- 1:15yesterday okay knocking out the
- 1:17polygraph yeah um why don't we do that

- 1:32that I was talking about today um did
- 1:34your dad have availability to use the
- 1:36car if you're going to be here for like
- 1:37an hour or
- 1:39more can you drive oh he can drive yeah
- 1:44yeah okay and I'll go explain to him
- 1:45everything else going on okay he he will
- 1:47know where to go but oh okay well we can
- 1:50he knows how get to the house but if
- 1:51it's not ready you can't go in there but
- 1:52okay does he know how to use GPS on his
- 1:54phone or yeah but he wouldn't know like
- 1:56you know where else to go beside my
- 1:57house oh that's true just you know I
- 1:59mean I mean I can tell him if if get to
- 2:02go to my friend's house if okay I'm not
- 2:05sure like if I'm be here for an hour or
- 2:07like 4 hours you you want me to just go
- 2:09talk to him and let him know when the
- 2:10house is going to be ready and all that
- 2:11and when he can go cuz he can go grab a
- 2:13bite to eat or something right oh yeah
- 2:15like if there everything should be open
- 2:16by now around here okay yeah um I'm sure
- 2:20Lance at like 5:00 each those times so
- 2:23okay why don't we knock this out um I
- 2:25think it's the best thing to do to move
- 2:26past all of this um and then um I'll go
- 2:29talk to your Dad he'll have the keys
- 2:31everything will be good okay yeah you
- 2:33have his number you can call him when
- 2:35you're done there's like no signal in
- 2:37this place so that isn't it that's why I
- 2:38couldn't talk to you earlier yeah
- 2:42it between him and me we'll figure out
- 2:44how to communicate and get him where he
- 2:46needs to go okay I've been getting text
- 2:48messages from like a lot of news places
- 2:51okay I don't know really like you know I
- 2:53think that's part of maybe what we game
- 2:55plan today um I mean not not just here
- 2:58like today show before I don't like know
- 3:01what to do yeah well I think that you
- 3:05certainly can do whatever you need to or
- 3:06want to do um but I think that after
- 3:09this after we knock this out we get you
- 3:12know we get back to the team and we make
- 3:13a plan something getting different like
- 3:16advice like as far as like her mom said
- 3:18like if it's a kidnapping then I would
- 3:20she says not to talk to anybody yeah but
- 3:23like I'm like porn of what to do well I
- 3:27her mom told you not to talk yeah her
- 3:29mom said cuz she was advised by someone
- 3:31like a like police or detective there
- 3:33that like if he talks to the media it
- 3:35might oh to the media okay M I thought
- 3:38you were talking about to the
- 3:39point no like just the media in general
- 3:42likez it's gone I mean Today's show Good
- 3:44Morning America is trying to get a hold
- 3:45of me my parents friends I just
- 3:47sometimes we release details that you
- 3:48know maybe the public they want DET me I
- 3:50know that's I don't want to impede with
- 3:53what's going on here and put the things
- 3:55out because I've watched
- 3:56enough shows shows that say like all
- 3:59right don't put things out there before
- 4:02the police put because then you don't
- 4:03know if somebody really knows or if they
- 4:04just saw it on TV yeah well let's do
- 4:06this um I think while you're doing this
- 4:09it's going to be completely okay to
- 4:11ignore your phone and the media and
- 4:13everyone right okay so let's get this
- 4:15out of the way I think it'll really
- 4:17clear your mind a little bit right all
- 4:19right um so why don't we why don't we
- 4:22put a halt on the phone on texting
- 4:24people on Good Morning America all those
- 4:26I haven't responded Focus yeah focus on
- 4:30this let's knock it out and then let's
- 4:31talk okay all right all right all right
- 4:33you'll come in I'll go get you when
- 4:35we're done
- 4:36yeah thanks goad have a seat right here
- 4:39Chris sit on this yep I know it's I'll
- 4:42explain what that here in a little bit
- 4:43but you don't have to worry it's not on
- 4:45or anything right now it's not going to
- 4:47it's not going to buzz you or anything
- 4:49never I've never done this before I know
- 4:51a lot of people haven't had polygraphs
- 4:52before it's not like a normal thing that
- 4:54people go through um a lot of people
- 4:55like obviously in law enforcement and
- 4:57places like that they have to go through
- 4:58polygraphs for their job but other than
- 5:01that most people never take a polygraph
- 5:02in their entire life so yes I have like
- 5:04no idea like what to expect on yeah so
- 5:08how are you feeling today I'm sick to my
- 5:11stomach honestly like the first day I
- 5:13thought okay she was just somewhere sure
- 5:16and after yesterday all the activity at
- 5:18my house I was I didn't know it went to
- 5:22the Other Extreme that's I've just been
- 5:24like sick myself like that either
- 5:25somebody has her or she's in trouble and
- 5:27the kids are not safe either right right
- 5:30well and I think that's totally awesome
- 5:33that you're here today I mean I commend
- 5:35you we do this in all of our missing
- 5:36person cases so don't think that we're
- 5:38just singling you out like oh my gosh I
- 5:40want me to take a polygraph anytime you
- 5:42know someone was the last person to see
- 5:44people or you know there's it's a
- 5:46missing person case we start from the
- 5:47inside and we work out I mean that's
- 5:49pretty much what we do so I've done um
- 5:52polygraphs on the Jessica ritway case I
- 5:53don't know if you were here for that the
- 5:56name sounds familiar little girl that
- 5:57went missing in Westminster and yeah and
- 6:00then uh just the one that we had in
- 6:01Thorton um last year or the year before
- 6:04um so we do this all the time so don't
- 6:06please don't think that you're being
- 6:07single that like this is this is one way
- 6:09that um if you didn't have anything to
- 6:11do with it that we can let the
- 6:13investigators know the people that
- 6:14really do need to know that are looking
- 6:15for your wife and your little girls um
- 6:18to let them know like you know what
- 6:20don't focus on Chris Focus over here
- 6:22because obviously we've already cleared
- 6:24him he's good to go now focus on the
- 6:26real person that did something through
- 6:28this you know to to
- 6:30and um little girls so okay so I am my
- 6:34name is Tammy if you can call me Tammy
- 6:36I'm an agent with the Colorado Bureau of
- 6:38Investigation so it's a CBI it's kind of
- 6:40like the FBI but for Colorado um so we
- 6:44what our role is um just so you know is
