TVTranscrição
00:00Today we will discuss two cases in which families fought tirelessly for a resolution.
00:06First case.
00:08A girl from a small town went out for a walk.
00:12and disappeared without a trace.
00:16His parents panicked immediately and called the police.
00:21But what happened next caused outrage in their close-knit community.
00:25This mystery remained unsolved for almost three decades.
00:31And only recently, detectives discovered the truth in a rather unexpected way.
00:41Daniele Holtzins was born on November 11, 1980, in Alexandria, Minnesota.
00:49Shortly after, her parents had two more children, a boy and a girl.
00:54When the youngest child was born, the family decided to move to a small town called Belgrade, Montana.
01:01The peaceful place was surrounded by mountains and far from big cities.
01:06But it was a popular tourist destination.
01:11Many people went there to ski or hike in the mountains.
01:15taking advantage of the picturesque nature.
01:17Daniele's parents chose the city primarily because they received job offers as ski patrol officers.
01:26This was perfect for both of them, as they loved spending as much time as possible outdoors.
01:32His passion extended to his children from a very young age, and the family was always ready for adventures.
01:38They enjoyed skiing, hiking, fishing, and boating on nearby rivers.
01:43Daniele herself became very interested in rock climbing, something easy to practice in the region.
01:49At the same time, Daniele excelled at school.
01:53She quickly became one of the best students and had big plans for the future.
01:58She dreamed of going to medical school and becoming a bioengineer.
02:06On September 21, 1996, the city was holding its annual festival.
02:14People gathered in the streets to listen to music, watch performances, and enjoy the day together.
02:21Daniele, who was 15 years old at the time, planned to meet her friends that night.
02:26But before that, I had a few free hours.
02:29Instead of staying home, he decided to go for a walk in the forest.
02:34Along the way, she met a colleague and took one last photo.
02:39Soon after, he took a walk along the trail near the river, on the outskirts of the city.
02:46Her mother asked her to be back by 2 p.m. and lent her her wristwatch, since
02:52Daniele didn't have one.
02:54She grabbed a bottle of water and left around 11:30 am, promising to return at the agreed time.
03:00But 2 PM came and went, and Daniele did not return.
03:05Her mother began to worry, especially since they were expecting visitors soon.
03:11Daniele must have lost track of time, her mother thought.
03:16She decided to go to the trail to bring it home.
03:19She took a friend with her, and the two drove to the parking lot near the start of the trail.
03:25The first thing they noticed was Daniele's white pickup truck.
03:30Despite her being only 15 years old, and technically not being able to drive without an adult,
03:36His parents sometimes allowed him to use the car.
03:39After all, it was a small, quiet town with little traffic.
03:43And Daniele was already a skilled driver.
03:47Her mother noticed that the truck doors were unlocked.
03:52But Daniele was nowhere to be found.
03:55She and her friend started walking along the trail toward the river.
03:59But they hadn't walked far before spotting the car keys.
04:02and Daniele's water bottle fallen on the floor.
04:06The mother became even more worried and started calling for her.
04:10turning back along the path from the parking lot to the river.
04:14When there was still no sign of Daniele,
04:16She wasted no time and went straight to the authorities to ask for help.
04:20At that moment, the mother imagined that Daniele might have fallen off a cliff.
04:25or if injured in an accident.
04:31Since he didn't have a cell phone, he drove to the police station.
04:35About an hour later, search teams arrived at the trail.
04:39The rescuers searched the trail,
04:41the surrounding forest and riverbanks,
04:44But they found no trace of Daniele.
04:47As night falls and temperatures drop to near zero,
04:52The rescuers decided to suspend the search until dawn.
04:58However, Daniele's family refused to go home.
05:02They continued searching for her.
05:04accompanied by friends and locals
05:07who split into groups to cover more ground.
05:10In one of these groups,
05:12There was a man and his two sons,
05:15friends of Daniele's sister.
05:17They entered the wooded area near the river,
05:21using flashlights to light the way.
05:24A few hundred meters from the parking lot,
05:27They noticed something strange in the water.
05:28and they approached to investigate.
05:31By illuminating the river,
05:33They realized it was Daniele's body.
05:35near the shore,
05:36in just a few centimeters of water.
05:39The man immediately realized.
05:41that she was dead
05:42and ran back to the car to alert the police.
05:45On the way to the police station, however,
05:48He found Daniele's father.
05:50and gave him the devastating news.
05:53The police examined the scene.
05:55and handed over Daniele's body.
05:57to medical specialists,
05:58which would require a few days
06:00to perform a proper analysis
06:02and determine the cause of death.
06:05Despite that,
06:07the sheriff quickly declared
06:08Everything indicated that it had been an accident.
06:11There were no visible injuries.
06:13or signs of violence.
06:15Initially,
06:17It was believed that Daniele
06:18It could have simply slipped.
06:20and drowned in the river.
06:22Daniele's family,
06:24devastated by the news of his death,
06:26I couldn't believe it.
06:28Since I was little,
06:29She spent a lot of time outdoors.
06:32I knew nature well.
06:33and was familiar with that trail.
06:36The parents didn't understand either.
06:39How could she have drowned?
06:41in such shallow waters.
06:43The sheriff stuck to his version of events.
06:45and did not initiate a proper investigation.
06:48But everything changed.
06:49when the medical examiners released their report.
06:53They discovered that Daniele
06:55It had several scratches and bruises.
06:57which looked like defensive wounds,
06:59indicating that she had retaliated against someone.
07:03They also noticed that her panties
07:05She had been pulled down.
07:08Experts considered it difficult.
07:10to imagine how this could have happened
07:12in an accident.
07:13Furthermore,
07:15They confirmed that Daniele had been abused.
07:17and they found a biological sample
07:20from an unknown man
07:21in her underwear.
07:23Regarding the cause of death,
07:25the forensic experts agreed
07:26that she had drowned,
07:28but everything indicated
07:29that someone held her underwater.
