Welcome to the Mile Higher Podcast hosted by wife and husband duo Kendall Rae & Josh Thomas! Our show is focused on Crime & Conspiracies but we delve into many other topics including unexplained phenomena, metaphysics, futurism, ancient civilizations, and news stories the mainstream media doesn't cover. Our guests include experts in these topics as well as like-minded individuals who share our passion for uncovering the truth and exploring the mysteries of our universe. We never changed, we just woke up and so can you. Come chill with us every Monday and prepare to take your mind a mile higher!
The dedication, empathy, and effort they all put into these cases is amazing. And running a business? AND A BABY ALMOST HERE? I can’t get over it.
They are so impressive 💗
@@angelascharmedlifegenuinely motivating and inspiring 😭💕
I respect them so so much
YESS
Plus Josh’s 2 other podcasts and Kendall’s own channel. This is the power couple everyone should be talking about! ❤️👏🏼
Quite off topic but thank you Josh and Kendall for saving my butt! I recently moved and my anxious senior pup had been howling as soon as we were gone for work every day. We got a note complaining about her howling so I decided to turn on Mile Higher and queue up a few episodes each day so she wasn’t stuck in silence. My idea worked, apparently she is so used to hearing your voices around the house she stays calm even if we leave. 😂 so thank you for saving us from getting any more noise complaints!!
I love that so much and can relate! My old dog got a bunch of teeth pulled. He was in pain and confused because of the anesthesia. I sat with him for over an hour but I had stuff to do. I turned lop and as soon as he heard Josh he snuggled in and slept.🤗
That’s awesome :)
That’s amazing 😭😭❤️
Poor pup. Glad to hear that MHP is helping her. We leave cat TV on for our boys of we are gone for a long time / over night along with t-shirts that we have worn the previous day. Try leaving her blankets that have your scent on. Also, you can get calming plug ins that should help. Congratulations on your new home btw. ✨🏡
You should also try giving your pup some pet CBD from higher love wellness!!! It's helped my critters have less anxiety 😊
I met Jonathon a couple times delivering patients to the hospital he worked at when I was an EMT… He was always very kind…
Doubt you did
the fact that so many people were involved and they were able to evade being arrested for a good amount of time leads me to believe they are more organized and experienced than they claim.
The fact that Jonathan's and Audrey's parents know these criminals from the time they went to middle school, must be so heartbreaking.
Yah would have been good if they knew their kids were into blow
I remember watching Kendall's video and thinking that this case seemed cold. I'm so happy for the update and hope justice is served! Just a note about the first clip from the press conference - someone actually asked "how brutal was this murder?" Wtf kind of question is that?! The poor cop was probably caught off guard and had no idea how to politely answer.
My wife loves you guys she turned me on to all your podcasts and I'm glad. We watch you guys all the time and you seriously do a magnificent job on everything you guys tackle. Thanks for your hard work and giving us an outlet that we both enjoy.
Thank you for your post! I know these days you guys are busy nesting. We appreciate you still cranking these out for us! ❣️
We appreciate that!
I completely agree! ❤️
@@ReallyReall yeah it would’ve been so much better if they were ugly... see how stupid that sounds.
I second this! Thank y'all for the videos!
this case bothers our valley to this day... rest easy to these sweet souls. our community misses them dearly
This can’t possibly be the first time they’ve done this. Who knows how to get rid of bodies on the first go? I hope they all get life or the death penalty. They’re dangerous people.
100%
They were such a good looking couple too:/
honestly I think they saw that on Breaking Bad - its a story arc in the first season.Plastic & acid
And we need to close the border. These people only know crime and depravity
@@CháleloTheAtheistif you dont stfu
When your middle school or high school friends start hustling heroin or coke, please stop hanging out with them. This is no one's fault other than the killers, but when you're in that drug game you're in deep. Rip to two beautiful souls 🥺
I'm looking forward to watching this segment. I live in the area and my mom knows Audrey's mom. We've been following the case since they went missing. Thank you for giving it more exposure.🙏 It's hard even for us local residents to get information.
Thank you for posting content when you are going through such an important part of your lives. Take a break...we will still love you
We appreciate that!
