Speaker 1: After Emory's death, her aunt Becky kept calling the LAPD
Speaker 1: detective after detective just to check in for over a decade.
Speaker 1: There's no faith to have. It's like I said, if
Speaker 1: she wouldn't call, we probably wouldn't know anything. This is
Speaker 1: Emory's sister, Crystal. Again, we'd probably be thirty steps behind
Speaker 1: where we actually are now. And you know, I know
Speaker 1: they have big jobs, big cases they need to take
Speaker 1: care of, but she, along with the other millions of
Speaker 1: people that have been murdered, meant something to us. She
Speaker 1: had a family and she was only fourteen. She had
Speaker 1: a future of out of her. It's hard to have
Speaker 1: faith and something that you see no potential in because
Speaker 1: the people in charge they're not They're not giving you
Speaker 1: any insights, they're not keeping you updated, they're not keeping
Speaker 1: you in the loop. They kind of just brush it
Speaker 1: off in a sense. And you know, like I feel,
Speaker 1: if she was taken to from the beginning, we would
Speaker 1: probably know something Bry now. So when I did get
Speaker 1: new information on Emory's case, I immediately called her aunt Becky. Hello,
Speaker 1: Hi Becky, Hi, how are you hi? Good? This is
Speaker 1: Janis from Vice Vice N Yes, yes, how are you
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm waiting for my mouth to doct disappointment. Okay,
Speaker 1: how oh so so we're we got here early, so
Speaker 1: we're waiting in the car for the time. They don't
Speaker 1: have you right, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we've been trying to
Speaker 1: get a hold of anyone at Central Bureau Homicide UM
Speaker 1: because they've just stopped been answering our phone calls, not
Speaker 1: been like you know, not not not answering anything. We've
Speaker 1: been living voicemails, and they've been kind of hard to
Speaker 1: getting in contact with. Yeah, yeah, and yeah, we finally did.
Speaker 1: They said that the case is currently considered fresh, which
Speaker 1: means it's active because of information that was provided by
Speaker 1: the by the family. We don't know what the family
Speaker 1: lead was, and LABD won't share more specifics. The family
Speaker 1: members we talked to don't seem to know either. I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure what he meant by information that was
Speaker 1: provided by the family, but it was. Yeah. Every time
Speaker 1: we'll hear like a rumor or somebody calls one of
Speaker 1: us with some seeing that they heard, we called right
Speaker 1: away and we let them know. From I Heearts, Michael
Speaker 1: du A, Podcast Network, Vice and Elia Studios, this is
Speaker 1: party cruise the Untold Story. I'm Genus Amalca. In November
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, LIPD told us that Emory's case
Speaker 1: was fresh again, meaning that while it had been cold,
Speaker 1: they were investigating new information related to the case. We
Speaker 1: kept calling for updates but couldn't get more information than that.
Speaker 1: But a few months later we did get a new contact. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll hear you this. Yes, okay, I was out of
Speaker 1: the country visiting my family in Peru for a few weeks.
Speaker 1: So this is senior producer Sophia Palissa Carr on the
Speaker 1: phone with Becky. I ended up getting a call and
Speaker 1: she had some information that I wanted to pass on
Speaker 1: to you. The corner investigator we interviewed in a past
Speaker 1: episode told us she wanted us to pass on to
Speaker 1: Emory's family the name and number of an investigator she knew.
Speaker 1: His name is Moiss Castillo. Moses Castillo is a former
Speaker 1: LPD detective supervisor where he worked specifically on crimes against
Speaker 1: children for fifteen years. After close to three decades, he
Speaker 1: retired from the force and now he work for a
Speaker 1: law firm as a chief investigator where he also does
Speaker 1: pro bone or work and what he told me. I
Speaker 1: called him and just talked to him, and he told
Speaker 1: me that his priority would be to make sure that
Speaker 1: the family could meet with the police department and just
Speaker 1: make sure that where the case is at now. And
Speaker 1: I don't really know what that means exactly, but I
Speaker 1: know that he has a lot of contacts in LAPD,
Speaker 1: like you should really talk to him and see what
Speaker 1: you want to do. So what do you think do
Speaker 1: you think you might would like? Yeah, I would like
Speaker 1: to meet with him, you know, and uh, you know
Speaker 1: my niece Crystal and my sister Maria, and I was
Speaker 1: say her dad. They don't live together anymore with him
Speaker 1: and my sister, but he's still in the picture. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you would like to
Speaker 1: be there too. I would love to be there just
Speaker 1: to see the process. And I think how hard it
Speaker 1: to get information is important for people to know, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's been so long. But whatever you're comfortable with,
Speaker 1: I'll stop calling people today and see and then call
Speaker 1: him too. Sophia is going to take it from here.
