  Speaker 1: this mother needs to declare her daughter dead to find

• 0:58
  Speaker 4: It haunts me every day.

• 1:23
  Speaker 1: start today with a missing girl, a dangerous predator lying
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in wait, and a diary of deadly intentions. For that,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: let's head out to our Melissa McCarty. Hey me listen, Chris.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Nine year old Elizabeth Olton went missing from her home
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and what police would uncover in the next few weeks
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: would rock this Missouri town. The thrill I wonder what
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: it would feel like to kill. It's a deadly attack
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: on innocence and finding the person responsible.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I was shocked.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It was crazy will lead detectives into the heart of darkness.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Walked her into the woods, telling her I've got something
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to really neat. I want to show you.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the heartache is still as great you can tell.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's about a week before Halloween and the residents of
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Saint Martin's, Missouri are about to discover that not all
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: monsters are make believe.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Have you ever seen anything like this?
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: I never have, and I hope never to see another
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: case like this.
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: It seems stupid now that we didn't do more about it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: but there's no way.
• 2:27
  Speaker 11: I could have known.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: There was no way anyone could have known. It's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: typical Wednesday night at home for Patty Price and her
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: three kids, Anthony, Stephanie, and the youngest, nine year old
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth Olton.
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: Well, she was going to be in a play at school,
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: so she was practicing her lines and doing their little
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: songs and irritating her brother. And I was getting ready
• 2:51
  Speaker 10: to kick dinner when there's.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: A knock at the door. It's a six year old
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: girl who lives across the woods.
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: Did ask if Elizabeth could go play, And originally I
• 3:01
  Speaker 10: told her no because I was getting ready to make dinner,
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: and both girls hopping up and down begging one to
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: go play.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: It's like, okay, you can go for an hour. She
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: had to be home by six.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It is late October and the sun sets at six
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: point thirty. Patty knows her daughter Elizabeth will be back
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and on time for dinner because she's deathly afraid of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the dark, and the deep and dense woods that separate
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: their homes turn into a scary place once night falls.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Now, Elizabeth was not a type of girl who would
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: walk in the woods by herself.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: But when six o'clock rolls around, she didn't make it
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: home immediately. Patty calls up to her neighbor's home, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that's when she gets some startling news.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: They told me she wasn't there. I just knew it
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't right.
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: They left together and the grandmother was telling me she
• 3:53
  Speaker 10: was never.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: There, never there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: That's my call. The place.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The Cole County Sheriff's Department is on scene. In just
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, sheriff deputies and Patty head over to the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: last known place Elizabeth was going, her neighbor's house.
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: Everybody up there said she wasn't there, so that they
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: started doing a search.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: They called in like.
• 4:17
  Speaker 10: The fire departments and local officers, and by ten o'clock
• 4:22
  Speaker 10: there was probably hundreds of people looking for her.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Teams of concerned residents and local law enforcement agencies form
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a grid search around Patty's home and her neighbor's house.
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: They had several groups of people, they had a command
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: post set up up the road.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Well, Wednesday night is slipping away and still no sign
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of Elizabeth.
• 4:46
  Speaker 10: Because they were kept telling me there was no signs
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: of bout play.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: It's like she didn't just vanish. She's nine years old.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Patty knows Elizabeth has her cell phone with her and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: she's been calling it NonStop. Since her daughter disappeared in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: god voicemail. Then investigators contact the cell phone company and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: order what is called an emergency ping, basically signals generated
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: from the phone to the nearest cell tower. The data
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is collected and used to zero in on the precise
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: location of a cell phone, and in no time, sheriff
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: deputies start receiving pings from Elizabeth's cell phone one, two,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: then moments later, a third and final ping from the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: missing nine year old's phone before it appears to go dead,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and its location.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: The pings from the phone all were located in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: general area of the woods. It was a large wooded
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: area behind the house, but it's thick forest ground and
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of area to cover.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They're going to need back up.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It was the following day in which my unit, my
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: investigative unit, became involved and was contacted to assist in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the search. I believe she was still in the area.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He had to consider the other horrifying possibilities.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: She had been grabbed, perhaps by a kidnapper or a
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: child molester, So we were also pursuing the possibility that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: maybe somebody grabbed her and put her in a car.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: A missing person's report is sent out to neighboring law
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: enforcement agencies and the FBI.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: At that point during the investigation, the FBI was involved,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Cole County Sheriff's Department was involved, The Missouri State Patrol
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: was involved. They were somewhere in the neighborhood of about
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: three hundred volunteers from the community that came together.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And when you consider that there are only eleven hundred
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: people in Saint Martin's, Missouri, the number of people searching
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for Elizabeth is massive. It's a third of the town.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Well is it like to see hundreds of people searching
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: for your sister?
