Trying to figure out what to air in this podcast is a constant
tightrope walk. I have to sift through the myriad of rumors to find
the truth. I don’t want this to be the audio equivalent of a Topix
discussion board. But sometimes you have to put unsubstantiated
stories out there to get people to come out with the truth.
I am constantly having to keep law enforcement’s best interest
in mind. Which is a guessing game because I am not in communication
with them. The last thing I want to do is be a hinderance to the
investigation of the disappearance of Cayce McDaniel.
And then there is the family. These are real people, and here
I am putting things out in a public forum that sometimes, are not
the most flattering. I gain no pleasure whatsoever in talking about
people’s private lives. But in order to find answers, this is a
necessary evil.
And after the Mr. X episode, I thought it was time to give the
family a chance to talk. Cindy has had an open invitation to speak
her mind, unedited. I’ve gotten word to her that I will just hit
record and she can say whatever she wants. But I also wanted to
give others in the family the opportunity to have a say.
And Cayce’s aunt and cousin took me up on this offer. Pam and
her son Lucas met with me in Jackson, Tennessee. I had no questions
prepared. I just came in, set up my recording equipment and told
them that they had the floor. If something came up that spawned a
question, I would ask. But otherwise, this was their time.
And they came prepared. Pam brought in a file folder
overflowing with twenty-one years of paperwork documenting all the
starts and stops.
I’m Brandon Barnett. This is Cayce’s family. And this is
Searching For Ghosts.
I’ve almost dropped this project countless times for a number
of different reasons. Lucas helped remind me as to why I started
this thing to begin with.
Pam talked about how close Cindy was with Billy Hale, from The
National Missing Children’s Locate Center. I also saw firsthand the
documents where Cindy was asking for help, with one letter
addressed to then Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist. And our
interview momentarily turned into a research session.
Then, we got back on track.
And then Pam wanted to address the Mr. X theory.
There is some hope as far as Pam is concerned with the people
on the case currently.
It is critical that people come forward who have valid
information concerning Cayce’s disappearance. Eliminating questions
is just as important as finding answers. We have to cut through the
fog.
And you know never know what kind of valuable information will
come up when you least expect it.
