• 1:53
  Speaker 3: When Ong hasn't arrived thirty minutes later, Harmon starts to
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: worry Ang isn't answering your calls or text. Harmon reaches
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: out to Ong's parents, who inform her that Ong planned

  Speaker 3: reports her daughter missing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, there everything is sideways. Joining me an
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: all star panel to make sense of what we know
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: right now. But first to a very special guest joining us.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: This is Siah's mom, Samara Harmon. Miss Harmon, thank you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for being with us. Of course, Miss Harmon, tell me
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: about the moment you discovered your daughter is missing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I was sitting in the police station that we're waiting
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: for hopefully her and her father to show up for
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: custodio exchanged, like we had every time, we had one
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: in front of the police station, to which he did
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: not show up.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So you were sitting in a car, or in a van,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: or inside the station?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Where were you?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I was inside the station.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, was that normal? Did you normally get inside to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: swap off?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I normally do yes, because I myself don't have a
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: personal vehicle, so unless I had a ride given to
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: me by a family member or a friend, I would
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: often wait inside with Soraya or for her.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: How often did you let Sarah be with her dad?
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: We had a five to five to two to two schedule,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: so I would have her for five days, he would
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: have her for five, and I would have her for
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: two and he would have her for two. It was
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: fifty to fifty custody.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: How long had that custody agreement been enforced?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It took place.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Around August of twenty twenty three, so since then.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So not even a year exactly. Question regarding the swap off,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: how would Soriah act when she would come back to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you from being with her father?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Super excited? She would often reach out for me. Sometimes,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: when he would walk with her, she would let go
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: of his hand and run to me. She was always
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: really excited to see me, unless she wasn't feeling well.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Then sometimes she would be a little bit more calm
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and nonchalant, but she was still always very excited to
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: be reunited. With me.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Had there been any issues? I know she's only two
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: years old. I'm not sure how much she could communicate
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: with you. Were there any issues with her going to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: her dad's not that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: She told me. The only ones I'd seen were the
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: little interactions we had when I handed her off, when
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: she would kick and scream and cry and fight or
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: ask for me when going with him or a family
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: member of his.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Do you know why she did that?
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know, no, but I know it broke my
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: heart every time.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Miss Harmon again, I want to thank you for being
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: with us. And I'm just imagining if I had to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: give my twins over and be away from them for
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: five days than two days in five days in two days,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that in itself would be hell for me to be
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: away from them, much less when they cry and literally
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: kick and scream when they're taken away from me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I don't how do you do that? I mean, how
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: do you keep going?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I just keep her and all of my thoughts, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I just know that she's too little to understand, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: that it's important for her to see both parents. That's
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: what the courts agreed. He's staying with that and just
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: hoping and praying that even if she's upset in that moment,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: that she calms down and she enjoys her time with
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: her father. That in and of itself has been really,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: really hard.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Like you were saying, when did the girlfriend get in
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the picture, I.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Don't know the exact date they got together. I know
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I first heard about it about ten or some months ago.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now wait a minute, wait minute. How long have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you guys been separated?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Since January of twenty twenty three?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, January to January. That's not that long.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So was your husband seeing this woman Nadia Coal.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Before you guys divorced?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: We were never married. Okay, I'm not certain if he
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: was seeing her beforehand or not. I don't know that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, And you're right, You're right, You're right, Miss Harmon.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That's neither here nor there. Did you ever meet this
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: woman Nadia Coal?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: No, not officially.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: What did you know about her? Did your daughter? Did so?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I ever tell you about her? Anything about her?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So I didn't know about her name until the day
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I discovered my daughter was missing. But in hindsight, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: do recall my daughter's saying you missed Nada, which I
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: can only assume meant Nadia.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So your daughter liked Nadia as far as I know, Yes, Okay, wait.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: A minute, what is that hold on?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Lauren Colin joining me in addition to Soriah's mother, Lauren Colin?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Who is he and who is she?
