Ep55: Advocating for Black & Brown Community ~ 'Prophet P.I. ' Reuben Mitchell
Transcript
My name is Reuben. They call me Prophet P.I. and I'm a pastor. I got the Prophet Pi from because I like the digging stuff. I like to just, you know, dig deep. I used to be a skip tracer. If you need an enforcement. But I also worked in loss prevention. I was a regional loss prevention manager. So you're dealing with the same type of training that law enforcement.
Go through and you know just it's just, you know, some skills that I have. Plus being in the military.
Also.
I started out in the Navy and ended out in the Marines.
Can you tell us about your experience and background in advocating for missing individuals and seeking justice for the black and brown community?
Yeah, what started it was I wrote a book. It's called relentless love operation rescue. And that's on Amazon. It's a story about my daughter who was kidnapped. She was. She went missing. She went missing. She was missing about four years. I found her when she was 7. Tracked her across five different states.
Her mother had joined the cult.
And with this Cult, I actually talked about a little bit on TikTok and on social media with this code. She, you know, was traveling around, they go off grid and everything. And I started using my skills to locate her and found my daughter. And once I got.
Her.
Other people started reaching out to me. They were like, hey, you know, you found your daughter can.
Help me. I guess it was just like a really deep passion to try to help people.
Find the lost.
So that's what got me started in it. And as I as I got deeper and deeper into it started getting results. We we had some, some young young people that went missing and law enforcement.
You know, they reached out. They were putting out some stuff.
And we helped find that I had to, you know, because most people don't call the police, but they will call somebody like myself like you. And you know that way they're not getting involved with the police. And they called me, told me where this get these young people were I called law enforcement, let them know they went and found them.
They were.
Safe and it was a trafficking incident and.
And then it just started going from there. Then I found a a friend of mine. She was on social media.
I think it was on.
On the book and she.
Had listed that her son was missing something was.
Going on, but you know, just putting the information out there, the news wasn't picking it up. Law enforcement didn't put out any kind of alert, and it was like, unknown to everybody. And and it broke my heart. But it made me mad at the same time because I'm like, why, why are you not putting this out? Because if it was anybody else, you're going to put it out immediately.
So we started advocating, started putting out the stories trying to. We started digging. Friends started coming forward. Other people started coming forward. And that's when it just took off. From there. It just really took off and we're still working that case. But we found out also.
Working cases like that where Corey Daniel is missing. Then we found out that the same person who has ties to Corey Daniely has ties to another person who has been missing for over four or five years. Then we found out that this same person has ties to another person who disappeared in the same manner.
But they found they found this person's deceased, but this person is tied to this other person. So it just went down a rabbit hole. And the more we dug, the more we kept digging. And the way I am, I'm going to keep digging until.
I.
Get to the bottom. So I just kept digging and started bringing out more stuff. That's when the news picked it up in California.
That's when law enforcement actually stepped in. Then the federal authorities stepped in, and now it's it's it's it's all. It's a nationwide.
Thing now you know to where they're like. OK, you know, they're putting pressure on us. I've actually had law enforcement reach out to me and tell me, you know, hey, can you calm it down just a little bit because it's putting.
Too much pressure.
On it and I'm like, no, I'm going to keep putting pressure until you find them until you actually take us serious. But that's just, you know how I got started at all this.
I am so glad that your daughter was found. If every person had a father like you, that was just determined. No matter what persistent, no matter what. And I know there's a lot of people out there who are doing.
And sadly, they're not getting the same result or there's the outcome is different. So I I thank you for sharing that story. In what ways have you utilized TikTok as a platform to raise awareness and share stories of the missing lost individuals? And can you provide some examples of successful campaigns?
I think he pretty much talked about one story. Did this come initially from the TikTok or was it? Do you have another story that you could also identify that was successful?
From a TikTok.
Man, there's like I think I have like over 7000 videos. Well, there was a young lady. I forgot her name, but there was a young lady that went missing. She's 13 years. She was 13 or 14 years old. She went missing and she had a child while she was in the foster care system. And she ended up going missing. Disappeared.
Nobody could find their law enforcement nobody, and it was kept quiet. And the moment that somebody had reached out to the mother and told the mother to reach out to me.
And when I reached out and put, put a video together for this young lady and her baby immediately and that this is the amazement of social media, the young lady immediately and her boyfriend reached out to me and they said they said, Sir, we are OK. I'm like prove it. Video call me and prove it.
