EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And then that's when she wanted to go to the store and get some snacks and stuff ready for the next day for the kids. And that's when I left again, and I came back.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I didn't go get snacks.

Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
When I left, I came back at, I would say four hours, because then I came back before five. It was like early months. My son wasn't probably in love, but it was daylight. And that's when I noticed when I
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
just walked up to the door and pushed us and you know that's kind of strange and then that's when I came in I kicked off my shoes I laid in the bed and I closed the door so you so you get back and your sister drops you off and that's between four and five in the morning and you said you go in and how was how did you get in the room do you have like a key card you use you knock I normally knock but see this time when I went I went like this but sometimes with that door you have to
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
times with the door, not all the time. So I noticed before I went to knock on my first one, it kind of went in. So that's when I laid on the bed and I was like, you know, but he didn't close it all the way. And I was a bit tired. So I don't know if I put the latch on or off, but it really don't matter because Maury's almost my height and she can easily push that in and
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Well, it's like I didn't think to notice that she would go. So I'm assuming when I, yeah, I didn't really look, because my corner, I went straight to my corner, which is on the right side. So as soon as you open the door, my... So you just wanted to go to bed.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
She was in bed.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
That's when I was asleep. And that's when Brittany woke me up and said, babe, you know, we got to find her. And I'm like, what happened? What's going on? And she's like, I think Laura went away. And then that's when she went outside and started looking.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Well, to my knowledge, she didn't even want to, I guess she wanted to go out. I didn't care. She was just like, I need you for a few, for a few hours. And then those two hours turned to three hours. And then I was just mainly waiting on her. So I think she went out and partied. I'm not sure. Sometimes she has on her work clothes and then she'll change it and go party. So she'll tell me one thing.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah, I went with her to my grandma's house. So did you just hang out with grandma or how'd that work? It's my grandma, my aunt, my niece, my nephew. Then my cousin that all stays in the house. It's like six people. Dad, aunt, niece.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Just really just communicate with. I was downstairs because it's a three-level house.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Mm-hmm.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah. So y'all didn't even hang out? Me and my sister, we have a love-hate relationship, but that's my world. I mainly just do it for my nieces and nephews. So if I haven't seen them for a long time, I don't know. And sometimes she pays me, and sometimes she doesn't.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Okay?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I'm going to tell you from my personal experience. So when I first came around here, which was two years ago when I got back with Brittany, because we were together before she had kids. And then we separated, and then we came back together. My one-on-one relationship with her was, she was a sweet child, but the only thing was her behavioral problems.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Like, when she didn't get her way, she would literally, like, punch herself. And it's like, Maura, why are you doing it? Because I first noticed it when Brittany had left and went to go grocery shopping. We were staying in Robin Landon in Decatur a long time ago.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
that's when I was like, you know, you know, I came to a person, I said, Brittany, you know, she, when I told her no for something, she hit herself in the face and she was like, you know, just bear with me. You know, I'm getting her help. Cause she was going through speech therapy. She did have two therapists for her speech and to help, you know, with her.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And, um, that's, that's my, from the first time I seen word. And then that's when I noticed, um, every time Brittany would tell her, um, go wash the dishes or go take a bath, she'll stomp. or she'll scream to the top of her lungs or she'll kick because it's something she don't want to do at the moment. So it was like, my main relationship was with her was like, hey Maureen, how you doing?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
You know, typically with a child, are you okay today? And then sometimes she don't respond to me and sometimes she don't, but she really don't respond to strangers. And before that incident happened, all I know was Renee told me that Maureen had an attitude and I said, why she got an attitude? And she was like, I don't want to talk about it. She always had an attitude.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And then that's when I left it alone. I was like, okay, when Maura's mad, she don't like to be talked to. So I don't talk to her when she's mad. I try to calm her down and try to buy her things that she likes.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
What I think? I think Maura probably got super mad. Like, it could be a thousand reasons. I really don't know what goes through... I'm not the mother. So I really don't know what goes through this girl's mind. I'm still learning her. So it's like, I mean, it's just been two years. So I'm still learning her and still getting her to accept me because she does realize it was just her in her moment.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Now I came into the picture. So I don't know if it probably was different for her. Like, who is this person? Trying to understand who I was.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
No, she just tells me, leave me alone. And I'm like, leave me alone. And then when she's done, probably an hour later, she'll probably come back and be like, I apologize. I'm like, you know, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. And then she'll go walk off and then it'll be something else that she's not about. But over these two years, it just slowly progressed.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
