- In the criminal justice
system,

sexually based offenses

are considered
especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

- I want to stay home.

- I know, baby.

I'm sorry.

I know you don't feel good.
[seatbelt clicks]

We're going to swing by
the doctor's office, OK?

How about if we play
a game, huh?

You pick.

- How about "what am I?"

- Oh, that's a good one.

- I'm chubby, yellow,
and nobody likes me.

- Oh, hmm, a bumblebee?

- No, a school bus.

Ha ha.

- [chuckling]

[engine turns over]

- Mom.

- Just give me a minute, Haley.

- When are we going
to the doctor?

- Just one more stop, OK?

Sit tight.
I'll be right back.

- Wait, wait.

Can you please put the heat on?

I'm cold.

- OK, all right.

I'll be two seconds.

[doorbell chimes]

[faint pop music playing]

* *

[doorbell chimes]

- Sorry.
I had the music on.

- It's OK.
Here's your breakfast.

- Thanks.
Cady, right?

- Yeah.

It's all there.
- Sorry.

Last time,
they screwed up my order.

- Oh, yeah.

We good?
- All good.

Let me just get you a tip.

- Thank you.

I've got to get going.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

[engine revving]

- Hey, is that your car?
- Hmm?

Oh, my God.

Haley!

Haley!
Haley!

My car!

Someone just stole my daughter!

Haley!
Haley!

[tires squealing]
Haley!

God! Haley!

No!

Help me, someone, God--

[breathing heavily]

[children giggling]

- I'm so glad
that this worked out.

- I know.

Look at us getting to
walk our kids to school.

- Like a couple
of regular moms.

- I wanted to thank you,
though.

- For?

- For getting my girls
into this program.

- Oh, come on, Amanda.

They're gifted,
just like their mom.

- Mom, my case, it's heavy.
[phone buzzing]

- OK. Well--

- Don't worry.
I've got it.

- Noah's carrying it.
- Thank you, Noah.

- Chief.

Yeah.

[exhales] OK.

OK. Right.

So I'm actually
with Sergeant Amanda Rollins,

so I'll have her loop in
the Intelligence Bureau.

Understood.

Bye.

- Who was that?

- That was our
new chief of Ds.

- What happened?

- Stolen vehicle
on West 88th Street.

- And he's calling all units?

- There was an eight-year-old
little girl in the backseat.

- Oh, my God.

- Mom, is everything OK?

- Yeah, honey.

Amanda and I just have
to run to work.

So I'll see you
after school, OK?

Have a great day.
- I will.

- All right.
- I love you.

- I love you.

- Captain.
Sergeant.

- Chief Barone.

- Do we have an ID
on the missing girl?

- Yes, Haley Greene.

- Her picture and description
are out on alert.

- Is that the mother?
- Yeah, Cady Greene.

She was making a food delivery.

She left the car running
and the doors unlocked.

- In New York?

Was she trying
to get her kid taken?

- Hey, let's not rush
to judgment, OK?

[phone rings]
- Commissioner.

Yeah, I'm on the scene.

- Captain.

We're looking at
a missing girl?

Any leads?
- Not yet.

Full mobilization, OK?

You know the drill.

- Yeah, find witnesses.

- Pull traffic cams.

- The mother was
making a food delivery.

Maybe the guy saw something.
- Copy.

- Ms. Greene,
I'm Captain Benson.

This is Sergeant Rollins.

- I--I left her for a minute.
- OK.

Can you tell us
exactly what happened?

- I mean, maybe whoever it
was thought that they were

just stealing a car, you know?

Maybe they didn't realize that
Haley was in the backseat.

- That's a possibility.

- Maybe they're just
going to push her

out of the car, you know?

- So here's what's going
to happen next, all right?

We're going to take
you down to the station,

and I want you to focus
all your energy

on telling us exactly
what you remember,

exactly what happened, OK?

- And what if they
bring Haley back here?

Or what if she goes
home somehow?

- We have detectives here
covering the scene.

We have them at your apartment.

So if she comes back,
we will know about it.

- OK.

- So is there anybody
that we can call for you?

Is there a friend or, you know,
boyfriend, husband?

- No.

No, it's just Haley and me.

- OK.
- You have to find her, please.

- We will. We will.

[dramatic music]

* *

.

- You said you spoke
with the mother earlier?

- She was hysterical,
understandably.

- Did you see
who stole her car?