• 6:49
  Speaker 11: Crazy? Like unbelievable, like that many people would come to
• 6:54
  Speaker 11: look for somebody.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: We had checkpoints set up all around the area for
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: every one driving into and out of the area. We
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: tracked down all the local registered sex offenders. We had
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: planes in the air, helicopters, dog teams, dive teams for
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the ponds and rivers, everything that we could do. At
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that time, we were trying to locate her.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: But now it is Thursday afternoon, in almost twenty four
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: hours since anyone has seen nine year old Elizabeth Olton.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Sergeant Rice turns his attention back to the last person
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to see Elizabeth, the six year old little girl and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: neighbor who knocked on the door to see if she
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: could play. Her name is Emma and she lives just
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a few houses down from Elizabeth. What was Emma like?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: She was a little bit younger.
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: They played dolls, just normal little girl stuff and run around,
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: play outside.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And what could this child just out of kindergarten possibly
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: know about Elizabeth's disappearance.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Emma was interviewed by the FBI, and Emma simply stated
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: that she was playing with her friend Elizabeth, and about
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: an hour later, Elizabeth started walking home and that was
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the last she saw of her?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Or was it coming up?
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: She kept that pretty secret?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Does Elizabeth six year old neighbor no more than she's sane?
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Don't tell anyone?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Or is there someone else?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Entirely, we just met our suspect, Little Elizabeth Olton answered
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a knock at the door. Who knew that seemingly innocent
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: moment would change everything forever? For more on her story,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: let's head back to our Melissa McCarty.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Nine year old Elizabeth Olton is missing. She was last
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: seen on her way to play with her six year
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: old neighbor, Emma It's now late Thursday, and it's been
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: over twenty four hours since anyone is seen or heard
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: from the fourth grader. Her best friend, Taylor is worried.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: What was that last moment?
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Like that keeps replaying.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: I remember her getting out of the seat and walking
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: towards the front of the bus and she turned around,
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: smiled and said hip birthday, Taylor, and then got the
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: bus and walked into her house.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Investigators continue to talk to Elizabeth's neighbor, Emma, who tells
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: them that after playing for an hour, Elizabeth headed home,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But now the six year old is adding to her
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: version of events.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: She was outside playing with Elizabeth and then shortly after
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that became stuck in some thorn bushes and was crying
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and screaming for help. Was crying for her sister, saying Alyssa,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: come help me.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Alyssa as in fifteen year old Alyssa Bustamante, Emma's older
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: half sister. The rest of the siblings include Emma's eleven
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: year old twin half brothers, as seen in this home video.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: All four kids live with their grandmother and legal guardian,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Karen Brooke, but often the Bustamante and Oldon children could
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: be found playing at each other's homes. Was it common
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: for Elizabeth to go and play with Emma? Yes, the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: brothers hung out with your son, Is that right? And
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: during the time Elizabeth goes missing, all the neighbor kids
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: are accounted for, well most of them, only left one person,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Alyssa Boustamante.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: She admitted that she skipped school that day, was aware
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that law enforcement couldn't find this girl, but stated she
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: knew nothing about it whatsoever.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: During initial questioning, cops find Elyssa's behavior seemingly calm and forthcoming.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: She should not be considered a suspect.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, searchers continued to canvass the woods behind the Boust
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: de Monte home, the same area where Elizabeth's cell phone
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: transmitted its final pings.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: It was a big deal. Everyone was shocked. This is
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a small rural community in Missouri and those things just
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: don't happen in those areas. So people were scared.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But it's about to get even scared when local volunteers
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: stumble across something in the.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Backwoods appeared to them to look like a grave in
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the woods. And that's when my investigative unit became primarily
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: involved in that we were called and asked to process
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the scene for the possibility that Elizabeth was in that hole.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Was in that grave?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Sergeant Rice in his forensic team process the potential crime scene.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: We had been out there for several hours, and it
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: was during that time the FBI had been interviewing Alyssa
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: initially and they brought her to the scene. And I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: remember watching two FBI agents, I know, walk a young
