50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: one six nine one one straight out to crime online

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: dot Com investigative reporter Nicole Parton, Nicole, what happened on

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: April twenty one.

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 8: So the nine one one call comes in and the

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 8: dispatcher can hear screaming in the background, and they can

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 8: hear Michayla screaming for help, screaming for help. Once that

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 8: dispatcher is connected, that call immediately goes dead.

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 9: That's it.

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 8: Communication is lost. Now we know that we're being told

59
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 8: that someone inside the home said that Michayla was screaming.

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 8: There's also a neighbor that said they heard screaming her

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 8: crying for help. Someone in the home said she ran

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 8: out barefooted, screaming for help. And then that call comes

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 8: in to nine one one, disconnected and that's it.

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: That's very odd to me, joining me high profile lawyer

65
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: IRV Miller with the Miller Firm, Legal Alyss, CBS two,

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: wbb MTV and legal advisor to The Good Wife and

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: The Good Fight or Miller, thank you for being with us.

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: That sounds like a lot of evidence. And I mean,

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: people hear her screaming, someone saw enough to say that

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,559
Speaker 2: she ran out of the home and she was screaming.

71
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: We know she called nine one one. It's really hard

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: for me to get my head around why this woman

73
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: hasn't been found.

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 7: Well, this is more than a missing person case. Based

75
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 7: on all the information you just provided. There's something nefary

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 7: is going on that he happened to this young lady,

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 7: and I think it's incumbent upon the police department involved

78
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 7: to be a little bit more transparent. I don't know

79
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 7: if they've released at the copy or recording of that

80
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 7: nine to one one tape, but certainly it should be

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 7: released to let the public actually know what's going on,

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 7: because I think what the ant in this case and

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 7: bringing this case to the public's attention is outstanding investigative

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 7: work that should have been done by the local police department,

85
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 7: not by her.

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Jason Gensen joining us Salt Lake City, Utah, private investigator,

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: owner of Jensen Private Investigations and the co founder of

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: Cold Case Coalition. Jason, thank you for being with us

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: when I will want call is made. Isn't it true

90
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: that there is call a ID on the other end

91
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: and that that call can also be pinged a traced

92
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 10: They know exactly the IP location where that call was played,

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 10: So for them to be checking in the vicinity of

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 10: the home makes sense because they're realizing that was her

96
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 10: last known location.

97
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something, Jason Jensen. The other night,

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: You know, my twins are now fifteen. So we John

99
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: David my son wanted to practice drive at night, so

100
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: out we went at about a quarter of nine. So

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: we drove all through the neighborhood and he said, let's

102
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: cross the highway and drive over to the church. So

103
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: I said, okay, it's right there, resigning, we crossed over

104
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: and we went to the parking lot of the church,

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: and we're driving around and lo and behold, right there

106
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: in the back parking lot where the big Boy Scout

107
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: camper van is parked, there was a guy. Of course,

108
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: I got his description, hunched down in the driver's seat

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: of what appeared to be a gray Silver Tacoma at

110
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: nine point thirty at night, hiding behind a Boy Scout

111
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: camper van. So when you drove by the church you

112
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: couldn't see him. Well, of course, I call a nine

113
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: one one. This is what I'm circuitously working up to

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: a point. Jason, within about five minutes, I got a

115
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: call back on my cell phone. They said, why were you?

116
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Suspecial said, I know, I've never seen that car in

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: that parking lot before. The guy was hunched down in

118
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: his car seat like he didn't want me to see him.

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: And he's part about a foot away from a boy

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: scout camper. That's not normal. Why is he in our

121
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: church parking lot? Well, anyway, they say, can you give

122
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: us a description because we're looking for a white male

123
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: right now in that area. Anyway, My point is you

124
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: darn too, and they've got your phone number even if

125
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: you punched Star six seven and try to block it,

126
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: and they will find you. And I don't understand why

127
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: when this woman calls nine to one one from this area,

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: why they didn't go immediately to the area. Help me, Jason.

129
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's bewildering because according to what reports have claimed

130
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 10: is that she was literally yelling for nine to one one,

131
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 10: help me, help me, help me. So she's obviously in distress,

132
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 10: she knows she is, so something's afoot.

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Okay, how would that happen, though, Ermil, or how would

134
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: they actually go about getting her a location? They obviously

135
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: had her phone number and did nothing.

