- 3:04Speaker 6: Rio Republica, which is a popular spring break bought in
- 3:08Speaker 6: Puntakana and the Dominican Republic. So surveillance footage shows that
- 3:14Speaker 6: she was headed to the beach with a group of friends,
- 3:16Speaker 6: and it was reported that there was a power outage
- 3:20Speaker 6: that prompted some of the hotel guests to go to
- 3:23Speaker 6: the beach in these early morning hours. But then the
- 3:27Speaker 6: surveillance footage shows that only some of that group returned
- 3:33Speaker 6: less than an hour later, and she was.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Not Some of that group does not include her. Take

- 3:48Speaker 1: Dr now joining me special guest, Sheriff Mike Chapman. He
- 3:53Speaker 1: is joining us from Lauden County Sheriff's office. He is
- 3:58Speaker 1: the sheriff. And you may wonder what does Sheriff Mike
- 4:01Speaker 1: Chapman have to do with this that she goes missing
- 4:04Speaker 1: on spring break in the dr Sheriff Chapman, thank you
- 4:08Speaker 1: for being with us, tell me your involvement in her case.
- 4:12Speaker 7: Well, good to be with you, and yeah, she's a
- 4:14Speaker 7: resident of Loudon County. So we received the missing personal
- 4:17Speaker 7: report from her father on the evening of the sixth,
- 4:20Speaker 7: and immediately we got on that got ahold of the
- 4:23Speaker 7: embassy down there and started getting their involvement because we
- 4:26Speaker 7: want to find out, like everybody else, exactly what happened here.
- 4:30Speaker 7: We still consider her a missing person. We're doing everything
- 4:33Speaker 7: in our power to work with the authorities down there,
- 4:37Speaker 7: with the FBI, with other agencies that are working with
- 4:40Speaker 7: the Dominican Republic to see if we can bring this
- 4:42Speaker 7: thing to a successful conclusion so that she's a resident
- 4:46Speaker 7: of ours. We take every missing person seriously. I've had
- 4:49Speaker 7: an opportunity to meet with the father and you know,
- 4:53Speaker 7: throwing my heart goes out. They're going through just a
- 4:56Speaker 7: try to set of circumstances right now, and we're doing
- 4:58Speaker 7: everything that we can to try to work with them,
- 5:00Speaker 7: with our Victim Assistants unit to kind of help with that,
- 5:04Speaker 7: as well as doing everything we can to assist with
- 5:07Speaker 7: the investigation.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Sheriff Mike Chapman joining me from lowd County Sheriff's. This
- 5:13Speaker 1: young girl is a resident along with her family there
- 5:17Speaker 1: and Sheriff. I can't imagine much worse than your child
- 5:21Speaker 1: going missing, and then your child going missing in another
- 5:26Speaker 1: jurisdiction across the ocean. You know, it seems like it's
- 5:31Speaker 1: a hop skipping a jump from the US, and it
- 5:33Speaker 1: is like, you know, an our flight, but.
- 5:36Speaker 3: It's a world away.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Their law enforcement is different, the way they process crime scenes,
- 5:42Speaker 1: their interaction with victims, family and sheriff.
- 5:47Speaker 3: It's conjuring up horrible image.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Of another young girl that goes on spring break and
- 5:55Speaker 1: is never seen again.
- 5:56Speaker 8: Listen tells me she doesn't want me to feel her up.
- 6:01Speaker 8: I insist I keep feeling her up either way, and
- 6:07Speaker 8: she needs me a sense of needing me in the crotch.
- 6:11Speaker 8: Once she needs me in the crotch, I get up
- 6:16Speaker 8: on the beach and I kick her extremely hard in
- 6:19Speaker 8: the face. Yeah, she's laying down unconscious, possibly even even dead,
- 6:30Speaker 8: but definitely unconscious. And I see right next to her,
- 6:36Speaker 8: a there's a huge cinder block laying on the beach.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Just hearing the voice of your Vanderslout, the judge's son
- 6:46Speaker 1: that murdered Natalie. It gives me a physical response. Now
- 6:53Speaker 1: that is the backdrop in everybody's mind in the search
- 6:59Speaker 1: for this beautiful young University Pittsburgh student.
- 7:03Speaker 9: You know, Sheriff.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Chapman, that has to be on your mind. If she did,
- 7:08Speaker 3: is she a lot?
- 7:09Speaker 1: Are we ever going to get an answer because we
- 7:11Speaker 1: never found Natalie's body, Well, of course.
- 7:15Speaker 7: It is, and everything's a possibility right now. That's why
- 7:17Speaker 7: we send investigators down there to actually get a first
- 7:20Speaker 7: hand account with Joshua Revey, the last person that we
- 7:25Speaker 7: know was with her, to try to get his side
- 7:27Speaker 7: of the story. There were some inconsistencies that surfaced kind
- 7:31Speaker 7: of early on, and we wanted to get the information firsthand.
- 7:34Speaker 7: I think those inconsistencies were minor and they probably had
- 7:37Speaker 7: more to do with the translation from me at least
- 7:39Speaker 7: to Spanish and vice versa. But that's why we sent
- 7:43Speaker 7: people down. We want to make sure we get in
- 7:44Speaker 7: the first hand account of what's going on there, working
- 7:47Speaker 7: with the Dominicans, working with the FBI down there, because
- 7:50Speaker 7: we just want to make sure that we don't leave
- 7:52Speaker 7: any stone unturned and we are concerned obviously, and we
- 7:56Speaker 7: want to do everything we can to help you resolve
- 7:59Speaker 7: this very challenging and difficult situation.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I got to tell you something, Sheriff Mike Chapman. I
- 8:04Speaker 1: am so heartened and relieved that you have sent your
- 8:07Speaker 1: people down there. I have study cases in the islands,
- 8:15Speaker 1: including in Mexico as well, and it's a whole another system.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's a whole another variety of law enforcement there, and
- 8:27Speaker 1: knowing that your people are there now the FBI has
- 8:30Speaker 1: joined in, is quite a comfort.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You mentioned that the main person of interest as he
- 8:37Speaker 1: is now called, has given several different statements, But after
- 8:42Speaker 1: analyzing the different statements, I'm not sure how different they
- 8:47Speaker 1: really are.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Let's listen.
