• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Princess's family are desperately searching for twenty six year old
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: mate Sella Garcia really terrified. I don't even know what
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to think. This is crime stories with Nancy Grace, She's like,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all great, back there. I'm stid outside a cigarette and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: when I came out, she wasn't there. She tried calling,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: no answer in the phone was stead So I was like, okay,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: let's not over wracked. I stood in the rain by
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: her car for like I don't know. I lost time
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: probably over thirty forty minutes waiting for her and she
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to come back. It is odd that she's walked away,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: but we're still investigating. And where I am saying is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that there's no evidence of foul play, that we beat you,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as she would never leave meil like I was her
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: younger sister. There's no way I see her every day.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: She doesn't just wander off by herself. Still no answers
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in the search for a gorgeous young woman Maricella Garcia.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Joining me right now, Investigative reporter Alan Duke Allan, you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: told me you've got an update on Maricella's disappearance. For
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: those of you that aren't familiar with her, disappearance. She
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: goes shopping at a local Goodwill just to get um
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: closed for a costume for what's called the Decades Party.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Everybody's dressing up like the eighties. It's an eighties party.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: She goes in. She and her sister are in their shopping.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: She says she's gonna go out for a cigarette, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: she's never seen again. Her choker is found ripped off
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: her neck near a dumpster at the far end of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the parking lot. The car is still parked outside of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the parking lot with her cell phone no no, no,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: her purse money in it. A cell phone is found
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: smashed ruined in the parking lot. Her family says it's hers,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: but the sim car had been removed. Her family says
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she would never have just disappeared this way. So, Alan,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what's your update. Well, I've found out several things. First
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of all, your hunch about her cigarettes was right on target.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I have found out you were wondering did she have
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the cigarettes with her or were in the car that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know you you don't just carry the background turned
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: out it seems that she never made it back to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: her car to get the cigarettes. The cigarettes were found
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in her purse in her car. So her reason for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: obstensibly telling Sarah that she's going out to have a cigarette.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: She never never had that cigarette. Number One, don't say
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: ostensibly to suggest that that's not why she left. She
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: would not have left her little sister alone at night
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in a good will and just leave, leaving her BMW,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: her purse, everything behind in the car now, but I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: can't take credit for that. That was from our caller
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Donna A, who was wondering about the cigarettes. Were they
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: missing from the car? Was she just walking around with
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a pack of cigarettes in her hand? And I agree
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: with Donna, but I think she could have gone to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the car, gotten a cigarette and walked away. But I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tend to think that you're right. She never made it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to the car, so that's interesting. Between the goodwill door,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the entrance slash exit and her car is where this happened.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: She wasn't around back, Smoky, she never made it to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: get a cigarette. Look, we're going on three weeks and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: she's missing. We have very few clues here, so people
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: are trying to think what could have happened, right, So
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: one of the things that has been done. Yeah, everybody's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: thinking about it. But the cops well, we'll get into
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that in just a second. Why are the cops not
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: so interested? I have to mention this and you're gonna
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: scream at me, and I'm used to that, so go
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ahead and scream at me. But we did a search
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and we found out that she had a drug charge
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: against her from one year earlier, exactly almost to the day.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute? Who's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: we me and some other people? I'm not the only one.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's these are online. These are online records you can get. Well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: how do you know is this Maricella? Same age? Also,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the family knew that wasn't thinking to be it's been well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you're telling me the family confirmed it. But the family
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: because she had a drug charge a year ago that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was never adjudicated. You know what, So what am I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: not supposed to care that somebody has taken her and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: has probably killed her. No, it's a piece of information
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that suggests some things. Not necessarily, she might have a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: drug problem, or that she probably has some boyfriend that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got her into a drug situation. Would be my guess.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe you know, I don't know how many drug cases
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you've tried, Alan oh zero? Well, let me clear in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on something. The few times that I have had win
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: him in as a codefendant on a drug case, it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because they happen to be in the car with their
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: drug dealing boyfriend or husband, or in the home. So,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not throwing Maricella Garcia into that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: pot just yet. That's your update that's supposed to help
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: me find mareth. You know what, I'm not throwing her
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: into that part either. But listen to me, there is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: reason to believe that she, in her lifestyle, had been
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: around some questionable people over the last several years. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: am told by oh like you haven't. I'm a journalist.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I got that makes you special. I've been
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: around dopers, hookers, killers, grand theft, larceny ors, you name it,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: because they've been witnesses for me. We've gone out on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the street, uh, looking for other criminals. So you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm right in there with Maricela because let
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: me tell you one thing, little boy, Well, this is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you gotta go to hell sometimes to get the witnesses
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to put the devil in jail. So just because she
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: may have had a doper boyfriend, I don't care The
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: thing is this may be what is influencing the l
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a p D. Because the Los Angeles police have have
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: initially termed this voluntary missing. Now I'm not sure that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they're they're not investigating this today. Maybe over the weekend
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they they saw the light and and they're out there
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: seeking the surveillance camera video and everything else. But maybe
