1:50

Nestled in the north central part

1:52

of Massachusetts, Ashburnham is a

1:54

small town with a rich history that

1:57

reflects the broader story of New England.

2:00

With its rolling hills, dense

2:02

forests and tranquil lakes, Ashburnham

2:05

is a picturesque example of rural

2:07

New England. The

2:09

town's origins trace back to the

2:11

early 18th century, when the

2:14

land was first settled by European

2:16

colonists. Originally

2:19

part of a land-grant known as

2:21

Dorchester, Canada, the area was

2:23

awarded to soldiers who had fought in

2:26

the Canadian campaigns of the French and

2:28

Indian War. The

2:30

settlement began in earnest around 1736, and by 1765,

2:32

the town was officially incorporated as

2:38

Ashburnham, named after John Ashburnham,

2:40

an English statesman and confidant of King

2:43

Charles I. As

2:45

the 19th century dawned, Ashburnham began

2:48

to experience modest growth. The

2:51

Industrial Revolution brought changes even to this

2:53

rural town. Water-powered

2:56

mills sprung up along the town's

2:58

rivers and streams, including on

3:00

the south branch of the Sothegan River, leading

3:03

to the development of small-scale

3:05

manufacturing. By the

3:07

late 19th century, Ashburnham had developed into

3:10

a robust community, with schools,

3:12

churches and businesses that served the

3:14

local population. Throughout

3:17

the 20th century, the town remained a

3:20

predominantly rural community, but

3:22

it slowly transformed as farming declined

3:24

and more residents sought employment outside

3:26

of the town. The

3:29

natural beauty of the area attracted those

3:31

seeking a quiet country life. The

3:34

town has maintained much of its historic

3:36

architecture, with well-preserved colonial

3:38

homes and buildings that

3:40

harken back to its early days. But

3:44

even in a place as tranquil as Ashburnham,

3:47

the past can sometimes intrude in

3:49

unsettling ways. Along

3:52

the quiet, winding Packard Hill Road, the

3:54

Android awoke one night in June of

3:56

2018 to

3:58

the sound of a blood-curdling scream.

4:00

Broughton Chiklis

4:16

was born on the 24th of July 1997

4:18

in Lowell, Massachusetts

4:21

to parents Paul Chiklis

4:23

and Tricia Edwards-Lamarsh. From

4:27

an early age, Brandon exhibited a

4:30

natural curiosity and a bright, eager

4:32

spirit that endeared him to everybody

4:34

that he met. Brandon's

4:36

academic journey began in Fritschberg schools,

4:39

where his enthusiasm for learning

4:41

quickly became apparent. He

4:44

excelled in his studies, showing

4:46

a particular aptitude for drafting, a

4:49

skill that combined his love for precision

4:52

and creativity. His

4:54

dedication and hard work paid off when

4:56

he graduated from Monty Tech in 2015.

5:00

Throughout his time in school, Brandon was

5:03

known not only for his academic achievements,

5:05

but also for his easy-going nature

5:07

and ability to make friends effortlessly.

5:11

His peers and teachers alike admired

5:13

his diligence and positive attitude. In

5:18

addition to his academic pursuits, Brandon

5:20

was an active member of the Junior

5:23

Reserves Officers Training Corps for a year,

5:25

where he demonstrated leadership and

5:27

discipline. This

5:30

experience further shaped his character,

5:32

instilling in Brandon a sense

5:34

of responsibility and commitment. One

5:37

of the defining aspects of Brandon's youth

5:39

was his involvement with the Boy Scouts

5:42

of America. He

5:44

joined Troop 41 in Fritschberg as a

5:46

young boy, and quickly fell in love

5:48

with the adventures that scouting offered. Over

5:52

the course of ten years, Brandon dedicated

5:54

himself to the values and challenges of

5:56

scouting, ultimately achieving the rank of Life

5:58

Scout. He had

6:01

always loved the outdoors, hagging and

6:03

camping, which made the Boy Scouts

6:05

the perfect fit for him and his personality.

