Starting point is 00:01:23 That's right. Okay. on the other mixed group? Is this recording? That's right. There you go. Let's go. Okay. Cool. Okay. Well, thank you for meeting me, obviously. I completely understand your hesitation.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I mean, as with anybody else's, to be honest. Yeah. Your name is just central in this. I know. For whatever reason, I think that by telling your story in its entirety, it can help us find out what happened, you know? From Tinderfoot TV in Atlanta, this is Up and Vanished. I'm your host, Payne Lindsey. Why do you think that your name got brought into it in the first place? Because of Paul.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I think he said stuff to Kim. Because of, now I think about it, yeah. Because he said, you know, I knew more than I knew. Or I was saying, but I didn't. And he knew that, but he was the only one who knew that I didn't know and he knew that in his gut in his heart why would he say something like that because either he was jealous not like a boyfriend and girlfriend type of way or either he I don't know either he wanted to set me up that's what I keep thinking it is back then like just weeks after it happened, you did make a few different
Starting point is 00:03:25 posts and stuff saying that Paul was trying to set you up. Where did that idea come from? Weezy Emerson, Louise Emerson told me that. Who's that? She was my best friend and she used to live with me out there at the trailer until her and Paul started messing around. I stopped by her house one day, and I said I wanted to know if she knew anything that was going on. And she said she knew a lot. And I said, well, get in and go smoke a bowl. And so we went up by Durham on Durham Road, and we sat there.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And she started telling me that Paul and Loxie and Sam were all involved that they were setting me up that they sold Ashley to the Mexicans for some kind of bill and so I was like like thinking you know at that point I mean people were telling me some really messed up shit and I would go with it and I just told her you know I don't want to be your friend anymore, and I'm sorry, you know. And she came out, gave me a hug and everything, tried to give Paul a hug, and he wouldn't have it. And I just said, you know, I don't know who's lying to me or not, but, you know. And I didn't try to beat her up or nothing. I just told her that's it.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Cody Grounds told me that she was up in the mountains with the Mexicans and that she was okay. And I went up there, and I looked like a damn idiot because I called the cops and everything too and I didn't find anybody so you went to the mountains to look for her where Cody Grounds told me she they were I mean I ended up seeing Cody Grounds a year later and asked her why she did that and she said she didn't know she was really high I I seen her in jail. But people were telling, I mean, I had people telling me stuff like that. And then I had people telling me just to leave it alone. And I was like, I can. That's a lot of names, rumors, and speculation. None of which I've been able to actually verify.
Starting point is 00:05:21 But I'm listening. Let's get more into it. been able to actually verify, but I'm listening. Let's get more into it. I have a really bad reputation of beating up girls over my guys. Can you give me an example? When I was with Austin Mancha, I busted Shanelle's jaw with a pair of brass knuckles in front of a C-store. But it wasn't over really Austin at that time. It was over her snitching. And so I drug her across the parking lot until Red Cloud came and stopped me. He was working there.
Starting point is 00:06:09 She didn't tell on me, though. She said that she didn't know who did it. And, yeah, I was shocked. And that, I don't know why they didn't look on the cameras. I mean, I was right there. I don't know if Red Cloud got rid of it or what. But, yeah, she had a big mouth. And then the second time I seen her was over Austin.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I caught her in the pickup with him, and I didn't hurt her this time because she was already screaming bloody murder. So I was pretty drunk, too, and he was like, you know, we're all going to get our ass kicked now, you know, so just go with it. And she was trying to get out, and they wouldn't let her out. And so I just grabbed her by her hair and drug her to the other car, told Beaver, take your snatch and take her home. I've done a lot of talking with Sam and all kind of people since I've talked to you. It looks like Ashley definitely did leave Sam's house.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And so whatever happened to Ashley happened after that. And she did tell Sam that she was meeting Paul. Yeah. Do you know who picked her up after Sam said the divide? He said V-Dog. Did he ever ask Paul if he picked her up? Yeah, and he told me no. No?
Starting point is 00:07:22 He said that they broke up a month before. Kimberly told me a strange story about T, where she claimed that Ashley was with Paul in some motel room with blonde hair. She told me on text messages, she said, Ashley is with Paul in Venezuela in Shelby, Montana, in this hotel room in this number. She has blonde hair now.
