I'm holding my record next to my hip, passing around, trying to find the right time to ask just one question. Do you know anything about the woman who was missing from here?

等待等待。 哒 哒哒。

滴滴答。

Long before this land was called america, native people danced in a circle around the drum for celebration, fellowship, renewal and healing.

For generations and throughout many cultures, people have gathered in celebration each month during a full mood around the fire. They seen, they dance and they play the drum, a tradition no more commonly as a drum circle, from ancient ritual gatherings to casual parties in the desert, drum circles have become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon.

Just two years ago, in july of two thousand sixteen, twenty nine year old of Crystal and rising er went to a full moon drum circle. By the time the night was over, Crystal disappeared and she's never been seen sense. But this story is a started a drum circle. IT starts in less .

Angeles from .

tenor foot TV in atlantic. This is a vana season too.

I'm standing outside the low hotel in hollweg, california. I'm about to meet with the former boyfriend of Christal rising, her, who went missing in july of two thousand sixteen.

My name is Ellie, ghana, not A X boyfriend of Crystal, father of our daughter. And what's your name of koshi? I say over here for here, near the mike.

see you name.

My name is A.

How do you got five?

five? You're pretty big.

Christal and E.

I had a daughter together, and he lives with E, I here in less Angeles.

Menu pocket so I can save them later.

But .

IT will be.

I had a good buddy of mine. We've been friends for years. He had a friend that he wanted to innocence. Me too.

I was like a friend of a friend introduction kind of a thing, and when we met was kind of like fireworks immediately. IT was one of those things that we just kind of fell off really fast. The relationship moved really fast.

He seemed like he was just fast board to instant relationship kind thing. And we were moved in together, and I was just, yeah, just an awesome, wonderful experience. My first impression was like, where were you my whole life? He was very sweet, very intelligent, very deep thinker, covered in tattoos, pierces different looking, kind of a wild look in person. My type girl.

you. I had met Crystal and denver, and they fell in love almost instantly. At first, things were great.

They moved in together. Crystal gave birth to their daughter, a aha. But after a few years, Crystal expressed to E. I that he was ready for a big change in her life.

SHE really wanted to get out of the city. He was always on a spiritual journey. SHE was always on a quest on, you know, always trying to go deeper and deeper into things.

according to E I. Crystal was always on some sort of spiritual quest. And SHE found herself drawn to a tiny town and south central colorado call crestone.

SHE went to Christon, colorado, which is known to be A A big spiritual gathering place. SHE believe crestone was just interject ally, just a great place to channel. And being the energies there were amplified that earth, natural energies, SHE was very sensitive to a lot of things.

And so he was really sensitive to, like the earth, the rocks, plants, people, animals that didn't matter, which was just really sensitive to energy and stuff. So SHE felt like I was a great place relying her energies. But there is energies.

This is such a tiny, isolated place its way out in the mountains kind's, southwest colorado. I don't know where near really. It's just so isolated is literally in in the mountains. It's just out there in the mountains.

even though Crystal had moved nearly four hours away from denver, SHE kept in touch with you and her daughter.

a asia daily. I mean, he did not miss more than a day at the most without keeping in touch.

So Crystal was in enjoying Christan. SHE was happy there. And eli supported this. IT has always been in Crystals nature to wants to know more about the world around her, to find her purpose. And for the first time he seemed to have found her place. Crystal had this keen sense of the world's energy around her and was always seeking a higher level of understanding. But that wasn't the only unique thing about her.

Well, I got to include this. So so Christal was pretty psychic. SHE was kind of a terrible ant. SHE would know things who had permission of things, and they would always happen. One time he called me up and he had a really bad premining tion that something bad was gonna en to both me and her IT was going to be something violent and something that we may not survive .

SHE couldn't tell me .

exactly what I was gonna, but I was going to happen soon. Within a few days, there was something that was unavoidable. There was something that couldn't be changed, was what he said. I knew not to take IT lightly.

Coming from her.

Two days later, I was on my way home from work, and I have no memory of the events, but I just remember waking up in the hospital. They were working on my face. I'd been stabbed in the face, beaten, brutally beaten. All of bones in my face are pretty much broken, blown out, or little sockets in everything.

He'd been attacked by a stranger and nearly beaten the death, but from there things took even darker turn.

