00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: looks very sweet. The other male hits Darien in the head.

Speaker 1: truck and start making comments about how pretty Malia is,

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: in his little boy in the dead of the truck,

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: and at some point they end up driving back to

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: where they hit him in the head and dropping him

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480

00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Highway six near the Sugarland Mall, his one year old

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: son with him, but no Malia. He tells police he

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: tried to flag down cars for help but had no luck.

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Just before eleven pm is when police say he made

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: it to Methodist Hospital, less than a mile from where

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: he says he was dropped off. We're looking for it.

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: We're hoping the public and years any information about anybody

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: who has seen Darien during that period of time, because

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't really know where he was or what's going

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: on there. Anybody who's seen the vehicle, the silver Nissan Darion.

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Vence told investigators he was driving to Bush Intercontinental Airport

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: to pick up Malia's mom. Vence says Malia and his

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: two year old son were in the car while near

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Highway fifty nine in Green's Road. Vince told police he

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: heard a noise and pulled over to check his tire.

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: While outside the car, he says two men pulled up

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: in a blue Chevy pickup. One of them makes a

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: comment saying that Malia looks very nice, looks very sweet.

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Then says one of the men hit him in the

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: head and he lost consciousness. Friday night, Malia's mother had

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: to call someone else to pick her up. When Vince

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: and the children never showed up sometime between Friday night

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: or Saturday. Vin says he woke up and was in

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: the back of the pickup with both children, but three

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: men were also in the car. He told police he

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: passed out again and woke up at six pm Saturday

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: near Highway six and fifty nine in Sugarland. His son

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: was with him, Malia was gone. So mysteriously, He's got

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: his own biological son, but his stepdaughter, Malia Davis, a

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: four year old, beautiful old girl, is missing. Here's khoutv

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Vince says he walked down the road to Methodist Hospital,

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: where he was treated for a head injury, and reported

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Malia missing, nearly twenty four hours after the alleged assault

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: that left Vince unconscious. I realize there's a lot of

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: blanks in that story, but we're open on the public

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: can filling the blanks. Sunday morning, Malia's case became an

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Amber alert. That afternoon, traffic cameras spotted Vince's silver car

76
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: in sugar Land near where the family and friends handed

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: out flyers, followed by search and recovery groups starting their work.

78
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: Monday morning. KTRKTV Steve Campion talking with a victims hero

79
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: Texas Equi Search Tim Miller. Within the last ninety minutes,

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: the search for Malia Davis shifted more than thirty miles

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: away to southwest Houston, near Kirkwood and Bissonnatna. We are

82
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: in trouble. Bottom line, we're in trouble. I've had of course,

83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: I believe in miracles, and we've hadden many of them.

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to have a good ending.

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I hope we have an enemy. The group helping Houston

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: police look for the missing four year old girl is

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: Texas Equi Search. Their leader, Tim Miller, says they repositioned

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: close to where the stepfather, Darion Vince calls home. We

89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: hope Mark calls come in as leading us in different corrections.

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: We hope the investigation is going to lead us, sir,

91
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's so it's all about her and joining me

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: right now, the founder and director of Texas Equisearch, Tim Miller.

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Tim Miller, it doesn't make sense to me. You and

94
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I've talked quite a bit about this particular case, Malia's disappearance.

95
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: You're telling me and you've been on the ground, looking

96
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: in the air, looking with dogs, looking for Maliah, that

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: they you seem to suggest to me that they take

98
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: the three Hispanic mills, take dear Vince in a big

99
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: loop and then bring him right back to where they

100
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: attacked him. Yeah, I bring him right back. And he's

101
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: at the corner fifty nine and Highway six, which is

102
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: a very busious intersection in sugar Land, trying to flag

103
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: somebody down. And he claims he walked to the hospital.

104
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: But you know, we've got a little hole in that

105
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: story to his vehicle that dropped him off at the hospital. Okay, whoa, whoa,

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: whoa whoa Wait, wait, way, wait a minute, Tim Miller,

107
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: he said nobody would help him. He had his son.