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: girl over to the scene.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: That's when the sergeant overhears something odd.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I heard Alyssa say she dug the hole, and of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: course my response to that was why did you dig
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the hole? And Alissa said, I just like digging holes
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and would bury dead animals when she found them.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Who was in this possible makeshift grave that Alissa admitted
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: she dug up for fun.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: No one was in that shallow grave.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: No Elizabeth. And time is ticking on this missing person's case,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: now nearing the forty eight hour mark. Still, Sergeant Rice
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: is suspicious of this empty hole. He notes it is
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the perfect size for a small child, just like Elizabeth. Simultaneously,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: back at Alissa Bustamante's home.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: The FBI obtained that consent to search the Bustamante home
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: and one of their evidence officers was assigned to search
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Alisa Bustamanti's.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Room, and when the agent opens the teenage girl's bedroom door,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it's a spine chilling sight.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: She found several things in that room to be disturbing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: The walls are covered with bizarre writings, some of them
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: in penn and others. It appears in blood. In one
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: corner of the room, there is a poem about which
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is a form of self injury, usually involving a knife
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: or razor blade. In the poem, one line reads, I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: cut to see blood because I like it. Alyssa's best friend,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Jennifer knew about her high school friend's sadistic secret.
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: I actually consulted one of our friends and he talked
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: to her about it. We noticed a lot of scars
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: on her wrists. She talked about suicide a lot. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: know that she had attempted it a couple of times.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Then on another wall, there's a crude sketch of a
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: person that had an arm appear to have sliced and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: slash style markings. A closer look and there's a name
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: by the deranged depiction, Emma. That's right, Alyssa's kid's sister.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you say to that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: There are also cards and letters taped to Alyssa's bedroom
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: wall from a Caesar Bustamante the return address prison.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: Her father was in prison, he had gotten into some
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: kind of physical altercation, and her mother was on drugs
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: a lot. She was in and out of her life.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Then the FBI agent spots something else in Alissa's bedroom.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: A diary in the room, a journal.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And when the investigator starts to read Alyssa's diary, the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: words jump off the page for all the wrong reasons.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Disturbing things that referred to burning down a house and
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: killing the people in it. And then she noticed the
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: last entry of the journal had a date of Wednesday,
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: October twenty.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: First, the very same day Elizabeth disappeared. And what does
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: this say?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: It appeared to be marked over in blue ink, a
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: blue ink pens, obliterating over what was written, except for
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: the last part of it said now I've got to
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: go to church. Lol.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: She knew that we had read it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: The teenage girl is confronted with her.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Own words, slit and throat.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And evil is unearthed.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: You could see a body part that was covered up with.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Dirty we return to today's Crime Watch Daily murder mystery.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: A nine year old girl remains missing, but police believe
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: someone might know where she is. A teenage girl who
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: lives down the street, and to say what they found
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in her room is disturbing would be a huge understatement.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Here's Melissa McCarty, Missouri.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Fourth grader Elizabeth Olton is still missing, and when investigators
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: search her neighbor's home, they uncover disturbing writings in the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: diary of the oldest sister, fifteen year old Alyssa Bustamante.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: The agent collects the diary as potential evidence. The next morning,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: now Friday, in two days since Elizabeth went missing, Alyssa
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: is brought to the FBI headquarters for an interview with
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Serge David Rice.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: In combination with her strange behavior, I was confident that
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: we were going into an interrogation at some.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Point, but just before he goes in, the sergeant is
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: handed Alyssa's diary.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: The last entry of the diary, which was the day
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: that Elizabeth went missing, was completely scratched out.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: But this cop is determined to bring darkness into light.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Using backlighting, we could make out two words slit and throat.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Armed with potential incriminating evidence. It's go time. Alyssa, her grandmother,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Sergeant Rice, and a juvenile officer file into the interrogation room.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Sergeant Rice decides to take it slow and easy, but mostly.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Slow, by asking Alyssa certain questions and then just waiting
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: and waiting. Silence is very effective during an interview or
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: interrogation because people feel very uncomfortable in silence. There were
