Hello and welcome to best case, worst case. My name is Maureen O'Connell, and I'm your host today.

I'm a 25-year veteran of the FBI and a 20-year veteran of the evidence response team.

And with me today is Jim Clementi, retired FBI profiler former New York City, prosecutor,

right producer of criminal minds and bluebeard on Audible. And today, Maureen, well, we have a very

sad case to talk about. Terrible. Yeah. Well, when kids travel students, college students, high school students, spring break,

people go far and wide and there's been a number of unfortunate cases like Natalie Holloway

where unfortunately kids don't come home. And it

seemed like it's happened again. So James Jimmy Gracie, who hails from just outside Chicago

and went to, my understanding is from, because I'm from Chicago,

and my Facebook page has been blowing up asking for prayers for this young man, and we've all

been praying intently. He went to St. Ignatius High School. He was there with a bunch of his buddies. They went out to a club.

From college though, from college buddies, right? Correct. Yes, his buddies from Alabama.

And he just was never seen again. The last time he was seen was with an American gal who, you know,

his buddies all wanted to leave and go back to the Airbnb and he wanted to stay or hang with

this, this girl a little bit longer. So it's just, you know, a parent's absolute worst nightmare.

Yeah, so I mean, in cases like this,

you know, I was asked to go on the news and consult about it,

but I didn't have any information, you know,

there was nothing to really go by, but in cases like this,

we don't, we typically see young people who are out at a club

or bars with their friends, and they separate.

And that's the worst thing they can do.
