Tried a few new techniques for this one so I hope you all like it! I talked about this on Twitter for a bit, but I've been dedicating a ton of time behind the scenes to learn 3D scene construction in hopes that it'll allow me to really open my topic range up for 2021 and onward. Daily, I pass up on tons of incredibly interesting cases that I'd love to cover, but have never really had a way to "show" anything. I apologize for this video being shorter than the norm - that's partly chalked up to the fact that I needed to test the waters to see if I could actually pull this stuff off. It took some work, but I'm thrilled that I was able to. With that being said, I'm already at work on the next one and while it'll be something you've probably heard of, I'm going to pull out all the stops and make the presentation wholly refreshing and unique. It's an incident that I've had on my whiteboard for like a year, and I've decided it's finally time. Run time will be more or less 35 minutes or so. ANYWAY, hope you enjoy. If you hate it then lemme know what I can do better and I'll take it into account moving forward. 🖤

Kinda sad the two turkey sandwiches weren’t rendered in 3D. Their placement in the fridge could’ve helped crack this case wide open

Imagine being in the middle of a lawsuit and your lawyer just d i s s a p e a r s.

I knew 9/11 changed airline safety but being able to board a plane without a valid ID is insane to me like this was 30 years ago...

14:29 “After becoming fascinated with the topic of missing persons, he decided to become one himself”

Leaving behind his wedding ring seems like a pretty big red flag

Deceiving thumbnail. That's an airplane, not a human. It's name is not David Lewis.

My grandma worked with David Lewis and my mom and aunt went to school with his daughter. The case is absolutely bananas. My family didn't know he ended up killed in a hit and run because all they ever heard was just that he went missing. I feel terrible for his family finally finding his body over a decade later, only for almost no questions to be answered

I'm seriously impressed by the scene reconstruction. The police cars even look like period-correct caprice models. Such great attention to detail. Absolutely love your content.

It’s genuinely disturbing to me how many cases like this there are. Someone tells their loved ones they don’t feel safe, they think they’re in danger, etc. The person then vanishes and is seen behaving strangely by strangers and witnesses. The person is seen acting frantic and like they’re in hurry. Then they vanish without a trace, never to be seen again. Creepy as hell.

imagine not seeing your dad for 10 years and the next time you hear about him you find out he's dead. that's horrible.

Whatever the reasons were for his disappearance, be they real or imagined, may David Lewis rest in eternal peace.

In my country, a lawyer suddenly disappeared in 1994. His body was found 28 years later in 2022, sunken 44 meters into the Baltic Sea. A business partner of his then pleaded guilty to the murder and was convicted. The case is a great example of excellent police work when it comes to investigating crimes.

Are we not gonna talk about Peter Ditter who's out here identifying as many missing people as he can? What a guy. All the respect to him for using his position to do such a thing.

It’s weirdly poignant and sweet that he made sandwiches for them.

Someday he will say: "welcome guys, to Disturbing Things From Around The Internet, 12."

VHS tapes had 3 different recording types that decreased the quality, but tripled the amount of room to record up to 12 hours on a single tape.

I'll be honest, looking at the title and the thumbnail I thought this was a Lemmino video

His ex-firm should be looked at closer. They had the most to benefit from his disappearance.

My mind goes, "damn, if only the person who found his body had turned around sooner or something etc." but if he had turned around to a live David Lewis we might not even be hearing of this story right now. Funny how that works

The ring on the counter and leaving with his card seems like he was leaving his family but something random happened that didn't go according to his plan...all those tiny things add up to serious red flags

It's weirdly wholesome how before he vanished he made them some fresh turkey sandwich

Y’all remember when he was named Nightmare Expo

I wonder how many cases like this can just be explained by some form of psychosis. Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but it may be and it’s so incredible to me(someone who’s experienced psychosis) how bizarrely it can make you behave. Walking down the side of the highway in military clothing is nothing compared to some of the delusions that can arise from a schizophrenic episode or mania etc etc

This reminds me a bit of the murder of Blair Adams, a Canadian man who suddenly embarked on a cross country trip across the US after telling others that someone was out to kill him, and ended up being found murdered in a parking lot in Tennessee. Both the identify of his killer(s) and his reason for being in Tennessee (among many other questions) are still unknown.

It seems like he went through a lot of trouble to document that he was in Texas, just before he skipped town. The car at the court house, the recorded football game, the sandwiches, they all scream “I stayed home the entire weekend”...

