Short filmTranscript
00:04so what was the last time you spent time with Molly the last time me and Molly spent time
00:10together we went to a concert down in Dallas saw the band Tesla and had a ball sang along and
00:18we
00:20were making videos making vines recording laughing we stayed at one of the nicest hotels went to the
00:29the pool on the 17th floor and
00:39yeah
00:58we're in southern Oklahoma this area specifically where we're going back and forth between Carter
01:05County and Love County is a very different area than previous small towns that we visited because
01:13this is the heart of Indian country around here is Chickasaw and as you go east it's Choctaw and if
01:23you go north there's Cherokee so that there's three tribal nations within very short distance it's
01:32worth noting that today most of the residents of this area are white but it is still official
01:38Chickasaw nation land now Oklahoma has this dark distinction of being the state that has the
01:49highest number of missing people per capita and that disproportionately affects the Native American
01:57population here so many kids come up missing every day I don't understand what's being done about it
02:09this is Wilson Oklahoma it's a little small town inside of Carter County population less than 2,000 people but
02:17of
02:18the people who live here they've been here for generations and two of these very long-standing families were
02:25deeply affected in July of 2013 when Molly Miller 17 year old athlete at the high school and member of
02:35the
02:35Chickasaw nation went missing with her friend Colt Haynes 11 plus years later no one has any answers and
02:43recent changes in the way this case is being investigated are affecting the way that their families are able to
02:50get answers
02:53my name is Melissa Henderson and Molly Miller is my daughter Molly is Chickasaw being on my side of
03:02the family I was born and raised in Wilson does it feel like a safe place to live that used
03:10to I don't know
03:12that anywhere would really feel safe anymore the last text I got from Molly was on that Saturday she was
03:23going to the lake to hang out with her friends around the 4th of July I tried to call her
03:28number and
03:31someone answered the phone and they hung up and that I was really aggravating because I had not
03:36physically seen her had not heard from her it was time for her to come home I got a phone
03:43call an old
03:44family friend and he told me you need to get down here something ain't right my name is Garrett Lambert
03:52I'm Molly's brother part of me felt that Molly was fine this is just teenagers being teenagers because
04:01there's there's times when I was a teenager I wouldn't come home no I've taken many hours of
04:09sleep from my parents and grandparents by Monday I knew that something was wrong I went to the Wilson
04:17Police Department they just said not to panic it's not unusual that teenagers run away from home or
04:24they're mad at their parents in that situation they always encourage you to wait to let's give it time
04:36my name is Richard Parsley I was the captain of the Wilson Police Department in 2013 it was Sunday we
04:45were right in the middle of shift change when a black Honda turned into the parking lot and just did
04:54donuts slinging rocks all over my patrol car it was like they were taunting me so at that point I
05:04activated my lights and siren and I went after them they got a pursuit yeah it's a black 2012 Honda
05:10Accord
05:11the vehicle then turned left onto the South Highway I was able to call out the tag number to my
05:18dispatch
05:18and trying to call out every road that we're passing and direction we noticed he was heading towards
05:28Love County I clocked the car at about 120 miles an hour in a 65 mile per hour zone at
05:36this point this
05:37is a felony pursuit she advised they just turned on water moccasin now water moccasin road is the
05:46county line of Carter County and Love County the vehicle continued east and at that point it was all gravel
05:54roadway all the dust was kicking up in front of me and I lost sight of everything and I was
06:03losing control of my
06:04patrol car they're on a gravel road and they can't see them right at that point the Honda turned off
06:12all headlights and taillights I stopped pursuit because it was far too dangerous to continue
06:19are they still running with their lights open he's lost sight of them whenever I slowed down to it where
06:23I could see again the vehicles gone be advised we'll see the wrong side of the vehicle my dispatch was
06:30communicating everything to Love County Love County has side of the vehicle they are now in pursuit the Love County
