When the Texas Rangers called me on this search, 28 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I actually met with a family Saturday morning and one 29 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: aunt said that she felt that they were all murdered. 30 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: The other aunt said, no, they're not being murdered. They're 31 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: they're being held for some reason or another. And then 32 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: we talked to the Texas Rangers and then they called 33 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: us and said, listen, we've got an area. We once 34 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: you all out there, asked and if you have any 35 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: sisters bring him, which we've had. We had four sisters. 36 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: And then we got out there, met with the de 37 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: Texas and when we were actually digging in that hole, 38 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Nancy Uh, when we was bringing debris out of that hole, 39 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: it would literally catch on fire. And apparently what he 40 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: did is he? Uh, he dug a hole. He murdered 41 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: the three of them. Of course, he dug the hole, 42 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: put their bodies in it, and a little bone fragments 43 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: and stuff we're finding. He literally with that back hole 44 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: just crushed and cut their body up, then set it 45 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: on fire. He put tires on there because tires bins 46 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: were very hot. Then he put tires on there the 47 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: next day and the next day and then covered it up, 48 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: and so you know then and that was the last 49 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: time I believe he put the tires in and was burning. 50 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: Was Wednesday, and then satty, Like I said, it was 51 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: still so hot that when we was digging stuff out 52 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: and would start flaming again and have put it out 53 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: with a fire extinguisher. Tim Miller with Texas Equisearch is 54 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: with me describing how he, you know, blood sweat and tears, 55 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: trying to locate the bodies of three missing including a 56 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: five year old little boy we now know killed, body burned. 57 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Tim Miller off Texas Equisearch, devoting his life to finding 58 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: missing people. It's hard for me to to envision, Tim Miller, 59 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: what you're saying. How you were digging, digging, digging, and 60 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: as you would dig deep down under the earth, debris 61 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: would come up still burning. What led you to that 62 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: particular spot, Tim Miller, Well, the Texas land has actually 63 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: led us to the spot. And I'm gonna say beplain 64 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 1: warton County Sriffs Department Texas rank because they did an 65 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: excellent job on their investigative then, and of course we 66 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: know the suspect was very very familiar with that property. 67 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: And uh, and again I can't say enough about the 68 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: investigators on this case. And it was, you know, it 69 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: was trying the best out there. It was emotional. I 70 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: mean when we shifting and finding bones and they brought 71 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: the anthropologists out there, and then she had a carp 72 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: and and the one one area the tar pit was 73 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: adult male bones and next area was adult female and 74 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: then of course the next one was child phones. And uh, 75 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: you know the when you see these little crushed up 76 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: bones and partial parts of skull and you're sifting your 77 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: fine little chief. Um, you know, we're still here and 78 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: Nancy and uh, you know a little bit choked up 79 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: right now. We're the families. What they was going through 80 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: and then finding their loved ones and being involved in 81 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: a kind of things like this. It's a it takes 82 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: a toll on it. I can say that, and you 83 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: know I just just when you think you see it all. 84 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: I think I can doing this for eighteen years and 85 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: I'd plus cases. Just when you think you see it all, Uh, 86 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: then you're involved in something like this. You know what 87 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: hurts me to him when I look at when I 88 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: look at these three in life for Shawn Hudson, Maya Rivera, 89 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: and they're just beautiful. Little boy Rashawn Jr. Just five 90 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: years old. I mean, Tim, you and I've been working 91 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: together since before my children were born, and they are 92 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: now ten years old. Tim, my son is a little 93 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: bit taller than me. And I just last night, you know, 94 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: we were having um, this big casserole I made for supper, 95 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 1: chicken and broccoli, and they were talking about what movie 96 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: we were gonna watch after and I was reading the 97 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: news and I look at this family and it just 98 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: breaks my heart of all the joy they will never have. 99 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: And when I look at them, I mean, the mom 100 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: is so pretty, and the dad when I'm looking at 101 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: a picture right now of him holding the little boy 102 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: up to him, he looks just like his dad. It 103 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: just breaks my heart is I'm looking at these beautiful 104 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: photos of them. And I'm hearing you describe the tiny 105 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: fragments of bone and and the the cover up, the 106 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: putting the tires on top of the bodies. You know, 107 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: that's a common theme, Tim Miller, Um, because I was 108 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: thinking back on the Stephen Every case. You know, the 109 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: guy that murdered the photographer to raise the hall back, 110 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: he was putting tires on top of the body and 111 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: had created a fire pit of sorts. Tim, what is 112 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: the why do people use tires? Because they burn slow, 113 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: and they burn extremely hot, and uh, and it keeps it. 114 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: It keeps the heat for a long time. And and 115 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: even if we covered it up, uh with the dirt, 116 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: and it just keeps smolder and smaller and smaller for 117 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: a long period of time. Like I said, I'm sad. 118 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: When he was digging stuff up, it would us back 119 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: out in flames. So when we was digging up, the 120 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: dirt was hot, the course of the bones were hot, 121 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: and um, you know. And and the other thing about 122 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: this fancy is that for Ray Senior, the dad was 123 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: friends with the suspect. There was times when the suspect 124 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: was kind of down on the luck. Ray Shawn would 125 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: let him come to his house instead. At his house 126 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: he went loaning money and they were friends. They were 127 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: actually friends, and I got all that information from this family. 128 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: And but the family also said at the brace, La 129 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Mora didn't like the idea that they want friends. He 130 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: thought there was just something strange about this guy. And 131 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: of course, now here's the here's a here's a man 132 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: that helped us buy out every time he was down 133 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: and out, and then he was suparted by an emerging family, 134 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: which adds even more um bitterness to the story that 135 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: the victims were actually helping him. Take a listen to 136 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: what Maya Rivera's mother, Francis says, I sat here in 137 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: this chair for the last and I don't know how 138 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: many days just staring at that front door, probably have 139 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: function in thirty minutes and sleeping, you know, because we 140 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: hadn't heard anything Tuesday and Wednesday morning, I'd already had assistance. 141 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: It's not right, something, it's not right. We all were like, 142 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: at least the baby, at least baby ran his life 143 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: was stolen. When I found out the skeleton remains, like, 144 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: how do you burn their bodies? I'm like, oh, I 145 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: want justice. The last time I saw he said to me, cousin, 146 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: I love you, and I said I love you too. Man. 147 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: That was always him. Every time me and him left 148 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: each other's presence, he said, I love you. Um, that's 149 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: a that's a good memory. It just breaks my heart 150 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: to hear them. That's Maya's mother, Francis and Rashaun Hudson's cousin, 151 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: Austin Jonas trying to come to terms with the loss 152 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: of his very close relative and the family of three. 153 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: With Me, a man who has dedicated his life to 154 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: finding missing people.

