the lights for films they had rooms with like cages you go in the house and then the wall would have you step into some weird tunnel [ __ ] this is a prison cell only kids are being held down here the underground bunker it was a basically a a giant plastic container with a hole only small enough for a child to crawl in and out of a child a small child that was in there could not have gotten out on their own there's a child's vanity and a hospital toilet that looks like a child's car seat strollers and children's toys and clothing and food packets and stuff like that so clearly children had been kept here but one thing that was really disturbing was there were arm restraints wrist restraints on two trees angled like this to to where that's a tree that's looks exactly like Risk restraints for

it's a conspiracy among conspiracies if it's true man you God help us but Phoenix is on Pace for a record-breaking number of homeless deaths according to new data from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner office more than 300 homeless people have already died this year it's a body donation and tissue Bank in Phoenix Arizona it was raided back in 2014 in a human body parts trafficking investigation he found a cooler filled with male genitalia a bucket of heads arms and legs infected did heads and one of the most disturbing findings called a morbid joke in the lawsuit a small woman's head sewn onto a large male torso like Frankenstein and hung up on the wall when I first came across midnight Productions it was Bec my wife Courtney sent me a video on Instagram where a homeless woman was talking about this group in Phoenix Arizona that has been known to abduct homeless people men women and children assault them on camera in Hidden rooms and bunkers and then murder them on camera and then of course sell the films this was a snuff film ring called Midnight Productions and I couldn't believe what I had just heard oh yeah be careful for people like can't trust

base they take you to their location where they're at and then they'll you and once they're done with you while they're also you they'll videotape it there's a thing called snuff that's what they their videos are called snuff look up midnight Productions on web you'll find them but they after that they will take the women and and young ladies and they'll kill them I'm lucky I got away thanks to the ha I'm very grateful out here it sucks out here it's very dangerous there's the um midnight Productions out here and it it is it is right here that [ __ ] is everywhere it's scary people that don't know what midnight Productions is um it's a human trafficking it's everyday people will you know come and lure you in and then take you and you are a sex slave until they are done with that and then chop you up and sell your body parts yeah it's up out here how do you know that's a real thing I I haven't seen it I've heard it um there's a couple ladies uh cuz mental illness is really bad out here it just goes un undiagnosed undetected or whatever people are just pend for themselves out here there's this group of women down by the canal you can tell you can tell there's something wrong they're not quite right you know 10 one will have like 20 coats on won't take any of them off she always don't touch me you know yeah there's these like black guys there's like these five black guys that will sit there and watch who talks to her or if you try to help her or anything they'll they they it's it's fed up because they're just raping these women one of them has a kid and it it's it's up but um yeah no I've had um friends who told me their their daughters their friends have literally waited till everyone's asleep and mobbed up out of hotels after like a whoever in the crew went through them you know they're were able to leave ran down the street naked you know trying to get away from them yeah it's up that's B yeah I hope I don't see it cuz if I see anything of it it'd be too late for me obviously anybody who hears something like that is going to think there's no way that that's possible for something like that to happen first of all I would implore you to go do some independent research yourself look into the Presidio ring look into the Franklin ring look into North Fox Island there's so much of this stuff that has happened throughout American history that we just do not know about so I went into this with an open mind thinking maybe there is something to all this and once I started looking into midnight Productions I couldn't get back out of the rabbit hole so if you look right here on Google this is how I started my journey you click on midnight Productions in Phoenix this is one of the first things that I started looking into was this Reddit post and this was showing you know a lot of people were commenting saying that yes midnight Productions is a real thing like right here these people are real they're affiliated with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department Hell's Angels as the as well as the Mexican cartel they have access to unlimited weapons and literally unlimited budget they have ties with the state government and I had to move away from there I ran into these kind of people that's why this is a nationwide problem all these comments there's so many comments and this is where you really should start if you want to look into this like I have on these message boards um and it's a lot of people saying you know I've had experiences with midnight Productions and they're real so what's really interesting about all of this to basically explain what midnight Productions is people think that it is a ring operating in Arizona mainly in Phoenix but also in Tucson and Scottdale other smaller cities and this is a ring of individuals with ties to law enforcement with ties to to politicians and hups some people even claim with ties to motorcycle gangs and essentially it's like what I said before midnight Productions is abducting homeless men women sometimes just children in general they are torturing these abducted persons on camera brutally assaulting them and then murdering them and making a profit off of the sale of these tapes and also doing it for some sort of sick sadistic pleasure so as I started going down the midnight Productions Rabbit Hole I started to realize that this isn't just an internet rumor there are thousands tens of thousands of comments and forums that in the past few months I have personally gone through and read through and thousands of people claiming they have had run-ins with midnight Productions people saying they were abducted by them they were by them they escaped they know someone who was tortured by them and they escaped people that they know have disappeared there's names that are brought up addresses locations and in my mind you just can't have so many people talking about something and saying that it's 100% real if there's absolutely nothing to it there's absolutely no reason for these people to be so invested in this story that is just a lie and you're going to see in this documentary when we talk to people in Phoenix Arizona this is not just an internet belief this is a belief that transcends into the real world there and um it's going to get frightening just let's look at a couple more of these comments I mean I heard about this in 2017 from a girl from the Glendale area I was born and raised in Phoenix midnight Productions is an underground snuff film group the police are in it to some extent that's why people are careful to talk about it so here's some mentions of some neighborhoods this is where I met a gentleman who was drug user in this neighborhood he said that he got into talking [ __ ] with this guy about some trashy girl they knew and then he was offered money to quote kill stray dogs on tape I thought it was all [ __ ] until this guy proceeds to pull a VHS tape out of his backpack and when we track down a VCR the video showed some girl giving blank to a guy with a mask she didn't know she was being filmed suddenly he started holding her hair and then started cutting her head off while she was performing that he never stopped using the head even after it was disconnected from the body the same guy told me that they have dudes everywhere that sell MP copies of their snuff films and that one of their providers was the toy box killer Charles Parker Ray that's insane if you don't know that whole story that serial killer the toy box killer had a torture Shack in his trailer he was abducting women and just brutally torturing them inside of this trailer I cannot go into details here if you want to hear that full story Courtney and I did it as an episode of murder in America but it's horrific the things that he was doing and he was filming all this stuff so people are connecting him to it um and every single comment when you go down these forums um yes it's true I did 22 years in prison in Arizona and midnight Productions is a common Talk of the underground and streets it's real [ __ ] and they foul people another comment this midnight production is very very real I used to live in a halfway house with girls from the streets coming in and talking about it they were scared to death and girls I've known who knew about it who eventually went missing so this [ __ ] ain't nothing to mess with you really don't want to know someone was asking this person says you don't want to know what it is unless you're looking for trouble I wrote this thing explaining a lot then I erased it you're poking a wasp's nest so if you get stung it's on you I know nothing about anything good luck I'm just I'm not even kidding you you really need to read through some of these comments because these are people bringing up specific motels they're saying like this woman uh multiple people were involved she was um talking about making these films and movies and then a lot of people saying tread carefully which is a little bit scary because it really seems like a lot of people who have been in Phoenix who understand that midnight Productions is this local kind of urban legend thing well I'd say you get three types of comments from people one midnight Productions doesn't exist that's the basic easy answer here number two you'll get a comment from somebody saying I have had EXP experience with midnight Productions and it's very real and these are very vocal people that are trying to warn others online about this then you have a third type of comment which is simply don't look into this it is a terrible mistake so we knew we had to look into it I mean just look at all of these Reddit posts right you go down and down and down everybody has stories about this sort of thing and it's like it's insane that this has never been seriously looked into I don't think I've ever seen an actual YouTube video that is going in depth about midnight Productions I don't know if people are scared of it or what like even this person I heard about midnight Productions 20 years ago supposedly some guys we hung out with were involved and never went back to their house after I heard the kind of [ __ ] that they were up to and I just don't see why people would lie about all this stuff I mean these are like regular ass comments people like legitimately afraid to even talk about this stuff and yeah as you go down through all of this [ __ ] all of these different Reddit posts and forums people are talking about patterns coming out with their experiences and at one point I got to this Blog the truth or girls blog now this is a really really disturbing article talking about snuff films and in Arizona this blog post discusses people involved in the local government and the Sheriff's Office who are involved in Midnight Productions but what's really interesting about all of that is look at how many comments there are on this post look at this guys and these people are all telling like true stories well according to them true stories um of midnight Productions experiences like midnight Productions big block North of 72nd Avenue this somebody owns a house near north of this address not an urban legend supposed bodies in the backyard first room is the coffin room um anyone who has the balls to speak out has disappeared all of these people talking with really specific details you know what I mean and people just bringing up different murder cases people bringing up sex offenders here's the Three Palms hotel that is going to come up in a little bit in this documentary um I've seen that come up a few times being mentioned but yeah I mean you go down this rabbit hole and I've spent days just reading all this stuff and it's frankly really convincing now something else that's interesting about midnight Productions is how it's tied supposedly According to some people to the unsolved disappearance SL murder of a girl named Mel bigs she was a young girl who disappeared in the Phoenix area decades ago and I had never seen a connection between midnight Productions and this crime until I started researching it and then I came across comments like this I was born and raised in Arizona Small Town between Phoenix and Tucson I learned of midnight Productions as an adult I had moved to Mesa I met a young girl that years before was held hostage for months by a man known as Peg Leg Bill throughout the years in Mesa I met many girls/women that had been connected to midnight Productions Peg like bill came up often I don't know why but some of them would open up they trusted me they told me that he was responsible for the kidnapping of a little girl in Mesa years earlier Mel bigs and she goes on to give a lot of really specific information talking about how once again Mikel bigs was according to her and what people told her murdered on camera um and it's it's really really weird stuff I mean even right here on another unconnected Reddit post from 10 months ago um here's another person talking about Mel bigs uh being kidnapped by the Hell's Angels and then midnight Productions torturing her assaulting her killing her on camera so you think with all these people talking about this online right there would be more people talking about it more videos more a documentary more news articles but there's nothing besides these Forum posts and the thousands and thousand thousands of them and the mentions of midnight Productions and all these specifics there's nothing I even started looking and this was Eerie I started looking into people who also might have looked into midnight Productions in the past I came across this Twitter page going after midnight staffed by investigators examining allegations of an underground organization in Arizona known as midnight Productions they have a contact email but their last tweet was in 2020 it's seems like shortly after they started this project in February of 2020 whoever was running this page disappeared theyve never posted again and I I emailed them I emailed them a couple of times in fact to film this documentary I sent probably 100 to 150 emails somewhere in the middle there and I got no responses from anybody everyone seemed to be too afraid to reach back out to me about speaking on this subject and I thought thought that was weird that this guy just disappeared then there's another guy William Josh Helman I found his page check this out March 8th 2021 he's talking about midnight productions here I have a huge issue here in Phoenix Arizona that needs to be exposed to the rest of the world there's an organization here in the valley that is the most evil thing involving the most evil people alive they pray on people to torment then torture them for film that was March 8th 2021 he has not posted anything on X since is isn't that really strange to you I actually came across a number of different Twitter profiles of people who last tweet was about midnight Productions like they would tweet something about how midnight Productions is coming after them and then they would go completely silent so the there's obviously something going on here in Phoenix Arizona I feel like I've heard this story so many times in high places children being murdered all this stuff being filmed these are common motifs in these stories and as I've dug into these and there are projects that I'm involved with documentaries that are going to be coming out that involve similar topics um the more you dig in the more you realize this stuff is real and you want to fight to expose this filth but after seeing that post and going down that rabbit hole that's why I decided that my next trip was going to be to Phoenix Arizona and so that's why earlier this year that's where we headed to film this documentary now what would follow would be a complete Odyssey of Terror disgust and shock when we first arrived to Phoenix we met up with a guy who runs the YouTube channel Lost in Phoenix now this guy actually interviews homeless individuals in the Phoenix area he tells their stories but I reached out to him and asked if he had ever run into homeless individuals while interviewing in Phoenix that spoke about midnight Productions and shockingly he said he had a lot of information so we met up in a public park and uh I'm going to let him take this away so my name is AR Castro I'm in Phoenix Arizona I have a YouTube channel called Lost in Phoenix uh I go out and I interview folks that are homeless and a lot of the people people homeless here in Phoenix are using Blues counterfeit fentanyl pills that are coming from me Mexico and uh they're very cheap here in Phoenix uh a dollar $2 $3 for a pill which makes it very cheap and readily available and so you have people from out of state coming to Phoenix to for these pills you know and so all day long you're able to interview these folks and trying to try to get them help that's crazy a dollar a pill they used to be last year they were about 50 cents but uh prices fluctuate because of the the supply basically there is a a homeless a pretty significant population here in Phoenix right oh absolutely uh the City of Phoenix estimates 10,000 but I I would easily say 15 20,000 I don't know how they're counting but it's it's just prolif just a lot of people out here and so I guess let's just dig into it so when did you first hear or start hearing about midnight Productions ever since I started so three and a half years ago I would interview people and uh I would ask them tell me about some of the dangers out here and just the first thing they would mention is midnight Productions what is midnight Productions uh and oh just people driving around looking for other people looking for women like girls that are out here homeless no anybody uh but they looks like they they pray on the week you know and so these pills are um counter fenol which is uh um downers basically right so they consume these pills and they're knocked out they're asleep for 30 minutes an hour hours however many pills they consume and so they're very vulnerable right especially when they're by themselves and uh according to what I've heard from different people all throughout the valley so it's not one person right it's just a a wide variety of people uh that have no connection other than living on the streets and so they'll tell me yeah usually I see a car