06:36Sheriff's Office
06:37is an active pursuit of this vehicle at this point my unit's advised they do believe it's connet probably
06:43going to a Long Hollow Connet was a convicted fellow and con was living down on Long Hollow Road at
06:53this time
06:53my name is Joe Russell I was the sheriff of Love County in 2013 I called Officer Blagg and told
07:01him to to block Long Hollow Road and all he seen was dust when he got to Long Hollow Road
07:07and he followed the dust but nobody seen the car on Long Hollow Road so I didn't know which way
07:14it turned
07:15I had officers all over Long Hollow Road we searched for tire tracks or anywhere the vehicle could have gone
07:23it was a lot of wooded area and we couldn't see anywhere well they was out there to two either
07:32two or three o'clock in the morning it was like the car just disappeared
07:37on July 8th on July 8th the following day after the pursuit I was notified by Chief Fernandez that Molly
07:44Miller had been reported as a runaway I followed up with the first lead I had which was Jessica Williams
07:51the friend of Molly Miller the last time she talked to Molly she was with two other people at Colt
07:58Haynes and Connip
08:01while I was interviewing Jessica she said that Molly Colt and Conn were hiding out from the police because they
08:10were involved in the pursuit the other night I realized that was the same vehicle that I was involved in
08:18the pursuit in so after I was able to run the tags the vehicle returned to Sabrina Graham she was
08:26a friend of the Nip family
08:28Sabrina Sabrina had reported the vehicle stolen it was speculated that Connip was driving the vehicle and had in the
08:37car with them Molly Miller and Colt Haynes early on in the investigation we knew Connip's whereabouts he refused to
08:45speak to any law enforcement at that time and we could not locate Colt Haynes
08:54I'm pretty sure it was July 10th when Molly's cousin got a hold of me and asked if I had
09:01seen Colt or Molly and I told her I hadn't but I would try to get a hold of Colt
09:07and get back to her
09:09my name is Monique Stewart and Colt Haynes is my baby brother
09:14I started messaging Colt and I don't know I probably sent him 30 or 40 messages over the next two
09:20days
09:20just let me know you're okay let me know you're okay and then when he wasn't answering then I was
09:27getting worried
09:29when I went to file the missing persons report my older brother Jesse stood up and started saying no
09:35he's like you can't file a missing persons report they're in Wichita Falls I know they're in Wichita Falls
09:40so what's the big deal if I file a missing persons report if they're in Wichita Falls they find them
09:45in
09:46Wichita Falls then they can disregard the report kind of made me uncomfortable that he would argue
09:51with me about it I went home and tried to get a hold of Colt several more times and then
09:57on the 18th of
09:59July I went to Wilson and filed a missing persons report we began to put the cases together my hopes
10:07were
10:07they were they were just running and hiding there's nothing that we know of other than they are still
10:13missing I have a teenager and it is unimaginable that any mother would have to live any amount of time
10:31but especially not 11 plus years not knowing what happened to their kid there have been news stories
10:38podcasts you know TV shows coverage of this case and those stories are largely pushed by members of Molly's
10:47extended family but the person closest to her her mother Melissa Henderson has remained pretty silent so she's been
10:56gracious enough to invite us over today but we're also going to speak with Colt's sister Monique
11:03it's so nice to meet you I'm Hillary Monique nice to meet you how long have you two known each
11:10other
11:11we met when Colt and Molly went missing had you ever heard of Molly no I mean I talked to
11:19my brother
11:19often he's never told me about my mom Molly if we can get a sense from you guys who was
11:26Molly who was
11:28Colt and so I'll start with you Melissa well she was just a fun girl friends with everyone she was
11:36a
11:36ballplayer she was a dancer she was a lot more athletic than I was that's for sure she had grit
11:43and then
11:45what about Colt we were really really close I was nine when Colt was born so I put my baby
11:52dolls down
11:53and carried my little brother everywhere so you're practically a little mom yes and then when he got
12:02to being a teenager he just got into partying drugs and then he went to juvie for a while but
12:10got himself
12:11cleaned up after that and he was doing really good you know had a girlfriend had a baby and then
12:16they