- 8:50Speaker 9: In the first version of Reeby's account, he tells police
- 8:53Speaker 9: he and Kanonkey went into the water. He swallowed water
- 8:56Speaker 9: from the rough surf, which made him throw up, so
- 8:58Speaker 9: he went back to shore, but before leaving he asked
- 9:01Speaker 9: Kanaki if she was okay. Reebe says he got to
- 9:04Speaker 9: the shore and threw up and laid down.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Okay, let's just analyze that, okay, joining me as I
- 9:10Speaker 1: said an all star panel back to Sheriff Mike Chapman
- 9:13Speaker 1: that is his as it is called his first statement.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Do you agree that that generally is his first statement?
- 9:22Speaker 7: That seems to be yes, that would be his first statement,
- 9:25Speaker 7: and that seems to be pretty consistent with what he
- 9:27Speaker 7: said since that time.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a listen to his so called second statement.
- 9:33Speaker 4: In Joshua Reebe's second version of events, he claims he
- 9:36Speaker 4: and Sadiksha are in waste deep water where they are
- 9:38Speaker 4: talking and kissing when a roague wave crashes over them
- 9:41Speaker 4: and sweeps them into the current. Reebe claims they try
- 9:44Speaker 4: to call for help when they surface, but there is
- 9:46Speaker 4: no one around. Reebe further claims, as a certified lifeguard,
- 9:50Speaker 4: he grabs Kanaki and holds her under his arm as
- 9:53Speaker 4: he tries to swim back to shore, all the while
- 9:56Speaker 4: trying to get her to breathe as he pulls them
- 9:58Speaker 4: back to the beach, but struggle to catch his breath.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Okay, let's analyze what we're hearing. I don't know if
- 10:06Speaker 1: you have ever found this to be true. Joining me
- 10:08Speaker 1: high profile lawyer Eric Fattus, trial lawyer, TV Legal analysts
- 10:13Speaker 1: founding partner Varner Fattus Elite Legal Eric statements disturbed me
- 10:22Speaker 1: when I find a discrepancy, a conflict now upon questioning,
- 10:28Speaker 1: and they've been questioning this guy for hours and hours
- 10:31Speaker 1: and hours, why obviously they need to question for hours
- 10:34Speaker 1: and hours and hours.
- 10:34Speaker 3: He's the last one with her.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Everybody else leaves and leaves him, much like in the
- 10:39Speaker 1: Nalie Holloway case, everybody her friends left her, the Calpo
- 10:44Speaker 1: brothers left them alone.
- 10:46Speaker 3: On the beach, and she's never seen again.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Okay, So with that as a backdrop, his story changed,
- 10:53Speaker 1: your Vanderschlup's story changed dramatically. It was full of conflicts,
- 10:59Speaker 1: full discrepancies. But when you ask questions somebody for hours
- 11:04Speaker 1: and hours and hours and you ask them different questions,
- 11:07Speaker 1: that may elicit embellishment, additional facts you didn't hear the
- 11:12Speaker 1: first time not necessarily a conflict.
- 11:14Speaker 10: Yeah, Nancy, And looking at both statements, you know the
- 11:16Speaker 10: second statement has significantly more detail. It kind of tells
- 11:20Speaker 10: more of a harrowing story of rescuing her from the sea,
- 11:23Speaker 10: which wasn't entirely present in the first statement. It's my
- 11:26Speaker 10: understanding that being said, like you mentioned, when there are
- 11:29Speaker 10: multiple interviews, it's not uncommon for additional details to come
- 11:34Speaker 10: out as as each subsequent interview is had because there
- 11:38Speaker 10: are new questions that are being asked, their other details
- 11:40Speaker 10: the investigators have that they are prying into, and so
- 11:44Speaker 10: it's not entirely uncommon, and my read on it is
- 11:47Speaker 10: similar to that of the sheriffs.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Hmmm, okay, I want to believe you. I want to
- 11:51Speaker 3: believe the sheriff and.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Impute nothing but good intentions on everyone. But when you
- 12:01Speaker 1: look at the two statements, I mean, it just seems
- 12:04Speaker 1: to me. Let me go straight out to Ben Dobrain
- 12:08Speaker 1: joining me Emergency Medical Service, Marine Dive Team. Ben. It
- 12:15Speaker 1: seems to me that if I had grabbed somebody, which
- 12:20Speaker 1: I have with both.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Of my children, by the way, on separate occasions.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And pulled them to shore, that I would have mentioned
- 12:31Speaker 1: that the first time. The first time, he says, he
- 12:36Speaker 1: and she went into the water. He swallowed water, which
- 12:39Speaker 1: made him throw up. He went back to shore. He
- 12:42Speaker 1: asked her if she was okay. He got to shore
- 12:44Speaker 1: and threw up and laid down. Second version, he adds
- 12:49Speaker 1: they're kissing and making out in waste deep water. A
- 12:53Speaker 1: rogue wade crashes over them, sweeps them out into the current.
- 12:57Speaker 1: They try to call for help. No one around and
- 13:01Speaker 1: he holds her under his arm and tries to swim
- 13:05Speaker 1: back to shore, trying to get her to breathe. That
- 13:10Speaker 1: is a lot of information, Ben that he actually grabbed
- 13:14Speaker 1: her and pulled her back to safety.
- 13:16Speaker 3: I didn't hear that the first time.
