Speaker 1: this is Maddie's boyfriend and right now to Mattie's mom,

54
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Melissa Bell. Melissa, thank you for being with us. Thank

55
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: you so much. I appreciate this so much. Miss Bell, Well,

56
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: you appreciate you being here. Thank you. Tell me what

57
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: you recall the moment you heard Mattie was not where

58
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: she was supposed to be well. I'm the one that

59
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: discovered that Maddie was very I raised this girl to

60
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: be very like. She was always reaching out to me,

61
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: trusted in me, you know, always checking in with me.

62
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: She knew I would worry. She's my only child. I

63
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: knew when a certain amount of time had passed, because

64
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: it was way more time than what was needed to

65
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: drive to hand and back. And if she was going

66
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: to be late, she would have texted me that. And

67
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: that's consistent through her ever since she got her license.

68
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: No matter even if she was with her faint cousins

69
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, she would always text me, I'm gonna be late, mom,

70
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: don't worry. I'm gonna be five minutes late. So after

71
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: forty five minutes pass, I've started to like think, while

72
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: she should be home, you know, she should be coming

73
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: home soon. But then I thought, no, you know, ease up.

74
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: She's eighteen. Maybe she had to wait, or maybe she

75
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: fell asleep in the painting bed. So I give it

76
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: more time. And when I say more time, I'm saying

77
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: like minutes, so you know, five, ten, fifteen minutes, and

78
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: I just immediately after I tried to start texting. After

79
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes pass, approximately I start texting her, Mattie, Mattie,

80
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: and then I said, Maddie, did you fall asleep? Because

81
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: the day before she said she had fallen asleep in

82
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: the painting bed, So that was my first did she

83
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: fell asleep? And she didn't answer anything. I tried to call.

84
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: She didn't answer. That's so unlike her, Melissa. I got

85
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: a couple of pointed questions to ask you with me.

86
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Mattie's mom, Melissa Bell, also with me, her longtime boyfriend

87
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Cody Mann, and Emily Nestor, crime reporter. Back to Mattie's mom,

88
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: miss Bell, you stated that she had been gone several

89
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: minutes longer than you thought she should have been. Quick question,

90
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: how close to your home where you live with Maddie?

91
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: How close was the Tan Salon? Approximately? Maybe? Is it

92
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: five miles out there? Five miles? Ten minutes? Max? Yeah,

93
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you said you cut out on me. You said she

94
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: was how many minutes late? Did you say twenty five

95
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: minutes or so? She had been gone forty five minutes

96
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: before I started to like, at forty five minutes, I

97
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: started to worry because it's a twenty minute bed, you know,

98
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: ten minutes, ten minutes, And I started to just kind

99
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: of like not worry but get I was like, ohom,

100
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: she should be coming home, you know at forty five minutes.

101
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Can I tell you just yesterday my son went fishing

102
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and you know, of course made sure he made it.

103
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: He sent me a picture. Then after an hour I

104
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: was doing the same thing. You just said, he's up. Yeah,

105
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I let him go. But after an hour I started

106
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: calling and texting because you know, I was worried. So

107
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: that's just what you did. Now, did she call the

108
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Tanning Salon? I did not, because Manison has always answers.

109
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: She always answers or text me always. Never has she

110
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: not responded that. Did she ever make it to the

111
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Tanning salon? No not, according to surveillance footage. The surveillance

112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: fittish at the Tanning Salon. But yeah, that they caught

113
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: of the parking lot. They did not see her car

114
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: ever pull in there. Okay, that day you just got

115
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: me past my next question. I was wondering if she

116
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: ever came in. Certainly they would know if she came in, right, Yeah,

117
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: they had a sign and she and she did not,

118
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: So she never made it. Now to Emily nest Or

119
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Crime Reporter podcast, has Mile marker one eighty one. Emily

120
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: tell me about where her car was found. So her

121
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: car was found really in close proximity to where this

122
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: tanning bed is, and this tanning this tanning salon is

123
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: actually part of almost like a convenience store that sits

124
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: in a fork in the road where two roads meet.

125
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: And on that state route road there there is a

126
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: large church with a large lot that wraps around and

127
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: that lot has two ways to get in and out.

128
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Let me process what you're saying, large church, two ways

129
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: in and what were you saying about the tanning salon.

130
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: Tanning salon isn't just a tanning establishment. So you've got

131
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: an assortment of things. I actually went in there last night.

