In January 2022, a welfare check at a quiet apartment on 11th Street NW in Canton, Ohio, uncovered a brutal scene. 26-year-old Tiara Janae Burch was found unresponsive on the floor of her home. She had been stabbed multiple times. What began as a routine call quickly became a homicide investigation that would expose a calculated break-in, robbery, and killing.

1
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.119
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast. Or I tell

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.480
stories of real crimes with real victims whose cases are

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.119
so shocking that many are left wondering how is this

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:24.920
even real? I use my experiences in law enforcement corrections,

5
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.039
and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator,

6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.719
dig deep into complex cases of evil acts, some so

7
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:52.679
evil many feel they are unspeakable. Warning. Unspeakable as intended

8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.719
for mature audiences. If you are easily offended, then I'm

9
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.960
not your girl. Listening discretion is advised. Hey y'all, kJ

10
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.799
you're back with another episode of Unspeakable. How's it going?

11
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.280
I have got to do a shout out today. I

12
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.560
was so tickled. I was doing a school event and

13
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.280
I ran into someone that is a teacher in our

14
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.280
parish and he was just so tickled. He said that

15
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.599
he listens to my show, and so his name was

16
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.359
John BeO and I have to say hey, John, because

17
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.760
you were just so excited. He seems so excited to

18
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.359
say hello to me. And he's a new uh. This

19
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.079
is a new year for him as a pe coach

20
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.319
at this school locally, and I just want to wish

21
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.040
him a very fantastic year this year I know you're

22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.280
gonna do great things. And then I also on that

23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.079
want to say hey to John BeO Senior, who is

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.159
his dad. He told me that his dad is the

25
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.480
one that turned him onto the show to begin with.

26
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.200
So first of all, you have an awesome dad who

27
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.200
has a great taste in podcasts. But I really appreciate

28
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.560
you guys and I and it was it was fun

29
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.159
to meet you and that just tickled my heart. So

30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.719
I want to tell you hey, John Senior and John Junior.

31
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.519
I'm waving at y'all and thank you so much for

32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.120
your local support. And then I'm gonna run all the

33
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.680
way over to prosper Texas where Michelle and I want

34
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.599
to say Reagan, but I don't know if it's Reagan.

35
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.799
You're gonna have to tell me, girl. But Michelle Reagan

36
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.960

37
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.400
about that. On give you your shout out, wave to

38
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.759
you and say, girl, I hope you're surviving all the

39
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.520
heat because it is hot everywhere. I know it's hot

40
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.560
in Texas. And then I'll round it off in Parma, Idaho,

41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.719
where Miss Patricia Bivens is hanging out and she is

42
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.039
doing her thing. How you doing, miss pat what's going

43
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.240
on with you over there in Idaho? I hope that

44
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.000
things are going great, and I appreciate you more than

45
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.319
ever for supporting the show and helping me do what

46
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.560
I do. I'm having a great time telling you all

47
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.560
these stories. And to that note, I want to tell

48
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.319
y'all this so if you don't know, I know that

49
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.639
I mentioned Patreon at the beginning of the show, and

50
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.439
I tell y'all that y'all can go check that out.

51
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.479
I want to be very very clear that Patreon has

52
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.080
free option, y'all. It's not all paid. There's a free option.

53
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.520
There's pictures on there, there's things that I post, and

54
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.599
all sorts of stuff that you can see without having

55
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.680
to do a paid plan. But I got a very

56
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.400
nasty message from a lady who was upset with me

57
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.639
recently because she said that I am pushing Patreon too

58
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.360
much and that did I ever consider that she may

59
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.919
want to see things without having to join and she

60
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.039
doesn't want to have to pay for it. Okay, well, girl,

61
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.840
I hear you. I totally hear you. I just can't

62
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.560
show you pictures in audio format. I don't have that

63
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.759
opportunity because it's audio, So that is what Patreon's about.

64
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.439
It is my posting board to show you things and

65
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.400
to talk about the episodes and talk with people and

66
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.439
post pictures and additional stories. So I do make a

67
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.400
living doing this. I hope that you understand that the

68
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.520
paid versions are what support me in my job. I

69
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.360
invest a whole lot of time, a whole lot of

70
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.560
work and effort into writing these episodes, and I'm sure

71
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.759
you out there get paid to do your job, and

72
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.960
I would love to get paid to do my job.

73
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.719
I hope that everybody understands that. But if you don't

74
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.400
want to join, that's okay. You're getting this free on

75
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.680
all listening platforms. There's commercials, and if you don't mind that,

76
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.879
then you get it for free, no harm, no foul.

77
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.840
If you want it commercial free and early release and

78
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.560
you'd like to get more extras, then you can join Patreon,

79

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.159
much to my supporters that have joined, but also thank

81
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.600
you so much to the people that listen that they're

82
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.040
not joining. I appreciate you just as much, and everybody

83
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.600
is making my dreams come true, no matter where you

84
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.040
are and how you decide to support the show. I

85
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.240
want to remind you also, I'll be at Springfest in

86
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.560
Denim Springs in October, so mark your calendars. It is

87
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.680
a sold out event as far as booths and vendors go,

88
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.079
so it's sure to be a great one full of

89
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.600
people and things and events. I will be there. I'll

90
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.480
have swag t shirts and all that. I'll sign whatever

91
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.720
you want and I'll take pictures. So come on out

92
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.600
free event and I'd love to see you in person

93
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.000
and get to hug your neck and take a picture.

94
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.279
All right, So let's jump into this episode, and this

95
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.839
is going to take us to Ohio and this is

96
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.680
going to be back in twenty twenty two, specifically the

97
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.519
Canton area, and we were twenty six year old. Tiera

98
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.639
Birch was a college student at Stark State College. Now

99
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.560
that is a community college, and it would prove to

100
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.279
be a perfect fit for Tierra because not only was

101
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.480
the school affordable, but it was one that was very

102
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:20.040
focused on industry based careers. That meant that there wasn't

103
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.680
as much theory and ideology and all of that that

104
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.600
you get on on big campuses for your universities. This

105
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.040
is more about skills and work based learning, and it

106
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.199
was heavily encouraged that this is a hands on type

107
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.759
of school where you get your education. One of the

108
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.000
things I love about schools like this is that the

109
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:45.519
faculty usually has industry based experience, which makes for much

110
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.480
more effective, in my opinion, effective teaching if you've actually

111
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.839
done it. But also you get these smaller classes the

112
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.360
teachers have done what they are teaching you to do.

113
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.319
And Tiera's focus was education. Y'all know that that's a

114
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.000
girl after my own heart. She dreamed of having her

115
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.920
own class and inspiring young minds to think, to not

116
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.560
just repeat what they see and what they hear, but

117
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.120
to think and to learn. She loved helping people. She

118
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.759
was an incredibly social person, so this was just a

119
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.759
natural fit for her. Her academics had been going really well.

120
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.079
She in high school had maintained a be average throughout

121
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.600
high school, and she was continuing to make her parents proud.

122
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.920
She already had a track record of success and this

123
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.120
dated back also to high school where she was an

124
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.680
avid swimmer and she was on the varsity team for

125
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.439
three years. And during the swim meets, if you went

126
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.800
and you were watching everyone knew that when it came

127
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.879
to the freestyle stroke, look out because Tiera was coming

128
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.439
in hot. The girl could swim. She had grit and

129
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.519
she had tenacity that pushed her like a machine. When

130
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.680
she was in the water and she was swimming, she

131
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.879
gave it everything that she had. But those days of competition,

132
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.120
those were now over and she was more profession focused

133
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.199
while focusing on school and becoming that professional that she

134
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.959
wanted to be. She also had met a guy that

135
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.920
caught her eye and his name was Vincent Ryan. And

136
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.680
while the physical attraction was absolutely there, there were things

137
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:29.360
that an outsider looking in might look at and say, well,

138
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.000
that might be a little bit less than desirable for

139
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:37.240
a girl like Tierra. So the relationship was rather new still,

140
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.959
they hadn't been dating very long, and because of this,

141
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.480
Tierra was really willing to overlook some of those flaws

142
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.199
for right now because she was just so smitten. And

143
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.480
don't we all do that. I'm not hating on that

144
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.240
we overlooked the obvious. When something is brand new and

145
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.399
someone is still intriguing and new and you're getting to

146
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.120
know them, you're willing to let it slide. She was

147
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.240
no different. She wanted to focus on his positive qualities

148
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.319
and for right now, he hung the moon. So it

149
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.079
was January twenty ninth when around six thirty in the morning,

150
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.560
Tiara texted her daddy to say, Daddy, I have COVID.

