- 1:01Speaker 1: on Sunday, July six. It's another hot, humid summer in Wilmington,
- 1:06Speaker 1: North Carolina. All signs led to the likelihood that she
- 1:09Speaker 1: had left the area on her own a quarter. In
- 1:11Speaker 1: April two thousand and eight, a human skull was found
- 1:14Speaker 1: in a wooden area three miles from where she was
- 1:16Speaker 1: last seen, but Allison wasn't alone. It was soon discovered
- 1:19Speaker 1: that there were actually two. Her case is still an
- 1:23Speaker 1: unsolved thomas I process of elimination have eliminated all but
- 1:27Speaker 1: one potential suspect, a Port City cab driver who was
- 1:30Speaker 1: in the bar Allison disappeared from the case is just
- 1:33Speaker 1: kind of in a stalemate. Investigations are ongoing and there
- 1:36Speaker 1: is no statute of limitations for Martin. There is hope
- 1:39Speaker 1: that the case will be sold. I'm just really fearful
- 1:42Speaker 1: that we're not going to get justice for my sister.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You know, I've talked to so many crime victims, and
- 1:47Speaker 1: we all seem to agree on one thing, and it's
- 1:52Speaker 1: largely anecdotal. I don't have a statistic to prove it.
- 1:56Speaker 1: There's never been a scientific study. But everyone, every crime
- 2:01Speaker 1: victim I have ever spoken to, they know when they
- 2:05Speaker 1: get that call. They know immediately. I knew when I
- 2:12Speaker 1: was told to call my fiance's family and they picked
- 2:15Speaker 1: up the phone, I said the words is Keith gone.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I knew, I knew, and I don't know how I
- 2:24Speaker 1: knew you. In this case, a sister gets a phone
- 2:29Speaker 1: call from dad saying there's a problem Allison's gone. Did
- 2:36Speaker 1: she know? I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank
- 2:40Speaker 1: you for being with us and with me that sister
- 2:44Speaker 1: Lisa Valentino, and we are talking about the disappearance of
- 2:50Speaker 1: her beautiful sister Alison. Lisa, thank you for being with me.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Do you remember when your dad called you? Oh, yeah,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's absolutely I was on a family vacation with my brother,
- 3:03Speaker 1: other brother, my brother and my other sister traveling back
- 3:06Speaker 1: from New Hampshire with our children, and my dad called
- 3:09Speaker 1: us and said, you know, there's a problem, just like
- 3:12Speaker 1: you said Alison in this and and immediately I knew
- 3:16Speaker 1: that she was no longer living. That was the feeling
- 3:19Speaker 1: that I had within my heart, within my gut um
- 3:23Speaker 1: but mute was to say, you know, we we got
- 3:26Speaker 1: our stuff together. We three of us trapped off our families,
- 3:29Speaker 1: hopped on a plane and immediately flew to Willington with
- 3:32Speaker 1: my dad. During that flight, I mean, I know you
- 3:35Speaker 1: had to drop your children off, you had to pack
- 3:37Speaker 1: a bag, you had to get it together and get gone.
- 3:39Speaker 1: How many of us have been in that situation and
- 3:42Speaker 1: in those moments, I remember I had flown to New
- 3:46Speaker 1: York to take the children. Ice skating a Rockefeller Center
- 3:50Speaker 1: and we just got there and I got them all
- 3:52Speaker 1: bathed and in their pj's, and my mom called and said,
- 3:57Speaker 1: they just put your dad on life support. And when
- 4:01Speaker 1: I was trying to repack everybody, and I remember hearing
- 4:05Speaker 1: somebody screaming, get dress, get dressed, or we have to go.
- 4:09Speaker 1: It was me when I look back on it, but
- 4:13Speaker 1: at the time it sounded like somebody else. And threw
- 4:18Speaker 1: everything back in the bags, and within twenty minutes we
- 4:21Speaker 1: were all dressed an assembled out on the sidewalk trying
- 4:24Speaker 1: to held a cab in the middle of the night.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And it's almost like a blur. Do you remember running
- 4:31Speaker 1: in and trying to get everything together, to get the
- 4:34Speaker 1: children straight and get your clothes and get out of there,
- 4:36Speaker 1: you know, if for for us it was a little
- 4:38Speaker 1: bit chipper. And it's funny that you said that though,
- 4:40Speaker 1: because he's eleven years seems like another lifetime ago. But
- 4:44Speaker 1: I do remember like it was yesterday, you know, being
- 4:47Speaker 1: in the car getting the phone call, still being hours
- 4:50Speaker 1: away from our destination, and all of us being in
- 4:54Speaker 1: sept the cars trying to contact one another, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and actually we didn't even go home. We went to
- 4:59Speaker 1: my brother's house and he's his wife kept all of
- 5:02Speaker 1: our children along with my husband, and uh we hopped
- 5:07Speaker 1: on a plane to Philadelphia early the next morning. I mean,
- 5:10Speaker 1: so I can remember all of that and thinking at
- 5:13Speaker 1: the same time I knew something not good. I really
- 5:17Speaker 1: did believe she wasn't alive. But then, well, how do
- 5:19Speaker 1: I know that for sure? Same here? Same here? I
- 5:22Speaker 1: mean I knew, I knew Keith was dead, but I
- 5:25Speaker 1: didn't think about it. I just got trying to get
- 5:27Speaker 1: to him and with Daddy, with my dad, I just
- 5:30Speaker 1: kept thinking, Okay, don't be crazy. He's been sick before.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It's gonna work out. And Cheryl McCallum, director of the
- 5:38Speaker 1: Cold Case Institute, and my longtime friend, Cheryl, thank you
- 5:42Speaker 1: for the my mentor for my dad you sent me.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You know, as to me, it's like he's still here.
