Speaker 1: rocks a community, and now fourteen years later, the mother

3
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: of a beautiful teen girl is still searching for answers.

4
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for

5
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: being with us here at Fox Nation and Serious X

6
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: one eleven. What happened to Brittany? Take a listen to

7
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: this Winnsboro, Texas is two thousand and seven. What would

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: seem like an ordinary day for nineteen year old Brittany

9
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: mclough as suddenly wasn't. She was just beginning her laugh,

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to going college. After working her night shift

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: at this Low's distribution center, she headed to her boyfriend

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Stagner's house just on the other side of this fence,

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: in a small home by Lake Winnsboro. Hours later, somewhere

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: between eight am to three pm, mcloan was savagely murdered

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: and Stagner's bent. She had been bludgeoned with a heavy

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: sharp object. She had been sexually assaulted. It's almost too

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: much to take in. She had just recently celebrated her

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: teen birthday. Her mom tells me it was a little

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: family party. Like most of us, had growing up where

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: mom makes a cake and we see happy birthday. That

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: was her last birthday, And even now fifteen years later,

22
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: there are no answers now in this world that we

23
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: live in, of touch DNA and genetic markers and genetic

24
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: genealogy and epiphilial cells and miticonjual DNA and on and on,

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: And why is this family still looking for answers in

26
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: the brutal attack on their ting girl? And what a

27
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: beauty on the inside and out? Did you hear that

28
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: she was working? You know a lot of teams are

29
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: at home on their Xbox with a TV blaring in

30
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the background, sitting on the sofa eating chips. Not her,

31
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: not her? Why did this happen? Who did this to her?

32
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: And why have they not been brought to justice? With

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,280

Speaker 1: even imagine what you've been through saying thank you to me.

42
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: There's absolutely no need, miss Tye. Tell me when you

43
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: first became worried that something was wrong with Britney. Well,

44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: it was the afternoon of May fourth. Her boyfriend called

45
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: me to ask me if Brittany was with me, and

46
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I was very alarmed and I said, no, she's supposed

47
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: to be with you. She had worked the overnight shift

48
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: at a Lows distribution center, you know, got off at

49
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: six thirty seven, and it was the first time she

50
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: ever went straight to the boyfriend's home instead of coming home,

51
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: taking shower, eating and taking an out. Let Me understand something,

52
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: miss tythe Yeah, so she gets off at six thirty

53
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: am or pm am. She worked night. That's hard. That

54
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: it's hard. My dad did a swing shift, or as

55
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: he said, first second third chicks sometimes said be in

56
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the morning, sometimes the afternoon, the evening over a night.

57
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: That's hard. That's hard on your body. But she did. Okay,

58
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: so she gets all six thirty am. Okay, yes, And

59
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: like I said, it was the first time she had

60
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: ever gone straight to the boyfriend's house. So when he

61
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: called me asking if Brittany was with me, I was

62
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: alarmed and I said, no, she's supposed to be with you.

63
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: And what time was that? That was afternoon? Three three

64
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon. Whoa okay, yes, between six thirty

65
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: and three thirty, Okay, go ahead. And so I hung

66
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: up on him and called Britney's phone and it went

67
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: straight to voicemail, and her phone was an appendage. She

68
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: would have answered the phone. So I called the boyfriend

69
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: back and said, she's not answering the phone, and he said,

70
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: he said, she's here. She's sleeping. She's just sleeping hard.

71
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: And then a little bit after that, fifteen twenty minutes

72
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: after that, two Wood County officers knocked on the door

73
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and they asked for Brenda or Debbie, and we told

74
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: them there was no bun in our home by that name,

75
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: and so they left and just something didn't feel right.

76
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: That's that's very disjoint. Yes, So out of the blue,

77
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: that afternoon, May four cops show up at your door

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: asking for Brenda or Debbie. Yes, okay, so I you know,

79
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: I was, I just I just had that mother's intuition,

80
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: so I called the sheriff's office. The sheriff himself got

81
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: on the phone and told me to stay put. He

82
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: was sending the deputies back, so I knew for sure

83
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: something was wrong. They took me into the house alone,

84
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: and verbatim, they said, your daughter is deceased, Oh dear

85
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Lord in heaven. They wouldn't give me any details, not

86
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: even cause of death, and they left. I was there

87
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: with my blind mom, my teenage sons, and we were

88
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: in crisis. Okay, wait a minute, you're blind mom. Your

89
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: mother lived with you, Yes, we all lived again. How

90
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: old was your mom at that time? Let's see, um,

91
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: she was sixty two. And your dad also lived there.

