Thanks for watching! I'm Wes Otis. Welcome to
Agents .ca episode number 29. I have some wonderful
players with me and let's find out who they all
are. Let us start with Saint. Hello, I am playing
Norman Morales and he is being haunted by a ghost
in the machine, but he doesn't know that yet.
Hello, I am Pooja and I'm playing Robin Porter,
who is diving deep into parent -teacher politics.
In a way that she never thought she would, nor
had any desire to do. Hey, y 'all. I am Mac.
I am playing Wanda Sims. And that's all you need
to know. Hey, I'm Michelle, and I'm playing Yesenia
Alvarez. And she's actually not fighting this
time, which is a little weird for her. All right.
So this is a great place for a recap. And boy,
howdy, do we have a lot of stuff going on. All
of you met with Agent Jackson, your new handler
at the Lenny's, I believe two episodes ago, to
get a mission brief about what was going on in
Fresno, California. At Washington Middle School,
there had been five people who have just disappeared,
vanished for some reason, usually at night. After
a sporting event, you dug a little deeper and
you found out that the leaders of the PTA were
Brie Baker, Tiffany Rogers, and Summer Westfield.
And they seem to be the power behind the PTA
and really pushing for what is great for their
kids, not so much what's great for the school
in general. The school itself brings in a lot
of money for sports. and kind of is lacking in
academics and art, which is not unusual for a
lot of schools nowadays. You met with Principal
Martinez. She's an older principal who's pretty
close to retirement, like a year or so away.
You met the vice principal, which was Wallace
Tucker, who he definitely feels, he didn't out
and out say. that these people in the PTA were
Karens, but strongly hinted towards it and wasn't
really happy with where they were going. You
were told in your briefing about Hank Taylor,
who is the athletics director. You have not had
a chance to talk with him yet. Talk to the janitor,
Ace, who has been at the school for a long time
and also mentioned that the PTA seemed to be
very strong. but didn't really have much interaction
with them, luckily. Finally, you met the IT person
Caleb Hernandez. He is a super geek, which is
not a shock, and really lacks on, like, the second
Norman came in and was like, hey, can I look
at your computer? He's like, sure, I'm going
to go outside and not look at what you're doing,
and probably caused Norman's NSA heart to shrink
a few inches in a second. I believe that you
had spoken with all of these people, kind of
got a good picture of the PTA, of what's been
going on inside the school. You haven't really
looked into the victims yet, the people who have
disappeared. They were, just to kind of recap,
Julia Rivers, Shannon White, Tony Kearns, Walter
Thomas, and Richard Wilcox. of kids who are in
sports, Richard is the last victim, are in sports
and possibly had problems with Bree and her cohorts.
I believe Norman took a look at a video of Bree
and Richard having an argument. outside the gym
the night that he disappeared she went back in
the gym he left oh and like saint said norman
keeps having this little prompt pop up saying
are you a friend in their computer so that is
another thing that's been happening okay let's
jump into it so you had all gathered this information
It's still relatively early in the day. I would
say that you probably get together after you
have these conversations unless you want to go
and do something separate again. Or do you want
to come together and kind of talk about the information
that you have? So you're all in the front. You've
gotten your information. You've exchanged the
information. Now you're just going to talk about
what you feel your next moves are. So whoever
would like to start, go for it. Okay, I guess
from what we've all learned, things keep pointing
at the PTA. And Brie Baker. Yeah, at Brie Baker
and her cohorts. My question is, I know Brie
went to the school. Did any of the missing parents
also go to the school? It seemed to be the case
when I was discussing things with the principal.
Yeah, most of them did. The only ones that did
not were Julia and Walter. Those were the only
two that didn't go to the school. I think we
still need to dig up a connection between these
children and their parents if there's something
academically or some other connecting thread
between all of them besides being on the sports
team. Well, apparently... Each of the parents
also, one way or another, challenged Bree, either
for control of the PTA or because of the stranglehold
that she and her flunkies have over funding and
what actually is. So it sounds like our next
course of action is probably discussing things
with Hank and then tracking down the PTA. Yeah,
it makes sense to suss out how strong that connection
is and if Hank even has. control over the funding
of whatever's going on with that money. Okay.