Maya's mother told the Houston Chronicle 187 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: that quote, he loved making people feel comfortable and relaxed. 188 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: She truly sounded like a beautiful human being who was 189 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: changing her life and the world one day at a time. 190 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: And then came this dreadful day. Last Monday, friends and 191 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: family had gathered at a park to celebrate Ray Shawn 192 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: Jr's fifth birthday with cake and ice cream.

And if you can imagine, the family's loved 197 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: ones grew extremely concerned. And as this the days passed, 198 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: they understand, and Blee became more and more anxious. And 199 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: that is where Robert Staderfield comes in from what Tim 200 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: Miller said. Tim Miller of Texas ex Search, he was 201 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: a friend of rage Sean Sr. He let him say 202 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: at his house during tough times, he loaned money, things 203 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: like that. And last Thursday morning, the family's car was 204 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: reported stolen and Robert was picked up in Rosenberg by 205 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: police in that same car. When authorities authorities questioned him, 206 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, why do you have this car, he claimed 207 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: that it was so he could get back and forth 208 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: from work and that Ray Shawn had loaned him the car. 209 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: When he was interviewed, and Tim Miller, you know, knows 210 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: about this, and it's talked a little more about it. 211 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: It sounds like he panicked when detective talks about being 212 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: able to opinion him, and you know, the technology is 213 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: available these days.

So this family 296 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: has a long journey ahead of them before their lovedoings 297 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: are even positively identified.

Once they assemble the bones, if they can, 325 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: then since they've been charred, oh no, since they have 326 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: been charred, since they've been charged to this extent, I 327 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: don't know what DNA is left in the bones. I 328 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: hear you talking Tim, you explained to me the condition 329 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: of the remains.

