00:00:00.000 Walk us through the sequencing of he's at Catalina Island.
00:00:05.060 He's backpacking, you know, hiking with his friends.
00:00:08.800 He comes back, I believe, the 21st, which is his birthday.
00:00:12.320 22nd.
00:00:12.600 He comes back on the 22nd.
00:00:14.660 21st is his birthday.
00:00:16.180 I think he turns 26 years old.
00:00:18.040 He's turned 26.
00:00:18.700 26 years old.
00:00:20.160 And this is him backpacking Catalina Island.
00:00:22.540 Yes.
00:00:23.220 And so he comes back 22nd.
00:00:25.820 Does he speak to that morning?
00:00:27.400 Does he speak to the family?
00:00:28.940 Walk us through that.
00:00:30.400 He spoke to me on the morning of his birthday.
00:00:33.080 He knows mom will be very anxious.
00:00:35.220 So he called himself at 945.
00:00:37.180 He said, I'm with my friends in the evening.
00:00:39.200 I won't have time.
00:00:40.060 So he called me off.
00:00:41.500 I wished him and I blessed him.
00:00:44.060 That blessing did not protect him.
00:00:45.740 I blessed him.
00:00:46.820 I made wishes to him.
00:00:48.820 He just wrapped up.
00:00:49.840 Then next morning, I think there was an instinctive message for me.
00:00:55.680 I saw four-year-old Sushir in my dream.
00:00:57.840 And that four-year-old boy was very thoughtful.
00:01:03.460 Very thoughtful.
00:01:04.780 Because I'm going to get another news.
00:01:06.440 That could be the thing.
00:01:07.460 I even have the evidence of texting it to Sushir.
00:01:10.180 And he just said, ha, ha, ha.
00:01:12.380 That was at 8.30 in the morning.
00:01:14.080 Again at 11, I checked with him.
00:01:16.880 He said, we are taking off now.
00:01:18.800 Is the weather good?
00:01:19.740 Is your flight delayed?
00:01:20.680 He said, I'm taking off now.
00:01:21.900 His flight was delayed.
00:01:22.900 But he didn't say, I'm taking off now.
00:01:25.460 And then at 4.45, I texted, like, it's pouring here in Union City.
00:01:30.380 How is it in San Francisco?
00:01:31.740 He said, yeah, it's pouring here.
00:01:33.420 And then he spoke to my husband at 7.12 p.m.
00:01:36.240 Yes, 7.12 around, I called him to wish him a birthday wish.
00:01:41.400 And I sent him a gift he accepted.
00:01:44.180 And I asked him how was his trip and also who are the friends that went with him
00:01:50.860 to check whether he was in a safe environment.
00:01:53.400 And I suggested going to CES, that is a conference in Las Vegas in January.
00:02:03.360 Yeah, he showed interest to come with me.
00:02:05.820 So those are the conversations we had.
00:02:08.040 And also in the end, he said, he's going to get his dinner.
00:02:12.880 So that's the last sentence.
00:02:15.500 22nd.
00:02:16.460 22nd at 7.12.
00:02:18.720 22nd at 7.30.
00:02:20.980 7.12.
00:02:21.640 7.12.
00:02:22.240 Okay, what happens next?
00:02:24.640 Oh, what happens next is, let me tell one more context.
00:02:27.460 1.33 p.m., we have seen the CCTV video of Suchir coming back home 0.76
00:02:32.340 with a huge suitcase from backpacking.
00:02:35.140 He looks very fit, very healthy, very happy.
00:02:38.580 Then 7.02, he goes out very quickly to get his dinner and comes back.
00:02:43.620 Even in that picture, even in that video, he seems perfectly normal.
00:02:48.080 We have seen activity on his browser history until 10.18 p.m.
00:02:52.120 One of the conversations he was searching for is, how do we lead a messenger conversation,
00:02:59.400 iMessage group conversation of three?
00:03:01.520 Am I, how do, and then the Google search he was reading was being sabotaged or something.
00:03:07.580 Was what?
00:03:08.840 Sabotaged, being.
00:03:09.980 Sabotaged.
00:03:10.480 Uh-huh.
00:03:10.740 Okay.
00:03:11.420 And another thing he was looking for was neuroscience.
00:03:17.560 And this is at 10.18, 10.30.
00:03:19.260 10.18 p.m., yes.
00:03:20.220 He's searching on Google about neuroscience.
00:03:24.020 He was researching.
00:03:25.300 Obviously, he was researching till then.
00:03:27.160 And I saw something you said about a black cat that he was researching.
00:03:29.900 He was searching about that, too, yes.
00:03:31.420 Because you guys had a conversation about a black cat or something like that.
00:03:33.980 Yeah, we had a conversation about a black cat.
00:03:35.300 And this is him.
00:03:37.060 This is the CCTV camera, right, when he's getting home.
00:03:40.300 And this is him getting the food at 7.30.
00:03:42.520 Yes, yes.
00:03:43.600 Okay.
00:03:44.540 So, okay, nothing on his pants.
00:03:48.060 Everything looks good.
00:03:49.480 He looks fine.
00:03:50.680 Yeah, you don't see any stains or anything on the, any scars.
00:03:54.600 He's listening to probably music or talking to somebody.
00:03:57.960 Okay, so nothing seems out of the ordinary.
