Voicemail Released in Missing Man Case

I sure would like to know what happened to this man.

 

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has obtained a voicemail that is important in the case of a missing Mounds View man.

The voicemail is disturbing and difficult to understand. It’s also the last time 32-year-old Henry McCabe was heard from.

Those who know McCabe shared the recording in the hope that whoever knows what happened will come forward.

There are two minutes of bizarre noises, including growls and moans. There’s very little actual talking.

Authorities confirm the middle-of-the-night call came from McCabe’s cell phone. It was placed on Labor Day, Sept. 7, at 2:28 a.m.

McCabe’s worried wife, Kareen McCabe, heard the message.

“His and my cell phone connected,” she said.

Minnesota Community Policing Services is a non-profit agency and acts as a go-between with police and the Liberian community.  The organization’s leader, David Singleton, is trying to help the McCabe family make sense of the recording.

“The growls turn into high pitch moans, like he’s moaning in pain,” Singleton said.

The tortured grunts suddenly stop and silence follows. Then someone, either Henry or another person, says, “Stop it.”

“I try to picture where he was, what it might’ve been like, what circumstances would’ve made him sound like that,” Kareen McCabe said.

The voicemail is in stark contrast to other articulate recordings of McCabe, who’s a state auditor, and often speaks at events.

The message is one piece of evidence Mounds View police are reviewing.

The police chief told KSTP’s Beth McDonough that even the FBI is analyzing the recording and voices for clues. The chief said the investigation took deputies to Rice Creek Park Tuesday, which borders New Brighton, Mounds View and Fridley—all areas where McCabe was reported seen or a cell phone ping placed him. Ramsey County Water Patrol also conducted a search, but came up empty.

Investigators are waiting to get more information from the cell phones of more than one person. The Mounds View police chief said the investigation could go in a number of directions.

    Is anyone here familiar with the area? Squatchy territory? High crime rate?

    The fact that he was/is a State Auditor speaks volumes! I’m sure there would be many human primates who would like to see this individual “disappear”…

    Normally, the FBI does not get involved with these cases, but perhaps it’s because he’s a State Auditor?

      Okay, anyone who is interested…

      1. McCain’s body was found in Rush Lake in New Brighton on Nov. 2nd 2015, two months after he disappeared;
      2. Medical examiner found no signs of injury;
      3. After surviving 14 years of civil war in Libya, McCabe and his family immigrated to the U.S. in an attempt to escape violence, however authorities believe his death was related to this violence. Hence, the FBI’s interest;
      4. (This is strange) Initially, a $10,000 reward was offered, only to be rescinded a month later because of McCabe’s wife, specifically “her willingness to mislead the public and the committee.”

      Crazy! Who knows? I’ll just apply the principle of Occam’s Razor…

      Used to live a few miles away from here in South Minneapolis. The areas mentioned are in the outer ring of suburbs, very built up and crowded for the most part. Squatch unlikely. Don’t forget about Dogman in that region either.

      He was returning from a club, I think friend dropped him off somewhere. David Paulides talked about this case in his March Coast to Coast Interview.

    • Jacqueline O

      He was at Ces’t La Vie nightclub in Spring Lake Park (which probably closed at 2:00 a.m.), and then dropped off at a Holiday gas station between Central Ave. and Hackman Ave., according to surveillance video.

      He also made a second phone call to his brother and left an unintelligible voicemail…mumbling, crying in distress and begging, which is NOT available to the public (unlike the wife’s voicemail)?!?

      Authorities determined this was a standard case of drowning?!?
      David Paulides is also researching this case!

    Again; Minny-soota! Yup, poor guys’ done and gone. Maybe now, Minnesota will get some of the good ol’ boys’ out in the brush and hunt this d2mn thing down!!

    “..the FBI is analyzing the recording and voices for clues”

    **rolls eyes**
    Great! -Now we’ll FOR SURE NEVER KNOW if Sasquatch were involved.

    I read one article that stated the area was industrial, at the edge of suburbia, and swampy. So many of these missing persons cases feature swamps…horrible story and so very sad. Yeah – the FBI are on it . I feel so much better now (double eye roll),

    It sounded more like a dogman to me. To growls are similar to what I’ve heard in the DeAnza mountains just north east of San Diego Ca in 1999. Later I heard from the locals that dogmen were seen in the same areas I was in just months prior.