132
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: They saw everything from beer to cheesecake. There's a little

133
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: deli counter and then there's tanning in the back. Gotcha

134
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: where is ada in relation to the church. It's adjacent.

135
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: It sits across the roadway in a fork in the road.

136
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Fork in the road. Okay, so on the other side

137
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: of the fort or in the middle of the fort

138
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: in the middle actually, so really just across the street. Yes,

139
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's within shouting distance. Gosh, guys, take a

140
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: listen to our phrase at WLWT five. This is Karen Johnson. Beautiful,

141
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful, very responsible. Nettie Bell described by relatives as

142
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: a good girl full of school spirit. She's the cheer

143
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: captain at Greenfield's McLean High School, and her mother, Melissa Bell,

144
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: says her daughter was looking forward to this week. This

145
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: was senior week. She would not have missed these events

146
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: for anything. Yesterday morning, around ten o'clock, Mattie left her

147
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: home to go tanning here at the Country Corner Market,

148
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: not far from her Greenfield home. She'd ever made it

149
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: there that morning. She did not sign in. The two

150
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,239
Speaker 1: mornings before that she did, but that morning video surveillance

151
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: doesn't show her car making it to the tanning area.

152
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: When she didn't return home or answer her mother's tech

153
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: store phone calls, Melissa says she went looking for her

154
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: daughter and spotted her car in the parking lot of

155
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: the Good Shepherd Church, which is across the street from

156
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: the market. I noticed her phone laying in the car,

157
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: her keys are in the ignition, and money that she

158
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: had in the pull out thing was still there, and

159
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: the car was unlocked. Mattie was nowhere to be found.

170
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: and longtime boyfriend Cody Man Cody, would she have left

171
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: her cell phone in the car? No, she would not have.

172
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: Let me just ask your point blank, where were you

173
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: at the time she went missing? Sleeping on our couch?

174
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Sleeping on what couch? Nick said, Mattie's house. So you

175
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: were there with the mom? Correct? Yeah, because I live

176
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: here with them, right. So when she left, was there

177
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: anything unusual about her behavior her demeanor? No? I mean

178
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: she was all spunk like she always was. Did you

179
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: try to reach her? Yes? I did, and we had

180
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: no answer at all. I tried calling twice to Madison

181
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: Bill's mom, joining me Melissa, it's my understanding she's never

182
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: been away overnight or for any period of time without

183
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: you knowing where she was. That's absolutely good, Melissa, tell

184
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: me about how you found the car. Well, when we

185
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: didn't get any answer from her by call or text,

186
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I immediately was just like I knew something that's wrong

187
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: because she would not that's not her. So it's not

188
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: that far. I thought, I'm just gonna go and drive

189
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: and make sure, because on the way to this market

190
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: there's some like areas that are like really deep feets

191
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: that she could have maybe wrecked. We didn't know, you know,

192
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking, once she was sleeping at Hanning beds,

193
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: did we leave and drive? And we first thought maybe

194
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: she was in an accident or asleep, so we're looking

195
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: for anything signs like that. We didn't see anything. As

196
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: soon as we approached close to the church where we

197
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: could see the lot, we noticed, I mean, we're not

198
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: looking there. I'm looking more like right at country corner,

199
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: but you can't miss it. And her boyfriend said, there's

200
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: her car. And I looked over and it was just

201
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: sitting there in an empty parking lot. No one else

202
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: was there. Church was closed because of the quarantine, and

203
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: I believe they would been like the online saying, so

204
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: no one was there except her car. Can I ask you,

205
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Melissa Belle, how police brought out tracker dogs. I don't

206
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: believe that it was the police. I mean they may have,

207
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know that the people that brought the

208
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: tracker dogs would have been the rest you the church

209
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: and rescue company that are at the command center and

210
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: working along with them. And what if anything that did

211
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: the dogs suggest? I have not been told they're like

212
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I have not that no one has released any that

213
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: information of what they found. Okay, what about surveillance camera video?