- 6:46anytime a law enforcement agency or a
- 6:48district attorney's office or the
- 6:50governor needs assistance with a case
- 6:52they can call the CBI to come out and
- 6:54assist them so obviously in this you
- 6:56know type of case um they're calling in
- 6:59all the resources that they can which
- 7:01includes me um who works out of the
- 7:03Denver office and I also do polygraphs
- 7:05so they asked me if I would uh be
- 7:07willing to come here and chat with you
- 7:10and and hopefully get you cleared up and
- 7:12and on your way because it sounds like
- 7:14that's what you're here for and and
- 7:16that's awesome because that's mostly
- 7:18what people want to do is like dude
- 7:19you're not you're looking at the wrong
- 7:21person like I just want to show you I
- 7:22had nothing to do with this and then you
- 7:23guys can get on your way and you know do
- 7:25your investigation somewhere else so cuz
- 7:28that that helps us cuz we don't have to
- 7:30keep focusing on Chris does that make
- 7:31sense to you okay um this polygraph
- 7:34today is going to be recorded obviously
- 7:36it would be dumb if I didn't because
- 7:38what if at the end I said you said
- 7:40whatever and you really didn't say it
- 7:41obviously they could go back and look at
- 7:43the recording uh there's a camera right
- 7:45there there's also a backup digital
- 7:47recording that I'm doing fails me in the
- 7:49second I try and trusted it it always
- 7:51fails me so um so you said that um your
- 7:55cell phone is it off right now yeah that
- 7:58would be great
- 7:59because um we can't have anything like
- 8:01buzzing vibrating ringing that kind of
- 8:04stuff so um there's will take um at
- 8:07least a couple hours to do the polygraph
- 8:10just because it's a real structured type
- 8:11of interview process I have to go
- 8:13through a bunch of things with you um
- 8:15you're going to get the same polygraph
- 8:16that I give you know I gave someone last
- 8:18week so um it's very structured and we
- 8:22go you know in order and that kind of
- 8:23stuff and you're going to know the
- 8:25wording to all the questions that I'm
- 8:26going to ask you on the test um before
- 8:28we even take the graph so don't don't a
- 8:31lot of people come in here and they
- 8:32think oh they're just going to you know
- 8:33attach all these components to me and
- 8:35then just start asking me random
- 8:36questions that I've never heard before
- 8:38and of course I'm going to react to that
- 8:39that's not at all how po polygraph works
- 8:43yeah you're actually going to probably
- 8:43know more about polygraphs than anyone
- 8:46before you leave here today just because
- 8:47I explain everything to you and how
- 8:49everything works okay
- 8:52um obviously you're probably nervous
- 8:54about taking today's test honestly I
- 8:55would think something is wrong with you
- 8:56if you weren't nervous about coming in
- 8:58here to take a poly
- 9:00even if people are like I don't have
- 9:01anything to hide it is nerve-racking and
- 9:03I have taken tons of polys obviously in
- 9:06my training um I went to 10 weeks for
- 9:09training I've been a polygrapher about
- 9:10for about 5 years um I went to the best
- 9:13school in the country so I want you to
- 9:15have confidence in the fact that if you
- 9:17had nothing to do with this
- 9:18disappearance like we're going to find
- 9:19that out today okay I have the best
- 9:21training that they offer in the United
- 9:23States um I we use the most validated
- 9:26testing um that the way I'm going to ask
- 9:29you the question so believe me if you
- 9:31had nothing to do with this I will be
- 9:33able to show them that today okay so
- 9:35that should give you some confidence
- 9:36that um you know this just how like
- 9:39you're going to be cleared today if you
- 9:41had nothing to do with it okay um
- 9:44there's actually only you know
- 9:45nervousness or anxiety cannot cause you
- 9:47to fail a polygraph a lot of people
- 9:48think that too that if they're really
- 9:50nervous that it could cause them to fail
- 9:52um if that were the case no one would be
- 9:54allowed to take polygraphs because every
- 9:55single person is nervous or anxious
- 9:57about taking the polygraph okay I
- 9:58thought I thought worked on nervousness
- 10:01no there's actually only two ways you
- 10:03can fail a polygraph okay the first way
- 10:05would be if you fail to follow my
- 10:06instructions I'm going to give you a lot
- 10:08of instructions today about how to sit
- 10:09still how to answer questions things
- 10:11like that so if you fail to follow those
- 10:13instructions you will not pass today's
- 10:15test okay the second way would be if you
- 10:17choose to lie to me today lie to me
- 10:19today okay um obviously this is about
- 10:22100% truth um even if there's you know
- 10:25something that you didn't tell the
- 10:26investigators you know since Monday I
- 10:30guess is when you ended the police were
- 10:32involved if there's something that you
- 10:33didn't tell them since Monday like that
- 10:35is totally fine like I get it you know
- 10:37people aren't going to remember every
- 10:38single detail every time they talk to
- 10:40someone as long as you tell me what the
- 10:41truth is today you will have no problem
- 10:43with passing okay I promise you that and
- 10:46obviously I mean I hope that you know if
- 10:49you did have something to do with their
- 10:51disappearance um it would be really
- 10:53stupid for you to come in and take a
- 10:54polygraph today exactly right like it it
- 10:57would be really dumb like you should not
- 10:59be here right now sitting in this chair
- 11:01if you had anything to do with shanan
- 11:03and the little girl's disappearance okay
- 11:06okay and it's the left and Stella is
- 11:08that right yeah I'll call her cc2 CC
- 11:10okay okay if that comes up okay perfect
- 11:13so and I know very um very small amount
- 11:16about the case Okay um just because I
- 11:20want to know less about the case because
- 11:22I want you to be able to tell me about
- 11:23the case I don't want to have some
- 11:25preconceived notions about the case and
- 11:27that's why I don't want you to assume
- 11:28that I already details because you told
- 11:30detective s and so um you know that kind
- 11:33of stuff I want you to be able to tell
- 11:34me like you were telling someone for the
- 11:36very first time about what happen when
- 11:37we get into actually talking about what
- 11:39happened okay um obviously Chris you're
- 11:41not under arrest I have no plans on
- 11:44arresting you um at any point today if
