The Haunting Disappearances and Murders Of The Bakersfield 3 Pt. 1 Micah HolsonBake

It started with Micah Holsonbake.

Micah Blaine Holsonbake was a jokester and was always quick to say what was on his mind.

He was a shoulder to cry on and the life of the party.

“Micah was also extremely loyal,” he said. “He would go to bat for anybody he cared for. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was genuine and caring, always helpful and kind.”

said Scott Haagensen, who was a youth minister at the church in the late 1990s when Holsonbake was part of his youth group.

Jackie Chase, who was a member of Holsonbake’s youth group who became a close friend with him said,

“He just had this aura about him that you knew he loved you,” she said. “Even on his darkest days, regardless of what he was going through, he would tell you how much you were loved and make sure you knew it.

“He wanted you to have the best life, and he wanted you to be happy,” she said. “What I want you to do when you leave here is don’t be sad, because he wouldn’t want that. He would want you to know that you are loved.”

Micah Holsonbake was 35 years old when he was last seen on March 23, 2018, in the area of Flower Street and Mount Vernon Avenue in East Bakersfield, California.

A year before he disappeared, Micah had been laid off from his job at a local bank after going on disability leave related to depression.

He met new friends, the kind he didn't normally associate with, and went to bars and other places he never have went to before.

Micah told his family that he had been threatened and feared for his safety. At the time, Micah's family thought that maybe he just was paranoid.

Looking back, Cheryl believes her son was telling the truth. She has learned her son sold small amounts of drugs, possibly to support a habit.

“My mom instinct is that he found himself in over his head,” she said. “And kept himself in that situation because he was afraid for his family, because he felt like he would be hurt if he didn’t.”

The last time Cheryl saw Micah, she dropped him off in a bad neighborhood near Kern Medical Center. She said something felt off and she tried to convince him to go to dinner, but he refused and she drove away.

Micah Holsonbake had called his mother, Cheryl, the morning of March 17, 2018, asking her to help him pay for a hotel room for a friend. Cheryl didn’t have the money for the room and an argument ensued, so she hung up on him.

"He was upset at me that I didn’t care. It was kind of a manipulative anger,” Cheryl said. “And I wasn’t in the mood to go there, so I didn’t. So yeah. I’ve regretted it. I still wouldn’t have had the money to do it, but I still regret hanging up on him.”

That was the last time Cheryl heard from her son.

Two weeks later she filed a missing person's report, after she didn't hear anything back from police.

A month after Micah was last seen, Cheryl received a call from Diane Byrne. She said her son, James Kulstad, had been killed a few weeks earlier, and it appeared that their children had many mutual friends.

Was MH370 Downed to Prevent Repeat of 9/11?

It's been almost five years since Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared over the South China Sea with 239 people on board. Two massive search operations yielded no results.

Noel O'Gara, an Irish writer who has spent years hunting MH370, claims that the plane's disappearance has to do with the Malaysian military panicking about the pilot's potential suicide plan.  O'Gara alleges that the military was scared by the Boeing veering off course in what could be an attempt to fly back to Kuala Lumpur and target the Petronas Towers.

Allegedly the then Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was made aware of the change of course and a military fighter jet was scrambled to intercept MH370 and fired a warning shot at the plane. Instead of alerting the airliner, the military aircraft is thought to have accidentally shot it down.

The initial search was conducted in a relatively small area. A week after the plane's disappearance Razak ordered the search to include a much larger area, quoting a credible source as saying that the plane made a turn back. O'Gara believes the delay helped authorities cover up the military's accidental downing of the plane.

The plane ascended to 45,000 feet, which is well above cruising altitude. O'Gara claims that this is evidence of a violent struggle for control of the plane by hijackers.

Was The Missing MH370 Pilot's Brain Starved Of Oxygen?

Christine Negroni believes the pilot of Flight M370, Zaharie Ahmad Shah was on the toilet when the plan depressurized, leaving co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.