136
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 7: Well, the technology that the police departments have these days

137
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 7: is just amazing. I'm not sure how advanced this particular

138
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 7: department is that received this nine to one one call.

139
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 7: Every department that I've either been associated with or having

140
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 7: subpoened their records for a case, they managed to have

141
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 7: unbelievable information as far as the actual towers that the

142
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 7: phone calls are connected to. The phone is connected to,

143
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 7: they can track your location within a matter of feet.

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 7: And I can't explain why this police department didn't do

145
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 7: the type of work that they were supposed to do

146
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 7: when a nine one one call comes in, I know

147
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 7: they prioritize the various cases.

148
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 10: That come in.

149
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 7: There's a difference between some call and a shoplifting case

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 7: and a woman screaming for help, and to me, that's

151
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 7: priority number one.

152
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: I guess everybody on this panel has heard the name

153
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: Kitty GENEVESI, a woman was stamped multiple times screaming and

154
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: begging for help when people were looking out their windows

155
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: just watching her get murdered. That was in nineteen sixty four,

156
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: and the so called bystander effect has been a point

157
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: of discussion ever since. What liability, if any do the

158
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: people have that stand by and watch. Most's the ones

159
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,520

161
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: people observed her running out, screaming, and nobody did a thing.

162
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 8: That's right, Nancy. So, her boyfriend in the home where

163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 8: she was last seen, his story is that he saw

164
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 8: her run out, he heard her screaming. Yet to my knowledge,

165
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 8: he made no nine to one one call himself. He

166
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 8: admits that he didn't go out to see what the

167
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 8: screaming was or if she was okay. He didn't follow

168
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 8: up on that. But there is that witness.

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 9: Who says, yes, I saw.

170
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 8: Her leave the home, and yes I did hear screaming.

171
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Outside time stories with Nancy Grace.

172
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: Guys, this is just a woman that you know, we

173
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 2: can't find that she's quote run off with her boyfriend.

174
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: I'll never get over Drea Peterson saying that over and

175
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: over and over about his wife, Stacy, his fourth wife, Stacy.

176
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: She's dead. He killed her, but he kept saying, oh,

177
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: she just left, She left behind her children, her car,

178
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: her clothes, She just ran off with her her nee boyfriend.

179
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: There is no new boyfriend. He killed her. This woman

180
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: ran from the home. This she's a girl as far

181
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned. She's twenty five years old, and she's beautiful.

182
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: She's got the bluest blue eyes I have ever seen.

183
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: She's gorgeous. She didn't just run off with a new boyfriend.

184
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: Foul play has befallen her again. The tip line is

185
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: three six zero four one six one one. Now take

186
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: a listen to our friend Jake Chapman.

187
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: Her aunt tells us she'd been staying in this neighborhood

188
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: recently and was trying to call for help last Friday,

189
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: but sadly, that call never went through. The Skedgy County

190
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: Sheriff's Office confirmed that information as they continue their search,

191
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: Deputy showing us where they've been looking the past week,

192
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: hoping to find anything that can lead to Machayla. Even

193
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: though this has been a tough time for the family.

194
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: You know, what may seem like we're not understanding what

195
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: they're doing, is it not? You know, we don't think

196
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: it's happening fast enough. But this is our kid that's missing.

197
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: Okay, we keep hearing the call didn't go through, The

198
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: call didn't go through. The call did go through. She

199
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: was started screaming into the phone to nine one one.

200
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Now why nothing was done with that, I don't know,

201
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: but that call did go through. I'm following up on

202
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: what you just heard from Jake Chapman at Cairo seven.

203
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: Mike's is with us, president founder of Peace River Canine

204
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Search and Rescue. You can find them at p r

205
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: sa R Peace River Search and Canine Rescue dot org. Mike,

206
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. Sure, I find it

207
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: very curious that the family is having to go out

208
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: and search for Mikaela. I don't understand what's happening with

209
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: law enforcement in this area Concrete, Washington, But the family

210
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: is out and even handing out flyers with their personal

211
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: names on the flyers. What should be happening in the

212
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: search right now? What should LA law enforcement be doing?

