Tried a few new techniques for this one so I hope you all like it!
I talked about this on Twitter for a bit, but I've been dedicating a ton of time behind the scenes to learn 3D scene construction in hopes that it'll allow me to really open my topic range up for 2021 and onward. Daily, I pass up on tons of incredibly interesting cases that I'd love to cover, but have never really had a way to "show" anything.
I apologize for this video being shorter than the norm - that's partly chalked up to the fact that I needed to test the waters to see if I could actually pull this stuff off. It took some work, but I'm thrilled that I was able to.
With that being said, I'm already at work on the next one and while it'll be something you've probably heard of, I'm going to pull out all the stops and make the presentation wholly refreshing and unique. It's an incident that I've had on my whiteboard for like a year, and I've decided it's finally time. Run time will be more or less 35 minutes or so.
ANYWAY, hope you enjoy. If you hate it then lemme know what I can do better and I'll take it into account moving forward.
🖤
PS- on the horizon:
next up - the video i mentioned above
after that - an investigation into an "old internet" incident
after that - an aviation incident
after that - idk we'll see. throw me some recs.
hyped to bring you something fresh this year.

Kinda sad the two turkey sandwiches weren’t rendered in 3D. Their placement in the fridge could’ve helped crack this case wide open
😂
Imagine if he made 2 full blown ass turkeys, feathers and all, between 2 slices of bread hahahaha just sitting in the fridge.
Right. If you make a sandwich and put it in the top shelf, you're coming back to it. Bottom shelf, you disappear into the ether
Okay but what if the sandwiches actually cracked the case
I just hope the wife ate them so they didn't go to waste.
I knew 9/11 changed airline safety but being able to board a plane without a valid ID is insane to me like this was 30 years ago...
Until 9/11 air travel wasn't seen as much different to any other form of public transport. You wouldn't need a valid ID to cross country by bus or rail, why would you to do so by air?
In the early 70s I've boarded planes with a gun & no one checked.
This was the way of North American air travel until September 10, 2001. I think only Israel had super strict airport security back then. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, I don't remember ever hearing about an domestic American hijacking during that time, only international ones. In the states hijackings died out in the 70s, and even back then it was some guy that wanted a brief case full of money.

Why?
🙏🙏
In my country, a lawyer suddenly disappeared in 1994. His body was found 28 years later in 2022, sunken 44 meters into the Baltic Sea.
A business partner of his then pleaded guilty to the murder and was convicted. The case is a great example of excellent police work when it comes to investigating crimes.
To the marketplace.
Also a great example to be extremely cautious when choosing who you call “partner”
Is there a video about this?
He pleaded not guilty, but he’s been convicted and is as guilty as it gets. I don’t think there’s any English videos about the case
Who was he? I’d like to do more research, it sounds interesting
It’s genuinely disturbing to me how many cases like this there are. Someone tells their loved ones they don’t feel safe, they think they’re in danger, etc. The person then vanishes and is seen behaving strangely by strangers and witnesses. The person is seen acting frantic and like they’re in hurry. Then they vanish without a trace, never to be seen again. Creepy as hell.
I wouldn't be surprised if people are "taken care of" this way. Threaten someone then send them on a wild goose chase to make their actions appear erratic and unpredictable. Then they have an accident and are never seen again.
It may have also been some kind of manic episode but the fact that he went to such great lengths to conceal his movements makes me think he was aware of his actions.
Don’t get involved with dangerous shit the mob,gangs,corrupt companies,the government,ect
@Toothpaste Well, yeah considering the sheer size of the USA it's no wonder some people may turn up missing never to be found again (*cough* successful murder or kidnapping *cough*).
In the urban areas you would definitely have a harder time commiting a crime like murder and getting away with it due the amount of population density, but say let's go to a small town in the middle of nowhere surrounded by wasteland or forest - perfect hiding place if you know what your doing.
@@harekrishnauncommonpastime8404 ok
My dad did the same thing. Disappeared mysteriously.
His ex-firm should be looked at closer. They had the most to benefit from his disappearance.
Especially given he feared for his safety, they should have been one of the first suspects when he originally disappeared.
Yeah, it feels to me like this dude was murdered, and his ex-employers had something to do with it. I mean, they sounded like a big deal, he was afraid of them, he feared for his safety … pretty sure they killed him.
@@KitKat0418 He tried to shake-off whoever it was, and did it well enough to puzzle the police.
If he got found by whoever he was fleeing from (namely, his former firm) faster than the police, they had access to some VERY privileged intel, some NSA/CIA level stuff. This was the 90's, before 9/11.
Either that or they threatened his family when they found out that he fled, and he gave himself up to protect them.
Yeah, if the main problem is that ex-firm.
i pictured that he found out about some shady business dealings and they sent a Anton Chigurh type hitman after him which could've been the person in the Camaro
VHS tapes had 3 different recording types that decreased the quality, but tripled the amount of room to record up to 12 hours on a single tape.
Yes but that was a relatively new feature in 1993. The older models didn't have it.
@@cosmicrdt - No. SLP was available then, and further for someone who can fly family out to Dallas for shopping and was apparently wealthy, programmable VHS was pretty common and easily available.
Said that to myself too...& apparently my family was wealthier than I realised.😜
The ring on the counter and leaving with his card seems like he was leaving his family but something random happened that didn't go according to his plan...all those tiny things add up to serious red flags
I personally think it was a mental breakdown
Exactly what I was thinking, nobody leaves their ring and wallet behind, he knew he had to leave because of the shady shit but it didn't turn out too well for him
It’s weirdly poignant and sweet that he made sandwiches for them.
Enough to make a grown man cry

