated father and dedicated husband like family man. He's trying to keep IT away from the people that he cares about the most. That's the only thing I can .

think of but then he returned home in the .

middle of that but maybe he thinks .

he should just like die down .

because like whatever that like two dollar bill thing was or like maybe he was supposed to do something and they were like you will leave alone or whatever do this and you're gonna back and it's like, so maybe he had to go back to start that process of whatever is they were having him do or wanted him to do you and maybe that's the only reason he went back because he thought he was going into helping family in the long run by like getting this, taking care of whatever this is.

And remember if if he did think that he was taking care of that, maybe that explains the brief case, ful of cash, but he thought was going to get him out of this because I hit.

yeah like maybe this was supposed to be like, you get this, we do this, you'll get all your ship back at the end of IT like we're holding IT for collateral, right? So he goes away from his family and everything to try to keep the mad of IT. But then he comes back to try to do whatever this he needs to do, goes back or doesn't do IT in time.

But that sounds more like he just went back to finish off the deal. really. If if, if he had that brief case full of money, right, and was at that motel, maybe it's like he was there because he was told to go there.

Yes, maybe that was part of the thing. Like you go to the hotel, you check in, I want you d have a brief case ful of this much money in this domination kind of thing, you know, like what you see in the movies. Yes, and I was like, and then we will meet you here.

You will meet us here with that brief things, and then we will send you on your way. right? And maybe that's what he thought was gonna en. Maybe they did everything. They took that money from them because they is in the end yeah whoever IT is maybe and then it's .

like the two dollar bill of IT all was so wear because we're keeping a two dollar bill for collateral well, and it's like writing on IT, what the fuck does that mean? And the fact that Green said she's the one who called roof and yeah alluded to that same bible passage that then written on the two dollar bill.

IT doesn't yeah but then .

like was like.

that's all me to tell you about and it's like, was SHE scared. Was he trying to leak? I don't know. I know. I don't know. This is.

this is, this is just .

such a weird one.

He really is. So in the problem with all these fantastical leads, if you can even really call them out, coming into the share of office was, while they were certainly interesting and compelling as we're sitting here trying to I sect them, they didn't seem to go anywhere that they chase down to lead and then they build, okay, what what next like, yeah are stumped because .

even if you're sitting there come into the the whole like, okay, maybe he he had to go do something and they want to have this money and he was supposed to meet them somewhere. Who's them? Who's them you can you don't even know where to begin.

You've and rumors and stories of him buying and selling golden. So but mars could have gone a long way to explaining this murder if that's what IT was. But they never wear anything more than rumors.

And similarly, the stories of chuck haven't gone into hiding, seem to be somewhat graduated because it's true. He had checked into a motel, but IT seemed, at least to the investigators, like if he was trying to hide from somebody, he wasn't trying very hard. He was his own name being seen in public.

You have like he really doesn't feel like that's what I was. So rather than focusing .

on the majority of, excuse me, focusing the majority of their attention on things they could improve, investigators told their attention toward the evidence and leads that were more likely to be fruitful as far as anybody could tell, chuck's paranoia and his very strange behavior began run march. Shortly after he left western title and set out to purchase that majority share and state wide d esco w service.

IT was that decision that LED him to think of international, where he had eventually secured alone. But IT was that relationship that LED has being pressured to testify in the state's case against spinky and several of its agents. The testimony in that case was confindential and has actually never been released to the public, but the documents and information that is available to the public indicates that the case was related to several instances of fraud on the part of three members of bengal s board who are trying to buy majority stake in the bank.

okay. And because the case involved chucks former employer western title and because one of the boards members in question was a man who was actually representing truck in the purchase of a majority stake and statewide, his testimony was essential in IT securing the conviction. So that tells you something. Yeah, what does a key witness for this case?

So I mean, that's something right there.

and that's gonna put you in danger. You, of course, all these higher ups and these big companies doing insider trading and fuck, I mean that .

kind of that I say all kids to say that I can't even wrap my brain around yeah like I can barely do simple division but I know I know IT doesn't IT probably does not bring a lot of great people around you and .

i'm not trying to fix with that. No but the case was eventually said a lot of cor, and in August of one thousand seventy seven and two investigators, they didn't think that that was related to truck staff um which is weird because i'm like, come on IT sounds really me like a be it's I mean .

that I think up again another perfect motive for someone another .

shady dealing now IT is going on here .

so the death .

of truck Morgan started out as the case, obviously shown in mysterious intrigue. But with each passing week, investigators drew closer and closer to what they felt was a more plausible explanation. He had taken his own life. They thought that was way more possible, which to me.

I don't know.

I don't know, I don't know. I mean, say the IT doesn't seem like to me yeah .

that does not seem like the most plausible .

while getting ended still on.

Hey, weirdos, i've got the scoop on this amazing skin care product that's onna honestly, be a total game changer for you. Many of you already know and love drunk elephant just as much as I do. And guess what? They just launched to see luma hydrogen serum, a gentle ten percent hydrated vitality sea syren that brightens hydrates, improved clarity and reduces blushes.