- 11:46you decide you want to leave the door is
- 11:48right there there is a it locks Us in
- 11:51here yeah I saw that last night so
- 11:53there's a key in there now so you can um
- 11:56if you just turn the key it lets you out
- 11:59okay at any point today even after all
- 12:00these components are attached to you if
- 12:02you decide at that point you know what I
- 12:03don't want to take this polygraph I
- 12:05don't want to be here this is BS
- 12:06whatever that is completely fine just
- 12:08please allow me to unattach my
- 12:10components before you drag my $6,000
- 12:12instrument on the floor and run out of
- 12:14here um and it's kind of a little maze
- 12:16back here so I will show you the way out
- 12:18at any point if you decide you know what
- 12:20I don't want to take this polygraph I
- 12:21don't want to be here I don't want to do
- 12:22this that is completely fine the door
- 12:24does have to be shut for privacy just
- 12:26because um noise does affect the
- 12:28polygraph
- 12:29and um I will read you your rights today
- 12:32and that's just because the polygraph um
- 12:34components are pretty restrictive you
- 12:35know they go around your chest and stuff
- 12:37and you may feel at some point that
- 12:39you're not free to leave but like I said
- 12:40before at any point I will unattach all
- 12:42the components and and show you the way
- 12:44out if you decide even in the middle of
- 12:46the polygraph if you don't want to
- 12:47continue to take it okay so does that
- 12:49make sense to you yes okay so I'm going
- 12:51to give you kind of a road map of where
- 12:53we're going to go today just so you know
- 12:55what to expect and that kind of stuff
- 12:56okay so we're going to first start by
- 12:58going over a right conent form and
- 12:59that's that um Miranda rights form I'm
- 13:02sure you've heard of it you know you
- 13:03hear it on TV shows constantly most kids
- 13:06can recite their Miranda rake um we're
- 13:09going to go over that and again it's
- 13:10just so that you know you're free to
- 13:11leave and that um you're not under
- 13:13arrest okay and then we're going to do a
- 13:15consent form and that's just something
- 13:16that's required by my bosses to say that
- 13:18you're actually consenting to um the CDI
- 13:21doing a polygraph on you
- 13:23okay um the after that we do a
- 13:25biographical and a medical form um and
- 13:28that's basically to make sure that
- 13:30you're a suitable subject to take the
- 13:32actual polygraph I want to make sure
- 13:33that you didn't smoke you know 10s of
- 13:35weed you know that night before I wish
- 13:38that didn't normally happen but a lot of
- 13:40people smoke drugs before they come in
- 13:42here because they're really nervous and
- 13:43they're trying to calm themselves down
- 13:45some people take a lot of medication
- 13:47some people hear voices um all of those
- 13:49things are things that I cannot um
- 13:53conduct a polygraph on someone if if
- 13:55they have those things going on so I
- 13:57just need to make sure that none of that
- 13:58stuff is fting you you seem very lucid
- 14:00you're talking to me you're making sense
- 14:02you know you're not jittery you're not
- 14:04moving around that kind of stuff so I
- 14:06don't think we're going to have any
- 14:07issues but we just I want to bet all of
- 14:09that out and just kind of you know make
- 14:11sure that you had enough sleep and
- 14:12you're not I mean obviously no one's
- 14:14getting a lot of sleep um probably since
- 14:17Monday but um just so we can talk about
- 14:19all that okay okay um and then after
- 14:22that we're going to discuss the issue of
- 14:23why you're here okay I want to know
- 14:25everything you know and again I don't
- 14:26want you to assume that I already know
- 14:27something I want you to kind of start
- 14:29from the beginning and like telling
- 14:30someone maybe you know a friend that you
- 14:33hadn't talked to since any of this has
- 14:35happened and you're basically having to
- 14:36relay all the details of exactly what
- 14:38happened with shenan and the girls okay
- 14:42and then after that um we're actually
- 14:43going to take a bathroom break I'm going
- 14:45to let you take a break you can use the
- 14:47bathroom get something to drink that
- 14:48water there is for you if you need that
- 14:50at any point today and then you're going
- 14:51to come back in here I'm going to
- 14:53explain to you how and why the polygraph
- 14:54works again you're probably going to
- 14:56know more about polygraph than you even
- 14:57care to know before you leave here um
- 14:59I'm going to explain how it works and
- 15:01then uh we're going to go over the
- 15:02questions that are going to be on the
- 15:03test and like I said before you're going
- 15:05to know the words to every single
- 15:07question so it's not bad um and we're
- 15:09going to discuss that even before we
- 15:11even take the polygraph like what those
- 15:13questions mean and and just so you are
- 15:15completely clearing your mind when Tammy
- 15:18asked me this question this is exactly
- 15:19what she means this is exact exactly
- 15:21what she's asking and this is the answer
- 15:23that I have for that question um so
- 15:26we're going to go over those I get I let
- 15:28you practice answering them like two or
- 15:30three times so I mean we'll go through
- 15:31them repeatedly if you need me to go
- 15:33over them four or five times just you
- 15:35know before we actually take the test
- 15:37I'm more than happy to do that too I
- 15:39want you very comfortable with the
- 15:40questions and that you know what they
- 15:42mean and and how you're going to answer
- 15:44them okay um after that we're going to
- 15:46go um we're actually going to do a
- 15:48practice test and again that just lets
- 15:50me know that you're a suitable subject
- 15:51to take the actual polygraph and then
- 15:53after that we actually get into the
- 15:55actual testing so that's why it takes a
- 15:57long time is because there is a pretty
- 15:59big process that goes along with it work
- 16:04yeah so did you um you're not working
- 16:07today right no do you have a date that
- 16:09you're going back to work not at the
- 16:11moment
- 16:15no how long have you worked for anad
- 16:19Darko January
- 16:212015 so about 3 and 1/2 years almost
- 16:25yeah you like it there oh yeah yeah I
- 16:28worked for a covenant testing
- 16:29Technologies before that what was that
- 16:32that's a contract company for long gas
- 16:35before that I worked for Ford for 11
- 16:37years as a technician oh my goodness so