07:32Another intriguing detail,
07:34Daniele's watch,
07:36which should be on your wrist,
07:38It was found near the elbow.
07:40The experts suggested
07:42that the murderer
07:43He may have dragged her by the arms,
07:45causing the watch to slip
07:47while pulling her towards the river.
07:51Despite these findings,
07:53the forensic experts, for some reason,
07:55They still classified the death.
07:57as indeterminate.
08:00Although they were certain it was drowning,
08:03They did not find sufficient evidence.
08:05to prove conclusively
08:07that it was an intentional homicide.
08:09Because of this,
08:11The police did not open.
08:12a thorough investigation,
08:14while acknowledging that uncertainties remained.
08:16about what really happened to Daniele.
08:19Even so,
08:20They tried to gather more details.
08:23Upon examining her clothes,
08:25They found four strands of hair.
08:27in her panties,
08:28also belonging
08:29to an unknown man.
08:31They thought they were arm hairs.
08:33and they managed to extract
08:34a partial DNA sample.
08:37However,
08:38The FBI did not yet possess it.
08:40a national database
08:41DNA at the time.
08:43The only possible confirmation
08:44it was that the hairs
08:46and the male fluid
08:47found in Daniele
08:48They came from the same person.
08:50The police also re-examined
08:52the place where the body
08:53was found
08:54and discovered the footprint
08:55of a men's boot on the ground,
08:57but they were unable to determine
08:59if it was related to the case.
09:02Several potential suspects
09:04were questioned,
09:05but none could be linked
09:07to the crime.
09:08The problem was
09:09that the DNA sample
09:10was biased,
09:12making it impossible
09:13accurate comparisons.
09:14It's worth mentioning
09:15that many details of the case
09:17were kept secret,
09:19not only from the public,
09:20but even from Daniele's family.
09:22For a long time,
09:23They didn't even know.
09:24that she had been abused.
09:26From their point of view,
09:27It seemed that the police
09:28I really had no idea.
09:29of what had happened
09:30And I was still trying to understand.
09:33Despite the sheriff's position,
09:35some police officers
09:36They found it strange.
09:37of the case
09:38not having been reclassified
09:39like homicide.
09:40One of them
09:41It was Cindy Botek,
09:42who had joined
09:43in the police
09:44a few days before
09:45Regarding Daniele's death.
09:46She participated
09:47of the investigation
09:48and, from the beginning,
09:49I was convinced
09:51what was it about
09:52of a murder.
09:53However,
09:54at that time,
09:55she had no authority
09:57to go against
09:58your superiors
09:59and start
10:00a thorough investigation.
10:02All that I could do
10:03it was to question
10:04what really
10:05It had happened that day.
10:08One of the theories
10:09it was that the perpetrator
10:10I could meet Daniele,
10:12maybe a neighbor
10:13or friend.
10:15Botek spoke
10:16with the girl's parents,
10:17but they couldn't
10:18to think of no one
10:19that I wanted to do
10:20harm to the daughter.
10:22Daniele never
10:23had problems
10:23with classmates
10:25or any other
10:26person from the city.
10:31In the following months,
10:33there were almost none
10:34Progress on the case.
10:35The police continued
10:36interviewing people
10:37and consider
10:39several suspects,
10:40but due
10:41reluctantly
10:41of the sheriff
10:42to begin
10:43an investigation
10:44suitable,
10:45There was little they could do.
10:46Some officers,
10:48including Botek,
10:49They were perplexed.
10:50with the fact
10:51of the case
10:52not having been reclassified
10:53and nobody's
10:54to be actively
10:55Looking for the culprit.
10:57For them,
10:58It was obvious.
10:59that Daniele
11:00was attacked
11:01and that the person in charge
11:02could still
11:03to be living
11:04in your community.
11:06Some years later,
11:08the police
11:09tried to insert
11:10partial sample
11:11DNA
11:11found
11:12in Daniele's body
11:14in the database
11:15from the FBI.
11:16but none
11:16correspondence
11:17It was found.
11:19In the following years,
11:21your family
11:21I learned more details.
11:23Regarding the case,
11:24including the fact
11:25that she
11:25She was abused.
11:27They stayed
11:28outraged
11:29that the sheriff
11:30had it not been dealt with
11:31the case
11:31as it should
11:32from the beginning
11:33and that it had
11:34hidden information
11:35They are so critical of them.
11:37The sheriff,
11:38later,
11:39he stated that he never
11:40he considered the case
11:41an accident
11:42and always
11:43had believed
11:44what it was about
11:44of a murder,
11:46which contradicted
11:47your statements
11:48previous
11:49to the local newspapers,
11:50where clearly
11:51he stated
11:52there is no
11:53evidence
11:53sufficient
11:54to classify it
11:55as such.
11:57The parents
11:58by Daniele
11:58they also remembered
11:59him saying
12:00the same thing
12:00to them,
12:01which only increased
12:02your frustration
12:03and confusion.
12:04The sheriff,
12:05then,
12:05tried to transfer
12:06responsibility
12:07for forensic experts,
12:08insisting that the only
12:09reason for not having
12:10started a
12:11full investigation
12:12It was because they
12:14they had classified
12:15death as
12:16indeterminate.
12:18But the family
12:19by Daniele
12:20believed
12:20that the sheriff
12:21I was just
12:22trying to avoid
12:23responsibilities.
12:24Everyone understood.
12:26that an investigation
12:27adequate
12:28in the first few days
12:29after what happened
12:30could have helped
12:31to resolve the case
12:32and arrest the culprit,
12:34but little effort
12:35It was done.
12:36Now,
12:37many years later,
12:38find the person responsible
12:40had become
12:41much more difficult,
12:42with the clues
12:43already cooled down.
12:44Daniele's parents
12:46They continued to fight.
12:47through an investigation
12:48fair,
12:49but each attempt
12:50It led to an alley.
12:51No way out.