108
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: You can see the hospital video of him walking in

109
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: with the one year old son. What did you just

110
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: say about a car dropping him off? Hey, car dropped

111
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: him off? That certainly resembles the car that supposedly was

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: missing and then found. That's Thursday. And actually when they

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: interviewed his brother Joe, they asked, Joe, can you explain

114
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: why he was dropped off in his vehico and his

115
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: brother Joe says, well, I'm just not going to comment

116
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: on that right now, So I guess they gave him

117
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: his car back. I'm not really sure, You mean the

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: perpetrators that take for your old Maliah and dud. God

119
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: only knows what with her, drop him off, give him

120
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: curb service to John Cardillo joining me former NYPD John Cardillo.

121
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Outside of emergency rooms and hospitals, there is almost always

122
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: video surveillance cameras. Why because a lot of crimes are

123
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: solved at emergency rooms in hospital people being dropped off

124
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: by fellow gang members after a shooting. You want to

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: get that license plate number, But for this kind of

126
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: material evidence, right a vehicle that that a potential suspect

127
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: said might have been somewhere else caught on that camera,

128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: I would suspect this story has so many holes in

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: it that if I were the investigator on this case,

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I would have this guy in an interrogation room night

131
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: and day until we figured out what happened here. Man,

132
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: his story stinks, Tim Miller, tell me what you have

133
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: been doing to find Melia if you can fit it

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: all in. Oh God, we have searched everywhere that we

135
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: know where to search, starting out where he claims this happened,

136
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: moved down by his a parliament went to sugar Land,

137
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: starf to sugar Land. We actually meant was postal inspectors,

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: which he did have a mail route down in the

139
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: Rosharan area. We got to wait. Let me stop you

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: right there, Tim Miller. You know I get carried away

141
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: and I break in. I know it's true, but I've

142
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: just got to stop you right now, because, as you know,

143
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Darry and Vince, the stepfather's father, is stating that's not true.

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: His son did not have a mail route. That that's

145
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: all fabricated by the corps. As a matter of fact,

146
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: listen to stepfather, Darry and Vince's father, when he went

147
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: out that first night to look for Malia, he got

148
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: mobs and then he didn't Yeah, and then he didn't understand.

149
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: He didn't trust her or her baby father because they

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: came to him a real crazy. Vince also claims blood

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 1: tied to Malia founded his son's apartment hallway and bathroom

152
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: and used to justify Darien's arrest came from another child.

153
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: It's her brother's blood from his tooth breasts. Detectives insist

154
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: they tested for family DNA and stand by their warrant.

155
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: They also stand by last week's search of a field

156
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: along Darien's old post office route never worked them on

157
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: a post ever in his life. But Darien's dad says

158
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: the sign worked just three days for the post office

159
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: through a tim service and never had one. You're hearing

160
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: our friends at Khou, Tim Miller, you hear his bio

161
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: dad saying that's not true. It's all a big lie.

162
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Tell me how you verified he did have a mail route.

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: We actually met was two postal inspectors that came out there.

164
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: They gave us his mail route exactly where he delivered mail,

165
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and every said that he was a head nearly a year.

166
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: So we didn't not direct from a postal inspectors. So

167
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that they are sabricating this story. I

168
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: find it very difficult to believe to doctor Brian Russell, psychologist, lawyer,

169
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: post of Fatal Vows Hit series on investigation, Discovery, and

170
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: author that a postal inspector is gonna lie to Tim

171
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: Miller about Darien Vince working there. What he doesn't have

172
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: a dog in the fight, He's got no skin in

173
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the game. Why would he lie to Tim Miller? Yeah?

174
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I agree, he wouldn't you know. As soon as I

175
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: heard about this, it gave me shades of Susan Smith,

176
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: remember her the woman, Yeah, I remember her. Yeah. So

177
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: bottom line, Tim Miller, when you approach the postial inspector

178
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: and you go, did darry In Vince ever work for you?

179
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: Did you show him a picture? You sure he knew

180
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: who dry In Vince is? He knew exactly who he was.

181
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: And then we actually talked to somebody at the post

182
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: office and they said that they terminated him because he

183
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: just liked to hang out and smoke cigarettes more than

184
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: concentrate on his job. So, you know, it's pretty apparent

185
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: that everybody in this family is not capable of telling

186
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the truth, and there's only one person that can tell

187
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the truth. And unfortunately weaken enough behind her crime stories

188
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace never worked them on a post route

189
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: ever in his life. There you hear the stepfather, Darien

190
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: Vince's father, Joe Vince, denying his son even ever worked

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: as a mail carrier. Why is that significant that he

192
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: did work as a mail carrier for well over a year?

