We're back for episode 18, after a bit of a hiatus. We're doing everything we can to find the missing Sharethetruth children, including making efforts to get the community involved in the search. We hear from two people very closely affected by the abduction of the missing teens. And while we assess new leads we've received, Sharethetruth makes some violent moves. We've come to expect violent acts from Sharethetruth, but now they're showing they're capable of much more drastic measures than ever before. Will our community come together to stop them?http://www.sporadicphantoms.comSound attributions:CO.AGMUSIC: "The Truth" - Artem GrebenshchikovWebsite: https://www.argsound.comYouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOiiYoutube Audio LibraryiPhone Sound effects by https://picturetosound.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt2ZH6WzVKzW2xcVFVepx0AAMBEmrg_Crime Scene.Designed.Arrival Of Police.Sirens.Radio.City Noise.Barking Dogs.Footsteps_EM.mp3 – newlocknew - https://freesound.org/s/692480/Car Explosion w Debris.mp3 by PNMCarrieRailfan -- https://freesound.org/s/682062/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0Door Slam.MP3 by FunWithSound -- https://freesound.org/s/361167/ -- License: Attribution 4.0Intense Breaking by Steve Oxen - https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/Just Breaking by David Fesliyan - https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/M1A2 Abrams Accelerating.wav by flyguy85 -- https://freesound.org/s/156919/ -- License: Attribution 3.0vroom.wav by alister667 -- https://freesound.org/s/11704/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 3.0

The aftermath of the Mid Town Bio Services attack was devastating. But there's a silver lining- with the help of forensic analysis, Sharethetruth's identities have been found. And people are starting to notice there are a lot of strange animal related attacks happening in Santa Barbara. But some people might be taking what they hear a little too far. And as we focus on finding Sharethetruth's location, an unfortunate development comes to light that hits a little too close to home. http://www.sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: CO.AG Youtube Audio Library The Fantastical Ferret / Tim Kulig / timkulig.com Measured Paces by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100164 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ AMBEmrg_Crime Scene.Designed.Arrival Of Police.Sirens.Radio.City Noise.Barking Dogs.Footsteps_EM.mp3 – newlocknew - https://freesound.org/s/692480/ apartment_door_open_squeak_slam.wav – magedu - https://freesound.org/s/341537/ Barn Door creek.aif - MAJ061785 - https://freesound.org/s/85509/ Birds from the forest between the fields.wav - dibko https://freesound.org/s/622996/ car explosion w debris.mp3 - PNMCarrieRailFan - https://freesound.org/s/682062/ cloth flaps – Sauron974 - https://freesound.org/s/188733/ Crushing dried flower petals.wav - deolandredejager - https://freesound.org/s/542962/ Jet airplane take off with strong ground whoosh - SoundsnapFX - https://freesound.org/s/583961/ light switch_off.wav – sjturia - https://freesound.org/s/370909/ Open and close drawer.mp3 – daawesomeprieto - https://freesound.org/s/662069/ outdoors forest footsteps running jogging rustle.wav - bulbastre - https://freesound.org/s/126972/ Pulling Out Chair.wav – beticbert - https://freesound.org/s/533960/ RBH_Household_drawer 05.wav – RHumphries - https://freesound.org/s/1012/ Sitting up and down on office chair.wav - PapaJelly - https://freesound.org/s/542763/

We know we can attempt to pursue old loose threads in the investigation, but some recent tips we've received from our hotline appear to describe a more immediate issue. Deciding to follow the tips, we take the investigation outside of Santa Barbara for the first time. Could Sharethetruth be expanding their ranks? Can we finally catch them with the help of our listeners? http://www.sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: Youtube Audio Library CO.AG Go Beyond Slow - https://www.FesliyanStudios.com MUSIC: "The Truth" - Artem Grebenshchikov Website: https://www.argsound.com YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOii Barn Door creek.aif by MAJ061785 -- https://freesound.org/s/85509/ basement room-tone 1634PM 220811_0491.wav - klankbeeld - https://freesound.org/s/674158/ Birds from the forest between the fields.wav by dibko -- https://freesound.org/s/622996/ Cyberzap - copyc4t - https://freesound.org/s/528406/ Door opening and closing 1 - JakLocke - https://freesound.org/s/261091/ going_to_bed/waking_from_nightmare.wav - Vinci7 - https://freesound.org/s/451258/ Footsteps walking on asphalt HQ sound effects - Everyday Cinematic Sounds - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLo4jmblu3E Jet airplane take off with strong ground whoosh - SoundsnapFX - https://freesound.org/s/583961/ outdoors forest footsteps running jogging rustle.wav by bulbastre -- https://freesound.org/s/126972/ rattle, shake, vibrate - Darius Kedros - https://freesound.org/s/276858/ Seagull sounds - Friendly Free Sounds - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSyUF1X_5dA Sitting up and down on office chair.wav - PapaJelly - https://freesound.org/s/542763/ Stand up from chair - kupp2 - https://freesound.org/s/360454/ TF_Power-Tools.flac - copyc4t - https://freesound.org/s/235737/