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Aaron is Soria's father and Nadia Cole is his girlfriend
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: who just graduated from the University of Washington.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: How I'm looking at her. She's gorgeous and I'm very curious.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Do we have any idea anything about her other than
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: she graduated.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: She lived at Pullman right, Yes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: She lived in Pullman and she lived in the beautiful
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: college town. And as Samara said, she had been dating
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Aaron for the last ten months.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And as of right now, that is all we know.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's all I need to know right now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Joining me an all star panel to make sense of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: what we know right now. But I want to tell
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: samoraw this is Sarya's mother. Back to the moment that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: she gets a ride to the police station she typically
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: does to pick up her daughter. Okay, tell me what
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: happened at the police station.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: So I had been asked if I had been in
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: contact with the Moscow Police Department earlier that day, to
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: which I responded yes, which in that previous conversation they
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: just said they were searching for Aaron in regards to
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Naudia Cole. In the police station, I was then informed
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: that Nadia was missing, as well as my daughter and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: her father.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: What went through your mind when you heard that, Samorrow?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I was trying to process everything because it was a
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: lot of information to dump with thirty seconds to just
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: kind of let me know that not only is his
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: new girlfriend, who I've never met before, missing, but my
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: daughter is. I just I fell apart.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Did you have any idea where she was or what
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: had happened?
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: They had told me they believed that she went on
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: a camping trip with her dad to Montana, and that's
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: still in and of it. Stiff made no sense to me.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I knew I had no idea where she was. I
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: knew nothing about where she was or how she was
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: doing anything about that, and they didn't have really any
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: information to answer any questions I had.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Guys, what exactly happened around the time Soriah disappears.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Listen aaron ONGs fiance Nadia Cole sets out to join
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: her family for a plan trip to Italy. Celebrating her
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: recent graduation from Washington State University, on stays behind to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: pick up his daughter Sireya from Pullman for their week together.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: The Cole family makes it to their gate at Seattle
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: SeaTac Airport and Nadia leaves her luggage with them while
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: she runs to the restroom. She never returns. Just after
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: three pm, surveillance video shows Cole hastily leaving the airport
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and getting on a light rail train to downtown Seattle,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: appearing distressed.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So Lauren Ellen, who spots Sorayah with the dad looking
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: for maps and buying camping gear.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: To my knowledge, this was seen on camera and at
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: this point again, Lady Samara said she was very confused
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: because this was never planned and Montana is pretty far
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: away here from from Pullman and from from Idaho, so
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: this was very.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Confusing to doctor Angela Arnold joining us renowned psychiatrists out
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of the Atlanta jurisdiction. You can find her at Angela
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Arnold MD dot com. Doctor Angie, thank you for being
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: with us. I mean, when we say domestic issues, it
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: sounds so warm and cozy, like a Hallmark movie. Domestic
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: is anything, but the reality is that when children are
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: kidnapped or harmed, it's usually by someone that knows them
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and is related to them. Right now, we have no
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: idea where this two year old girl is, no idea
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: where she really is. All of this plotting and planning
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and scheming and gnashing of teeth and twisting of tails
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: was done without mommy knowing a thing. You think mommy
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: knows Daddy was out getting camping gear and maps of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Montana hgln Oh, no idea.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: She's sitting there on her little bench at.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The police station waiting for Sarria come running through the door,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and nothing happens. And the next thing she finds out
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Daddy's buying camping gear.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, how does it go so sideways?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And the thought that this girlfriend, the mistress, is part
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: of the plan.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Uh uh.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to get my mits on the to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: why does it go so sideways? Doctor Angie, Well, there's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: so many questions here that are unanswered, Nancy, and I'm
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: sitting here.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Wondering what were they plotting. I do believe the little
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: girl is in danger.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: What was this man like, what was the biological father
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: like before any of this happened? And are what is
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: their intention with this little girl. I of course I'm
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: thinking the worst. I'm thinking the absolute worst. This man
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: has no boundaries. Why do they have to constantly meet
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: at a police station to exchange the child? So there
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: has to be some level of concern there from the
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: attorney's point of view, that they have to meet at.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: A police station. I am so concerned about this little.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: Girl and actually his girlfriend, and I would love to
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: know more about who the biological father is. I could
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: hear more about who he is and what the mother
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: knows about him.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: I think that that could be very helpful to us.