Speaker 1: HI can help you. Hi, I'm going up to sweet
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. Are you here for Moses Castillo Um He's
Speaker 1: part of the law for After I talked to Becky,
Speaker 1: she did end up reaching out to Moses, and a
Speaker 1: couple of days later she let me know that they
Speaker 1: had set a time to meet. I was surprised because
Speaker 1: about ten people showed up. This is Maria, Emory's mom.
Speaker 1: Helloa Becky, Emory's aunt, was there as well as Emory's
Speaker 1: mom and her dad, and her brother John. John's wife
Speaker 1: and his two kids also came out, and a couple
Speaker 1: of Emory's friends too, Alejandra, who we've spoken to, and
Speaker 1: her other friend Madison. Since originally Emory's mom hadn't been
Speaker 1: interested in speaking to us for this story, this was
Speaker 1: the first time that any of us had heard from
Speaker 1: either of Emory's parents before we met. We did ask
Speaker 1: the entire family for permission, and they agreed to let
Speaker 1: us record it. The meeting was at a law firm
Speaker 1: in downtown Glendale on a Saturday morning in February. It
Speaker 1: was this tall, glossy building and because it was the weekend,
Speaker 1: the entire office was empty and quiet. Anybody want any coffee?
Speaker 1: And there's a little next for the kids too, for
Speaker 1: the dults to This is the former detective Moses Castillo,
Speaker 1: His demeanor was low key. He had brought some pandu
Speaker 1: and he joked as he put it on the table
Speaker 1: that quote I heard there were some Latinos here. He
Speaker 1: clearly understood it was going to be intense for the family. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to say thank you for
Speaker 1: ling me in this journey that you've been going through
Speaker 1: for so long. And it's I have no word for relate.
Speaker 1: I dream he's the pain and that I want to
Speaker 1: hear about Emory. I want you to tell me about Emory,
Speaker 1: and I know that might be painful, but it still
Speaker 1: be important because I want My ultimate goal is to
Speaker 1: get you to me with the detectives on his case.
Speaker 1: Before we ended up getting into the nitty gritty, Moses
Speaker 1: asked to lead the room in prayer. Good God, I
Speaker 1: thank you for your love and for you goodness, all right, grace,
Speaker 1: that you would that Emory's family know that they are
Speaker 1: not alone. During the prayer, Emory's mother started to get emotional.
Speaker 1: Moses asked her to speak first, but she couldn't, so
Speaker 1: he turned to Jose, Emory's dad. Because you want do
Speaker 1: you want someone else to start or give you some time?
Speaker 1: Who's it? Yes, sir, would you like to tell me
Speaker 1: about I was not there. I was a father figure
Speaker 1: and um but uh I would see them and give
Speaker 1: them what they needed. As you know, they called me
Speaker 1: and they tell me, and uh, you know, I just
Speaker 1: I just I like I said, I was, I wasn't there,
Speaker 1: you know, like the way I wish I would. I was.
Speaker 1: And you know she was. She was a She was
Speaker 1: a happy child. And I know she would cry and
Speaker 1: say where's my dad? Where's my dad? Because I wasn't there.
Speaker 1: But she, you know, I just she was. She was
Speaker 1: a happy girl. When Maria was finally ready to talk,
Speaker 1: she ended up echoing a lot of what Jose said.
