- 1:53Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. Where is Dulse? With every day, every hour,
- 2:01Speaker 1: literally every minute that passes, the likelihood of bringing this
- 2:06Speaker 1: little girl home alive diminishes with me an all star panel.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Kathleen Murphy, renowned family lawyer, joining side of North Carolina.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Former NYPD John Cardillo, psychologists joining us from Manhattan. Karen Stark,
- 2:22Speaker 1: you can find her at Karen Stark dot com. Director
- 2:25Speaker 1: of the Coal Case Research Institute and crime scene expert
- 2:29Speaker 1: Cheryl McCullum. Right now to rate oar online dot COM's
- 2:33Speaker 1: Alexis Terres. Alexis, I am very irritated right now because
- 2:39Speaker 1: not to name any names, but some headlines are saying
- 2:43Speaker 1: five year old girl may have been objected. Look, I
- 2:48Speaker 1: don't know who took her, but somebody kidnapped her. Somebody
- 2:53Speaker 1: took her. I don't like that insinuation. What the what
- 2:56Speaker 1: she ran off and she's living on the riviera and
- 2:59Speaker 1: a pair of Neil sunglasses. No, she was taken, Alexis.
- 3:04Speaker 1: What's the latest. The latest is that her mother has
- 3:07Speaker 1: said she called nine one one in a panic. She
- 3:11Speaker 1: was sitting in the park with her with another eight
- 3:13Speaker 1: year old relative in the car. She was playing with
- 3:16Speaker 1: her little boy her little brother, just steps away from
- 3:20Speaker 1: each other to sin a park right the wh wh
- 3:22Speaker 1: whoa whoa whoa wa Alexis Terestchuck, investigative reporter, rater online
- 3:26Speaker 1: dot com. I hate to take you to school, but
- 3:29Speaker 1: she wasn't just a few steps away. I mean, Cheryl
- 3:32Speaker 1: McCollum backed me up. Now we know Alexis Tereshchuk is
- 3:36Speaker 1: a new mom. Okay, so maybe in her mind thirty
- 3:42Speaker 1: yards at some ninety feet away. Cheryl McCollum, now, Alexis Tereshchuk,
- 3:48Speaker 1: maybe you're faster than I am. But if a guy
- 3:50Speaker 1: pulls up and a reddish colored minivan and waves at
- 3:55Speaker 1: the little girl she gets in the car, I really
- 3:58Speaker 1: don't think that the mom in a car talking to
- 4:02Speaker 1: her eight year old little sisters. I understand who the
- 4:05Speaker 1: child was with her two children ninety feet away. I
- 4:09Speaker 1: don't think she's that fast. She's not an Olympic sprinter, Sheryl.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Not only that, Nancy, where she was sitting in her car,
- 4:15Speaker 1: there's like a little heel a mound. She couldn't see
- 4:19Speaker 1: over it to see the swings where the children apparently went.
- 4:22Speaker 1: She had no field of vision to watch them from
- 4:25Speaker 1: where she was. Now another Crack reporter, Jackie Howard sitting
- 4:31Speaker 1: here chiming in, has now reported from her quote sources
- 4:37Speaker 1: that the mom was scratching lottery tickets. What do you know,
- 4:40Speaker 1: alexis terres Chuck. That is what has been reported, that
- 4:43Speaker 1: she was not paying attention at all, and that she
- 4:45Speaker 1: was scratching lottery tickets. I just am finding this story, Nancy,
- 4:50Speaker 1: to be It is hurting my heart so much too.
- 4:53Speaker 1: When I look at this picture of this little girl,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and I just, after all the stories that we have covered,
- 4:58Speaker 1: in everything that you always say, it is really scaring
- 5:01Speaker 1: me for her. And I hesitate to say anything about
- 5:04Speaker 1: the mom because I'm just afraid that some other people
- 5:07Speaker 1: took her. I look at that little face, and there's
- 5:09Speaker 1: just something that's really scaring me about this story, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: the one that gets to me. Karen Stark. I think
- 5:15Speaker 1: we need a shrink because Alexis and I Cheryl McCollum,
- 5:18Speaker 1: you know, apparently this is just an old hat to
- 5:20Speaker 1: her because she doesn't seem to feel a thing. But
- 5:23Speaker 1: Karen Star, Alexis is right. I'm looking at the picture
- 5:27Speaker 1: of Dulcie with the pigtails way up on top of
- 5:32Speaker 1: her head. She is the cutest thing. I just I
- 5:38Speaker 1: can't imagine somebody taking this little girl, Karen Stark, And
- 5:42Speaker 1: why is it? It strikes us to the heart because
- 5:45Speaker 1: she's a little girl, because she's so innocent, because there's
- 5:49Speaker 1: no way that she can defend herself. If you think
- 5:51Speaker 1: of the story and you imagine what might have happened
- 5:56Speaker 1: that this man approached her and offered her a toy.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Are somebody that people like this, Men like this are
- 6:04Speaker 1: very skilled at being able to attract little children, and
- 6:09Speaker 1: so this innocent little girl follows him and hasn't been
- 6:13Speaker 1: seen since. And it's hard to imagine that any mother
- 6:17Speaker 1: would take her eye off of this child and not
- 6:21Speaker 1: have her in her view. It's just the status heartbreaking.