Yes we will!!❤️❤️❤️
Of course we will! Don't forget to take a babymoon! ❤
Im from the Coachella valley and this case was and continues to be so big! Thank you for bringing light to this case. In such a small valley a lot of these cases tend to be forgotten. ❤️
I was deep in addiction for many years and was really deep into that world. I was an IV drug used , homeless and sold drugs and I can say that without a doubt so many things can go wrong with a drug deal … at any moment . It’s ugly and it gets ugly really fast. I’m happy to be clean now.
for sure fuck up the reup... the dealer fuck up there reup and decide to rob you... I've seen both plays. glad your sober I'm working on that also
I hope josh is doing okay. I know you guys are both grieving right now and you’re still doing this! Losing a grandparent is so hard, I lost my grandpa December of 2020 so I’m right their with you guys. Sending you both lots of love and gratitude 🤍
I have heard of this case before but I always love the empathy you guys put on these cases.
I’m from Brawley & I suspected right away Jonathan was never in Brawley. We are such a small town, everyone literally knows everything about everyone, and I found it odd no one knew or saw anything. This case is so heartbreaking 😔
Agree. Many here shared on Facebook when they went missing but no one seemed to know them.
Do u know the Montoyas brothers
I'm thinking Jonathan might have been trying to get "quick" money through drugs and Audrey might have been trying to help him by connecting them with those who ultimately killed them. She probably knew about drug deals her ex was pulling. Jonathan was probably a good guy who was desperate and did not know what he was getting himself into. I'm so sad for everyone involved.
I agree.
I agree. Also the fact that Jonathan’s friends mentioned they had no idea what other friends he had or why he was in that city . Audrey obviously knew most of these ppl .
That’s what I was thinking.
I completely agree. This was 100% about money. He was a middle man for these dealers that SHE knew. They were her ties, not his but he was doing the work here and it all came down to money bc that is what it's ultimately about when it's the drug game.
@@phannylrlr404 Yeah it also seemed as though they didn’t even want to kill Audrey because they knew her, but ultimately they were afraid that she might snitch.
Someone needs to do a video about Kevin Graves missing from Electric Forest Festival in Michigan, 2018.
I had never heard of this case. I just went down a rabbit hole and wow. This one is wild too. Absolutely heartbreaking. As a parent, I can't imagine my child missing and not knowing.
This sounds interesting
do a case request on Kendall’s channel!
@exploringwithnug @adambrownadventures
Thank you for the follow up on this case; so sad to know that she grew up with this woman & how awful 😢 people can be. Heartless… prayers for both of their families. May they receive the justice they deserve
They're such a beautiful couple. This case hurts my heart 😔
Me too mate, so much heartbreak coming out of the US right now, we feel it right along with you's here in Oz, I'll keep You's in my prayers always.
@@pascalswager9100 there’s always been so much heartbreak in the US. After all, it’s the country everyone “escapes” too.
Beautiful is a stretch
You guys are amazing. Firstly, you both do such an incredible job on these cases and done with such respect and sympathy. That's already a really difficult job. BUT you guys have just moved, sickness, family matters and a BABY almost here!! I just wanted to sleep my last trimester!
Josh and Kendall you are amazing!! Thank you for everything you do!❣️
Omg WHAT PERFECT TIMING! Making dumplings for the first time (it’s gonna take a long time) and I need something to listen to 😍😍😍 thank you guys 🥳🇮🇪
Update - the dumplings turned out horrible 🤮😂
🤣
I feel so bad for their families, though I do agree that finally having answers is better than never knowing what happened or where their loved ones are. Also I truly love the way you guys handle these cases and the compassion and empathy you show for the victims and their families.
This left me so confused. 😔 Can’t wait for part 3. Thank you for the updated video. Love you guys!
Just got out of a 2.5 year relationship & in the middle of moving out. You guys made my day 🥲
Stay strong! There is growth and happiness on the other side of pain. You’ve got this.
@@feliciaann721 🥺🥺🥺 thank you!!!
Omg me too, literally 3yr and moving out too :( he took a trip to Vegas so I’m just really sad rn
@@kassandravaldezcontreras8075 everything happens for a reason, we’re strong and we’ll get through it!
@@lylakaghat9689 thank you 💖💖 yes we will !
Hey guys! I can’t go a day without watching one of your videos! Obsessed 😍
Thats so good to hear! Thank you
I’ve been watching you guys and Kendall’s channel for years. My husband started truck driving and now I replay your episodes across the US during our trips together (because of course I watch them as soon as they come out.) Y’all make our drives so much more interesting. And we just came from Colorado… I tell everyone “my friends live there!” I’m talking about you guys 😂
♥️
The original video you posted is actually how I found you. I’ve been subscribed ever since. My mind always came back to this case because it was so odd. I’m so glad the parents got answers 🥺
I’ve been following this case since 2017. Thank you for the update. Terrifying that it was people they had known all their lives. So sad.
