mona s boyfriend hadn t filed a flight plan, so the plane could be anywhere. rugged territory? correct, up in the badlands area, we assumed. or nebraska. we really had no clue. but in south dakota, lou castro, a former navy plea mechanic, was on it. when lisa paid a short visit to try to help find her sister and niece, lou was in constant touch with search and rescue. a huge comfort. softspoken. nice. funny. friendly. he seemed very concerned. very distraught over mona and lindsey s disappearance. and very helpful. i mean, he was very gracious and whatever we wanted. so, thank goodness we have lou at the helm here? exactly. he seemed to have plenty of time. he seemed to know everybody. they knew him. we were grateful that there was
sisters and her brother, lou. we re like, where did we pick up a brother? later, as emily recalled the awful story of the plane crash, she, to, remembered lou telling her what he told cody. he said that lindsey was a supposed. i whatever that meant in 2003 after trish in s the swimming pool, emily and her sister sara were the only ones trying to make sense of it all. a local detective in wichita was also taking an interest in the plane crash and the death of trish hughes. and in whatever else might be going on at angel s landing. something was an adding up. coming up one thing was adding up, the death toll of commune members. another was just around the corner. we got the call that he d been crushed underneath the car that he was fixing. when dateline continues. ne continues pain? yeah. here. aspercreme with max-strength lidocaine. works fast and lasts.
somebody that was had taken control. and was keeping us in the loop also. at a gathering of lindsey s school friends in support of the search, lou seemed especially popular with all the girls. oh, they were mesmerized by him. was he telling them stories? jokes? yes, laughing. he knew them all. quite well, we could tell. was there something a little creepy about it? i don t want to plant an idea here that didn t exist. they all knew lou but they didn t know lindsey s mom. i just found that strange. six weeks after the plane went missing, lisa and cody got the news they were dreading. the wreckage had been found. there were no survivors. so that s and of all of this? it s not going to have a miraculous ending. yes. cody traveled back to rapid city and once again saw lou, who seemed distraught. he starts crying and he tells me that my little sister was never supposed to be on the
lou castro at angels landing. a commune of about a dozen people. he was also keeping count of the mysterious deaths, five so far. mona, her boyfriend and her daughter lindsey had perished in the plane crash. he trish had drowned in the swing pool. i know brian had been crushed to death beneath a car he was working on. and while all the deaths were deemed to be accidents, really, he wondered, how could any family be so unlucky? but what baffled him most was that he didn t know who the central man, lou castro, really was. rifling through angel s landing trash cans had more. what do you do next? one day, when i was out on a day off, i just happened to see lou castro with a female in a vehicle. and i followed them to a restaurant on the north end of town. goodwyn sec goodwyn sat in the restaurant watched and waited. and after they had finished, i contacted the manager and asked him if i could collect
how did you find out about the plane? my dad called me inside and he just looked at me and i knew something wasn t right. and then he just told me hey, your mom and sister have a missing. your dad must have been all ripped up? there s nothing you can say. i mean, he didn t there was no way that he could explain to his son that his sister and his mom were gone. i imagine you hope that somebody would crawl out of the wreckage, food, water and they re in a little tent waiting for search and rescue to find them. that was the only thing i could pray for. as cody was praying for a miracle, mona s sister lisa also got a phone call from another sister. and she s crying hysterically. and she said that mona and lindsey had left on the plane and the plane had never reached its destination. and they didn t know where it was.