She claims that Hamid then made a string of bizarre decisions because his brain was starved of oxygen.

She says that we only need to study the plane's route to understand why.

According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, MH370 turned west above the South China Sea before flying across the Malaysia Peninsula.

Then they say it turned left again towards the Indian Ocean west of Australia and crashed after running out of fuel and they don't know why.

Negroni believes the Boeing 777-200 was depressurized around the time it lost contact 38 minutes into the flight due to an electrical failure. The depressurization led Hamid to suffer from Hypoxia. Hypoxia is a known factor in pilots not doing what they are trained to do or doing something that does not make sense.

Negroni says that Shah not being in the cockpit is speculation, but she thinks that if Shah would have been there, that Hamid might have not got overwhelmed like she thinks he did. 

Negroni stated,

“I just sense that had two people been in the cockpit, especially the more experienced of the two, it might not have turned that way.”

Police officers involved in the investigation to locate missing Madeleine McCann were secretly investigated for alleged misconduct.

Madeleine McCann was three-years-old when she went missing from her parents holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007, while with her parents Gerry and Kate McCann.

An investigation into her disappearance by Scotland Yard is still ongoing.

Now it turns out that three police officers involved in the investigation were secretly being investigated for neglect or failure in their duty while working on the extensive investigation.

Two of the allegations not upheld and the other was withdrawn.

Nurse Expected To Plead Guilty To Evidence Tampering In The Missing Kelsey Berreth Case.

Krystal Lee, 32, a nurse from Twin Falls, Idaho, is scheduled to appear in a Colorado courtroom this week to enter a guilty plea deal in connection to the case of missing Colorado mother and flight instructor Kelsey Berreth. She is facing allegations she may have disposed of evidence.

Lee had been employed as a nurse at St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls, Idaho, but she no longer works there.

Lee has a court date set for Friday, Feb. 8, in Teller County, Colorado.

The person Lee supposedly disposed of evidence for, Patrick Frazee, was arrested in December and charged with Berreth's murder and three counts of solicitation to commit murder. He has not entered a plea.

Police said they believe Berreth was killed in her town home, and that Frazee was the last person to see her.

According to two family members, Lee said she only helped Frazee because he threatened her life.

Berreth was last seen Thanksgiving Day, shopping with the couple's 1-year-old daughter, Kaylee, at a Woodland Park, Colorado, supermarket. Three days after Berreth vanished, investigators said her cell phone signal was detected in Idaho. 

Lee's exact relationship to Frazee and her alleged role in the case aren't known, but law enforcement suspect Lee driving Berreth's phone to Idaho in an attempt to dispose of it.

Berreth's body has yet to be found.

Area 51, and the Roswell UFO Incident.

Even though Area 51 was known for it's nuclear testing, it's main claim to fame is an alleged extraterrestrial technology research site.

It all started on June 14th, 1947, when a ranch foreman named W.W. “Mac” Brazel and his son Vernon were driving across Foster homestead, some 80 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, when they encountered something they’d never seen before. Brazel’s said it was “a large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, and rather tough paper, and sticks.”

The metallic-looking, lightweight fabric was scattered, shredded across the gravel and sagebrush of the New Mexico desert. 

👽

Brazel paid little attention to the newfound items, but on July 4th he returned with his with Vernon, his wife and his 14 year-old daughter Betty and collected all of the mysterious wreckage he could find. 

On July 7, he drove it all to Roswell, delivering the goods to Sheriff George Wilcox.

Seeking answers, Wilcox contacted Colonel “Butch” Blanchard, commander of the Roswell Army Airfield’s 509th Composite Group, located just outside of town. Blanchard decided to contact his superior, General Roger W. Ramey, commander of the 8th Air Force in Fort Worth, Texas.

Blanchard also sent Major Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer from the base, to investigate more thoroughly.

👾

Accompanied by the sheriff and Brazel, Marcel returned to the site and collected the rest of the wreckage.