Thank you both for showing compassion and empathy when covering these stories. You are the only true crime I watch at the moment. Other channels try to hard to make it entertaining and its not. This is peoples lives and families that have faced horrible tragedy. Mile Higher for life for me!! 💋💯😊
Awesome timing! Driving on my way home from work sweating my tail off from how insanely hot it is outside right now! Was looking for something to listen to on my ride home while I cool off! Thanks for all the hard work guys! & I wish the both of you the absolute best with the baby & things to come!
Do you need to get your ac in the car fixed? It’s horrible when the car AC goes out when you live in hot and high humid climate. Ugh, I feel you!!😂
Do you think she actually said she would go to the police or were they just saying that to have a reason to kill her? I just wonder why she would say that if she knew how dangerous these people were.
My exact thought haha.
My thoughts exactly!
What sounded off to me was when they said Adilene administered CPR. I highly doubt that someone with ill intent would, even in an accidental event.
If Audrey was going to school for RN she was CPR certified. She probably told them to call an ambulance or she would.
I doubt she said she would go to the police. But they couldn't let her go because she literally knew all of them and witnessed the murder. No way they were letting her go 😞
Rats be rats
Thank you for covering this so respectfully. I went to school with Jon and he was the sweetest. So many of my friends were basically family to him and it hurt so much to see them hurt. He was truly friends with everyone. This tragedy will forever hurt and no one here in the desert will ever forget. 🙏🏻
I'm so glad you made a full episode on this case. I've been hoping yall would cover it
Thank you for covering this case 😔 it is so close to my heart . I went to school with Audrey and we were great friends . She was literally one of the most beautiful souls I've ever known and she is very missed to this day . I also went to school with the perpetrators and it's shocking to know what they were capable of . This is still taunting and traumatizing to think about . I will forever hold the memories in my heart . She is truly missed . 💔🙏🏻🤍
I knew Jon and he was always the life of the party. The Jon I knew would have never been involved in this type of activity or these types of people. I knew his real friend group and hung out with them and drugs were NEVER around☹️💔 my heart still sinks whenever I think about it. So surreal.
this is such an interesting case to me. Maybe it feels closer to home because I spend a lot of time with my family in the area .
You guys have an amazing talent for bringing this story to life in a respectful way . Hopefully more people talking about this case will shed some light on some of the unanswered questions,
My heart breaks not only for Jonathan and Audrey’s loved ones, but the one year old involved. That baby is going to have to grow and and find out what their parents did with them in the house 💔 So tragic for all.
Ty for the detailed update. It’s so sad but I’m happy to hear their police dept did a thorough investigation and found the culprits. Hope their families get justice.
As someone who trains dogs including training for cadaver/search n rescue, the scent of them from the car probably traveled uphill due to the wind, it’s that easy for dogs to track scents, and wind plays a huge role in where the dogs work for a scent. Then, as a women, you aren’t going to convince me to climb up that embankment. I don’t think either of them went up it at all, unless they were forced
Thank you for this comment, I was wondering about that even more after the story unfolded. The scent thing and the embankment just didn't make sense, so thank you for the input
Thanks for this info cause I was wondering why his scent was by the car if he was murdered obviously before the car was planted there. Just so sad these two lost their lives in such a horrible way.
Im so late but i was just commenting this exact fact! So happy you did! As a former k9 searcher myself this is immediately what I thought happened. Hoping the search team and cops were smart enough to already think about that
Thank you guys for covering this case.Its in my hometown and it hit our community hard when they dissapeared.
I miss the old intro which Josh sings "I'm Higher 🎶 "
That was not Josh.... was it 🤣
It was not Josh in the old intro lmao Kendal and Josh have stated before that they always found it funny when people assumed it was them in their old intro
@@imaginemunchkin9573 o ya!!
I think you nailed it, Josh, when you said it’s some sort of resolution. It don’t think the families will ever have closure. What a loss.
I'm from the Imperial Valley where Brawley is located that's where jonathan was supposedly going, I was following this case since the beginning. Thank you for covering it!
I’m from the Coachella Valley, howdy neighbor!
@@infamous-xm2fc it’s small but far from peaceful!
@@mariyahxvo5670 😯😥
Thank you for updating us on this case.
