Speaker 1: Hi, are you good?
0:10
Speaker 2: How are you?
0:11
Speaker 3: If you?
0:14
Speaker 4: Police are speaking with Manuel Gian Living inside his trailer
0:19
are his son Manny and his girlfriend Brianna. They've been
0:22
hiding a horrifying secret from their families that this detective
0:26
is about to uncover.
0:28
Speaker 2: Hey, Mannie, Hey Brianna.
0:30
Speaker 5: You guys know I am here trying to talk to
0:32
you guys.
0:36
Speaker 4: A year ago, the couple killed their daughter, buried her
0:40
body in the woods near their trailer, and continued living
0:43
as if nothing happened. Over time, Brihanna's family began to
0:47
grow suspicious, tipping off police that something is seriously wrong.
0:52
By the time investigators catch on to the lies, both
0:55
killers would walk free, leaving their families and detectives to
1:00
confront one of the darkest and most tragic discoveries of
1:03
their lives.
1:05
Speaker 2: State killed her.
1:06
Speaker 6: I only did, and I know you've been nine to us.
1:09
Speaker 7: Tell us from that right there?
1:11
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you.
1:21
Speaker 7: Oh that's the Feld.
1:23
Speaker 4: This is the home of Aurelia and Manuel Senior, the
1:27
parents of many Gillenne. Police believe Manny is connected to
1:31
a missing child investigation. Two days ago, Eddie County deputies
1:35
received a troubling call from relatives of Manny's girlfriend, twenty
1:39
four year old Brianna Stallings reporting something concerning about her daughter.
1:43
Speaker 9: We were concerned about my cousin. Her name is Brandon
1:47
Pali and we've never seen her.
1:50
Speaker 3: With her baby anymore.
1:51
Speaker 9: If you've blocked us all on social media and everything
1:54
with a guy named Manny many Gian.
1:57
Speaker 4: Brianna's cousin would go on to explain that the family
2:00
hasn't seen Breonna's daughter in nearly a year, and that
2:03
one of the last places the child was seen alive
2:06
is right here at the residence of Manny's parents. These
2:10
officers are here simply to conduct a welfare check. Unknowingly,
2:14
they are moments away from stepping into one of the
2:17
most disturbing murder investigations of their careers.
2:24
Speaker 10: Cassie, all right, how are you sir? Nice to meet you, Manuel,
2:39
Is anyone else here?
2:43
Speaker 1: Can we go talk over here?
2:45
Speaker 2: Okay?
2:46
Speaker 11: Them quick?
2:48
Speaker 1: Do you know it?
2:51
Speaker 12: Well?
2:52
Speaker 13: What are you here already? Yes? Anyway, when I know
2:57
she will be my child because one day they appeared
3:00
over there. He had a problem.
3:02
Speaker 1: She didn't here.
3:04
Speaker 13: They they get up here, but she's prayer.
3:08
Speaker 14: She did you know if the baby had been born?
3:10
Did you ever see the baby.
3:13
Speaker 13: And they've open now. They were together, they were too
3:17
and uh.
3:20
Speaker 4: According to Manny's father, Brianna appeared estranged from her own family.
3:25
She didn't seem to have anyone looking out for her,
3:27
and slowly began leaning on Manny and his parents as
3:31
she went through her pregnancy. On the surface, Manny's father
3:35
seems unaware that anything might be wrong with Brianna's daughter,
3:39
but officers are about to learn he may know far
3:42
more about the missing child than he realizes.
3:45
Speaker 1: So when when she had the baby, where were they living?
3:48
Speaker 5: Oh?
3:48
Speaker 13: There, they had a baby. They mean maybe no, maybe
3:51
maybe a week two weeks over there and they won't
3:54
talk around.
3:55
Speaker 1: So right after they had to maybe they lived with
3:57
you for a little bit.
4:02
Speaker 13: And then they were going up. What they were saying,
4:07
I respect her, I knew were very bad. He urt you, Yeah,
4:11
I limahar.
4:15
Speaker 4: Through the language barrier, officers are able to piece together
4:19
more of the story. Manny's father goes on to explain
4:22
that his son served in the Marines and that he
4:24
believed many cared deeply for Brianna's daughter and took good
4:28
care of her. He also says that he tried to
4:30
help the couple, allowing them to stay with him, offering
4:33
support and showing sympathy for Brianna's situation after she became
4:37
estranged from her own family. However, he also admits the
4:41
couple were unstable. They would stay for a while then
4:46
disappear again. At the time, Manny's father believed he was
4:49
doing the right thing, helping a struggling couple get back
4:52
on their feet, but he has no idea that this
4:55
will become the biggest regret of his life. Before leaving
5:01
the place, officers also speak briefly with Manny's mother, who'd
5:05
have some concerning statements about the couple.
5:08
Speaker 10: So Manuel and Brianna never lived there when you were
5:12
there with the baby.
5:25
Speaker 4: Manny's mother would speak to officers in Spanish. She tells
5:28
them that every time she asked Brianna and Manny about
5:30
their daughter, the couple told her the child was with
5:33
a family member, but she leaves out several concerning details
5:37
about what was really going on in Manny's life, details
5:40
officers will soon uncover on their own. For now, police
5:45
leave the residents with more questions than answers. They still
5:48
don't know where Brianna and Manny are, and they still
5:51
have no idea where their daughter might be, But just
5:53
as they prepare to leave, Manny's brother pulls up to
5:56
the house. Detectives quickly approached to speak with him. Where
5:59
they'll get there her first real lead on where Brianna's
6:02
daughter might be.
6:03
Speaker 15: Your mom is a cool lady. I completely forgot about Susan.
6:07
Speaker 5: I'm a detective Johnson.
6:08
Speaker 3: Man that's to meet you.
6:10
Speaker 2: Hey, so we're just we just talked to your mom.
6:11
Speaker 3: Somebody's in trouble.
6:12
Speaker 16: Yeah, but see, I have no idea why the family
6:15
contact you guys.
6:16
Speaker 15: I to o her to call me if she had
6:18
any questions that I would give her any information that
6:20
I had, And I did.
6:21
Speaker 2: That, called him her family member, her aunt.
6:25
Speaker 15: Okay, I got the messages right here.
6:26
Speaker 5: And have you talked to Brianna or Emanuel and all or.
6:30
Speaker 15: I talked to Brianna maybe a couple of weeks ago.
6:36
Speaker 5: Okay, have you seen her? Did she have her baby
6:39
with her?