"[We] spent a couple of hours Monday afternoon [July 7] looking for any more parts of the weather device", said Marcel. "We found a few more patches of tinfoil and rubber.

On July 8, 1947, Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) public information officer Walter Haut issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Operations Group had recovered a "flying disc", which had crashed on a ranch near Roswell. 

The body of the story contained this memorable sentence: 

“The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment Group at Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the field has come into the possession of a Flying Saucer.”

The U.S. military claimed the unidentified object that crashed was just a weather balloon and it's "kite", while conspiracy theorists insisted it was an alien spacecraft and was then taken from the Roswell ranch property to Area 51 for reverse-engineering. It also was thought that perhaps there was a large-eyed alien "gray"  dwelling inside?

Between 1978 and the early 1990's, UFO researchers and the team of Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt interviewed several hundred people who claimed to have had a connection with the events at Roswell in 1947. Hundreds of documents were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, along with other documents such as Majestic 12, an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft, that were supposedly leaked by insiders. Their conclusions were at least one alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell, alien bodies had been recovered, and a government cover-up of the incident had taken place.

In 1978, nuclear physicist and author Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Jesse Marcel to Fort Worth where reporters saw material which was claimed to be part of the recovered object. The accounts given by Friedman helped elevated Roswell from a forgotten incident to perhaps the most famous UFO case of all time.

The narrative that Charles Berlitz and William Moore, famous authors of  the first conspiracy book about Roswell,The Roswell Incident (1980), put forward is that an alien craft was flying over the New Mexico desert observing US nuclear weapons activity, but crashed after being hit by lightning, killing the aliens on board; a government cover-up duly followed. 

Charles and William claimed to have interviewed over ninety witnesses. Unaccredited, Friedman carried out some research for the book. The Roswell Incident featured accounts of debris described by Marcel as "nothing made on this earth." In the book,  the contention is that debris that were recovered by Marcel at the ranch, visible in photographs showing Marcel posing with the debris, was substituted for debris from a weather device as part of a cover-up and that no close inspection by the press was permitted.

The efforts by the military were described as being intended to discredit and "counteract the growing hysteria towards flying saucers". Two accounts of witness intimidation, including the incarceration of Mac Brazel was included in the book along with the introduction of the the secondhand stories of civil engineer Barney Barnett and a group of archaeology students from an unidentified university seeing alien wreckage and bodies while in the desert.

In 1991, Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt published UFO Crash at Roswell. They added 100 new witnesses and they included several "sinister" new twists, such as accounts of a "gouge ... that extended four or five hundred feet" at the ranch and a new account, of Brazel that was described as leading the Army to a second crash site on the ranch. When they got there, the Army personnel were supposedly "horrified to find civilians [including Barnett] there already."

Glenn Dennis was a supposedly important witness in 1989, after calling the hotline when an episode of Unsolved Mysteries featured the Roswell incident. He was first to describe alien autopsies at the Roswell Army Air Base.

👽

In 1992, Stanton Friedman came out with his own book Crash at Corona, co-authored with Don Berliner, an author of books on space and aviation. Friedman introduced new "witnesses", and claimed that their were two flying saucers and eight aliens, two of which were said to have survived and been taken by the government.

The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell (1994), by Randle and Schmitt, added several new details, including the claim that alien bodies were taken by cargo plane to be viewed by Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The Day After Roswell (1997), former Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso's autobiographical book, claimed that the Roswell Crash did happen and that when he was assigned to Fort Riley (Kansas) in July 1947. That 5 trucks of 25 tons and some semi trailers entered the base from Fort Bliss Texas. He said while he was patrolling the base he was brought into the medical facilities by Sgt. Brown and shown the remnants of bodies that were from an "air crash". 

👾

In September 1994, the Air Force released a report with a stating the wreckage was an atomic monitoring balloon meant to detect far-off nuclear testing blasts as a part of a military surveillance program called Project Mogul. 