- 5:49Speaker 1: And I wonder to you, Lisa Valentino, when you were
- 5:55Speaker 1: on that flight and you were trying to get to
- 5:56Speaker 1: your dad when you first saw him, what did he
- 6:01Speaker 1: say to explain to me how you got off the
- 6:04Speaker 1: plane and you saw him, and what he said? You know,
- 6:07Speaker 1: that part is a little is a little foggy. I
- 6:10Speaker 1: just can see him shaking his heads like you often
- 6:13Speaker 1: did and just saying, I just can't believe it. It's
- 6:15Speaker 1: also unbelievable. I don't I don't understand, you know. And
- 6:21Speaker 1: you know what's weird, Lisa, it seems like like I
- 6:24Speaker 1: have my sister. She is a brainiac. You know, she
- 6:27Speaker 1: graduated at Wharton. They asked her to staying at her
- 6:30Speaker 1: pH d. She became one of the first women in
- 6:34Speaker 1: her department to be on tenure track. You know. My
- 6:37Speaker 1: brother was like the number one salesperson in the whole
- 6:41Speaker 1: country a couple of years in a row with his
- 6:44Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company. It's funny how people can do all sorts
- 6:49Speaker 1: of stellar things, like my mom was this is this
- 6:52Speaker 1: fantastic musician, and my dad worked at the railroad all
- 6:55Speaker 1: these years. But you seem to end up being defined. Bye, oh,
- 7:03Speaker 1: that's Alison's family. You remember what happened, that's that's that's
- 7:06Speaker 1: who you are now. And I've talked about that with
- 7:09Speaker 1: so many crimes. Is somehow that is what you and
- 7:13Speaker 1: your family are. What happened? Then you hit the ground,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and then what do you guys start doing? We hit
- 7:19Speaker 1: the ground and actually at the time that the current
- 7:22Speaker 1: investigator who was on the case, met us at the airport,
- 7:26Speaker 1: to us at the airport, drove us to uh the
- 7:30Speaker 1: police department, and then proceeded to bring us into his
- 7:34Speaker 1: office and have a conversation with the four of us,
- 7:37Speaker 1: UM about what happened. Tell me what happened? How did
- 7:42Speaker 1: Allison go missing? Well that kind of so this was
- 7:45Speaker 1: this is what happened. She UM and my sister Listen
- 7:49Speaker 1: was not without her issues and problems, but you know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: at her heart, she was a very she was a
- 7:54Speaker 1: very good person and most importantly she was a mother
- 7:56Speaker 1: of two young children at the time who were who
- 7:58Speaker 1: were her life. UM. And so they said to us,
- 8:03Speaker 1: we received the phone call from her husband that she
- 8:07Speaker 1: hasn't come home, UM and that uh, you know, he
- 8:11Speaker 1: doesn't know where where she is. And UM, the last
- 8:16Speaker 1: place we know she was seeing without a place called
- 8:19Speaker 1: Junction Pub and Billiards after she finished a shift at work.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Allison had just gotten a new job. She was assistant
- 8:27Speaker 1: manager of a holiday inn here in town, and she
- 8:30Speaker 1: supposedly had gone out to um celebrate after work with
- 8:35Speaker 1: a friend of hers. UM. They found her car at
- 8:39Speaker 1: the establishment, UH, I think a couple of days later,
- 8:44Speaker 1: exactly where it was. It was. You know what's interesting
- 8:46Speaker 1: another thing, Lisa hold on and I want to bring
- 8:48Speaker 1: Sherylyn on this one before I lose this thought, because
- 8:52Speaker 1: every sentence you're saying gives me another whole series of
- 8:56Speaker 1: investigatory thoughts. You know, Cheryl McCullum, director of the Cold
- 8:59Speaker 1: Case Institute. When people it's and you know what, I
- 9:03Speaker 1: guess it's just abbot. When people here she was at
- 9:07Speaker 1: a pub, they think, uh, you know, she was a
- 9:10Speaker 1: party girl. She was drunk, she was doing drugs. She
- 9:12Speaker 1: probably ran a car off the road. They'll find it.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's this woman. And I always feel like I'm in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the position of defending the victim, um and and and
- 9:22Speaker 1: it goes across the board. I remember talking to Chucky
- 9:24Speaker 1: Mark's mom. He was shot riding his bicycle to the
- 9:27Speaker 1: seven eleven, and she's always had she feels she always
- 9:30Speaker 1: has to say he was a good boy. He was
- 9:32Speaker 1: not doing anything wrong. He was like twelve. Of course
- 9:35Speaker 1: he wasn't doing anything wrong. In this case, Alison worked.
- 9:40Speaker 1: She was working there at a brand new job at
- 9:44Speaker 1: the Junction Pub and billiards, and that is why she
- 9:47Speaker 1: was there. Cheryl, not as if she needs to be defended.
- 9:51Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. But I just want that clear
- 9:54Speaker 1: on the record, because for some reason, some people seem
- 9:57Speaker 1: to discount lives. Uh, their life is no less or
- 10:03Speaker 1: more valuable than anybody else's. It does not negate what
- 10:07Speaker 1: happened to her. Have you noticed that Cheryl Nancy? People
- 10:11Speaker 1: spend so much time investigating the victim, not the crime.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Alison leaves the Holiday Inn where she's an assistant manager,
- 10:21Speaker 1: and she's celebrating this new job with friends at the
- 10:24Speaker 1: Junction Pub not far down the road, and yeah, the
- 10:28Speaker 1: police are gonna be like, oh, well, she didn't make
- 10:29Speaker 1: it home. She's probably having an affair. They discount the
- 10:33Speaker 1: obvious her car still at the pub. She's never not
- 10:37Speaker 1: come home before. Her children mean everything to her. So
- 10:41Speaker 1: instead of putting everybody on this and trying to find
- 10:43Speaker 1: this young woman, they're pretty lacks of daysical about it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So what did you learn? You know, Lisa, that she
- 10:51Speaker 1: worked that night till the end of her shift, You
- 10:53Speaker 1: know that she left when the pub was closing down.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Then what how up? And she steps out the door
- 11:01Speaker 1: into the night. Well, and this is where this is
- 11:04Speaker 1: where things get a little a little blurry. Because there
- 11:07Speaker 1: have been a couple of different theories. One is and
- 11:10Speaker 1: this is the one. We really believe that the friends
- 11:13Speaker 1: that she was with, who was exactly that just a
- 11:16Speaker 1: type of term fed onto she would, you know, speak
- 11:19Speaker 1: too often about different things going on our life, said
- 11:22Speaker 1: to her, I don't want it. He drives home. Let's
- 11:25Speaker 1: let's call you a cat, and he says that they
- 11:29Speaker 1: he motioned for the bartender. The bartender came over. He said,
- 11:33Speaker 1: let's get Alison a cat. She went, made a phone
- 11:36Speaker 1: call and a few moments later, and this is how
- 11:40Speaker 1: he describes some in walks, This big country husky guy says,
- 11:44Speaker 1: does anybody did anybody call a cab? Which is unusual
- 11:47Speaker 1: enough to begin with, Normally they don't walk into the bar.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, we did, and Allison said goodnight
- 11:54Speaker 1: and walked out with this cab driver. Um, that's really
- 11:59Speaker 1: what we believe, what everybody believes. Some other people have said,
- 12:02Speaker 1: oh they saw her outside crying on the curb. Um,
- 12:05Speaker 1: you know, she was talking to some other girls. But
- 12:07Speaker 1: we followed up all those those leads, and this really
- 12:11Speaker 1: seems to be the one, Um that is that is truthful.