151
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.040
I'm not feeling good and I'm going to be at

152
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.120
home for the day. And being an absolute daddy's girl,

153
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.120
she wanted him to know, and he immediately was going

154
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.560
to do what all good daddies do. He told her,

155
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.439
baby girl, honker down, get you some rest. I know

156
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.959
you probably don't feel good, and as soon as I can,

157
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.120
I'll be there. He said, I'm going to bring you

158
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.039
some medicine and hopefully you can start feeling better pretty soon.

159
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.480
Now this alone was enough to settle her heart, because

160
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.200
Daddy always knew what to say. Any chance that she

161
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.559
could get to be around her. Daddy's name was mister Clarence.

162
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.080
Any chance that she could get to be around him

163
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.559
was one that she was gonna take. And even though

164
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.200
it was snowing outside and it was freezing, Daddy would

165
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.360
do anything for his baby girl, COVID or not, and

166
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.600
he would be on his way. He was her safety net.

167
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.879
He brought her comfort and all the things that a

168
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.960
girl needs, no matter how much she asked for, and

169
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.720
no matter how old she got, she knew that her

170
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.919
daddy would be there for her. And what a wonderful

171
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.679
thing to know in life that you have a man

172
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.440
that has your back no matter what. So he pulled

173
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.679
up to the house that that evening when he got

174
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.879
off of work, and his boots crunched through the snow

175
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.039
and he was hurrying up to her door, where he

176
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.480
finally got underneath the overhang and he was able to

177
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.759
stomp off his boots and get the snow off of them.

178
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.200
And she lived in this apartment complex. Hers was on

179
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.440
the on the floor level and she was just inside

180
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.720
the walkway. It wasn't very far of a walk for

181
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.080
him to get to her front door. So he got there.

182
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.039
He had knocked off his boots. He was nice and clean,

183
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.519
and that's whenever mister Clarence knocked on the door, boom boom, boom,

184
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.639
and he stepped back waiting for her to unlock it.

185
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.639
But Tierra didn't come to the door. So he was like, hmm,

186
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.799
she must be sleeping pretty hard. Remember COVID made you

187
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.720
sleep and you were so tired, And so he's like, Tierra.

188
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.120
You know, he's knocking on the door, and he kept knocking,

189
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.360
but without a key of his own, he wasn't going

190
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.320
to be going to be able to just go inside.

191
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.360
She would have to come answer the door. But again

192
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
she never came. He's like, what is that girl doing?

193
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.720
Maybe maybe she's in the shower, because if the shower

194
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.399
was running, she might not be able to hear him

195
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.200
over the water. So he kept knocking, kept knocking, and

196
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:29.840
then he's like, well, let me call her phone, maybe

197
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:34.320
she'll answer her phone. Dials her phone and it never

198
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.879
no one ever picked up. Matter of fact, when he

199
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.799
kept calling, the phone connected, but it would go straight

200
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:46.000
to voicemail. So he tried calling her over and over

201
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.080
and over again. He kept pounding on the door, pounding

202
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.399
a little harder, now you know, where are you? Girl

203
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.679
answered the door, but there was no answer, and he

204
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.919
started to get nervous. So because of this, he made

205
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.799
a phone call to a buddy hit Is to see

206
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.000
if maybe he had spoken or heard from Tierra, but

207
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.159
that also was a no. This was now getting Daddy

208
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.480
pretty pretty dang nervous, and the friend decided that he

209
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.840
would show up at the apartment to lend a hand

210
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.559
and a shoulder of support while they tried to figure

211
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.720
out what exactly was going on with his baby girl.

212
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:23.639
Tiera's brother, Tyresee, he also lived very close nearby. He

213
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.519
was beyond worried about his sister when he got the

214
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.480
phone call to see if he had possibly been in

215
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.919
touch with her, and so he showed up at the

216
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.519
apartment too, just full of worry, wondering what was going

217
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.440
on and hoping that his sister was okay. And we

218
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.159
need to think back. I know it hasn't been that long,

219
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.279
but we got to think back to COVID and how

220
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.240
it affected everybody differently. You never knew what you were

221
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.720
going to get when people caught the virus. Some people

222
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.200
just got a headache, some people couldn't taste anything. But

223
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.360
some people lost their lives. I mean I personally know

224
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:57.480
people that lost their lives because of this. And so

225
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.279
the unknown during that time was stressed well for everybody

226
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.360
that was involved. So nobody had spoken to her, nobody

227
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.480
could get in touch with her, And so they went

228
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.399
and they spoke to a couple of the neighbors and said, hey,

229
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.840
have you seen her, has Tierra come outside? Have you

230
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.960
spoken to her? Anything? But the neighbors had not seen her.

231
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.120
They hadn't seen her go anywhere either, come and go

232
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.600
as far as anyone knew. So that's whenever mister Clarence

233
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.799
made a call to Tiera's mama, and mama's name was

234
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.159
miss Yolanda, so she was at work whenever she received

235
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.879
this call, and when she picked it up, mister Clarence said, hey,

236
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.559
have you spoken to Tiera? And miss Yolanda said no,

237
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:41.480
we talked on Sunday, but not today. Why what's going on? Well,

238
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.679
let me insert something here for you real quick. For

239
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.919
mister Clarence to call Miss Yolanda in and of itself

240
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.519
wasn't very common because they did not have a good relationship.

241
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.960
They weren't married or anything like that, so they had

242
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.200
been excess a very long time. Mister Clarence was remarried

243
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.879
and so they really didn't speak anymore, especially now that

244
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.279
their kids were grown. It just was a different phase

245
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.279
of life. So the fact that he took it upon

246
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.240
himself to even call her was a bit alarming. When

247
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.120
the phone rang so instantly, she knew something was wrong

248
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:19.039
because Tiara would always call back. She would always call

249
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.960
back if she missed a call and the time that

250
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.120
it had been now, between calls and knocking on the

251
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.519
door and her brother trying her, this was not good

252
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.240
and she just knew in her gut something's amiss. So

253
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.919
she said, look, you know, maybe we need to call

254
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.200
nine one one. I think that's what we need to do.

255
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.279
Because she and mister Clarence talked and she found out

256
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:42.679
that Tiara's car was unlocked. It was still there, it

257
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.080
was parked right by the apartment, but it was unlocked.

258
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.720
And another thing that mom and dad knew was that

259
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:51.639
she never left her car unlocked. Never, even whenever she

260
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.600
would go over to her grandparents' house, their driveway was

261
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.759
right up to their door. Okay, I mean her car

262
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.320
she didn't have to park far off. But even when

263
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.639
she parked right in front of her grandparents else she

264
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.120
locked the door. They knew something here was not right,

265
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.159
so she said, call the police, Clarence, and he did

266
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.279
just that. He called the police and he said, I'm

267
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.120
calling for a welfare check. I can't get my daughter

268
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.159
to answer the door. I've been calling and I'm trying

269
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.080
to see if someone can help make entry into her apartment.

270
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.919
And his exact words were, I'm afraid that something is

271
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:27.080
really wrong here. This is not normal. So they said, yes, sir,

272
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.360
let's get the address, and they had officers respond right then.

273
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.639
So when the officers got there, they got out of

274
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.639
their unit and they greeted all of the men now

275
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.279
that were standing around mister Clarence Tyrese and the friend

276
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.000
that had shown up, and the men explained again real

277
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.759
quick what was going on, and Tyresee added, look, we

278
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.480
keep calling the phone. I've called the phone, but it's

279
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.840
going straight to voicemail at this point it's not ringing anymore,

280
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:55.080
and that this isn't normal for her. We're just concerned.