- I am sorry.
I wasn't paying attention

until I heard
the mother screaming.

- Anything you saw
at all would be helpful.

- [sighs]

Once I looked up the street,
I did see a white van.

- A van?
- Yeah, like a rental van.

It was following
the woman's car.

- That's great.
Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Poor Cady.
I can't even imagine.

- You know her name?
- Yeah.

She delivers my breakfast from
96th Street Diner twice a week.

- Did you happen to see
her little girl

or who took the car?

- I didn't even know
she had a daughter.

If I knew there was
a kid in the car,

I never would have
made her wait.

- Wait?
What do you mean?

- I went back inside
to get my wallet.

I wanted to give her a tip.

- Well, if you wanna help us,

we're going to need
your Ring cam footage.

- Sure, no problem.

Just give me a second.

- I mean, I had to work.

I can't just take the day off
'cause my daughter's sick.

I don't have any family
in the area.

I can't afford child care.

- OK, no one's blaming you,
Ms. Greene.

- And we don't want you
to blame yourself.

- [sighs deeply]

Who would take
my little girl?

- Well, like you said,
it is possible that this

was a random car theft.

- Can I ask you why
you left the car running?

- Well, it was cold out.

She was sick.

I left the heat on.

- And the doors were unlocked?

- [sighs] I mean,
it was a nice neighborhood.

She was 20 feet away.

- So there's two possible
scenarios here, right?

The door was unlocked,

so either this was
a crime of opportunity,

or somebody targeted
your daughter.

- Is there anyone in your life
who's close to Haley

that you might suspect
of something like that?

- No, no.

- A relative? A nanny?

A babysitter?

- Like I said,
I can't afford childcare.

- And what about
Haley's father?

- Dylan?

- Is he in the picture?

- Haley only spends about
a weekend a month at his place.

- And why is that?

- He gigs a lot.
He's a musician.

- Are you and Dylan in
any kind of custody dispute?

- No.

Do you think that
he would do this?

- When is the last time
you spoke with Dylan?

- Uh...

it was Valentine's Day.

He took Haley out
for ice cream.

- OK, how about we give him a
call right now on speaker, OK?

- [sighs]

- Hey, what's up?
It's Dylan.

You know what to do.
- What do I do?

- Tell him to call you back.

[voicemail beeps]

- Hey, Dylan, this is Cady.

Can you just call me back
as soon as you get this?

- Uh, Cady, is there anything
that might give you pause

about him spending time
with Haley?

- No, never.

- Hey, any luck tracking down

Haley's birth father,
Dylan Reed?

- No, we haven't been able to
get a ping off his cell phone.

- Seems a little shady,
doesn't it?

- Detectives in Brooklyn
went to his apartment.

Nobody was home.

They left an unmarked on
his block in case he shows.

- And no sign
of Cady's red sedan?

- I'm still pulling up
traffic cam footage.

- Rollins,
anything from intelligence?

- Yeah, we're tracking
Haley's image across

multiple digital footprints.
- What do you think?

Whoever took her
posted a photo?

- We've seen it before.
- Got something.

TARU's been going through
Ring cam footage on the block,

and they have an image
of the driver.

- It looks like a woman.

- Trying to hide her face.

- From the wave, it seems
like she knows Cady.

- We're not just looking
at a carjacking anymore.

- Well, the witness we spoke to
mentioned a white moving van

following Cady's car
up the block

right after the abduction.

- So do we think
it's connected?

- The van driver could have

just been waiting
for traffic to clear.

- Well, whoever's driving
Cady's car is obscured,

so we won't get anything
off facial recognition.

- But we still need
to show it to Cady.

- Yeah.

- You said she waved at Haley?

- Yeah, it seems like
they know each other.

- I have never seen this
woman before in my life.

- Maybe it's a neighbor
or somebody from school.

- Is it possible that
her father had a girlfriend

that he didn't tell you about?

- Look, I know you probably
think that I'm a bad mother,

but I know everyone
in my daughter's life.

- We don't think that
you're a bad mother, Cady.

[knocking at door]

- Captain? Sergeant?

- Excuse us for a minute.

You got a lead?

- Yeah, the unis
found Cady's car.

- Where?

- Near an overpass
on Riverside Drive.

[ominous music]

- Captain Benson?
- Yeah.

- Sergeant Grasso.

- You manage to recover
the plates?

- Notified you guys
as soon as we ran it.