I live in the valley and this was by far the scariest thing that happened in town. It was scary knowing you can go missing without a trace in your own home town. Thank you for sharing guys. Condolences to the family 😔🤍🙏🏼
Thank God for our police who work so diligently and effectively to bring justice for the lives taken.
I remember a few months ago coming across your video about them a few years ago… I remember commenting and asking you to revisit this since there was an answer to the case and I’m a local to Coachella. Thank you for getting the truth out there 🙏🏽 I still remember the week they went missing
So sad to hear this news but now their families have closure and have them back. Prayers for them. Thank you for sharing this news with us.
Thanks for the update on this couple. I always wondered what happened to them. Such a tragic end. Prayers to their families.
You guys are amazing posting new episodes while going through so many life issues. I am a superfan and really appreciate your dedication. Much love and care for your new baby on the way and hugs to Josh with the loss of his Grandparent. Life is hard at times but you two will hold each other up
Johnathan was at a very low place in his life and turned to drugs. And Audrey had the hook up through her ex. Johnathan didn't have money, Audrey vouched for him and he couldn't come through. Her ex prolly got in trouble with the others for giving the drugs (because he was low in the game) and he had to fix it. So he told Audrey to bring Johnathan to him, she did, they jumped him but did* hit him to hard and killed him. Then they killed her because she was a witness and a liability.
That's how I see it
I also believed this could have happened. There was rumors he was running guns also. My brother in law went to school with her. May their souls find peace 🙏🏼♥️
So glad this was solved since when I heard about this case from Kendall's channel it seems so hopeless. When these case get solved it gives me hope for other cases.
So sad & heartbreaking. 2 amazing young people. I just hate these stories for the family to have to hear horrific things their loved ones endured. You two do such an awesome job & so respectful in telling these stories
Your instinct that several people were involved was spot on Kendall. It's awful how much the two suffered, especially Audrey that night, hopefully justice will be served. I do still wonder what was up with the car? Who put it there and how does it fit in with the events?
Thank you for covering this 😭 it’s been such a horrible tragedy for the valley especially now that they’ve started trials and what not the details have been hard to listen too 🥺
I’ll never forget eating at a burger spot and walking out and seeing the posters 😥
Jonathan is my cousin and we grew up together in New York before we both went out separate ways in life & lost contact. Finding out this happened back in 2017 through his mom was super hard on all of us especially Mayra. I'm not happy to know they both gone for real but now Mayra has closure & can start healing process. Regardless of what ppl can speculate if they was doing drugs or deals the fact remains the horrible experience they endured and didn't deserve. Miss you cuz n may you Rest in paradise and I'll be seeing you again when time comes. Xoxo
This is total craziness, I'm just now getting a notification that this video was posted! It was posted 3 hours ago 😭 it's okay at least I know it got posted LOL! I always love the content you guy share!! Thank you!!
I just watched ur channels covering of this case! Hopefully some new info will be revealed, excited to listen!
Update: Damn…
You two amaze me with how much effort you guys put not only in this channel but your other channels, while running a business, AND with a baby on the way! Thank you for still pushing out videos while you guys are I’m sure so very busy. It’s really appreciated❤️💙
Ohh wow, just finished the Johnny Gosch case, I'm here for the new one !! Nor
Thing better that chilling and sleeping to your calming, relaxing energy 🥰💕
I live in Brawley & have been following this case for a while. It was so strange he would have said he was coming to Brawley because honestly there’s nothing here.
Thank you for the updates on these two young adults . Such a heartbreaking story 💔 😢.
Omg so happy to see an update to this case. May their souls Rest In Peace now :(
Any updates on this case? It's been a year since the last news I can find.
I live in Coachella Valley and had no idea this happened! Thanks for covering this!
I remember this case when it first happened ,Rest In Peace to these beautiful people ❤️
Love all of your podcasts 🥰 I get so excited when you guys post 🥳
I remember watching your video on this case and others a few years ago. So sad to hear of the outcome, obviously absolutely devastating for the family & friends. May they both rest in Peace🤍
Usually we complain and agree that the police work in a lot of these cases is subpar, but I gotta say here they actually figured out a lot and caught the guys! though it took a while but they had to do it under raps or they probably wouldn't have been able to put their guy undercover. Lol maybe the police actually doing their job is surprising now...