214
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Were any of the cameras at Country Market across the

215
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: street trained in a position where they'd catch what was

216
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: happening in the church parking lot? According to what I know,

217
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: the only video surveillance that their cameras were able to

218
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: get it was the picture of that Highland County Sheriff's

219
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Department release I believe yesterday of the car. Now, are

220
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: you referring to your daughter's car or a white knee

221
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: solid California license plate? Gotcha? To Emily Nestor, Crime reporter

222
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: podcast host Mile Marker one eighty one, what can you

223
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: tell me about this vehicle with California license plates a

224
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: white Nissan UM. Well, we we aren't able to see

225
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: anything significant through the windows, is the first thing. And

226
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: it is a four door UM. I think it's important

227
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: to emphasize to you know, while it likely is a

228
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Nissan UM, if you're out there on the roadway, especially

229
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: in Ohio, we're in the nearby surrounding states, you know,

230
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: please keep your eyes open, you know, for a Nissan

231
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: look alike as well. Let me understand to you, Cheryl McCollum, Director,

232
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Coal Case Research Institute and crime scene expert, what's your

233
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: understanding of the white Nisana California plates, the location, the behavior,

234
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: what do you make of this information? Well, the first

235
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: thing that struck me was the location where the car

236
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: was first seen by a witness, which which the suspect

237
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: car the California plate. Okay, go ahead. So it's in

238
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: the charge parking lot. Number one has dummy cameras, not

239
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: real cameras, and number two there's no service there because,

240
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: like the mom already said, because the quarantine, there's really

241
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: nobody there. So this car is not at the strip

242
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: mall that's got people and cameras. They're at a place

243
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: where they're not going to be seen and also with

244
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: their ten and windows. So what you've got to try

245
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: to find out now is was this V sign with

246
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: the California play stolen? Is it owned by the perpetrator

247
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: or was it rented. It's really hard for me to

248
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: take in that nobody can get a plate number because

249
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: at red lights on businesses home security camera. Does everybody

250
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: remember Molly Tibbets who was jogging and a home security

251
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: camera caught her just briefly jogging by the driveway and

252
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: then they saw a car going back and forth and

253
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: back and forth along the same stretch and the car

254
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: had I guess scratches or some identifiable marker on it,

255
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: and they found the car and that's how they found

256
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: the purp that took Molly. So let me understand to

257
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: Emily nest Or, crime reporter and podcast host, what do

258
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: we know of any potential video surveillance in the area.

259
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollough just told us the church has dummy cameras,

260
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: which is dumb, but other surveillance video. So why I

261
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: didn't understand when I pulled into Greenfield, Ohio, was how

262
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: rural this area truly is. I come from a small

263
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: town in West Virginia. But I had no idea this

264
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: is a this is a village, this is like thirty

265
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: five hundred people. So there aren't you know, a ton

266
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: of cameras everywhere to be able to access like you

267
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: would in a higher populated area. So I think at

268
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: this point our best pances of getting good footage is

269
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: going to come from things like ringing doorbells or blink

270
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: cameras that people have on their actual homes. And I

271
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: know that they have been going through some of that,

272
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: but unfortunately, the way that the house is normally sit

273
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: on the road, you need not grab that license state

274
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: because the way that the car is going to be

275
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: angled as it passes. Let me go to James Shelnut

276
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: twenty seven years met your major case to take your

277
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: swat officer, Now, lawyer, what do you make of it?

278
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: The fact I don't think she went anywhere willingly, James,

279
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: because let's just pretend for a moment she was meeting

280
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: somebody behind her boyfriend and her mom's back. Should take

281
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: her cell phone. She would not leave her wallet, her

282
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: money in her cell phone in her car where the

283
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: car doors open. That wouldn't happen, So take it from there, James, Yeah,

284
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I agree, and I'm on tread lightly here because I

285
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: know we do that the family on the line. But

286
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, the first thing that came to my mind

287
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: is is either she drove the car or there, or

288
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: she didn't drive the car there. Okay, if she drove

289
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: the car there, to me, there's no damage that I'm

290
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: aware of that was on the car. So it wasn't

291
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: like somebody bumped her and she pulled in the church

292
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: parking lot. She's right there, close to where she said

293
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: that she was going. But she pulled into a parking

294
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: spaces cars, not indidigitalous like it was voluntarily pulled in there.

295
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: I would be very curious as to who she was

296
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: meeting at that church, because that seems like a likely scenario.