Nexpo can make a mother goose story sound scary.... "When humpty dumpty fell, was he saved by the kings men and horses? Well.........let's take a look."

I have worked in Inpatient psychiatry, and we would see cases similar to this (with no deaths) on a weekly basis - a previously “normal” person starts acting oddly, often makes bizarre and vague plans to flee, alludes to someone being after them but won’t contact police or provide any details, etc. Our brains have a “people are after me” center, and this can go wrong from anything to drugs (MJ), to liver failure (and gone when addressed) to most often, nothing medicine can currently pinpoint. And people with this often have a mix of typical, and very atypical, behaviors seeming “normal” for a few minutes, then saying/doing something very atypical or unusual. It is one of the last taboos subjects I medicine (with the person/families often not telling others about) and more common than most hunk, often shocking the family when the previously reliable person changes. I certainly don’t know if this occurred in this case, but it is consistent with the usual pattern. People can flee actual threats or have reasons not to say why, but there is a method behind the plans, even if trying to hide their tracks, and they are still organized in seeing them through, whereas people with a paranoid episode are repeatedly disorganized (losing the money they brought, jumping out of cabs/then demanding to get back in, then jumping out again, renting a car, then losing the key, checking into a hotel then randomly wandering until some passerby helps them find their room, then suddenly running off etc.). It is a true emergency as they often have adult resources but are very impaired in their thinking, and can easily put themselves in harms way.

YakEma, lol. Walking down those Yakima highways is scary, especially towards the wapato reservation. My uncle heard a blood curling scream around 4 in the morning and stayed under the highway light until it was sunrise.

WTF MY NAME IS DAVID LEWIS THIS VIDEO IS CREEPY AF

"when you die, either someone will watch you die, someone will stumble across your body, or you will never be found. All are equally terrifying"

Prior military here, was stationed in JBLM for a good while. I've been to Yakima more times than the fingers and toes I still have. Yakima has an army training center right up next to it and it was opened in 1989. There's always plenty of homeless and surplus stores near every base, even training centers. In fact if you walk by any military base you'd see a lot of homeless hanging around in military gear; from your typical ACU to PT uniforms. Workboots might have been mistaken for military boots, though I have no idea what kind of gear was issued back then. Just a guess but maybe he got his military garb by asking the surplus stores near by or someone gave it to him thinking he was homeless.

You never fail to amaze me Nexpo. I'm looking forward to more of these high-quality production videos you've been making recently. You're one of my favorite content creators of all time. Keep it up, my best wishes go out to you! 🖤

Gotta give the man credit. He did a good enough job covering his tracks that we still don’t know why he left.

One time in 1983, this unnamed cruiser was found in the Canary Islands. It was in perfect working order, and no indication of an attack. Three half-full cups of coffee and an acetylene blowtorch that was used to open a steel box that was on deck. The box was empty but it is believed to have sheltered something inside its two compartments. Crazy shit. Always wonder what happened.

I’ve been watching your content for the past few days and I’m very impressed. The world is a strange place. Somehow your investment of time and care in these concise investigations simultaneously brings a bit of hope back into this strange world; so long as we have people like you shedding light on those dark corners. I’ll continue to support the work and do my part as well. Cheers.

I totally wasn’t expecting for my hometown to be in this video @9:50. Thanks for mentioning it, I’ve been binge watching your channel these past few weeks and I’m absolutely loving it! Keep it up!

I was just thinking this morning: "It's been a while since I've watched a *Nexpo* video."

Hold on, is no one questioning why he took a picture of his car? People don’t go to their place of work, take a picture of their parked car, and then leave.

Dude, this new style of visualization is so cool and very well done. Props to the idea and the execution!

The production value is so high!this guy on UKposts is better than most tv shows. Pls make more videos like this with unsolved disappearances!

I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary for a mother and daughter to go shopping and the dad stay home so they can have “girl time”.

In Yakima, WA, it was asked why he didn’t get a rental car if he had all that cash. He didn’t have his driver license on him, as it was left in the glove compartment of his vehicle in TX. While ID wasn’t required to board an airplane, a driver license was required to rent a car.

I wish he did more videos like this. I’ve never heard of this case before, thank you for the scoop!