I think most cops do their job well, it's just not as newsworthy when they do. Unless you're in a bigger city, murder investigations are just a tiny fraction of what most police departments do. But you are right, the cops did a great job in this case!
honestly being from the Coachella valley it wouldn’t be too crazy to hear if Jonathan was to be selling. Most of the people living here especially the younger ones are either dealing, part of gangs, or are buying from these people. I’ve had friends robbed at gun point, at one point a friend of a friend got threatened by the Mexican cartel and told they would cut his head off and put it on a stick for everyone to see. I’ve lived out there for the last 12+ years and the raised violence have gotten worse and worse. I went to school with Audrey’s cousin, such sweet person and always talked highly of Audrey. When the news got out everyone in the valley were so surprised and shocked by the people who had done it.
So true and sad
Constantly keeping us entertained with all the podcasts and videos! Can't wait til Baby Jessica is here, so appreciate the hard work with everything else y'all got going on!
They think it's hilarious that some people think her name is actually Jessica 🤣
Just wanted to thank you for recommending MurderWithmyHusband. I love them. They are another great listen. Keep up the good work. Love being along for the journey!!🙂
I’ve been waiting for you guys to cover this! I’ve been following the case since they’re from my hometown.
I love your dedication and passion for true crime! Thank you all for everything you do for getting cases out and spreading awareness. I look forward to your videos during a difficult time I’m going through. I love you all so much and hope you all are doing okay! 💕
Such a tragic ending. I watched Kendall’s original video and remember praying that the family had some closure, to me there’s nothing more painful than the unknown. May their families have peace and healing. 💜
Crazy how I was thinking about this case a few weeks ago. I always was wondered what happened to them. And all of the sudden, this episode is uploaded! R.i.P to them.
Thank you for updating this case❤
Thank you guys for keeping us updated! I'm happy to hear the families will get answers.
I didn’t know this was 5 days ago !!? Omgosh. Man this just tugs on my heart. Poor loves did not deserve this. 🙌🏽💕 praying for their families 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I live about 20 minutes away from Brawley ca so I have been following this story closely glad they found the people who did this.
Perfect timing :') I'm about to sleep and search for old vids of Kendall and mile higher to listen to
my son is older now and reeeeally curious about everything so some things are harder to watch or listen to but i love yall and the podcasts sm
Thanx guys for marking another great video♥️♥️ helping me expand my English vocabulary. Shoutouts from Sweden 🇸🇪♥️
I’ve seen every single episode of all of your channels and I just want to hang out with y’all! I’ve never commented on a UA-cam video before just wanted to say I love you all every one of you!!! From NE ♥️
I love you guys, love your calming voices. Hope you are doing well ❤️❤️
I absolutely love you two. You seem to be best friends. The intro music is great. I know the baby is coming soon and I've been praying for an easy delivery for Kendall, baby, and Josh. You are going to be amazing parents. I've never seen a couple with so much empathy for the families of the victims you cover.
You had a guest in the recent past. This guest has an inflated ego and I now barely watch their channel. You two were so nice to the guest and the guest reciprocated. It gave me hope for the guest. So, I went back to the channel for another chance. I just couldn't finish it.
You two are an example for all youtubers to follow.
Still praying for the baby! God bless y'all
Josh & Kendall are goals af 🤘🏼🩷
Great video & thanks for the update! 💕🙏🏽 I remember watching Kendall’s video so thanks for it. Prayers for their families & I hope they get justice!
Another great episode. You all bring such awareness to cases that we’d never hear about. There’s another one that is superrrrr suspicious happening now- Everette Roman Jackson. Reminds me of another case (cannot remember the name) where the body is alllll of a sudden in a place that’s been searched a million times. Young man who went to see his girlfriend in another state & supposedly died while they were all tubing 👀🤔
I just came to say that this shows how investigators should take a case seriously and work this hard to find victims justice! After watch years of Kendall’s content, shows how horrible police work can really be. This was not a happy ending but the family and victims have found justice.
love yall love the pod sending all the lovins' to the mile high fam and baby
Completely heartbreaking ending to this case. 💔
I pray their family gets the justice they deserve.🙏💞
I have always loved Kendall’s videos but I enjoy the dynamic of the 3 of y’all together!
Guys I love you lots. You’re a massive part of my life because I listen to you every night to help me sleep. However this particular video is bothering me as I’ve really struggled to stay awake to listen to the whole story!! 😝 day 4, attempt 4!!
I wanted an update on this 🙏🏼 thank you!
I'm so happy you still find time to make these podcasts work with a baby on the way.
Y'all both always show the upmost respect for the families and I absolutely love that hopefully we will all have the answers we are looking for