So SHE came down and took Carry me immediately from Christon till I can take care of myself. And then two days after he got back to Crystal, SHE disappeared.

You seen her system?

No, no, no. SHE disappeared. And that was the last I seen over.

After a couple of days and not hearing for her, and I was callinan no reply, I definitely had a bad feeling. I got a hold of the police, and they said that someone had already filed the missing persons required. He was a landor.

So I got to hold up a landlord and immediately things didn't sound good, SHE said. IT wasn't like her not to come home that he just disappeared. Nobody knew where he was. The police were trying to steer as one way where I was. I definitely this look like he killed the herself, but I knew there was no way.

Manner stepped that when I scare the whole town, we went all around the vicinity, ity in the woods, were looking for hiking all around, couldn't find her. We questioned, I think, every person in that area, like within the town, I think we definitely was that it's a tiny, tiny place you can barely call IT. The town is so small, but we definitely encountered everyone that lives their question to ask them if they seen her, you everything we could.

Crystal advantage without a trace two years later. E, I still has no answers and is changed him as a person.

just a whole, like something just so big and profound in my life is gone and so incomplete. If IT wasn't for her daughter, SHE has just been the healer. Just like Christal said this whole time, she's kept me strong.

She's healing me. I just feel like I can't imagine where I would be without without her daughter. But I feel like, like, I have a phantom pain. Like if you lost a limb suddenly, like I like, I have like this phantom pain, like she's still here, but I can feel her, but she's not.

As I wrapped up my interview, a cautious across the table and whispers red something to me. My spirit world.

And this time we'd like ask her but the tenants to please take the seeds for life.

Next, I was off to denver, colorado, to meet with rodney, the father figure in Christal life and the family that raised her.

Good to see you.

I keep for having us over.

We meet rodney at his house with me was one of our producers, maritz, and rodney introduced to his wife, debby.

You can generally tell a lot of people by their kids. That's what i've found. If you make catia unbelievable little girl and she's indicative of Crystal, she's got that Sparkly, the inquisitive that just love you to death, that is Crystal.

I feel like I failed her. We lost the sun years back to suicide, and I never wanted to feel that again. And this is bringing all that back.

What I should have said that, or what I should have done, or you, I lay awake at night thinking about what I should have done of said, you really start die sexting just about every two minutes of the past fifteen years. And it's amazing. The things I remember and the things I don't remember.

SHE used to be in here. SHE had this whole downstairs to herself for a couple of years. The bed was right here. IT was the night .

I know just, you know, when when we're talking when i'm talking about the master on the floor and all that stuff, you start thinking back in the past and you start thinking about the really stupid crap you get upset about the in hindsight is really what IT is just crap.

hearts that you're even considering this. I hope we can find Christal for that. Crystal was just a wonderful lost soul, so to speak, but SHE kept .

SHE lived with us for a number of years when he was fifteen and half. SHE met her son. I ask him about .

cystinosis and how he became the father figure in her life.

She's from arizona, and he was awarded to the court. They also appear to live with an ant. Evidently, the ant was off the wall, so SHE didn't really have a place to stay.

So they are started our soga. We finished the basement and we let her stay in a room down there. And then over the years, we've help her get in the college and moved her. And just like Kevin, another child.

rodney, biological daughter, amy, was just a few years, apart from Crystal in, they grew up in the same home calling to her, she's incredible, unforgettable. You don't meet many people like that who have this intense, cool, crazy energy that everybody lives with. SHE laughed a lot.

SHE laughs to everything, even if it's kind of think a laugh about sh'll laugh about IT. Anyways, SHE smelled a lot. Pales a ghost, just like me.

She's an absolutely wonderful person. SHE had an incredible ability to keep going on. SHE really, really wanted to succeed at something. And some excuse my friends, some fucking pizza shed took that away from her.

Since Crystal went missing, rodney's been doing some investigating of the zone.

There is a lot of inconsistently in the actual last time that he was seen for some reason that the third fifth is the one that sticks with me. July thirteen th of two thousand and sixteen .

SHE was first reported missing. Rodney drove down to the town across one admit with their police department.

They were telling me at that point he was a wild party or and having these noisy parties in her apartment. If he was having such wild parties, the apartment would reflect that. And they did not, in any way to perform.

reflect that.

