  Speaker 1: Today we look at three separate devastating cases from across
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the nation, all uniquely tied to a heartbreaking thread. The
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: tragic victimization of eleven year old children from a perilous
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: boat trip on Lake Erie to a sudden shootout at
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a Florida fast food restaurant in a high speed police
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: pursuit in Kentucky, young lives have been shattered by negligence, violence,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and reckless choices. We begin in Ohio, where a community
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is morning after a weekend search ended in the worst
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: possible way. The body of an eleven year old girl
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: was discovered Sunday near the Lake Erie shoreline, bringing a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: tragic end to a multi day search. Authorities believe the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: body is that of Angelique Cunningham of Toledo, who vanished
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: during a boat trip earlier in the week. The harrowing
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: timeline began on the evening of Wednesday, July second, when
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a boat departed from Minikee Marina in Jerusalem Township, did
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: roughly fifteen miles east of Toledo on board, where eleven
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: year old Angelique, her babysitter, forty one year old Kristen
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Gary and the vessel's owner, Jonathan Seahawk. According to Lucas
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff Mike Navare, the young girl went missing from
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the watercraft less than fifteen minutes after it left the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: marina while under Gary's direct care. It remains deeply unclear
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: what exactly transpired aboard that boat. However, investigators revealed that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Gary eventually managed to swim ashore. She then contacted family members,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: who subsequently alerted local law enforcement. The next morning, July third,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: dispatchers received a harrowing report of a body spotted in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the water near Manikee Marina. That body was recovered and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: later identified as Jonathan Seahawk, the boat's owner. A deputy
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: coroner later determined that Seahaw had drowned, though the circumstances
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: leading up to his death remained under active investigation. Later

• 1:58
  Speaker 1: boat itself entirely occupied, drifting near West Sister Island. While
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Lucas County Sheriff's Office Captain Bobby Kromick initially stated that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: investigators did not view anyone as an immediate suspect. Treating
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the man's drowning as a likely accident. The focus swiftly
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: intensified on the missing child. By Friday, Toledo Fire Chief

  Speaker 1: Alison Armstrong announced that rescue crews had completely exhausted all
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: available resources, shifting the operation from a rescue to a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: recovery mission as hope faded. That recovery mission concluded on

  Speaker 1: Sunday when the young girl's body was found near Dyke Road.
