00:00This will be a reenactment of events that occurred on February 24th, 05.
00:12I come in the house, I hear Jessie's alarm clock moving off, and when I open the door, she wasn't there.
00:19She's gone!
00:22We've got the picture nationwide now.
00:25This investigation is wide open.
00:27I know she's out there.
00:28I hope she can hear it.
00:31Jessica was surrounded by bad guys.
00:34I'm not guilty of anything except loving her grandchild.
00:38Your first lesson is your name's on top of the list.
00:41Did you know Jessica?
00:43That's right.
00:43You never saw in your entire life?
00:47The clock has been ticking this whole time.
00:49Jessie might actually be alive.
00:51You have 48 hours.
00:54We've got to find out where Jessie is.
00:55Wake up, America.
00:57The next child could be yours.
00:58Look again, she's a nephew.
00:59Remember she moved away.
01:00It was four years of vuelta.
01:01This is her nephew.
01:02This is referred to her young man who's fl gosto.
01:03You've got to be reducing it.
01:04You're not.
01:04She's not doing anything except you're cheating.
01:05This is our main character in their next house.
01:06Then I was born here.
01:06Here you are.
01:07Give us a little tiny pool of life.
01:08I know what you've got to..
01:09Make you call him.
01:09Make you say me,
01:10Put your soul,
01:15Listen.
01:16net I know she's coming.
01:18Can I don't put you reach my truth?
01:20But I know that,
01:23Mother,
01:25I know you are looking at him to freeze.
01:28This is Jesse's room
01:34This is her artwork
01:37This may be the scene of a crime
01:41But it has become
01:43Peaceful
01:46The evilness
01:48Will never go away
01:50The pain, the hurt
01:52The details in your head
01:55Going over and over and over again
01:57About what happened to your child
01:58Life will never be normal again
02:02Everything between the grass being green
02:05And the sky being blue
02:06Will change
02:08When something like this happens in your life
02:10But for some unknown reason
02:13I find peace in here
02:15In 2005
02:24Mark Lunsford and his 9-year-old daughter
02:26Jesse Lunsford
02:27Are living in the seaside hamlet
02:29Of Homosassa, Florida
02:30Living in Homosassa is very laid back
02:35Seemed like a great rural place to live
02:38Me and Jesse used to
02:42We used to go to the beach a lot
02:43We'd go to Four Island Trail
02:45Which is also known as a radiation beach
02:48Because there's a nuclear plant right there
02:50It's really cool
02:51Mark is separated from Jesse's mother
02:57Angie Bryant
02:57Who lives in Ohio
02:59And Mark's raising Jesse on his own
03:01Mark Lunsford and Angie Bryant
03:06Divorced when Jesse was a year old
03:08Mark gains custody of Jesse
03:11I got no problem being a single father
03:14I was raised by good Christian people
03:17To be close to your children
03:19And that's what I did
03:21Mark really wanted to create a stable home life
03:24For his daughter Jesse
03:25And so he moves back home with his parents
03:28Archie and Ruth
03:29Jesse's grandmother Ruth
03:31Takes a huge maternal role in Jesse's life
03:34My mom was the most important woman in Jesse's life
03:38That was her grandma
03:39Jessica was a miracle
03:42Even though I had a lot of other grandchildren
03:46She was special
03:47She was neat
03:49And she was clean
03:51You didn't go in her room and find it a mess
03:54She had dirty clothes on
03:57It was coming off
03:58And she was going to go find something else to wear
04:01Stricted out after grandma
04:03We were always together
04:06Can you tell me your name?
04:08Hi, Jeff
04:09Jesse
04:09Jesse?
04:11Okay, how old are you?
04:12Four
04:13Four
04:13When you walked with her
04:15You didn't hold hands
04:17You hold little fingers
04:19See, that made her feel more grown up
04:22Holding just a little finger
04:25Just hooking your fingers together like that
04:28You never had to worry about Jesse
04:34She'd go out here and ride her bicycle
04:36But she went three or four doors down
04:38And that's as far as she would go
04:40She never would go out of sight
04:43I think no matter where we live
04:47We all think we're safe
04:48I guess in reality
04:52We probably shouldn't be so ignorant
04:54That night I was going to my girlfriends
05:04We had rules
05:06You had to have a hug and a kiss before you left
05:09Always
05:10So I get ready to leave
05:14And Jesse comes running out
05:15Telling me I can't leave
05:17Until I kiss and hug her
05:18Goodbye
05:19I always tucked her in
05:25I always made sure she was, you know
05:27Tucked in at night
05:28She had her dolphin
05:30Jesse had a stuffed animal
05:33It was a purple dolphin
05:34That I had won her at the fair
05:37Jesse liked the color purple
05:40That seemed to be one of her favorite colors
05:43And that night
05:46It was the last time that I kissed her
05:47And hugged her goodbye
05:48I got up the next morning to go to work
05:56I had to come home first
05:57It was just 5.30 in the morning
06:00Somewhere around there
06:02When I come home
06:03When I come in the door
06:04I could hear Jesse's alarm going off
06:07I go in her room to shut the alarm off
06:11When Jesse wasn't there
06:15I didn't think nothing about it
06:19I just walked over to my mom and dad's bedroom
06:21Asking them if Jesse was in there with them
06:24And they said no
06:25It wasn't like her
06:28But I thought at first
06:29Maybe she was hiding
06:30You know, in the house
06:31The panic set in
06:34When I seen she was gone
06:36Where's she at?