Starting point is 00:07:43 So we called the cops, we called the FBI and the BIA, and they flew down there. The girl that's with She has blonde hair now. So we called the class, called the FBI and the BIA. When they flew down there, the girl that's with him with blonde hair, to Sheena. Maybe it was some kind of sick game that she wanted to play. I asked her about this. I want to explain that to her and be like, I'm sorry, because she thought I was trying to make up a lie and say I was her. And I was like, no, I didn't know. I was just going off what people were telling me. Cole told me that he's seen her in Shelby with blonde hair. But come to think of it, I had blonde hair, and I was the only one with Paul staying at Super 8 in Shelby.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And I didn't even think about thinking of my damn self, and I started saying, Kim, she's in Shelby, blah, blah, blah. And that's when I, that was the day I found out I was pregnant. My biggest mistake was letting him know everything about me. Him as in Paul. You're supposed to keep a little bit to yourself as a woman. Sure. You know, and he used everything against me like my beliefs
Starting point is 00:08:46 he used that and he manipulated me but I didn't care as long as I had some fat sack and drugs that's how I met him is he sold me drugs he sold me bunk what's up it's dope that's not dope and that will get you sick and kill you I stopped him and, and I threw it at him, and he took off back out of Seattle, or back to wherever. I thought he was in Seattle. Actually, he was actually living in Cupbake at the time, but I didn't know that because I didn't know him. I just thought he was someone new from out of town.
Starting point is 00:09:19 But I always made sure that I knew who was all in town because we have people dropping left and right over drugs. Yeah, I'm not doing the right thing either, but I'm making sure it's not cut. I don't cut my shit or step on it. Poison kills people. Well, he started doing that. And I caught my friend who's related to him, supposedly,
Starting point is 00:09:42 who had it, and she had one case and one case, and I grabbed her case and I fucking tossed it up in the air and just spilled it everywhere. I said, fuck that shit. She's like, oh my God, you know how much trouble I can, I said, fuck, tell him to come see me. And he did. He came and seen me and he asked if I would work for him.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And I said, don't be playing anybody. And he didn't. Tell, maybe he got me away from town he started pulling his shit I don't know like it just seemed like it was all like he planned this whole thing like it just from the very beginning it just seems so that's how it seems that's why I always say it's like a movie this person I didn't even know anything about his past until I met his daughter and that's why I always say it's like a movie. This person, I didn't even know anything about his past until I met his daughter. And that's when I got pregnant and took care of his kids while he was in prison. And I met her and she told me a lot that he never mentioned.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Told me that they used to do crack cocaine, have parties in their houses, and tell maybe the girls were about nine and maybe five and they start being big old gospel people who went to church all the time and sat outside no TV read the Bible I don't know and I was just like wow I've never seen that person were you ever in love with them yes yeah yeah Yeah. Yeah. In the beginning. So that probably hurt then, right? Oh, yeah. To think that, you know, a guy can end up thinking that he might be the one who did this.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And then you were with him and you have a child with him. Can you help me kind of understand why it seems like you go back and forth about whether or not Paul is involved in this? Is it because you are afraid to say that? Because he's the father of your daughter? No, yeah, I guess a little bit, but... Just so I understand. I just don't know, because I don't know who really did it. She told me that he did it.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Who? Ashley. What do you mean? When we, I talked to that guy when I connected with her. Oh, yeah, the psychic guy? Ashley. What do you mean? When we, I talked to that guy when I connected with her. Oh, yeah, the psychic guy? Yes. Tia told me in text a few days prior that she spoke to a medium about Ashley.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I don't put much stock into that stuff. But anyway, the medium told her that Paul raped and killed Ashley. She showed me the screenshots. But I know one thing, that he was really good with a nine millimeter. Ashley. She showed between the eyes. Bad with a rifle, though, but he was pretty good with a pistol. Nine millimeter. His brother has that nine millimeter now, and that would have been the gun that was used on her if he did shoot her.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Because I left that gun and all his clothes in the storage and then I just took all the drugs and the kids his clothes and came back to Browning no I stayed till um his court date and then on his court date is when his PO told me that she said what are you doing and I said I'm waiting you know I'm gonna bond him out she said you can't and I said, I'm waiting, you know, I'm going to bond him out. She said, you can't. And I said, why? I said, you're not even giving him a fair chance. She's like, I did.