- 16:39does that translate into no it's
- 16:43mechanical I mean like I like to fix
- 16:46things and when I was like when I moved
- 16:50out here I worked at lont Ford okay and
- 16:53I moved I moved up pretty fast there but
- 16:55I hit that like kind of plateau that
- 16:57kind of just like I couldn't go got
- 16:59stagnant mhm and I was having this
- 17:01carple tunnel syndrome both my hands and
- 17:03I it was it was bad like I doing this
- 17:06like all day you know like it was it was
- 17:09bad yeah you still have that I don't

- 44:29relationship I guess just so I
- 44:31understand it um as far as you know
- 44:33meeting in 2010 and you know when the
- 44:35kids came about and that kind of stuff
- 44:37and then just bring me up to the point
- 44:39of um you know yesterday okay if you
- 44:42could all right so 2010 what we met we
- 44:45met we met pretty much through Facebook
- 44:49because of my cousin's wife and she like
- 44:54recommended us as friends type thing and
- 44:56that's how we kind of started talking
- 44:58and our first date was at a movie
- 45:00theater didn't really impress her much
- 45:02cuz like I was like it was actually a
- 45:03nice theater I didn't really know what I
- 45:05was walking into as far as like walked
- 45:06in and there was like a door man and he
- 45:08was all dressed in the suit and I was in
- 45:10camo shorts and DC shoes and I was like
- 45:14yeah I was like okay hopefully I'm not
- 45:16I'm very underdressed to this but like I
- 45:19walk in I see her and she's all dressed
- 45:20really nice and like she she told me
- 45:23like like after the fact like man I hope
- 45:25that's not
- 45:27kind kind of deal like cuz like we know
- 45:29each other look like but like I wasn't
- 45:30really dressed for for what we were
- 45:32doing then but on the second date I
- 45:36actually made Mist again wearing the
- 45:37same thing because I kind of forgot what
- 45:40I wore but I went to a k Rock concert
- 45:42and I think that's kind of where I I
- 45:45wanted over because like we actually got
- 45:47to like the actual concert and like
- 45:50forgot our I forgot my ID so I couldn't
- 45:53actually get in so I actually ran back
- 45:55like 2 miles to the car and got and came
- 45:57back and I was just like I mean I was
- 45:59just like soaking wet I was just like it
- 46:00was like middle of July August and like
- 46:02South Carolina and humidity and
- 46:04everything like that as on Army base so
- 46:06I was just ran back got it and
- 46:09everything like that and then I think it
- 46:11our next date actually went to Beach and
- 46:14like she had L well her lupus was really
- 46:17like acting up in North Carolina so like
- 46:20like she had like these flareups joint
- 46:22pains all that kind of thing and we were
- 46:24driving back like she laid on me pretty
- 46:26much much the entire way back and I
- 46:28think that's when like she realized
- 46:30right this guy is actually pretty pretty
- 46:33nice because like he didn't ask he
- 46:34didn't tell me like get off my lap or
- 46:37type thing like I just let her just rest
- 46:39on me the entire way back it was like 2
- 46:40and a half hour ride from mtle Beach to
- 46:42Charlotte Belmont
- 46:43area but yeah we just everything
- 46:46flourished from there like in 2011 I I
- 46:49proposed to her over an ocean beach like
- 46:52that that was around our
- 46:54anniversary and um did I brought out
- 46:57there on the beach at night and I could
- 46:59tell I mean she was extremely tired and
- 47:00I was like I just want to do this I want
- 47:02to do it like today and she knew like
- 47:05like why are you so like persistently to
- 47:07get me like out here right now I like oh
- 47:09let's go out to the beach it's a nice
- 47:11night post are on the beach said yes and
- 47:13everybody was R ecstatic and everything
- 47:16and she she loves she's very organized
- 47:19she's like OCD about like organization
- 47:22putting things like like you saw like
- 47:23the pantry see everything was just like
- 47:25named in a container all the way down
- 47:28like it's very easy for if you just came
- 47:30into our house you would you would know
- 47:32what stuff was you would know like where
- 47:35everything was it would be easy so like
- 47:40everything was just she was planning the
- 47:41way everything was great and then 2012
- 47:44Su her here but she was planning the
- 47:46wedding from here but everybody was back
- 47:48in North Carolina but it was a guess you
- 47:51call destination wedding if you want
- 47:53because we fly back for that but we got
- 47:55married and it's like the Double Tree
- 47:59Hilton Hotel that was there it was like
- 48:01in the it was in
- 48:03November and it was underneath one of
- 48:05big tents and everything was
- 48:07beautiful and it went it was it was it
- 48:09was amazing and we went to Merl Beach
- 48:12for the for the honeymoon and then
- 48:162013 in December 17th that's when B was
- 48:19born like we've been trying for a while
- 48:22and nothing was happening as far as
- 48:24getting prayer and whatnot and she's
- 48:27well the thing was she said so since

- 48:31happening like I'm I'm going buy a
- 48:32supercharger for your
- 48:34car like okay and then it turned out
- 48:37that weekend we can see Bella so know
- 48:40the week she bought me a supercharger
- 48:41for my
- 48:42car take that back I'd already put it on
- 48:46and it was actually like a special order
- 48:48like part that was another dealership
- 48:50okay stff like that so like it was it
- 48:52was ironic that it happened that you
- 48:54know like bought super charged from my
- 48:56car and then that weekend she
- 48:58Bella and then um Bella wases a gift I
- 49:02mean she didn't think she she could give
- 49:04her because of lupus and everything like
- 49:06that like doctor said it could happen it
- 49:08might not but it happened and it was it
- 49:11was a blessing in disguise right there
- 49:12it's was like oh my good just Savage you
- 49:14know did she have normal pregnancies
- 49:17it's the was Bella's normal Bella's was
- 49:20a she had shoulder disposure when she

- 49:53had this whole little thing uh staged up
- 49:55with Bella in the crib and a little
- 49:57notice like she was there and it it
- 49:59worked out pretty well cuz she was just
- 50:00standing there crying like you know like
- 50:02I don't want this type of thing you know
- 50:04some one of those that went like viral
- 50:06on Facebook so that's weird it would be

- 1:12:26wherever they are I hope they are safe
- 1:12:28and I really I really hope they can just
- 1:12:31come
