Full transcript
- 0:02but let me uh
- 0:05let me have to use the recipe
- 0:08and then we'll get you a phone and we
- 0:10will call your attorney okay
- 0:16I'll sit here with you all right
- 0:21water yeah
- 0:29I don't know if I should apologize for
- 0:31what happened on the highway or not but
- 0:33I almost feel like I shouldn't in a
- 0:35sense but I don't think yeah I know for
- 0:37a fact that he didn't know
- 0:39so I don't think that it was intentional
- 0:41in anybody's part or any of it so yeah I
- 0:45know that didn't look good but I mean
- 0:46you can understand why I know one thing
- 0:48I got caught doing that I'm gonna get my
- 0:49ticket okay
- 0:51especially when they found that it was a
- 0:53federal agent oh really you're driving
- 0:55like that around here get your ass in my
- 0:56car yeah we figured going through the
- 0:59airports restricted airspace so they
- 1:01can't
- 1:02really can't ruin we thought that the
- 1:04cars that were following us from my
- 1:05attorney's office or media because there
- 1:07was a media band that followed us and
- 1:09another band that went with them so
- 1:10we're thinking oh [ __ ] here we go
- 1:13it's happened before it happens every
- 1:16day
- 1:18I'd like to make it stop happening to be
- 1:20honest with you I would too
- 1:25well
- 1:26you know what I'll say today
- 1:31I said it to your mom I've said it to
- 1:33your dad I said it to your brother even
- 1:42well that was one thing that they all
- 1:43agreed upon was the fact that you've
- 1:46extended you know your hand to help most
- 1:49people have it
- 1:51so
- 1:54I was afraid that some of what I said to
- 1:56them
- 1:57probably offended them because I told
- 1:58them that
- 1:59if I find out something that you don't
- 2:01want to hear I'm going to tell you
- 2:03anyone it's not honestly they'll respect
- 2:05that that's just you know the type of
- 2:08people that they are in the same way
- 2:10I know I know they are
- 2:14when I end up on certain things they
- 2:16don't want to hear and I understand that
- 2:18yeah well it doesn't mean I'm gonna say
- 2:20exactly when you have different beliefs
- 2:22in somebody it is hard sometimes to hear
- 2:24their opinion that's true that doesn't
- 2:26mean that they don't respect your
- 2:27opinion or the fact that you're coming
- 2:29forward with what you think or what you
- 2:31feel so
- 2:33but to some extent it's comforting to
- 2:36hear you say that because
- 2:37it was never my intention to piss
- 2:39anybody in your family off you know I'm
- 2:41not in it to get a conviction I get
- 2:42nothing out of it I get zero exactly you
- 2:45have a job you're trying to do I found a
- 2:48few and I
- 2:49found a few and it sucks both ways yeah
- 2:52I agree
- 2:56it is what it is
- 3:01where I get sideways sideways with
- 3:04people
- 3:05tends to be when attorneys get involved
- 3:08I've heard most people say that they
- 3:09don't like attorneys very much I have
- 3:11many family members that are attorneys I
- 3:13have no problems with attorneys
- 3:15the problems with are at some point
- 3:18we have to satisfy
- 3:23and you know what so be it that's why I
- 3:25told you in the car
- 3:27you know if you tell me anything now
- 3:28yeah I'll get up and say yep I heard it
- 3:31and she's already invoked and we can't
- 3:33use any of it
- 3:35that's just the way it is that's all
- 3:36that matters to me yeah and uh
- 3:39you know
- 3:40when we did did another case that I was
- 3:43involved in
- 3:45you know they lost a confession
- 3:47and I sat there and I looked right at
- 3:48the guys that we worked with I said
- 3:49that's not what's important who cares
- 3:51yeah we found her
- 3:54we found her and he's going to get what
- 3:55has come to him that's not my job you
- 3:58know and and it works out in the end
- 4:01and it works out in the end on all sides
- 4:03to be honest with you it may not be
- 4:06comfortable
- 4:07for everybody yeah and there's I've done