92
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: He did, He wasn't on the road truck driver, he wasn't.

93
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't home when this happened. Okay, and your son, Yeah,

94
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: I had two sons still living at home that were

95
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: in high school. Ay, just at that time. They were

96
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: fifteen and seventeen, and they had been home all night

97
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: from six thirty when she got off from Lowes until. Yeah.

98
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: That they had been with you the entire time. Well,

99
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: I mean, and they were in school. They went to Okay,

100
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: and your father's whereabouts are not. I mean your dad's

101
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: whereabouts are known because he was doing long haul trucking. Right,

Speaker 1: it way up northeast. And what about Britney's father. I

104
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: don't know where he was at the time. I think

105
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: when he was informed by telephone by law enforcement. I

106
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: want to say he and his wife were at a

107
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: movie or on their way to a movie, same town.

108
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Noah account about twenty three miles away. Okay, so for

109
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: springs and so the why his wife can account for

Speaker 1: I want to understand, Miss tys, more about Brittany. I

124
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: want to hear about who Brittany is. Guys, take a

125
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: listen to our Forensic crime online. Britney McLoone had taken

126
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: a year off after graduating high school and was working

127
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: two jobs to save money for college. She planned to

128
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: attend Baylor University and study nursing. One of her jobs

129
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: was at the Lowe's distribution center in Mount Vernon. On

130
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: the morning of May fourth, she finished her overnight shift

131
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: and drove to her boyfriend's house in Windsboro to sleep.

132
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: His family also lived at that house. Her mother became

133
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: concerned when she couldn't get through to Brittany on her

134
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: cell phone. Britney's sister, Hope said, Britney's mother called so

135
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: many times she filled up her voicemail just trying to

136
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: take that in. You know, that's an important fact, A

137
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: subtle but important fact, Miss Tis, is that the boyfriend

138
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: also lived with his family as well, correct and they

139
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: were home. The mother went to work, the brother's sister

140
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: went to high school. The stepdad and the boyfriend went

141
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: to Dallas to pick up a grandmother from the airport.

142
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: So while they lived there, they were not at home

143
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: at the time your daughter was there. They left Brittany

144
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: home alone. Yes, okay, let me understand. Did the boyfriend

145
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: have a job that he went to No, he did

146
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: not work. He did not work. And what was his age?

147
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: I think he was twenty one? He was twenty one,

148
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: and Brittany's age just turned nineteen. Yes, she was about

149
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half. Guys earlier, you were hearing our

150
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: friends at k et Kate. Now take a lesson to

151
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: our friends at Fox fifty one. Brittany was on her

152
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: way to her boyfriend's house. Several hours later, she never

153
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: came home. Law enforcement found Brittany was tragically beaten, sexually assaulted,

154
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: and murdered. Her killer was never found. She hasn't over

155
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: just said that she deserves So that's that's really important

156
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: to us. So we're hoping for some answers, hopefully sooner

157
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: than later. How can fifteen years pass with no answers?

158
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: Listen to our friends, Sarah Alegre. Before that horrifying moment,

159
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: Brittany left her night shift at this Low's distribution center

160
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: and went to her boyfriend and Jeff Stagner's house in

161
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: a small home by Lake Winsborough. Her boyfriend called and

162
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: asked if Brittany was with me, and immediately I said, no,

163
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: She's supposed to be with Hugh. You know, it just

164
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: didn't feel right. Between eight am to five thirty pm

165
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: at Brittany was reportedly murdered in Stagner's bed. Okay, I'm

166
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: really grappling with these facts and the reality that the

167
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: case has still gone unsaw. Take a listen to more

168
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: from our friends katk. Her boyfriend called no Little one

169
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Stagner returning home to an unrecognized body and a horrifying

170
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: crime scene that could have been your daughter, your sister,

171
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: your cousin, you know, your friend. What happened to her

172
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: could happen to anyone, and with somebody still running around

173
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: out there free, it probably will. That thought igniting urgency

174
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: in the community, including recently elected Wood County Sheriff Kelly Cole.