Christal lived in a small apartment by herself in the center of town, runny campus, the area and self, along with the police.

The day or so before SHE disappeared, sh'd bought all her Normal health foods, bedi burgers or her organic vegetables. They have a record of her using her food stand card. As far as when he bought the stuff, I think IT was on the twelve or the eleven of july, just a couple days before he went missing.

SHE stuck to make convertites contact with catia you know if that's an indication of a person, it's completely off the rails and go on south. I don't buy IT. It's a crock of shit that the police and and a few people in that town or spread around.

Rodney took korean letter, lived in the basement in the house, make sure he got to school every money for clothes and feather.

This is Chris halls, me. He's an investigative reporter from fox news, and denver needs the only T. V. Reporter to ever cover Christal story.

He just saw a need. He saw this poor girl and no way to survive without just living on the street. And he took a in, what a kind hearted guy.

This is the file of different things that we got out of her apartment because you could go through IT and say there's anything that's even of to you .

um when he went missing, he was the first one to get in his truck and drive five hours and start handing out these fliers because he had always taken care of her.

Yes, this was in her apartment.

While the house in denver, he gave our producer marry than I A box of cristal belongings from a report .

man and crustal IT was .

full of mostly pictures dating back to when choose a Young child. There are also tons of documents, bills and receipts, all kinds of things. Brighton encourage us to go through IT ourselves to see if there was anything helpful.

He managed to keep all the things that were important .

to her and other things in here that that we didn't know about, you know, class as he had taken. And you know, SHE did things like filed for bankruptcy because I didn't know about IT. But but it's a little bit of a glimpse of her life. I'm assuming that was her grandmother because that's who .

raised rodney wife debby showed me several pictures of crustal and their family together. Crystal had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes, SHE often more head veils and flowing dresses.

SHE always tried to move forward and always was able to survive. And that in one of the things that always struck me was that the SHE SHE just wanted to be a good person. After two .

years of searching for Crystal and still no answers, rodi wants as many people as possible to hear her story.

I don't know if this is a tipping point, but there comes a point where it's like, man, is you guys start making your presence known and fox knows Chris. Chris said that he he's gona push more.

Crustal and rising are dropped off the face of the earth. Last july, he was living in Christine, a town of less than a thousand people in south central color.

or not far from the great sanding s national park. Investigate report Chris hall need traced rising his final days to discover IT is unlikely .

SHE simply walk the way, hold me three by three blocks long Crystal, at first gLance, is just another sleepy lay back hippa. The surrounding mountains and sand dunes hold a raw, peaceful beauty, but the nearby hills may also be hiding some very dark secrets. Considered secret ground by the nava hope, this place has lately been attracting truth seekers of a worldwide new age.

True ligious movement, Crystal rising. Her was one of those drawn to so. I've long been reporting cold case crime. We've been run in a series, reports called death on the train.

This friend of Crystals had seen that serious reports and SHE called theory and said, I saw what you could do for the other woman. Can you help Crystal? The tiny town of Crystal is full of big rumors about what happened to Crystal.

So the fox thirty one problems offers came here to figure out fact from fiction. Why I think most people agree on is that this is the last place you would see. It's called the drum circle. SHE was seen at with the .

color drum circle.

It's part party, part religious experiences as a full moon. Hundreds of people from the area around Christ, one on the full moon, go out of town to this park, and they start this huge bond fire, and they sing in the dance, and they do drugs and they drink. IT means something different to a lot of different people.

Native americans would be offended that IT became a party, but that just sort, it's more into the quest down. So watch Kenny share step, say they believe someone who went to the drum circle for moon ceremony knows exactly what happened later that night. We couldn't find anything. Stand til that he was seen after the the drums circle.

I asked Christal former boyfriend, ely about drum circles too heve been to some.

it's just a party out in the woods. I just goes on all night. They just play the drums pretty much all night and there's a lot of drinking and drug is going on.

Apparently there is this one guy that seen her walking off alone into the forest. Their people are putting her at the drum circle. It's they're walking towards the drum circle. They are walking just often to the words.

You've seen photos over, video over. She's hard to miss and then there's no way wouldn't know Crystal if you were from crustal IT wouldn't take a week before you would be like, oh yes, I know who he is wild hair and big, flamboyant personality in a crustal lived right downtown in the heart of the small little town SHE main impression on that little town in a short amount of time.