You know, let me know that you're OK. I want to see that you're OK. I don't want to make sure that you're fine. She video called myself and one of my other coworkers with being in the the Black News network.
They reached out to us, did did a video call, and she showed us that, you know, she was fine, you know. And then she told me a little story as far as why she had to leave. And, you know, the foster care system was kind of jacked up. But that was a successful story. We had another one where there there was another child that went missing.
Young man, he went missing and it it had to do with something.
About peer pressure.
And joining gangs and everything. And and he didn't want to join.
The people thought that.
He his family had money, you know, and they called themselves trying to.
Basically kidnapping and I I told a young man cause I I have a computer science degree. So you know I'm a techie, so I told him certain things to do on his phone so we could track it. You know, that way we could track him and then I'll hand the information over to law enforcement. And that's when when he did that, they were able to find it.
You know a success story. There was another two or three other young ladies that went missing and it started getting kind of dim because they had been missing for.
For months, and the moment that family members and their friends reached out to me, they said, hey, can you run this story because this is what you do. Run this story the moment we ran the story, not even a couple of weeks later, they were found. So one was found, like, almost 700 miles from home. There was another one that was found in the next state.
Over there was another one that was found with a friend, you know? So those are success stories that not all of them are success stories.
But we do end up finding that person, whether they're alive or deceased.
So like you said, it's amazing what uh, social media can do when it's in your right hands like yourself. And like many other people who are trying to use it for the better for the good instead of just like, oh, I I try new dance trend. You know that to me it's just like I get it. We all need like a little, you know.
Plans of the palette, but there we need to get back to work and finding this Smith the.
Missing people so.
I think we've talked about it. It's all about communication. Communication plays a crucial role in advocacy work. And how do you ensure that the stories of the missing individuals, particularly those from the black and brown communities, are effectively communicated through social media platforms like example, TikTok, and any other platforms that you're currently on?
Have you faced any challenges in this aspect and how did you overcome them?
Yeah, there was one big case because a lot of these cases, especially when it.
Deals with children.
Takes an emotional toll on you. There was one big case that I worked. The mother actually reached out. I put the story out there and, you know, and it was like, you know, everybody was gung ho going for the grandmother and uncle. You know, we need to get him arrested.
And all this stuff.
And then when that story reached, I think it reached almost like.
3 or 400,000 views, and then all of a sudden, friends started reaching out. People that knew the young lady reached out to me, people that knew of the family reached out to me and they started sending me screenshots of text messages. They started sending me videos and all this other stuff and come to find out.
The grandmother and the uncle had nothing to do with this.
The mother dropped the baby off and the baby was already deceased. She came back in order to try to put it on them and I started doing more digging and more digging and more digging to where I even started contacting the law enforcement. We were talking amongst each other and that's when we found out even got the autopsy report back finally.
And found out that you know, right now they can't charge anybody because this family is known for covering for each other. But.
We did find evidence that narcotics was used by the mother and her boyfriend and the baby had got a hold of this cause.
It was on her.
Bottle and I mean it. It was really bad. I mean, the living conditions were bad. It was so bad to wear some of the videos. I I couldn't even stomach it.
And I'm a marine, but.
A lot of my challenges.
Are there are people out here that try to pull on the heartstrings of the public?
To where they they will immediately put up a go fund me. They will immediately start saying I need some money. You know, we need to do this. Need to do that and you know, and people will literally pour into you. And when I start getting cases like that, now I look at, I look at every case with a side.
I start dissecting the entire case. I want to make sure that you're not going to tell me a story that's not real, just like the case with the young lady that that was Carly Russell. We started with when we first got that story immediately and, you know, and I even got the recordings immediately, I said.
Something ain't right about this, and it's not true.
And I had everybody and their Mama coming after me.
Y'all you just just to.
You know, blah, blah, blah and I'm like.
Whatever, it's not.
True, then, when it came out that it was because I started dissecting and I I I have access, you know, a lot of people can do it. But being a contractor, I have access to a lot of the highway cameras. So I went back to that date.
And I started looking and that's when I started pulling it. Fold it down. I enhanced it and everything and I said.
No, not none of that stuff happened. And then the police, they actually picked it up. They asked if they have that video. Yeah, you can have it, you know, and news stations and all that and found out it wasn't true. So a lot of the challenges are one people telling stories that are not true. And, you know, we running it and we could be doing more important things by finding those that are truly lost.