6:40
Speaker 15: I have not seen the baby since it's been a
6:42
couple of months, or like three maybe work I was
6:45
one or two. I was like, I haven't seen her
6:48
in a while. The show Okay told me that one
6:51
of her answers taking care.
6:52
Speaker 4: Of her and got Though Many's brother reassures officers that
6:56
the couple's child is with one of Brionna's aunts, he
6:59
admits he hasn't I've seen her daughter in months and
7:01
doesn't sound fully convinced by Brianna's story. Following this, detectives
7:06
begin contacting Brianna's family one by one. Every one of
7:10
her aunts tell the same thing. They do not have
7:13
her daughter. One of Brianna's aunts, Ruby, insists detectives come
7:17
speak with her in person because she's seen and heard
7:20
troubling details about Brianna and Manny's relationship they need to
7:24
look into. When detectives arrive to speak with Ruby, they'll
7:27
quickly realize there's more to the story than a missing child.
7:33
Speaker 5: Hello are you Ruby, Yes, sir, I Detective Johnson.
7:37
Speaker 2: We spoke on the phone.
7:38
Speaker 10: Yes, Yes, come on in.
7:42
Speaker 2: If I come in, Yes, thank you.
7:44
Speaker 17: I know something's going on because when Brianna was pregnant,
7:48
she was here with me and she left. She I
7:51
raised brandcent aged six, and I spoke to her brother earlier.
7:55
I caught him on my lunch break, Brian and as
8:00
to pay.
8:00
Speaker 3: What's going on?
8:02
Speaker 18: I said, have you met your niece.
8:03
Speaker 1: Have you seen her?
8:05
Speaker 19: He says, Nokia haven't because when she have her baby
8:08
that day, she called me. Yeah, yeah, I went right
8:13
away and he kind of got mad. And why she's
8:16
with Red Yeah, because I was taking yes, and he
8:22
kind of got mad and he whispered in her ear
8:24
and he walked out of the book and unlikely, And
8:27
I said, he's mad.
8:28
Speaker 6: Half I tell Brianna, become mad.
8:30
Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't pay take you to you.
8:33
Speaker 4: What the detective is hearing now isn't just concerning, it's
8:37
deeply unsettling. It's the first time the relationship between Brianna
8:41
and Nannie begins to sound volatile and potentially dangerous. Ruby
8:46
doesn't know it yet, but her intuition is spot on,
8:50
and in just a matter of days she will be
8:52
told the most horrific truth imaginable about her grand niece.
8:57
For now, the detective leaves Ruby's home and heads back
9:00
to the station, knowing they need to move quickly and
9:02
locate Brianna and Manny. What Ruby shared was troubling, but
9:07
it's only the beginning, and far worse revelations are still
9:11
to come. Two days past, with no sign of the
9:15
couple or their child, then a call comes in from
9:19
a woman named Desiree, who identifies herself as Brianna's former roommate.
9:24
She's heard about the missing child and has important information
9:28
about Brianna's boyfriend, Manny, details his own family never shared
9:32
with police.
9:33
Speaker 9: The only reason that everything kind of worries me is
9:36
just she fell off and like she just don't talk
9:38
to nobody, and this kind of like happened, you know.
9:41
Speaker 1: Do you know why kind of disassociated herself from other people.
9:45
Speaker 9: Her and many were fighting so bad. He said he
9:48
didn't walk the baby. He has a son, and I'm
9:51
pretty sure that he had got that baby took it
9:53
away because he should out of the baby, and so
9:55
he doesn't have that sknmore. The mom has a kids. Brianna,
9:58
she lived with my mom for two years. She live
10:00
with me for a year and a half. I've always
10:02
been like trying to help her out and stepple when
10:04
she's pregnant. You know, he had said that he didn't
10:06
want to be with her, He didn't want the baby.
10:08
He doesn't want a kid. I play got word of
10:09
his other kid. So it kind of worries me on
10:12
that part, you know.
10:13
Speaker 4: Needless to say, Desiree's call paints a disturbing picture of
10:17
the couple. If Manny already lost custody of his own
10:21
child due to abuse, then there's every possibility that Brianna's
10:25
big daughter may have suffered the same fate. Together, the
10:29
pair comes across as volatile, irresponsible, and deeply unfit, a
10:34
dynamic that only adds more urgency for the detectives to
10:37
locate them and find the missing child. The next day,
10:41
as detectives begin mapping out their next steps, they finally
10:45
receive a tip on the couple's whereabouts. Brianna and many
10:48
are staying at a trailer belonging to Manny's father. Officers
10:52
immediately drive to the address, hoping to finally speak with
10:55
the couple directly and get their side of the story.
11:02
Police department several minutes past with no answer, Then the
11:08
officer knocks again. When Brehanna and Manny finally step out
11:11
of the trailer, it's clear they already know why the
11:14
police are here, and they have a story prepared.
11:17
Speaker 5: Hey, so, I'm Detective Johnson. By the way, Sorry, do
11:20
you guys know I am here trying to talk to
11:22
you guys?
11:23
Speaker 18: It's because I heard I guess my family.
11:29
Speaker 20: Been talking to this man, you know paper.
11:38
Speaker 5: That's that's why I'm involved as a detective, you know
11:41
what I mean, just because stuff like that I should
11:42
pass on to us.
11:44
Speaker 2: So where's your baby at right now?
11:46
Speaker 18: She's with your friend?
11:48
Speaker 5: Where is that?
11:49
Speaker 3: What is?
11:50
Speaker 21: And what is?
11:52
Speaker 18: Yeah?
11:54
Speaker 2: Who is your friend?
11:55
Speaker 21: And what is?
11:57
Speaker 5: If you don't mind, I'm just gonna talk to you
11:59
guys individually quick and then I'm gonna talk to both
12:01
of you quickly.
12:02
Speaker 2: Can you just hang out with him for a minute
12:04
and can I.
12:04
Speaker 10: Talk to you over here?
12:06
Speaker 5: So obviously I don't I don't know your your personal life.
12:10
Speaker 9: I don't know anybody to talk about.
12:12
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to get it all figured out.
12:13
Speaker 18: And that's upset. Yeah, I don't talk to them. I
12:18
don't know what they're annoying, and they're all in my lives.
12:22
Speaker 1: And that's one reason why I was because I used
12:25
to live with my aunt.
12:27
Speaker 6: She would put them for kill like like what like?
12:30
Speaker 18: She would always yell at me and seeing her speak
12:32
gating and I don't know what I'm doing business and
12:35
so lost, I.
12:37
Speaker 1: Don't like for knowing anything with what I meant, she
12:40
was experience and I looked for her twenty over the years,
12:43
seeing like all my business and when that's only the reason.