following me uh or a friend of mine was somebody approached but she ran away right so they don't come announce themselves as midnight Productions but um that's the the name that they go by that that these folks are calling them Midnight Productions I'm not sure why but they tell me that um why midnight Productions oh we've heard that they they get they they they'll kidnap you and they'll take you down at somebody's house and they'll make videos of you and uh so they they get pretty graffic about it and so that's uh a lot of people are very aware especially when you're out there on the street very aware of midnight Productions be careful with the police be careful with business owners and be careful with midnight Productions like what's what's happening what are these people explaining goes on when they get abducted so they've mentioned uh sexual assaults that's being filmed and that they're selling them online the the the video videos uh there must be a market you know for that type of stuff that's what they say he's like I don't want to get kidnapped you they say right so you know you we sleep one one eye open or if we're part of a group sleeping sleeping out here on the streets uh we'll take turns you sleep while I stay awake right and uh but that's they're they're but what if you're by yourself right it's what do you do so it's the kind of like luck of the draw and uh but definitely um it's kind of like sex slave uh sexual uh men women it doesn't matter they'll capture it on video and uh and put it out there children too allegedly right the youngest person I've seen out here was 13 years old that's crazy 13 years old smoking these pills in front of my eyes so I've seen it you know if they're going why not why wouldn't they right so so I've seen 13y olds 15y olds out here at these pills out here walking around at night so you got somebody they're not they're not going to worry about a jug to snatch you up and do whatever they want with you you know so definitely scary out here well there's a market for snuff films we've explored obviously there's a market for salt forced you know so it all makes sense that this could be happening but I'm curious have you heard stories of them being tied into murders a couple people have said uh we haven't heard from my friend Monica right uh we were all knocked out we all did pills um and uh we woke up Monica wasn't here but we heard car a car and something so when they're they're high off these pills there there's there's not much they can do you know cuz they're very vulnerable right they're just knocked out not a lot of strength not a lot of awareness of what's going on around them and so um and so they were talking about a Monica that they haven't seen seen her Monica's gone right so where's Monica that yeah we don't follow police reports because you I think they say they've told me I think the police are involved you know uh we go to the police and they just say it's a rumor it's like um no police now we haven't seen it we've never heard about it but they say how can so how how can so many people be missing right cuz uh Monica and this other person this other group you know and so the valley is so uh wide so very um spread out it's a it's a the City of Phoenix is very big and so uh but the same people that telling me something on the West Side might not know people on the east side but they're telling me the same thing you know about people missing basically right so no concrete murdered right because nobody nobody's ever found right and that's well I think that's part of the baked in part of midnight Productions is that they're allegedly abducting people assaulting them killing them on camera and then disposing of the body which is like we talked before we started rolling about organ harvesting and how there was that you know human Chop Shop that was uncovered here what year 2016 do you remember that that's something that's um again more rumors you know that I've heard on the streets right um is that uh you have to be careful uh because they say so other people have talked about uh organ harvesting but they didn't tie it into midnight Productions what I think is that they might not have heard midnight Productions but they've heard about the organ harvesting right so um uh so uh you got all these people that uh aren't putting it all together right but since you're doing this and since I'm out there if we put the pieces together M there people like midnight Productions snuff films assaults murder organ harvesting and and how do you create awareness other than talking about it and making people aware right so exactly so what have you heard about organ harvesting that's super interesting is that something people actually are telling you is happening yeah so again a couple people people have mentioned um when I ask them like what do you think uh midnight Productions is doing uh they've mentioned organ harvesting you know and uh if you haven't seen Monica or your friends again like where do you where is that coming from from I heard from so and so right so the the homeless Community they the people doing Blues as well uh is uh they they keep each other in the loop right uh for safety for awareness for protection uh they're very informed a lot of them have cell phones you know there's a lot of free cell phones out here that the government gives to these people to for you know emergency and whatnot so uh they they're in the loop they're in the no uh they watch these videos right interview people and they watch their vid these videos so they uh they're the ones that are mentioning to me about Oregon harvesting and so what they'll say is uh so again we hear about midnight Productions people like midnight Midnight Productions you mean there's other people we've heard that there's other groups right other people out here uh pick trying to pick up the us vulnerable folks that are out here right they're saying I don't want to be one of them I I don't want to disappear because eventually I want to get better I want to get well I want to go go to treatment I've just been out here for a year two years right I'm not ready to get treatment but I want to get out of here before midnight Productions gets me is they they literally say that so you you'd say after interviewing people time and time again here that like members of the homeless Community are actually afraid of midnight Productions like they express that to you oh absolutely yeah I again I I'll I'll mention uh I don't initiate the conversation about midnight Productions because I've never seen them I don't know them right so my question to the folks I interview is what scares you about being out here what fears do you have about being out here the police you know business owners calling the police and midnight Productions tell me more I understand why you'd be scared of the police right you probably have a warrant you want to be arrested right cuz if you get arrested 2 3 days a week in jail you you don't want to go through withdrawals that's probably why the police yeah definitely well what about midnight production kidnappings and this is what I've heard right of kidnappings is what they say and and my friends you know tell me right I here in the homeless Community this is what they what we talk about right to stay safe and be aware you know hey last night we heard about midnight Productions over here on this side of town be careful so they keep each other in the loop right uh but it's like a Bigfoot people hear about it but really nobody's really concrete you know anything physical and so that also leads me before we started rolling we also talked about how you interviewed someone whose daughter went missing yes and there's just no trace of her right she's been missing for about five six years now she has three children she left behind she was struggling uh homeless using blues and right in the heart of it right in the middle of where it's all happening and so I interviewed the mom and she mentioned um she just disappeared she filed a report with the the city of uh the City of Phoenix Police Department and uh where is she at and nobody's heard from her and so people are disappearing right the weird thing is when it's like a crime like a murder a fight something you you find them right you find them deceased somewhere right out in the desert in a car at a park you you you know I've interviewed a lot of people unfortunately they're no longer here right uh they're deceased due to overdoses uh violence people like this young lady just missing so she's somewhere you know and so again is she a victim of organ harvesting is she a victim of uh sex sex trade you know involvement you know but again if you if you kind of tell put together what they're saying and different people and and she could possibly be a victim of that for sure it's really interesting because yeah like you said if someone's murdered OD their bodies there but I feel like that's a common thing that even I've heard and done some research on this people from the homeless Community here in Phoenix just vanish Into Thin Air and I even read I don't know if you remember this but I read rumors that there was a serial killer targeting homeless individuals in Phoenix like years ago and now that I've been hearing about this midnight production stuff it's like hm really makes you think if all this is like connect it could it could very well be we've had serial killers here Baseline killer they leave their bodies the bodies are found and that's how Clues are garnered and after a while that's enough to get them arrested right these uh serial Shooters serial killers we've had in Phoenix 15 years ago 10 years ago but when there's no body you know like it's something um it's like a group or is doing a uh a a great job of disposing of evidence so that they can't be it can't be tied back to them right so where's the body what are they doing with the organs or are they just captured and and sit in somewhere in somebody's basement and just making uh these snuff films all day long right uh involved in a sex trait in in in a different country in a different city to get them out of here it's just um and these are all things you hear from the people that I interviewed you know a lot of it I don't post online but these are stories that I hear can't post it I just don't put post it online because it's it's uh some something gets too graphic right too scary and and and sometimes they don't they tell me you know what I don't want to talk about midnight Productions they tell me that you know I've heard of them I know I I've heard of those stories just don't ask me midnight production questions they tell me so there's a genuine fear from folks you know it's palpable and so that's scary because uh there has to be something to it exactly can't be a m that's what we were saying like hundreds of people that I mean you dozens of people that you've talked to personally that are afraid it's like there's always something behind these stories like I understand people that are going to watch this and think it's like a boogeyman story of chasing something that doesn't exist but when you have people disappearing you have hundreds of people just that I've read online talking about how they escaped midnight Productions and their friend did or their friend was killed by them it's like there's substance here and nobody is talking about it which I think is crazy one thing I asked these folks I'll say how do you make money how do you make money to support your habit I wash windows I open doors or stores and they I Panhandle uh some girls they'll admit I do dates so what what's doing a date you know guys come up and they solicit and they want me to get in their car and they'll you know we negotiate on what they want me to do and and the price and we just get it done so I've had a couple ladies say I don't do that anymore why so two weeks ago some guy got me in his car drove me out in the desert locked his doors drove me out in the desert and just started hitting me after having sex with me and um thankfully I escaped and I ran I I opened the door I ran out of his car it was out in the middle of nowhere it was dark I ran ran ran I hid and he left it took me 2 hours to get back in the city I was naked I'm like oh my gosh you know and that was her story but other people have told me about guys you know is it so so there has to be something to it was that guy midnight Productions and and is that how they do it they solicit these young vulnerable women they know they're vulnerable they know they need money they'll do anything for the money so if you put all the pieces together it could be you know that you know midnight production that's those stories are haunting and to also think about the fact that like Polie don't take it seriously and that stuff even if midnight Productions isn't real and that stuff is happening that's deeply disturbing that there are still men in the city that are doing this actively to women praying on those extremely vulnerable and getting away with it absolutely no yeah absolutely uh so so the whole uh purpose of my channel is prevention through awareness by me interviewing these folks and how did you come out here how' you start using Blues who introduced you to Blues what dangers are out here I'm not trying to save the person I'm talking to cuz they have to save themselves B about the 12 13-year-old young girl at home that's lost confused getting you know fighting with their par her parents before she ends up out in the street she needs to hear that interview from this young woman that just escaped somebody's you know uh attempted kidnapping and God knows what else right so um that's really the intent of my channel while I've been doing this for three and a half years talking to a thousand people you get these stories that are summer more creepier than the than others you know and mind you a lot of people don't tell me what they go through because they know that their mom their family are going to watch the video and that kind of scares them a little bit because they don't want to scare their family they're already scared you know and so again it's good to talk about this because uh the youngsters at home to not have them come out here these are the dangers nothing glamorous nothing fun lots of danger where people want to end your life they want to make you disappear you know so what what's it going to take you know for us to sound an alarm uh why don't you go to the police I don't the police don't don't believe me they say first off I have a warrant I don't want to talk to the police you know cuz they'll take me to jail but we have we I know friends have gone to the police and they don't take us seriously they we're just crackheads to them we're just addicts you know just with tall tales and and stories you know just for attention and whatnot but no we have friends that are missing you know what about these people that escaped they don't want to a lot of these folks aren't going to aren't willing to be on a police report mhm that's what it is so it's so is it hard for the Phoenix Police Department to escalate and really really dig in and and and and you know do their job because they're not going to have anybody corroborating it you know mhm I'm not sure well I mean it's just like the invisible crime and all that stuff that happens that is never reported you know how many murders every year are not reported and domestic violence incidents it's crazy I I saw something that was like hundreds of thousands I might be wrong on that but there's a really big number of like just domestic violence incidents that go unreport stuff that's happening that we just don't know about because it's not in a statistic and that's what's happening here I think no you're absolutely right this uh community of thousands of people out here they don't call the police when they're fighting you know when they're injured when they're stabbed when they're fighting with each other cuz they want to take their property they want to take their phone they want to take their clothes their shoes you know uh I inter they have black eyes you know uh they have wounds you know what happened I fell no you you know fall are you okay yeah I fell so um but that's how I've interviewed uh people they have a broke they have broken legs broken fingers why don't you want to go to the hospital why don't you want to call the police they just won't mhm these pills numb pain so there's a lot that they can put up with as far as pain because it it numbs them it's a it's a it's opiate basically it's really scary what they're willing to put up with for the addiction of these pills you know even possibly losing their life with the overdose or somebody kidnapping them and doing whatever they want to do with them you know but I think these conversations need to be had because uh somebody with authority needs to really dig in and and and you know investigate what's happening who is midnight productionist let's you know Shine the light on it and what's going on you know some undercover stuff or I don't know but uh the more we talk about it the more maybe they'll put pressure on them to really dig in and that so I have a couple more questions so do you you keep saying like some of the stories are creepier than others do you have any specific stories from people about something that happened to them or a friend with midnight Productions that stick out to you uh there was a guy uh he said he he he said a guy approached him to do a date he said um so I've been heterosexual all my life I've always like women but I've been addicted to these pills so much I need money so bad I'm going get in a car with somebody that's soliciting you know he said that guy got uh very aggressive and uh wanted to harm him and he escaped as well they were doing what they were doing in the car and uh he was asking me if he want do you want to go back to my house you know I'll give you more money that's the lure you know mhm and uh no it's okay dude just give me the you know what we agreed on you know we're good and uh he tried to he tried to keep them he tried to you know keep them in his car and and and and so um again it's a pattern you know so it's not just women you know and mind you this this guy he was just doing what he was doing to to get money you know and so it's that addiction side of it and just that the things that you don't you don't really hear about you know you know these are things that people don't really discuss you know especially on the streets you know and I never published that because he bro I'm just going to tell you okay just cuz I feel comfortable with you he said yeah definitely don't upload the video you know uh because I don't want my family to see that you know it's a struggle out here you know so um some stories are creepier than others you know with the violence the the just the sheer amount of violence that they see on a daily basis you know um they've told me I've seen people getting raped I've I've woken up and there's like some strange man I've never met before laying next to me I don't know what happened last night cuz I was high off these pills they numb you the pills