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: paus I believe they were up to forty five seconds
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to a minute long, and you could see the stress
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: affecting Alissa. You could see her eyes begin to tremor
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and her head begin to shake.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And then right when the sergeant thinks she might break.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: We have your diary, and we've read your diary, even
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the last entry in which was scribbled out, and I
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: just waited.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The effect is immediate.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Once I brought up the diary, I could see a
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: distinct shift in her demeanor. And I think it was
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: that point that she knew that we knew.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: And that's when Alissa finally starts to reveal what happened
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to Elizabeth. She tells Sergeant Rice it was an accident.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: She said they were walking in the woods when Elizabeth
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: fell hit her head and suddenly died.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I explained to Alyssa that we were going to recover
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the body and the autopsy would show every injury.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And he has a pretty good idea of what one
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: of the injuries.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Could be due to the comment or the word that
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: we read from her diary.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: That's when he asked Alyssa a direct and damning question.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Was her throat cut? And Alyssa said yes, And that's
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: when grandmother the grandmother broke down and began crying.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's a huge break in the case. Alissa's grandmother leaves
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the room and the fifteen year old comes clean.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: She said she sent Emma, her sister, over to the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: old household to pick Elizabeth up. From that point, she
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: claimed that she told Emma to go back home, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that she took Elizabeth by the hand and walked her
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: into the woods.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: It's a quarter mile in fifteen minute walk into the woods,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: leaving plenty of time for Alyssa to think about what
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: she is doing and stop, but she continues on holding
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the nine year old's hand, insane.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I've got something to really neat to show you. It's
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: just a little bit further up here.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Unbeknown to a little girl. Alissa is armed with a
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: kitchen knife and is leading her towards a pre dug grave.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Alissa said once she arrived at the at the side
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: of the hole, that she began to strangle Elizabeth while
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: she was facing her. That she strangled her multiple times
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and stabbed her in the chest I believed six or
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: seven times, and then cut her throat.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: After her confession, Alyssa agrees to take Sergeant Rice to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth's body. Rice takes me along into the same woods
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: where he retraces and recalls that fateful day.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: She knew exactly, you know, where it was, led us
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: directly to it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Was it well covered?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It was not well covered. Once she pointed out the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: area and you looked a little bit closer, you could
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: see that she was only a few, you know, a
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: few inches if that, under the ground, and you could
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: see body parts that came up, you know, covered with mud.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty horrifying homicide.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Then the results of Elizabeth's autopsy come in and they
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: appear to mirror Alyssa's diabolical diary. Investigators use a blue
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: light to finally reveal her last entry on the day
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth disappeared. It reads in part I just expective killed someone.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. It's pretty enjoyable. I gotta go to
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: church now lol.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: This was very premeditated by the fifteen year old murderer,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: because she had dug the graveholes at least five days
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: in advance of the murder, and it was premeditated in
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: the sense that she sent her sister down to get
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Elizabeth out of the house for the purpose of murdering her.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: A premeditated and planned murder meets the legal requirements for
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a first degree murder case, But what about her age?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Alissa is just fifteen.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: She was certified to stand trial as an adult, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: a Call County grand jury heard evidence in the case
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: and return an indictment of two counts murdering a first
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: degree and armed criminal.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Action, and sadly, the signs of a troubled teen seemed
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to be there all along. Alyssa appeared to like hurting
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: herself and others. On her YouTube page, Alyssa Lisa under
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: interest in hobbies, killing people and cutting, and in one
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: video captured on a school bus, she threatens to shoot
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: a classmate and a week before she killed Elizabeth, Alyssa
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: takes to her journal and writes, if I don't talk
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: about it, I bottle it up, and when I explode,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: someone's gonna die. But perhaps the biggest warning sign appears
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that Alissa's own fifteenth birthday parties she's hanging out with
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: her best friend Jennifer, when she says, I.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: Just wonder what it would be like just to kill someone.