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that the fact that she had this. Actually it was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a year ago almost exactly too when she disappeared, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: as you said, it wasn't adjudicated. It was dropped against her.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: A couple of co defendants, however, apparently did a plea deal.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: They were convicted in that case. So let me understand
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what you just said. The charges against her were drawing, Yes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: they were never they were never prosecuted against her. You know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you just wasted about four minutes of my life. Well,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's information about her, just what I guess that she
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: had probably a doper boyfriend or a friend that was
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: involved in dope. She was in the car with them,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and they finally pled guilty to let her go because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: she wasn't involved. So you know what think about this
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: with your analysis, with your analysis, that would put the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Holy Jesus Christ in jail. You know who he hung
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: around with, right, everybody? Nobody else liked well with Mark Maricella. Yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you're not judging that with a ten foot pol are you?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So you want me to back off The search from maris. Absolutely,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: she had a boyfriend or a friend that was dope.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But this should be something that should be considered in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: figuring out where she is. Okay, I agree with that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Let's say she was shopping in Goodwill for this costume
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for her eighties or nineties party and she out of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: text message from somebody, and somebody she didn't want her
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: sister Sarah to even meet or know about. She got up, yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I'm making this up, and she said, well, it's called speculation.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's called theories, okay, which is not allowed in a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: court of Look, god, I'm not under oath. So she
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: got a text message and the guy or a woman
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: or whoever said hey, look, okay, I'm outside in the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: parking lot, come out here. I need to talk to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you or whatever, and she didn't want Sarah to know
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: who it was, and she just hey, Sarah, I need
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a cigarette. I'll be right back, and she went out.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: She never got the cigarette, but whatever or whomever that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was that she went for it went bad, however that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: might be, and she's missing. Now, that's just the idea
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't a cigarette, that she was going up,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: your idea that you came up. What else do we have,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: not a shred the same way. Women go missing every
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: day of the year. They are outside and they get
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: kidnapped and or murdered for what reason, no reason. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: now you're extrapolating from the company she kept a year
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: ago that somehow that's connected to her disappearance. You know
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: what it may be. But the bottom line is I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: don't think this girl did anything wrong, and I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: want to be a part of dragging her through the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: mud on charges against her that were dropped in a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: court of law. No mud here. I'm trying to clear
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: away the mud. I'm trying to so that we can
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: see what might have happened with her. I want to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: thank someone for being with us today. It is simply safe,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: simply safe home protection and alarm system. You know, thousands
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of people across America every day want a security system,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but they think they cannot afford it. I have a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: security system, got a security system for my mom. This
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is called simply Safe, and I love it. As a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, a lady in our neighborhood, ms Shirley,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: her husband passed away recently. He was a World War
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: two vet like my father. She's all one, and she's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: been very concerned because somebody will come and ring her
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: doorbell at like three o'clock in the morning. And the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: other morning she woke up around three o'clock in the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: morning and she could hear someone outside whistling, whistling, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it scared her so much. Well, she got a Simply Safe.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It's fourteen nine nine a month, and this is one
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of my mom's best friends. Okay, I feel so much
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: better knowing she has it. The thing about it is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you can afford it doesn't have any contracts. It's seven
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: three sixty five protection. There are security professionals watching and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they react instantly and send the police. You can get
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: temper sent off by going to simply safe dot com
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: slash Nancy simply safe dot com slash Nancy. And I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: certainly would not have suggested this to my mom or
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: her friends if I did not believe that home alarm
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: systems stop crime like simply Safe, That's what I think Alan.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Is it true that the family feels the l a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: p d Is not really looking for Marcella and they're
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: trying even though they don't have the money to hire
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a private investigator. Yes, I talked with this private investigator
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: who works out of New Jersey who specializes in finding
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: missing people. Unofficially he's on the case. Officially he's not
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: because they've not come up with any kind of funds
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to bringing out here. He's not going to charge them.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: He just needs some expense money. And they're trying to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: get a private detective to just even to communicate with
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the police for them, because they're having a very difficult time.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I know when Sarah calls the detective up, he gets
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: too emotional and or maybe not too emotional understandably, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the father is not getting a lot of information from
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the police, and even a private investigator may even help
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: them know well, what are the police thinking and what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: are they doing? But I do know that there's a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: private investigator they're trying to raise funds for in order
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to get on the Marisella Garcia case, or at least
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: help the police get onto the case. Do you have
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: anything else for me? Yeah, here's here's a bad news
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: good news thing over the weekend. You know, the Marisella
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Garcia case and and all of these other things are
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: bringing more attention to missing people, missing women, especially in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: our community, the one out here in Los Angeles where
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I live. We got information this weekend about a young
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: lady missing Inventura County, about twenty miles away. Good news
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is I'm not even mentioning her name because she was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: found safely. But what happened, and this is an example
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of what happens, is apparently there was an older guy
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: who lured her away, took her out to another part
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, and they eventually they tracked her down
• 13:02