- Who called it in?

- Sanitation guy.

Fire Department responded.

- OK.

Velasco, Silva,
see if he saw anything.

All right, whoever set
this car on fire

didn't just walk away.

So pull all the pole cam
security footage.

All right, open the trunk.

- There's nothing left,
Captain.

- We got to see
for ourselves.

- Look, we're looking
for a little girl.

* *

Well, she's not here.

- Yeah, car burned like this,
if there were a body,

there'd be some remains.

- OK, so whoever took the car
knows NYPD is looking for them.

- So the question is,
what did they do with Haley?

[sighs]

.

- Silva, where are we
on the pole cam footage?

- TARU says that they're
still working on it.

- OK.

I'll put a call in
to the chief.

And what about the sanitation
worker who called in the fire?

- Didn't see anyone matching
the description of the woman

driving the car or Haley.

Unis are still canvassing
Riverside Drive.

- All right,
I sent Curry and Velasco

to the forensic garage.

You know, hopefully,
they get lucky with evidence.

[sighs deeply]

Silva, is there anything else?

- Just thinking.

We haven't been able to reach
Haley's father, Dylan, yet.

- OK. Nothing from the uni

who we posted
outside his building?

- No, the guy seems to be MIA.

- OK, well, head to Brooklyn

and bang
on his neighbors' doors.

Somebody's got
to know something.

- Copy that, Captain.

Tell me about your neighbor
Dylan and his daughter.

- Dylan's cool.

I've met his daughter.

- Do you know
that she's missing?

- What? No.

- Do you think Dylan knows?

- I-I have no idea.

I haven't talked to him.

- His ex, Cady, has been
calling and leaving messages.

He's not answering
or calling her back.

- You don't think
he had something

to do with his daughter
being missing?

- Any reason we should?
- No.

I mean, I don't think so.

I think Dylan's a decent guy.

But I guess you can never
really know people.

- Do you have any idea
where he is right now?

- No.

He travels for work,
always has a gig somewhere.

- When's the last time
you saw him?

- Yesterday morning.

Yeah, he left with his guitar
and got in a van.

- A white van?

- Yeah, I think so.

- OK, just got
pole cam footage--

picked up
that white moving van.

- So the van wasn't just
stuck in traffic behind

a double-parked vehicle?

- No, it was
following Cady's car.

- I can't see the guy's face.

- So it looks like we're
looking for a male-female team.

Find anything
in that scorched vehicle?

- You mean this tin can you
guys towed down from Riverside?

All that's left is the plates.

- So I'm guessing no DNA?

- Blaze like that?
Not a chance.

- How'd the fire start?

- Point of origin was
the front seat.

Looks like someone soaked
the cushion

with nail polish remover.

[whooshes] Lit a match.

- How do you know
the accelerant was

nail polish remover?

- Uni found this tossed in
a sewer grate near the scene.

- Is it possible
it belongs to Cady?

- Either her or the kidnapper.

- See if the lab can
get prints off it.

- We'll ask Cady if it's hers.

- They burned my car?

Where's Haley?

- No, no, she was not in
the car when it was burned.

We've confirmed that.

- We're still investigating,
but we did recover

a bottle
of nail polish remover.

Was that yours?
- No, no.

I don't have time
to do my nails.

- OK. We also got a picture,

an image from a pole cam
near the scene.

So...

you recognize this man?

- No.
No, not at all.

- You said that
Dylan was a musician.

Maybe it was one
of his friends?

- I don't know
any of his bandmates.

- OK.

'Cause we haven't been able
to get a hold of Dylan.

He hasn't called us back.

He hasn't even been
by his apartment.

- OK, is there any place
you can think of

that he may have gone?

You know, maybe he had a gig.

- I wish I knew.

I don't know.

- OK.

How about you call him?

Let's call him right now, OK?

- OK.
- Let's call him again.

- Hey, what's up?
- Mm-mm.

- It's Dylan.
You know what to do.

- God.
[voicemail beeps]

Dylan, hi, it's me again.

Can you please call me back?

It's about Haley.

Call me.

- OK.

- Thanks, Corgan.

Keep me updated.

- Well, I take it
from that look, no leads.

- There's nothing
on social media.

Corgan is looping in
NicMec, the Feds,

checking child pornography
sites.

- Look, it's been a few hours

since we found that car
heading north.

- Well, we know Haley didn't
get on a commercial flight.

