1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: What first attracted me to this beautiful girl just twenty

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: five years old, Stephanie Pars. It's her big smile. I

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: looked at all of her pictures and she has this

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: picture perfect smile. And then on top of her photo,

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: I kept seeing it said, gorgeous makeup artist twenty five

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: vanishes after a seance. And I've never heard such a

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: thing before. But when I hear the heartbreak and her parents' voices,

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: all I want to do is help find Stephanie. Crime

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. Paris lived in the house right

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: behind me. Her car is still in the driveway. Her

11
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: parents came over to this home and they found her

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: cell phone inside the living room. Now they're trying to

13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: hold out hope that she is still alive and know

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: that we will do everything we post we can to

15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: get you old. Her disappearance is a mystery. Stephanie Pars

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: was last seen around ten o'clock last Wednesday night, after

17
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: she spent a night out with family to see a

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: well known psychic in New Brunswick. The family came home

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: together and Stephanie added to the home she lives in

20
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: that was once owned by her maternal grandmother Stephanie's mother

21
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: and father have been waiting to hear from her after

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: she went missing without a trace. And we will see

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: you soon and we'd love you so much. Think about

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: what Daddy taught you to what I told you to do.

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: The weight is an emotional roller coaster, you know how you,

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: her parents said. The twenty five year old who loves

27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: art is a very independent person. Stephanie is also petit

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: in size, standing four ft eleven inches and weighing one

29
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen pounds. You are hearing our friend Anthony

Speaker 1: years old and had gone with her mom and some

43
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,240

Speaker 1: She talks to her mom, she kisses her to night,

49
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: she says goodbye. She goes to her house, as you said,

50
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: this was her maternal grandmother's house, and she sends a

51
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: snapchat photo on the way home, cute picture of herself.

52
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Gets home, nobody hears from her, but ten thirty at night,

53
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: she probably gets gone to bed. They can't find her.

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: They go over the next morning to the house because

55
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: no one has heard from her. She is not there.

56
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: They look for all of her things. They find the

57
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: cell phone, the one thing that he would keep with

64
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: When alexas Uress, Chuck says the phone her cell phone

65
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: was in the sofa, what do you mean by that?

66
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: It was actually on the side of the couch that

67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: we found it. When I was at the house looking

68
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: for her, I rang her phone and that's where her

69
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: sister found it, on the side of the couch, on

70
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: the floor or on a table or where on the

71
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: floor there was a bunch of blankets and stuff. I

72
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: don't know whether it just sell off the arm of

73
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: the chair, but we had to move some stuff to

74
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: get to it too. Jeff courtesy former FBI special agent Jeff.

75
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: That actually tells me a lot well. I also want

76
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: to know how it was positioned, But it seems that

77
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: she had come in and at least sat down on

78
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the sofa, or at least had that much time when

79
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: she got in hold on Jeff. Another question to sry

80
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: Lane was the house otherwise Nate or did it look

81
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: like there had been a struggle? Did it look like

82
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: anyone had broken in and ransacked. It was anything missing,

83
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: not that I could say everything was this normal. The

84
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: leftovers that she took home that night was left on

85
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: the piano. When we first walked in. I saw her

86
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: shoes and her leather jacket were on the on the

87
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: floor where the side of the couch where we found

88
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: her phone is where her phone charger is, so she

89
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: always sat on that side. Was it plugged in? No? No,

90
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: got another question. I just sounds silly, But Charline, what

91
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: were the leftovers that she had brought home? Where did

92
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: you guys go? What does she bring home? It was

93
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: just like chicken fingers on buffle fries and something that

94
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: she was just gonna it's you left over from the dinner,

95
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: but she was gonna take it for lunch the next

96
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: day to work. See right there, that tells me I

97
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: don't think she ever made it into the kitchen because

98
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: she's saying she sat it down. It was by the

99
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: front door. Is that what she said? It's in the

100
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: rambo where the front door is. Yes. However, every light

101
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: in the house was on, which was very strange. Every

102
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: light in the house is that single or two storied.

