But now I get to find out 180 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: other things. And I've got to tell you, I'm frankly overjoyed. 181 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: What were the dreams? 182 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: It's kind of weird just that I was back at 183 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: home in Philadelphia in my you know, staying in my room, 184 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: and she would come out my brother's room and just 185 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: walk by me and go into the bathroom, wouldn't say anything, 186 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: and I, you know when I and I immediately wake 187 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: up and I'm immediately trying to figure out what was 188 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: that about. And that's another one where she's sitting on 189 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: a couch. You know that's sitting there, I guess just 190 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: as if you know, sitting on the top of the 191 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: couch and at the bottom of the couch, but the 192 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: top that wear her feet on the cushions, like staring 193 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: off at something. And again I immediately wake up, and 194 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 3: I'm totally confused. But it happened back to back at nights, 195 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: and I couldn't interpret what those dreams meant. 196 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: It was very weird. 197 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: Back to back, and that was in the last two nights. 198 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 4: Right exactly. And you know, and. 199 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: I said to myself last night that she can't be 200 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: in the area that we're searching. She has to be 201 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: either in fifth Ward or third Ward. And this morning 202 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 3: we find our U of H campuses in third Ward. 203 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: So I kind of had a premonition, if you will, 204 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 3: that she was in this particular area. 205 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let me let me well, first of all, I've 206 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: had a similar dream after my dad passed away, and 207 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: like you, I see him in a comforting and familiar 208 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: setting back at my old Methodist church back home in 209 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: rural Bibb County, and he is walking away and he 210 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: always turns back and looks at me like I'm. 211 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: Going to join him. 212 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know what any of that means, but 213 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: I see him, and I'm trying to figure out if 214 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: you were getting some sort of a premonition you were 215 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: going to find your daughter the next day, because you did. 216 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: She was on campus. Was she in a dorm, a 217 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: community center, a house. 218 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 4: Where was she Well, the story is still kind of cloudy. 219 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: I think she talked to the campus police for whatever reason, 220 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: and she went about her business. And then I guess 221 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: they had the foresight to look into the database and 222 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: they noticed that, hey, she fits a subscription of the 223 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 3: description of the young lady and the dog. That's mission. 224 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: So they immediately went back out located her in border here. 225 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: I think that was the last night, eleven PM or 226 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: something to that extent, and they finally got in touch 227 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: with the detective on the case, and the detective told 228 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: them to give me a call. 229 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 4: And here we are. 230 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Guys, we are speaking to Christina Johnson's father, Emmanuel Johnson, 231 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: who has just gotten the good news, the wonderful news 232 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: his daughter is alive. Joining me, mister Johnson, don't move 233 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: an end. Joining me an all star panel to make 234 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: sense of what we're hearing right now. But first I 235 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: want to go to Angelina Faris, Deputy director Texas Equasearch, 236 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: who has been leading the search to find Christina. Angelina, 237 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much, for being with us. Typically when 238 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm with Texas Equisearch, the news is never good. 239 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: Tell me about the search that you led to find. 240 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: Her, Good morning, and thank you for having us. 241 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 7: Yeah. 242 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 6: So, initially when we were contacted, we had many many 243 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 6: cases coming through, and the one thing that stuck out 244 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 6: was that Christina was missing with her dog. So we 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 6: quickly sent a small team just looking in the shelters 246 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 6: nearby the house where she was last seen. And then 247 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 6: that's when the call came in from a community member 248 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 6: who said, Hey, you know, you guys are looking for 249 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 6: this lady and this dog, and we think we found 250 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 6: this dog. And so that was just something very very 251 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 6: quick that happened. In the meantime, still trying to get 252 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 6: information as to what her habits were, what her daily 253 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 6: routine was. Once we had all of that information, we 254 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 6: started near her home, which is where we always started, 255 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 6: the last place that they were seeing, and started going 256 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 6: to the Jack in the box and the areas and 257 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 6: the stores and the library and the community center where 258 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 6: she went and try to find out if anybody had 259 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 6: seen or had anybody seen her recently. So there was 260 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 6: a concerted effort that Saturday and Sunday to look for 261 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 6: her and find someone who had seen her. Fast forward 262 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 6: a few days. By Saturday, I want to say the sixteenth, 263 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 6: we were able to obtain video footage of her at 264 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: an establishment I want to say, the day after she 265 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 6: went miss and that gave us a lot of hope. 266 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 6: I think, I think for a little while there, we're 267 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 6: very concerned that maybe something had happened to her. And 268 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 6: once we saw that footage of her the next day 269 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 6: and we're able to confirm that it was Christina, that 270 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 6: certainly made us hopeful. And there was definitely a thought 271 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 6: that she could be out, you know, walking around or 272 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 6: going somewhere that where she was safe. 273 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: But it was just. 274 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 6: Very worrying to not know where she was and not 275 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 6: have any idea. 276 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: You know, that's very worrying to me because guys are 277 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: hearing Angelina Ferris, who textas ec research to Michael Yvgnez 278 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: joining us former Houston PD detective, licensed private investigator at 279 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: Why two Investigations. 280 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: Michael, I've had so many. 281 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: Cases where, for instance, you see a kidnap victim go 282 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: into a bank or go to an ATM and withdraw money. 283 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: You think everything's okay. It's not okay. 284 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: Because sitting outside is a kid napper who has a 285 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: gun or is threatening them. I mean, yes, I was 286 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: thrilled to learn that there had been what we thought 287 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: was video surveillance of Christina. 288 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: But things are not always as they seem, are they, Michael, No, 289 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: they are not. 290 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 8: And what you mentioned was a very real possibility she 291 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 8: could have been kidnapped, held against her will. Lord only 292 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 8: knows what because we don't know the full circumstances of 293 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 8: her disappearance right now, Nancy.