281
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.320
So they make it to the door and the police

282
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.960
start banging on the door, but they ounce who they are,

283
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.320
you know, Tierrace. The police answer answer, and they're knocking

284
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:10.120
pretty hard, but it was silent. No sound was coming

285
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.039
from the apartment, no response, no hang on, just dead silent.

286
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.200
So considering that it was very quiet, all they could

287
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.000
assume was that something else must be amiss here, right,

288
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.879
it can't be good. And so the door was this large,

289
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.200
solid brown one, but there was no window or anything

290
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.440
like that that they could peek into through the door,

291
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.240
so all they could do was bang on it. Well,

292
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.679
the issue at this point became making entry because not

293
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.000
answering the door. First of all, that's not illegal. She's

294
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.120
an adult, she doesn't have to answer her door. But secondly,

295
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.039
the police didn't have anything that was evident in that

296
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.120
moment to tell them that there was an issue. They

297
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.000
didn't see any forced entry or any blood or anything

298
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.639
like that that would give them the authority to break

299
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.759
down the door. It just was simply locked and she

300
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.840
was an answering So, following procedure and protocol here, they

301
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.279
would have to get a hold of the landlord to

302
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.679
gain access to the apartment, which would take a little

303
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.039
bit of time, but they were able to make contact

304
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.320
with him and he was en route. So although they

305
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.759
were all pretty nervous, the men just kind of stood

306
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.960
around and they all remained very cordial with one another,

307
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.919
just kind of making small talk and discussing the situation

308
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.399
and just kind of talking to bide some time. The

309
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.039
officers asked, well, does she have a boyfriend or anything

310
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.679
like that, and mister Clarence said, yes, she does have

311
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.360
a boyfriend. It's a newer one, but she does have

312
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.279
a boyfriend. And so the officer says, okay, well, is

313
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.799
there any history of violence or anything between them, any

314
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.919
domestic history, And that's when mister Clarence looked up and

315
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.039
he said, well, actually yes there is, so we all

316
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.240
right now in our gut go uh oh, that's not good.

317
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.200
But then he followed up and clarified but it hadn't

318
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.159
been between him and Tiera. This had been with another

319
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.279
woman before this. It was a different relationship. They didn't

320
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.240
have anything between the two of them, So, okay, that's

321
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.720
a good news. Well, about that time, the landlord showed

322
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.000
up with the key, but the issue now was that

323
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.559
he couldn't unlock the apartment before he gained permission from

324
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.799
the emergency contact that was on file for Tierra, and

325
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.119
that emergency contact happened to be her mother, miss Yolanda.

326
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.880
So now the apartment manager had to call miss Yolanda

327
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:31.559
back and say, hey, can we have permission to go

328
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.400
into the apartment, and she's like yes. Of course, this

329
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.640
alarmed her even more. Now she's getting another phone call,

330
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.480
but she says, yes, absolutely, please go in, and I'm

331
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.440
on my way. I'm at work, I got to finish up,

332
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.680
but I am coming. So starting to feel a little

333
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.680
worrisome about what he might be walking into the landlord

334
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.359
decided to give the key to the officers because they

335
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.839
had permission now, and he's like, maybe y'all should go

336
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.160
ahead and make entry first, and that made a lot

337
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.640
of sense to him, for safety reasons or because of

338
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.039
what might be found inside. I have to say, I

339
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.079
think it was actually a pretty good good call there

340
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.240
to let the police officers with the weapons be the

341
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.720
ones to go in first. So body cam was rolling

342
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.839
and captured this as the events unfolded, I'm going to.

343
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:33.480
Give you the key. Almost feels like something's plotting, Tara.

344
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.200
It's the police.

345
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.759
So, as you heard, they were able to unlock the door,

346
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:43.079
but something was blocking it from opening. Officers knocked and

347
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.359
they announced their presence and they're they're pushing, but they

348
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.359
weren't necessarily able to get through the door with something

349
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.960
pressing back. So the question was like, did has she

350
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.720
barricaded herself for some reason? Had someone possibly been after

351
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.680
her before we got here, and so she was trying

352
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:02.359
to block the door or something like that, or maybe

353
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.160
was it possible that someone was inside and they weren't

354
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.240
making any sound and they weren't letting her answer, or

355
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:14.480
even worse, even worse. Maybe COVID had hit her incredibly

356
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.400
hard and she was just too sick to get the

357
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.400
door open, and maybe was on the ground or something.

358
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:24.799
So obviously this was odd. And because of that, they've

359
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:26.519
tried the key, they're trying to push, they can't get

360
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.319
the door open. That gave them enough probable cause that

361
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.640
they were willing to use force to make entry into

362
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.880
the apartment. So as they pushed their way in and

363
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.880
they make their way inside, they were very cautious, and

364
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.240
they remained vigilant scanning the area, and they're calling out

365
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.599
trying to make their way through. But when they make

366
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:52.480
entry back into her bedroom, they were relaxed, but kind

367
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.000
of nervous, you know, as they were doing this. But

368
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.680
that feeling once they went into the bedroom quickly turned

369
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.279
very sharp, and their commands were very direct. As officers

370
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.400
backed immediately out of her bedroom. Tiera's father and brother

371
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.359
and that other friend were just steps behind them. Whenever

372
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.920
the officer stopped and turned and they tell him, get back,

373
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.799
get back, You do not want to come in here.

374
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.279
Do not come in here. You don't need to see

375
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.119
what's in here. And the sternness in this voice of

376
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.079
the officer told Tiara's daddy everything. He did not want

377
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.880
to know. He's like, no, why, why, oh my god, man,

378
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.119
why what is it? What is it? And without answering

379
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.079
him directly, in that same moment, the officer keyed up

380
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.359
on his radio and he started talking, come in here.

381
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.440
To give a female down in a bedroom. Oh, no,

382
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:49.000
believe this may be a homicide.

383
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.920
The pain in the voices of the men of Tierra's

384
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.480
family could be felt through their words, Oh my god, no, right,

385
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:02.000
oh my god, Oh my god. But the person in

386
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:05.400
the room that the police had seen on the ground,

387
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:10.240
the identity had not yet been confirmed. They had to

388
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.160
do that, okay, so they back out of the apartment.

389
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.400
Of course, the family is beyond upset at this, but

390
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.960
an investigation would have to be completed before they knew

391
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.640
exactly who it was on the floor in the apartment,

392
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.599
although your gut tells you who it probably is in

393
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.960
the room. So this was now going to be an

394
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.680
active crime scene. And everyone was forced to exit the

395
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:37.359
apartment immediately. And there are so many questions, what happened, sir?

396
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.480
What did you see? Please? Man, tell me something, tell

397
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.759
me something, What is it? What is it? Tell me

398
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.440
what you are seeing? But the officer would have to

399
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.240
wait for a detective to take over the scene and

400
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.920
release information as scene fit. And while that is not fun,

401
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.160
and that is terrible for the people that are standing around,

402
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.599
heartbroking and totally in the dark as to what is

403
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.440
going on, it's just the way that it had to be.

404
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.079
So for now, all the men could do was wallow

405
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.920
outside in the snow and their angst and in their grief,

406
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.400
believing that someone inside the apartment was dead, but they

407
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.799
weren't sure who at this exact moment, but it was

408
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:19.920
very much looking like it was their Tierra. But who

409
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.160
would want to hurt her? The brain goes there, Who

410
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.960
would want to hurt her? Tiera was so friendly, She

411
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.160
was outgoing, She made friends easily. She had even joined

412
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.920
her father's motorcycle club. They were called the Brothers of

413
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.039
the Hammer, just as she could spend more time with

414
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:38.319
her daddy. That's the kind of girl she was. They

415
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.400
were known for their red and black colors that they wore,

416
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.519
and their leather and the club. They liked to ride

417
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.519
and they like to enjoy each other's company. I know

418
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.440
I've done episodes before where motorcycle clubs are involved in

419
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.359
it It's about camaraderie. It's about i'll say family, but

420
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.720
you know, friendship and having people to connect with. Tierra

421
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.200
wasn't out running the road ode. She wasn't someone who

422
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.319
associated with dangerous people or anything like that, y'all. She

423
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.519
was average. She did the right things. I mean, hell,

424
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.119
the motorcycle club, the members of the club had even

425
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.400
given her a nickname. And that nickname that they gave

426
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:20.079
her sugar loaf. Does sugar Loaf look or sound like

427
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.000
the name of somebody who's out being edgy or doing

428
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.440
crazy things that would ever lead you to believe she

429
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.160
might be dead inside of her apartment? The answers no

430
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.880
why they gave her the name sugar Loaf. I don't know.