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: See the life just drain out of someone. I wonder
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: what it would feel like that type of power to
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: take that away from someone.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: That is one of the most reprehensible motives for murder
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: that exist in humankind, and that is to murder a
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: person for the thrill of murdering.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Thom Two years in, four months after the fateful events
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: that rocked the rule town of Saint Martin's, Missouri, a
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: trial date is finally set. Then the prosecution gets an
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: unexpected setback to their case, and it's a big one.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: The defense filed emotion to suppress the confession.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Alyssa's defense team claims because she was a juvenile, some
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: of the questions asked during her interrogation weren't allowed under
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Missouri law. The judge agrees and Alyssa's confession is thrown out.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Having the confession suppressed was a huge blow. This was
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: a clear first degree murder case.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: And there's another big blow to the prosecution's case on
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the horizon. The US Supreme Court is about to rule
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: that life sentences without the possibility of parole for juveniles
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: is unconstitutional. So prosecutors offer up a plea deal to
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the defense, an amendment to murder in the second degree
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: with a range of ten to thirty years or life
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: imprisonment with the chance of parole.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: I notified the mother and the family that that's what
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: I had determined to do.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I was mad. It's very bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Alyssa's defense team accepts the plea deal. During the sentencing phase,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: she addresses her victim's family and states, I cannot even
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: understand what you guys are going through. I'm sorry for that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: If I could give my life to bring her back,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I would, and I'm sorry.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: I don't think she can be sorry. I don't believe
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: anything that she says.
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: She was being fed what to say to us from
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: her attorney, so none of it was real.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Boost Demonte was sentenced on the murder charge to life
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in prison with the chance of parole plus thirty years
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: for armed criminal action. Under Missouri law, she will serve
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: thirty five years and five months before she will be
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: eligible for parole. Even her one time best friend wonders,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: now if that's enough.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: I don't think there is anywhere that she should be
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: besides prison ever, because you just can't get away with
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: something like that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Is there anything you would say to her if she
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: was watching this.
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: That I hate her, that she's run everyone in my
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: family's life.
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: She changed everybody's life so drastically. It's not fair. She
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: should be said em grace, that she should die too.
• 24:48
  Speaker 12: I don't care old she was, age, didn't have anything
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: to do with it. There's no rebuilitation for her.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Following Alyssa's conviction, Elizabeth's mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: against Bustamante's grandparents and siblings. She was awarded four hundred
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a settlement. She's also sued Alyssa herself
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to ensure that the killer teen cannot profit from her crime.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: No books, no movies, nothing.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Coming up.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Tell me what happened to my daughter.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's one of the most publicized cases ever in the state.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Of main what happened to little Aila? Please find tracks
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of the toddler's blood but nobody. Trime Watch Daily goes
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: inside the mystery.
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: We don't think she was abducted, we don't think she
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: wandered off, and we think foul plays involved.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: That's next book. Now to a crime Watch Daily update
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: on one of the most publicized cases ever in the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: state of Maine. A darling little twenty month old is
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: reported missing by her father. Michelle Sagona picks up the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: story from there, tell me what happened to my daughter?
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: Trister Reynolds has been relentlessly chasing the truth to find
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: out what happened to her little girl, Aila.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: You wouldn't.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: That's AILA's dad on the run, still dodging questions. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: now crime Watch Jeli has learned Trista has a desperate
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: new plan in place. Ironically, the only way she may
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: be able to find out if her daughter is alive
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: is to declare her dead.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: What do you miss the most?