- 13:18Speaker 11: Absolutely. And you know, an interesting thing is, yes, he
- 13:21Speaker 11: was a lifeguard, but he was a pool lifeguard. And
- 13:23Speaker 11: I want to point out there's a very clear distinction
- 13:25Speaker 11: between a pool lifeguard and being an ocean lifeguard. There's
- 13:28Speaker 11: very different tests, and the water is very different. Every
- 13:32Speaker 11: report both versions. The water was rough. Rough water is
- 13:36Speaker 11: very different than pool water. The bottom is different. In
- 13:39Speaker 11: the ocean, it's sandy, there's holes, there's dips, whereas in
- 13:41Speaker 11: a pool, you know, it's a pretty solid footing and
- 13:43Speaker 11: it's very predictable where it is. So you could be
- 13:45Speaker 11: walking in the water in the ocean and hit a
- 13:48Speaker 11: hole and be overhead you know, very quickly. But for
- 13:51Speaker 11: a pool trained the lifeguard, you know, to be doing
- 13:54Speaker 11: a rescue in the ocean, there's the waves, and you know,
- 13:58Speaker 11: one report said that he kept her head out of water.
- 14:00Speaker 11: He was trying to keep her head of the water,
- 14:01Speaker 11: but his head cup going underwater. That tells me he
- 14:04Speaker 11: didn't know how to do an ocean rescue, and it's
- 14:06Speaker 11: believable for somebody who's just a pool train lifeguard. And
- 14:09Speaker 11: you know, if he was throwing up water, if you've
- 14:12Speaker 11: ever been, you know, near drowning, and that's what that was.
- 14:15Speaker 11: If he's saying he was throwing up water, that thing
- 14:17Speaker 11: near drowning, he was concerned at that point, you know,
- 14:20Speaker 11: we're dealing with his own issues and not looking after her,
- 14:23Speaker 11: whether he brought her to shore or whether he abandoned her,
- 14:27Speaker 11: like the first one of the early versions that he
- 14:29Speaker 11: abandoned her in waste water thinking she could walk by herself,
- 14:32Speaker 11: back with the later version saying he brought her to
- 14:35Speaker 11: shore before he let her, you know, go. But either way,
- 14:38Speaker 11: you know he's supposed to go throwing her up.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Maybe projecting here, but I had a very serious dive
- 14:45Speaker 1: accident off the coast of Cosimo and nearly drowned and
- 14:50Speaker 1: was throwing up water.
- 14:51Speaker 3: It was kind of out of my nose, my mouth.
- 14:53Speaker 1: If you're in that shape, I don't know how you
- 14:56Speaker 1: can look around and see anything that's going on, which
- 14:59Speaker 1: goes to his benefit and to his detriment, because he
- 15:03Speaker 1: says he's throwing up and not paying attention, and he looked.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Around as she was gone.
- 15:08Speaker 1: On the other hand, he also says this now listen
- 15:13Speaker 1: to the third version.
- 15:15Speaker 9: Joshua Reebe gives a third version of events where he
- 15:18Speaker 9: heroically gets Sidikha Kanky back to shore, but says he
- 15:21Speaker 9: swallowed a lot of water and could have lost consciousness
- 15:24Speaker 9: several times. Reaching the ground of the beach, he pulls
- 15:27Speaker 9: Kanonki in front of himself and she casually walks together
- 15:30Speaker 9: her belongings in knee deep water. Reebe says he asks
- 15:33Speaker 9: her if she's okay, but doesn't hear an answer due
- 15:36Speaker 9: to vomiting all of the saltwater He's followed. While saving Kananki,
- 15:39Speaker 9: he says he looked around and doesn't see anyone. Assume
- 15:42Speaker 9: she grabbed her belongings and left. Feeling bad and tired,
- 15:45Speaker 9: Reebe says he fell asleep in a beach chair. Where
- 15:49Speaker 9: is missing twenty year old University of Pittsburgh students Sudikha Kananki,
- 15:54Speaker 9: The bio and chemistry student, was last seen on the
- 15:57Speaker 9: beach before mysteriously disappearing. Where is Sudiksha at this hour?
- 16:04Speaker 9: The FBI joining in the.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Search straight out to Sheriff Mike Chapman and joining us
- 16:08Speaker 1: from Loudin County Sheriff he is the shareff there who
- 16:11Speaker 1: assent reps from his office from his force down to
- 16:15Speaker 1: the d R to try to find her. I've got
- 16:19Speaker 1: a question and to your understanding, why is the FBI.
- 16:23Speaker 7: Involved, Well, they're the contact at the US embassy, probably
- 16:27Speaker 7: the best to lead this investigation from a US standpoint,
- 16:31Speaker 7: But you have to remember that it's the Dominican Republic
- 16:34Speaker 7: is so they it really is their investigation. So the
- 16:37Speaker 7: FBI is assisting, and we're assisting. And one of the
- 16:40Speaker 7: things that you brought up before, Nancy was the fact
- 16:42Speaker 7: that it's a foreign country here, and people have to
- 16:45Speaker 7: understand it may seem like America when you get there,
- 16:49Speaker 7: because you know, a resort like that, people are speaking
- 16:51Speaker 7: English and they're you know, it seems very friendly with
- 16:54Speaker 7: a lot of Americans there. But the fact is it's
- 16:56Speaker 7: a foreign country and there's a lot a lot of
- 16:59Speaker 7: other things that you have to deal with when you're
- 17:01Speaker 7: when you're in a foreign country. So we're assisting in
- 17:03Speaker 7: the FBI, who was actually assisting the Dominican authorities there.
- 17:07Speaker 7: And but again I send my people down because we
- 17:10Speaker 7: wanted to get a first hand account and not here,
- 17:13Speaker 7: you know secondhand information.
- 17:15Speaker 1: You know, Sheriff, you've got a great record, You're beloved
- 17:18Speaker 1: and looked up to in your jurisdiction. But can we
- 17:21Speaker 1: just get real for a moment. The law enforcement in
- 17:25Speaker 1: the d R. Are you kidding me? You think I'm
- 17:28Speaker 1: going to trust the law enforcement in the d R.
- 17:32Speaker 6: No, I'm not.
- 17:34Speaker 3: You know, I started writing a book, Don't Be a Victim.
- 17:37Speaker 3: I got to the DR.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I practically had to write a whole chapter for Pete's sake.
