Caller's Story: The Memory Returns and the Smiley Face Graffiti

• 37:43Caller describes waking up on a narrow sidewalk between a lake with water rushing under a dam and a 15-foot drop into a river.
• 38:09He had no idea what town he was in, which made the situation terrifying.
• 38:38After starting to walk, his soaking wet pants began freezing in the cold, and his phone was already shattered and dead when he found it in his pocket.
• 39:30A cop drove past while he was waving him down, though the caller isn't certain if the officer actually saw him.
• 40:22He found a main road, walked across a bridge about 500 yards from the dam, and was eventually able to orient himself and find his way home.
• 40:58Tim asks if the caller understands he was blacking out every 15 minutes, which explains why he forgot about the dam entirely once he left it.
• 42:04The next day while at his girlfriend's apartment, the sound of rushing water suddenly triggered memories of being on the dam.
• 43:12A girl in one of his classes mentions the Smiley Face Killer theory after he casually tells her he woke up at the dam, sparking his research into the phenomenon.
• 44:28The caller discovers reports of the Smiley Face Killer occurring at UW schools and areas in Minnesota, including an article about a student who died on his birthday in the same area near the bridge and dam.
• 45:45He drives back to the dam with a friend and discovers a smiley face painted in red with devil horns on a nearby railroad bridge, visible from the dam through his telephoto camera lens.
• 46:21The evidence is starting to line up with what the girl told him about the Smiley Face Killer, though he remains skeptical about the whole thing.
