- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. She is so smart, she
- 0:17Speaker 1: is brilliant. She is just twenty five years old with
- 0:22Speaker 1: the world in front of her. Just think for a
- 0:25Speaker 1: moment what you were doing at age twenty five. All
- 0:29Speaker 1: that them and vigor and energy, and the world is
- 0:33Speaker 1: still new and bright and shiny. When I was twenty four,
- 0:37Speaker 1: I was already a lawyer and trying to get on
- 0:42Speaker 1: at the District's Attorney's office. I'm talking, of course, about
- 0:46Speaker 1: beautiful Sydney Sutherland, just twenty five years old. But that
- 0:53Speaker 1: was not to be, And I want to know why.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Sydney Sutherland, by twenty five
- 1:17Speaker 1: year old registered nurse, works at a medical center in Newport, Arkansas.
- 1:21Speaker 1: On the afternoon of August nineteenth, she goes for a jog,
- 1:24Speaker 1: something she does on a regular basis. Sidney even has
- 1:27Speaker 1: a regular route that she follows near her home. A
- 1:30Speaker 1: UPS driver reports seeing Sidney during her jog between two
- 1:33Speaker 1: thirty and three pm that afternoon, but that was the
- 1:36Speaker 1: last time anyone reports seeing her. Later that evening, a
- 1:39Speaker 1: call comes into authorities. Sydney Sutherland's car, keys and other
- 1:42Speaker 1: belongings are at her house, but Sydney is gone. Just
- 1:46Speaker 1: hearing our friend Dave Mack at Crime online dot com
- 1:50Speaker 1: saying that just gives me such an overwhelming sense of
- 1:54Speaker 1: foreboding because her car, her keys, and other belongings are
- 1:59Speaker 1: at her home, but no Sydney again. Thank you for

- 3:00Speaker 1: Lindsay's brother Sam Sutherland and her mother, Maggie. Miss Sutherland
- 3:08Speaker 1: and Sam, thank you so much for being with us. Maggie,
- 3:11Speaker 1: when did you first learn that you're a beautiful girl?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Sydney was nowhere to be found. It was on that Wednesday,
- 3:19Speaker 1: August the nineteenth, at five o'clock. Her boyfriend called and said,
- 3:25Speaker 1: have you heard from Sydney? And I said, no, what's
- 3:29Speaker 1: going on? He said, well, I'm here at the house
- 3:32Speaker 1: because he just got off work. Of the keys are here,
- 3:35Speaker 1: the doctor are here. You know. The last I heard
- 3:38Speaker 1: from her roots around two forty she was going for
- 3:41Speaker 1: a run, and you know, he was working. He's a farmer,
- 3:45Speaker 1: so he was working. And I haven't seen her, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: I've tried to call her and I can't get her
- 3:50Speaker 1: to answer any messages. Miss Southern. Let me ask you
- 3:54Speaker 1: a couple of quick questions. The boyfriend, how long have
- 3:57Speaker 1: they been together? They together around three years. And when
- 4:03Speaker 1: you say he's a farmer, I grew up in rural
- 4:06Speaker 1: Middle Georgia and all of our neighbors were farmers. Did
- 4:10Speaker 1: he farm his own land? May I ask? Yes? Yes?
- 4:15Speaker 1: So he was in control of his schedule. Correct. Yes,
- 4:20Speaker 1: they had working hours that day, so he could control
- 4:24Speaker 1: when and if he got off his tractor or went
- 4:28Speaker 1: back to the home. He worked for himself. It was
- 4:30Speaker 1: his farm. He's farming his own land. Correct, that he
- 4:34Speaker 1: farmed for his uncle. Right, it was a family it's
- 4:38Speaker 1: a family farm from farm with his uncle. But it
- 4:40Speaker 1: was near their house the day, the day he was working.
- 4:44Speaker 1: He would just you know, had worked that morning by
- 4:47Speaker 1: the house. And the reason I asked Miss Sutherland is
- 4:50Speaker 1: whether we like it or not. Statistically, when somebody goes missing,
- 4:53Speaker 1: cops look first at the husband, the ex husband, the boyfriend,
- 4:58Speaker 1: the lover, the sweetheart, the guy that wants to date
- 5:01Speaker 1: the person but ken't. That's where you look first. So
- 5:03Speaker 1: the very first thing you do when someone disappears or
- 5:06Speaker 1: goes missing is to see who they spoke to you last,
- 5:09Speaker 1: who reported them missing, and does that person have an alibi?
- 5:13Speaker 1: That is, as we say, air tight nights, not to
- 5:16Speaker 1: sound cliche. He's out farming, but he's not punching a clock,
- 5:21Speaker 1: and he could leave the tractor or the area when
- 5:25Speaker 1: he wanted and return when he wanted, so that Southern
- 5:27Speaker 1: cops immediately take into account when he called you, which
- 5:32Speaker 1: I find very interesting because he's the one that raised
- 5:36Speaker 1: the alarm that she's not there. What did you think
- 5:40Speaker 1: when he first called you and said, syd he's at home.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I said, well, what's going on? And he goes, I
- 5:47Speaker 1: don't know, and then he just went over it all
- 5:49Speaker 1: that her stuff was there at the house. And last
- 5:51Speaker 1: he taught to her was you know, around two forty
- 5:53Speaker 1: of the last snatchet that they had, she never opened
- 5:57Speaker 1: it and never answered it. In prior to that, she
- 6:00Speaker 1: had been answering them and talking. But the phone lines
- 6:06Speaker 1: at that time during that day from it looks like
- 6:10Speaker 1: from two forty to three or four, I'm not exactly
- 6:14Speaker 1: sure what time, just in that area the lines went down,
- 6:19Speaker 1: so she was not able to communicate if she was
- 6:22Speaker 1: able to communicate. So if she cannot communicate, how did
- 6:27Speaker 1: he know that she was going for a run, because
- 6:31Speaker 1: she had he had already taught to her earlier. He
- 6:34Speaker 1: talked to her about two two o'clock, between two and
- 6:37Speaker 1: two thirty, and she texts him as she goes, m
- 6:41Speaker 1: fixing to go for a run and then I'll be
- 6:45Speaker 1: back home. She was always a real fitness buff. I'm
- 6:49Speaker 1: looking at a picture of the two of you together,
- 6:52Speaker 1: And to tell you the truth, you know, I had
- 6:54Speaker 1: to look hard at the picture to figure out who
- 6:56Speaker 1: is Sydney and who is her mother. You two look
- 6:59Speaker 1: like you look like sisters, almost like twins as a
- 7:03Speaker 1: matter of fact, both with the same big smile, the
- 7:06Speaker 1: same hair, the same hair style, the same eyes. She
- 7:10Speaker 1: is a mini me of yours. I call my little
- 7:14Speaker 1: girl my mini me sometimes right to her face, because
- 7:17Speaker 1: we like the same thing as we do the same things.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Is Sydney a lot like you? Yes, ma'am. Sydney and I,
- 7:25Speaker 1: I mean, we've been told that many times that we
- 7:28Speaker 1: look like sisters. But Sydney and I were very very close.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Even in the investigation. When they did start doing the investigation,
- 7:37Speaker 1: the questions were, you know, who would know the best
- 7:42Speaker 1: about Sydney and would know the most about it, and
- 7:46Speaker 1: her best friend goes, you need to talk to her
- 7:48Speaker 1: mom because her mom is her best friend. She's by
- 7:50Speaker 1: her side all the time, and if anything needs to
- 7:54Speaker 1: be known, her mom knows about Sydney because they are
- 7:57Speaker 1: just being close all of her life. And the one
- 8:00Speaker 1: that Sidney always want to rely on what her mom.