- 12:15Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, he was away. That's something
- 12:17Speaker 1: you've got to look for, Cheryl, when you have especially
- 12:21Speaker 1: and this is rare in cases like this that you
- 12:24Speaker 1: have a lot last sighting corroborated where somebody walking and
- 12:29Speaker 1: that really stuck out in their minds. The guy wants
- 12:31Speaker 1: and say says, hey, did anybody call a cab? That
- 12:33Speaker 1: would stick out in my mind because I've never had
- 12:35Speaker 1: a cab driver come in and say, hey, did anybody
- 12:38Speaker 1: call a cab? Oh? No, I'm out on the street
- 12:39Speaker 1: begging for a cab, right, And that's corroborated by several people, Cheryl,
- 12:44Speaker 1: So I believe because of that, that is what happened.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Your focus at that moment should be on that cab driver. Period.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I'm talking about a beautiful young a married mother of
- 12:55Speaker 1: two little daughters, an accomplished dancer, a je I'm missed,
- 13:01Speaker 1: the only member of a very very tightly knit family
- 13:06Speaker 1: to have moved out of their hometown area and to
- 13:09Speaker 1: North Carolina. That day, she had called and she had
- 13:15Speaker 1: taught to her sister, Lisa Valentino, and then it wasn't
- 13:21Speaker 1: much longer that she got a call from her dad
- 13:25Speaker 1: to tell Lisa Allison was missing. So trying to reconstruct
- 13:30Speaker 1: the night that Alison Foy goes missing. That's where we
- 13:35Speaker 1: are now in our attempt to put it all back
- 13:39Speaker 1: together again with the hopes of solving this. I want
- 13:42Speaker 1: to go back to Cheryl McCullum, director of the Cold
- 13:45Speaker 1: Case Institute. All Right, so we've led up to the
- 13:48Speaker 1: moment that we learned Alison, this young mom of two
- 13:52Speaker 1: little girls, has disappeared. We know where she disappeared. What
- 13:57Speaker 1: more do we know? At the outsets share? What else
- 14:00Speaker 1: do we know about her disappear Right now? That's all
- 14:02Speaker 1: they know. Did the bartender call it for a cab?
- 14:05Speaker 1: Cab driver comes in, Alison walks out. That's it gone
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the night. Okay, where do we go from here?
- 14:13Speaker 1: That's the next question joining me is Alison's sister, Thank
- 14:17Speaker 1: you so much for being with us, Lisa. What happens next?
- 14:21Speaker 1: So you're sitting there in the police officers office, he's
- 14:23Speaker 1: telling you she's missing. Then what do you do? Well?
- 14:27Speaker 1: I I have to be brutally honest. At the beginning
- 14:31Speaker 1: of this case, and it's since changed, law enforcement was
- 14:36Speaker 1: not as great as it has been in the past
- 14:38Speaker 1: few years. With a few detective changes. They basically told us, um, oh,
- 14:42Speaker 1: she'll turn up. And UM, you know, why don't you
- 14:46Speaker 1: just get a hotel room and you know, we'll let
- 14:49Speaker 1: you know if, if, if everything comes up. Make some flyers.
- 14:53Speaker 1: So here we are four of us. Has never been
- 14:56Speaker 1: to Wilmanton, North Carolina before, never been in a situa
- 15:00Speaker 1: station like this before, west on our own. So what
- 15:02Speaker 1: happens we make flyers. Were out in the baddest areas
- 15:05Speaker 1: of the town late at night searching for for my sister,
- 15:11Speaker 1: um until until a desk clerk at the hotel room
- 15:16Speaker 1: gives us a name and a number of someone in
- 15:18Speaker 1: town who she think can help us. And that's the
- 15:22Speaker 1: key center for missing persons and Monica Cason. And then
- 15:25Speaker 1: once they got involved, things started to move within law
- 15:29Speaker 1: enforcements and UM people started taking things a little bit
- 15:33Speaker 1: more seriously. Although I can't tell you until she was recovered,
- 15:37Speaker 1: how many times I have law enforcements say to me, oh,
- 15:40Speaker 1: she's out there, she'll turn up. She was spotted here,
- 15:42Speaker 1: she was spotted there. Um. Before we left town, we
- 15:46Speaker 1: hired a private investigator who continued to work on the case.
- 15:49Speaker 1: And actually it was through him and his radio show
- 15:52Speaker 1: locally that UM this suspect um there there became a
- 15:57Speaker 1: suspect in the case let me talk to you about them,
- 16:01Speaker 1: saying she'll turn up, she's been signed. Where where were
- 16:05Speaker 1: the signings? Carolina Beach on a bicycle at a hotel
- 16:10Speaker 1: room in Carolina Beach, downtown Wilmington's at two am in
- 16:14Speaker 1: the morning. I can remember we went to Wilmington as
- 16:18Speaker 1: all the bars uh let out at two am at
- 16:20Speaker 1: last call in downtown on the riverfront, handing our flyers
- 16:24Speaker 1: looking for my sister because again that was another place
- 16:27Speaker 1: that she had been seen. So it was all different
- 16:30Speaker 1: types of place. What do you make of those signings,
- 16:32Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum um, I remember in so many cases that
- 16:37Speaker 1: there are signings, and sometimes they're even photos. I remember
- 16:40Speaker 1: when we were looking for one us. She was such
- 16:42Speaker 1: the cutest little girl, and there was a signing at
- 16:45Speaker 1: and you know, a play area within a mall in
- 16:48Speaker 1: one of those ball pits, and you know what I'm
- 16:51Speaker 1: talking about, those ball pits. My children would just dive
- 16:53Speaker 1: into them and all I could see was a bunch
- 16:54Speaker 1: of journeys. But um, then I'd have to dive in
- 16:58Speaker 1: after them and drag him out. Any Way, the little
- 17:02Speaker 1: girl they thought was in a ball pit and the
- 17:04Speaker 1: person that she took the girl's picture and sent it in.