175
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I actually worked here. I was a Kremlin investigator here

176
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: at that time. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, it's

177
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: not fitting together from me. I want to go out

178
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: to another special guest joining us in addition to Britney's mother,

179
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Patricia Tys. Amy names is with me True Crime Writer.

181
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: understand the movements of the boyfriend that afternoon, and then

182
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, I'm going to come back

Speaker 1: straight to you. We need to get a t D

184
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: time of death so I can work that into the

185
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: crime line. And if I can get that time of

186
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: death even within say forty five minutes to an hour,

187
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I can start ruling people out to see what I

188
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: mean to. Amy Knaves is joining me, truecome Writer. You

189

Speaker 1: can find her at Dark Aberrations Blog. Amy, thank you

190
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: for being with us. Can we just try from the beginning, Amy,

191
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: what you know from the moment that she Brittany got

192
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: off from her overnight shift at the Lows Distribution Center. Guys,

193
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: this goes down in Wood County, Tipline, Wood County Sheriff

194
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: nine o three seven six three two two zero one

195
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: repeat nine zero three seven six three two zero one. Amy,

196
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: let's start out to get go what happened. Well, there's

197
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: a lot of information that's not out there because the

198
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: investigation is ongoing, but to stop right there. Wendy Patrick

199
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: joining me, California prosecutor, author Red Flags, Wendy Patrick, PhD,

200
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: host of Today with Doctor Wendy kb Q. Wendy ongoing investigation. Really,

201
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: it's been fifteen years. Release it, help us solve the case.

202
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Fifteen years of a quote ongoing investigation is too long

203
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: in anybody's eyes. It's the kind of thing that you

204
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: would argue transparency is going to generate leads before memories fade.

205
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: You want to get as much community participation and information

206
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: as we can. So it's unacceptable. And I am sure

207
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: that Britney's mother would agree to have not disclosed more

208
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: over the course of that time. Do you, miss Tis?

209
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, I don't get it, miss Tis. What are

210
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: they sitting on? You know? If anybody knows, please jump in,

211
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: As I always say, this ain't no tea party at

212
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: High Grove with the Queen, all right, jump in if

213
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: you have a thought or a suggestion or a line

214
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: of inquiry, let's hear it. To Amy Naves joining us,

215
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: true crime writer and blogger. Sorry to cut you off

216
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: right there at the get go, but hiding behind the

217
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: claim this is an ongoing investigation, so we can't release

218
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the info. You know what, that reminds me of Jackie.

219
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Delphi case. Abigail and Liberty

220
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: have been dead for years and we think they have

221
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: a picture and sound of their killer, but still the

222
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: cops won't release information. You know what, give it up? So,

223
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Amy naves I understand you're working without all the facts.

224
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: But what do we know, dear. We know that obviously

225
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: missus Tyce couldn't get in touch with her daughter all day.

226
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: It was a until two thirty that afternoon that she

227
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: finally was able to get in touch. That she finally,

228
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: I guess, gave up on trying to call her daughter

229
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: and called Stagner instead. So you have a gap between

230
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: when Brittany arrived that morning and two thirty that afternoon.

231
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: At the time, at the time Brittany's mother reached him,

232
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: he said that you know, they had been out to

233
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: the airport picking up a relative and that they were

234
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: just pulling into the driveway, that Britney's car was still there,

235
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: and then they went into the house and that's when

236
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: they discovered Britney's body. But the time of death is

237
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: listed as somewhere between eight am and three pm, which

238
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: is a huge window. Not helpful at all. He just

239
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: told me something I didn't know, Amy Knaves. Patricia Tys.

240
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: So the boyfriend says that when Brittany got there, he

241
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: was already gone with his family to pick someone up

242
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: at the airport. No, that's not my understanding. Okay, what's

243
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: your understanding that the entire family was still there when

244
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Brittany got there. Okay, so the whole family's there, Amy Knaves.

245
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: The family boyfriend's family sees her come in, All right,

246
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I assume this is what the family says. They she

247
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: goes into the bedroom because she's exhausted from an overnight shift.