- 8:04Speaker 1: When you first realized she wasn't where she was supposed
- 8:07Speaker 1: to be. Where did you think she would be at?
- 8:10Speaker 1: What time did he call you? Did you say around
- 8:12Speaker 1: five five o'clock? Yes, ma'am. Where should she have been
- 8:16Speaker 1: at five o'clock on a Wednesday? Well, at that time
- 8:21Speaker 1: I did not know. He had to tell me, Like,
- 8:23Speaker 1: the last I talked to her was around two, and
- 8:25Speaker 1: she's going for a run because I had not spoke
- 8:28Speaker 1: to her since about twelve o'clock that day. Prior to that,
- 8:33Speaker 1: we had just got home from a week vacation in Florida,
- 8:38Speaker 1: so we just got home the night before. They got
- 8:40Speaker 1: home at nine and Stamini and his family got home
- 8:44Speaker 1: about ten, So I didn't see her till the next morning,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and she came by my house around twelve o'clock. We
- 8:54Speaker 1: don't have like a really big local gym or anything,
- 8:58Speaker 1: So she drove to Jones's Old which is about thirty
- 9:01Speaker 1: miles away, and she did her workout with a trainer
- 9:04Speaker 1: that she goes to because she hadn't been there in
- 9:07Speaker 1: a week and she was just she loved to work
- 9:10Speaker 1: out running. Is that a male trainer or a female trainer?
- 9:14Speaker 1: Um their husband and wife there on the train, their
- 9:19Speaker 1: Gym Crime Stories with Nancy Grace to Sam Sutherland joining
- 9:39Speaker 1: us in addition to Mom Maggie. Sam, So you you
- 9:43Speaker 1: all went together on vacation, Yes, ma'am, Yes, where did
- 9:48Speaker 1: you go? We went to this in Florida for a week. Well,
- 9:51Speaker 1: you know what you can't beat that you can't beat
- 9:53Speaker 1: in the Okay. So we had a wonderful time and
- 9:57Speaker 1: I sent many many a happy time on golf coat.
- 10:00Speaker 1: It's not far from where my dad's farm in Alabama. Um, Sam,
- 10:04Speaker 1: when did you first realize you? Are you and your
- 10:06Speaker 1: sister close? I'm very close with my sister and brother,
- 10:09Speaker 1: are you? Yes? Yes, we talked, we quite well actually
- 10:12Speaker 1: that morning the morning. Note we also farm, my family,
- 10:16Speaker 1: my dad, me, me and my dad and my brother.
- 10:18Speaker 1: We all farmed together. Yeah. And actually the road she's
- 10:22Speaker 1: running on is a much up to our farm, and
- 10:25Speaker 1: we all these farmed but up together. Yes, I know
- 10:29Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. Sometimes you don't know one
- 10:32Speaker 1: one piece of land ends and the next one begins.
- 10:34Speaker 1: But I guarantee of the farmers at farming know for sure.
- 10:37Speaker 1: If you seem when did you when were you told
- 10:40Speaker 1: Sydney's not where she's supposed to be. Was that a
- 10:42Speaker 1: day she was supposed to be at work? Uh? No, ma'am,
- 10:46Speaker 1: my mom, I just picked up my daughter. I have
- 10:49Speaker 1: two daughters, and that's what That's one thing about Sydney.
- 10:52Speaker 1: She wasn't a mom, she was a she was an aunt.
- 10:55Speaker 1: So you learned that day as well. Do you guys
- 10:59Speaker 1: know if she was apposed to report to work that day? No, ma'am,
- 11:02Speaker 1: she was don't not supposed to report to work. So
- 11:06Speaker 1: that makes it even more difficult. Let me go to you,
- 11:10Speaker 1: Mitch McCoy ka Ark four, Fox sixteen News. The first
- 11:14Speaker 1: thing you want to do when somebody goes missing is
- 11:16Speaker 1: nail down a timeline, and it always helps me to
- 11:19Speaker 1: know what their routine is or should be on that days.
- 11:23Speaker 1: In my mind, out of all the cases I've ever
- 11:25Speaker 1: prosecuted or investigated or covered, when somebody has to report
- 11:29Speaker 1: to work, that is a keystone of the investigation because
- 11:34Speaker 1: if they don't report to work, you know they're missing
- 11:37Speaker 1: at Let's just say, as a prosecutor, eight am, if
- 11:40Speaker 1: I didn't report to work, there's something wrong. But on
- 11:43Speaker 1: a day when you don't have to report to work,
- 11:47Speaker 1: then your schedule is fluid and it's a lot harder
- 11:51Speaker 1: to nail down a timeline. Mitch McCoy, when did you
- 11:54Speaker 1: a ka Ark four Fox sixteen, learn that Sydney Sutherland
- 11:59Speaker 1: was miss well, it was that day, and I think
- 12:03Speaker 1: that that speaks to just how small of a town
- 12:06Speaker 1: that Jackson County is. They knew that when Sydney didn't
- 12:11Speaker 1: come home that something was wrong. They had volunteers out
- 12:15Speaker 1: later that night after five o'clock, continued through the early
- 12:19Speaker 1: morning hours that following day. It searched picked back up,
- 12:23Speaker 1: and at this point it's it's every agency you can
- 12:27Speaker 1: think of in the state, from the Department of Correction
- 12:30Speaker 1: their dogs to horses and helicopters from the state police.
