Anthonette Cayedito, a 9-year-old girl from Gallup, New Mexico, went missing on April 6, 1986. Her mother, Penny Cayedito, had gone out for the night and left Anthonette and her two younger sisters with a babysitter. When Penny returned home all of her daughters were there when she fell asleep at 3am. When Penny woke up at 7am she found Anthonette missing from her bed. There were no signs of a struggle, but the front door and screen door were unlocked. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Anthonette's whereabouts remain unknown. In 1987, a phone call was made to the police station, believed to be from Anthonette, but the call has not been verified. Police have suggested that Penny may have known more about the disappearance than she revealed and that she failed a polygraph test, but no suspects have ever been named in this case.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito, or her whereabouts today, please call the Gallup police department at 505-863-9365

cases and missing person cases.800:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,200Hello everyone and welcome back to Cold and Missing.900:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,940I'm your host, Ali, and it'll just be me coming to you this week.1000:00:41,940 --> 00:00:46,040My wonderfully handsome co-host, Eli, is not here right now.1100:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,280I'm actually recording this kind of late, so he's already in bed.1200:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,160So I was a little behind this week as far as getting my script done on time.1300:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,720But I still wanted to bring you a new episode, and today we are on a missing person case.1400:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,080And just as a bit of a content warning, this case does involve a young person.1500:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,960Today we are talking about the missing person case of Anthonette Cayedito.1600:01:11,960 --> 00:01:17,240And this takes place in April of 1986 in Gallup, New Mexico.1700:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,800But first, a little bit about Anthonette.1800:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,640Anthonette is nine years old in 1986.1900:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,120She was born on Christmas Day 1976, and she would be 47 years old today.2000:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,880Anthonette had two younger sisters, Sadie or Sedina and Wendy.2100:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600And Anthonette doted after these two.2200:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,800They were all raised by their mother, Penny Cayedito.2300:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,880And according to her sisters, Anthonette would take care of them in a lot of ways.2400:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,800She was always dependable.2500:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,040She would feed them, iron their clothes for the week, and just kind of be2600:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,240a really incredible older sister and a wonderful daughter to her mother.2700:01:57,240 --> 00:02:03,720Anthonette at this time is four foot seven, 55 pounds, and has brown eyes with brown hair.2800:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,600She's a part of the Navajo Nation.2900:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,320Her family called her Squirrel and often commented that she was nine years old going on 15.3000:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760And now the timeline of events.3100:02:16,760 --> 00:02:24,040So on Saturday, April 5th, 1986, Penny is going out for the night with friends.3200:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,640A babysitter comes over to watch the girls while Penny has her night out on the town.3300:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,280It's reported that she's just going to a local bar.3400:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,640Even though Anthonette takes care of her sisters, her mother always left them with an adult if she3500:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,280was going to be out for an extended period of time.3600:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,240Penny returns home around midnight on Sunday, April 6th, so this would be the next day.3700:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,960She sends the babysitter home and settles in for the night.3800:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,520Anthonette, Sadie, and Wendy all have their own rooms, but they all choose to sleep in their mom's room with her.3900:02:54,520 --> 00:03:01,720So when Penny arrives home, Anthonette is woken up and her and her mother stay up chatting until around 3 a.m.4000:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120when they all finally fall asleep.4100:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000Sadie recalls that someone knocked on the front door.4200:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,720Her and Anthonette get up, but they don't recognize or respond to the man outside,4300:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040and they go back to bed.4400:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,680It's unclear how long after, but Sadie and Anthonette hear another knock on the front door.4500:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,160This time only Anthonette gets up, in her pink nightgown, and Sadie stays in bed and falls back asleep.4600:03:29,160 --> 00:03:39,960A neighbor recalled that between 6.30 and 7 a.m., she saw an older model brown truck with New Mexico license plates pull up outside of the Cayedito home.4700:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,960The neighbor saw a man approach the front door, but she didn't pay too much attention to him at that time.4800:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,720Around 7 a.m., Penny gets up and starts to wake up her daughters so they can get ready for Bible school.4900:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,160Penny notices that Anthonette is not in the bed.5000:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360She gets up and looks around the house for her.5100:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,240Nothing is missing of Anthonette's except her pink nightgown that she wore to