- 1:12:32home at the FBI agent uh Graham he's
- 1:12:37he's been really helpful I mean he
- 1:12:39didn't tell me what lead they have for
- 1:12:40today but I'm hoping that
- 1:12:43it at least them coming home mhm cuz it
- 1:12:48just being in that house and not being
- 1:12:51able to tuck them
- 1:12:52in it's just it it's it's heart rening
- 1:12:55it's Earth shattering right now because
- 1:12:57that's those are my
- 1:12:59kids those are like like you made those
- 1:13:02kids you know like do you have kids or
- 1:13:04anything okay like three of them so like
- 1:13:08just not being able to like you know
- 1:13:11kiss them good night and saying I love
- 1:13:14you Daddy or I miss you daddy or
- 1:13:15something like that you know cuz they
- 1:13:18were without me for 5
- 1:13:20weeks and uh it was I got to FaceTime
- 1:13:23him every night
- 1:13:25and it was just not not being able to do
- 1:13:28anything like knowing that they were
- 1:13:31just here and not knowing where they are
- 1:13:34now is it's it's a nightmare right
- 1:13:39now so um thank you for explaining all
- 1:13:42that to me um obviously I'm have more
- 1:13:45questions so I may kind of piece it out
- 1:13:48um just going back just so I understand
- 1:13:50everything um and you you kept saying
- 1:13:53that you thought she was at a friend
- 1:13:54house do you still think she's at a
- 1:13:56friend's house at this point I
- 1:13:58don't because all this like everything
- 1:14:01that's happened now so what does that
- 1:14:02make you think of it just makes me feel
- 1:14:05like either she vanished like she she's
- 1:14:09had the kids and she's somewhere where
- 1:14:12like maybe hopefully a hotel but I don't
- 1:14:14think she's at a friend's house now
- 1:14:15unless it's somebody I just don't know
- 1:14:18like if it's somebody I don't know great
- 1:14:19like I just want her to be safe but with
- 1:14:22all with with FBI here with you know CBI
- 1:14:25here with everything that's going on
- 1:14:29like it makes me feel like all right
- 1:14:31maybe somebody has her that's not that's
- 1:14:34not keeping her
- 1:14:36safe or something terrible has happened
- 1:14:40and that is that's the
- 1:14:42Nightmare and what would that terrible
- 1:14:44thing
- 1:14:45be if somebody hurt
- 1:14:50them that's run into your mind
- 1:14:53sometimes I don't
- 1:14:56I I can't I don't want that to run
- 1:14:59through my mind but it's it's running
- 1:15:01through my mind that somebody has heard
- 1:15:03them and that they are not
- 1:15:06safe and I really want them to be safe I
- 1:15:09want them to come home right and we want
- 1:15:11them to come home
- 1:15:13too um so let's let's kind of break it
- 1:15:16down back to um when shanan went
- 1:15:21to Arizona so what was she into Arizona
- 1:15:24for thri local it's been down there with
- 1:15:27some of the uh upline leaders okay so
- 1:15:30she mostly women like you know other
- 1:15:33people that work for her you know down
- 1:15:35or down people people or upline people
- 1:15:37and all that okay and they just you know
- 1:15:39get fil their cup I guess for lack of a
- 1:15:42better term so they get there and they
- 1:15:44you know cheer them on and like you can
- 1:15:46do more and whatever and I guess do they
- 1:15:50teach them about new products yeah
- 1:15:52there's a lot of training that goes
- 1:15:53involved with like how to talk to people
- 1:15:55and stuff like that and bring in more
- 1:15:56people type thing like did did shenan
- 1:15:58make a lot of money doing this yeah she
- 1:16:00made she makes L much money than I do
- 1:16:02really yeah and how much is that cuz I
- 1:16:05don't know how much you weigh 6570 okay
- 1:16:08she makes that much just th wow how many
- 1:16:12people does she have underneath her
- 1:16:16like people that have signed up
- 1:16:18underneath her probably about
- 1:16:20200 but like active people that promote
- 1:16:22it it's I mean it's probably about about
- 1:16:2550 or so but like she has her team does
- 1:16:28about $80,000 a month in sales yeah is
- 1:16:32crazy sorry about that um okay so she's
- 1:16:35at this conference um and obviously even
- 1:16:39before that like um you know you said
- 1:16:42that you kind of talked about you know
- 1:16:44separating or whatever when um she got
- 1:16:46into bed or after you woke up yeah um
- 1:16:50when did that start so in the five weeks
- 1:16:54that we were
- 1:16:55like when she was in North Carolina and
- 1:16:57I was back here and when did she leave
- 1:16:59for North Carolina what was that
- 1:17:01date June
- 1:17:0326 so the end of June yeah okay so she
- 1:17:07leaves for in June and not when what
- 1:17:10yeah yeah like being like when we were
- 1:17:13talking and everything and texting and
- 1:17:15calling each other like we could feel
- 1:17:17like there was like that disconnect
- 1:17:20there and like over that period of time
- 1:17:23like it our conversations were shorter
- 1:17:26text messages were a little bit less you
- 1:17:27know like like more like emotional type
- 1:17:30thing you know more love less
- 1:17:31lovey-dovey type things so explain like
- 1:17:34even before June was there any other
- 1:17:37issues as far as your relationship goes
- 1:17:39or I mean everyone goes through ups and
- 1:17:40downs mean yeah I mean like like over a
- 1:17:43year ago you know it's more of like you
- 1:17:45know I could see that maybe W it wasn't
- 1:17:47like as hot and heavy as as like you
- 1:17:49know as it was when we first met you
- 1:17:51know that spark and anything like that
- 1:17:53but like you know like you know like you
- 1:17:55said ups and downs marriages like you
- 1:17:56know they have their lows and they have
- 1:17:58their highs and like I was hoping that
- 1:18:01we we can just like we could just like
- 1:18:03it would just work itself out like it's
- 1:18:05hard with babies and you know yeah I
- 1:18:08mean yeah with when when a kids are
- 1:18:09involved it's a little bit harder a lot
- 1:18:11harder and just as far as like your time
- 1:18:13away from your spouse and you know just
- 1:18:15trying to make time for them and you
- 1:18:18give them emotional attention and that
- 1:18:20kind of stuff I know that kind of can
- 1:18:21get strained did you feel that once you
- 1:18:24started having kids or you know that
- 1:18:27even before yeah we didn't like like go
- 1:18:29out on dates really a whole lot after we
- 1:18:30had kids cuz I mean we just you know
- 1:18:32kids kids monopolize a lot of your time
- 1:18:35like they take up a lot so it's like you
- 1:18:36want to focus like r on kids all the