103
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: It's a ranch single ranch. Every light in the house

104
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: was on. That's not like her, right, because I'm telling

105
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: you have certain lights I leave on when I leave

106
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: and that's that. If anything else is left on, then

107
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: that was a mistake, right, even the one, even the

108
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: light going down to the base, down to the basement

109
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: was on and she would never go down that way. Okay,

110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: that's very odd in my mind. It was the front

111
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: door locked or unlocked? It was unlocked, but that's kind

112
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: of normal for her to have it unloved. Yeah, really, well,

113
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what at night, like when she goes

114
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: to bed, you know, but when she's home, you know,

115
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: she would keep it unloved. What about her vehicle that

116
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: was in the driveway locked unlocked? But she was she

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: driving the night before? Was she in the car with

118
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you guys? She drove to my house and then we

119
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: all took my vehicle, you know, to the show, and

120
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: then she took a vehicle home from my interesting and

121
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: to Edward pars this is Stephanie's dad. When you saw her,

122
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: what was her demeanor? Was she upbate, I can go

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: to the girls right now. I guess something the going

124
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: out and I'm trying to think we're looking. Take a

125
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: listen to our friend Matt Kozar at CBS to New

126
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: York your mind, just Race says, you don't know what's

127
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: happened to her? Where she is ed. Pars's oldest daughter

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: is missing, and he's doing everything in his power to

129
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: find her. It's not like her. She would call us,

130
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: she would text she could. According to her parents, Pars

131
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: stopped by their home in Freehold Wednesday night and left

132
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: around ten o'clock to drive five miles to her grandmother's house,

133
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: where they say she was staying. But when she didn't

134
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: show up to work the next morning, friends and family

135
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: knew something was wrong. Police saw patrolling the neighborhood where

136
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: she lived. Her parents say. Investigators found her car and

137
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: her cell phone at her grandmother's house. Everybody just helped

138
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: get it, you know, and get the word out and

139
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: please find her. You know, she's only four eleven. She

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: probably weighs like one hundred and ten hundred and fifteen pounds,

141
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and like, I just want her home. Volunteers have been

142
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: posting flyers with Pars's photo across downtown Freehold. Since then,

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: We've just been calling crazy, trying to contact everybody and

144
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: anybody that she knew and we know and everything, hospital wherever.

145
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: It is, just to see if we can locate her

146
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: and haven't had anything, no trace her at all. Her

147
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: family says Pars works as a nanny and a makeup artist.

148
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Detectives asked that you call them if you have any

149
00:08:49,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: information crime stories with Nancy Grace. Several searches are going

150
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: on today outside the police investigation, a community reaching out

151
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: to help a heartbroken family find answers to find their daughter.

152
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: My state of mind is just hopeful, okay, you know,

153
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's bittersweet. You want to find something, but

154
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to find something. It's hard to explain that.

155
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: You've got to really feel that. You know, if you

184

Speaker 1: begging for your help. So let me understand this. Charlene,

185
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: that night, she leaves your house in her car. And

186
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: just for our listeners, what kind of car was she driving?

187
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Nata wait de cool white Hunda Sonata? Yeah, okay, she

188
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: drives that home from your place to her place which

189
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: used to be your grandma's house. And how far away?

190
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Five miles away? And did you expect her to call

191
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: you when she got home? Yes, I told her to

192
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: call me or text me to let me know that

193
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: she got home. Okay, did she No? No, I didn't

194
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: hear from her. Does she normally do that when you

195
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: ask her? Oh? Yeah, oh definitely. And if and if

196
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: for some reason ends up falling asleep, you know, by like,

197
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, just a couple hours later, she's texting me,

198
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: sorry I fell asleep, you know, I'm okay, when did

199
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you become suspicious? Showing? Well? The next I called the

200
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: next day. I kept on calling that night or texting her,

201
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: and she didn't answer. So I thought that she did

202
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: fall asleep, and I texted her again like seven o'clock

203
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: in the morning. I also thought maybe her phone was

204
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: on silent because of the show, and that she never

205
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: put it back on ringer, So I called her when

206
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I thought that she was on her way to work,

207
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: so I figured her car phone would pick up if

208
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: her phone was on silent, And there was no answer,

209
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: and I kept on texting her and nothing, and she

210
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at work. So your husband and

211
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I took a ride over there and her car was

212
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: in the driveway. I quick ran in and that's when

213
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: I told all the lights were on. I know, went

214
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: room to room searching for her. I quick looked for

215
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: her phone and didn't find it. But my mom has

216
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: a three big dogs and she has a little tiny dog,

217
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and they were all locked in the house where they

218
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: normally have a doggy door where they could go out.

219
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: But when Stephanie has her little Yorkie out, she doesn't

220
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: want her to go out the doggy door because you know,

221
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: she's so tiny and fretu verge, you're gonna like pick

222
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: her up. So I mean I went back a couple

223
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: hours later. Okay, let me understand what that means right there.