193
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Tim Miller joining me, founder director of Texas Equisearch. When

194
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: a child goes missing, you know Tim Miller will show

195
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: up with all of his forces. I'm talking horseback ATVs

196
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: air search as cadaver dogs sent dogs. Somehow he assembles

197
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: them all. Tim Miller, why is it so significant that

198
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: we nailed down the truth about this mail route? Well,

199
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I think we nailed it down from the postal inspectors

200
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: and him, and besides that, Nancy quin Lex called me

201
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: up and he was actually with Brittany, and I told

202
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: quin Eli, said, Quinnell, and this is before we went

203
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: with Postal inspectors. Cornel, we understand that he had a

204
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: male route down in the Roe Sharon area and he

205
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: was actually west Brittany. So he asked Brittany if he

206
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: had a mail route, and Brittany said, yeah, he had

207
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: a male route. And so I asked Cornell, I said,

208
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: asked her he knows the route that he had that

209
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: scen area. I think we want to start searching. And

210
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: she said that she did not know the route that

211
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: he had, but one of her girlfriends actually rode with

212
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: him one time on the route. So he would get

213
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: with that girlfriend to if he remembered the route. And

214
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: then we got with the post office and then watch

215
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: Andy gout with a postal inspectors. So according to Brittany,

216
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: yes he had a mail route. According to the postal inspectors,

217
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: yes he had a mail route, so apparently n didn't

218
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: know what was going on in his son's life. The

219
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: significance of the stepdad having a male route, John Cardillo

220
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: from an NYPD, Why is it so important? Well, it

221
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: goes to credibility. I mean, if everybody's lying about it,

222
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: you know what? Cardillo no, because that mail route takes

223
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: him all the way through the swampy or wooded areas

224
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: in rochharon as to hide a body. Hello, quing ang

225
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: with myself. Somebody helped me. Well, what I'm saying is

226
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: but you gotta start somewhere, right, So first it goes

227
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: to credibility. You were a prosecutor, you need probable cause.

228
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: You might have to get a warrant. If in those

229
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: desolate areas there's a mini storage facility where you find

230
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: that on his mail route he paid for cash at

231
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: a mini storage, Well, then you're gonna need a warrant

232
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: to be able to crack that lock open to use

233
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: those bolt cutters. So first you got to start with

234
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: his credibility. That's a pretty bold and egregious lie that

235
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: he claimed that he didn't have a job, and his

236
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: family's claiming he didn't have a job, that he did

237
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: then you do what, Tim, did you go along that route,

238
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: which I suspect investigators are doing now because there was

239
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: very telling language and a clip you played. He's being

240
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: charged with tampering with a core. So they're running on

241
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: the premise that the little girl is now deceased. Investigators

242
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: are going to go through every inch of that mail route.

243
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: They're going to look for those deserted areas. They're going

244
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: to look for those mini storage facilities, abandoned warehouses, abandoned buildings.

245
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: But if there's anything locked, you need a warrant. So

246
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: you got to start with this credibright And that's why

247
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: I started there, Tim Miller, he's got a good point.

248
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Tell me, but what you found on the mail route? Oh,

249
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: we found many, many isolated areas, and we've searched him

250
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: some on we have to search again because unfortunately, after

251
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Lonely disappeared, we had a tremendous amount of rain. Some

252
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: areas we could not get to. And you know the

253
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: other thing is that we know when he's left he

254
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: had that bloom closed basket with a garbage bag in

255
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: it that we feel as though that was there. And

256
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: then we've got the vehicle located we're closed. Basket was

257
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: still in a new gas can, Lee Egan. Tim Miller

258
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: is talking about a blue closed basket and a plastic bag.

259
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Let's just go back now off the mail route and

260
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: to the apartment. Tell me what happened, okay, May third,

261
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: he was seeing he was seen by himself walking out

262
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: of his apartment holding a blue clothes basket. Inside the

263
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: basket was a large black trash bag and according to

264
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: what police said, the way he was walking made it

265
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: seem like he was carrying something pretty heavy in that bag.