213
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 11: Well, Speaking from my experience, generally, when a call like

214
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 11: this comes in, we are dispatched within three to four

215
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 11: hours after that call comes in. There's going to be

216
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 11: an initial deputy that goes out there. He's going to

217
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 11: make the call, and they're going to start calling resources

218
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 11: in and we're all going to be out in the

219
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 11: River of the Woods. Everything within three to four hours

220
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 11: after that call comes in. I do not understand why

221
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 11: it took so long to get star teams. I think

222
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 11: it was three days before the actual search and rescue

223
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 11: teams got out there. Now, in the state of Washington,

224
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 11: they are excellent star teams there, I mean, they have

225
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 11: some of the best in the country in that state.

226
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 11: And why they're not out there, I don't know why

227
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 11: they're not out there. The law enforcement appears to have

228
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 11: dropped the ball on this one.

229
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I really do.

230
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 11: But it happens, especially in some of these smaller law

231
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 11: enforcement agencies. The report comes in, it gets put on

232
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 11: the missing person detective's desk. He's not back in until

233
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 11: Monday morning, so nothing happens until Monday morning, and so

234
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 11: it should have been those areas should have been come

235
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 11: within three to four hours after the call came in.

236
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: We also know that upon her running from the home

237
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: screaming calling nine one one witnesses heard a car scratch off,

238
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: leading authorities she may have been in the car, which

239
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: completely alters the search. Joining us again, Michaela's aunt, Marty Marteau, again,

240
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: this is Martin. Thank you for being with us. How

241
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 2: long did it take authorities to start looking for her.

242
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 10: Well.

243
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: First off, Mikayla's now twenty six. She had a birthday

244
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 5: on June nineteenth. And first off, when she made the

245
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: nine one one call, authorities knew Mikayla and they knew

246
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: her boyfriend very well. They knew that she was staying

247
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: in that house. And when after the nine one one call,

248
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: they went out and they did search the area of

249
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: the nine to one one call, just up and down

250
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: the road right there, but they didn't go knock on

251
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: the door. And that to me is that's heartbreaking right there,

252
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 5: because if they would have went and knocked on that

253
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 5: door and asked if Mikayla was okay, they may have

254
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 5: found her right there because they knew and they just

255
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: left the area. And after we called nine to one

256
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 5: one that evening, uh, they said that she she'll probably

257
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 5: come back. Don't worry about it. It's only been twelve hours.

258
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: Deputy was you know, the couple deputies went out kind

259
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: of just looked around and we told them we were

260
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: gonna knock on doors, and you know, they said we

261
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: could do that. They went knocked on a couple doors.

262
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 5: Detective was assigned Monday. She went missing Friday. The detective

263
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 5: was assigned Monday. A small search and rescue team, not

264
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 5: not the actual Star team, just a small foot team

265
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 5: was assigned on Tuesday and they just kind of looked around,

266
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 5: and I believe her phone was found two or three

267
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 5: days after that, So like Wednesday or Thursday, her phone

268
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: was found and it was down the river. It was

269
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: in some bushes, and it was in an area that

270
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: we had already searched. We had already been all along

271
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: the banks of the river. That was the first place

272
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: the family searched was all along the river. As matter

273
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: of fact, it was where we did the Cairo the

274
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: Kiro interview. We were standing right there where they found

275
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: the blanket. There was a blanket there in her phone.

276
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 5: We were already there. That phone was planted there. I

277
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 5: guarantee that phone was planted there. I put my life

278
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: on it. And we searched all along that area. And

279
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: then two weeks after Michayla went missing, the family hired

280
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 5: our own search dog team. The family did and we

281
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: searched all along the river banks up along the boyfriend's

282
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 5: property and we didn't find anything. And then three weeks

283
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 5: after Mikayla went missing, that's when the Sheriff's office finally

284
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: deployed the actual Stars team with the dogs, quads, boats,

285
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: all of that they did have like that. Before that,

286
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 5: they put some boats in the river. They had a

287
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: helicopter up after. That's after they found her phone. After

288
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 5: they found her phone, which was probably within five to

289
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 5: seven days after she went missing, that's when they put

290
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 5: the boats in the water in a helicopter and a

291
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 5: couple of them walked around. That's that's when they That's

292
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 5: when there was nothing done. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, there

293
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 5: was a couple of detectives assigned and we were told

294
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: that if we went up there, we'd be impeding an investigation.

295
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: I've been threatened with charges.

296
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: You were actually threatened with being charged with impeding.

297
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been threatened with impeating an investigation. I've been

298
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 5: threatened with burglary because I've knocked on people's doors and said, hey,

299
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 5: you know, Michayla could be hiding in an outshd or

300
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 5: a trade.