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: Natia Cole is reported missing to Porto, Seattle police. Cole
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: is five foot nine inches tall, weighs about one hundred
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: and thirty pounds, has long blonde hair and green eyes.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: She was last seen wearing a green hoodie, black yoga pants,
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: and white converse sneakers, carrying a black North faced jacket
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: and a tan purse. Cole's family has hired a private investigator,
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: and there is one thousand dollars reward for information leading
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: to Nadia Cole's safe return home. Anyone with information is
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: asked to call eight seven seven two two zero eight
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: one two nine.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Where is two year old Sorayah. We now learn there's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a possibility she's out what backpacking out in the Montana forest?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Or is she in Mexico? Uh?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Is she on a flight? Have we been bamboozled? Is
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: she somewhere completely different? The other shows up.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Now imagine this. It's hard for me.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: To imagine, because I can't even imagine being away from
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: my twins.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The mom has her five.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Days in two days and five days in two days.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: She's a split custody with dad. She has to do
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the drop off at a police station. Why I need
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to know that? Why a police station? Why can't Daddy
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: just drop her off at the front door. Well, anyway,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the mom's sitting at the police station, waiting, waiting, tick talk,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: tick talk, no idea anything is wrong. When a cop
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: comes out and says she's missing. I can imagine the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: mother's whole world just imploding at that moment. She's missing
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: with me, it's Saraya's mother or Samara Harmon, Miss Harmon?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: What went through your mind and your body when you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: heard your daughter's.
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: Miss It was like being told every nightmare I've ever had,
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: all of my worst fears, everything evil and terrible about.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: The world was just being thrown at me that my daughter,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: my whole world, everything was nowhere to be seen and
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: completely unaccounted for. I felt that in every inch of
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: my body, every fiber of my being, wanted to scream
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: out to find her.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: What did you say? What did you do?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I immediately fell apart. I was trying to be able
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: to be understood by the officers. I was trying to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: breathe and kind of talk. I just kept asking where
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: are they? When I was informed that they could be
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: on a camping trip to Montana? I started asking why?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Why Montana? Why wasn't I told? Why is this the
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: first time hearing about this? Just every question I could
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: think of, even whether they made sense in that moment
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: or not, I just wanted I just wanted to know
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: where she was. I wanted to know every bit of
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: information they had miss Harmon.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I'm having questions about why you had to go to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: a police station to do the swap off with your husband.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Why couldn't he just drop Soraya at your front door.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I had wanted as to do it in a public
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: place for my own feelings of uncertainty and discomfort. So
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: he decided that the police station would be the best bet.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: There had been times I'd asked him a bit closer
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: to a hotel that was nearby that still had video
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: surveillance and witnesses around, and he only did that one time.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Every other time I had to either find a way
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: to get her to the police station or walk her
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: the thirty minutes to get her there.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, you had to walk your two year old daughter
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes for drop off.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: And pick up more times than not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, does your husband have a car?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Yes? He has multiple and he's not my husband.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Who wha wait?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, I'm sorry he has multiple cars? Is that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: what you said?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Did he ever explain why he couldn't meet you closer
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: to your home?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: He said it was a breach in the parenting plan
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and that if I wanted to change the drop offer
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: pickup location to contact his lawyer. When I did that,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: his lawyer said he no longer represented him and it
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: was between us to figure out.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Joining me right now, a high profoil lawyer out of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: this jurisdiction, Tara Malick is joining us, a name partner
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: in Smith and Malick, a former state and federal prosecutor.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Tara, thank you for being with us.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That is completely bass aftwards. Why is the mother being
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: put out in this way? I mean, I got bigger
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: fish to fry right now, Tara. About mainly where is Sarayah?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It's not a far jump afar leap. A logic to
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: be concerned about Soriah's will be if he would make
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Soriah walk along the side of streets and roads thirty
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: minutes to get to drop off pick up, what else
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: would he do with multiple vehicles?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, Tara, how is this okay?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: It's not okay, It's absolutely not okay.
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: You know, the custody agreements that talk about the exchange
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: of children have certain conditions in them. That doesn't mean
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: that the parents can't come up with an alternative if
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: it makes sense for the situation, which is what you're
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: talking about here. Why is this little girl having to
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: walk with her mom down a street for thirty minutes
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: and put themselves in danger. We've all heard about that
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: accidents and cars going off roads. There's really no reason
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: for this at all. And then to say talk to
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: my lawyer, but your lawyer no longer represents you just
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: seems like a control technique and a cop out.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Talk to a lawyer.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: You know, Jason Jensen is joining US private investigator and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: cold case expert, co founder of the Cold Case Coaliction,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: but you can find them at Jensen Private Investigations.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Jason, thank you for being with.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Us about how many of your cases deal with a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: parent taking off with a child.
