48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: online dot Com investigative reporter Nicole Parton, Nicole, what happened

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: on April twenty one.

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 8: So the nine one one call comes in and the

51
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 8: dispatcher can hear screaming in the background, and they can

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 8: hear Michayla screaming for help, screaming for help. Once that

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 8: dispatcher is connected, that call immediately goes dead.

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 9: That's it.

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 8: Communication is lost. Now we know that we're being told

56
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 8: that someone inside the home said that Mikayla was screaming.

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 8: There's also a neighbor that said they heard screaming her

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 8: crying for help. Someone in the home said she ran

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 8: out barefooted, screaming for help. And then that call comes

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 8: in to nine one one, disconnected and that's it.

61
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: That's very odd to me, joining me high profile lawyer

62
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: IRV Miller with the Miller Firm, Legal anlyss CBS two,

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: wbb MTV and legal advisor to The Good Wife and

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: The Good Fight or Miller, thank you for being with us.

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of evidence. And I mean,

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: people hear her screaming, someone saw enough to say that

67
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,559
Speaker 1: she ran out of the home and she was screaming.

68
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: We know she called nine one one. It's really hard

69
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: for me to get my head around why this woman

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been found.

71
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 10: Well, this is more than a missing person case. Based

72
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 10: on all the information you just provided. There's something nefary

73
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 10: is going on that happened to this young lady, and

74
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 10: I think it's incumbent upon the police department involved to

75
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 10: be a little bit more transparent. I don't know if

76
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 10: they've released at the copy or recording of that nine

77
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 10: to one one tape, but certainly it should be released

78
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 10: to let the public actually know what's going on, because

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 10: I think what the ant in this case and bringing

80
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 10: this case to the public's attention is outstanding investigative work

81
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 10: that should have been done by the local police department,

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 10: not by her.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Jason Gison joining us Salt Lake City, Utah, private investigator,

84
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: owner of Jensen Private Investigations, and the co founder of

85
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Cold Case Coalition. Jason, thank you for being with us

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: when I will want call is made. Isn't it true

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: that there is call a ID on the other end

88
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: and that that call can also be pinged and traced?

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, they know exactly the IP location where that

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: call was played, so for them to be checking in

91
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: the vicinity of the home makes sense because they're realizing

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: that was her last known location.

93
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something, Jason Jensen. The other night,

94
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: You know, my twins are now fifteen. So we John

95
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: David my son wanted to practice drive at night, so

96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: out we went at about a quarter of nine. So

97
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: we drove all through the neighborhood and he said, let's

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: cross the highway and drive over to the church. So

99
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I said, okay, it's right there, resigning, we crossed over

100
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: and we went to the parking lot of the church,

101
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: and we're driving around and lo and behold, right there

102
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: in the back parking lot where the big Boy Scout

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: camper van is parked, there was a guy. Of course,

104
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I got his description, hunched down in the driver's seat

105
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: of what appeared to be a gray Silver Tacoma at

106
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: nine point thirty at night, hiding behind a Boy Scout

107
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: camper van, so when you drove by the church you

108
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: couldn't see him. Well, of course, I call a nine

109
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: one one. This is what I'm circuitously working up to

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: appoint Jason within about five minutes, I got a call

111
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: back on my cell phone and they said, why were

112
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: you suspicial said, I know, I've never seen that car

113
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: in that parking lot before. The guy was hunched down

114
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: in his car seat like he didn't want me to

115
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: see him. And he's parked about a foot away from

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: a boy scout camper. That's not normal. Why is he

117
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: in our church parking lot? Anyway? They say, can you

118
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: give us a description because we're looking for a white

119
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: male right now in that area. Anyway, My point is

120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: you darn too, and they've got your phone number even

121
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: if you punched Star six, I'm going to try to

122
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: block it if they will find you. And I don't

123
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: understand why this woman calls nine to one one from

124
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 1: this area, why they didn't go immediately to the area.

125
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: Help me, Jason.

126
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bewildering because according to what reports have claimed

127
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: is that she was literally.