12:47
Speaker 2: Why I've black them is your friend? I mean, did
12:50
you take your baby down there? Yeah?
12:52
Speaker 18: You can see her because I'm glad you didn't want
12:54
to speak for her.
12:55
Speaker 5: So how'd you guys in the should win it happen
12:58
that happens.
13:03
Speaker 4: Brianna's explanation sounds reasonable. Her family constantly interferes in her
13:08
life and she doesn't want to deal with them. She
13:10
even speaks negatively about her aunt Ruby, claiming she was
13:13
never supportive of her. Nothing about Brianna's story immediately raises alarms,
13:18
so to verify the details, the officer moves on to
13:21
speak with many separately to cross check what Brianna has
13:25
already said. This is when a small discrepancy surfaces, one
13:29
that will mark the beginning of the couple's story falling apart.
13:34
Speaker 2: Hey man, so can you kind of just give me
13:37
a rundown? And everything going on all right?
13:39
Speaker 12: So as far as I know, like her family's been
13:41
trying to get it right of her, because I guess
13:43
they haven't been in touch one about how she's doing
13:46
and the baby's doing.
13:48
Speaker 11: And she spoke to a couple of family members.
13:50
Speaker 12: I think it was from aunt or brother or some show,
13:53
I said, because they messed her and she told him
13:55
to like yeah, I'm like we're doing okay, Like you
13:58
guys don't got to worry about that vide And then
14:00
they're like okay, well just wanted to make sure it
14:02
was okay. And then after that then they started by
14:06
My mom told me she's like, well, hey, there's detectives
14:09
here in my house, like trying to figure out because
14:11
you guys are missing or someh you guys haven't like
14:13
talked to the family or like be like what the fuck,
14:15
Like she's talked to her aunts or someone. She's like
14:18
a couple of family members and let him know like
14:20
everything was okay, and like they're still doing this ship.
14:23
Speaker 15: So yeah, so.
14:25
Speaker 2: The babies and waters, when did that happen?
14:28
Speaker 22: Roughly the day he or the month the beginning of
14:34
the year, like, angwhere in February do they give you
14:41
an address? Or like, how are you guys suposed to
14:43
get in contact.
14:43
Speaker 2: Or what's the plan? Is she going to go back
14:45
for a baby at some point?
14:46
Speaker 12: So as far as that years, like once we got
14:48
good and ship, we were gonna be I guess she
14:50
was gonna be hitting us out back then, That's right,
14:53
That's all, but all I know.
14:54
Speaker 4: So not only does Many give a completely different time
14:58
frame for when Brianna's daughter was given away, but he
15:00
also can't provide any basic details for the supposed friend
15:04
the child was given to. When the officer circles back
15:07
to Brianna with the same question, she can't answer it either,
15:11
and offers no way to verify that this friend even exists.
15:16
At this point, the officer's suspicion grows, and with the
15:20
inconsistencies piling up, he makes the call to detain the
15:23
couple and bring them to the station for further questioning.
15:27
Once at the station, Brianna and Many are placed into
15:30
separate interview rooms. They still don't know, their stories don't match,
15:34
and investigators intend to keep it that way. This is
15:37
the police's only chance to finally figure out what really
15:41
happened to Brianna's daughter and who's responsible. As for the couple,
15:45
one wrong answer could expose the horrifying secret they've been
15:49
hiding for months.
15:51
Speaker 2: And so, how did you get in contact with Marianne?
15:56
Speaker 10: What's happening?
15:57
Speaker 1: When did this happens.
16:00
Speaker 2: Think what you about two months ago?
16:02
Speaker 3: Now?
16:03
Speaker 5: Okay, do you remember the day?
16:05
Speaker 11: I don't remember.
16:06
Speaker 1: Do you have the messages on what's up?
16:07
Speaker 10: From Maria?
16:09
Speaker 11: Bene?
16:11
Speaker 10: Why?
16:12
Speaker 18: I can't remember remember either. It was like all kinds
16:14
of you know, what's happened to your one one something?
16:17
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't.
16:18
Speaker 11: I need to get in contact the check one.
16:20
Speaker 20: She told me she was gonna get up Facebook, and
16:23
it's like, Nate want and talk to me through I
16:26
initially don't.
16:27
Speaker 18: That's what she told me.
16:28
Speaker 11: You haven't talked to Maria.
16:31
Speaker 10: You haven't talked to me some stuff.
16:32
Speaker 2: So how do we just make sure colonies?
16:35
Speaker 11: Okay?
16:35
Speaker 10: Man?
16:36
Speaker 15: Because Brienna doesn't seem to know how how we can
16:39
just encure that colonia?
16:40
Speaker 11: Say, if you think about it, that's kind of disturbing
16:43
a little bit.
16:44
Speaker 1: But a mother maybe not a little.
16:46
Speaker 11: Bit more concerned about, you know, just helping us in.
16:48
Speaker 2: Cure that the child to say, as far as I.
16:50
Speaker 12: Know, I know sometimes she has posits with her phone
16:53
and she like kind of has a right time you
16:55
get paid, So maybe it's.
16:56
Speaker 11: Like she a part, hasn't your phone bill? Is that
16:58
anything I can say?
16:59
Speaker 12: It's probably just wait for she gets your boss.
17:04
Speaker 4: As expected, Brianna and Manny stick to their conflicting story,
17:08
but more importantly is that neither of them show any
17:12
concern for their daughter's well being, despite not seeing or
17:16
hearing anything from the supposed friend for weeks. What the
17:19
couple doesn't know yet is that detectives have already followed
17:23
up on the supposed friend Brianna mentioned and discovered that
17:27
no such person exists. By now, it's painfully obvious to
17:32
investigators that both Brianna and Manny are lying, so detectives
17:36
decide it's time to lay out what they believe really
17:39
happened to Brianna's big daughter and confront her directly.
17:43
Speaker 11: Man we need you this be truthful with us. A
17:45
lot of the stuff you said, is this not making
17:47
any sense?
17:48
Speaker 4: I mean it's kind of hard to wrap our minds
17:50
around the kind of the lack of concern you're showing.
17:54
Speaker 11: I mean, we just need the truth. We need to
17:57
make sure Claudie's okay. I mean, we get it. Step happens.
18:00
You know, people go through hard time. We understand that
18:03
something happened.
18:04
Speaker 6: Something let you go, whether or not codis ok or not.
18:08
Speaker 18: Something happened after this happened.
18:11
Speaker 11: You guys discussed this, I become.
18:13
Speaker 4: Up story talking about a person that we know nothing about,
18:19
with no croup.