I wonder how many cases like this can just be explained by some form of psychosis.
Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but it may be and it’s so incredible to me(someone who’s experienced psychosis) how bizarrely it can make you behave. Walking down the side of the highway in military clothing is nothing compared to some of the delusions that can arise from a schizophrenic episode or mania etc etc
Tons. I see a lot of these missing stories and they are often in to drug use. I’ve had a lot of patients who had walked for miles on meth. Drug use and mental illness plays a role in a lot of cases.
Its one of those things that explains hard to explain events. Just insert “he went crazy” into nearly every story ever, and suddenly it becomes plausible. For that reason it’s a terrible explanation, especially for people with no history of severe mental issues
To me the most compelling thing to point to him having gone crazy was the whole “I’m going to tell the truth no matter who it hurts” thing. Although I haven’t experienced psychosis, I know some people can be completely breaking down mentally and hide it really well but if it’s eating away at them some of what’s bothering them is going to leak out a bit. I’m sure he’s seen a ton of messed up stuff as a lawyer and maybe some messed up stuff in the case he was working, and maybe it all finally got to him.
@@_jayb his statement of "telling the truth no matter who it hurts" in no way indicates he was having a breakdown or psychotic episode. Maybe he did know something about someone and they didnt want it to get out. Respectfully, you're clutching at straws there.
this isn't psychosis... he was about to destroy the lives of very powerful people and bring down a law firm
he was abducted and then murdered - most of the evidence was staged to muddy the waters, he was recording that game while he got a visit by his abductor which told him to leave his ID and wedding ring on the counter, they dropped off his car and then moved him to the other side of the country, ran him over and then left his body on the side of the road
This reminds me a bit of the murder of Blair Adams, a Canadian man who suddenly embarked on a cross country trip across the US after telling others that someone was out to kill him, and ended up being found murdered in a parking lot in Tennessee. Both the identify of his killer(s) and his reason for being in Tennessee (among many other questions) are still unknown.
It's weirdly wholesome how before he vanished he made them some fresh turkey sandwich
Right?
Or did he?

