Summary

In this episode, Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak with missing man Mike Montijo's sister Belinda and private investigator Lou Barry about Mike disappearance from Ridgeville, South Carolina on January 26th, 2020. This interview was previously published on Missing on October 20th, 2022. Mike Montijo has been missing from Ridgeville, South Carolina since January 16, 2020. PIFTM had an experienced homicide detective from a major city investigate the case. He determined that it was very likely that Mike was the victim of foul play. The Colleton County Sheriff's Department is not interested in pursuing the investigation and was uncooperative with our investigator. Mike's GoFundMe ⁠https://gofund.me/3f01ebb2⁠ to try and get a billboard up, or possibly attorney fees. Check out the Family FB page: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076385984282⁠.