Omg I'm in love with the new art style & editing. I just watched the most recent upload about the 5 boys now this and I'm really digging it! Great job, Nexpo! 👏👏👏

This should wake me up

me: 'is having a very stressful day' nexpo: oh i dont think so

Really enjoying all your hard work on the production of your videos; the new graphics provide a seamless link to other aspects used in the narrative, such as the newspaper articles.

The time and effort u must put into ur vids is amazing. I love watching them before bed, scary sometimes but ur voice is sooo relaxing!

Yakima, WA is used by the military for training. When my fiancé was stationed at Ft. Lewis they would often do training in Yakima for weeks at a time. Just seems relevant since you mentioned he was in military attire.

I remember seeing your tweet about this. I’m excited to see what’s in store for us. :)

Man your content is fantastic. Thanks for the hard work you put into the videos!

Nexpos quality has been in the up recently It feels like an update that fits well to the context that's unique to this channel

I really like that 3D scene tour thing, feels like a mystery movie.

You know you’re early when the only person who could have watched the whole video yet is nexpo himself

your editing is top notch bro, I respect the amount of work you put into it

Such high quality content on this channel! Wish you had more videos, but I'm excited to see what you put out in the future!!

Being a lawyer is a dangerous job. In fact, any job that's involving with the government is dangerous.

I was waiting for “Just LEMMiNO” at the start

This video was fantastic. Your channel is my go-to for spooky content, and this video hooked me even more. Such high quality content.

Genuinely one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen on UKposts. Keep it up!

I think everyone is overlooking the fact that he was a lawyer. Definitely pissed off the wrong person possibly multiple people.

I was gonna watch a movie but this popcorn is going toward this vid instead

Nexpo intro is so good, something about it, just prepares you for the video, gets you into the mood.

Why would he be taking a picture of his car? Seems like some answers may lie in the answer to that question. Wheres the camera and pics? Maybe he was taking a pic of someone in the background.

This one reminded me about one situation that happened with me couple years ago. My 70 years old aunt just walked out from her house, telling nothing to anyone, and then just wandered away somewhere. Without documents, phone and any proper clothes ( End of November, smth about +4C). Police found her body in a nearby village after bout 4 month of search. I still don't know what might make that sudden change in people's brain, that they just walk away in nowhere. (Sry for bad eng)

The recording/sandwiches could've been done by anyone. The fact that there were two sandwiches (for his wife and kid) and his wedding ring on the table seems like a message. I don't know about you, but if I am trying to disappear for my own safety and will play dress up to try to disguise myself there's no way I'm leaving my wedding ring behind.

Yo just recently found ur channel, perfect for night shift! I’m seriously thankful for your work, keep it up.

I love love love love this new style. It works so well with these kinds of videos!

moral of the story: just don't be a lawyer

I'll never understand these situations where a person tells their wife/husband/family member that they believe they're in danger, or that they fear for their lives... and then the family member just doesn't press them anymore on it, like it's totally normal and not a big deal. Idk man, but if it was me and someone I cared about told me that they were afraid for their life I would legit drive them crazy until they told me why 🤷🏻‍♂️ it just always seems so bizarre to me. Like "yeah, he said he was afraid that someone was gonna stab him repeatedly with a knife next week-but then he didn't say why so I just forgot about it" ...like WTF how is that acceptable lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

I love the way you structure and make your videos. Good job 👍🏻

This video was really well made! I don’t watch many videos on unsolved mysteries on UKposts as they’re usually conspiracy theory rubbish that doesn’t properly cover the topic and is covered in clickbait, but I watched this video and it was really good. I love the 3D artwork you made and your delivery is good, the only complaint I have is that occasionally the transition to the next audio took a few seconds between chapters but that’s a nitpick and I think it was deliberate anyway. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content, great work!

I really enjoyed the more "bite sized" style video that still went into as much depth as your other content. The prospects of this 3D modeling showing the scenes is super awesome and I think will help with understanding some cases better. Can't wait to see what you have in store this year Nexpo.

The quality of your videos is incredible - thank you for pouring so much work into this!

Love the way you explain these cases Nexpo. Been a huge fan of yours for a while 😌 you're a huge inspiration to me and my tiny lil horror channel, just wanted to say thank you 🦇🦇🦇 much love 🤍

There is an exabit at "The Haunted Museum" here in Las Vegas that is a very strange case. Little is known because the persons family covered everything up for religious reasons. Her name was Lee Sober Shapiro, one of the inventers of sprit boxes (ghost hunting equipment). I would be extremely surprised if you dug more up on her. This women has baffled many for years leaving behind a dairy and 4 strange polaroid photos before the time of her estimated death. I would love to see your take on this case, this case is extremely depicted as paranormal but there could be some worldly expiation of her death.