- 6:26Speaker 1: It really, it hits all of us, Nancy, because we
- 6:30Speaker 1: all know how innocent children are, and we love children,
- 6:33Speaker 1: you know. To Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer, I
- 6:36Speaker 1: kind of resent the headlines that Dulsie may have been kidnapped.
- 6:40Speaker 1: She was kidnapped. Now, I don't know who did it
- 6:44Speaker 1: or for what reason, but this child was taking Kathleen.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Why are they saying that? And I don't like aspersions
- 6:50Speaker 1: cast on the mom right now because there have been
- 6:53Speaker 1: times I've had the children at the playground, not ninety
- 6:55Speaker 1: feet away from me, but at the playground and I've
- 6:58Speaker 1: had to go back to the car and get bottled water,
- 7:01Speaker 1: or I've been sitting on a bench and I looked
- 7:05Speaker 1: at my look down to work onto my iPad while
- 7:08Speaker 1: they're playing. So I'm not gonna steam the mom. I'm
- 7:12Speaker 1: not gonna boil her in the hot water because she
- 7:15Speaker 1: was scratching a lot of tickets. But I do think
- 7:17Speaker 1: ninety feet was too far away to be Why are
- 7:19Speaker 1: the headlines saying that, Kathleen Murphy. To me, it's very
- 7:22Speaker 1: clear that they've identified some person of interest in regards
- 7:28Speaker 1: to being at the park at the same time. It
- 7:31Speaker 1: was a red van, I believe. So it's clear to
- 7:34Speaker 1: me like it is to you, that this child has
- 7:37Speaker 1: been taken and now we learn the entire narrative is changing.
- 7:42Speaker 1: The witnesses who claim they see a Hispanic man with
- 7:45Speaker 1: acne scars on his face lure Dulce into a reddish
- 7:49Speaker 1: color van or minivan. Now there's a whole different story emerging.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Climb stories with Nancy Grace. The police have now issued
- 8:10Speaker 1: an amber alert. They say they have reason to believe
- 8:13Speaker 1: that she was abducted. These are the last images of
- 8:16Speaker 1: Luce Madia before as she vanished. She wore a yellow
- 8:19Speaker 1: shirt with a Koala bear on the front, black and
- 8:22Speaker 1: white pants, and white sandals. Police also have the description
- 8:25Speaker 1: of the man who is believed to have abducted her
- 8:28Speaker 1: from the bridget In City Park. They say he is
- 8:30Speaker 1: light skinned, about five six to five eight, a thin billed,
- 8:34Speaker 1: no facial hair, acne on his face, wearing orange sneakers,
- 8:37Speaker 1: possibly Nike, red pants, and a black shirt. Police say
- 8:41Speaker 1: this mystery man led Luce from the playground to a
- 8:44Speaker 1: red van with a sliding door and tinted windows. She
- 8:48Speaker 1: was seated in the back by that man and then
- 8:50Speaker 1: he drove off around four twenty. That would be just
- 8:54Speaker 1: minutes after her mother last saw her. You were hearing
- 8:57Speaker 1: ABC Action News reporter Jeanette Ray. Yes, but white a minute.
- 9:02Speaker 1: They narrative as now drastically changing. Take a listen to this.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You didn't see anyone else around there that she could
- 9:10Speaker 1: p possibly have went with. No, not no that I
- 9:15Speaker 1: know because we saw one. There's just some other people
- 9:18Speaker 1: that they're here that said that they saw her running
- 9:21Speaker 1: running through through some houses in the back. And they
- 9:25Speaker 1: said that they saw two firs. They saw two men
- 9:28Speaker 1: they all black guy and they saw Mexican man with
- 9:33Speaker 1: two kids. They who's saying that they saw them? But
- 9:36Speaker 1: there's people here in the basketball courts that they saw her,
- 9:39Speaker 1: they saw her listings. They're saying that there's people they're
- 9:42Speaker 1: at the basketball court that they saw her running through
- 9:45Speaker 1: some houses with two black males. She light skin, Spanish?
- 9:53Speaker 1: What color top does she have on? Um? I don't remember. Okay,
- 10:00Speaker 1: are you at the basketball court? Yes, I'm right here
- 10:04Speaker 1: right now. She's that's the firm. She says that she's
- 10:08Speaker 1: at the basketball court. And do you have your son
- 10:12Speaker 1: with you? Or is your son? No, I have my
- 10:14Speaker 1: son with me. They said. Um. He was crying on
- 10:17Speaker 1: the sounds. He was just standing their crimes. He was
- 10:20Speaker 1: standing their crimes. Okay, So which is it? Is it
- 10:24Speaker 1: a Hispanic male with acne scars on his face, short
- 10:27Speaker 1: mail getting her into a red, a reddish colored van
- 10:32Speaker 1: or a minivan? Or is it a black male with
- 10:36Speaker 1: a Hispanic man with two kids? Or is it two
- 10:40Speaker 1: black males running with Dulcie? Listen to this. He said
- 10:46Speaker 1: that the black males took his ice cream. No, they
- 10:50Speaker 1: threw it in the floor. They took his ice cream
- 10:56Speaker 1: and throw it on the floor, and then they left
- 10:58Speaker 1: with your daughter, probably because I didn't saw it when
- 11:02Speaker 1: we came in and looked for her. We were looking
- 11:04Speaker 1: everywhere for her, was at the basketball court with her daughter.