6:09

His favourite trip was when Troop 41 spent

6:11

over a week at Fillmont Scout Ranch in

6:14

New Mexico. By

6:17

2018 Brandon Chiklis was

6:20

a 20 year old man living

6:22

in Westminster Massachusetts with

6:24

his girlfriend of four years, Jocelyn

6:26

Williams. Tricia and

6:28

Paul had broken up, but Brandon

6:30

maintained a close relationship with his

6:33

mother who lived nearby and

6:35

his father who had moved to Wyndham. Frequent

6:39

visits to his father's home were a testament

6:41

to their strong bond and

6:43

the importance of family in Brandon's life. Professionally,

6:47

Brandon found fulfilment working for a

6:49

local HVAC company, a job

6:51

he had been dedicated to for the past two

6:54

years. His

6:56

enthusiasm for his work was evident to everybody

6:58

who knew him. His

7:01

colleagues admired his diligence and passion and

7:03

he quickly became known for his reliability

7:06

and technical skill. Whether

7:08

it was installing new systems or

7:10

troubleshooting existing ones, he

7:12

approached each task with a positive attitude.

7:16

His love for his job often extended beyond

7:18

his workplace. Brandon

7:21

enjoyed applying the skills he had learned at

7:23

work to fix things around the home. Whether

7:26

it was repairing a malfunctioning appliance or

7:29

fine-tuning the home's HVAC system, he

7:32

found joy in solving problems and improving the

7:34

comfort of his own home. Brandon

7:38

had hoped that one day he would own

7:40

his own HVAC company. It

7:52

was just after 1pm on the 23rd

7:54

of June 2018 when

7:56

Brandon set out in his car to

7:58

Wyndham, New Hampshire. He

8:01

was having there to celebrate a belated

8:03

Father's Day dinner with his dad Paul,

8:06

a tradition they had held on to for years, no

8:09

matter how busy life got. As

8:12

he packed a small overnight bag into the trunk

8:14

of his car, Brandon felt a

8:17

twinge of guilt for not having

8:19

made it on the actual holiday. But

8:22

work had been hectic, and his father

8:24

had understood. They

8:27

always found time for each other, even

8:29

if it wasn't on the exact day. Paul

8:32

had always been the patient type, especially

8:34

since his girlfriend, Kristen Beavers, had

8:36

come into his life. They

8:39

were patiently waiting for Brandon to arrive, but

8:42

the hours gradually slipped by and

8:44

nightfall had descended upon their home. Brandon

8:48

should have been there by now. Paul

8:51

tried calling his son's phone, but it

8:53

went straight to voicemail. He

8:56

frowned, but reassured Kristen that

8:59

Brandon was probably just running late.

9:02

Maybe it stopped off somewhere to pick up a bottle

9:05

of wine, or maybe he had

9:07

decided, on a whim, to drive

9:09

up to the mountains for the night. It

9:12

was the sort of thing that Brandon might do. But

9:15

as the night wore on and the calls continued

9:17

to go unanswered, Paul's casual concern

9:20

turned into a gnawing worry. The

9:24

idea of Brandon camping out didn't sit right with

9:26

him anymore. Something

9:28

felt wrong. By the

9:30

time the son rose the next morning, bringing

9:33

with it no word from Brandon, Paul

9:35

and Kristen's worry had deepened into

9:37

something far more urgent. They

9:41

tried calling the rest of his family and

9:43

his girlfriend, but nobody had

9:45

seen or heard from Brandon. It

9:49

was as if he had vanished into thin air. With

9:52

nowhere else to turn, Brandon was reported missing.

9:56

The police arrived and took statements from the

9:59

family. as the search for

10:01

Brandon began. On

10:10

the 26th of June, local and state police

10:12

turned to the public for their help in

10:14

the search for Brandon. They

10:16

released some information about when he was

10:18

last seen and told the public

10:20

he could be driving a grey 2010 Honda Civic with

10:25

Massachusetts registration 7NA723. They

10:31

described Brandon as being 5 feet

10:33

5 inches tall, weighing around 155 pounds

10:35

with brown hair and brown eyes. They

10:41

asked if anybody had seen Brandon

10:43

or knew anything about his disappearance

10:46

to contact their local police department

10:48

or the Westminster Police. Just

10:52

two days later, a police officer

10:54

in Ringe, New Hampshire was patrolling

10:56

the Hannaford supermarket parking lot when

10:59

he observed that a car was still parked there. It

11:03

was late at night and all the other

11:06

cars were gone. As

11:08

he drew closer he saw that it was a Honda

11:11

Civic, much like the one Brandon

11:13

had been driving. He

11:15

ran the license plate number and

11:17

learned that it was indeed Brandon's car. Do

11:24

you ever feel sluggish, low on energy

11:26

and just not yourself? I've

11:28

been there and it's frustrating. That's

11:31

when I discovered Prolon by Elle Neutra.