We can observe the ends of our galaxies and predict supernovas centuries in advance. But people still completely vanish without a trace on our own planet. That’s pretty unnerving.

You have one hell of an awesome channel, please keep up the good work. Thank You...

"leaving the case to remain stagnant..." "oh oh oh O'Reilly autoparts"

Dude. The editing in this video is top notch! It was immediately a noticeable change in style and I love the more visually-stimulating storytelling! I wish you luck with this type of style for the future! It has huge potential!

I am rewarded for finishing my test Nexpo uploading was my reward

Bro that ad scared the shit out of me. Great Content!!

For some reason every time I watch his videos I wanna fall asleep to this guys voice there’s these videos are so dang interesting.every time i do I get lulled to sleep. Keep up the great work nexpo

It was probably the nfl taking him out for wanting to violate copyright

Jodi Huisentruit, a famous news anchor from my hometown went missing and still has yet to be discovered. It happened in 1995 and there are a lot of sketchy things that were involved like her ex boyfriend, cops tampering, missing evidence and no one has done a story on it. It could be an extremely interesting topic for you to look over. Great video as always man!

I just wanted to say how amazing this video was, and how much I appreciate all the hard work that went into it. Your videos are always great, but this was next level. I love that you're learning 3D to add even more to your videos, and as someone that has a background in 3D modelling AND video editing myself, I know how much work it is. You did awesome with this, and I can't wait to see more as your skills improve!

I live this kind of content, I only knew about Lemmino, but I'm so happy that I found your channel. Cheers!

This topic was covered on reddit around a year ago. I’ll copy paste my findings from there. Late to the post and this might be burried, but it's worth a mention. In 1993 there were no direct flights from L.A. to Amarillo, or vice versa. If you wanted to get there, you had to take a flight from Dallas to get there. The kicker here and the thing that sticks out to me for some odd reason is the tape recorder recording the Superbowl. The Superbowl of 1993 took place in Pasadena, California. In 1993 you got there by flying into the L.A. airport. It's important, however, to note that the flights are coming from the location of the Superbowl to the spot he was officially last seen. Isn't it odd that the weekend that the Superbowl happened, his wife and daughter just happened to leave? It might be anecdotal, but I don't think it is. He could have pushed for that to happen, or he could have seen this as an opportunity. It is mentioned he was going expose something involving a case of conflict of interest between his old law firm and a very wealthy client. Who often attends big events like Superbowls and fly out the same night or the day after? The super-wealthy. Could it be possible that a meeting was arranged between the wealthy client and him for the very next week? He was deposited $5,000 dollars the day he bought the first ticket. I think it's very likely that he was flying someone to him, not vice versa. His car was found at the county records building, which further leads to some meeting of judicial nature. He never returned to his car evidently, yet he's found dead 1600 miles away stumbling down a highway with a Camaro speeding away. Now who could easily afford a Camaro in 1993, the year Gen-4 of Camaro was released, not exactly a luxury car, but a car that a very wealthy person might mistake as "clandestine." It might be helpful to find out what kind of tickets were bought, ie: first class? Other useful information to support this theory would to check for any private departures leaving the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (built in 1942) that weekend. Plane travel is the only viable explanation for 1600 miles of travel in a short time period. Some people suspect suicide or an "accidental hit and run", but I think foul play should still be on the table for a case like this. There are too many indicators. TL;DR: I think he was killed by the very wealthy man discussed earlier. The law firm is a primary suspect as well.

Say it with me now : "I shouldn't be watching Nexpo before going to bed"

Can we just say how iconic and perfect this intro music is!

The scenes you made with the red cars on the highway was so cool man. You did the same type of this in the 5 that went missing video. Such a cool effect

Yakima? That's not a real place, that's just part of the iCCU (iCarly Cinematic Universe)

opening the description and seeing “the hit and run” made me know this is gonna be good

It’s something about your intro that gives me goosebumps. It literally excites me and freak me out at the same time..

Really loved the animations! It really brings the video to life

That commercial is the most 1993 thing I’ve ever seen

I’m sorry but this guy literally creates masterpieces for every video I swear

these are so well made its crazy!!!!

The quality of this video is amazing!