224
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: That means something always I once proved a murder case,

225
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: but based on the location of an ear ring, and

226
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a long story, but every fact means something.

227
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: That left Diver's still in the entrance area, that the

228
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: phone by the sofa where she would typically charge it

229
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: and sit. I mean, I don't know about you guys

230
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: on the panel, and I guess I could ask her

231
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: a shrink Dodgor Daniel Bober about this. But I have

232
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: a spot I sit in our den. My daughter has

233
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: a to my right, my son has a spot to

234
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: my left, my husband has a spot when he's home.

235
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: And that's just I don't know why that is. Why

236
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: is that, doctor, Daniel Bober? It means something, I'm sure

237
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: and nobody, Hey, this is my spot. But even at

238
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: the supper table we sit in the same spot. What

239
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: does that mean? Bober? Well, there's always the first time

240
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: you sit in that spot. And I think once you

241
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: do it, enough time to develop a certain pattern in

242
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: a certain comfort zone. And that's kind of where you

243
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: just say because that's where you feel comfortable, and you know,

244
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: I know. Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor author, I've read flags, Wendy.

245
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: It's called behavioral evidence, or routine evidence. What that means

246
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: is you do the same thing. It's not like you're

247
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: antal compulsive. It's just you have a routine because that

248
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: is what suits you. For instance, the moment I walk

249
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: in the door, locked the door, and even when we're home,

250
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: turned on the alarm. It's ingrained in me. You just

251
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: do certain things by rote. And the fact that she

252
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: left food in the entrance area that she had, in

253
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: my mind made it to sit down on her sofa,

254
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: that means something to me. And the fact that she

255
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: didn't text back, that means something to me. I know

256
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy, Wendy, but even up when I was

257
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: still a prosecutor, you know, I was thirty, My mom

258
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: had to be at work really early in the morning,

259
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: like seven am. The moment she got there, as soon

260
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: we still had long distance phone calls and no cell phones.

261
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: She would call me on her as I think they

262
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: called it a Watts line, an eight hundred line, to

263
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: make sure at seven am that I was up and

264
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: leaving to get to court. And I mean still when

265
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm thirty, and if she didn't call me, I would

266
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: think something was wrong. It means something. Everything that Charlene

267
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: is telling us, every fact which may seem small to

268
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: other people means something. That's one of the reasons that

269
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Charlene you are an amazing witness because it is all

270
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: these little details. You know, we often hear the overused

271
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: phrase the devil is in the detail. Yet that's exactly

272
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: how we prove cases, as Nancy just stated, proving a

273
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: murder case based on the location of an earring. Not

274
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: only are we creatures of habit, but we're also creatures

275
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: of patterns, like doctor Bober was saying, patterns and comfort zone.

276
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: So when you think about the food in the entryway,

277
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: the cell phone near the sofa, how far did she

278
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: get before something happened that was out of the ordinary?

279
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, all of the lights on. That almost indicates

280
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: searching for something. That's the kind of thing you do

281
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: when something's gone missing. That's just one of the explanations,

282
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: but it gets us thinking as to what could it mean?

283
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: How far did she get? And Charlene, you also bring

284
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: up some very practical explanations. We run through all of

285
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the reasons that somebody might not be answering their phone,

286
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: maybe the batteries dead, maybe the ringers off, until we

287
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: just can't come up with any other explanations where you

288
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: moved on this right away. So my prayers are with

289
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: you and Edward and your whole family. The circumstantial evidence

290
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: you're describing is going to assist in solving this case.

291
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I want to pick up on something Wendy just said

292
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: to Arline and Edward. Trust me, I'm not ignoring you,

293
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: my most beloved person in the world up there with

294
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: my twins, my dad, and I know you love your

295
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: little girl so much. I got to ask Charline another

296
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: question about all those lights being on, because that's really

297
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: bothering me. When you said that. When you said those words,

298
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: I had chills go up both my arms. And when

299
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Wendy said looks like somebody who's looking for something, She's right.

300
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: Why would you go turn on every light in the house, Sharline,

301
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: That is a question that I've been asking myself because

302
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: she never had every single light on the house. She

303
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: would have to go over to the sliding door to

304
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: turn you know, to shut the doors to the dog

305
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: stump out the dog doggie door. But that is right

306
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: off the living room, which is right off the front door.