- 4:09things that I get caught for you're not
- 4:12going to be comfortable I can tell you
- 4:13that it's just the way life is
- 4:16you know but it's not the end of the
- 4:18road either
- 4:19and that's what we have to keep in mind
- 4:20it's not the end of the road
- 4:23you know
- 4:26just a random question
- 4:28um are there cameras in all of the rooms
- 4:29some freaking clue I've never been in
- 4:32this part of the building my guess would
- 4:34be yes
- 4:36we're gonna go get something to drink do
- 4:37you want any soda Mountain Dews
- 4:40no I'm good thank you very much almost I
- 4:44know my mom I would guess
- 4:46yeah that's what I was thinking too well
- 4:48my mom wasn't aware that there was a
- 4:50camera in the room I guess when she met
- 4:53with melich and I forget who else in the
- 4:55big interviews that were released to the
- 4:57media and she was infuriated
- 5:00you would think that that's something
- 5:01that you know you should be told but you
- 5:04don't have to be right
- 5:07the law is the law yeah yeah and I will
- 5:09play Within the rules of law okay
- 5:12if it's a tool that's available to me
- 5:14that I can use later to look back on it
- 5:16see if I miss something or could I have
- 5:18done something better
- 5:19I'm going to take advantage of it yeah
- 5:21exactly I would assume that this place
- 5:22probably has one somewhere apparently
- 5:25something that records audio so either
- 5:27way
- 5:29I can tell you I don't
- 5:30know
- 5:36yeah they'll probably be someone unhappy
- 5:38when they
- 5:40see my interviews with them those
- 5:41haven't been released yet but they were
- 5:43on video
- 5:44well that's just part of the discoveries
- 5:45yeah it'll all come out
- 5:50but uh
- 5:52like I said
- 5:54I have loyalty to one person in every
- 5:55one of these cases and it doesn't happen
- 5:57to be anybody on the interview initially
- 5:59understandable it's not a it's not a
- 6:01slide on them
- 6:06in many different positions
- 6:10none of which are comfortable and those
- 6:12things always get in the way that you
- 6:13have on your brain on your hands
- 6:15yeah
- 6:17such are the rules that we work under
- 6:18yeah
- 6:22here's my question
- 6:23um I know this is a question that a lot
- 6:25of people have asked the grand jury and
- 6:27all that supposed to be secret but it
- 6:29was released to the media right off the
- 6:31bat my dad hadn't even been subpoenaed
- 6:33and that was released
- 6:37so I just think a lot of that's kind of
- 6:38funny and the fact that they invited the
- 6:40media in when they were releasing the
- 6:42decision my mom had received a text
- 6:44message from
- 6:50we're thinking are you serious
- 6:54there are
- 6:56rules
- 6:58I am quite sure
- 7:01that one of the rules that was followed
- 7:03was that when the decision to indict has
- 7:06been made
- 7:07um
- 7:09that part of it is public yeah that
- 7:11part's public and they can let the money
- 7:12into the courtroom at that point yeah
- 7:15I bet
- 7:16this is just my bet I don't know what
- 7:18the Florida rules are I have more
- 7:19Federal stuff familiar with that yeah
- 7:21but what I bet is that it was done under
- 7:23seal and there were no names and no
- 7:25official charges probably read aloud it
- 7:28probably just was there's been a
- 7:29diversity in the case
- 7:30and that's it well when the media was
- 7:32out there all day and they knew about
- 7:34this a week ago that it was going to
- 7:36happen but
- 7:38kind of funny
- 7:41and everything happens the happenings
- 7:44are secret what takes place within the
- 7:47room is secret yeah but as far as when
- 7:50it actually is convened and you know
- 7:51pulled together the witnesses and stuff
- 7:53like that that's not also supposed to be
- 7:54secret it depends on how they're
- 7:56subpoenaed okay
- 7:58if you're submitted under a regular
- 7:59court order
- 8:01his attorney so I'm not quite sure how
- 8:03that came through yeah but if the