297
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: If she was meeting someone voluntarily at that church, it's

298
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: possible that that person could have got out of the

299
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: car and came to her window and pointed some type

300
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: of weapon at her. As possible that she could have

301
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: got out of her car voluntarily with the intent of

302
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: getting back in it and got into the car with

303
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: someone and then things got out of control and she

304
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: was taken from the scene in that car. Those are

305
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the two possibilities to me that come to my most

306
00:19:51,520 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: likely scenarios. Time Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we're talking

307
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: about the disappearance of a beautiful young girl, Madison Bell,

326
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm just trying to get a visual on

327
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: anything that would make that burgundy Toyota four door camera

328
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: different from another one. Was there any damage to it?

329
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: Was a tail like missing, just any other stick or

330
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: anything about the car that makes it different. No, Like

331
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: my Miniman has a bike rack. We keep the Rudolph

332
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: the reindeer nose on the front year round, so that

333
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: makes it different. Is there anything about her car, Miss Bell,

334
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: that would make it different that maybe someone saw what

335
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: was happening that day? I mean, I don't know if

336
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: he mentioned aiden the dark tent on the windows on

337
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: her the only thing yet that car used to be

338
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: mine and I just recently gave it to her because

339
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: she was going to start college and I'm just gonna

340
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: get a new one. So I had when I had it,

341
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: I had the windows ten a dark So you know,

342
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: it strikes me about this, Doctor Daniel Bober. Friends at

343
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: psychiatrists joining me. You can find him on instant doctor

344
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Bober. Doctor Bober, there was no damage to the car,

345
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: so that tells me she did she pull the car

346
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: over willingly, because think it through with me, Bober. If

347
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: someone had approached her and gotten her in some other way,

348
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: some other location, why would they take the car all

349
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: the way to the salon across the street. That tells

350
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: me she drove the car. She was almost there. There's

351
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: no damage to the car, So it sounds to me

352
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: like she got out willingly. What do you make of it? Well,

353
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's started out well, maybe it started out willingly

354
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: and then it became coerced after that. It's difficult to

355
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: say such as, hey, can you help me, I've got

356
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: a flat tire? Hey, I know you, weren't you a cheerleader?

357
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: Could you can I borrow your cell phone for a minute?

358
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: There could be a million reasons she got out willingly.

359
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: Back to Cheryl McCallum, Director or Cold Case Research Institute.

360
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: What about it, Cheryl? What are you making of what

361
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: we're learning right now? Well, Nancy again, you know I'm

362
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: interested in that cell phone. Hey. I don't like it

363
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: when you say again, because that means I've already told

364
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: you this. Why are you asking me again? I'm saying

365
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I know not at all. I'm focused on did she

366
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: send a message or receive a message through Snapchat or Instagram,

367
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: not like a normal text message or phone call, because

368
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: it does seem to me like she pulled in there.

369
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: And I'll just ask Cody point blank, did she smoke

370
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: barrel on or would she go there to buy drugs

371
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: from somebody? Yes or no? No? Okay, So if that's

372
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: not the case and there's no damage to her car,

373
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I doubt they'd be selling in exchanging dope in a

374
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: church parking lot. Cheryl Mcclumno, all the places you could

375
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: do that. There's nobody there and there's no cameras. But

376
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying the car did not look like a police

377
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: officer vehicle. I don't know how they would get her

378
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: to stop just short of her destination if it's not

379
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: a fake rend. A million ways, a million ways, if

380
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: somebody waved at her and went, hey, you have a

381
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: flat she might pull in. There could be a million

382
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: decoy ways to get her out of that car. But

383
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious car was there before her. Keep that in mind. Okay,

384
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: that's new? Is that correct? Melissa Belle? The white Nissan

385
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: with the California tags, which I believe it was a

386
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Nissan CenTra or look like a Nissan on CenTra. That

387
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: car was there before there before Madison arrived. Yes, yeah, okay, yeah,

388
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: you're right, Cheryl McCallum. That changes things. Go ahead, Miss Bell.

389
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: Witnesses saw it there and approximately they said maybe a

390
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: quarter till or ten till ten o'clock, so ninety five

391
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: fifty and I believe that that's what they said. And

392
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: question multiple witness saw that, what's the timeline on when

393
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: her car got there? Well, I think that she left.

394
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: I've never gave an exact time when she left because

395
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: I was cleaning and she hollered that she was leaving.

396
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: I said be careful because I always say be careful

397
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: when she's driving. And I she left here approximately ten o'clock.