12:53Possibly,
12:53your younger sister
12:54took over the case,
12:56giving interviews
12:57to the local media,
12:58getting in touch
12:59with investigators
13:00and doing everything
13:01within your reach
13:02to ensure that,
13:04one day,
13:05Daniele's tormentor
13:06was to be found.
13:08In 2019,
13:1023 years later,
13:12Daniele's family
13:13He finally succeeded.
13:15reopen the investigation.
13:17Unfortunately,
13:18this did not lead
13:19no discovery
13:20significant.
13:21The database
13:23FBI DNA
13:24it wasn't showing yet
13:26correspondence
13:27and the reassessment
13:28of former suspects
13:29It led nowhere.
13:31leaving the case
13:32Stopped again.
13:33permanent.
13:35This situation
13:35continued until 2021,
13:38when a new sheriff
13:39took over the department
13:40local police.
13:42He had joined
13:43in the police force
13:44shortly before
13:45of Daniele's death
13:46and your case
13:47it haunted him
13:48since then.
13:50Like some
13:50from his colleagues,
13:52He had always believed.
13:53what it was about
13:53of a homicide
13:54and now he had authority
13:56to begin
13:57a thorough investigation.
13:58But after so many years,
14:00he had almost
14:01no solid clues,
14:03except for the sample
14:04partial DNA
14:05of the possible criminal.
14:07The sheriff realized.
14:09that the case needed
14:10from a new perspective.
14:11That's why,
14:12He brought in two external experts.
14:15A former investigator
14:16from California
14:17who was now working
14:18as a private investigator
14:19and a DNA expert.
14:21Together,
14:22they focused
14:24in identifying
14:24the owner of the hair
14:25and biological material
14:27found in the clothing
14:28Daniele's close friend.
14:30First,
14:31They sent the samples.
14:32to a laboratory
14:33in California
14:34that possessed
14:35some of the tools
14:36more advanced
14:37DNA analysis.
14:38Then,
14:39They waited.
14:40Around the same time,
14:42in August 2023,
14:45Daniele's case
14:46it was officially
14:47reclassified
14:48like homicide
14:49almost 27 years later.
14:52A few months later,
14:54at the beginning of 2024,
14:57laboratory specialists
14:58they got in touch
14:59with the investigators.
15:01They reported that,
15:02although they did not
15:03having come closer
15:04to identify the owner of the DNA,
15:07They achieved something important.
15:08Your tools
15:10allowed to extract
15:11a complete DNA profile,
15:12what still was
15:13a significant advance.
15:15The investigators,
15:17then,
15:17They sent these samples.
15:18to another laboratory
15:19in Virginia,
15:20in hope
15:21that they could use
15:22genetic genealogy
15:24to trace DNA
15:25even its owner.
15:27Several months have passed.
15:29until, finally,
15:30They received the call.
15:31that they were expecting.
15:32The experts
15:33from the Virginia laboratory
15:35They explained that they had
15:36profile loaded
15:37criminal's DNA
15:38in databases
15:40public genetics
15:41where people
15:42share
15:42voluntarily
15:43your DNA
15:44to find relatives.
15:46These databases
15:48They have already helped.
15:49solving many cases
15:50using genetic genealogy,
15:52tracking suspects
15:53through their
15:54family trees.
15:56But this time,
15:57things took
15:58an unexpected turn of events.
16:00To the surprise
16:01from the experts,
16:03they immediately
16:04they found
16:05a match
16:06perfect.
16:07It was discovered
16:08that the owner of the DNA
16:09had sent
16:10voluntarily
16:11your sample
16:12to the database,
16:13something that doesn't happen
16:14frequently.
16:16The man was
16:17Paul Hutchinson,
16:1855 years old,
16:20who lived
16:21in a small town
16:22called Dillon,
16:23approximately 160 kilometers
16:25from where
16:26Daniele was killed.
16:27The investigators
16:28they discovered
16:29which, at the time,
16:30Hutchinson
16:31He was 27 years old.
16:32and was a student
16:33at the University
16:34from Montana,
16:35just 19 kilometers
16:37from Belgrade.
16:38He possessed
16:39a diploma
16:39in biology
16:40and worked
16:41no Bureau
16:41Management
16:42of Lands
16:42from Montana.
16:43Paul was married
16:45and had two children.
16:46What did he call
16:47even more attention
16:48that was the fact
16:49of him not having
16:50criminal record,
16:52not even
16:53a minor infraction.
16:54Now that the police
16:55had identified
16:56your main suspect,
16:58they needed to obtain
16:59a sample
17:00direct
17:00of their DNA.
17:01On July 23rd,
17:04they went to their place
17:05work
17:05to interrogate him.
17:06Upon arrival
17:07to the building,
17:08They spotted Paul.
17:09outside
17:10with your colleagues
17:11work.
17:12The investigators
17:13they said they wanted
17:14ask some questions
17:15at the police station
17:16and, according to them,
17:17They could see him.
17:18To turn red.
17:20Even so,
17:21Paul agreed.
17:22to accompany them.
17:23The detectives
17:25They were strategic.
17:26starting by asking
17:28about other cases
17:29unresolved
17:30in the region.
17:30Paul remained
17:32relatively calm
17:33at the beginning,
17:34But everything changed.
17:35when they showed him
17:36a photo of Daniele.
17:38He suddenly
17:39He became extremely nervous.
17:41sweating,
17:42scratching face
17:43and even biting their nails.
17:44I could barely stand.
17:46and he even stumbled
17:47in a chair
17:48while trying to stand up.
17:49According to the police,
17:50your reaction
17:51It was almost
17:52a confession
17:53of guilt.
17:54However,
17:55Paul continued
17:56to deny
17:57any involvement
17:58in this case,
17:59but his confession
18:00It wasn't necessary.
18:01The detectives
18:02they collected
18:03a sample
18:04of your DNA
18:05and they sent it
18:06to the laboratory.
18:07For now,
18:08He was released.
