in Florida on May 5th 2023 deputies were
dispatched to conduct a welfare check on
a woman who hadn't been seen for several
days

outside you see somebody
[Applause]

while
how long would a wild be days months
three three years or something like that
when's the last time you've seen the
boys yesterday okay so nobody today
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
we're kind of new to the neighborhood
too yeah okay it's been a lot of
different things going on here so it's
weird
we're not used to it
no more more quiet yeah
you should live right down there behind
there Circle K in Cleveland Dalewood oh
yeah 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 the
older neighbors held 50 years boy and
they come up here and okay this is just
way different from me but I'm doing good
all right that's all that matters that
you guys are doing good yeah
just call the number right there that's
the non-emergency number if you see
Laney or anything yeah her sister's
looking forward 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 30s I'd say
30s yeah probably like early mid 30s
maybe okay yeah but uh he's only been
there for like a few weeks because the
tent wasn't there and then the tent
showed up and then he was around so
right any any commotions or anything in
the last couple days or before then
yelling or fighting or anything like
that nothing here they're pretty quiet
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 so um do you
know what color bike it was
like
okay already
but I can smell that smell familiar

AC is working

[Applause]
Missouri

but I can't
okay
check her out in all the hospitals and
see if she's there
[Applause]
after checking the hospitals deputies
returned to the house to continue
looking

knocked out
I'm glad you woke up because you're
about to come inside we're looking for
Mom 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

a few days ago
where'd she go
ES
[Music]
is it that normal for Mountain to be
going for
days at a time
sometimes
where does she usually go
does she have my 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
what happened the last time you guys
were together
a few cigarettes and a little bit of
food and
[Music]
some hand soap wash my hands and told me
I would come by stay back here
but you haven't seen Mom since then
when's the last time you text called or
anything like that okay
when was the last time you saw Dad
[Music]
do you know where he's staying at no
no it heard that she might have called
the cops long ago yeah he got arrested
the 25th of last month
for trespassing do you know who stays in
the tap well that's what I was saying
you could come before she left yeah
let her be right if they just went
inside to make sure she's had in there
huh I can't tell you no
okay
but you stay here and it's your mom's
house
and we're looking for mom so we just
want to make sure her 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 gonna tell me yesterday
then we're just gonna peek her head in
there real quick and then we'll come
back outside you can lead the way if
you're so pleased
you could go in but you could win
just lead us through it
oh wow do you have a key
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 up
with what
garbage can and some stuff so how do you
get in the house
because I feel like you're [ __ ] with
me what the hell what's the deal
do you understand how how this looks
right that's right
so why so how do you get in the house
since you lock the door I'm gonna
probably sleep in the tent or are you
not supposed to be in the house as I'm
going you lock the door yes sir all
right that's fine we're not worried
about that we just want to make sure
right now it's 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 yeah my main goal
is making sure Mom's okay find Mom and
do that so that's why we're here for
we're not here for you because you were
sleeping in the bed or whatever so 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 do you mind doing that
for us right now
all right
[Applause]
I think if you shimmy it into the right
it could be able to just pull it out
oh man so push it into the right
keep pushing it in now try to move it
out
and then push it out there you go
good
morning
[Applause]
are you sure mom's not in there
I don't know I just stayed in my room
stay in my living room we're already in
so we're gonna find out so
I understand
you're going to tell me you didn't know
Mom was in there
Kohl's 400 and haven't come out here

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 bro just in case yeah
do you swear to affirm that the
statement you're about to give is the
whole food for nothing but the truth yes
when we first got here and talked to you
said you hadn't seen Mom in how long
a few days a few days
when is is that the actual actual answer
or what's what is the answer you want to
swear to okay the last time you saw mom
we were talking around the house here I
mean yeah
I seen her riding a bike and
uh she gave me a few cigarettes and
stuff and told me to stop back by the
house later
and I can 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 I could stay
inside
a few days ago
but you said that wasn't the truth that
you weren't supposed to be staying
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
you know so
imagine your money I don't know for sure
I figured she told me I should come and
stay with her
I don't know
okay
what is there no contact order between
you and Mom for
you guys View
um said I slapped her a punched her
it's a battery yes sir okay domestic
stuff
when's the last time you've seen dad
this last week I believe okay
what did you how did your conversation
with Dad go the last time you saw him
between Mom and Dad did they talk
um the only thing I knew
at that point in time when she got home
she told me him books to leave so I left
and we're walking somewhere and you
stayed away do you know where Dad is at
currently
you know if that has a job
[Music]
and you haven't talked to Dad since that
night yesterday that night
okay
well I guess he got arrested that's what
I heard and you well actually you didn't
get arrested
okay
and then you're in 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 not raise any alarm to you
did you go and check
I mean I did kind of look in there
so you saw her in the position that
she's currently in now let's see
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 here's
I smelter before he ever even came
outside and you're telling me mom's not
in there and you know damn well that she
was in there yeah
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 Mama's good yeah
that's all so well prompted you to lie
to us
photo
and you um when you went in there and
checked on her two days ago did you know
that she was deceased
say so I won't say no
okay but apparently obvious to you that
somebody smelling like that wouldn't be
somebody okay
so why didn't you call law enforcement
when you found her Industries
you don't know
okay
any idea why she is deceased what could
have happened okay
I really don't I got you well that will
conclude our portion of our interviews
or anything you wish to add changes to
leave from what you told us have we
discussed anything off tip we have not
discussed on tape
all right that include this statement
the current time is 6 21 pm