266
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Take a listen to this, police said. The defendant told

267
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: them that there should not be any blood in his apartment.

268
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: The officer reviewed video surveillance then from the porch of

269
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the neighbor's apartment next to the defense apartment, and the

270
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: footage showed that on at one forty pm on Friday,

271
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: made a third that they recognized the defendant carrying out

272
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: from the apartment outside the apartment from inside to outside

273
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: a large blue laundry basket with a large black trash

274
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: bag inside that it seemed to walk out of the

275
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: camera's view and then return about three minutes later without

276
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: the basket. He's that observed walking out of the apartment

277
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: with cleaning supplies, including bleach. They did not do the

278
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: complainant ever leaving the apartment. They did see the defendant

279
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: leave later with only his two year old son from

280
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: the apartment. Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EQUA

281
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: search where did that basket, That blue laundry basket turnout

282
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: turned up in the trunk of a car of b

283
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: car along with a brand new gas came in it

284
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: that he had just a smidget of gas. So of

285
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: course when I was flying then lay was searching and

286
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: one of the things we're looking for was any areas

287
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: that looked like it was burned. It's we feel as

288
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: out now that's very possible that he burned that little body.

289
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Take a listen to law enforcement now. On Friday made

290
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: a tenth the silver Nissan Ultima driven by the defendant

291
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: was process for evidence that there was a blue laundry

292
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: basket seller in parents to the blue laundry basket that

293
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: he's observed on the video surveillance carrying out of the

294
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: department on the night of the third. There were canine

295
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: dogs that were trained to sniff the scent of a

296
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: cadaver that walked around the vehicle and other vehicles in

297
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: the parking lot, and both of the dogs reacted to

298
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: the trunk of the silver Nissan that the defendant had

299
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: driven and that the blue laundry basket was recovered from,

300
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: indicating that the dogs were responding to the scent of

301
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: decomposition unity composition in the vehicle. Now they looked high

302
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: and low for the car before it was found. Even

303
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: the evidence surrounding the car doesn't make any sense. Dearian

304
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: Van says he was attacked when he got out of

305
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the car with a flat tire. The car turns up

306
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: alone and abandoned a parking lot, But as Tim Miller

307
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: pointed out to you, hospital surveillance shows the step dad

308
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: was dropped off in the very same car. Listen to

309
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Detective Ken in Free Asia. Well, we've had a bowl

310
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: out on the car, hoping we'd find him with it.

311
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: We've obviously found the car, but yeah, we're still looking

312
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: for him right now. The car looks fine. The car.

313
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: Everything looks normal on the car. The tires look look okay,

314
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they weren't changed at some point. I don't know.

315
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't have anything on that really citizens solid car

316
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: called the local PD Missouri City or Sugar I think

317
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: it was Misisters City. They contacted us and we came

318
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: out here. We looked inside. We haven't done any any

319
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: searching for anything. If we just took a glance inside

320
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: because it was bright. The winners are semi tenant, and everything,

321
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: like I said, looked normal, like a normal call. The

322
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: trunk looks harmalt him? Did I see the keys in

323
00:18:48,040 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: the car? Crime stories with Nancy Grace? Are you worried

324
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: that you can't find this man? If he considered the

325
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: person adventus, I would like to talk to him to

326
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: bed right now. UM, I'm not concerned that we haven't

327
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: found him. We're not. No, I'm not concerned about that

328
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: that saw him. You think you would think that if

329
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: you know your loved one is missing, that you would

330
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: be coming forward. And so he may have a legitimate reason.

331
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: I haven't spoken with him right now. We're still trying

332
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: to pull that and see what the angles of the

333
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: cameras are. UM. I have not personally viewed those. So UM.

334
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: That's we have officers in these in these businesses looking

335
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: at see there's any cameras focused on the parking lot,

336
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: and of course if there is, we're gonna backtrack and

337
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: get everything we can. I can't speak. The trunks just

338
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: miscellaneous clothes, papers, It's clean car, is there? Till yeah,

339
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: I think I can believe us. I'll want to know you. Wow,

340
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Detective Ken Vijia at oppressor. I Nancy Grace is his

341
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: crime stories. Thank you for being with us. Where is

342
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: four year old Malia Davis? As the trail gone cold?