12:17broke up and he fell apart again I would love to go back to July of 2013 did you know
12:28who she was with that
12:29night I was told that she was with con con nip mm-hmm and is that someone that you had
12:38known before I knew
12:41con's mother and then con's mother's parents knew my parents okay and I never had a concern about her
12:49being with him because I knew him yeah well I found out call was accounted for but Molly and Colt
12:58were MIA
12:59I didn't immediately think that con done something to them I thought you know maybe they had gotten lost
13:07out there what was the last communication that anyone had with them later I got in touch with
13:13one of Colt's friends who was like listen Colt called me asking to come pick him up on the 7th
13:21and was kind of frantic that he was lost out in the woods and they're trying to find the road
13:26and they
13:27can't get out and they've been walking they're hot so they're dehydrating fast
13:35my family owns property off of Pike Road and I can tell you that I would not want to be
13:40out
13:40there on a night in July in that area my name is Connor Choate and I'm the publisher of the
13:46Marietta
13:46Monitor here in Love County the area between Long Hollow and Pike Road off of Oswald Road is a rural
13:55part of
13:56our community and the area they went into would have had animals from wild hogs to rattlesnakes and you
14:05have to remember July in Oklahoma is not very friendly it can reach to temperatures of well past
14:12100 degrees you're talking about being in a wooded area it's thick you're scared you're nervous you're
14:19trying to get out of there you're lost you don't know where you are he told his friend he's like
14:27I climbed a tree trying to find a road and then he fell out of the tree and broke his
14:31ankle the bone
14:33was sticking out so he wasn't getting anywhere yeah on his own and poor little Molly there was no way
14:39she could drag him Colt was huge compared to her so she wasn't going to be able to help him
14:44yeah
14:44there was no way she was going to help him out of there the friend was on the phone was
14:49Colt so
14:50that friend had went down there looking driving up and down the road honking the horn to see if Colt
14:56could hear it yeah and Colt was like I can't hear it so at what point does this not become
15:03you know
15:04911 showing up and paramedics and people going out looking for two kids who are in peril that question
15:12she almost asked and they were like well we're not calling the cops we're down here with drugs
15:18we're not calling the cops on ourselves what about the calls that your daughter was making a lot of
15:25the people she called said the calls were dropping that she was breaking up because of the service down
15:31there after the chase around 12 57 a.m. on the morning of July 8th Molly Miller does make a
15:42call
15:42to 911 however that call disconnects the dispatcher tries to call back and cannot reach them allegedly
15:50the calls eventually stopped that morning around 9 30 so at that point all communication that Molly
15:58Miller and Colt Haynes had with the outside world ceased and they are never heard from again there's
16:06acres and acres and acres and acres of land that if you were down there and got you know injured
16:12people
16:12probably wouldn't find you for years there is absolutely nothing out there I mean you could fall
16:19off in a hole and nobody would ever know it there's a lot of theories on what happened when we
16:26look at it
16:26from a journalism perspective we really just try to stick to the facts what we do know about the case
16:31is
16:32that you have three people in a car con net Molly Miller and Colt Haynes one of them shows back
16:39up and
16:39then two of them have still yet to be found and I think that's what's led to a lot of
16:43people pointing
16:44at continent I did talk to con in the beginning and he said that he hadn't seen her and I
16:56was kind of
16:56disappointed that he didn't have any more information than what he had but he quit talking to me just
17:02early on it seemed like he knew something and he didn't want to tell us James content quickly wanted
17:08to distance himself from this case there was a lot of rumors going around but con done something to
17:16colt because con had reasons to be jealous of colt colt had a child with con's past girlfriend so he
17:24had
17:24all the reasons not to want colt alive I guess he was our person of interest because he was the
17:31last
17:32person to be with Molly Miller and colt Haynes well con told me and I interviewed him he said uh
17:40we got
17:41out of the car I said I asked Molly she want to go with me she said no I'm gonna
17:45go coat con left the