bed.5200:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,080Her mother Penny says, quote,5300:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,320All her coats are there and her shoes are both there. I can just tell she didn't dress. End quote.5400:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,960Near the front door, there are no signs of a struggle, but both the front door and the screen door are unlocked,5500:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,560and Penny is sure that they were both locked when she went to bed.5600:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,480Penny takes Sadie and Wendy out in their PJs and begins to walk around the neighborhood5700:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,240and knock on all of the neighbor's doors to see if they have seen Anthonette or have heard anything.5800:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,960Penny finally calls the police around 11 a.m. to report Antonette missing,5900:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,520but police tell her she has to wait eight hours before she can make a report.6000:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,200Penny calls her ex, Larry Estrada, to come help search,6100:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,080and family and friends all turn up to search the neighborhood and nearby vacant land,6200:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,320but they don't turn up any clues.6300:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,760Police officially seem to get involved either late Sunday night or early Monday morning,6400:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,920but for sure by Monday, April 6th, police are searching the neighborhood.6500:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,120But it'll take around four days to search the home,6600:05:06,120 --> 00:05:12,280and by this time, a lot of family and friends have come through the home and kind of contaminated the scene.6700:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,880On Wednesday, April 9th, Antonette has been missing for three days.6800:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,000Gallup police call off their official search.6900:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,840Police say that they are awaiting further leads in her disappearance,7000:05:24,840 --> 00:05:29,800but a $500 reward is announced for any information leading to her.7100:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,840The next day, police have come up with a plan, and they are going to backtrack7200:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,200and re-question family, friends, and neighbors.7300:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360Police do say that they are getting leads,7400:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,440but they are having trouble tracking down everyone in Anthonette's life.7500:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,280Detective Danny Ross says, quote,7600:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960We have to look at it as an abduction now.7700:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,760If she had gone with someone willingly, contact would have been made by someone by now.7800:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,840We're starting at ground zero.7900:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,960End quote.8000:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,400Anthonette's parents believe that she went with someone she knew.8100:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,920Her parents are sure that she would not open the door for anyone that she didn't know.8200:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,000Anthonette's dad says, quote,8300:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000It's like she just vanished.8400:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,840It's unbelievable to me.8500:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,640You hear of kids being taken from some public place, but not from their own home.8600:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,600End quote.8700:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,000Anthonette's family has gone door to door, joined police searches,8800:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,240and distributed flyers in hopes to get some leads and clues on what.8900:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,520Happened to Anthonette.9000:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,840The next big update that I could find comes from June 22nd of 1986.9100:06:34,840 --> 00:06:40,120So Anthonette has been missing for about two and a half months at this point.9200:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,840Police are baffled by her disappearance.9300:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,480Police Chief Frank Gonzalez says, quote,9400:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,920There wasn't a trace.9500:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,600If there had been anything, we would have found something the next day.9600:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,720End quote.9700:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360Police say they have polygraphed the family,9800:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,400and it is reported that they all passed.9900:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000Now later, they will say that Penny failed her polygraph,10000:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,640but it is initially reported that all family passed the polygraph test.10100:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,840During this two and a half months, Penny gets a telephone installed in her home.10200:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840She hadn't had one prior to this,10300:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,000but she doesn't want to miss any updates or news about her daughter.10400:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,040Penny says, quote,10500:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,800I know she's alive out there.10600:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,000I just know that.10700:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,520My mother's intuition.10800:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,920I'm depending on Anthonette to get away, to somehow get a message to