- 17:06Speaker 1: I remember putting it on the show because it looked
- 17:10Speaker 1: so much like the missing girl. It was not her,
- 17:14Speaker 1: and the girl's parents called in. The police didn't checked
- 17:16Speaker 1: it out, and it looked so much like her, it
- 17:20Speaker 1: was not her, and that happened. I think that happened
- 17:25Speaker 1: in the Kelly Anthony case. I mean it goes on
- 17:27Speaker 1: and on and on. People good hearted, people hearted truly
- 17:30Speaker 1: believe they see the person. So what do you make
- 17:32Speaker 1: of these sighting Sharyl? Again, common sense needs to play
- 17:36Speaker 1: a role here. Nancy Alison had no money, she had
- 17:40Speaker 1: not used a credit card. She had not showed up
- 17:43Speaker 1: anywhere like at a hospital for help or contacted her
- 17:46Speaker 1: husband or her family. So her being on a bicycle
- 17:50Speaker 1: makes no sense. She's not just riding around on a bicycle,
- 17:54Speaker 1: not contacted anybody. Um and the police instead of listening
- 18:00Speaker 1: to her siblings and her father are saying and she
- 18:03Speaker 1: would just show up. She's just taken a few days
- 18:05Speaker 1: off from being a parent. That's insane. That was not her,
- 18:08Speaker 1: m O. They didn't listen. You know what if anybody
- 18:12Speaker 1: tells you I'm taking a day off of me and
- 18:13Speaker 1: a parent. You need to start the search absolutely that
- 18:18Speaker 1: minute that no, pot, I'll start running up and down
- 18:21Speaker 1: the streets calling my name. Okay, So how did you
- 18:24Speaker 1: take that, Lisa Valentino For them to say, oh, she's
- 18:28Speaker 1: just taking a break, did that make sense to you? No,
- 18:32Speaker 1: and I and I absolutely told them that. I said
- 18:34Speaker 1: to them, I know my sister and if she was
- 18:38Speaker 1: leaving town or going to hang out somewhere or wherever
- 18:43Speaker 1: once she you know, she would have taken her children
- 18:45Speaker 1: with her and to be missing this long now, she
- 18:48Speaker 1: would have called one of us and said, I'm okay,
- 18:51Speaker 1: this is where I am. You know, don't worry about me,
- 18:55Speaker 1: because she was constantly in contact with us. And it's just,
- 18:59Speaker 1: you know, really it's very upsetting because you know, over
- 19:03Speaker 1: these years, that's one of the things I've discovered to
- 19:05Speaker 1: law enforcement needs to listen to the people who know
- 19:09Speaker 1: um then that's and that's the family. And we told
- 19:12Speaker 1: them over and over again. So it's very frustrated because
- 19:17Speaker 1: it made you feel like they're not looking. What did
- 19:19Speaker 1: you and your family do to try and find Allison.
- 19:24Speaker 1: We hit the street, we we hang up flyers, we
- 19:28Speaker 1: connect with the Missing Person Organization QUE. We were here
- 19:32Speaker 1: for ten days on the ground, enrollmented, we do news interviews,
- 19:36Speaker 1: um and anything we can just to get the word out,
- 19:40Speaker 1: and we try to convince law enforcement you know that
- 19:44Speaker 1: this is this is an issue. It's not going away.
- 19:47Speaker 1: And again we hire a private investigator before we leave
- 19:51Speaker 1: because we weren't confident that law enforcement was doing the
- 19:55Speaker 1: right thing. Can you imagine being there at the King
- 19:59Speaker 1: Coast or whatever it was at the time, trying to
- 20:02Speaker 1: print off flyers, trying to make your own flyers, um it,
- 20:07Speaker 1: just standing there wondering what happened to her as the
- 20:11Speaker 1: xerox machine goes and you don't. I've often thought of that,
- 20:16Speaker 1: what do you do? And I've told this story million times.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Go ahead and try to stop me. I remember standing
- 20:21Speaker 1: in Babies or Us. It's like a huge baby superstore,
- 20:24Speaker 1: looking because some mom at the at the pool had
- 20:28Speaker 1: put me on a guilt trip. She said she made
- 20:30Speaker 1: her own organic sunscreen. And I'm like, oh, I'm a
- 20:36Speaker 1: piece of crap. Okay, So I go and try to
- 20:39Speaker 1: find sunscreen that doesn't have chemicals in it. Right. So
- 20:46Speaker 1: I'm standing there and John, Dave and Lucy have just
- 20:49Speaker 1: they're walking fairly well, they're little, they're just above my knees,
- 20:54Speaker 1: and they're right behind me. And of course what I'm
- 20:57Speaker 1: looking for is on the very bottom row. Okay, So
- 21:00Speaker 1: I'm all down on there trying to dig around, and
- 21:04Speaker 1: then I can't find anything like that, and I stand
- 21:07Speaker 1: up and I go, okay, come on, and Lucy takes
- 21:09Speaker 1: my hand, and so John David and I turned around.
- 21:12Speaker 1: He was gone that fast, and that feeling that went
- 21:18Speaker 1: over me, I've never forgotten it. And you know what
- 21:23Speaker 1: I did. I screened bloody murder. Somebody took my baby.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as an ex cheerleader, I let
- 21:31Speaker 1: it grip and honey, they locked those doors and all
- 21:35Speaker 1: h g double Ale broke loose. Of course you know
- 21:37Speaker 1: where he was running like a wild animal, up and
- 21:41Speaker 1: down an aisle, like three aisles over with some something
- 21:45Speaker 1: in his hand. I don't even know what. It's something
- 21:47Speaker 1: he had grabbed off down. But that moment when you
- 21:50Speaker 1: don't know what to do. Can you even imagine if
- 21:55Speaker 1: one of your two went missing? What what did you?
- 21:57Speaker 1: Would be insane? It needs to hear that you've got
- 22:00Speaker 1: a family that's hitting the streets in these bad areas
- 22:04Speaker 1: there's this underbelly to crime, and law enforcement is also
- 22:08Speaker 1: very bad about not going to the source. Well, you know,
- 22:13Speaker 1: in the day, you and I would have gone in
- 22:15Speaker 1: the cut in a heartbeat of Zone three or zone
- 22:18Speaker 1: You're going to have to tell everybody what the cut is, Okay,
- 22:21Speaker 1: everyone doesn't know our alternate language. Go ahead, sorry. Um,
- 22:26Speaker 1: like a really bad street in the ghetto that you
- 22:29Speaker 1: go in one way and you can't really come back out,
- 22:31Speaker 1: you know, is that in the same way? You know,
- 22:32Speaker 1: it's interesting, sure what I was prosecuted. It never failed.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I would finally be tramping through some horrible area of
- 22:41Speaker 1: town with my investigator Earnest either with me or I
- 22:44Speaker 1: just finally just gave up with him fussing at me
- 22:47Speaker 1: not to go to these places and gone on my own,
- 22:49Speaker 1: and I would be tramping around and it never failed.