06:37And then it got really scary
06:42Just all of a sudden
06:44Fear took over
06:46You just feel it inside you
06:49It's not a good feeling
06:51What was the address of your emergency?
06:56Yes, we got child missing
06:57How old's the child?
06:59Nine
06:59Okay
07:00What is her name?
07:03Jessica Lunsford
07:04When was the last time you saw her?
07:07When she went to bed last night
07:08When I put her to bed
07:09What's her date of birth, ma'am?
07:12October 6, 1995
07:15Okay, ma'am
07:17We're getting you some help
07:18Okay, you stay on the line
07:19We have a nine-year-old child miss
07:23We immediately started activating
07:25Additional staff
07:26And we get to work
07:27I ran the multi-agency task force
07:33In a Jessica Lunsford case
07:34I walk into the house
07:36You've got Mark Lunsford in there
07:39He's upset
07:40He's frantic
07:41You've got his dad in there
07:42Trying to calm him down
07:43And you've got Mark's mother
07:45And she's trying to
07:46Keep everybody calmed down also
07:48I go into Jessica's bedroom
07:51I see no sign of foul play
07:53I see no disturbance that occurred in there at all
07:55We have to figure out
07:56Is this a real abduction
07:58Or is this just a runaway?
08:01Jessica Lunsford did not put on her school clothes
08:04Because they're laid out on a chair
08:05Jesse's jacket was still there
08:07And Jesse's shoes were still there
08:08It was a pretty cold day
08:11For Florida weather
08:12It was probably in the low 40s
08:14Maybe high 30s
08:16Bells and whistles
08:17Go off
08:18Because if she was a runaway
08:19Those things would have gone with her
08:22Ruth tells the sheriff
08:24That one of Jesse's prized possessions
08:26Is missing
08:26There was a purple dolphin
08:29That Mark had won at the county fair
08:31And given to Jessica
08:32And that was missing out of the bedroom
08:35Her shoes were still there
08:37Her clothes were still there
08:39But she takes her dolphin with her
08:41And what does this mean?
08:44Nothing seems to look right here
08:46It looked like a child abduction
08:48The clock is ticking
08:52If there's any hope of finding Jessica alive
08:55It's unfolding that you had an abduction
08:58And anybody that's in law enforcement
09:00Will tell you
09:01You have 48 hours
09:03We gotta find out where Jesse is
09:06We were starting to really ramp up the investigation
09:16We had pretty well ruled out
09:18That Jessica Lundford walked away
09:20Something bad had happened
09:22I was an emotional wreck
09:25You've come to realize that your daughter is gone
09:29The sheriff's deputy said he needed us
09:31All just to stay at the house
09:33Until the other detectives get here
09:35I'm like
09:35You guys have lost your minds
09:37This is my child
09:38And I said
09:39Screw you
09:40I'm looking for my dog
09:41And out the door I went
09:43I walked outside
09:46Hollering for Jesse
09:47I walked up to the street
09:49And was hollering for her
09:50Mark is just frantic
09:53He wants to be out there
09:54Looking for Jesse
09:55And as he goes in search of his daughter
09:57Police continue their investigation
09:59Inside the Lundsford home
10:00When you go into Jesse's room
10:04You see a pristine room
10:06When we had Ruth in there
10:08We asked
10:10Is there anything
10:11At a place
10:12It didn't take Ruth
10:14A nanosecond
10:15She says there's dirt on that pillow
10:17That wouldn't be there
10:18The dirt mark was the catalyst
10:21To really kick off this investigation
10:23Police focus in
10:26On that smudge of dirt
10:27On the pillow
10:27As a clue
10:29Showing that someone
10:30Came into the house
10:31An intruder
10:32And snatched her up
10:33All my training was
10:37Within a half a mile
10:38That's where
10:39The bad person is
10:40And possibly where Jesse is
10:42I wasn't leaving
10:43Until I found this little girl
10:45So police start
10:51Canvassing the neighborhood
10:52They don't have search warrants
10:54They don't have
10:55Really even
10:56A list of suspects
10:57They just are trying to figure out
10:58What happened
10:59Part of the investigation
11:00Is a neighborhood check
11:02The child abduction response team
11:0430 investigators
11:05From throughout the state of Florida
11:07Arrived in our community
