Hi crime junkies, I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt and later this week is

Veterans Day here in the US a day to honor the commitment and sacrifices of

those who serve our country in the armed forces. the career, but for a lot of Americans joining the military is a stepping stone, a way to learn

some skills and make some money while planning for the next thing.

And the story I have for you today is about a young man who at just 21 was just months away from

starting his next thing when the unthinkable happened leaving an endless list of

unanswered questions.

This is the story of specialist Enrique Roman Martinez. the Oh, It's almost 7 PM on Saturday, May 23rd, 2020, a day into the Memorial Weekend,

when a call comes into 911 dispatch in Carteret County, North Carolina.

It's from a young man camping out on the islands of the outer banks. Carter, I can't do not want to 9-1-1-1 with the agency emergency?

We are on Cape Workout Island and between mile marker 46 and 47

by the jetty and we we lost our friend we don't know where he had gone and he was kind of worried that he something happened to him.

Where's the last spot you saw him out?

So we all went to bed last night and when we woke up he was not here and we've been looking

for him all day. We were trying to find the Park Ranger or their offices or anything

until we went all the way to the ferry and we found that we needed a dial 911. We

weren't sure if that's what we had to do out here.

Yeah, we can get core park service in contact with you, sir.

Are you, are you on core banks or Shackleford?

Are you like close to Cape Lookout?

Yeah, we're on Cape Lookout.

Okay. Oh, I see where you're at. Okay. All right. And how long has he been missing?