18:20
Speaker 11: That read did.
18:23
Speaker 10: Happen?
18:24
Speaker 15: Your stakes?
18:24
Speaker 3: Happened?
18:25
Speaker 15: Really?
18:27
Speaker 18: What she knew?
18:27
Speaker 10: Right now?
18:29
Speaker 18: What matters?
18:32
Speaker 2: M mhm.
18:35
Speaker 8: Right.
18:36
Speaker 4: Brianna finally breaks and confesses to killing her daughter. After
18:41
this admission, she becomes visibly emotional, and for several minutes
18:45
the detectives are unable to get clear answers from her.
18:49
As they slowly pieced together her statements, a story begins
18:53
to form. Brianna claims she fell asleep on her daughter
18:57
while they were in the car, accidentally suffocating her. Panicked,
19:01
she and Manny buried her daughter's body in a remote
19:04
wooded area, where it has remained for nearly a year.
19:07
After the confession, detectives decide to give Brianna a few
19:11
minutes alone to collect herself and to reconsider the story
19:15
she's choosing to tell, because even now she's taking full
19:20
responsibility and insisting Manny had no part in what happened.
19:25
When detectives returned to the room, they know what they
19:28
need to do next. Convinced Brianna to be honest about
19:31
Manny's role and where her daughter's body is buried.
19:37
Speaker 7: Brianna, how are you?
19:39
Speaker 23: I'm Sergey run it.
19:42
Speaker 24: Doing?
19:42
Speaker 2: Okay?
19:43
Speaker 7: Miriams.
19:45
Speaker 11: We're getting anything you water or anything?
19:48
Speaker 5: Do you say it?
19:51
Speaker 18: So?
19:52
Speaker 7: We kind of didn't understanding of what's going on. Okay,
19:56
you're not in any kind of trouble right now.
19:59
Speaker 16: We want to do well we can to help you, okay,
20:02
with I guess you being willing to help us as well?
20:07
Speaker 7: Okay, would you be willing to drive up to Queen's
20:10
right now? All kind of shows where we need to go.
20:15
You're going to go with us?
20:17
Speaker 25: Yeah?
20:17
Speaker 7: And you're okay going with us? Yeah? How'd you get here? Manual?
20:24
Jan Would you be comfortable with Manual Belon?
20:28
Speaker 4: After agreeing to help detectives, Brianna seems to regain her composure,
20:33
speaking calmly and answering questions as if the weight of
20:37
her confession has already lifted. In the next room, Manny
20:41
has no idea his girlfriend just confessed and took all
20:45
the blame, but he's about to find out as detectives
20:49
prepared to drive both of them to the one place
20:51
they never wanted anyone to find you?
20:55
Speaker 10: Ready, okay?
21:17
Speaker 23: Sorry?
21:22
Speaker 4: As they prepare to leave, Brianna and many are reunited,
21:26
and it's clear Manny immediately realizes she's told officers the truth.
21:31
The couple and officers then drive out and hiked deep
21:35
into the woods to recover the body, a grim walk
21:38
that will lead to what can only be described as
21:42
a nightmare.
21:45
Speaker 3: Go ahead, pig your sailor, but.
22:05
Speaker 10: We're gonna get you, got it.
22:07
Speaker 23: They're gonna hear where the rocks at?
22:09
Speaker 7: Where the rockets. I'm sorry for you, Prett.
22:12
Speaker 8: The rocket thinks.
22:16
Speaker 7: Right there.
22:17
Speaker 23: Yeah, she's there, that one just sticking out there like
22:20
a big old timboom.
22:23
Speaker 18: With all those things.
22:25
Speaker 7: She's underneath the rock. Yeah, those rocks, they're welcome back.
22:32
Speaker 25: Yeah, A market it.
22:36
Speaker 7: Okay, So I don't want to keep you guys out
22:40
of loop just because you guys.
22:41
Speaker 11: Came down here showed us all this.
22:44
Speaker 7: But we're gonna do stuff the way we do handle it.
22:47
Speaker 1: And so what we're gonna do is we've got to
22:50
get a search one, of course, but we're gonna bring
22:52
out our other resources and we're gonna do this.
22:55
Speaker 18: The right way.
22:55
Speaker 11: Okay, we're gonna hold off, we're gonna secure this.
22:58
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a couple of bits accept some lead
23:00
a hold of.
23:01
Speaker 11: You guys, Well, we got to give them, we got
23:02
to take them back home.
23:03
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right.
23:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, sorry, I forgot about that.
23:07
Speaker 2: So it's not like we're just coming, marking and then leaving.
23:10
Speaker 7: So I'm like, just want to know that that's not
23:11
what we're doing. So it's going to be a long process. Okay,
23:16
you're one hundred percent certain that's the spot though?
23:18
Speaker 15: Yes, okay, am I, guys, I think we're goodn We've
23:24
been marketing along the way.
23:26
Speaker 4: By now, officers believe they've found the burial site, but
23:30
because it's already dark, they halt the search until the
23:33
following day. Before Breonna and Many are allowed to leave,
23:37
detectives instruct them to return at noon. For now, the
23:40
pair isn't being detained and are treated as two people
23:43
who may simply be caught in a tragic situation, at
23:47
least based on what they're admitting, a far cry from
23:50
the real truth behind their lies, a horrific truth that
23:54
police are just hours away from discovering. The next morning,
24:01
Brianna meets detectives near the search site, but strangely, Manny
24:05
doesn't join her. Instead, he waits inside a detective's car.
24:09
Refusing to return to the burial location, Brianna then leads
24:13
investigators back to the wooded area, with forensic experts following behind.
24:17
She's about to give them the confirmation they've been searching for,
24:21
even though the couple responsible will eventually still walk free.
24:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that was over there.
24:33
Speaker 1: That was over there. Okay, you'll like to ship.
24:46
Speaker 10: Right now?
24:46
Speaker 1: Okay, do you want to hang out and shade a.
24:59
Speaker 3: Thank you? Yes, here's a.
25:11
Speaker 4: Tragically, this discovery confirms detective's worst fears, but as investigators
25:17
examine the remains, something stands out. Although the body has
25:22
decayed significantly, it still shows signs of possible injuries. Suddenly,
25:28
Brianna's claims of an accidental suffocation no longer seem as
25:32
straightforward as she described, and detectives now need to get
25:36
to the bottom of what really happened. So, while forensics
25:39
continue their work, a detective speaks with Manny, hoping to
25:42
determine whether Brianna is telling the truth or if she's
25:45
just protecting him. What Manny says next makes one thing
25:48
unmistakably clear. He has no intention of taking responsibility.