431
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.799
As the saying goes, club business is club business, okay.

432
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.880
But I choose to believe sugar Loaf was indicative of

433
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.680
who she was. She was just a big ball of sweetness,

434
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.920
a kind person. It's just who she was. She was forgiving,

435
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:55.200
she was caring. Everybody knew this. This wasn't up for

436
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.920
discussion or debate. Everybody knew this. She wasn't one to

437
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.680
hold a grudge or to stir up nose nonsense bickering

438
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:08.240
with anyone, So this tragedy unfolding caught her family and

439
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.519
everybody in the wake of this completely off guard. It

440
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:17.039
was not expected in any way, shape or form. So

441
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:20.240
the scene was cordoned off and detectives got to work

442
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:23.720
trying to determine what had happened so that they could

443
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.960
hopefully then find out why it happened and possibly who

444
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.400
did this. The apartment, going inside and looking around did

445
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.160
have things that were missing, so it was possible that

446
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:40.319
this was a burglary gone wrong. But the murder weapon

447
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:44.640
of choice in this case was a knife and stabbing

448
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:49.920
someone the way that this woman had been stabbed and attacked,

449
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.640
and this apartment sure did give the feeling of being

450
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.559
very personal, extremely personal for you to come up on

451
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.759
someone and stab them like this person had been stabbed.

452
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.119
Her dad had mentioned, as you already heard, that she

453
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.599
had a boyfriend, but something that police couldn't help but

454
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:16.039
notice was that he was clearly not around right now,

455
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.799
and he hadn't shown up either. After all the phone

456
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:21.200
calls had been made and people are starting to show up,

457
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.519
he was evidently not there, and so if he had

458
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.119
been trying to call her, they were willing to entertain

459
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:29.640
that maybe he's been trying to call her and get

460
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:31.599
in touch with her, but they would not know if

461
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:34.400
that was the case, because her cell phone was one

462
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.799
of the things that was missing from the apartment. The

463
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.720
people closest to us are unfortunately the ones that are

464
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.400
most likely to do us harm. I think I've said

465
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.559
that over and over. If you follow true crime, you

466
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:50.920
know this, and so police are very well aware of

467
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.640
that too, and so they wanted to have a word

468
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:59.400
with this boyfriend Vincent. Now in the apartment, it was

469
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.160
very clear that not only was her cell phone missing now,

470
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:05.319
but things were not as they were supposed to be

471
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.599
or normally would have been. Her brother said or noticed

472
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.680
that her electronics were gone, things like her TV. It

473
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:14.200
was not up where it normally would have been over

474
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.400
the fireplace. Her Alexa was gone, her laptop was gone.

475
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.160
The furniture was in disarray. It kind of looked pushed

476
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.359
off from its normal location. Strangely, on the couch, she

477
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.160
kept this blanket that was special to her. Her grandfather's

478
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.920
girlfriend had crocheted for her and she loved that blanket.

479
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.160
The blanket was gone, but her Apple watch that she

480
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.960
always had on her wrist it was missing too, So

481
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.359
burglary seemed to be a motive for certain here. But

482
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:50.119
stabbing someone as many times was as they saw on

483
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:56.000
this woman, this was overkill. It was way way too

484
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:59.000
personal and overkill has to be stated here over and

485
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.319
over again. This was wild. Okay. They were able to

486
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.279
confirm finally at this point that it was their precious

487
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:13.039
Tierra that was on the ground deceased, and as you

488
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.720
you can know and imagine, this made people start falling

489
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:19.799
apart as the words started to spread now on the

490
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:24.160
scene there. The exact number of stab wounds wasn't yet documented,

491
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:30.160
but it was unbelievable what they were seeing. So it

492
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.480
was very clear too that she had fought valiantly for

493
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.359
her life. It was very clear to the investigators by

494
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.559
the scene that she had done this well. About that

495
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:44.319
time was when Mama Yolanda pulled up to the house.

496
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.039
She had left work and she had just now made

497
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.440
her way there, and when she got there, the scene

498
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.960
had already shifted. The crime scene tape was up, and

499
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:52.640
she gets out of her car and jumps out, what's

500
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.160
going on? What is going on here? She got out

501
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.400
and she tried to go straight up to the front porch,

502
00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:59.559
and as she was getting up there to go into

503
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.039
this house to go find her baby. That's whenever her son, Tyree,

504
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.160
stepped in front of her and stopped her. No, Mama, no, no,

505
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.880
you can't see. No, you can't go in there. What

506
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.559
do you mean, Tyrese, what do you mean? I can't

507
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.119
go in there? Where is your sister? And he looked

508
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.400
as mama in the eye and he said, she's gone, Mama,

509
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.160
she's gone. Tiara is gone. And miss Yolanda was just

510
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.319
suddenly in the throes of the only thing she could

511
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.799
describe as an out of body experience. No, no, she's

512
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.359
not No, let me go in this house, and no, Mama, no.

513
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:36.240
Her body went completely numb. When he finally looked her

514
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.519
in the face and said, Mama, she is dead. She's gone.

515
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:45.400
You cannot go in there. She was unable to process it.

516
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:50.039
She was unable to process anything. Her body physically went numb.

517
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:54.079
She couldn't think, she couldn't feel. All she could do

518
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:59.480
was stare. Utter shock was manifesting itself physically and her

519
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:04.640
body she almost collapsed. How do you tell somebody and

520
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.599
just break it to them that their baby is gone,

521
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:12.839
just like that? But Tyree's had to because she could

522
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.440
not go into that house. She had to stay outside.

523
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.319
This cannot be real. Her mom is standing there, going

524
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:21.720
this cannot be real. This is not my life. This

525
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.119
doesn't happen to me. This happens to other people. This

526
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:28.359
doesn't happen to people like us. This doesn't happen to Tierra.

527
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:31.279
You cannot tell me that this has happened. I won't

528
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.559
accept it. My baby girl is in trouble. She has

529
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.240
a job, she's smart. Tyrese that she loves the color green.

530
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.599
She dressed up as an eminem for Halloween. This is

531
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.319
not real. You're not telling me the truth. Her motorcycle's

532
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.359
in the shop right now. She's excited. She's about to

533
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.960
get it out and she's gonna go ride with her daddy.

534
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:54.200
She could not be gone. This is not real. But

535
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:58.640
it was no matter how much her mind blocked it

536
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.240
and she couldn't accept it. It was real. It was

537
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:07.759
so real, And once it started to somewhat hit her

538
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:12.240
and hit everybody that this is not a movie. This

539
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.559
is We are in the throes of reality here. They're

540
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.720
all starting to wonder who would have done this, who

541
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.960
could have done this? Who do we know that would

542
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.920
be capable of this, that could make this happen to

543
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.839
my child, who would want to hurt my child? And

544
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.039
while they're trying to figure this out, because the family

545
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:35.119
didn't know, the family did not know who to point

546
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:41.000
a finger at. Vincent. Vincent again came to the minds

547
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:47.000
of the police because again he was noticeably nowhere around.

548
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.880
And now, I mean, is her own mama knows what's

549
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:54.440
going on. Clearly, it's believed that he should have known

550
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:59.640
by now that his girlfriend had been murdered. So Tiera's daddy,

551
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.599
talking with the police, said, you know, he's been in

552
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.599
trouble with the law before, and he confirmed that this

553
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.640
was a domestic police knew that they could not ignore that.

554
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.079
Just because he hadn't done anything to Tiera in the

555
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.519
recent time they were dating doesn't mean he wasn't capable

556
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.359
of it if he had that in his past. But

557
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:23.400
miss Yolanda had no idea who this Vincent was that

558
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.880
they were speaking of. And She's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

559
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:31.119
Tiara's boyfriend isn't named Vincent. What are y all talking about?