And I just could never imagine 333 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: bodies being burnt that bad. Like she said, there's you 334 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: learn in a human body, so you know we should 335 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: have bones. We don't have anything close to that, Nancy, 336 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: we don't have anything close to that. The identification of 337 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: extremely burnt human remains by genetic fingerprinting DNA is a 338 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: common task because so often um people try desperately to 339 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: cover up their crimes by burning the bodies, but rarely 340 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: can they burn the bodies to the extent these three 341 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: bodies have been burned. DNA extractor from burnt bone fragments 342 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: is going to be highly degraded. Now, what you do 343 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: when you do a d N a comparison is you amplify, 344 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: you replicate the DNA you've got until you can make 345 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: a comparison, a comparison to what that's when you go 346 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: into the home and you get the toothbrush, you get 347 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: the drinking glasses, you get the hair brush. To look 348 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: for nuclei roots in the hair to compare to whatever 349 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: DNA you can extract, that's not going to be the problem. 350 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: You could also get familial DNA from the believed victims 351 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: parents family, mitochondrial DNA from their mother. We already have 352 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: the one mother speaking out. We know we can get 353 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: mitochondrial DNA. The problem is can you extract DNA from 354 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: burnt burnt black, burnt blue gray, burnt blue, gray, white, 355 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: burnt bones. That is going to be the problem. Plenty 356 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: DNA to compare it to, but extracting it, how do 357 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: you do that? Think about when you have a fire, 358 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: a fire, you're you're grilling hot dogs, you're you're camping 359 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: with your children, and the ashes burning, burning, burn, and 360 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: nothing is left but charred, blue, gray, or white remains. 361 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 1: That is what they are looking at. There is a 362 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: way to do it. The results may vary. They may 363 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: have to rely on circumstantial evidence. Tim Miller, what else, 364 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: if anything was found at the scene, I mean that 365 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: was it? The In fact, the back that she used 366 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: was the basically a relative from what I understand of 367 00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: his best suspect has twins children and the grandfriend grandfather 368 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: on that property. The backpole was actually on that property. 369 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: So you know, he used the back hole that was 370 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: that was on that property, and then from what I understand, 371 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: the grandfather actually threw him off of that property. Tim 372 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: were skulls found? Uh, skulls? You know? One piece of 373 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: skull was found that appeared to him a little bit 374 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: with the answer probered to send a little bit of brain. 375 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: But it was a small, small piece, maybe two inches 376 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: two inches. Like I said, it appears as though he 377 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: took that buck into that back hole, crushed and crushed 378 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: and crushed. Wow. So he did not only burn the 379 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: bodies but allegedly crushed them with the back COO. You know, 380 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: in cases where bodies have been burnt, very often you 381 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: fall back au dental records. That's why I asked, what 382 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: were there any skulls into you're telling me no, we 383 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: probably we found probably three maybe four bones that were 384 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: more than three inches long. That's how bad it was crushed. 385 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: That's how bad it was burned. When I say bone fragments, 386 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean so you're not going to have any enough 387 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 1: teeth to make a dental comparison. There's likely not going 388 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: to be a DNA comparison. Although that soft tissue you 389 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: mentioned is the possibility you can't get fingerprints in any way. 390 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: There's not gonna be tissue to use, so it's going 391 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: to be extremely difficult. If the charring had only been 392 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: on the surface of the body, so just when an 393 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: accelerant is used, that would be okay. We could still 394 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: make an I D. But this sounds like crematory like temperatures. 395 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: So I'm rapidly thinking as quickly as I can, Tim Miller, 396 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: this is going to be a circumstantial case. Tell me 397 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: about the area where the bodies were found, Tim Miller, 398 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: and what it was like when you first went to 399 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: the scene. What you observed A huge jerry. I don't 400 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: know how many there's lots are because there's two mobile 401 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: homes kind of like up front, and then a gravel 402 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: road that goes down and goes down a little kill 403 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: and h and he's got cows out there in that property, 404 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: and that's where he dug the hole, and minute to 405 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: go back another probably half a mile. There's another little 406 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: kind of metal building out there that's got some electricity 407 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: in it, but it's extremely isolated where he did it. 408 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: Of course, he couldn't be seen. Um you know, how 409 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: he got in there and did all this with a 410 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: grandfather on that property. I don't know. I'd be willing 411 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: to bet this is not the primary crime scene. I 412 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: bet he. I put money on it that he murdered 413 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: this family dad, first, mother's second child, third at a 414 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: different location and brought the bodies there. Now, the reason 415 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm bringing no part of the investigation is I think 416 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: this time answer tell me no. I think evidence is 417 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: going to lead that they were murdered that property. How 418 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: did he lure them there? You know I can't go 419 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: in to investigate a uh you know that will come up. Well, 420 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: let me go to Jennifer Zakowski, Crime online dot Com reporter. 