- 1:18:38time and that's what we did we didn't
- 1:18:41really focus on ourselves much and I
- 1:18:43think that's where like I'm not going to
- 1:18:45blame the kids for a disconnection or
- 1:18:47anything but like yeah we focus like on
- 1:18:49the kids like all the time but like and
- 1:18:52then like as our relationship got longer
- 1:18:54longer it was more of like like I could
- 1:18:57feel that disconnect that was there like
- 1:18:59we're really talk like we didn't have
- 1:19:01those deep conversations anymore like
- 1:19:03you know anything like
- 1:19:05that but like that's that's when I kind
- 1:19:07of all started and I was hoping that you
- 1:19:08know maybe it just just work itself out
- 1:19:11and being like when I those five weeks
- 1:19:13when she was in North Carolina and I was
- 1:19:15here like I could feel it more like tell
- 1:19:18me about that what do you mean by that
- 1:19:20so like you could feel like the
- 1:19:21disconnect more like in the
- 1:19:22conversations we were having and like it
- 1:19:23were just short and like it felt like
- 1:19:27you know like when we're texting each
- 1:19:29other and nothing was the same as far as
- 1:19:31that goes like calling each other
- 1:19:32Nothing Was the Same and you could when
- 1:19:35I got there that's when it all you can
- 1:19:37kind of all like when we were talking it
- 1:19:40was just nothing yeah tell me about that
- 1:19:41like what did it seem like when you got
- 1:19:43out there fin like when I got out there
- 1:19:44it was just like you could feel like you
- 1:19:46know get to the airport you know wrap
- 1:19:48the kids like around they they come
- 1:19:50running they come running through the
- 1:19:52alarm and everything they running
- 1:19:53through a place they couldn't even run
- 1:19:54into and gave them big old hug and
- 1:19:58everything and then like gave shenan a
- 1:19:59hug and everything and just like you can
- 1:20:01just feel it start from there like
- 1:20:02everything just felt like
- 1:20:05different kiss or anything we kissed
- 1:20:07right then but like after that it was
- 1:20:09just like every every night it was more
- 1:20:11of like a we talked but it was like
- 1:20:15mainly it was through
- 1:20:17text like when you were there yeah yeah
- 1:20:20cuz it was more like like whenever we
- 1:20:22would talk about like how we were
- 1:20:23feeling it was more of like we were just
- 1:20:26text back and forth type of thing cuz
- 1:20:28like that's how that's how we could get
- 1:20:29our feelings more across cuz her M
- 1:20:31everybody was still there like we
- 1:20:32weren't really alone cuz her parents
- 1:20:34were there so when did tell me about
- 1:20:36like when did that first text you know
- 1:20:38like what was that first text like as
- 1:20:40far as like one of you you know deciding
- 1:20:43to talk to the other one about maybe
- 1:20:45separating or you know not feeling great
- 1:20:47about your relationship or whatever like
- 1:20:48who was that first person that sent that
- 1:20:50text and what did that text look like it
- 1:20:53was probably on her phone but so when I
- 1:20:55got there it was July 31st went to the
- 1:20:57beach August 1st and her dad was there
- 1:21:00for a few days and then her mom came
- 1:21:02down so they're we were never really
- 1:21:04like alone with like alone together so
- 1:21:07that's why some of our conversations
- 1:21:09were through text as far as that goes so
- 1:21:11why you're both there together you're
- 1:21:12still texting about stuff and what what
- 1:21:15were those texts about like what did
- 1:21:16they say it's just kind of like you
- 1:21:18know where is our relationship going
- 1:21:21type thing like where like like if we're
- 1:21:23bringing a third kid into this world
- 1:21:25like like what's what's our relationship
- 1:21:29going to look like like is it going to
- 1:21:31be are we going to be are we going to
- 1:21:34work this out or is this going to lead
- 1:21:38to a separation is this going to lead to
- 1:21:40where like we stay together and be civil
- 1:21:42with the kids or are we going to be our
- 1:21:45separate ways
- 1:21:47and stuff like that and what was she
- 1:21:50what was her reaction to all
- 1:21:52that it was I mean a lot of it was
- 1:21:55emotional it was a lot of crying it was
- 1:21:57just like I'm not sure
- 1:21:59like how to word that but it was more of
- 1:22:02the what are we going to do like how are
- 1:22:06we going to make can we how are we going
- 1:22:08to make this work so your wife wanted to
- 1:22:10make it work and we both wanted to see
- 1:22:12like all right is this is this going to
- 1:22:13make it work is this going to work like
- 1:22:15are we still at that point in our
- 1:22:18relationship where we're going to make
- 1:22:20this
- 1:22:21work so like when she went to when she
- 1:22:24went to Arizona she confided in a bunch
- 1:22:26of her friends as far as like what was
- 1:22:28going on as far as like where our
- 1:22:30relationship was and how do you know
- 1:22:32that they well once once this
- 1:22:34disappearance happened like I they KN
- 1:22:36like I didn't know if they knew or not
- 1:22:38they reached out to you and told you
- 1:22:39that they knew well I told him like you
- 1:22:41know we were you know going to go
- 1:22:44through like with a separation and
- 1:22:45everything like oh we we knew you guys
- 1:22:47were having some issues there and
- 1:22:50everything I'm like oh okay I didn't
- 1:22:52know did they tell you what Chan had
- 1:22:54said no I just said they just like they
- 1:22:56saw her like and she her emotional state
- 1:22:58it wasn't the same as far as like they
- 1:23:01could tell something was like it was
- 1:23:03different about her so in North Carolina
- 1:23:04is that the first time you guys have
- 1:23:06ever talked about maybe not being
- 1:23:08together and maybe you know figuring out
- 1:23:10life separately yeah okay and was that
- 1:23:13more would you say you bringing it up to
- 1:23:16her or her bring me bring it up to her
- 1:23:18okay okay did she ask you why like why
- 1:23:23now you know or oh yeah that kind of
- 1:23:25stuff what what did you say back to her
- 1:23:28yeah it was more of just like I didn't
- 1:23:29feel that I didn't feel that connection
- 1:23:31anymore like I like fell out a love kind
- 1:23:34of thing or you describe it yeah it was
- 1:23:36more of like I don't feel the same way
- 1:23:39that I used to like I don't I don't
- 1:23:42think we have that connection anymore to
- 1:23:44where like I can just like be myself and
- 1:23:47just like be everything that I need to