Who wants to go talk to Hank? Well, who knows
the most about sports? I think it's less about
knowing about sports as much as being able to
bullshit academics. Bullshit or, you know, establish
camaraderie. Flexible approaches here. Personally,
I was more of an inside kid. I think we all know
what the answer of this question is. It starts
with a why. It's probably going to be me. Oh,
you? I was going to say Yesenia. Yeah, I was
going to say me. Oh, it could be. I thought it
was going to be the grunt, but yeah. Also, I'm
just spitball. I don't know. But it's like we
can just. Yeah, no, that's fine. No, because
I think because Yesenia has trained and has,
you know, whatever. She probably was in sports
when she was in school. She's, you know, she's
going to know how to talk coach. All right. Well,
then let's do that. Okay. Cool. All right, so
while the rest of you are waiting, unless you
have something specific that you want to do while
this is going on. I'm going to check out that
Pokestop. Okay, yeah, that's cool. No, Wanda
would not be playing Pokemon. In real life, Michelle
will. Just, like, you said that, and I was like,
oh, yeah, I could go for some poke. Same. The
exact same thing. I had a feeling that was going
to be the case. Yesenia, you head to the gym.
There's a bunch of kids running in a circle around
the gym getting ready for their, you know, for
whatever they're going to be doing, probably
dodgeball or something like that. And if they
allow that anymore, I don't know if they allow
dodgeball anymore. They do, but it's with softer
balls. I'm not kidding. They throw terribly.
It's fucking kids today. When I was a kid, they
used rocks. No. Bowling balls. I know. That was
the joke. Softer balls just means it was another
reason they got to cut the days on the school
nurse, right? Yeah. Like if kids aren't getting
hurt as much, then they don't need to have a
nurse. If they're not getting concussions all
the time. It's a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy.
This is the real conspiracy we should be investigating.
So as I said before, Hank is an older gentleman,
probably has been here for like 30 some odd years.
And he's got, he basically kind of looks like
if... just this he's older a little bit overweight
but still looks relatively fit he's got on shorts
that might be a head too small and a white shirt,
polo shirt thing. So he's kind of a walking stereotype
and he's got a clipboard and he's watching the
people and he clocks you come in and he walks
over to you and says, hi, can I help you? Hi,
are you coach Taylor? I am. I am. And you are?
My name is, I forgot what our pseudonyms are.
So insert pseudonym here. I'm with the district.
We are just trying to interview people at the
schools, find out more about the schools so that
we can possibly get you guys some more funding.
So we're just trying to find out, you know, how's
communication at the school? How are how involved
are the parents? How, you know, all sorts of
stuff. Well, I mean, sports tends to do fine.
We have a very strong PTA that brings in a lot
of money through. different fundraising activities,
also winning a lot of different state and regional
trophies helps us bring in cash as well. I would
say that the, you know, sports parents are very
invested in making sure that their children are
at the top of their game. So, yeah. I mean, I
know the PTA is involved with fundraising, but
how much more are they involved? He kind of looks
around as if there's going to be a camera somewhere
around, and then he yells, Sarah, pick it up,
and turns back to you and says, well, we have
certain parents who are very involved. They will
call to make sure. of certain things that most
parents don't like, whether or not their kid
is going to be started or not, or be the first
person. Of course, yeah. The parents with the
more athletically inclined kids tend to be the
ones that are more demanding. Everybody's supposed
to get a chance to... get on the court or field
to play, which I agree with. I think that we
should be letting kids get out there, even if
they're not at the top of the food chain when
it comes to sports. But that upsets the kids
who are really good. If one of these not so great
sports kids gets out there and messes up the
game. it can ruffle some feathers. I can see
that. Little league parents and all, that kind
of a vibe. Do you know how many kids go on to
get scholarships for sports and get denied because
they find out that they lost an eighth grade
basketball game? Zero. But according to his parents,
it matters. So your guess is as good as mine.