248
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: She lays down to go to sleep, and then they

249
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: all leave to go to the airport. Is that correct,

250
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Amy Knaves, Yes, that's correct. Yeah, because I think that

251
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: I misinterpreted something you said. You didn't say he left

252
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: at six thirty in the morning. Now I extrapolated that,

253
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: so I understand what you're saying. Now. So she gets

254
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: there six thirty ish, shicks forty after her shift, She's exhausted,

255
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: goes to sleep. The whole family, Caesar, come in, go

256
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: to bed, and then what time, Amy Knaves, do they

257
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: say that they left to pick up someone at the airport.

258
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, and this may be incorrect, but I'm assuming

259
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: that is the fact that they say that she was

260
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: murdered somewhere between eight am and three pm, that eight

261
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: am is the last time someone saw her alive. What

262
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: do you know? To Patricia Tyss as Brittany's mother? And

263
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: I just want to say, again, Miss Tis, thank you,

264
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: because to analyze the facts surrounding your daughter's murder has

265
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: got to be excruciating, but you're doing it to try

266
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: to get answers, and that takes a stomach of steel

267
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: and a lot of backbone. Now, explain to me what

268
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: happened between six thirty and eight am to your knowledge,

269
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Miss Tis, as far as I know, the two kiddos

270
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: that we're in high school, we're getting ready to go

271
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: to high school. Mom was getting ready to go to work,

272
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: and the stepdad and the boy friend, we're getting ready

273
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: to go to Dallas. Who exactly went to Dallas to

274
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: pick up who is it coming intown? It was a grandmother? Okay,

275
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: so that's confirmed and I can prove that correct. Yes,

276
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: So b F, boyfriend and b F stepdad leave to

277
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: go to Dallas. Now, I understand that where this occurred

278
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: in Wood County. I'm from a county as well, bib County,

279
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: and it's not a city. It's out in a when

280
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: I grew up anyway, farmland. And I understand this area

281
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: of Wood County is rural, yes, densely forested. And I

282
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: understand that the boyfriend's family home is on a dead

283
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: end road. It's not like it's a cutthrough from one

284
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: big exchange to another big exchange, but two big streets,

285
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: right exactly. Okay, I'm just getting all these facts in

286
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: my mind. So boyfriend and boyfriend stepdad leave to go

287
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: to Dallas to pick up grandma. That's been confirmed. What

288
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: time did they leave, Miss Tye? Around eight o'clock? All right,

289
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: they leave at eight am. But here's the thing. Has

290
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: the mom boyfriend's mom already left for work at that time? Yes?

291
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: One time? Did she leave a little bit before eight

292
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: to drop? She took the kids to school. Are you

293
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: saying seven thirty or five till eight? Probably seven thirty? Okay,

294
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: So guth thirty minute window when mom and the two

295
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: brothers leave. It's a brother. It was a brother and

296
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: sister brother, two siblings. Thank you, got it? And I'm

297
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: taking all this in. They're gone at seven thirty, boyfriend

298
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: and stepdad leave at eight. Okay, I'm trying to figure

299
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: out to Amy Nay's True Crime writer and blogger, was

300
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: there any forced entry into the home? I didn't find

301
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: any indication from any of the reports that there was

302
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: any fourth entry. Is it true that the home it's

303
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: no longer there, that's corrected, it's been torn down? Why that?

304
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: I do not know the answer to. What do you know?

305
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: Patricia tis Britney's mom? Why was the home destroyed? I

306
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: have no idea either. I was just told when it

307
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: was going to be destroyed, and I was assured that

308
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: they had retrieved any evidence that might be left in

309
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: the home. This was from the Texas Attorney General's office.

310
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Has something been built on top of it? There is

311
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: another home on top of it? Yes? Okay, all right?

312
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: We don't have any forced entry? Is that right? Between

313
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 1: Patricia and Amy? No forced entry? Did they routinely lock

314
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: the door when they left? Yes? Okay? Was DNA taken

315
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: from Britney's body? Does anyone know the answer to that?

316
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: I was told that there was some unknown DNA found

317
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: on her leg, but that it's not conclusive. And I

318
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: was also told that whoever killed Brittany it was like

319
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: they went in there wrapped in saran wrap. That's how

320
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: little evidence was there. Joining me right now in addition

321
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: to doctor Jeff Gardier, clinical psychologist, Professor Behavioral Medicine Truro College,

322
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: and author Joseph Scott Morgan joining me Jacksonville State University,

323
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Professor forensics, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon,

324
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: and star of a brand new hit series, Bodybacks with

325
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan on iHeart Joe Scott, it's the timeline.

