- 3:21Speaker 1: to our friends at Fox Kentucky police seized a car
- 3:24Speaker 1: while executing US search warrant. It's part of the ongoing
- 3:28Speaker 1: search for twenty two year old Savannah Spurlock, who disappeared
- 3:31Speaker 1: nearly three weeks ago. Spurlock was last seen on surveillance
- 3:35Speaker 1: leaving a Lexington bar with two men. One of them
- 3:38Speaker 1: lives on the property police searched. According to media reports,
- 3:42Speaker 1: both of them have been questioned by police, but so
- 3:44Speaker 1: far no arrests. Spurlock has seven week old twins with
- 3:48Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend of three years, Shaquille Smith. Smith tells
- 3:52Speaker 1: Fox News quote, I do think the guy she was
- 3:55Speaker 1: with that night know exactly where she is. She is
- 3:58Speaker 1: out there somewhere, worried and thinking about her kids. Family
- 4:01Speaker 1: and friends. Smith and Savannah's mother tell Fox News they
- 4:05Speaker 1: do not know the men on the video and say
- 4:07Speaker 1: Savannah is a goodhearted, very reliable young mother who does
- 4:11Speaker 1: not go to bars often and is constantly in touch.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Our biggest fear is that something has happened to her,
- 4:18Speaker 1: that she's being held against her will somewhere. But I
- 4:23Speaker 1: have to hold on to a glimmer of hope and
- 4:26Speaker 1: faith that she is okay. I just want you to
- 4:31Speaker 1: hear Savannah's family, we are begging for your help today.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Savannah Spurlock missing. Joining you right now, David Mack, syndicated
- 4:41Speaker 1: talk show host Karen Stark, psychologist due Karen Stark dot com.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Joining me from New York, Stephen Lampley, former detective Ashley
- 4:49Speaker 1: Wilcot jeeven I'll judge lawyer. You can find her at
- 4:53Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcot dot com and joining me right now, Commander
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the Cajun Coach Search and Rescue Tony Wait. I'll
- 5:00Speaker 1: be right back with the commander, Dave Mack. For those
- 5:03Speaker 1: people just joining us in our search for Savannah Spurlock,
- 5:07Speaker 1: give it to me in a nutshell. What happened. Savannah
- 5:10Speaker 1: went out for an evening at about two thirty in
- 5:12Speaker 1: the morning. She left a bar was seen on video
- 5:16Speaker 1: walking next to one man another man walking in front
- 5:19Speaker 1: of her. About an hour and a half later, her
- 5:22Speaker 1: mother got a FaceTime connection with her and saw Savannah
- 5:26Speaker 1: in the front passenger seat, another man driving, and two
- 5:29Speaker 1: men in the backseat who none of them were being
- 5:32Speaker 1: recognized at this point in time. We next know that
- 5:35Speaker 1: Savannah's phone pinned at a home about forty miles from
- 5:39Speaker 1: the bar, but it was turned off at eight thirty
- 5:42Speaker 1: that morning. This is streaming back such horrible recollections of
- 5:49Speaker 1: Natalie Holloway when she was on her high school senior
- 5:53Speaker 1: trip to Aruba. I know that's no comparison to a
- 5:55Speaker 1: brand new mom of triplets, Savannah Spurlock. But she left
- 6:00Speaker 1: the restaurant bar with somebody. She didn't know, whether by
- 6:05Speaker 1: force under GHB. We don't know. She's never seen alive again.
- 6:11Speaker 1: To Tony Wade joining me right now, Commander of the
- 6:13Speaker 1: Cajun Coach Search and Rescue. Tony, you have been in
- 6:17Speaker 1: the trenches since last week, conducting a brand new search
- 6:21Speaker 1: in the last seventy two hours. What's happening, Tony, Oh,
- 6:25Speaker 1: we've been We've been clearing a lot of areas. We've
- 6:27Speaker 1: been working really close to Richmond Police Department on clearing
- 6:31Speaker 1: some areas that that's a dew point of the target
- 6:34Speaker 1: to the head reason to believe maybe something was there,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and unfortunately we just haven't found anything. So now we've
- 6:38Speaker 1: moved to just our searching the Kentucky River. Oh. No,
- 6:44Speaker 1: Tony Wade, commander of Cajun Coach Search and Rescue Commander Wade.
- 6:49Speaker 1: When you say you've cleared a lot of areas and
- 6:53Speaker 1: now you're searching the Kentucky River, that's never a good
- 6:58Speaker 1: thing because if you are searching the outland, the curtilage,
- 7:02Speaker 1: like you know, cabins, sheds apartments, that's with the hope
- 7:09Speaker 1: the person is alive. When you tell me you're going
- 7:12Speaker 1: to search the Kentucky River, I don't feel good about that.
- 7:17Speaker 1: What has led you, commander away to go from land
- 7:22Speaker 1: to water? Well, we you know, we don't have any
- 7:27Speaker 1: direct evidence indicating that she has deceased. But you know,
- 7:31Speaker 1: right now we run out of run out of chips
- 7:33Speaker 1: and runt of the leaves or it's a process of
- 7:34Speaker 1: elimination at this point, just you know, looking at areas
- 7:38Speaker 1: that would be possible for someone to be in. But
- 7:41Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it's just processed elimination. Was
- 7:43Speaker 1: clearing areas so that we can no that she's not there.