After our initial investigation of the Greene Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, we watch the video surveillance footage we received, and find something very unexpected had taken place when we weren't looking. From there, things take a turn, as a local incident appears to possibly have ties with Sharethetruth activity, and persons of interest- and we end up following a new path.http://www.sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: Youtube Audio Library CO.AG Bustin Loose by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://audionautix.com/ Just Breaking - https://www.FesliyanStudios.com Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com basement room-tone 1634PM 220811_0491.wav - klankbeeld - https://freesound.org/s/674158/ car inside ambience - 150237_Matthys - https://freesound.org/s/324474/ Cartoon_Punch_04.wav - RSilveira_88 - https://freesound.org/s/216198/Cartoon_Punch_02.wav - RSilveira_88 - https://freesound.org/s/216200/ Cricket Ambience, Remix, A - Moulaythami - https://freesound.org/s/536930/Door opening and closing 1 - JakLocke - https://freesound.org/s/261091/ eat biscuit (cookie) - cupido-1 - https://freesound.org/s/607301/Interior car windows rolled up - cassssi - https://freesound.org/s/329585/PLANT FOLIAGE RUSTLE FOLEY MOVES - BathroomCrooner - https://freesound.org/s/242547/Plastic bag opened up and pack of cookies taken out.wav - Jack-Freedom5712 - https://freesound.org/s/365165/Pulling Out Chair.wav - beticbert - https://freesound.org/s/533960/rings.wav - genviou - https://freesound.org/s/39061/ shuffling papers 1.wav - paulmessier - https://freesound.org/s/264876/ Sitting up and down on office chair.wav - PapaJelly - https://freesound.org/s/542763/slow-walk-on-wooden-floor - CosmicEmbers - https://freesound.org/s/161417/Stand up from chair - kupp2 - https://freesound.org/s/360454/Suburban backyard late afternoon ambience edit.wav - RobinBarnard - https://freesound.org/s/593567/

After facing a dangerous incident on the highway, we come to grips with Sharethetruth's unusual tactics. We then follow our lead to investigate the Greene Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. There could be a number of ways to go about it, but we think checking their security capabilities is a promising one. If anything amiss is happening at the clinic, would it be caught by surveillance? Or, could we just run into it? http://www.sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: Youtube Audio Library CO.AG MUSIC: "The Truth" - Artem Grebenshchikov Website: https://www.argsound.com YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOii Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com AMBEmrg_Crime Scene.Designed.Arrival Of Police.Sirens.Radio.City Noise.Barking Dogs_EM.mp3 - newlocknew - https://freesound.org/s/692481/ apartment_door_open_squeak_slam.wav - magedu - https://freesound.org/s/341537/ Barn Door creek.aif - MAJ061785 - https://freesound.org/s/85509/ basement room-tone 1634PM 220811_0491.wav - klankbeeld - https://freesound.org/s/674158/ Birds In A Cage On Antibiotics.wav - Angel_Perez_Grandi - https://freesound.org/s/52166/ Car Door.wav - Tianve8 - https://freesound.org/s/437502/ car inside ambience - 150237_Matthys - https://freesound.org/s/324474/ Car Power Windows - Theshaggyfreak - https://freesound.org/s/276274/ Car start and stop - botha9johann - https://freesound.org/s/326052/ car window roll down - scriotxstudios- https://freesound.org/s/354003/ Cricket Ambience, Remix, A - Moulaythami - https://freesound.org/s/536930/ doorbell.wav - sjturia - https://freesound.org/s/370919/ Footsteps Walking on Asphalt | HQ Sound Effects - https://www.youtube.com/@everydaycinematicsounds Interior car windows rolled up - cassssi - https://freesound.org/s/329585/ iPhone typing on keyboard - Picture to Sound - https://picturetosound.com/en/a/26/iphone-typing-on-keyboard light switch_off.wav - sjturia - https://freesound.org/s/370909/ PLANT FOLIAGE RUSTLE FOLEY MOVES - BathroomCrooner - https://freesound.org/s/242547/ pull_chain_switch_02.wav - joedeshon - https://freesound.org/s/145804/ rings.wav - genviou - https://freesound.org/s/39061/ slow-walk-on-wooden-floor - CosmicEmbers - https://freesound.org/s/161417/ Walking on Grass - DJ Sound FX - www.youtube.com/@djsoundfx3101

