Chapter 1: What is the story behind the grandmother's tragic case?

54.702 - 63.404 Narrator

A quiet town is terrorized when a beloved grandmother falls victim to a horrific crime.

0

64.204 - 65.765 Detective

We discovered her body in the trunk of the car.

0

66.496 - 76.522 Crime Scene Investigator

There was so much evidence of suffering. There was so much evidence of fear. The most horrific thing that most people could ever imagine.

0

77.262 - 84.046 Narrator

With no clear leads, police must face disturbing questions. Was this a random attack?

0

84.066 - 88.609 Toni's Family Member 4

We just had a total loss of why and how somebody would do this.

89.529 - 93.792 Narrator

Or had the victim fallen prey to a monster lurking in the shadows?

94.366 - 97.487 Detective

The video surveillance showed this young lady pacing back and forth.

97.787 - 103.929 Police Officer

He was searching for a dead lady in the trunk of a car as we were investigating the case.

105.589 - 111.831 Narrator

As investigators scramble for answers, a torrid and desperate romance comes into focus.

Chapter 2: How did the investigation unfold in Fairburn, Georgia?

127.851 - 131.273 Psychologist

Sometimes we make the worst decisions when it comes to being in love with someone.

0

146.744 - 154.735 Narrator

In the Atlanta suburb of Fairburn in Fulton County, Georgia, life slows down for its nearly 16,000 residents.

0

155.696 - 164.228 Fairburn Resident

It's an area where you have nice homes, nice schools, just a nice area altogether. Very small, very quiet.

0

165.936 - 180.388 Narrator

But the town's veneer of peace and safety is shattered on the morning of December 22nd, 2017, when local police receive a call about a suspicious vehicle parked behind a popular restaurant.

0

180.408 - 192.359 Crime Scene Investigator

A citizen called about a car that looked kind of unusual. Basically, a car sitting out there, shattered glass on the driver's side, and it's really sitting out in the middle of the road.

194.781 - 211.235 Police Officer

Once the officers arrived at the location, they observed the driver's side window busted out and the keys to the vehicle was laying on the car seat. The officer then contacted 911 Communications to run the tags through GCIC because he felt like the car was stolen.

213.297 - 219.382 Narrator

Officers learned the vehicle is registered to a local 58-year-old resident named Tony Abad.

221.055 - 229.264 Detective

He asked his dispatcher to try to contact the owner of the vehicle to see if perhaps the vehicle was stolen overnight and she just hadn't woken up to discover it yet.

230.506 - 239.296 Narrator

The dispatcher's calls to Tony's residence go unanswered. Meanwhile, the officer continues his search of the vehicle.

Chapter 3: What was discovered about Toni Abad's life?

325.445 - 335.41 Detective

There was a significant amount of blood inside the trunk of the car to possibly suggest that she still could have been alive inside the trunk of that car before she was discovered.

0

336.991 - 341.874 Crime Scene Investigator

There was so much evidence of suffering. There was so much evidence of fear.

0

341.894 - 350.241 Fairburn Resident

They wanted to know who would do something like this. Who would want to hurt Toni?

0

356.425 - 360.247 Narrator

Georgia native Toni Abad was known for her Southern charm.

0

361.828 - 368.712 Toni's Family Member 4

People were just drawn to her, her personality. You could just tell that they all really cared a lot about her, and the feeling was mutual.

370.073 - 376.637 Toni's Family Member 5

She had a great smile and bright eyes that kind of drew people in and made them feel comfortable.

378.82 - 382.383 Toni's Family Member 1

She has a laugh that once you hear it, you'll never forget it.

384.005 - 391.812 Narrator

A divorced mother to four boys and five grandchildren, Toni had always valued her family above everything else.

393.253 - 405.564 Toni's Family Member 4

She gave birth to me when she was 15. She was just an amazing mother, even as a young teenage girl to me. And we became best friends, basically almost like we grew up together.

Chapter 4: How did De'Asia Page become a person of interest?

804.966 - 816.209 Fairburn Resident

This is a person who will always help everyone. She was a grandmother. She would never want to hurt anyone. So they really had no idea who would want to hurt Tony.

0

816.989 - 828.332 Narrator

But one of Tony's coworkers offers detectives a new lead when she tells them that she and Tony had been approached by a stranger after they had closed the store the night before.

0

829.841 - 837.768 Police Officer

This female approached them wearing the black jacket that had a fur hood on it. She asked Ms. Abad to give her a ride home.

0

838.85 - 844.875 Narrator

The co-worker says after a brief pause, she saw Tony agree to give the young woman a ride.

0

845.896 - 852.883 Crime Scene Investigator

She remembers being concerned, distinctly concerned that Ms. Abad would say yes because of the kind of person that she was.

854.155 - 874.579 Detective

This is four days before Christmas. It's cold outside. This is the South Atlanta winter, and you have a young lady asking for help getting a ride. I'm sure when Toni walked out of her job that night, she really just saw the face of one of her children when they were 18, and they needed help.

875.679 - 882.92 Crime Scene Investigator

Looking at this young woman who was very thin, you know, really small build, she wasn't willing to leave her there alone.

884.838 - 894.265 Narrator

But who was this woman? Detectives review the store's surveillance tapes from the night of Tony's shift and confirm her coworker's story.

895.946 - 902.911 Detective

The video surveillance showed this young lady pacing back and forth in front of the two entrances and exits to the supermarket.

Chapter 5: What role did Jared Kemp play in the investigation?

1202.591 - 1205.453 De'Asia's Friend 2

Them are red flags, and I used to tell her that all the time.

0

1206.414 - 1215.74 Psychologist

As a teenager, when you're in love, you want to do anything to make that person happy, to be with them. And anybody that infringes on that relationship or doesn't agree will become the enemy.

0

1218.942 - 1226.287 De'Asia's Friend 2

The more deep in love she got with him, the more she started withdrawing from everybody, and the more she was all, oh, I'm grown. I can do whatever I want to do.

0

1227.535 - 1234.983 De'Asia's Friend 1

I felt like I was losing a close friend, you know? Like, wow, like, we were so close, and, like, you're letting someone else, like, kind of break up our friendship.

0

1237.165 - 1246.696 Narrator

Detectives learned that De'Asia's mom had been so troubled by her daughter's relationship, she'd given the teenager an ultimatum earlier that month.

1249.451 - 1255.596 Psychologist

I think mom trying to kind of like teach her a lesson, saying like, well, you're not going to be here and disrespect me. And De'Asia left.

1256.356 - 1263.322 De'Asia's Friend 2

She didn't want to listen to her mama. She was in too deep. She was in love too deep. And she just felt like he was the person for her.

1267.225 - 1270.147 Narrator

Shortly after, De'Asia had dropped out of school.

1271.148 - 1275.852 Psychologist

She came up and she's like, yeah, I'm coming to withdraw. Like, I'm not coming back. Like, I'm not doing it.