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: You know, it's really quite rare, Nancy. The situation that
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: we're seeing here happens so infrequently. But this is why
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: we have legal provisions out there that are tent amount
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: of kidnapping that when there is interference like this of
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: a custody provision, they can be charged criminally because there
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: have been examples where a parent will defy a court
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: order and leave the jurisdiction because they don't want to
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: follow the court orders.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that does happen? How often does that happen?
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: I see one in ten thousand and maybe.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I find that really really hard to believe. To Tara Malik,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: you know, it seemed to me that domestic disputes often
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: erupt and the child is used as a weapon.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: How often have you seen that, Tara.
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: I've seen it really frequently that the child is used
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: as kind of a pawn in between the two parents.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: Oftentimes you'll see in really acrimonious back and forth and
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: fights between the parents that it'll be all sorts of allegations,
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: including allegations that one parent or the other it is
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: sexually abusing the child or abusing the child generally, and
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: so the situation can get really heated, and at the
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: end of the day, it's this poor innocent child who's
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: stuck in the middle of these huge fights that sometimes
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: spill over into courts or sometimes spill into situations like this.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: June third, so Maara Harmon drives through the exchange location
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: to pick up daughter Soirea from her father, Aaron Ong.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: When Ong hasn't arrived thirty minutes later, Harmon starts to
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: worry Ang isn't answering your calls or text. Harmon reaches
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: out to Ong's parents, who form her that Ong planned
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: to take sarap camping at Flathead Lake, Montana for the week.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Harmon discovers Ang's fiance is also unaccounted for and immediately
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: reports her daughter missing.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Grace Nadia Cole is reported missing to Porto Seattle police.
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: Cole is five foot nine inches tall, weighs about one
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: hundred and thirty pounds, has long blonde hair and green eyes.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: She was last seen wearing a green hoodie, black yoga pants,
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: and white converse sneakers, carrying a black North faced jacket
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: and a tan purse. Cole's family has hired a private
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: investigator and there is one thousand dollars reward for information
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: leading to Nadia Cole's safe return home. Anyone with information
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: is asked to call eight seven seven two two zero
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: eight one two nine.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: By to Lauren Collin, joining US investigative journalist, a host
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of The Outlier, Lauren, I'm a little confused.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Does somebody actually think.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Nadia Cole went with the bio dad against her will?
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, her parents absolutely believe that, but authorities stepped in
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: and they were like, well, it looks like she's leaving
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: the airport, not under any type of dress. And just
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: going back to what we know about Nadia. Her instagram
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: is interesting because as a twenty one year old, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: tend to see a lot more photos, you tend to
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: see a lot more.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Activity on the quote stories.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: With Nadia Coles, you really don't see much of anything.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: You only really see one.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Picture of her and Errand so she's kind of a
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: mystery here, but that is correct.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: She left the airport let.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Her luggage, and her parents believe she is missing and
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: could possibly be in danger, so she the dad.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: The dad spotted there buying maps, buying camping equipment, when
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: is he spotted next Lauren.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: So he technically has not been spotted. There was a
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Cadillac STX with an Idaho license plate on its way
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: to Mexico at the border and Nadio's car and Aaron's
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: vehicle state in Pullman. There have been reports that this
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: vehicle might be tied to Aaron's father, but that is
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: not yet confirmed. It is just tied to a quote
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: family member.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Guys, take a listen to this.
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: Pullman, Washington police are asking for help locating two year
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: old Sorea onng Harmon. Siria is last seen at a
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: six thirty PM custody exchange with her father on May
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: twenty ninth. Aaron Ong is set to return Sorea on
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: June third, but he does not appear at the schedule
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: drop off. There is now an active warrant for Ang's
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: arrest for first de Greek custodial interference. On is five
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: foot nine, one hundred and thirty five pounds with black
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information is asked to
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: call Pullman PD at five oh nine three three four
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: zero eight zero two.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Lauren Colin, do you believe that the sidings in and
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: around the airport were an attempt to throw everyone off?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that's interesting.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: It's possible if Nadia is as calculated as Aaron, then
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: absolutely if she actually were to trick her parents into
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: think that she's going to go on this family trip
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: to Italy and then she really has this ulterior motive
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: of leaving the country with Aaron and you know, little Soirea,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: I mean that's very calculated. I could absolutely see that happening.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Now, tell me about the trip to Italy. This was
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: just a family trip.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I assume it was to celebrate her graduation because she
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: did just graduate from the University of Washington at Pullman,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: So I just assumed it was her her family celebrating
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: and taking her away.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to Samara Harmon joining us.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: This is Soirea's mother, Samara. I know that you're the bio.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Dad was spotted buying maps and camping equipment. Did you
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: ever know him to be an outdoorsman.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: No, when I knew him, he was not. He was
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: more of a germophobe and would rather stay inside than
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: go out. I tried to get him engaged in fishing,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: It's an activity I like to do, but he never
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: really took any interest in it. So when I knew him, no,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: it was not something it was known to do. It
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: was not something I'd heard him even show any interest in.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: When you said germaphobe, why do you say that? What
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: makes you think the bio dad is a germaphobe?