- 7:48Speaker 1: We know that this brand new mom. Hey, back to you, Dave,
- 7:52Speaker 1: max In Candy, talk to your host, Dave. Was it
- 7:56Speaker 1: twins or triplets? She just had? She just had twins
- 8:00Speaker 1: about four weeks before she went missing. She had a
- 8:04Speaker 1: two year old son. Oh my stars, four year old.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Karen Stark, you know you were with me out during
- 8:12Speaker 1: the pregnancy and immediately after I gave birth to the twins,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and when I finally had to go cut my maternity
- 8:19Speaker 1: leaves short and go back to work right about the
- 8:23Speaker 1: time Savannah Spurrelot went out for the first times that
- 8:26Speaker 1: she had given birth. She is in no condition right
- 8:31Speaker 1: now to even try and get away. I mean, you
- 8:36Speaker 1: go out for an innocent dinner or an innocent drink
- 8:40Speaker 1: for the first time since you've given birth, and you
- 8:43Speaker 1: disappear that night, Karen Stark, and think about it, Nancy,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I mean, what if she's breastfeeding. She's very attached to
- 8:52Speaker 1: those twins. There's part of her that's still very connected
- 8:56Speaker 1: to them, and they need her and she needs them.
- 9:00Speaker 1: And she is in no conditions. I mean, she imputted
- 9:02Speaker 1: twins to be able to be out there and not
- 9:06Speaker 1: with her family. I can't imagine how she could be
- 9:10Speaker 1: able to escape if she ran a place. This is
- 9:13Speaker 1: a terrible situation. To Ashy Wilcot, judge lawyer, you can
- 9:17Speaker 1: find her at Ashy Wilcot dot com. Ashley, I mean,
- 9:21Speaker 1: nothing would have kept me away from the twins. Nothing
- 9:25Speaker 1: to this day, but especially when they were firstborn. When
- 9:28Speaker 1: you have a new mother who's left her child or
- 9:30Speaker 1: children behind, it just speaks to this is against her will.
- 9:35Speaker 1: You cannot imagine. It's probably it's something that she's choosing
- 9:39Speaker 1: to do. Wherever she is. It's got to be against
- 9:43Speaker 1: her will. It's the natural assumption in these kinds of scenarios.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friend Hillary Thorned wk YT TV.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I just want to know so bad where Savannah is
- 9:56Speaker 1: and that she's okay. It has been nearly three weeks.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Any one saul or heard from twenty two year old
- 10:02Speaker 1: Savannah Spurlock. I worry every day. I worry so much.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Richmond Police and other agency's working around the clocks to
- 10:11Speaker 1: find the mother of four young children. They are not
- 10:14Speaker 1: able to share with me details because it is so active,
- 10:19Speaker 1: and I understand that. However, there were some noticeable developments yesterday,
- 10:24Speaker 1: police executing a search warnt at a home along Fallic
- 10:27Speaker 1: Road in neighboring Garrett County. How police would say is
- 10:31Speaker 1: that it is related to the search for Savannah. Do
- 10:34Speaker 1: you know they spent time inside the home searching other
- 10:37Speaker 1: buildings on the property and towing a vehicle away. She's
- 10:41Speaker 1: got four kids, She's got a family and friends love her.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Ellen Spurlock says. On January third, Savannah left their home
- 10:49Speaker 1: in Richmond with the female friend. They picked up a
- 10:52Speaker 1: male friend in Lexington later in the night. Savannah facetimed
- 10:56Speaker 1: her mom to tell her she would be home in
- 10:58Speaker 1: the morning. Savannah's fall has been dead ever since. When
- 11:02Speaker 1: you're living it and breathing it, it can be cripply.
- 11:08Speaker 1: If you know anything, we begged you come forward. Welcome back,
- 11:15Speaker 1: I Nancy Grace. This is crime stories we are learning
- 11:18Speaker 1: in the last hours. Was this missing Kentucky mother, a
- 11:23Speaker 1: brand new mother of twins, taken from that bar slash
- 11:29Speaker 1: restaurant they're on South Limestone in Lexington to a rural home?
- 11:36Speaker 1: What does that mean to Dave Max Syndicated Talk to
- 11:40Speaker 1: her host. I'm only doing this because I know a
- 11:43Speaker 1: search warrant was served at a home in Gerard County.
- 11:47Speaker 1: But what can you tell me about allegations she was
- 11:50Speaker 1: then taken to a rural home. Well, we only know
- 11:55Speaker 1: that because that's where her cell phone last pinged and
- 11:58Speaker 1: as I mentioned, it was cut off at thirty that morning,
- 12:01Speaker 1: so it's forty miles from that restaurant bar that they
- 12:04Speaker 1: left at two thirty in the morning, and a couple
- 12:06Speaker 1: hours after she facetimes her mom, that phone goes dead,
- 12:10Speaker 1: So she facetimes her mom while she was out, Is
- 12:13Speaker 1: that correct, yes, ma'am, while they were actually in the
- 12:16Speaker 1: car with these unidentified men. As we mentioned, she left
- 12:20Speaker 1: the bar with two men, one man walking alongside of her,
- 12:24Speaker 1: the other walking in front of her. Police were able
- 12:26Speaker 1: to identify the vehicles, but when we get the FaceTime
- 12:30Speaker 1: notification from her mother, her mom says that there was
- 12:32Speaker 1: a man driving her car and two men in the
- 12:35Speaker 1: backseat and they were all talking at the same time.