Starting point is 00:13:11 He asked me to be locked up. I mean, yeah, usually people just want to get it over with just quick. Why do you want to leave your kids like that with no parents? In the last episode, I spoke to a lady named Wendy, and she said this about T. She was high, and she was just saying that, you know, she was having trouble with her boyfriend, that he keeps harassing her and kicking in the door, and she borrowed a gun. She was going to have the gun for safety.
Starting point is 00:13:44 That was just before all of this happened. Did T pick up that gun in person or did you leave it out for her? She picked it up in person. And I never did see the gun again.

Starting point is 00:15:07 Sunday, March 24th at 8 Eastern on CBC and CBC Gem. I asked T if she knew Wendy. Do you know a lady named Wendy Bird? I do. She's... I don't know her personally, but I think I know her a little bit. I've heard of her. Is that um... no. Who's that? She told me that before Ashley went missing that you had borrowed a rifle from her.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Wendy Bird. I didn't borrow any rifles. People always sold me them and they were always stolen. I had a.30-06. I had a pink butterfly rifle, .22, and then I had a shot-off shotgun.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I never had pistols, though. And then those were the, oh, and my 20, I think it was a 29, 27. It was a little gun that could take 22 bullets though, a rifle. And I could put them in there and use it. But I can't remember what kind it was, but they were all stolen. I admit that. Because one 22 ended up back into the hands of the owner. Like, when I was there and I was like, oops, it wasn't me.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Go blame Tommy Ray. She sold it to me. So he did. He already knew. So I gave it back to him. Did you borrow a rifle from Wendy? Wendy Bird. She claims that you did. No, I don't think so. No no i don't think so no i don't think so i mean if i see her face
Starting point is 00:16:50 see i you have to understand i was higher than a kite every day from the time i woke up i ate my breakfast and i smoked my bowl from the time till i went to sleep, going off. I made sure I slept though. I did not stay up for, no, she sold me a gun. She sold me a 22. Yes, I bring her some dope. She sold me a gun for dope. So why did you buy a gun from Wendy? She said she needed some dope. So I said, well, I'll give you a 50 for it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 She said, all right. So I gave her that 50. she said that you and it was a rifle that was sawed off on the back she said that you bought the gun because you needed protection from paul that too because i was just moved into um that that house that in heartview and all my guns He stole all my other guns and took them and sold them. So at that point you had no other guns? Nothing. That was the only one I had. When did Paul get rid of your guns?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Well, I couldn't take anything out of the trailer, so I had to leave everything when they removed me. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to think or say. It seems like every time I say something, I get myself in a hole. She's not wrong. I think people are just confused about where you're coming from. You know, like, they...
Starting point is 00:18:18 Because they never let me sit here and tell them where I'm coming from. I mean, I could, I've been like, ever since I've talked to you, I've been slowly recording myself on things I can remember, you know? Why didn't you do that before you met me? Because I figured nobody wanted to listen. And I never had time. I had a baby to worry about.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Since I didn't do anything, I just figured, fuck it. I'm not going to help. You guys want to sit there? Because what's the point? I could sit there and stare at you blue in the face until we got something or a confession. I'm still going to get blamed no matter how much you put this out there. Until we find out what happened to her and who did it or a confession, I'm going to sit here for the rest of my life with that hanging over me. But when I walk into Browning, it's like a witch hunt. Cops are all over me.
Starting point is 00:19:15 It sucks. So why did you feel like you needed protection from Paul to the point where you needed to find that? Because he came into my house one night while I was sleeping and busted through my door and came into my room screaming, where's Ashley? Drunker than a cat. That was the first time I knew there is definitely something going on with him because he knew he knows I don't know where Ashley is. And that was actually the very first time before I even knew about the text. Like I knew about the text when the reporters told me that was the very first time before I even knew about the text. Like, I knew about the text when the reporters told me.