326
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: It's the timeline. One more quick question, what time Patricia

327
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: or Amy did the family get back with Grandma? Three o'clock?

328
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Right around? Yeah? Okay, got you three o'clock Jef Scott

329
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Morgan way in. Yeah, they've painted this with very broad strokes.

330
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about a seven hour window where they're saying

331
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: where between eight am and three pm? I mean, I

332
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: could tell you that. I'm just said j D because

333
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: the fai, the boyfriend and the step died. By the way,

334
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: boyfriend has passed a polygraph before we jump on that

335
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: bandwagon and veer off the road. Boyfriend has passed a

336
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: poly Is it totally conclusive? No? Is it helpful to know? Yes?

337
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: It is, Joe Scott, Really, the Emmy no offense death

338
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: investigator is telling me something I already know. I mean,

339
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: the family leaves at eight am, she's alive, they get

340
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: back at three. She's been brutally sexist at it and murdered.

341
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: So of course it happened between eight and three. I

342
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: was expecting a little bit more. Joe Scott. Well, I

343
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: even have a death investigator. Yeah, well, I still I

344
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: don't buy the fact that. First off, Texas doesn't have

345
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: an EMMY system. They have Justices of the piece. I'm sorry,

346
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: you're talking gibberish. What they don't have mes They call

347
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: them Emmy's and they're larger towns. But just suffice it

348
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: to say, the justice of the peace in the counties

349
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: in Texas act as de facto corners. I've had dealings

350
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: with these kinds of cases. Are they doctors, No, Oh,

351
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: they're like magistrates. That's like no offense, Jackie. That's like

352
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: me calling in Jackie to do my heart surgery or

353
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: my brain surgery. No offense, because you can do a

354
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, Jackie. But that's not one of them.

355
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you have a magistrate judge who

356
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: may or may not be a lawyer. You don't even

357
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: have to be a lawyer. They act as a de

358
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: facto corner. And I'd be very curious to know if

359
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: that person phrases they work in place of a corner.

360
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: They don't have traditional corners. So my question is, and

361
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: this is to the heart of the matter, did this

362
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: individual from that representative jurisdiction actually physically show up and

363
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: do a post more assessment assessment relative to post mortem interval,

364
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and that is the p M. I is the time

365
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: since death, all right, and there's several ways we measure that.

366
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: Let me just slow this down, Mustang Sally am I

367
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: post mortem interval whoa whoa? Wait wait, post mortem means

368
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: after death interval period of time. I don't know why

369
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: you talk like that. See, you're the reason and people

370
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: like you that I had to go through every single

371
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: line like I was diagramming a sentence like you do

372
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: in the fifth grade or whatever grade with medical examiners

373
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: because they talk like you you think a jury knows

374
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: what you're saying, because if a jury doesn't understand it,

375
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: then nobody else is going to understand it. I think

376
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about the time that has passed since Brittany

377
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: was murdered, right, yes, thank you, we're not clarifying that. Okay.

378
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hey, I want you to hear something just

379
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: got this may help take a listen to our friends

380
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: at crime Online. According to Wood County Sheriff's Office in Quitman, Texas,

381
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: detectives believe Brittany was killed between the hours of eight

382
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: am and three pm. She had been sexually assaulted and

383
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: beaten with an unknown object. An autopsy ruled that she

384
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: had died from massive head trauma. Many people were questioned

385
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: by detectives, including Brittany's boyfriend and his family, but no

386
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: suspects have been publicly named, and the sheriff adds nobody

387
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: has been officially ruled out either. Okay, I guess that

388
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: means they're talking about the boyfriend and the family. Nobody

389
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: has been officially ruled out either. I do know the

390
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: boyfriend has passed to Polly amy names is that true?

391
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: The boyfriend passed to Polly. The boyfriend and I believe

392
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: several members of the family have all passed Paula Grasse

393
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: because that's how you look at first, not just the

394
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: BF boyfriend, but you look at the stepfather too, you

395
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: look at everybody. It's really hard for me to imagine though.