In episode 13, we cover the events of the day of our interview with Kyle's parents. And, taking decisive action, we find ourselves somewhere unexpected, where we have a run in with a familiar face. Where this all leaves us adds to our list of questions, but it might have just brought us a step closer to Sharethetruth and Kyle. sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: Youtube Audio Library CO.AG MUSIC: "Main Question" - Artem Grebenshchikov Website: https://www.argsound.com YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOii It’s In The Fog by Darren-Curtis | https://soundcloud.com/desperate-measurez Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com AMBEmrg_Crime Scene.Designed.Arrival Of Police.Sirens.Radio.City Noise.Barking Dogs_EM.mp3 - newlocknew - https://freesound.org/s/692481/ Battle Ship by Hot_Dopecar inside ambience - 150237_Matthys - https://freesound.org/s/324474/ Car Power Windows - theshaggyfreak - https://freesound.org/s/276274/ car window roll down - scriotxstudios - https://freesound.org/s/354003/ City Ambience Exterior Cars Passing By [unedited].wav - THPSounds - https://freesound.org/s/387313/ Footsteps on gravel - Joozz - https://freesound.org/s/531952/ Footsteps Walking on Asphalt | HQ Sound Effects - https://www.youtube.com/@everydaycinematicsounds rings.wav - genviou - https://freesound.org/s/39061/ Sound effects by https://picturetosound.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt2ZH6WzVKzW2xcVFVepx0A V8 Engine Start Up and Revving | HQ Sound Effects - https://www.youtube.com/@everydaycinematicsounds Windy field ambience with insects and distant traffic.wav - louismay1 - https://freesound.org/s/352859/

In the first episode of Season 2, we're back to continue the investigation, but everything has changed. We need to give our audience important information so they can know how they can help us, and we realize we just might have a way to help bring Kyle back to us. sporadicphantoms.com Sound attributions: Youtube Audio Library CO.AG Credit: https://www.FesliyanStudios.com Background Music MUSIC: "Monitoring" - Artem Grebenshchikov Website: https://www.argsound.com YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOii MUSIC: "The Truth" - Artem Grebenshchikov Website: https://www.argsound.com YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2UrSOii Ambience of a street with a nearby highway.wav - louismay1 - https://freesound.org/s/352861/ rings.wav - genviou - https://freesound.org/s/39061/

Fear is a tool. In season two of Sporadic Phantoms, we set out to find the identities of the elusive and dangerous hacker group ShareTheTruth. And what exactly happened to Kyle, Nancy, and Elizabeth? Where are they? Are they all still alive? Are they wrapped up in a cyberterrorist organization? Can any of them potentially lead us to ShareTheTruth? How much of a threat is ShareTheTruth, not only to The Sharing, but to maybe even you? The police can only do so much in this case. That’s why we will also need the help of our listeners. Keep an eye on our website, sporadicphantoms.com, for further announcements, information, and documents regarding season two. New episodes coming starting October 2023.

Finally, we know the truth. Sporadic Phantoms are joined by Nicole, Hedrick Chapman, and Richard Dolon in our new studio to thoroughly explain the connections between Elizabeth Li, Kyle Stephenson, and Sharethetruth, how they affected The Sharing, and what exactly was going on during Kyle's livestream. What started in suspicion and paranoia ends in teamwork and togetherness. And a new chapter of the investigation opens.

Making it available here is simply to show how Kyle has attempted to discredit us and our investigation, through altered audio that is not based in reality. Vandalism of the studio did happen, but clearly as a form of revenge for us kicking him out. We want to believe our listeners have the wherewithal to not be persuaded by such an egregious fabrication. Still it's important that you are able to hear this, so you will have context for what we will discuss next episode. We have nothing to hide.
