After that, she was never 410 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: heard from again. 411 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: I don't know why people keep referring to him as 412 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: a twenty four year old boyfriend. I mean, any relationship, 413 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: any sex relationship they had is statutory rape. So, Bonnie, 414 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: while this was happening, did Danielle's mom ever reveal to 415 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: you what was going on or the nature of mommy's 416 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: relationship with Sanchez. 417 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 8: No. As a matter of fact, about two weeks before 418 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 8: Danielle went missing, I had taken her to Pensacola Beach 419 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 8: to have photos made. When we got back to mom 420 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 8: tells Danielle asked her if she could have a friend 421 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 8: come over, and my mom said, yes, I was there. 422 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 8: I may a plate of food I was eating. Next 423 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 8: thing I know, my sister comes in from outside. I 424 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 8: asked my mom, I said, what is she doing hanging 425 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 8: out with this guy? Because my sister additionally asked if 426 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 8: they could go for a ride, and my mom consents 427 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 8: it to that. It's Sunday night at like a thirty 428 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 8: nine o'clock. So I asked my mom, why is she 429 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 8: hanging out with this guy that's older than me? And 430 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 8: my mom says she babysits for him. From there, my 431 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 8: sister gets around at me before, right. 432 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: So your mom actively lied to you about who Sanchez was. 433 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 4: She didn't say anything about her own. 434 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: Relationship with Sanchez, nothing at all, right, and she actively 435 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: lied about it. 436 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, right, And so. 437 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 8: My sister gets mad at me. Is like, Bonnie, and 438 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 8: your mind your own business and stay out of it. 439 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 8: So we didn't. That's the last time I saw my sister. 440 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 8: I walked out the door and I didn't hear from 441 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 8: my sister for two weeks, weeks, which was uncommon. I mean, 442 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 8: we talked often, and I saw her on you know, 443 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 8: at least twice a week, or if it wasn't me, 444 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 8: it was one of my friends that saw her. And 445 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 8: I didn't find out that my sister was involved in 446 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 8: any way other than babysitting Alfredo Sanchez until she goes missing. 447 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 8: And then that's when I find out. 448 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: That day, my mom. 449 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 8: Tells us that my sister told her she was pregnant. 450 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 8: It hadn't been confirmed because she had a doctor's appointment 451 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 8: the following week, and that it was because Alfredo Santos 452 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 8: had been giving her drugs and alcohol, and it was 453 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 8: at that time, I'm like, I just saw you let 454 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 8: her be with him two weeks prior to this comes 455 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 8: to find out her timeline changes. It was two weeks 456 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 8: before she went missing that she found out three weeks 457 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 8: and it just kept changing and it never added up. 458 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: So the irony is this doctor appointment. Doctor's appointment was 459 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: just set just after she goes missing, so before the 460 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 2: pregnancy could be confirmed by a doctor, she disappears, and 461 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: it is literally she's reported missing the night before she's 462 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: set to move in with her dad, which would have 463 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 2: ended any relationship sex relationship with the minor in exchange for. 464 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: Drugs deal that was going on. 465 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: I wonder, matt Bell, how many times you play this 466 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: over in your mind? 467 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 4: Would have, could have? 468 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: Should have you asked her to move home with you? 469 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 2: You gave them money, you gave them food. You what 470 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: keeps you up at night, mister Bell? 471 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 7: Failing my daughter. 472 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 6: Because they are supposed to protect their children, and I 473 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 6: felt like I failed. You know the last words she 474 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 6: said to me when she walked away from my truck 475 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 6: and I told her just ride home, Matthew, she just 476 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 6: turned around and told me she loved me. And that 477 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 6: was the last time I seen her and I live 478 00:27:54,119 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 6: that every day. So, Hm, it's the biggest regret I got. 479 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: Bonnie, what memory? What vid the most vivid. 480 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: Memory of Danielle keeps you awake at night? 481 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 8: That was the last day that we spent together. And 482 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: on the way home, she asked me if I would 483 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 8: stop at a payphone so she could call her friend. 484 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 8: I told her, no, I'm taking you back where I 485 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 8: got you. And I wish I would have not taken 486 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 8: her back where I got her. I should have. 487 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: Taken her with. 488 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 8: Me, and she should have been with her dad, you know. 489 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 8: And that's kind of I wish I would have just 490 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 8: taken her right then.