560
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.960
I just met her boyfriend about a week ago. Tiera

561
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:37.880
was having a seafood boil right there at that apartment

562
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:40.519
where you're telling me that she's dead. She was having

563
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:43.519
a seafood boil here and I came. She cooked, and

564
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.200
I came and got food. Here I met her boyfriend

565
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.799
and his name was Ricardo, not Vincent. Who is Vincent?

566
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:54.000
I'm her mother, I think I would know, And she

567
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:58.640
says this Ricardo. He was very polite. He was well mannered,

568
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:01.279
you know. He wasn't some wild animal come in here

569
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.839
trying to kill my daughter. So the question kind of

570
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.359
inside the mind here goes, what was Tierra possibly dating

571
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.799
two different men? Is that what's going on here? Do

572
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:14.240
we have a bigger problem on our hands? On a hunch, though,

573
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.880
an officer went to his police car and he decided

574
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.880
to run Vincent's name when lo and behold, a rather

575
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.319
important bit of information was obtained just through that simple search.

576
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:31.759
Vincent was the boyfriend's real name, and he matched the

577
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.799
description of who Tiera was dating as far as his

578
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.519
picture went. But his middle name on the record was Ricardo.

579
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.119
So it was realized very quickly that Vincent and Ricardo

580
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.319
were the same person. It was just that Tiera had

581
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:50.680
introduced him as Ricardo to her mother while everybody else

582
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.559
knew that his name was Vincent, but something else stood

583
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:57.880
out to this officer whenever he ran the search, and

584
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:01.559
it was that he found that Vincent was currently sitting

585
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:05.799
in jail. No wonder he hadn't shown up to the scene.

586
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.839
He couldn't because he was locked up. But looking at

587
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.279
his arrest date, it wasn't like he had been locked

588
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.880
up that day. He had been in jail for about

589
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.440
ten days, so he's been off the streets and he

590
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.440
probably wasn't aware of what was going on right now

591
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.039
because he was behind bars. Vincent, as far as police

592
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.119
were concerned, couldn't have been the one responsible for Tierra's murder,

593
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.960
at least physically, because he was in the custody at

594
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.279
their jail. And miss Yolanda was able to actually confirm, yep, yep,

595
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.920
that's it, got it, that's true because she had spoken

596
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.319
to Tiera, and Tiera had mentioned in days prior that

597
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.640
she was trying to get her boyfriend some bail money

598
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.319
together to get him out, and it was something about

599
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.079
they had the wrong guy though, and he was wrongfully arrested.

600
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.119
So with this in mind and understanding that he's been

601
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.599
behind bars, he was scratched off the immediate suspect list

602
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.119
as Tierra's actual killer because her death wasn't that old.

603
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.880
It wasn't she hadn't been there ten days. She had

604
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:10.239
been talking to people, so based on the condition of

605
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:11.639
the body and all of that, it was pretty clear

606
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:15.239
that she had been murdered relatively recently based on what

607
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.239
they saw at the home. He wasn't, however, scratched off

608
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.119
of the need to speak to list, so detectives would

609
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.119
make their way down to the jail to talk to

610
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:29.320
him in due time. Now, Tiera's daddy had said some

611
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:34.239
other things to the officers before her body was discovered,

612
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:36.519
while they were just doing that small talk, before they

613
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.760
realized the extent of what was going on. When he

614
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:43.039
was trying to get into the apartment and he had

615
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.000
gone and he had spoken to the neighbors. Remember they

616
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.000
had said that, no, they hadn't seen her, blah blah blah.

617
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:52.599
But one actually said, well, I didn't see her, but

618
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:56.840
I had seen someone earlier coming out of her apartment

619
00:34:56.920 --> 00:35:00.159
and they were carrying laundry baskets from the apart heart

620
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:06.079
but that was earlier. Well, exactly when was earlier? What

621
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.760
exactly did that mean like earlier, a few minutes before

622
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:11.400
he got there, was it earlier? This week? When was that?

623
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:16.000
And that wasn't quite clear in the moment. So the

624
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.280
hours would pass as detectives are documenting the scene. The

625
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.400
crime scene photos were taken and with each flash of

626
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:26.519
the camera capturing more and more images of the trauma

627
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:30.920
to poor Tierra's body, just pure evidence of the struggle

628
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:33.760
to live and the fight that she put up, but

629
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:38.360
she was overcome regardless of her desire to live. This

630
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:43.079
was just inhumane what was at the scene. She loved

631
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.519
her life and someone had viciously stolen it from her.

632
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:51.679
After all of this was documented though, her body was

633
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.360
removed and she was taken to the Medical Examiner's office

634
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:58.679
for autopsy. But the night would continue to creep on,

635
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.920
and as word of Tierra's more continued to spread, the

636
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:05.800
phone continued to ring of her daddy and the people

637
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:09.079
that loved her, and ring by ring, and call by

638
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.400
call and text by text. The family was forced to

639
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:14.719
over and over and over again face the truth that

640
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:18.519
this was so real, and you know, they just had

641
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.920
no clue, They had no clue where to even start

642
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:24.719
of who could have done this? Mamma Yolanda was thinking

643
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:26.800
back to the fact that at that seafood boil just

644
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:30.239
the week prior, she had even noticed while there that

645
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.960
Tiera didn't have a porch light on her apartment. She

646
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.559
even was so worried about it she had mentioned it

647
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.840
to her baby girl, that, honey, that's dangerous. It's very

648
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.880
dangerous that you can't see on this porch and it's

649
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:44.920
not lit up good. You need to make sure that

650
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.719
you get a light out here because at night it's

651
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:50.400
hard to see. She was so worried about her girl,

652
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.760
and she wanted her to be safe. And now that

653
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:56.679
conversation just kept replaying in her mind over and over

654
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:00.400
and over again, the what ifs and the understanding and

655
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.000
the realization that that conversation was real and they had it.

656
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.280
But no matter how many times she thought through over

657
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.239
and over again, it was too late, no matter what,

658
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:15.280
it was just too late. So standing outside of the

659
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.079
apartment and just staring at it in just shock and

660
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:23.519
taking in what their lives had just become, something stood

661
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:27.039
out to Miss Yolanda, and her head somewhat kind of

662
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.400
tilted to the side as she realized what she was

663
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.760
looking at. Because Tierra's bathroom window. It was closed, but

664
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.239
as she was staring at it, she realized that the

665
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:43.320
curtain was trapped and it was hanging and blowing outside

666
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.199
of the window, and her Tierra would have never done that,

667
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.440
She would have never left it in that position or

668
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:55.400
with her curtain trapped in it, And that, in her mind,

669
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.360
just made it very visually clear that someone had been

670
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:02.480
in there, and what she was being told, it's just real.

671
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:06.679
Someone had been through that house and they had violated

672
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:11.400
her daughter in every aspect. She knew that window was wrong.

673
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:16.039
But leaving the investigators to do their job, the family

674
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.000
eventually left and they went back to their respective homes.

675
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:24.079
They were exhausted, they were devastated. Their adrenaline had spiked

676
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.159
and now dumped, and they were in the just throes

677
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:32.800
of grief. And when mister Clarence's phone dinged again with

678
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:36.079
a new text message, and he didn't want to talk.

679
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.159
He didn't want to talk, y'all. He didn't want to

680
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.880
do much. He didn't want to think, he couldn't think.

681
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.920
He was just trying to absorb what he had just

682
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.079
been through. When he glanced over and he just looked

683
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.320
at the phone, and he was immediately jarred. To attention

684
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:58.920
that text that had just come through his cell phone

685
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:05.280
was from Tierra. And he's staring at his daughter actively

686
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:09.920
texting him. What in the world? And he looked at it.

