  • This is Christopher Goffard, the writer and host of the trials of Frank Carson.

  • I'm here with Los Angeles Times deputy Metro editor Steve Clow, and we're going to talk about episode two of our podcast.

  • Welcome, Steve.

  • Thank you, Chris.

  • Episode two, a disappearance.

  • We learn more about what happened to Corey Coffman and how the authorities came to begin to probe deeply into who might have been attached to his disappearance.

  • Yeah.

  • Here is how chief Assistant District Attorney Marlisa Ferreira, who would prosecute the case, described Corey Kaufman to me.

  • So this wasn't a kid who had been a tweaker all his life.

  • This was a really good kid that all of his teachers said nice things about.

  • If you went and you got Turlock teachers to talk about who he was, Orlando, people that knew him as a child or as a teenager, they all say he was the nicest kid in the world, he'd give you the shirt off his back.

  • At this point in the story, he's still a missing person, though.

  • By the end of the episode, they will have found his bones.

  • And in this episode, we hear from Kevin Pickett, who's Corey Kaufman's stepdad, and he's struggling to figure out when exactly his stepson disappeared.

  • Pickett would have trouble keeping his date straight.

  • To the great frustration of the investigators, he produced a receipt from Modesto junk company on 9th street.

  • It said that his stepson, Corey, had received $46 cash for a load of mixed scrap metal on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 28, 2012.

  • Pickett thought that had been the last day he had seen Corey.

  • Here is Kevin Pickett being interviewed by the cops.

  • It had to be the 28th.