@@offbrand2161 David wtf where are you
@@offbrand2161 what did you do to those sandwiches, david? WHAT DID YOU DO?!?
One time in 1983, this unnamed cruiser was found in the Canary Islands. It was in perfect working order, and no indication of an attack. Three half-full cups of coffee and an acetylene blowtorch that was used to open a steel box that was on deck. The box was empty but it is believed to have sheltered something inside its two compartments. Crazy shit. Always wonder what happened.
That sounds so suspicious lolll
That’s very intriguing

Someday he will say: "welcome guys, to Disturbing Things From Around The Internet, 12."
I really hope so. 😔
Got ur wish today
got some news for u
Hey guess what
Hey what do ya know?!
I have worked in Inpatient psychiatry, and we would see cases similar to this (with no deaths) on a weekly basis - a previously “normal” person starts acting oddly, often makes bizarre and vague plans to flee, alludes to someone being after them but won’t contact police or provide any details, etc.
Our brains have a “people are after me” center, and this can go wrong from anything to drugs (MJ), to liver failure (and gone when addressed) to most often, nothing medicine can currently pinpoint. And people with this often have a mix of typical, and very atypical, behaviors seeming “normal” for a few minutes, then saying/doing something very atypical or unusual. It is one of the last taboos subjects I medicine (with the person/families often not telling others about) and more common than most hunk, often shocking the family when the previously reliable person changes.
I certainly don’t know if this occurred in this case, but it is consistent with the usual pattern.
People can flee actual threats or have reasons not to say why, but there is a method behind the plans, even if trying to hide their tracks, and they are still organized in seeing them through, whereas people with a paranoid episode are repeatedly disorganized (losing the money they brought, jumping out of cabs/then demanding to get back in, then jumping out again, renting a car, then losing the key, checking into a hotel then randomly wandering until some passerby helps them find their room, then suddenly running off etc.). It is a true emergency as they often have adult resources but are very impaired in their thinking, and can easily put themselves in harms way.
WTF MY NAME IS DAVID LEWIS THIS VIDEO IS CREEPY AF
ok
its only creepy if youre hiding something
I’m happy your story has been finally told.
You doing okay with your employer?
theres a guy at my school with that name too-
Y’all remember when he was named Nightmare Expo
I still call it that
ahh good memories
@@hicknopunk same. Most ppl be confused when I mention that
It really wasn't that long ago, maybe a year? A lot of his fans are probably from before then.
HAHA yes!!
Prior military here, was stationed in JBLM for a good while. I've been to Yakima more times than the fingers and toes I still have. Yakima has an army training center right up next to it and it was opened in 1989. There's always plenty of homeless and surplus stores near every base, even training centers. In fact if you walk by any military base you'd see a lot of homeless hanging around in military gear; from your typical ACU to PT uniforms. Workboots might have been mistaken for military boots, though I have no idea what kind of gear was issued back then.
Just a guess but maybe he got his military garb by asking the surplus stores near by or someone gave it to him thinking he was homeless.
Yeah, a lot of people are theorizing he got those clothes intentionally to disguise himself, but I think it's also totally likely he ended up in a situation where he needed new clothes(old ones got stolen/damaged/wet etc.) and "military style clothing" was his first available option.
Or he was in banging a dude stationed on base - used the clothes to get on and off without suspicion. Affair seems the most likely to me based on the facts we have, and the fact that theres a base there seems suggest there is a reason someone would be out there that he could have met in dallas, for instance
100% agreed. i live in yakima and heading to ellensburg you have the training area and there’s a rest stop nearing the selah area and it’s always full of homeless in camo outfits.
My mind goes, "damn, if only the person who found his body had turned around sooner or something etc." but if he had turned around to a live David Lewis we might not even be hearing of this story right now. Funny how that works
I would prefer that. Like his wife and his daughter didn't deserve to go through this much trauma.
Was thinking the same. Then I thought "but what if he had still be hit but survived, was identified and the case continues..." Most of us are here for the unsolved eeriness of the mystery but a cracked case would be cool once in a while like the crime solved by 4chan
Definitely an interesting rabbit hole of thought to go down. If he had survived, that means the story might've ended at the "missing in Texas" portion, or it could've ended up being even more fascinating if he truly was running from something that he was planning on exposing.
Gotta give the man credit. He did a good enough job covering his tracks that we still don’t know why he left.