Speaker 1: She was wearing this silver chain necklace with two hearts,
Speaker 1: which used to belong to Emory. So I shee was
Speaker 1: a wonderful person. She was always singing, dancing. She's timing
Speaker 1: that she wanted She had a lot of friends. She
Speaker 1: wanted everybody to like her. She would put her brands
Speaker 1: for her if they needed something. She was always copying
Speaker 1: them out. And she was just a happy person. I
Speaker 1: only told why somebody would want to hurt her. Maria
Speaker 1: told Moses how Emory struggled at school, how there were
Speaker 1: girls who wanted to jump her. We talked about this
Speaker 1: in a previous episode about how the family recalls that
Speaker 1: some girls showed up one day at the house and
Speaker 1: harassed Emory with a baseball bat. So Maria had her
Speaker 1: changed schools and then homeschooled her for two years, and
Speaker 1: then she went to Francisco Bravo High School, where things
Speaker 1: had seemed to be going well when she started going
Speaker 1: to brav where her grace went back up. And I
Speaker 1: guess said, maybe she's hang around with the wrong crowd
Speaker 1: or because she wasn't having poulos though. It's like I
Speaker 1: would ask her, is there anybody that wants to hurt true?
Speaker 1: Is everybody wants you like tell you stuff? She's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they agreed to whatever. I guess it was just the
Speaker 1: crowd she hanged around with that I don't know. The
Speaker 1: other person that we haven't heard from directly, but whose
Speaker 1: name had come up in other interviews was Emory's younger
Speaker 1: brother John, any other questions, you want to share something
Speaker 1: about your sister. John is the one who got in
Speaker 1: a fight with her the day she disappeared. He was
Speaker 1: sitting at the very end of the table and he
Speaker 1: was wearing an La Rams jacket. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: was thirteen at the time, she was fourteen. I was,
Speaker 1: I was all enough to know what was going on.
Speaker 1: But we're too young to understand. My sister was involved
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, she was too young to be
Speaker 1: involved with the people that she hung around with, you know,
Speaker 1: the party scene. She knew a lot for her aide um,
Speaker 1: I'm at peace, you know, of what would occurred. I
Speaker 1: came to peace with it. No matter what, you know,
Speaker 1: doing justice or not, it doesn't I really, it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter to me. You know, I don't believe her
Speaker 1: as well, and so I forgive the people or a
Speaker 1: person that did the If we could find out what happened,
Speaker 1: it'll be you know, from their mom. You know, she's
Speaker 1: who will heard at it to the other part of
Speaker 1: this meeting was creating a space to share tips and
Speaker 1: theories that have come in over the years. As we've
Speaker 1: mentioned in a previous episode, the family has a ton
Speaker 1: of them. People have reached out from all over giving
Speaker 1: them information after Emory's death, things they saw or things
Speaker 1: they heard, and this is the type of information that
Speaker 1: Becky would call LAPD detectives with whether they followed up
Speaker 1: or not. The family doesn't know, but they would call
Speaker 1: and relay everything that they heard. There are two theories
Speaker 1: that we've heard that have come up again and again.
Speaker 1: Like we said previously, given the total speculative nature of
Speaker 1: these theories, we're only going to include first initials and
Speaker 1: we're going to cut out full names in the tape
Speaker 1: for privacy. So one of the theories was about Emory's
Speaker 1: former boyfriend at the time of her death, who we
Speaker 1: are calling r. He's currently in prison for a second
Speaker 1: degree attempted murder. In the meeting, Emory's mom talked about
Speaker 1: how a friend of the family ran into our after
Speaker 1: Emory's death. They were talking to him through the window
Speaker 1: and that she said that she hurled her out and
Speaker 1: she's seen Emory's rings inside of struck. That was like
Speaker 1: about six months she classed away. Oh my, yeah, we visit.
Speaker 1: We mentioned this in episode four. But Emory was known
Speaker 1: for wearing all these different rings, and when she was
Speaker 1: found they were all gone, and there were tan lines
Speaker 1: as well in her hands where they had been. Her
Speaker 1: family never found those rings. The other theory is focused
Speaker 1: on Emory's friend's ex boyfriend we're calling him. S Alejandra,
Speaker 1: her high school friend, says he spoke to Emory the
Speaker 1: day she disappeared, and I'm not sure what they talked about,
Speaker 1: but I remember they were going to meet after school
Speaker 1: and he was pretty upset about something that had happened.
