New Podcast: Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River
Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River<br /><br />The first episode drops March 30th! <br />Each new episode will drop the following Monday. <br /><br /><br />We're seeking the answer to the question, "What happened to Jeff Anderson?"<br /><br /><br />Jeff Anderson was just 40 years old when his car rolled into the Sacramento River the evening of September 9th, 2023. Despite 911 calls from eye witnesses confirming the entry point of Jeff's car into the river, rescue attempts were not conducted until September 13th- 4 days later. <br /><br /><br />Upon retrieval, law enforcement removed Jeff's car key from his front pocket of his pants. His car transmission was in "park." <br /><br /><br />Inconsistencies in stories about Jeff's last hours have raised more questions than answers:<br /><br /><br />Was Jeff assaulted?<br />Was Jeff helped to his car from a bar and taken water? <br />Was Jeff roofied?<br />Was Jeff in emotional distress?<br /><br /><br />We have witness statements submitted to law enforcement saying they were told by eye witnesses that there were two cars that evening, not one. <br /><br /><br />When the car eye witnesses were <br /> followed up by law enforcement, this claim was denied ever being said. Why?<br /><br /><br />We'll share dispatch calls. <br />We'll share incident reports. <br />We'll share toxicology reports. <br /><br /><br />Was this a horrific accident, or was this case closed without a proper investigation? <br /><br /><br />Why did the PI hired by the family take years to get the report back to family?<br /><br /><br />Why was Jeff's car parked only to allegedly roll from a stop across a flat grade road, make a 90 degree turn, and then go into the water? <br /><br /><br />Why has Jeff's phone had multiple hacking attempts?<br /><br /><br />Why wasn't Jeff's case looking into as a suspected homicide? <br /><br /><br />The stories the family were told by law enforcement alone will outrage you. <br /><br /><br />We'll be covering the witness reports, police reports, autopsy report, interviews, written statements, and our documented attempts to communicate with Sheriff Cooper and the District Attorney. <br /><br /><br />March 30th-<br />Time to ask seek the answers to questions law enforcement should have asked before closing Jeff's case. <br /><br /><br />Podcast Hosts Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera<br />A Fire Eyes Media Network podcast <br />Podcast script written by Jules Thorp <br />Podcast audio engineering and editing by Jen Rivera <br />Producers Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera<br /><br /><br />What Happened To Jeff Anderson?<br /><br />Subscribe now by simply searching for Secret Beyond the Sacramento River <br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nola-93-the-journal-and-the-murder--6790925/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nola-93-the-journal-and-the-murder--6790925/support</a>.