307
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Leaving the food on the piano, that would be stuff

308
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, that's kind of normal, like

309
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: she would do that, but not having her phone. One

310
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: thing I did realize, like when I started getting worried, Um,

311
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: I have a app on my phone that says find

312
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: my device, and she knows it and she likes that.

313
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I had that idea because if she ever lost her phone,

314
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: I was able to trace it. I did notice that

315
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: the location was off. However, her phone was at forty

316
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: four percent. When I checked it a couple hours later,

317
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: it only went down to thirty nine percent. And then

318
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: when we went back that evening when I actually found

319
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: her phone, it was down to thirty four percent. So

320
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: I knew that she was not on her phone all day.

321
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Otherwise it would have dreamed so much more stories with

322
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: Nancy Gray. Missing posters have been put up around the

323
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: town of Freehold, and family is standing by to get

324
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: any word on the whereabouts of Stephanie Pards. Hopefully she

325
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: sees this and you know every bit of penity that

326
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: she has to fight and to get hold of us.

327
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Friends and family have gathered around Stephanie's parents to give

328
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: them support. She comes from a very close knit family

329
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: who has become known in the area for their elaborate

330
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: holiday decorations. Her father would have begun setting up those

331
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: decorations this past weekend, but has been too distraught and

332
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: too worried about his daughter to think about a celebration.

333
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: She'd be try and reach us, not like her, not

334
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: the contact. Here are the missing posters or one of

335
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the missing posters that you can find around the town

336
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: of Freehold. She was last seen wearing blue jeans of

337
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: burgundy v neck and burgundy sweater. You're hearing our friend

338
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: ABC seven New York reporter Anthony Johnson and with me

339
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: Stephanie's parents, Edward and Charlene. Charlene, you were with her

340
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: the night before and they keep saying she went to

341
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: a seance. It was really more like a show. What

342
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: was the show and what was her demeanor there? Charlene, Yes,

343
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: it was a show. We actually went to a comedy

344
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: club up in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and there was

345
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: eight of us, her and her, all four of my

346
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: daughters when and it was a really good night. We

347
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: just had dinner. There was a medium there. However, it

348
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: was three hundred people in the audience, so it wasn't

349
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: something that was just going to be a one on

350
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: one reading with us, who was the medium, Cyndi Kaza.

351
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: So it was like a show, okay. A lot of

352
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: people were attaching significance that she went to a seance,

353
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: that she was trying to find out some question. But

354
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: that's not the case at all. It was a comedy club.

355
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: It was a show, okay. What was her demeanor? Very

356
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: very concerned about her demeanor. Oh, she was fine. I mean,

357
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: it was a she loved going out. We're always doing okay,

358
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: family binding time to the binding time, and it was

359
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: just a girl's night out. We had a great time.

360
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: To Edward pars this is Stephanie's dad joining us, asking

Speaker 1: two seven five hundred. Edward, tell me your recollections of

364
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: that evening and the next morning when you go over

365
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to Stephanie's home, what you observed, Like I said, I

366
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't see her when she left the house after they

367
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: came back from the show, And we went over the

368
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: house the next afternoon. Once we got to the house,

369
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: then after my wife, when in the house, couldn't find her,

370
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: came back out. She was a little nervous but it

371
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: looked like she had just left with somebody to go,

372
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: you know, to the store or something like that, because

373
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: locked in and stuff, and she would never leave them

374
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: walked in because they can't go to the bathroom. Rathing.

375
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: So we went to h doctors the point that I

376
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: had real quick and then I went back home. And

377
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: then a little while later, my wife and my other

378
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: daughter went back to the house. That's when they found

379
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: the still not there and they found the phone. At

380
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: that point, she let me know that she still wasn't

381
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: there and if they did point the phone and she

382
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: was looking at the phone and she saw a message

383
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: from her the parents of the little girl that she

384
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: watched is I'm saying that you know, she comes to

385
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: work today's making sure that he's okay. At that point,

386
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: I got extremely concerned. My wife got a little distraught.

387
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: M We started calling everybody and everybody she knew, all

388
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: of her friends, all friends that we knew that we

389
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: hadn't see if anybody knew her, called her, rest my

390
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: daughters and make sure they haven't heard from her. Some

391
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: family friends, nobody had seen or heard from her at all.

392
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: And then we just have to be exhausted that we decided,

393
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a call the police. Just not lakers,

394
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: just not shouldn't do that. You know, she's the homebody.