- 11:08Speaker 1: That there was two black mails that took her son's
- 11:11Speaker 1: ice cream and threw it on the ground and left
- 11:13Speaker 1: with her daughter. Okay, well we have the officers, are
- 11:21Speaker 1: you on, Mayor aikin Um? I already have an officer here. Okay,
- 11:28Speaker 1: all right, well speak with the police, may I'm okay, Okay,
- 11:32Speaker 1: which one is it? Did sheer On McCallum, director of
- 11:35Speaker 1: the Cold Case Research Institute. I am not saying the
- 11:40Speaker 1: mom is involved in this. Let's just be clear about that.
- 11:44Speaker 1: But do you remember when Susan Smith insisted it was
- 11:47Speaker 1: an African American male. I was still in the courtroom
- 11:50Speaker 1: at that time, and I was trying to case alone,
- 11:54Speaker 1: but I think I was being threatened with the contempt
- 11:57Speaker 1: of court again. And my friend, who is now a judge,
- 12:02Speaker 1: Herman Sloan, came into the courtroom with a stack of
- 12:05Speaker 1: appellot books to try to save me. God bless him.
- 12:09Speaker 1: And somebody showed me the sketch of who allegedly took
- 12:13Speaker 1: Susan Smith's children, and I said, Herman, where were you?
- 12:17Speaker 1: It looked just like herman. So he died laughing. I'm like, hey, hey,
- 12:22Speaker 1: don't laugh too much, Herman. So now we hear just
- 12:25Speaker 1: is this muddle of confusion. We've got a Hispanic man
- 12:29Speaker 1: with acne that lures her into a reddish colored van
- 12:32Speaker 1: or minivan. Now we've got a Hispanic mail and an
- 12:35Speaker 1: African American mail. Now I've got two African But remember
- 12:39Speaker 1: before we blame this all on the mom. She's relaying
- 12:43Speaker 1: what people on the basketball court are telling her. It
- 12:45Speaker 1: is my understanding, Cheryl, she reay because she didn't see it.
- 12:49Speaker 1: So here's the issue. This is why people are concerned,
- 12:52Speaker 1: and this is why law enforcement is, you know, running
- 12:55Speaker 1: down every lead in every avenue, because she starts looking
- 13:01Speaker 1: for her daughters, supposedly for ten or fifteen minutes. When
- 13:04Speaker 1: she can't find her, she doesn't call the police, Nancy.
- 13:08Speaker 1: She calls her brother. After another thirty or forty minutes,
- 13:13Speaker 1: then they called the police. So now an hour has
- 13:18Speaker 1: passed with this child, Missy. There's not a mama that's
- 13:23Speaker 1: gonna tell you that would ever happen. We've all heard
- 13:26Speaker 1: your story when you couldn't find John David and Target
- 13:30Speaker 1: for thirty seconds and you wanted the whole place lockdown,
- 13:34Speaker 1: so an hour and you didn't see it, and your
- 13:37Speaker 1: best witness is a crying three year old. We have
- 13:41Speaker 1: flagn all over creation that you've got to verify. She's
- 13:46Speaker 1: claiming now again, when she calls nine one one, she's
- 13:50Speaker 1: not begging for help. She's not demanded that they hurry,
- 13:53Speaker 1: she's not demanded that they find her. And she never
- 13:55Speaker 1: says it's some man. She says somebody, someone, not even
- 14:00Speaker 1: a gender. So there's lots of concerns here for me.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Well quote, somebody probably took her. Okay, I understand John Cardillo,
- 14:10Speaker 1: former NYPD is chopping at the bit jump in, John, Yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I don't believe in where this mother says, So I'm
- 14:16Speaker 1: gonna come out and say she needs to be the
- 14:18Speaker 1: primary suspect right now. If you if you go back
- 14:22Speaker 1: to be cases, the well known case of the child
- 14:24Speaker 1: abduction and many of the men did terribly go back
- 14:27Speaker 1: to the Polyclass case many years ago. If you look
- 14:30Speaker 1: at the fact pattern of that case and the evidence,
- 14:32Speaker 1: her dad mark class, and her mom remembered minute details.
- 14:36Speaker 1: They could have told you which way her bangs were
- 14:38Speaker 1: hanging that morning, to the right or to the left,
- 14:41Speaker 1: the pattern polyester to cotton, composition of her clothing. It
- 14:46Speaker 1: defies all reason. The mom doesn't know what color pants,
- 14:51Speaker 1: Oh maybe flowered, maybe black and white. I don't remember
- 14:54Speaker 1: what color shirt. I don't really know where they were.