- 17:41Speaker 1: You think they've got touched DNA? You think they know
- 17:44Speaker 1: how to use a VAT at a crime scene or
- 17:48Speaker 1: complicated blood spatter.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Or anything remotely like what we have developed in the
- 17:55Speaker 3: United States. That's a yes, No, Sheriff. Do you really.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Believe that their investigation even approaches what we would consider
- 18:05Speaker 1: a world class investigation like you would find in your jurisdiction.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Well, I'm retired from VA. I served three times overseas,
- 18:12Speaker 7: and you're right, Nancy, you can't You know that there's
- 18:15Speaker 7: a huge difference between what our foreign counterparts can do
- 18:18Speaker 7: and what we can do and the capabilities that we
- 18:20Speaker 7: have in the US. I think the best thing that's
- 18:22Speaker 7: going on here right now is the fact that staying
- 18:25Speaker 7: in the news, it kind of forces them to make
- 18:29Speaker 7: sure that they're on their game because they've got oversight,
- 18:31Speaker 7: they've got they've got everybody looking at it from across
- 18:34Speaker 7: the globe here with regards to the media. You have
- 18:36Speaker 7: the FBI that's looking at what they're doing down there,
- 18:38Speaker 7: you have US that's looking at what they're doing. So
- 18:41Speaker 7: the fact is that I think all that helps hold
- 18:44Speaker 7: them more accountable, and it gives us the opportunity to
- 18:47Speaker 7: share some of the capabilities that we have with them.
- 18:51Speaker 7: And I know, you know, like the FBI, for example,
- 18:53Speaker 7: I believe send a dive team down So there's a lot,
- 18:56Speaker 7: there's a lot that we can offer there. And and
- 18:59Speaker 7: again it's poor country, so we were trying to kind
- 19:02Speaker 7: of help with them, help guide them through it a
- 19:04Speaker 7: little bit and make sure they're not missing anything.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Okay, Sheriff Mike Chapman, You're you're being overly kind in
- 19:10Speaker 1: your analysis, in my opinion, because every foreign investigation into
- 19:18Speaker 1: a US citizen going missing.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Has gone sideways.
- 19:24Speaker 11: Listen, when you say cinder block, I'm looking at the
- 19:27Speaker 11: walls this place isn't like those.
- 19:30Speaker 8: Exact same cinder blocks. I see a huge cinder block
- 19:33Speaker 8: laying on the on the beach. I take this and
- 19:40Speaker 8: I smash her head in with it. Completely. Her face basically,
- 19:47Speaker 8: you know, collapses in. Even though it's dark, I can
- 19:51Speaker 8: see her faces collapsed in afterwards. I don't exactly know
- 19:59Speaker 8: what you know. I'm I'm scared. I don't know what
- 20:05Speaker 8: to do.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Joining me, a longtime colleague and friend, Professor Forensis Jacksonville
- 20:23Speaker 1: State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon,
- 20:27Speaker 1: star of a hit series of body Bags with Joseph Morgan.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Joe Scott, you were with me in the courtroom there
- 20:35Speaker 1: at the Hugo Black Federal Building with Beth Holloway. You
- 20:41Speaker 1: just heard the double killer yourn Vandersloot describing how he
- 20:46Speaker 1: murdered Natalie Holloway in Aruba, and you recall, Joe Scott,
- 20:53Speaker 1: that Beth.
- 20:54Speaker 3: And I went back to Aruba.
- 20:57Speaker 1: To try on our own to stir up find more clues,
- 21:03Speaker 1: more anything to help find Natalie. Your vander Slute was
- 21:10Speaker 1: in court fourteen years later, and we still don't really
- 21:17Speaker 1: know what happened.
- 21:17Speaker 3: To now. The only thing I know is one thing
- 21:20Speaker 3: that he sex attacked her and he murdered her. So
- 21:26Speaker 3: all this about we're helping Dominican Republic.
- 21:32Speaker 1: We better go there and take over the investigation and
- 21:36Speaker 1: let them help us.
- 21:38Speaker 3: You really think, Joe.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Scott Morgan, that they have adequately handled the investigation into
- 21:45Speaker 1: where is Tadiitsha?
- 21:47Speaker 3: No, they haven't, and we lost critical time, critical time,
- 21:52Speaker 3: Joe Scott.
- 21:53Speaker 12: Yeah. Pressure pressure, pressure is what has to constantly be
- 21:56Speaker 12: applied in here, and you cannot take the spotlight off
- 21:59Speaker 12: of this case. We've seen how these cases have gone
- 22:02Speaker 12: over the years, and certainly Natalie's case is a benchmark
- 22:07Speaker 12: in time relative to what can happen as memories begin
- 22:11Speaker 12: to erode, and we don't want that to happen in
- 22:14Speaker 12: this particular case. In the DR we have to continue
- 22:17Speaker 12: to press and I would suggest as well, the party
- 22:21Speaker 12: that she was with, and I'm talking about this fellow
- 22:24Speaker 12: that she was last seen with, I'm talking about all
- 22:27Speaker 12: of her friends that were there. They need to be
- 22:30Speaker 12: sequestered and they need to be pressed about all of
- 22:34Speaker 12: the activities that they engaged in that evening relative to
- 22:38Speaker 12: any kind of consumption of alcohol. Her behavior prior to
- 22:42Speaker 12: interacting with this young man, and then perhaps if they
- 22:45Speaker 12: observed her interacting with him on any level, whether it
- 22:48Speaker 12: be violent, whether it be romantic as he has implied,
- 22:53Speaker 12: if you will. And you know, my biggest thing here
- 22:57Speaker 12: is were there any agents that were applied to her
- 23:01Speaker 12: relative to things that she had consumed? Remember, one of
- 23:04Speaker 12: the things that happened in the Holloway case was that
- 23:08Speaker 12: we had suspected for some period of time that there
- 23:12Speaker 12: may have been some kind of anebriant that was applied
- 23:15Speaker 12: to her in her drinks at that particular time. I'm
- 23:18Speaker 12: thinking about things like GHB, date rape drugs, those sorts
- 23:21Speaker 12: of things. So word of warning here that needs to
- 23:25Speaker 12: be because listen, don't we don't have her to do
- 23:30Speaker 12: a talks draw on, okay, so we can't tell you
- 23:33Speaker 12: what's going on with her talks Coologically, all we have
- 23:37Speaker 12: to rely upon are those people that were there as
- 23:40Speaker 12: witnesses to what had happened prior to her going missing
- 23:44Speaker 12: that night. That's going to be Key Nay.