- 22:53Speaker 1: It would always be in the cut, the cut through
- 22:56Speaker 1: the short cut, That's what I'm saying. And it would
- 22:59Speaker 1: be somewhere you don't want to go. And I can
- 23:02Speaker 1: just imagine this family out there beating on the doors,
- 23:08Speaker 1: and I remember Cheryl beating on the door and open
- 23:11Speaker 1: it up and to be a crack house or you know,
- 23:15Speaker 1: worse anyway, that that's what happens. Where did you guys go,
- 23:21Speaker 1: Lisa Valentine though, in your search to find Alice, Well,
- 23:25Speaker 1: believe it or not, we were. We were in those
- 23:28Speaker 1: some of those areas and homes. And like I said,
- 23:31Speaker 1: we became fortunate in that when we got other people involved,
- 23:35Speaker 1: we had someone who knew what they were doing, and
- 23:37Speaker 1: so when we were hitting those areas, it wasn't really us. So,
- 23:40Speaker 1: I mean we went everywhere. We searched all over this town,
- 23:43Speaker 1: which is not very big, but it's not very small,
- 23:46Speaker 1: and from downtown at the riverfront, at bars at two am,
- 23:51Speaker 1: to the worst neighborhoods to uh homeless shelters, um, you know,
- 23:58Speaker 1: everywhere that you can't imagine trying to get some answers,
- 24:05Speaker 1: um to these questions. So all along, what were police
- 24:08Speaker 1: telling you? Were they still convinced she had just taken
- 24:12Speaker 1: the powder and left? Were they starting to look at
- 24:15Speaker 1: the possibility of abduction or homicide? Homicide never came up
- 24:19Speaker 1: on our first trip down here. Um. Subsequently, after we
- 24:23Speaker 1: left the first time, I in turn kind of became
- 24:25Speaker 1: the family's folkesmen and traveled back and forth quite often.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Uh well, Uh, the detective of the investigator switched on
- 24:33Speaker 1: the case almost immediately because they went on vacation, which
- 24:36Speaker 1: was good because we didn't even have a homicide detective
- 24:38Speaker 1: on the case. Originally we had embezzlement and fraud investigators
- 24:43Speaker 1: on a missing person as they didn't believe that there
- 24:48Speaker 1: was foul play or that she was missing. I mean,
- 24:51Speaker 1: I'm laughing now, but it's it's extremely sad. It's just incredulous.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, I couldn't believe it. So we got
- 24:59Speaker 1: a new detective on case. He was a homicide detective,
- 25:02Speaker 1: but he actually was not much better. Um, he really
- 25:05Speaker 1: didn't believe that she was missing either. He thought she
- 25:08Speaker 1: had left of her own course. And Guys, again, Cheryl,
- 25:12Speaker 1: I do not want to be in the position of
- 25:14Speaker 1: trashing the cops. And I'll tell you why. Some of
- 25:16Speaker 1: the most decent and honest people I have ever known
- 25:20Speaker 1: and the most hardworking have been police officers. Question and
- 25:26Speaker 1: you know they there are some bad ones. I know that,
- 25:29Speaker 1: and they make all of them look bad. But that's
- 25:32Speaker 1: simply not true. I have seen them out beating the
- 25:35Speaker 1: streets right beside me. I remember working cases for months
- 25:40Speaker 1: on end. We would go out every single day in
- 25:43Speaker 1: the rain, in the cold, looking in flop houses and
- 25:47Speaker 1: brothels and doped ins, you name it, trying to find witnesses,
- 25:52Speaker 1: trying to find victims, working through the night, having going
- 25:56Speaker 1: out and having to arrest witnesses that we're afraid to
- 25:59Speaker 1: come the core, you name it. So cops in my
- 26:03Speaker 1: mind are good? Are there bad cops? Yes? Are there
- 26:06Speaker 1: cops out of their league? They don't have the training.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Like here you've got an embezzlement cops trying to find
- 26:11Speaker 1: a missing person. But I bet you, I I guarantee it.
- 26:14Speaker 1: They tried right. And I do want to say I
- 26:18Speaker 1: just I just do you want to say that the
- 26:20Speaker 1: investigator who has been on this case for the longest
- 26:22Speaker 1: amount of time, um, and who has really been awesome?
- 26:27Speaker 1: I mean, the guy who's been there for the longest
- 26:30Speaker 1: amount of time has been great and he he has
- 26:32Speaker 1: done his job. And so I just things have changed
- 26:36Speaker 1: in the Woman Can Police Department over these eleven years
- 26:38Speaker 1: that this case has been there. So so what were
- 26:41Speaker 1: they tell They were still sticking with the idea that
- 26:43Speaker 1: she had just disappeared? What about it? Cheryl? Oh, Yeah,
- 26:46Speaker 1: that's all they're thinking. And Nancy, I agree with you.
- 26:49Speaker 1: I mean, they're the fault of the earth people, but
- 26:51Speaker 1: they are human and sometimes once they make their mind up,
- 26:56Speaker 1: it's very difficult to get a police officer to think
- 26:58Speaker 1: differently again. They thought she ran off, they thought she
- 27:02Speaker 1: had been drinking, had an affair. Whatever, they weren't owned
- 27:06Speaker 1: this radar of this person could have been murdered. Did
- 27:10Speaker 1: you know about a recent law that could leave your

- 28:22Speaker 1: now where does the case stand right now? What do
- 28:25Speaker 1: we know at this moment about what happened to Alison?
- 28:30Speaker 1: With me Allison's sister, Lisa Valentino. Lisa, do you recall
- 28:35Speaker 1: learning that your sister's remains have been found? Absolutely? Well, Actually,
- 28:43Speaker 1: I got a phone call from the people that I've
- 28:46Speaker 1: been working with down here and saying you're gonna get
- 28:48Speaker 1: a call tomorrow from law enforcement. It's breaking all over
- 28:51Speaker 1: down here that remains have been found, and I'm I
- 28:54Speaker 1: want to just warn you that you know, we believe
- 28:56Speaker 1: it's your sister. And I just I remember I was
- 29:00Speaker 1: lying in bed, it was eleven o'clock at night, and
- 29:02Speaker 1: I just was uh in shock. On the one hand, um,
- 29:07Speaker 1: I was finally grateful to have some answers as to
- 29:10Speaker 1: where Alison was, even though I really knew in my
- 29:13Speaker 1: heart where she was. But on the other hand, I,
- 29:16Speaker 1: I just you know, tremendous sadness, and just you know,
- 29:20Speaker 1: I I had no words, I had no words, and UM,
- 29:25Speaker 1: sure enough, the next day we do get a phone call. However,
- 29:28Speaker 1: they couldn't identify that it was definitely my sister. UM.