343
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: With me? Tim Miller, Founder director of Texas Equisurch. You

344
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: just heard the detective say that the car looked normal,

345
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: But that's not what your cadaver dog said. Uh No,

346
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: cadaver dogs actually alerted on the trunk of the car.

347
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: Now and your expertise, Tim Miller. I've worked with a

348
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of cadaver dogs as recently as last week. There

349
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: are many ways of a learning. They may sit down

350
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: when they smell something. They may start barking and growling

351
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: and scratching in a particular spot. They have different ways

352
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: of a learning. But you're telling me, Tim Miller, you

353
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: know for a fact cadaver were dogs hit on Darry

354
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: and Vince's car. That is the information I got from

355
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: homicide investigators. Wow, yeah that is I wasn't there, but yes,

356
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: that's the information that I got from homocide, Lee Egan.

357
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: That is a major that changes the entire focus of

358
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: this investigation. And another thing, Hold on, Lee, let me

359
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: go to doctor Brian Russell, psychologist, lawyer, host of Fatal

360
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: Vows On Investigation, Discovery, author, Stop Moaning start owning on Amazon,

361
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Brian, Why didn't he go straight to police after

362
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: his pit stop at the hospital. Did you hear the

363
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: detectives saying, yeah, I'd like to talk to the stepfather,

364
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Darry and Vince. We haven't found him. Why wasn't he

365
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: at the police station lying on the front steps screaming

366
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: where is my stepdaughter? Well? Exactly, it's one of those

367
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: those situations where it doesn't take a PhD to think

368
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: about what would I do if I were truly in

369
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: the situation that he says he was in too. John Cardillo,

370
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: former NYPD, what do you make of what Miller is

371
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: telling you? Well, I've learned a long time ago, don't

372
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: second guess the dogs. These dogs typically when they hit

373
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: on something. And if homicide investigators are going to be

374
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: comfortable enough saying the cadaver dogs hit, then those dogs

375
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: hit on something. And now this investigation is taking a

376
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: considerably different turn. This is going to be a recovery

377
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: and I believe a homicide investigation at this point. You know,

378
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: you've looked everywhere to Miller, even at a haunted house

379
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: out in Rosher in Texas. Why at a haunted house,

380
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like a Halloween haunted house. Well,

381
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: that area was actually very very close to his Male

382
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: routes famous where it's a lot of property out there.

383
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: You can drive in many areas and it's very isolated,

384
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 1: and Summer was an area we felt a though that

385
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: that we've had to eliminate were I've got a couple

386
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: of people out today. We're getting some calls in that

387
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: feel as though that they've seen a vehicle like that.

388
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: So even though we don't have a big search going on,

389
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: we are every day have people out there that's driving

390
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: looking at areas, following these leads how to talk with

391
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: homicide at least twice a day, and uh, you know

392
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: the unfortunately, you know, I'm almost at that point of thinking,

393
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: possibly this is a little girl. It's never going to

394
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: be found. We know where she's not, and we just

395
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: hope that one what comes in, that one call comes

396
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: in and we can get a little body located. Tell

397
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: me why you believe Malia's body was burned. Well, I

398
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: think every indication is there. I mean, everything's been alive

399
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: from the beginning, seeing him go out with a closed

400
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: basket with a good you know, the blood in the apartment.

401
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: You know, things just don't add up. But you know,

402
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: we're not. I think the biggest miracle that we can

403
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: hope for is to find that little body. And of

404
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: course I'm getting crucified because people were saying and THEO.

405
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, you had over four thousand people in the

406
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: search for little Kayley Anthony. Because this is a little

407
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: black girl, you kind of halfway suspended it. But we've

408
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: got to remember on Casey Anthony, we had phone things

409
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: that was going all over the place for you know,

410
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: thirty plus days, and we had things to do. We

411
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: don't have anything on this stance. We don't have anything,

412
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: so we can't see the arrow in the sky and

413
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: where it comes down. Start searching. Take a listen thoughts

414
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: for Houston police, who refused to say whether they believe

415
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: twenty six year old Darien Vince killed Malia Davis. He

416
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: is charged with tampering with evidence, specifically a human body

417
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: A prosecutor says trained dogs detected the scent of human

418
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: decomposition in Vince's vehicle, and blood evidence matching the four

419
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: year old girl was found in his apartment. Vince told

420
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: police on May fourth, the men in a truck abducted him,

421
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Malia and his two year old son, and that these

422
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: men had freed him and the boy. On Sunday, a

423
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: crowd of more than a hundred people gathered near Malia's

424
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: home to express their concern about the girl's disappearance. Some parade.