I wish he did more videos like this. I’ve never heard of this case before, thank you for the scoop!
It seems like he went through a lot of trouble to document that he was in Texas, just before he skipped town. The car at the court house, the recorded football game, the sandwiches, they all scream “I stayed home the entire weekend”...
Are you suggesting David is the antagonist in this case.....?
@@stuartd9741 I just think it’s odd that he went through all the trouble to make it look like he stayed in Texas.
You have a fair point
Yeah imo he was definitely hiding from somebody
Well he's a lawyer so maybe he had some high up criminal client and had a disagreement....or maybe that firm he was about to bust, idk hired someone to get at him and he caught wind and dipped...idk tbh just guesses
Hold on, is no one questioning why he took a picture of his car? People don’t go to their place of work, take a picture of their parked car, and then leave.
Typically you take pictures of your car for insurance reasons. It's possible he was expecting someone to destroy or pipe-bomb it and took off out of fear and planned to come back at some point.
@@TenApplesforTime okay but then where’s the photos?? It had to be on a disposable camera
Yeah I was thinking that too. Seems like a weird thing to leave hanging. Did he take it with him on his trip? Or what?
yeah there are a lot of odd questions that don't get mentioned in the video.. why did it take 10 years for some guy to just happen to deduce the fact that the body was David? shouldn't the body have been identified asap when it was found? teeth or even hair dna. did they not have these technologies in the 90s. im pretty certain they did.
@@Ascendancy- They'd need to have a sample of David's to match against to identify him by his teeth, fingerprints, or DNA. David didn't have a criminal history, so his fingerprints wouldn't show up in any databases. Authorities don't collect and store DNA samples of citizens either, so that's not something they'd have on hand to compare against, and they'd need to specifically request dental records from David's dentist if they'd wanna get a match that way.
YakEma, lol. Walking down those Yakima highways is scary, especially towards the wapato reservation. My uncle heard a blood curling scream around 4 in the morning and stayed under the highway light until it was sunrise.
Dude, this new style of visualization is so cool and very well done. Props to the idea and the execution!
In Yakima, WA, it was asked why he didn’t get a rental car if he had all that cash. He didn’t have his driver license on him, as it was left in the glove compartment of his vehicle in TX. While ID wasn’t required to board an airplane, a driver license was required to rent a car.
yeah I think he is spot on with this dude having a paranoia-induced breakdown, he probably got a series of hitchhikes and ended up there, then got ran over by accident. Him wearing something that is the polar opposite of what he would normally wear may be another indication
@@frankmerker630 I was thinking, what if there was/HE THOUGHT there was a hit on him by the company he was in a legal battle with? Thatd kinda explain why he would run away to a completely different state with no ID, wearing clothes he wouldn’t normally wear.
You mean "yaKEEMah", WA lol
@@Posit_Zero_Blue yeah lol it's just Yakima not Yakeeemah lmao.
I think that there was no walking down the road, no hit and run. He just got killed and droped there later. And about photo of the car. Maybe he did a photo of someone behind his car?
Yakima, WA is used by the military for training. When my fiancé was stationed at Ft. Lewis they would often do training in Yakima for weeks at a time. Just seems relevant since you mentioned he was in military attire.
That's one of the questions I have when I saw this video. It only took a quick Google search to find the base in Yakima, WA. That leaves me with several questions:
Did David Lewis have military history prior to his disappearance? When did he get ahold of his gear, and how did he get ahold of it? Is it military-like, or were his clothes, in fact, military issued clothing? If it was military-issued he'd have to get it directly from the branch or from someone directly affiliated with a branch of the armed forces to obtain the uniform.
I think, for more information this case, you'd need to look into the Yakima base, and that's no easy feat. Was someone (either under another name, a similar name, or the same name) suppose to show up around the time of Lewis's death and never did? Were they starting a new or specialized training session near the day of David Lewis's death in 1993?
I bet investigators could figure out more if they got a good look at his glasses. According to my brother (US Marines), the military issue a separate pair of glasses to members that need to wear them, so it probably looks different from a pair he'd wear casually.
I think Nexpo could really do a follow up video on this one. There's a lot to work with here.
@@N1Officialmx What's interesting is that not a single cop connected with the case in Yakima noticed that the highway in question was the one that leads to said base or that he might have been wearing camo pants for a reason, or that his "work boots" were suspiciously exactly the same as Army boots at the time.
Ofc, most of this has already been figured out in the 10 years since that 2011 article.
David Lewis was, in addition to "working" for a mob-connected law firm, also an analyst with the CIA at the time. Have fun with that.
@@FroggerbobT
That last paragraph of yours… Is that your speculation, or is that what has been figured out by authorities since 2011? Or is that what redditors have gathered?
@@N1Officialmx the base is In Lakewood Washington about two hours away from Yakima the army just uses the deserts for training also as someone who lives in Lakewood there’s like a million military surplus stores that sell military gear to anyone who has cash
I live in Yakima and let me tell ya...the cops don't give a shit about anything. Our police force sucks. As far as a training base, yeah they have some here but I couldn't tell ya where they are, and I never SEE it happening. We just have a bunch of gangs and crackheads. The place that I worked would have people ODing in the bathroom a couple times a year. Can't wait to get out. But yeah I never see training of any kind go on around here. I know where one base is out in east selah (about 10 minutes outside of Yakima) but I have no clue where any training takes place in Yakima