So far, there's been nothing
from the alerts

at train and bus stations
in the vicinity.

- Captain, Sergeant.

Dylan Reed, Haley's father,
just showed up.

[tense music]

- Mr. Reed.

- Hey.
What the hell's going on?

I get home, and there's
a cop car at my place.

- Where you been?

- At a recording session.

- For the last 24 hours?

- Yeah, for a weight loss drug.

- Why weren't you answering
your phone?

- No phones allowed.

- Have you talked to Cady?

'Cause she's been calling you.

- I got her messages as soon
as I got out of the studio.

I called her back, got sent
straight to her voicemail.

- Mr. Reed, do you know
where your daughter is?

Because she's missing.

- What are you talking about?

- Cady's car was stolen,
and Haley was in the backseat.

- Oh, my God.

- When is the last time
you spoke with your daughter?

- Um,

Valentine's Day.

I took her for ice cream.

- And you haven't
seen her since?

- I've been on the road.

- OK, so my question to you is,

is there anyone
that you can think of

that may have taken
your daughter?

- What are you talking about?
No.

- Is there anybody
in your life that's shown

a special interest in her?

- Look, I know I'm
not the best dad,

but I would never associate
with someone

who would hurt Haley
or take her.

And I sure as hell
didn't kidnap her.

- OK.

We're still gonna need
to confirm your alibi.

- No problem.

There were ten people
in that session.

- So Dylan Reed,
Haley's father,

is no longer a suspect.

- You confirmed his alibi?

- Yeah, he was in
a recording session

with ten other musicians.

No cell phone access
for the past 24 hours.

- Doesn't have a record.
We ran his financials.

- Yeah, it turns out he's
some kind of trust fund kid.

- So if he did have
money problems,

Daddy would have been able
to bail him out.

- So we're looking at
a stranger abduction?

- Two strangers,
a man and a woman.

- Cady was a delivery person,
right?

I've heard of drivers
getting robbed before.

We sure this wasn't a setup?

- We ruled out the guy
she delivered to.

- What?

- Corgan just got off
with NicMec.

Haley's image popped up on a
site that they were tracking.

- Child porn?
- Something else.

Can you mirror this?
- Yeah. Send the link.

[tense music]

- You look so pretty.

- Ow. Ow!

Ow, that hurts!

Ow!

- I know how much you bad boys
out there like to watch.

Well, watch this.

[electrodes clicking]

Stay still while I put this
around your neck, Missy.

- My name is not Missy!

My name is Haley!
- Not anymore.

You're going to wear this
as long as I tell you to.

- Ow! That's too tight!

Ow!

[crying]

- Here's a little taste
of what happens

if you don't do as I say.

- [screams]

- What are we looking at here?

- Torture.
- Control.

- It's delegated sadism,

a pathology of orchestrating
acts of violence

or torture,
not because the viewers want

to participate physically,
but because they enjoy

the suffering itself.

- Whoever's watching this
is paying for it.

- Yeah, and the money
gives them power

not only over the victim,
but of the aggressor.

- How many of these sites
are out there?

- NicMec says they're
tracking a few dozen

of these content creators--

Wicked Winnie,
Rowdy Rosie, and this one.

- Missy Mayhem.

- So if NicMec knows
about these sites,

why don't they just
shut them down?

- Most of them operate
out of Southeast Asia.

- Well, we know
that's not the case here.

- How long ago did this pop up?

- Two hours after
pole cam footage.

- It seemed like it was
being live streamed.

- Which means that Haley is
less than two hours from us.

[tense music]

* *

.

- Oh, my God.
Where is this?

Where is she?
- We don't know exactly yet.

- But we have confirmation
that Haley is still alive.

- [sighs]

- And Cady, she's within--

she's within two hours
of Manhattan.

- And the kidnappers put this
on the internet why?

- There are people all over
the world who will pay money

to see all kinds of things.

- [sighs]

Child porn?

- No, no, no,
that's not what this is.

That's not what this is.

- Well, then, what is it?

- Right now,
we don't think it's sexual.

- But what we do know is that
there's a woman involved.

- So we heard a woman's voice
on the video.

- So we'd love to play you
this audio, if that's OK.

- Yeah.
- OK.

- Stay still while I put this
around your neck, Missy.

- Who--who's Missy?

- That's not important
right now.

Does this voice--does that
sound familiar to you at all?

- [sighs] No.

No.