11:08We had them
11:10Do the neighborhood check
11:11Go to each house
11:13Verify who lives there
11:15Verify who lives in the next house
11:17Ask an assortment of questions
11:19Have you seen anything
11:20Out of the ordinary
11:21One door that the police
11:24Knock on in the neighborhood
11:26Belongs to 49 year old
11:28Dorothy Dixon
11:28Dorothy Dixon's residence
11:32Was close to the
11:34Lunchford residence
11:34You had to cross the street
11:36And go down another street
11:38But you can look directly
11:39Into Jesse's house
11:40From there
11:41Dorothy Dixon
11:44Let's listen to the house
11:45And we were looking for
11:47Jessica and she says
11:48Well she's not here
11:49I don't know what I can tell you
11:51Dorothy explains
11:53That she lives there
11:54With three other people
11:55But her roommates
11:56Aren't home
11:57As a result
11:58Police can only search
12:00Communal areas
12:01Of the house
12:01Because they don't have a warrant
12:03They can't require anybody
12:04To let them search
12:05And so police can only look around
12:07Where they're given
12:08Permission to do so
12:09You can give somebody
12:10Permission to search
12:11An area that you have
12:13Access to
12:14But you can't give
12:15Permission to search
12:16A room that belongs
12:17To somebody else
12:18So you would think
12:20Dorothy
12:20You could say
12:20Search the whole trailer
12:22Do what you want to do
12:23But she can't
12:24If it's somebody else's room
12:25So we expanded our search
12:27To the neighbor's house
12:28To the neighbor's house
12:30And we keep expanding
12:31Expanding
12:31Expanding
12:32The search of
12:34Dorothy Dixon's residence
12:35Comes up empty
12:36But back at the
12:37Lunsford home
12:38Police notice something
12:40That catches their attention
12:41The Lunsford's
12:43Had a very little dog
12:44And when I knocked
12:45On the door
12:46Was given permission
12:47To come in
12:47That dog
12:48Was barking and barking
12:49And barking and barking
12:50That little dog
12:52Barked at everything
12:53In that house
12:54We asked Archie and Ruth
12:56Did you hear anything
12:57That night
12:58Did the dog bark
13:00Archie and Ruth said
13:02The dog did not bark
13:03At all through the evening
13:05The dog never barked
13:07That points towards
13:08The two men in the house
13:10Mark and his father
13:11Because who else
13:12Would the dog
13:13Be familiar with
13:14Who else
13:15Would be in there
13:16And Jessica
13:16Wouldn't say a word
13:17If they got her up
13:18To walk her out of the house
13:19This was all very suspicious
13:21To us
13:22It made us really
13:23Zero in
13:24On Mark and his dad
13:25A quick background check
13:28Of Mark and his father
13:29Archie
13:30Also raises some alarm bells
13:32We take a good look
13:34At Archie's criminal history
13:35He does have a criminal history
13:37We look at Mark's
13:38Mark does have
13:39A criminal history
13:40Mark has been arrested
13:42Several times
13:43For minor offenses
13:44And in the 1950s
13:46Archie faced charges
13:47For several crimes
13:48Including a kidnapping
13:49An assault
13:50And even
13:51An attempted rape
13:52All charges
13:54Against Mark and Archie
13:55Were eventually dropped
13:57But they definitely
13:58Catch the attention
13:59Of police
13:59Now we have
14:01A totally different picture
14:03Of what this family
14:04May be
14:04And we have got
14:05To confront that
14:06I asked Mark
14:08And Archie
14:08To come down
14:09To the sheriff's office
14:10I need to get them
14:11Separated
14:11Get them on videotape
14:13And start asking them
14:14Some pointed questions
14:15We got to be
14:21Hardcore right off the bat
14:22Because time is against us
14:24The more time goes by
14:25The harder it gets
14:26I don't have time
14:28To sugarcoat things
14:29There is nothing
14:30That can prepare you
14:32For what you have
14:34To go through
14:34In an investigation
14:36Your first lesson is
14:38Your name's on top
14:40Of the list
14:40My job here
14:41Is not to be
14:42Everybody's friend
14:43My job here
14:43Is to find out facts
14:44So Mark Lunsford
14:47Says that he's
14:47With his girlfriend
14:48Most of the night
14:49We really need
14:50To find your girlfriend
14:51Too
14:51Corbin?