- 8:05subpoena itself is just a regular person
- 8:07that's public records yeah it doesn't
- 8:10say what it's for it doesn't say what
- 8:11case it's in it doesn't it just says
- 8:13you're subpoenaed to appear before the
- 8:14grand jury well with them announcing
- 8:16that you know there's going to be a
- 8:17Grandeur and obviously mining was thrown
- 8:19out they knew who the grand jury was for
- 8:23who threw your name out
- 8:26um the media said that it was from an
- 8:28inside source meeting in here
- 8:31so that's where they all say it I can
- 8:34tell you what I think is what I think of
- 8:36people who leads up to the media I think
- 8:38it's garbage yeah I agree
- 8:41that doesn't make it any
- 8:46less necessary
- 8:48without them
- 8:51I'll be quite honest without the media
- 8:52we don't find a quarter of the kids that
- 8:55we oh I think it helps the exposure has
- 8:57helped bring in so many tips for my
- 8:59daughter but at the same time whatever
- 9:02what it creates is it creates a monster
- 9:04that otherwise isn't necessary exactly
- 9:06the tips are what the tips are
- 9:09if it was a local media only
- 9:12it would be much easier to work yeah
- 9:14when you make it to National media then
- 9:16you come up you get the Nancy Grace's
- 9:18people get the tips also that come from
- 9:21Hawaii that say I saw Kaylee
- 9:24oh really
- 9:25okay let me call the light and let me
- 9:28send them out
- 9:29those are what I consider local because
- 9:32the local explanations are going to
- 9:34cover that yeah it's continuous to the
- 9:36State of Florida it's not when people
- 9:37are only getting their information from
- 9:39the Nancy Grace's or from Globe magazine
- 9:42or people or you know stuff like that
- 9:43are you kidding me well
- 9:46I could say you will not see me trying
- 9:48to be interviewed by yeah like people
- 9:51are blow over anybody else once again
- 9:57entree move my friend

- 16:05okay
- 16:09so I'll be at the pawn shop right now
- 16:14oh my God
- 16:17it's been a long day it has been how's
- 16:20my dad this morning
- 16:22um
- 16:23in our time yeah
- 16:26I only saw from the median got a chance
- 16:28to hear him talking to my mom I spoke to
- 16:31him last night and this morning for just
- 16:32a quick second before he left so yeah I
- 16:35talked to him this morning for a little
- 16:36bit uh he was with Mark and
- 16:38he was a really struggling I mean I
- 16:40could imagine he was having a hard time
- 16:42uh you know he was being called into
- 16:46to essentially
- 16:49provide testimony to indict you to at
- 16:51least
- 16:52he's struggling with that yeah
- 16:54and uh
- 16:56and I felt bad if I want to be honest
- 16:57with you I truly did well I haven't told
- 16:59him last night I know he was subpoenaed
- 17:01and under the law he had to answer
- 17:03whatever questions were asked him I told
- 17:05him to do what he had to do at that
- 17:07point if he didn't he'd be held in
- 17:09contempt of court
- 17:11I don't want to see that happen so what
- 17:13did he say
- 17:14he just hugged me and told me that he
- 17:16loved me and you know he was struggling
- 17:18with it even last night so I think it
- 17:20was probably emotional this morning yeah
- 17:22I could see that with the little bit
- 17:24that I saw from the media from the
- 17:26pictures and
- 17:28um the little bit of footage that they
- 17:29have so you guys watching on TV now we
- 17:32watched all of mine a little bit earlier
- 17:33okay
- 17:35I try to stay away from the TV as much
- 17:37as possible at least with the internet I
- 17:38can scroll through read what I want and
- 17:40then just get rid of it that much faster
- 17:42so
- 17:47um I have been I mean this is something
- 17:50honestly you've been preparing for from
- 17:51the beginning just because of words that
- 17:53were directly spoken from
- 17:56Yuri knowledge and also from
- 17:58Sergeant Allen they were saying that