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: I miss her smile, and I miss her blue eyes,
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: and I just miss her just everything.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Twenty month old Aila mysteriously disappeared from her own father's
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: house in Waterville, Maine, just days before Christmas, Justin Dpahrow,
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: his sister Alicia, and his then girlfriend Courtney Roberts were
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: all in the house on the night twenty month old
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Aila disappeared.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: A part of me always wonders if she was yelling
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: out for me and wondering why it wasn't there to
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: save and protect her like it was the too so no.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: It haunts me every day.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: Little Aila was a surprise pregnancy for Trista and then
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: boyfriend Justin DPA Trow.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: He said, well, let's put her up for adoption. I said,
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: you're absolutely crazy.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I will not do that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Trista was a loving mom, but shortly after ALA's first birthday,
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: an old demon surfaced.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: You made the decision to go to rehab and Dan.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: I needed to get myself better for her. That's why
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: I did it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: The plan was for little Aila to stay with Trista's sister,
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: but shortly after Trista checked into rehab, she claims Justin
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: and his mom, Phoebe DPA Trow convinced a Department of
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Health and Human Services worker they were supposed to have
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: legal custody of Aila.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: That night, when the officers brought her down, I told
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that officer straight out.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I said, she's going to flip out.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: She's going to flip out because she does not want
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: to go with him.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: No.
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: Trista and her father, Ronald Reynolds, were both worried about
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: Aila living with Justin. They both claim she came home
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: with mysterious injuries, which is consistent with what DHS found
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: in its investigation.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: She had bruises like going up her leg and you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: I said, what's this Justin? And he was like, oh,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: she was playing at CHUCKI Cheese and a ball pit
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: and some little kid was kicking her. Problem was there
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: was no ballpit at Chuck E Cheese.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: Trista immediately checks herself out of rehab and begins to
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: fight to get Ala back.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: I said, Justin warn't to bringing her to me. Why
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: won't you let me see her? And he just said,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: you're never going to see her again. And that's when
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: I started thinking, like, what are you doing.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Trista says Justin kept Ala from her for weeks, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: then she learns her daughter has a broken arm. Justin
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: claims it was raining and dark and he was carrying her.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: He tripped on some steps and accidentally landed on top
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: of little Aila, but Ronald says it was an all
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: too familiar story.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: You're saying he broke her arm.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am, I am, I am.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it was an accident.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: Trista says she calls to check in on Ala, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Justin tells her their nineteen month old daughter is too
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: busy to come to the phone.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: He said, well, she's watching home alone right now. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: I said really, and you're not gonna let me talk
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: to her? And he never did and then that was it.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: Trista would never speak to or see her daughter Aila
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: ever again. How did you find out your daughter was missing?
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: And I got on the phone and it was my
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: dad and he was in tears, and they said, Dad,
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: what's going on? What's wrong? The police are here and
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: ALA's missing. Nobody knows where she is.
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: According to the Mainstay police, Justin put Ala in her
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: bed around eight o'clock the night before, and when he
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: went to check on her the next morning, her bed
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: was empty.
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: Obviously, when a toddler wanders off, we obviously start searching,
• 29:51
  Speaker 13: starting from the place where she was last seen, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: in this place, it was their home, and that search
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: got wider and wider.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: While police and divers search every inch of Waterville. Investigators
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: began questioning Justin, his sister Alicia, and his girlfriend Courtney,
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: who were all in the house that night. All three
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: claim Aila was abducted.
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: We don't think she was abducted. We don't think she
• 30:17
  Speaker 13: wandered off, and we think foul plays involved.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: Within days, what began as a desperate search for a
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: lost little girl turns into a hunt for a possible killer.
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: We think it is highly unlikely that Aila Reynolds will
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: be found alive.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Police find AILA's blood throughout the house.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: My whole insides, like I felt like my whole heart
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: and just everything in here just feeling like it was crackling,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: and it just broke, and I just dropped to the
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: ground and told my mom. I said, it's real, Mom,
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: Like she's dead.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Trista says police showed her crime scene photos from inside
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: the house the morning Ala went missing, and a map
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: similar to this one, pinpointing every spot where they found
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: ALA's blood that was.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Found on her slippers, a baby doll, and her car seat.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: Then, Trista says cops gave her the theory of what
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: happened to Aila.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: They actually think that it ended with them rolling her
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: up in a blanket and sticking her in a toe.