687
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:11.599
He picked the phone up, and he looked at it

688
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:15.519
for a minute. Was this a miracle? Was this a

689
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:18.400
delayed message? Was that not Tierra? Maybe in the house

690
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:19.840
he had already been told it was Tierra. How is

691
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:23.320
she texting me? Was this a delayed message that came

692
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.159
through that maybe she had seen it earlier. Was this

693
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:28.440
a sign from heaven? Maybe? What is this? And so

694
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.519
he opened and he swiped the message, and he began

695
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:37.079
reading the words direct quote, sorry about your daughter, know

696
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:43.039
the game? End quote. He read that message over and

697
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:48.119
over again, trying to understand or maybe even more convince

698
00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:52.559
himself that this wasn't what it seemed, because it really

699
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:57.880
really seemed like whoever had taken his daughter's phone and

700
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:05.360
probably killed her was now texting him, taunting him, saying

701
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:11.639
know the game, sorry about your daughter. The fear and

702
00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:16.280
the anger combined in that moment it was palpable. Here's

703
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:20.239
a daddy staring at his phone, know the game, says,

704
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.119
in a fucking game? What is this? My baby is dead?

705
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.960
Who says, know the game? What kind of animal? What

706
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:34.119
kind of animal could be? This heartless, so nonchalant, while

707
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:40.480
overtly threatening, and a victim's family member nonetheless knowing good

708
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.039
and damn well that she was loaded in her phone

709
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:47.840
under daddy in her phone. Whoever sent this message knew

710
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.840
exactly what they were doing, and if they wanted to

711
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.119
hurt him, damn it, they did it. This is sick.

712
00:40:56.360 --> 00:41:00.440
So mister Clarence immediately contacted police with a message, and

713
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:03.400
they would be just as stunned, but ready to jump

714
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.360
on it as a lead and believing that this really

715
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.960
could be the killer. They wanted to find out all

716
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.320
that they could about that message and who had possibly

717
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.000
sent it. Now that's gonna take time. They're gonna have

718
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.760
to send off for reports to be able to get

719
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:20.920
that information back. And they did it, but they would

720
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.039
have to wait. Well, the autopsy would be completed within

721
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:26.760
just a few days, and it would confirm all that

722
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:30.039
was feared in terms of the torture that Tiera had

723
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.800
experienced before dying. She had suffered defensive wounds on both arms,

724
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.679
cuts to her skin and her hands as she had

725
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:41.440
tried to stop that blade that was being swung at her,

726
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:46.039
just all over the place, just rapidly, just all over

727
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.960
in her trying to defend herself as best that she could,

728
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.400
and you could see it in her body and what

729
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.719
it had it had been through. She had fought so

730
00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:59.280
hard that she had broken her own fingers in the process.

731
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.119
When I thought about that, to break your own bones,

732
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.599
for your to be fighting back with such tenacity and

733
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.559
just wanting your life so bad and you're just snapping

734
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:14.519
your own bones trying to do it and you still

735
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:18.400
didn't win, it just paints. I'm a very visual person

736
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.599
when I'm thinking about this and what that girl was doing.

737
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:25.800
She was giving it her all to try to stay alive.

738
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:29.800
And Tierra was strong, guys, she was very capable of

739
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.360
defending herself. These broken bones were proof that she had

740
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:38.920
put up an epic fight. And the stab wounds, my god,

741
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:44.840
the stab wounds. She was covered in them. What a

742
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:50.559
human being is capable of doing against another is so unhinged,

743
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.920
especially in cases like this one. This was pure hatred

744
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:01.039
exhibited upon another and in an animalistic nature. The killer

745
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.559
had lost all control and had gone completely and totally

746
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:10.159
bersark on Tierra during this attack. The stab wounds were

747
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.119
all over her, but they were mainly concentrated to her

748
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:18.760
torso the assailant had penetrated her chest wall as well

749
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:22.639
as penetrating her back. And you can only envision this

750
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.840
as Tiera was fighting and fighting and trying to defend

751
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:29.760
herself and reacting to every injury and slice in real

752
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.400
time as it was being just rained down on her.

753
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.679
So she was likely rolling in response after she hit

754
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:38.519
the ground, trying to get away, and she's rolling away

755
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:41.719
from the pain. But the stabs just kept coming and

756
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:45.119
kept coming, no matter what position she was laying in.

757
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:48.119
And right now, if you think that I am just

758
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:52.840
overdoing what this girl went through, listened to me. After

759
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.000
an extensive effort was put forward by this doctor to

760
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:01.039
count all of her injuries, there were fit fifty two

761
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:09.760
stab wounds into this young girl's body. Fifty two. No

762
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.320
matter what Tierra would have done, she stood no chance

763
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:21.039
against an attack of this level, with things this personal

764
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:26.800
and the confirmation of what she had been through. Vincent again,

765
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:29.679
he is right back up there on the top of

766
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:32.920
the interview list because he was the one closest to her,

767
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:34.679
and he was the one that had been spending the

768
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.280
most time with her, and as you know, police didn't

769
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:39.199
have to work too hard to find him because he

770
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.239
was still behind bars as they were investigating. So at

771
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.400
the jail he was brought in, he was shackled and

772
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:48.320
he was in his orange jumpsuit and he sat in

773
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:51.639
the interviewing room and he was just waiting the questioning

774
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:54.599
by detectives for something that he had not yet been

775
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.320
briefed on. So he didn't even know why he was

776
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.119
being brought into this room. He just knew that the

777
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.960
police needed to talk to him. But one thing is

778
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:06.519
for certain, and two things for sure. He was pissed

779
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:10.519
to be behind bars because he was adamant that he

780
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:14.920
didn't do anything to be locked up like this. This

781
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.239
was wrong and he should not be behind bars. So

782
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:21.519
as the detectives began speaking with him, it became clear

783
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.599
that they were there to talk to him about Tierra,

784
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:29.119
and that caught him off guard because he knew Tierra

785
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.960
was a good girl. She definitely wasn't someone who would

786
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.599
be tied up in his current charge, the case that

787
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:38.559
he just caught, and she wouldn't have caught her own

788
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:41.960
because she wasn't like that, So why was her name

789
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:46.280
coming out of their mouth in an investigation at the

790
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:49.800
jail talking to her boyfriend. I mean, this just was

791
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.000
not really resonating. He wasn't understanding why are we talking

792
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:58.239
about Tiera? So somewhat cautious, He's listening as he was

793
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:02.599
asked these roundabout questions and trying to gather information about

794
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:04.599
his girlfriend, until finally he was like, what is going

795
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.360
on here? Why are you talking about Tierra? And that's

796
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:11.400
when the detectives broke the news to him that there's

797
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:16.000
no easy way to tell you this, Vincent, but Tierra

798
00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:22.599
was murdered. Tierra is dead. And his physical reaction wasn't huge.

799
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:25.840
It wasn't big. He didn't jump back, he didn't fall

800
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.840
out of the chair or anything like that. But he

801
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:29.760
had a mask on one because remember it was still

802
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.840
the throes of COVID and so it covered a lot

803
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:36.079
of his face. But even if there's not a huge reaction,

804
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:40.039
body language, to me, is still important. And anybody I

805
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:44.199
think who's ever been in a law enforcement or does investigations,

806
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.679
I think would agree that body language still can tell

807
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:50.920
you so much, and even without a huge emotional reaction,

808
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.360
other factors can and should be observed in totality of

809
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.239
this circumstance when this news is broken. And so someone

810
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:03.840
who's blink rate slows down dramatically is someone that you

811
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.360
know when you're talking to them that they are locked

812
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.599
in and they are very focused on what you were saying,

813
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:11.239
because their eyes will fix and they'll kind of like

814
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:14.719
open their eyes and shock almost and they're really staring

815
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:19.079
at you, and the blinking slows, and he stared at

816
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:23.519
the detectives in that moment with this blinking very slowed,

817
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:27.239
and then started stumbling over his next few words, and

818
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:31.119
he's going, oh, who wait, when wait, what happened? Man?

819
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:33.760
What is going on? What do you mean? What do

820
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:35.519
you mean that she's dead?

821
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:35.719
Like?

822
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.639
What do you mean? Tell me? I'm in jail right

823
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:42.400
now on a bogus charge. I'm telling you that I

824
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.480
didn't do anything to deserve to be here, and now

825
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.119
you're in my face telling me that my girlfriend is dead.

826
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.440
Like what the fuck? Man, y'all gotta tell me something here.