425
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: Everybody wants the truth. We all want the truth, you know,

426
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: like they say the truitht you know? Or is she?

427
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: Or is she? So we could lare to rest you.

428
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Police have said they do not believe Malia is still alive.

429
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: They also say Darien Vince, the suspect, could face additional charges,

430
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: including murder. To Lee Egan joining me Crime Online dot

431
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Com investigative reporter, this is leading me to the apartment itself.

432
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: What do we know about the apartment? Darian Vince, a

433
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: stepdad share with Malia Davis four year old little girl,

434
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: his bioson between one and two years old, and the mom,

435
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: Britney Bowen. Well, if they shared an apartment together in

436
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Southwest Houston. It is a first floor apartment and it's

437
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: facing away either the security camera, you can see the apartment.

438
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: There's only one way out of that apartment for all

439
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: of them unless you go through a bedroom door window.

440
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: So they all showed the apartment together. And then within

441
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: a few days after Malia went missing disappeared, police did

442
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: go to that apartment and they did, you know, did

443
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: a thorough investigation, and they did find blood evidence inside

444
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: the apartment that they matched back to Malia through her DNA,

445
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: through her tooth fresh too. John Cardillo, former NYPD I'm

446
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: surprised they waited days after her disappearance to process it.

447
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: But the reality is it doesn't matter because they found

448
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: blood evidence, blood that links back to Malia Davis. They

449
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: found the blood evidence, they now have the forensic evidence.

450
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: And going back to Tim's point, I think Tim is right,

451
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: and I understand why he's so frustrated because episearch has

452
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: had such tremendous success. The I feel the only way

453
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna find out what truly happened to this little

454
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: girl is through exhaustive, exhaustive interrogation of this guy. And

455
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: I suspect. Investigators have him in a room pretty much

456
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: every waking moment and beyond. You want him exhausted, You

457
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: want him hungry, You want him thirsty, You want him

458
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: essentially begging for a coke and a big mac. So

459
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: he'll give you something that'll indicate where you can find

460
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: this little girl's remains. Take a listen to Canal X.

461
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Many people did not know that he had dismembered this

462
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: beautiful baby. You said that in the interview. What makes

463
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: what makes you say that is what information are you

464
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: hearing then to say that, well, there was blood splatter

465
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: evidence in the apartment. There was luinar spray and chemical

466
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: spray that was all over the apartment after homicide investigators left.

467
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: When you look at the video, the video footage extensively,

468
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: you can tell what was going on, and you could

469
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: tell he made two trips to buy big bottles of bleach.

470
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: This was a man who never cleaned the house of eva,

471
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: but he's buying big bottles of bleach, getting a big

472
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: garbage back, and there's blood splatter, et cetera around a

473
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: drainage area of the house. Why would human body tissue

474
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: be in a draining system? Why would human body tissue

475
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: be in the pipes under the sink, in the pipes

476
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: under the bathtub. Why would that be? Why would that

477
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: be human body tissue found around? Increases in crux of

478
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: the balthe crime stories with Nancy Grace the courthouse, people

479
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: directed their anger towards Malia's mother, All eyes on Brittany

480
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Bowen's as she walked down the hall, non saying a word. Vince,

481
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: her ex fiance, did not appear. Critics questioning why she

482
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: would leave her little girl with a man she says

483
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: was dangerous. You have so many holes in your story.

484
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't believe you at all. I don't believe you.

485
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: I will never believe you. You're just as guilty as him.

486
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: She needs to be locked up along with him. She

487
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: deserves to be locked up because that's not a real mother.

488
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: A real mother would protect their child at enemies necessary,

489
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: and she didn't do that. There are twenty eight hours

490
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: from a third to a fourth events is unaccounted for.