Speaker 1: She says that s got upset with Emory because he
Speaker 1: felt that Emory got in between him and his ex girlfriend. Again,
Speaker 1: We've tried to reach out to all of these people
Speaker 1: numerous times. Maria. Emory's mom also said that they had
Speaker 1: been told that the police did talk to s at
Speaker 1: the time. They went to his house supposedly and he
Speaker 1: got arrested to see the on guns in his house,
Speaker 1: and he went in and they took him to jail
Speaker 1: and then under clever cop pretending he was an inmate,
Speaker 1: put him in the same sound to see if he
Speaker 1: could get information from him, you know, brought up every
Speaker 1: you know kime out and said, well, did you know,
Speaker 1: did you hear what happened to that girl? They said that,
Speaker 1: you know, to see if he would say anything, but
Speaker 1: he never commented nothing. They never got nothing out of him.
Speaker 1: Moses was taking notes the whole time, and after about
Speaker 1: an hour an hour and a half John's baby started
Speaker 1: to get fussy, and the family seemed pretty wiped and
Speaker 1: the meeting ended. And if you are thinking of reaching
Speaker 1: out to you at any point, don't hesitate you call them. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me a little pick up. I'll pick up my cat.
Speaker 1: I'll call you when I'm able to, because my knees
Speaker 1: didn't very busy sometimes. But on the way out, I
Speaker 1: caught up with Becky in the parking garage. I wanted
Speaker 1: to know how she felt. Did you feel like your
Speaker 1: expectations in the beginning changed over the course of the
Speaker 1: meeting or are either the same or hown't you know?
Speaker 1: My expectations are high. I love the way the detector
Speaker 1: talked to us. I love that he began with a prayer,
Speaker 1: thanking God like we should always. I felt that he's, uh, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, nice me you so you're welcome, thank you.
Speaker 1: I feel this sincecere in in his voice and his heart.
Speaker 1: After the family left, I asked Moses what he thought
Speaker 1: about what he heard in the meeting. After hearing them
Speaker 1: speak and giving me some insights as to what happened.
Speaker 1: I do believe there's additional investigation that needs to be conducted,
Speaker 1: such as interviewing ex boyfriends and someone who was considered
Speaker 1: a person of interest. Revisit that person because now things
Speaker 1: have changed and time has gone by, and sometimes people
Speaker 1: can't add things that maybe they were afraid to say
Speaker 1: back then. But now if this person's are reading cars,
Speaker 1: maybe he says, you know what, I I have anything else
Speaker 1: to gain or lose him, I would just tell the truth.
Speaker 1: Somebody out there has information about what happened to Emory
Speaker 1: that night. Somebody knows, somebody told someone, somebody confided in someone.
Speaker 1: Moses told me that he reached out to Assistant Chief
Speaker 1: Alfred Lebrata, who's part of Central Bureau where Emory's cases currently. Again,
Speaker 1: he's doing this pro bo. He says he's taken on
Speaker 1: a few cases since he retired from LAPD. The request
Speaker 1: I made to him was a request that he assigned
Speaker 1: a new set of detectives that would give it another look,
Speaker 1: and then also requested that those detectives meet with the
Speaker 1: family under what we call Marcy's Law, fit them build
Speaker 1: of rights. He asked LAPD to meet with the family
Speaker 1: and go over the case. Again. It's like this reminder
Speaker 1: to LAPD that someone is paying attention and also to
Speaker 1: get any more information that the family might not already have.
Speaker 1: If you remember, they told us that the case was
Speaker 1: fresh or active again, but they didn't clarify any more
Speaker 1: than that. And there used to be a fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars reward for any information in Emory's case. It was
Speaker 1: approved by La City Council in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, and then again in twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: but since then it's expired, so it's possible that the
Speaker 1: reward could get renewed again. And the family is also
Speaker 1: trying to raise awareness on Instagram. They made an account
Speaker 1: called Justice for Emery Munyos. And that's where we left
Speaker 1: off with the meeting. Hello, I think blame hi. How
Speaker 1: are you? When I got back from Peru after visiting
Speaker 1: my family for a few weeks, I called Becky and
Speaker 1: she gave me some news. M okay, yes, overwhelmed them.