827
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:53.760
This does not make sense. And I don't think I

828
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:56.280
understand how this is going right now. Like he's in

829
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:59.800
the twilight zone, is how he felt. But from the

830
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.760
active's point of view, they're like, all right, man, you

831
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:03.800
know everybody claims that they didn't do what they're in

832
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:07.800
jail for, right, But like, he was adamant that he

833
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:11.000
did not commit a burglary, which is what he had

834
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:13.400
been arrested on and why he was behind bars for

835
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:16.960
the last ten days. He maintained that it was not him.

836
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.679
I did not commit this burglary. And now you're telling

837
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.280
him a girlfriend's murder. You're telling me that I committed

838
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.119
a burglary I didn't commit. And this is not cool.

839
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:29.840
This is not driving. And I am telling you for

840
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.719
all my faults and all my problems, I'm this is weird.

841
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.360
And he straight up said, I think that this is

842
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:37.639
a setup. I think I'm being set up by like

843
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:44.199
an ex girlfriend. So his current girlfriend is dead. Police

844
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.599
are now realizing that he's saying that he's in on

845
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.280
a bogus charge, which, all right, fifty to fifty not

846
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.199
fifty to fifty. Really, I mean, usually you don't believe

847
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.320
somebody when they say they're down bad and they didn't

848
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:57.239
get locked up, because why'd you get locked up? But

849
00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:59.159
now you're saying be set up by an ex girlfriend.

850
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.639
Police would have been and if they weren't slightly intrigued

851
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.800
by the lady problems that this guy was allegedly having

852
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.880
behind bars. Okay, you got a girlfriend, you're saying as

853
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:11.400
setting you up. You got a dead girlfriend now, and

854
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:15.800
you didn't do the burglary. Okay, Well, with that in mind,

855
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.840
he sent back to his jail cell. Police decided, no,

856
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.719
let's just entertain this. Let's go look into the burglary

857
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.480
charge that Vincent was currently being held on. Let's just

858
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:29.000
see what it's all about. So when the report was run,

859
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:32.440
they found that that burglary report wasn't just made by

860
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:34.880
one person like an ex girlfriend. It was made by

861
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:38.039
two people. The names of these people there was an

862
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:41.760
older gentleman, a white man named Jeffrey James, and then

863
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:44.920
there was a younger female that made the report with him.

864
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:50.400
This is a black female and her name was Taylor Hammond. Now,

865
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:55.039
starting with Taylor the female, they decided that they wanted

866
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:58.880
to contact her and get more information on the burglary

867
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:02.239
and see what exactly had happened in the report and

868
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:07.199
her memory. So, upon contact, Taylor confirmed who she was,

869
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:14.400
and she then confirmed that she actually was Vincent's ex girlfriend,

870
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:20.400
which was very surprising and interesting. But then she says

871
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:23.480
that look, I got to tell you something. I didn't

872
00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:27.000
file a police report against Vincent. I didn't make any

873
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:28.679
burglary report. And the police are like, are you sure,

874
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:29.880
because we have it right here in front of us,

875
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:33.039
and she's like, I dated Vincent, we broke up. I

876
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:37.119
have never made a report against him for burglary. All right, Well,

877
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:42.159
that's weird, Okay, that's not driving. Was it possible that

878
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:45.760
maybe she was the one setting him up on a

879
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:49.800
false charge, but now was just trying to kind of

880
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.360
like back out of it and say it wasn't her

881
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:56.760
because she realized that the jig was up. Well, then

882
00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:58.760
she goes a step further and says, not only that,

883
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:00.960
she said, I don't even know anybody by the name

884
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.199
of Jeffrey James. I've never I don't know who that is.

885
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:06.960
I don't you're throwing stuff at me and I don't know.

886
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:08.840
I'm not clocking it here, I'm not tracking. I don't

887
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:10.960
know what to tell you. Now, this may come as

888
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:14.480
a shocker to everybody listening, but people lie to the police. Okay,

889
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:17.440
So when she said all of this she didn't know

890
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:19.360
about it, they're not just gonna go, oh, well, sorry,

891
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:21.280
we didn't mean to waste her time, no, of course not.

892
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.320
And concerning she did date Vincent and admitted that they

893
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:26.880
were going to look further into this because filing a

894
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:29.480
false police report is also a crime, and if she

895
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.840
was playing games with them, they weren't taking too kindly

896
00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:37.119
to it. And also, unfortunately for her, there were cameras

897
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.920
at the police station, and those cameras were recording the

898
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:43.599
day that this police report was filed, and so all

899
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:46.519
police had to go do was pull the tapes. So

900
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.519
the report was made inside the station. It wasn't a

901
00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:51.719
call out where an officer was dispatched to go make

902
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:54.880
it at a home or anything. No, these victims had

903
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:58.039
driven there to the station to make this report, and

904
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.039
so the faces of the people would be right there

905
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:04.320
on camera and easily seen. So police roll back the tapes.

906
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.079
Here we go, and the officers watched them when sure enough,

907
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:11.599
and walked an older white male and a younger black female.

908
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:13.480
She looked to be in like her thirties or so,

909
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:15.760
and they both took a seat next to each other.

910
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:20.360
They were waiting to file the burglary police report. And

911
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:22.800
so police say, bingo, here we go. There they are,

912
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:26.400
they're sitting together. They're against this large window right there

913
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:30.159
in the station, Jeff was easily identified. That is exactly

914
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.599
who was sitting in there filing the police report. It

915
00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:35.159
was also really cold outside, and so they were both

916
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:37.760
dressed appropriately in their jackets and their hoods, and the

917
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.719
woman had a beanie on that she pulled down. So

918
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:43.679
they're watching the video go in all right, here it is,

919
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:46.400
but they started to look really closely at the woman

920
00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:50.199
in the video and that's when police were like, wait

921
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:54.480
a second, that isn't Taylor, that really is not her.

922
00:52:55.079 --> 00:53:01.719
Taylor has a very obvious neck tattoo, very obvious neck tattoo,

923
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:05.280
and this woman did not have it. Also Taylor, she

924
00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:06.840
was a black female, but she was a very light

925
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:11.639
skinned black female. The woman sitting next to Jeff was dark.

926
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:18.599
So they're like, WHOA. Incredibly, Taylor was telling the truth.

927
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:23.199
She was absolutely telling the truth. She was not the

928
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:26.599
person who filed a police report, and she was not

929
00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:30.639
connected to this Jeffrey James guy. If Taylor hadn't made

930
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:35.599
the report, the question now was was the report in

931
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:40.760
fact bogus and that Vincent really hadn't done anything, and

932
00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:43.800
maybe he was actually telling the truth that he had

933
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:46.679
been set up by somebody like that's a wild jump

934
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.519
and chain of events to believe, but this is kind

935
00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:53.679
of looking like that could actually be true. So police

936
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.360
tracked down Jeffrey and the questioning with him began. Y'all,

937
00:53:57.360 --> 00:53:59.599
it didn't take long for this guy's story to completely

938
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:04.719
fall up and he gave a confession. There was no burglary.

939
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:10.480
Vincent was also telling the truth. He had agreed to

940
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:15.639
file this report with his friends against Vincent. But why

941
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:18.880
why had this guy jeff agreed to go in and

942
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:22.440
make a false police report against some guy because his

943
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:24.360
friends asked him to do it, Like what did he

944
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:28.280
have to gain from this? So to determine that, they

945
00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:30.320
needed to know who were your friends? Who are these

946
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:33.760
people that you say you want to go do this with? Specifically,

947
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:36.159
who is that woman in the video with you at

948
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.599
the station? And he readily gave the name. He says,

949
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:44.199
that is Asia Lindsay, now it's kind of said like Asia,

950
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:48.360
like you know Asia, but it's spelled a Ja, so Asia.

951
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:53.320
But he also named another man who was supposed to

952
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:55.760
be in on this, and that was his roommate. So

953
00:54:55.880 --> 00:55:00.519
Jeff lived with this guy named Jamal Bullock. The more

954
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:04.760
they started talking Jeff's quote unquote agreement that he says

955
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:07.519
he agreed to do this was more of caving to

956
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:11.960
the pressure of those two asking him to go do this.

