Episode Details

A young musician, Mateo Winder, died in a tragic plane crash near San Andros Airport while traveling with his band, Da Pond Band, to perform at a regatta. His final text to his mother, Ronella Hinsey — “Leaving” — became a devastating farewell. As news spread, Hinsey, a police inspector, fought through confusion and delays, only to face crushing grief as calls went unanswered and initial reports suggested he wasn’t on the manifest — a hope that vanished quickly. Her brother’s silence near the crash site sealed her worst fears. Grammy-winning Baha Men leader Isaiah Taylor, who called Winder like a son, mourned deeply and urged fellow musicians to prioritize safety over gigs when flying small charter planes. Winder, a gifted multi-instrumentalist with a warm, faithful spirit, is remembered with love — and his mother, in her grief, chooses to pray his life brought glory, not in vain.