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: Do you try not to think about what Aleen may
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: have gone through?
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I actually do.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: My biggest thing is I wonder if she did, if
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: she called out, or she was just really mad at
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: me because I wasn't there. I think she's really mad
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: at me, and that's what hurts the most.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Police refused to name anyone a suspect, but they wholeheartedly
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: believe there's a dirty secret being covered up.
• 31:53
  Speaker 13: We have said from the very beginning that the three
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: adel's inside that home no more than they've told us.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: Yes, for months, Justin, his girlfriend and sister refused to talk.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Then Trista is tipped off Justin as a court date
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: for an alleged domestic battery incident. She shows up to
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: confront him once and for all. Jeffrey Eye flat up
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: next the explosive confrontation.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Now Back to our Crime Watch daily update on Aila Reynolds,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the toddler who has been missing for more than five years.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Here's Michelle Segon Chris.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: AILA's mother tells me she believes the child's father knows
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: much more than what he is telling police and In
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: a nasty confrontation caught on tape, she faced off.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: With him right out in front of the court.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: Jeffrey eye Flatten.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: See a heartbroken mother's frustration erupts outside of a main courthouse.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: No you care, Trista Reynolds desperately wants answers from one
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: of the last people to see her baby daughter, Ayla alive,
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Justin Dpietrow, Ayla's dad. Look at me, but he's not talking.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Do you remember this Justine?
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: Justin's mother, Phoebe Dpa Trow even turning the tables.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I am Na's grandmother, and I believe she's alone.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: I am her mother, slinging accusations that it was Trista
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: who took this beautiful little girl.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, do you want to.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: See it alive and tell us what you.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Did with her?
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: After five agonizing years without her daughter, Trista is left
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: wondering what really happened inside this house in Waterville, Maine.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: I'm just wanting my answers all I've ever wanted. It's
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: like I can see it in his eyes that he
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: wants to tell me, but he's too scared.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: Justin, his sister Alicia, and his then girlfriend Courtney Roberts
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: were all in the house that night twenty month old
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Aila disappeared. They all claimed they had nothing to do
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: with the toddler's disappearance and insist she was kidnapped from
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: her bed by a stranger. But mainstay police are adamant
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: this was no abduction.
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: We thought foul play was involved, likely from the very start.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: They say.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: There's plenty of evidence and it all leads them to
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: one sad conclusion. Little Aila is dead. Trista tells me
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: detective showed her pictures of ALA's blood found throughout the house,
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: in her bed, on her favorite doll, in her car seat,
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: all over the basement where Dustin was sleeping, and even
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: on his shoes.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I think seeing the pictures are the things I'll never
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: I'll never forget. It's kind of like when you close
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: your eyes, it's always a flashback.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: Police still won't name a suspect, but AILA's grandfather, Ronald Reynolds,
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: says he's confident Aila was murdered, and in several published reports,
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: he claims the motive was money.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Three days before she went missing, he took out an
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: insurance policy out on her.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: How much was the insurance policy for ten thousand dollars.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: Trista says on the days leading up to her daughter's disappearance,
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: there were troubling signs. Little AILA's arm was broken in
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: what Justin called an accident, and a number of news
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: outlets have reported Justin began sending disturbing text messages to Trista.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: He's had messages like you're never going to see her again,
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: and sometimes I like those are messages of like giving
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: me warning.
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: Do you think that it was an accident or what
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: do you think happened?
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: I just think things got really out of hand and
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: he didn't he didn't know how to handle it the
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: way that he should.
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: But Justin maintains his innocence. In fact, he told a
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: local newspaper he took a polygraph test and quote, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: smoked it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: The only proper ant you could say is I told
• 35:56
  Speaker 15: the truth. I passed my polygraph. Instead, he said, I
• 36:00
  Speaker 15: smoked it as if it was a junior high math
• 36:03
  Speaker 15: test that somehow he got past. This was a child
• 36:07
  Speaker 15: that went missing.
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: Peter Hyatt is a statement analyst, a sort of human
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: lie detector who helps police with cold cases.