395
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: She lets un't know everything. Well, just started getting the fear,

396
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: just started sitting at that point. Let me ask you

397
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: a question. What have you learned, if anything, from police

398
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: regarding the last time her phone was used and what

399
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: if any text messages were on her phone? Well, the

400
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: police I really haven't given us so much information or

401
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: is the investigations concerned? Um? So I don't really know

402
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: it was on her phone or anything like that. Um,

403
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: they didn't know they had the phone, and you know

404
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: they they did the report that we made very very curiously. Really,

405
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: the ball started rolling the police officers got the house here. Um.

406
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of these police officers

407
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: and detectives personally, so you know, they took it the

408
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: heart immediately and they knew we weren't. It wasn't some

409
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of runaway or something like that. So. Um, but

410
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: as far as anything they found on the phone, well,

411
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: did you guys look at the phone's relase? Do you

412
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: you said that there were was a text from the

413
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: family with whom she worked where she was a nanny saying, hey,

414
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: where are you? Are you okay? Could you read her text? Now?

415
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: If she had a code on her phone and I

416
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get into it, which she had just

417
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: told me about what her code was like a month ago,

418
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: but I couldn't remember it. But I was able to

419
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: jop down the bar and was able to see that

420
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: one notification from the parents. But that was the only

421
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: thing I could say. So I actually ended up calling

422
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Verizon and explaining the situation that I needed to get

423
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: in the phone, but they said that I couldn't get

424
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: in the phone. The only thing I could do was

425
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: through a factory reset, but that would delete everything. Another

426
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: wrinkle in the case is we are now learning through

427
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: police sources that her stockbroker boyfriend sent her about ten

428
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: unanswered text messages and about not nine minutes the night

429
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: before she was discovered disappeared. It could very well have

430
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: been the night she disappeared, ending with curse words an

431
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: expletive laced message. I guess because she wasn't texting back

432
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: to Alexa's arrest, I can investigative reporter Radar online dot

433
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: com what have we learned from her cell phone regarding

434
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: those texts? What was the boyfriend saying? John Osbilt. According

435
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: to the police sources, he was harassing her. It was

436
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: a barrage of messages, so many of them, and she

437
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: was not answering. Now, this may have been they came

438
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: when she was in the wait wait and I see.

439
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: There's a big difference Alexis and him going, hey, where

440
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: are you? Why don't you call me? Why are you

441
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: annoying my calls? What's happening? That's one thing, and him

442
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: stalking her and you know, bombarding her with text messages

443
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: ten and nine minutes, that's a whole other thing. Right

444
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: that This wasn't hey, what are you doing? You want

445
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: to go to the movies? This was exactly tenant one

446
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: every minute, just where are you where? And they were

447
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: filled with curse words like as you said, swearing at her.

448
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: And so the police have said that you know, they've

449
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: discovered these messages, they were able to get the messages

450
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: from the phone, and that they know that he had

451
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: sent her so many harassing messages. Then another wrinkle in

452
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the case. Take a listen to Tony eight s ABC

453
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,399

454

00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: after she'd headed home after a night out with her family.

463
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say she had a domestic violence case against oz Belgian,

464
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: that this defendant was texting and Facebook messaging Stephane Parson.

465
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Eight before her, Jason hearing a domestic violence case against

466
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: his stockbroker boyfriend. Cops find child porn on his cell phone.

467
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Two searches were conducted by

468
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: law enforcement last week along a marsh land area on

469
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: Staten Island, near where oz Belgian once worked. Nothing was found.

470
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: Her father, ed Par says dozens of people will launch

471
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: a search for his daughter tomorrow and Thursday, led by

472
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: first responders in Freehold, in and around areas where tips

473
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: have come in. You don't know. That's the thing. He

474
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: unknown is what's driving us out of our minds. So

475
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: we're going to try and just check off the boxes.

476
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: The best weekend. In the meantime, Oz Belgian is now

477
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: a freeman. The only crime he's facing thus far is

478
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: third degree pornography charges free on bail. I mean, see Grace.

479
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: This is crime stories. While a twenty five year old

480
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: beauty Stephanie Pars is missing and her stalker boyfriend is

481
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: caught with child porn on his cell phone, he somehow

482
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: makes bond and then a torpedo to the case. This

483
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: is a startling development in the case of missing twenty

484
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: five year old Stephanie Pars, which brings investigators here to

485
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: the home of her ex boyfriend, who is found dead

486
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: and sources telling us it appears he took his own life.