11:34

Forget everything you know about fasting because

11:36

this is a game changer. Prolon

11:39

is the only patented fasting mimicking diet

11:41

that gives you all the benefits of

11:43

prolonged fasting without having to

11:45

give up food entirely. Prolon

11:47

is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program

11:49

that tricks your body into thinking

11:51

it's fasting while still nourishing it.

11:55

Developed after decades of research at

11:57

the University of Southern California Longevity

11:59

Institute, Institute, and backed by leading

12:01

medical centres, Prolon is designed to clean

12:03

out your system on a cellular level.

12:06

Just five days can make a meaningful difference

12:08

in your overall health. But

12:10

here's the thing, Prolon isn't actually a

12:12

diet. It's science. Science

12:14

based on Nobel Prize winning discoveries.

12:18

The five day programme includes snacks, soups and

12:20

beverages, all designed to keep your body in

12:22

a fasting state. I did

12:25

the programme myself and I feel so much

12:27

better. More energy and far less bloating. It

12:29

was super convenient and they sent me everything I needed

12:32

in one box. It's really

12:34

no wonder that thousands of doctors recommend

12:36

Prolon to support healthy blood sugar and

12:38

cardiovascular health. Right now

12:40

Prolon is offering Warbidology listeners 15%

12:42

13:17

was around 29 miles away from Windham where

13:20

Brandon had told his family he was going

13:22

the day he vanished. War

13:26

police arrived on scene and

13:28

found nothing on towards about Brandon's vehicle.

13:32

There was gas and there appeared to be no

13:34

problems with the car, ruling out that he had

13:36

car trouble on the way. However

13:39

the keys were found in the car. Orange

13:43

Police Chief Daniel Inair said in

13:45

the media that his department

13:47

was now working alongside State Police

13:49

and Westminster Police to try and

13:51

locate Brandon. He

13:54

commented, We're both

13:56

working as many angles as we can. We're

13:58

still tracking leads. According

14:02

to New Hampshire State Police Lieutenant

14:04

Michael Kukoski, there was no

14:06

reason to suspect foul play. The

14:09

detectives had been investigating in Wyndham, where

14:12

Brandon had been driving to. They

14:15

spoke to people who knew him there, including

14:17

his father, but none of them had

14:19

seen him. This led

14:21

detectives to believe that he never arrived there.

14:25

But then where was he? By

14:34

Tuesday the 10th of July, Brandon had

14:36

been missing for almost three weeks. That

14:40

morning, the sun cast long shadows

14:42

along Route 119 in Wringe, as

14:45

a local woman set out on her daily jog.

14:50

The air was crisp, the sky

14:52

a brilliant blue, and the jogger's spirits

14:54

were high as she rounded a bend in the

14:56

road, surrounded by dense

14:58

woodland on either side. As

15:01

she approached a secluded stretch of the road,

15:04

an unexpected and pungent odor hit

15:06

her nostrils, making

15:09

her instinctively cover her nose. She

15:12

slowed her pace, her heart pounding,

15:15

not from exertion but from the growing

15:17

sense of unease. The

15:20

smell was unlike anything she had encountered before,

15:22

a sickly

15:25

sweet stench that turned her stomach.