In 1997, government reports said that the recovered alien bodies were likely a combination of innocently transformed memories of accidents involving military casualties with memories of the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military programs such as the 1950s Operation High Dive. 

American journalist Annie Jacobsen published a book in 2011 called Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base. It is based on interviews with scientists and engineers who worked in Area 51.  In her book she quotes one unnamed source as claiming that Josef Mengele, a German Schutzstaffel officer and a physician in Auschwitz who was recruited by the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Stalin wanted him to produce "grotesque, child-size aviators" to be remotely piloted and landed in America in order to cause hysteria. The aircraft, however, crashed and the incident was hushed up by the Americans. The bodies found at the crash site were children around 12 years old with large heads and abnormally-shaped, oversized eyes. They were human guinea pigs.

Mollie Tibbett's Killer Has a New Trial Date.

Mollie Tibbett's disappeared on July 18, 2018, while jogging near her home in Brooklyn, Iowa. After a month-long search, police identified 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera as a suspect using surveillance camera footage that showed his car following her on her jog. He led police to her body in a Poweshiek County cornfield on August 21 and was charged with first-degree murder.

The trial has been set for September 3rd of this year at 9 a.m. at the Poweshiek County Courthouse in Montezuma. Rivera's attorneys said they needed more time to review material before trial, which had initially been scheduled for April.

Did Robert Kardashian Hatch A Plot To Murder OJ. Simpson's Ex Wife, Nicole Brown Simpson?

RadarOnline.com supposedly uncovered evidence that has been buried for 25 years, including legal documents tying the would-be killer and drug dealer, Bill Wasz, to Robert Kardashian.

Months before Nicole and Goldman were found murdered outside of Nicole's condominium, Robert, the late father of reality TV sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloé, allegedly hired an unemployed 31-year-old cocaine dealer and career criminal, Bill Wasz, to take Nicole out.

Robert was O.J.’s best bud and closest confidant throughout his infamous trial. He even reactivated his law license to get client-attorney privilege and carried O.J.’s suit to court every day.

Robert was so loyal to O.J. that Robert sneaked that garment bag, which a lot of people have speculated it contained the murder weapon, out of his house.

Wasz claimed the scheme to wack Nicole began to unfold in January, 1994, when Kardashian paid him $1,000 to spy on Nicole and take pictures of any men she met. Wasz took pictures of Nicole kissing O.J.’s pal, retired NFL player Marcus Allen, on January 6th and 7th, 1994, in a restaurant parking lot in Encino, California. Waz gave two rolls of undeveloped film to the Rob.

When Rob showed the pictures to O.J., he flipped out.

Wasz claims that , “He told me O.J. went ballistic. Robert said, ‘That bitch Nicole is costing O.J. $35,000 a month. She’s the mother of his kids and she’s still [having sex] with everybody. I want her gone, a bullet to the head.’ ”

Wasz said that Robert offered him $15,000 to carry out a bizarre two-part murder plot.

In documents allegedly seen by Radar, a email from 1998 from an anonymous whistleblower included a leaked proffer from Wasz’s lawyer, Larry Longo.

It read: “On about January 14 Bill Wasz met Robert Kardashian at his Encino home. At this meeting Kardashian offered Wasz $15,000 if he would kill Nicole with a .25 caliber bullet to the head. Robert Kardashian also told Wasz he was to steal [O.J.’s then-lover] Paula Barbieri’s car and use it during the murder.”

The same document also claimed Wasz later met Robert and was given $7,500, “which was to be a partial payment for the killing.”

Wasz began to wonder if he’d be framed for the murders, so he didn't go through with the plan.

Wasz did steal the SUV, but then robbed four stores across Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 1994, making off with $500 and a case of beer.
He led police on a high-speed chase, fled on foot after crashing into several cars and was arrested.

When Wasz was finally apprehended, inside the SUV, a small notebook was found, in which Wasz had detailed his earlier surveillance of Nicole. The notebook also contained unlisted 1994 phone numbers for O.J. and Barbieri, and was retained by police as evidence.