us.10900:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,960End quote.11000:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,800And with that, on April 12th, 1987,11100:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,880so it's been a full year now since Anthonette disappeared,11200:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,000Gallup police get a phone call to their station,11300:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,200not 911, but their non-emergency line.11400:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440The phone call is automatically recorded,11500:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,080and according to reports, there was a 40-second phone call from Anthonette.11600:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,680She identified herself as Anthonette Cayedito,11700:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,360and that she was an Albuquerque.11800:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,960As she's talking, a man curses and demands who gave her permission to use the phone.11900:07:59,960 --> 00:08:05,320Another voice is heard, possibly an older person asking who is on the line.12000:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,080More cursing from the man and a child sobbing can all be heard.12100:08:09,080 --> 00:08:17,000Now, if you research this case, you will find audio of what is supposed to be this phone call,12200:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,360it's very easy to find, you just have to type in Anthonette Cayedito 911 call or police phone call,12300:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080like it'll pop right up, it's very easy to find.12400:08:27,560 --> 00:08:35,880But I'm not entirely sure that that recording is the official recording that police released.12500:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,400For one, every example that I could find of it,12600:08:39,400 --> 00:08:45,320at the end, it all has this like music, like kind of just like generic YouTube video,12700:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,360just like generic YouTube music underneath it.12800:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,840And then it kind of sounds like a sound effect of like a line going dead, or like the dialing tone.12900:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,680But it doesn't really follow this script that is initially reported,13000:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,360like it does to a certain extent, but you don't hear another voice,13100:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,320you don't really hear more cursing, there's not a lot happening that you can hear.13200:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,320So I couldn't verify it, I couldn't find any, you know,13300:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,440newspapers or local news who played this, this clip, this audio,13400:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400and reported it as Anthonette's phone call.13500:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,200And I couldn't find any investigation agency also putting it out there.13600:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,360But we do know that in 1989, police do play the call on the radio to try to generate leads.13700:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,240So I say all that to say that it could be the phone call.13800:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,400But since I couldn't necessarily verify it, I'm not going to play it here on the podcast.13900:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,960But back to the timeline.14000:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,560So when police play the recording for Penny, she immediately believes that it is Antonette's.14100:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,720She says, quote, it was her voice.14200:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,000I would know my baby's voice anywhere, end quote.14300:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,400Penny believes that Anthonette's is alive.14400:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,680And for the people who are holding her captive, she says, quote,14500:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,080I don't think they mean to harm her.14600:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280I think they just don't know how to give her back without getting in trouble.14700:10:06,280 --> 00:10:06,840End quote.14800:10:07,400 --> 00:10:13,240In December of 1987, which should have been Anthonette's 11th birthday,14900:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,960and she's been missing for around 20 months now,15000:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,000police say that there have been sightings of Anthonette's from all over the United States.15100:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,200Police and the FBI look into these sightings and most are quickly dismissed.15200:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,200Police have been unable to rule anyone out as a suspect,15300:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,200and police do believe that some family members have not been forthcoming15400:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,600with all the information that they may know.15500:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,560Police say they are restarting the case from square one.15600:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,480Detective Amos Hinshaw says, quote, this is the third or fourth time15700:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,320we have started over at square one looking for something new, end quote.15800:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,160Sadie is now telling police that on the day that Anthonette disappeared,15900:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,680that morning hour between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m., Sadie is now saying that there was a man16000:10:58,680 --> 00:11:03,240and a woman at the door, and they ID'd themselves as an aunt and uncle.16100:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,680She says, quote, they said, hurry up, we're cold out here, open the door, end quote.16200:11:08,680 --> 00:11:14,520As I just mentioned, police do release Anthonette's phone call in January of 198916300:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,200on the local radio, and