957
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:14.800
So he says, I was really kind of pressured into

958
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.519
doing it, and so I went along with it. Now,

959
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.119
Aga and Jamal were friends. They had also worked together

960
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:25.039
at a meat processing facility, so there was a connection

961
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:28.440
between those two people. But Jamal wasn't on the police

962
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:32.079
report and Jeff was there, So why had he brought

963
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:37.679
up this other name, you know? Well, Jeff then tells

964
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:41.159
the police, no, Jamal was there. Jamal was there when

965
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:43.320
we did this. Police are like, we looked at the tape.

966
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:46.519
We saw you two together. There was no third person

967
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:51.239
with you. And he says, well, you know, maybe go

968
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:54.800
back and look at it. Go look again. So they're like,

969
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:57.280
all right, we'll take that into account. But what was

970
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:01.280
most interesting about all of this as their uncovering everything,

971
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:06.480
was that Aga was the name of another ex girlfriend

972
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:11.800
of Vincent. Vincent said that he thought that an ex

973
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:16.039
girlfriend was possibly setting him up. Well, Taylor was an

974
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:18.480
ex but she didn't do it. But Asia had dated

975
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:23.960
Vincent two hmm. Now, looking into their relationship history, they

976
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:27.000
had had a very toxic relationship, but that was over

977
00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:29.519
and he had moved out and they weren't living together

978
00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:33.679
or anything like that. Now, Aga for sure was bitter

979
00:56:33.719 --> 00:56:37.400
about their breakup, and so this false report looked like

980
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:39.760
a way for her to get even with Vincent by

981
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:42.480
setting him up and then hahaha, laughing at him as

982
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.840
he was locked up on a bogus charge. Total bitch

983
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:48.840
move for sure, and it totally looked like it had worked.

984
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:53.440
But you know why, like why would why would these

985
00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:56.280
men be willing to do that? Like that's that sucks?

986
00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:58.440
You know, why would you be that kind of guy? Well,

987
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:02.079
Vincent was then so sbsequently released when all of this

988
00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:05.599
kind of came to fruition. So police did what they

989
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:07.440
said they would. They did go back and they looked

990
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.599
at the video from the police station, and sure as

991
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:15.960
shit if at one point, while Jeff and Asia are

992
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:19.519
talking to the police and making that police report, Jamal

993
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:24.679
comes walking into the frame. He comes walking into the

994
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.119
police station, but guess what, he opens the door and

995
00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:31.320
he just walks by the lobby through to another area.

996
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:36.159
He never acknowledged or or said anything to these co conspirators,

997
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:40.320
but he was there right on tape, just as Jeff said,

998
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:43.559
he would be like, this was so bizarre. Everybody was

999
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:46.880
actually telling the truth at this point of all the

1000
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:52.239
wildness that was going on. So they figured all this out.

1001
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.159
Police solve the fact that Vincent didn't actually do the

1002
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:56.800
burglary and these guys were lying about it to set

1003
00:57:56.880 --> 00:57:59.519
him up, and so they got to release Vincent. But

1004
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:04.679
this was not solving Tiera's murder. The taunting message that

1005
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:06.880
was sent to her father, remember that had been sent

1006
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:10.159
off to get the information on her off of her phone,

1007
00:58:10.199 --> 00:58:12.960
they had subpoenaed for those records because what they were

1008
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:16.440
thinking was if we can get the subpoena on those records,

1009
00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:19.159
then we might can get the location of the phone

1010
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:24.000
from when the message was sent. Ie. I'm talking about metadata.

1011
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:27.960
So briefly, metadata is a huge concept and this could

1012
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:30.960
cover a whole lot of stuff. But specifically, you can

1013
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:34.360
get call metadata, photo, and you could get text metadata

1014
00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:37.639
from a cellular device. So a call, the police can

1015
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:41.480
see who called who, the start time of that, how

1016
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.000
long it lasted, when they hung up. They can even

1017
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.119
tell when a cell phone was locked, like a timestample,

1018
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:49.159
when the phone hung up and was locked. It's very

1019
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.400
very detailed report. If there's a photo that was sent,

1020
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:55.760
they can get the camera settings, and they can also

1021
00:58:55.880 --> 00:59:01.320
get GPS coordinates of exactly where that photo was snapped.

1022
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:03.840
That's why when you go in your phone and you're

1023
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:06.159
searching photos, you can put in the location or the

1024
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:09.199
address of where you were on vacation three years ago,

1025
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:12.079
and those vacation pictures will pop up because it knows

1026
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:18.559
where the photo was taken. But also that GPS can

1027
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:22.920
be tied in with these text messages. Okay, and basically

1028
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:27.239
what I'm saying is they can see what phone towers

1029
00:59:27.800 --> 00:59:30.960
the phone was accessing when it sent the text messages,

1030
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:32.880
and that had been done in just the last twenty

1031
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:36.440
four hours. If they could locate the phone, then they

1032
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:39.480
could find the killer. So when the report came in,

1033
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:42.679
they took it and they were able to map the

1034
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:47.239
location or basically the towers and these messages, or where

1035
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:50.119
the phone was in proximity to the towers when the

1036
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:53.599
phone had been connecting to it while it was in use.

1037
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:57.400
So assuming that the phone was on the whole time

1038
00:59:57.480 --> 01:00:00.440
and wasn't turned off, they could then just kind of

1039
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:03.519
connect the dots and watch the travel of this cell

1040
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:07.960
phone as it moved. Luckily for the detectives, the killer

1041
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.079
was way dumber than he was mean. Because the phone

1042
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:15.840
was never turned off, they were actually able to create

1043
01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:19.599
this travel path and draw where the phone had been

1044
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:22.880
during the last twenty four hours. And now the police

1045
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:27.199
were off on a very specific mission. With this path

1046
01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:31.400
outlined for them, they decided to go, now, go anywhere

1047
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:35.440
that may have cameras on the routes and see if

1048
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:39.639
they could find a person or a car that would

1049
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:43.199
contain the phone. So they knew that the killer would

1050
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:46.400
be on camera if they were in the area. But

1051
01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:49.239
the question now becomes probably what you're thinking, Okay, well

1052
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:51.079
you drive by a camera, how the hell would they

1053
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.760
know that if the phone was there or not? Well,

1054
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.400
great question, Okay, unless the person's walking around with the

1055
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:59.320
phone like this, then on camera I'm holding my hand

1056
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:02.119
up like I'm taking selfie. Then the camera usage isn't

1057
01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:04.360
going to show exactly who has the phone. But what

1058
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:08.559
the police could do was used that time stamps at

1059
01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:14.159
each location from the metadata and compare that with the

1060
01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:18.639
cameras where the phone was pinging in that area. So

1061
01:01:18.840 --> 01:01:22.079
using the time stamps, they then compared the videos at

1062
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.119
all these different locations and what they tried to pick

1063
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:29.559
out was a pattern or a commonality amongst the traffic

1064
01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:34.360
or the people. And the method paid off because a

1065
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:40.400
yellow Ford focus hatchback was seen consistently throughout all of

1066
01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:44.199
the footage when they were checking the time stamps, and

1067
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:46.679
it was an odd color, y'all, and it was ugly.

1068
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:51.159
This was not a cute car. So police are honing

1069
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:53.880
in and going, is this the car of the killer?

1070
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:59.280
If so, the license plate wasn't readable, and so they're

1071
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:01.400
seeing the call are they'll be able to visually see

1072
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:03.559
this car and they believe that's the killer in the car,

1073
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:07.599
but they can't pinpoint it because they can't see the

1074
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:11.639
license plate. It's not clear. But this lead, it was

1075
01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:14.159
a solid one. It was a good one, and the

1076
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:17.519
detectives were determined to solve this case. And while they

1077
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:20.719
didn't know who the killer was by name, they did

1078
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:24.639
believe that they knew what this killer drove. So, if

1079
01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:28.559
you've ever heard the saying that people and their pets

1080
01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:31.000
look alike? Have you ever heard that before? They say

1081
01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:32.719
that people and their pets look alike? If you really

1082
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:36.760
start to pay attention. But in next week's conclusion of

1083
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:40.039
this case, a different similarity is going to be proven.

1084
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:43.880
In this case, the killer in their car may look

1085
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:47.760
a lot alike, both having a flat backside and ugly

1086
01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:49.119
both inside and out.