numb you it's a vulnerable Community MH it it really is and so the people these people that are creeping on these folks know it are they purposely buying them pills and giving them these pills and get them really high to really have them make them even more vulnerable and just do whatever so that's the scary part about about this that you hear all this uh from all over the valley and if you put it together it it it makes sense you know so it's a it's a really sad I mean it's one thing even midnight Productions can just be a blanket statement too at the end of the day evil stuff is happening and people are being prayed on people are dying people are getting red and this is a problem whether or not you believe in Midnight Productions or think that other people might be involved in this stuff I mean these people are being victimized every day it's happening and so they're so addicted that they're unwilling to file reports they're unwilling to call the police and talk to them you know I think because I've built a rapport with these folks that I'm not trying to get them trouble I'm not going to you know I'll respect their privacy if you don't want me to tell this story or upload it or whatever all right I thank you for letting me know uh building that trust and so uh you bring up a good point the more we talk about it right whether it's a a legitimate group of people that they themselves call themselves midnight Productions or it's you know random guys that aren't connected but are obviously victimizing the this this vulnerable population it's disgusting and it definitely needs to be uh uh talked about and uh create awareness and prevent people from coming out here because we don't want more young people disappearing you know it's unfortunate that they're uh going through this addiction and this stage in their life but uh there are people I interviewed they're they're clean now they're they're sober MH you know so sometimes people trip up and and and and and sobriety is just around the corner but can they do they survive these these horror stories right getting kidnapped and midnight Productions and rapes and all these things that that are are happening unfortunately you know it's just a lot of those victims don't come forward yeah they just don't come forward just in just normal people in society right they I'm ashamed I'm embarrassed I don't want nobody to know so I'm just going to not tell anybody right well that's that's even more uh true for this population you know that are really hiding from the police really hiding from it's right below the surface it's right below you know the the world that you and I live in you know it's you know at night stuff goes on that you know while we're sleeping it's a different world you know that there's different rules different different everything so it's it's really sad indeed so have people brought up to you any like locations or areas that they're specifically afraid of when it comes to midnight Productions or areas that they are known to like stalk uh so there is wherever these folks are at that's where they're the the midnight production is going to be at so these cars are creeping this guy's watching me it's all over the valley mhm because I the north side the South Side the East Side the West Side different people that don't know each other have mentioned this to me that's how I give give it Credence and legitimacy is because different people that don't know each other mention this you know uh are they in white van somebody said a white van I saw all black car no license plate Two Guys somebody said it was one guy is he black is he Hispanic is he white yeah it's all of that so that's the problem is that it's nothing concrete it's just what people say and and rumor gossip inuendo but again there's a amongst all that there's some credibility in in that you know so because so many people are saying it and they don't know any none of them know each other so they're corroborating the stories by just you know telling them that's exactly what I'm uh you know at first when I heard about you just just Tall Tales but then when different people throughout the valley cuz again the valley is very spread out right you go from one end of the valley to to the other end it takes you an hour but these people don't talk to each other it's just they have the same lifestyle addiction homelessness s vulnerabilities and so that's what gives it an air of uh legitimacy to me like oh shoot this is true right cuz they're saying they're describing the same situations the same type of events out here you know so there and and and uh and that's the worst part about it is that it just adds another layer for them to be uh that they're susceptible to you know and so uh so we have those conversations and you know you'd be surprised how people say don't yeah don't don't ask me any midnight questions on when I interview them you know you we can talk about it right now off camera but I don't want my name associated with my Productions and uh why they'll say I don't want my family to worry more right cuz they're already worried they think I'm a OD any day now right so that's one worry and then the other worry is midnight Productions they kill people they make people disappear so I really don't want them to my mom to worry even more you another layer of of uh worry for my mom or even expose yourself talking about it and let them know they exactly you know something there's a face to someone who knows about it and I mean then that makes you like a number one victim exactly so if these people exist they're watching these channels these they're watching these interviews they're going to be watching this video right guarantee right and so uh again that's why we have to have the courage to shed light on it shed light on it make it aware make awareness and uh and uh and hopefully again authorities investigate just dig in to what's really happening right there's only so much you can do and that I can do ultimately authorities going to have to really dig in and uh go go try to find these people you know and uh and go find these people that that are missing right so um uh I think it's uh that's why I agree to talk because I think uh you know I appreciate you guys you know wanting to dig into it because in three and a half years nobody's ever asked me about it you know it's crazy and so I've had detectives from the city Phoenix call me right about uh people I have interviewed you know State of Arizona hey you interviewed this person where are they you know we the State of Arizona are are responsible for taking care of you know so people reach out to me that are of Authority police the state but why are they not reaching out about these folks right that's so I know they're watching what I'm saying is I know authorities are watching my channel they because they literally call me but why are they not asking about this group of people that're out here victimizing these uh victims you know so um but the more we shake the trees I think uh eventually they'll have to you kind of have to answer the call at some point some point so I guess final question you believe that whether or not it's midnight Productions or not there is a group that's doing this stuff right without a doubt do you think it's midnight Productions I'm going to say yes because that's the name that these folks know them by you know so who came up with the name right if nobody has escaped their grasp where did the name come from is it just what the this population identifies them as just to give them a name so I'm going to say yes and regardless if there's no name if it's just random individuals doing the same things victimizing these people they they still need to be stopped yeah right whether it's a group or individuals just randomly doing this on their own they need to be stopped as well because there's a there's a definitely people are being victimized for sure and some of the people I've interviewed where are they haven't heard from them their parents call me hey you interviewed my daughter two years ago have you seen her I haven't where are they it's freaky well thanks man appreciate you having the discussion with us some really dark stuff but yeah I mean based on what we've heard from multiple people now there is 100% something that is going on at minimum even if it's not you know shadowy criminal Enterprise called m Productions and you it's interesting hearing the stories of repeated people targeting them with cars you know cuz what you read online is they got me to get into the car and then they brought me back to a house where they videotaped me getting and I managed to get away it just makes me wonder how many people have't got away right there's no census you know the homeless population really cuz so many people are just out there and it's unfortunate that that's what like Society with deem is people that aren't worthy of help you know it's such a callous mentality that people have but it's true the people that I interview are uh so we have a pretty extensive network of Highways freeways here in Phoenix uh and the people that I interview they're right off the freeway right off the freeway right off the the freeway uh because the dealers easy access to go drop stuff off get their money and get on the freeway and boom they're out right uh Quick Trip QT Circle K convenience storage gas you know so you'll have a lot of people that I interview hanging out at these stores uh because that's how they Panhandle and that's how they they meet their plug their uh their dealer and so but who else is using it the the the people that are in them the the midnight Productions or the individuals you know okay let me go look for a victim oh shoot she's by herself oh she's right off the freeway let me go try to lure her with 50 bucks to get in my vehicle for you know so a a date that's it that's the last time anybody is going to see that person you know that's the craziest part too I mean cuz you can pull up to a gas station and look like a just normal Citizen and no one would bad ey about it and it doesn't make you stand out and so it's not that like oh Shady car driving down a back alley where no one's there and he sees a girl walking there and like grabs them pulls them in their car I mean it's it might happen every once in a while but in reality this is probably how it's happening and I mean that's that's just really freaky to me normal looking people doing evil things and this is so prevalent with this popul population here in Phoenix Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the nation we have such a big problem with with these individuals right just so many Society doesn't acknowledge them anymore no I don't got a dollar you know it's the kind of throwaways we don't pay attention anymore we just step over them that the guy that's laying on the sidewalk we just step over them and instead of checking if they if they're okay if they're alive you know I've been driving I've literally seen dead bodies in the in the alley you know and so uh we come become so used to it accustomed to it that the bad guys take advantage of that MH you know that's what's going on that that adds to to it I I believe I firmly believe in that all that is incredibly disturbing stuff they're torturing people abducting people people selling and harvesting organs and it it's only going to get worse from there now I want to point out weirdly I had for this trip this was the first video I ever filmed with that big VHS camera you've seen me using and the entire tape of the midnight production stuff that we shot completely broke I don't know what happened there like the whole tape is gone so a bunch of b-roll got lost stuff from interviews and just little things but I'm going to cut right now to our first night in Phoenix when we set out to investigate midnight Productions and uh and this is where it gets really scary all right so we just got to Phoenix today our plan was to interview some of the people who unfortunately live here on the streets of Arizona um we wanted to try talk to some people but the sunset's really early here and uh we didn't even realize there's the final four college basketball teams playing a championship in town but we're starting off tonight obviously we're going to take you guys with us as we explore some of these spots that I've done some research into I just want to point this out I think it's weird so I bought this Sony VHS camera for this trip because I I love the VHS look I you guys have seen it in my documentaries in the past I try to put VHS glitches so I figured why not get an old camera and actually film on it I popped in this tape that the guy bought it from sent with us and it's like video of a bunch of kids in Mexico on a mission trip and I don't know isn't that just kind of strange like I feel like it's really weird when we're filming a video right now about like and and like just a random videotape of children who knows like what the hell happened to these kids like where they ended up this is from 2003 and look here I'll play you a clip but I'm going to have to cut the music cuz there's like some copyrighted music behind it but look at this [Music] please continue praying for our brothers and sisters in aguita is that I just think it's bizarre man it's obviously nothing but I just think with the subject matter that we're diving into on this video it's really an odd synchronicity and it's I don't know we're both a little nervous tonight but I guess it's time to head off man you ready let's do it so before we head out tonight I just want to State this is our first night and this is a story that I've been passionate about diving into for months now so it's weird to be here in person but it's also kind of eerie because to me two distinct possibilities exist in this case on one hand you have the possibility that all this is fake none of it's happening there's no child there's no murder ring that's abducting homeless women women videotaping them being tortured and and murdered that doesn't exist the other possibility the only other possibility is that this stuff is happening here in Phoenix where we are and nobody's talking about it and by barking up the wrong tree who [ __ ] knows what's going to happen definitely a little more on edge ghost hunting is easy Connor and I say it we're not afraid of ghosts definitely afraid of the living and these people if they're real could definitely kill us so people people are way more scary than a ghost is I mean the things that we're pursuing tonight this is stories of murderers people who are dismembering people assaulting them them I mean this is some really really [ __ ] up [ __ ] that we're getting into and there's people that are coming up missing about stuff like this that are talking about this so I mean it's it's really scary stuff well I think it's time we go man I think so you ready let's do [Music] [Music] it so right now we're driving in Phoenix the first place we wanted to go visit was a number of areas in town that are known for sex trafficking these areas are sex trafficking hotspots right now we are approaching 51st Avenue in McDow this is an area where I've seen plenty of news reports about how many prostitution stings have occurred here something Eerie that I think about is let's say you see a sex worker on the street more than likely that means that the person pimping them out controlling them in the trafficker they're probably somewhere in the area too I don't know I just feel like if midnight Productions is real and they're operating and they're doing some skey [ __ ] I feel like this would be definitely an area that they could potentially Target it's almost like the hunting grounds of these people and yeah I mean we've passed easily five six women walking up and down the street just now which is sad and terrifying at the same time I can't even imagine you know can't imagine what it's like this is just the start 51st Avenue and McDow here in Phoenix this is a sex trafficking hot spot here in the city this stuff by the way is happening everywhere in America in every city in America every single day it just isn't talked about GE hear somebody [ __ ] like screaming mhm was that so all the b-roll of that street and these houses that we're going to be talking about all that stuff is gone because it was on that camera but I do want to point out the thing that I was really pissed off that we lost on that camera was a small clip so Connor and I stopped at erasing canes cuz we saw what looked like a police officer outside he ended up just being security but we got out of the car we went over and we asked the security guard what what do you know about midnight Productions and sex trafficking in this area and he literally looked like a ghost his color drained from his face he looked at us and he said don't say that too loudly around here and be careful who you asked that to and we were like what do you mean he's like this is just a really bad part of town man you don't know like who's out here which we got back into the car after that and we were like holy that is crazy h um so we had already come across a guy out in public who seemed to believe in Midnight Productions after that we knew that I'm really really mad that I lost that clip cuz I know somebody out there's going to be like oh that didn't happen but it did swear on everything in my life it did happen but after that we started heading through the midnight Productions hotspots where the torture hotels snuff film rooms all that is located is the world's oldest profession on the ride in your neighborhood two sex trafficking survivors driving across the valley with us pointing out the places they used to work that could see a Resurgence it's Thursday night just after 11:00 when most of the valley is asleep 27th Avenue between Indian School and Northern starts to come alive dozens of women walking the streets selling sex for money it took no time at all to see AC activ ity and in a 30 minute span are 12 News cameras capturing Phoenix police officers questioning two women on suspicion of prostitution they find out this girl is just 17 so they hold her until she gets picked up by a relative any stretch of road that you have girls working on is attract this woman claiming to be visiting from out of town a story they've heard several times over with no evidence of a crime being committed they let her go she goes back to walking up and down the track this routine painfully familiar for two young women I know these sidewalks by heart both of them sex trafficking survivors I would come out at like 7 or maybe 8:00 at night and I would be out here until 600 or 7 the next morning I dealt with all different kinds of people from all different economic background there was no way to anticipate what your day was going to look like and who you were going to have to spend it with another busy spot 51st Avenue and McDow a lot of these hotels like would have trick stain in them too and a couple of blocks from there the truck stopped just south of the 10 I would try my hardest to make enough money to not have to go to the truck stop pretty much any part of town that you go in there's going