Starting point is 00:19:47 That was the very first time I started getting blamed. Which text? They showed me, or they wanted to show me, but I said no. But they said that there was a text that, even on the video of ABC News, that I knew more than I was saying. Yeah. That he texted Kim that, so. And I was just like, that's when I didn't believe him anymore,
Starting point is 00:20:10 and I knew he was lying. Around what time was this? 2018 or 17, the end of 2017, around in November. I just got my house in Whitefish, and ABC News came up there and recorded me, or whatever the fuck they did, got their story. around in November, I just got my house in Whitefish. And ABC News came up there and recorded me, or whatever the fuck they did, got their story. Cause I thought it was to, you know, let me tell my side or whatever,
Starting point is 00:20:37 but they just took out certain clips and put my photo shot or mug shot in there and made me look like I was a bad person. I told you I owned a bunch of guns, but so did Paul. Paul owned machine guns. He owned a.25. You know what a.25 is? It's one of the loudest rifles in the world. It's like an elephant gun. And I had no idea where he got that from,
Starting point is 00:21:06 but when it shot it was like a boom, bang. I bought that gun after Ashley went missing. Like maybe in August or September is when I got that gun. God, I haven't heard of Wendy. The reason why I don't talk to Wendy and why she don't talk to me is because her son threatened to kill my daughter. And she's mad because I had Pat and all my brothers get ready to hurt Austin. Because my daughter and my son is in that family. She's just the beginning of it. I don't see her stepping up. I don't know why she isn't, but she says she has a warrant in Idaho so she can't go see my brother Pat. My brother Pat wants me to go there, but I can't right now.
Starting point is 00:21:56 What do you know about this? I showed T a screenshot on my phone. Remember Vernon's girlfriend Rosie, who sent Ashley's cousin a message on Facebook that said, I had part in her murder? Rosie told me in person that it wasn't her who sent that message and that she was probably hacked. I wanted T's thoughts on this whole thing. I've seen that too.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I've seen that. I absolutely seen that. Why would she say that? I don't know. I've seen that and hey, those came to me and was asking to send you. I don't know. I don't know what this was. I've seen that though. It came to me too.
Starting point is 00:22:41 What do you mean it came to you too? In a forward. This little thing went all over. That screenshot? Yes. Why would Rosie say that? I don't know. I mean, really, I don't know Rosie.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I don't. I know Rosie, maybe to take up for Paul. I don't know. I don't think she would say that. Does she know Paul at that? Yeah. That's her cousin. It's like her third cousin why would she say why would she implicate herself i don't think she's really foolish right i don't think she did i think
Starting point is 00:23:12 vernon might have did it i mean yeah vernon and her had their ups and downs they still do why would vernon do it though maybe to hurt her or either paul got her phone she sold it to him and maybe he did that I don't know I always wondered that too did you ever try to talk to her? yeah and what did she say? she said she has no idea how that happened because I was wondering too I've seen it too I've seen that
Starting point is 00:23:38 she claims that she did not send that and so I don't think I would send anything like that either would you? if you had a part in a murder i wouldn't think so the way i see it now it's like based on all the facts paul was going to pick her up and you know presumably that happened at some point because she's not there anymore yeah i think whoever did it if they regretted, they would let some type of emotion out then. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:24:10 Like emotion of a cry. At least say something. But if it was Paul, maybe he wouldn't let an emotion out. Well, Paul hasn't talked to anybody. Yeah, because he's a narcissistic sociopath. The way I see it is the only way out for you the cleanest way out is to help you is to help me and if we're over here like okay you didn't do it sam didn't do it uh paul's the only one not talking and she says it she said that's him
Starting point is 00:24:43 that's how i believe it i believe that she wasn't, that that wasn't Paul talking on the Facebook. I believe that was her telling me everything. That he did it. That he shot her and raped her. Raped her and shot her. I just don't understand when. So, I mean, where do you think that we go from here? How do we get out of the standstill of you being stuck in the vortex of people in the community blaming you?