- 14:57Speaker 1: They threw my son's ice cream on the floor. I've
- 15:01Speaker 1: not heard a less believable story from an alleged complaining victim.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And I work these specific cases quite a bit with
- 15:10Speaker 1: the National Center for Missing and Exploded Children. Read a
- 15:13Speaker 1: lot of nine one one transcripts. Nancy, if I were
- 15:16Speaker 1: the investigator here, the mom would be my primary primary suspect.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Nothing about this fact pattern or the timeline makes any
- 15:25Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. We'll take a listen to what ABC six
- 15:27Speaker 1: Philadelphia reporter John Rawlins says. The plight of the missing
- 15:30Speaker 1: girl is on people's minds a lot, really, and our
- 15:34Speaker 1: churches constantly talk about him, prayingport that safety for the
- 15:38Speaker 1: little girl's messed up. Man, Like you gotta look at
- 15:42Speaker 1: the prospective, like if it was hit child, how would
- 15:44Speaker 1: you fail? People were boggled by this, you know what
- 15:46Speaker 1: I mean. It's it's mind blowing the fact that he
- 15:49Speaker 1: had a mother and two little kids and where did
- 15:51Speaker 1: she go. Officials again are asking people with cell phone
- 15:55Speaker 1: images from the park at the time of the abduction
- 15:58Speaker 1: to upload those images to the FBI the hope a video,
- 16:02Speaker 1: say an athletic event, might include someone or something in
- 16:06Speaker 1: the background that could aid investigators. The FBI used such
- 16:10Speaker 1: uploads investigating a missing child in North Carolina in twenty
- 16:13Speaker 1: eighteen and the Boston bomber case in twenty thirteen. So
- 16:17Speaker 1: with that in mind again, authorities are urging anyone who
- 16:19Speaker 1: might have video from here in the park in Bridgeton
- 16:22Speaker 1: between three and six pm on Monday, September sixteenth, that's
- 16:26Speaker 1: the time period where the little girl dell Say went missing,
- 16:30Speaker 1: to please upload that video if you can crime stories
- 16:44Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. Nothing is one hundred certainty until we
- 16:51Speaker 1: find us. Despite limited answers, we are still learning new
- 16:55Speaker 1: information about the moments after duels. Say and her family
- 16:58Speaker 1: stopped for ice cream on that warm Monday. She and
- 17:01Speaker 1: her three year old brother Rando the swings. They were unsupervised,
- 17:05Speaker 1: and in less than ten minutes, no one emergency. Um,
- 17:09Speaker 1: I can't find my daughter. Okay, what was the worst
- 17:12Speaker 1: any seener we moved here at the fourteen People said
- 17:17Speaker 1: that somebody probably somebody's from Bridgeton City Park. This nine
- 17:22Speaker 1: one one call rang into police from the girl's mother. No,
- 17:25Speaker 1: Emma dn't see anyone else around there that she could
- 17:28Speaker 1: possibly have went with. This are black guy and this
- 17:35Speaker 1: Mexican man, and police later learned only one man took Dulsay,
- 17:40Speaker 1: not two. That's one of the reasons why there was
- 17:43Speaker 1: a delay in the Amber alert, because I'm sure that's
- 17:45Speaker 1: going to be one of your questions is that we
- 17:47Speaker 1: have to vet that information. We have to verify that
- 17:49Speaker 1: information through interview, interviewing the witness by law enforcement. Also
- 17:55Speaker 1: at the center of that Amber alert was a red
- 17:57Speaker 1: van whose driver has yet to be identified. I am
- 18:01Speaker 1: not wed to the red vehicle. The witness that gave
- 18:05Speaker 1: us that information is a child of tender years. I
- 18:09Speaker 1: will not discount it. I will not ask the public
- 18:11Speaker 1: to disregard it. Wow, you are hearing the very latest,
- 18:15Speaker 1: including NBC ten reporters Sydney Long. Guys. Where is Dulce.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I'm looking at a picture right now of her and
- 18:24Speaker 1: something that John Cardillo, former NYPD said has really struck
- 18:28Speaker 1: a nerve. Alexis ures Chuck, I can tell you right
- 18:32Speaker 1: now what the twins have on. It was a special
- 18:35Speaker 1: day at school today and they're having all day games
- 18:40Speaker 1: to celebrate a Saint. Okay, and he John David has
- 18:47Speaker 1: on black Champion shorts that come down to about his knees.
- 18:52Speaker 1: He has on red Adidas shoes, and he's got on
- 18:55Speaker 1: black socks. It's a fashion felony, I know this. And
- 18:59Speaker 1: he's got a T shirt that the school gave him.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Lucy has got on black Nike shorts with white trim
- 19:08Speaker 1: that she wore in her volleyball as her volleyball suit.
- 19:11Speaker 1: She's got the same T shirt. Her hair is parted
- 19:15Speaker 1: in the middle, she has on no socks, and she
- 19:19Speaker 1: has on white tennis shoes. Not a major brand, but
- 19:23Speaker 1: with red and white stripe down the side going vertically.
- 19:27Speaker 1: John David's hair is not parted in any particular way.
- 19:32Speaker 1: I suggested to him in the car that he parted
- 19:34Speaker 1: left to right. That didn't happen. He took it and
- 19:37Speaker 1: combed it straight down, straight down. It's not a good look,
- 19:43Speaker 1: but that's what he does. Okay, I can tell you exactly.
- 19:46Speaker 1: I won't go into it because they may hear this
- 19:48Speaker 1: one day, Bimbares. I even know what underwear they had
- 19:50Speaker 1: on because I laid it out for him last night.
- 19:53Speaker 1: All right, Okay, hers are purple and his are blue.
- 19:56Speaker 1: There I said it, So I'm concerned this mom. Even
- 20:00Speaker 1: I know what Dulcie was wearing. Shed I'm looking away.
- 20:03Speaker 1: I'm not even looking at a picture Jackie. Yes, yes, Now,
- 20:06Speaker 1: she had on long black and white checked tights. They
- 20:12Speaker 1: may be a thin cotton or on some kind of nylon.