14:52Yeah
14:53Yeah, she's easy
14:53To find
14:54We'll call her
14:55Because we're calling her
14:56And she's not calling us back
14:57We speak to her
14:58The stories line up
15:00I just want her back
15:01I'll be right back with you
15:03You're right back with you
15:04Mark showed true emotion
15:05There was no acting
15:07Going on in his part
15:08His child's missing
15:10And he wants to find out
15:12What happened to her
15:12At the same time
15:15Police are questioning Mark
15:16Another detective
15:18Is turning up the heat
15:19On Archie
15:20Some things
15:21Are going on
15:22Between you and Jess
15:23I think things
15:24Start to escalate
15:25Maybe she said something
15:26She's going to say
15:27Something to somebody
15:28I can't believe
15:30You're doing this
15:31Archie was a big guy
15:32He was kind of
15:33A rough guy
15:34This is a bunch of
15:35I mean I'm not guilty
15:38Of anything
15:39Except loving
15:40His grandchild
15:41He wasn't taking
15:43A lot of gut
15:44From anybody
15:45If you had to get
15:46An education
15:47To do this
15:47But your money
15:48Was wasted
15:49You think
15:51I ain't going to get mad
15:52I'm about to get
15:53To the point
15:53Where I can't take it
15:54He was just
15:57A great man
15:58He protected his family
16:00For someone to come up
16:02With this crazy ideal
16:03That my dad did this
16:05That's just so obscene
16:07And so far
16:08From anything
16:09I've ever known
16:10And it continued
16:12To get worse from there
16:13He said look
16:14Your dad's acting
16:15A little strange
16:16Why don't we put you
16:17In the room alone
16:18With your dad
16:19And you talk to him
16:20Mark went along with that
16:22Archie
16:23You're someone
16:25To talk to you
16:26Forgive me dad
16:27And I just
16:28They keep telling me
16:29That they think
16:29You know where it is
16:30Is that
16:30I just want Jesse
16:32That's all I want
16:34Dad I swear
16:43I'm going to blow up on him
16:44But I'm about to do
16:46The side of their
16:46Cures of me Mark
16:47I know
16:48That's what they've
16:49Come to me and said
16:50And I keep telling them
16:51My dad wouldn't do anything
16:53They keep telling me
16:55That they think
16:55You know where she's at
16:57If I knew you
16:59Forgive me
17:00Read that
17:01And I just
17:01But they keep
17:03Saying things to me
17:04There's just no way
17:06I just want Jesse
17:09That's all I want
17:10It's all about
17:12Those people
17:13It just seems like
17:16They were really
17:17Focused on their family
17:18And not so much
17:20On anyone on the outside
17:22For two days
17:27Mark and Archie
17:28Are questioned for
17:29Hours and hours and hours
17:30Police are really
17:32Focused on Archie
17:33They are convinced
17:34That it is an inside job
17:36The family know
17:37What happened
17:37To Jesse
17:38Hello
17:39I can't find her
17:44What am I going to do
17:46You want to interrogate
17:48The family until they
17:49Feel like they're in hell
17:50Go ahead
17:51But while you're doing that
17:53You'll find my daughter
17:54Police think
17:55They will find Jesse
17:57If we can get one of these
17:58Men to break down
17:59And eventually
18:00Both men agreed to do
18:01A polygraph test
18:02I gave Mark and Archie
18:04A lie detection examination
18:05And they both passed
18:07I report back to the sheriff
18:10That Mark and Archie
18:11Have nothing to do with this
18:13It took them a little while
18:15But they finally got the truth out
18:17And the truth was
18:18That our family
18:19Had nothing to do with it
18:20But you got to keep in mind
18:23Though man
18:24They walked into a scene
18:25There was no forced entry
18:27There was no screaming
18:30No barking dog
18:31It's just like
18:33She was just lifted
18:34Out of here
18:35Quietly
18:36So I get it
18:38But it still
18:39It still makes you angry
18:40With both men cleared
18:45Police turned their attention
18:46To the mother Angie
18:47There was a divorce
18:49In this family
18:50The mom was in Ohio
18:52The dad was here
18:53So we have to
18:54Figure out
18:55The dynamics of the family
18:56I always felt bad
19:01Because Angie
19:02Got a phone call
19:03From the police
19:05Asking her
19:05If she knew
19:06The whereabouts
19:06Of her daughter
19:07That she'd been abducted
19:09Investigators
19:11Are able to confirm
19:12The whereabouts
19:13Of Jesse's mom
19:13The night her daughter
19:14Disappeared
19:15The mother was up
19:16In Ohio
19:17So we could take her
19:18Out of the picture
19:19Of this abduction
19:20Mark Lunsford
19:24Came home
19:24To make a shocking
19:25Discovery
19:26Jessica was reported
19:27Missing Thursday morning
19:28The story of Jesse's
19:30Disappearance
19:31Is picked up
19:32By local TV stations
19:33And quickly
19:34Becomes national news
19:35Mark says
19:36When he arrived home
19:37The front door
19:38Was unlocked
19:39And Jesse
19:39Was gone
19:40I was in about
19:42Seventh grade
19:42When Jesse disappeared
19:43And I remember
19:44Seeing it on the news
19:45We were both
19:46From the south
19:47We were a few years apart
19:48I remember being
19:49Scared
19:50We've got the picture
19:51Nationwide now
19:52We've got the information
19:54Nationwide
19:54Wake up America
19:56The next child
19:57Will be yours
19:57I know
19:59How effective
20:00The media can be
20:01This young lady
20:02Jessica Lunsford
20:03Captured the world's heart
20:05I just asked you
20:07To please
20:07Help me find my daughter
20:09And bring her home
20:11I just want to know
20:13Where she's at
20:14Know what she's saying
20:15She needs to be
20:17With her family
20:18Leads are coming in
20:23Hundreds and hundreds