- 23:48Speaker 3: A spring break trip takes a turn.
- 23:50Speaker 2: For the worst when twenty year old University of Pittsburgh
- 23:53Speaker 2: student Suditcha Kannkey vanishes after a night out.
- 23:57Speaker 3: We're friends.
- 24:00Speaker 1: See that video one more time. I want to make
- 24:01Speaker 1: sure you see what I'm seeing. This is from our
- 24:04Speaker 1: friend at know to see us, our friends that know
- 24:06Speaker 1: to see us. Now she's on the left. Look there,
- 24:08Speaker 1: she goes, throwing up. That's Sadiksha on the left. A
- 24:11Speaker 1: friend is there, see right there? Okay, and they're talking
- 24:15Speaker 1: to each other. But if you look on the right,
- 24:17Speaker 1: we believe that is him. See him, we think on
- 24:22Speaker 1: the right throwing up out by trash can Now is
- 24:28Speaker 1: that everyone else's understanding or is that what we're seeing.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Let's just start it over one more time.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Which leads me to Joe Scott Morgan's question, what did
- 24:37Speaker 1: they ingest that's making them throw up?
- 24:42Speaker 3: Okay, take a listen to this.
- 24:45Speaker 9: Sadiksha Kinanki and five college friends arrive in the Dominican
- 24:48Speaker 9: Republic on March third. They've booked rooms at the all
- 24:51Speaker 9: inclusive resort Rio Republica in Puntakana. A couple of days later,
- 24:55Speaker 9: Sadeksha and her friends are dancing in a disco when
- 24:57Speaker 9: the resort experiences a twenty five hour power outage in
- 25:00Speaker 9: some areas. The group of six women and two men
- 25:03Speaker 9: decide to go for a moonlight walk on the beach.
- 25:05Speaker 9: Surveillance videos document Sidiksha Kananki in five women along with
- 25:08Speaker 9: two men, walking toward the beach. About an hour later,
- 25:10Speaker 9: surveillance footage shows five women and one man leaving the beach.
- 25:13Speaker 9: Kananki apparently stays behind on the beach with Joshua Reeve,
- 25:17Speaker 9: a twenty four year old spring breaker from the US.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Okay, guys, you are seeing more from our friends at
- 25:22Speaker 1: SI N. Take a look at this. Now we are
- 25:25Speaker 1: seeing the two of them walking. Okay, Now I understand
- 25:30Speaker 1: that this is after There they are, Yes, there they are,
- 25:34Speaker 1: and that is consistent with what he was wearing when
- 25:38Speaker 1: he was vomiting. Remember in that video you see the
- 25:41Speaker 1: white sneakers, the white sox, the shorts, and the backpack.
- 25:46Speaker 1: That's why we believe that was him vomiting at a
- 25:49Speaker 1: trash can outside.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Now you've got another view.
- 25:52Speaker 1: This is for our friends at SIN surveillance video catching
- 25:56Speaker 1: there you see the group, they're all walking to the.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Beach, arm in arm there you go. Now what happened
- 26:05Speaker 3: after that?
- 26:07Speaker 1: To doctor Chloe Carmichael, joining US clinical psychologist and author
- 26:10Speaker 1: of Nervous Energy Harness the pair of your anxiety, and
- 26:14Speaker 1: you can find her on Twitter at doctor Chloe Doctor Chloe.
- 26:19Speaker 1: As Sheriff Mike Chapman was saying earlier, it feels like
- 26:23Speaker 1: the US, and that gives you the suggestion of safety,
- 26:31Speaker 1: that you understand what's around you, that you understand what's happening. Typically,
- 26:37Speaker 1: you go into a bar and you're dancing and have
- 26:39Speaker 1: a good time with your friends. In the US, it's
- 26:42Speaker 1: unlikely it happens, but it's unlikely you're going to get
- 26:46Speaker 1: drug to start throwing up. It's unlikely you're going to
- 26:50Speaker 1: be separated from your friends. It can happen, but you're functioning.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Maybe it's because you're on vacation. I'm not sure what
- 26:56Speaker 1: it is. Your defenses are down and you're functioning in
- 27:00Speaker 1: a bubble.
- 27:02Speaker 13: Explain that, Yeah, Nancy, I agree, there's something really strange.
- 27:07Speaker 13: You know, even for spring break, it's definitely noteworthy that
- 27:11Speaker 13: they're sitting there at a bar with their friends, everyone's
- 27:14Speaker 13: dressed up, looking nice, and then they're literally sitting there puking,
- 27:19Speaker 13: but they don't even seem bothered by it. It really
- 27:22Speaker 13: does point to a serious possibility of you know, maybe
- 27:26Speaker 13: taking ecstasy or drugs where you kind of expect to
- 27:29Speaker 13: throw up before you then start to feel good. And
- 27:32Speaker 13: it makes me wonder. Since that young man pictured obviously
- 27:35Speaker 13: appears to be a wrestler, I wonder if he's on
- 27:38Speaker 13: a wrestling scholarship. I wonder if that's holding him back
- 27:42Speaker 13: from coming forward and saying, yeah, I was taking illegal
- 27:45Speaker 13: drugs and there was you know, I didn't intend to
- 27:48Speaker 13: hurt her, but you know, something went wrong with the drugs,
- 27:51Speaker 13: and maybe he's concerned about losing his scholarship. I'm not
- 27:56Speaker 13: sure because she doesn't fit the profile of a serial
- 28:00Speaker 13: risk seeker, right. You know, she's very organized, she's in
- 28:03Speaker 13: a pre med program. She's only there on a vacation,
- 28:07Speaker 13: so something about it definitely seems strange. I would also
- 28:10Speaker 13: be curious since he says that he went and fell
- 28:13Speaker 13: asleep in a chair. That doesn't sound like somebody who's
- 28:16Speaker 13: guilty and trying to evade the scene of a crime.
