This started as nothing more than a routine welfare check in suburban Florida. But when deputies stepped inside, everything changed. No warning, no pretense, just silence. Watch closely because in those first moments, you can feel the tension, the uncertainty, and the staggering weight of what they just found. This is real. This is raw. This is what body cam is all about. Roll the footage. And it's smelling you. Yeah, there's a door on the right. The opposite side. Did you see somebody? [Applause] The other side. Reese's bed. Hello. Sheriff's office. Anybody in there? Hello. See, I bring you back. This is just a The other door smells like a seven. Broke the window. This place is a disaster. You smell it? No, I do. Come out. Just ask the neighbors, I guess, see if they see anybody. There's a reef right there, right? Yeah, I saw them. Let's go to the neighbor one next door over here.

Just the guys over there. When's the last time you seen them? Him? He usually walks up and down the road, but her I haven't seen her in a while. How long would a while be? days, months, day or two. Days. Three three days or something like that. When's the last time you seen the boys? Yesterday. Okay. Nobody today. Mm- Have you heard any any fighting? Anything in the last two days? Any loud commotion? I know it would be not abnormal for you to hear yelling and screaming coming from over there. So, nothing. No way. We're kind of new to the neighborhood, too. So, there's been a lot different things going on here. So, it's weird. We're not used to it. No. More more quiet. Yeah. We used to live right down there, but behind the Circle K in Cleveland, Dalewood, nice, man. That's so cool back there. You don't worry about nothing. You know what I mean? It's nice and quiet. I know all the neighbors 50 years, boy. And they come up here and all kind. This is just way different for me. But I'm I'm doing good. All right. That's all that matters that you guys are doing good. Yeah. So, if we hear anything, just call the number right there. That's the non-emergency number. If you see Laney or anything, her sister's looking for her and she's not able to get a hold of her. So, that's why we're out trying to make contact with her. Yeah. He's probably like in his third. Okay. Yeah. But, uh, he's only been there for like a few weeks cuz the tent wasn't there. Then the tent showed up and then he was around. So, Right. Any any commotions or anything the last couple days or before then? Yelling or fighting or anything like that? They'll be here. They're pretty fire for the most part, but okay. The most I see out of the dude is just like sometimes he walks up and down the road. Today he was riding a bike.

[Applause] Missouri. What do you see, Jose? Nothing. The kitchen's over there. So, but I can't far and get the proper information for Laney. It's going to be asis and just run her real quick. Okay. Then have central check her out in all the hospitals and see if she's there. [Applause] Yeah. I'm Did you hear us knocking before? Were you knocked out? No, I was sleeping in there. I'm glad you woke up cuz you're about to come inside. We're looking for mom. Do you have you seen her? She's not around right now. Do you know where she's at? Sister's asking for She's not in any trouble or anything like that. I have no idea. When was the last time you saw her? Few days ago. Where'd she go? She just wants you back. [Music] Is it abnormal for mom to be gone for days at a time? Sometimes. Where does she usually go? Does she have a favorite place where she likes to go? Does she tell you anything out of the normal when she last time you saw her? No. What happened the last time you guys were together? She gave me a few cigarettes and a little bit of food and some hand soap wash my hands and told me I would come stay back here. Okay. But you haven't seen mom since then? H. Yes, sir. When's the last time you text called or anything like that? Okay. When was the last time you saw dad? A week ago. Do you know where he's staying at? No. I heard that she might have called the cops on him. Yeah, he he got arrested the 25th of last month for trespassing. Do you know who stays in the tent? That's what I was saying before she said I can come in. Oh, she told you you could come before she left. Yeah. Be right if we just went inside to make sure she's at in there. My house. Huh? I can't tell you. Okay. But you stay here and it's your mom's house. Then we're looking for mom. So, we just want to make sure mom's not stowed away in a closet or something. Dad didn't come back and retaliate for getting arrested or something like that. So, if you're not going to tell me yesterday, then we're just going to peek your head in there real quick and then we'll come back outside. You can lead the way if you're so please. Lock the door. You could go in, but you could go in. Just lead us through. Do you have a key? No. Why would you lock the door behind you? I just usually do that. So, how do you get in? I don't know. How about this other little door that's over here? It's uh it's just barricaded elm. With what? Uh garbage can and some stuff. So, how do you get in the house by locking? Cuz I feel like you're [ __ ] with me. What the hell? What's the deal? I'm trying to [ __ ] with you. So, you understand how how this looks, right? That's fine. So why?

We're not worried about that. We just want to make sure right now is finding mom. That's it. If you know you're not supposed to be here, that's on what we can deal with that at a later point in time. I really don't care about that. Yeah. My main goal is making sure mom's okay. Find mom and do that. That's that's what we're here for. We're not here for you cuz you were sleeping in the bed or whatever. Okay. So, obviously you went in and unlocked it from the inside. Did you get in? Did you just push that one thing open to get in on the other door? You mind doing that for us right now? You mean that I believe it was to the intersection Washington road Washington road to make contact with Jane and Jessica. Jessica is saying that her boyfriend had taken her. I think if you shimmy it in to the right, we could be able to just pull it out. So, push it in to the right. Keep pushing it in. Now, try to move it out and then push it out. There you go. There we go. [Applause] So, are you sure mom's not in there? I don't know. I just stayed in my room. Stayed in my living room. We're already in. So, we're going to find out. So, I understand, right?

But you said that wasn't the truth that you weren't supposed to be staying inside. No. Yes. When we talked to you over there, I said you're not supposed to be here. That's so no contact order. Okay. I believe. Do you know if it's still active or no? No. So, okay. I imagine it might. I don't know for sure. I figured she told me I could come stay with her. I don't know. Okay.

So why wouldn't you just tell us the truth? We told you from the beginning we weren't there for you. We just wanted to make sure mom and mom was good. That's all. So what prompted you to lie to us? And um when you went in there and checked on her two days ago, did you know that she was deceased? If you would say so, we would say no. Okay. But was it apparently obvious to you that sir somebody smelling like that wouldn't be somebody who sir. So why didn't you call law enforcement when you found her deceased? You don't know. Okay.