Speaker 1: It seems like a lot kind of happens right in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Yeah, it did. That's after the break.
Speaker 1: Two weeks after Emory's family met in that conference room,
Speaker 1: I got on the phone with Becky who told me
Speaker 1: some news. They're happening, and that makes me feel good.
Speaker 1: It makes me feel nervous. LPD agreed to meet with
Speaker 1: a family. The former detective, Moses Castillo said that LPD
Speaker 1: had Emory's file and had been looking at it for
Speaker 1: a month and a half already, and so they're ready
Speaker 1: to meet with the family and they're ready to do
Speaker 1: it soon. This is big news. They haven't sat down
Speaker 1: with a detective in years, and when we started reporting
Speaker 1: the story, they were having trouble even finding the contact
Speaker 1: for her case since it's been passed around so much
Speaker 1: all emotions. Overwhelmed said, you know, all the things that
Speaker 1: happened sixteen years ago, are the feelings, the thoughts and
Speaker 1: everything come back, the emotions. But I'm glad you know
Speaker 1: this is happening. That I guess is normal for us
Speaker 1: to relive everything again. So but I'm glad they're happening,
Speaker 1: and so thank you. The family meets with LAPD on
Speaker 1: their own and then afterward we joined them. How did
Speaker 1: the how did the meeting go? So they said they're
Speaker 1: going to do everything they can, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna take a while on us as long as it's
Speaker 1: not sixteen more years. Do you remember the feeling in
Speaker 1: the room was it m was it just them talking
Speaker 1: or it was emotional. Yeah, it was emotional because I
Speaker 1: m I mentioned that all the detectives that she had,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, I don't feel like they care.
Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, I know, to you
Speaker 1: guys in new cases, just another number. And he's sitting
Speaker 1: on all of us. Maria, Emory's mom is in the room.
Speaker 1: It's the first time I'm meeting her. I can immediately
Speaker 1: see where Emory inherited her big brown eyes. I feel
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna get answers this time, I really do,
Speaker 1: you see. And we never got none of this before. Never,
Speaker 1: it was just like detectives. She wouldn't call. It even
Speaker 1: messages and they wouldn't call, and we've never gotten this far.
Speaker 1: They don't return calls, you any messages, and and then
Speaker 1: when you call, it's like, oh, everything's the same, like
Speaker 1: no big deal, you know, there's no leads. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: so it's like sometimes I used to tell her, why
Speaker 1: am I even gonna call? It's always the same thing, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: and it just like it gets a mad, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like it hurts. One of the reasons I was
Speaker 1: hesitant to do the series is that Inherently looking at
Speaker 1: someone's death means that the family has to revisit trauma,
Speaker 1: and it's not always clear if making families revisit the
Speaker 1: past is worth it. It hurts to know what they
Speaker 1: did to her, but I want to know what did
Speaker 1: to her. I need to know. It's like they just hurt.
Speaker 1: It brings anger to me because when they were picking
Speaker 1: her at the school, it's like I would go with
Speaker 1: her everywhere because she was afraid to go into the
Speaker 1: story wherever she wanted to go, and I was always
Speaker 1: going with her. I went to school, I sat with her,
Speaker 1: and it was like I protected her from nobody touching her.
Speaker 1: Now we get into arguments, you know, when moms, you know,
Speaker 1: to tell their daughter and name my z alone. And
Speaker 1: when they killed her, it's like I was like, may
Speaker 1: maybe I know she was yelling for me. I know
Speaker 1: she was. She needn't be the most. It wasn't there
Speaker 1: for her, and I would I need to know why.
Speaker 1: What was the reason, because because you didn't like her,
Speaker 1: did she do something that I don't know? And I
Speaker 1: just like I told a detective, you know, with God's help,
Speaker 1: when you guys find out, I don't give me names
Speaker 1: all to see faces. I believe that we're gonna get
Speaker 1: some answers. Now this is Emory's dad, We'll say again.