Is that Max in the car with you? 353 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 4: It is? It is? It is definitely Max. He has 354 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 4: the collar on that he should. 355 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: Can I see that little guy? Because can I see 356 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: that little guy? 357 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Because this little guy was a huge, huge clue in 358 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: the case. 359 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: Okay, where he is? 360 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: He? 361 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: I see you Max, that little guy right there. 362 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: It was like the biggest clue we could find until 363 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: video surveillance emerged. 364 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: That guy. I am so happy to see him. 365 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: And I'm just imagining the good Samaritan that jumped out 366 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: of her car in the thunder and the lightning because 367 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: she thinks she sees Max and takes the dog in. 368 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: And what must have gone through your mind in Christina's 369 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: mom's mind when you find out your daughter dog has 370 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: been found, but no sign of Christina during this time. 371 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: To doctor John Delatory, licensed psychologist and mediator, Doctor Delatory, 372 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: very often people have a psychotic break and stress and 373 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: so many other things build up in their minds. 374 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: We don't know yet that that has what had happened. 375 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: But this is a girl, as you heard, doctor Delatory, 376 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: it's a very high achiever. 377 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: No history. 378 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: Yes, I like that, as we call it, two shot 379 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: very much. I'm gonna be really happy when I see 380 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Christina in the background too, Coster delatory, did you hear 381 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: what we were saying about Christina? A champion tennis player, 382 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: She goes on to play at the college level. You 383 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: know how hard that is to achieve, to actually make 384 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: it the millions of other people that want a college scholarship. 385 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: She makes it to WVU, Then she graduates, Then she 386 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: starts the job search. That's not easy, every day facing 387 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: one defeat after the next defeat, after the next rejection, 388 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: and still trying. And everybody sees you as this champion, 389 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: which you've been your whole life, and then all of 390 00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: a sudden. 391 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, real life hits you. You know, expectations versus reality. 392 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 7: This is one of those times where all of these 393 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 7: kinds of adulting type tasks now confronts this individual, and 394 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 7: we don't know how the person is handling stress. We 395 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 7: don't know how they manage all of these kinds of things. 396 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 7: And I'm sure she expected to have a lot of 397 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 7: things maybe put in place and already ready to go. 398 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 7: But she's working hard. And I think that's the key, 399 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 7: is that sometimes when you're working so hard. It can 400 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 7: weigh so much on you that sometimes you forget to 401 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 7: allow other people. 402 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 4: To help you. 403 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: Sometimes you don't tell the people that are closest to 404 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 7: you what exactly it is that's going on, whatever struggles 405 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 7: that you might be experiencing, right, Allowing some of the 406 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 7: burden to go on with your family members so that 407 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 7: they can help prop you up. Sometimes we think that 408 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 7: we can just face this and be isolated, and we 409 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 7: still have so much to learn. And I'm glad Christina 410 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 7: is still around so that she can tell us her story, 411 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 7: so that she can help other people who may be 412 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 7: facing similar kinds of issues. 413 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: Joining me is Christina's dad, Emmanuel Johnson, Mister Johnson.