- 12:37Speaker 1: As she couldn't make out what they were saying, except
- 12:39Speaker 1: that they were telling the mom, the mother of Savannah,
- 12:43Speaker 1: to chill out. So obviously some kind of interaction going
- 12:46Speaker 1: on that was confusing, frustrated, and again goes back to
- 12:50Speaker 1: what you said about Savannah being in that bar and
- 12:53Speaker 1: somehow maybe GHB or something being put in her drink
- 12:56Speaker 1: so that she was not normal. No, Stephen Lampley with me,
- 13:00Speaker 1: renowned Detective Stephen Lampley, when you're when somebody's telling me
- 13:06Speaker 1: chill out, just calm down. That means I am upset
- 13:12Speaker 1: or angry about something. And believe it or not, if
- 13:17Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a crime, I'm pretty laid back
- 13:21Speaker 1: with the twins. So for somebody and my personal wife
- 13:25Speaker 1: to say, hey, hey, hey, chill out, that means something
- 13:29Speaker 1: bad is happening. For me to be having that reaction,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and for these guys to be telling the mom of
- 13:36Speaker 1: Savannah spurlit. Look, lady, chill out. That's not good. Stephen, No, Nancy,
- 13:42Speaker 1: it's not. And it's my guess with what interaction that
- 13:46Speaker 1: we know the conversation took place on FaceTime. The mother
- 13:50Speaker 1: was obviously stressed and concerned about the situation that Savannah
- 13:56Speaker 1: was in, and that would be my guests, and then
- 13:59Speaker 1: of course they they retribute backward. You just chill out,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you know, just chill the hell out. So I'm thinking
- 14:06Speaker 1: the mother knew something was up from the begeting coat.
- 14:09Speaker 1: You know, I got another question, do you, Dave Max,
- 14:12Speaker 1: indicated talk show host, Didn't I just hear that Savannah'
- 14:17Speaker 1: spur a lot went out that evening for the first
- 14:20Speaker 1: time since she had given birth with another woman? What
- 14:23Speaker 1: happened to her? Who is she Nancy. You know, it
- 14:26Speaker 1: sounds very much like what you mentioned earlier about the
- 14:30Speaker 1: case out of Aruba. She did leave with friends, but
- 14:33Speaker 1: we don't know at what point they parted company. We
- 14:36Speaker 1: just know that Savannah was with these other guys at
- 14:39Speaker 1: that bar until two thirty in the morning, something that
- 14:42Speaker 1: was totally out of her normal activity and behavior. We
- 14:47Speaker 1: are very fortunate to have with us today the commander
- 14:50Speaker 1: of the Cajun Coach Search and Rescue, Tony Wade, and
- 14:54Speaker 1: he is now turning toward the Kentucky River. But Tony Waite,
- 14:58Speaker 1: I want to go through with you if you have
- 15:00Speaker 1: of the time you said you had checked a lot
- 15:03Speaker 1: of places off your list. Where have you been searching where?
- 15:08Speaker 1: What kind of structures and land, forest, ravine fields would
- 15:16Speaker 1: what where have you guys been searching. Well, we've been
- 15:19Speaker 1: searching a lot of them. A lot of farmland, some
- 15:22Speaker 1: wooded area, abandoned barns, abandoned structures, you know, We've we've
- 15:27Speaker 1: hit some some water wells. Just a lot of a
- 15:30Speaker 1: lot of open area you know that would have easy
- 15:33Speaker 1: access or what have you that could be possibly related.
- 15:36Speaker 1: We said, the police department had developed a lot of
- 15:38Speaker 1: information and an I want to such as the search
- 15:40Speaker 1: those areas whether so we did and unfortunately it was
- 15:42Speaker 1: just nothing. No, sure, not a shred of evidence have
- 15:44Speaker 1: been found. Now, when you say you've searched open fields,
- 15:48Speaker 1: when you say, Commander Way, do you have searched open fields?
- 15:51Speaker 1: How do you go about searching? Like so, let's just
- 15:55Speaker 1: say cornfield. How do you do that? Because the corn
- 15:59Speaker 1: is tall? Your practice, we have to go down every
- 16:02Speaker 1: row by foot. You can't just walk by and look.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys are with you and how
- 16:08Speaker 1: are you conducting searches of fields? Well, we have our
- 16:12Speaker 1: key nains with us, of course, and uh, you know,
- 16:14Speaker 1: the dogs are extremely good at its searching vast areas.