Starting point is 00:25:16 How do we prove that you didn't do it? Or how do we get to the truth? I don't know. I ask for another reading or something to have her tell me where she is, or either tell me what, like, something where we can find her or Leo. I don't know. That's the only thing. That was my last, last thing I could do, because I was running out of answers.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Because I have multiple things popping in my head that could have happened. She's referring again to what the medium told her. Help CAMH build a future where no one is left behind. together and show those living with mental illness and addiction that they're not alone. Help CAMH build a future where no one is left behind. So, who will you rise for? Register today at sunrisechallenge.ca. That's sunrisechallenge.ca. Hi there, my name is Alameen Abdul-Mahmood. I am the host of the CBC Podcast Commotion. That's a show where we talk about all things pop culture we talk about what people are watching what people are listening to we get into everything from celebrity beefs to tiktok trends and look we're not afraid to get a little controversial we're talking about things like the oscar snubs or is drake really a hip-hop artist commotion with elamin abdul-mahmoud, available now on Spotify.
Starting point is 00:26:50 A few years ago, ABC ran a story on Ashley, and T was interviewed in that piece. She brings it up a lot. Apparently she's mad about how they portrayed her. During that time period, Paul was in prison, so the ABC producers wrote him. Paul told ABC News in a letter that he could, quote, reveal who did all this to Ashley.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Trust me, I'm the only one who can. But he'd only tell them if they moved him prisons, which they obviously didn't do. But why is Paul saying stuff like this? I asked T about it. Why do you think Paul told ABC that he knows what happened to Ashley? Because maybe he knows what happened to her. But he probably didn't realize he was saying it.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Or maybe that's part of him setting me up. I don't know. He typed it out. He probably thought about it more since it... I've seen that. I've seen that. He told me when I asked him why he said that, that they typed it out. ABC News did that to him. And that ABC News is lying about him
Starting point is 00:27:48 saying that I knew more than I was saying. He said that they were lying. But I knew they weren't. I'm not dumb. I'm like, yeah, they're lying for you? No. I mean, what does that tell you? If you didn't do it, then why is Paul toying with everybody? Maybe he... To me, Paul is a type that wants to be on top of the world, and nobody can touch him. And he wants to make sure everybody knows that. I could touch him, though.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I wasn't afraid of him. He's held guns to my head. I've held guns to his head. I've held guns to his head. I've beat him up multiple times. And he's held me down, but he's never punched me, maybe pushed me, but never physically hurt me.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I beat that man pretty bad. Because he was a fucking punk. Because you don't go and emotionally fuck with someone's head like what he did to mine i would rather be fucking punched in the face than what i went through with him i mean it would have been 10 times better i wouldn't be all fucked up like i am now i wouldn't have to go to counseling and have counselors be so scared they don't want to counsel me because they're scared of Paul.
Starting point is 00:29:06 How do I get Paul to talk? I don't know. Wendy, who I spoke to in the last episode, also told me about a new Cadillac car that T had. She said that after Ashley went missing, T had that car crushed by her friend. My friend, he hauls cars and crushes them. She was determined to have him get that car out of there and crush it. That's what he did is he just kind of went around and picked up cars and crushed them
Starting point is 00:29:34 and got paid for it. He got the car and crushed it. I don't know where he took it to. The man who allegedly crushed the car is named Kelly. I asked he about this. Do you know a guy named Kelly Gallino? Yes, I do. Who is that guy? Kelly Gallino was a good friend of mine before Ashley went missing. And you were not friends afterwards? Nope, not really.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Because he was the first one I asked if he knew, if he knew about Ashley and Paul, and he did. He did what? He knew about Ashley and Paul and didn't tell me when I pretty much took care of him. I mean, did that hurt? It's hard to believe that you think that people are close to you, but really, you gotta start listening to the whys and they're not there for you.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I mean, some people aren't, but some people... The only one who's there, the one who stood by my side through this whole thing is Darcy Gallineau. She helped me, took care of me while I was pregnant and when Paul was getting me sick. What did Kelly do for a living? He worked on cars. Did he crush cars? No, but he did have my car.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Okay, he was supposed to fix mine. I had a black HHR. That went missing when Ashley went missing. And he said that Paul and Clay went and took it. Clay is one of Paul's friends. It was a black, brand new HHR, and the only thing that was wrong with it was the wiring, so the security got locked out of it.