- Is there any way of telling
where the video was shot?

- Unfortunately, no.

Whoever's hosting Missy Mayhem
is using a VPN.

- How many people are paying
for this stuff?

- They have a few hundred
subscribers worldwide.

- How long has the site
been active for?

- About two years.

- Two years.

Only one video?

- They must have deleted the
prior videos for some reason.

- OK, we know we can't reach
the content creators,

but what about the subscribers?

- I have a list of a couple
dozen who aren't using VPNs.

- OK.

Please tell me we're picking
them up right now.

- Yeah. Send me that list.

- I have no idea
who that girl is.

I've never seen her before.

- You didn't stream
this video of her

being shocked by a dog collar?

And before you answer,
we already know that you did.

- Am I in trouble?

- You could say that.

She was kidnapped yesterday.

She's still missing.

- I had nothing to do with it.

I just like watching.

- She was in pain.

You get off on that?

- I thought
she was just acting.

- You paid money to watch
a little girl get tortured.

That's facilitating
an assault to a felony

and child endangerment.

- If I were you,

I'd start talking.

- Yeah, I saw that video.
- When?

- Last night,
but just for a few seconds.

- A few seconds?
- It was an accident.

I was scrolling through
a porn aggregator--

adult porn, legal.

- And Missy Mayhem
just popped up?

- We have evidence
that you used

your credit card on this site
multiple times,

which is illegal.

- Yes, before I realized
that she was underage.

I can't have anything
to do with kiddie porn.

I'm a pediatric dentist.

- I only saw her
once this morning.

I shut it right off.

- Mr. Kauffman, we have
evidence that you've been

a subscriber
of the Missy Mayhem site

for the past two years.
- I am.

But that's not Missy Mayhem.

I liked the original
Missy Mayhem better.

- The original Missy Mayhem?

- She was the only girl
on the site.

They deleted all her posts.

- Why?
- I have no idea.

- Is there anything else
that you could tell us

about this other girl?

What she looked like, her age?

- She was a little older.

I'd probably get banned from
the site if they found out,

but I actually screen-recorded
some of her videos.

[tense music]

* *

- That's a good girl.

[clicking]

I'm glad you cleaned up
your room.

You want a snack?
- What is she doing?

- It's called clicker training.

They use it to teach
dogs obedience.

- This is the same
woman's voice.

- I'll be back in a minute
with your treat.

- And this is the original
Missy Mayhem?

- Yeah, one of the pervs
we talked to had

a few dozen
of these videos recorded,

all of the same girl.

- Is there anything
that we know about her?

- Well, NicMec ran
facial recognition.

She's not on any other sites,
and there's no record

of her being reported missing.

- All of these videos
are similar?

- Pretty much.

Different scenarios,
all degrading.

- In one, she was forced
to put a cone around her neck.

- OK, and Haley had
a shock collar on.

Hold on, scroll back.

[audio playing in reverse]

- I'll be back in a minute
with your treat.

[dogs barking in distance]

- Do you hear that?
- Mm.

I was raised on a farm
in Georgia.

That sounds like a pack
of big dogs to me.

- Not to mention all
these similar scenarios.

- Operant conditioning.

- It's dog training.

- You know, there are a lot
of dog breeders upstate.

- OK, so we need to
narrow it down.

Do you think that your people
can identify the breed?

- Based on audio?

- You'd be surprised
by our tech advances.

[phone beeps]

- Hey,
NicMec's been monitoring.

Another video of Haley
just dropped.

- Lie down.

- No, I don't want to.

- It is time for bed.

- But I don't want to.

- I said, get to your bed.

Don't make me put this
collar on you again.

[tense music]

Lie down.

* *

.

- I'll be back in a minute
with your treat.

[dogs barking in distance]

- What are we looking at?
- Nothing good.

- Right now, the sound
of those dogs barking

is the only lead we have
in finding two missing girls.

- Clock is ticking.

Can you do something with this?
- Absolutely.

First step,
put it through Reverb RX.

- What does that do?

- It'll isolate the barking
and remove background noise.

- I'll be back in a minute
with your treat.

[dog barking]

- Yeah.

All right, do you think
there's any way that we can

figure out what breed that is?

- Believe it or not, we have
a program called the BarkID,

which deals mainly
in animal acoustics.

I'm not promising anything,
but if I had to guess,

I'd say we're looking at one
of the popular guard breeds.