    I wonder if he was drugged thus the uninteligable speaching? Sounds like he was not alone if someone said to “Stop it”. So he was drugged, helped out of the bar. He was needed for a certain amount of time, when done and no longer being needed he was eliminated so that he wouldn’t tell what had happen. Could be gov since a voice said to stop it, not alien. Sounded as if in pain versus animal? Found near water so it does sound like a David Paulides situation. Also in same area of country as a couple others. We know it wasn’t Col. Mustard with the candle stick in the study so it must be done by people in gov working on their own or with aliens that might be looking to retrieve certain human material for cloning?? Just a thought! ~God help him and his family.~

      I’m sorry, but I discovered more info…lol! It’s not like I spend all day analyzing the crime, my mind just thinks non-stop, even when I’m sleeping, and usually I don’t comment, but today is different…

      So, the police discovered that one of his friends took his wallet “to cut him off from the bar”. Therefore, it’s believed he had a high blood alcohol content, which was was consistent with the toxicology report.

      Also, initially the police were told that he was dropped off at a different gas station, much further away from the Holiday station they later discovered. If I were the authorities, I would re-interview the “friend” who dropped him off or whoever stated the first gas station. Someone is being deceptive and knows something…

      Second, if you re-listen to the voicemail, you can hear a clear, concise stop to the audio. That is not because the noise “just stopped”. Someone deliberately pushed the mute button, probably to say something to McCabe without leaving a record of their voice. This suggests that the “people” responsible knew how to cooperate a phone …do sasquatch or Dogmen use cell phones?

      Since two phone calls were made to both the wife and brother, both indecipherable, I’m willing to bet the individual responsible for this crime knew McCabe and his family. While torturing McCabe before his death, the assailant(s) deliberately chose to call his two closest loved ones so they could here his agonizing death. Someone definitely knows something! Perhaps both the wife and brother are familiar with the guilty party and unaware of it ?

      The combination of this info, along with the violence of the Liberian community, the heavily populated area, McCabe’s career, and common sense eliminates the probability of a cryptid related death… unless someone one’s a pet sasquatch to do his bitch work!

      It’s highly indicative of a strategically, pre-planned, human primate crime. David Paulides should be aware of all this info, but he chooses to eliminate critical points during his interviews. I have absolutely no doubts that strange and mysterious disappearances are occurring, but (IMO), I believe half of these disappearances can be explained by what scientists consider “normal”.

        After looking into this case deeper I am tending to agree with you Jacqueline O…… besides, ” Normal is just a setting on a washing machine” 😉

    That voicemail was sooooooo disturbing! Just awful! If he had been my missing husband, they would have had to sedate me and put me in a padded room somewhere! I would have gone right out of my mind with thoughts of what might have been happening to my husband! It sounded like someone was torturing the poor man! Horrible!
    I was widowed at 36 and I vividly remember how destroyed I was by the loss, but at least I knew my husband had been killed in the blink of an eye, and did not suffer. But to not know what happened to him, and then hearing that horrible message of him moaning and crying out in pain……. Dear God…….I would have lost my mind.
    His widow, in the video, struck me as oddly unaffected by that horror. Perhaps a cultural thing, remenent of their war torn homeland. Or perhaps she was in shock……but I remember how I was after my husband was killed, and if I’d have heard something like that voicemail from my late husband…… I think that would have been the end of me……

    • Jeffrey H

      I’m sorry you lost your husband Patricia S. You sound just like my mom, who’s husband died at 37 and was left with 5 young kids. It’s not easy for you or my mom to go through such a thing. I hope all is better for you now. I know that time doesn’t heel all but hopefully it’s been helpful. All the best to you!

    Why are we unable to obtain the audio clip where someone one says “Stop it?” I’ve tried everywhere to find it. There’s has to be a reason for it’s deletion..
