So I just can't imagine what somebody said to hurt him so badly. Unfortunately, I could see my son saying, let's get the **** in the car and we're going home. If you got in the car, what was said between

Baird and her grandparents houses a 20 mile 25 mile drive. It was broad daylight when he walked off. Everybody keeps making a big dough. The storm. I seen him in the videos in this event.

0:48.5

He was walking. He did not appear drunk. He was upset. He was on a mission. He knew where he was walking and he was going there. If I would have been driving by, I would have thought, oh, that's a nice looking kid on a walk. I mean, he didn't look like he needed help.

1:05.5

You know, nobody wrote a book on how to handle when your son goes missing. I just don't want my son's name forgotten. I believe somebody did something to him and they need to pay for it. He's not a kid that walked away to start a new life. That's not my son. He would never do that to his family, his brothers or that little baby.

The best experience he married Bailey. Chance and Bailey had a son together in May of 2019. He had worked as a welder at a mine until he was laid off when two mines were closed, but had recently gotten a new job.

4:03.5

Chance was looking forward to starting that new job, but disappeared before he ever had the chance to. For this story, we spoke to Chance's aunt Katie. While Katie isn't actually a blood relative of chances,

4:16.5

he called her aunt Katie because she was especially close to his family. Katie told us about Chance.

4:23.5

Honestly, their family is just really good friends to my family, but Aunt Katie, you know, they're not blood, but they're family. You know, we would do anything for any Englbert.

4:35.5

I got to meet Chance when he was eight months old, just an amazing, amazing person. Always has, and sorry I might cry on you. Just a happy person laid back when he was a baby.

4:48.5

Just loved everybody. He, my grandmother, baby, sat in and so their family. I mean, he's called me Aunt Katie since the day he could talk.

4:56.5

Just a great person and as he got older, it never changed. He was with me as an adult. I lived in Gillette, Wyoming, and while I was going to college, I got him a job at the coal mine for the summer.

5:07.5

So he could make good money and have some extra money throughout the school year. And then when he got graduated college, he came and lived with me full time.

5:15.5

I was like, well, he got started in life. And so he was just me calling off and on for four years. And when he, the day he told me he was moving out, he was very emotional.

5:26.5

Just didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings ever. And he was practically in series and told me, you know, Aunt Katie, I'm going to live with my buddy and I'm like, great, you know, I want you to. But you're not mad at me.

5:37.5

I'm like, no, I would never be mad at you. I let you live here. You could, you know, save your money and figure out what you wanted to do. And if you wanted to stay here and not be committed to something.

5:47.5

But I want you to grow and be seen as adults and do those things and just, you know, and I could call them at any time. And no matter what it was, it would be there to help me when I still live there.