- 29:32Speaker 1: That that process took from April to September because we
- 29:36Speaker 1: had to have her confirmed through d n a UM
- 29:39Speaker 1: as we had no dental records, couldn't find current ventil
- 29:42Speaker 1: or any type of vential records. UM. But I knew too.
- 29:46Speaker 1: They sent me pictures of jewelry that was found on
- 29:48Speaker 1: the body, and I knew that the jewelry was my sisters.
- 29:50Speaker 1: I knew it was her. UM. What was the jewelry?
- 29:54Speaker 1: M A ring and a necklace UM of hers that
- 30:00Speaker 1: was founded? What was so distinctive about it? What was
- 30:03Speaker 1: distinctive that made you know it was her? I had
- 30:06Speaker 1: just seen Alison prior to her disappearance, and I just
- 30:10Speaker 1: I know that ring and the necklace that she had on.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I just knew they were hers because I had I
- 30:14Speaker 1: had seen them on her. UM. I had seen them
- 30:18Speaker 1: on her previously when she had come to my house
- 30:21Speaker 1: too for a visit, which was the last time I
- 30:23Speaker 1: had seen her, so I knew it was her. But
- 30:27Speaker 1: again there again too. I gotta tell you, this crazy
- 30:29Speaker 1: thing that happens is the whole while, even when I
- 30:32Speaker 1: knew it was her and we're reading for confirmation of Vienna,
- 30:35Speaker 1: there's still that little incretin maybe they're wrong, maybe they're wrong,
- 30:39Speaker 1: you know, And then you get the call you wanted
- 30:43Speaker 1: to believe. You know. I did the same thing in
- 30:46Speaker 1: my head. I was making up all sorts of reasons
- 30:49Speaker 1: why Keith's family was calling me, and I almost convinced
- 30:53Speaker 1: myself by the time I could get back to the
- 30:55Speaker 1: phone that there had been a car crash and he
- 30:58Speaker 1: was alive and if I could hurry, I could get
- 31:00Speaker 1: to and fix it. And it wasn't until I saw
- 31:03Speaker 1: it was my pastor actually uh that nobody was home,
- 31:07Speaker 1: And I saw a car at the church and pulled
- 31:09Speaker 1: in to use the phone that was before cell phones,
- 31:12Speaker 1: and ran in. He happened to be there, and he called.
- 31:15Speaker 1: I was on the other side of his desk and
- 31:18Speaker 1: I read upside down Bernstein's funeral home. And it wasn't
- 31:22Speaker 1: until he got off the phone that I knew Keith
- 31:25Speaker 1: had been shot dead. So you try to tell yourself.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Maybe this maybe that when did you come to the
- 31:31Speaker 1: realization she had been kidnapped and murdered. I think it
- 31:35Speaker 1: all finally set in when we got the definite d
- 31:38Speaker 1: NA back in September of that year. Um. For me,
- 31:43Speaker 1: that phone call is I had all of this emotion
- 31:46Speaker 1: and that's when it was finally all released. Um. And
- 31:50Speaker 1: and that's when it really when it really hit me
- 31:53Speaker 1: that this was it. This, this had happened, and she
- 31:57Speaker 1: was no longer here and she met a brutally violent
- 32:00Speaker 1: unto her wife, but she really did not deserve share all.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Weigh in. Tell me about the discovery of Alison Foy's
- 32:11Speaker 1: body and what does it mean for insically, Well, she
- 32:14Speaker 1: was stabbed over forty times, Nancy in the front and
- 32:18Speaker 1: the back of her chest and her back. Um. The
- 32:22Speaker 1: disposal site was off Carolina Beach Road, so it's off
- 32:26Speaker 1: kind of a main thoroughfare. But it's in this little COVID,
- 32:30Speaker 1: this little wooded area, and it was in the open.
- 32:33Speaker 1: She hadn't been buried or anything like that, which is
- 32:35Speaker 1: critical to me. Um. And why why do you say that,
- 32:40Speaker 1: I think the same thing. Why is it very important
- 32:43Speaker 1: her body was not built because again she's found with
- 32:47Speaker 1: another person. So you've got two victims in the exact
- 32:51Speaker 1: same area feet apart, and that the fact they weren't
- 32:54Speaker 1: buried but they have been put there um a year apart,
- 32:59Speaker 1: tells me that this killer is not only very familiar
- 33:02Speaker 1: with that area, he's very comfortable in that area, meaning
- 33:06Speaker 1: he probably revisits often and somehow he's able to do
- 33:11Speaker 1: it unseen, which tells you another thing about him. He
- 33:15Speaker 1: can go around town and nobody focuses on him for
- 33:18Speaker 1: some reason. So for example, you know, you see a
- 33:22Speaker 1: mail carrier truck, You see it, but you don't really
- 33:24Speaker 1: see it because you're used to seeing them. You can
- 33:26Speaker 1: dismiss that. You can dismiss FedEx or a piece of
- 33:30Speaker 1: delivery guy or a cable company truck because you just whatever.
- 33:34Speaker 1: So the primary suspect drives a taxicab, so again, he
- 33:39Speaker 1: can part different places. He can basically hide in plain sight.
