  Speaker 2: I saw Heidi at about twelve fifteen midnight running on
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the seventh.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: January seventh, twelve fifteen am. Yes, man, So at twelve
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: fifteen am, you were having a verbal argument with your
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: daughter because she had been smoking pot. Is that correct?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It was a lot of different behaviors that were coming
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: from her. But no, we weren't having an argument. We
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: were having a conversation. When the conversation was.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Over, okay, it was like.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: She said, Mom, you know what, I'm really tired. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: want to go to bed. And I was like, yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it's really late. It's about eleven forty five at this time.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, it's late.

  Speaker 2: she said, okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I love
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you good night. I love you good night. It wasn't
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: an explosive argument. It was a parent child conversation about
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: life choices.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So you at that point think, well, okay, I brought
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it up to her, we'll talk about it tomorrow. What's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the next thing that happened.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The next thing that happened is I was sitting outside
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: on my back patio, probably about I don't know, ten
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: to twenty minutes after she went to her room, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: what I thought.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: She was laying down and it's adjacent to her bedroom window,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and I could hear her yelling at someone. I had
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: just taken her phone. Like, I was like, you're in trouble,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you're making bad choices. I'm taking your phone, which she
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: wasn't happy about, but I mean, and she's yelling. She's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: yelling so loud, and she doesn't sound like herself, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, who is she talking to? I have her phone?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And then I thought, oh, she still has her MacBook.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So she's yelling at somebody and I'm trying to listen,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: but I can't really understand what she's saying. I made
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: out a few cusswords, and the next thing I know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: my front door slams, and I realized that she has
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: her car keys, and so I be larna outside And
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: when I get outside and I'm at the car door,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at her and I know that she's not home,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that she's having a mental health episode.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Then there's a pause and I'm just looking at her
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm trying to process what's going on, what she's thinking.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And then she's trying to lock the door, but it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: like obvious that she doesn't have control of her faculties,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and she's rolling down the windows. And I open the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: door and I'm like, it is after midnight, Like you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: can't go anywhere, Heidi, You're not going anywhere. And I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: go to pull the keys out of the car, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: she puts the car in reverse and hits the gas
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: as hard as she can. She drags me with the car.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: She's not saying much. He's hitting me or trying to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: hit me and trying to go back and forth and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: trying to get me off of the car so that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: she can make off.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: With the car.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And what happened.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I was able to get the keys out of the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: car and I just held onto the keys for dear life.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm hurt, and she's striking me over and over again.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: At one point, I'm laying on the concrete with my
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: right hand holding the set of keys and my left
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: hand over it, just holding them so tight. She's striking
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: me and trying to get the car keys. And when
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I get my footing, I'm able to stand up, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: when I stand up, she takes off running. And that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: was the last time I saw my daughter. She didn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: have any shoes on. She had black, fuzy pajama pants.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: On in a great sweatshirt.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, you are hearing the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: mother of teen girl, Heidi Kane. You're hearing Sydney five
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for her mother who was on a desperate shirt to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: bring her daughter home. And all of you mothers out
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: there know that even if your child misbehaves, you don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: stop loving them. They're still your number one priority, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: love of your life. Especially teens act out, but this
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is far beyond acting out. Heidi has now been missing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: since January seventh in fed County, Georgia, Fetteville, the county seat.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: This is about an hour and a half south of Atlanta.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: If this child has made it to inner City Atlanta,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: what has become a her? Where is sixteen year old
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Heidi Caine Sydney since January the seventh? Have you gotten
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a phone call or a text from your daughter, even
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: from someone else's phone?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: No?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing. Is it true that police have told you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: she's most likely quote a runaway? Yes, miss Fife. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: just can't count the number of times that children and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: teens have been classified as a runaway and they weren't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: runaways at all. And I want to remind everyone listening
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that most states have what we call a law against
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: harboring runaways. Those are children that run away from home.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And there's no question you hear Sidney describing her daughter
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: having some type of a mental episode after her phone
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: is taken away and she knows she's in trouble, she
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: tries to leave in the car. Mom manages, at great
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: risk to herself to her own safety, to stop her
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: from leaving in a car, and she takes off running
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in the dark of the night, those shoes, and now
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: she's missing again. Any One harboring a runaway will be prosecuted.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You will go to jail for putting the mother through
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: what she's going through. It is a crime for adults
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to encourage miners to run away, to hide miners from
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: their parent or their guardian. You cannot encourage a child
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to run away or stay away from home. That is
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a crime. If this girl does not have control of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: her faculties, this could be a kidnap where you keep
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a person away from where they want to be. It's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: all it takes. It doesn't require a gun or a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: knife for binding them with cord. Simply keeping them away
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: will count as a kidnap. Do you believe Sydney that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: somehow someone is harboring her? And if you conveyed that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to police.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Over over and over again, and the police keep telling
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: me of red tape, not enough probable cause, this and that,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And I have been working tirelessly to get the police
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: what they need. I've been rattling all the cages. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: it should not be like that in the case of
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a missing child. Hidie's a straight a student on track
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to do whatever she wants with her life. Heidi logged
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: into school and I'm hoping this is the key that
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: unlocks it. Nancy. Heidi logged into school on the eighth
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: of the ninth. Heidi is homeschooled through a program called
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Georgia Connections Academy. And when I realized that, I sent
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: it straight.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: To the detective.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: This red tape shouldn't be a sing Nancy. And I'm
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: telling you it'll take me three to maybe seven years,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to change law surrounding this. I'm gonna
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: rally for it. No red tape with a missing child.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: None when it comes to a baby. When it comes
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to somebody's children, especially a child that's in danger, there
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: should not be this tape. It's wrong, It's so wrong.
• 11:25

• 11:29

• 12:01