- You know what,
call in a behaviorist

from the K9 Unit
if you have to.

- I'll let you know as soon
as I have anything definitive.

- Thank you.

- You have news on Haley?

- Well, I wish we could give
you something more concrete,

but we are following leads.

- What are they?

- So do you recall
any instance recently

where someone with a large dog
may have approached you?

- No, no.

- Do you know anybody
that has big dogs?

- No.

- Were you looking
to buy a dog?

Maybe you went to a pet shop,
or a breeder, or a kennel?

- Why are you
asking me all this?

- We found another video.

- Another video of Haley?

- We believe it's made
by the same people,

but this was of another girl.

- So the people that
made these videos,

they've done this before.

- As far as we can tell,
whoever took Haley

and this other girl,
they seem to own a lot of dogs.

- And what we heard
sounded like a pack of dogs

in the background,
so we're thinking

that they may be dog breeders.

- Well, Haley and I weren't
looking to get a dog.

- OK.

Uh, would you excuse us
just for a minute?

- Yeah.

- Rollins.

We heard back from your guy
at the acoustics lab.

- Yeah?

- He narrowed down the breed
to one of three.

- He seems to think
it's either Rottweilers,

Dobermans, or Cane Corsos.

- Well, how many breeders can
there be in a two-hour radius?

- Well, we have a short list,
most of them upstate.

- Right, so head up there

and talk to all of them.

- Got it.

- Officers, take a look around.

Grey Hills Farm?

Who's listed as the owner?

- Victoria and Gus Grey,

Cane Corso breeders
for 20 years.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, Victoria Grey?

- Uh, yes.

What's this about?

- Forgive us
for not calling ahead.

I'm Captain Curry.

Detectives Velasco and Silva
with Manhattan SVU.

- This is the girl
that's missing?

- Do you recognize her?
- No.

I'm sorry.
- OK.

What about this girl?

- No.

You said this was all
the way down in Manhattan?

- Yeah.

- Why would I know
anything about that?

- We're just following up
on a lead.

- Is this your husband?

- Yes. Gus.

- Where is he now?

- He passed away
a few years back.

- OK.
Thank you for your time.

[dog barking]

- This the girl
that went missing?

- Mm-hmm.
- I saw the story online.

- Well, you happen
to see her in the area?

- No. I'm sorry.

- What about this girl?

[dog barks]

- I haven't seen her either.

- No ring.
You're not married?

- No.

- What about a female employee
or a business partner?

Girlfriend?
- No.

I'm dating a guy.

Why does that matter?

[dogs barking]

- I've never seen this girl.

Have you, Gary?

- Uh, no.
Sorry.

- OK. What about this girl?

- I don't think so.

- Well, maybe she was younger.

- She might have
been with a woman.

- No.

Sorry, I don't recall.

- OK, well, do you guys
ever go to dog shows,

talk to other breeders?
- Oh, yeah.

Sure.

- Gary, she looks--

she looks like the Carwoods'
little girl, don't you think?

- If you say so.

- The Carwoods?

- Rottweiler breeders,
like us, in Ellenville.

We cross paths with them
from time to time.

They brought their daughter
to a show last year.

- You think that's her?

- I only saw her once,
but I could swear, yes.

I think they called
her Ashlynn.

- OK, great.

Thank you.

Yeah, OK.

We'll meet you up there,
Captain.

- Benson and Rollins are
on their way up?

- Yeah.

And in the meantime,
Benson wants us

to liaise with Ellenville PD.

- To get some background
on the Carwoods?

- According to Rollins' intel,

they have a couple
of hundred acres

and half a dozen
registered guns.

- I mean,
we can't just walk in there

without a plan.
- No.

- So that was County Records
in Ellenville.

They confirmed
a birth certificate

for a girl named
Ashlynn Carwood,

born to a Nicole
and Dennis Carwood in 2013.

- OK, well, does Ashlynn have a
cell phone or any social media?

- You mean other
than Missy Mayhem?

No, no online presence at all.

- What's our next step?

- Have Ellenville PD
and the state troopers

meet us near the property.

We have two young girls
potentially in danger.

We're not taking any chances.

[tense music]

- We have state troopers
surrounding the house.

So what do we know
about the Carwoods?

- Dennis and Nicole--
Rottweiler breeders,

no criminal record,
pay their taxes,

no issues
with local authorities.

- We're sure this
is their daughter?