- 12:35Speaker 1: They knew that something was wrong. Here with me, miss McCoy,
- 12:38Speaker 1: Kark four Fox sixteen, Mitch, I want to circle back
- 12:42Speaker 1: to something you just said. You said in a town
- 12:44Speaker 1: that small, I came from an area that was not
- 12:49Speaker 1: even a town. It was unincorporated bib County. We have
- 12:55Speaker 1: a making address making Georgia in the very geographical center
- 13:00Speaker 1: the state, but we didn't live anywhere near the city.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I was naked. So tell me about this area where
- 13:06Speaker 1: Sydney goes missing. It's very important to the investigation. I'll
- 13:09Speaker 1: tell you why, but you tell me about the area first. Yeah,
- 13:12Speaker 1: very The area is incredibly small. The local high school graduates,
- 13:16Speaker 1: if memory serves correctly, maybe fifty or so in a class.
- 13:22Speaker 1: The sheriff knows Sydney personally, so this is a small
- 13:27Speaker 1: town that everyone knows everyone. So when the alarm bell
- 13:33Speaker 1: started ringing, they knew that something was very off here.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, Maggie, miss Southerland, what was going through
- 13:41Speaker 1: your mind as the hours tick by and you don't
- 13:45Speaker 1: hear from Sydney, what were you thinking? I was very devastated, but,
- 13:52Speaker 1: like I said, as soon as I got there out
- 13:54Speaker 1: so there, you know, I looked in the house just
- 13:57Speaker 1: to see what I could find that maybe was not
- 14:00Speaker 1: or anything. Everything was all okay. She had changed her
- 14:06Speaker 1: shoes because everyone's talking about her pink Tenny shoes, but
- 14:09Speaker 1: they're laying there. She did not use them to run
- 14:11Speaker 1: out on the dirt road. I was like, so she
- 14:13Speaker 1: changed to her running shoes for running out on the farm.
- 14:16Speaker 1: She'd even changed her clothes. They were laying right there
- 14:18Speaker 1: and where she changed. So everything looked normal and Alex
- 14:23Speaker 1: and I talked well immediately I just start calling sam
- 14:27Speaker 1: My son, Tyler, her older brother, and her dad. I
- 14:31Speaker 1: was like, I need y'all here now, something's wrong. I
- 14:34Speaker 1: just know something wrong. Some Sydney is not here. I
- 14:37Speaker 1: need y'all to get here. And Sam said he just
- 14:40Speaker 1: picked up the girls to come straight there and her Tyler,
- 14:44Speaker 1: her other brother, and Dingham was there immediately. They immediately
- 14:49Speaker 1: start driving down that road where she ran, just like
- 14:53Speaker 1: you know, everybody checking it out. I stayed at the house.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I started calling the sheriffs office. I was calling at
- 15:00Speaker 1: and t like I'm trying to get down to ping
- 15:03Speaker 1: in on her phone. You know I would already. I mean,
- 15:07Speaker 1: in my heart, I knew something were drunk because that
- 15:09Speaker 1: Sydney just does not do disappear like that. I want
- 15:13Speaker 1: to follow up on what you're saying. Two things to
- 15:17Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick about the shoes, and to Karen start the
- 15:21Speaker 1: feeling the mom. Maggie Sutherland got Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor,
- 15:25Speaker 1: author of Red Flags, host of Live with Doctor Wendy
- 15:28Speaker 1: k CBQ. Wendy, the mom is just telling us that
- 15:34Speaker 1: people got it wrong about her daughter's shoes, and a
- 15:38Speaker 1: lot of people that are not experts would think that's
- 15:40Speaker 1: neither here nor there. Who kills what kind of shoes
- 15:42Speaker 1: she's got on, It's very significant. It's very significant as
- 15:46Speaker 1: a matter of fact, because it tells me where she
- 15:50Speaker 1: most likely was. Her mother knows that she wore a
- 15:55Speaker 1: certain pair of shoes to go run on the dirt road.
- 15:59Speaker 1: She would not wear her pink Tina shoes no more
- 16:02Speaker 1: than I would wear a pair of high heels I
- 16:05Speaker 1: have to use to make appearances out to go jogging
- 16:09Speaker 1: or to play badminton or basketball with the twins. That
- 16:12Speaker 1: wouldn't happen. So that kind of clue is very significant.
- 16:17Speaker 1: And when moms like Maggie Southern or another person close
- 16:20Speaker 1: to a victim says something like that, cops need to
- 16:24Speaker 1: listen because it's very very critical. That's right. And that's
- 16:29Speaker 1: one of the reasons, Nancy, that investigative skills are so
- 16:32Speaker 1: key when you have cases like this, when somebody goes missing,
- 16:36Speaker 1: and I know that is just every parent's nightmare to
- 16:40Speaker 1: hear that all of their child's belongings are where they're
- 16:43Speaker 1: supposed to be and their child is not. But if
- 16:45Speaker 1: a certain pair of shoes is also missing, then you're
- 16:48Speaker 1: absolutely right on a free day where there's no obligation
- 16:52Speaker 1: to be at work or at school of picking up children.
- 16:55Speaker 1: It is those little details that are so valuable in
- 16:58Speaker 1: piecing together or they might have gone, where they might
- 17:01Speaker 1: be and where police can start first, if you, Karen,
- 17:05Speaker 1: start NewYork psychologists joining us, Karen, did you hear what
- 17:09Speaker 1: Maggie said? She's standing there, she sees the home, she
- 17:14Speaker 1: sees everything in place, and she knows right then something
- 17:20Speaker 1: is very wrong. She starts calling everybody she knows, the dad,
- 17:23Speaker 1: the brothers, this that everybody get out there and start
- 17:26Speaker 1: looking for Sydney. That instinct is much more than a hunch.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It's something that is borne by literally thousands of years
- 17:35Speaker 1: of evolution. And I don't like it when investigators pooh
- 17:39Speaker 1: pooh it, Well they're wrong. Answer to poop poo it.