25:54
Speaker 21: When you get it, that's the baby pass The way
25:58
from you and Brianna uh buried the.
26:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, why why would you try to hide that factor?
26:06
Speaker 7: Can you remember?
26:08
Speaker 23: And I remember the baby was being really fusty and
26:12
Band was like, you know what, let's just go outside
26:16
because like so we went outside and we tried like
26:19
maybe going to the guitar and then turn it on
26:21
and maybe the help of the car being turned on
26:24
and about the ocation probably help with speak.
26:28
Speaker 21: See I can I can understand that for as much
26:31
as you want closure in this, you don't think that
26:34
that I want closure. I have my own babies. But
26:36
the only way that I can get that closure, man,
26:39
is if you guys just help us, like just and
26:43
by helping us, I mean, just just be honest with this.
26:47
Speaker 2: Was the baby? Did you know it was the baby
26:50
in the backpack?
26:50
Speaker 11: Did you put the baby in in something? Just ands.
26:58
Speaker 21: And where you refute showed us that's where you remembered
27:02
the best of your knowledge.
27:03
Speaker 4: As will, despite the detective's efforts to get any reaction
27:07
out of him, Many remains completely emotionless, taking no responsibility,
27:12
and insists it was nothing more than an accident caused
27:15
by Brianna, with Brianna already taking all the blame. Detectives
27:19
have no choice but to accept their statements for now,
27:22
and the interview with Manny is wrapped up. Back at
27:24
the burial site, forensics finish documenting the scene and the
27:28
remains are sent for autopsy. At this point, officers could
27:32
arrest the couple for tampering with evidence they already admitted
27:35
to burying the body, but detectives make a different decision
27:39
and let the couple walk free. On the surface, it
27:43
seems like a strange choice, but in reality it's a
27:47
calculated move that will become crucial later on. With that decision,
27:52
the scene is cleared and the day is wrapped up.
27:55
Back at the station, investigators regroup to discuss their plan
28:00
or that letting the couple go at least temporarily is
28:03
what's best for the investigation. There is no autopsy yet,
28:06
no confirmed cause of death, and no clear way to
28:09
prove who is responsible. If Brianna and Manny were arrested immediately,
28:13
they would almost certainly lawyer up, and detectives would lose
28:16
the only chance to confront them once the medical evidence
28:19
comes back. By waiting, investigators gain a strategic advantage, the
28:23
opportunity to secure a confession when the autopsy reveals the truth,
28:27
but their plan comes with major risk. The couple is
28:31
now completely free to disappear, and what detectives don't know
28:35
yet is that Manny has family in Mexico. Over the
28:39
following week, investigators wait for the autopsy results and begin
28:43
searching for anything that could help strengthen their case. They're
28:46
certain Brianna hasn't told the full truth, and with Manny's
28:50
history of abuse involving his previous child and wife, there
28:53
is every reason to suspect foul play in their daughter's death.
28:57
So to gain more insight into the couple, detectives arranged
29:00
to meet Breonna's aunt, Ruby at her workplace. At this point,
29:04
Ruby has no idea that her grand niece is long gone,
29:09
and once detectives break the tragic news to her, she
29:12
will make it clear just how big of a mistake
29:14
it was to let the couple walk free.
29:17
Speaker 2: If it's okay?
29:19
Speaker 6: Is it okay?
29:19
Speaker 7: If I asked you some questions before we get started? Okay,
29:22
So how did this all come?
29:23
Speaker 26: Abou I was six years old, I've had her. She
29:27
lived with me at age twenty three. She left in
29:30
and out, you know, once they turned eighteen they know
29:32
it all. She got pregnant from some guy out of Texas.
29:38
She was excited to be all but when she met
29:41
this guy she's with now, she messaged.
29:44
Speaker 2: THEE, I have my baby.
29:47
Speaker 6: I rushed to the hospital. Where was that here?
29:50
Speaker 11: Here?
29:51
Speaker 26: Yes, sir, I took baby pictures with the baby, and
29:54
he got upset before he walked out that room.
29:57
Speaker 1: He whispered something in her ear.
29:58
Speaker 18: And I looked at him like, I said, is he
30:01
is he mad? She says, yes, the uh he's mad.
30:05
Speaker 26: I said, well, I don't care if he gets mad.
30:06
I want to take pictures of the baby, Me and
30:08
the baby. Her brothers was sending her money every Fridays
30:13
to help her out with the baby.
30:15
Speaker 18: He would ask her, where's my baby niece. I want
30:18
to meet my baby niece.
30:20
Speaker 1: There's no baby.
30:20
Speaker 6: Her brother Brian.
30:22
Speaker 18: I spoke to him last night. He goes, I haven't
30:24
heard nothing.
30:25
Speaker 1: Thead or her brother and never called her.
30:28
Speaker 26: They argued and he told her, hey, I'm not going
30:31
to be sending you any more money if you can't
30:32
bring me my baby niece to meet her.
30:34
Speaker 18: I don't even know her. Every time they'd go, he
30:37
said she'd get the money and go and there's no baby,
30:40
or if she.
30:40
Speaker 26: Says she left it with an aunt, we're the only aunts,
30:43
me one from Rows one the other two they being't
30:46
even capable of.
30:47
Speaker 2: Taking care of a kid.
30:48
Speaker 4: Ruby would continue describing more concerning behavior from the couple,
30:52
especially Manny's anger and hostility around Breonna's daughter, but as
30:57
she talks, she begins to sense that the detective sitting
30:59
across us from her may already know far more about
31:02
her grandniece's condition than she does.
31:05
Speaker 2: Is there a baby?
31:06
Speaker 18: Did they take him in for questioning?
31:08
Speaker 7: Are they the user?
31:11
Speaker 1: They're a baby?
31:12
Speaker 2: So the baby there was, but they all found her.
31:28
I know, but we still have I know, and this
31:32
is part of the Jui system that we have.
31:36
Speaker 26: They should be locked up, they should be lost taking
31:41
her to her doctor visits or anything.
31:45
Speaker 7: So it's still under investigation. Movie, there's still a lot
31:48
of questions we have. Okay, well what do they say
31:52
again if we haven't really spoke to them.
31:54
Speaker 2: Okay, they're going to be gone. If you go find them,
31:58
they're gonna be gone.
32:00
Speaker 26: He has his family in Mexico, He has family as
32:04
lns for Mexico.
32:05
Speaker 6: They have family and bodies.