to be somewhere where this is going going on yeah I was scared but I I guess I had to do it or I thought I had to do it in the case of nearly every sex trafficking victim they're working under the control of a pimp according to these survivors he was almost always close by lingering at a bar or gas station he would be there as soon as it was done i' come and pick up the money so everything that we present here on this episode has to be taken with a grain of salt like I've said many times we're actively investigating a sex ring that has never been caught has never been proven but there are hundreds of alleged victims that have shared their testimonies and I did a ton of research for this video like days days and days of research and an address that consistently kept appearing in the research is in this neighborhood right here which is creepy being here right now because I've seen images of this neighborhood on Google apparently in one of these houses there is a torture murder hotel is what they refer to it as basically it's a building where some of the traffickers from Midnight Productions in the past have taken victims assaulted them on video tortur Ted them and murdered them created these snuff films in a house on this in this area obviously yeah we don't know if that's we don't know if that's true I have nothing that could possibly prove that that's true other than the fact that on like five different message boards that I found talking about this stuff there were different users from different years discussing this house in this area this is a very normal very normal looking neighborhood You' just expect families to be living here you would never imagine the things that happen here are straight out of aing nightmare the details of this whole case read like a horror movie it's fing Eerie supposedly right around here and the people that I read talking about this said that there are multiple bodies buried on this property and let the police know that this is happening and obviously part of the whole thing is that they're in on it this is what sex trafficking looks like this is what F Rings look like they look like normal houses on normal streets with normal people that live in them it's just the things that they do behind the closed doors that are as far from normal as you can possibly get I just wanted to drive through this area and kind of show you guys what it looks like dude look it more cops this is like I don't know what the hell happened tonight but dude look at him bro what the [ __ ] train's coming [Applause] weird did you notice that none of them were marked cars yeah when do you see that even I I think it's really weird that there was that many on but they're all unmarked cars that was crazy dude we're on the trail of midnight Productions and we've I've done a lot of research into this subject I don't know what's going on in Phoenix in this area this evening there is a massive police presence back when we were filming just 30 minutes ago we saw what five cars speeding by and just now right here we saw an additional five four police cars and we could hear sirens we're in Tempe Arizona which is 20 20 or so minutes from where we were just filming right behind me you can see this is the Hayden Mill The Old Mill in Tempe this area has come up in the the last decade couple of decades like a lot of these buildings are new and back in the day this Old Mill was just completely abandoned and actually the renovation just started on this place a couple years back but from what I researched online I also saw multiple people talking about how this Mill back when it was empty used to be a midnight Productions Hots spot I mean when you think about it it's perfect a building like this is still in the city limits but it's very very isolated it's huge there's multiple levels to it if it's true the authorities were in on this whole thing they could have been protecting you know making sure nobody came in under the guys of trespassing while some weird [ __ ] was going down and from what we've gathered tonight some weird there's some weird [ __ ] going on in Phoenix so look at that that yeah this light is crazy bright dude it's not only crazy it's absolutely Eerie to me to think about just what happened inside of this building I mean genuinely once again if you go with the whole who knows if this is true or not if this is true if this story actually happened that means there were multiple people murdered assaulted then murdered mutilated tortured on camera inside of this building and it's been completely covered up I'm not going to say that it's true but if you do research into the subject this place comes up a lot as a hot spot so we can walk over look at it I mean seriously imagine back in the day this is shrouded in darkness there's a tunnel providing access into that huge building exit without anybody seeing you like that's filled in for a reason stuff's just been put in there so the next day we wanted to get up and go ask members of the local home homeless population for ourselves do you guys know what midnight Productions is and even if you don't know who or what midnight Productions is do you know just in general anybody who's gone missing off the streets who's vanished because it's not like if someone disappears in Phoenix they're just going to come out and Proclaim it's midnight Productions and we took them like they're going to leave no evidence at all and if you really consider this Theory as involving authority figures police law enforcement these people are going to make sure that their tracks are completely covered and they're not going to leave any evidence and like I said if there's authorities in it they even could go in and delete security camera footage um lie make false police reports falsify evidence there's a lot of reasons why this stuff could be covered up so easily but let's talk to those guys on the street now hi my name is George from Phoenix Arizona and what I've heard about midnight Productions yeah but yeah I've heard about that and that no that's not [ __ ] that's just not good I don't like that [ __ ] about man coming around women like how is that how are you going to do that how are you just going to come around a woman that you don't even know or anything like how you going to come from another state or wherever you're you're from and come to Phoenix Arizona and just be trying to rap somebody or something like that's not good people talk about like they would kidnapped kids and and would put them in crates or some [ __ ] like that and they'll take them somewhere and nobody wouldn't know where they're at and yeah take them somewhere and just hide them and keep them but the like it's crazy cuz uh I know what I know how it is here um born and raised from Phoenix Arizona and even though I'm born and raised but I kind of hate Phoenix Arizon right now just cuz all the [ __ ] that's going on here like dude that's not right and especially with going especially with going people people going around trying to rimon like no how you just going to go and do that that's not right have you ever heard of anybody getting abducted and just never being seen again that you've known at the time I am currently homeless and I hate it but it's something I'm going through so yes a few weeks ago I was by the shelter some guy picked up some girl and ever since I have not seen her you have any idea where she went or who would have taken her I don't know I know it was some white guy but I don't know where he was from I don't know nothing about him he just came up rolling around and that's what's crazy too cuz people when you stay downtown a lot of people just work around here they think they can roll around downtown and just pick somebody up the how long is that girl been missing from what I known of now maybe a little over a month and a half now Dam damn right over in this area yes cuz this is like doing our research this is this whole area is like real bad like yes thing well what's crazy there's people that talk about midnight Productions online and three of the addresses that they listed were on Van beeren and like in this F Mile Stretch yes of Like Houses where they take these women and film them getting like raped and murdered which ising scary one of the locations is like behind the boxing gym over oh yeah literally right there what about you guys have you heard anything about midnight Productions or sex trafficking what I heard a little bit about into and they talked about like how how how they would capture these people and and they'll bring them to a place to where they don't know where they're at but then yeah like they'll try to they're like ins some kind of some kind of tunnel drug them or something and they'll they'll take them somewhere to where like they they try they not trying to know where they're at but it's crazy cuz some women sometimes too even though when they do that they still know where they're at they're they're looking out where they're going and that's always a good thing but from what I've heard lately nobody's been looking out and yes I've heard about one woman up here being abducted and just disappeared and I ain't seen her ever since and it's been over a month and a half going on 2 months now Dam and she was a real beautiful woman when when they capture these people like you don't see their face cuz their face is covered and there so can't really yeah three guys tried to grab one of my friends uh his girlfriend from parking lot really they went there together and and she was waiting outside the car and he was walking away from the car and then he just stopped and I don't know I'm not sure why he turned around to look you know he he turned around and looked at her and he seen three guys with mask on like he just said and grabbing her and then he ran back and they got to a fist fight and the three guys ran off ho the car left that's [ __ ] scary yeah you know I don't know if that's any connection to anything but that's I mean that's not a everyday carment you know no like honestly I can tell you I can tell you this just I can tell you this right now too I was by the shelter right down the street and I guess some woman that stays there she not all there she talks to herself yeah a lot of them like that and just cuz she said you you're you bit or something something some guy goes and starts beating her up and starts dumping on her head like how the you going to be doing that dude and then what I didn't like either is a security guard came up to him and talked to him and I just let him go like what the [ __ ] how the you going to do that dude I see a lot of that [ __ ] here Phoenix especially you mean just like violence yeah violence a lot of racially uh motivated um events and where I'm from New York the midnight nothing like this nothing like this oh you know I've been here for almost 3 years and this is like another world mhm you know homeless issue the drug issues the lack of concern from the government mhm you know what the women being assaulted Vanishing no no big deal people sitting on the corner doing drugs not a big deal you know someone homeless sitting on the sidewalk sleeping on the sidewalk not a big deal it's crazy you don't care it's crazy too because I mean with the research that we've done a lot of people are saying that I mean the police and the government are involved in Midnight Productions yeah they're letting it happen they're all involved they're not going to and they're not going to tell you nothing so someone go is missing someone files a police report they're not going to do anything about it they not going to do anything they're just going to let everything happen they're literally just going to make it look like oh well the it's it's on police hands yeah like police can handle it but what are the police going to do about it nothing they're just going to sit there maybe look through it for maybe a day or two and after that it's nothing to them look at Montana over 20 years all these women on this once one particular stretch of road Vanishing you would think in 20 years you you know find the lead or something right I mean something no I've known a lot of women here that I seen every day spoke to but that [ __ ] van happen here a lot really just next day weren't at breakfast weren't there W answer my calls nothing then next day call again the phone number's out of service really yeah you know these people are whether they're from Arizona or have family here just vanish gone yeah that's fuing scary I mean granted you know it's got to allow for you know people sometimes just pack up and leave and move yeah [ __ ] happens but the people that are supposed to be looking after everybody out here isn't doing their job and so whether or not the police are involved in it there's not Justice they'll look for a few weeks but then after that cuz they don't know what's going on like okay well if she's okay or if they're okay we'll hear back from them yeah and even if midnight Productions isn't real but people are still getting abducted and like just you know it's like it'sing wild to me that the police don't actually treat any of this seriously or the local government like what do you guys think could be done to like help the situation yesterday that I seen that woman get into her her head th on that guy [ __ ] went up to him he try he hadn't stopped for a little bit like maybe 5 10 minutes after that he let him go couple other security guards r r running after him they caught him cops showed up but the dude was already gone he ran yeah so what do you even do at that point they're already gone yeah there's nothing nobody can do yeah once he leave the scene it's kind of hard to make an arrest or get a proper conviction has to have some kind of validity somewhere well awesome guys I don't want so after speaking with those guys it was it was really really starting to get real I mean these are people who have had experiences with women going missing off of the streets Phoenix itself has hundreds um of homeless deaths every single year I remember seeing a news report I played a little bit of it at the beginning I believe last year halfway through the year they had 300 homeless deaths already um which which is hard to believe and and those are just I believe the deaths I don't even know unfortunately if somebody who has no family who's out alone on the streets if they have no connections to anybody if they went missing who would even be there to report it you know as sad as that sounds um so you really don't even know midnight Productions could be snatching these people off of the streets and if they pick these targets that are completely alone they're extremely vulnerable they're drugged up it's it's unfortunate but it's it would almost be like they vanished but we wanted to get some cold heart information so that afternoon we met with the Arizona anti-trafficking Network which is a group dedicated to exposing sex traffickers educating the public on what sex trafficking is and protecting our youth and here's our interview with them first I would just like you guys to introduce yourselves and kind of the organization that you're with all my name is Stacy Southerland and I work for the Arizona anti-trafficking Network and we cover the State of Arizona fighting human trafficking through prevention education awareness Outreach um and then we have a scholarship fund for survivors of human trafficking my name is Nate Bolter also with aat and I'm currently running the city program where we go out and train cities and get them designated As anti-trafficking Cities awesome our our actually our our vision is create in Arizona where no one has bought sold or exploited and I think we can agree like the number one thing that we can do is bring awareness and education to people because there are so many misnomers of what human trafficking really is but then when you talk about that there's other things that we do as a part of that like prevention efforts with youth like uh very vulnerable youth um Outreach with those who um might be in a trafficking situation everybody has a role to play and that's kind of our goal is getting everyone in Arizona involved no matter what they do or who they are it's a good way to look at it I mean really when you think about it it is every single part of society is kind of touched by this yeah every single time we go out do a training somebody comes up to you afterwards and says I have a private question or hey I have a family member doing this and and truly like especially right now and you guys have a lot of social media presence and everything like that those platforms for kids and predators are like synonymous and so we really need to do a lot of age appropriate prevention and education for those groups because that's what leads those kids into that stuff and that's where you know our predators are is all online for people who might be watching this video and are kind of just they don't really understand what sex trafficking is and what it looks like can you guys just explain the concept the way we look at it is children under the age of 18 cannot consent to commercial sex that's a federal law and then most state laws mimic that federal law so when we say commercial sex and exchanging something for Value literally we can assign value to any item in this world so if they're trading sexs for drugs a place to say a McDonald's cheeseburger a Louis Vuitton bag whatever they're trading that sex act for we consider them to be victims of trafficking they don't have to have a trafficker to be a victim of trafficking so even if that juvenile is you know doing it on their own without that third party there's still a trafficking victim so that makes it really really easy so a buyer can be charged as a trafficker a lot of our victims who are adults now got started as Youth and so and then I mean we just had a case pop up recently where the victim was 50 years old so it's not just your kids and every it it's literally people get roped into this because they get taken advantage of um they don't understand what it is and and with this commercial sex stuff when we ask people like hey what's the commercial sex act everybody automatically jumps to well prostitution but there are sex acts that happen in person online um there's huge growing presence again the only fans the you know PornHub and other porn sites that have had issues because people are being forced into making sex videos and sex content that they're not getting paid for and again you don't know that if you are a purveyor your buyer purchasing these things and that person is going through this trafficking ordeal the educational component for this is so important because it looks so different and it's not the kids that are bound and tied up to a bed in a room it's not the kids with duct tape over their face it looks wildly different in real life and again you're in the customer service industry and so you may be talking to a young adult who's telling you oh my gosh you have the best beard ever I love your mustache but again they're telling you that because they have to because they have to come up with funds for a quota that they have every