491
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: According to police, they believe he used that time to

492
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: dispose of the little girl's body, and all of this

493
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: as her mother was out of town. As parents, we

494
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta be much wiser, you know, offered the paper. Whole

495
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: week shoals to put it in, you know, around our kids.

496
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: That is ABC thirteen Jessica Willie covering a protest at

497
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: the courthouse. Now, people lashing out not only at stepfather

498
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Dairy and Vince, as Tim Miller of Texas Sequal Search

499
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: and others continue to look for the little girl or

500
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: her body. People lashing out at the mother as well,

501
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: And maybe this has something to do with it. Listen,

502
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: you can't deny the here joy that jumps off of

503
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: four year old Malia's face in the pictures that have

504
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: been in the public eye since her disappearance, those were

505
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: perhaps the happier days. Court records we uncovered paint a

506
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: darker picture of the little girl's life over the last

507
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: several months. Documents we obtained from the Harris County Clerks

508
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: show that last August, the Department of Family and Protective

509
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: Services received a report alleging physical abuse and neglectful supervision

510
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: of Malia. She was living with her mother, Brittany Bowens,

511
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: and stepfather Darry and Vince at the time. The state

512
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: got involved after Malia's mother brought her to the hospital

513
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: with a head injury. Doctors had to do surgery to

514
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: remove half of her skull. When Malia got out of ICU,

515
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: doctors ordered that she wear a helmet for twelve to

516
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: twenty four months while she healed. But that was not

517
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: Malia's first trip to the er. You're hearing our friend

518
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Cheryl Mercedes at khou to Lee Egancrimalline dot Com investigative reporter.

519
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: What more do we know about this little girl's history

520
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: with Family Protective Services? I mean, she's only four years old.

521
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: That says four times twelve. That's only forty eight months,

522
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: So how can that be this many visits to the

523
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: doctor in the hospital. Well, all signs, in my opinion,

524
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: point to abuse. But of course Brittany says that that

525
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: never happened. She says that the little girl fell. She says,

526
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: she's at a chair and she's fill and hit her

527
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: head on a marble table. Now, CPS didn't go out

528
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: to their apartment, but the investigator did not measure the

529
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: height from the chair to the table, so we're not

530
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: sure you know how far she's fell. But either way,

531
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: doctors couldn't determine definitively that it was from a fall

532
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: or was it from abuse. They couldn't tell, so you know,

533
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: she had the operations of surgeries, and apparently Brittany completed

534
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: her parenting classes and they allowed the little girl to

535
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: temporarily go back to her home. Couldn't tell that is

536
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: a load of b s. Child Protective Services needs to

537
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: be strung up along with Darien Vince. Because you're sitting

538
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: in a chair, even a high chair, at most you

539
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: fall three feet. This child's head injury was so severe

540
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: she had swelling and bleeding on the brain. They had

541
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: to remove a big chunk of her skull and place

542
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: it either in a refrigerated or frozen atmosphere or in

543
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: her abdomen until the pressure could come off of her brain,

544
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: and then reattach it to her skull. That's how serious

545
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: the fall was. But this is what they say. According

546
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: to records, On July tenth, Bowens took Malia to the

547
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: er after she was throwing up blood. Doctor's reported Malia

548
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: was extremely lethargic. Malia was treated and sent home the

549
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: very next week. On July twenty eighth, Malia was back

550
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: in the hospital for a cut to her forehead. Medical

551
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: professionals reported she had blood just outside of her brain.

552
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Neither parent was able to tell doctors what could have

553
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: caused it, and says she was hurt after falling from

554
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: a chair, but medical professionals said that would not have

555
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: caused the serious internal injuries. Doctors reported they were concerned

556
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: about abuse, but in the end, the court found they

557
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: could not confirm whether or not those injuries were caused

558
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: by abuse. That's Cheryl Mercedes reporting out of KHOU. I

559
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: mean when I hear that, Kathleen Murphy, family lawyer, it

560
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: just hurts me because the doctors are saying, I don't

561
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: know how this could have happened by accident from a fall.

562
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: The doctors, the medical doctors are saying that. But CPS

563
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: pushed the child back in the home and now we

564
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: think she's been dismembered. Kathleen, it was clearly not properly investigated.

