- 3:02Speaker 5: Yo?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Before we get into what happened that night, let me
- 3:09Speaker 1: tell you a bit about the town where it happened,
- 3:11Speaker 1: because that also matters as far as this case is concerned.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Joh Darius disappeared in a part of North Baton Rouge
- 3:18Speaker 1: that locals have called ghost Town for years, and the
- 3:21Speaker 1: name carries the weight of its nomenclature. This is an
- 3:24Speaker 1: area that has long struggled with abandoned properties, crime, violence,
- 3:29Speaker 1: and heavy police presence. It's the kind of neighborhood where
- 3:33Speaker 1: people keep their heads down, where things happen in the dark,
- 3:36Speaker 1: and where answers are hard to come by even when
- 3:39Speaker 1: people know exactly what went on. Ghost Town has a
- 3:42Speaker 1: reputation that did not come out of nowhere, and the
- 3:46Speaker 1: fact that a fifteen year old boy was moving around
- 3:49Speaker 1: that area at two in the morning alone on a
- 3:52Speaker 1: bicycle makes his disappearance even more alarming to everyone who
- 3:55Speaker 1: loved him. Now, let's talk about who jod Dairy actually was,
- 4:02Speaker 1: because this is the part the news doesn't always slow down.
- 4:05Speaker 1: For his grandmother, Juwanna Brooks described him as a hard working,
- 4:11Speaker 1: outgoing kid who loved being around his family. She said
- 4:15Speaker 1: he was the type of boy who stayed in contact,
- 4:18Speaker 1: not just sometimes all the time. If he was out
- 4:22Speaker 1: with friends or cousins and his phone battery died, he
- 4:25Speaker 1: wouldn't just go quiet. He would borrow someone else's phone,
- 4:29Speaker 1: a friend's phone, a cousin's phone, whoever had one, just
- 4:33Speaker 1: to call home and let his family know he was okay.
- 4:36Speaker 1: That was just who he was. He had recently started
- 4:40Speaker 1: working through a city summer employment program over at Istruma
- 4:44Speaker 1: High School. He was excited about it. He was looking
- 4:48Speaker 1: forward to earning his own money. His family says he
- 4:51Speaker 1: was already thinking ahead, already making plans for what that
- 4:55Speaker 1: second paycheck was going to go toward. This wasn't a
- 4:59Speaker 1: kid who had given up or who had reason to
- 5:02Speaker 1: walk away from his life. This was a kid who
- 5:05Speaker 1: was just getting started. So what do we actually know
- 5:09Speaker 1: about June fifth? According to family members and investigators, joh
- 5:15Speaker 1: Darius left to go visit a teenage girl he knew.
- 5:18Speaker 1: The Details of how they knew each other haven't been
- 5:21Speaker 1: fully confirmed publicly, whether it was through school, social media,
- 5:26Speaker 1: the neighborhood, or mutual friends. None of that has been
- 5:30Speaker 1: officially established. I did some digging and came across a
- 5:34Speaker 1: couple of social media pages reportedly run by the girl.
- 5:39Speaker 1: It appears that much of the content has since been
- 5:41Speaker 1: disabled or removed. However, I was still able to find
- 5:45Speaker 1: some material that seemed to suggest she may have been
- 5:48Speaker 1: involved in a love triangle. But I don't want to
- 5:51Speaker 1: get ahead of the story. We'll come back to that
- 5:53Speaker 1: aspect later. For now, what the family does know is
- 5:59Speaker 1: that Jade Darius went to a residence on Web Drive
- 6:03Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge, and that he arrived there that evening.
- 6:07Speaker 1: At some point during the night, he put his red
- 6:09Speaker 1: and black bicycle in the backyard of that house behind
- 6:13Speaker 1: a fence, reportedly at the suggestion of someone there so
- 6:16Speaker 1: that nobody would steal it. That detail matters. If Jadarius
- 6:21Speaker 1: was planning to just get up and leave on his
- 6:24Speaker 1: own casually at two in the morning, you'd think he
- 6:27Speaker 1: would have taken his bicycle with him. But the bicycle
- 6:31Speaker 1: was put away hidden like someone was expecting him to
- 6:35Speaker 1: stay a little longer, and then somewhere between two and
- 6:40Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning, he was gone. According to
- 6:44Speaker 1: people with knowledge of the situation. A vehicle pulled up
- 6:48Speaker 1: to that residence between two thirteen and two fifteen am.
- 6:52Speaker 1: It backed into the driveway, It stayed for two minutes,
- 6:56Speaker 1: maybe three, and then it pulled away at a fast
- 6:59Speaker 1: rate of speed. At that same window of time, the
- 7:02Speaker 1: teenage girl reportedly told people that jed Darius had left
- 7:07Speaker 1: and gone home. But according to surveillance footage and accounts
- 7:10Speaker 1: that have been shared, nobody was seen walking out of
- 7:13Speaker 1: that house. Now, this right here is worth examining. Nobody
- 7:18Speaker 1: walking out, but a vehicle backing in and pulling off
- 7:22Speaker 1: fast in the middle of the night at the exact
- 7:24Speaker 1: same time jed Darius was supposedly leaving. His grandmother called
- 7:29Speaker 1: him nothing, His parents called nothing. His phone went completely
- 7:36Speaker 1: silent that night and has not shown any activity since.