32:07
Speaker 4: Through her grief, she warns them about something they hadn't
32:11
fully considered. The couple could already be on the run,
32:15
especially with Manny's connections in Mexico. Additionally, her description of
32:19
Brianna as a follower only reinforces what investigators heard before.
32:24
It's starting to make sense to detectives why Brianna would
32:27
take the blame, even if many played a bigger role
32:30
in what happened. By now, though, Ruby is devastated knowing
32:35
she will never see her grand niece again, her reaction
32:38
is far more emotional than anything detectives have seen from Brianna.
32:42
But sadly, the tragic news doesn't stop there, because Ruby
32:46
is about to hear the most disturbing part about her
32:49
grandniece's death.
32:52
Speaker 2: They killed her. He killed her.
32:54
Speaker 22: I know he did.
32:56
Speaker 18: I could have had that baby, I could have raised her.
33:00
Speaker 2: Who the dad is We don't know him.
33:02
Speaker 7: Nobody knows.
33:03
Speaker 18: Nobody knows who he is.
33:05
Speaker 7: The baby has been sent up to Albert Kerque for
33:08
an autopsy. How months.
33:12
Speaker 2: Before she turned one?
33:14
Speaker 7: Oh god, I don't know how old she was exactly,
33:17
but I'm guessing a month.
33:19
Speaker 18: To two months when she passed away.
33:25
Speaker 11: Thank god.
33:26
Speaker 19: So she.
33:31
Speaker 25: Going off the information that I was told, Yet they
33:36
stopped breathing because all they all he did was when
33:40
I got to that card, smelt like bad, bad, like.
33:43
Speaker 2: We I bet that you couldn't even breathe. Why are
33:48
they still out of living?
33:50
Speaker 18: Well, you know.
33:53
Speaker 7: It takes about six months.
33:55
Speaker 1: God, they'll be gone.
33:59
Speaker 6: They'll be gone.
34:00
Speaker 7: That's why we don't want them. We don't want to
34:02
swoop them one and.
34:03
Speaker 2: They'd already want the minute you already discovered that. It's
34:07
what they are. They're gone.
34:09
Speaker 18: I know they're cone.
34:12
Speaker 4: Ruby is justifiably furious. She wants justice, even if it
34:18
means putting her own niece behind bars. But without an autopsy,
34:22
detectives still don't have definitive proof of how Rihanna's daughter
34:25
died or who is responsible. Making an arrest now could
34:29
jeopardize the case. With that uncertainty hanging over the investigation,
34:34
detectives wrap up the interview with Ruby. At this point,
34:38
they still believe waiting is a safer option, but that
34:41
decision comes with a dangerous consequence. It gives the couple
34:45
exactly what they need, time to run, disappear, and make
34:49
sure they're never found. Over two months later, the autopsy
34:55
results finally come in, and the findings are more disturbing
34:59
than than anyone imagined. The report reveals multiple injuries in
35:05
the child's system. Most importantly, the manner of death is
35:09
ruled a homicide for the first time. Detectives have confirmation
35:14
that foul play was involved. Now they need to figure
35:17
out which one of them is responsible, and more importantly,
35:21
where they are. Detectives are quickly sent out to search
35:25
for the couple, but they're nowhere to be found. Days
35:28
turn into weeks and every possible address comes up empty.
35:33
It begins to look like Ruby's ride all along. The
35:35
couple may have disappeared for good and gotten away with
35:38
the murder of her grand niece. Eight full weeks pass
35:44
and still no sign of Brianna or Manny. Then in February,
35:49
detectives receive a tip that the couple has returned and
35:52
is quietly staying at Manny's father's trailer at a nearby park.
35:56
It's the first real lead since the autopsy. Officers are dispatched,
36:00
but they're told to keep the encounter calm and convince
36:03
the couple to come involuntarily. The goal is to extract
36:06
a confession, not spook them into running again. Minutes later,
36:11
they arrived at the trailer park, hoping this time the
36:13
pair won't slip away.
36:23
Speaker 3: There's a nice in.
36:24
Speaker 1: There, Hie, are you good?
36:35
Speaker 2: How are you good?
36:37
Speaker 12: Good?
36:38
Speaker 2: Here?
36:38
Speaker 1: Your kiddo's home. Oh okay, Hi, nice to see you again.
36:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you.
36:47
Speaker 14: Don't mind, Sir, can you just call Brienna out just
36:51
right now if you wouldn't mind. I'm as Brianna. Some
37:04
things have come up and I wouldn't I would want
37:07
to know if you'd like the chance or the opportunity
37:09
to speak with us on it. Okay, would you mind
37:14
going to our station, just sit down and have a
37:17
conversation where it's a little more.
37:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll go.
37:26
Speaker 14: Okay, I just want to s Yeah.
37:29
Speaker 7: We'll give you a ride and then we'll bring you
37:30
right now.
37:32
Speaker 1: You don't have any knives or anything on you? Okay?
37:34
Speaker 14: Do you mind if I just password you just really quick,
37:36
just make sure you don't have anything on you.
37:37
Speaker 1: No, you're good, okay.
37:42
Speaker 4: Brianna doesn't ask a single question and simply steps into
37:46
the back of the cruiser, a strangely calm reaction considering
37:49
she's been out of sight for months. But things are
37:51
about to get even stranger. Once, officers call many to
37:55
come out more time.
37:57
Speaker 1: One more time, one more time. Okay, do you mind
38:01
coming and talking with that? Okay, cool, we're right, yeah, just.
38:09
Speaker 6: As a precaution, that's going to patch you down to
38:11
make sure you don't have it.
38:12
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I appreciate it.
38:19
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you with that.
38:23
Speaker 4: Manny's reaction is just as baffling as Brianna's. He also
38:27
agrees to come along without asking a single question, an
38:31
odd level of cooperation for a couple who's avoided police
38:34
for nearly two months. The pair is quickly transported to
38:37
the station. Upon arrival, they're separated immediately. The detective, Amanda Keller,
38:42
leads both interrogations. Investigators need to determine which one of
38:46
the two is responsible, or whether they both played a role.
38:50
If they can't sort that out, prosecutors may never be
38:53
able to prove who actually killed the child, and both
38:56
Brianna and Manny could walk away without a single charge.
39:01
For the killer couple, everything is on the line as well.
39:04
If one of them slips up, they risk a life sentence,
39:08
But if they both stick to the same story, there's
39:11
a chance they get nothing more than tampering charges or
39:14
even walk out completely free for the second time.
39:20
Speaker 1: Thank it's Brianna. Did you get some water? Okay, but
39:26
it's been a while, so yeah, my name's Amanda Keller.