- 28:19Speaker 13: We have a lot of video of him before the incident.
- 28:21Speaker 13: I'm curious about the first time that he appears on
- 28:23Speaker 13: video after the disappearance.
- 28:26Speaker 3: I agree with you, now, this is what he says happens.
- 28:29Speaker 9: Listen after the night on the beach Kanaki's friends go
- 28:31Speaker 9: on an excursion that Kanaki had not signed up for,
- 28:34Speaker 9: so they don't miss her. As they head out at
- 28:36Speaker 9: eight fifty five am, Joshua Reebe returns to his hotel
- 28:39Speaker 9: room alone, without his shoes or his shirt. It's only
- 28:42Speaker 9: after Sidekha's friends return that afternoon they realized they don't
- 28:46Speaker 9: know where Sidekha is. Tracking down Joshua Reebe, he says
- 28:49Speaker 9: he passed out on the beach and when he awoke,
- 28:51Speaker 9: he was alone and went to his hotel room, assuming
- 28:54Speaker 9: Kanaki had already done the same. But it's been twelve
- 28:57Speaker 9: hours since she was last seen.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Now I want to look at the video again. But
- 29:01Speaker 1: to Eric Fattus, what about a cell phone?
- 29:05Speaker 10: The cell phone is always a critical piece of evidence
- 29:09Speaker 10: in a case like this. It needs to be looked
- 29:10Speaker 10: into a little more further. I think when you look
- 29:12Speaker 10: at that video that we just saw of the two
- 29:14Speaker 10: walking near the hotel at night, really has what appears
- 29:18Speaker 10: to be a cell phone in his hands, sort of
- 29:19Speaker 10: documenting what's going on, common sense would tell us that
- 29:22Speaker 10: that could be his cell phone. But later in some
- 29:26Speaker 10: reports I've read, he tells police that after he's at
- 29:29Speaker 10: the beach, he goes back to his own room to
- 29:33Speaker 10: get his cell phone. So when did he drop it off?
- 29:36Speaker 10: Is there some sort of evidence of that, did someone
- 29:38Speaker 10: go with him? Is there a witness statement to corroborate that.
- 29:41Speaker 10: What is going on with the cell phone? And what
- 29:43Speaker 10: might it show about what happened?
- 29:44Speaker 1: We're learning, good point, Eric Fattus, we're learning more about
- 29:48Speaker 1: the timeline now the vomiting, the vomiting video.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is.
- 29:54Speaker 1: There's what we believe is his cell phone, you're right, Eric,
- 30:00Speaker 1: And it looks like he's videoing a selfie video.
- 30:03Speaker 3: You're right? Is that his? Or is that hers? And
- 30:06Speaker 3: has her cell phone been found?
- 30:08Speaker 1: The vomiting incident is around four five am?
- 30:15Speaker 3: Okay, now listen to this.
- 30:18Speaker 14: CCTV helps shot a timeline for Joshua Rebeat starting around
- 30:22Speaker 14: four am, when he is seen with his arm draped
- 30:24Speaker 14: around Sudeiksha Kanonkey as they are headed to the beach
- 30:27Speaker 14: at the resort. Joshua Rebe is spotted on CCTV walking
- 30:31Speaker 14: back alone from the beach at eight fifty five am.
- 30:34Speaker 14: Suditsha is not seen on CCTV returning from the beach.
- 30:38Speaker 1: So we've got four to five they're throwing up and
- 30:42Speaker 1: walking toward the beach. And now look at this shot.
- 30:45Speaker 1: This is the shot we're talking about eight fifty five
- 30:51Speaker 1: between four five am and eight fifty five am, this happens, Okay,
- 30:57Speaker 1: Sheriff Mike Chapman.
- 30:59Speaker 7: Way in, Well, I can tell you you know, we're
- 31:03Speaker 7: we are looking at the phones. We have the numbers.
- 31:06Speaker 7: There's there is work that's being done on that. I
- 31:08Speaker 7: can't really go into the detail on that. We do
- 31:11Speaker 7: have some extensive investigation that's being done on that, and
- 31:15Speaker 7: that's going to take a little a little bit of
- 31:16Speaker 7: time to get that information back. But it's not it's
- 31:20Speaker 7: not anything that's been an oversight on the investigator's part. Again,
- 31:24Speaker 7: working with the FBI, work come with our counterparts and
- 31:27Speaker 7: trying to do the best we can to get as
- 31:29Speaker 7: much information as we can with regards to the phones.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Will you say, as much information as you can regarding
- 31:34Speaker 1: the phone, Sheriff Chapman. Have they found both of their phones?
- 31:39Speaker 7: Again, I can't really get into that. What I can
- 31:41Speaker 7: tell you is that we do have the numbers of
- 31:45Speaker 7: I believe everybody who is down there involved, and there
- 31:49Speaker 7: is there is some technical work that's being done on that.
- 31:53Speaker 7: But again that's you know, it's it's part of the
- 31:56Speaker 7: ongoing investigation, and really we can't really discuss a whole
- 32:00Speaker 7: lot more.
- 32:01Speaker 1: After careful analysis, there's not that much difference in what
- 32:06Speaker 1: he's saying in his multiple versions. Also, according to a
- 32:11Speaker 1: Kanukie family friend, he was very helpful.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Listen to what they told our friends at ABC.
- 32:18Speaker 5: We walked to the beach along with the boy, and
- 32:21Speaker 5: the boy helped us, and he was annoying us kind
- 32:25Speaker 5: of like what really happened and.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Where he was our friends at ABC.
- 32:35Speaker 2: The investigation intensifies for missing twenty year old Pittsburgh student
- 32:39Speaker 2: Sudiksha Kanukey last.
- 32:41Speaker 14: Seen him on the beach well on a spring.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Break trip with friends. Where is Sudiksha? How is it?