- Yes, but she's not registered
to any of the local schools.

- Well, she could
be homeschooled.

And there's no sign of Haley?

- No, nothing on surveillance.

- Just a bunch
of dogs out back.

- And the Carwoods are
in the house.

- All right.

So Rollins, Curry, and I
are gonna take the house.

You two, go around back.

[tense music]

* *

[dogs barking]

* *

[gunshot bangs]

Go!
- Let's go!

[dramatic music]

- NYPD.
- Stay back!

- All right, easy.
I got this.

Easy.
- Leave us alone!

- I got it.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

- Don't touch me!

- OK.

Let's all just take a breath.

Let's drop your weapon,
Mrs. Carwood.

It's over now.

- It's not over!

- OK, OK, OK, OK.

- Leave me alone!

- I need you to drop
the weapon, OK?

I need you to drop the weapon.

- [groans]
- Let's take a breath.

- [breathing rapidly]

- OK, OK, OK, OK.

Drop it.
Drop it.

There you go.

- [groans]

- We need a bus.

- Tell me where Haley is.

Where is she?

- Captain, we found something.

- [sighs]

[dogs barking]

[tense music]

* *

[door creaks]

[gasps]

* *

Any sign of Ashlynn or Haley?

- No.
We searched the premises.

- Call in the K9 Unit.

[sighs]

[dogs barking]

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Captain!

- What have you got?

- Dog indicated here.

I need a shovel.

- So it's a body?

Human?

- Likely, yes.

* *

- Is that a sleeping bag,
a comforter?

- It's a little girl's.

Have crime techs secure
the scene.

- Copy, Captain.

- Get CSU and the ME
down here.

.

[dogs barking]

- What can you tell us?

- Multiple spiral fractures,
missing teeth.

Looks like broken ribs.

This poor girl suffered
a lot of abuse.

- How old was she?

- Small for her age,
evidence of malnutrition.

According to her growth plates,
I'd estimate about 12.

- Can you ID her?

- We ran a bone fragment
through our rapid DNA machine.

The couple you just arrested?

We swabbed them, got a match.

[somber music]

This girl is
their biological daughter.

* *

- Where is Haley, Mrs. Carwood?

- You and your husband buried

your own daughter
in your backyard?

- Did you kill her, too?

- I want to know
where my husband is.

- He's recovering from surgery
to remove the bullet

that you put in his stomach.

- I'll be representing
Mrs. Carwood.

And my client is
within her rights

not to answer any questions.

- Yes, she is,
but she's looking

at quite a few charges--

kidnapping and murder.

So you might want to advise her
to help herself out.

- I'll decide what I answer,
not you.

- The only question that
I'm interested in

is, where is Haley?

- Where's my wife?

- She's at the police station
right now, being interrogated.

Our ADA says the first
one who flips gets a deal.

- What kind of deal
are we talking?

- Nothing until you
tell us where Haley is.

- Your wife shot you
in the stomach.

- She tried to kill you.

- And you're protecting her?

- My wife loves me.

We talked about it.

If the cops ever showed up,
we'd go out together.

- It's awfully convenient
how she followed through

with shooting you
and not herself.

- We found your daughter in a
shallow grave in the backyard.

- Whose idea was that?

- I didn't kill her.

- So how'd she end up dead?

- She was sick
of being Missy Mayhem.

- So you're saying
she killed herself?

- No.

She and Nicole had
a fight about it.

I wasn't there.

Nicole says she pushed her.

It was an accident.

- You didn't call the police?

- We didn't want to get blamed.

- Our ME says that
Ashlynn was abused.

- Not by me.

- No.

You just like to watch
little girls in pain.

- That's how this whole
site started, right?

[tense music]

* *

- The site was all
my husband's idea.

He's the one
that's into that stuff.

- So you play
into his fantasy?

- Look,
we started raising Rotties

when we first got married.

One day, I was disciplining
one of our dogs

for making a mess
on the carpet.

I shoved the dog's nose in it.

I look across the room, and
I see that Dennis is excited.

- So--

so he liked to watch.

- But you don't.

You'd rather be in control.

- He liked seeing me
discipline the dogs.

- And then

your own child.

- Yeah.

Things changed
when Ashlynn came along.

- All of a sudden,
it wasn't just a dog's nose

you were shoving
into the carpet.

- Until Ashlynn died.

- We had to replace her.

We make money off the site.

- How did you choose Haley?