- 18:00this is what they were planning on doing
- 18:02from the very beginning from that first
- 18:04day so they wrote me off within the
- 18:06first couple hours so I don't know if
- 18:09that's true that was the direct words
- 18:12that they pretty much gave to myself and
- 18:14even they said that to my parents so I
- 18:17mean I'm not trying to say something
- 18:19derogatory towards someone but yeah okay
- 18:22or just we're just talking okay we're
- 18:25just chatting
- 18:26so that was the only time we ever made
- 18:28any effort to try to talk to me
- 18:29one-on-one and no it's kind of difficult
- 18:32it was kind of difficult considering
- 18:34considering um obviously in light of
- 18:36everything that's going on you've been
- 18:38arrested for other things
- 18:39makes it a little more difficult to sit
- 18:42down and even talk to you it's not that
- 18:44we haven't wanted to yeah pleasure I do
- 18:46have counsel and that's something that
- 18:49you know my attorney's always been a
- 18:50phone call away
- 18:51and it shouldn't have taken it getting
- 18:53to this point you know three months in
- 18:55first has your attorney ever told you
- 18:58that we would like to speak to you and
- 18:59we had agreed him and I together that we
- 19:02would all sit down together him and I
- 19:04and you guys and you know we entertain
- 19:07whatever questions you have and
- 19:09discussions
- 19:13obviously we can't come to you and
- 19:15yeah I understandably
- 19:17I thought that you were aware that if
- 19:19you wanted to talk to anybody that all
- 19:22you got to do is simply ask yeah well
- 19:25I know it goes both ways on that and I
- 19:28guess it would have needed to come from
- 19:29me I should have been the one to
- 19:32I guess come forward with it but you
- 19:34know we did open up that door to law
- 19:37enforcement before when Sergeant Allen
- 19:39was making a big deal saying well we
- 19:41want to talk to her when can we talk to
- 19:43her he's saying hold the doors open
- 19:45I don't believe he ever told us the door
- 19:48is open I mean well maybe not to you
- 19:50directly but I know to Sergeant Allen I
- 19:52was sitting there even one of the times
- 19:53that he spoke with him
- 19:55so I've heard the words come out of his
- 19:57mouth even myself directed two other
- 20:00people
- 20:01that maybe didn't either relay the
- 20:04message or took it a different way so I
- 20:06don't know
- 20:07I think the lack of communication has
- 20:09put people in
- 20:11opposite Corners when everybody has the
- 20:15same goal is to find Kaylee
- 20:17do you think the matter could have been
- 20:19resolved a little differently
- 20:21you think America and then resolved a
- 20:23little differently
- 20:24absolutely and a lot of different
- 20:26aspects
- 20:27and that's a conversation that I've had
- 20:29not only with my attorney but
- 20:32family
- 20:33so I mean we all still feel I as a mom I
- 20:38know in my gut there's the feeling is
- 20:40apparent you know certain things about
- 20:42your child you can feel that connection
- 20:44and
- 20:46I still have that feeling that presence
- 20:49I know that she's alive
- 20:51whether
- 20:52you have a bucket load of evidence
- 20:54downstairs that contradicts that and
- 20:57says otherwise or
- 20:58all you have is speculation
- 21:01or or nothing at all I mean whatever it
- 21:05is if there's still that chance with all
- 21:06these tips that have come through I know
- 21:07that it's been
- 21:15I know that a lot of that is credited
- 21:17but
- 21:18and
- 21:20as ever you know we had more than
- 21:22speculation there's every tip in every
- 21:24week followed up exactly yeah
- 21:32a lot
- 21:35oh and I said I said the same thing to
- 21:38them that you know they said the word at
- 21:39the end of a hallway and I'm thinking
- 21:40we're done in the hallway and there's
- 21:42two doors which door are we going to go
- 21:44through or I guess this is you know more