128
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 11: Yelling for nine to one one, help me, help me,

129
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 11: help me.

130
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: So she's obviously in distress, she knows she is, so

131
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: something's afoot.

132
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Okay, how would that happen, though, er Miil, or how

133
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: would they actually go about getting her a location? They

134
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: obviously had her phone number and did nothing well.

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 10: The technology that the police departments have these days is

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 10: just amazing. I'm not sure how advanced this particular department

137
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 10: is that received this nine to one one call. Every

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 10: department that I've either been associated with or having subpoened

139
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 10: their records for a case, they managed to have unbelievable

140
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 10: information as far as the actual towers that the phone

141
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 10: calls are connected to. The phone is connected to, they

142
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 10: can track your location within a matter of feet. And

143
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 10: I can't explain why this police department didn't do the

144
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 10: type of work that they were supposed to do when

145
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 10: a nine one one call comes in, I know they

146
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 10: prioritize the various cases that come in. There's a difference

147
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 10: between some a call and a shoplifting case and a

148
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 10: woman screaming for help, and to me, that's priority number one.

149
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: I guess everybody on this panel has heard the name

150
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: Kitty Genevici, a woman was stambed multiple times, screaming and

151
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: begging for help when people were looking out their windows

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: just watching her get murdered. That was in nineteen sixty four,

153
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: and the so called bystander effect has been a point

154
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: of discussion ever since. What liability if any do the

155
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: people have that stand by and watch what's the ones

156
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: that video record everything that's happening. Nicole Parton, joining us

Speaker 1: people observed her running out, screaming, and nobody did a thing.

159
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 8: That's right, Nancy. So, her boyfriend in the home where

160
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 8: she was last seen, his story is that he saw

161
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 8: her run out, he heard her screaming, Yet to my knowledge,

162
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 8: he made no nine to one one call himself. He

163
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 8: admits that he didn't go out to see what the

164
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 8: screaming was or if she was okay. He didn't follow

165
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 8: up on that. But there is that witness who says, yes,

166
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 8: I saw her leave the home, and yet I did

167
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 8: hear screaming.

168
00:09:53,400 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 9: Outside time stories with Nancy Grease.

169
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Guys, this is just a woman that you know, we

170
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: can't find that she's quote run off with her boyfriend.

171
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: I'll never get over Drewa. Peterson saying that over and

172
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: over and over about his wife, Stacy, his fourth wife, Stacy.

173
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: She's dead. He killed her, but he kept saying, oh,

174
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: she just left, She left behind her children, her car,

175
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: her clothes, She just ran off with her her knee

176
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: boyfriend there is no nee boyfriend. He killed her. This

177
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: woman ran from the home. This she's a girl as

178
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. She's twenty five years old, and

179
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: she's beautiful. She's got the bluest blue eyes I have

180
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: ever seen. She's gorgeous. She didn't just run off with

181
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: a new boyfriend. Foul play has befallen her again. The

182
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: tip line is three six zero four one six one one.

183
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Now take a listen to our friend Jake Chapman.

184
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: Her aunt tells us she'd been staying in this neighborhood

185
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: recently and was trying to call for help last Friday,

186
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: but sadly that call never went through. The Skedgy County

187
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 3: Sheriff's office confirming that information as they continue their search,

188
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: Deputy showing us where they've been looking the past week,

189
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: hoping to find anything that can lead to Machayla. Even

190
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: though this has been a tough time for the family.

191
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: You know, what may seem like we're not understanding what

192
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: they're doing, is it not? You know, we don't think

193
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: it's happening fast enough. But this is our kid that's missing. Okay,

194
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: we keep hearing the call didn't go through, The call

195
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: didn't go through. The call did go through. She was

196
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: started screaming into the phone to nine one one. Now

197
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: why nothing was done with that, I don't know, but

198
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: that call did go through. I'm following up on what

199
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: you just heard from Jake Chapman at Cairo seven. Mike

200
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: is with us, president founder of Peace River Canine Search

201
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: and Rescue. You can find at p r sa R

202
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: Peace River Search and Canine Rescue dot org.