Finding those that have been trafficked, things like that, but you're taking up our time with these stories here.
Another one of our challenges is we have some families that do reach out and.
Ask for help.
Can we help them finding their, you know, their their loved one or if we can dig down to the truth of finding what happened to their to their family member, you know that they know we're.
Going to dig.
But the big challenge of that is sometimes the family will cause a whole bunch of drama. It'll be like toxic, and I don't deal with that one thing I want to say about us at being in and myself, Prophet, PL. TikTok, we don't do this to get my.
We do this because it's a passion, you know, we don't get paid off of this stuff. You know, we we get donations, things like that, but we don't get paid for this stuff. We we doing it because it's a passion to us and we get some people that come in there and say, oh, you're just trying to get clout, you know, off my family or whatever. Immediately I'm the type person.
Where I will cut you off from like, you know what? Find somebody else to run this story and then they'll find out nobody else wants to run that. They said if profit PI's not running it, I'm.
Not gonna run it. You know that they know something is wrong with it. So those are some of the challenges that we have, you know.
Either people are.
Lying and trying to get sympathy and trying to pull money, you know from the public or there's a lot of drama tied to the entire thing. Like there's a young lady that's missing right now and we got involved in it. And then when we started seeing all the drama with the mother.
The sister and some of the family. And it was bickering back and forth. And I mean, just a lot of stuff. I left the case alone. That's why I've just been silent about it. People asking me update, update, update. And like knowing no update, you know, but then there's some cases where.
You know, we have to come forward with what we found. Like there's one case with the the Father and his young daughter that was found that was supposedly passed away from hypothermia. But as we started doing digging, his family has reached out friends of his have reached out.
Even one of the homeowners that live in.
That area reach.
Out to me and some of the stuff I haven't even released yet, but come to find out, you know it it's deeper than.
That.
It's it's. It's so deep to where you know the wife is involved, you know, and there's a third party and it's it's real deep, you know, and those are those cases like that that they can get trying to.
You.
Some of the other challenges.
Or.
You heard about the Rankin, Mississippi police officers. They had to plead guilty for what they did to a young man. My Michael Cory Jenkins. Yeah, well, some of the people down there reached out to me and I ran that story the next day when I found out about it right after it happened, I ran the story. They couldn't get into the hospital.
The police were.
Blocking them and all this stuff, right? So when I ran the story, it started picking up. People were reaching out and and an attorney reached out to me along with a private investigator and then some, a couple of other advocates. So we had advocates also that drove down to Mississippi.
And we got got the parents into the hospital. We we got we snuck pictures there was because the police were trying to hide it. And after we ran the story and it caught so much traction. One of the police officers who wasn't named he wasn't named at all but he was there.
Because he took a plea deal and and that's something that the public doesn't know. But he took a plea deal, but he reached out and he sent us the body Cam footage of what happened, even though they tried to say there.
There's none. There was body Cam footage. That's why it was so easy for them to go in there. Cause people are like, well, why did they plead? If there's no evidence, you know, there was plenty of evidence. It was on tape we sent.
That to the.
DOJ and the FBI, we didn't send it to the sheriff because.
He probably would have destroyed.
It but but we sent it to them. That's why they played out state.
Total charges and stuff. So we were responsible for that. But on the downside of that is a lot of stories that we do. And if you see my TikTok, a lot of stories that we do that we dig so much in, we get threats.
You know, we get people that try to shut us down. We get our pages reported a lot, you know, and there's many times we have to go in and and get them restored. And all this stuff, you know, but those are the a lot of the challenges that we deal with.
Yeah. Well, I mean, when you when you got people who were trying to shut it down, that means you get you're you're getting out there, you're being heard. You're getting the word out there so that.
Actually someone told me when I started podcasting, it's like if you get your first show, that means you're you're doing.
Something you know what I mean?
So keep doing what you're doing. You guys, you are. You are an amazing person. It's just awesome to to speak with you because you just have so much. I can see it. Like when you talk, it's about passion. It's about looking for that.
And I don't see myself benefiting off of someone else's grief. That's how.
I see it.
Well, you know, I mean, there's a couple of things I can say. You know there there's been many times when you know you.
Know they have.
These rewards for.
Mm-hmm.
Helping them arrest people and all.
This.
Stuff. We turn them down every time.
We turn them down every time, whether it's I don't care if it's $1.00, you know, but there's been rewards up to 50,000 and we turn it down.