So I would say like this week was like totally different with me and Ward because she, two weeks ago, started her cycle. So I don't know if that's A part of it, considering the fact that she's autism and female has to have a cycle. So I'm not sure. But I know this one, she was more minimal speaking. Normally she'll ask how you're doing. Yeah, normally she'll ask how you're doing or hey, Dad.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Or later she'll just wake up, go to the restroom, lay down, and don't want to be bothered by her sister's birth. Nobody. So what do you think happened later? I really think she just, God forbid, but I really think that
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
That I knew of since I was little. Wanted to run away, or? Well, the one time she was at school, and then Brittany had to go up there because the teacher said that she had Well, she said the teacher had told her she couldn't do something. And like I said, when you tell her no, she really doesn't like it. She's not your typical, when you tell the child no. So what did she do at the school?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
The school, she literally stood there and pissed on herself.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
She walked out the class and just went, but was still in the school, but was like down the hall. Down the hall. But she walked out the class.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Checked the camera, guaranteed.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Really? This morning?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I mean, did an accident happen or something? She went out looking around and she came back. Because when she went out, she told me she walked around. She's like, yeah, man, I'm looking around. Did you see her go walking around? I only saw her go down the steps and go down the side. And by that time, she's already on the phone with me.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And then we were standing outside. A neighbor, I'm assuming she was a neighbor, came up to Brittany and me. And then she said it was some guy in a black vehicle with a box. And there was 10 or 12 kids playing behind there. And he was trying to tell them to come, I guess, towards the car. I don't know. I don't know if that's true.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
In a black car in the back that had a brown box in the passenger seat. You remember? And was trying to lure kids in. Which neighbor? Honestly, she looks like a crackhead. Honestly.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I was told she was living there because she came on that level, or she was just trying to be nosy because there was police everywhere.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah, he was trying to, she said, lure them in.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
She was a white female, and she had, I want to say, pink nails and pink toes with a gray hoodie and blonde hair coming in front. with like red pimples on the sides of her face.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Gray hoodie.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
On the side of her face.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I didn't even see her come out. She was talking to Brittany at first. And then that's when Brittany came in because she was on the phone. And that's when I stepped out there. And then that's when she was telling me about her autistic boy that went missing.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I've never seen her before.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
That's my first time.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
she said phone call again and i stepped in because i was like this lady's crazy now did she describe the guy that was in the car if you she said he was a black man with a beard and that's the most i got from and i said what happened like did somebody alert or something like that she said somebody screamed out and by that time he pulled off does she remember around what time that was no i didn't she didn't tell you she didn't say like last night but she was talking she did talk to you okay
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Like, you mean her whole life?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Like, last night. Literally, like, all I know was Moore was mad. And when you're trying to calm it down, it don't work. You have to let it.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Oh, never got physical. No? Never got physical. the more she will get physical to herself. To herself, okay.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
No, but I wouldn't call the only major argument that I ever witnessed between those two, Brittany and Nicole, the only major one was when she peed on herself and shitted on herself on purpose because I guess she wanted a different attention. I really don't know. I'm still figuring out more about that.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
No, that was like recently here at the hotel. Okay.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Well, I do remember the first time, from what I know, I do remember from the first time when I met Maureen and stuff like that, she had said that somebody was touching her. And Brittany took that very seriously.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Well, at first she thought Moore was hitting herself. Sometimes Maura would leave a mark here or a bruise here and she would fear, you know, sometimes like going to the hospital for it. And I'm like, you know, put ice on it. I told her, I said, put ice on it because if it don't go down, then, you know, take her to the hospital.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And she was like, I don't want them to think that I'm abusing my child and they try to take her away. And I'm like, they're not, but you do have to say something. So I believe she would definitely say something. Yeah.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
To the Batgirl Hospital? Oh, she's saying that because when Maury would act out, I'd say, Maury, listen, if you can't listen to us, you're going to go, can't say defects, can't say none of that stuff. I'd say, Maury, if you can't play with your sister, to this place, and normally when we say that, we're gonna act right for at least three hours.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Back row, yeah. Okay, a back row hospital. Mainly back row, yeah.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
That helped her calm down for at least a certain amount of hours. if she's screaming or throwing a temper tantrum because neighbors don't want to hear it. The neighbors think otherwise and the neighbors get involved like today.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I didn't take her last night. I don't know why she would say that.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Walking around the hotel. Yeah. Because when she got back, she told me she started walking but calling the police because she was outside.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
She always hears me say, I'm taking her somewhere or take her for a walk or step outside with me if I feel like she's doing too much. So that really hurts me when she interprets it that way from her, because I know, like, she went to jail. I wouldn't purposely take her out, then call you to say she's missing.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