single day so like I said it's it's and guys are just like oh yeah no man she likes me like I'm I'm helping her I'm paying her way through college or you know I'm helping her out when in reality she's a victim having to do this day in and day out sex trafficking like rings are is that a real thing is that a myth do are there actual like groups of people that it's a business to them so let's go back to the scenario I just presented if Stacy is making 300,000 off of me and she brings you in how much did she now make and he brings him in and so the thing is that in Arizona we have we actually have a very fluent economy we have a lot of really nice areas and everything so that quota may not be $1,000 it might be $2,000 okay but so every single time that Stacy brings in a new product because that's what we are possessional product for her she if we're looking at $2,000 a day because we're rolling in Scottsdale or North Phoenix or somewhere else that $300,000 a year just went to like 1.8 to $2 million she's making off of us so it behooves traffickers and that is their game plan is to constantly be in the recruiting phase constantly B in the working phase because her products are going to fall off at some point and she's got to have somebody else come in and then I create this Dynamic right like we're a family we're a unit we work together right but everyone's giving me the money and I'm just like oh okay here's some money for McDonald's cheeseburger today oh there was an Outreach today they gave you free condoms they gave you cool I don't have to buy condoms or anything this week because you were able to get that for free like it's you know and then it depends on what type of venue of trafficking like there's multiple venues so if we talk about massage parlors right there's organized crime elements in that so there's rings in the sense of yeah there's buyers there's people there's multiple victims sometimes traffickers link up and work together you know sometimes there's gang involvement so it yes there's Rings um you know we have parents that traffic their kids so we talked about kind of that misn of like you know it's this big hulky guy one of the things we do in trainings is I've seen traffickers look like me but if I'm in the grocery store you're going to be like oh she's a mom with her three kids she's just like you know running around her boys running around being a little crazy in the grocery store right you're not going to think oh that could be a predator that could be a bad person right because our brains automatically think well this is what a trafficer is going to look like right yeah um and so I think that Dynamic is is hard to understand and you know if you're in a small town and you're being trafficked who are your buyers who are the people that are perpetrating does every everybody knows your business right some and it could be fluent people right it could be the mayor it can be whoever um buyers come from all walks of life so that also brings up a question we talked about what people look like are there any other myths about sex trafficking that you guys would like to kind of there's so many myths about sex traffing and again I think the biggest one is the perception of what it looks like it it doesn't look like pretty woman but it doesn't look like kids being bound and gagged that's that's going to be again the rare exception and a lot of it's metaphorical kids with tape on their mouth they can't open up and ask for resources if their hands are bound because they can't reach out and ask for help because again it's a different Dynamic a lot of times our victims voluntarily because they've been tricked into this will leave with their traffickers there's not a force component in it they are choosing like you know what I'm in love with you I want to go with you um and so that's what you see again the panel van thing is is always the first one but again cops are really good at catching bad guys and victims who would run from their trafficker especially for a kidnapping the cops are going to call everybody they're going to call their friends they're going to call the three-letter federal agencies they're going to turn on every newscast in America everybody's going to know what that look like and that dude's going to go to jail which is not a good business plan for him so like I said it it is much more subtle and much more dangerous because it literally comes through your kids' phones it comes through the computers it comes through places that parents are not familiar with and you know we talked about our age difference and stuff my generation like I'm kind of at the cusp where like in high school I learned how to use Word and Excel because these are new programs you know whereas kids nowadays I mean my little boy at school has a Texas speech speaker you know feature on his computer that he uses at school all the time and so you have mad amounts of Technology our kids are growing up with that I never dealt with but again predators are sitting back and they're literally sending out messages 10 15 an hour on every social media platform just telling oh my God your blue eyes are amazing that's great and again I'm going to keep picking on your mustache that mustache is amazing you know and so so as they come back all it takes is one little kid to say oh my God thank you you think I'm pretty or oh thanks I appreciate that you think I'm cool and then they'll take him down that rabbit hole so they're constantly recruiting and constantly building their team or their empire their family you know it's it's it's what they do and so that's how they kind of like psychologically manipulate these kiddos and then it's like when you start getting that love and affection and that lots of complimentary and that attention in there you know it really changes the dynamic and so I don't ever want to sound like we're victim blaming but it's really easy to hook somebody in that way um and CU all of us we all want to be loved we all want to feel love and we want to feel those nice things in the world and like be complimented in things and so it's a really easy manipulative tool to get in with somebody is to just kind of start that way and so you know victims don't don't see that they're like oh this is my friend and then I've got to know him and now he's my boyfriend and he loves me and you know and so it's really an indoctrination it's not like the sex trafficker is going to be like hey nice to meet you I'm a sex trafficker you want to come work with me right 100% yeah it's different you get parents that don't know and they give their kid a phone and like you're saying like you would never take your kid and leave him in the middle of Phoenix at night from like midnight till 6:00 a.m. you like I'll see you at 600 you know but you give them that phone and leave it in their room overnight and their parents don't know cuz they're like oh my kids's a gem they would never ever be doing this but it's not that your kid's bad there's somebody bad intentions that's communicating and talking to your kid all night long and so and again like Stacy said it's not ever victim blaming it is this is the reality people who are designed and who are putting effort into learning how to manipulate people do it online and and they do it very successfully because we all want to be loved we all want to be popular and everything else but that's the easiest way for me to lure you in is by promoting that so that brings me to my next question is there a link between pedophilia and sex trafficking is that something you guys see not like a a link in all cases but is that something that you see like people specifically looking for children to sleep with or something you know we're talking about minors being engaged online what's that kind of look like based on some of the studies and the tracking of numbers especially here in Arizona we saw an uptic in um like you know familial trafficking during covid and we saw you know a lot of people looking to purchase with children during that time but it's like it's kind of basic supply and demand like the demand is out there somebody is going to meet that Supply um and again all walks of life so you know sometimes they're coaches sometimes they're teachers sometimes they're doctors right they're attorneys like buyers can be anybody um gosh when was that SC was it like about a year and a half ago it was a pediatrician looking to buy sex with a young boy right and he was a pediatrician at one of the hospitals and it and it made the news but again it's like there are people that are out there looking for it and you know the internet has made it more accessible than ever right oh absolutely again I you have those who Target children on the dark web those who are trying to create content with them and then you have an entire different Market which is I just want to buy sex with them um because it is two different things where you're looking at that and and like Stacy said the accessibility and what we've done in our culture has just flourished this ability we have taken the hypersexualization of our youth and like crank the flame up and been like look at all these beautiful kids and we dress them as adults we dress them very provocatively we have TV shows that cater to that um in fact like NE Netflix got a lot of negative publicity a year and a half two years ago because of pushing kids and and again that is you bring kids into the sexual realm you're going to have people say that's what I want and whether or not they had that predisposition before they're going to develop a desire for it we've covered kind of the basics of sex trafficking and everything like that I want to focus now on Arizona and what sex trafficking is like in Arizona CU I mean from just what I've read it's one of the states that has one of the worst worst problems with sex trafficking what's the what's the reasoning behind that like what's going on well I we have and again depending upon the study Arizona ranks either 14th to 18th on as far as sex trafficking it's that guys who come to Arizona and again predominantly dudes like 98% of them when when guys come to Arizona they're willing to do things and somebody El's backyard that they wouldn't be willing to do if they were home with their spouse or something else like that and um one of the biggest studies that was ever done by demand abolition shows that just over 5% of all guys who are sex buyers are willing to buy sex if the conditions are right so one in 20 guys is somebody who's like hey if everything presents itself right I'm willing to buy sex and so like one of the numbers that we used um everybody kept throwing out like before the Super Bowl came like Super Bowl is going to bring 1.5 million people to the valley it's going to be huge it's going to be awesome well you can conservatively say that probably half of the people that went to the Super Bowl events were probably guys so 750,000 well if you're looking at 5% of those dudes that's 37,500 guys were here who were willing to buy sex if the conditions were right and so during that time our law enforcement partners and nonprofit guys that all work together there were 300 62 arrests made during that time and I always ask people like hey 37,500 versus 362 was that a successful time and people like look at the well no it's like yes it was it was awesome it was a lot of work okay but the thing is is those guys were willing to buy if it looked right didn't say that they were going to buy but what's even more radical is after the Super Bowl and all that stuff got done the city of Scottdale came out and they had a big news article they hosted over 1.5 million people alone not including what was brought to Glendale and Phoenix and everything else so that number could have been doubled or even tripled because they had I mean just crazy turnouts in Scottdale for those events so like I said it it it really takes and it's not that the Super Bowl's bad it's not the waste management is it's just where dudes go and dudes drink and dudes aren't with they're going to do dumb dude things and again we got to stop that alization of dudes being dudes you know and educate them like hey the girls that are being shipped in here because of these events or the girls that are coming here or our people who are here being trafficked locally they're being victimized it's not that they want to do this and you know and so like I said that that message needs to be out there so guys stop thinking hey this is okay if you go to Vegas it's still not okay it's not legal to do in Vegas so you know so like said this that normalization of belief really has got to change just like hey dude don't do that to your wife that's awful bare minimum minim like hey let's be let's be a good husband and let's not do that yeah cuz you said on the phone the other day what was the percentage roughly of men that have engaged in that um so we know like kind of what Nate said one in 20 as we know in Arizona so it's about 5 to 10% given what our population is but I mean it's true like what happens when we get like you know if you go out with 20 buddies to a bar is there going to be a little bit of chaos is there going to be a little a little less uh decision making going on are you going to be a little more impulsive are you going to maybe do like a bachelor party right you're going to do maybe some things that you wouldn't normally do right like so but there are people that you know we know there's people that travel for work they travel 60% of the time and like our hotel years have told us like people will come up and be like so we're going to buy sex here in Phoenix like you know like they when they travel that's what they do is they buy an escort or they buy someone to have sex with right and and when you talk to these sex buyers they have this rationale they're like oh it's all good it's just you and I having fun it's like I don't have to worry about your feelings I don't have to like I get mine you get ears whatever um but it's again that bringing up that transactional type thing but again how do you know how do you know that person's an adult right we have minors that look like adults right if you're not carding them or asking them a CID you don't know uh how do you know that they have a trafficker or not how do you know you know like you all these things like how you know you're being a good consumer right you can't tell that you're a good consumer I've had an 18-year-old sex buyer I've had an 84-year-old sex firey everybody in between right but we talk about victims too like we have the 2-year-old y victim in Mesa um we've had gosh how old is that like like 64 um a 64 or victim everybody in between right so we're talking spans of populations that go across Generations right so um it it's not just we can't just fit a victim in a box we can't f a fit a buyer in a box we can't fit a trafficker in a box like that's the scary thing is all of us are vulnerable human beings and there will be vulnerable people whether they're a buyer a predator a trafficker to take advantage of that vulnerable person so one one of them uh because it made the national news um actually a little over a year ago it was uh December 26th um and again this has had an awesome conclusion that just happened Scottdale Police Department rocked it um this and and I said it came out national news in January of last year but um the victim in this case was 54 years old she was a housekeeper with a guy she worked with a guy for several years in California they moved to Tucson where he finally started getting her like a what if we took some pictures you know what what we just did that and then it evolved obviously into the pictures to start having sex and stuff and um they get to Scottdale and in SC Scottdale finally and this guy is a quirky dude he and and traffickers are very very Unique Individuals um he wanted his money counted a certain way and she failed to do that and so he grabbed her threw up against the fridge strangled her and started beating her because she miscounted the money and didn't have it laid out properly um and so finally Scottdale Police Department gets called um and the wild thing is is dealing with scottson talking with the dudes and they are awesome they're great great team they said that throughout this month and a half that she was living in Scotsdale with this dude if the neighbors had just talked they would have had the entire case wrapped up within the first week and but nobody called the cops yeah and so what happened was one person came in and said yeah my parking spot is right here by this condo there's always dudes showing up parking in my spot somebody had a ring camera across from the other condo and dudes 8 to 10 dudes a day are coming and going from this place but they're like no but they were dressed nice it didn't look like drug deals so I didn't call the cops and then other neighbors all had different aspects of what they had seen and so scottd PD when they finally put all these pieces together had an amazing case but what you really learn in that case is that if you see something please reach out like be a witness and a lot of us don't want to say anything especially in cases because we're I don't want to piss off my neighbor but that could have stopped that lady's victimization a month and a half prior and and honestly and again that trafficker just got sentenced he's going to do some time in prison which is fantastic um and Scottdale did a great job working that case and trying to get that victim and that victim is in a safe place now and doing really well but like I said that's one experience for me when you talk about interesting how if somebody would have just said something it could have stopped the whole thing you know I I think about a juvenile victim that was rescued in one of our smaller towns um they were staying in a um Extended safe suite and again the call for service for patrol was a family fight right and they have gone to human trafficking training and so some of the patrol officers were like something's not right here and some of the things are just not making sense and the little girl um said a couple things that really just put off Patrol Spidey senses and they ended up doing a forensic interviewer and it was Mom and the boyfriend that were trafficking her um and again made the news um but the mom just took a plea deal for 49 years so the best thing about a plea deal is that victim that child doesn't have to go testify against her mom and her stepdad and that person will be in jail for the rest of their life prison and so that child can start that healing process and not have to you know do all that but we do a lot of Outreach we've got a lot of really beautiful stories um you know we should never have the expectation that when working with a victim we're going to we're not saviors we're not rescuing anybody right we're not we're not doing that I don't like the word rescue I don't rescue anybody I always tell people we're gardeners we're planting seeds we're watering them um we should never expect a victim accept help the first time so it's going to be multiple touches so we do that on Outreach um we