And it can 495 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: be hard, it can be so hard, especially when you're 496 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: coming from being on the top. I mean, your daughter 497 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: was a champion youth tennis star, gets to play at college. 498 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: Very few people get that, makes great grades, graduates ready 499 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: to take on the world, and then bam, And that's 500 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: a very harsh, harsh transition. Tell me if you can, 501 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: mister Johnson, about that video surveillance that at first wethought 502 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: was a crack in the case. 503 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: Did you see the surveillance? 504 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 4: What wasn't I did see it. 505 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: To my understanding, she she just went into the business 506 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: to use the restroom. As she was coming out, she 507 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: was drying her hands off, so and that was quite 508 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: a distance from the house, and the big question was 509 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: how did she get you know, we get over there 510 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 3: and what is she doing over there? And you know, so, 511 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I have more questions and answers at this point, 512 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 3: and you know, hopefully later on today we can go 513 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 3: ahead and get a lot of these questions answered, you know, hopefully. 514 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, joining me is Alexis arrest hut Clime online 515 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter Alexis, thank you for being with us. 516 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: I understand that once she left, other than that video surveillance, 517 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: we had nothing about ATM's credit cards, no other sightings 518 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: than sightings started popping up all over the place that 519 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: were not her. 520 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: What can you tell me about that, Alexistereschuk. 521 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 11: That's exactly what happened. She went missing and there was 522 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 11: no contact from her. She didn't use her credit cards, 523 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 11: she didn't purchase anything. She wasn't shopping at the jack 524 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 11: in the box or at the target or anywhere. So 525 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 11: then people started sending in the when the press found 526 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 11: out about it, when everybody started finding out after her 527 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 11: dad went to the police started getting the word out, 528 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 11: people started sending in sightings. Not maliciously, right, They said, oh, 529 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 11: we think we saw her at this place. I thought 530 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 11: we saw her at another place. But none of them 531 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 11: were Christina, And so the search broadened. It's a huge town, 532 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 11: so they started going looking at different places. But nothing 533 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 11: was happening until the dog was found. And because she 534 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 11: went missing with the dog, that's sort of an extra 535 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 11: clue for people to look for. You see just a 536 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 11: girl by herself, you might think, oh, she's just but 537 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 11: if you see this dog. So this woman finds this 538 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 11: dog at night in the rain, the thunder, the lightning, 539 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 11: great she calls the dog. That is literally exactly how 540 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 11: I got straight dog. I called a missing dog's name, 541 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 11: and it came running to me. It was not the 542 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 11: missing dog. In ten years later, I still have that dog, 543 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 11: but the dog came. So everybody thought, really the worst. 544 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 11: You find the dog without her seven miles away. That 545 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 11: is really far distance for a dog. She is not 546 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 11: sighted anywhere around there, There are no sightings. The search 547 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 11: in that area doesn't turn up anything for her, and 548 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 11: so it seemed as if she had been taken from 549 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 11: the area at some point and the dog dropped. That's 550 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 11: what the worst fears were that everybody had. 551 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: And of course to you, mister Johnson, she is missing 552 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: out of the Houston, Texas area, and there's a very 553 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: high crime rate in Houston, and she is on foot. 554 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: You're telling me, other. 555 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: Than being seemingly disoriented and confused, you did not see 556 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: any outward or visible signs of injury. 557 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: Is that correct? 558 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 4: Correct? Not at all? None at all? 559 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: To be fine. But again, I know more later on, 560 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: so I can't defend. 561 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: These, Yes you will. Yeah, we don't know what she's 562 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: been through. 563 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: Michael Yvine is joining US former Houston homicide detective now 564 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: PI y two investigations. 565 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: Houston has a very. 566 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: Very high crime rate, including gangs, and this young girl 567 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: was gone with her dog on foot and spotted confirmed 568 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: spotted nearly ten miles away, having been on foot. That 569 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: would chill down anybody's spine. 570 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 8: That leads me to a conclusion, Nancy, that she had 571 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 8: some possible outside help. She's been gone for a while. 572 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 8: You know, I don't know if there's any movement on 573 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 8: her bank account, but you can assure that the police 574 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 8: will come through her finances, her bank account records or 575 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 8: social media, her cell phone records and everything. So they're 576 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 8: gonna do a pretty thorough investigation, try to get to 577 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 8: the bottom of what happened to her exactly, including her 578 00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 8: mental state. 579 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: The headline the batterer now is when we hardly ever 580 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: get to report Christina has been found alive. 581 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: Mister Johnson, where are you going now? 582 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: Well, I need to take Max back home and get him, 583 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: uh in the one warm place.