301
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: Or why would she be hiding in a shed.

302
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 5: She was running, She was running, screaming, trying to get

303
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: away from somebody, we think, but shed not now. But

304
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: this was like the first couple of days she could

305
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 5: be hiding. It was a very violent situation that she

306
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 5: was in. She was that night she was calling for

307
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 5: a ride to get out of that house. She was

308
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 5: trying to get out of that house. That's what was

309
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 5: going on then. That's why she was afraid. She was

310
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 5: afraid of something that There was the phone call that

311
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 5: she made to her dad at two thirty in the morning.

312
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 5: This was going on from two thirty in the morning

313
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: on she was she was trying to call for ride home.

314
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 5: Her brother's car was broke down. She called her dad

315
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: and he said that he was going to get up

316
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: and get ready for work and come get her. Another

317
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: thing that hasn't been mentioned much is after the nine

318
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: to one one phone call about it was thirteen minutes

319
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: or seventeen minutes later she made another phone call. She

320
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 5: made that phone call to her dad and he was

321
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 5: in the shower getting ready for work, and he didn't

322
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 5: get the phone call. So there was another phone call

323
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 5: made after nine one one.

324
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: What does she say to her dad He.

325
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: Didn't answer the phone, he was in the shower.

326
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: Does she leave a message, No, huh.

327
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 5: She just made a phone call or her phone made

328
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 5: a phone call. We're not even sure if it was

329
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 5: her or her phone made a phone call. So after

330
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 5: nine one one, the phone wasn't dead, it was it was.

331
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 5: We don't know if it was taken from her and

332
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 5: stopped or what. But on his phone log, we've all

333
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 5: seen it, and the police has seen it too. So

334
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 5: about fifteen minutes after nine one one, she made another

335
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: phone call to her dad, and the boyfriend has three

336
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 5: different stories. She went running out of the house barefoot

337
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 5: and he'd let her go, and then the second story

338
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: is he ran out after her and hear a car

339
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 5: taking off. And now there's another story that he supposedly

340
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 5: saw a silver car take off. So that's you know.

341
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stories coming from It's never good

342
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: when someone changes their story or Miller, would you agree

343
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: with that. You're a veteran trial lawyer. It's one thing

344
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: if you embellish or add to your story upon questioning,

345
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: but when you actually change the facts, your original facts,

346
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: that's not good.

347
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 7: That's not good. And that's why law enforcement would consider

348
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 7: witness testimony as the least powerful testimony.

349
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 10: There could be.

350
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 7: I prefer fight forensic testimony, I prefer expert testimony. I

351
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 7: prefer cell phone videos, the recordings and nine one on recordings.

352
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 7: But witnesses lie and other types of evidence, you don't

353
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 7: have to worry about credibility issues like you have to

354
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 7: do with a witness. Certainly, the boyfriend in this case,

355
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 7: I think his credibility is probably down to zero at

356
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 7: this point in time.

357
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 2: Well, the first time he changed his story, actually the

358
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: first time he reportedly did nothing when she ran from

359
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: the home screaming and calling nine one one, he lost

360
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: all credibility right there. But then when he changed your

361
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: story the first time, no, completely incredible. Karen Start is

362
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: joining me renowned psychologists out of the Manhattan jurisdiction. You

363
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: can find her at karenst com Karen with us. See Karen,

364
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: how many times have you and I heard that police

365
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: first reaction when a woman goes missing is she'll be

366
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: back and nanty.

367
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 9: They don't just do that. They do that all the

368
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 9: time with missing kids. Don't worry, they'll be back. The

369
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 9: thing that you mentioned before about the boyfriend is what's

370
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 9: most disturbing to me, because he's changed his story so

371
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 9: many times, and supposedly she was fighting with him and

372
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 9: that was the reason that she left. So there's something

373
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 9: up there that there's something the farious it seems to

374
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 9: me and not credible about him, and I just wonder

375
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 9: what was really going on between the two of them

376
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 9: and what was it that he witnessed. This is such

377
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 9: a bizarre story and so unfair to the family.

378
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: Another issue is, of course, no one has been charged,

379
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: no one has been named a POI person of interest.

380
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: Another issue, to Nicole Parton joining us Crime online dot

381
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: Com investigative reporter, is a very disturbing post that Mikila

382
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: made just days before she seemingly vanished into thin air

383
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: after screaming into the phone to nine one one. That

384
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: post says something to the effect, if I ever go missing,

385
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: just know I didn't leave. What can you tell me?