If I was in the room today, you guys would not be questioning me if I wasn't in the room. So it's like they ain't calling 9-1-4, but I feel like I'm being interrogated. So it was like, it's just how you're going.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Well, I've been in this predicament before when someone murdered my mother and they didn't come at me like this. When they sat me down, they just let me write everything and they just went off that. But it's like, it's just, I'm just being real with you. It's like how you come at me was, I think you did this. I think you know, you just said it. I know, I think you know where she is.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And it's like, if you've, Think I know them. What are you trying to get me to say?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
It's like the fact that you even said you haven't seen Nicole outside. It's like... What camera are you looking at?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah, Brittany. You haven't seen Brittany outside. It's like, what camera are you looking at? She purposely went outside. Because that's when my neighbor came, opened the door and said, is everything all right?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I'm not detained.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I'm not detained, so I'm free to go whenever I want to. So the fact that I'm even willing to sit with you and go through this, I could have been a bonehead and said, oh, I'm out.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
You have a child. But you wouldn't know me. You see what I'm saying? You wouldn't know me.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
No.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
So just be honest with me, right? Because I'm not detained. So be honest with me. You're interrogating me because like you said from the initial, I think you know where Nicole is.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
This was last minute, taking kids out in the cold and then saying, hurry up. It's ridiculous.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
No, it's the difference between the hurry. Don't get it wrong. Oh, do all the research you want to do. Go find, go dig, go do whatever.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Like I said, I've been in this predicament before and I never sat with a guy like this.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I don't know why she said that. You would have to ask her that. So you're just saying she's just making it up? No, I'm not making that up, but they don't like when I get mad, but I don't get mad to the point where it's like threats and stuff like that. Has it ever gotten visible? No, I don't know.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
You're around them just as much.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah, I know about Zaire because sometimes if some, well, Brittany doesn't want Maury and Zaire work hard to be around each other because Maury and Zaire wants touch card. And since he's autistic, he doesn't know, like, this isn't right, this isn't this. So sometimes when I catch her doing it, I leave her licking.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And then some of the times it's like, it's self-involved, like some of the stuff she fought fell off the bed.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I'm here, and then I'm there, and when I question, it's like, You don't want to know what she did. Do you think mom might be putting those prunes on her? No, I don't think so. No? Because if it was, I would have told Brittany to chill.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Like different objects? No, just like spanking, just like with her hands. Like spanking, she'll probably pop her butt, but never to that extent.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Yeah, like the level of degree that things that get when war is around, it's, because Zaire and Moore would have back-to-back altercations. And if we go to you about it right now, we would have been the ones, oh, you're doing it. So it's like separate.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
And I think that's what really got to Moore because we just had to separate each and every one of them because it was too much going on that wasn't normal for kids. So they would fight a lot. Zaire and Moore would fight each other.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
It's times where Brittany will go to the bathroom and then all of a sudden you'll see Maureen yanking her hair or it's always something. I'll say like out of seven days a week, probably at least five or Maureen's jumping off the bed, it's thumping or it's always something.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
All I'm saying is, just to clear things, I am discombobulated. I cannot give you exact times. If you feel like I wanted to BP that time, Run the camera back to the BP where you saw me with this hat or my dad. Run it back to there. But it's like I cannot sit here. You know how you approach people to try to get something out of someone?
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
You don't approach people like that to try to get something out of someone because you think so. Then why would a little girl just, why would a little girl? I'm telling you everything that's going on. And then when we come for help, we don't really get help. That's why a lot of people do things and just don't call the cops and handle it their own way.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
Because it can flip, just like what it did today. Like my dad always told me, anything can flip with cops. So it just pisses me off because I've been out all day. I've been answering you respectfully all morning. Respectfully all morning. Then I get here and I'm in the room that I've never been in before that I've seen on First 48.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
and being chastised with questions trying to make me, I think you did it. As soon as he said that, it broke me to the core. Because if I did, I damn sure wouldn't be in that hotel. I would be gone, on the run.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I stuck around and I talked, and he's telling him, my daughter, I'll be here. Dude, that's you. But I know with me, when the police said they looked, okay, I'm going to look too. I'm not going to be here all night. answering the same questions, not on new questions, these same questions. And oh, it's not adding up with Brittany. At the end of the day, that's Brittany's daughter.
Murder In America
EP. 191: GEORGIA - The Child In The Trash Bag: The Disturbing Murder of Amari Hall
I'm just, I'm not even the real biological father. None of me is on paper with them, with those kids. They don't have my last name, nothing. So why should my, my things just be ran through? Where you been here? Why you been driving here? Why was this over here? Why was that over? I'm not going to keep answering that. I'm not a cop. If I wanted to be one, I would have been wearing that badge easily.
Murder In America