Speaker 1: Because when I when this happened, I used to go.
Speaker 1: I never called the LAPD. I just went down there.
Speaker 1: And that will just sent me in the room the
Speaker 1: first two times and leave me in there, you know,
Speaker 1: like if somebody's gonna come and talk to him. But
Speaker 1: they didn't, you know, so commanded. There's nothing to say
Speaker 1: because we haven't found out nothing. So I used to
Speaker 1: get mad, and I used to raise my voice out them,
Speaker 1: you know, and say, if you guys ain't gonna do anything,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something about it, you know, because I
Speaker 1: mean I looked for answers or I got up, you know,
Speaker 1: and I used to in other words, I was out there.
Speaker 1: It's homeless. Three years they where they found her, you know,
Speaker 1: and I was trying to find something, you know, and
Speaker 1: nothing and nothing, and I started drinking and I became
Speaker 1: an alcoholic for three years, you know, and all but
Speaker 1: I was always trying to do something, and I iced
Speaker 1: to go down to LAPD and just race. Somehow we
Speaker 1: did ask LAPD about this, and they acknowledged that Emory's
Speaker 1: case had gone through a lot of hands, but they
Speaker 1: said every time they receive a tip from them, they
Speaker 1: investigated it, and the detectives don't always share information because
Speaker 1: they don't want to give families false hope or compromise
Speaker 1: the investigation. While we were talking, there was a family
Speaker 1: album on the table and we were flipping through pictures
Speaker 1: of Emory with her siblings and every at them all,
Speaker 1: and then Maria told us a story about her. She
Speaker 1: used to talk my dad wish she's to him sugar daddy,
Speaker 1: Mama daddy, mister mister baby, she should call my dad.
Speaker 1: Mister baby was Emory's grandfather who has now passed away.
Speaker 1: She used to go and sit in my dad's lap,
Speaker 1: which mister mister baby. She says, you love me, and
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, she does. You want to buy me
Speaker 1: a pizza or where she wanted to go McDonald's. What
Speaker 1: do you want? You know? And they're like he was like, okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, order it whatever. But then he caught out
Speaker 1: and she's like, do you love me? He's like no,
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah you do, and she's like we're gonna
Speaker 1: get pizza, and I'm like, how do you do that
Speaker 1: what do you do? Yeah, doesn't she say? I have?
Speaker 1: I got it? Like that? I love hearing the story.
Speaker 1: It's like a little family inside joke, and Maria just
Speaker 1: lights up with a smile on her face. It meant
Speaker 1: a lot to hear Maria talk about emory outside of
Speaker 1: her murder case. A word that's been coming to mind
Speaker 1: is the sugar recently, especially in these times. I've heard
Speaker 1: this word a lot from my father when it comes
Speaker 1: to grief and pain. I don't know how to describe
Speaker 1: it in English. It's like when you're literally drowning in
Speaker 1: your emotions and you have to let it all out.
Speaker 1: You have to lighten the load, bent unburdening yourself. Even
Speaker 1: if it's not positive, it doesn't matter. Sometimes you just
Speaker 1: have to yell at someone or cry to find some
Speaker 1: way to keep going. Whatever happens with the investigation, which
Speaker 1: is now active. According to Lapd, at least the family
Speaker 1: had this moment to confront Lapd about how they were treated.
Speaker 1: To release, but to the sugar is also an act
Speaker 1: of survival, a way to cope when there isn't a solution,
Speaker 1: when the reality of the world is just too heavy
Speaker 1: to bear. But it's the world you have to live in,
Speaker 1: and in the absence of an answer, what I heard
Speaker 1: emerge in this intense conversation was a lot of guilt
Speaker 1: and blame, and I can't help but feel reminded of
Speaker 1: my own guilt, A guilt that I didn't feel when
Speaker 1: I was a kid sneaking out at night without my
Speaker 1: parents knowing, but as grown and groan since then, and
Speaker 1: that I think I finally understand. In our final episode,
Speaker 1: I talked to my mom and we follow up an
Speaker 1: emory story that's next time. This episode was written, reported,