Yo just recently found ur channel, perfect for night shift!
I’m seriously thankful for your work, keep it up.
Man your content is fantastic. Thanks for the hard work you put into the videos!
Being a lawyer is a dangerous job.
In fact, any job that's involving with the government is dangerous.
Being IN a government is dangerous in general, too many rich bastards taking advantage of the public and capable of shattering every mind if the person is good enough.
Nah. I caption phone calls for deaf people through the ADA. I am a government employee. Nothing exciting has ever happened in these walls and nothing exciting will ever happen.
@@tommyt7555 that's what you want us to think...

join the military.... You'll learn haha 🤣
I'll never understand these situations where a person tells their wife/husband/family member that they believe they're in danger, or that they fear for their lives... and then the family member just doesn't press them anymore on it, like it's totally normal and not a big deal. Idk man, but if it was me and someone I cared about told me that they were afraid for their life I would legit drive them crazy until they told me why 🤷🏻♂️ it just always seems so bizarre to me.
Like "yeah, he said he was afraid that someone was gonna stab him repeatedly with a knife next week-but then he didn't say why so I just forgot about it" ...like WTF how is that acceptable lol 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe he didnt tell her much to keep her from being a future target? ignorance is bliss sometimes
I agree 100% if I ever heard this I would never leave that person's side.
Maybe it's something the grieving spouse makes up to feel better about him leaving his wedding ring on the kitchen counter?
@@laurenbader1566 I mean that's a good point and that very well could be the case, but you'd still think she would have questioned him more about it. Or at least knew something more than she does ya know?
Or even his dad when he told him "I'm gonna tell the truth, no matter who it hurts" ...was he just like "K" 🙃 lol. Idk honestly it just strikes me as odd that NOBODY asked for some kind of clarification, that's all.
@@drippeeboye607 Right?? Totally bizarre 😐
Really enjoying all your hard work on the production of your videos; the new graphics provide a seamless link to other aspects used in the narrative, such as the newspaper articles.
This video was fantastic. Your channel is my go-to for spooky content, and this video hooked me even more. Such high quality content.
I was waiting for “Just LEMMiNO” at the start
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.
@@lackingcool127 If you watch this channel. You watch LEMMiNO.
@@KudosK42 fact.
When I saw Nexpo's pinned comment I had a hunch the visualizations would ve similar to Lemmino. And sure enough they were! This also prompted me to check his channel, and now we have a new upload to watch. I dig this direction, the visualizations definitely help keep me invested.
same! but lemmino uploads like once every 3-5 months and a few days ago he uploaded so it would be extremely weird if he uploaded on the same week
I think everyone is overlooking the fact that he was a lawyer. Definitely pissed off the wrong person possibly multiple people.
6:28 ehh idk if they're "overlooking" it
Agree
doesn't add up. he was more likely killed by a random driver
your editing is top notch bro, I respect the amount of work you put into it
Bro that ad scared the shit out of me.
Great Content!!
I was gonna watch a movie but this popcorn is going toward this vid instead