- 20:15Speaker 1: She had on a short sleeve yellow shirt that came down,
- 20:19Speaker 1: you know, mid thigh, a little higher than mid thigh,
- 20:22Speaker 1: and it has a white panda or koala bear on
- 20:25Speaker 1: the front. And she looks like she has on socks.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I can't totally tell that, but she has on little heels,
- 20:33Speaker 1: like little girl heels, and they look to be of
- 20:36Speaker 1: a light color, and her hair is partially pulled back.
- 20:40Speaker 1: That's what I recall without looking. Yeah, okay, that's right.
- 20:42Speaker 1: And she's precious. And and here's another thing. There's a
- 20:46Speaker 1: photo of her at crime online dot com wearing this outfit.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Because you keep hearing about an ice cream just before
- 20:53Speaker 1: she goes missing, they were at a gas station, a
- 20:55Speaker 1: Snowco gas station, and that's where they got ice creams
- 20:59Speaker 1: hers coconut. Now that concerns me that the mom didn't
- 21:03Speaker 1: know those details. Explain Alexis, Well, the mom had to
- 21:07Speaker 1: me some very panicked and she couldn't remember it. You're
- 21:09Speaker 1: exactly right. She when the police officer asked her that nine.
- 21:12Speaker 1: When one operator said what was she wearing, she says,
- 21:14Speaker 1: I don't remember. She can't remember anything. And she is
- 21:18Speaker 1: telling her though. She says to the operator, a black
- 21:21Speaker 1: man and a Mexican man are the two men that
- 21:24Speaker 1: people around here are saying may have taken her. The
- 21:27Speaker 1: operator then there, you know, it's a frantic situation, talks
- 21:30Speaker 1: over her. They talk over each other, then says it
- 21:33Speaker 1: as two black men. Then the story changes to it's
- 21:38Speaker 1: one Hispanic man and he has acne scars on his face.
- 21:42Speaker 1: So it went from two men, no idea, and then this,
- 21:45Speaker 1: but you know the little boy, her little brother, who's
- 21:47Speaker 1: only three years old. When it first happened, he was
- 21:50Speaker 1: pointing towards buildings, say, you know, pointing that's where she went.
- 21:54Speaker 1: That's where she went. Then the story changes too, she
- 21:56Speaker 1: got in the van and went away when they talked
- 21:58Speaker 1: to some older people. So there are a lot of
- 22:00Speaker 1: conflicting stories on this, but you're right the mom did
- 22:02Speaker 1: not know what her little girl was wearing. Cheryl McCollum,
- 22:05Speaker 1: have you made sense out of the various stories? Me?
- 22:08Speaker 1: I's the one thing that concerns me is when mom
- 22:10Speaker 1: says the little boy's ice cream fell on the floor,
- 22:12Speaker 1: she repeats the floor. They were there, They were outside,
- 22:17Speaker 1: It should have been grounds. So this leads me to
- 22:20Speaker 1: think was there in situation with the ice cream that
- 22:22Speaker 1: fell on the floorboard of the car or the floor
- 22:25Speaker 1: inside their house? It sounds like they were inside, not outside.
- 22:30Speaker 1: That concerns me. Again, everything that comes out of this
- 22:34Speaker 1: woman's mouth. I want to believe her, I can't. She's
- 22:39Speaker 1: not given me any reason to believe her. You don't
- 22:41Speaker 1: know what she's wearing. You never use her name, you
- 22:44Speaker 1: never ask for help, You part far away. Our best
- 22:47Speaker 1: witness is a crime three year old and some child
- 22:50Speaker 1: that describes somebody that even the police don't believe that
- 22:53Speaker 1: she was there. The video of her getting ice cream
- 22:57Speaker 1: is the last time we have her own film. Did
- 23:01Speaker 1: nobody else at the park took a picture as a video?
- 23:04Speaker 1: Nobody own a camera or you know, a surveillance camera. Hazard,
- 23:10Speaker 1: They can't verify she was ever in that. John Cardillo
- 23:13Speaker 1: from an NYPD sounds like you and Cheryl McCollum in
- 23:16Speaker 1: the same boat. Yeah. Absolutely, That's one of my issues
- 23:19Speaker 1: as well, Nancy. I'm not sure the child was ever
- 23:21Speaker 1: in the park because we live in a surveillance state
- 23:24Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I've got ring doorbells on my
- 23:27Speaker 1: front door, the front gate. Go one on the front
- 23:29Speaker 1: gate to my house. I've gone on the front door
- 23:31Speaker 1: to my house behind the gate, and then I've got
- 23:33Speaker 1: on my garages in the back of my house. I've
- 23:35Speaker 1: got one there as well, And I would say eighty
- 23:37Speaker 1: percent of my neighbors have that ring doorbell or another
- 23:40Speaker 1: brand of video doorbell. I mean, you really can't go
- 23:43Speaker 1: anywhere today without some surveillance camera capturing something. But again,
- 23:49Speaker 1: like Cheryl, I see no evidence that the child ever
- 23:52Speaker 1: made it to the park. That's my main concern. And
- 23:54Speaker 1: what do we really have with the mom's description. Well,
- 23:57Speaker 1: maybe these people exist, maybe they don't, But we have
- 24:00Speaker 1: right now perfectly legal behavior by other individuals. Maybe there
- 24:04Speaker 1: was a black and hispanic man walking through the park.