396
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to go down the line

397
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: avenue that the boyfriend did it or the stepfather boyfriend's

398
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: stepfather did it, you would have to believe that either

399
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: the mother didn't hear a thing before she left, the

400
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: siblings heard nothing. There's that thirty minute window between seven

401
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: thirty and eight where mom took the others to school

402
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: before stepfather and BF left for airport. You'd have to

403
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: then believe that one of them committed the crime and

404
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: the other heard nothing or colluded. That complicates trying to

405
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: blame them. I mean, is it possible, sure? But is

406
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: that probable? Is it probable that one heard nothing when

407
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: a woman's being horribly bludgeoned and sex assaulted or colluded

408
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: in it. We do have the fly in the ointment.

409
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: Let me just say that she may have been asleep,

410
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: so she may not have been able to scream out.

411
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: But let's explore that in a moment. I'm off on

412
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: a tangent back to you, Joe Scott Morgan. That's the

413
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: best you can give me, That's the best They can

414
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: do eight to three. I mean, I've got the boyfriend's

415
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: mother telling me that why do I need a death investigator? Yeah?

416
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: No kidding, And keep in mind and per the report,

417
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: just like was just stated, police said that that didn't

418
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: come from them. They did not come from the emmy

419
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: that you know, the emmy was probably not The police

420
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: said what well, they said that they'd been dead, that

421
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: she had been They gave the assessment they talked about

422
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: in the report. They talked about the trauma that this

423
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: poor child sustained, and then they talked about this window

424
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: of time. You know, I've got to go to doctor

425
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Jeff Gardier on this just a moment, Doctor Jeff, if

426
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: I may call you that, long time friend, Board certified

427
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: clinical psychologist, Professor Behavioral Medicine TURO College at doctor Jeff

428
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Gardeer dot com, author of the Causes of Autism, and

429
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: I believe you've written several other books, have you not? Yes, Yes,

430
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: I have around family issue. Okay, doctor Jeff. I assume

431
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: you've seen Barney Fife and Andy Mayberry. Yes I have. Okay.

432
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: How is it that people think they know everything? For instance,

433
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: I just said I'm just a JD. I'm not an MD.

434
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know the intricacies of determining cod cause of

435
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: death or time of death. Why would a magistrate or

436
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: a cop think they know everything and not bring in

437
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: an expert. I think what you're looking at here is

438
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: a situation of don't say, small town mentality, don't go there. Okay,

439
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: well then you just uh, you know, torpedoed what I

440
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: was gonna say. So let me go in saying then

441
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: I can fight with you. Go ahead, okay, all right. Well,

442
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: it's a situation of a very small community and you

443
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: have individuals, perhaps you know in law enforcement or other

444
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: official capacities, who've done things in a certain way for

445
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: a certain time. You know, Nancy, we talk about standards

446
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: of care. In a large, large city, there are many

447
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: more options and many more exposures with regard to different

448
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: types of expertise in hospitals. Here, this is a situation

449
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: of something where you know, we're talking about a smaller

450
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: scope of expertise, and therefore individuals can be very confident

451
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: that they're giving what the standard care or standard expertise is.

452
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: But in this case, we know that it is not enough.

453
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: A lot more should have been done, can be done,

454
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: hopefully will be done, and I believe that there will

455
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: be more information and evidence that can be parsed out

456
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: and examined. Okay, still trying to figure out why people

457
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: think they know everything. I mean, what I do know

458
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: for sure is that I don't know everything. It's the

459
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: only thing I really know. And it would be a

460
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: cold a and h E double l to Miss Patricia

461
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: tyss as Britney's mother, that I would come upon a

462
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: crime scene. And I've been on many many homicide scenes

463
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: and think I knew it all. Sure, I know how

464
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: to make measurements and take pictures and look for forensic evidence.

465
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: But for instance, did they search the entire room and

466
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: home with lumin all to see if there had been

467
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: a struggle in another room? How can there be a

468
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: brutal sex attack and there's only DNA on her leg?

469
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: Did the person that raped her um wear a condom?