- 16:18Speaker 1: But we also had the police Department, Fire departments Emergency
- 16:22Speaker 1: Operations Center has given us people and we just a
- 16:25Speaker 1: lot of people spread out just calling to those areas,
- 16:28Speaker 1: extremely careful looking for anything that would be appear to
- 16:32Speaker 1: be out of police or anything that shouldn't be there
- 16:35Speaker 1: at all. You know, we're trying to set up a
- 16:37Speaker 1: grid where you know, we clear one grid at a
- 16:40Speaker 1: time and we make sure that areas has been called thoroughly,
- 16:43Speaker 1: and then we move on to the next area and
- 16:46Speaker 1: another thing process for sure. Commanderweight, what leads you to
- 16:50Speaker 1: those specific spots that you're searching. Did you go, hey,
- 16:56Speaker 1: I know a place by an old playground, let's go there,
- 16:58Speaker 1: or do you have specific information that that's where you
- 17:02Speaker 1: need to search. Why are you picking these spots? Well,
- 17:05Speaker 1: the police departments have picked the spots for us, and
- 17:08Speaker 1: you know, they haven't explained all of their evidence to us,
- 17:11Speaker 1: which they they're not going to. They have protection of
- 17:13Speaker 1: the evidence. But you know, for whatever reasons, they believe
- 17:17Speaker 1: that these areas need to be cleared and related relations
- 17:20Speaker 1: to the house that was searched. However, the search warrants.
- 17:23Speaker 1: So I think they have some self on information or
- 17:27Speaker 1: something that has led us to those alias. Oh, I'm
- 17:30Speaker 1: so glad you said that. I want to talk about
- 17:32Speaker 1: that ping Tony with me, Commander Wade of the Cajun
- 17:35Speaker 1: Co Search and Rescue the ping Dave Mack, let me
- 17:38Speaker 1: get back on that. There was a ping eight thirty
- 17:41Speaker 1: in the morning after she goes missing and is seeing
- 17:46Speaker 1: being taken out of that restaurant bar with those two guys.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Then she does the FaceTime where she tries to call
- 17:53Speaker 1: her mom, speaks to the mom, the guys are going
- 17:55Speaker 1: to chill out, calm down to the mom. Somehow she
- 17:58Speaker 1: gets hung up the eight thirty in the morning a
- 18:02Speaker 1: pain and then what, Dave Mac, does their phone go?
- 18:05Speaker 1: Did does she turn it off? Do they know? They
- 18:09Speaker 1: don't know. They haven't found the phone yet. They just
- 18:12Speaker 1: know that at eight thirty it's stopped, so it could
- 18:14Speaker 1: have been shut off, broken, any number of things, Nancy,
- 18:17Speaker 1: but they were able to trace it again. This place
- 18:19Speaker 1: is forty miles away from the restaurant bar that they
- 18:22Speaker 1: left at two thirty in the morning, forty miles away.
- 18:25Speaker 1: What can you tell me about the search warrant? How
- 18:27Speaker 1: did they get that location, Dave Mac. They got to
- 18:30Speaker 1: the location again going back to the cell phone ping.
- 18:33Speaker 1: They were able to track all the both the guys
- 18:36Speaker 1: that they saw leaving the bar. They've spoken to them.
- 18:39Speaker 1: They've actually found an S ten pickup truck and the
- 18:42Speaker 1: police are being very guarded in this, Nancy, but they've
- 18:44Speaker 1: identified all three men that were in the vehicle with
- 18:47Speaker 1: Savannah on that drive to this house. They served a
- 18:50Speaker 1: search warrant at two different locations, and they've towed away
- 18:53Speaker 1: a couple of vehicles all in this space of based
- 18:57Speaker 1: on the cell phone pinging, and the guys. One of
- 19:01Speaker 1: the guys Nancy, And this hasn't been mentioned yet, but
- 19:03Speaker 1: one of the men identified with her, they haven't given
- 19:05Speaker 1: us his name. He claims that she left the home
- 19:09Speaker 1: sometimes that morning, but she had no money, no phone,
- 19:13Speaker 1: no clothing to where she didn't have a heavy coat
- 19:17Speaker 1: and oh, as she willcott. That reminds me of a
- 19:23Speaker 1: case that you and I covered together. And her name
- 19:27Speaker 1: was Hattikin, and she had a military background. And her
- 19:33Speaker 1: husband says, she just left, no coat, no anything, just left.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Nobody's ever been arrested, She's never been found nothing. Now,
- 19:44Speaker 1: why would this woman go out at eight thirty in
- 19:47Speaker 1: the morning, her cell phones turned off, turned off, with nothing,
- 19:51Speaker 1: no way to get back. What does she walk It
- 19:55Speaker 1: doesn't make good sense. No woman would do that, and
- 20:01Speaker 1: anyone worth half this week would not let someone walk
- 20:07Speaker 1: off like that. And so the whole story doesn't make sense.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I don't believe it. Hi, Nancy Grace here, have you
- 20:20Speaker 1: ever googled yourself, your neighbors, somebody at work a crush?