- 17:42Speaker 1: You know more than anyone what it's like to, especially
- 17:47Speaker 1: a mother's instinct. Mother's know. I remember once I was
- 17:52Speaker 1: in a car accident and my mom called her and said,
- 17:55Speaker 1: what's wrong? And it was just amazing to me that
- 17:59Speaker 1: she stuff and she wasn't there the sense that something
- 18:03Speaker 1: had happened. And it is much more than just something
- 18:07Speaker 1: that's a hunch. There's a lot of scientific evidence to
- 18:12Speaker 1: show that this is true. When you heaven instinctive feeling
- 18:17Speaker 1: that something is wrong, pay attention. And this mother knew
- 18:21Speaker 1: her daughter. You know what, Karen Stark, it brings to
- 18:24Speaker 1: mind Phil Vatranto, the father of the Long Island jog
- 18:27Speaker 1: or Koeen of Vatronto. He typically jogged with her, but
- 18:31Speaker 1: that day she hadn't been gone. He didn't go. Fifteen
- 18:35Speaker 1: minutes after she was gone out the door, he got
- 18:38Speaker 1: an overwhelming sense of concern. He actually felt he heard
- 18:41Speaker 1: her call his name, Daddy. He knew something was wrong.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Just like Maggie Sutherland is telling us right now. People
- 18:49Speaker 1: listen to what mom is saying. Time Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 19:07Speaker 1: We're talking about the disappearance of Sydney Southland, just twenty
- 19:11Speaker 1: five years old. She's a mama's girl. She's mom's mini me,
- 19:15Speaker 1: and mom knows something is very, very wrong, joining me.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Special Deputy's Sheriff, Johnson County Sheriff's Office, Kansas Executive Director
- 19:23Speaker 1: Kelsey Smith Foundation, Greg Smith. You know, Greg, I was
- 19:27Speaker 1: talking about establishing a timeline and when Kelsey went missing,
- 19:32Speaker 1: y'all you guys were expecting her home. I believe, as
- 19:35Speaker 1: you said, she was about eight miles away, eight minutes
- 19:38Speaker 1: away or so from home, and she didn't make it home,
- 19:43Speaker 1: and you knew almost immediately after half an hour passes
- 19:48Speaker 1: something's not right. Oh, exactly, Nancy. In fact, well, I
- 19:51Speaker 1: was listening to what you were talking about. There's a
- 19:54Speaker 1: couple of things that really came to mind. One is
- 19:57Speaker 1: talking about that instinct toward that intuition that that parents,
- 20:00Speaker 1: are family or even friends sometimes have about their loved one,
- 20:05Speaker 1: and investigators paying attention to that. That's something that we
- 20:08Speaker 1: teach when we go out to law enforcement and do
- 20:12Speaker 1: different things with the Kelsey Smith Foundation, that that's a
- 20:15Speaker 1: key thing to pay attention to. It really does. It's
- 20:19Speaker 1: an indicator for an investigator because these people know the
- 20:23Speaker 1: pattern of life of this person, whether it's on their
- 20:26Speaker 1: day off or whether it's on the day that they're
- 20:29Speaker 1: supposed to be working. And the other thing that is
- 20:31Speaker 1: really critical I notice in this case is the cell
- 20:35Speaker 1: phone location data. And the cell phone is a is
- 20:42Speaker 1: a database a pattern of life. I mean, if an
- 20:45Speaker 1: investigator can get his hands on a cell phone and
- 20:48Speaker 1: get access to the information that's in there, you can
- 20:51Speaker 1: figure out where that person's been and they've been there.
- 20:54Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's amazing how much information. Even people
- 20:57Speaker 1: that say, well I don't share my data, I don't
- 20:59Speaker 1: use this, it's still there. That data. Oh, it is
- 21:02Speaker 1: so there. You are so right, Greg Smith joining us
- 21:06Speaker 1: from Kansas and speaking of data, take a listen to
- 21:11Speaker 1: our friends at Jackson County. As a sheriff, David Lucas,
- 21:15Speaker 1: we have the only thing we know of right now
- 21:19Speaker 1: is we have a confirmed sighting of her at around
- 21:22Speaker 1: between two thirty and three o'clock yesterday afternoon in the
- 21:26Speaker 1: area of Jackson County Road forty one, which is just
- 21:30Speaker 1: north and kind of west of her residence. She was
- 21:34Speaker 1: on foot without walking and jogging. We received that information
- 21:40Speaker 1: from an UPS driver this morning that saw her. We're
- 21:44Speaker 1: kind of concentrating on that general area because with the
- 21:47Speaker 1: phone things that we've been getting from AT and T,
- 21:50Speaker 1: plus the information from the people that said they saw her,
- 21:54Speaker 1: it's pretty much going to be in that general area,
- 21:56Speaker 1: and that's where we're concentrating the most right now. We're
- 21:59Speaker 1: not ruling anything out. You're hearing the sheriff speaking and
- 22:03Speaker 1: he just devolves something very very important and I want
- 22:07Speaker 1: you to harken back to the Jennifer Dulo's case to
- 22:10Speaker 1: Connecticut missing mom of five, and you know, all of
- 22:14Speaker 1: you legal eagles, that the cops in that Connecticut area
- 22:18Speaker 1: put together an incredible video montage from home residential home
- 22:27Speaker 1: security cameras, from businesses, gas stations, the nel salon to
- 22:32Speaker 1: this that to see the car, the target car going by.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Even when a school bus open the doors, the video
- 22:40Speaker 1: camera in the bus catches a car go by. That
- 22:45Speaker 1: is how critical the surveillance video is. And we are
- 22:48Speaker 1: learning that a UPS worker confirms seeing her the previous day.
- 22:55Speaker 1: But now we gotta find out did the UPS worker
- 22:58Speaker 1: have a surveillance and in the vehicle And also take
- 23:03Speaker 1: a listen to Logan Whealie Kai T News eight. Plenty
- 23:08Speaker 1: of people are still out and about looking for twenty
- 23:11Speaker 1: five year old Sydney Sutherland. Here's what we learned from
- 23:13Speaker 1: Sheriff David Lucas this morning. Jackson County authorities and volunteers
- 23:17Speaker 1: search late into Wednesday night searching for the twenty five
- 23:20Speaker 1: year old. Chriff Lucas says he doesn't have any solid
- 23:23Speaker 1: leads on her whereabouts other than that she was seen
- 23:25Speaker 1: last or Wednesday afternoon as a UPS driver saw heard
- 23:29Speaker 1: near County Road forty one. Sheriff Lucas says he's leaving
- 23:32Speaker 1: no stone unturned and trying to find her. We're working
- 23:36Speaker 1: every aspect we can think of, from the social media
- 23:39Speaker 1: side to the physical side, so we're not really ruling
- 23:43Speaker 1: anything you're hearing Sheriff David Lucas speaking. So right then
- 23:47Speaker 1: and there, you know, the cops are already looking at
- 23:49Speaker 1: a the boyfriend, although Mom Maggie Sutherland tells me they
- 23:53Speaker 1: weren't having any problems. She went to the home. Nothing
- 23:57Speaker 1: seemed amiss, nothing odd about his demeanor, except if you
- 24:00Speaker 1: wanted to find Sydney, then you got the UPS driver
- 24:03Speaker 1: that says he saw her. He would immediately come under
- 24:06Speaker 1: suspicion just by the fact that he says he saw her.