17:47car and he said I went home and they went the other direction colt was still alive when con got
17:55home in the morning colt's friend went to con's house while he's on the phone with colt con answered
18:01the door con I guess takes the phone so con and colt talked on the phone so we know colt
18:08was still alive
18:08when con got home the property where we lost sight of the vehicle turned out to be a family member
18:16of
18:16con nips who owned a lot of property in that area we were given permission by the family to search
18:30it was a Wilson PD case and we'd system any way we could I had one officer who stayed out
18:38there
18:39all week from sunup to sundown walking not driving around walking around they're looking for
18:47no it's two weeks later before we found the car on July 21st 2013 we received notification that the
18:56vehicle was found in between Pike and Long Hollow it was impounded untouched then they investigated the
19:07whole vehicle as if there was a crime scene there was nothing found in the vehicle you hear
19:15stories about people go missing all the time and everybody links hands searching through woods or
19:21fields does that ever happen in the area where this car chase ended we got access to the land where
19:28they found the car to do a search which was the end of August early September but as we're searching
19:38we're searching we've got the landowners on horseback with shotguns not letting us go in certain areas
19:46that sounds super fishy right oh they're not welcoming anybody especially not the cops there's some outlaw
19:55stuff going on down there they might have a stolen piece of property they might have a dope cook whatever
20:03as this investigation is going the Oklahoma State Highway Patrol is able to link James Kahn Nipp through
20:10phone records to the Honda Accord that Molly Miller and Colt Haynes were both inside of when they ran away
20:16from police the car that was left abandoned was actually owned by James Kahn Nipp's friend at the time
20:23she actually filed a theft report on the car being missing it turned out that there were text messages that
20:30showed that she knew where the vehicle was and that James Kahn Nipp had the vehicle she was later
20:36charged for filing a false police report and insurance fraud and Kahn Nipp was charged with
20:43endangering others while looting police officers and reckless driving and holding Kahn accountable it
20:51wasn't bringing Molly back it wasn't telling us where they were but it was it was something we have
20:59reports in the Marietta monitor that he verbatim told them I don't know what happened to them he could
21:06have easily been cooperative with law enforcement cleared himself but he didn't the only person he
21:13would speak with would be the sheriff Joe Russell there were several accusations on sheriff Russell that he was
21:23helping Kahn hide evidence helped him wipe the car all kinds of rumors about Joe being involved
21:32Joe Russell's also been in the area for many many years and it was widely known that he was related
21:40to
21:41James Kahn Nipp Joe Russell what is his affiliation with Kahn Nipp so Joe is Kahn's distant cousin okay but
21:52Joe was also a family friend of ours you know I was around Joe growing up my whole life what
21:59is your
21:59family's position on sheriff Joe Russell's potential for help well I thought being a family friend and it
22:06being in Love County at this point that he would at least try to help us but when I'll talk
22:12to him it
22:12was I don't know anything you're gonna have to go to somebody else that was it he never strike me
22:19as a bad
22:20guy but then you know now we're getting into this case and he's basically I can't help you so I
22:27did find
22:28it strange that he was refusing to help yeah you see the first week or the second week I called
22:35Joe
22:35Russell he told me I needed to call Wilson and talk to the chief there and I demanded and persisted
22:43and
22:43he hung up on me the relationship between Sheriff Joe Russell and James Kahn Nipp fueled a ton of
22:52speculation him being related to calling yes Joe Russell hindered the investigation so Joe why did you
23:02agree to talk to us today well I've been wanting to tell my story let people know you know what
23:13I
23:14done what I done and ain't done and they got to excuse me of trying to cover stuff up and
23:23worry no I was not
23:26covering up for for the Nipp family or no other family
23:38you can't stop people from telling rumors they just said that I knew who'd kill Colton Molly
23:46good and do you know what happened I have no idea what happened Colton Molly
23:53I think if Joe Russell wasn't sheriff that car would have been found that night
