Very well done podcast. I thought it was brave and touching that his family was willing to be open about the challenges that have impacted Matthew.
Re #4 (the gal knowing more) agree something is up there. She was cold, crass, and barfing profanities in between her BS-sounding defenses which callously included him being "a whole body". what a waste of a tank of gas.
But #3...the suspiciously hostile work crew is concerning. Maybe he went up there looking for help with car and they realized that they could be liable for leaving the gate open. Maybe they said they would help on their lunch break (hence the time) and instead did something nefarious. Either way, Malibu City or LE should shut down their work sites until they can determine if their negligence with the gate contributed. Maybe that will shake some memories loose.
I feel bad for Matthew's family having to deal with these un-compassionate, uncooperative low lifes during their crisis.
Yes #3 was also very concerning. I wonder why the workers are being so hostile. LE should definitely go up and talk to them and look around.