- 24:09Speaker 1: We also know she went to the gym earlier. They're
- 24:12Speaker 1: looking for video from the gym, but the reality is
- 24:16Speaker 1: Mom Maggie tells me she made it back from the
- 24:19Speaker 1: gym because her clothes and her shoes are there in
- 24:23Speaker 1: the home, so nobody snatched her at the gym. And
- 24:27Speaker 1: then suddenly a break in the case. The cell phone
- 24:32Speaker 1: of Sydney Sutherland has recovered a quarter mile from her home.
- 24:36Speaker 1: A quarter mile from her home. Now to you, Mitch
- 24:41Speaker 1: McCoy k a r K four Fox sixteen described the
- 24:46Speaker 1: area for me where her phone was found. Well, the
- 24:49Speaker 1: phone was found about a mile or so from her home.
- 24:56Speaker 1: This was a very rural area, dirt row, a lot
- 25:01Speaker 1: of farmland, and the sheriff came out and said that
- 25:05Speaker 1: they had found the phone and the phone was not damaged,
- 25:09Speaker 1: which which was alluding now at that point that there
- 25:13Speaker 1: was possibly some kind of abduction. That was the feel
- 25:16Speaker 1: from law enforcement, even though they were not saying it.
- 25:20Speaker 1: It was certainly the field that you got. And I
- 25:22Speaker 1: believe it was in that news conference that they ruled
- 25:25Speaker 1: out the boyfriend. They said that the boyfriend is not
- 25:27Speaker 1: a suspect, that he has an airtight alibi. They sure
- 25:32Speaker 1: jed to doctor Kendall Crowns, Deputy Medical Examiner, Travis County.
- 25:35Speaker 1: That's Austin, Texas, doctor Kendall Crowns. We know, for instance,
- 25:39Speaker 1: in the career of a Toronto case in DNA not
- 25:42Speaker 1: only her DNA but her killers a DNA were both
- 25:46Speaker 1: on her cell phone. How does it happen, Well, anytime
- 25:49Speaker 1: you touch an object, the oils in your hands or
- 25:54Speaker 1: your skin cells themselves can be transferred to anything. It's
- 25:58Speaker 1: cell phones, clothing, cars, anything you touch, you're leaving traces
- 26:07Speaker 1: of DNA on. So it's something that most people don't
- 26:10Speaker 1: realize that everything you handle, you've covered in your DNA,
- 26:14Speaker 1: and then anybody who handles it after you is also
- 26:17Speaker 1: covering it in their DNA. You're so right, Doctor Kindall Crowns.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Is called touch DNA for a reason. So when you
- 26:24Speaker 1: touch things, you're not only leaving behind fingerprints through the natural,
- 26:30Speaker 1: naturally occurring oil in your body, that oil is leaving
- 26:35Speaker 1: DNA behind. The cell phone discovery was a major breakthrough
- 26:41Speaker 1: in the search for Sydney Sutherland. But then fate intervenes.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Take a listen to Kate would All Kai Region eight,
- 26:49Speaker 1: those close to Sydney confirming just a few minutes ago
- 26:52Speaker 1: that the body discovered today was hers. This is coming
- 26:56Speaker 1: from Sydney's boyfriend's parents. The body discovered was in Knee.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Sutherland straight out to Maggie Sutherland. How did you learn
- 27:04Speaker 1: Sydney had been found? I was out on the search
- 27:08Speaker 1: that day. You know, we had probably three hundred plus
- 27:14Speaker 1: people out on the search, but we were all searching.
- 27:16Speaker 1: They put us in areas in anyway, I was with
- 27:19Speaker 1: my best friends and we were out. We had just
- 27:22Speaker 1: found a spot on side of the roads where they
- 27:26Speaker 1: had found the phone that Thursday. So in that area
- 27:31Speaker 1: we were really searching her and we were on our
- 27:34Speaker 1: hands and knees. There was probably six to ten of
- 27:37Speaker 1: us there. Other people were pulled in there, and all
- 27:40Speaker 1: of a sudden I found a bead and I was like,
- 27:43Speaker 1: the beads the beat off of Sydney's bracelet, and so
- 27:49Speaker 1: we were all just digging and we were finding more
- 27:51Speaker 1: and more. She hadn't said, well bracelet, as we seen
- 27:54Speaker 1: in the video. We did have a small camera at
- 27:58Speaker 1: her brother's house. She at my house at twelve, and
- 28:01Speaker 1: then she stopped by his house around one thirty where
- 28:04Speaker 1: she was leaving something from the vacation. So we did
- 28:07Speaker 1: have a picture of her at that time and probably
- 28:11Speaker 1: the last time take us in another car and putting
- 28:14Speaker 1: on his porch. But I was on the search, on
- 28:18Speaker 1: my hands and knees as everyone else come across the beach,
- 28:21Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, some of her best friend
- 28:25Speaker 1: came up to me and her dad and her brother,
- 28:28Speaker 1: and I was like, mom, you gotta go, and I'm like, no, no,
- 28:31Speaker 1: I found something. There's something here. These are clothes. We
- 28:34Speaker 1: got to mark them when we was marking them with rocks,
- 28:37Speaker 1: and they said, no, you gotta go. Now that seemed
- 28:41Speaker 1: a little strange to me, but I went ahead and
- 28:43Speaker 1: I got in the side aside and I went to
- 28:45Speaker 1: the house and they told me that I need to
- 28:48Speaker 1: go on in the house. So I saw. So we
- 28:50Speaker 1: went in the house. I'm my best friends and everything,
- 28:54Speaker 1: and at that time they come in and said, we
- 28:57Speaker 1: found the body crime stories with Nancy Grace miss Sel
- 29:17Speaker 1: And what went through your mind? First of all, when
- 29:20Speaker 1: you found that bead off her bracelet, I knew that
- 29:26Speaker 1: at that point that Sydney was there. And then it
- 29:30Speaker 1: was going through my head someone has taken her because
- 29:34Speaker 1: it looks like the way the beads it wasn't all
- 29:38Speaker 1: the races, probably one or two, and I was like,
- 29:41Speaker 1: someone has taken her and pulled on her arm or
- 29:44Speaker 1: something for the beads to come off like that. And
- 29:48Speaker 1: this is just like five yards from where the phone
- 29:52Speaker 1: was found. Um so, I mean it was packed down,
- 29:57Speaker 1: everybody been searching and it's right by Rice phil So
- 30:01Speaker 1: in my mind, if I would go back and think.