20:24Of leads
20:25An hour
20:25There is a strong will
20:27To keep the search going
20:29As time passes
20:30Many are starting
20:31To think the worst
20:32Your natural instincts
20:34Is telling you
20:35Time is of the essence
20:36I talk to God
20:38Every day
20:39I don't know
20:40I just begged him
20:42To bring her home
20:43Police now think
20:51Jessie was snatched
20:52By a stranger
20:52And this comes with
20:54Another really difficult
20:57Component attached
20:57Because statistically speaking
20:59If you're snatched
21:00By a stranger
21:00As a child
21:02Most likely
21:02There is a sexual
21:03Component involved
21:05And so now police
21:06Are fearing not only
21:07An abduction
21:08But also sexual abuse
21:09They go through
21:11The registry of
21:12Sex predators
21:13In the area
21:14We had 208 sex offenders
21:16In Citrus County
21:17Out of the 208
21:19Registered sex offenders
21:20In Citrus County
21:2150 of them lived
21:22Close by to Jessica
21:23So she was surrounded
21:25By bad guys
21:27And potential bad guys
21:29We started out
21:31With the 50 sex offenders
21:32In that neighborhood
21:33Checking where they were
21:35Getting an alibi
21:36Authenticating the alibi
21:38And then extended it
21:39Out to all 208
21:41In Citrus County
21:42They went one by one
21:44Door by door
21:44Looking for each of
21:45These sex predators
21:47When detectives arrive
21:49At one of the addresses
21:50On their list
21:51Something is off
21:52It's clear no one
21:54Has lived at the residence
21:55In quite some time
21:56This mobile home
21:58Had trash everywhere
22:00Looked like a wreck
22:01On the outside
22:02From what I understand
22:03It was a wreck
22:04On the inside
22:04Police are there
22:06To check 46 year old
22:07Registered sex offender
22:09John Cooey
22:09Off their list
22:10John Cooey
22:12Had about 24 arrests
22:13Everything from
22:14Carrying a concealed weapon
22:16And narcotics
22:17To lewd and lascivious
22:18Act on children
22:19He had a pretty long
22:21Rap sheet
22:21And he's no longer
22:23At the residence
22:23He's supposed to be at
22:25Police can't find
22:28John Cooey
22:28He's not where
22:29He said he is
22:30The desire to find
22:31John Cooey
22:31And figure out
22:32Where he is
22:32And what he knows
22:33Is of prime importance
22:35To investigators
22:36John Cooey had an
22:37Extensive criminal record
22:38Of misdemeanors
22:39And felonies
22:40But I will tell you
22:41The one that stands out
22:42Cooey broke into a house
22:44And was caught by the dad
22:46In his little girl's bedroom
22:48So days into the investigation
22:53As police are looking
22:54For John Cooey
22:55Everything stops
22:57When they get a call
22:57From a neighboring county
22:58About 70 miles away
23:00Sheriff from Hillsborough County
23:02Called me earlier
23:02This afternoon
23:03Advised me that they
23:04Had located a body
23:06Down there
23:06And it may match
23:07Our girl here
23:08The sheriff came by
23:21He didn't want to alarm us
23:23But he wanted us to know
23:24That while searching for Jesse
23:27They had found a body
23:29In a pond
23:30Tensions are high
23:32You're hearing a body
23:33In water
23:34They have a young girl's body
23:36In Lake Tejonesasa
23:38Which is about
23:3875 miles from here
23:40They tell us
23:41This is her
23:42It's Jessica
23:43But then they start
23:46Describing the body
23:47She was much older
23:48And there's a tattoo on her
23:49Of course Jessica
23:50Didn't have a tattoo
23:51We have confirmed
23:53That it is not our girl
23:54I repeat
23:55It is not our girl
23:56We were notified
23:57That she was a prostitute
23:59That's not uncommon
24:01Bodies get dumped
24:02All over the place
24:03Around here
24:03It's sad
24:04You know
24:05You look for one
24:06And you find somebody else
24:07Over a week has passed
24:13Since Jesse disappeared
24:14The nation is captivated
24:16By her story
24:17Jesse's name is
24:19All over the news
24:20Day in, day out
24:21The media are covering
24:22The story from every angle
24:24People want to help find her
24:26Desperate for clues
24:27Volunteers began searching
24:29Nearby wooded areas
24:30Again this morning
24:31You had 3,000 leads come in
24:34One of the leads came from
24:36Maddie Secord
24:37Cooey's niece
24:38Maddie Secord came in
24:41Because she knew
24:42John Cooey's history
24:43Of sexually assaulting people
24:45She told us Cooey was living
24:48At the house across the street
24:50From Jessica Lunsford
24:51But nobody knew it
24:53The home belongs to
24:55Dorothy Dixon
24:56Who it turns out
24:57Is John Cooey's sister
24:59This is significant
25:00Because Dorothy Dixon
25:01Is one of the people
25:03That police interviewed
25:05When they first were
25:05Canvassing the neighborhood
25:06They spoke with her
25:08They went into her home
25:09They looked around
25:10But there had been
25:11These limitations
25:12They hadn't been allowed
25:13In certain rooms
25:13They'd only been able
25:14To look at common spaces
25:15So now things are starting
25:17To fit together
25:18And they're concerned
25:19Did we actually go
25:20Into this home
25:21And maybe the kid
25:22Was there and we missed her
25:23Investigators race back
25:28To the residence
25:29This time
25:30With a search warrant
25:31Once detectives
25:37Got inside
25:39They go
25:39It's John Cooey's room
25:41They found a bloody mattress
25:43They also
25:45Found some speaker wire
25:47They turned it into
25:48Evidence for examination
25:50Police find evidence
25:51That Jesse
25:52She has been there
25:53But she's not
25:54Anywhere to be found now
25:56But when detectives
25:57Ask Dorothy Dixon