18:09because there was no
18:10sufficient evidence
18:11to accuse him
18:12formally
18:13until completion
18:14of the exams.
18:16Immediately
18:17after the interrogation,
18:18the detectives
18:19contacted
18:20Daniele's sister
18:21and they said
18:22that finally
18:23they had found
18:24who took
18:25life
18:25of her sister.
18:26They added
18:27that the police
18:28I had no doubts.
18:29about his guilt
18:30and that the analysis
18:31DNA
18:31I would only confirm this.
18:33that.
18:34Daniele's sister,
18:35what had I expected
18:36almost 28 years
18:37for the moment,
18:38she felt relieved
18:40upon learning
18:40that the person in charge
18:41finally
18:42He would face justice.
18:43She knew that too.
18:45that there would still be
18:46a long process
18:47judicial
18:48until closure
18:49of the case.
18:50But the situation
18:52took a turn
18:53unexpected.
18:55The next day
18:56during questioning,
18:57when the police
18:58should receive
18:59the results
18:59of DNA,
19:01Paul called
19:02to the local police station
19:03saying that he needed
19:04for help.
19:06He informed
19:07your location
19:08and hung up.
19:10When the officers
19:11they arrived at the location,
19:11They found the car.
19:13of Paul
19:13parked
19:14by the side of the road.
19:16Inside the vehicle,
19:17They found his body.
19:18lifeless,
19:19with a weapon
19:20next to.
19:21During the investigation,
19:23the detectives
19:24They concluded that Paul
19:25had taken
19:26life itself.
19:27There was no
19:28no note
19:29in the car,
19:30but his reason
19:30It seemed clear.
19:31He probably
19:32realized that there was no
19:34how to avoid
19:34life imprisonment.
19:36For the wife
19:37and Paul's children,
19:39the whole situation
19:39It was a complete shock.
19:41None of them
19:42I knew what he
19:43had done
19:44almost 30 years earlier
19:45and not even
19:46they were aware
19:47that he had
19:48been questioned
19:49by the police.
19:50Paul's family
19:52I learned about the accusations.
19:53at the same moment
19:54in which she was informed
19:55of his death.
19:56Friends
19:57and colleagues
19:58Paul's work
19:59They remained equally
20:00shocked
20:01when the truth
20:02It came to light.
20:03Everyone saw him.
20:04like a man
20:05dedicated to the family
20:06and a friend
20:07reliable.
20:08Despite the impact
20:10for those who knew him,
20:11the detectives
20:12They had no doubts.
20:13of what Paul
20:14he was responsible
20:15because I took
20:16Daniele's life.
20:18In August 2024,
20:20the police carried out
20:22a press conference
20:22press
20:23where it was announced
20:24that Paul's DNA
20:25corresponded
20:26perfectly
20:27to the samples
20:28found
20:28in underwear
20:29of the victim.
20:30The police believe
20:31what was it about
20:32of a crime
20:32opportunity.
20:34There was no evidence.
20:35that Daniele
20:36I knew Paul.
20:37It's likely
20:38that they have
20:39if crossed
20:39near the trail
20:40and he decided
20:41abuse her,
20:42taking his life
20:43right away
20:44to avoid
20:44that would identify him.
20:47The family
20:48by Daniele
20:49admitted
20:50that the news
20:50of death
20:51of Paul
20:51It brought more relief.
20:53more than frustration
20:53even though he
20:55if it weren't to face
20:56a sentence
20:56of life imprisonment.
20:58What else
20:59It outraged them.
20:59I was thinking
21:00that he could
21:01having been arrested
21:02decades before
21:03if the local sheriff
21:04had taken
21:05The matter is serious.
21:06If that
21:07had it happened,
21:08Paul would not have
21:09enjoyed almost
21:1030 years of freedom,
21:12formed a family
21:14and lived a life
21:15calm.
21:16Paul's wife
21:18also expressed
21:19your condolences
21:20to the family
21:20by Daniele,
21:21stating that
21:22Not at all
21:23supported
21:24or justified
21:25what he had done.
21:27Second case,
21:28what was
21:29to be
21:30one night
21:30of joy
21:31and party
21:31for the family
21:32Freeman
21:32ended up having
21:33an outcome
21:34tragic.
21:36It all started
21:37with a fire
21:38on site.
21:39They found
21:40a family
21:41that was exterminated
21:42and from that same house
21:44two teenage girls
21:45disappeared
21:46without leaving a trace.
21:47While rumors
21:49about the two
21:50teenagers
21:51They accumulated.
21:52It appeared
21:53a conspiracy
21:53involving
21:54the police,
21:56local factions
21:57and the Mexican cartel.
21:59The disappearance
22:00of the girls
22:01was ignored
22:02by the police.
22:03Then,
22:04the family
22:05Bible
22:05assumed
22:06responsibility
22:07to find
22:08the answers,
22:09find the girls
22:11and knock down
22:12those in charge
22:12because of his disappearance.
22:17The family
22:18by Ashley,
22:19the Freemans,
22:20lived
22:21just
22:21one kilometer
22:22distance
22:23by Laura
22:23and from the Bibles.
22:25In the city
22:26de Welch,
22:26Oklahoma,
22:27in the United States.
22:28The two girls
22:30they met
22:30in the garden
22:31childhood
22:31and quickly
22:33became
22:33friends.
22:34A relationship
22:35which only deepened
22:36over the years.
22:37They created
22:38this link
22:39which continued
22:40in high school.
22:41As teenagers,
22:43Laura was a leader.
22:44fan club
22:45for the team
22:45basketball
22:46by Ashley
22:46and the two
22:47were closer
22:48more than ever before.
22:49What a
22:50I was thinking,
22:51the other
22:51I was there too.
22:52It's like
22:53when two people
22:54they manage to finish
22:55the phrase
22:55that the other
22:56it started.
22:58On December 29th
22:59from 1999,
23:02a few days
23:03after Christmas,
23:04Ashley invited
23:05Laura for
23:05your party
23:0616 years old,
23:08an order
23:08that his father,
23:09Jay,
23:10He couldn't refuse.