this does generate some leads.16400:11:18,680 --> 00:11:22,280Investigators feel that they have no other options at this point,16500:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,000but to release the audio since they are out of leads, they have nowhere to turn,16600:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,760and Anthonette has been missing for almost three years now.16700:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,920Police didn't want to release it any sooner because they worried that the child16800:11:34,920 --> 00:11:40,600would have gotten in trouble if that man that can be heard on the audio figured out16900:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,560that she did call police. Police did believe there was a chance that the person didn't know17000:11:45,560 --> 00:11:53,560it was a police line that she had called. In 1990, a waitress in Carson City, Nevada17100:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,400is waiting on a couple that has a teenage girl with them, and she describes them as uncapped.17200:11:59,400 --> 00:12:07,400Anthonette at this time would be around 13 or 14 years old, so the description of like a teenager17300:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,920being there does match and does fit up. The teenage girl kept dropping her fork,17400:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,920and when the waitress would get it for her, the girl would squeeze her hand.17500:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,920After they left, the server found a napkin under the girl's plate that said, help me, call police.17600:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,120It's not clear how Anthonette gets associated with this encounter, but it does seem like she17700:12:28,120 --> 00:12:34,920recognized the girl as Anthonette later. Anthonette's case appears to fall out of the media until around17800:12:34,920 --> 00:12:42,7602016. Anthonette's youngest sister, Wendy, looks back 30 years and says, quote, I remember the police17900:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,640asking me what happened, and I had thought then that it was one of our uncles at the door.18000:12:48,280 --> 00:12:54,200That turned out not to be true. Really, I'm not sure what happened to her, end quote. Penny had18100:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,120passed away in the late 90s, but police do suggest in recent reports that she knew more than what she18200:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,160told them and that she did in fact fail the polygraph test, as I had mentioned previously.18300:13:05,640 --> 00:13:11,080Now, if you are to research this case on your own after this podcast or maybe during this podcast,18400:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,680if you're multitasking, I have read about some other rumors in the case that I just couldn't18500:13:16,680 --> 00:13:22,760verify and I didn't see any like news outlets reporting on, so I'm not sure what happened.18600:13:22,760 --> 00:13:29,400I'll just kind of mention them briefly here, but years later, Wendy will say that she did witness18700:13:29,400 --> 00:13:36,440the abduction and that she saw two men grab Antonette and like kind of pull her outside from18800:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,120her standing at the door, kind of answering the door. So that's one story that's kind of popped up18900:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,920over the internet, but I couldn't find the origin of it. I wasn't sure where that came from. And19000:13:46,920 --> 00:13:55,640another rumor is that Penny was involved with the planning and kidnapping of her daughter.19100:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,320Now, police do seem a little suspicious that Penny isn't telling them everything that she may know,19200:14:02,120 --> 00:14:11,160but they never publicly accuse her of setting up her daughter's disappearance or name her19300:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,360officially as a suspect. They just can't rule her out, but they've never been able to rule anybody19400:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,920out in this case, so that's kind of where that stands for those two items. But if you know19500:14:22,920 --> 00:14:30,120anything about the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito in April of 1986 or her whereabouts today,19600:14:30,680 --> 00:14:39,640please call the Gallup Police Department at 505-863-9365. And the sources for the timeline today19700:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,800come from the Albuquerque Journal, which really covered a lot of the story and where I got a lot19800:14:43,800 --> 00:14:53,800of my articles, the Santa Fe New Mexican, and QRQE News. So that is the case and timeline of19900:14:53,800 --> 00:15:01,080Anthonette Cayedito. And this case is pretty well covered. I noticed it had been covered by20000:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,440a lot of podcasts, a lot of blogs. There's a lot of reports out there, which is why I'm a little20100:15:06,440 --> 00:15:12,520cautious about reporting those rumors or slipping those into the timeline. I try to just keep the20200:15:12,520 --> 00:15:19,080timeline to the facts that I've been able to kind of verify and look up in research. But this case,20300:15:19,080 --> 00:15:26,680I think, is so popular because of this phone call aspect that Anthonette called almost a year to the20400:15:26,680 --> 00:15:35,160date, the non-emergency police number at the police station to kind of say, to identify herself and20500:15:35,160 --> 00:15:41,720say that she's an Albuquerque and then there's some sort of commotion with the man. Another20600:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,280person is maybe heard in the background. And as I mentioned in the timeline, there is a recording20700:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,640floating out there on the internet. But again, I just couldn't find the origin of this phone call.20800:15:53,640 --> 00:16:00,680So I didn't know if it was, you know, maybe actors recreating it. If it is the actual audio,20900:16:00,680 --> 00:16:07,480we know the police did release the audio at some point. I tried to email the Gallup Police21000:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,440Department to see if I could get a copy of this, but as of today, I haven't gotten a response. So21100:16:13,000 --> 00:16:20,440that's fine. I will