I have no record. Easy to become a cop. I know it is. I know you guys ran me. I'm clean. There's nothing on me. I'm a good citizen. And I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my fucking girlfriend daughter run out. I'm not going to do that. Now I'm going to take better protocols and get a camera for my kids. But it's messed up, man.

I just want to go get our phone because we have to pay our room the next day. We work day by day to pay the room. And it look even more messed up. We coming back from cops containing us all day. And now we got to hustle up. We don't have family like that. I told you I'm a black sheep of the family. So is she. That's why we're sticking together and we're trying to work this out.

We thought we could trust you guys. That's why we called you. We didn't call you to be chastised. The information I gave you, the information she gave you, when she woke up, she was not there. That's it. You can flip the bed. You guys checked the bed 10 times. Go flip it again. We give you permission to go in there.

If you guys asked us, but you guys kept coming in, kept coming in, which you know you got to have a warrant to come in anyway, but we opened the door and let you come in. So it's like, just have some respect for us. It's like, come on, we wouldn't be calling you for help if we, I would have just got away with it. If that was the case, but no, we called for help.

I said, babe, yes, do the right thing. I was just as mad as her. We both were crying, breaking down. I said, babe, let's pull it together because Zaire doesn't like to see us crying. Then he asked questions and he wanted to know how I'm going to explain that to my father-in-law, someone who's autistic. It was really, he's too in the mind. So it's too much.

That's my final answer. I don't know. That's my final answer. No, I don't know. Because my family is not involved in this. They don't even know. They don't even know their names. None of their names. They don't know them. I don't communicate with my family like the only people I deal with is my niece and nephew. And that's why I told you it was the mother of them is Diamond Alexis' sister.

That's my sister. They're the only people I deal with. But I'm not going to get them involved in something. And I'm asking for help. And y'all reaching out to people in my family that really don't give a two shits about Brittany. They don't. So I just want to get our stuff and we go. And if you guys can, you know, keep looking. Okay, keep looking. We never said stop.

Hell, we're going to figure out stuff, too, because she has police in her family. So I'm quite sure she's going to reach out to them, too. We're not just going to sit back and let this ride. No, that's not us. But I'm trying to be the strongest now because I don't want my kids to see that I'm weak. I'm a very strong woman. If I do something, I'm going to tell you.

I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my child run out. I'm not that person at all. And if you guys want to go in there and ask neighbor after neighbor after neighbor after neighbor, then go ask each neighbor. Because I wouldn't open no goddamn door for no eight-year-old to run out there, and I know she got a business to do. I wouldn't fucking do it.

But I thought I could trust you guys, but we've been chastised for no reason. And it's not right. Because if I didn't want your help, we wouldn't have called you. We would have said we'll figure out together. This is my first time ever encountering dealing with a police. I have nothing on my record. Nothing. I'm 29 years old. Nothing. So why am I, oh, I think you did it.

Bruh, go pull up my record. There's nothing on there. What are you trying to pin me for? There's nothing on me. I never murdered nobody. I never had anything with no altercation with no police. Nothing. But you want to sit here and say, I think you did it because of what my little girl said. She's six. The minute she see me and her mother argue, she breaks down crying.

That's why we don't argue in front of her.

Sometimes she comes through and she says, hey, tell your family. Like, asking me that don't matter. Like, why does that matter when a child is missing? Why does it matter when I'm getting picked up?
