WEBVTT - One Step Ahead - Talina Zar E6 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:02.239 Background. 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.320 My roommate, Tea, has been missing since April, and I 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.160 have been law enforcement's target since the beginning, thanks to 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:15.480 a vindictive X and a disgruntled friend excluded from the will. 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.960 In the summer of twenty twenty, Corey Bamley sets up 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.800 a gofund me page to raise money for her legal fees, 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.280 with a goal of twelve thousand dollars. In her post, 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.040 Corey refers to Teleina as Tea. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.120 Tea has been suicidal for a couple years, had pre 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.280 planned and pre paid for her own funeral, and repeatedly 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.800 told those closest to her that she intended to carry 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.280 out her final wishes in June twenty twenty. In April, 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.120 she was convinced she'd contracted COVID nineteen, and I believe 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:57.120 she accelerated her plans and left for a destination unknown 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.000 to everyone but herself. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.360 If you left me in charge of home. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:07.680 Finances and pets, but I cannot honor her wishes while 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:13.920 she remains missing no death certificate. Local law enforcement has 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.880 targeted me based on malicious leads and a desire to 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:24.119 close a case, regardless of the facts. This law enforcement 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.840 agency has a bad reputation for this type of unprofessional behavior, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.760 and my legal representation is essential but draining me financially. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.440 If you are able to help in any way, it 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:45.840 will not only be greatly appreciated, but it will be 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:51.480 remembered once I've been vindicated. Smiley face. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.880 From iHeart Podcasts. I'm Melissa Jelson and this is what 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.320 happened to Telenazar. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.000 The first thing I would say was how's your roommate going? 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.800 And she always answered the best I've ever had. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.760 There's still part of me thinking that maybe someone will 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.079 just call and say she's sick. Somewhere. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.600 He goes, well, she killed my Telena wife, And I said, 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.040 if you know that, let's get the sheriffs. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:43.000 Just because they're missing doesn't mean anything was nefarious. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.200 I was angry with her. I was just on a 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.119 mission to take her down. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.240 I wasn't scared. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:03:06.200 Episode six, One Step Ahead. It's May twenty eighth, twenty twenty, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.079 about two months since Telena disappeared. The Wagner County Sheriff's 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.440 Office now believes that her roommate, Corey Baumerly was involved, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.639 and with a search warrant in hand, they go looking 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.280 for the evidence to prove it. A team of detectives 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.040 and deputies roll up on announced to Toelena and Corey's house. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.280 Detective Weber has been inside before with Corey's blessing. This 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.520 time is different. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.680 When I told her that I had a search warrant 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.200 was coming inside the house, she instantly her demeanor changed. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.240 She appeared to go kind of pale and began shaking 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:41.800 real bad. 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.640 Corey comes outside to meet the detectives, says she has 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.119 a lawyer and will no longer be speaking to them, 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.720 but that's not how this works. They show her the 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.640 search warrant. She has no choice but to let them in. 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.520 To get back in, she needed either a fingerprint on 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.800 her doorknob or a code. She tried her fingerprint several 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.440 times and it wouldn't unlock for her because her fingers 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.320 wouldn't go into the fingerprint reader. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.840 She was trampling so bad. She had to try the 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.960 code several times to get it unlocked. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.440 Inside the house, the deputies fan out. Weber explains what 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:23.520 they're looking for, phones, computers, and asks Corey to locate them. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.280 I asked her where her phone was. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.760 We walked to the kitchen where she had her cell 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.839 phone hidden inside a saucepan in a lower cabinet drawer. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.680 As for computers, Corey says she has none, so Weber 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.920 goes hunting himself. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.400 Corey had placed two of her dogs in the bathroom 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:41.520 of the master bedroom. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.040 I thought this was odd, given that. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.159 There was plenty of room in the yard for them, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.520 and she had kennels in the garage. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.400 I went into this bathroom. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.480 And found a tower computer hidden underclothing in the bathroom closet. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.039 I also located another laptop computer in the front bedroom closet. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.680 Corey seems on edge as Weber continues to search the house. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.440 He keeps an eye on her, and at one point 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.200 sees her walk outside into the backyard. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.719 She appeared to walk slowly toward the northwest corner of 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.440 the yard while scanning her head back and forth. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.359 It appeared she was looking for something. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.120 Intrigued by this, Weber retraces Corey's steps, goes to the 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.520 same corner of the yard and doesn't notice anything in particular, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.520 but a little ways off, a fire pit catches Weber's eye. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.800 Up close, he finds burnt and melted remnants of a mattress. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.360 Corey burned it because of feed. He called her too. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:49.360 Weber takes some photos to document the scene. Back at 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.440 the station. Digging into Corey's phone, the police finds something 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.719 ominous Internet searches for how to remove blood from cement 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.320 and how to moved blood from wood. They also find 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:08.200 a photo of Corey's white cargo trailer. For weeks, sheriffs 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.400 have been trying to locate this trailer. They think it 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.440 might be key to understanding what happened to Telena, seeing 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.720 as it seemed to disappear not too long after she did. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.919 When Detective Weber asked Corey about it on May ninth, 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.400 she said she'd sold it earlier for one thousand bucks. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.200 It was there one day, and now it's not what's 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.919 a trailer got to do with? 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.840 It was mine, it wasn't Telena's, so okay. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.720 However, looking at the photo on Corey's phone, officers can 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.039 tell that she took the picture on May tenth, a 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.200 day after a meeting with Weber, meaning she lied again. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.400 But they still don't know where the trailer is. There 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.240 had been at least one siding of it, though I. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.880 Told him that I had all that trailer over at 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.200 Billy's Shields. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.520 Plave, Greg tells police during an interview that he saw 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.560 the trailer on the property of Billy Shields, a neighbor 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.080 who often cleaned Telena and Corey's house. 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.240 We were going to a place to go pick up 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.080 a pizza, and we drove by and saw that trailer. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.440 Spit made. It was plugged into an extension cord, Like 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.600 there's an extension, like an orange extension cord going into 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.320 the back of this trailer. And I thought, well, that's weird. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.360 Why would Corey have that over here, especially plugged in. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.240 She has her own house that she can plug it 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:35.920 in over there. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.320 Greg had been characteristically candid with the police, telling them 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.040 all about how he got rid of Telena's bed frame 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.480 at Corey's request. He had voluntarily gone down to the station, 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.360 but still it was intimidating being questioned about a missing person. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.720 Yeah, it was the first time I'd ever been interviewed 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:02.840 by Shaf's deputies like that. They had had a couple 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.320 of people of interest, and I believe I was one 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.880 of them. And I just sat down and just started 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.520 the story and told him in there and they're looking 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.880 at me, and I didn't really know what what to 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:18.440 say or do. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.200 Greg continued to share information with the cops as they 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.560 requested it. At one point, they asked him to verify 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.520 the layout of Teleina and Corey's house. Who slept where. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.400 When they showed me pictures of the house, I said, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.760 that wasn't the bedroom that Telena stayed in. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.920 Corey had told police that Teleina slept in the front room, 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.080 but Greg explained that Teleina's bedroom was actually in the 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.640 back of the house, and looking at the photos, he 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.200 saw that Telena's room had been totally disassembled. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.840 Corey had taken all of all of her stuff and 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.160 put captain there, and I had seen the cats. I'm 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.520 what the hell is this? Delena didn't let cats in 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 the house. I felt like at that point, you know, 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.640 she was trying to cover up a crime scene by 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:16.640 putting all that cats. And they weren't clean. They were thinky, nasty, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.360 fishing and pooping everywhere. Cats. You know, I felt like 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:22.920 she's covering something up. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.520 Grag told us Telena slept on the bed in the 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.720 back bedroom on the left. This was extremely significant information 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.280 because Corey lied during interviews and during the tour of 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.040 the residents. She told us Telena slept in the front 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.560 bedroom on the left. And the back bedroom was the 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.679 TV room. This indicates Corey quickly completely rearranged the two 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.640 bedrooms after burning the mattress. This also indicates that there 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.800 was something very significant about this mattress. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.800 With all this new information, the investigation goes into hyperdrive. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.960 The detectives tracked down two storage units that Corey rented 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.400 in two separate parts of the state, and after getting 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.960 more search warrants for the units, they find a backpack 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:15.520 containing two guns and a driver's license chopped up into 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.720 little bits. Methodically putting the pieces back together, a picture 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.600 emerges of a dark haired woman with a fixed gaze 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.920 and her name Telena Janna Galloway. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.640 During the execution of multiple search warrants, evidence showed Corey 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.960 cut up Toelena's driver's license and was hiding it in 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:37.920 the storage unit. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.240 A week or so later, the Sheriff's office is back 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.240 at Telena and Corey's house, this time with a search 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.400 warrant that gives them free rein to take anything that 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.080 could be evidence of a crime. They use that blue 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.840 Star chemical in the room that is actually Tolena's, the 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.679 one at the back of the house that had been 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:02.960 turned into the cat room, and the floor glows just 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:08.439 like the garage did. Elsewhere, officers find two more firearms, 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.760 bringing the grand total to four. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.800 A subsequent interview in Search Warren of the victim's residence 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.600 produced a firearm and the defendant's possession that she claimed 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.839 the victim took with her when she left. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.960 Because Corey is a convicted felon, police are able to 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.839 arrest her on the spot for possession of a firearm. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.040 She was handcuffed to and arrested and taken to Wagner 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:31.679 County Jail. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.320 When I found out she was arrested, I was super excited, 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.200 like maybe they got her, maybe they found something. Because 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.240 we didn't know right away what she had been arrested for. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.040 We're all kind of connecting through conference calls from each 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.160 person trying to figure out did you hear anything to 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.479 do here, kind of talking to the neighbors. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.560 The sluts soon learn Corey is facing more than a 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.480 dozen charges, including possession of a firearm as a felon, 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:10.680 destroying evidence, and obstructing a criminal investigation, but not any 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:16.120 charges directly related to Toleina's disappearance without a body the 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.600 police or hamstrung still Jess and the other online sleuths 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:21.600 take it as a win. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.680 It's like, Okay, maybe we're gonna have some answers, maybe 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.240 they know something. It was a super exciting time for everybody. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.480 I think most people involved were like finally, as. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.200 The online sleuths celebrate, Jess notices that Marty is dealing 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.120 with Corey's arrest differently. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.920 The only person who wasn't super excited and see more 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.560 pissed off was Marty. He was he was pissed, but 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.040 he was excited, but he was more angry about the situation. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.600 Corey's first night in jail, Jess gets a call. It's Marty. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.440 He tells her that he'd gone into Toleina's empty house. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.560 He told me that when he went in, he saw 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.200 the will sitting on the counter. He saw Telena's will, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.480 and he had seen that Corey had circled and highlighted 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.079 things about who's getting what and how she's trying to 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.280 take everything and run. And he had this whole long 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.280 story about how he'd been completely cut out and he 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.320 was furious. And then he said he went to the 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.559 garage and he took the chainsaw and pawned it because 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.720 he needed to get some money to pay for a prescription. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.280 The way Marty's acting plants a little seed that maybe 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.120 he was involved in some way. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.120 Something about that whole situation turned me off. Alarm bells 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.720 were kind of in my head, not enough for me 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.679 to accuse him of anything, but just enough in the 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.240 back of my head to say, this isn't right. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.840 By this point, Jess is no stranger to the Wagner 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:50.800 County Sheriff's office. She's called in tips many times, but 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.560 this is the first time she calls in to report Marty, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.760 someone she considers a front. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.240 I'd said, hey, something about this made me feel weird. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.439 He broke into this house and he took the chainsaw, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.480 and we don't know where Teleina is and Corey's in jail, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.880 and the whole thing just seems weird, Like it seemed weird. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.440 I don't I don't know. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.720 The rustic house nestled in the trees used to be 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:21.320 full of life, first Tolena and her husband Tom, then 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.200 just to Lena, then Teleina and Corey, and for a 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:30.320 little while just Corey and now no one except for 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.120 a huge collection of animals, from donkeys to cats to 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:35.880 many many dogs. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.360 She had like seven or eight dogs. Three were like 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.880 pitball box and mixes that she kept in the backyard. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:49.600 And then there was a Bassett Hound and a chihuahua, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.720 and then there was Calena's a little dog, and then 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.360 there was like three or four other dogs of Cory's. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.280 This is Rachel Parker, one of Helena's friends who lived nearby. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.080 And an animal advocate. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.520 I'm not going to sit down here and listen about 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.720 these animals dying because they're not getting fed or what not. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:15.000 Her house sitter had reached out to me about the dogs, 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.520 all of the dogs that were down there, and she's like, 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.320 you know, Corey is in jail, can you come help 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:22.920 me take care of these dogs. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.440 Rachel asks Greg to come with her. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.480 Rachel, you know, being the dog weaver that she is, 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.480 and I mean, she wants to rescue every dog if possible. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.240 So we go over to Helena's house to see about 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.400 these dogs. We hadn't talked to anybody to get permission 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.960 from anybody. Rachel just knew felt like she knew Telena, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.400 and I felt like I knew them well enough that 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.920 we could just pop over there and see what's up 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.000 with the dogs. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.280 Pulling up to Corey's house, they noticed a U Haul 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.800 trailer in the driveway. It's not Cory's white trailer, the 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:06.000 one that police have been hunting. It's a different rented trailer. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:12.600 But being armchair detectives, they're curious and decide to open it. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.240 And I slung open the door and me and Rachel 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.840 standing there, and she goes, oh my god, this thing 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:25.280 sounds like Beth And I'm like, I know, it looks clean, 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.720 but it just thinks, I mean, like somebody had packed 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:35.040 dead fish in this thing or something and left it 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:35.800 in the sun. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:41.360 Maybe there was nothing, you know, overtly unclean or anything 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.360 about it. When we opened it up, there was just 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:44.960 a really, really bad smell. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.960 I wondered, you know, if I should go ahead and 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.280 call the U haul people and tell them where it's at, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.160 because Cory, the person that had rented it, was in jail. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:55.560 But we didn't. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:56.920 We left it all alone. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.920 Undeterred, they head into the garage. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.159 There were dog crates and stuff in the garage, and 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:10.080 there was a pile of boxes and other bits and 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.960 bobs in there. She had literally gone through and painted 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.760 the floor around these areas. And I looked at that, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.720 and I said to Greg, that odd looking And we 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.160 just kind of looked at each other. 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.240 There's fresh gray paint on the garage floor, applied in 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.359 a haphazard pattern. There's even a wet looking roller sitting 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.320 in a tray of paint. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.480 Not like somebody had decided to paint their garage or whatnot. 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:41.200 They're going to move everything out. She just painted around everything. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.720 It was just really weird. I mean, by then we 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.600 all kind of had a suspicion that something bad had happened. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:54.760 They keep going in the house, Rachel notices something that 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:55.600 isn't there. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.600 When we got to the kitchen, we noticed the freezer 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.160 was not the freezer used to I think at one 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.960 point it was in the garage, and then it was 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.400 in the kitchen. Well it wasn't there. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.639 Jay wasn't meet and said, you guys should go ahead 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.520 and take it. Our freezer is stuffed. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.320 Full of meat. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.760 Rachel is so struck by the missing freezer that she 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.520 mentions it to a few other people, and as it does, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:24.640 news gets back to the sleuths. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.200 When we found out the freezer was missing from the garage, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.800 it was like how the hell, Like, how did she 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.400 get rid of this freezer? Get it out of here, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:36.280 and then get arrested. It just seemed unreal. How the 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.440 hell did the police miss it. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.679 Over the next few days, Rachel continues to feed the 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.760 animals and begins the process of rehoming them. On one visit, 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.639 she runs into another person, Billy Shields to Lena and 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:55.800 Corey's housekeeper. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.760 I came in through the back gate and walk into 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.560 the garage from the door into the kitchen, and she 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.959 turned around and looked at me, and she just went white. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.920 Because Telena and I were very similar in looks and 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:15.200 body structure in the whole nine yard. And she looked 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.800 at me and she just started crying. She said, I 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.800 thought you were Toelena. She said, you walked. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:21.200 Into the door. 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.000 I swear to God, I thought you were Telena, And 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.399 I mean she started crying, and do did I. We 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.960 all knew at that point that something had happened. 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.200 We didn't know what I think. In a day or two, 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:41.080 Rachel ended up getting all of the dogs out of there. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.639 A couple of days after we moved the dogs. I 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.159 was at work, Greg was over here at my house 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:49.600 taking care of my dogs. 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.720 I just happened to be over at Rachel's house letting 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.600 her dogs out and Corey pulls up behind me. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.600 Fortunately, I have cameras all around my property and I 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.680 saw what was going on. She pulled up behind him 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.760 at my gate and kind of locked him into my 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.440 into my driveway. 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:18.879 She's completely blindsided me. I was closing the gate, walking 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.520 up to the truck, pulled the truck door open, and 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.280 she's walking around my truck. And I thought she was 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:26.119 still in jail. 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.440 And normally I carry it. 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.040 Again, I mean, I've been in concealed carries for a 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.920 long long time, and I would I had my pistol 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.680 on me normally, out of instinct, I grabbed for my pistol, 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:46.280 but I did not have and she just said where's 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.840 my dog? And I'm like, I don't have them? And 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:51.400 she goes, does Rachel have them? 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.679 I said no, and she goes, did they get adopted immediately? 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.760 And I said yes, And she turned around and got 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:10.600 back in the car and left. 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.920 Less than a week after her arrest, Corey is released 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:23.399 on bond. News of this travels fast. Chantal Tolina's niece 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.760 posts an announcement online which we've recreated. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.199 Corey got out of jail this afternoon. Everyone please be 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.560 on alert. I don't want her to hurt anyone else. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.440 I fear for everyone who has helped in the investigation 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.680 or spoken out about her. Please just all keep your 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:43.439 eyes open. 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.480 Jess gets a one line text from Marty. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.120 Hey, sweetheart, the fucking cunt got out. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:52.520 We thought she was going to get in a lot 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.800 more trouble with the guns because she's a felon. I 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.800 know a lot of police officers and sheriffs, and like, 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.480 we know how important it is for pellons TB guns, 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.359 especially here. I guess I don't know about Oklahoma, but 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.840 it's a huge deal. Bones cannot carry firearms. We were 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.960 looking up the penalties and it's like fifteen years per charge, 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:10.159 and I was like, well, hell, we've got her on 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.040 thirty years right there. We can be done and haven't 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:12.680 gonna let her out. 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:14.800 I was like, what the. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.199 Hell it's going on here? We thought we thought we 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:19.320 had her. 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.439 The sleuths are worried that the police aren't moving fast enough, 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.359 or more accurately, that Corey is moving faster. 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.320 It always felt like she was one step ahead of 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.400 them and us no matter what. I didn't really understand 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.160 how police worked and gathering their evidence and what they 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.400 actually needed in order to arrest her. 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:43.639 With law enforcement seemingly unable to hold Corey accountable, just 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.000 starts to feel like it's up to her. If justice 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.240 is going to be served, she may have to be 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.120 the one to deliver it. But she's far away, so 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.480 she deputizes Marty. She asks him to drive by the 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.560 house and observe what's going on, and even to go 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.119 through the trash after Corey puts it on the curb. 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.120 It's a way for Jess to build her case against Corey, 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:10.119 but it's also a kind of litmus test for Marty. 0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:14.879 After all, Jess is convinced that Corey didn't act alone. 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.959 I'm saying, hey, I think somebody helped her, and he's like, no, 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.119 she's super strong. He didn't want me to think the 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:23.000 accomplished theory. 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.680 In the days after Corey's release from jail, Jess notices 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.960 that Marty's often agitated and upset, quick to turn on her. 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.760 He'd get pissy that I didn't answer my phone, or well, 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.800 I'm just gonna call Rosie or I'll call Nicole. It's 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:41.160 like call him, I don't know, sounds good. 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:46.119 At one point, Marty tells Jess that Corey's been driving 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:49.560 by his house. Jess tells him to call the police, 0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.040 but he has his own way of executing justice. 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.480 He said, well, I've got my ar right here, so 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.160 if she comes in, I'll shoot the bitch. 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.879 Jess can't make sense of marty behavior. She doesn't know 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.520 him well enough to understand what's going on inside his head. 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:10.480 Is he acting guilty because he did something or is 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.720 he scared because he knows what Corey is capable of. 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:18.320 He tells Jess he's drinking more and not sleeping. 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:23.840 Well, I don't know if it was fear or panic. 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.119