- 20:25Speaker 1: Fifty seven percent of Americans and meant keeping an eye
- 20:28Speaker 1: on their own online reputation. Forty six admit to using
- 20:32Speaker 1: the Internet to look up somebody from their past. But
- 20:35Speaker 1: Google and Facebook the tip of the iceberg when it

- 23:25Speaker 1: Cajun Co Search and Rescue Commander Tony Wade joining us.
- 23:30Speaker 1: You know, Tony, hearing that it just is breaking my
- 23:34Speaker 1: heart because I didn't know you at the time when
- 23:38Speaker 1: I had the twins, but I spent every waking moment
- 23:42Speaker 1: and all through the night just trying to keep them alive.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Lucy only Wade two pounds, Tony, and I just I
- 23:49Speaker 1: can't imagine her voluntarily being away from those babies. Tony Wade,
- 23:58Speaker 1: you know, I don't see it either, you know. And
- 24:00Speaker 1: I actually met with the with the family yesterday and
- 24:03Speaker 1: talk to him. It would be really out of character
- 24:06Speaker 1: for for Savannah to do this, to just leave on
- 24:09Speaker 1: her own. You know. I met her oldest son yesterday
- 24:12Speaker 1: and there was a wide range of emotions, you know.
- 24:15Speaker 1: But it just it doesn't make sense to me. Yeah,
- 24:17Speaker 1: I just I firmly believe that she didn't on her
- 24:20Speaker 1: own just take off and go away. Neither does the
- 24:22Speaker 1: family at all. What, if anythink did you learn regarding
- 24:26Speaker 1: evidence surrounding her disappearance? I mean, did they have a theory?
- 24:31Speaker 1: Did you find out what she was saying when she
- 24:33Speaker 1: facetimed her mom? Yeah? Well, basically the only thing I've
- 24:36Speaker 1: been told about the FaceTime was that she would be
- 24:39Speaker 1: home in a few hours. That's pretty much the Tano's
- 24:41Speaker 1: test about all the information her mom told me about
- 24:43Speaker 1: phone call yesterday. I wonder if she's the one that
- 24:46Speaker 1: said that commanderweight or if one of the guys said that.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I wonder if she was coherent, if she had been
- 24:53Speaker 1: slipped Ghbu Gamma hi Joxy beauty rate, the date rape drug.
- 24:57Speaker 1: She she may not even known what she was say
- 25:00Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's why they told the mom
- 25:02Speaker 1: to chill and then hung up on her. Did they
- 25:04Speaker 1: have a theory? Tony family? Everybody has their own theory.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The family has theories, and I'm sure the police department
- 25:10Speaker 1: has series as well. You know, the police depotman hasn't
- 25:13Speaker 1: shared the theory with me. I can't say it's been
- 25:14Speaker 1: very forthcoming with me on on giving the information to
- 25:17Speaker 1: try and build some kind of plan or or something
- 25:19Speaker 1: to look into this further. It's just a big mystery.
- 25:22Speaker 1: I think everything is just speculation at the point. Man.
- 25:24Speaker 1: You know another thing, I don't phone call. I don't understand.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcot judge lawyer anchor Ashley Willcot dot com Ashley
- 25:32Speaker 1: why she goes, she goes out with a girlfriend, Why
- 25:37Speaker 1: did the friend separate from her? Doesn't anybody pay any
- 25:42Speaker 1: attention to the needs? You never leave your friend or
- 25:45Speaker 1: let them leave with people you don't know, ever, ever
- 25:48Speaker 1: ever good a nail in half? Yeah, because that's one
- 25:52Speaker 1: of the first rules of prevention, right as if you
- 25:55Speaker 1: do go out and everybody wants to go do fun
- 25:58Speaker 1: things with their friends, didn't protect each other. I don't
- 26:02Speaker 1: each other. I don't want to go do fun things
- 26:04Speaker 1: with my friends, as you well know. I want to
- 26:05Speaker 1: stay home with the twins. I waited my whole life
- 26:07Speaker 1: to have them. I've got Then, what do I want
- 26:09Speaker 1: to go to a bar and have another drink? Do
- 26:11Speaker 1: I want to go to a restaurant and eat? I've
- 26:14Speaker 1: been there, I've seen plenty of food. I'm fine. Why
- 26:17Speaker 1: would you leave your friend? I mean, hey, with the
- 26:22Speaker 1: drink and the nachos, Why would you leave your friend
- 26:27Speaker 1: or let her leave without you? And that's why you
- 26:30Speaker 1: go with a friend in the first place, Nancy, that's
- 26:32Speaker 1: that's like the first rule. You go with a friend
- 26:35Speaker 1: to be with a friend, to not be left, to
- 26:38Speaker 1: not be alone. You should never ever, ever leave your
- 26:42Speaker 1: friends somewhere Dave Max indicate a talk show host. Have
- 26:45Speaker 1: the police talk to the I call them friend girl.
- 26:49Speaker 1: It's not a girl friend in the romantic sense, but
- 26:51Speaker 1: it's a girl that's your friend. Have they talked to her, Nancy?
- 26:55Speaker 1: And combing over everything, the police have been They've been
- 26:58Speaker 1: keeping things very close to the vest I'm going to assume,
- 27:01Speaker 1: and I hate doing that, that they've already talked to
- 27:02Speaker 1: the girlfriend and the other male that went on this
- 27:06Speaker 1: evening out. But I haven't seen anything in any of
- 27:08Speaker 1: the reports I have of that discussion or what transpired.