23:11I saw her
23:12arrive at the garage
23:13and she went in
23:14running at home
23:15and asked
23:15it could pass
23:16The night with Ashley.
23:17I said,
23:18you need to be
23:19at home at noon.
23:20and their last
23:22words were,
23:23I love you,
23:24father,
23:25and they left
23:26through the door.
23:26I didn't think
23:28something
23:28It could happen.
23:30Laura and Ashley
23:31they had a night
23:32wonderful
23:33at the Freemans' house,
23:35eating pizza
23:36and ice cream
23:37while they watched
23:38to movies.
23:39At first sight,
23:40Everything seemed fine,
23:41but on the side
23:42from outside the house,
23:43someone was
23:45observing.
23:46At six o'clock
23:47morning
23:48the following day,
23:49the police
23:50it received
23:50a connection
23:51of the neighbors.
23:53The house
23:54of the Freemans
23:54I was catching
23:56fire.
23:58Two hours
23:59after,
23:59a delegate
24:00from the department
24:00of the sheriff
24:01of the county
24:02by Craig
24:02invaded
24:03the place
24:03work
24:04mother
24:04Laura's.
24:05Your first
24:06words were,
24:07do you know
24:08Ashley Freeman?
24:09And the mother
24:10by Laura
24:10he responded,
24:11Yes,
24:12She is the best.
24:12friend of my
24:13daughter.
24:14In truth,
24:14Laura stayed
24:15at home
24:15of the Freemans
24:16last night.
24:17He,
24:18with a knot
24:18in the throat,
24:19he spoke,
24:19the house
24:20where was
24:21your daughter
24:21it was totally
24:23destroyed.
24:25Lorraine and Jay
24:26They ran to the scene.
24:27where the sheriff
24:28of the county
24:29he informed them
24:29that the girls
24:30They were missing.
24:32We just want
24:33to know where the girls
24:34they are.
24:35He knows,
24:36it doesn't matter
24:36who or what
24:37it happened.
24:38We just want
24:39our daughter
24:39back.
24:41Lorraine joined
24:42to the coroner
24:43and helped to identify
24:44the body
24:45by Kathy Freeman,
24:46Ashley's mother,
24:47found in the rubble.
24:50About that,
24:51Laura's father
24:52began to search
24:53the area of the fire
24:54on horseback
24:54and found
24:55shotgun cartridges
24:56empty
24:57near the property.
24:59It seemed,
24:59then,
25:00that this was not
25:01simply a fire,
25:02but also
25:03There was a shooting.
25:04At that time,
25:06they decided to call
25:07SBI,
25:08the Investigation Office
25:10of the State
25:11from Oklahoma.
25:12This one had
25:13full authority
25:14about the case
25:14and the investigator
25:16main,
25:17Steve Nutter,
25:18after collecting
25:19evidence at the scene,
25:20approached
25:21by Laura and Jay
25:22at the end of the day
25:23and they said
25:24that they had
25:25100% certain
25:27that they already had
25:28everything collected
25:29what mattered.
25:30Then,
25:31at 5 PM,
25:33they release
25:34the scene
25:34from the Freemans' house
25:36for families.
25:37Lorraine and Jay
25:38They stayed until midnight.
25:40searching the place
25:41and approximately
25:42at one in the morning,
25:43They returned home.
25:48The first thing
25:49what did they do
25:50He went for a run.
25:51to the room
25:52of the daughter,
25:52with hope
25:53that she had
25:54returned home.
25:56But she wasn't there.
25:59Tonight,
25:59they stayed awake
26:01and the thoughts
26:02they came as
26:03a whirlwind
26:04they wondered.
26:05Is she
26:06Are you feeling cold?
26:07Is she hungry?
26:09Is it?
26:10Hurt?
26:11They thought
26:12with himself.
26:14How can I eat?
26:15if my daughter
26:15it is not?
26:16How can I sleep?
26:17if I don't know
26:18Where is my daughter?
26:20After a night
26:21blank,
26:22The Bibles are back.
26:23to the scene of the fire
26:24in an attempt
26:26desperate
26:27to find
26:27More clues.
26:29Lorraine thought
26:30that perhaps the police
26:31had lost something
26:32and entered the rubble
26:34still steaming
26:35from the house.
26:36She realized
26:37a figure
26:37and as it approaches
26:39saw that it was
26:40a man's body.
26:41He had no face.
26:43no face.
26:44Immediately
26:45called 911
26:46and said that he was
26:48at the Freemans' house
26:49and that he had found
26:51another body
26:51in the fire,
26:52that those experts
26:54who stated
26:55that there was nothing left
26:56to find
26:57They didn't see a body.
26:59Before the agent
27:01Nutella
27:01and the OSB
27:02returned,
27:03Lorraine,
27:04Jay and his uncle
27:05by Ashley,
27:05Dwayne,
27:06They found more
27:07evidence in the house.
27:09Laura's bag,
27:10your wallet
27:11and a card
27:12car insurance
27:13belonging
27:14to a stranger.
27:15When they had
27:16to deliver
27:17your discoveries
27:18to the agent
27:18Nutter,
27:19they were
27:19rejected
27:20immediately.
27:22The comment
27:23it was his
27:23What the hell?
27:25It makes you think.
27:26that card
27:27verification
27:28insurance
27:28It has something to do with it.
27:29With what?
27:31And he simply
27:33turned his back
27:33ignoring the mother
27:35Laura's.
27:36While Lorraine
27:37and Jay
27:37they continued to search
27:39the remains of the house,
27:40Dwayne ran
27:41behind the agent
27:42Nutter.
27:43He said that
27:44managed to identify
27:45the body they found
27:46as being
27:47your half-brother,
27:48Danny,
27:49Ashley's father,
27:50because
27:51of a plate
27:51metal
27:52in his skull.
