- 0:16said hey I need you to come out to this
- 0:17scene
- 0:18because what I'm seeing here not end up
- 0:21so from the very beginning
- 0:24did did you smell a rat here
- 0:27yeah there were certain things
- 0:28especially that night that some nuances
- 0:32and things that just didn't seem right
- 0:33and quite frankly
- 0:36um her husband you know oftentimes are
- 0:40not the husband's involved in these
- 0:41disappearances and he actually
- 0:43his actions and things he did that day
- 0:45kind of were leading us towards him well
- 0:47let's start unraveling this first take a
- 0:50listen to the 9-1-1 call Keith Made when
- 0:52he discovered Sherry was gone
- 0:57pieces on the line hello can I help you
- 1:00yeah
- 1:01um so I just got home from work and uh
- 1:04my wife wasn't there which is unusual
- 1:06and my kids should have been there by
- 1:08now from like daycare so I was like oh
- 1:10maybe she went on a walk
- 1:11I couldn't find her so I called the
- 1:13daycare to see what time she picked up
- 1:15the kids the kids were never picked up
- 1:16so I got freaked out so I hit like I
- 1:18find my iPhone app thing and it said
- 1:21that her it showed her phone like at our
- 1:23end of our driveway we don't have really
- 1:24good service okay uh not the end of our
- 1:26driveway at the end of our street but
- 1:27just drove down there and I saw her
- 1:29phone with her headphones because she
- 1:30started running again and it's her I
- 1:33found her phone and it's got like hair
- 1:34ripped out of it like in the headphones
- 1:36so I'm like totally freaking out
- 1:38thinking like somebody's like what's her
- 1:39grabbed her okay what's your address
- 1:43I guess he went driving down the street
- 1:47and he saw these sitting on the side of
- 1:50the road yes
- 1:51um and that was another thing that kind
- 1:53of stuck out my mind when I was talking
- 1:54to him because he had the forethought to
- 1:56take a photograph of how he found the
- 1:58phone
- 1:59and when I asked him why he did that he
- 2:01said that he'd want to be a detective
- 2:03and thought that it was important for
- 2:04him to take an Evidence photograph prior
- 2:06to collecting it yeah
- 2:08now knowing all we know now it's almost
- 2:12scary how convincing she was telling her
- 2:14story to police right after she returned
- 2:16home take a look at this and see how
- 2:18convincing she was
- 2:21I know this is hard
- 2:23[Music]
- 2:30feel good
- 2:36the first day with the zip ties
- 2:40getting out of them because they were
- 2:42behind they were behind my back
- 2:45so I pulled them I did one of these
- 2:47moves
- 2:49and that's what this scar right there is
- 2:51from is the very beginning when I got
- 2:54them off there was a chain around my
- 2:55waist
- 2:58um
- 3:00so the chain had
- 3:05[Music]
- 3:13the whole room
- 3:16there was this
- 3:18whole
- 3:21Syracuse
- 3:23all the way up
- 3:27the whole is the only reason why I was
- 3:29there the cable was here
- 3:34turn I'm sorry for swimming
- 3:37and then the cable I could reach all the
- 3:41way to the bed
- 3:42couldn't reach the door couldn't reach
- 3:44the window could reach the bed there was
- 3:47a
- 3:48at all times there was a bucket in the
- 3:52um closet that's what I used to go the
- 3:55bathroom in
- 3:58okay the whole time she's saying all
- 4:00this
- 4:02it's all made up yes
- 4:05Mark when something like this happens
- 4:09this makes it tough
- 4:11for real victims right without question
- 4:14listen I would zealously defend her and
- 4:17anyone accused of a crime because that's
- 4:18my job as a human being I find her
- 4:22behavior abhorrent I think that she got
- 4:25off light I think that she sets back
- 4:28victims in future investigations and
- 4:31worse law enforcement they have precious
- 4:34hours that they devoted to her
- 4:37and quite frankly I don't think that she
- 4:40was sentenced enough do you have a story
- 4:43or a question for me click the link in
- 4:45the description and tell me what in the
- 4:48world is going on