15:28

Curiosity and dread nodded the woman

15:31

as she veered off the road, following

15:33

the scent into a small clearing

15:35

obscured by overgrown bushes. Her

15:39

breath caught on her throat when she saw it, a

15:43

bundle lying motionless on the ground, wrapped

15:46

in a blanket, tarp, and

15:48

a beige canvas sheet. The

15:51

makeshift shroud did little to conceal

15:53

the horror underneath it. The

15:56

edges were stained and flies buzzed

15:58

incessantly around it. It

16:01

was clearly a human body, in

16:04

an advanced state of decomposition. With

16:07

trembling hands, the jogger pulled out her phone

16:09

and dialed 911, her voice shaky, as

16:13

she explained the situation. The

16:17

dispatcher's calm demeanor did little to soothe

16:19

her nerves, but they assured her

16:21

that help was on the way. Police

16:26

and forensic experts arrived at the scene in a

16:28

matter of minutes. The

16:30

jogger pointed them to a forested area, just

16:33

about 30 feet from the guardrail, and

16:36

explained what she had just found. They

16:39

quickly cordoned off the area and

16:41

made their way over to the body. They

16:45

meticulously unwrapped the layers, revealing

16:47

the badly decomposed body of a young

16:50

man. Once the

16:52

body was fully exposed, it

16:54

was evident just how advanced the decomposition

16:56

was. The

16:58

body was completely skeletonised. The

17:01

shirt that covered his chest had 12

17:03

slit marks through it. The

17:07

first task of the crime scene investigators

17:09

was to document the scene thoroughly. Cameras

17:13

flashed as they captured every angle of

17:16

the body and the surrounding area. Once

17:19

this was complete, the medical examiner arrived

17:21

to transport the man's body back to

17:24

their office. Once

17:27

there, he was transferred into the examination

17:29

room, where the state's

17:32

chief medical examiner, Jenny Duvall, unzipped

17:34

the body bags. She

17:37

saw bags and blankets as well as a

17:39

blue tarp and a beige canvas sheet covering

17:41

the body. In

17:43

these bags was jewellery and a cell phone

17:45

sim card. The

17:48

young man was still clothed, including a

17:51

belt buckle that was buckled and

17:53

a shirt that was bunched up. Wolds

17:57

of his teeth were taken for identification

17:59

purposes. following which Duval

18:01

began her examination. She

18:05

recollected. When we

18:07

pulled that shirt downward, there were

18:09

at least a dozen slit-like defects. The

18:13

young man had sustained 10 to 12 stab wounds

18:16

before his body had been wrapped in a Lands

18:18

End blanket and then placed

18:20

into two trash bags. These

18:23

were then duct taped to his body. In

18:26

addition to the stab wounds, there appeared

18:28

to be incisions or carvings in his skin.

18:32

The young man was soon identified as

18:35

20-year-old Brandon Chicklis. The

18:48

missing person investigation morphed into a

18:50

murder investigation and detectives once

18:53

more asked the public for their help. They

18:57

said they believed that Brandon had driven from

18:59

Westminster to Ringe sometime between the

19:01

23rd and 25th of June. At

19:05

some point when he was there, he met

19:07

his killer. Detectives

19:10

didn't yet have a theory on whether it

19:12

was somebody known to Brandon or

19:14

a stranger. They

19:16

asked that if anybody had seen a vehicle stopped on

19:19

the eastbound side of Route 119 any

19:21

time between those dates to reach out. Brandon's

19:26

family were completely heartbroken by the revelation

19:28

that he was dead and

19:30

that he was the victim of a murder. They

19:34

said that he was an easygoing young man who

19:36

never caused any trouble for anybody. His

19:41

father's girlfriend, Kristin, commented in

19:43

a telephone interview. It's

19:46

horrific. It's unspeakable. I just

19:49

can't believe it. She

19:51

said that Brandon would have done anything to help anybody.

19:56

She had set up a GoFundMe page to help the family pay for Brandon's upcoming

20:00

funeral. It

20:02

read in part, we

20:04

have unfortunately lost our dear

20:07

son, grandson, nephew, brother, friend,

20:09

and much more, and are looking

20:12

for any contributions towards funeral expenses

20:14

to this very tragic event

20:16

that has occurred. We appreciate

20:18

any and all that you can give

20:20

and thank you immensely. Within

20:22

a few days, it had reached more than $8,000. The

20:28

investigation pressed on and

20:30

detectives were keen to learn more about

20:32

Brandon's movements. His

20:35

cell phone was missing, but detectives were able to

20:37

use the data from the SIM card to

20:39

trace where his phone was when he vanished.