27:53This was disturbing.
27:54Nutter,
27:55that he was convinced
27:56that Danny
27:57had taken a life
27:58of his wife,
27:59Kathy,
27:59and kidnapped
28:00The girls.
28:02But Dwayne
28:03I had another theory,
28:04one that your
28:05half-brother
28:05had revealed
28:06only to him
28:07one week
28:08before the fire.
28:09He said,
28:10If something happens
28:11with me,
28:12look at the
28:13Sheriff's department.
28:14And I asked,
28:16What do you
28:17Are you talking?
28:18He looked at me.
28:19He looked me in the eyes and said,
28:20I'm telling you,
28:21if I disappear,
28:23look at the
28:24Sheriff's department.
28:25Dwayne continued
28:26explaining that,
28:28a year ago,
28:28a delegate took
28:30the son's life
28:31by Danny,
28:32Shane,
28:32in a confrontation.
28:34Since then,
28:35There was resentment.
28:36between the Freemans
28:36and the department
28:37From the sheriff.
28:39Nutter was skeptical.
28:40but agreed
28:41in investigating
28:42the sheriff
28:42and their delegates.
28:43And the next day,
28:45he said,
28:45We investigated
28:47the possible
28:47involvement
28:48of members
28:49from the department
28:49From the sheriff.
28:50We applied tests.
28:52of the detector
28:52of lies.
28:54They passed
28:55in the tests,
28:55indicating that never
28:57were involved
28:58in that incident.
29:00This development
29:01It had consequences.
29:02terrible.
29:03Since the body
29:04by Danny
29:05was found
29:05and the department
29:06of the sheriff
29:07He was acquitted.
29:08as a suspect,
29:09Nutella
29:10turned his attention
29:11for the group
29:12unexpected,
29:13the girls themselves.
29:15Due to the status
29:17of them as suspects,
29:18no alert Amber
29:19was issued
29:20for Laura
29:21and Ashley.
29:23Nutella
29:23told the family
29:24Bible
29:24that had added
29:26the girls
29:26to the Database
29:27National
29:28of People
29:28Missing,
29:29but Lorraine
29:31I wasn't sure.
29:32He could be trusted.
29:33Then,
29:34He went to the police station.
29:35To check.
29:37One of the police officers
29:38family acquaintance
29:39at her request
29:40checked if the girls
29:41were registered
29:42as missing.
29:45and after checking
29:46he said
29:46Lorraine,
29:48these girls
29:48They are not in the system.
29:50Although all
29:51in the city knew
29:52that none of the girls
29:54was behind
29:55from the fire,
29:56that this theory
29:56It made no sense.
29:58Both the agent
29:59Nutella
29:59and the OSB
30:00they kept
30:01your theory
30:02that they were
30:03to those in charge
30:04and they were fugitives.
30:08Left to their own devices,
30:10Lorraine and Jay
30:11They had no other choice.
30:13unless to continue
30:14The search on one's own.
30:17Together with members
30:18of the family,
30:19They searched the county.
30:20in search of clues
30:21and they printed
30:22your own posters
30:24of missing persons.
30:25Regarding this,
30:26Jay reported.
30:28They can say
30:29Whatever they want.
30:30There was nobody there.
30:31looking for the girls
30:33Besides my family.
30:34We simply
30:35we couldn't
30:36stand still
30:37and do nothing.
30:39We made some posters.
30:41that could be placed
30:42in the rear
30:43of the trucks.
30:44Lorraine and I
30:45we drove hundreds
30:46thousands of kilometers,
30:47putting their faces
30:49in all windows
30:50that we were able to include.
30:52A whole year
30:53it happened
30:53with no progress.
30:55When Christmas
30:56was approaching,
30:57Lorraine was getting ready.
30:58for the first Christmas
30:59of the Bibles
31:00without her daughter.
31:02Christmas
31:03It wasn't like before.
31:04No reason
31:05to celebrate.
31:07During the following year,
31:09hope
31:09decreased
31:10for Bible readers,
31:11although,
31:12Lorraine couldn't.
31:13Giving up on Laura
31:14and Ashley.
31:14She was convinced.
31:16that they still
31:16were alive
31:17somewhere.
31:19Your son
31:20it disappeared
31:21off the face of the Earth.
31:22Most people
31:23it says,
31:23how do you find
31:24Do you have the courage to continue?
31:26It's because I can't.
31:27Resting without answers.
31:29I don't want to be
31:29a mother
31:30and not knowing
31:30where is
31:31my daughter.
31:32At that time,
31:33started circulating
31:34various rumors
31:35about the father
31:36Ashley's.
31:37Danny.
31:38He was trying
31:39collect
31:40a large amount
31:41money
31:41to process
31:42the sheriff
31:43and the policeman
31:44responsible
31:45by death
31:45of your son.
31:47For that,
31:47started selling
31:48and cultivate
31:50cannabis.
31:50A few months
31:51before the fire,
31:52the rumors
31:53They said that Danny
31:54I had incurred a debt,
31:55but he didn't pay
31:56the money
31:57for people
31:57certain,
31:58then they
31:59They made contact,
32:00collecting the debt.
32:02Although,
32:03the agent
32:03Nutella
32:04and OSBI
32:05they didn't give
32:05importance given to this,
32:07saying that,
32:08if that were the case,
32:09It didn't make sense.
32:10take the girls.
32:13Lorraine a little
32:14did he care
32:15with the opinion
32:16Nutter.
32:16Instead,
32:18she found
32:19someone who had
32:19contacts
32:20at the top
32:21of the hierarchy
32:22criminal.
32:23He realized
32:24the mother's pain
32:25and told him
32:26that they needed
32:27look in the area
32:28from Miami
32:29in the Mexican cartel.
32:30And Lorraine replied,
32:33I want to find
32:34my daughter
32:35And where will I go?
32:35if I have to go
32:36and I will do what
32:37if necessary
32:38to find her.
32:40Lorraine took
32:41your decision.