386
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: Nicole Parton about this post?

387
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 8: Absolutely so. She had posted that on her social media

388
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 8: and those were the exact words. If I ever go missing,

389
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 8: I didn't leave. I think it's also important to note,

390
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 8: Nancy this Makayla is a mother. I'm a mother, You're

391
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 8: a mother. We just don't leave our children. Mikayla has

392
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 8: a beautiful two year old child. She's not just going

393
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 8: to run away and leave this child that she adores

394
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 8: that message as though she was telling the world, if

395
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 8: I ever go missing, I didn't just leave. It's very

396
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 8: haunting at this point.

397
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, it also goes without saying that no one within

398
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: that home reported her missing, no one followed up on

399
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: the nine one one call, and left behind is a

400
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: three year old little boy that you're talking about, Nicole parton,

401
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: a three year old taught boy that she would never

402
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: have left behind. Nicole. Also, can you tell me about Concrete, Washington?

403
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 2: What do we know about it?

404
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 8: One of the most disturbing things that I found about

405
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 8: this area is I was shocked to see how much

406
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 8: human trafficking is happening in this very small area of Concrete, Washington,

407
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 8: to the point that this small town has detective that

408
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 8: just work these human trafficking cases, and I believe one

409
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 8: of those detectives has been assigned to this case. Also

410
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 8: in that area, without going into too much detail, that

411
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 8: we can't discuss, in that community, in that area where

412
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 8: she went missing, detectives have in prior time toned in

413
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 8: because there have been cases of human trafficking out of

414
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 8: that very community where she went missing.

415
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: Concrete is in north central Skaggy County in Washington. Its

416
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: population is seven hundred and five, not seven hundred five thousand,

417
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: not seven hundred and five thousand, seven hundred and five

418
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: people concrete. Okay, let that soak in. That greatly reduces

419
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: a potential suspect pool. Would you agree, Jason Jensen.

420
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 10: Well, yes, that's a very small finite number to work with.

421
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 10: I mean, it's almost reminiscent of one of the first

422
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 10: DNA cases in England where they were able to test

423
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 10: the entire community. Because there's such a small population here,

424
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 10: I'm sure law enforcements very familiar with who are the

425
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 10: good people, who are the criminals, and they can definitely

426
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 10: start from a smaller group and work wider tearing down

427
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 10: different suspects. But I find interesting about this post about

428
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 10: if something happens to me, it really is reminiscent to

429
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 10: the Susan coxs Palll case that I worked on, where clearly,

430
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 10: as we all knows power Josh Powell her husband had

431
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 10: something to do with it. That the number one reason

432
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 10: why a woman goes misseners and distresses usually from domestic violence,

433
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 10: somebody that she's familiar with, the family member, a boyfriend,

434
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 10: husband thinks of that nature. Those are typically the first

435
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 10: people that law enforcement needs to rule out.

436
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about the human traffic angle, the aspect

437
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: that Nicole Parton brought up. As a matter of fact,

438
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: the county is so concerned about human trafficking and the

439
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: numbers there that the Skaggatt County Coalition Against Trafficking Turning

440
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: Off the Red Light has been formed. Now you've got

441
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: the human trafficking problem that is, for some reason, heavily

442
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: heavily evident there in Concrete, Washington. But you also have

443
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: this bizarre post. If anything happens to me, I didn't leave.

444
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: Marty Marteau is with us. This is Mikhaiela's aunt, Miss Marteau.

445
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: What did that mean?

446
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 5: Michaela knew about she. She talked about human trafficking to

447
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 5: myself and her mother.

448
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: Miss Marteau. When you say she discussed human trafficking, was

449
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: she afraid of being human trafficked?

450
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 5: She she was afraid. She was. She was afraid. She

451
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: she was. She had spoke to her brother about all

452
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 5: the missing girls, and she actually wanted to help find

453
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 5: missing girls. That was one of her That was one

454
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 5: of her goals. Actually, she wanted to help people. And

455
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 5: you know, we told her that her brother told her

456
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: that it was dangerous and that she you know, she

457
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 5: asked him to take her up there and to help

458
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: look for missing girls, and she didn't want to He

459
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 5: didn't want her to do that.

460
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: Of course, the reality is Jason Jensen, that once someone

461
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: is kidnapped and put into sex trafficking, they're gone. They're

462
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: typically taken from the area. Would you agree with that, Oh, yeah.