20:43

In the hours after he left the home, his

20:46

cell phone pinged at a home

20:48

located on 171 Packard Hill Road

20:51

in Ashburnham. The

20:54

home was situated along a rural road and

20:56

was surrounded in dense woodland. It

21:00

was just on the outskirts of Upper Nike

21:02

Lake and had its own lake on the grounds. It

21:06

was just a few miles away from where Brandon's body had

21:08

been found. From

21:11

this home, Brandon's cell phone activity

21:13

went completely silent, indicating

21:16

that his phone was destroyed or switched off

21:18

while he was here. Detectives

21:22

soon learned that the home belonged

21:24

to a man named John Enright,

21:27

and he had a 21-year-old daughter. Julia

21:31

Enright was known to Brandon. They had gone to

21:34

school together. Julia Enright

21:36

was raised by her single father, John, in

21:38

a close-knit community where she quickly became known

21:40

for her intelligence and dedication. John,

21:44

who was a volunteer firefighter and active member of at

21:46

least one town board, instilled in his family a few

21:48

years ago. John was a

21:50

volunteer firefighter and active member of at least

21:53

one town board, instilled in his family a

21:55

few years ago. his

22:00

daughter a sense of duty from an

22:02

early age. His

22:05

commitment to service in the community was a

22:07

cornerstone of their family life and

22:10

it deeply influenced Enright's own aspirations

22:12

and achievements. From

22:15

a young age, Enright excelled in school,

22:18

demonstrating a natural aptitude for

22:20

academics. Her

22:23

love for learning and her competitive

22:25

spirit found an outlet in her

22:27

participation as a mathlete at Monty

22:29

Tech. She

22:31

was also inducted into the National

22:33

Honor Society. Enright's

22:36

high school years were a whirlwind of activity.

22:40

She was a member of the Yearbook Committee, capturing

22:43

memories and moments for her classmates to

22:45

cherish. Her

22:47

passion for anime led her to join the Anime

22:49

Club, where she found friends

22:52

who shared her interests. In

22:54

the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps,

22:57

Enright honed her leadership skills and

22:59

discipline. She was

23:01

also a dedicated player on the basketball team.

23:04

While studying at Monty Tech, Enright

23:07

had met Brandon Chiklis and

23:09

they graduated in the same year, 2015. Her

23:14

yearbook entry stood out. Alongside

23:17

her smiling face, her

23:19

chosen quote read, reality

23:21

is not merely an illusion, albeit

23:24

a very persistent one. Enright

23:27

and Brandon had dated in high school,

23:29

but they eventually drifted apart. After

23:33

high school, Enright pursued a

23:35

career in healthcare, becoming

23:37

a phlebotomist at Quest Diagnostics

23:39

Laboratory in Groton. After

23:49

detectives learned that Brandon's cell phone had

23:52

last pinged to a tar at Julia

23:54

Enright's home, they called her in

23:56

for an interview. a

24:00

gripping true crime story, but your mind

24:02

keeps drifting. You're checking your phone, maybe

24:04

even thinking about that laundry pile. Frustrating,

24:07

right? That used to be

24:09

me until I found Magic Mind. Now

24:11

I've always been a coffee person, but I found

24:13

that it wasn't enough. The jitters,

24:15

the afternoon crashes, it was really a

24:17

roller coaster that I wanted to get

24:20

off. That's when I tried Magic

24:22

Mind. It's a small addition to

24:24

my morning routine that has made a huge difference.

24:27

In just a few days I noticed the shift. Before

24:30

Magic Mind, I'd struggled to focus,

24:32

hopping between tasks without ever really

24:34

finishing anything. But after a

24:36

week, I'm focused, clear-headed and getting more

24:39

done in less time without the stress.

24:42

Magic Mind is more than just another caffeine

24:44

fix. It's a mental

24:46

performance shot, packed with mushroom nootropics,

24:48

adaptogens and over 100% of

24:51

your daily vitamin C and D. It

24:54

helps me stay productive and stress-free, which

24:56

is crucial, especially when I'm writing a

24:58

script for the podcast. And

25:00

here's the best part. It's 100% safe, doctor-validated

25:03

and made with the highest quality

25:06

ingredients. We're talking about

25:08

organic, California-grown mushrooms and the

25:10

finest matcha from Japan. Plus

25:13

Magic Mind is all about the long game. No

25:16

quick fixes here. Drink it daily and

25:18

feel the difference by the end of the week. They

25:21

even donate five cents for each bottle

for amazing surprises. Happy

27:10

sleuthing. Her

27:15

demeanor was surprisingly calm as

27:18

she waved her Miranda rights without hesitation and

27:20

agreed to speak with the detectives. Seated

27:24

across from them in the interrogation room,

27:27

she recounted her history with Brandon.

27:30

They dated in high school, she said,

27:32

and had a sexual relationship. She

27:36

said that it was puppy love. Despite

27:39

the years that had passed since their

27:41

graduation, the connection between them

27:43

had never fully dissipated. Recently

27:46

they had reconnected and had been speaking on

27:48

and off. According

27:51

to Enright, Brandon was a troubled kid who'd

27:54

been having problems with his current girlfriend.

27:58

She said the state police trooper Douglas Grouhte.

28:01

I know he had been talking a lot about

28:03

having issues with his girlfriend. It appeared

28:06

to be just unintelligent petty arguments."

