When 14-year-old Alianna Defreeze didn’t come home from school one January afternoon, her parents knew something terrible had happened. Police would follow clues from video surveillance to find the monster that was responsible for one of the most unjust crimes Cleveland had ever seen.
What happened to Alianna Defreeze?
At that point, I did review the video, and there was a couple of things that we saw on that video. We saw Eliana talking to a younger age kid, approximately her age, high school age kid, that piqued our interest, but she was having some further conversation with him.
And then there was also another adult male that was seen on that video who was seen exiting the bus, and Eliana did exit the bus that piqued our interest as well.
The man in the video footage did more than just talk to Aliana on the bus.
He had gotten off the bus following Aliana's same path Aliana was going where she was crossing East 93rd Street to the other side. And that male in that video appeared to reach out and say something to her in the crosswalk that kind of piqued our interest. It was an older adult male. They had no conversation with her whatsoever on the bus.
But reached out and appeared to have said something to her in that crosswalk.
The man in the RTA bus footage sat facing the front with his white hoodie pulled up. As Aliana exits the bus, he looks up, grabs his two bags, and gets off the bus behind her. He yells something as they both cross the busy intersection, but Aliana keeps walking until she gets to the other side of the street. That's when the footage ends. The bus continues its route.
So what do you do next? At that point, I started to check vacant lots in the area of 93rd and Kinsman. Also on the path of Kinsman to Union, which would be the school area.
So they kept searching. Soon the FBI got involved. Denisha handed over her daughter's phone just in case there was something on it, which she'd found in her bedroom dresser. Anything on there could help. Still, no Aliana. The whole neighborhood was on high alert in search of this beloved teenager. It felt like she had just vanished into thin air. Then, police found a body.
Police have more questions than answers after they discovered the body of a female inside an abandoned home late last night.
