true crime, and the unknown. I'm your resident mystery enthusiast, Trevor Collins, and joining me hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz. I don't like these people already. They're out here harming horses. You know what? I'm glad you clocked that. Victim number one, the horse. The horse, man. Yeah. Ridiculous. This is, this is insidious. Can't stand for that. No. Anything to do with animal, cruelty abuse, any of that stuff can't stand for.

1:11.8

And they were like, we knew exactly who you were because you had this little boo-boo on your little back pouch just hanging on. And we know that's a third generation of the boo-boo.