32:43Against their will
32:43of the husband
32:44and of the family,
32:45she would
32:46to find
32:47with the cartel.
32:48Jay's mother
32:49tried to convince her
32:50to give up,
32:51saying that
32:52risk
32:53your own life
32:54I wouldn't bring it.
32:55Laura is back.
32:56She said,
32:57What if they shoot?
32:58In you?
32:59And I replied,
33:01Good,
33:01if they start
33:02shooting at me
33:03It's because I am
33:04close to the truth.
33:07In a dark alley
33:08in Miami,
33:09Lorraine parked
33:10your pickup truck
33:11at the meeting place.
33:13For hours,
33:14she waited
33:14the man arrive
33:15and get out of your vehicle
33:17before approaching
33:18of him slowly.
33:20He said,
33:21How do you know?
33:22That I'm not armed?
33:23And I replied,
33:24How do you know?
33:25That I'm not armed?
33:26And at that moment
33:28he said,
33:29You weren't afraid
33:30Can you talk to me?
33:32And I said,
33:33No.
33:34I need to know
33:36if the girls
33:36were kidnapped
33:38What if Danny
33:39He was killed.
33:39because he owed money
33:40for you.
33:41And he said
33:42of two things,
33:43Madam,
33:44I don't kill women.
33:45And I don't kill children.
33:47I believed him.
33:48100%.
33:50Back
33:51Back to Square Zero,
33:52the Babables
33:53continued
33:53investigating
33:54each clue
33:55until a revelation
33:56A bittersweet outcome arose.
33:58An informant
33:59unofficial
33:59said that the girls
34:01they could still
34:01to be alive,
34:02but maintained
34:03in terrible conditions.
34:05We were told
34:06that there were photos
34:07of the girls
34:08tied up
34:08and gagged,
34:10that were being maintained
34:11against their will
34:12of them
34:13and other things.
34:14After the press
34:15revealed that photos
34:16Polaroid of the girls
34:18were circulating,
34:19an infinity
34:20of clues
34:21It started to arrive.
34:22A situation
34:23that bothered
34:24deeply
34:24Nutella
34:25and the ISB.
34:27This continued
34:28along
34:28most
34:29of the 2000s,
34:31with Lauren
34:31and Jay on the road,
34:33while the agent
34:34Nutella
34:34searched
34:35hundreds of tips
34:37that your service
34:37I received it every week.
34:39Until a suspect
34:41completely
34:41unrelated
34:43emerged from the unit
34:44of Death Row
34:45in Texas,
34:46in Livingstone,
34:47the famous serial killer
34:49Tommy Lynn Sells,
34:50who was known
34:51for having left
34:52a trail of victims
34:54cross country.
34:55Sells
34:56seemed to know
34:56a lot about the case
34:57and even proposed
34:59take Nutter
34:59even the bodies
35:00by Laura
35:01and Ashley.
35:02The agent
35:03I had my doubts.
35:04with regard to the prisoner,
35:05but after five years
35:07without any progress,
35:08They had nothing left.
35:10to lose.
35:10was found
35:12a bone
35:12on site
35:12and they called
35:13a doctor
35:14to examine it
35:15and he identified
35:16as being from an animal.
35:19I went there
35:19the Bible family
35:20and said to them
35:21that Tommy Sells
35:22He played a prank on us.
35:24He wasn't
35:25the person in charge,
35:25I just wanted to have fun.
35:27He laughed a lot.
35:28when I found out
35:28what we think
35:29bones of an animal.
35:31After this event
35:32and the distancing
35:33of Nutter,
35:34no new information
35:35It appeared.
35:36The case remained
35:37completely still.
35:38In December 2009,
35:41while the tree
35:42Laura's Christmas
35:43remained motionless,
35:44waiting for her,
35:46overloaded
35:46by the hundreds
35:47cards
35:48and amulets
35:48that Laura
35:49had received
35:50since his disappearance,
35:52the tree
35:53It collapsed.
35:54After all this time,
35:56the family
35:57had to accept
35:58reality.
36:00It took a long time.
36:01even I really
36:02get to the point
36:03to accept the fact
36:04that probably
36:05they weren't
36:07more alive.
36:08Tammy Ferrari,
36:09a new agent
36:10from OSBI,
36:11was appointed
36:12to reopen the case
36:14and search
36:14the evidence box.
36:16When did they begin?
36:17reading the file
36:18of the case,
36:18there was a mention
36:19to an insurance card
36:20which was located
36:21on site.
36:22This insurance card
36:24It was the find.
36:25by Lorraine.
36:26On site,
36:26the next day
36:27to disappearance
36:28and that had been
36:29completely ignored
36:31by the investigators
36:32previous.
36:33Although,
36:34the new investigators
36:36they considered
36:36that could be
36:37an important clue
36:38and the first
36:39what did they do
36:40went to look
36:41the name
36:41that appeared
36:42On the card.
36:43Upon finding
36:44the owner
36:45from the card,
36:46the police
36:47finally concluded
36:48like polaroids
36:49They were real.
36:50Not only
36:51the cardholder
36:52He saw them,
36:52she was
36:53the ex-girlfriend
36:54by David Pennington,
36:55one of the three men
36:57that they distributed
36:57the photos.
36:58Then,
36:59they started to investigate
37:00The three of them.
37:01They discovered that
37:02Phil Welch
37:03He was already deceased.
37:04David Pennington
37:06He was deceased.
37:07Although,
37:08Ronnie Busick
37:09He was still alive.
37:11People
37:12they said
37:12that he was
37:13pure evil,
37:14that he was
37:15The devil.
37:16There were people
37:16that were
37:17simply
37:17terrified of him.
37:19Ronnie Busick
37:20and your group
37:21were part
37:22of a scheme
37:22trafficking
37:23no connection
37:24with the cartel
37:25and they were
37:25individuals
37:26extremely
37:27dangerous.