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: He needed everything to be super neat and tidy. He
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: was the kind of person that when he wasn't out
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: doing something for a job, if he got his hands dirty,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: he'd have to wash them. Even if he pet his
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: dog or went outside taking Serraya to the park with us,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: he'd need to go and immediately wash his hands. He
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: always kept handed sanitizer. He had told me himself he
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: was a German.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Okay to you, doctor Angie, what is that?
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: Well, it shows that he needs a lot of control
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: around him. He probably has other symptoms of obsessive compulsive
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: disorder because of and that is all nancy for him
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: to have control of whatever is going that he can't
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: control of what's going.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: On through his own head.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Okay, it's a form of anxiety, but it has a
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: lot to do with his.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Need for control.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Back to you, Samara, why did you believe that he
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: originally had planned to go on this camping trip, which
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is totally uncharacteristic in Montana, the backwoods of Montana.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Did you have contact with his family? His parents, for instance.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: The only contact we had was when I let them
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: know about my daughter's medical condition at that point, and
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: they were very brief and with their responses. They did
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: not inform me he was going on any trip. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: was not known or aware until they told me she
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: had not made it at home.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I thought that they told you he took her fishing
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: at Flathead Lake, Montana for the week.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: The police were the ones who told me that, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: his parents showed up to the police station with a
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: handwritten note that stated that. But I never heard from
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: them specifically before she was reported missing or anything, not
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: even after.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me understand what you just said. You said
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: his parents, the all parents show up with a handwritten note.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: What handwritten note? That he was going to Montana Flathead
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Lake for a week.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: They showed up to the police station maybe two to
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: five minutes after I was informed my daughter and Aaron
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: were missing, with a handwritten note that stated they went
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: to Montana for a camping slash fishing trip and they
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: may be delayed due to whether supply issues or someone's
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: brained and ankle.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of bs to me.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Someone's brain an ankle, weather problems, supply problem supply of
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: what Jason Jenson, private investigator, Why did they bring a
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: handwritten note saying he went camping in Montana where we
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: are and we all know now he's not in Montana.
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: One of the concerns that I have in enlighted this
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: revelation it was Sirea injured in some capacity and now
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: that this is consciousness of guilt to flee the country
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: or are they fleeing with Saya because there was a
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: complete disregard for the maternal role of the mother being
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: involved in raising this child.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: But to you, Lauren Colin, I want to make sure
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I understand these facts. This woman, the mistress Naughtia Cole,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: just graduated Washington State, Okay, she planned to take the
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: l SAT and go to law school. That's my understanding
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: about her. She works with her for over a year
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to plan a trip to Italy.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And then she spotted at the SeaTac.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Airport with family. Her family to catch that flight to Italy,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: May twenty nine.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They all make it to the gate.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: She leaves her luggage with them, says she's got to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, and then she just leaves and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: she spotted there she is.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: She spotted leaving the airport at three pm.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: We know that the mistress boores a light rel train
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to downtown Seattle, looking distressed.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't know how they can tell. She looks
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: distressed in that picture.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: But if I left my whole family at the gate
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: with my luggage, I would be distressed too. She gets
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: off the train near University Avenue, downtown Seattle. That's the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: four and a half hour drive to Pullman. Now, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: believe that she then rendezvous with the bio Dad and
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: they leave with Surah. That's what I think happened. We
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: also know her car.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Is unaccounted for. Aang's car is unaccounted for.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And we think we know that they were in the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen black Cadillac Ido Tag one L Love five
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: one four seven Utah. What can you tell me about
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: what I have just recited that I'm learning from police.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: This all is correct as of right now, as of today,
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: and as you stated, it's very confusing that they believe
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: she was.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: In duress or she was under duress when she left,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: because you can't tell.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: There also has been reports that she left her cell
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: phone there, which makes me believe that again, this was planned.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: She knew what she was going to do and she
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: didn't want anyone to find her or anyone to pay
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: her phone.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you this much, Tara Malik, It'll
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: be a cold day and hublel this woman gets into
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: law school. If she's part of the custodial interference in
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: taking this child away from her mother, that's not happening.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: If I have to see to it myself, you are
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: not going to be an officer of the court after
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: you have taken part in this if in fact she
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: did no way.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're exactly right.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: These are extraordinary circumstances.