421 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: The reason I thought this to be a secondary crime scene, 422 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: i e. Where he disposed of the bodies is how 423 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: would you lure an entire family out there? Because that 424 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense to me. But Tim has been 425 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: on the scene. He knows their friends friends, Jennifer, what 426 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: do you know? They were friends side? They are friends, 427 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: And the circumstances of how the family ended up on 428 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: the land they aren't really known at this time. Unfortunately, 429 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: though it sounds like they have may have been meeting 430 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: up with Robert Saderfield again, you know, for reasons unknown. 431 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: But they were friends, so meeting would not have been 432 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: so unusual. But what that meeting was about, we just 433 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: don't know yet, So possibly luring them out there for 434 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: a meeting. Um. A few, very few teeth have been found, 435 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: according to Tim Miller, joining us from Texas EQ with 436 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: search now, teeth typically offer great potential to get d 437 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: N a sampling. Um, what you do is you go 438 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: to the very center of the tooth for DNA while 439 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: the outside may be burned to a charred on the 440 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: center of the tooth very often you can find d NA. Again, 441 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: If that doesn't exist here, we're gonna have to fall 442 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: back on circumstantial evidence that these are their bodies. What 443 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: will that be? Yes, I'm sorry for they lost, you know, 444 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: I hope the real persons found And um, you know, 445 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: I pray and I and I'm grief strip striking with 446 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: him as well. Um, and why not seem like I'm 447 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,239 Speaker 1: going through a whole another storm myself. But you know 448 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: I feel that pain. Did you can't? Ray Sean Maya 449 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: and Ray Shawan Jr. I just said I did not 450 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: do it? Now, why were you in her heart? Um? 451 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: It was agreement that we had and they came. They 452 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: were going out of town. They came and had another vehicle. Um, 453 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: they put the things out of the silver about out 454 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: of the grabber and put it in the black vehicle, 455 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: and UM, I was gonna use that vehicle to go 456 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: see my son in Dallas. This past weekend, you were 457 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: hearing the voice of person of interest, Robert Saderfield and 458 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: the brutal death of a beautiful young mom, her little 459 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: five year old bull boy, and the husband, Rashawn Senior, 460 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: all dead. They didn't show up for the five year 461 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: old birthday party at a local park, complete with birthday cake, 462 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: ice cream, balloons, the works. Everybody was actually gathered there waiting. 463 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: They didn't show up. Their bodies, we believe, were found 464 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: burned and buried with us. Tim Miller from Texas Equisearch, 465 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: who says that as he was performing the dig uh, 466 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: debris will come up still burning. Patricia Saunders joining me 467 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: were now New York psychologist listening to Robert Centerfield, who 468 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: is the police target right now. He seems to have 469 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: an answer for everything, even driving the dead mom's car, 470 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: and he he just says it's so easily just rolls 471 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: off his tongue pat where it's the ease with which 472 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: he says that that um maybe ion in the fact 473 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: that this man has no empathy, no compassion, and no guilt. Um. 474 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Obviously he prepared his story, but maybe dealing with a 475 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: Homi satal psychopath. You know what's interesting, Tim Miller from 476 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: Texas Psycho Search telling us that they had befriended center Field, 477 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: They helped him out. Uh, they loaned him money, They 478 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: were trying to give him a hand, Tim Miller, what 479 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: more do you know about that aspect of this investigation. Well, 480 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: the aunt told me Saturday morning when when he was 481 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: pulled over in the car and they asked him what 482 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: he was doing driving a car. He said, well, they 483 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: loaned me the car to get back and forth and work, 484 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: and then they drove away in uh Ra sans black Hub. Well, 485 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: but little did they know that Rayel unfortunately got an 486 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: accident three weeks prior to that in the Milish So 487 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: we're alive. The first words was picked up for but 488 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: we know also Francis Rivera, who was just speaking this. 489 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Maya's mother says she grows grew worried the week before 490 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: when the three didn't show up for a Shawn Junior's 491 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: fifth birthday party. They're in the park with cake and 492 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: ice cream that she can't stand and think of the 493 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: wise and the winds regarding their death, I e. The details, 494 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: and she hopes to bury the three of them together 495 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: once the remains are officially identified to Detective Christine menina Um, 496 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: former Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detective, what do we 497 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: do now, Christine?