470
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: Did they wear plastic gloves? You said something? Or was

471
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: either Amy Knaves from Dart Aberrations said something that it

472
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: was commented the killer must have come in hermetically sealed

473
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: in plastic. Right? Was that humistice? That was? That's what

474
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the Attorney General investigator said to me. Explain what else

475
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: did the ag investigators say, Well, they said a whole lot,

476
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: mostly saying that the investigation is in the purview of

477
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Wood County Sheriff's Department. But when I would call Wood

478
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department, they would say, well, the Attorney General

479
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: has has the case. You know, a lot a lot

480
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: of passing the buck, not taking any accountability or responsibility

481
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: for Britney's investigation. Why would they do a teen girl

482
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: mother like that? I mean, if somebody screwed up the

483
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: investigation at the gate, go man up and say it

484
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: and try to start over as best as you can.

485
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Listen to our friends at k t K, there are

486
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: words now in my vocabulary that I just can't believe

487
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: that they're in there, you know, bludgeoned or sexual assault

488
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: or you know, even murder. But who's the culprit behind

489
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: those haunting words? Definitely made everyone feel very unsafe. Unanswered

490
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: questions leaves behind an eerie reminder of a cold hearted

491
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: killer at large, and those people are still out there.

492
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: They are still out there, so you can't be careful

493
00:32:47,000 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: enough time stories with Nancy Grace to doctor Jeff Gardier,

494
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: it's light cursing or taking drugs or drinking. You may

495
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: be apprehensive the first time, but then after that it

496
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: gets really easy. If someone has already committed a murder,

497
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: which they have, how easy will it be to do

498
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: it again, to for instance, cover up evidence, get rid

499
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: of a witness. Agree, disagree, doctor Jeff. Absolutely. One of

500
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: the psychological tenants we know is if you are not

501
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: discovered or you are not punished, then you will continue.

502
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Just not being discovered or punishment or punished is a

503
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: positive reinforcement to continue in your aberrant behaviors. Jess got Morgan,

504
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about them. The cod the mod cause a death,

505
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: manner of death. What do you think? First, Blush, it's

506
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: up closed, very personal, a lot of anger involved. I

507
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: think that goes without saying. And it is almost like

508
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: it is almost like she was tracked to this location.

509
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: That's why right now, right now, at this moment, Nancy,

510
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: my gut is not leaning toward the boyfriend's family. My

511
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: gut is leaning towards Lowe's distribution center. She just left

512
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: this place. It's about I don't know. I mean, it

513
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: looks like it's within about twenty miles of where she died. Now,

514
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: keep in mind it's in a separate county, and this

515
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: thing is vast, Nancy, this distribution center. I was looking

516
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: at a satellite image. They actually created an exit off

517
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: of Interstate thirty specifically for this place. It's massive. It's

518
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour day operation. And when you see

519
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: the scope of this place, and it's almost like a

520
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: straight shot when you leave out of that location, you

521
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: go down to Winnsboro Lake down to that location and

522
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: from there, and she could be easily followed. She's in

523
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: that environment. People know that she's leaving work, and God

524
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: only knows who was working in that location. We're talking

525
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: about unidentified DNA found on this baby's leg out there

526
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: at this scene, and I'm thinking, well, did they go

527
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: up there to lows and run through that entire group

528
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: of people that were employed at that point in time.

529
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about everybody from managers to forklift drivers and

530
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: to truck drivers. I mean, this is a distribution center.

531
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: They're hopping on I thirty to take stuff all over

532
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: the place. Stuff is coming in off of I thirty.

533
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 1: There's even a railhead there, Nancy. So for me, when

534
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: I look at this, that's what I'm thinking, Okay, let's

535
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: follow your hypothesis through to its logical conclusion. Let's pretend

536
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: someone did follow her from Lows. Then what do they do?

537
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: Hide out on a dead end road and nobody sees them,

538
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: and they wait until everybody leaves the home. I mean,

539
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: how would they know that the entire family was going

540
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: to leave? The mom with the two siblings, she goes

541
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: to work, takes into school. How would they know the

542
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: boyfriend and the boyfriend's stepfather going to leave at eight

543
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: am to go to the airport. So they sat there

544
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: and what hid behind a tree for an hour and

545
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: a half. Well, if it's somebody local that knows that location,

546
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: we don't know what she said to somebody at work.

547
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I'm dead tired, I've worked all night long.

548
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to my boyfriend's trailer. I hope nobody's there

549
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: that way. I'm going to sleep, and heads down to

550
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: that location by herself. Somebody up there may have known this. Remember,

551
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much information people share

552
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: with folks that they work with, But you know, some

553
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: people know a lot about you that work with you.