25:59Where her brother is
26:00They get a frustrating answer
26:02Dorothy said
26:04That she had
26:05Provided John Cooey
26:07With money
26:08For a bus ticket
26:09To leave town
26:10And that bus ticket
26:11Was to Savannah, Georgia
26:13Without a doubt
26:15In my mind
26:16Dorothy Dixon
26:17Bought that ticket
26:18To get him out of the house
26:19Because John Cooey
26:21Definitely compromised
26:22That whole family
26:23Simply by being there
26:25Without being registered
26:26Dorothy Dixon
26:27Says she never knew
26:28That Jesse was in the house
26:29She knew nothing
26:30Of what was going on
26:31In the bedroom
26:32Although Dorothy's actions
26:34Are suspicious
26:35Police focus
26:36On finding John Cooey
26:38There is also another man
26:46Detectives are desperately seeking
26:47They say some 3,000 clues
26:49Into their office
26:50Led them to this individual
26:52Law enforcement blasts
26:54John Cooey's name
26:55And picture everywhere
26:56And a homeless shelter worker
26:59In Augusta, Georgia
27:00Recognizes Cooey
27:02And calls the police
27:02I have a meeting
27:04With the sheriff
27:04And we decide to send
27:06Detectives up there
27:07To interview
27:07John Cooey
27:08John adamantly denies
27:28He has nothing to do with it
27:29He doesn't even know
27:30Who Jessica Lunsford is
27:31So they said
27:38Well we'll go ahead
27:39And give you a polygraph
27:39Up here
27:40And if it all comes good
27:41You know
27:41We'll move on
27:42So they subject
27:43John Cooey
27:44To a polygraph test
27:45And early in
27:47He breaks down
27:48That's where
27:49The detectives
27:50Came back in
27:51And got the confession
27:53We got called in this room
27:55Because you wanted
27:56To tell us something
27:57Yes sir
27:58You told me that you
28:00Had done something
28:01To Jessica
28:02I didn't really
28:03Do it though
28:04Okay
28:04Johnny listen to me
28:06You alright
28:08Like I told you before
28:11It's a disease
28:12I've done it before
28:13It just happened
28:16Didn't it
28:16Like I said
28:17It went one step
28:17Too far
28:18Didn't it
28:18Johnny listen
28:20I know it's going
28:21To be hard
28:21But you've got to
28:21Tell me from the start
28:22I went over there
28:25And took her out
28:25Of her house
28:26Who's
28:27Her house
28:28Who
28:28Who are you talking
28:29To Jessica's house
28:30In the midst of this
28:32John Cooey asked for a lawyer
28:33But police don't want to wait
28:35So they proceed anyway
28:37We didn't know
28:38Where Jessie was
28:39We got to find out
28:40Where Jessie is
28:41The sheriff made
28:41A tactical decision
28:42He said
28:43If this girl is still alive
28:44Someplace
28:45We need to find her
28:45If this statement
28:46Gets thrown out
28:47It gets thrown out
28:49How did you know
28:50She was even in there
28:51I didn't know
28:52Okay
28:53I just took the can
28:55And walked in
28:56Did you know
28:57Some girl lived over there
28:58Yes
28:59I seen her
28:59Walking up down the street
29:00So you knew
29:02She lived there
29:02Yes sir
29:03Did you walk back
29:04Into her room
29:05Yes sir
29:06I walked back
29:06Into her room
29:07John Cooey
29:08Entered the lunch
29:09For its house
29:10Through the door
29:11That was unlocked
29:12Woke her up
29:13That's where the
29:14Dirt sludge came
29:15From his hand
29:17What'd you say to her
29:19I said
29:20I just told her
29:20Come home with me
29:21Be quiet
29:22She done
29:24What I asked her
29:25Did she walk
29:26Out of the house
29:26With you
29:26Yes
29:27Walked out
29:27Did she take
29:28Her stuff
29:28Dogs
29:29Took her stuff
29:30A dolphin
29:31I want dogs
29:31Animal stuff
29:32A dolphin
29:33Dolphin
29:34Yes sir
29:35From what John Cooey
29:36Says
29:37It was simply
29:37A crime
29:38Of opportunity
29:38And it was
29:39Just by chance
29:40The dog
29:41Didn't wake up
29:41And start barking
29:42Dog never barked
29:44She never yelled
29:45Never screamed
29:46So she gets up
29:47She walks out of the house
29:48Yes sir
29:49Yes sir
29:49Where do you get
29:50I take care of my house
29:51Into your bedroom
29:52Yes sir
29:53What happens next
29:54My section
29:56Was solid
29:57And I'm a sick person
30:00I didn't mean to do
30:01What I did to the child
30:02I just
30:03I only know what I did to her
30:05Detectives continue
30:06To press John Cooey
30:08For answers
30:08And they're devastated
30:10To learn the truth
30:11First time they came around
30:14They would have came
30:15And they would have
30:15Called her in my closet
30:16Jessica was tied up
30:19In that closet
30:19With speaker wire
30:20Alive
30:21With the door cracked open
30:23With the TV on
30:24So she could watch
30:25Everybody searching for her
30:28I know she's out there
30:30I hope she can hear it
30:32And whoever's got her
30:34She needs to be
30:36With her family
30:37He's having her watch
30:39The search
30:40Looking for her
30:41And she can probably
30:41See out the window
30:42And hear the helicopters
30:43And the dogs
30:44And the commotion out there
30:45Probably one of the most
30:47Heast mind games
30:48I've ever seen in my life
30:50I need your help
30:52It's now been more than
30:54Two weeks
30:54Since they first
30:55Searched the house
30:56For an investigator
30:58I think it would be
30:59Incredibly difficult
31:01To know that you were
31:02So close
31:03Jesse was in the closet
31:04But you couldn't
31:05Search that bedroom
31:06Because you're not allowed
31:07Detectives are shocked
31:09To realize how close
31:11Jesse was
31:12The whole time
31:13And they missed it
31:14But John Cooey
31:16Still hasn't answered
31:17The most important question
31:19Where is Jesse now?