- 30:03Speaker 1: And I was talking to my friends, I was like,
- 30:05Speaker 1: you know, right here, someone grabbed her arm or something.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Someone tried to take her and it looked like she
- 30:10Speaker 1: was headed maybe to try to hit that rice field
- 30:12Speaker 1: to run from them, because it was right aside the
- 30:15Speaker 1: rice field that the phone was and where I found
- 30:19Speaker 1: the beads at When you were told that you had
- 30:22Speaker 1: to go, what went through your mind? I was very
- 30:27Speaker 1: upset and angry. I was like, no, I've got going.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I found evidence. I stayed. You know, I'm not leaving.
- 30:35Speaker 1: This is Sydney chere somewhere I found something, and very emotional,
- 30:41Speaker 1: very emotional, but you know that's my son. And what
- 30:47Speaker 1: did you have an idea about why you had to
- 30:51Speaker 1: leave the scene of the beads? They did not, because
- 30:53Speaker 1: I kept saying, why do I have to leave? You know,
- 30:56Speaker 1: I got to stay here or finding stuff? I can't
- 30:58Speaker 1: leave this. You know, about the time of the state
- 31:02Speaker 1: police and stuff pulled up in there and they're like,
- 31:04Speaker 1: go ahead, we've got this, we're looking at it. You
- 31:06Speaker 1: go on with them. So then we went to the
- 31:10Speaker 1: house to Sam Sutherland. This is Sydney's brother, very very
- 31:15Speaker 1: close Sam were you on the scene searching as well, Yes, ma'am.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I was actually the one told my mother to go
- 31:23Speaker 1: on to the house because we had I think it
- 31:27Speaker 1: was yes, Marshall ticks adjust and let us know they's
- 31:30Speaker 1: sound the body that day and uh. And it actually
- 31:35Speaker 1: about five minutes after I had my mom go to
- 31:39Speaker 1: the house, the share of David Lucas picked me up
- 31:44Speaker 1: and he took me to the house where my mother was,
- 31:51Speaker 1: and so on the way there he kind of give
- 31:54Speaker 1: me the rundown. Sam. When you were out there and
- 32:00Speaker 1: and your mom found that bead? What went through your mind? Well,
- 32:05Speaker 1: that's why I knew there was some type of struggle
- 32:08Speaker 1: there is what what we you know? We knew some
- 32:12Speaker 1: kind of struggle went on that at that one place.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Who found the strength to tell miss Sutherland? Uh? The sheriff,
- 32:22Speaker 1: David Lucas. Did did you know inside that Sydney was
- 32:26Speaker 1: dead before they called you? Did you since that that day?
- 32:32Speaker 1: I did? I did, yes, man, Maggie. And in your heart,
- 32:38Speaker 1: did you already believe Sydney had passed on? Or were
- 32:42Speaker 1: you hanging onto the fact you could find her if
- 32:44Speaker 1: you could just go fast enough. No, my untold time
- 32:48Speaker 1: was I was hanging on and I was like, now
- 32:51Speaker 1: I'm gonna find her. She's here, She's here somewhere because
- 32:56Speaker 1: here's her bead. She's somewhere close. Um. But we have
- 33:00Speaker 1: been searching since that the day before, I would say
- 33:04Speaker 1: about five thirty when everybody started. My boys, their best friends,
- 33:08Speaker 1: stayed at all that long walking that road. We just
- 33:13Speaker 1: all had the feeling there was something about that road
- 33:15Speaker 1: she was on running and they shade up. But no,
- 33:19Speaker 1: I never gave up on her. You know, I was
- 33:23Speaker 1: not going to give up on her. But no, I
- 33:26Speaker 1: had no ideal and I did not have no idea
- 33:28Speaker 1: why they were making me go to the house. You know,
- 33:33Speaker 1: take a list of our friend Journey Taylor A Kai
- 33:36Speaker 1: t Eight. Court documents are the first hand looking disturbing actions.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Investigators say Llewellen took this past summer. Now one of
- 33:44Speaker 1: the newest details how we'd searched on his phone need
- 33:47Speaker 1: evidence in the murder case. Police say they found that
- 33:50Speaker 1: about an hour after City Southerland disappeared, he was about
- 33:53Speaker 1: two point three miles from where her phone was found.
- 33:56Speaker 1: But that location Llewellen was at is actually just yours
- 33:59Speaker 1: from where it's where He's found Sutherland's body on August
- 34:02Speaker 1: twenty first, three days after her disappearance. In an interview
- 34:05Speaker 1: with investigators, Luellan admitted to hitting Sutherland with his truck.
- 34:09Speaker 1: He said he then loaded her up into his pickup
- 34:11Speaker 1: and took her to an area that investigators stay was
- 34:14Speaker 1: a reference on the phone's location services. Arkansas State Police
- 34:17Speaker 1: said he then raped and buried her. He's currently being
- 34:20Speaker 1: held with Albon. Let me understand to Miss Sutherland, this person,
- 34:27Speaker 1: Quake lleu Allen hit Sydney with his car. Yes he did.
- 34:34Speaker 1: He We don't know all the situation or anything, but
- 34:38Speaker 1: we do know that he passed her. The UPS truck
- 34:45Speaker 1: was going down the road and she remembers seeing Sydney
- 34:48Speaker 1: because she said, I've seen her running to us. Slow
- 34:50Speaker 1: down because of the dust route. It was a very
- 34:52Speaker 1: dusty day, no rain around here, so it was really dry.
