Finding Chase Master Episode eight. This week marks three years since her son, Chase Massner vanished in Cobb County. Living the last three years with the not knowing and without him here is pure hell. Chase Massner isn't a rock War veteran, a husband, a father. His wife told us she dropped them off at a quickstrip in Cobb County, where he works. His family says he was last seen at a friend's house in Kennesaw three years ago on March and it's like he vanished from that home, not to be seen or heard from again. If he was able to reach out to any one of us, he would, he would. Despite some intense searching, few clues have been found. She tells me that as a mother, in her heart, she feels her son Chase is dead. We have absolutely no answers at all, not even the slightest clue in three years. Imagine your son that you've loved his whole life, that you have raised, that you have poured all your love into, takes off and fights in Iraq. Imagine the suffering that you go through every day, every night, wondering he's going to make it home. And then he does, and you're on top of the world. You are back with your baby, and then he disappears. You never hear from him again. Ever, you don't know whether he's dead or alive. Is there a chance he just took a powder and never bothered to call you, didn't bother to text, just left, just dropped off the grid. Could that happen? I wouldn't be able to believe that. That is what the mother of Chase Master lives through every day of her life. I Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. Where is Chase Master? At the time he mysteriously disappeared, he was married, with beautiful children, a beautiful wife. He and the wife, Amanda fault like a cat and a dog. He had a hard time getting back into the groove with quote regular people once he came back from Iraq. It's hard. They had money problems, they had a new baby. Nothing was working. So a lot of suspicion turned toward her when he went missing. A lot of people pointed the finger at her. Was she the last one with him? Did they have an incredible row? Did she pull a gun on him? Did she throw him out of the car? What what happened? Finally, She reveals to me her feelings, where she was that day, what happened that day, and how it feels for people to blame you, how it feels for the victim to somehow turn into the bad guy. Here is Amanda Master. There are a lot of things in my path, but I am not proud of doing me too. I think there's nobody around here that hasn't done something in their past that they will be mortified if the world found out about. And there are a lot of mistakes that have made I'm not trying to hide them. I'm not trying to lie about them. But I love my husband very much and I love my children very much. And four months after my husband disappeared, God came into my life and change who are You? And with me things that I didn't think we're possible for me and I didn't even think we're real. Brought me to a place that was safe and took me away from so much. And I might not I have talked to media or seemed like I was looking or cared about answers, but turning it over to God and raising my children the right way with godly people and just focusing on then, to me is doing so much more to honor my husband, then obsessing and going crazy like I did the first couple of months over details and over all these little things. And the reason that I'm sitting here three years later, finally talking to you is because I can with peace without going crazy, knowing that God does know exactly or chases I don't need to know. And I'm not talking to you because I have to know. I'm talking to you because there's so many lies, there's so many things that are false out there, so many people have it so wrong. I'm glad you said that. What what do you like to clear up for the record anything. I think that so many people are focused on They're not focused on the fact that mental illness is part of this. They're not focused on the fact that I just feel like, I mean, I feel like some of it's just sometimes I feel like I'm speaking on an episode of Jerry Springer when I talked about some of this. To be honest with you, but like we were not like pot farmers, Okay, Like that's just ridiculous weird, Okay, And Chase was he wasn't. He didn't owe money to like crazy dope dealers, Okay. And we were not in our front yard screaming at each other every day. Okay, we did not have a horrible marriage. These are not facts. These are It's just cossip. It's horrible cossip, and cyber bullying is a horrible Do you feel like you are and have been a victim of online believing? Absolutely and horrible slander. You know what people do, Amanda what she already know. People want to help find Chase. They think you may be alive, they think he may have been murdered. So they take every perceived inconsistency and like Amanda had Chase his phone, how did she get Chase his phone? Did she get it after he was killed? There in their minds helping and they are looking for inconsistencies, They are looking for answers. I don't think people do it maliciously. I don't think they do. But what happens is you read it and it hurts. But I do feel like there are certain people that are after you. I know there are because there are certain people that slept outside my home, who slept out your home, that followed me to work. There are certain people that came to Iowa and slept outside my home. You saw them, saw them. My neighbors chased them away, that you had answers or thank you that you did it. Let's just put it out there. They think you had a hand in Chase's disappearance for murder. And there are certain people that have threatened me. Certainly people followed you all the way, No I know they did. They talked to my neighbors, they asked about me. And this is not the polace. These are just they are not the police. They wrote their names and numbers down on pieces of paper and gave them to my neighbors. Certain people came to Iowa and told my neighbors that I was a horrible drug dealer from from Georgia running away from the cops. This is the type of stuff that people have done. And what they might not get is that it's not just about me. The girls, these are my children. It's not about me. These are chess children. I have a question about something you said. You said that God has shown you things that you didn't even think a real Like what like the power that God has to change things in your life, Like the power that God has to transform not only how I see things, but how I feel about things. In an instant, I went from obsessing over needing to know everything to have total peace and not needing to know, and it was it's incredible for me letting you out of prison, which your mind. Do you think you will ever know what happened on this earth if God wants you to? But it would be for his gluelory. Wow. You know. After I talked to Amanda Alan Duke, I believe completely that although I don't agree with some of her choices, I don't think she had anything to do with Chase's disappearance. Nancy. I have the same feeling the pain that she suffers because she is the victim in this and her two daughters. Yet people who are well intentioned, who are really wanting to find what happened to Chase Master look towards her and she becomes the suspect. But it got really bizarre in her case and unfortunately other cases too. There's actually a guy doing I'm in a Georgia prison right now. I'll give his name. He was convicted Paul Liebrey. We've talked about him in our previous episodes. He's doing time in prison now because he was convicted of impersonating a police officer and pretending like he was a detective to help the families of missing children or people in Georgia, in Cobb County where Chase disappeared, and in Douglas County, Georgia. So what does that have to do with Amanda. Well, he actually tried, He befriended Amanda, he became close to Amanda. He actually, according to Amanda and others, tried to put a camera in her home to spy on her under the guise of he was watching over her. It's really bizarre. Another she talks about a stalker, there was actually this person who wanted to solve the case who followed her out to Iowa and showed up at her home in that small town in Iowa telling people that he was investigating Chase Master's disappearance. And he was asking questions about what she was doing. Now, that's pretty scary. So Amanda, because of that and a lot more harassment, leaves town. She packs up and leaves, takes her children because she's just kind of scared. Do you know people follow her to her new location. They go around asking people in her new neighborhood what do you know about Amanda? Do you know her husband disappear? And we believe he's dead. She may be the last one with him. What do you know, what do you mean going around to her new neighbors and acting like she's the suspect. Alan, The lesson from this, for me and I hope for others, is, yes, help us solve these crimes, help us find these clues, help us draw attention to these cases. But let's be careful. Let's be careful about turning the true victim into the victim of another time. Ho ho ho, hold on, yes, you know, Alan, that drastically statistics show did the person most likely to commit a homicide is your partner. It's your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your husband, your wife, your ex. So of course people are going to look at Amanda. So so don't suggest that that is not real. It is real. Yes, it's real, but in this case, in this case, and just be careful that. What I'm saying is, ask yourself if you're being fair to that person in what you post on social media, what you're saying in chat rooms, that sort of. It was brutal. It was brutal, and just remember that, because well, there's only one thing to do, Alan, and what is that. We've got a Fine Chase Master. That's what we're working on. I feel good about it.