398
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: So that car there is at nine fifty and the

399
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: white CenTra California tags that we think her car according

400
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: to witnesses. Really what witnesses, You don't have to give

401
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: me their nice But why did they notice it? Well,

402
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: there was this multiple witness well, one was an elderly

403
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: couple that are members of the church, like a treasurer,

404
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: and they had to stop to go into the church

405
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: to pick up, pick up or drop off an item.

406
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: And since they weren't having church Friday, and this was

407
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the day that I mean, I don't know

408
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: what time they were there, but when they were there,

409
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: they noticed this man. That's how we got a description

410
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: and the car and the California tag. What's the um?

411
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: All I know is Caucasian. I'm not sure on heights specifically,

412
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: but Caucasian and blonde hair. And I've heard rumors that

413
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: he might have been smoking a cigarette. I've heard rumors

414
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: that he had aviator glasses and slipped hair to the sides.

415
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Then someone else said shaggy hair. I don't exactly know

416
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: the exact description. Does everybody a grief? Why may all blonde? Yes?

417
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Did anybody say what he was wearing? And a polo

418
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: a polo shirt and clean cut like clean face. So

419
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: what color polo shirt? I believe white or gray? I've

420
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: heard those. No one's got a good look at him, Yeah,

421
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: and no one's ever really I've heard so many people,

422
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: but no authories have gave me earth. I believe it

423
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: at least a accurate You know, what would he they

424
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: in this small town, as Emily describes, a village with

425
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: California tags. Why who does he know there Emily Nestor.

426
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Is this area anywhere near a major interstate? Um, you

427
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: have to take a lot of state roads before you

428
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: hit an interstate. But I think it is important to

429
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: mention the proximity to Chill a Coffee and it's sturdy

430
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: of missing women and possible drafficking situation. So you're you're

Speaker 1: to meet someone, which I doubt that there would be

461
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: a text message or a corresponding cell phone incoming or

462
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: outgoing call. Correct. Yes, no, there would be. You know,

463
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of apps that you can use

464
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: nowadays that are very difficult to trace that that won't

465
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: show up on a text message log that you can

466
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: use online um and so that does present some difficulty sometimes.

467
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Cody Man, longtime boyfriend. Were you guys having any trouble,

468
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: talk of a breakup anything at all? No? Was she

469
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: planning on going to college? Do we know about that? Melissa? Yes,

470
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: she has already been. She had already been except to

471
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: Ohio University at the Chill Coffee Branch to be in

472
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: the nursing program. She was going to be a registered nurse.

473
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: How does she feel about that? How did she feel

474
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: about it? Yes, she was very excited. She has a

475
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: Pinterest account and I so I was looking at that

476
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: just I believe it was last night, and just to

477
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: see what her last pens were. And she had created

478
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: a college board, and I know that she had been

479
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: talking to me about the last three weeks and telling

480
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: me that she was creating this board because she she

481
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: was getting excited and she was decided on her own

482
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: that she was going to start studying different parts of

483
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: the body. So she was pinning like the arm and

484
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the vein arteries and veins in the arm and then

485
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: trying to learn that and then she was, you know,

486
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: she was that's what she was doing, trying to just

487
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: study each part thinking that that would help prepare her

488
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: for school, and she was getting, you know, getting really

489
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: excited about that. This is what we know. Mattie Madison Bell,

490
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: teen girl, last thing Sunday morning, told mom she's heading

491
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: to the tanning salon at Country Corner Market. Her car

492
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: found at the Good Shepherd Church across the street, with

493
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: her cars in the ignition and the phone on the seat.

494
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: What does that tell you, Cheryl McCollum. Keys still in ignition,

495
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: cell phone on the car seat tells me she wasn't

496
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: intending to go anywhere. She's just going to hop out

497
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: very quickly and get back in her car. Yeah, teenage

498
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: girls aren't going to leave that cell phone at all.

499
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: And again, the way the car is parked is perfect.

500
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: It's not like she parked catty corner or crazy or

501
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: in a hurry. It looked like she just pulled straight

502
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: to the left, straight left into that parking spot perfectly.

503
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: I think right now what police are doing is probably

504
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: swabbing the steering will swabbing the gearshift, doesn't the press

505
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: to see if anybody else got in that car. But again,

506
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: cash is visible, see her cell phone is visible, and

507
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: see the keys are in it. Doesn't look like stems

508
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: was an issue. I don't think she left on her

509
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: own at all. Names I don't either, And to you,

510
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Bober, the incidents of crimes on Sunday mornings

511
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: is actually lower than other days and times of the week.