I just roll with it because it is what it is.
Yeah, no, I get that. Asking about the parents
and stuff, I mean, it kind of brings me to, and
I look around conspiratorially, you know, because,
you know, I noticed he did, so we're bonding.
I look around and I say, I'm from the district,
so I know about the disappearances. Yeah. Can
I ask you about those kids specifically? Most
of them have dropped out of sports after their
parents left. Understandably. Yeah, the shock
and the dismay of losing a parent. And not just
like, they have no closure because they don't
know what's happened. Are they still alive? Are
they still out there? You know, so that's weighed
heavily on them. Some of them were good sports,
like good in sports. Some of them were okay,
not the leads, but there's a lot of rumors and
conspiracy theories going around about, you know,
the fact that the PTA is run by these three women
who are very set on their kids being kind of
at the head of everything. I don't know. It's
such a stretch for me to think that... You know,
these three people have gone out of their way
to get rid of whole humans just for their kids
to be better than everybody else. So, you know,
maybe I'm being naive. I don't know. But hopefully
the police can figure it out. Yeah, I mean, I
know they're investigating it and, you know,
trying to figure it out. It is concerning, though.
Like, really concerning. Oh, absolutely. Yeah,
I'll be honest with you. Bree has threatened
me a couple of times about making sure that her
kids are the ones in the driver's seat or the
first on the court and the last on the court.
Are they any good? They're really good, actually.
I think if they were bad, it would be better.
it would be easier for me to get them off the
field. But the reality is, is that the principal
wants me to win games because at the end of the
day, the money we get is for sports. And so Bree's
kids are good. Summer's kids are good. Tiffany's
kid is. lagging a little bit, but they'll never
say that because they're all best friends. I
mean, aside from the obvious with Bree, Tiffany,
Summer, and whatnot, socioeconomically, what
were the other, the kids whose parents disappeared,
what was going on there? Most of the parents
in sports, they do well. There are a few kids
that we subsidized because of not a lot of money
at home. And again, those kids kind of get, he
looks around to make sure there's, and just so
you know, the kids have been running this entire
time. He hasn't stopped. So at this point they're,
they're fucking ragged. They're like, you know,
and finally he says, all right, everybody go
to the center of the court. And he says, you
know, there is definitely, social economic issues
as well. Bree, it's that thing where they never
say, they don't want to say that they're issues,
but you know that that's the issue. So he goes,
look, I'm really sorry. I got to get back to
these kids, but if you have any more questions,
here's my card. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank
you. Good luck with your funding. Thanks. All
right, so you all have gotten back together.
We're going to say that you are, unless there's
another reason to stay at the school, do you
want to stay at the school or do you want to
go to a second location? No, we'll go to the
local Lenny's or something. Okay, so you guys
go over back to the only place you know in Fresno,
which is the Lenny's, and you order drinks and
whatever. Info dump all that information. It's
obvious that Bree and her friends are definitely
pulling strings and stuff. Now, whether or not
they're making whole ass people disappear, you're
not sure yet. That's a really big jump. Making
someone disappear completely is not easy. I've
only had to do it three times, and it was a lot
of crap. And lying gets expensive. It really
is. And going out to the right spot in the desert
takes time. So what would you all talk about
while you're at Lenny's? What is the next step?
Where do you think you want to go from here?
Well, I'll make sure that I show them finally
they can see the footage that I have. I think
we discerned that the only relevant footage was
the argument in the parking lot right between.
And now I know that's that was Richard. Is that
Richard Embry? Yes, Richard was the last one.
That's the one that was the easiest one to find.
Oh, did we find out when the next big sporting
event is? I just realized that was. I'm going
to say yes. Good info. That's probably something
that you would have asked. So the next big sporting
event is it's winter. They're doing basketball.
So it's probably this coming weekend, Saturday
night. All right. So we're going to probably
want to prep to stake that out. And the basketball
trophy that got stolen from the school. Right.
Oh, we had actually skipped over that. Yeah.