- 27:11Speaker 1: We just know that she left with a friend. They
- 27:14Speaker 1: picked up another friend on their way, and at some
- 27:16Speaker 1: point in time the friend, both of the friends were
- 27:19Speaker 1: no longer with her, and she remained with people they
- 27:22Speaker 1: didn't know. And that's the other part. She didn't know
- 27:24Speaker 1: these people. Her mom doesn't know them, the friends that
- 27:29Speaker 1: were out. This is a total stranger boy, I hate
- 27:31Speaker 1: to say, a stranger abduction. And the fact that she
- 27:34Speaker 1: was out late. Nancy, you gotta bear in mind, this
- 27:36Speaker 1: is somebody who doesn't go out very often. She spends
- 27:39Speaker 1: her time with her children. That's what her family keeps
- 27:41Speaker 1: saying is this is not just out of character. She
- 27:43Speaker 1: doesn't do this. She's making my stomach hurt. Now we
- 27:47Speaker 1: know the first place cops always look when somebody goes
- 27:49Speaker 1: missing is the husband, the ex husband, the boyfriend, the
- 27:53Speaker 1: ex boyfriend. I'm not seeing it here, but I want
- 27:55Speaker 1: you to take a listen to our friend, Veronica Ching's
- 27:58Speaker 1: Siltzer wt VQ talking to Savannah's X. Spurlock's X, the
- 28:05Speaker 1: father of three of her four kids, including five week
- 28:08Speaker 1: old twins, feel similarly. I feel a lot better about situation,
- 28:13Speaker 1: but I feel more comfortable. Shaq Smith says he doesn't
- 28:19Speaker 1: even want to imagine his kids being without their mom.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Their grandma doesn't want that FaceTime with her daughter to
- 28:27Speaker 1: be their last conversation. Savannah, if you're listening to this,
- 28:31Speaker 1: we love you, we miss you. Please just let us
- 28:34Speaker 1: know you're okay. There. You heard her X and has
- 28:38Speaker 1: been totally cooperative. But that's not who's in the video.
- 28:41Speaker 1: And to me, Stephen Lamplay, the former detective Stephen Lamplay,
- 28:44Speaker 1: I mean the video says at all it's not him.
- 28:46Speaker 1: I can rule him out. He's a waste of my
- 28:48Speaker 1: time in the sense of pursuing him as a possibility. Well,
- 28:52Speaker 1: answer you, and I'm hoping that that's the That's the
- 28:54Speaker 1: normal procedure for any for any investigation and a missing
- 28:58Speaker 1: person or homicide is that you you start with your
- 29:01Speaker 1: inner circle, first, husband, closer, outive's boyfriend, and then you
- 29:06Speaker 1: work your way out after you. And what you're doing
- 29:10Speaker 1: also is you're looking for potential suspects, but you're also
- 29:14Speaker 1: clearing people. You want to clear people in your path
- 29:18Speaker 1: so that you can move on to the next one.
- 29:19Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that they have done this. I'm sure
- 29:21Speaker 1: they have, including him, and I agree with you. I
- 29:24Speaker 1: think maybe he's probably not a post of interest in
- 29:27Speaker 1: this case. You know, we had some issues when we
- 29:28Speaker 1: got to the bootland. There's a lot of mud. Despite
- 29:30Speaker 1: some roadblocks, the team man volunteers got in the Kentucky
- 29:33Speaker 1: River on Saturday. But we we you know, we ran
- 29:35Speaker 1: down the river and we just need to come up
- 29:36Speaker 1: with anything. It didn't necessarily believe the twenty two year
- 29:39Speaker 1: old mom was in the river, but they're checking locations
- 29:42Speaker 1: off their list. They know where Spurlock is not and
- 29:45Speaker 1: hope their efforts lead to where she is. Always have hope,
- 29:49Speaker 1: always have hope in a case until I say we
- 29:51Speaker 1: come across something that that just defines that otherwise, you know,
- 29:54Speaker 1: we don't want to leave a stone unturned. You know,
- 29:57Speaker 1: they could be a small piece of evidence hidden somewhere
- 29:59Speaker 1: that you know, it can can totally blow the case
- 30:01Speaker 1: or lead us to Savannah. So you know, we're just
- 30:03Speaker 1: we're looking everywhere. You're hearing our friends at w KYT
- 30:07Speaker 1: Caitlin sentner with me, Commander Tony Wade of the Occasion
- 30:12Speaker 1: Co Search and Rescue. Tony, when you say you know
- 30:14Speaker 1: where she's not, what do you mean by that? And
- 30:17Speaker 1: did your search center around that home or her phone last?
