The last few seconds after the Joanna Lopez sign off makes it even more creepier somehow

[@90sNath]

The number that appears at the end seems to be on a really long loop of ringing and has no voicemail box. Also nobody seems to be picking up the phone which means. Who ever owns that number is no longer around. So if you somehow in the 1% chance find this girl. (Even if she is way older than here) Do not call the number notify the news block to track down the parent. (If she's still alive but seeing as the number is active but she doesn't answer. Probably means she passed away.)

[@metalisonline]

I dug a little deeper. Turns out it was the missing person's department at the old Chicago Police building, it got demolished in the 90s I think

[@gothtarrare]

The number was the number to the CPD youth department. Considering the original broadcast of Joanna's picture was in '89, and her picture was aired for hours I'm assuming this rebroadcast was done accidentally, and hopefully Joanna was found quickly after the first broadcast. The CPD youth department number also means she has to have a juvenile file with them: whether it be criminal, a runaway teen, or she was a foster kid. I sincerely hope she's okay.

[@90sNath]

@@gothtarrare ohh. That makes more sense actually. Your probably right, they probably just put the wrong card up in 91.

A similar event happened in Mexico with a woman named "Selene Delgado López" on the channel "Canal 5".

I'm assuming that she was a teenager. That probably ran away from a group home. And during that time she either was killed or kidnapped. The police probably realized days later that she was gone. I'm guessing Chicago PD really didn't want to put any effort into looking into another runaway teen back then. So the police put this missing person photo at the ass crack of dawn to either say they try or get some heat off their back. That's what I'm guessing. This whole thing gives me the heebie-jeebies!!

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

Especially since the girl is a POC. Maybe that explains the use of a crappy rendering of the photo. Really, surely there was a bright clear one they could've used. - The whole thing is so spooky; The crappy photo, the crappy time of night, the lack of info on this young lady or even word of her fate.

Per a Reddit thread, this was originally meant to be broadcast once. It was broadcast throughout the night of January 14, 1989 as we know. This was on a master copy that WMAQ had. Once WMAQ realized they had the Master Copy in, they pulled it out and went to the colour bars that we see at the end of the video, after ten seconds of seeing a better (albeit horrifying) image of Joanna Lopez. Mind you, this was in 1991, two years after the original broadcast.

my theory is that she was really missing in 1989 but in 1991 it was an accident which would explain why it cut to the colored bars. I think the person in the control room played the wrong clip and for some reason still had the one from 1989 with the missing poster and played it instead of the normal one, not realizing until the poster appeared on screen. They probably panicked and switched to colored bars. Can someone lmk is this is possible cus I'm not seeing many people with this idea.

The saddest part about this is that Joanna Lopez was a real person. And these people didn’t even care about her. All they did was put her name and a random phone number and a creepy photo that you can’t even identify who it is. This sign off usually happens when most people are asleep, so rarely anyone saw this. So Joanna Lopez was most likely never found, which is really sad.

[@ajc8815]

I don't know why they chose to show a missing persons report in the dead of the night when most people are asleep? Could they have just done it when most people are awake? It's also bizarre they chose that as a closedown card for the station? Usually, after the national anthem is played, either the logo of the TV station or a test card shows up (and in some cases, a clock) to mark the end-of-day broadcast. It doesn't make sense that a missing persons report is the last thing to be shown on air when it should be part of the main program.

@@90sNath This was like 5 years ago, and it's becoming mainstream? That's actually really cool!

2:03 al parecer en esta imagen de Joanna López parecía que llevaba gafas de sol polarizadas tenia cabello corto una camiseta blanca ademas parecia tener 18 años de edad y creo que son unicos rasgos que la distinguen porque en si su imagen sigue siendo aterradora 💀☠️

[@tylersteres]

At least this one was brief (no hate to Joanna I pray that she’s alive), but the sudden tone at the end is starling.

[@ironic17]

The least they could’ve done was say under what circumstances you should dial the number

[@creamcat69]

has anyone tried calling the phone number before it went out of service?

[@user-nt7yt5zd8y]

yeah, it would lead straight to the police station

[@lillianconcepcionnn]

@@user-nt7yt5zd8y the chicago police station or a police station near you?

This clip appears to be an edited version of one on his site: (#videoclip-2461)

[@marcusmickel1870]

Very possible she could have went missing twice and used the same photo twice and she was found quickly there after I personally know someone in the dc area that has happened to her . One Ppl back then went years without being photographed

[@nanash_2019]

This Sing off was from 8:00PM to 5:00AM

[@hudsonbell6539]

I’m so very sorry about the captions the captions are in Italian

[@germanshepherd6638]

Any other missing people featured?

[@Knock60]

NBC peacock watching this says: oh, no..

[@skittl_e]

2:13 scary fucking beep

[@belowthedot8903]

Here's my theory: this recording is also from 1989 but was misdated by the uploader as 1991.

[@VicGChad07]

Nope. That theory's shot down.

[@worldwideadventurer2987]

Does anyone knows what happens if you call that number in 2024?

[@aidennyoutube]

idk prolly her family will answer or nothing will happen cuz they prolly got rid of the phone by now

[@snoopdoge4462]

Terrifying. Good god.

[@princesskayla1400]

Why do they always include the intro of this clip? It must means a lot more maybe she was famous at one point? And we didn’t know?

[@evansmam]

because it's showing that joanna's missing persons report was put on air after the sign off of a tv show.

[@littlekingylittlel421]

2:03 is creepy

[@DatCommercial]

With what, exactly?

[@lisaweathers6783]

Why does the person look like Ralph Machio for some reason idk

[@Rinde007]

This is the previous year one

[@DJUniMekaju]

Why did I get stressed out watching this?

[@ftjm69]

It’s the image of Joanna Lopez that makes people stressed out, and it makes people like me want to go down that rabbit hole.

[@RolloSmokes]

A straight jack from someone else, how original.