463
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 10: One hundred percent, I would agree with that. The biggest problem,

464
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 10: the piece of this puzzle that throws me into the

465
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 10: different direction, is the fact that her cell phone was

466
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 10: found near her residence, you know, in a bush that

467
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 10: seems to be states there. And if she's being trafficked,

468
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 10: why go back to the scene of her last known

469
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 10: you know location. It seems to be too convenient to

470
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 10: find the phone near the house.

471
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: And thrown in a bush, in my mind, indicating that

472
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: she had somehow ended up in that river. Guys, the

473
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: search did commence maybe too late. Take a listen to

474
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: our friends at k I R. Seven.

475
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: Chapman Police have wrapped up their search efforts for the day,

476
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: but they plan to be back out here tomorrow. But

477
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: they've combed this entire area we're standing in right now.

478
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: They've even taken their search to the Scadget River, which

479
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: is right over my shoulder here. They've had boats going

480
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 4: up and down. They've even taken their search to the

481
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: skies with drones, and they had a helicopter fly over

482
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 4: here just this afternoon. But right now, family of friends

483
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: who've traveled near and far to search for Mikayles say

484
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 4: they're going to be out here for as long as

485
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 4: it takes.

486
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 12: Time.

487
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace.

488
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: Hik to you Mike had Sel, president founder Peace River

489
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: Canine Search and Rescue. It sounds like they did get

490
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: into the search, but was it too late? She goes

491
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: missing on Friday and it's Tuesday before they really get

492
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: in motion.

493
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 11: Well, at that stage, they're going to run two different

494
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 11: types of dogs. They're going to run the live find

495
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 11: dogs and the cadaver dogs, both they should be anyway.

496
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 11: And then they're going to have the grid teams out

497
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 11: checking the wooded areas looking for anything that they can.

498
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 11: I agree with the other gentleman that the cell phone

499
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 11: is staged. That's pretty common that they go back and

500
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 11: drop something like that.

501
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: Well, who is they?

502
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 11: Well, the criminal elements, and I'll offer my theory that

503
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 11: crime is dumb and a lot of times they do

504
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 11: things that they don't seem to make sense, but to

505
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 11: them it does. And you know, trying to indicate that

506
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 11: she's somehow in the river, but that river is it moves,

507
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 11: but it's fairly shallow. It wouldn't be hard to find

508
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 11: her remains if they were in there.

509
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: So she's not in the river. Would you agree, Mike

510
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Hatseel she's not in the river? If the river is

511
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: effect shallow, they would have found her by now.

512
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 11: Yes, I would agree with that. And I also think,

513
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 11: as far as I can tell, no one's ever searched

514
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 11: the boyfriend's home.

515
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: That is one of my questions. Was the home ever searched?

516
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Because we know this woman twenty five years old now

517
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: twenty six is just before twenty sixth birthday missing since

518
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: she ran out of that house and call nine one one,

519
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: only for her phone line to suddenly go dead, rendering

520
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: local cops unable to find her. According to them, what

521
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: do you know, Nicole Parton, was the home ever searched?

522
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 8: The home was not searched, and even when the search

523
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 8: dogs came out, a gentleman in the home refused to

524
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 8: allow those to come in. The detective did not pursue

525
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 8: searching inside the home early on when that nine to

526
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 8: one one call was made, or even after the fact.

527
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: Erv Miller, that is complete incompetence. They should have gone

528
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: to the home with a search warrant and see they.

529
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 7: Didn't have a consent to search, which would be required

530
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 7: absence of search warrant. And a search warrant should be

531
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 7: done quickly because once as time progresses and information that

532
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 7: could lead to problem to cause become stale and you're

533
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 7: not going to get a search warrant. So that should

534
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 7: have been done asap, as you've said.

535
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: But the reality is it's not too late, knowing what

536
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: we know, I mean, you can still get a search warrant. Oh, absolutely,

537
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: you can still get a search warrant. Now has evidence

538
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: been destroyed if there was any, Probably, But I've learned,

539
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: we've all learned that it's very, very hard to get

540
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: rid of certain evidence. And I'm referring specifically to blood evidence.

541
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 10: That's very true.