Starting point is 00:31:19 But Paul took it from me, and he gave it to, or I bring it to him to have him fix it, and then he said that Clay and them took it from me and he gave it to or i bring it to him to have him fix it and then he said that clay and them took it and i don't know what they did with it i was told that you had kelly crushing no i did not really yeah no he because i was going to call the cops on Kelly. And he said, no, Clayton and them came and got it, and they took it to Great Falls. Paul told me he sold it to a guy in Great Falls. So what happened to that car? I don't know. And it has my plates on it, too.
Starting point is 00:31:55 What happened to Ashley and my car? I thought you said that Kelly crushed it, though. He didn't crush it. I said he was going to fix it. Yeah, but you said, I thought, Paul. No, Paul, he said Paul took it. Him and Clay came and loaded it up. And Paul told me that he sold it to someone in Great Falls.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And that's the last thing I ever knew about that car. But it always dawned on my head, well, my car's gone and Ashley's gone. Why would Paul have any business taking your car? Do you know where Browning is? He bought that car for me. But it was in my name. Because I wasn't going to let him buy anything for me that he could take, which I thought... I was married to him. So every time I stole his truck, nobody could do anything about it.
Starting point is 00:32:47 But I bring it up to Kenny Perdue. Yeah, my car's gone too, so. And I don't know why he has it bring it up. Oh, maybe because he slept with me. He had sex with me after he told me that. That's probably why. Okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:03 He took advantage of me i know there's a lot of names here but stay with me she's talking about a sexual relationship she had with a man named kenny berdu who's a blackfeet police officer kimberly had mentioned this to me before the first person she called was an officer, the officer Badu. He worked for BLES, the Blackfeet Law Enforcement. It was on speakerphone, and it said, you reached officer Badu. And then right then and there, he called back. He said, don't worry, don't worry, it's not about Ashley.
Starting point is 00:33:41 At that time, we weren't able to get a hold of any officer because nobody would answer our phone calls. But for them to call back a suspect right away, there's a reason why we have all these protests with these law enforcement. He shouldn't even be a cop still, but he is. Do you see how it could look from one point of view He may be a cop still, but he is. Not according to Wendy. At this point, four years later,
Starting point is 00:34:27 all we can really look at are just the facts, right? Yeah. Facts are Sam took her to the Divide and... Paul made it back from Seattle that fast? I don't know. Like, I don't think. What do you mean, that fast? From me getting dropped off maybe around... When he dropped you off? About 6, 5.30 in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:34:46 On what day though? On the 10th. See, this is on the 11th. Yeah, but he dropped me off. Do you think he could have got back there that fast in the morning all the way to Divide? If he did, he would have had to take just straight through, but... I mean, even if he didn't come back, it sounds like he was at least planning on it. Yeah. Somebody picked her up.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Well, he came back, too, because he never came after me. And he didn't call me or let me talk to him until the next morning when I asked if, you know, are you going to come get me? And he just kept saying no and hanging up. When were you in Seattle? He just kept saying no and hanging up, so. When were you in Seattle? I was in Seattle on the 10th is when I got left there until either the 16th or 17th. This is very important information here.
Starting point is 00:35:39 T says that Paul left her in Seattle on June 10th. Sam said he dropped Ashley off at Divide to be picked up by Paul on June 11th. This is T's alibi, if it all checks out. That's for sure. So it's like, from my point of view, it's like either Paul did it or you guys did it together. Yeah. And so... Catherine Goodlock, I stayed with her on the 10th. And then I stayed at Jamie Valenzuela's that night. That's where I was on the 10th.
Starting point is 00:36:21 That's where I was on the 10th. If this person can vouch for T being in Seattle those days, it would at least bring a little more credence to her story. Do you mind calling that friend of yours that you were with in Seattle? Okay. Hello? Hey, Catherine. Hey, Catherine. Hey, T.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I have the investigator here with me, and he wants to talk to you about the night I seen you at Emerald Downs when Paul left me. Okay.