- 33:44Speaker 1: So those things are connected to me, they're obvious to
- 33:46Speaker 1: me in that regard. For over two years, Lisa Valentino
- 33:51Speaker 1: suspected her sister was dead and ask friends and strangers,
- 33:56Speaker 1: please don't give up trying to learn what happened to
- 33:59Speaker 1: my sister. Her then she learns DNA testing confirms her sister,
- 34:05Speaker 1: Alison Foy, just thirty four years old, is one of
- 34:09Speaker 1: two women whose bones were found in the woods off
- 34:14Speaker 1: Carolina Beach Road. What do you know about that area,
- 34:19Speaker 1: Lisa Valentino, Carolina Beach Road? Is it um far? Is
- 34:24Speaker 1: it remote? Is it heavily wooded? Is it near a
- 34:27Speaker 1: trash dunk? What is actually what we have discovered about
- 34:31Speaker 1: the area was used as a kind of cut through area,
- 34:35Speaker 1: um a lot and also as a sex area at
- 34:39Speaker 1: the crime scene. There were dozens and dozens of condoms
- 34:42Speaker 1: and it was a place that people would go to
- 34:46Speaker 1: have sex. Um there there was a one restaurant. I
- 34:50Speaker 1: wonder if they took I wonder if they took the condoms.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum. Just in the remote possibility that not that
- 34:59Speaker 1: I think I kill slash rapist is going to use
- 35:02Speaker 1: the condom, but just in case, you never never right, No,
- 35:07Speaker 1: But Nancy, I had a chance to walk that promising
- 35:10Speaker 1: with Lisa Valentino. Tell me, and it's amazing to me
- 35:13Speaker 1: the track and the debris that is still there. And
- 35:16Speaker 1: I'm like you, you know, you might want to go back,
- 35:18Speaker 1: and you know, scavenge again every now and then, Well
- 35:21Speaker 1: didn't they find she was wearing a pink sleeveless top.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Didn't they find that there? Yeah? Well absolutely not. Not
- 35:29Speaker 1: only did they find that's my I forgot how many
- 35:33Speaker 1: months later was actually six weeks. Six weeks later, I
- 35:37Speaker 1: went back to visit the site, even though it wasn't
- 35:40Speaker 1: confirmed that that was my sister, but just because I
- 35:43Speaker 1: felt I had to be there and see it and
- 35:45Speaker 1: the problem. Entering the site, there were more, there were bones, sounds.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I was with my friend that he's like, what's this crime?
- 35:52Speaker 1: Seem how to come back? And they ended up being
- 35:54Speaker 1: more remains of my sister six weeks initially after she
- 35:57Speaker 1: was already recovered. Okay, that is very upsetting to me, Cheryl,
- 36:02Speaker 1: that like they was placed there has to come and
- 36:06Speaker 1: find her sister's bones. That is that's bad for a
- 36:11Speaker 1: civilian to come in unearthed bones. Where were the bones,
- 36:16Speaker 1: Lisa Valentino, That's bad. It's almost like they were never
- 36:21Speaker 1: like it was almost like somebody knew I was in
- 36:24Speaker 1: town how because often the press would you know, the
- 36:27Speaker 1: media would say I was coming back and we were
- 36:30Speaker 1: meeting press actually to do an interview and we had
- 36:33Speaker 1: gotten there before then, and they were just laying on
- 36:37Speaker 1: top of leaves and pine um needles as if someone
- 36:41Speaker 1: had placed them there almost like that is scary. That
- 36:46Speaker 1: is very scary that either a the crime scene text
- 36:51Speaker 1: didn't find it from the Medical Examiner's office as well,
- 36:53Speaker 1: or be someone had placed that there. Isn't this behind
- 36:58Speaker 1: a Mexican restaurant was closed. There's like a narrow strip
- 37:02Speaker 1: of woods behind the Meskin restaurant. Uh to describe the
- 37:06Speaker 1: scene a little bit more, Cheryl McCollum, Nancy, it's right
- 37:10Speaker 1: off the road. So here you have this Mexican restaurant.
- 37:13Speaker 1: It's got like a driveway that you pull in. You
- 37:16Speaker 1: can park right there, and there's a patch of graph
- 37:18Speaker 1: that you can easily chip a golf ball across. It's
- 37:21Speaker 1: not far and you then you in this little wooded
- 37:24Speaker 1: line of trees. It's not a huge wooded area, but
- 37:27Speaker 1: it's it's enough trees to give cover. And then there's
- 37:31Speaker 1: this little divid there's a COVID there and that's where
- 37:34Speaker 1: the bodies were. Um. But I'll tell you something that
- 37:36Speaker 1: was fascinating to me when we were at the crime scene.
- 37:39Speaker 1: I got Lisa to take me to the pub. I
- 37:42Speaker 1: mean it's right there. I mean it's three and a
- 37:44Speaker 1: half miles. And then from the crime scene to where
- 37:47Speaker 1: the main suspect lived. This is something that stuck out.
- 37:51Speaker 1: There's a cell phone tower right at the crime scene,
- 37:55Speaker 1: the body disposal site. As she's driving me to the
- 37:58Speaker 1: main suspects home. Every now and then I look up,
- 38:01Speaker 1: I can still see that tower. I can still see it.
- 38:04Speaker 1: I can still see it from his driveway. As the
- 38:07Speaker 1: crow flies, you can see that tower. So again, to me,
- 38:12Speaker 1: if somebody wanted to revisit, often straight out of their
- 38:15Speaker 1: backyard is a good way to do it, because at
- 38:17Speaker 1: this site you had no posing of victims, You had
- 38:20Speaker 1: no staging of the victims. That was no ritual. This
- 38:23Speaker 1: was literally where they were placed. He appears to me
- 38:28Speaker 1: to be like a hunter type killer um opportunistic in
- 38:32Speaker 1: a way, like he's gonna use his cab. Once they
- 38:35Speaker 1: get in the cab, he's in control. Now. It's my
- 38:41Speaker 1: understanding also that a search then ensued and at once
- 38:47Speaker 1: her bones were identified. Uh. And that was several months later.
- 38:51Speaker 1: About five months later, a search goes down of a
- 38:55Speaker 1: man that had been accused of raping a prostitute, is
- 38:59Speaker 1: that at Cheryl? Correct? What happened? Well, the third victim
- 39:06Speaker 1: now comes forward, and you know they're telling this story
- 39:11Speaker 1: that he took me here to this restaurant, he beat me.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Um somehow she's able to escate him, and it becomes
- 39:18Speaker 1: the primary suspect and these other two murders, and again
- 39:24Speaker 1: he takes why why why did he become a suspect?
- 39:27Speaker 1: He gets another woman, he beats her, he assaults her.
- 39:30Speaker 1: How did he then get tied into Alison? Took her
- 39:34Speaker 1: to the same place, the same Mexican restaurant, the same area,
- 39:38Speaker 1: same cab, same time of day. How how is he
- 39:42Speaker 1: a legitimate cab driver? He legitimate cab driver, but he
- 39:47Speaker 1: does a twist. Instead of using the cab company phone number,
- 39:52Speaker 1: he uses his private cell phone number. And so what
- 39:55Speaker 1: law enforce have found? Afterwards? They interviewed a lot of
- 39:58Speaker 1: the prostitutes in town. They all knew we and they said, yeah,
- 40:02Speaker 1: we would all you know, call him on his cell phone.