542
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 7: And I've actually participated in searches of apartments so with

543
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 7: forensic teams from the Chicago Police Department that the apartment

544
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 7: looked pristine to the naked eye. But there's certain ways

545
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 7: that forensic teams have ways to determine if there has

546
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 7: been blood there, if there had been any type of

547
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 7: efforts to remove the blood from the scene. Even using

548
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 7: bleach doesn't necessarily totally eliminate the law enforcement abilities took.

549
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: It needs something more like myriadic acid. Bleach doesn't cut it,

550
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: something like a black swan. Myriadic acid does the trick.

551
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 2: Marty Martine joining me, this is Mikhaila's aunt. Was that

552
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: home ever searched?

553
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, they did. They did do a search on the

554
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 5: boyfriend's residence. It was later on. It wasn't immediate. I

555
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 5: don't know exactly what they took out of there, but

556
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 5: they did go in there after. I know it was

557
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 5: at least a week the day that we all showed

558
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 5: up there.

559
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 10: Though.

560
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: The boyfriend had an ex girlfriend in the home who

561
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 5: is a professional house cleaner, which was really odd to us.

562
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: A professional house cleaner in the home. Yeah, okay, what

563
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: we know. Mikaela Standridge Beautiful Blue Eyes is about one

564
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: hundred pounds, a tiny little slip of a girl, and

565
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: leaving behind this now twenty six year old mom is

566
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: a three year old little boy. This is eerily reminiscent

567
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: of the case of Michelle Russ. Take a listen our

568
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: cut seven wmar.

569
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 13: Michelle Russ disappeared on the day of what was supposed

570
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 13: to be her son's third birthday party. Her husband told

571
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 13: police she left their Hailthorpe home to go to the

572
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 13: store that morning. Later that day, Michelle's nineteen ninety eight

573
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 13: green Dodge caravan was found along a street by Hillcrest

574
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 13: Park in nearby Lansdown.

575
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 12: The key actually was in the driver's side door broken

576
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 12: off inside of that caravan when it was found. Neighbors

577
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 12: in the area were questioned about anything that they may

578
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 12: have seen, and unfortunately, nobody saw anything relating to how

579
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 12: that van got there and more.

580
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 13: As far as what happened to the twenty four year

581
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 13: old missing mom after that. Baltimore County Police Corporal Donna

582
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 13: Carter explains why detectives believe Michelle fell victim to foul play.

583
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 12: Her credit cards were never used, there was no age activity,

584
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 12: her checking account never had checks written against it, so

585
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 12: foul play was assumed. Also, she was diabetic, and she

586
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 12: was a devoted mother, so it just doesn't make sense.

587
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: That case a Michelle never found. It goes on and

588
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: on and on. Here's another victim. Take a listen to

589
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: our cut thirteen WRCB.

590
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 14: She had so many dreams. She wanted to be a

591
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 14: marine biologist and she got detoured. I think the answers

592
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 14: will come out on the people that's involved.

593
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 9: We just don't understand exactly what happened, you know, just

594
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 9: where it went wrong.

595
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 15: He's Lynn was last known to be at the Flying

596
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 15: Jay truck stop in Resaca, Georgia. That's where police found

597
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 15: her car. Inside were her keys, her book bag, and

598
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 15: her wallet, but she was nowhere to be found.

599
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: Keys and Roberts to this day not found. And what

600
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: about Gretchen Fleming? Take a listen our cut fifteen WCCHS.

601
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 16: The Parkersburg Police Department is asking for your help in

602
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 16: finding twenty seven year old Gretchen Fleming of Vienna. Detectives

603
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 16: say she was last seeing the night of December third

604
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 16: and fourth, but relatives didn't realize she was gone quickly

605
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 16: and did not report it until this week. Police located

606
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 16: her purse and phone, amping up concern. Detectives have worked

607
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 16: around the clock since then to cultivate information, and the

608
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 16: public has really stepped up in regard to tip and.

609
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: Of course, Jane Johnson coming from a small area much

610
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 2: like Concrete, Washington, where the neighbors say nothing like that

611
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: ever happens here. Take a listen to our cut nineteen.

612
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: Our friends at kr QE.

613
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 15: People just don't go missing like that around here.

614
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 17: They've spent months searching all around Lincoln County looking for

615
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 17: any clues to tell the hundreds of volunteers what may

616
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 17: have happened Gene Johnson.

617
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 8: I mean, he just kind of shook everybody up a

618
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 8: little bit, like who.

619
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 10: You know who would do this?

620
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 5: And what did they do?