- 30:22Speaker 1: Pained one of the first areas we searched with police
- 30:24Speaker 1: when we got in town where we're in correlation with
- 30:27Speaker 1: the with the cell phone thing. Um, you know. Now
- 30:29Speaker 1: the rest of the areas unfortunately have not been It's
- 30:32Speaker 1: just you know, working off of community, community members calling
- 30:35Speaker 1: and saying, hey, you might need to check this area,
- 30:37Speaker 1: might check that area. Um, you know, it's basically what
- 30:40Speaker 1: we're doing. Right when we get through with an area,
- 30:43Speaker 1: I'm quite confident that there's nothing. There's the reason we
- 30:46Speaker 1: say that we have cleared this area and we know
- 30:47Speaker 1: where she's not. Um, you know, I like to believe
- 30:51Speaker 1: that when we leave an area that there's there's no
- 30:52Speaker 1: shred of evidence there. You know. Another thing I don't like,
- 30:56Speaker 1: and I'm gonna throw this to you, Dave mac, is
- 31:00Speaker 1: the insinuations made about her that she's some big tramp
- 31:03Speaker 1: because she goes out and as she's been pregnant nine months,
- 31:07Speaker 1: four weeks after delivering twins, she goes out with a
- 31:11Speaker 1: girlfriend and everyone is acting like somehow this is her fault.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I don't like it, Dave mac. Nancy. The thing about
- 31:19Speaker 1: this is that, yes, you're right, she's got four children,
- 31:22Speaker 1: but this is a girl who doesn't go out. She
- 31:25Speaker 1: does work as a waitress in a restaurant, so night
- 31:28Speaker 1: servers do tend to you know, they have a little
- 31:30Speaker 1: bit later night lifestyle than you and I. But we're
- 31:32Speaker 1: talking about a girl who doesn't go out. This is
- 31:34Speaker 1: not just out of character. This is something she's never
- 31:36Speaker 1: done before, which goes back to what you said at
- 31:38Speaker 1: the very beginning. She went out with a friend with
- 31:41Speaker 1: actually two friends, and ended up being separated. These guys
- 31:45Speaker 1: were able to separate her in the middle of the
- 31:47Speaker 1: night from the friends, and we have to assume they
- 31:50Speaker 1: went home and that she was left alone with the
- 31:53Speaker 1: so called these people that might just have been predators,
- 31:55Speaker 1: obviously not looking out for her best interest. She's not
- 31:58Speaker 1: a tramp. She's not a girl who goes out parties.
- 32:00Speaker 1: That's the thing the family has hit so often. She
- 32:02Speaker 1: doesn't go out. She stays with her twins and with
- 32:05Speaker 1: her two older children. This is not a girl that
- 32:08Speaker 1: this is normal behavior at all. We know that according
- 32:11Speaker 1: to sources, Savannah spur Alot was taken from the bar
- 32:14Speaker 1: in the back seat of a vehicle with two men,
- 32:18Speaker 1: while a third man followed in a separate vehicle. That's
- 32:23Speaker 1: what we're told. Both of these cars have been taken
- 32:26Speaker 1: pursuage search warrant and undergone forensic testing. We don't know
- 32:29Speaker 1: what they found. To Stephen Lantley, we're now detective. What
- 32:32Speaker 1: are they looking for? Anything they can find? Uh? I
- 32:38Speaker 1: got I don't. I don't know what they what they've
- 32:40Speaker 1: looked at yet. I don't know what the processes and
- 32:43Speaker 1: or what processes they've gone through rather to to find this.
- 32:47Speaker 1: But anything, anything, any little kidbit, anything they can find
- 32:50Speaker 1: with you know, hair, fiber, anything they can put their
- 32:54Speaker 1: hands off. Ashley Wilcott, judge, lawyer anchor at Ashley Wilcott
- 32:57Speaker 1: dot Com asked, what are they looking for in those
- 32:58Speaker 1: two in those two vehicles? So in a two vehicles, Nancy,
- 33:02Speaker 1: not only are they going to look for fibers, for
- 33:04Speaker 1: any sign that they can find that something might have
- 33:07Speaker 1: happened to her, any type of blood spatter, any type
- 33:11Speaker 1: of DNA, any type of anything that indicates something did
- 33:17Speaker 1: or didn't happen to her she was in the car.