- 24:06Speaker 1: That's legal behavior. There was a red van park down
- 24:09Speaker 1: the street, that's legal behavior. So in and of itself,
- 24:12Speaker 1: sure the police have to run those leads down. But
- 24:14Speaker 1: even the witnesses, and I use that term loosely, aren't
- 24:17Speaker 1: alleging even criminal behavior by other people that may have
- 24:21Speaker 1: been in the park, just the mere fact that they
- 24:23Speaker 1: have to be eliminated because they may or may not
- 24:25Speaker 1: have been there. But again, I have suspicions that the
- 24:28Speaker 1: kid ever made it to the park itself. To Kassley Murphy,
- 24:31Speaker 1: North Carolina family lawyer, way in Nancy, there's an eight
- 24:34Speaker 1: year old that was apparently with this mother, and I
- 24:37Speaker 1: have not heard anything about what this eight year old
- 24:40Speaker 1: is saying and whether they were actually in the parking lots,
- 24:43Speaker 1: whether the kids were with them, But it is concerning
- 24:46Speaker 1: to me that nothing, absolutely nothing has come from this
- 24:51Speaker 1: mother that's been helpful. You are analyzing this in a
- 24:54Speaker 1: completely different vein. I'm just wondering, are we attacking the mom?
- 25:00Speaker 1: We need to attack somebody, and we don't know which
- 25:03Speaker 1: way to go with it or our Cheryl McCollum and
- 25:06Speaker 1: John Cardillo are absolutely righten crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Additional video of Dulce alivez released by her mother via
- 25:29Speaker 1: a family friend, the playful five year old mugging to
- 25:32Speaker 1: a cell phone camera, apparently just days before her abduction.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Authorities not releasing any official information today. Earlier this week,
- 25:40Speaker 1: the FBI had been working on a face to face
- 25:42Speaker 1: meeting with Dulce's father, who lives in Mexico. It's not
- 25:45Speaker 1: clear if that meetup has taken place. This afternoon, Dulce's
- 25:49Speaker 1: maternal grandmother was putting up more missing posters near her
- 25:52Speaker 1: home in Bridgeton. Dulce was last seen by her mom
- 25:56Speaker 1: at this Bridgeton playground September sixteenth, at this nearby zoo. Today,
- 26:01Speaker 1: people some with your kids and grandkids, talked about the
- 26:04Speaker 1: now days long search. I just think it gets a
- 26:07Speaker 1: little more tragic the longer goes. You know, it's just
- 26:11Speaker 1: pretty sad. Really, this mother told us she thinks authorities
- 26:15Speaker 1: and maybe some of the little girl's own family knows
- 26:17Speaker 1: more than it's being said publicly. She says she follows
- 26:21Speaker 1: the story via social media every day. I'll keep posted
- 26:24Speaker 1: on all the news channels. Everybody that's posting something. I
- 26:29Speaker 1: try to cheap updates. I want to know where she is.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to know where she
- 26:33Speaker 1: is too. You were just hearing ABC six Philadelphia reporter
- 26:37Speaker 1: John rawlins everyone fixated on the search for Dulce Alavez,
- 26:43Speaker 1: a five year old girl who goes missing, apparently from
- 26:46Speaker 1: a local park. The Bridgeton part. The reward for information
- 26:49Speaker 1: about this little New Jersey girl who vanishes has now
- 26:53Speaker 1: climbed to fifty two thousand dollars and a Facebook post
- 26:58Speaker 1: in the last hours in New Jersey. State police say
- 27:01Speaker 1: it the police who don't make half of what they
- 27:05Speaker 1: should make for what they do. They are contributing ten
- 27:10Speaker 1: thousand dollars to the reward as the search goes on,
- 27:14Speaker 1: and in addition to that from the state police, the
- 27:17Speaker 1: Philadelphia Lodge Number five Fraternal Order Police more police donating
- 27:22Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. Two other donations for a thousand dollars
- 27:26Speaker 1: were added to the reward. Now we're learning this from
- 27:29Speaker 1: the Bridge to Police department. What happened to Dulcie Police
- 27:33Speaker 1: Chief Michael Gamieri Sor says that investigators have gathered a
- 27:37Speaker 1: substantial amount of information, but still no Dulce. Now we've
- 27:43Speaker 1: also heard that police believe the child is still alive.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Why John Cardillo, former NYPD, why would they say that
- 27:52Speaker 1: they might be approaching this now as a custodio interference case.
- 27:56Speaker 1: The FBI wants to meet with the dad in Mexico,
- 27:58Speaker 1: so they might possibly have of it is that members
- 28:01Speaker 1: of the paternal family or a member of the paternal
- 28:04Speaker 1: family might have just taken the little girls with them.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And if that's the case, then she's not in danger.
- 28:10Speaker 1: This might become a criminal slash civil situation. Can write
- 28:14Speaker 1: a custody case and it would still be a criminal
- 28:17Speaker 1: abduction in most places. But that I mean, let's hope
- 28:21Speaker 1: that's the case, because then her safety isn't in question.
- 28:24Speaker 1: Then it just becomes a legal issue. But that's my suspicion.