Wasz’s attorney said: “There’s no reason for him to steal that car, except as part of a plan for something else.”

Wasz interviewed after Nicole and Ron's death in 1994. According to official documents, during that meeting, the officers asked Wasz if he knew Robert.

His reply was recorded as: “Mr. Wasz advised the detectives to look into the background of Mr. Kardashian as he is not all that clean.”

Wasz was sentenced to 20 years and served ten for his crime spree and his allegations were under the carpet.

Apparently a murder conspiracy didn’t fit with the district attorney’s case, which argued an enraged O.J. acted alone in the murders.

Deputy District Attorney Bill Hodgman made moves toward indicting Robin,but no charges were ever filed against him.

Investigative journalist Joseph Bosco met with Wasz and presented his findings to Time magazine, but they canceled the story just minutes before going to print in 1998.

In jailhouse interviews, Wasz continued to blame Robert and claimed the police were trying to suppress his story that including how he’d sold cocaine to Robert and O.J. was a bookie in his spare time.

Robert Kardashian died in 2003 from cancer of the esophagus.

Wasz was released from prison in 2004 and was discovered dead, at age 41, in “mysterious circumstances” in March 2005.

A coroner estimated Wasz had been dead three days by the time he was found. The death was never investigated by West Los Angeles homicide detectives and remains a mystery to this day.

Wasz's memoirs are available in a book you can find on Amazon.com

The Search For Kelsey Berreth Leads To A Landfill.

As Kelsey's Berreth's suspected killer, Patrick Frazee, tries to get the wrongful death law suit, submitted by Kelsey's parents, dismissed, as the search for Kelsey leads to a landfill in Colorado.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation contacted Waste Management of Colorado regarding a potential search at Midway Landfill.

Berreth was last seen about 30 miles northwest from there in Woodland Park. She was shopping at a Safeway with her daughter on Thanksgiving when she handed over her toddler to her fiance Patrick Frazee, who is the child’s father. Berreth was reported missing Dec. 2 by her mother.

Frazee has been charged with five counts stemming from the disappearance of his fiancée, including two counts of first degree murder.

New Photos Tells Us Why The Titanic Really Sank

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. This lead to the death of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.

How Did the "Unsinkable Ship" end up at the bottom of the ocean?

And why was the ship going through an iceberg field at top speed?

It's wasn't just risky to build the Titanic, it was expensive as well.

A new shipyard had to be built just so they could build her. The shipyard in Belfast took up an equivalent of four city blocks.

White Star Line chairman and managing director J. Bruce Ismay was under tremendous pressure to turn the struggling cruise line company around. The White Star Line was trying to keep their heads above water as they placed their bets in the transatlantic shipping wars.

One of White Star Line's main rival was Cunard Line. Cunard Line boasted that they had the fastest ships and White Star Line went for size.

Chief designer Thomas Andrews oversaw the construction and design of the RMS Titanic. He had to cut corners after Ismay informed him that he had to cut the budget. The company wanted the ship out on the water as soon as possible and as cheap as possible.

Andrews was adamant about the integrity of the steel and the number of life boats there needed to be, but Ismay dismissed his concerns. 

It's too bad Ismay didn't listen to Andrews.

The Coal Strike of 1912, led to the labor conflicts, the White Star Line was under tremendous pressure, and the pressure mounted.

The coal strike also led to a rise in coal prices. Which didn't help with the budget for the Titanic.

The rise in coal prices were because there was a shortage of coal due to the strike. This might be why the Titanic was going full speed in an iceberg field. They were short on fuel. To slow the ship down, only to speed it back up, took more coal burning than a ship running at a continuous speed. 

When RMS Olympic,which was made with the same material and in the same ship yard as the Titanic, struck the Royal Navy’s HMS Hawk, the HMS Hawk left a gaping hole in the RMS Olympic’s bow and left cracks beyond the puncture.