- She waved at us

when we were stopped
at a light,

and Dennis took that as a sign.

- So this whole
kidnapping thing,

this was Dennis's idea.

- Where is this going?

- Well, let me
spell it out for you.

So there's only one deal,
right?

But there are two perpetrators.

- First one to tell us where
Haley is gets the deal.

- Now, you said
you like to be in control.

I don't think you're gonna
do too well in prison.

* *

[indistinct radio chatter]

- All right, it's Number 2.

Cut it open.

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Haley.
- Haley!

- Haley?

Haley.

Hi.

Listen, I'm Joe.
I'm a police officer.

You're safe.

- Help me. [sobbing]

- You're gonna be OK.

- [crying]

- You're OK.

You're safe.

It's OK.
You're safe.

- Haley, it's OK.

It's OK.

- [crying]

* *

- Mrs. Carwood, on the charge
of kidnapping,

how do you plead?

- Not guilty, Your Honor.

- People on bail?

- Given the severity
of these crimes,

and considering the defendant
is facing additional charges

of child endangerment, assault,
manslaughter in Ulster County,

we believe that
she is a flight risk,

not to mention a danger
to both the community

and the victim's safety.

We request bail
in the amount of 2 million.

- This is Nicole Carwood's
first offense, Your Honor.

She has no criminal record.

- Well, she does now, Mr. Bell.

I'm granting bail
in the amount of 2 million.

Bailiff, next case.

- My client delivered
on her word, Mr. Carisi.

Haley Greene was found
safe and unharmed.

- She was safe,
but she wasn't unharmed.

- Still,
there was a deal mentioned

during my client's
interrogation

with Captain Benson
and Sergeant Rollins.

- Well, I don't know what
I can do for you, Mr. Bell.

We can discuss after
your client posts bail.

Take her.

- Nicole.

Nicole, what's wrong?

Why won't you look at me?

I still love you.

- Mr. Carwood,
on the charge of kidnapping,

how do you plead?

- Not guilty, Your Honor.

- People on bail?

- Again, Your Honor, given
the severity of these crimes

and the flight risk pending
the additional charges

of child endangerment, assault,

and manslaughter
in Ulster County,

we request 2 million.

Your husband pled not guilty.

- I'm sure his lawyer
will come crawling

to you for a deal next.

- You want to talk?

Let's talk.

- What's gonna happen
to my dogs?

- Your Rottweilers?

That's what
you're worried about,

not your husband,
not your murdered daughter?

- I need my babies
to go to good homes.

- They're in the custody of
Ulster County Animal Control.

I'm sure they're being
very well cared for.

- Let's get back to my client.

- Captain Benson offered
me a deal if I cooperated,

and I did.

So I want a deal
for my animals too.

- Ulster County is out
of my jurisdiction.

I can't do anything
for your dogs.

- Let's talk about
the New York charge.

- Your client's looking at

at least 25 years
for the kidnapping.

- Hardly a deal.

We could take our
chances at trial.

- I guess you didn't hear about
the pending federal charges.

Producing and distributing
illegal content,

human trafficking?
- That was all Dennis.

- Nicole.

- I had nothing
to do with that.

- Well, I doubt the feds are
gonna see it that way.

But since you did cooperate,

and we found Haley alive,

I'm willing to talk to them.

- We're willing to change
our plea to guilty

if you can drop
the federal charges.

- Done.

- What about
the manslaughter charge?

I didn't kill my daughter.

- As I said, Ulster County
is not my jurisdiction.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Doctors say she's gonna
be OK, no serious injuries.

- So great to hear.

Well, after everything
she's been through, it's--

it's going to take some time.
- I know.

I just--I want a fresh start.

My parents just retired
to Vermont,

so we're gonna
move in with them.

- Great.

- Thank you so much, both.

I'd better get back to her.
- OK.

Good.

- Dennis and Nicole Carwood
both just made deals--

kidnapping in New York,
assault and manslaughter

in Ulster County.
- How much time?

- Well, Carisi's still
working out the details,

but they're gonna
get 25 to life.

And the subscribers
we rounded up,

they're gonna get
serious time too.

- That's something.
- Yeah.

- It still doesn't answer
my question, though.

How does a parent do
that to their own kid?

[soft dramatic music]

- You've been working this job
longer than I have.

- Yeah. And?

- You still don't know
the answer.

- Hmm.

Let's go home.