203
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Mike, thank you for being with us. Sure, I find

204
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: it very curious that the family is having to go

205
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: out and search for Mikaela. I don't understand what's happening

206
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: with law enforcement in this area of Concrete, Washington, But

207
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the family is out and even handing out flyers with

208
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: their personal names on the flyers. What should be happening

209
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: in the search right now? What should LA law enforcement

210
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: be doing?

211
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: Well?

212
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 12: Speaking from my experience, generally, when a call like this

213
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 12: comes in, we are dispatched within three to four hours

214
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 12: after that call comes in. There's going to be an

215
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 12: initial deputy that goes out there. He's going to make

216
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 12: the call, and then they're going to start calling resources

217
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 12: in and we're all going to be out in the

218
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 12: river of the Woods everything within three to four hours

219
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 12: after that call comes in. I do not understand why

220
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 12: it took so long to get star teams. I think

221
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 12: it was three days before the actual search and rescue

222
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 12: teams got out there. Now, in the state of Washington,

223
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 12: they are excellent star teams there, I mean, they have

224
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 12: some of the best in the country in that state.

225
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 12: And why they're not out there, I don't know why

226
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 12: they're not out there. The law enforcement appears to have

227
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 12: dropped the ball on this one.

228
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I really do.

229
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 12: But it happens, especially in some of these smaller law

230
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 12: enforcement agencies. The report comes in, it gets put on

231
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 12: the missing person detective's desk. He's not back in until

232
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 12: Monday morning, so nothing happens until Monday morning, and so

233
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 12: it should have been those areas should have been come

234
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 12: within three to four hours after the call came in.

235
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: We also know that upon her running from the home

236
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: screaming calling nine one one, witnesses heard a car scratch off,

237
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: leading authorities she may have been in the car, which

238
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: completely alters the search. Joining us again Michaela's aunt, Marty Marteau.

239
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: Again this Martina, thank you for being with us. How

240
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: long did it take authorities to start looking for her.

241
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 13: Well.

242
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: First off, Mikayla's now twenty six.

243
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 6: She had a birthday on June nineteenth. And first off,

244
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 6: when she made the nine one one call, authorities knew

245
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 6: Mikayla and they knew her boyfriend very well. They knew

246
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 6: that she was staying in that house. And when after

247
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 6: the nine one one call, they went out and they

248
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 6: did search the area of the nine to one one call,

249
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 6: just up and down the road right there, but.

250
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: They didn't go knock on the door.

251
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 9: And that to me is.

252
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: That's heartbreaking right there, because if they would have went

253
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 6: and knocked on that door and asked if Mikayla was okay,

254
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 6: they may have found her right there because they knew

255
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: and they just left the area. And after we called

256
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 6: nine to one one that evening, uh, they said that

257
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: she she'll probably come back.

258
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: Don't worry about it, it's only been twelve hours.

259
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: Deputy was you know, the couple deputies went out kind

260
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 6: of just looked around and we told them we were

261
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 6: going to knock on doors, and you know, they said

262
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 6: we could do that.

263
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 5: They went knocked on a couple doors.

264
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 6: Detective was assigned Monday she went missing Friday, the detective

265
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 6: was assigned Monday. A small search and rescue team, not

266
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 6: not the actual Star team, just a small foot team

267
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: was assigned on Tuesday and they just kind of looked around,

268
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 6: and I believe her phone was found two or three

269
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 6: days after that, So like Wednesday or Thursday, her phone

270
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 6: was found and it was down the river. It was

271
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 6: in some bushes, and it was in an area that

272
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 6: we had already searched. We had already been all along

273
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 6: the banks of the river. That was the first place

274
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 6: the family searched was all along the river. As matter

275
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 6: of fact, it was where we did the Cairo the

276
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 6: Kiro interview. We were standing right there where they found

277
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: the blanket. There was a blanket there in her phone.

278
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 6: We were already there. That phone was planted there. I

279
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: guarantee that phone was planted there.