Was like we just want to get justice and then, you know, they'll they'll say, wait a minute. You know, I've never really heard of this, you know, but thank you. Because currently right now with the missing 6 out of Missouri, we're currently working with law enforcement and we're working with the FBI. I don't like police and just tell you that now. But the thing about it is.
Working with them because they they told me. Look, we need your expertise because you wanted that you you found these people. We want to know how you did it. We want to understand about this, this group, this cult. And they said they've never really heard of this stuff.
Four. And once they started getting into it, information that I've been sending them and then there's a couple other people sending them stuff regarding how these cults work, and because these cults deal with trafficking. So 85% of people missing, they are part of these cults and it goes all the way back to.
Malachi Z, Dwight York it goes all the way back to Royal Jenkins and Nature Boy, you know Rashad Jamal, all them. It goes all the way back to, you know, a lot.
Them and the FBI. I've been, you know, talking to them and and dealing with the major.
Over there, the.
Detective and just schooling them on what these groups do, you know. And now what they're they're they're doing is and they they want to invite me. I'm like, I don't.
Know.
But they want to invite me because they're trying to get all law enforcement.
Around the United States.
Involved. They want to get them trained, they want to get them up to speed, they want them to be able to have a certain unit to where they do nothing but study these coats and then they can solve a lot of these missing persons and trafficking because they, you know, they even asked me, you know, why are you so passionate about this? I said, well, first of all.
If you look at the statistics in 2021, there was over 190,000 missing people.
Black and brown people that are missing 190,000. And when you look at that, over half of them are children and women.
And nobody's talking about it. Just like I just did a case a couple of days ago of a young lady who's been missing since January the 9th, a 13 year old. She's been missing since January the 9th, and we're just now hearing about it and these parents, when I talked to them, they're saying, hey, we're we're having to go down there. We're having to fuss at them. We're having to.
You know, call them every day in order to get my child on a Amber Alert. You know? And I'm like, it's not.
Because anybody else, they're going to put it out there the same day, you know, only if you see my other cases where the two women went to Jamaica, then the other girl who who lived in Texas and called herself said that she was kidnapped by a Hispanic guy and somebody sent me the case they sent it to me. And I'm like, I'm not running that cause.
Mine, you know, and they were like, no, she's not like, yes, she is. She's lying. And lo.
And behold.
You know it's it's coming out more and more that she's lying. But then I look at us and I'm like.
Wait a minute.
Why are you not taking our people serious? You know, if you look at the indigenous people on on their, on their tribal land, there's a lot of them that are missing. There's a lot of trafficking going on. You look in our communities. Inner city kids are missing every single day. North Carolina.
I just looked it up within the past two weeks, there have been over 30 cases of missing teenagers.
Black and brown teenagers that are that are missing, and I'm like, why have we not heard about this on the news? So the blessing is with social media and podcasts like yours, you know, and and many others. We can get the word out there.
We can get it out there because we're going to force everybody to hear what we have to.
Say and that's what I like about social media. We're going to put it out there. Our voices are being heard. People are like, you know what? Your stuff comes down my timeline all the time, you know? And then that's what makes and the kids, the kids and the some of the ones that are missing or have ran away. It comes right across their page. They're like, wait a minute, you know, hey, I need to reach out to this guy.
You know, so that's why our voices are very important. We gotta keep crying aloud. We gotta keep speaking out so we can find our our people, you know, let.
Them know that we're there.
Exactly.
Very true. Very true strong words. Absolutely. I was actually going to ask you about because I know we were talking about UM, some of the cases that are not bringing the attention that you know, sometimes some, sometimes not. And I just did like an episode specifically on the Ebony alert.
That just became effective on January 1st of this.
Here and I talked about some of the stories that were successful and some some that are still out there missing that ironically are one of the last. I think there was only from what I understand at this point there's been 3 Ebony alerts. There might be more like you say, sometimes we don't get them across our page.
Sometimes we do.
But yeah, there's one that did. The first one was originally they did find her. The other two are still missing. So, I mean, what are your thoughts? What are your ideas about that? Is that beneficial or do you think this?
Is probably too much.
In regards to why they're pushing for the Ebony alert, and I know on the episode there's like four other states are trying to make this as an Ebony alert for their states as well. Texas for being one of them. So.
So.
Well, that's surprising with Texas to me, it's a good thing and a bad thing. Even though you know it's, you know, Ebony alert is is, is is focusing more towards you know the black and.