- 28:28Speaker 1: With the with being released in limited fashion. Right now,
- 28:31Speaker 1: we'll take a listen to what ABC six Philadelphia reporter
- 28:33Speaker 1: John Rollins says, well, the investigation continues to grind on here,
- 28:37Speaker 1: and the authorities make it a point that it is
- 28:39Speaker 1: still a wide open investigation. Pretty much nothing is off
- 28:42Speaker 1: the table at this time. We were told the FBI
- 28:45Speaker 1: has spoken by phone with the little girl's father. He
- 28:48Speaker 1: lives in Mexico. The hope is at some point soon
- 28:51Speaker 1: they will be able to have a face to face
- 28:53Speaker 1: talk with him to try to see if he can
- 28:55Speaker 1: shed any light on what happened to the little girl.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Authorities say they continue to operate under the premise that
- 29:02Speaker 1: the little girls seen here getting ice cream, Dulse Alivez
- 29:05Speaker 1: is still alive. They say they will continue to treat
- 29:07Speaker 1: her disappearance as a missing person until evidence indicates otherwise.
- 29:11Speaker 1: For more than a week, a small army of investigators
- 29:14Speaker 1: have searched the Bridgeton City Park where Dulce was last seen.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Others not seen. Are in the process of collecting terabytes
- 29:21Speaker 1: of data from cell phone communications, along with video from
- 29:24Speaker 1: multiple cameras, including those on school buses and police vehicles.
- 29:28Speaker 1: The Prosecutor's office said video of a red vehicle recently
- 29:31Speaker 1: broadcast had been investigated and determined not involved in the abduction.
- 29:35Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at news alerts as late as
- 29:39Speaker 1: just yesterday and they're still talking about the red van
- 29:43Speaker 1: and describing the Hispanic mail with black hair and acne scars.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I just it's so much information as being disseminated. Alexis
- 29:52Speaker 1: terres check. How we now learn they've ruled out the
- 29:55Speaker 1: red minivan or is it still a possibility. While the
- 29:58Speaker 1: investigators have said that they found a they researched it,
- 30:01Speaker 1: they investigated it, and there's this one band that was
- 30:04Speaker 1: ruled out, but that is still out there. And what
- 30:07Speaker 1: they said from the very beginning was that what the
- 30:10Speaker 1: authorities said it was a tender age person. So it's
- 30:13Speaker 1: obviously the little boy, the little brother who's just three
- 30:15Speaker 1: years old, and you know, a three year old red
- 30:18Speaker 1: blue green. They know their colors, but under questioning, they
- 30:22Speaker 1: might not be able to get it said correctly. So
- 30:24Speaker 1: this was something that I think that they were very
- 30:26Speaker 1: hesitant to say from the very beginning. There's never been
- 30:30Speaker 1: a license played or anything identified with that, so they
- 30:34Speaker 1: have pretty much ruled this out. I know they looked
- 30:36Speaker 1: at over five hundred reddish tinted vehicles. Cheryl McCollum nathy.
- 30:40Speaker 1: They've checked every red vehicle, not just vans. They have
- 30:45Speaker 1: searched by foot, by boats, they used infrared technology on
- 30:50Speaker 1: a helicopter. They've used dive teams, but sonar canines they
- 30:54Speaker 1: brought in the FBI. They have done everything possible to
- 30:59Speaker 1: find this child. And again this point for me and
- 31:03Speaker 1: this investigation, Mama needs to take a polygraph. Okay to you,
- 31:07Speaker 1: Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. The dad is in Mexico,
- 31:12Speaker 1: all right, and police are not going down there. That
- 31:15Speaker 1: tells me they don't believe the dad's involved. He's not involved.
- 31:18Speaker 1: I mean, they have him on like a bust the
- 31:22Speaker 1: video phone, and they know he's in Mexico, and I
- 31:26Speaker 1: can guarantee he's probably not got connections to be able
- 31:30Speaker 1: to transport this child. Take a listen to ABC Action.
- 31:34Speaker 1: He's reporter Maggie Kent. Now, state and local police are
- 31:37Speaker 1: joined by the FBI Child Abduction Division. As the search continues,
- 31:42Speaker 1: so does a criminal investigation. If the child wandered away,
- 31:46Speaker 1: time is of the essence. Obviously, If there's something foul
- 31:50Speaker 1: play amiss, time is also of the essence. The professional
- 31:53Speaker 1: search crews are utilizing every tool available in the air,
- 31:58Speaker 1: on the ground, and underwater, and strangers are stepping into help.
- 32:02Speaker 1: I thought I'd come down and just walk and look
- 32:05Speaker 1: and see what I could do. But I could see
- 32:08Speaker 1: this as a difficult search. I'm very concerned about this
- 32:11Speaker 1: little girl, and I pray to God that she's found shortly.