Chris hal's needs spent settle days in Crystal, developing his new story on Crystal, I asked to describe the place.

It's not much. It's just a few blocks of a couple little hotel, little restaurant, delhi, couple little grocery stores, a liquor store. It's not much of a town.

The population of the place really is just outside the town. This group given away free land to all sorts of religious sex to set up houses and housing, churches, temples just outside the town. There's a lot little roads and tricity running out to these places, but they are very private.

But that's where most the people are just out of town in these religious areas. It's quiet. No one's going to bother you in question.

If you leave people alone and leave you alone, it's the tail of two worlds there. There's one hundred and forty three people that officially registered to live in in reston, and their income is very low, poverty level low. You get outside of town into the county. There are some really nice homes at high income. We definitely two sets of people there Christal's .

explore for an E I had gone down the quest stone with roddy to search for, but he didn't learn much at all.

Well, local people don't like to give up too much information if you're an outsider. And they're just like, if you can imagine, just like a really super tight nit community where everyone knows each other for generations and they don't like outsiders much even even those lot of outsiders coming in through the town, the kind of resent them.

they're distrustful.

SHE fit in there and he .

knew IT it's why SHE wasn't to come back the denver. She's fit in, and I think SHE wanted to leave there. I think she's just found her place mental beginning of her friends or family thinks you wanted to leave. It's heartbreaking to to see all that the life in her eyes at that Young age.

Happy birth day to you make. Wish yeah 爱的 开始 这个 对 吧？

Running around, excited about life. And when you sit down and just have a quiet moment with her, he knows exactly why I asking the questions, and it's because he knows her mother's gone. Whenever I see a missing poster, I think maybe there's still a chance SHE was a little flaky, that he found just the right guy and ran off and want to disappear that she's in mexico or argentina or coasters. Ka, if she's in a cult somewhere and she's just fall on off the face of the earth, that doesn't want me what you to find her, but they should be alive, at least someday maybe you could come back to the realization or daughters here. And there's people that lover and been looking for, for that little girl to have an answer.

You pay such an international picture of this town, creston. It's a tale of two world.

Well, what we ve found is that it's really a peaceful, meditated place. And thousands of new age religious seekers from all over the world have come there. That's a real dark side there.

The drug culture is strong and a very thin police force. Maybe was a religious thing for her, but more SHE was more mother earth. SHE was more trying to connect to this planet, because she'd done that before.

For quite a while, I think police and neighbors thought she's gna turn back up. She's gonna come back. She's went on one of these journeys.

I spent quite a bit of time in denver diggin the craters past and meeting some of her family. But IT was clear that if anyone knew what happened to her, they weren't here. They were interesting. Or may the trip there myself. I spoke cryo father ready or more time.

There's just something really, really strange about this whole deal. You know, we've been down there from time to time. I call the share of I call a deputy and very rarely does you get back to me. They're understand and underfunded .

and I don't know.

I want to trust them. The boy, I tell you, he thinks that started to chip away here for one reason or no there. I don't know if it's know if he goes back to their understand, underfunded and overworked and you know when everything else because there's only like six of that whole county.

So crust alone, I think, keeps them busy. Boy is easy to get lost up. And all this, you know, I find myself gone different directions all the time.

And I met with damn rodney's daughter and Christal sister. So are you? So all visual? sure.

bigger? Not like .

mediating? yes. So you'll definitely be working in as a little more like what amy was with her husband Alice, also a good friend of Christal. I asked her husband Alice about my safety and Crystal, since he had been there several times himself.

Your safety? Yeah, Carry something I don't know know.

There's still hope. I think he takes one brave soul, lives in cristan, who's on the fringe of something little city, to have a courage in the heart to step forward and let the authorities know what they know. IT is old nave ho country, and they have left a pristine and rough and unknowns for a reason.

Just leave its beauty at the same time. You don't just stumble across things out there. You stay on the train.

we. like.

The minute you drive into town and buy a so at the delhi, just about everybody knows you there. And when you ask the first question about Crystal, ten more people know you there. In another hour, hundred people know you there. They really monitor outsiders. I got filling.

People didn't .

like me then asking questions. They they wouldn't respond at all or would say something real home. Me like, oh, you know, I heard about that. I can help you. Sorry.