- 32:50Speaker 1: She goes out to the beach, she is kissing a
- 32:54Speaker 1: guy and about waste deep water, and suddenly she's washed
- 32:59Speaker 1: out to see rebe the well. It's the so called
- 33:05Speaker 1: person of interest. But now we're learning that dr is
- 33:08Speaker 1: backtracking saying he's not really a person of interest, he's
- 33:12Speaker 1: a witness. Now I find that really interesting that they're
- 33:16Speaker 1: holding him there. He can't believe they've got his passport yet.
- 33:19Speaker 1: He's just a witness. Let me ask you about that,
- 33:23Speaker 1: Earv Brant. Now I am transposing the US justice system
- 33:29Speaker 1: onto the dr which was anything but true. But you
- 33:34Speaker 1: have to be a POI or a suspect or be
- 33:38Speaker 1: named a material witness by a court before you can
- 33:44Speaker 1: have your passport taken, seized and forced to stay there.
- 33:48Speaker 3: At least that's a law in the US.
- 33:50Speaker 15: What's happening, Well, it's exactly what you said, Nancy. We
- 33:55Speaker 15: view these things as we would view them in the US,
- 33:58Speaker 15: which once you leave the US, it's completely different. Their country,
- 34:05Speaker 15: their rules.
- 34:06Speaker 3: And not in a good way or not in a
- 34:09Speaker 3: good way.
- 34:09Speaker 15: No, I no, I agree in most cases, Nancy, I
- 34:13Speaker 15: worked extensively outside of the country, and it's very frustrating.
- 34:18Speaker 15: But each country has their own way of doing things.
- 34:22Speaker 15: And if they take his passport, then they take his
- 34:26Speaker 15: passport and he can leave until they tell him he
- 34:29Speaker 15: can leave.
- 34:30Speaker 1: I've never accused you of putting perfume on the pig,
- 34:33Speaker 1: but I guess I'll have to do it for the
- 34:34Speaker 1: first time right now. Or every country has their own
- 34:37Speaker 1: way of doing things, you mean, their own way of
- 34:39Speaker 1: botching up an investigation.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be a little more accurate, just like Innaruba.
- 34:44Speaker 15: Yes, that would be more accurate, Nancy, I'm being far
- 34:48Speaker 15: too nice.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know why.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Because every hour counts if she is still alive, and
- 34:55Speaker 1: there is that possibility anything could have happened to.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Her, our counts and while we.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Are tiptoeing around the fact that the d are screwing
- 35:04Speaker 1: this up, that's one more hour.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Lost Earth, one more hour.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Thank Heaven, Chapman, send his people down in the FBI
- 35:14Speaker 1: are involved.
- 35:15Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Scott helped me out. Am I just
- 35:17Speaker 3: screaming down the window going down Third Avenue.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Every hour counts here, and we can't rely on the
- 35:24Speaker 1: DR to do anything.
- 35:26Speaker 12: One of the biggest concerns for me, Nancy, is the
- 35:29Speaker 12: idea that this is not like a broad spectrum approach
- 35:32Speaker 12: relative to an investigation. If they're only focused on this
- 35:36Speaker 12: one kid here, this one guy they that she was
- 35:39Speaker 12: last seen with, you're going to miss other things along
- 35:43Speaker 12: the way. I have a real issue with both of these,
- 35:47Speaker 12: both of these individuals almost throwing up simultaneously.
- 35:51Speaker 11: At that bar.
- 35:52Speaker 12: I want to know if there's any other kind of
- 35:54Speaker 12: illness that could be associated there on there, and I
- 35:57Speaker 12: want to know if anybody's been following this.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Scott, do you recall the extensive investigation we did into
- 36:05Speaker 1: alcohol poisoning at these all inclusive result resorts that have
- 36:11Speaker 1: ended in the deaths of several Americans. You go to
- 36:16Speaker 1: a bar, you have something to drink. Is bootleg whiskey
- 36:19Speaker 1: put in a US model? Okay, it might say seagrums
- 36:23Speaker 1: or something else on the front, but you're getting some
- 36:26Speaker 1: hooch made in somebody's garage.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Okay, that's happening.
- 36:32Speaker 12: Dave and I just covered cases out of Southeast Asia
- 36:35Speaker 12: involved in methanol and they are a huge group of
- 36:38Speaker 12: these cases that have happened in Turkey as well, Nancy,
- 36:42Speaker 12: where you're not using ethanol, which is what we consume
- 36:45Speaker 12: alcohol was, they make bootleg hoots or bathtub gin out
- 36:50Speaker 12: of methanol, which is very, very dangerous stuff. I want
- 36:54Speaker 12: to know if there's any other instances down in the
- 36:57Speaker 12: dr at this specific resort that have led and it
- 37:01Speaker 12: can lead to things like blindness, nausea, and ultimately death.
- 37:05Speaker 12: I want to know if anybody else was presenting that
- 37:07Speaker 12: way that night. That's what I mean by broad spectrum here.
- 37:10Speaker 12: You can't just narrow your focus down to this one event.
- 37:13Speaker 12: We want to know what else was going on around
- 37:15Speaker 12: them that night. And again, this could be a PR
- 37:18Speaker 12: nightmare for the dr if there is any kind of
- 37:22Speaker 12: problem with an alcohol down all right, Like it was.
- 37:24Speaker 1: A PR nightmare for Aruba when Natalie went missing, Tourism
- 37:28Speaker 1: from the US skyrocketed. Okay, So when you don't know
- 37:32Speaker 1: a horse, look at the track record. When you don't
- 37:34Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, look at what already did happen.
- 37:37Speaker 3: But I agree with you, Joe Scott. We can't get
- 37:40Speaker 3: total vision on Rebet. Now. Yes, I've got a problem
- 37:45Speaker 3: with him. Of course I've got a problem with him.
- 37:47Speaker 1: He's the last one with a girl in all I've
- 37:49Speaker 1: got is a flip flop and a sarong.
- 37:51Speaker 3: He's the last one with her.