do Outreach a lot with um a lot of our law enforcement partners and other ngos and we've had some really beautiful stories of just talking to people and we use other survivors or experience experts to make that first contact with our victims um as part of our team um and we've had several people who were like yeah you know what I'm ready to get away from my trafficker I'm ready to get out of the life I want to get my kids back we've had them go to school start earning their educational degrees go to trade school um and so we've had some really beautiful success stories and that's what we want to do is we want to you know Empower survivors um and let them know that they are not what happened to them that can be a sentence in their story be a paragraph it could be a chapter but it's not their entire story and they've got so much more um to life than than what's happened to them maybe in Phoenix in this whole area specifically is there any sort of a link between like organized crime and sex trafficking and sex workers or is it more just everybody's just kind of on their own so yes so when you're talking about organized crime it may not be the mafia is running this right um but but again you have a trafficker who is setting up an Enterprise that again is organized he's going to have what they call bottom that's somebody who's involved in helping recruit helping train help um keep girls and boys in line of what they need to do you're going to have possibly security individuals um gang members especially that's gangs are all about hustling they're about making dop or drugs money they're about prostitution they're about everything so whatever they can do to lift their elevation they will do it um and I tell people all the time my last year is the human trafficking sergeant in Mesa Our Gang guys would be out investigating um home invasions and stuff like that and they'd be like hey you guys need to come down here this dude's also trafficking his girlfriend and she was a participant because she's in love with her boyfriend who's a gangster who's posting ads for her so whatever hustle they can get going on and again that's organized crime when and Stacy brought it up your elicit massage businesses there's a reason why 90% of your illicit massage businesses are Asian run you know and again we are talking about criminal Enterprises that go back to South Korea that go to China that they go to their families and say this is what you're going to do when you come to America this is what you're going to do and this is what you're going to make money on if you do that for us we will take care of your family if you don't do this for us guess what's going to happen to your family and again we are talking about legitimate organized crime individuals so those victims when they come to the US they come through ports like San Francisco big Asian Community areas they get their massage licenses they come over here and they are part of an organized crime element they meet a mamasan who for alt intense purposes is their pimp right they take them to and from the ass businesses they handle all the financial stuff that money then leaves here and goes back offshore um you know but those victims and it's so difficult to work with them because if they say anything what's going to happen to their families M you know and that's a real threat so I mean and there was a case uh about a year and a half ago where uh a detective was doing a search warrant and unfortunately he made a comment that like well nobody ever talks in the massage businesses I don't know that they're even trafficking victims why are we doing this and again they can't talk to you yeah you know if they do there's life and death consequences on the other side of this and so you shouldn't go ever go into one of those places thinking like oh we're going to save everyone they like Hallelujah you're here I'm so glad you know because they knew this was going to happen but there wasn't a way for them to say no either you know when they when they are approached like it's like well either you're going to do this or something else could happen and and again that's very real for them so it's very important that you are working a very big multifaceted approach where involves Street prostitution involves elicit massage businesses it involves online predation like and and again it's everywhere in all Walk of Life and and it's like I said there's nobody that's immune to this and every time we've done trainings somebody has an experience that a family member is going through and they're asking for specific resources for them homeless individuals and sex trafficking what's the those two concepts look like so very hand in hand um and again whenever you're looking at marginalized communities people that don't have resources people don't have assistance you're going to find exploitation um and so with and and Stacy's going to elaborate more unless she's actually doing stuff right now but um you're going to find people that will say do you need a bed for the night I got you but you're going to give me this or we're going to do this if you need food you know what are you willing to do for food if you haven't eaten and again there are people that are going to say well for this $5 cheeseburger this is what you're going to do for me um so again you're always going to find exploitation in communities without resources and unfortunately here in Arizona we have a very healthy um population of individuals who don't have homes you not have jobs you not have that and even with you know Pac Christos and St vinc dep Paul's so you're still going to find people taking advantage of it so go ahead so we um know that we have a high number of homeless youth in Arizona as well as um you know like Nate said a robust population of of homeless individuals or unhoused individuals um we actually just started doing some research with adult um homeless um and so we're just basically chatting about you know kind of their experiences Growing Up So looking at their adverse childhood experiences or a score so I recommend if you've never taken an ace test to take it and see what your Ace score is because the higher amount your Ace is you can actually have like physical health effects and detriments um to those experiences but a lot of them should be no surprise they have a high a score um a lot of them have been chronically homeless since their youth so we're not talking like hey I lost my job and became homeless in my 30s um we're seeing a lot of um addiction issues um but one of the things that was really striking in some of the few people just this is anecdotally the research hasn't come out yet um is we have people that are in their mid-30s who've been chronically homeless since teenage years and they were sex traffic them to the age of 18 um and so again I don't want to say that there's correlation there but we can see the impact that trauma can potentially have on somebody for a lifetime um and then we do homeless youth surveys every year and so um again we see a very high amount of people that experience some form of Labor or sex exploitation um as part of their homeless experience um and so and and sometimes people refer to it as survival sex right like okay I'm I'm living rough I'm living on the streets like I'll trade you sex for some drugs I'll trade sex for something to eat I'll trade sex to come be in your hotel room with you for the night or have a hot shower in that hotel room so again it's what as a society can we do better like you know and kind of like n said altruistic people like you're not going to go up to this homeless person be like I'm going to buy you a hotel hotel room for the night like what do they want in exchange for that hotel room so um you know it's it's something that we see again that's a marginalized population someone's taking advantage of that vulnerability about and it's um it's it's really sad yeah one of the stats so our partners at ASU stir which is their sex trafficking intervention research group they did a study in Southern Arizona of homeless Youth and one of the stats that came out especially you know striking with me actually use it in my training is one out of three girls that is between the ages of 18 and 24 reported being trafficked um that out of the homeless youth so again that's huge at 30% of them had an active trafficking ordeal that's a massive chunk of a population 30% I mean that's just it's hard to I feel like wrap your head around that many people from a group you know so I've watched a lot of interviews with like homeless people in Phoenix but a lot of them reference something called Midnight Productions I'm going to let Nate answer this one so midnight Productions is originally was noted as a snuff film like group right um and so being in law enforcement we would get high-profile cases and people say oh that was a victim of midnight Productions um one of which like Mel bigs one of the most I Cold Case uh kidnappings in Mesa um there's ties to midnight Productions there are law enforcement officers are like 100% that's real they exist um there are other law enforcement people are like no it doesn't every single time it's come up and like within my last like two or three years um with Mesa even I got a call from a dude um at asupd and he's like hey man you guys got to come take care of this it's in Tempe but the victims are from Mesa and it's midnight production this is where doing anything we went it's got not there was not an ounce of anything that you could find about anybody having been killed anybody you know anything and so again there are people in both camps does it exist doesn't it I personally think that they do not exist um just based off what I've been through I've never found anything in the multiple investigations that I've been called on that ever came back to a group that was midnight Productions I like I said I have personal friends who have worked other other cases that are like no 100% they're real but there's never a place there's never a name there's never nothing and it comes back to I don't know if you seen like The Usual Suspects Kaiser so okay so yeah nobody is Kaiser so like and again it's you're talking about EXC why has nobody ever been tied to it why has nobody ever been arrested why has never been found that this is the camera that had the imprint that caused this that you know that came back to this film um are people doing snu films yes are there people doing kidnappings and stuff to video yes they're seral Predators um is it the same group is it the same people I I don't think so personally but yeah I every time it comes up and again I kind of laugh because there are two big camps even within law enforcement it's like no it's 100% for Real's and then there's other people that are like yeah no so that's funny cuz I would assume that it would be like I was 100% sure that you were going to say that it wasn't real but I would not expect the 50% to actually think it would be real we're going back over 25 years now 30 years now so I mean it that even predated my time with Mesa yeah and I I I did 22 and a half years with Mesa and this June it'll have been two years that since I retired so I me you're looking almost 24 years but like I said that was before my time even so like I said it's I I don't think it's there like it comes back to Kaiser S I mean just it's it's mythical person that nobody we can touch and there there's never that's the guy you know so so it's interesting that it's been talked about for a long time cuz that's that's what we noticed uh just looking at uh all those interviews people keep bringing that up and it's like it's almost like the boogeyman I feel it is you know like this group that could come target you when it's really real people like traffickers that are coming after people that are they don't look like the evil shadowy group it's like well and the thing is like down in Phoenix those dudes that are doing documentaries down there it's those are legit traffickers those are legit dudes who are I mean there are so many videos of pimps and traffickers beating victims of trafficking because they didn't make quota because they disrespected them by looking at them I I saw one recently that I mean right in front of a laundry shop there's like five or six other dudes and girls and this dude's just waylaying this girl and everybody's just sitting there and then they put it out on social media you know Fenix PD got involved in that case and worked it but I mean that's those are real people those are real suspects you know but and again with midnight Productions you never see hear anything of anybody that's actual involved just to end this interview for anybody who might be watching like this is two prong one what should they like look out for even with like family members looking at their children or other loved ones what kind of things can they kind of see that they might be able to make a change if this trafficking is going on and two what is something you can do to uh like notify uh the people that you need to if you notice something like this so let's just say this if you want to know more on indicators or how to report different levels of things like cam or have a national hotline we have an Arizona human trafficking hotline you can go to a.org indicators and we'll have all the phone numbers on that page and then we will have some download like some downloads for indicators so you can look for stuff but kind of as Nate said like it takes a village to raise kids right now it takes a village to be a part of a community it takes all of us working together so if you see something say something like you're not going to be able to tell like if him and I are in a fight at a restaurant and I'm maybe crying behind glasses right that's happen you're not going to be able to tell it's a human traing situation you might be like oh man they're in a fight like even if Nate didn't know there was a fight going you might be like wow they're mad at each other like wow what's going on like right or maybe he's being aggressive or he's can see his body language and you're like hey he might hit that girl or not that he would ever do that but you know what I'm saying like if you see something say something it might not be human trafficking right like those people called because they heard a domestic violence incident it turned out to be trafficking again you get called to a family fight you hear the cops hear oh my gosh there sounds of this kid is being sold for commercial sex right they're being trafficked so it's these elements of just learning more hearing more we're not going to know I had a victim who was being beat up in a qt parking lot nobody called you weren't going to know she was a victim but if you would have called like he said hey these guys are surrounding this girl and beating the crap out of her on the side of the road call 911 like they can intervene instead of oh my gosh it's been on social media for a week and now we're finally getting this like 14-year-old's on the street and she's run away and you've encountered her call somebody right it's being a good citizen being due diligence because what happens if now they're out there for another month because you didn't do anything right that's on your conscience we not helping or call mhm so that was really interesting um at the very end of that interview I thought that was a I mean unbelievable response I mean he said there's two camps in the Phoenix Police Department those who believe in Midnight Productions and those who don't he was talking about officers that swear their cases involve midnight Productions people who think the girl that I was talking about at the beginning her death her murder is a midnight Productions job and I really do think once again I mean I started out this whole journey thinking this is so fanciful there's no way that this shadowy group is abducting and murdering people on camera in Phoenix every single person that we talk to led me to believe in them even more even though they didn't necessarily believe in Midnight Productions with the anti-trafficking network just the fact that he said it could be up to half of the police officers in the Phoenix area that they believe in Midnight Productions I mean I feel like that speaks volumes doesn't it that shows that truly there is something going on and if you have cops that believe in this Theory I'm inclined to believe that there's probably something going on I I mean that was really interesting that next night we filmed the paranormal investigation and we ended up in Tucson Arizona and let me play you a clip right now of something they found in Tucson just a few years ago in these trees just on the left side of this fence that's where this thing is this is a prison cell only kids are being held down here and they brought me into the to the the camp and showed me under the underground bunker it was a basically a a giant plastic container with a hole only small enough for a child to crawl in and out of and it was angled in such a way and it was buried underground that a child a small child that was in there could not have gotten out on their own they're having them slide up there's a child's vanity and a hospital toilet yeah looks like a child's car seat strollers and children's toys and clothing and food packets and stuff like that so clearly children had been kept here all right so with these straps but one thing that was really disturbing was there were arm restraints wrist restraints on two trees angled like this to to where uh friends of mine that are investigators that are do a lot of stuff on the border Say Craig that's that's a rape tree that's looks exactly like Risk restraints for rape tree it doesn't look like anything else it's clearly a disturbing and and wrongful uh thing going on it's inhumane it's shocking and upsetting so as you've seen sex trafficking is a huge problem in Arizona and that bunker was uncovered in Tucson now I couldn't find anything else about that who would belong to any groups or people that were arrested afterwards children were found I couldn't track down any information but something that I will point out is that their midnight Productions is said to operate out of houses out of hotels and motels inside of abandoned buildings is another big place where they film the snuff films and and obviously all that stuff there's a hotel in Tucson that I read mentioned on a forum about midnight Productions called the Minsk Hotel this place is extremely dangerous just last year they had three people murdered in one summer in the hotel gun violence and it's known across the city as like the worst motel in the city the reviews are insane we wanted to stop by and check the place out and we were actually going to perform a paranormal investigation there and do some luminol testing and stuff but when we got there there were a bunch of police officers outside and so yeah here's a little clip of us visiting the Minsk yeah I said we just get out of here yeah I don't want to be the next victim yeah it's a little ominous so we forgot that we were going to start doing this at all these locations that we visit but I'm