The brown people.
You're separating. You know you and and it's almost like division. And when you do these Ebony alerts.
Instead of a standard Amber Alert like they do for the children, you're you're you're differentiating them, you're separating them, you know, and most people are not going to pay attention to that.
The same way that they're not paying attention now, you know, I'm saying. But you know, if an enroller comes out and you getting that out there, you know and hitting the phones and and and TV waves and all that stuff, people are more out to pay attention. But on the good sense of it it's it's alerting people to let them know, hey, you know there's, you know, little chocolate kid running around here.
That's that's lost. You know, we're looking for them and.
That right there, you know, bring it it it it will bring attention to some. You know I'm saying but like I said, not all I'd love to get more into that that way.
That way you know when we put these call to.
Actions.
Out, you know, and with the Ebony alert it's it's it's going to, I guess get more traction, that's what it needs more traction. I'm I'm surprised that Texas is actually you know want to implement that I'm really surprised.
Yeah, it's. He was just shocked to me when I was doing my research. It was like, wait, did I see this right? Because I know for sure texting would be probably the one of the last southern states that I would do that, but I'm glad they're actually acknowledging that that's one of the things that they're trying.
To put in the works.
Don't know when it's going to happen. Hopefully it passes, but I also like to play like Devil's Advocate cause I think there was even one when I was doing the research in regards to Ebony alert. There was a lot of things that kind of came.
Out.
Of it? Like why Ebony? Why?
The word Ebony you.
And like you said, you know, trying to separate us and trying to in a sense segregating it's sort of like a segregating label, but also as a devil advocate. It's like we're trying to emphasize a disproportionate community to bring stronger awareness of the missing.
Children, girls that don't fall under the particular policy and procedure of what? An Amber Alert.
Has to be approved on lot of these kids are falling through the cracks as runaway Amber Alert is not used for runaways.
Right.
Right.
Right.
And like for example like the feather alert, that's the whole this whole concept as well, like for example like that like why do you have to differentiate between people of color and you know the non colored community because we.
Have to it's sad. We have to get to a point where we have to clarify. Hey, these children also are important to our society, our community, our, their families. They're not just like, oh, they're just running away or oh, wait 72 hours, you know? Oh, they'll come back or they're they're out partying.
So they'll come back on Monday after the weekend is over. No, you need to show the same importance as.
Blonde hair, blue eyed person goes missing or pretends that they went missing and you know like the scenario that of of the woman who was supposedly like kidnapped and so forth. I feel very sorry and sad that people have to go lynx.
To look for attention and they looking for attention.
That takes attention off the people who really need that attention. So I just wanted to put my two cents in. I just.
Right.
Didn't know where you.
Were at, but we could continue on with our questions. I just, I just thought that was like something we should.
Bring.
Up dealing with missing person cases can be emotionally challenging.
You know you have a personal connection and the reason why.
I you it's more passion involved searching and providing the TikTok videos and updates and so forth. How do you prioritize self-care and maintain resilience when faced with difficult circumstances or setbacks in your efforts? And can you give an example of a situation where self.
There played a crucial role in your advocacy work.
Yeah. Let me put it like this.
Black and brown people have gone through.
The most traumatic stuff.
And.
When people who are not like us.
Go through it.
They can go to the smallest thing I had. I had a guy one time said that he had to check into a mental institution because his lights got cut off.
And I'm looking at him like, wait a minute. I had to scratch my head. Did.
You say that he. What? What and?
I said, you know, that is nothing compared to what we have to deal with. You know, I I got some friends that, you know we, you know, we sit down and talk. You know, they're they're they're not black and and they want to understand what we go through. You know, they want to understand our community, you know, and we we give them the real and.
I let them know.
We from childhood we we deal with so much trauma, we deal with so much stuff, you know where.
I would say 98% of black and brown people have, you know, they have some type of PTSD because of what we deal with, you know, from home life, you know, to where the struggles come in. You know, all the different things that we deal with on a daily basis, you know, even walking out the door.
You know, hopefully we make it to where we're going and then hopefully we make it back. You know, if it's not law enforcement, it's our own community, you know, so we've dealt with a lot of stuff, you know, coming up as children and and and it's sad we should.
You have to, but that's what we go through, you know, so dealing with a lot of the cases that I that that I do when it when it's adults, I can handle it.
A whole lot.
