alcohol however the officers suspected that Tommy had other alterior motives for shooting amily he was taking into court where he pleaded guilty to his crime and was eventually sentenced to life in prison just like the case of Amy the next case takes to Florida where a welfare check leads to the discovery of a deceased woman courtesy of her son we're looking for Mom do you have you seen her do you know where she's at sister is asking for she's not in any trouble or anything like that I have noide you're going to tell me you didn't know Mom was in there on the 5th of May 2023 officers were dispatched to perform a welfare check on a woman after her sister placed an e call to the cops when she could not reach her for days upon arrival at the woman's residence they found it empty raising the suspicion that something sinister might have happened the officers tried to get some information about the woman from her neighbors but there was only little information that they could get they also met another neighbor of the woman who revealed something to the officer that raised suspicions 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 in the last couple days no like yelling or fighting or anything like that that we he they're pretty quiet for the most part but 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 so um do you know what color bike it was I didn't pay attention to okay was it just a bike or a tricle just like a full size like bike okay all right I can smell that you got close to the yeah DC is [Music] working after learning from the neighbor that the woman had a son who was staying with her the officer attempted to enter the house again while phoning the woman but both efforts didn't bring any result until the son finally revealed himself and made a shocking Revelation 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 you have you seen her she not around right now do you know where she's at sister is asking for she's not in any trouble or anything like that when was the last time you saw her few days ago where' she go [Music] is it that normal 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 when she's not home does she tell you anything out of the normal when she last time you saw her no what happened the last time you guys her together cigarett soap wash my hands told come stay back here okay but you haven't seen Mom since then when's the last time you text called

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 yeser 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 cled the door you could go in you could 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 him locking the doors behind him immediately raised the officer suspicion that there was something sinister in place however the officers didn't know that they were about to make a shocking Discovery how about this other little door that's over here it's uh it's just barric out with what uh garbage one some stuff so how do you get in the house cuz I feel like you're [ __ ] me what the hell what's the deal try you understand how how this looks right yes sir so why so how do you get in the house since you lock the door I'm probably sleep in the tent or are you not supposed to be in the house as I lock the door yes sir all right that's fine 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 whatever we can deal with that at a later point in time I really don't care about that my main goal is making sure Mom's okay find Mom and do that that's why we're here for we're not here for you cuz you sleep been 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 you mind doing that for us right [Music] now Washington f j and I think if you shimmy it in the right we could be able to just pull it [Music] out so push it into the right he push pushing it in now try to move it out and then push it out there you go there we go this Spike claiming not to know where his mom was the officers found the woman in the house however the state in which he was found was totally disturbing 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 I understand you're going to tell me you didn't know Mom was in there now got a whole big [Music] 400 431 of 400 47400 I'm going to need to come [Music] out just going to read you Miranda so you know your rights before anything happens okay all right so you have the right to remain silent anything you say can be used you in court do you

answering at any time you also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to your lawyer do you understand that so after being read these rights you still wish to talk to us we're not going to ask any questions at this point in time but just in case some at some [Music] yeah do you swear to affirm that the statement you're about to give is the whole truth but nothing but the truth yes sir when we first got here and talked to you you said you hadn't seen Mom and how long few days a few days when is is that that's your actual answer or what's what is the answer you want to swear to the last time you saw mom we were talking around the house here I mean I seen her riding a bike and uh she gave me a piece cigarettes and stuff and told me to stop back by the house later and I came stop back by the house later and we were talking and cleaning up the yard and cleaning up the house and everything and she told me how to stay inside and was a few days ago but you said that wasn't the truth that you weren't supposed to be staying [Music] inside yes when we talked 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 sir okay imag don't know for I fig she told me I okay what is there no contact order between you and Mom for you got while interrogating him the son tried to cover up the truth but it wasn't long before he gave it all up and made a disturbing confession she said I slapped her a buer it's a battery yes sir domestic stuff yes sir when's the last time you seen dad this last week I believe okay what did how did your conversation with Dad go to last time you saw him bad mad it wasn't bad it wasn't bad how was between Mom and Dad did they talk um the only thing I knew she told at that point in time when she got home she told me and him both to leave so I left and went walking somewhere and stay away do you know where Dad is at currently yes you know if Dad has a job no and you haven't talked to Dad since that night that night well I guess he got arrested that's what I heard and you laugh so you didn't get arrested okay and then your and Mom's relationship has been good as of as of late yeah did you notice anything different while you've been staying here did that raise any alarm to you a couple Mons did you go and check I did kind of look in there see I guess I should I mean I don't have a cellone or anything something so you saw her in the position that she's currently in now so why did you tell us that Mom wasn't there you know better than me I wasn't the one that did it so cuz I smel her before you ever even came outside then you're telling me mom not in there and you know damn well that she was in there yes sir and you're lying to me 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 well prompted you to lie to us s and um when you went in there and checked on her two days ago did you know that she was deceased why say so I would say no okay but was it apparently obvious to you that somebody smelling like that wouldn't be somebody so why didn't you call law enforcer when you found her deceased you don't know I don't know okay any idea why she is deceased what could have happened okay I really don't the son was eventually taken to jail where he was charged with failing to report death to a medical examiner to which he plad guilty however the cause of his mother's demise remained unknown our next stop is in

Channel c h a n n e l Island Drive Channel Island Drive in Austin Texas you said you haven't seen him for 6 eight months yes you know we used to see we we used to know that he was there because he would get Amazon and Uber Eats deliveries but since the beginning of the year probably February was the last time I saw something and I've been knocking at his door for randomly throughout day throughout the month of July and no answer in fact I just knocked on his door because he had four huge huge at least for me a be beehive walks Smith mhm and I was calling to ask for his permission to kill him because they were going they were flying into my yard he didn't answer I knocked I ran the doorbell nothing his AC I haven't heard his AC turn on either okay and um you haven't seen any movement in the house any lights turning on or off or anything not at all his fans is you know his yard you we we all know here in the neighborhood that you know it's been years since he kept up with it um so there's really nothing else for me to know that other than the deliveries from Amazon and over to to know that he's okay in response to the call officers were dispatched in the man's location upon arrival the officers began to knock on the door but got no response initially however when they finally got a response they came face to face with the unexpected must want to kick the front door

retreated to deescalate the situation but the man was ready for the situation to escalate greatly and what he did next rais the stakes to the roof hey drop the gun I think he went back in the house [Applause] hey no I can't see him did it go back in the house he was in the front yard when I fired he's in that brush I can't see him from this angle [Music] the situation became extremely tense as

more yeah he was standing out his porch when he started shooting [Music] coming sh I [Music] [Music] the standoff went on until midnight when the man finally walked out of the house and surrendered