- 32:15Speaker 1: We just got an update from police lesson in an
- 32:17Speaker 1: hour ago, who say they have to use canines to
- 32:20Speaker 1: search with this little girl's mother's car, which is still
- 32:23Speaker 1: parked in this parking lot right near the playground where
- 32:26Speaker 1: she went missing. They've also searched the family home. The family,
- 32:30Speaker 1: they say, has been more than cooperative. Although the FBI
- 32:33Speaker 1: Child Abduction Unit is here, there are no clues to
- 32:37Speaker 1: indicate that Dulce was abducted. Did you hear that? Did
- 32:42Speaker 1: you hear that? John Cardillo from her NYPD no clues
- 32:45Speaker 1: to suggest she was abducted. What about what all the
- 32:48Speaker 1: witnesses are saying, Well, you only don't have any credible witnesses,
- 32:51Speaker 1: right I man, we've been saying, And you've got little kids,
- 32:53Speaker 1: You've got the mom who is suspected as diagramming with
- 32:56Speaker 1: Cheryl has said mom needs to take a polygraph, but
- 32:59Speaker 1: I would look at dad's family. Let's face it, howeverus
- 33:04Speaker 1: lies it. This is not the most attentive nurturing mother. Okay,
- 33:08Speaker 1: I think we've established that. No matter how this cake
- 33:10Speaker 1: shakes out. I mean, you're ninety yards it was the
- 33:13Speaker 1: thirty yards away. I don't let my dog get thirty
- 33:16Speaker 1: yards away if I walk them off Policiana Park. You
- 33:18Speaker 1: don't let your little adorable five year old get ninety
- 33:22Speaker 1: feet away. I mean, that's just ridiculous. And so maybe
- 33:25Speaker 1: the dad's family, there might be an aunt, there might
- 33:28Speaker 1: be a grandmother, there might be an uncle who saw
- 33:30Speaker 1: signs of neglect. Now we don't know that. But my
- 33:34Speaker 1: point is we have no evidence in this case. There's nothing,
- 33:37Speaker 1: no evidence of abduction, not a bow and her hair
- 33:41Speaker 1: left on the ground, nothing. So the police are definitely
- 33:44Speaker 1: definitely looking at the mom. But at the same time,
- 33:48Speaker 1: they know the dad was in Mexico. Sure we can
- 33:50Speaker 1: rule him out, but now they're looking at this he
- 33:52Speaker 1: a family here was we're Child and Family Services ever
- 33:56Speaker 1: called to this home. That's gonna be a big indicator
- 33:58Speaker 1: if we get that data point we find out that
- 34:00Speaker 1: they were. I could have been a family friend, it
- 34:03Speaker 1: could have been anybody for any reason. But I do,
- 34:06Speaker 1: just in my gut, I do feel the police are
- 34:09Speaker 1: on the right track when they say they feel she's
- 34:11Speaker 1: still alive. I do as well. Karen Stark psychologists joining
- 34:14Speaker 1: us out of Manhattan. You can find her at Karen
- 34:16Speaker 1: Stark dot com. Karen, why do you believe people are
- 34:20Speaker 1: attacking the mom? It's because we don't know where else
- 34:23Speaker 1: to turn. Well, that may be part of it, Nancy,
- 34:26Speaker 1: but there's also the fact that it took so long
- 34:29Speaker 1: to get in touch with the authorities. I mean, I
- 34:32Speaker 1: think that the story which you've told about John David
- 34:36Speaker 1: is very indicative of what a parent would do. I
- 34:39Speaker 1: can't imagine a mom having this child disappear she didn't
- 34:45Speaker 1: remember what she was wearing, but not getting in touch
- 34:48Speaker 1: with the police immediately when her child isn't there, calling
- 34:52Speaker 1: her brother. That does not ring true to me. I
- 34:55Speaker 1: don't understand it. Well, it's ters Radar online dot com
- 34:59Speaker 1: Investigate reporter. What more do you know? I want to
- 35:01Speaker 1: tell y'all that the other day I was at a
- 35:03Speaker 1: corn maize. We have huge pumpkin hatches out here in California,
- 35:06Speaker 1: and my little boy, who's five and his best friend, Mackenzie.
- 35:10Speaker 1: They ran into the corn maize together. The other mom
- 35:13Speaker 1: and I followed. We could not find them. We were
- 35:17Speaker 1: calling their names, calling, calling, calling, We went deeper into
- 35:19Speaker 1: the corn maize. The other mom said, I'm going to
- 35:21Speaker 1: turn around and I'm going to go to the front.
- 35:23Speaker 1: She went back to the front. They were both there crying.
- 35:26Speaker 1: We had myself, that was probably a good fifteen minutes
- 35:30Speaker 1: that we were searching for them inside the corn mais
- 35:32Speaker 1: thinking they were there, and they were outside, and there
- 35:35Speaker 1: were police crawling all over this place. So the kids
- 35:38Speaker 1: would have been fine, but it was a little while before,
- 35:41Speaker 1: you know, And if we hadn't found them, we then
- 35:43Speaker 1: would have called. But I don't think this is such
- 35:45Speaker 1: a long time for this mom to not have called
- 35:47Speaker 1: the police. You search, you call your family, you say,
- 35:49Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I can't find her. I could be
- 35:51Speaker 1: wrong on this. I know we all have good instincts,
- 35:54Speaker 1: but I do not see this as the mom having
- 35:56Speaker 1: done this. And I will take responsibility if I'm wrong.
- 36:00Speaker 1: But I think this is somebody who was searching, searching, searching.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Called her brother. He hardly said called the police. She
- 36:06Speaker 1: called the police, and she is in a panic, looking
- 36:08Speaker 1: for her little daughter. We wait as the search goes
- 36:11Speaker 1: on for a five year old Dulcie Maria Alavaz. Tipline