28:10

Enright went on to describe Brandon as

28:13

not very likeable, aggressive and

28:15

a little emotionally abusive. She

28:19

said that she felt bad because she liked

28:21

Brandon's girlfriend and knew she

28:24

wouldn't be happy that they were

28:26

seeing one another. Enright said that Brandon

28:28

told her that he was only living with

28:30

his girlfriend because he had no other place

28:32

to stay. The

28:36

detectives then asked Enright if they could examine

28:38

her cell phone and she

28:40

freely handed it over. There

28:43

were several text messages where Brandon tried to

28:45

set up a meeting, but Enright

28:47

always rebuffed him. Then

28:50

on the 22nd of June, she

28:53

asked Brandon to come hang out over the

28:55

weekend and mentioned that she

28:57

hadn't been in the treehouse for a long time.

28:59

It was a

29:01

ramshackle treehouse located on the property of

29:03

her home she shared with her father.

29:07

She and Brandon used to have sex in the

29:10

treehouse while in high school, she said. In

29:14

another text message, she wrote, Also

29:17

I have a surprise idea in mind, but it

29:19

can only be done if no one else knows

29:21

we're hanging out. Brandon

29:24

replied that she was his only friend, so

29:27

he had nobody to tell anyway. Then

29:31

on the morning of the 23rd of

29:33

June, Enright told Brandon to arrive at

29:35

the home using the back drive so

29:37

they don't have to deal with her father. Brandon

29:42

seemingly arrived at the drive and

29:44

texted her that he had passed some cows

29:46

and asked how far to keep going. Enright

29:50

responded that he was almost there.

29:54

But six hours later, Enright texted Brandon

29:56

asking where he was and whether

29:59

something had happened. come up. After

30:03

detectives read the text messages, Enright

30:06

confirmed that they had arranged to meet

30:08

that day that Brandon disappeared. But

30:10

she said that he never showed up, despite

30:13

the fact he had texted that he was on

30:15

her driveway. She

30:17

stated, He did

30:19

stuff like that. That's why I

30:21

never questioned it. Detectives

30:24

found it strange that Enright never contacted them

30:27

to tell them that Brandon had arranged to

30:29

meet her on the day he

30:31

vanished. It

30:33

appeared as though he had arrived on her driveway

30:36

and then disappeared from here, but

30:39

detectives were suspicious. Why

30:42

had she asked him to meet up with her, but

30:44

to not tell anybody where he was going? She

30:48

must have known that detectives were having a hard

30:51

time believing her story. She

30:54

asked them for a break to gather her thoughts.

30:57

She then said, I

31:00

want to tell you everything. After

31:13

Julia Enright had a break in the

31:15

interrogation room, she changed her story.

31:19

She told detectives that Brandon actually had arrived

31:21

at her home on the 23rd of June.

31:23

She said

31:26

that they got drunk in his car,

31:28

kissed, and then listened to music. According

31:32

to Enright, Brandon then said he had

31:34

a large amount of cash and

31:36

wanted to go and buy cocaine. She

31:40

agreed to take the cocaine with him and went

31:42

back to the house while he went off to

31:44

buy the drugs. Enright

31:47

said that Brandon never returned, telling

31:50

the detectives, that's

31:52

everything. I'm sorry. I

31:55

shouldn't have skipped any of that. The

31:58

detectives asked her why she hadn't come forward

32:00

when it was reported that Brandon had gone

32:03

missing. She

32:05

replied, "'I guess I just hoped.

32:08

I don't know. It was just stupid of

32:10

me. I figured he was fine.'"

32:14

While Enright was in the interrogation room,

32:17

trooper Sean Murphy went outside to look

32:19

at her car, a place.

32:22

He walked around looking for any dents or

32:24

damage and noticed that there

32:26

was red or brown stains on the floor

32:29

mat behind the driver's seat. It

32:32

looked awfully similar to blood. The

32:35

detectives obtained a search warrant for the vehicle

32:37

and a cutting was taken from one of the stains

32:40

on the mat. They

32:42

also collected a laptop that was found in

32:44

the backseat. A

32:47

confirmatory test for blood was positive,

32:50

so detectives sent it to the crime lab

32:52

to be analyzed. It

32:56

came back as a match to Brandon

32:58

Chicklis. After

33:07

the discovery of Brandon's blood in Enright's

33:09

car, detectives obtained a search

33:11

warrant for the home she shared with

33:13

her father along Packard Hill Road. It

33:17

was located just a few miles away from

33:19

where Brandon's body had been found and

33:22

his cell phone had pinged here before

33:24

all activity fell silent. The

33:28

detectives spread out, systematically searching

33:30

the property while a team of

33:32

divers prepared to scar the pond

33:34

nearby. As

33:36

detectives conducted a thorough search of the home, their

33:39

initial focus was on Enright's bedroom.