- 33:19Speaker 1: The other thing is think about this. You know, in
- 33:21Speaker 1: the bar they talk about, yes, she could run date
- 33:23Speaker 1: great drugs. They don't have had a gun. Then they
- 33:26Speaker 1: have had some way a knife something to force her
- 33:29Speaker 1: into the car. So the car's also going to give
- 33:31Speaker 1: you any evidence of that. Are there any weapons in
- 33:34Speaker 1: the car, any drugs in the car, any indication that
- 33:37Speaker 1: those have been in the car. To figure out where
- 33:40Speaker 1: they transported her and if they transported her or not,
- 33:42Speaker 1: I have to say one more thing, which is they
- 33:45Speaker 1: also are going to have to look at that far
- 33:46Speaker 1: closely to figure this out. Are these three individuals individuals
- 33:50Speaker 1: that have frequent did that far? Do people know their reputation,
- 33:53Speaker 1: what they do, what they're like, Are they drug users
- 33:56Speaker 1: or they drug dealers? All of these things can be
- 33:59Speaker 1: put together to determine where she is and what happened
- 34:02Speaker 1: to We know that a special K nineteen all the
- 34:04Speaker 1: way from Louisiana has been brought in to join the
- 34:06Speaker 1: search for the missing mom. Savannah Spurlock, Commander of the
- 34:10Speaker 1: Cajun Co Search and Rescue Tony Wade, Are those your
- 34:13Speaker 1: k nines? Did you work with the canines? I believe
- 34:15Speaker 1: you said earlier, Yes, yes, correct, We have been working
- 34:17Speaker 1: with our canines up here, so at the beginning we were.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's what we do with every search we go on.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Our kenines are Withzard. How many dogs do you have
- 34:24Speaker 1: with you? Well, I have one left now with me.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Some of the rest of the guys have to leave
- 34:31Speaker 1: yesterday morning to hit back. We've got plenty of the
- 34:33Speaker 1: cases and stuff going on, so we had to. We've
- 34:35Speaker 1: been here four weeks. I kind of have to disperse.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I think me and my dog, my dog and I
- 34:38Speaker 1: are going to stay here for several more days to
- 34:41Speaker 1: assist where we can. Right now, Commander Wade, is it
- 34:45Speaker 1: a scent dog, tracker dog or a cadaver dog. The
- 34:48Speaker 1: dog gonna have with me now is a tracking failed
- 34:51Speaker 1: dog and todaver dog? What are you going to do next,
- 34:54Speaker 1: Commander Wade? Where can you go? Now? What can you do? Well,
- 34:57Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna meet with police again on this
- 35:00Speaker 1: afternoon to try and develop some more areas of interest
- 35:02Speaker 1: for us to get out and look at. We're just
- 35:05Speaker 1: gonna we continue searching areas to eliminate those areas and
- 35:09Speaker 1: hopefully we can find something that would lead us to Savannah.
- 35:12Speaker 1: We know that police have served search Lawrence in the case.
- 35:15Speaker 1: We know that they have questioned several people that were
- 35:20Speaker 1: with her that evening. What is concerning me right now
- 35:24Speaker 1: to Karen Stark is that now, this is according to
- 35:28Speaker 1: the assistant chief of police, who says that investigators have
- 35:31Speaker 1: been unable to confirm whether Savannah ever left that home,
- 35:37Speaker 1: which is located out in a rural area. One of
- 35:40Speaker 1: the men with whom she left says Pearlock did leave
- 35:46Speaker 1: quote later that morning, but he couldn't say how she left.
- 35:50Speaker 1: And we know that her phone, which has not been found,
- 35:54Speaker 1: was turned off eight thirty that morning. Yes, this is
- 35:59Speaker 1: all ringing so fast to me, But what's confusing that
- 36:03Speaker 1: they actually no one has been arrested. They say they
- 36:06Speaker 1: interviewed them in and that now the men are out there,
- 36:10Speaker 1: and yet they said they don't know how she left.
- 36:13Speaker 1: How could they not know how she left? And who
- 36:15Speaker 1: would leave without a coat, without a phone, without any
- 36:18Speaker 1: money to be able to get in touch with someone
- 36:21Speaker 1: unless she really, if she had done that was very
- 36:24Speaker 1: very frightened. So there is something here that is wrong,
- 36:28Speaker 1: just as you're sitting and I think we all need
- 36:31Speaker 1: to be very concerned. You know. I'm looking at this
- 36:33Speaker 1: nearly released surveillance footage photos steals, and you can look
- 36:38Speaker 1: at them too at crime online dot com where we
- 36:41Speaker 1: have all breaking crime and justice news. She looks out
- 36:45Speaker 1: of it. She doesn't have a coat with her. Oh
- 36:47Speaker 1: my wait, is her pocketbook open? Her pocketbook looks like
- 36:51Speaker 1: it's hanging open. I can't tell. Look at that, Jackie.
- 36:55Speaker 1: It looks like her pocketbooks just hanging open behind her.
- 37:00Speaker 1: That is very odd. She looks like she's cold, and
- 37:04Speaker 1: she's got her arms crossed, and she looks her face
- 37:07Speaker 1: looks zoned out. Have you seen these pictures to Tony Wade,
- 37:14Speaker 1: commander of Cajun Co Search and Rescue. You see this
- 37:16Speaker 1: newly released video steals of her. She's got on a
- 37:19Speaker 1: red scard and a black top and it's only three
- 37:23Speaker 1: quarters that comes down to her elbows, and she's got
- 37:25Speaker 1: her arms crossed. She looks zoned out in her pocketbooks
- 37:28Speaker 1: hanging wide open. Yeah, literally listen. You know I saw
- 37:31Speaker 1: the picture in the first thing on my mind. She
- 37:33Speaker 1: looked extremely cold. You know, I don't I haven't heard
- 37:38Speaker 1: anything from her level of intox occasion. I though they
- 37:40Speaker 1: were drinking, but you know, I don't know. One of
- 37:43Speaker 1: the videos I watched of her walking, she didn't appear
- 37:45Speaker 1: to be like she would have been, you know, on
- 37:49Speaker 1: slipped anything or anything or is that taken affect? It
- 37:51Speaker 1: was pretty dead weak. She appeared to be somebody stolebok.