I live this kind of content, I only knew about Lemmino, but I'm so happy that I found your channel. Cheers!
The quality of your videos is incredible - thank you for pouring so much work into this!
I really enjoyed the more "bite sized" style video that still went into as much depth as your other content. The prospects of this 3D modeling showing the scenes is super awesome and I think will help with understanding some cases better. Can't wait to see what you have in store this year Nexpo.
that fade out transition was oddly satisfying
This one reminded me about one situation that happened with me couple years ago. My 70 years old aunt just walked out from her house, telling nothing to anyone, and then just wandered away somewhere. Without documents, phone and any proper clothes ( End of November, smth about +4C). Police found her body in a nearby village after bout 4 month of search.
I still don't know what might make that sudden change in people's brain, that they just walk away in nowhere. (Sry for bad eng)
damn im sorry to hear that, hope your family is doing fine.
Yeah, this kind of disorientation can happen to old people. My grandmother was living alone in the countryside and was very independent until the age of 85, but then one night she just walked out of her house and started walking along the road that leads to the next village (~5 km away) in the middle of winter. There was thick snow on the ground and minus C degrees outside), but she didn't put on any thick clothes and wore only slippers. Thankfully she didn't wander into the forest alone and a passing police car found her still alive and walking. But after that she couldn't be left alone anymore and had to live in a care home. Each winter there are several cases with old people wandering alone outside, getting lost and freezing to death. It's a really sad way to go.

Title: The vanishing of David Lewis
Video: Is 18 minutes long
Nexpo: David Lewis *might* just have been hiding something
I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say that David Lewis was hiding something
Nahhhh he couldnt have
Woah easy there
that is crazy! what lead you to belive such a claim...
You’re gonna have to run that one by me, I’m not sure about it
yeah obviously what are these replies lol
Such high quality content on this channel! Wish you had more videos, but I'm excited to see what you put out in the future!!
Nexpos quality has been in the up recently
It feels like an update that fits well to the context that's unique to this channel
I am rewarded for finishing my test
Nexpo uploading was my reward
Love to see it
Nice one bro
HOLY SHIT THE SAME FUCKING THING FOR ME