Forgot about that. Yeah. So the basketball trophy
was. From the 80s and was for the championship
for the entire school. It didn't have a particular
name on it, but it did go missing. Does that
coincide with when Bree was at the school or
is this prior to her? It coincides. And was the
championship boys or girls? Girls. And when Bree
was on that team? Yeah. Were the other girls
on the team as well? Summer was. Tiffany was
not. And Tiffany is the one whose kid is not
great. Right, yeah. And she's the one who's fairly
new to the district. Correct, yeah. So she might
be the weaker point of the three, potentially.
Potentially. Potentially. Well, yeah, potentially.
I mean, they said that things changed. Like,
Brie was always kind of a tyrant, but it got
significantly worse when Tiffany entered the
picture. So rather than her being the weak point,
she may be the catalyst. So Tiffany wasn't on
any sports team? She was in soccer, but this
was back when, you know, soccer wasn't... sucker's
bigger now than it was back then. I think we
should contact our handler and see if they can
dig up any more information about these women,
any kind of potential criminal records or dealings
with the police, and potentially go and stake
out their... homes agent jackson can get you
that information relatively quickly so and i'll
just tell you now basically tiffany has a couple
of speeding tickets and that's it brie has some
incidents where she loudly wanted to talk to
a manager but these were just things that were
reported on in the you know the she wasn't arrested
but it was put in the log it's like hey this
person caused a problem at a particular coffee
place or whatever have any of them been in a
viral video no no viral videos yet they're but
they they are candidates definitely from what
you're seeing they are totally candidates for
that are they all married yes they are all married
um i would also want to have information dug
up on their spouses I would like any information
on suspected occult activity as well, just if
she can find anything. Just simply because while
this is horrible what's going on, it seems very
conventional as far as people are being kidnapped
and possibly killed, you know, or whatever. They're
being disappeared. But that would be more the
FBI's jurisdiction than Delta Green. So I just
want to see if there's an occult connection.
Absolutely not really that you can tell. And
that's part of the reason you're here is to find
out if there's an occult connection or some kind
of supernatural thing going on with these disappearances.
There's no rock solid. lead in any sort of way.
Just gut feeling. Do they belong to any churches?
They all are evangelicals. Okay, so there's a
local church? It's called the Way of God. Cool.
Is it a particularly controversial church? Not
really. They're pretty melbatosed would be a
great way to put it. The pastor doesn't have
any scandal on them. So there's not anything
pointing to problems within the congregation.
And was there information on the spouses? Was
there any criminal records for anybody else,
like any red flags there? Pete is Bree's husband.
He was arrested when he was in college for basically
having... A little bit more pot than he should
at one time. And he didn't go to jail for it
or get convicted. It was like, boys will be boys.
Move along. Roderick, who is Summer's husband,
he's clean and an accountant. He is relatively
successful at doing other people's books and
brings in a decent amount of money. Pete owns
his own lumber yard. where they sell for commercial
use and all of that stuff. Sorry, they're registered.
He has a lumber yard. Yeah, he has a lumber yard.
That's a lot of space. It is a lot of space.
Very true. My brain turned on. Okay, and I'm
sorry, Roger was whose husband? Roderick is the
accountant. Oh, whoops, I wrote Roderick. And
we'll fuck that up next week when I call him
Roger next week. He'll be Rogelio next week.
Rogelio. Suddenly Latin. There's a TV show. Yeah,
from like the 90s. That's funny. Sorry, Roderick.
Roderick was whose husband? Oh no, I wrote Rogelio
down. I believe I said summer. Yeah. Summer.
Okay. And he was clean as a wind, right? Yeah.
Do we already ask how many kids do each of them
have? Is it all just one kid? Actually, Bree
has three children who are evenly spaced out,
which is why she's been able to control the PTA
in all these different levels of school for so
long. She's all over the place. She's doing all
of this different stuff. Giga Karen. Giga Karen,
yeah. Omar is Tiffany's husband. No, Pete's Tiffany's
husband. Oh. No. Pete is Brie's husband. Okay,
sorry. I'm trying to keep track. So, Pete is
married to Brie. Roderick is married to Summer.