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: How did you get involved in ALUs case?
• 36:18
  Speaker 15: Ailu's case touched me emotionally through the news, But it
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: was the initial statement that the father of the missing
• 36:27
  Speaker 15: child had made that caught my attention.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: What exactly did he say?
• 36:30
  Speaker 15: He referenced her in the past tense, referencing someone of
• 36:33
  Speaker 15: the past tense as an indication of knowledge or belief
• 36:35
  Speaker 15: that the child is dead.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: We asked Peter to analyze some of Justin's statements. Spoke
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: briefly with The Today Show in twenty twelve and said, quote,
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: I would never do anything to harm my daughter.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Is this statement deceptive and if so, why? Okay?
• 36:49
  Speaker 15: The statement has no commitment. He did not say I
• 36:52
  Speaker 15: did not harm my child. He said I would not,
• 36:55
  Speaker 15: and there's a difference there.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: Peter says, the most telling statement may be in that
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: heated confrontation in front of the courthouse between Trista and
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: Justin's mom, Phoebe.
• 37:04
  Speaker 15: What she does is she challenged Trista, what did you
• 37:07
  Speaker 15: do with Aila?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And tell us what you did with her?
• 37:10
  Speaker 15: But turns away knowing there's no answer to that. What
• 37:12
  Speaker 15: we saw with DVD Pietro was a bullying of Trista Reynolds.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: Up next, Justin's sister Alicia speaks out for the first
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: time about what she says really happened inside that.
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: House, especially on the record, I will say.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: Little Aila is gone missing. She disappeared from this house
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: where her father, Justin was reportedly sleeping in the basement.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Cop suspect foul play.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: Justin has never been named a suspect, but ALA's mother, Trista,
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: and police are convinced he knows more than he's sane.
• 37:48
  Speaker 14: I sit here and I think about those early days
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: when I covered Ayla's case. It's been years and I'm
• 37:56
  Speaker 14: covering this story again and it's unsolved.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: It's unsolved.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: I thought by now it would be.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: Trista is so desperate for answers. She's even tried tracking
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: Justin down on the street.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: What are you doing there?
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: Trista hasn't been able to get anything out of Justin.
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: So I went back to the house where little Ala disappeared. Justin,
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: his mom, Phoebe, and his sister Alicia still live here.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, how are you doing? Sorry to bother you.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: I'm Michelle from Crime Watch Daily, Right, what is your
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: first name?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Alicia?
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Justin wasn't home, but that's his sister Alicia, who was
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: also in the house that terrible night. She didn't want
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: to sit down for an interview, but agreed to answer
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: a few of my questions.
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: On the record.
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: I will say that we do believe she is out
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: there somewhere.
• 38:49
  Speaker 14: Did investigators show you evidence from what they had, from
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: what was found inside the house?
• 38:54
  Speaker 11: We have seen pictures of what they found in the house.
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: Yes, what would explain the blood?
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: She'd been vomiting quite a lot, she had left issues.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, so she had been sick.
• 39:03
  Speaker 14: Nothing happened in the house that night, nothing, No foul play,
• 39:06
  Speaker 14: No foul.
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: Play in the house. That is my brother.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: He's a good father.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: He loved his daughter well, still loves her.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: While Trista continues to hope little Ala is alive, Crime
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: Watch DAILI has learned that desperate mom may now be.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Forced to declare Aila legally dead.
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: According to the family, a death certificate will allow Trista
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: to file a civil lawsuit against Justin for the wrongful
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: death of Aila. Justin has never been charged with anything
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: relating to ALA's appearance, but police maintained he knows more
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: than he's saying. The family says a wrongful death suit
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: will force Justin to testify under oath as to what
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: really happened inside this house on the night the beautiful
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: twenty month old went missing, hopefully giving this tortured mom
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: and AILA's little brothers the answers they've been chasing all
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: these years.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: I have my five year old tell me that he
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: plays with her in his dreams, and you know, she's
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: got these beautiful wings, and they're always playing in a
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: garden with other little people with wings. Tells me right
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: there that she's in heaven, that she's looking down and
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: she's watching us.