Hah my school doesn't have class on Fridays
The recording/sandwiches could've been done by anyone. The fact that there were two sandwiches (for his wife and kid) and his wedding ring on the table seems like a message. I don't know about you, but if I am trying to disappear for my own safety and will play dress up to try to disguise myself there's no way I'm leaving my wedding ring behind.
A serial sandwich slaughterer
Well if you leave and don’t plan on ever coming back, you’d probably leave your wedding ring.
@@puppyfeet1194 especially if ur tryna alter your appearance
I'd think just the opposite actually. Lewis likely left it to alter his appearance ever so slightly. If he didn't have his glasses on his face and just among his person when he was killed in the hit and run, it's entirely possible he used those minimally for the sake of changing his looks. If that's the case, it's always likely he left behind his wedding ring for the exact same purpose.
I'm by no means saying this is the case, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't any sort of marital strife going on nor any sort of real message either. Could be wrong though.
I agree in general, but I suspect the wedding ring was likely more than a simple band and likely would have been identifying.
Love the way you explain these cases Nexpo. Been a huge fan of yours for a while 😌
you're a huge inspiration to me and my tiny lil horror channel, just wanted to say thank you 🦇🦇🦇 much love 🤍
Love these visuals!!! They really ad to the story!
Jodi Huisentruit, a famous news anchor from my hometown went missing and still has yet to be discovered. It happened in 1995 and there are a lot of sketchy things that were involved like her ex boyfriend, cops tampering, missing evidence and no one has done a story on it. It could be an extremely interesting topic for you to look over. Great video as always man!
I remember that case I hope eventually it can be solved :(
Oh that's right!! I forgot about cops story. Weird!
Yea please do this
It's stranger than that: 84 pages of her diary anonymously sent to a news outlet by a woman found to be the wife of the ex-police chief, vandalized billboard searching for her with words "machine shed" painted on it name dropping a former police investigator who may have been involved, reports that in the weeks before her dissappearance she felt unsafe as she felt she had a stalker. There's more to it than even this. Hope an answer is found soon.
@@aliensporebomb holy Shit I didn’t know that
There is an exabit at "The Haunted Museum" here in Las Vegas that is a very strange case. Little is known because the persons family covered everything up for religious reasons. Her name was Lee Sober Shapiro, one of the inventers of sprit boxes (ghost hunting equipment). I would be extremely surprised if you dug more up on her. This women has baffled many for years leaving behind a dairy and 4 strange polaroid photos before the time of her estimated death. I would love to see your take on this case, this case is extremely depicted as paranormal but there could be some worldly expiation of her death.
Email him, he'll likely see it.
That's Ben Shapiro's great aunt. He once DESTROYED HER WITH FACTS AND LOGIC.
...
@James Schmidt hes in my crib
You are right. It is extremely hard to dig up something on her. Just a few photos and that is all. Very little on Google too. I heard that the polaroids depicted her last moments as spirits were sucking the soul out of her body. Creepy stuff.
these are so well made its crazy!!!!
The quality of this video is amazing!
This topic was covered on reddit around a year ago. I’ll copy paste my findings from there.
Late to the post and this might be burried, but it's worth a mention. In 1993 there were no direct flights from L.A. to Amarillo, or vice versa. If you wanted to get there, you had to take a flight from Dallas to get there. The kicker here and the thing that sticks out to me for some odd reason is the tape recorder recording the Superbowl. The Superbowl of 1993 took place in Pasadena, California. In 1993 you got there by flying into the L.A. airport. It's important, however, to note that the flights are coming from the location of the Superbowl to the spot he was officially last seen.
Isn't it odd that the weekend that the Superbowl happened, his wife and daughter just happened to leave? It might be anecdotal, but I don't think it is. He could have pushed for that to happen, or he could have seen this as an opportunity.
It is mentioned he was going expose something involving a case of conflict of interest between his old law firm and a very wealthy client. Who often attends big events like Superbowls and fly out the same night or the day after? The super-wealthy. Could it be possible that a meeting was arranged between the wealthy client and him for the very next week? He was deposited $5,000 dollars the day he bought the first ticket. I think it's very likely that he was flying someone to him, not vice versa. His car was found at the county records building, which further leads to some meeting of judicial nature. He never returned to his car evidently, yet he's found dead 1600 miles away stumbling down a highway with a Camaro speeding away. Now who could easily afford a Camaro in 1993, the year Gen-4 of Camaro was released, not exactly a luxury car, but a car that a very wealthy person might mistake as "clandestine."
It might be helpful to find out what kind of tickets were bought, ie: first class? Other useful information to support this theory would to check for any private departures leaving the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (built in 1942) that weekend. Plane travel is the only viable explanation for 1600 miles of travel in a short time period.
Some people suspect suicide or an "accidental hit and run", but I think foul play should still be on the table for a case like this. There are too many indicators.
TL;DR: I think he was killed by the very wealthy man discussed earlier. The law firm is a primary suspect as well.
@TwoFace Good stuff, man! Reddit often uncovers a lot more than youtubers. I wonder why there’s nothing about investigations into the rich client or the law firm. I suspect that the truth was discovered, but for whatever reason remains undisclosed.
This is all relevant info. And the $5k in his account is not that much for a lawyer worth his or her salt. An average retainer for a non-partner attorney in any major city in the early to mid 1990s could be $2500 or $300 per hour. Beyond that, it seems quite odd that he would be taking pictures of his own vehicle.
I'm not convinced the hit-and-run is a big deal. It was a dark night in a very rural and remote location, on an unlit road with no pavement. It is perfectly possible that the hit-and-run was a genuine accident and the driver just sped off in a panic when the other car arrived. Perhaps the Camaro driver was DUI?
But that doesn't answer the question of why this Texas lawyer was walking along a Washington highway at 10:30pm wearing camouflage attire. What was he doing and where was he going? If he was in the state under an assumed name you'd think he might have just booked a sketchy motel room somewhere, why be out at that time of night?
@@TheShattenjager The wealthy individual obviously has some "connections" same for the law firm.
I'd David felt unsafe he obviously stumbled upon something he wasn't supposed to know.
Wonder if this wealthy client is an household name in the US?