update, of course, if I get one. But I would be very interested to hear21200:16:21,800 --> 00:16:28,840that phone call and to really know what's being said there. And it's just like21300:16:30,680 --> 00:16:37,400the validity of it. Police say that they were unable to trace that phone call. And unfortunately,21400:16:37,400 --> 00:16:43,720it's something that we see a lot in these cold cases, things that drag on year over year is that21500:16:43,720 --> 00:16:51,800some people will just kind of be especially cruel and like call the parents and say that they have21600:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,960them, they've seen them, you know, just like those cruel jokes. And unfortunately, it's something that21700:16:55,960 --> 00:17:03,720we hear about quite a bit. So is it that like someone just being like really cruel? I'm not sure.21800:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,120But I would be interested in really hearing that phone call if it's not the one that you can find21900:17:10,120 --> 00:17:20,200online. But another kind of question that I have is all these sightings of Antonette's across the22000:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,800United States. There's, I think, like five different states where there are reports of her coming in,22100:17:25,800 --> 00:17:32,760and, you know, FBI are able to rule a lot of those out. But then we have this waitress' store22200:17:32,760 --> 00:17:40,120of this teenage girl with this couple that leaves the note that says, Please help call police. Like,22300:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,520what happened there, you know, regardless of if it's if it's Anthonette or not, I would just be22400:17:46,520 --> 00:17:52,120curious what exactly is happening there, because it seemed like the girl needed help one way or the22500:17:52,120 --> 00:17:59,160other. And I hope she got it, you know, wherever she is today. Yeah, this case, you know, kind of22600:17:59,160 --> 00:18:05,080kept bringing up hope for the family that they were going to be able to bring Antonette home,22700:18:05,080 --> 00:18:11,720you know, with the phone call and all these sightings. I just feel really bad for her family,22800:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,440her mother, her sisters. They were such a close unit, but it really seems like her disappearance,22900:18:16,440 --> 00:18:23,000you know, caused a very deep wound in everybody that took a long time to heal, which I think is23000:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,320really understandable. And I can't imagine the roller coaster that the family would go through of23100:18:29,320 --> 00:18:36,280feeling her absence very loudly, but then also getting these glimmers of hope that she is alive.23200:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,760She's trying to get a message out. Like she's trying to call for help. Like, we're going to23300:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,920bring her home any day now. Like, those like roller coasters of emotions of like highs and lows, like,23400:18:46,920 --> 00:18:53,720I really want peace for this family and justice for them and answers for them. They deserve to know23500:18:53,720 --> 00:19:02,120what happened to their sister. It's really unfortunate that it felt like police really23600:19:02,120 --> 00:19:09,560waited and kind of dropped the ball in those first, you know, very critical 48 hours, like,23700:19:09,560 --> 00:19:15,240just telling Penny that she had to wait eight hours before she could report her daughter missing.23800:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,080You know, she had already waited. It was seven to 11, you know, like that was already a chunk of time23900:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,960to figure out she's not in the neighborhood. She's not in the house. She's not, you know,24000:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,720she's not anywhere. We need to get searching and, you know, the family and friends come together24100:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,640and do search. But, you know, you can't help but wonder, like, did they miss something? Did they24200:19:37,640 --> 00:19:45,160miss something? Did they maybe contaminate a scene or evidence? Like, all of these people searching24300:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,200and probably in a very heightened state of emotion kind of frantically searching, like,24400:19:50,200 --> 00:19:56,520was something missed? Was something ignored, stepped on? Like, you know, was there, you know,24500:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,000shuffles in the grass or like, you know, an indentation indicating a struggle that people24600:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,480just didn't notice because they're looking, they're not looking for those little, little details.24700:20:05,480 --> 00:20:12,920They're looking for the big obvious, where is Anthonette? You know, but yeah, I really hope that24800:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,040this family gets answers because it's been a very long time. And, you know, in the beginning,24900:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,280the police didn't really take it all that seriously. But more recently, you know,25000:20:22,280 --> 00:20:29,160I mentioned 2016 is kind of when it re-emerges in the media. And that is directly because of25100:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,280the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Movement, which we've talked about on this podcast before.25200:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,320You know, that advocacy work and talking about these cases that don't get a lot of coverage25300:20:39,640 --> 00:20:47,400does help them get attention at police departments. So really, thank you for being here and thank you25400:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,920for listening to stories like Anthonette's because it really does help and it helps put pressure on25500:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,680police to solve it and to put resources towards this case. So you're, you know, this is kind of25600:20:58,680 --> 00:21:05,080the work too. So I appreciate you being here. And again, if you know anything about the disappearance25700:21:05,080 --> 00:21:12,520of Anthonette Cayedito in April of 1986 or her whereabouts today, please call the Gallup Police25800:21:12,520 --> 00:21:24,360Department at 505-863-9365.