- 7:41Speaker 1: For a kid who would borrow a stranger's phone just
- 7:43Speaker 1: to check in, that silence is the loudest possible alarm.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Now Here is where this case takes a turn that
- 7:52Speaker 1: nobody expected. As Baton Rouge police began working jad Darius's disappearance,
- 7:58Speaker 1: they came into contact with the teenage girl connected to
- 8:01Speaker 1: the residents he visited that night. They obtained a search
- 8:05Speaker 1: warrant for her phone and what they found inside that
- 8:09Speaker 1: phone had nothing to do with Judarius directly, but it
- 8:12Speaker 1: opened up a whole other investigation that nobody saw coming.
- 8:16Speaker 1: On that phone, detectives found a series of messages between
- 8:20Speaker 1: the girl and a fifty year old man named Maurice
- 8:24Speaker 1: Robbia Palms.
- 8:25Speaker 5: Police, I've arrested a man on an indecent behavior charge
- 8:28Speaker 5: for his lege involvement with a teenage girl. According to
- 8:31Speaker 5: court document's, fifty year old Maurice Palms sent inappropriate messages
- 8:35Speaker 5: and money using a cash shap to the sixteen year
- 8:38Speaker 5: old girl. He would also take her shopping. Police discovered
- 8:41Speaker 5: this information while investigating a separate case, the disappearance of
- 8:45Speaker 5: fifteen year old Jadarius Miniweather, who's been missing since last week.
- 8:49Speaker 1: When investigators dug deeper, the picture that emerged was deeply disturbing.
- 8:54Speaker 1: According to arrest documents, Palms in this teenage girl had
- 8:58Speaker 1: been in contact since around September of twenty twenty five,
- 9:02Speaker 1: when she was fifteen years old, communicating through a texting
- 9:06Speaker 1: application called text Now. In those messages, Parmes called this
- 9:10Speaker 1: child his bay. He told her he loved her. He
- 9:14Speaker 1: talked about their relationship as something real, something he couldn't
- 9:18Speaker 1: wait for the world to see, and he referred to
- 9:21Speaker 1: his seven year old daughter as this teenager's stepdaughter. But
- 9:25Speaker 1: here is the critical thing you need to understand. Police
- 9:29Speaker 1: have not publicly stated that Palmes is connected to John
- 9:32Speaker 1: Darius's disappearance. The question of what happened to Jadarius that
- 9:37Speaker 1: night is still, as of right now, officially unanswered. Now
- 9:43Speaker 1: Here is what is also troubling. This same girl has
- 9:47Speaker 1: a whole social media page dedicated to sharing couple's pictures,
- 9:52Speaker 1: and guess what. The boy with whom she shared those
- 9:55Speaker 1: couple moments on that page was neither Palms nor jodareus.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Looking at the videos she shared, it appears there was
- 10:03Speaker 1: something serious between the two of them, and these were
- 10:06Speaker 1: recent videos, posted just a couple of weeks before this incident.
- 10:13Speaker 1: But the community is not waiting quietly. Family members have
- 10:17Speaker 1: been out on those streets every single day. Missing person
- 10:21Speaker 1: flyers went up across the neighborhood almost immediately, and one
- 10:25Speaker 1: of the most powerful forces that showed up to help
- 10:28Speaker 1: was the United Cajun Navy, a volunteer search and rescue
- 10:32Speaker 1: organization that has deployed across Louisiana for years. Their incident,
- 10:37Speaker 1: Commander Josh gil brought more than one hundred volunteers into
- 10:41Speaker 1: the field, combing through wooded areas, abandoned properties, bridges, highways, levees,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and the banks near the river, over three hundred square
- 10:51Speaker 1: miles of ground covered on foot by people who didn't
- 10:55Speaker 1: even know jaw Darius personally, but who showed up anyway
- 10:59Speaker 1: because a child would missing and somebody had to look.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And yet the answers still haven't come. Think about what
- 11:06Speaker 1: we know. A fifteen year old boy goes to visit
- 11:10Speaker 1: a teenage girl in the middle of the night. A
- 11:12Speaker 1: fifty year old man has been secretly illegally grooming that
- 11:17Speaker 1: same teenage girl for months. That man lives approximately one
- 11:22Speaker 1: mile away from the house Jadarius visited. That man's vehicle,
- 11:26Speaker 1: according to information shared by the family, was captured on
- 11:30Speaker 1: surveillance backing into the driveway of that house at two.
- 11:34Speaker 1: He stayed two minutes, he left fast, and from that
- 11:38Speaker 1: same window of time forward, Jadarius Miniweather has not been
- 11:43Speaker 1: seen or heard from by a single person who loves him.
- 11:46Speaker 1: That man is currently behind bars, not for anything connected
- 11:50Speaker 1: to jaw Darius, but for what he did to that
- 11:53Speaker 1: teenage girl. The investigation into jaw Darius's disappearance is still active,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and Rouge Police Department has not closed this case. They
- 12:03Speaker 1: have not named a suspect. They have not said publicly
- 12:06Speaker 1: what they believe happened in those early morning hours of
- 12:09Speaker 1: June fifth,