280
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 5: I put my life on it.

281
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 6: And we searched all along that area.

282
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 14: And then.

283
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: Two weeks after Mikayla went missing, the family hired our

284
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 6: own search dog team. The family did and we searched

285
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 6: all along the river banks up along the boyfriend's property

286
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 6: and we didn't find anything. And then three weeks after

287
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 6: Mikayla went missing. That's when the Sheriff's office finally deployed

288
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: the actual Stars team with the dogs, quads, boats, all

289
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 6: of that.

290
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: They did have like that.

291
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 6: Before that, they put some boats in the river. They

292
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 6: had a helicopter up after. That's after they found her phone.

293
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 6: After they found her phone, which was probably within five

294
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: to seven days after she went missing, that's when they

295
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 6: put the boats in the water in a helicopter and

296
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 6: a couple of them walked around. That's that's when they

297
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 6: That's when there was nothing done. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

298
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 6: there was a couple of detectives assigned and we were

299
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 6: told that if we went up there, we'd be impeding

300
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 6: an investigation. I've been threatened with charges.

301
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: You were actually threatened with being charged with impeding.

302
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been threatened with impeding an investigation. I've been

303
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 6: threatened with burglary because I've knocked on people's doors and said, hey,

304
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: you know, Michayla could be hiding in an outshd or a.

305
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: Trade or why would she be hiding in a shed.

306
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 6: She she was running, She was running, screaming, trying to

307
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 6: get away from somebody we think would not now, but

308
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 6: this was like the first couple of days.

309
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 5: She could be hiding.

310
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 6: It was a very violent situation that she was in.

311
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: She was that night she was.

312
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 6: Calling for a ride to get out of that house.

313
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 6: She was trying to get out of that house. That's

314
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 6: what was going on, and then that's why she was afraid.

315
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 6: She was afraid of something that There was the phone

316
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 6: call that she made to her dad at two thirty

317
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 6: in the morning. This was going on from two thirty

318
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 6: in the morning on she was she was trying to

319
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 6: call for ride home. Her brother's car was broke down.

320
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 6: She called her dad and he said that he was

321
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 6: going to get up and get ready for work and

322
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 6: come get her. Another thing that hasn't been mentioned much

323
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 6: is after the nine to one one phone call about

324
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 6: it was thirteen minutes or seventeen minutes later she made

325
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 6: another phone call. She made that phone call to her

326
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 6: dad and he was in the shower getting ready for work,

327
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: and he didn't get the phone call. So there was

328
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 6: another phone call made.

329
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: After nine one one.

330
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: What does she say to her dad.

331
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 6: He didn't answer the phone, he was in the shower.

332
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 6: Does she leave a message, No, huh, she just made

333
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: a phone call or her phone made a phone call.

334
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 5: We're not even sure if it was her or her phone.

335
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 6: Made a phone call. So after nine one one, the

336
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 6: phone wasn't dead, it was it was. We don't know

337
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: if what was taken from her and stopped or what,

338
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: but on his phone log, we've all seen it, and

339
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: the police has seen it too. So about fifteen minutes

340
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 6: after nine one one, she made another phone call to

341
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 6: her dad, and the boyfriend has three different stories. She

342
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 6: went running out of the house barefoot and he'd let

343
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 6: her go, and then the second story is he ran

344
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 6: out after her and he hears a car taking off.

345
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 6: And now there's another story that he supposedly saw silver

346
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 6: car take off. So that's you know, there's a lot

347
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 6: of stories coming from.

348
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: It's never good when someone changes their story or Miller,

349
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: would you agree with that. You're a veteran trial lawyer.

350
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: It's one thing if you embellish or add to your

351
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: story upon questioning, but when you actually change the facts,

352
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: your original facts, that's not good.

353
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 11: That's not good.

354
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 10: And that's why law enforcement would consider witness testimony as

355
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 10: the least powerful testimony there could be. I prefer fight

356
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 10: forensic testimony. I prefer expert testimony. I prefer cell phone videos,

357
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 10: the recordings and nine.