33:43

Amidst the clutter of books and personal

33:45

items, they discovered a stack

33:47

of handwritten notes tucked away in a

33:49

drawer. The

33:51

contents of these notes were deeply

33:53

unsettling. One

33:56

particular entry stood out, capturing their

33:58

attention. It

34:00

read, I daydream

34:02

about it on occasion. I

34:05

just have this insatiable curiosity to kill

34:07

a person. Enright

34:10

also wrote that she wanted to cure the

34:12

world of overpopulation. The

34:14

words conveyed a dark and disturbing

34:16

insight into Enright's mind, suggesting

34:19

a preoccupation with violence and a

34:21

morbid fascination with death. In

34:25

another entry, Enright had detailed a failed

34:27

plot to get pregnant and have an

34:29

abortion and bring the fetus home with

34:31

her. She

34:34

had succeeded in getting pregnant, and

34:36

she had an abortion at Planned Parenthood, but

34:39

her attempts to bribe the organisation to give

34:41

her the remains failed. Hello,

35:45

abortion had taken place just eight days

35:47

before Brandon had vanished. There

35:51

was another entry in which Anne Wright

35:53

self diagnosed herself as a sociopath. There

35:56

were further documents notebooks and business

35:59

cards which had Enright's photo emblazoned

36:01

on the front. These

36:04

indicated that she was a dominatrix

36:06

who participated in BDSM activities with

36:08

people who paid for her services.

36:13

Some other notes mentioned Brandon, specifically

36:16

Enright's relationship with him. She

36:20

wrote that their relationship was damn

36:22

near therapeutic. One

36:24

part of the note read, I

36:27

can be mean and rude to him or kind,

36:29

and he'll initiate a warm hug and invite

36:32

me back soon after. Within

36:35

the bedroom detectives also found a collection

36:37

of knives, some small and

36:39

some large. Adjacent

36:42

to the bedroom detectives explored a

36:44

smaller room that served as

36:47

an unnerving contrast to the ordinary appearance

36:49

of the rest of the home. This

36:52

room contained skeletal remains of

36:55

various animals, meticulously arranged

36:57

in what seemed to be an attempt

36:59

at reassembly. The

37:02

bones were laid out in a manner

37:04

that suggested Enright had been studying or

37:06

experimenting with them, perhaps

37:09

trying to piece them back together like

37:11

a macabre puzzle. Further

37:14

investigation of this room revealed even

37:17

more disturbing artefacts. Numerous

37:20

vials filled with blood, each

37:23

carefully labelled with individual names

37:25

lined the shelves. There

37:28

was also a number of used

37:30

condoms that Enright appeared to be

37:32

collecting. Adding

37:34

to the grotesque collection was a

37:37

glass picture, a quarter

37:39

full with a red substance that appeared to

37:41

be blood. There

37:43

was also a glass beaker containing

37:45

what seemed to be a small heart, most

37:48

likely that of an animal. As

37:51

detectives moved through the garden they

37:53

came across a large plastic container that

37:56

contained the bodies of several

37:58

decomposing animals. Their

38:02

attention was then drawn to a treehouse, nestled

38:04

among the trees. As

38:08

they approached, a grim discovery halted

38:10

them in their tracks. Bloodstains

38:15

marked the stairs, leading up to the

38:17

treehouse. The

38:21

detectives ascended the steps, each

38:23

one marked with more dried blood. Like

38:27

the treehouse, the scene was

38:29

even more unsettling. Blood

38:32

had pulled and spattered across the wooden

38:34

floor. The

38:37

detectives quickly noted that the treehouse

38:39

had recently been cleaned. The

38:43

air held a faint scent of

38:45

disinfectant, and a new rug

38:47

lay conspicuously in the centre of the room.

38:50

Its presence seemed out of place. They

38:53

lifted the rug, revealing that blood

38:56

had seeped through the floorboards, staining

38:58

them a dark red. The

39:02

detectives continued in their examination of

39:04

the treehouse, and they noticed that

39:06

there were handles attached to the

39:08

walls near the four corners of

39:10

the room, low to the floor. They

39:14

looked as though they had been used

39:16

to attach restraint devices. While

39:19

forensic experts collected evidence, detectives

39:22

spoke with Enright's neighbours. Leanna

39:25

Roy lived next door, and

39:27

she told them she had awoken one night

39:30

around the same time that Brandon vanished. Her

39:33

heart was pounding in her chest, as

39:36

a chilling scream pierced the night air.