39:28
This is Edward Ronda. So we're here today to like
39:33
we said out there, basically, this investigation is coming to
39:35
an end, and we just had additional questions for you.
39:39
How did that night start off?
39:42
Speaker 20: Well, Okay, I was tired, and whenever after I gave
39:46
birth and all that, I got depressions, so I would
39:49
take those and that when that time happened, I took
39:53
that and I took all so whenever that happened. Okay,
40:00
whole card thing. I know, I said that, but the
40:03
actually the actual thing was I you were in the
40:06
bed and she slept over.
40:09
Speaker 1: Now, so you woke up, baby was cold, You started
40:12
doing CPR. What about Manny? What is nanny doing?
40:16
Speaker 7: Yeah?
40:16
Speaker 18: I mean I tried to miss it, but Thenny fricked
40:20
out like like, oh, she.
40:21
Speaker 1: Was happening great, And then what did you decide to do?
40:25
Speaker 25: I just.
40:28
Speaker 18: Put a plastic bag and everything.
40:34
Speaker 14: I guess I'm just confused as to why y'all would
40:36
say that you were living in the vehicle and I
40:39
were just staying like just I don't know, I don't
40:42
know why I said that.
40:43
Speaker 2: I was just faked out, gotcha.
40:46
Speaker 4: Brianna still clings to the claim that her daughter's death
40:50
was accidental, and through it all, she continues defending Manny,
40:54
insisting he had nothing to do with it. What Brianna
40:57
doesn't know is that police already have an autime that
41:00
directly contradicts her explanation of what happened that night, and
41:05
the detective is about to use it to completely dismantle
41:08
her story.
41:10
Speaker 15: So she did test.
41:11
Speaker 1: Positive for Do you know why that would be?
41:16
Speaker 18: I'm not sure.
41:18
Speaker 1: Okay, do you use? Does many use? Has he used?
41:25
Speaker 18: He hasn't used it whenever he got theater or anything
41:28
that I know them.
41:29
Speaker 7: Okay, we're just trying to figure out why are these
41:34
lab results telling us this?
41:37
Speaker 25: We know you know?
41:41
Speaker 11: Did he use often?
41:44
Speaker 7: It's a very addicting it. Does he still use?
41:51
Speaker 1: No?
41:52
Speaker 7: Well, that's good.
41:54
Speaker 18: She changed to me to make him, you know, not
41:59
what with girl?
42:01
Speaker 7: Yeah? Okay, how long did he use for? You don't know,
42:11
He's like some months?
42:12
Speaker 25: Is that.
42:14
Speaker 7: Some years?
42:16
Speaker 4: Brianna's hesitation to admit Manny's drug use only confirms what
42:21
detectives already suspect. She's hiding the truth, and she seems
42:25
far more focused on protecting Manny than revealing what happened
42:29
to her own daughter. But Brianna's denials are about to
42:32
end because detectives still have more gruesome details from the autopsy,
42:37
things only a truly evil parent could do.
42:42
Speaker 1: So when we review the autopsy, there were also some
42:46
injuries to her phones, and one was before she had passed.
42:55
Do you know why she would have injuries to her to.
43:00
Speaker 2: Or to her leg?
43:07
Speaker 1: Did you ever leave her with anybody? So it was
43:12
primarily either you were manning around her at all times.
43:17
Speaker 7: Did you really fall asleep on Klan? Yeah, that's what
43:21
killed her.
43:24
Speaker 1: Were you guys arguing and he may have taken it
43:29
out on Kilani? Or was she upset?
43:37
Speaker 18: I just feel like you'd like crying with him?
43:40
Speaker 7: Kind this was just one time all the time. But
43:48
when you hurt her, was this just one time or
43:51
was this.
43:51
Speaker 2: All the time?
43:53
Speaker 10: Once?
43:55
Speaker 18: You was never like ever just that time?
43:57
Speaker 1: So he just lost to school, he seems like, Yeah,
44:01
it's not that.
44:02
Speaker 18: I just feel like when he went to military, feel
44:05
like it changed.
44:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that can happen, and if you don't
44:10
get help for it, it just kind of back.
44:12
Speaker 18: So I was like that once too.
44:14
Speaker 4: Then I go out because I was trying to kill Yeah,
44:19
for the first time, Brianna isn't blaming herself. She's hinting
44:24
that Manny may have played a role in the child's death.
44:28
It is at this point detectives decide to pause the
44:31
interrogation and give her a short break, worried that she
44:34
might shut down completely if they push any harder. But
44:37
when they return to the room, something has changed. Brianna
44:41
can't hide the truth any longer. She's about to break
44:44
and finally reveal what happened to her daughter that fateful night.
44:49
Speaker 6: Do you really think he's going to be honest or
44:51
do you think he's going to.
44:53
Speaker 7: Put it on you.
44:56
Speaker 18: Feel like you didn't know.
45:00
Speaker 12: Tell?
45:02
Speaker 7: Why is that fun?
45:04
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be fine? You think that's right? Why did
45:09
you say earlier if you felt like if you had
45:11
met somebody else.
45:13
Speaker 25: That m.
45:18
Speaker 18: Because none of this would happen.
45:20
Speaker 11: Why is that?
45:25
Speaker 18: I just feel like he's different, like ever since you
45:29
want to the military.
45:32
Speaker 7: It's okay, it's not your fault. It's not your fault.
45:38
Speaker 1: It's not your fault. I have loved do what you know,
45:43
I have moved.
45:45
Speaker 6: I get it.
45:47
Speaker 1: You don't have to you know that, right. You don't
45:52
have to go back there.
45:53
Speaker 6: You don't feel trapped, You don't have to go back there.
46:03
Speaker 7: Why do you blame yourself?
46:04
Speaker 13: Yeah?
46:06
Speaker 18: Because I have the last.
46:09
Speaker 1: You can find someone for you to go. You know
46:15
your family loves you.
46:18
Speaker 18: I know that you fight.
46:19
Speaker 1: They do, they do, even still, they still take up
46:22
for you. They still ask about you if we've heard
46:25
from you.
46:27
Speaker 11: They love you.
46:29
Speaker 1: They do regardless of what's happened.
46:32
Speaker 18: All my life. I've lived here. Shoot, can.
46:39
Speaker 6: Y'all this is the first steps one?
46:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is this is ship this but
46:52
it's okay.
46:52
Speaker 8: But you're doing it now. That's the place you're doing it. Yeah, no, late,
47:00
but it's not too late, right, it's not too late.
47:07
Speaker 6: Do you feel safe?
47:08
Speaker 7: Brion?
47:09
Speaker 11: Is what we're getting in.