The steel was substandard and the faulty metal on the ship tore easily. Steel workers advised Ismay that it’s best to use “special” steel, he informed the steel company that “ordinary” steel would suffice.

Fast forward to 2017, a photo album, belonging to Titanic enthusiast Steve Raffield, was discovered in an attic that held never before seen photographs of the Titanic before its maiden voyage. Raffield was flipping through the album, he saw something odd in one of the photographs.

Raffield blew up the photos and realized there was a 30-foot scorch mark on the Titanic’s haul, where one of the boilers was. This means it was a burn that came from inside the ship.

The coal bunkers were three stories high and house 1.5 tons of coal. When the coal was stored, something heated the coal reserve, and the coals caught fire and the Titanic began to burn. The Titanic was burning from the inside.

John Dilley was an eye-witness to the Titanic‘s coal fire, an engine room worker, he saw what was happening first hand and his accounts are chilling.

“There were hundreds of tons of coal stored there. We made no head-way against it … we didn’t get the fire out … from the day we sailed, the Titanic was on fire …”

Eleven men combated the coal bunker fire to no avail. The fire continued to burn when it departed from its port from Belfast to Southampton, where it would receive over 2,200 passengers ready to board and take sail across the Atlantic. 

None of the passengers knew there was a fire burning in the ship, in fact Ismay made sure no one knew. His reputation and the Star Line's reputation couldn't handle another delay, let alone a fire on board before it even took of on it's maiden voyage.

The coal might have been on fire days, if not heated for weeks before the flame was found and the Titanic left for Southampton.

Once a fire starts to burn, it’s extremely hard to put out. With that much quantity of coal, the fires can burn anywhere between 1,000 to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the equivalent of molten lava. That melts steel.

Besides the bunker is one of the ship’s bulkheads, the ship’s water-tight compartments, so if the ship took on water, the water would only fill in the designated compartment.

With a fire getting up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, it puts continuous heat and pressure on steel, the metal became brittle and weak. No longer will it hold upon impact and very prone to shattering. The bulkhead that was most affected was the last stronghold before reaching the boiler room. If the fourth bulkhead leading to the boiler room was damaged, nothing would protect the furnaces. 

The fire still burning when the Titanic left Southampton,  warped the metal around the ship’s boiler room’s bulkhead. It looked like a buckled wave of metal, and between the welding seam of the water-tight compartment, was a hole. All the crew could do was make a patch repair and hope that they could get the Titanic to port.

The only way the fireman and furnace workers could lessen the coal fire was to shovel away the coal into the furnaces. And with the furnaces burning hot, the ship was racing across the Atlantic at top speed (23 knots) and straight into an iceberg field.

Even though the crew received several iceberg warnings, didn’t want to stop in fear of being stranded in the middle of the ocean. It was rumored this pressured the captain to keep top speed.

Why did the Titanic sink so quickly?

The Titanic struck the iceberg with the starboard side of the ship. The iceberg scraped along the haul. It tore like tissue paper and the water quickly filled the water compartments. The water gurgled in and filled the bow of the ship. The compartments held,but not for long.

The fourth compartment groaned under the weight of the Atlantic as it pressed against the brittle and weak steel. It was the last barrier before the water could reach the engine room.

After he received word that the Titanic sank, Ismay sent a telegram for all the hired fireman who worked the Titanic to scatter inland, that their presence was not needed for the inquiry.

Shortly after the Titanic sank, a inquiry was underway and Ismay found himself on trial. Ismay claimed that all the fireman on the Titanic had perished in the Atlantic.

At the trial, the high court judged ruling over the inquiry, John Charles Bigham, aka Lord Mersey, was presented evidence of a coal fire was burning below the decks of the Titanic. He said the evidence was irrelevant and was recorded to have looked impatient and seemed to want to get the investigation over with.

160 firemen fired to embark with the Titanic‘s maiden voyage, only 8 stayed on after seeing the fire.