Better, you know, cause I I'm approaching it with a tough love type attitude that marine attitude. But when it's children it really takes a toll on me, especially when I get deep.
Into it, you know.
And I feel like that child belongs to me, you know? And and it takes a big toe. And then there's times I have to at least take a couple of days to where I don't, you know, I'll probably scroll videos or whatever, but I take those times to myself in order to keep my sanity.
Because it angers me like 1 case I did. You know, a young father and his friend on alive his his own baby girl, you know, because he was mad at the mother because she was dating somebody else because they broke.
Up.
So he took it to the extreme. You know where?
Last year he he stabbed there several times.
And then and then this time, you know, he he analysed his baby.
And and it took a big toll. I'm sitting, I'm looking at this case and I'm talking to the family, and then I'm. I'm talking to the the mother of the victim, you know. And I'm just hearing this pain, you know, sometimes I do interviews with them, you know, but I hear this pain in their voice, you know. But when it deals, when it deals.
With these young people.
It breaks my heart because.
They shouldn't have to go through this. These young boys that are out here smelling themselves and they want to run in the game and and they don't know what to getting into these young girls out here being tricked by these dusty dudes that are sitting up here telling them all these lies in order to get their pocketbook, you know, and and it's just it racks my brain. But I literally take a couple of days.
For myself, that's why sometimes I take the weekend off right now. Currently sitting in my e-mail and my e-mail inbox. So I got several of them. I probably have no less than 800 stories.
Of.
What's gonna happen to a kid? You know, if they're missing, or if they they run away or they've been on the live or anything like that, you know? And I got all these stories and I I'm trying to cycle them through, cause some of them. I'll look at them and I won't do them because I know that it'll take a big toll on me. So I won't do it at all and I'll pass it on to somebody else to do that like.
Couple of young ladies on TikTok, Draco and and crimes covered by Chris. I'll pass that we share stuff a lot so I'll share stuff with them or sometimes I share with the BN.
And tell them to run it. Sometimes they won't run it. They're like, no, I can't.
Do that you.
Know because I'm not that strong, you know, in order to be able to handle that mentally. But yeah, I take a lot of time to myself, you know, maybe the weekend sometimes during the week, I'll just take a couple of days off just to reflect. I'll go out there and play with the chickens or, you know.
Me and my little girl and my wife will.
We'll sit back and you know, we'll probably find something to do, you know, in order to take.
My mind off of that.
I'm glad that you're doing.
Not that many men get the opportunity or or or think.
That they need.
That break that self-care and they neglect themselves, you know, it's imperative that you do that. I'm glad that you are not that many men.
Who will take the initiative to doing that? Because being a person of color, we have to deal with generational trauma. You know, that's in our DNA. Like literally, we've dealt with trauma from generations and centuries of.
You know, being dismissed and being erased of our identity, our ancestors had to go through them being lynched, being burned alive. You know, being raped by multiple people, you know, being forced into slavery.
On many levels, and that's still, that's the another label for human trafficking. That's just another label for slavery being coerced into doing something for someone being groomed by someone, using their body for someone. It's another thing that we have to struggle with and that it's.
And I'm glad that you take that moment for doing that. You know, self-care is a must. We got to push for that. Especially thank you for sharing that. Talking about some of the stories, you know that you like to collaborate with or pass along to other persons who are Tik tokers, who just volunteering to assist you. But can you tell me if there's any stories that you would like to share?
That just isn't getting the kind of recognition that it deserves or.
Do you have anything like that?
Yeah.
Uh, yeah. One well is that it's actually 2 cases. One is the Corey Danielle case. And you know, if anybody goes to my tick tock, they'll see a folder up there that says Corey Daniely. We're still looking for him. We're trying to get the police more involved. We did find out that one of the people that's involved in this whole thing.
He has a family of police officers and they're known for covering stuff up.
So the Cory Danielle case, that one right there, you know, he, he he disappeared on the mysterious circumstances with this friend so-called friend the friend nobody knew anything about it until the friend was actually posting on Cory down at his page. He had Corey's phone. He had his clothes, his backpack.
He asked his mother to wash Corey's clothes. You know, this is after the fact, after him missing and everything and and nobody can find him. Nobody can locate him, you know, and and just too many stories. The guy is actually, his name is Zach. He. He ended up running to Hawaii.
Hey, you've been questioned but.