487
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: In this photo from the Facebook page of the missing woman,

488
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: Stephanie Pars is at the beach with twenty nine year

489
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: old John Osbalgin, a stockbroker who police say sent ten angry,

490
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: unanswered texts to his former girlfriend the night before she

491
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: went missing. The Momouth prosecutor put out this message on

492
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: social media. John Oswilgin found deceased at his Freehold home

493
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: this morning. We do not believe his death was suspicious

494
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: At this time. Osbulgen was recently released from jail after

495
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: being charged with possession of child pornography. Investigation remains active.

496
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: More to follow. It's a complication for the Pars investigation

497
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: with no identified suspects and no sign of her. Pars,

498
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: a cosmetologist who also worked as a nanny, vanished after

499
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: a family outing to a comedy club in New Brunswick

500
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: on October thirtieth. At home is where the young woman's

501
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: car and cell phone were found, indicating she made it

502
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: back there before disappearing. This is almost too much to

503
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: take in. That is our friend Dave Carlin at CBS

504
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: to New York Alexi's terrestuck, so he is picked up

505
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: after cops find images of child porn on his cell phone.

506
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: This is a young, up and coming stockbreaker that had

507
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: been basically stalking Stephanie, harassing her, sending ten profanity laced

508
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: expletives and just nine handsome sl sing. How the hey

509
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: does he get out all bond while Stephanie's missing and

510
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: then goes hangs himself. How does that happen. Well, I'm

511
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: really actually stunded this to me, this this should have

512
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: been the police would sit him down, they would talk

513
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: to him, they would find Stephanie. He would tell them

514
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: and what he knows, and they would find her and

515
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: she would be home right now. So, but they were

516
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: only holding him on this child brun our recharge, which

517
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: to me is probably the worst charge out there. But

518
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: he made Bill Edward Pars and Charlene Pars with me.

519
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: These are Stephanie's parents. Every source I I've spoken with

520
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: or learned about says that he was released on bail.

521
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: But that's not correct, is it, Edward? No, that's incorrect.

522
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey has a bell or format, that's a point system.

523
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: It goes by the offenses that are committed in the charges.

524
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: And apparently, I mean you can go online and actually

525
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: look this up. A criminal actually going to line and

526
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: look this up and do the point system himself, and no,

527
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: he's going to get out of it. Commits a certain crument.

528
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: So according to the point system, even though the prosecutors

529
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: had a case and it made their case very well,

530
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: the judge had no choice point to release him. There's

531
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: no monetary bail or anything like that that was that

532
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: was taken understanding, is Patrick, California Prosecutor. That's just my

533
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: boggling to me that on child porn charges you would

534
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: grid out without relieving putting up any bond. Yeah, you know, Nancy,

535
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: it's frustrating across the country that we do have systems

536
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: that basically assign levels of bail. I'm going to use

537
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: that word loosely, whether you call it a point system

538
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: or money or wherever have you, depending on the level

539
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: of the crime. And one of the things we've seen

540
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: across the country is that seems to just be getting

541
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: more lenient in many areas. So it is so frustrating,

542
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: particularly in a case like this where somebody is released

543
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: who's unders fishing for something else, to see how easy

544
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: it is sometimes to get out when, as you say,

545
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: crimes can be particularly despicable, and you know, images on

546
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: somebody's phone. You know, we need to know more obviously

547
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: about exactly what they were to decide what charges they

548
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: would they would merit. But still, when you look at

549
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: these points from the beginning, as Edward was saying, knowing

550
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of time knowing what Edward knew

551
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: about this man or at least had the bad feelings

552
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: that both he and Charlene had. That's especially troubling. Either

553
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: knowing something about Stephanie's disappearance or Big busted on child porn.

554
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: He would definitely lose his stockbroker's license, his life as

555
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: he knew it would be over. I want to go

556
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: to Charlene and Edward Parr's Stephanie's parents. First of all, Edward,

557
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: did you know about her relationship with twenty nine year

558
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: old John Osbill Ginning? Yeah? I knew seeing him on

559
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: him officer about two months. What did you think of him?

560
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Had you ever met him? I only met him briefly twice.

561
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: We went on a rafting trip in Rafting trivery year

562
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: the family. Um, there's fifty sixty people airing. He was

563
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: in a different boat, so I met him all goodbye. UM.