565
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: It was clearly not properly investigated. And this child is dead, Nancy.

566
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: This child is dead because of the court systems, because

567
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: of CPS, because of the mother, because of her boyfriend,

568
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: and because nobody stood up and stood up for this

569
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: child in a way that counted. She and her two

570
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: little siblings returned to the home per and order from

571
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: a judge. Tim Miller found a director of Texas Sex Research.

572
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: You're out there beating your brains out, sweating, wet in

573
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the rain, digging through some remote mail route in East Houston, Texas.

574
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: You can't find anything. And now you know, a judge

575
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: and Child Protective Services handed this little girl back over

576
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: to the stepdad on a silver platter. Well, I think

577
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: CPS has blood out in their hands. I think a

578
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: judge has blood out his hands or her hands, whatever

579
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: judge it was. And that's another report that we got

580
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: is that when she did have that brain entry, that

581
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Britney's mother came home and that baby was actually going

582
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: into seizures. And Brittney's mother is the one that said, Brittany,

583
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: you get this baby to the hospital. There's a child

584
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: that's having seizures. And stepdad and biological mom and i'd

585
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: even taken it to the emergency rule as Britney's mother said,

586
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: get that baby to the hospital. That baby probably would

587
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: have died if they wouldn't have been for Brittany's mother.

588
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: So they had to force the mom, talk the mom

589
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: into taking the baby to the hospital. Well, you know

590
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: another thing I don't understand is that little Malia was

591
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: at that house for an hour and a half before

592
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: Brittany went to the airport. And nobody's going to tell

593
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: me an apartment that's small, that mom wouldn't know that

594
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: her little daughter was running around the apartment. And then

595
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: why did she leave that early winter flight? Meant leave

596
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: until four thirty in the afternoon. So nobody's story, you know,

597
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: matches up to anything that's going on in this case.

598
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: Not one person's story. Nobody's story is matching up. Tim

599
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: Miller to Kathleen Murphy, family lawyer, Kathleen, I'm trying to

600
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: piece together how many times this child was reported to CPS.

601
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: CPS does nothing what the child had endured for four years,

602
00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: her entire life. She was methodically and regularly and consistently abused,

603
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: and she was kept out of preschool for many days

604
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: after she was returned in February. Their other child was

605
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: at preschool. This child was not at preschool. And I

606
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: believe this child was consistently, regularly and habitually abused. I

607
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: believe the mother knew about it. Take a listen to

608
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: our friends at ABCNS the bombshell allegations in the case

609
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: of that missing four year old girl in Houston. A

610
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: spokesperson for the mother of Malia Davis making graphic abuse

611
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: claims against her stepfather. Here's ABC's Aeriel Ruscheff Tonight, a

612
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: spokesman for the mother of missing four year old Malia Davis,

613
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: making chilling new allegations claiming Malia's stepfather was physically abusive

614
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: toward the child. We need the truth about what happened

615
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: to young Malia to come out, sources say. This image

616
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,480

Speaker 1: leaving home on Friday with a laundry basket carrying a

618
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: plastic bag, and they say the next night he's seen

619
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,920

Speaker 1: on the side of the road and Malia was gone. Today,

621
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: Malia's mother pressed on why she is only now sharing

622
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: these allegations. This mother has suffered a lot of abuse

623
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: in her life. Okay, We're hearing it from all sides

624
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: about what happened and why nothing was done about it.

625
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: Tim Miller, founder director of Texas Equisearch. It seems to

626
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: me that this child suffered her whole life, and now

627
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: you are left looking for her body and would Nancy.

Speaker 1: We're gonna do everything we can do to find that

629
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: by I don't care where it takes us. You know,

630
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: sure we wish step Dad would talk, but when they

631
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: arrested him, of course he lawyered up immediately and in

632
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: anticipated he would do that, so that no cooperations from

633
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: him whatsoever. You know, Mom knew this was going on

634
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: for a long time, so you know, if she's certainly

635
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be Mother of the Year by no means.

636
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: And you know, CPS got the ball, Judge got the ball.

639
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: she was born. And again I said this before, I'll

640
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,239

641
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: did not choose to be, in some place he doesn't

642
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: want to be. And there's one person that knows, and