- 34:55Speaker 1: So she goes, delivers her package, comes back by six
- 34:58Speaker 1: Sydney again still run and she blogs then again to
- 35:02Speaker 1: death draw off as Sydney, you know, stays on the
- 35:04Speaker 1: side and she said, I just glanced back. I have
- 35:08Speaker 1: seen Sydney still running, you know. So it was a
- 35:11Speaker 1: lady UPS and they do have times like when she
- 35:14Speaker 1: turns off on the main road to that dirt road
- 35:17Speaker 1: and everything. So she had her time on there and everything,
- 35:20Speaker 1: and she said, I remember passing one vehicle in there,
- 35:23Speaker 1: but I can tell you now, I just I couldn't
- 35:26Speaker 1: even tell you color or make or anything that I
- 35:28Speaker 1: did pass someone too, Miss McCoy k r K four.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Who is this quake? Llewellen well Quake Luellen is twenty
- 35:36Speaker 1: eight year old. He is a farmer just north of Newport,
- 35:43Speaker 1: which is the city hub of Jackson County. We know
- 35:48Speaker 1: that he is apparently graduated with Sydney from the high
- 35:54Speaker 1: school and according to some court after Davits, they were
- 35:59Speaker 1: at some point friend on Facebook, but it alludes to
- 36:02Speaker 1: them not being friends on Facebook. I guess when this
- 36:06Speaker 1: August nineteenth day came to Greg Smiths joining me special
- 36:12Speaker 1: Deputy Sheriff Johnson County, who lost his daughter Kelsey to
- 36:16Speaker 1: violent crime. When you look back, do you ever wonder
- 36:21Speaker 1: why Kelsey? Why did it have to be Kelsey? Here
- 36:24Speaker 1: we're seeing quite Llewellen kind of new Sydney through school.
- 36:28Speaker 1: We don't know the extent of what he felt for her.
- 36:32Speaker 1: She did not have any romantic intentions toward him whatsoever.
- 36:37Speaker 1: But when you look back, it's hard to unravel it. Why,
- 36:43Speaker 1: How did it was this person targeted? It doesn't make sense. Well,
- 36:48Speaker 1: that's the hardest part about having a family member that's
- 36:52Speaker 1: a victim of botle of crime. Chances are you will
- 36:55Speaker 1: never find out the why. You'll know the who, the what,
- 36:58Speaker 1: the whin the where, but why never comes out? And um,
- 37:05Speaker 1: I mean that that's the hardest part. Why was it Kelsey?
- 37:07Speaker 1: I mean her killer? They had no contact at all,
- 37:11Speaker 1: It was just a random encounter, um, and you know
- 37:15Speaker 1: where he picked her out for whatever reason it was.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Even when he alocuted, he never really got specific on
- 37:23Speaker 1: on why Kelsey was the victim that he chose. So
- 37:28Speaker 1: my heart goes out to the family. I know what
- 37:31Speaker 1: you're feeling. Um, it's a tough thing to go through,
- 37:35Speaker 1: and you have my prayers. Sam Sutherland, I don't know
- 37:39Speaker 1: if you and your mom can't comment on this, but
- 37:43Speaker 1: did did did she know Quake Llewellen? I mean if
- 37:48Speaker 1: they went to school together and they had been Facebook friends,
- 37:51Speaker 1: do you think she's slowed down when she saw him?
- 37:56Speaker 1: She wouldn't, she wouldn't be scared of me, but no
- 37:59Speaker 1: means you know, right, for instance, if he would have
- 38:01Speaker 1: stopped the truck, I think she would have talked to him.
- 38:03Speaker 1: But they they they went out and they ate together
- 38:06Speaker 1: like with a group of friends from what from what
- 38:09Speaker 1: we hear years ago and uh, and so they knew
- 38:13Speaker 1: each other, but they they'd never talked to each other.
- 38:16Speaker 1: So if he pulled up beside her, she would probably
- 38:19Speaker 1: have slowed down or maybe even stopped. If he stopped
- 38:22Speaker 1: to talk. I wonder to this day, I wonder if
- 38:25Speaker 1: he said, hey, you want to get in the truck,
- 38:27Speaker 1: and she said no, started running, so he ran over her.
- 38:30Speaker 1: We to our understanding, her on the county road or
- 38:36Speaker 1: there's an overpassed crossing h the interstate there and to
- 38:41Speaker 1: our understanding, as he went to the other side of
- 38:43Speaker 1: the overpass, turned around and came back. And we don't
- 38:47Speaker 1: know if he attempted to talk to her. We don't
- 38:50Speaker 1: know in old details like that, We don't know if
- 38:54Speaker 1: he stopped and talked and she didn't, you know, wouldn't
- 38:57Speaker 1: respond to him, or felt threatened. We don't know. We
- 38:59Speaker 1: don't have no idea on that. But can I jump
- 39:03Speaker 1: in here? Yeah, And just a kind of piggyback off
- 39:05Speaker 1: the family. You know. I was talking a little bit
- 39:08Speaker 1: about Sydney and being known around town, the sheriff, the prosecutor.
- 39:13Speaker 1: The sheriff and the prosecutor also no Quake Lwlland in
- 39:17Speaker 1: his family. I mean, that's how small of a town
- 39:20Speaker 1: this is. Everyone knows each other. I would like to
- 39:23Speaker 1: add up on Wednesday night, the mats you went missing,
- 39:27Speaker 1: the upswever was the only one that's seen her. I've
- 39:31Speaker 1: got a call. We're close. We was close friends with
- 39:34Speaker 1: the ruell And family. Every year after we got down
- 39:37Speaker 1: on harvest, we'd always go help them finish their harvest step.
- 39:40Speaker 1: And on Wednesday night, about roughly uh seven thirty eight,
- 39:47Speaker 1: we got I got a phone call from Michael Ellen,
- 39:49Speaker 1: which is Quake's father, and he told me that quite
- 39:55Speaker 1: seeing her around three thirty that day jogging and he
- 40:00Speaker 1: passed her and went on to chape As Welles and
- 40:02Speaker 1: came back and she was no longer there. So we
- 40:06Speaker 1: did know. The Sheriff's office knew, so we knew the
- 40:10Speaker 1: upas Driver senior and that quite Louellen Senior. The same day, Nancy,
- 40:15Speaker 1: this is Wendy. This is a great example of how
- 40:18Speaker 1: when someone goes missing, regarding a timeline, the police look
- 40:21Speaker 1: at who's close to her, both relationally and geographically, especially
- 40:26Speaker 1: in a small town where those that saw her last
- 40:30Speaker 1: and those that were in that immediate vicinity immediately become
- 40:33Speaker 1: either witnesses or suspects. And this case appears to be
- 40:36Speaker 1: a perfect illustration of how that happened. So let me
- 40:40Speaker 1: understand something, Maggie, miss Sutherland quite Llewellen actually jumped on
- 40:47Speaker 1: the bandwagon and tried to act normal and told his dad, oh, yeah,
- 40:51Speaker 1: I saw at three thirty. Yes, yes, now he did
- 40:58Speaker 1: because he he asked him because they had a rice
- 41:03Speaker 1: well back there. He was supposed to go be checking
- 41:06Speaker 1: and so he told his dad that was around the
- 41:08Speaker 1: time he had been back there, and he did see her.