564
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Weird feeling about him when I met him,

565
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: but that's just normal feal goad and a new boyfriend. UM.

566
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: The only other time I met him. What about you, Charlene?

567
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: What was your take on os Bilgan? I didn't care

568
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: from from the beginning. There was just something that bothered me. Um.

569
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm always analyzing. I have four girls. So I'm always

570
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: you know, checking the new boyfriends that come in, and

571
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, and Stephanie's always you know, she had somebody over,

572
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: I guess opinions and stuff. And he was just very unsociable,

573
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, never spoke um even you know, her friends

574
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: didn't care for him. Um. And I guess every time

575
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: he talked apparently of what the friend said, it was

576
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: like more like a cold joke that he would do

577
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: instead of like a conversation. Um. But no, I had

578
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: just I had just told Stephanie um on Yeah, the

579
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: monday before she went missing, I had asked her what

580
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: was the what was going on with her and John?

581
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: And um, you know, she had said to me that

582
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: it's complicated. She says, uh, like I almost completely broke

583
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: it off with him. Yeah, two days ago, she says,

584
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: But um, I'll go back to like when we first

585
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: started dating and it's so nice and then he just

586
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: reeled me back in and then you know, it gets

587
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: bad again. Then he reeled me back in and he says,

588
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: it's hard to get away from him. Yeah. But I

589
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: had told her that because he had hit her three other,

590
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, three times, that he was never going to

591
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: be accepted his family. There would be no holidays, no

592
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: family gather at the gatherings, no wedding, no nothing. And

593
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, it just seemed like she was just trying

594
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: to end it with him. You know, um, I'm just thinking, sorry,

595
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: what had happened in their relationship? Things have become so

596
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: bad between them that Stephanie had filed on a saw

597
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: domestic violence complaint against him in September and very disturbing

598
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: to Jeff Cortesi, former FBI special agent. You can find

599
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: him at Jeff Cortesi dot com. While investigating Stephanie's disappearance,

600
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: detectives noticed marks around his neck. What do you make

601
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: of that, Jeff? You know, before any of this information

602
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: that we've discussed today, you know, the first place that

603
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: law enforcement is going to be looking in a missing

604
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: person case is the person closest to the person missing,

605
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a husband or boyfriend. And then, you know,

606
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: after hearing all of this other information, you can't help

607
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: but raise your eyebrows even more. Obviously when you see

608
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: physical violence or physical marks on somebody, you know, sometimes

609
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: you can it suggests obviously that an altercation maybe between

610
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: two people. You know, there are other excuses but in

611
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: a situation like this, given this circumstances, the marks on

612
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: his body would be significant um to questioning. I'm very

613
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: curious to doctor Daniel Bober and m D as well

614
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: as a forensic psychiatrist, whether they performed any kind of

615
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: DNA test on those marks. What do you think, Bober?

616
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: Very hard to say, but certainly would be helpful information.

617
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: Edward pars what do you know if anything about DNA

618
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: testing on oz bilgen they also did. They also did

619
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: dom also did do DNA testing of the stratted arms,

620
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: neck and complete uh, forensic screening of himself, the whole person.

621
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: So they did that. What did they find, if anything, Well,

622
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: it was after the fact though it was kind of

623
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: hard to find any usable DNA or anything like that,

624
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: so they really didn't. They did find the next scratches

625
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: cratched in the neck, but the rest and apparently it

626
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: was clear it was watch on his legs and we know,

627
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just thinking through what we know so far,

628
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: it could be taken so many different ways, doctor Bober,

629
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: that he goes home, he gets out on bail, which

630
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: was just I don't know what judge would have done that.

631
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: But he gets out on bill and goes home and

632
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: hangs himself. Some would say that's evidence of guilt. Some

633
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: would say he was ashamed of the charge getting busted

634
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: on child porn on his cell phone. Doctor Bober. Yeah,

635
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: maybe he couldn't even handle the pressure or the prospect

636
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: of being charged. And I see this a lot in

637
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: cases that I'm involved in, where someone will take their

638
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: own life just the appearance of impropriety without even being charged.

639
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: But also in addition to the child porn, we know

640
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: that there were at least nine images of children as

641
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: young as three being sex abused on his phone. We

642
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: know that he would be facing about five years behind

643
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: bars on that, but the fact that she had taken

644
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: out about an assault charge on him. We know that

645
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: two electronic devices were seized, but would not clarify whether

646
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 1: they were seized in relation to Stephanie's case. UM trying