358
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 11: To one on recordings.

359
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 10: But witnesses lie and other types of evidence, you don't

360
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 10: have to worry about credibility issues like you have to

361
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 10: do with a witness. Certainly, the boyfriend in this case,

362
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 10: I think his credibility is probably down to zero at

363
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 10: this point in time.

364
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: Well, the first time he changed his story, actually the

365
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: first time he reportedly did nothing when she ran from

366
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: the home screaming and calling nine one one, he lost

367
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: all credibility right there. But then when he changed your

368
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: story the first time, no, completely incredible. Karen Start is

369
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: joining me renowned psychologists out of the Manhattan jurisdiction. You

370
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: can find her at karenst dot com Karen with Us.

371
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: See Karen, how many times have you and I heard

372
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: that police first reaction when a woman goes missing is

373
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: she'll be back and nanty.

374
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 5: They don't just do that.

375
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 14: They do that all the time with missing kids.

376
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 8: Don't worry, they'll be back.

377
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 14: The thing that you mentioned before about the boyfriend is

378
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 14: what's most disturbing to me, because he's changed his story

379
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 14: so many times, and supposedly she was fighting with him

380
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 14: and that was the reason that she left so there's

381
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 14: something up there that there's something the farious it seems

382
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 14: to me and not credible about him, and I just

383
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 14: wonder what was really going on between the two of

384
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 14: them and what was it that he witnessed. This is

385
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 14: such a bizarre story and so unfair to the family.

386
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Another issue is, of course, no one has been charged,

387
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: no one has been named a POI person of interest.

388
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: Another issue, to Nicole parton joining us Crime online dot

389
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: Com investigative reporter, is a very disturbing post that Mikiela

390
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: made just days before she seemingly vanished into thin air

391
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: after screaming into the phone to nine one one. That

392
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: post says something to the effect, if I ever go missing,

393
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: just know I didn't leave. What can you tell me?

394
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: Nicole Partner about this post?

395
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 8: Absolutely so. She had posted that on her social media

396
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 8: and those were the exact words. If I ever go missing,

397
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 8: I didn't leave. I think it's also important to note

398
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 8: Nancy this Mikayla is a mother. I'm a mother, You're

399
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 8: a mother. We just don't leave our children. Mikayla has

400
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 8: a beautiful two year old child. She's not just going

401
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 8: to run away and leave this child that she adores.

402
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 8: That message as though she was telling the world, if

403
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 8: I ever go missing, I didn't just leave. It's very

404
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 8: haunting at this point.

405
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: Well, it also goes without saying that no one within

406
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: that home reported her missing, no one followed up on

407
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: the nine one one call, and left behind is a

408
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: three year old little boy that you're talking about, Nicole parton,

409
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: a three year old taught boy that she would never

410
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: have left behind. Nicole. Also, can you tell me about Concrete, Washington?

411
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: What do we know about it?

412
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 8: One of the most disturbing things that I found about

413
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 8: this area is I was shocked to see how much

414
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 8: human trafficking is happening in this very small area of Concrete, Washington,

415
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 8: to the point that this small town has detective that

416
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 8: just work these human trafficking cases, and I believe one

417
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 8: of those detectives has been assigned to this case. Also

418
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 8: in that area, without going into too much detail, that

419
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 8: we can't discuss in that community, in that area where

420
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 8: she went missing, detectives have in prior time toned in

421
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 8: because there have been cases of human trafficking out of

422
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 8: that very community where she went missing.

423
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Concrete is in north central Skagga County in Washington. Its

424
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: population is seven hundred and five, not seven hundred five thousand,

425
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: not seven hundred and five thousand, seven hundred and five

426
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: people concrete. Okay, let that soak in. That greatly reduces

427
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: a potential suspect pool. Would you agree, Jason Jensen.

428
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 11: Well, yes, that's a very small finite number to work with.

429
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 11: I mean, it's almost reminiscent of one of the first

430
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 11: DNA cases in England where they were able to test

431
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 11: the entire community. Because there's such a small population here.