It's so funny because I literally got a facial the other day, and the girl who did my facial recommended that this product to me. So I started using IT immediately. And I really do feel so hydrated.

I definitely can tell that it's brightening. IT just looks really, really nice on my skin. And IT feels so good, especially in these dyer winter months.

Drunk elephant c luma herbert serum is ideal for those who are sensitive to traditional vamos y formulas, plus you can use IT day and night. I use IT twice a day, and I do have very sensitive skin, and IT has not bothered me at all. Discovered selema see a drunk elephant dot com.

By the end of june, there were a number of the factors in the case that we're causing sheriff detectives toward the suicide theory. And these included the location where truck had been discovered, the fact that he was very public and quote did not indicate that somebody was trying to cover up a murder okay, just like OK. But then also is IT a show of like don't fuck with us yeah like that you could very much be that they might not be trying to cover IT up.

And so you're saying he decided to end his life in a very public setting, like yeah in a very public area that's I don't know I know they said if Morgan had been killed because of something related to a land deal or money launder ing killer, like would likely would have rifled through his car or belongings to remove any incriminating evidence. But all of his papers and business documents appeared to be untouched, which that strange, that is strange. And he was known to push himself professionally, and he had been known to regularly overwork himself, quote, until he had a nervous break down and had to take the week off. So they were like, did he just work himself up into a nervous break down?

I mean, this was the of IT, maybe.

So all those closer to him flatly refused to accept that possibility he could have taken his own life. Others who did know him not like super close in a circle, but knew him well enough. Yeah, they were less certain that he wouldn't have done that.

OK, several colleagues and france told reporters that truck often struggled with social relationships. And quote, was an insecure man who seem to need the approval of others more than most. According to one friend, track quote tended to create a crisis once in a while, just if he could solve IT.

And although Morgan appeared to be a brilliant man, he always seemed to be in financial difficulty. okay. And others who knew truck echo ed, those sentiments, according to pat boldwood, who took over trucks position at state wide after he died.

Quote, the entire board of directors resigned once they knew he was buying the firm. wow. But i'm also like there were also people that still worked there that were probably involved in some shady ship that he terrified again.

So they just worried this all just wrapped up in that like that part of IT. No, like that could be a whole different area or was IT bad? Yeah.

because also he was known as an esco genius. Yeah, you're gonna leave. I don't know because he's involved.

IT doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, but a little lover. A month into the investigation, no new evidence had been found. In all the leads have dried up. So with no evidence to support a murder case and no new tips coming in from the public, the surface department issued a statement on August tenth announcing that based on the evidence and statements collected from those who knew him, truck death was being considered a suicide. wow.

In a statement of the press, the share of sergeant joe jet said, we have found no evidence that anyone took part in the death but himself and just went on to say that the biggest factors in labeling the duck the suicide was one. All the thing in these are all quotes, all the finger prints and footprints at the scene where Morgans there was no sign of a struggle of any kind. Two, the bullet that killed Morgan was fired at very close range from his own three fifty seven magnum revolver, which I inches from his body, and large deposits of gunshot residing on his left hand indicate that he held the revolver barrel in that hand when he fired into the top of his head.

And three, Morgan was in deep financial trouble at the time of his death. Records indicate that he had cash assets of about four hundred dollars and depth of more than forty thousand dollars, including a third mortgage on his e side home. Wow, which is like, that's a lot.

yeah. And this is interesting. So the share of department is like, we're gonna hadn't rule this a suicide. The county psychologists didn't didn't chAllenge the share of department conclusion, but they declined to classify the death as a suicide, huh? And truck Morgan's death on paper with the pathologist remains classified as unknown interest to me.

Is that very thing interesting because it's like if the pathologist isn't willing, the neck gives me .

pause yeah and it's that maybe wasn't released to the public, the pathologist has access to that me just really interesting yeah .

because when they when a pathology refuses to to bend to the sheriff or somebody else with that, i'm like big what's going on? Like what else is there? What kind of feeling did you have?

What did you see initially? You question IT. yeah.

Oh, that's interesting.

I thought so too. And the share decision to label the death as a suicide came as a big surprise to roof, Morgan truck's wife and those closest to the family who remain convinced that truck was murdered.

And I feel really bad for them because .

of like because then you .

don't have any to not know. yeah.

Ruth told unsolved mysteries in thousand nine hundred and ninety. There's no way truck would have committed suicide. And if he had even contemplated suicide, he would have left a letter for his girls in for me.

And then you can understand her thinking that.

yeah, and I, I mean, obviously don't know, check from a hole in the wall, but yeah, when you like, just based off of the description of how much like he ouldn't even let his children leave the house unprotected. He wouldn't let strangers on the house, one of my roof, go to the police because I was going to endanger the family.

Yeah, to me, IT seems like and for her to say that, for her to say there's no way something wouldn't happen without him leaving communication for me and first girls yeah that's her saying like I know him as a man and that's a father and as a husband and I know that he wouldn't have left this world without talking to us with a note at least giving know, just giving a some kind of communication for while and IT doesn't I don't think from what she's said again, I also don't know, check.