Dude. The editing in this video is top notch! It was immediately a noticeable change in style and I love the more visually-stimulating storytelling! I wish you luck with this type of style for the future! It has huge potential!

I don’t really know editing styles besides just posting up but I like this. It’s distinguishable from other peoples editing. If I was shown editing from this video and before this I would definitely know who this is.

I just wanted to say how amazing this video was, and how much I appreciate all the hard work that went into it. Your videos are always great, but this was next level. I love that you're learning 3D to add even more to your videos, and as someone that has a background in 3D modelling AND video editing myself, I know how much work it is. You did awesome with this, and I can't wait to see more as your skills improve!
Hi there I would love to hire you please send me a reply
This video was really well made! I don’t watch many videos on unsolved mysteries on UA-cam as they’re usually conspiracy theory rubbish that doesn’t properly cover the topic and is covered in clickbait, but I watched this video and it was really good. I love the 3D artwork you made and your delivery is good, the only complaint I have is that occasionally the transition to the next audio took a few seconds between chapters but that’s a nitpick and I think it was deliberate anyway.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content, great work!
Yea - its crazy tbh. Theres SO, so many situations like this which are mysterious and fascinating, why do all of these channels have to take situations with completely plausible solutions and fabricate a conspiracy behind them? The truth of situations like this one are so crazy on their own
In case anyone is wondering, the Cowboys won that game. lol

It’s something about your intro that gives me goosebumps. It literally excites me and freak me out at the same time..
love the new format and graphics
Say it with me now :
"I shouldn't be watching Nexpo before going to bed"
FOOL THAT"S WHY I WAITED UNTIL MORNING. MY POWER IS IMMENSE.
Lies, I live to watch Nexpo in the dark of night
say it with me now:
“i did not go to bed, now it’s 7:00am an i’m sleepy”
I shouldn’t be watching nexpo when it is already 5.29am..and I went to bed 7 hours ago, and I’m still awake because...just one more video...
But that's the perfect time...
Here’s my theory: I think he purposefully abandoned his life. Maybe because of the threat he mentioned, or because he was just unhappy idk. I think the money transferred to his account was either from his employer, or the mysterious threat payed him to disappear. I think he purposefully made turkey sandwiches and left all his stuff behind to make everything look normal, so he could have more time to get away. I can’t really find any other way to explain this case
That would explain why he took photos of his car. Maybe he wanted to shoot someone who was spying on him?
I was thinking the same thing at first... but I think that it's more complicated than that. I believe it had to do with foul play, he was working on exposing someone quite important with another wealthy client that he was actually going to meet. Someone came after him
They never really mentioned that he was unhappy with his life though. I think it's more because of the threat on his life.
Perhaps he found some sort of secret sex machine that can teleport you to any imaginable place and has the ability to literally turn your poop into half pennies. Then he went back in time and started eating enourmous meals and then speeding up time by one hour until he had billions of half pennies. Then he took his sacks of half pennies and then kept having children and having them invent a machine that can put pennies back together and once he did that he destroyed his time machine after returning to the very first day man created fire and now he is stuck there.
I believe that he did some of those extra things to throw investigators off the case. Because for all we know, the lawyers may have been in bed with the authorities, so he preformed extra steps. I don't believe anyone was actually meeting him.
Really loved the animations! It really brings the video to life
For some reason every time I watch his videos I wanna fall asleep to this guys voice there’s these videos are so dang interesting.every time i do I get lulled to sleep. Keep up the great work nexpo