432
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 11: I'm sure law enforcements are very familiar with who are

433
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 11: the good people, who are the criminals, and they can

434
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 11: definitely start from a smaller group and work wider tearing

435
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 11: down different suspects. But I find interesting about this post

436
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 11: about if something happens to me, it really is reminiscent

437
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 11: to the Susan coxs Pall case that I worked on,

438
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 11: where clearly, as we all know power Josh Powell her

439
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 11: husband had something to do with it. That the number

440
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 11: one reason why a woman goes miseners and distresses, usually

441
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 11: from domestic violence, somebody that she's familiar with, the family

442
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 11: member or boyfriend, husband thinks of that nature. Those are

443
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 11: typically the first people that law enforcement needs to rule out.

444
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the human traffic angle, the aspect

445
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: that Nicole Parton brought up. As a matter of fact,

446
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: the county is so concerned about human trafficking and the

447
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: numbers there that the Skaggat County Coalition Against Trafficking Turning

448
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Off the Red Light has been formed. Now you've got

449
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: the human trafficking problem that is, for some reason, heavily

450
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: heavily evident there in concrete, Washington. But you also have

451
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: this bizarre post. If anything happens to me, I didn't leave.

452
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: Marty Marteau is with us. This is Mikhaiela's aunt, Miss Marteau.

453
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: What did that mean?

454
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 6: MICHAELA knew about she. She talked about human trafficking to

455
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 6: myself and her mother.

456
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Miss Marteau. When you say she discussed human trafficking, was

457
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: she afraid of being human trafficked?

458
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: She she was afraid.

459
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: She was?

460
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 5: She was afraid.

461
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: She she was.

462
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 6: She had spoke to her brother about all the missing girls,

463
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 6: and she actually wanted to help find missing girls. That

464
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 6: was one of her That was one of her goals. Actually,

465
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 6: she wanted to help people. And you know we told

466
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 6: her that her brothers told her that it was dangerous

467
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 6: and that she you know, she asked him to take

468
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 6: her up there and to help look for missing girls,

469
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 6: and she didn't.

470
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 5: Want to He didn't want her to do that.

471
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: Of course, the reality is Jason Jensen that once someone

472
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: is kidnapped and put into sex trafficking, they're gone. They're

473
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: typically taken from the area.

474
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 5: Would you agree with that, Oh, yes, one hundred percent.

475
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: I would agree with that. The biggest problem, the piece

476
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 4: of this puzzle that throws me into the different direction,

477
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: is the fact that her cell phone was found near

478
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 4: her residence in a bush.

479
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 11: That seems to be staged there.

480
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: And if she's being trafficked, why go back to the

481
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: scene of her last known location.

482
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 11: It seems to be too convenient to find the phone

483
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 11: near the house.

484
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: And thrown in a bush, in my mind, indicating that

485
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: she had somehow ended up in that river. Guys, the

486
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: search did commence, maybe too late. Take a listen to

487
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: our friends at k I R. Seven.

488
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: Chapman Police have wrapped up their search efforts for the day,

489
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: but they plan to be back out here tomorrow. But

490
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: they've combed this entire area we're standing in right now.

491
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: They've even taken their search to the Scadget River, which

492
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 3: is right over my shoulder here.

493
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: They've had boats going up and down.

494
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: They've even taken their search to the skies with drones,

495
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: and they had a helicopter fly over here just this afternoon.

496
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: But right now, family of friends who've traveled near and

497
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: far to search for Mikayless say they're going to be

498
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: out here for as long.

499
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: As it takes. Prime stories with Nancy Grace, Thank to you,

500
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Mike Hansell, President founder Peace River Canine Search and Rescue.

501
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like they did get into the search, but

502
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: was it too late. She goes missing on Friday and

503
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday before they really get in motion.

504
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 12: Well, at that stage, they're going to run two different

505
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 12: types of dogs. They're going to run the live find

506
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 12: dogs and the cadaver dogs, both they should be anyway.