I don't know this family, but I don't know he just doesn't seem like he would have wanted to leave all this mystery for his children. Yes, I agree with that because that's a lot to grap with for them to have to wonder. So what she's saying, I think, makes the most sense to me, which is he would left notes for us, I think, so, explaining what was going on and what happened, right?

Yeah, yeah. And journalists on devo, who I mentioned earlier, he agrees with the family theory. He said, i've never seen in all my years as a journalist, I allow take himself out in the desert wearing a bullet proof vest and shoot himself in the back of the head.

That's true. He's wearing a bullet proof best, and he shoots himself. That does not make any service and devo sites. The statements from Green nice and the man who identified himself as Green nice husband as compelling evidence to support the theory that maybe he was oran, maybe he wasn't involved in organized crime, and that he was working as an agent of the government.

perhaps that makes the most sense to me.

to be honest, right? And he elaborated, saying, there is a great likelihood that mister Morgan was, in fact, doing something with the government. I think this was a guy who was extremely naive about a lot of things. I think somebody blew his cover and he got killed on A.

I don't know. I mean, all of honestly, all of these theories, yeah, you could say that makes sense. Yeah, all of them exactly now.

sadly, ruth Morgan unfortunately passed away after battling cancer in two thousand and six. But according to their children, SHE remains steadfast in her belief that truck was absolutely murdered. Their daughter meghan told reporters, in two thousand and ten, my father had a lot of information about people here in two son that could have been very detrimental.

There was a lot of information about politicians, people who are still alive, that work in our government. He had a lot. He had that information, and they wanted to silence him. That's all for which I have chose. Yeah, that's all. Even think about now, the ninety ninety segment of unsaved mysteries featured truck story actually generated a light flurry of interest in the case and resulted in, quote, more calls than any other in the shows history. Up to .

that point on the side of mystery was .

the way to go to go. But among those tips was won from an anonymous source. That quote pointed to a paid hit man then living in the wild spar scratton region, who may have traveled briefly to arezzo a to Carry out a murder contract. According to this anonymous color, IT man supposedly quote, shot a two sound businessman in the head in one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven because he knew too much and then came back to pennsylvania loaded with money.

That's why it's a wild to me that they're like, I don't know this got like that doesn't seem like somebody who would murder someone would leave the scene like this and I don't know a hit man would like he just goes and does a job. People.

plenty of people would like.

They just peace out. They're not worried about like staging a crime scene. Here they are just they do what they were paid to do and in .

there out a job that we've done countless less other times. Yeah so much. yeah. Now a second airing of the unsold mystery's epo de a few months later generated more calls, some of which were actually to the sherifs department, and generated a new potential suspect.

According to urgent dave Thomas of the county sheriff s department investigators interviewed at least one former will explore area resident, but are not releasing the suspects name for legal reasons. Interesting, he noted that the case was never closed and investigators were following up on leads as they received him. But he added that in the absence of any further good witnesses, he said, we probably won't be able to go any further with this.

Which that is that is such a like concrete statement like yeah I don't think will be able to go anywhere with this no parking not by, huh? I don't know. Now, despite the activity and interest generated by the unsold mystery segment, the leads, unfortunately, when nowhere and trucks case was put back on the shelf, but the case popped up in the news again two years later, when thirty five year old two sun computer technician dug Johnson, doug Johnson, excuse me, was found dead in his car from a gung shot wound to the head.

Investigators were unable to find the gun, but without evidence to support a murder theory, the case was labeled a possible suicide, and detective cited his mounting debt as a possible reason, and the case was closed down. Deverill, on the other hand, believes that the death and this is fucked in crazy. Was the result of a mistaken hit that had been meant for him.

What, according to devo, Johnson drove a car very similar to his own, and the two men look generally clear similar to one another, resulting in johnston receiving a bullet meant for dever o in order to stop him from further investigating truck story, because he was going like deep into IT trying to get, nevertheless, devo hedged. I'm not here to tell you for certain that the bullet johnston took was meant for me, nor that there is a known or that there is a known contract out on me for looking into the conspiracy. But I do know that i'm concerned and that they will probably come around again and this .

time it'll make you look like an accident. I have no idea what happened.

and i'm not going to look any further into IT.

And I .

happened we very level.

but and those are just the facts .

of the case. But I have now the death of Charles Morgan remains an open and unfortunately in active case with the county sheriff department and no new leads or suspects have been identified since the early nineties.

And I don't know anything. I don't know anything.

Isn't that a craze? Zy tale. What a wild.

wild case. A wild story. I feel for his family, so not having any answers. And I feel for roof.

He went SHE lived the rest of her life with all these questions yeah but luckily SHE was safe for .

the rest of her life at at this and the daun were unharmed. Cheese, but is a spoke y one very smokey. And when I will never read .

any further into, note me either. And so when that being said.

we hope you keep .