39:40

The sound was raw, desperate, and it

39:42

cut through the stillness of the early

39:44

morning like a knife. It

39:48

went through my spine, she would later

39:50

say. Disoriented

39:52

and alarmed, she quickly nudged her husband

39:54

awake, and told him what she had

39:56

heard. Leanne's

39:59

husband threw off the covers and slipped out

40:01

of bed, his bare feet

40:03

meeting the cold floor with the shiver.

40:07

Moving through the home he double checked

40:10

the locks on the front door. He

40:12

then made his way to the sliding

40:14

glass door that opened to the back

40:16

yard. The curtains were

40:18

half open, allowing a slither

40:20

of moonlight to filter in. He

40:24

reached out and quickly drew the curtains

40:26

closed. Leanne

40:28

told detectives that the scream had shaken

40:30

her so much that she couldn't fall

40:32

back to sleep that night. Detectives

40:37

wondered if the scream had come from

40:39

Brandon. One

40:48

of the people that Enright claimed to have

40:50

used the treehouse with was her boyfriend John

40:52

Lind. Detectives

40:54

tracked him down and he came to

40:57

the police station to be interviewed. He

41:01

confirmed that they had spent some time to gather

41:03

in the treehouse in recent months, and

41:06

he had an explanation for the blood. He

41:10

said that they would cut each other there

41:12

and smear blood over one another's bodies. According

41:17

to John the treehouse had to be cleaned because

41:19

he had defecated in it during

41:21

sexual activity with Enright.

41:25

On the 24th of July, Julia Enright

41:28

was charged with the murder of Brandon

41:30

and was ordered to be held without

41:32

bail after a not guilty plea was

41:34

entered on her behalf. The

41:38

courtroom was filled with Brandon's loved ones

41:41

and the grief on their faces was palpable.

41:45

There were tears and when they

41:47

left the courtroom that afternoon they

41:49

refused to make a comment. They

41:52

were followed out by police chief Michael

41:54

McDonald who commented. It's

41:56

a step in direction to its closure

41:58

but It's not going

42:00

to be a tough one for

42:03

everybody. In January, Enright was formally charged

42:05

with first-degree murder and she pleaded not

42:07

guilty. She

42:09

was once more ordered to be held without bail.

42:13

District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. provided reporters

42:15

with a breakdown of the case. On

42:18

June 29, his cow was discovered in the

42:20

parking lot of the Hennepin supermarket on Route

42:23

202 in Ringe, New Hampshire.

42:26

On July 10, his body was found

42:28

on the side of Route 119 in Ringe, about

42:31

six miles from the supermarket. New

42:33

Hampshire State Police and the New Hampshire Attorney

42:35

General's Office reached out to my

42:37

office early in the investigation of his death. It

42:40

is believed that Mr. Chickles, who would have turned

42:42

21 years old today, was killed in

42:44

Ashburn Ham and his body was taken

42:46

to New Hampshire and left by the side of Route 119, where

42:49

his body was later

42:51

discovered by a jogger. Mr.

42:53

Chickles' cell phone records placed

42:55

him at 171 Packard Hill

42:57

Road in Ashburn Ham, Massachusetts on June

43:00

23. Several search warrants

43:02

were executed at that address and

43:04

evidence was gathered. Around

43:07

the same time, prosecutors were trying to get

43:09

Enright to turn over her laptop password. The

43:13

laptop had been found in her car, but

43:15

the contents were encrypted and they

43:17

couldn't access it. During

43:20

a jailhouse phone call, Enright had expressed

43:22

concern that detectives were going to look

43:24

through her laptop. She

43:28

had been speaking with her boyfriend when she told

43:30

him. The only thing

43:32

I'm worried about and getting all anxious about, I

43:35

want to know if they got into my computer. I assume

43:38

they got into my laptop. Just

43:40

all my creepy dark stories that they're going

43:42

to twist. Towards

43:44

the end of May, a judge ordered Enright to

43:47

hand over the password for her laptop so that

43:49

it could be searched. When

43:52

it was examined, detectives found more

43:54

information about her secret life as

43:56

a dominatrix. There