- 41:11Speaker 1: He even told me he's seen her. I spoke with
- 41:14Speaker 1: him on Thursday. He came up to the like the
- 41:18Speaker 1: headquarters where we were set up at the house. He
- 41:22Speaker 1: just walked up, standing up against a tree and I
- 41:25Speaker 1: was sitting there with some friends and I like, I'm
- 41:29Speaker 1: gonna walk over there, and they're like, no, don't do that,
- 41:31Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, y'all can go with me
- 41:32Speaker 1: or whatever, but I'm walking over there. I want to
- 41:34Speaker 1: know where he's seen her exactly and what she was doing.
- 41:38Speaker 1: So I walk over to him. He's standing up against tree,
- 41:41Speaker 1: just calm like, searching the area around, just looking throughing nothing.
- 41:46Speaker 1: And I said, Quake, what can you tell me about
- 41:48Speaker 1: Sydney yesterday? I know you've seen her, and well, I mean,
- 41:52Speaker 1: where was she running at? What could you give me
- 41:56Speaker 1: any details? We're exactly on the road. Did you see
- 41:58Speaker 1: her running? And he goes, yeah, I think you're running.
- 42:01Speaker 1: That's odd and that's just running. That's all. He was
- 42:05Speaker 1: as calm could be and everything. And then he had me,
- 42:08Speaker 1: and I was like, if you can think of anything.
- 42:10Speaker 1: He hugged you. He hugged you, Yes, ma'am. Reminds me
- 42:15Speaker 1: of Judas and the Kiss had the Last Supper. He
- 42:19Speaker 1: hugged you. Yes. I was very upset, so you know,
- 42:25Speaker 1: I had probably was crying a little bit because it's
- 42:28Speaker 1: really easy for me to be upset, you know, Karen
- 42:31Speaker 1: Start New York Psychologists. You remember how Scott Peterson we
- 42:34Speaker 1: go back and back and back and look out over
- 42:37Speaker 1: San Francisco Bay. Here you got this guy twenty eight
- 42:40Speaker 1: years old, Quake Llewell and goes to the search headquarters
- 42:46Speaker 1: lies to City Sutherland's mother and hugs her, acting cool
- 42:51Speaker 1: and calm as a cucumber. Well, that doesn't surprise either
- 42:55Speaker 1: one of us, doesn't, Nancy, because very often the person
- 42:59Speaker 1: who as the killer goes back to the seat at
- 43:01Speaker 1: the crime, and they're doing that because they want to
- 43:05Speaker 1: relive it, not because they're feeling emotional or remorse or
- 43:09Speaker 1: any kind of regret. I think he was trying to
- 43:11Speaker 1: find out what was going on with the search and
- 43:13Speaker 1: the investigation. Karen's dark Well, probably that's a part of it.
- 43:17Speaker 1: But I think, also, Nancy, that he enjoyed the fact
- 43:21Speaker 1: that he knew something that other people didn't know. And
- 43:24Speaker 1: I also wondered they went to school together, they were
- 43:28Speaker 1: Facebook friends then not Facebook friends, and I suspect that
- 43:33Speaker 1: he had a feeling about her, that he wanted her
- 43:36Speaker 1: from the time they were in school. That you think
- 43:39Speaker 1: that could be true, Sam souther One, I'm unsure that.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't know how he felt towards
- 43:46Speaker 1: her or nothing. I don't I don't I don't know anything.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I just know that we had friends say that they
- 43:52Speaker 1: they hung out in the same group at least once,
- 43:56Speaker 1: and also on the third party. He also Sydney's boyfriend Alex.
- 44:01Speaker 1: He also walked up to Alex and told Alex if
- 44:05Speaker 1: anything he needed at all, anything he could do to
- 44:08Speaker 1: let him know, and he give Alex a hug too.
- 44:10Speaker 1: So I mean he was going around, you know, huggan
- 44:13Speaker 1: doing a lot of hugging, a lot of hugging. Mitch McCoy,
- 44:17Speaker 1: k Ark four is the prosecutor genesee the death penalty.
- 44:23Speaker 1: It's on the table. That's what the prosecutor told us.
- 44:26Speaker 1: On the table. Well that you know what, I know,
- 44:30Speaker 1: you're reporting correctly, Mitch McCoy, you have an excellent reputation. KRK.
- 44:35Speaker 1: It's not you, You're just the messenger. But on the table,
- 44:40Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means nothing to me. On
- 44:43Speaker 1: the table, that's like putting a fork in a napkin
- 44:46Speaker 1: on the table. You could take it off whenever you
- 44:48Speaker 1: feel like it. So what's happening, Maggie Sutherland? Is there
- 44:54Speaker 1: going to be a death penalty case? It's Sydney like
- 44:58Speaker 1: Gill kind of questioning his shoes friends and she knew him, uh,
- 45:02Speaker 1: but just in passing um, no communication with him, probably
- 45:06Speaker 1: in years since I've been out of school and everything
- 45:08Speaker 1: and we um grew up her dad and I grew
- 45:13Speaker 1: up in grubs with a Quakes dad. I mean all
- 45:17Speaker 1: our life. We grew ups in grubs, so we knew
- 45:20Speaker 1: them very well. Um. But right now, UM, we just
- 45:25Speaker 1: want what I want, justice for Sydney, and I will
- 45:28Speaker 1: not stop nor will my family stop until we get it.
- 45:33Speaker 1: You know, yes, Capital who you know, Capital Loga. It's
- 45:38Speaker 1: either life or death. So UM no, whatever it takes
- 45:43Speaker 1: to get justice for Sydney, that's what we're going to
- 45:46Speaker 1: take and hopefully we get that for her or we
- 45:51Speaker 1: want let's fit of this way. We're not going to
- 45:53Speaker 1: stop until we get justice for Sydney. Um, for what
- 45:58Speaker 1: he's done. Miss Sutherland, please know neither will we. We