Omar is married to Tiffany. Omar actually has
no criminal record. He's a real estate agent.
And Agent Jackson says, I think Omar is... Good
for blackmail. We still know so little. Yeah,
I know. We know so much and yet so little. If
we still have an in to the communication, especially
if we've been looking at Omar and Tiffany's exchanges.
You definitely do. Yeah, I would love to get
that access myself so I can start sifting through.
some more so yeah you you all are absolutely
right you have a ton of information and it's
like what's actionable so yeah say your NSA connections
you can look up what's going on with that and
you can even look deeper into what's going on
with Pete and Roderick even though they're clean
on paper so there's the NSA there's talking directly
with Brie and whatever they're staking them out
There's we can fast forward to the basketball
game. None of this needs to be real time, obviously.
I'd like to stake out like Bree's place specifically
just because she seems to be like the main target
on the lead up to the basketball game. I feel
like the basketball game is going to be our big.
OK, so are you going to do a night thing or a
day thing? Because Brie is definitely a house
mom. She doesn't have a job that she's going
to sit at all day. I don't know. There's a couple
things I want to look at. A real estate agent
would have access to a lot of empty properties
where burying bodies wouldn't be noticed. And
a lumber yard owner has access to a lot of places
to lose a person in. Okay. You can easily find
out which places Omar has up for sale right now,
which places he's sold recently. Do you want
to go to several of those locations and check
them out? And do you want to break into the lumberyard
at night and look around? I definitely want to
be around for the lumberyard stuff because I
do have a bit of heavy machinery knowledge. Okay.
That I've never been able to. Oh, it's my time.
And then also, I think before we go anywhere,
I can do. a check on their emails and communications
to see what's the best time, so we won't have
to flounder around that. I was thinking that
would help us schedule out when we hit, if we
can tell what's going on there. I'm willing to
do the first roll of the episode. All right,
so go ahead and give me your computer roll. And
you're at a negative 20 for reasons you'll find
out soon. Oh, what? I was here in my comfort
zone. And I'm taking it right out. Go for it.
Lordy. Well, that still gets me. It has me at
41. It's not horrible. Oh, my God. 41. 41. I
just like being comfortable, you know? Okay.
Let's do this. On my desk. Don't fall off my
desk. Thank you. Oh, shit. It hit. Okay. I do
see it. Okay. I didn't even look at it. I should
have known. I should have known. All right. Okay.
So then I got a three. Yes. Did you roll a three?
Yes. On the other die? So yeah, that's a three.
Yeah. So you did really well. All right. So you
find out a lot of information. Omar has been
renting one of his own properties and has been
staying there. It seems several nights a week.
He also has several properties that are up for
sale that he doesn't seem to be pushing very
much. You also find out that Roderick has been
speaking with offshore banks recently and moving
a lot of money around. that is not coming up
on the regular channels, but because you critically
succeeded, you have found those interactions.
And Pete... has been looking for a buyer for
his business as well. So all three of them seem
to be making financial moves to do some big move
for themselves. Can I tell if the wives are also
communicating about these things? Do they seem
like they know? The wives are talking to each
other about... It's a code and you're not sure
what it is. But with the role that you've made,
I'll say that they are meeting often outside
of the PTA. But at times where they'll say like,
oh, workout tonight. But it'll be like 11 at
night or some bullshit or in an area where it's
like. What are you doing? This is not an area
you would do a workout in or something like that.
So the code that they have is about working out,
getting together, blah, blah, blah, which would
be normal if it wasn't at odd times or odd places.
And the next time they're getting together is
Friday night, the night before the game. So you
may have to stealthify that. Yeah. And actually.
I think this might be a good place for us to
stop because obviously we're going to have a
lot of places to go and a lot of things to do.
And if we get into them now, it's like a bunch
of more stuff. So I think this is a good place
to stop this particular episode. But you've gathered
a lot of information. So I think that's good.