The police, they're dragging their feet. This guy has actually gone to Hawaii. He's over there now. But now the people over there, I have family over there. We have Polynesian in our family and I've reached out to them. They they watch my stories and I told them you need to watch out for this guy and you know, but the Cory Daniel case because they, like I said.
It led to.
Revealing three other.
People that are missing the same way, Michael Bryson, he's been missing for over four or five years now, but Corey Daniel was in that circle. Another guy. His name is. I forgot his name. But there's a couple of other people. And so we're we're trying to push that story, get more recognition on it.
Another one is his name was Cordell.
I forgot his last name. But Cordell?
In Florida.
He was found stronger by his.
And they they eat meat. Well, actually, there's like 10 of them. But I'm not gonna go into all of those. But Cordell was strung up by his neck. They detected immediately as soon as he walked.
In.
He didn't investigate the case. He just walked in and said that this is self-inflicted.
I mean immediately, just like they did. Nona. Nona Lubrin down in Florida, just like they did another young.
Man, I forgot his name, but I did his story. He was found. We actually think his girlfriend in in some other people involved in that, but he was found in a parking lot or near a parking lot in a tree and his his hands were zip tied together.
But the detective did the same thing. This another detective, the same thing he said that, that, that he did this on his own.
And we're like, no way. So now we're putting pressure on him and it just it just needs to get out there to where because we got so many details of the story we got, we got suspects, all kinds of like we got a timeline of events and it's too much evidence for them to try to rule this self-inflicted.
You know it's it's just too much. So we're trying to get more national attention, you know, I mean, it's already across seas. I'm like, if they're talking about this across seas, why are we not talking about it over here? Because we don't string ourselves up like.
We don't do that. You know, we we're going to take any other kind of way out, but we're not going to do that. And you know, especially looking at the circumstances and stuff, you know, something is not right. But we have found that a lot of people that are tied to the case have family and law enforcement. And I said, ah, so we need to expose that and that. And I'm the type where I'm.
Going to call it out.
You know, I don't care who you are. I'm gonna call it.
Out police chief.
Mayor, whoever you know.
And then when you start putting pressure on him like that, then they have no choice but to properly investigate it you.
Know I'm saying.
So.
But yeah, those are the cases right there and I'd be glad to send send it to cause.
You know.
They need to get out there. They really do.
Absolutely. Speaking of contact information, how are people able to follow you on what platforms that I could probably give to the listeners in the show notes?
On TikTok, it's profit Pi yeah, or Prophet Rubin MREUBEN and then the letter M on Facebook. It's a prophet Rubin Mitchell. You'll you'll see that on there. And then I have Instagram and it's under Prophet Reuben on our YouTube.
We have, it's called BNN, under score uncut. It's the black. It's actually BBN. It's black and brown news network because we we covered those those type of stories. People get mad at me sometimes. We're like, you know, well the other people, they get mad at us because like, why you don't cover this right here? Because I don't want to, you know.
Because we need recognition, we need to get stuff out there about our people, you know? So, but yeah, we have BNN, under score uncut on YouTube. And, you know, we, we we get ready.
To work on.
We're working on right now currently coming up with our own platform similar to TikTok, but it's going to be our own platform to where we're not censored. Cause right now we're censored on there. You know this you know we, we gotta say unalive if it's us, we gotta say unalive we gotta make up these different words and stuff, right. But other people get to say the actual words, you know, I'm saying they get to do their thing.
So I want to make a safe.
Place for all people.
To where you know you can speak that truth, you know, and get it out there and stuff. But it. But it's going to be a safe place to where we're not to worry about, you know, anything, any, any type.
Of racism, anything like that, you know?
I'm saying, but we we really need it, I.
Remember when? What was?
It I think it was called.
I think I know what you remember, Black planet.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, I was. I was about to say.
You know this?
Was was. I was hoping that it just reached this, its potential and its peak and everything, but they gave up too fast, you know, so.
I'm like, you know.
What?
I want to tap into that you know and then put a team together and we go in.
There we can actually do.
Our own to where we're able to get stories like this out. You know, the podcast or, you know, streaming and and people are actually able to voice their talents. You know, I'm saying voice their talents and, you know, to do what they need.
To do you know.
So yeah.
Keep me in the loop on that one, cause that would be awesome. That would be so awesome. I will be sharing the crap out of.
That.
That's for sure. Thank you so much. I don't know if you have any questions for me.
No, actually, you know I want to encourage you to keep doing what you're doing. Your voice is bigger than you think, alright?