Were identification was going to be 500 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: so difficult, and I have to agree with you, it's 501 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: going to be a circumstantial It'll be interesting to get 502 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: more information about the suspects that was friends and and 503 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of developed that relationship and see, you know why 504 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: why they were there And at first, uh like what 505 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: you said, Nancy, I kind of agree that at the 506 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: time probably happened somewhere else and they were reinsported. But 507 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: with what Tim is saying, there's obviously a little bit 508 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: more information of why they got there. I mean, did 509 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: he say he had a birthday gift for him?

Probably. It's that 515 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: based on the information that Jim was kind of described 516 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: me today, and just try to give something right to 517 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: the family.

I mean, 523 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I don't think this get me work, and I do. 524 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: You think you've seen it all, you know, and then 525 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: you get a case like this.

Yes, 534 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: Robert Saderfield from what you just said and the things 535 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: that he said regarding this family, to me, that describes 536 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: a psychopath. And when you look at his criminal history, 537 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: that could very well be his Court records show a 538 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: fifteen year criminal history for Robert that includes theft, assault, 539 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: avating the arrest, and terroristic threat charges. So this is 540 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: not his first rodeo with the law. Wow, do you 541 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: hear that?

Tim Miller, I'm just trying to 544 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: imagine you you going onto that scene. How did you 545 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: go about conducting the dig? To start with? Well, the 546 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: detectives were there when we got there, and they had 547 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: one sifter that they was sifting through, and then we 548 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: brought four other sifters, and uh, what is a sifter? Well, 549 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: let's actually when we showed the dirt into a screen basically, 550 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: and then we shake it and the dirt falls out 551 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: and then a bigger pieces stay in and so actually 552 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: had our hands and there sinking through the stuff and 553 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: then picking up the little bones giving them to the anthropologists, 554 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: and then watching her try to put things back together. 555 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: And and again it was when you've seen the three 556 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 1: little piles was trying to put back together, and then 557 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: the the baby piles, the child piles. It was like, 558 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's this really really is this really happy? 559 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: I mean? And you know what again, when I left 560 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: it just having like tears out of my eyes and 561 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: and just say, oh my god. You know, there's family 562 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: is now going through the worst time I could ever 563 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: go through. How do they get through a grieving process 564 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: such as this and and such a neatly such a 565 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: close family doing trail rights and horses and um, you know, 566 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: a love and family? I don't they love and family? 567 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: After meeting the other family members, and you know that's 568 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: not always the case. You know, you don't see very 569 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,240 Speaker 1: many functional families in the world today, and I certainly 570 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: considered them as one. And uh uh, you know, how 571 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: do you have words? I mean, there's no for comfort 572 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: you can even give this family right now, except like 573 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: you say, Nancy, we feel their pain. Uh, we've been there, 574 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: we know what they're going through. But again there's there's 575 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: no words of comfort. All we can do is just 576 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: through difficult time experience in my life. It's amazing to me, 577 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: Tim Miller, that as you were digging, as you were 578 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,959 Speaker 1: sifting to try to find these bodies, that debris would 579 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: come up still burning. And another fact that I know 580 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: is this witness, Henry Floyd's senior states that he noticed 581 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: something strange that suddenly this guy, Robert Centerfield, had a 582 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 1: brand new car or new to him, and that he 583 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: observed center Field burning trash for a really long time 584 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: and thought it was suspicious that he should still be 585 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: burning trash, that it was still going on. You know, 586 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: it takes an incredibly long time for a human body 587 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: to earn in its entirety, and I'd be willing to 588 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: put money on that's exactly what he was doing out there. 589 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: This witness says he sees Centerfield in the missing Mom's 590 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: car and said, where'd you get the car? And center 591 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: Field responds, quote, I'm using it for a while now 592 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 1: right there. Patricia Saunders, New York Psychologists, he wouldn't answer. 593 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: He didn't answer. He just said I'm using it for 594 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: a while. He didn't say where he got it? Uh, 595 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: did he buy it? Did? Where did he buy it? Nothing? 596 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: He gave a very vague answer. And I find that 597 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: telling Patricia Saunders psychopaths aren't necessarily very smart, but ad 598 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: And that's world professionals, and you guys have seen a 599 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: lot more than I have. It's something I learned asking 600 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 1: nine eleven, is that anybody caregivers Texas Core Investigators, um, 601 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: Tim Miller, we only a little bit ways of plettle 602 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: of steaming trauma debriefing, and it's something that really needs 603 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: to be funded for any kind of lacrossing person. Right now, 604 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: we know Patricia, Jennifer Christine Tim that he has been charged, 605 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: but the case will not hold up unless those bodies 606 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: can be identified. Unless there's circumstantial evidence to prove circumstantially 607 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: that these are the victims, Tim Miller, Texas equ Research. 608 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: They're on the scene, having been part of the recovery 609 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: and the dig the excavation. Do you get the sense 610 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: without revealing police information, do you get the sense they're 611 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: going to be able to prove these are the three victims? 612 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: I think they're going to do with the very best effort. 613 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, technology has come a long ways. Uh, 614 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, there was some bone marrow in some of 615 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: these phones, and I anticipate they will be identified that 616 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be a long time.