- 1:23:49be for you right now and that's that's
- 1:23:51how where I explain the
- 1:23:54and she said
- 1:23:56what she didn't like know really what to
- 1:23:59say it was just like I I don't know I
- 1:24:02didn't see it but it's like I want to
- 1:24:05work on it and I want to see where this
- 1:24:09can go like if we can fix it like like
- 1:24:12either through a book or like counseling
- 1:24:15or so after your conversation with her
- 1:24:18it was your this is in North Carolina
- 1:24:20right belief that you guys would try and
- 1:24:22work on it together just to see if it
- 1:24:25would kind of work or or just kind of
- 1:24:26like see where this like like we'll take
- 1:24:28this week like because it was an
- 1:24:30emotional week just because of
- 1:24:31everything we we were saying and like
- 1:24:33what we were what we were thinking like
- 1:24:36and all that especially bringing our kid
- 1:24:37into the world it's like we want that
- 1:24:40environment to be as like healthy as
- 1:24:43possible sure did you guys I'm sorry
- 1:24:46it's fre in here I'm pump this up a
- 1:24:48little bit
- 1:24:50um did you guys sleep in the same bed
- 1:24:54you there in uh in North or North
- 1:24:58Carolina yeah yeah like there's there
- 1:25:00was a couple I slept in the kids' room
- 1:25:02one time or slept in the kids' room one
- 1:25:04time and slept on the couch another time
- 1:25:07is it just because of the tension
- 1:25:08there's there's a t there's tension in
- 1:25:09there that's good and then when we got
- 1:25:12here we got but when you're there like
- 1:25:15did you guys have sex at all or no no
- 1:25:18okay were you guys affectionate after
- 1:25:20the kiss at the airport not really okay
- 1:25:23that's where like that's where we could
- 1:25:24feel like it wasn't like it wasn't
- 1:25:26really there at that point in time okay
- 1:25:29and up until the point where she left
- 1:25:31was it you know affectionate
- 1:25:35and no I mean what was your sex life
- 1:25:37like I mean it was I mean the last time
- 1:25:40we had sex was in like may like when the
- 1:25:43kid was born or a kid was conceived so
- 1:25:46that would have been in May been like
- 1:25:49cuz she found out second week of June so
- 1:25:52it would have been like May okay and was
- 1:25:54there a um celebration or something that
- 1:25:57you know did you guys go out did you
- 1:25:59have a date did you no she got me a few
- 1:26:02shirts that had like a you know um is
- 1:26:06said like Dad code ficient of3 type
- 1:26:09thing um she had a couple shirts in May
- 1:26:11all one was a back rub type
- 1:26:14thing but as far as when you had sex in
- 1:26:17may like what was there something
- 1:26:19special about that we we had you know
- 1:26:22talked about like having like going
- 1:26:24through pros and cons of having another
- 1:26:26another child and but like we didn't
- 1:26:28like have like a celebration like of
- 1:26:31having sex so you guys like so you were
- 1:26:33talking about maybe having another kid
- 1:26:35and then you were actually trying that
- 1:26:36night to have another kid yeah I think
- 1:26:39after waited until she was like was like
- 1:26:42when she was like ovulating type thing
- 1:26:44was she keeping track of that she yeah
- 1:26:45she always has that on her
- 1:26:47own right it's like a like a cycle
- 1:26:50tracker okay type thing and it tells you
- 1:26:52okay so did you find that sex was more
- 1:26:55like a job or did you really enjoy it
- 1:26:58with your wife as far as I I never felt
- 1:27:00like it was a task okay like even like
- 1:27:03we're going to do it now cuz I need to
- 1:27:04get pregnant whatever like no it it
- 1:27:07wasn't like I mean whenever you're
- 1:27:08trying to have a kid I mean you have to
- 1:27:11like plan that part as far as that goes
- 1:27:14sure because like you can't just like
- 1:27:16you know have like every day or twice a
- 1:27:18day like to get pregnant you have to
- 1:27:20like once and then kind of wait two days
- 1:27:22or something whatever the formula is is
- 1:27:24like she said you have to wait like 2
- 1:27:26days and then try again okay but that's
- 1:27:28what that was okay so before that time
- 1:27:32in May how often would you say that you
- 1:27:34guys were having sex maybe
- 1:27:37like once or twice a week okay so why do
- 1:27:42you think it significantly stopped right
- 1:27:44after she
- 1:27:46conceived and me like it was that's kind
- 1:27:51of hard to tell cuz we went through SP
- 1:27:52little spurts where like maybe it wasn't
- 1:27:54like once every every once or twice a
- 1:27:58week like there was times we went like a
- 1:28:00month or two like without without having
- 1:28:03sex like sometimes like I would try and
- 1:28:07that would you know she was tired or you
- 1:28:09know something was going on like she was
- 1:28:11just aggravated or something she was
- 1:28:12like not tonight like type thing like I
- 1:28:15was usually one to initiate it mhm like
- 1:28:18but i' say most times it was like I was
- 1:28:20shot down but that's I mean married life
- 1:28:24honestly you just kept trying yeah like
- 1:28:26you keep you try I mean like you never
- 1:28:28stop trying cuz I mean that's I mean if
- 1:28:31you felt like it was a job or task you
- 1:28:33wouldn't drive mhm but like you know I I
- 1:28:36enjoyed having having sex with her so I
- 1:28:38mean okay it was as far as like um North
- 1:28:43Carolina goes like when you guys kind of
- 1:28:45broach the subject of maybe you know
- 1:28:48separating or whatever um did she accuse
- 1:28:52you of you know cuz I mean I think it
- 1:28:54would be a normal wife's reaction to be
- 1:28:55like who is it like you know like who's
- 1:28:58the chick or whatever yeah I mean like
- 1:28:59like that that kind of came up you know
- 1:29:01like and I was just like you know that
- 1:29:03would never happen like you know the

- 1:31:15she knew I was at the house so I mean
- 1:31:18it's like um she had no reason to really
- 1:31:21have that that fear in her head but
- 1:31:23being away for you know that amount of
- 1:31:26time and being pregnant and it's like
- 1:31:29that's going to run through her mind has
- 1:31:31she ever been away that long before no
- 1:31:35okay you talk about you know her being
- 1:31:36pregnant or whatever like how was she
- 1:31:38different when she was pregnant that
- 1:31:40when she wasn't pregnant well I guess
- 1:31:42just you're just more more emotional in
- 1:31:45general I just want to make
- 1:31:48sure yeah okay um more emotional oh yeah
- 1:31:52I mean that's that's normal I mean her