24:02and so what if Molly and Colt Joe messed this up
24:08in a small community like Love County it's not uncommon for someone to make a career out of being
24:14a sheriff when they get elected they're most likely going to serve in that position until they decide to
24:21move on or they do something really bad that gets them in trouble well Molly Miller went missing along
24:27with Colt Haynes in Love County three years ago the Miller family believes that Russell did not do
24:32enough to investigate because his nephew was a person of interest well today Russell was in court on an
24:38entirely different matter accused of harboring a fugitive and maintaining a meth house while serving
24:43a sheriff not long after Colt and Molly went missing Willie the sheriff's son got busted for dealing drugs
24:53the rumor was Sheriff Russell was allowing his son to deal out of his house and I think that there
25:02was
25:02even reports about he was harboring a girlfriend of his son's that he knew had an arrest warrant and the
25:09investigation
25:09was launched into him by the FBI now as far as I know Willie never sold no drugs out of
25:15my house
25:16and Willie's girlfriend uh supposedly girlfriend she come over one night but she was not living in my
25:24house and I did not know she had warrants Sheriff Joe Russell was ultimately charged with two felony charges
25:33from a news point of view when your sheriff is indicted and arrested by the FBI it's massive and so
25:39we had an influx of news media coming from all over to cover what was going on with Sheriff Joe
25:47Russell
25:48when I told my friends back in Dallas that I was going to be moving to Love County that was
25:51everything
25:52that everybody talked about was that hey you know that's where the sheriff got arrested
25:56my reaction when I found out that our sheriff was arrested they did not surprise me one bit
26:02during the time of the arrest of Joe Russell there were also accusations that he had allowed James
26:09Kahn Nipp to be in a room with evidence within the Love County Justice Center that was not under the
26:16watch
26:17of a Love County Sheriff's deputy all I could say is that's not true I never let Kahn go in
26:24the office
26:25and shut the door and visit with his family now with a lawyer yes but not with his family
26:31we always had somebody standing there watching them I never would give Kahn no special privileges or
26:40nothing the end result is really twofold Joe Russell lost all of his credibility and really just fueled the
26:57theories about his department the Love County Sheriff's Office and also about Molly Miller and Colt Haynes and he loses
27:05his position
27:14well my lawyer taught me to resign I told him I said I don't want to do this I really
27:20don't man he said Joe it's a good deal it's a good deal I said I understand that but I
27:25ain't guilty of nothing
27:25I mean I'm not wishing for Joe's demise but it was definitely a W to get Joe out of office
27:35well do you feel like the headlines about police corruption stole the spotlight oh absolutely
27:43yes your case you know and that's where I was getting so aggravated on so every so much focus
27:50being on him I still didn't care about anything about him and what he did okay I wanted to focus
27:55on
27:56my child there were rumors that they had seen Molly and Colt alive they were in Norman Oklahoma that they
28:05went to Wichita Falls Texas there were rumors that they were probably in California Jesse is the one
28:13that told me that you know Colt and Molly are in Wichita Falls you know they're down there having fun
28:18I was
28:21all over from Norman to Wichita Falls to Gainesville to Durant most of those leads never panned out
28:32even before the sheriff has to resign local law enforcement turned the case over to the OSBI the
28:40Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations I was not happy not happy that I couldn't do anything more
28:47I still wanted to find out what happened I think about it every day there's been all kinds of law
28:54enforcement to work this case early on you could tell the agencies weren't communicating and there's no
29:00urgency I was skeptical about the new agent but he actually took the time and listened and investigated
29:15he didn't give us any answers but started asking the right questions and the right questions being asked
29:21that gave me some hope once OSBI took over the case I do know that they most likely followed a
29:29bunch
29:29of leads however to my knowledge there was very little movement as far as any charges that were filed
29:36there was nothing of that nature that the OSBI did during that time frame I spoke with an OSBI officer