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: And to be an attorney, as you know, Nancy, you
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: have to go through a character and fitness portion of
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: the application. So if you've got something like this on
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: your record, if she did in fact do this, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: she planned it, and she planned to interfere with this
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: child's mother's custodial rights.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I would think that.
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: That certainly would not pass any sort of character in
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: fitness analysis.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, no way, crime stories with Nancy Grace, Doctor Angie Arnold.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: This is not like somebody shoplifting when they're fifteen years
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: old and stealing some Maybelline mascaro at the walgreen. That's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: not what we're talking about. This is custodial interference. And
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: that is certainly an euphemism putting the perfume on the pit.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Custodial interference. That doesn't even sound that bad. Did you
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: see the mother? Did you hear her say what went
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: through her mind and body when she finds out her
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: daughter Soraya is gone?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Her whole life is a child.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: And Montana fishing camping bs. And this girl, doctor Angie,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: this girl just as bad. She leaves her whole family
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: waiting to get on a plane to Italy, her whole family,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: her mother, her father, the whole kitten koboodle with her luggage.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: And she takes off to me this no good bio dad.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Right, and for what purpose? I mean, Nancy, what kind
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: of hole? Does this kid have over these people?
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand it. And I'll tell you something, Nancy.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: This is just the.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Beginning of this story.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: There is so much more that has to be dug
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: under to find out what's really going on. I am
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: very worried about the little girl and where she is.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: I can't even imagine how long these two have been
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: planning this.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait, doctor Angie, this
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: is my fear. Okay, yes, just what you said.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Because if the father has put the mom through all this,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the bio dad, if he's put the mom through all
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: of this, he convinces this twenty one year old law
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: school want lawyer want to be to take off with him.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Do we think now Mexico? If he will do all
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: this a commit a felony, then what else will he do?
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: What will he do?
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: Exactly?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Authorities begins Harley's in on him and the search for
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: that child. Will it be along the lines.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Of if I can't have her, nobody's gonna have her.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Aaron Ong five to nine, one hundred and thirty five pounds,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: black hair, brown eyes, if he will take this child
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: kidnap Soria to Mexico after this elaborate plan, faking out
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: his own parents, faking out the mistress's.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Family, what else will he do?
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Mom Samara Harmon is extremely concerned for sorey as well being.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: After a serious doctor's visit the week before her disappearance,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: the two year old is extremely sick, and doctors Warren
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Harmon that Sirea could easily become septic. Harmon provided On
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: with prescribed medication for Sorea, but has no idea if
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: she's been taking it. Harmon says Ong has withheld Soreya before,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: but never for this long, nor a cross state lines.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: We've got a big, big problem.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: In addition to us now all believing that Siria has
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: been kidnapped to Mexico, which is a whole another can
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: of worms. It's one thing, if she's in Montana, it's
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a whole another search technique trying to find her and
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: bring her home from Mexico. But now, to top it
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: all off, we find out Sara has a condition, they
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: can quickly put her into sepsis.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I sadly know way too much about sepsis.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Doctor Angie Arnold, you die, You can die from sepsis,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: very very easily explain.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: Well, Nancy, sepsis means that you're that all of your
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: organs get infected. Okay, So they I wonder if something's
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: if she if they've determined that she has some sort
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: of problem with her kidneys at this young age, and
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: so they've got her, They've got.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Her on some sort of medication.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: To help whatever organ is debilitated in a way that
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: if something happens, her whole body could become septic.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, But Nancy, think of everything that that means. That
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: means that he has to be giving her.
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: Water appropriately and feeding her appropriately, as well as giving
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: her the medication that has been prescribed. So if this
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: little girl does become septic, septocemia is something that can
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: kill you within hours two days, Okay. So we're also
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: assuming that he would be able to recognize the signs
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: of septocemia and get her to a proper hospital situation
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: where she could be taken care of appropriately.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Wherever she is. Okay. So, yes, this is a this
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: is a very dire situation.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, Doctor Angie.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I know you and I have talked about this before,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: but my brother in law was in the hospital being
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: ived with all sorts of antibiotics, everything you can imagine,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: and passed.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Away with sepsis. Okay, yes, I.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Mean even in a hospital setting, much less on the
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: run in the back of a black Cadillac in Mexico.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay, let me understand right now, guys. The
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: very latest is that the FBI is now working with
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: local police trying to find Soria. Back to Soria's mom,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Samara Harmon, what are cops telling you about Mexico as
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a possibility?