going to start taking Polaroid photographs of all this stuff cuz these you can't erase you can't wipe so once we have these photos we can link everything together but let me get one right here going down the hway police just went into the hotel with gloves on something obviously happened here today or last night or last night what is it is the question God that's freak so something that you have to mention when it comes to midnight Productions which you've heard in these interviews is organ harvesting now that also sounds insane like how is that even possible there's no way that that's happening I could easily write that off you know sane people would argue that oh that's too crazy to believe in about a decade ago in Phoenix not even a full decade ago a business was busted what it turned out to be was what they called a human Chop Shop so people had been donating their bodies to science to this organization to this building and when they dropped their loved ones bodies off at this place they thought they were being you know donated to science and research but instead they were being carved up with chainsaw the body parts were being sewn to each other there was a bucket of genitals in there just horrific stuff and I mean how weird is that right when do you hear of a body part harvesting facility and something else really really interesting is that that facility actually sold body parts to the United States government it was documented so the US government was tied into this illegal gruesome body harvesting shop so let's follow the the stream of thought so if the US government and authority figures and officials in Arizona and Phoenix are involved with midnight Productions midnight Productions is also made up of authority figures and those people and midnight Productions harvests organs and sells them on the black market well when you uncover a gruesome body Chop Shop in Phoenix that has links to authority figures I don't know what to tell you but here's a clip of us visiting that place so an interesting twist in the mid night Productions case happened right here in Phoenix Arizona so in this building behind me in the 2010s I want to say it was 2014 2015 a human Chop Shop was uncovered so people were selling organs on the black market out of this building people were donating their bodies to science and their bodies weren't going to science they were being carved up inside of this building they found buckets full of human heads in male genitalia a body with a woman's head stitched onto a man's corpse this was a ghoulish scene and when they eventually looked into all of this they discovered that some of these bodies and body parts were being sold to the US government so I think we're about to get kicked out of here but we just wanted to show this and we'll talk about it more in a second all right against a body donation and tissue Bank in Phoenix Arizona it was raided back in 2014 in a human body parts trafficking investigation Brianna Whitney spoke to a man whose mom and grandmother were donated to that Center we warn you some may find this story disturbing this is a horror story it's just unbelievable is this story is unbelievable for years Troy harp has been living a nightmare this is my mother this is when she was a baby after donating his mother and grandmother to biologic iCal Resource Center in 2012 and 2013 with the understanding their bodies would be used for scientific purposes cancer and Leukemia and whatever else you know using sample cells and that's what I was told but that's not what happened in 2014 the FBI raided the Phoenix facility in hazmat suits as part of a multi-state investigation into the illegal trafficking and sale of human body parts but for the first time we're now able to see the testimony from one of the FBI agents who conducted The Raid and what he recounts is shocking he said he found a cooler filled with male genitalia a bucket of heads arms and legs infected heads and one of the most disturbing findings called a morbid joke in the lawsuit a small woman's head sewn onto a large male torso like Frankenstein and hung up on the wall who in the right mind it's abolutely gross the lawsuit also says the bodies were cut up with chainsaws and band saws and pools of human blood and bodily fluids were found on the floor of the freezer with no identification tags on the bodies tools that are not appropriate for dismembering scientific bodies harp says his mother's ashes showed up by maale on his doorstep shortly after the raid but he isn't even sure they're her ashes he says his mom and grandma wanted to help medical research search after their death yet doesn't believe they ever made it out of the BRC building you feel like you've gotten any closure no this is open and I don't think I ever will BRC owner Steven Gore was sentenced to one year of deferred jail time in four years probation after he pleaded guilty to Illegal control of an Enterprise so after that once again I lost some of the b-roll here of us visiting this Motel I lost the b-roll of the outside of the motel to show you kind of what it looked like it was a dingy old Motel kind of tucked off the side of the highway I'd seen this place referenced numerous times in the blogs and articles about midnight Productions and we wanted to see for ourselves if there was any truth to these rumors now what we were about to find in our hotel room was incredibly disturbing so I'm just going to cut to this now so before we even get into where we are I want to show what this device has been picking up this is one of our paranormal devices it basically takes EMF fluctuations puts them through an algorithm gives you a word it said before ending what time it's almost like a question like when will this be over and then it says turn it off I'm never seen that response ever before and if you think about people being videotaped as they're raped that might be something that somebody would say but so right now we're at a motel here in Scottdale that we came to that I'm not going to put the name of the motel because of their business but I'm going to show you I found this place mentioned in a couple different forums about midnight Productions that this was one of the places where they're abducting people victimizing them and just a couple years ago this place used to be a lot sketchier um I think they've had new management come in but I already talked about it on the video but people reported random men coming into their rooms late at night that were employees of the motel finding blood all sorts of sketchy things but we've got some devices here now we are doing our paranormal investigating techniques like we always do but we have some new interesting stuff that we're going to be using here so we have this really high-powered UV light that we're going to do a sweep before we begin investigating so we can see if there's any fluids or anything hidden in this room we also have some luminol so that if we find any areas uh that are suspicious we can check if there's blood luminol can pick up blood from even all the way up to 10 years ago and we also have a bug detector to see if there's any hidden cameras or recording devices here why don't we do the bug detector first so this thing uh it picks up on radio frequencies and it also has a feature where you can see infared so on like cameras and stuff like that so we're basically seeing if there are any hidden recording devices here in this m this picks up on radio frequencies this room that we have could be a prime location for activities like this because it's upstairs so it's away from like people's visibility but it's also right in front of the stairway so if people needed to get in and get out quickly like they were trafficking people this would be an easy room because they would just hit the stairs and it it's hidden let me just take a look it's the middle of the day right now so let's search man also this drawer was like this when we got here it was open [Music] [Music] the wait search that area one more time wait so wait so is it picking up a signal that it's pointing at yeah like it's right in that direction yeah here I'm picking up on my coffee maker [Music] [Music] Fu yo there's a space behind this mirror it's kind of freaky it's a little freaky yeah we took this thing out and we were playing with it in our hotel room and it didn't go off at all I know this looks strange what I'm doing [Music] so it looks like it's it's a great here hold it up towards these lights in the bathroom these are kind of look sketchy wonder if it could be picking that [Music] up look at these in here imagine how freaky it would be if we actually found a camera I know nothing in here it's like right here [Music] so it's I mean that doesn't necessarily mean there's a hidden camera here but audio recorder maybe I mean it's this isn't like an EMF meter where it's picking up electromagnetic frequency [Music] there's something in this area like let's show them walk around here there's nothing Max down in the middle of the room I'm little freaked out I don't see anything let go over in the bathroom one more time I don't see any cameras thank God none in here nothing we're not going to leave to any conclusions here but he's weak barbed wire large table he's weak that's what this device just said we never get anything like that barbed wire large table he's weak it's disturbing there is a signal in here coming from somewhere what it is we don't know we're not experts at using these devices but we did pick up the signal itself so now let's do the UV light sweep here all right oh dude look at that oh God maybe this isn't a good idea dude look at all that stuff over there gross what the [ __ ] look at that that paint looks like blood I mean the it might be turn the light on what oh my god dude noing way that's legit blood dude what oh my God bro what the f what the [ __ ] oh dude I got chills right now what the dude you can see it on theera oh dude it's 100% blood bro that is 100% Blood on the door on the door dude look up here oh my God Conor dude look at this bro there's blood all the way across the door what the f happened here dude not oh my god dude what the [ __ ] all right no that's so trippy cuz this the way it showed up looked like paint to me yeah you really did think it was paint no bro that's 100% blood yeah without a doubt I almost spray LOL on it dude I did not expect that at all bro I did not expect that all over the door yeah dude it's all the way up here it goes all the way here look uhhuh it's a lot of it all on top all down here oh there's a big spot right here yep and then here dude that's crazy what that mean seriously what what does that mean for this documentary does that mean that it's still happening something is [ __ ] happening in this room dude that's crazy bro this is a completely random room that we just got given by the the hotel Staff All right so we have luminol which confirms if stuff's blood so we're going to bring that back over here but let's finish this sweep first see if there's anywhere else we should test you want to kill that light again that's Fu we should look up like when you shine a UV light on blood what does it look like large table he's weak can't stop false all right this is getting a little Eerie man oh look it is there more looks like it dude [Music] no wait bro all over the walls oh my God oh dude that's freaky dude should we lift the sheet up and look at the mattress maybe let's do it it's clean clean mattress look on this nice oh on the lamp shade oh oh dude right here too oh my God that might be something else there's a bunch of stuff stained over here all right to check bathroom yeah some white stuff I don't know if the camera picks it up I look at my shoes this is the area I'm a little bit afraid to scan if we're going to be on oh dude what's all this [ __ ] spider marks there's something on the ceiling mirrors oh my god oh dude this is creepy honestly this makes me scared to stay in a hotel room honestly anything under here look close the door close the door oh oh man jeez what the [ __ ] happened don't I'm not even kidding dude all right the final test bathroom doesn't look too bad shockingly bathroom it's the cleanest part is the cleanest it would make sense it is where you clean yourself bro I got to see those blood stains again though oh dude look at this he turn your light on what the is that can you shine it on it look at that it's like completely invisible then when you put this on it mhm that is nuts all right guys so I didn't think we'd have have to use it but we came prepared for this we actually brought luminol so if you don't know what luminol is it's what crime scene technicians use to identify blood stains they look for blood stains with this because it makes blood glow so we have the luminol already prepared and I think we start spraying on the door for sure all right so we just want to show this on camera I have a diabetic blood pricker right here cuz I'm diabetic so there's some blood we're going to test this out to make sure we're looking get it right all right so take a look at this is my blood without any light I want to spray it all over the place I know um so let's go try this door one more time I don't think it's blood well then what is it so it doesn't we're trying to do this scientifically that doesn't look like it's blood but we thought maybe it's like you know another thing like or saliva but when you look at it up close it's red and looks exactly like blood yeah that's someone's like it's clearly not either of those and it's also not like paint or something like that it's like literally just dripped on the door on top of the paint so I don't know what that is all right so we tried over here another area where we saw some staining I try to lower the exposure hit it [Music] again you see those little spots [Music] look at this where did you spr right here oh there was some stuff glowing over there too yeah all down there I'm nervous about [Music] this oh dude blood there's blood on the wall right here oh my god dude there's a lot of blood on the wall bro that's fing crazy Connor so this is actually picking up blood right here on the wall wall mhm a big splatter of blood you can see it really well on my camera I can see it anywhere else we should try that's wild but there's blood right [Music] there how about the carpet a little bit over here oh turn it off right a bunch right there oh my god dude huge blood stain on the carpet that's freaky dude look at that man my camera's picking it up it's like there's blood all over this place I don't like that how about right here little bit yeah there's some BL there that is freaky it's like there's blood everywhere all over this room all right so we were just setting up for our little investigation this device again said gun the window master bedroom I don't know what those words mean there a lot of words that we've never gotten on that device they're like eily relevant words Regina all right so Connor just started his device and it said Regina react react react to the luminol mhm Dan malevolent spoon all right to whoever's in here if we saw your blood just now maybe you were killed Crystal maybe you were killed in this room or this Motel

keep going and looking into all of this hopefully what you gave us can help us get a little closer so thank you Europe here European France perpetrator France European all right man time to get going all right debugging debugging I I still don't know what to make of that whole thing it was really that was really incredibly bizarre it seemed to be talking about a school and it seemed to be talking about an abandoned bread factory which was just incredibly strange not to mention all the fluids we found with the ultraviolet light in there the phant some signal that seemed to be coming from a transmitter of some sort but also the presence of a lot of blood splatter throughout the room and this is all in a room in a motel that people say is heavily involved with midnight Productions this is like physical detective work proof that there is something to these rumors what the [ __ ] happened there I looked up crimes and and I looked through newspapers and archives to see if anything had happened at that specific Motel I couldn't find anything I couldn't find anything anything that had been reported I mean it's really really incredibly bizarre stuff especially going there based on This research and then finding the blood and all that stuff and getting these direct answers it was incredibly strange but we knew that these Clues were leading us somewhere and we thought if midnight Productions really is abducting children and they're doing all this stuff maybe there is something inside of an abandoned School in Phoenix that we could investigate and normally when you just look up abandoned School in a town There's not going to be like an easily accessible abandoned school to go explore well we happen to find one that was less than 10 minutes away from where we were at that point so the proximity was strange and it was open and accessible but we were about to have a really frightening experience in there hey everybody it's Colin here thank you for watching today's video hello to all the new subscribers and hello to the rest of our beautiful wonderful spooky family as you know every single week here on the channel we give away a free gift bag to one lucky viewer of the show and this week to enter the contest all you have to do is like today's video Let's smash that like button and comment midnight Productions in the comment section below I'm going to give yall 10 seconds to do this now 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 one so go comment you can comment multiple times it helps the video so much but anyways let's get back to today's video thank you for listening to my little Spiel I love you guys so much and stay spooky we did some research after that last investigation at the hotel that we were at and eerily enough I uncovered on a forum an abandoned School nearby remember how I was saying teacher principal so we're now in Phoenix Arizona still we're about 10 12 minutes from the motel that we were just at and this is an abandoned school I can only imagine if there was a kill kill Factory kill shop they were murdering people this would be a place where they would be carrying some of that stuff out there's no one around here man we didn't bring any devices in we're just going to walk around and see if there's anything out of place or strange that we can find haven't done a abandoned building in a long time honestly look at this [Music] the old [Applause] curtains what the hell is this is this a Catholic School nur's office back fell on edge so not that long ago cafeteria no yeah there's a there's a weird vibe around here Jenny there's a c look at Crystal there a there's a guy over there probably just got H out here probably go let's go it's pretty sick though what the [ __ ] was [Music] that something I'll add in here is Cults like midnight Productions if they're real these organizations like to carry out rituals crimes in places like this like old abandon schools where children were where innocence can