507
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 12: And then they're going to have the grid teams out

508
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 12: checking the wooded areas looking for anything that they can.

509
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 12: I agree with the other gentleman that the cell phone

510
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 12: is staged. That's pretty common that they go back and

511
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 12: drop something like that.

512
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Well, who is they?

513
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 12: Well, the criminal elements, and I'll offer my theory that

514
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 12: crime is dumb. And a lot of times they do

515
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 12: things that they don't seem to make sense, but to

516
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 12: them it does. And you know, trying to indicate that

517
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 12: she's somehow in the river, but that river is it moves,

518
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 12: but it's fairly shallow. It wouldn't be hard to find

519
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 12: her remains if they were in there.

520
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: So she's not in the river. Would you agree, Mike Hatsel,

521
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: she's not in the river. If the river is affect shallow,

522
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: they would have found her by.

523
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 12: Now, Yes, I would agree with that. And I also think,

524
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 12: as far as I can tell, no one's ever searched

525
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 12: the boyfriend's home.

526
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: That is one of my questions. Was the home ever searched?

527
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Because we know this woman twenty five years old now

528
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: twenty six is just before twenty six birthday missing since

529
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: she ran out of that house and call nine one one,

530
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: only for her phone line to suddenly go dead, rendering

531
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: local cops unable to find her. According to them, what

532
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: do you know, Nicole Parton, was the home ever searched?

533
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 8: The home was not searched, and even when the search

534
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 8: dogs came out, a gentleman in the home refused to

535
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 8: allow those to come in. The detective did not pursue

536
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 8: searching inside the home early on when that nine to

537
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 8: one one call was made, or even after the fact

538
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 8: er Miller.

539
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: That is complete incompetence. They should have gone to the

540
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: home with a search warrant and.

541
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 10: See they didn't have a consent to search, which should

542
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 10: be required absence of search warrant, and a search warrant

543
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 10: should be done quickly because once as time progresses and

544
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 10: information that could lead to probable cause become stale and

545
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 10: you're not going to get a search warrant. So that

546
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 10: should have been done asap as you've said.

547
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: The reality is it's not too late or knowing what

548
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: we know, I mean, you can still get a search warrant. Oh, absolutely,

549
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: you can still get a search warrant. Now has evidence

550
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: been destroyed if there was any, Probably, But I've learned,

551
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: we've all learned that it's very, very hard to get

552
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: rid of certain evidence. And I'm referring specifically to blood evidence.

553
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 11: That's very true.

554
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 10: And I've actually participated in searches of apartments so with

555
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 10: forensic teams from the Chicago Police Department that the apartment

556
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 10: looked pristine to the naked eye. But there's certain ways

557
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 10: that forensic teams have ways to determine if there had

558
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 10: been flood there, if there had been any type of

559
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 10: efforts to remove the blood from the scene. Even using

560
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 10: bleach doesn't necessarily totally eliminate the law enforcement abilities to

561
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 10: look at.

562
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: It needs something more like myriadic acid. Bleach doesn't cut it,

563
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: something like a black swan. Myriadic acid does the trick.

564
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: Marty Martine joining me, this is Mikaela's aunt. Was that

565
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: home ever searched?

566
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did.

567
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 5: They did do a search on the boyfriend's residence.

568
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 6: It was later on.

569
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't immediate. I don't know exactly what they took

570
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 5: out of there, but they did go in there after.

571
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: I know it was at least a week the day

572
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: that we all showed up there.

573
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: Though.

574
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 6: The boyfriend had an ex girlfriend in the home who

575
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 6: is a professional house cleaner, which was really odd to us.

576
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: A professional house cleaner in the home. Yeah, okay, what

577
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: we know. Mikhaila Standridge, beautiful blue Eyes is about one

578
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, a tiny little slip of a girl, and

579
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: leaving behind this now twenty six year old mom is

580
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: a three year old little boy. This is eerily reminiscent

581
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: of the case of Michelle Russ. Take a listen our

582
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: cut seven wmar.