47:10
Speaker 6: Do you want our help? Do you want us to
47:14
give you a little bit of time to think?
47:16
Speaker 27: Real quick?
47:17
Speaker 6: We'll find you a cooke, try to find you something.
47:21
Speaker 18: I feel safe?
47:24
Speaker 1: Good housinga Yeah.
47:27
Speaker 10: I think.
47:29
Speaker 4: Brianna's lies are unraveling before her eyes. She says, the
47:34
military changed Manny, insisting that if it weren't for him,
47:37
her daughter would still be alive. As she breaks down,
47:41
even the detectives grow emotional. With Brianna's side of the
47:45
story now revealed, detectives wrap up the interview and move
47:48
her into another room, ready to question the person they
47:51
believe is the real killer. This time, their strategy is different.
47:56
They plan to confront him with evidence almost immediately and
48:00
see whether his version of events aligns with Brianna's. But
48:03
after avoiding consequences for more than a year, Manny still
48:07
believes he can talk his way out of trouble, and
48:10
the worst part is he might be right.
48:13
Speaker 11: Head for everyone.
48:15
Speaker 1: You will, what kind of medication did you take that night?
48:20
Speaker 11: I didn't take medication.
48:24
Speaker 1: So what does that normally do to you? How does
48:26
that affect your body?
48:27
Speaker 10: Knocks me up, it does what.
48:29
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, It knocks me up, knocks you out, like
48:32
just makes you tired.
48:35
Speaker 14: Okay, okay, So even in that time, right, she can't
48:37
hold her head up right. She can't crawl, so she's
48:41
very dependent on somebody right to hold her to move
48:45
her right. She can't just put something in her mouth
48:48
or however. Okay, so how would she have consers? So
48:53
who else could have been around her and smoked it
48:57
or somehow?
49:00
Speaker 1: Okay, that doesn't make sense to me. Do you see
49:02
how we're kind of if you're yeah, how did the
49:07
baby get hold of it?
49:09
Speaker 11: That's what I understand either.
49:11
Speaker 4: Manny's admission to taking the drugs only further confirms detective suspicions.
49:16
At this point, he is their primary focus, and investigators
49:19
believe he's the one responsible for their daughter's death, so
49:22
they stop circling around the topic and decide to fully
49:25
accuse Manny of murder to see if they can break
49:28
his story and elicita confession.
49:33
Speaker 1: This is your knee essentially right and right here? Do
49:39
you see that? It's more of a this is like
49:42
an actual This is more of like a yeah, like
49:46
here's your right and then it's right here on the corner.
49:53
Do you know why she would have had injury? Right there?
49:58
Speaker 7: The only the only I.
50:01
Speaker 16: Would know, The only thing that worried me was her
50:03
probably being because whenever we did do the CPR, that's
50:07
what The only cause injuries that I would know, like every.
50:11
Speaker 6: Yanked your leg or nothing like that.
50:15
Speaker 7: Okay, man, I'm gonna be honest with you.
50:18
Speaker 6: We know, Wow, we know what happened, Like the facts
50:22
don't lie on the autopsy report.
50:24
Speaker 24: Okay, we know that the injuries occurred before death, all right,
50:31
so that CPR doesn't play in fact. Okay, So the
50:35
medical examiners have a way of proving injuries before death
50:39
because the bone will actually start to try to heal
50:41
almost immediately.
50:43
Speaker 7: Does that make sense.
50:44
Speaker 6: You're still getting blood flow and all that kind of stuff.
50:46
Speaker 27: I don't know the science behind it, but based off
50:50
what happened, injuries were prior to death, meaning she was
50:54
still alive when the injuries occurred, all injuries.
50:58
Speaker 11: Does that make sense?
51:01
Speaker 4: As detectives continue laying out the evidence against him, Manny
51:05
sits stone faced. This is the moment where everything hangs
51:09
in the balance. With all cards on the table and
51:12
murder accusations in front of him, many could shut down
51:15
the entire interrogation, ask for a lawyer, and refuse to
51:19
answer another question. What happens next will determine not only
51:23
his fate, but Brianna's as well.
51:26
Speaker 7: Just tells nor I already know.
51:30
Speaker 11: She's being fussen and I got upset. Good bye a
51:34
leg and jameter, and she's gonna stop crying, so nice said, okay,
51:40
that was no How long did you say no? Long?
51:46
Maybe like a media, maybe this is a little bit of.
51:49
Speaker 6: Time until until what she stopped crying?
51:54
Speaker 25: I see.
51:56
Speaker 2: When did you know.
51:59
Speaker 7: That she had died?
52:00
Speaker 11: Mm? Whenever I got up, she's talking, so I thought
52:07
she was like, oh gosh, I checked her and she
52:10
wasn't reading.
52:12
Speaker 16: Okay, and then what And that's when we should have
52:15
been the CPI okay reading panicking?
52:19
Speaker 7: Didn't know what happened? Why didn't y'all caught blah blah blah?
52:26
Speaker 11: That was my That wasn't my called. Brianna wanted to
52:29
call him, but I told her not to.
52:32
Speaker 7: Just freaked out and we just were scared.
52:35
Speaker 1: What was Brianna doing when everything was happening?
52:38
Speaker 3: Mmm?
52:42
Speaker 11: I think she was in the kitchen. I don't know.
52:44
And when she came in and she would have went twitter,
52:48
I was like, she's not beating you.
52:52
Speaker 7: Did she see what happened? She didn't see it.
52:56
Speaker 6: There's no way for he stopping here or nothing like that.
53:01
Was that the first time you had lost your temper?
53:05
Speaker 24: Is it just a constant cry and just kind of
53:07
got to you or just a split second is kind of.
53:11
Speaker 4: Lowsuit, Manny finally admits he snapped and killed Brianna's daughter
53:17
in a moment of rage. Following his confession, both suspects
53:21
are taken into custody, Manny on charges of child resulting
53:24
in death and Brianna for tampering with evidence and helping
53:28
bury the body. But despite a murder confession, both Brianna
53:31
and Manny will ultimately walk out of jail. As of
53:35
September twenty twenty five, both have been released on bond
53:38
while awaiting trial. They are right now free, unrestricted, unsupervised,
53:44
and able to disappear at any moment. Manny is likely
53:48
facing a life sentence if convicted. Brianna, for her role
53:51
in hiding the body, is expected to receive a significantly
53:54
shorter term, but that's only if they show up to court.
53:58
With Manny's family ties in Mexico and both suspects currently
54:01
out in the world, there is always a chance they
54:04
could vanish again, this time for good.