- 40:04Speaker 1: He would come pick us up and if we didn't
- 40:06Speaker 1: have money for a ride, he would give us a
- 40:08Speaker 1: ride in exchange for a sexual favor. So they would,
- 40:11Speaker 1: But how well, I don't understand when Alan, when Alison
- 40:14Speaker 1: calls a cab. How did she didn't call somebody's private
- 40:17Speaker 1: cell number, did she? And this guy walks in and says,
- 40:20Speaker 1: who asked for a cab? Right the bar if I may,
- 40:27Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The bar all knew him, and what they
- 40:30Speaker 1: would do down here is and he was this suspect
- 40:34Speaker 1: was actually off beauty. And this is how cab drivers
- 40:37Speaker 1: down here at the time would make extra money. They
- 40:39Speaker 1: called his private cell phone and said there's a fair here,
- 40:43Speaker 1: and he would come and pick them up there. Their
- 40:46Speaker 1: taxis at the time didn't even go back to the
- 40:48Speaker 1: company's when they're done driving. They keep them at their home.
- 40:53Speaker 1: So that is how it happened that a part of
- 40:56Speaker 1: his m O nancy. It's totally on the books. The
- 40:59Speaker 1: cab company could in tail law enforcement when he picked
- 41:01Speaker 1: up a fair where he dropped off a fair because
- 41:04Speaker 1: they didn't know, he didn't tell them he could do
- 41:06Speaker 1: it at all on his own. So tell me this
- 41:10Speaker 1: the one woman who lived to tell the tale. After
- 41:14Speaker 1: he takes her too, I guess behind is the Mexican
- 41:17Speaker 1: restaurant closed? I understood it was shuddered. Is it working again?
- 41:23Speaker 1: Still closed? So he takes her back to this burial ground,
- 41:27Speaker 1: so to speak, as she manages to get away. Correct
- 41:30Speaker 1: she actually, I think I think what happened was and
- 41:34Speaker 1: and was that he had pulled in to get a
- 41:37Speaker 1: soda somewhere and she was duct tape. And I think
- 41:40Speaker 1: that's what happened. Somehow did you say, did you say
- 41:43Speaker 1: duct tape? His duck? Paperhands? Where duct tape? She manages
- 41:49Speaker 1: to kick and somehow get out of the van and
- 41:52Speaker 1: run across the street, and someone calls law enforcement and
- 41:55Speaker 1: that and and they arrest him, and um, you know,
- 41:59Speaker 1: they speak with her. But unfortunately what happens is at
- 42:01Speaker 1: the time this woman um who was living this slafe,
- 42:06Speaker 1: was frightened and had been doing drugs. And she never
- 42:08Speaker 1: shows up for her quartet. And so we are talking
- 42:13Speaker 1: about I'm gonna go ahead and put his name out there.
- 42:16Speaker 1: It's Timothy ian One, a former Ports City cab driver.
- 42:21Speaker 1: That's who we're talking about. So because she had been
- 42:24Speaker 1: using drugs, she didn't want to come to court. What
- 42:27Speaker 1: happened then, Cheryl, he took a plea and it was
- 42:29Speaker 1: reduced to almost nothing. But again, now you've got not
- 42:33Speaker 1: just a parallel investigation, but you mean a plea for
- 42:37Speaker 1: the molestation or the assault on the woman who had
- 42:41Speaker 1: been duckt taped, but because she used drugs, didn't come
- 42:44Speaker 1: to create. And I believe the actual plea was for
- 42:46Speaker 1: like having sex in public or something. It was nothing originally, Okay,
- 42:52Speaker 1: So then what you had this parallel case going on
- 42:54Speaker 1: with Alison and Angela, the two victims found in the
- 42:58Speaker 1: wooded area, But now you have a third victim. So
- 43:01Speaker 1: by any accounts, Nancy, you're talking about a serial killer,
- 43:05Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about because he which means they're
- 43:08Speaker 1: likely other victims. That tell me what you know about
- 43:12Speaker 1: the other victim, Cheryl Angela. Well, Angela was also a
- 43:16Speaker 1: prostitute at the time. Um, she was living you know,
- 43:19Speaker 1: that lifestyle as well. She may there's some belief that
- 43:23Speaker 1: she may have also been familiar with Timothy Ione and
- 43:28Speaker 1: you know, may have Willie got in the car with
- 43:29Speaker 1: him for a ride before he also assaulted and murdered her.
- 43:33Speaker 1: So again there's these these you know, victims that didn't
- 43:37Speaker 1: get the attention that possibly they should have. Alison did,
- 43:42Speaker 1: and that's the great news. Her family was there. She didn't.
- 43:46Speaker 1: Where does it stand now, Cheryl, It's it's still open
- 43:49Speaker 1: being investigated Nancy. We're trying to get the d A
- 43:53Speaker 1: to take this case to the grand jury. That's our
- 43:56Speaker 1: number one request at this time. He's got an enough
- 44:00Speaker 1: Can I ask you what if anything actually links him
- 44:05Speaker 1: other than the third witness who did not come to
- 44:07Speaker 1: court to these two women. Can anybody in the bar
- 44:11Speaker 1: identify him as coming in saying who needs a cab?
- 44:15Speaker 1: Can anybody say I called a cell number to come
- 44:18Speaker 1: pick her up? Can do we have any witness like that? Well?
- 44:24Speaker 1: We do, we do. We don't have someone for sure
- 44:27Speaker 1: who could say with him. There's been sketches done. There
- 44:29Speaker 1: have been other people have come forward and said they
- 44:32Speaker 1: saw a cad pulled up in the woods um with
- 44:35Speaker 1: parts one night. I mean, there's a ton if I
- 44:38Speaker 1: if I could just say this law enforcement believe this
- 44:43Speaker 1: is the guy. I think everybody here believes this is
- 44:47Speaker 1: the guy. And there's so much circumstantial evidence. But unfortunately
- 44:51Speaker 1: there's no DNA evidence blinking him uh to the scene.
- 44:57Speaker 1: And I I know in my heart was and it happened?
- 45:00Speaker 1: Is this is it? I've basically been told. Unless short
- 45:03Speaker 1: of a miracle or a confession or anything else, there's
- 45:07Speaker 1: no you know, this is where this is where it
- 45:10Speaker 1: kind of ends. Even with a new witness over the
- 45:13Speaker 1: last year, who was another camp driver who finally came
- 45:15Speaker 1: forward and said I saw him at the bar. So yes,
- 45:19Speaker 1: do you have that? There was a new witness who
- 45:21Speaker 1: stepped forward with more information. But that's not enough either.
- 45:25Speaker 1: That's not enough. We need your help. We need your
- 45:28Speaker 1: help to solve the murder of Alison Foy, along with