512
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Why well, I think there's probably a lower stress out level,

513
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: more leisure time. People are often going to religious groups

514
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: at that time, So I think it's probably just the

515
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: nature of what people are doing at that time and

516
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: during that day of the week. This Ohio high school

517
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: senior has vanished on her way to attending salon just

518
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: before her graduation. Her car found in the abandoned the

519
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: keys still in the ignition. To mom, Madison Bell, what

520
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: does that tell you that her keys were still in

521
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: the ignition? I just know you're a mother. You know

522
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: you have a gut instinct, and I just have this guy.

523
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: I have this gut instinct from the moment because I

524
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: know my child, I know her, and I know she is.

525
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: This is a girl who's scared of her shadow. She

526
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: won't go to sleep at night until her boyfriend would

527
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: get home from work. She you know, she would never

528
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: pick up a stranger. She would never stop intentionally she

529
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't take anything with her that would say that she's

530
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: planning to leave. Like she wears glasses to read. She

531
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: has prescription contacts that she didn't take those. The only

532
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: thing she had in was what she already had in

533
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: from the night before, which are colored contacts. She would

534
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: have taken her makeup, because she would hardly ever go

535
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: out without makeup. But she unless she was planning, you know,

536
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: but other than that, she would because she was planning

537
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: to come back. She didn't take her medicine, and her

538
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: physician has her. You know, she takes a prescription every day.

539
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: She didn't take that. I mean, she didn't take anything,

540
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: any extra clothing any I mean I went through that,

541
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I know of I mean I went through everything, and

542
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't notice anything odd gone. I'm looking at her pictures.

543
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: In her jacket, she takes her jacket everywhere, and because

544
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: she gets cold, she takes her jacket everywhere. I'm looking

545
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: at Maddie's photo right now. She's got on her high

546
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: school graduation cap and gown. It's white. She's just beautiful,

547
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: her teeth perfect. Did she wear braces, No, there's just

548
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: natural born. She's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. She loved to play

549
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: and makeup and doll up and um. You know she

550
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I will say, you know she didn't have um, she

551
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: had like im like she didn't never saw herself as

552
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: she you know, she was her worst critic on herself,

553
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, looking at herself. But you know we all

554
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: knew how beautiful no matter what she had, whether makeup

555
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: or not. But she's just always war makeup. I mean,

556
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: she wouldn't even go to the dollars world about makeup.

557
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: What are police telling you, Melissa? Not a lot right now?

558
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: They haven't released you know that. I know that there.

559
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: I know they've been working diantly, you know, vigilantly together.

560
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: They've spoken with me and ask me questions and stuff

561
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: like that. But I no, like, no, like real official

562
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: things have been released to me yet. I'm looking at

563
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: a photo of you, Melissa and longtime boyfriend Cody Man,

564
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: and his face is just contorted in tears. Tody, What

565
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: has this been like for you? In so unimaginable Melissa?

566
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: Tell me what you are learning from reports? What you

567
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: what's your current working theory? Because I always say Mom

568
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: knows best that and you know what, You're exactly right,

569
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: and I have said it and I've said it from

570
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: day once. Maybe she thought that was the only thing

571
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: I can think of is maybe she misplaced this person.

572
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: She thought that this was somebody that she knew. You know,

573
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: she's been in quarantine. This is a girl who didn't

574
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: even go out of quarantine for two months until she

575
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: had to do her her you know, quarantine graduations thing

576
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: that they did. So she was a homebody and she

577
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: would not stop for a stranger. So she had to

578
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: think that she knew this person, you know, she had to.

579
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I was thinking maybe she thought this was somebody

580
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: from school that they looked. You know, you were talking

581
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: about a white guy, blonde hair, well our school. I mean,

582
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: you know you're going to find that. So maybe she

583
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: just thought it was someone and by the time she

584
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: pulled in and realized it wasn't you know. That's the

585
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: only thing there has to be. My instinct, as her

586
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: mom is, there has to be there's a reason that

587
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: she pulled in. She would never ever pull in there

588
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: for no, for a stranger that I know. So to

589

595
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,160

596
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: over three hundred people. Even in the pouring rain, there

597

Speaker 1: were over one hundred and fifty people. And so this