31:22Did she ever ask you
31:23And let her go home?
31:23She asked me when I went
31:24I was going to let her go
31:25And I told her I would let her go
31:26And I was going to let her go
31:29I was going to let her go
31:36And I was just going to let her go
31:39And I got scared
31:40I didn't let her go
31:41I should have just let her go
31:42I didn't
31:43On day three
31:45Cooey's just
31:46I don't know what I'm going to do
31:47The police have been here
31:48I don't want to get caught
31:50And I need to get rid of Jessica
31:52And now what happens?
31:56I put her in a bag
31:57What kind of bag?
31:58Flash the garbage bag
31:59What happened next?
32:02Went out there one night
32:03And dug a hole
32:04And put her in it
32:04Buried her
32:05Was she dead already?
32:07No
32:07She was still alive
32:08I buried her alive
32:09Where's her dolphin at?
32:13In there buried with her
32:14In the bag with her?
32:16Yes sir
32:16I let her keep her
32:17She wouldn't take her there
32:17When you put her inside
32:19Both those garbage bags
32:20When you put her inside
32:21That hole
32:22You knew she was going to die
32:23Didn't you?
32:23Yes sir
32:23I do that
32:24Johnny listen to me
32:28Johnny
32:29This is very important
32:31You can get a hold of yourself now
32:32How can you bring a kid
32:33On your dad
32:34I felt bad for her parents
32:36I took their child from them
32:38When you hear a confession like that
32:44And you receive a confession like that
32:46Everybody suffers with that
32:48The problem is
32:49We were responsible
32:50To bring her home
32:52So you
32:55Take that responsibility to heart
32:58I'm standing out here in the yard
33:04Sheriff's department
33:06Two deputies come flying down the road
33:08They stop right here
33:10In front of this house
33:11And they start taping it off
33:13And my sister came outside
33:17And I told her to go back inside
33:19And turn the TV off
33:20And she goes
33:22What's going on?
33:23I said
33:23They found me
33:24I didn't need them
33:29To tell me that
33:31Time went by
33:38All the bigwigs in the sheriff's department
33:41Showed up
33:42They get out
33:43They walk in my direction
33:44And I told them
33:45They need to come
33:45Near me
33:46You go in there
33:48And you tell that woman
33:49What happened to her granddaughter
33:51The officers came here
33:56To the house
33:57And we sat right in here
33:59In the front room
33:59And he got right down
34:01On his knees
34:01In front of me
34:02But I already knew
34:04We took Jessie out of that hole
34:23And started the process
34:25Of bringing her home
34:26Jessie died of an asphyxiation
34:29From being under
34:31Three or four feet of dirt
34:32In a plastic bag
34:34With her hands tied
34:35Behind her back
34:35I can't even describe
34:40How angry a man could be
34:43To find out
34:44That she's 150 yards
34:46From her own bedroom
34:47And every day
34:50I opened that door
34:51And looked out in this yard
34:52And asked God
34:53Where she was at
34:54He told me
34:55I just didn't hear
34:57She was right in front of me
35:00I asked God
35:02To just bring her home
35:04I won't ask you
35:06To bring her home
35:08In a certain way
35:09I just want you
35:11To bring her home
35:11So she came home
35:15John Cooey is charged
35:21With first degree murder
35:22Sexual battery
35:24Kidnapping
35:25And burglary
35:26He faces the death penalty
35:28Eventually police do charge
35:32Dorothy Dixon
35:32With obstruction of justice
35:33But these charges
35:34Had all been dropped
35:35We felt that Dorothy Dixon
35:37And Maddie Secord
35:39Were complicit
35:40In this case
35:41We arrested them
35:42We charged them
35:43But I couldn't make it stick
35:44The state attorney's office
35:46Wouldn't charge them
35:47Prosecutors started to lay out
35:51Their case against
35:51John Evander Cooey
35:52Accused of murdering
35:53Nine-year-old Jessica Lunsard
35:55In 2005
35:56The evidence will show
35:58That the one man
35:59Responsible for all of these acts
36:02Is sitting right there
36:03But the case hits a huge roadblock
36:06As the sheriff anticipated
36:08The judge does throw out
36:10John Cooey's confession
36:11Because the interview
36:12Continued after
36:13He had asked for a lawyer
36:15But we had the mattress
36:17And we had blood on it
36:19And we had DNA on it
36:20So we had enough
36:22Even without his confession