29:43he said every lead I have looked at has led nowhere nowhere
29:54I feel this case has been passed around to I couldn't even tell you how many agencies it's got
30:01to be upwards of 10 just back and forth feels a whole lot of not it to me
30:11in 2020 the Supreme Court ruled on a case called McGirt vs Oklahoma and this case essentially established the
30:20sovereignty of the tribal nations and with that sovereignty also comes that if something were
30:27to happen against a Native American on tribal land that local law enforcement or state law enforcement
30:34couldn't get involved in investigation it would be solely federal and tribal law enforcement it was a huge
30:41ruling for the state of Oklahoma because most of Oklahoma is tribal land the McGirt ruling for Molly Miller
30:49means that state and local law enforcement were not allowed to be the lead agency involved
30:56after 2020 due to Molly being part of the Chickasaw nation in the media coverage of Molly and Colt's case
31:09it's largely gone unmentioned that Molly is a member of the Chickasaw nation unfortunately Molly's case is not a
31:19rarity there is a disproportionate number of indigenous women who go missing every single
31:26year and talking about this epidemic is so important and so we are gonna go speak with Carissa Hodge and
31:34she runs an
31:35organization called MMIP Chadha and that's the missing and murdered indigenous people Chadha so I'd love to know from Carissa
31:45what a family is supposed to do in a situation like this
31:52Hi hello how are you good how are you I'm Carissa it's so nice to me to meet you as
31:58well
32:00Can you tell me what the purpose of the organization is we started it to help our indigenous people so
32:08in Oklahoma City we had 271 missing last year and in Tulsa
32:12Just last year?
32:13Yes.
32:13And then in Tulsa, we had 221.
32:16And so we had two cities out of Oklahoma that were some of the highest out of all the United
32:21States for missing Native people.
32:23I understand that, especially in this case that we're talking about of Molly Miller, you know, there's lots of jurisdictions
32:29at play here.
32:30And that's kind of true of any small town.
32:32There's the local PD.
32:33There's the county sheriff.
32:35There's the state.
32:36But the McGirt ruling has even taken that further.
32:40Yes.
32:40So the BIA is at Bureau of Indian Affairs.
32:43They are located here in Oklahoma, and they'll get involved in any missing or murdered cases that we have as
32:49long as it's on tribal land.
32:51Okay.
32:52There's also, for our own law enforcement, the Chickasaw Nation has a light horse.
32:56They're tribal police officers.
32:58Do you feel like if the BIA had been involved from the jump, we would be further along in this
33:03investigation?
33:04I 100% do, just because they do this all the time.
33:08The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a federal agency, and this agency allowed a fresh perspective on the disappearance of
33:16Molly Miller.
33:17And they have a lot more resources than state or local law enforcement does.
33:23Vincent Marcellino is the investigator for the BIA that's leading the case.
33:29And him and I talked at length about the investigation.
33:32He seemed that he had a really strong desire to see the case solved.
33:38But now, two years later, hearing nothing, there's not really movement, and it gets discouraging.
33:44Because, you know, as an investigator, he's getting more cases every single day.
33:50Vincent Marcellino, he is amazing, but they are completely overwhelmed.
33:54Yeah.
33:55We have four BIA detectives that cover Oklahoma.
33:58Four Bureau of Indian Affairs agents for the entire state.
34:02Why so few?
34:03I don't know if it's budgets or what it is.
34:07What do you say to families like Molly's and Colt's, who are left with no answers, I mean, this many
34:15years later?
34:16I tell them all the time, um, don't give up.
34:20Okay.
34:21Always say their name, always share their story, and continue finding resources.
34:26You know, it's never too late.
34:28Yeah.
34:30It sure is aggravating when people come to me saying, why haven't they done this, or why haven't they done
34:35that?
34:36And if you try to call and get information, there's still certain things they can't tell you.
34:40They'll tell you a little bit, but they still won't tell you everything that they know.
34:44If you were to go to a little local cafe around here, and the subject of Colt and Molly came
34:50up,
34:51it would pretty much be a unanimous thing that nothing was done the way it should have been done.
34:57There's no closure, and it's kind of a black eye on the county that nobody's seemed to be able to
35:04find what happened.