- 1:31:54Cravings hadn't really changed or
- 1:31:55anything like that but just like you
- 1:31:57know just more emotional and everything
- 1:31:59like that mhm would she kind of admit
- 1:32:01that like I'm pregnant whatever well I
- 1:32:04mean I guess she's like you know she's
- 1:32:05just you know she's with her mom and she
- 1:32:07gets really you know her mom's like
- 1:32:10really like she's full Italian so like
- 1:32:13she's always like you
- 1:32:15know always just like gho about
- 1:32:18everything and it makes sh like really
- 1:32:20anxious sometimes and like you know like
- 1:32:21it's it's a lot of stress being over
- 1:32:24there with you know her family and my
- 1:32:26family as far as like everybody you know
- 1:32:28like she she's she's over there by
- 1:32:29herself with the kids do you guys all
- 1:32:31get along like just I mean yeah I mean
- 1:32:34pretty civil for you said that you went
- 1:32:36to your parents by yourself like was
- 1:32:37there a reason why shenan and the girls
- 1:32:39didn't go yeah because there was a there
- 1:32:41was an incident where my mom had
- 1:32:44something in the house that CC could was
- 1:32:46kind of allergic to what was that it was
- 1:32:49some ice cream and what what are your
- 1:32:51kids sick with I guess CC IC to tree
- 1:32:54nuts okay and um so not peanuts but like
- 1:32:58my kids allergic to peanuts but not tree
- 1:33:00nuts so yeah so peanuts is like a I
- 1:33:03guess oh it's growing from the ground so
- 1:33:05the Tre enough like pistachios and
- 1:33:08cashews and stuff like that those the
- 1:33:09good ones I know and kiwi kiwi is like
- 1:33:13grown like I guess the spores have like
- 1:33:16something that's related to tree nuts
- 1:33:18found out out the hard way as well but
- 1:33:20yeah like there was an incident where
- 1:33:22she had something in the house
- 1:33:24as far as it was it was ice cream that
- 1:33:27CCE couldn't have and my one of my
- 1:33:30sister's kids went and grabbed some she
- 1:33:32was eating next to CC
- 1:33:35and it was just a point where like
- 1:33:38shenan said I they cannot come over here
- 1:33:41again since I mean cuz CCE is the one
- 1:33:44that kind of would lunge as she just
- 1:33:46grab like I mean oh if my sister's get
- 1:33:49at would happen so fast you wouldn't
- 1:33:50even be able to you you know cuz I mean
- 1:33:52like how we figured out tree nuts was an
- 1:33:54issue it's cuz she had a little sliver
- 1:33:56of a cashew one day a sliver and made it
- 1:34:00react and her reactions got worse over
- 1:34:04her her last panel was was a couple like
- 1:34:07a month two months ago or something like
- 1:34:09that and her reaction was a little bit
- 1:34:11when they prick her back and
- 1:34:12everything so like that that kind of
- 1:34:15drove shenan to where like all right
- 1:34:17they can't come over again if you're
- 1:34:19going to have this in this house and
- 1:34:20that kind of that's why that happened
- 1:34:23when was that was that this during this
- 1:34:24trip or was that from before it was
- 1:34:26during that 5 weeks span okay yeah and
- 1:34:29they hadn't seen the kids in like two

- 2:00:46uh open and shut uh sensors on the
- 2:00:49basement door and the sliding rear slide
- 2:00:52door and obviously the front door and
- 2:00:55both garage doors so is it anytime
- 2:00:57they're open or just if they're Next
- 2:00:59stend Period of time so like uh if one
- 2:01:02if the door is left open it after a
- 2:01:04certain amount of time it'll say U the
- 2:01:07front door at 2825 s of Trail has been
- 2:01:10left open so did it alert you that she
- 2:01:13was outside using the keypad to get in
- 2:01:16when she got home or no it just it
- 2:01:18picked her up walking up to the door and
- 2:01:20did it alert you that
- 2:01:22when I saw it the next morning it wasn't
- 2:01:25enough that it woke you up no it's very
- 2:01:28like a faint like type thing and what's
- 2:01:31the living room one what's that for it's
- 2:01:33just a motion detector like if like you
- 2:01:35set alarm to away like you know nobody's
- 2:01:37going to be in the house that's you know
- 2:01:39stuff like that it'll pick that up and
- 2:01:41set alarm off does it is it on when
- 2:01:44you're home though no like we if you
- 2:01:47said it to a away while you're home
- 2:01:48you're just going to check the alarm
- 2:01:50okay so you don't have any of those like
- 2:01:52active I guess when you're well it's
- 2:01:54it's always active but it's not set to
- 2:01:56you can set the away and stay or
- 2:01:58disarmed but it's still going to pick it
- 2:02:00up oh okay like it'll like if you look
- 2:02:02on my phone like go to the viven app
- 2:02:04it'll show you like uh living room
- 2:02:07motion detected so and I guess so just
- 2:02:10for my own knowledge did you actually
- 2:02:12look at that obviously when she went
- 2:02:14missing and the girls did you look at
- 2:02:16your living room alarms and that I mean
- 2:02:18to see if there was stuff going on it
- 2:02:20doesn't like cuz we had so many like
- 2:02:23like doorbell trips cuz it was messing
- 2:02:25up so much as far as like little things
- 2:02:27setting it off it only I can only go to
- 2:02:29the history so far so you don't pay for
- 2:02:32the cloud storage for that no okay did
- 2:02:35is that an option uh they had never
- 2:02:37given it to me okay but like so how far
- 2:02:39did it go
- 2:02:41back this is I'm not sure how many like
- 2:02:44different
- 2:02:45like events that it can store like it'll
- 2:02:48have notifications you can scroll a bell
- 2:02:50it eventually just ends not sure how
- 2:02:52long they'll actually keep it so when
- 2:02:54you when this all happened did you look
- 2:02:56on there and it like the only thing that
- 2:02:58I saw that was really strange was that
- 2:03:00uh when I left it said uh the garage do
- 2:03:02stayed
- 2:03:04open and no so if that was on there at
- 2:03:085: whatever in the morning right
- 2:03:11wouldn't the other stuff still be there
- 2:03:12too that happened after like if there
- 2:03:14was Motion in the living room or the
- 2:03:16basement or whatever it should have been
- 2:03:17the only thing there was like a basement
- 2:03:20door left open and garage door left open
- 2:03:23oh when was the basement door left open
- 2:03:25it was about the same time 5:27 yeah it
- 2:03:28was like it like wasin a
- 2:03:33minute and then what was the other one
- 2:03:35did you say that garage door left
- 2:03:38open was the basement door open when you
- 2:03:41went back not that I
- 2:03:43remember like when I got there