554
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: They know what your personal life is all about. Hey,

555
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: you know what, that's a really good point. To put

556
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: your should tice. This is Britney's mom still struggling for answers.

557
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Were any of the boyfriend's friends questioned someone that he

558
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: may have mentioned to I'm going to go pick up

559
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: my grandma from the airport, but hey, you can't come

560
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: over today because Britney's here. I mean, did anyone else

561
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: know within that circle that she would be there that morning?

562
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Alone and unattended? The teenage sister's boyfriend new teenage sister boyfriend.

563
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: Has he taken a polly or submitted DNA? He both,

564
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: and he failed his polygraph, but no DNA connection. DNA

565
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: is pretty convincing. Let me tell he's like one in

566
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: three trillion that you're not the person. Guys. The good

567
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: news here is there's a new sheriff in town, literally

568
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: rehashing this case. Take a listen hour cut twelve regarding

569
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: DNA at this point in time, you know, we'd look

570
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: at anyone or anything the crime scene, leaving behind DNA

571
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: evidence like bloodstains something they plan to retest. Let's use

572
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: technology we have now to try to see if we

573
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: can't solve this. But why over a decade later with

574
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: no answer? Cold case groups that have kind of looked

575
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: at some of this, did not look at evidence. They

576
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: just looked at the reports from things to Wendy Patrick

577
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: joining me, California prosecutor and author of Red Flags. Wendy,

578
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: that would be my first line of cross exam on

579
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: an expert witness for the defense. They didn't see the evidence.

580
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: They're making an opinion judging off written reports. You've got

581
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: to have this all the evidence we tested. Oh, that's

582
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: for sure. You know, memories may grow cold as to

583
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: the case, but you can breathe new life into a

584
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: cold case through technology. And that's what this new sheriff,

585
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: with his fresh set of eyes and his work ethic,

586
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: is intending to do. And that happens. I mean, we

587
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: have technology today that didn't exist even five years ago,

588
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: much less fifteen. He'll take another look at the lack

589
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: of forced entry. No DNA. I mean, you would have

590
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: thought the boyfriend's DNA would have been Now this is

591
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. I would always think it's suspicious

592
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: if it wasn't. But the fact that he's going to

593
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: take that fresh look, that's got to be great news

594
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: for Britney's family and for that community, because, as you said,

595
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: if somebody gets away with murder once, how hard is

596
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: it the next time? That is a huge point. I'm

597
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: thinking about something, Miss Tye told us. Patricia Ties Britney's mom,

598
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: and you can find her on Facebook. Who killed Britney McLoone.

599
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: You said the boyfriend's sister. Boyfriend flunked to Polly, you think,

600
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: but his DNA didn't match the DNA on her leg.

601
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: You know, you can flunt a Polly. She could be

602
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: under suspicion for murder and be innocent. But then you

603
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: lie on a Polly about smoking a joint and so

604
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: you fail your Polly. That doesn't mean he committed the murder,

605
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: but why would he flaunt the poly? Who else may

606
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: have known? She was there that day? And let me

607
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: remind everyone that the boyfriend and his stepfather were I

608
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: actually caught on surveillance video. Isn't that right, Miss Tye? Yes,

609
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: that's correct. Where at what time after eight o'clock going

610
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: from Winnsboro to the Dallas area, which is about a

611
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: two and a half hour drive each way, so it

612
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: can confirm that part of their story. Yes, Miss Tyce.

613
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: How do you keep going some days? I don't, Nancy,

614
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: It's just you know, losing my daughter that would be

615
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: bad enough, but then to murder, and thinking why anybody

616
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: would want to hurt her. She was a completely innocent victim.

617
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: And some days I just can't go forward, you know,

618
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: I just have to be still mysties. Tell me your

619
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: most vivid memory of Brittany. I have so many, just

620
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: even when I had her. I wanted a little girl

621
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: so bad, and she was a dream child, you know, smart, funny, caring,

622
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: not rebellious, no drugs, no alcohol, an honor student, and

623
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: she loved her family, and she made everyone that she

624
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: come in contact with, made them feel that they were

625
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: the most important person in her life. And I would

626
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: very often look at her and just wonder how I

627
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: got so lucky to have such, you know, a dream daughter.

628
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: Please help us solve the mystery surrounding Brittany like guns