35:05Somebody knows where they are, but nobody's talking.
35:08Who do you think is responsible for your brother's disappearance?
35:13I wholeheartedly believe my oldest brother, Jesse, is the person that killed Colt and Molly.
35:25I was at my grandma's house talking to my brother, Jesse, and he told me that him and Colt had
35:31gotten into a fight over a girl.
35:32You know, Jesse just said, next time I see that little MF-er, I'm going to stab him.
35:39Growing up, if he would get mad, he would grab me by the throat and hold me up against the
35:44wall with my feet dangling until I turned blue.
35:47That's what we survived.
35:49I think that Jesse done it.
35:53I think there was a situation where the brothers got heated, and Jesse probably killed his brother.
36:00And Molly, Molly's not going to let it go.
36:02So they had to shut her up.
36:06Monique, did you ever speak with law enforcement about your older brother, Jesse?
36:11Yes.
36:12Okay.
36:13There was a private investigator hired.
36:16This is still pretty early on, about a year.
36:19And when he come in, I was telling him that I thought Jesse was involved.
36:24He was like, no, we know who did it.
36:25We just have to prove it.
36:26You need to quit spreading family rumors and keep your mouth shut about that.
36:30Jesse's not involved.
36:32So he made me feel about this toll because, you know, who accuses their brother?
36:38But he had motive.
36:40He had means.
36:41To me, that would be enough to investigate.
36:44Yeah.
36:46There are certain parts of this case that we know.
36:50We know that your brother Colt was making phone calls.
36:55Yeah.
36:55We know that he was near Connip's family compound.
37:01How would your brother Jesse have known where to find them?
37:07Well, I believe Conn or one of his family members called Jesse to come get Colt and Molly.
37:15So I believe that they went and got Jesse so they didn't have to get law enforcement involved.
37:23And I think Jesse took his chance while Colt was down and couldn't defend himself.
37:30And I think Molly just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
37:41And trying to live with the thought that your own brother is involved.
37:59And I'm the one pointing the finger.
38:10There's been a multitude of things that I've heard on what happened on the early morning of July 8th.
38:17I've heard that the NIPs were involved in some way.
38:21I've heard that Colt Haynes' brother might have had involvement.
38:25But the truth is, is that no one knows.
38:28And hopefully someone will know eventually and hopefully we'll all know eventually.
38:34We do not have an answer on what happened to them.
38:37And it's been 12 years this year.
38:39I lost the daughter of natural causes.
38:43And I used to tell people, I know how you feel.
38:46Well, you don't.
38:47I can't imagine how the Miller family feels.
38:51The Miller family and the Haynes family need closure.
38:55I always feel like I've not done enough.
38:57I mean, there's got to be something.
38:58I just hope no one ever has to go through a missing person or anyone missing.
39:04Because they're kind of on their own.
39:06I just want it to be over.
39:07You know, I just, I want the truth.
39:11What would it mean for you to have people come forward after all this time?
39:18It would mean everything to us.
39:21I want what's my brother's body, where he can be buried.
39:27And we can have the closure we need.
39:30For us to get answers.
39:32It'll take someone on their deathbed that doesn't want to take that with them.
39:38That's where we're at.
39:59The last thing that we know for sure is that Molly and Colt were on this road.
40:05And they ended up somewhere in these woods.
40:09And then everything else is speculation.
40:13We didn't come here trying to solve this case.
40:16That's not our job.
40:17Our job is to talk about the systemic failures.
40:22I think the call to action here is for law enforcement.
40:28So many different agencies have had their hand in this investigation.
40:32But what's been missing is the communication and the collaboration.
40:36And so my hope here is that by shining a light on this story, someone feels brave enough and safe
40:45enough to come forward.
40:47Because these families deserve to know what happened to their loved ones.
41:09And so my hope here is that by shining a light on this story, someone feels brave enough to come
41:21forward.
41:25And so my hope here is that by shining a light on this story, someone feels brave enough to come
41:51forward.
41:59You