- 37:53Speaker 1: And his story is all over the map, not necessarily
- 37:58Speaker 1: consistent though, So yes, looking at him, but total vision
- 38:02Speaker 1: is not going to help find her. And as a
- 38:06Speaker 1: matter of fact, this is what people that know Rebee
- 38:08Speaker 1: have to say.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Josh was just so polite.
- 38:12Speaker 6: He was a good teammate in sports, and he was
- 38:15Speaker 6: part of the boy scout troop.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Never heard a girl.
- 38:19Speaker 10: You know, I don't know what happened, but there's no
- 38:21Speaker 10: way he would have intentionally been any part of any
- 38:24Speaker 10: scheme to do something to her.
- 38:26Speaker 3: From our friends at GMA.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Authorities are looking at on Iowa Man, believed to be
- 38:33Speaker 2: the last person to see missing University of Pittsburgh students
- 38:36Speaker 2: Sudiksha Kanunki.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Also under the microscope. Two then MO payments.
- 38:44Speaker 1: One we don't know exactly what it is, but Sudiksha
- 38:47Speaker 1: put an emoji of a sailboat beside the venmo payment.
- 38:52Speaker 3: You know, you can put a little.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Message in there, And the other one is to replaced
- 38:56Speaker 1: Coco Bongo. To Emily Layman, joining from past dot Com,
- 39:01Speaker 1: explain to me about the two venmos and where they
- 39:04Speaker 1: fit into the timeline.
- 39:05Speaker 6: They fit in the timeline because those are the last
- 39:09Speaker 6: Venmo transactions that she had, and these are you know,
- 39:13Speaker 6: you think, payments that she would send between friends for
- 39:17Speaker 6: the activities that they were doing when they were on
- 39:20Speaker 6: their spring break trip. But one of them, of course,
- 39:24Speaker 6: you don't really know much about because all it has
- 39:25Speaker 6: is a sailboat emoji and we don't really know much
- 39:27Speaker 6: information about who that went to. And then the other one,
- 39:33Speaker 6: of course, you know, I went to who was confirmed
- 39:36Speaker 6: to be a friend with her on the trip, but
- 39:40Speaker 6: we don't know who else was at that nightclub.
- 39:44Speaker 1: The thinking is the sailboat emerging emoji indicates it could
- 39:48Speaker 1: have been an excursion. And like doctor Chloe Carmichael was
- 39:51Speaker 1: telling us earlier, you kind of suspend your reality. You're
- 39:56Speaker 1: functioning under the illusion that you're safe. You made it guy,
- 40:00Speaker 1: and you immediately go for a walk on the beach
- 40:02Speaker 1: and go out in the water with him alone.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Why why?
- 40:06Speaker 1: Of course she's young, but it's happened before, and not
- 40:11Speaker 1: just with Natalie Holloway.
- 40:12Speaker 16: Robin Gardner needed a get away. Gardner it had met
- 40:15Speaker 16: Gary Giordano on match dot com a year before. Friends
- 40:19Speaker 16: say the two weren't super close and had a platonic relationship,
- 40:23Speaker 16: but stayed in contact via email. When the invitation came,
- 40:26Speaker 16: Robin said yes, and the pair arrived in a Ruba
- 40:29Speaker 16: July thirty.
- 40:30Speaker 14: First.
- 40:31Speaker 17: I was told that she was lost at sea, and
- 40:33Speaker 17: I just found that very surprising because I know that
- 40:38Speaker 17: she really doesn't swim or get into the water because
- 40:42Speaker 17: she has extensions and.
- 40:46Speaker 11: Her makeup and got all called up and she.
- 40:50Speaker 17: Just didn't want to ruin that.
- 40:51Speaker 1: And that was Robin's sister talking to me and apparently
- 40:55Speaker 1: with Robin Gardner's case, she just washed out to see okay,
- 41:01Speaker 1: although she would never have gotten in the water after
- 41:04Speaker 1: just having.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Her hair done. And there's more. What about Wesley Bell?
- 41:08Speaker 9: TeX's native Wesley Bell is in the Bahamas, tending a
- 41:11Speaker 9: yoga retreat on Paradise Island in Nassau. The Seven Andra
- 41:15Speaker 9: Ashram Yoga Retreat, Bahamas featured in The New York Times,
- 41:18Speaker 9: Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop and huff Post as a top travel destination.
- 41:22Speaker 9: Danielle Ward Packard, who was at the retreat at the
- 41:25Speaker 9: same time as Belle, says he walked off by himself
- 41:27Speaker 9: to snorkel one day and never returned. Searches are conducted,
- 41:31Speaker 9: but Belle is never found, and Taylor Casey Taylor Casey
- 41:35Speaker 9: goes missing from the same Behavian retreat. Casey disappears about
- 41:39Speaker 9: halfway through getting a yoga instructor's certification as seven Andro
- 41:43Speaker 9: on Ashram Yoga. Last scene at the Ashram, she's reported
- 41:47Speaker 9: missing after failing to show up for morning classes. Police
- 41:50Speaker 9: find her phone in the water days later, but haven't
- 41:52Speaker 9: been able to access its contents, and she remains missing.
- 41:56Speaker 1: To Sheriff Mike Chapman, how is it people just walk
- 42:00Speaker 1: out in the water and they're never seen again according
- 42:03Speaker 1: to reports.
- 42:04Speaker 3: Don't you find that disturbing, Sheriff?
- 42:07Speaker 7: Of course. I mean if if that was the case
- 42:10Speaker 7: in this case, I mean, you know, you certainly would
- 42:13Speaker 7: hope for a recovery, a quick recovery. But that hasn't happened.
- 42:17Speaker 7: So that's why we can't really jump on a conclusion
- 42:20Speaker 7: ship jamply. Yeah, it's a shame, but it does happen
- 42:24Speaker 7: from time to time.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I wish I had better answers tonight, Sheriff. Usually the
- 42:28Speaker 1: facts are more clearly defined, but this is just too
- 42:32Speaker 1: murky to make a call. But what we do know
- 42:36Speaker 1: is this young girl pre med Suditsha is gone. Tip
- 42:44Speaker 1: line Local number seven zero three seven seven seven one