37:29Lorraine
37:29I knew that
37:30the twelve people
37:31that supposedly
37:32they had seen
37:33polaroids
37:34probably
37:35They were afraid.
37:36too much of him
37:37to introduce themselves.
37:38But there was no
37:39how to convince
37:40a judge
37:40to sign
37:41a warrant
37:42search
37:42with only
37:43a witness.
37:44Then,
37:45in a final
37:46attempt,
37:47Lorraine
37:48created a page
37:49on Facebook
37:49and reappeared
37:50on TV
37:51once again.
37:52Lisa Broderick,
37:53Laura's cousin,
37:54campaigned
37:55along with her.
37:56The only thing we asked for
37:58that they look
37:58for their own
37:59children and grandchildren
38:00and if they know
38:01of something,
38:02Please,
38:02Tell us.
38:03Please,
38:04help us
38:04to find them
38:05and bring them
38:05home.
38:06That's all.
38:07what we want.
38:08We just want
38:09our girls
38:10back.
38:11Miraculously,
38:13after that request,
38:14all twelve
38:15witnesses,
38:16mostly
38:17girlfriends and relatives
38:19of the three men,
38:20They introduced themselves.
38:21More than half
38:22of the witnesses
38:23they remembered
38:24having seen
38:25Polaroid photos
38:26of the girls
38:26tied up,
38:27with the feet
38:28and hands tied
38:29and gagged.
38:31On the day that
38:32Bozick was going to be released.
38:34from a Kansas prison,
38:35Ferrari was
38:36waiting
38:37outside
38:38with a warrant
38:39prison
38:40from Oklahoma.
38:41During the interrogation
38:42Made by OSBI,
38:44he ended up revealing
38:45what happened.
38:48he put it all
38:49the blame in their
38:50deceased accomplices,
38:52Welch and Pennington.
38:54According to him,
38:54they went to collect
38:55a drug debt,
38:57But Danny resisted.
38:58and I didn't want to pay.
38:59And things
39:00Things quickly worsened.
39:02Danny ended up being
39:03Shot during that.
39:04And then,
39:05Cat was there too.
39:06shot.
39:07The girls ran away.
39:09through another door
39:10and they ran to the
39:11house funds
39:12and they hid.
39:13When the suspects
39:15They saw them,
39:15They captured them.
39:17They were taken away.
39:19for the house
39:19by Phil Welch
39:20in Pitcher,
39:21Oklahoma,
39:22and ended up being
39:23kept there
39:23for two weeks,
39:24where did they go
39:25tortured.
39:26They were drugged.
39:28and finally,
39:28dead and discarded.
39:31As a last resort,
39:33Bozick proposed
39:34give the Ferrari
39:34the location
39:35of the girls
39:36in exchange
39:37of an agreement
39:37plea bargain.
39:39The authorities
39:40they would abandon
39:41the accusations
39:42murder,
39:43kidnapping
39:44and arson
39:45in exchange
39:46of a confession
39:47of complicity
39:48in the assassination
39:48and a sentence
39:50reduced
39:50if the girls
39:52were to be found.
39:53The agreement
39:54It was accepted.
39:55and,
39:56together with OSBI,
39:57they searched
39:58the abandoned mine
39:59Recommended by Bozick.
40:01They searched everywhere.
40:02the indicated location
40:03by Bozick,
40:04accompanied by him.
40:06Although,
40:06They found nothing.
40:08Lorraine stayed
40:09devastated
40:09with this news.
40:10Bozick claimed
40:12that Pennington
40:13or Welch
40:13They should have moved
40:15the girls
40:15to another location
40:16and somehow,
40:18The judge believed him.
40:19With your agreement
40:20of denunciation
40:21still in effect,
40:22he was sentenced
40:2410 years in prison
40:25and 5 years
40:26parole.
40:29On May 19th
40:30of 2023,
40:32Bozick was released.
40:33for good behavior
40:35after only
40:3638 months
40:37behind bars.
40:38At the hearing
40:40release
40:40by Bozick,
40:41Lorraine went upstairs
40:42to the podium
40:43and made it exciting
40:44testimony
40:45impact
40:46of the victim.
40:47On the other side
40:48of the court,
40:50Bozick was
40:50looking down,
40:52avoiding eye contact
40:52of Lorraine.
40:54Are you saying
40:55to people
40:56who killed
40:56my daughter.
40:57Look into my eyes.
40:59Where is she?
41:00Even knowing
41:01of the truth,
41:02the Bibles still
41:03They cling to hope.
41:04one day
41:05to see Laura again.
41:06But, for Lorraine,
41:08The fight still continues.
41:09She joined
41:10to your representative
41:11and proposed
41:12Laura's Law
41:13and Ashley
41:14to Congress.
41:15This project
41:16looking to add
41:17complicity
41:18murder
41:19to the list of crimes
41:20that require
41:21that the offender
41:22fulfill 85%
41:24of his sentence
41:25before being eligible
41:27for parole.
41:29The law was approved.
41:31on June 6th
41:32of 2023,
41:34preventing someone
41:35do the same trick
41:36that Bussick did
41:38with them
41:38after his arrest.
41:40Despite everything
41:41these years
41:41of frustration,
41:43anger and sadness,
41:44Lorraine's focus
41:45now it's time to transmit
41:47the spirit
41:47of the girls.
41:48She created
41:49a stock market fund
41:50of studies
41:50in their names,
41:52hoping that others
41:52children from the community
41:54can perform
41:55your dreams
41:56in its place.
41:57She thinks that's how it is.
41:58that the girls
41:59They should be remembered,
42:00not only
42:01due to the tragic circumstances
42:03of their deaths,
42:04but because of the impact
42:05positive
42:06that your memory
42:08continues to provide.
42:10What did you think?
42:11of the police investigation
42:12in the case of Danielle Houshins
42:14and in the case
42:15Laura and Ashley's?
42:16If it were a person
42:17of your family,
42:19You would fight too.
42:20To find answers?