36:24The defendant took her
36:27Raped her
36:28Buried her alive
36:30And murdered her
36:31And put her
36:32In two garbage bags
36:34State of Florida
36:51Versus John Evander Cooey
36:52It is hereby
36:54Ordered and adjudged
36:55And for the murder
36:56Of Jessica Marie Lunsford
36:58This court sentences you
36:59John Evander Cooey
37:00To death
37:01My daughter got justice
37:03And he's gonna die
37:05And that felt good
37:07Adjourned
37:08You harmed a child
37:12One of God's children
37:13And you are to die
37:16You don't deserve
37:18To be on this earth
37:19That's not something
37:22That should make
37:22Anybody happy
37:23But when someone
37:24Hurts a child
37:25There isn't anyone
37:26More worthy of dying
37:28Than someone
37:29Who hurts a child
37:30A dead pedophile
37:33Cannot re-offend
37:34Ultimately
37:43John Cooey
37:44Dies from natural
37:45Causes in 2009
37:46Before his execution
37:48Could take place
37:49After Jesse's
37:55Horrific death
37:56Mark becomes
37:57This great child
37:58Advocate
37:59Making huge moves
38:00Within legislation
38:01After they found Jesse
38:04That's when my
38:05Advocacy began
38:06And that's how
38:07I pushed Jesse's law
38:09My job now
38:10Is to declare war
38:11On child sex offenders
38:13And predators
38:13To get you
38:14To join me
38:15Instead of them
38:16Stalking our kids
38:17We will stalk them
38:18Predators for war
38:20Jesse's law
38:23Was based on
38:24Sentencing guidelines
38:25Registration guidelines
38:27Where sex offenders
38:29Were allowed to go
38:30It increased a lot
38:33Of different penalties
38:34For sex offenders
38:35And people who
38:36Harbor sex offenders
38:37The law includes
38:39A mandatory minimum
38:40Sentence of 25 years
38:42In prison
38:42For certain sexual
38:44Offenses
38:44And lifetime electronic
38:46Monitoring for convicted
38:48Sex offenders
38:49With great pride
38:50I will sign the
38:51Jessica Lunsford Act
38:52Into law
38:53Thanks to Mark's
38:54Advocacy
38:55Jesse's law
38:56Is approved in Florida
38:57In 2005
38:58And goes into effect
38:59In more than
39:0040 other states
39:01Jesse's law
39:03Is her legacy
39:03But her legacy
39:05Extends past that law
39:07They came up
39:08With an idea
39:09For child advocacy centers
39:11And I got behind them
39:12And supported those
39:13We weren't able
39:16To save Jesse
39:17But we were able
39:18To give her a legacy
39:20This is the
39:21Child advocacy center
39:22That we created
39:23And named after
39:24Jessica Lunsford
39:25The intention
39:26Is to make
39:27Every child
39:28Who has experienced
39:29Violence and abuse
39:30Have a safe
39:31And comfortable
39:32Place to come
39:33And tell their story
39:34And begin their journey
39:35To recovery
39:35When you have
39:37A child advocacy center
39:38In your community
39:39Cases are stronger
39:40And criminal outcomes
39:42Are more successful
39:43Prosecution rates
39:44Go up
39:45I hope she is proud
39:47Of what we have built
39:48I hope she is proud
39:50Of the child advocacy center
39:51This is the memorial
40:01That was put up
40:02For Jesse
40:02I can tell you
40:08In time
40:08Whatever happened
40:10To your child
40:11It won't go away
40:13But it will be replaced
40:15And you will be
40:18Overwhelmed
40:19With memories
40:21Of the good times
40:23And less about
40:26What happened
40:26She changed our lives
40:29Forever
40:29She's always been with us
40:31She's not in the graveyard
40:33Her body's there
40:36But she's not there
40:37She's with us
40:38We used to argue
40:42Over who loved
40:44Each other the most
40:45I told her one time
40:47I love you more
40:49I love you more
40:49Just back and forth
40:50Like that
40:51I said
40:51I love you
40:52This much
40:53And that's all
40:53The way around
40:54And she said
40:56She said
41:00I love you
41:00This much
41:01And nothing
41:02Will come between us
41:03She stole everybody's heart
41:08She was
41:09She was a thief of hearts
41:11And if you met her
41:13You loved her
41:13She was a thief of heart
41:15And her
41:16She's a thief of heart
41:18She's a thief of happiness
41:18And she told her
41:19She grabbed her
41:19And she was
41:20And she told her
41:21She's a thief of control
41:21And she's like
41:22And she told her
41:22She was a thief of
41:23She killed her
41:23And she told her
41:23And she said
41:23And she told her
41:24I'm not her
41:25I love you
41:25Amém.