be lost you know and I also want to add in here there's a guy around here somewhere he's inside the gate with us I thought he was security but oh no it's just that that feeling of like a school being like destroyed like this it's like the I mean so many kids probably went to school here had so many memories here and now it's just like destroyed it's like almost evil I'm like shaking uncontrollably dude I know I see something is making me nervous my alarms are going off here should we go we only got a couple more to look at [Applause] there's a lot of really offensive graffiti here I think this is like the most offensive graffiti I've ever seen I still can't get over the fact that this was like an active School 2 years ago I know it's fuing weird feeling around here man something's got my anxiety look it mid Avenue is that where we are no that was where we went the first night really the mill how [ __ ] weird is that it's on Mill Avenue it's named after that Mill [Applause] now that's paint right yeah this look at that at this is it connected I guess we don't know that was terrifying in there because when we were in the abandoned school we didn't see anybody the whole time there were no cars out front nobody else making noise and then randomly you saw that footage a guy just walked by the the doorway of the building I don't know what the hell that was at first I thought we were about to get arrested by like local police or security but the guy just kept walking and I will note it is strange we didn't see any evidence of like a homeless encampment or a campsite of any kind so I I don't know if he was living in there or what but I mean how freaky is that right like a guy literally walked right by us when we were there investigating midnight Productions he didn't say anything Fu creepy really really creepy it's unexplained still who that man was if you have any theories be sure to comment them but after that we were at this Apex point we had so much information about midnight Productions and they were leading us somewhere so we knew that we still had to keep searching and we headed to another another location this time in downtown Phoenix right in the same area where so many midnight production locations were it's all in this geometric kind of square of downtown where these locations that we visited were this location that we were heading to was the former spot where an old house used to be located I've seen it referenced also multiple times that this house was like a midnight Productions kill Shack and Film Studio it's behind this boxing gym and so we found the boxing gym and we kind of ascertained that the house would have been behind it where this new parking garage was so we set up our stuff and um and investigated and once again it was just incredibly strange all right so it's the final night of our midnight Productions investigation and right now we're at 19th Avenue in Van Bean here in Phoenix so it's really hard to track down the locations of midnight Productions obviously because they're so secretive but there have been some spots that we've noticed people have talked about this place being one of them so online I saw people talking about a house where midnight Productions was being ran out of at 19th Avenue in Van Bern and it was located behind a place called Sunny's boxing gym now I was able to find sunny but it's in Goodyear Arizona so we actually came down here tonight to 19th in Van Beren there is an abandoned warehouse that's right there but this right here is Central Boxing jip 19th and Van beeren is just right past that building right there so I would assume this was the gym that they were talking about and that a house would have stood right here cuz this parking garage looks really new um the person said midnight Productions was chasing out but it's kind of eerie turn on the Spirit Box we're going to do a little session real quick song from my fence so we're going to use this Spirit Box and try to communicate with people I want to call out right now to anybody who may have been victimized of this location by midnight Productions can you say the word yes or hi or hello if there's somebody here we can talk to about that hey what's up uh-huh good night can you say it more clearly does the name Midnight Productions ring a bell what is it what is it a good girl they're anist [Music] arrest [Music] them that's crazy can I ask what happened to you right [Music] here suitcas suitcase try really clearly to say what they did to you here tried to run did you try really hard to say clearly what they did to

jail together in the making should we be [Music] careful they will me what's the name of one of the victims who was murdered in great tear don't what's the name of one of the victims need bad smell all the sudden is there anything we need to know about midnight production can you tell us a name of someone who did this to you cley or Harley just one name dog I've heard twice Alan Allan [Applause] okay if you have one more thing to say for us can you tell us anything you can about midnight Productions they're sick well guys thank you to whoever just spoke with us I'm so sorry that that happened to you hopefully we're able to shed God there's a weird chill here actually dude like a weird all of a sudden well guys we got one more place to visit we're going to get in the car and go there now it's 2:30 in the morning might as well and finally so you remember how earlier we had got an abandoned bread factory on our devices right completely very random strange thing to receive and if you thought it would be like strange to have an abandoned School in your area well how about an abandoned bread factory there was one and it was actually just a short drive from the location of the former midnight Productions kill house there was a abandoned bread factory like a five minute drive from where midnight Productions was before that still gives me chills so I don't know how to explain any of that I don't know what to make of that but we knew that we had to go check that bread factory out and we were in for a shock all right guys so in a very eerie final twist in this case the other day when we did that investigation in the motel room it was talking about a bread factory where possibly some of this stuff might have been going down here in Phoenix keep in mind this is literally 3 minutes from the place we were just at is this bread factory I'm not going to name names but this place was closed down in 2022 after being in operation for decades and from what I can tell this place is abandoned you see lights on there's an active what looks like Factory of some sort a what bike there's an active company next door this place uh this is where the bread factory was and you can see there's graffiti all over the building some of the windows back there are boarded up it's reallying weird man I mean the fact that this is literally 3 minutes from that last place yeah like it's not like this is way on the other side of town this area of Phoenix is really the Hub of where the homeless people in the town live this is like the abandoned warehouse District this is the the area where we just got a lead on midnight Productions and ouring investigation led us to this place it's bizarre isn't it I think so turn this on real quick oh sorry sorry we were just taking some pictures sorry sorry about that well they got it locked down look at that isn't that interesting oh interesting an interesting final twist my friend what an interesting twist oh [ __ ] what oh F that just happened they got the tightest security ever on an old abandoned bre Factory at 3:00 in the morning we were only there about 2 minutes tell me that's not a little fing weird that's very weird it's a old bread factory in a like it's not like they have anything like important or they shouldn't have anything important dude that my friend I don't know man I don't know I just want to add in that's weird dude that's I'm not pointing fingers at anybody here okay but I've been doing ghost hunting in urban exploring for about a decade almost now I've never one single time in my entire life ran into a security guard not one time ever and that was likeing immediately dude it's 300 in the morning right now on a Tuesday what is This Place Fort Knox a boarded up building a boarded up building that's just that's just strange man once again not alleging anything but I just think it's bizarre our paranormal investigation led us to an actual abandoned building 3 minutes from an A reported midnight Productions facility that shut down and we can't even get out of the car long enough to Spirit box and a guy walks up and gets us kicked off The Mystery of that whole thing just deepened a whole lot for me like wow wow all right so we got chased out of there we were only able to actually look at the building for like 2 minutes before security came running out and that raised so many questions I mean what is the security guy doing guarding an abandoned bread factory at 3: in the morning coming out so violently what are they trying to like protect in there what's so secret and locked up I mean it's an old graffiti covered out ofuse building and it was like the most hardcore security I've ever seen on anything abandoned in my life really strange isn't it really really strange when you go down these rabbit holes but the next day we had a little more time before we left the state of Arizona so we decided to try to find one more guy to interview to get the scoop on midnight Productions in Phoenix and this would probably be the most shocking interview of all so we're down right now in downtown Phoenix and this is an area where obviously this whole block not really block but this whole neighborhood is where a lot of the midnight Productions houses are uh are rumored to be and we just driving around and you can see you could see right here that we just came across this massive abandon building now if people wereing abducting murdering people it said that they do it in houses and buildings kind of like this and this as are as it is is it's a little creepy in here wonder what youd find in a building like this think I want to know nestled in the downtown it's definitely looks creepy that's for goddamn sure oh I don't know there's so much mystery in spots like this like what could have happened in a building I you really just you have no idea it's interesting that this place is like destroyed but there's like no graffiti I was thinking the same thing like you never see oh something there light on there's somewhere right here hello trying to light up a tiny bit yeah dude the only graffiti is like one tag some building markings couple lines but there's like graffiti on the windows but that's it nothing inside something feels off be Care on over here it is kind of strange this would be like a [ __ ] hotot to go what's up man hey I got a question man what's up we're doing a documentary right now have you ever heard of something called Midnight Productions yeah would can we interview you about it sure wa you want my name or yeah man you recording yeah my name is Christopher cashmir I'm a local around here Phoenix Arizona uh on 19th Avenue in uh Bachman at the uh building is supposedly supposed to be for the uh the midnight Productions so you just said you've seen and heard stuff going on but you never see people going in and out of this build correct yeah I'm a I'm homeless right now so I've sleep over here cuz it's it's been in building staff away but uh you always hear a bunch of people going crazy like noises at night time especially on like clear nights uh but you never see no one going in or coming out and I've stayed here for a few for days on in before like not going nowhere just just kicking back and it's kind of creepy you know but that's really it is like uh like during the week like that it's pretty chill on the weekends is when it goes live really what do you think that is uh I have I have no idea but that's a little weird that you say that because this area we just like drove by this building and normally what we do is ghost hunting so it's kind of like interesting that you report seeing and hearing [ __ ] but like nobody's ever coming in and out they're like very H yeah and the the cops never come over here whatever noise you hear you never see no cops ever stop by here or nothing ever I've been staying here for like 6 months well in not inside the building but in the area and they never come over here for nothing you've heard gunshots everything they just don't come over here what the weird but you go across the tracks and go to one of those businesses over there and they're there in 15 seconds tell you get off property that's wild man so like it's weird you can't even CH chain your bike up without them showing up over there you come over here and you kick it all day if you want what's what's I guess the weirdest noise you've heard in this building uh I've I've heard some uh some women screaming like women women's voices stuff like that just like saying like stop it or like you know get back stuff like that you be like what's up no one's in there like there's only one you get in there's only one way in the back and then up front you know no one ever walks through there and I know everybody in the neighborhood so that's weird dude it's a trip man that's really weird so I guess what do you know about midnight Productions just in general just uh just from just from Gossip uh nothing like hardcore like the people roll around in a white van and then they pick people up like uh they claim to be uh crisis response teams and stuff like that but they pick up these people and then they get to get the women after they get rid of the men and then they do whatever they do with the women and then they kill them it was or something like that I mean that's what that's what I've heard but I've seen a few crisis response fans in the middle of the night Groll around which is kind of weird especially for CBI which is the local uh drug and detox people they go around and pick people up calling crisis response or whatever but they do have one van that's like a kind of like the uh FBI style van you know what I mean yeah and uh they had one of those roll around but you never see him really stop to pick anybody up and they always always go to churches and stuff like that like I se it the other night I was over at the northern 19th Avenue and uh well by Dunlap and they kept going pulling into this church I was with this chick and they just kept pulling in the church like they pull off and then they come back to the church and they go off like it's kind of weird but she started freaking out so we left you know yeah that's really weird man yeah what have you ever like heard of anybody like specifically that's been targeted by them like have you ever met anybody uh no not that I know of not off hand I mean then again uh most of the girls that like they're homeless with us I mean there's always there's always some guy with we always keep a guy with them just in case something weird goes off something like that so people are Vigilant in the neighborhood about yeah anybody 2ue on down I mean we get down we get with it you know what I mean especially when it com over females you know well I mean if it comes down to it you know what I mean you never know what kind of world you live in these days even if it's not associated with midnight Productions have you ever heard of people getting like abducted and [ __ ] like that uh on the railroad tracks the further further west you go down the tracks the creepier it gets especially at night time like you'll have people come over like like if you have a like a buil like a Ford or something like that they'll come over and knock it it'll like knock over but there'll be nobody around I've heard stuff like that and then like chicks just disappearing and they come back and they're just all crazy like just don't make no sense we crying and like eating dog food and [ __ ] stuff really yeah I I met a chick like that one time she was freaking out she had a bag of dog food I was like where'd you get the dog food from they like they told me it was food I was like who's they she's like got some people I was like that's creepy I was like come over here you know I'm glad it's still the west and you can still still still pack yeah honestly but we go get with it you know what I mean well any anything else about I guess do you think midnight Productions is real I hope I hope it's not but if it is I mean f from 27 fan be clear down the 19th in the 19th in Washington area you got something to come with it you know what I'm saying that's all I got about it well that is really strange that you said that about this building and we just randomly drove by here we're leaving today we're like about to fly back to Houston weird [ __ ] man well I appreciate you talking with us dude so yeah I mean there's a the guy told us the same thing about midnight Productions unmarked cars police vehicles abducting people hearing screaming sounds from inside of that abandoned building and that's like confirmation cuz of all this all the stuff we've been talking about here that you could look up on your computer all this footage that I've captured shows that there's validity to all of that I mean we talked to a guy who said he literally hears the sounds of people being assaulted and there's never anybody there which sounds exactly like midnight Productions but conclusions I definitely think there's something going on here and if you watch this film and you don't think that there's something going on here I think you should open your mind a little bit because this was shocking not only did we hear from legitimate X law enforcement that there's a large group of the Phoenix police that believe in Midnight Productions but we heard from people who live in Phoenix we heard from homeless people that are on the streets of Phoenix um we heard from so many different individuals who all believe that there is something happening here with the amount of deaths in the homeless community in Phoenix every year and the amount of people who go missing I don't even know what can be done here I think awareness of some sort needs to be raised because if these people really are out here abducting murdering children and women and men on camera then that that needs to be stopped and people need to talk about it I mean why am I the first person to ever make a documentary about this I don't know I'll leave you with that question if you've enjoyed today's investigation and documentary please be sure to leave me a like and a comment on the video to support the work that we're doing here it's honestly been a little bit scary thinking about releasing this documentary because of the amount of people who have said online do not mess with midnight Productions but now you guys have seen this now you know and hopefully now you understand that there's something happening here and only through raising awareness and getting people talking about this um Can something start to change but yeah thank you all for watching it's Colin I love you guys so much I'll catch you guys next week and stay spooky hello