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: They just said that they had seen the vehicles registered
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: to the family crossing the border. They have informed me
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: that well, specifically, the FBI has informed me that even
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: with this fighting, they are still searching everywhere. They are
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: leaving no stone unturned. They aren't completely sold on any theory.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: They're following the evidence and it hasn't made them one
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: percent believe in one reaction or not. But they are
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: searching high and low across the globe for my daughter.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: The FBI plus Moscow police are now helping Pullman police
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: find this girl.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Why because her life is in danger. Not only is
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: she with a bio dad who is willing to do
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: anything to hurt.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: The mother to get the child, she has a very
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: serious life threatening issue with the possibility of sept semia
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: hanging over her head at just two years old.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when Mommy talked about how she would
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: kick and.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Scream when she had to go with daddy, how she
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: would run to mommy at the trade off every five days,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: run to mommy, And now she's last seen and a
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: black catillite crossing the Mexican border or MS harmon. You
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: stated that you were the one that wanted a public
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: pickup drop off swap.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: For your own safety?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Why because of the situations that he'd said, the stated
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: things in a way that would manipulate me or kind
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: of make me think one way when he meanted another
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: times when he would kind of try to weaponize her.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: And I wanted video surveillance of every poot, like every
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: time she'd been dropped off, every time I had handed
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: her over, so he couldn't try and claim something that
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I knew to be false.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Like when you say things he had said, may do
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you want to do to swap off in public?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: What things did he say what concerns you the most?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Just he knew exactly how to get to me. He
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: knew what to say to scare me and make me
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: think one thing over another. He knew me very well,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: and I didn't want to be in a situation.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Where what explain to me? What did he say to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: make you afraid?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of things he'd said throughout our
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: relationship about how he had connections so I'd never get
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: to see her again. And he would bring things up
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: like that all the time to try and use them
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: against me and make me not want to say anything
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: about our relationship or any of my fears or concerns.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: He actually told you he could fix it with his
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: quote connections, that you would never see Soria again.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: He said that to you, Yes, and I've had people
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: witness this. This was when we were still in our relationship,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: So this was well over a year ago, but it
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: was something I still very much feared every day.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Police initially speculate that Nadia Cole is traveling in an
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: unknown vehicle with Aaron Ong and his daughter Sarria Ong Harmon.
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: They now believe that the couple is driving a twenty
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: fourteen Cadillac XTS with Idaho license plate one L five
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: one four seven. U Ong's camping gear in Montana. Map
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: book purchases led Pullman PD to believe that's where Ang
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: was heading, but authorities now say Ong is in Mexico
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: with his fiance and daughter. Authorities remain tight lift about
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: the investigation, but we do know the FBI is.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Assisting local police.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Samara, what are police telling you about FBI Pullman, Moscow
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: police efforts to find your daughter in Mexico?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: What are they doing?
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: They? Like I said, they're leaving no rock unturned. They
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: can't afford to make any theories at the moment, so
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: they are following the evidence. They are searching high and
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: low across the globe, not in just one singular area.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: They have spread out agents far and wide, searching every
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: nook and cranny to find her.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: How close is the biodad to his parents?
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: From what I witnessed, they were very close. When I
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: lived with him, we would frequently go over to his parents'
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: house for dinner, or go out to dinner with them,
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: or even have them over to our apartment to eat dinner.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: I know that he worked for his dad's business, so
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: they were in contact every day, multiple times a day,
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: and he was the kind of guy. When something went
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: wrong or he was upset or even felt sick, he
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: called his mom. They were all very close.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: If you want to find this little girl, hear me FBI,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Pullman and Moscow. If you want to find this girl,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: find the bio dad. If you want to find the
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: bio dad, go to his parents' wiretap phone tap intercept messages.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: That's how you can find this little girl. And every
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: minute counts for so many reasons. If you know or
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: think you know anything about missing Sorea, call eight hundred
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: two two five five three two four, repeat toll free
• 42:56
