David Paulides Missing 411: Henry McCabe Voice Message

[Sarcastic Plastic]

I grow weary of David Paulides. I used to find his stories fascinating until I did some research and found a couple factual errors. Regarding the Henry McCabe story either he doesn't know all the facts or he withheld them to make the story sound more interesting.

The Henry McCabe voicemail segment is from from Paulides' most recent C2C interview March 23. McCabe disappeared from Fridley or New Brighton MN September 7 2015 and his body was found in a New Brighton lake November 2. The Paulides angle focuses on a strange voicemail McCabe left on his wife's cell phone the night he disappeared. Only a small portion of the message has been released, ABC News legal department advised against releasing the whole thing. Noory played the portion during the interview and you can hear it on news reports found on Youtube. In the message McCabe is heard yelling and moaning and at one point there's a reverberating sound that Youtubers speculate is an evil inter-dimensional or extra terrestrial being attacking McCabe (Noory to Paulides: "and David I HAVE to tell you, that sent SHIVERS up my spine!"). Yes the whole thing seemed genuinely creepy and I got fascinated - and then started reading news reports that can be found all over the internet.

On the night Henry McCabe disappeared his wife was in California with their kids, there's been speculation they were having marital problems. Also their rent check had just bounced, there's been speculation McCabe was depressed over money. The night he disappeared McCabe had gotten drunk in a sleazy bar known for trouble with a couple friends from his home in Liberia. He got so drunk he had to be stopped from buying more drinks. McCabe was later dropped off at a gas station by one of the friends because he wanted to walk by himself, this was confirmed by surveillance video. And here's another part David Paulides doesn't mention, that night Henry McCabe made multiple drunken calls to both his brother and his wife. His body was found with no visible signs of trauma and the coroner ruled it death by drowning in fresh water. Yes the body would be intact after two months in water if the water temperature was less than 70 degrees which it was. Another interesting tidbit, before McCabe's body was found a community policing organization had offered a $10,000 reward for information but later withdrew the offer because they found evidence the wife wasn't being truthful with police.

I think McCabe was drunk depressed and despondent over marriage and money problems and he threw himself into the lake. I think his bizarre voice message was due to being drunk out of his mind and the reverberating sound was a glitch in the connection with the cell tower. I think this case has a very down-to-earth explanation and Paulides should remove it from all subsequent printings of his book.

And if Paulides isn't what he seems to be then all I can say is it just figures because look at who he's associated with.

Paulides information is only as good as he gets from sources.

The guys been getting bumps and bruises from the cop and sar community since they don't like what it is he is saying. I think he ought to cut the back slapping of cops, sars and park rangers and just tell the story. When you go out on that limb, your all alone without a net.

I heard the McCabe sound byte. Sounded legit and who is to say something was not there terrifying him. This world is weirder than we can even begin to suspect.

I'll have to admit Paulides was pretty interesting last night. Oh well nobody is 100%. Bet that saran wrap creature is no fun at parties.

Looks like I was 411 Missing from Coast with a good host and an interesting guest.  I'll try to go back and listen to it.

Depends on how kinky the party is.

Great minds....  I'm game for that sort of party.

George Knapp is always a winner. He actually answered an email a few months ago, said he's not interested in five nights per week because he "has to sleep". I think sleeping is highly overrated particularly when I need him hosting that show.

I've just realized that I can watch Paulides' documentary:  Missing 411: The Hunted for no cost but my time.

The question at hand is - will it suck as badly as I think it will?