583
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 15: Michelle Russ disappeared on the day of what was supposed

584
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 15: to be her son's third birthday party. Her husband told

585
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 15: police she left their Hailthorpe home to go to the

586
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 15: store that morning. Later that day, Michelle's nineteen ninety eight

587
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 15: green Dodge caravan was found along a street by Hillcrest

588
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 15: Park in nearby Lansdowne.

589
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 16: The key actually was in the driver's side door broken

590
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 16: off inside of that caravan when it was found. Neighbors

591
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 16: in the area were questioned about anything that they may

592
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 16: have seen, and unfortunately, nobody saw anything relating to how

593
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 16: that van got there and more.

594
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 15: As far as what happened to the twenty four year

595
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 15: old missing mom after that. Baltimore County Police Corporal Donna

596
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 15: Carter explains why detectives believe Michelle fell victim to foul play.

597
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 16: Her credit cards were never used, there was no ag

598
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 16: m activity, her checking account never had checks written against it,

599
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 16: so foul play was assumed. Also, she was diabetic, and

600
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 16: she was a devoted mother, so it just doesn't make sense.

601
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: That case Michelle never found. It goes on and on

602
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: and on. Here's another victim. Take a listen to our

603
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: cut thirteen WRCB.

604
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 17: She had so many dreams. She wanted to be a

605
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 17: marine biologist and she got detoured. I think the answer

606
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 17: will come out on the people that's involved.

607
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: We just don't understand exactly what happened, you know, just

608
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: where it went.

609
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 18: Wrong easlynd was last known to be at the Flying

610
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 18: Ja truck stop in Resaca, Georgia. That's where police found

611
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 18: her car. Inside were her keys, her book bag, and

612
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 18: her wallet, but she was nowhere to be found.

613
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: Keys and Roberts to this day not found. And what

614
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: about Gretchen Fleming? Take a listen our cut fifteen WCHS.

615
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 13: The Parkersburg Police Department is asking for your help in

616
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 13: finding twenty seven year old Gretchen Fleming of Vienna. Detectives

617
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 13: say she was last seeing the night of December third

618
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 13: and fourth, but relatives didn't realize she was gone quickly

619
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 13: and did not report it until this week. Police located

620
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 13: her purse and phone, amping up concern. Detectives have worked

621
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 13: around the clock since then to cultivate information, and the

622
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 13: public has really stepped up in regard to tip.

623
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: And of course, Jane Johnson coming from a small area

624
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: much like Concrete, Washington, where the neighbors say nothing like

625
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: that ever happens here. Take a listen to our cut nineteen.

626
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Our friends at KRQE.

627
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 4: People just don't go missing like that around here.

628
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 19: They've spent months searching all around Lincoln County looking for

629
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 19: any clues to tell the hundreds of volunteers what may

630
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 19: have happened Gene Johnson.

631
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 15: I mean, he just kind of shook everybody up a

632
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 15: little bit, like who you know who would do this?

633
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 14: And what did they do?

634
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 8: And would you know?

635
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 11: Where is she?

636
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: It's just it just makes no sense.

637
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: Leading the search. Johnson's daughter, Heidi, like.

638
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,359

641
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: you believe Mikaela is still alive.

642
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: I'm hoping and praying that she is with everything that

643
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 6: I've got. That's what we're really hoping for.

644
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: Have you spoken Have you spoken to the boyfriend?

645
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 5: I haven't spoken to him in over a month. I

646
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 5: tried to. Last time I spoke to him, it wasn't.

647
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 6: He told me that I need to get my sources straight.

648
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 6: I was asking who someone was and it wasn't a

649
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 6: good conversation. He told me that he wanted to talk

650
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 6: to me personally, one on one. We haven't had that

651
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,880

Speaker 6: was supposed to take care of my niece, and for

Speaker 6: someone to hear someone who he supposedly loves yell help, help, help,

00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 6: and going off into the night and not call nine

655
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 6: one one or not go after her, that makes him

656
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 6: guilty in my eyes.
