His role came through a client of mine. 28 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,020 How long has Alex been missing? 29 00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:03,860 Oh, gosh, um, almost five hours now. 30 00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:07,780 A case like this, big police presence. 31 00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,600 Well, the detective knows you've been hired on, and parents are throwing 32 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,680 everything they've got at it. 33 00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:12,980 Can you imagine? 34 00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:14,620 Alex is only eight years old. 35 00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:16,980 Yeah, okay, I'll keep you posted. Thanks, Rainey. 36 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,240 Okay. 37 00:02:39,859 --> 00:02:40,638 Sarah Clark? 38 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,100 Thank you for getting here so fast. You want to catch her at this speed? Police 39 00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:49,000 initially thought Alex wandered off and got lost, but it's been over five hours. 40 00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:51,260 Think someone might have taken him? 41 00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:52,820 We have no one else to thank. 42 00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:55,100 My husband, James, that's what he thinks. 43 00:02:55,420 --> 00:02:56,359 Where's James? 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,380 Inside with the lead detective. He's really worked up, and I'm worried he's 45 00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:01,380 going to get in the way of the search. 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,680 Let's see if we can find out. 47 00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:03,980 You have nothing. 48 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,240 How is that acceptable? Five hours and you have absolutely nothing. So don't 49 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,440 tell me to stand down. We are doing everything that we can to get you your 50 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,340 back. Are you? Because it doesn't look like that to me. And the school. 51 00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:19,880 How does this happen? I understand this is a stressful situation, but you have 52 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,760 to let me and my officers do our job. I swear to God, if anything happens to my 53 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,820 kid as a result of your incompetence, I will make sure. He's here. 54 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,660 Hey, finally, someone who might actually do something. Culture Shaw. 55 00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:34,400 Detective Monroe, lead investigator. 56 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,660 The clerk's told me of your possible involvement. 57 00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:38,320 Okay, I know this is a little out of the ordinary. 58 00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:41,740 A child is missing. I'll take any help I can get. It's good to meet you, Shaw. 59 00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:42,739 Thank you. 60 00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:45,440 Considering how long Alex has been missing, maybe he's outside your initial 61 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,400 search grid. I've been saying that. And I just widened it. 62 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,440 We're also in the process of interviewing staff, teachers, patrons, 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,300 through all the security footage. Cameras didn't catch anything. 64 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,600 We have him at the wetlands exhibit, but that was before the fire alarm was 65 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,800 pulled. After that, we lose him. 66 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,240 Unbelievable. 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,339 Not helping. 68 00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:03,340 It's okay. 69 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,340 We've been over this. The surveillance software is old. 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,680 Okay, there were six field trips leaving at once. It's hard to tell one kid from 71 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400 another. All right. How'd the alarm get tripped? Someone pulled it. 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,440 Yeah, it happens more than you think with kids. 73 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,000 You mind if I take a look around? 74 00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:18,519 Please. Thank you. 75 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:20,680 So you see what I've been dealing with. 76 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:24,140 They say they're doing everything they can. They have to do everything by the 77 00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:27,300 book. They wasted the entire morning on a bogus theory. 78 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:31,470 Alex... ran off and got himself lost. One of his teachers would have found him 79 00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:32,790 by now. You talked to his teachers? 80 00:04:33,050 --> 00:04:36,630 I did. Mr. Brooks. He ran back inside the instant that he realized Alex was 81 00:04:36,630 --> 00:04:40,090 missing. So five, ten minutes before he realized, but still. 82 00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:43,990 Is Mr. Brooks still here? No. Police sent him home to clear it away for the 83 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:44,990 search team. 84 00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:46,590 Listen, 85 00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:50,510 I know this is impossible for you to think about right now. Every little 86 00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:51,510 helps. 87 00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:55,450 Can you think of anything, like, personality -wise, any changes in Alex's 88 00:04:55,450 --> 00:04:56,450 behavior recently? 89 00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:00,200 I mean, he's eight, so... I haven't noticed anything unusual. 90 00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:01,840 How about anyone new in his life? 91 00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:03,460 Your lives? 92 00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:06,320 I can't think of anyone. 93 00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:08,320 No. No one. 94 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,520 Who could do this to our baby? 95 00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:11,980 Hey, come here. 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Look, if there's anything you can do, just do it. 97 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,420 I mean, the police are trying to handle us, obviously, but I'm not going to stop 98 00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,420 looking for my kid. 99 00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:22,540 I'm not either. 100 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,040 You have my word. 101 00:05:35,979 --> 00:05:38,100 Okay. So this is the last place your son was seen? 102 00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:41,720 Yeah. And then he went this way, according to the police. Okay. 103 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,460 Please check the staff area. Yeah, I mean, Sidney looked everywhere, but he 104 00:05:57,460 --> 00:05:59,580 can't have gone in there, right? It's locked. 105 00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:00,980 Maybe he's with an employee. 106 00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,360 So the loading dock is right down here. 107 00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:12,000 And what's your job here? I'm the exhibit manager, but I wasn't here this 108 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000 morning. 109 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,680 Who has access to this area? 110 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,300 Anyone who works here. 111 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,680 Has the police searched this area? 112 00:06:36,410 --> 00:06:37,770 No, I don't think so. 113 00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:57,590 That's the school mascot. 114 00:06:57,950 --> 00:07:01,690 The alligators. They give those stickers to kids on field trips. 115 00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:03,970 Maybe Alex was wearing this one or it fell off. 116 00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:05,530 You think Alex was out here? 117 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:08,770 I think maybe he was. The question is why. 118 00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:11,150 Oh, my God. Someone took him. 119 00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:14,330 Somebody who knows where the cameras are. 120 00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:18,690 How to avoid them. Somebody with the employee passcodes. This is a janitorial 121 00:07:18,690 --> 00:07:20,130 area. Who was working here this morning? 122 00:07:21,730 --> 00:07:23,630 Custodian of record is Sylvia Sloan. 123 00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:27,650 She clocked out early right after the fire alarm went off. We need to check 124 00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:28,650 see if she's got a record. 125 00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:29,629 On it. 126 00:07:29,630 --> 00:07:31,690 So you think she took Alex? It's possible. 127 00:07:32,090 --> 00:07:33,090 Okay. 128 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,260 Yep. A couple minor drug charges and a divorce earlier this year. 129 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,040 Court filings say that dad got full custody after he claimed Sylvia had a 130 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,040 psychotic episode. 131 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,320 How old are the kids? 132 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,760 Six and eight. Two boys. 133 00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:49,140 Well, this is the same age as Alex. 134 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,360 Can you send me an address? 135 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:52,380 On its way. 136 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,620 What'd you find out from the detective? 137 00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:00,360 They never questioned Sloan. She's on their list, apparently, but they haven't 138 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,209 gotten around to it. 139 00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:04,210 Okay, I got an address. I'm heading there now. Okay, I'm coming with you. 140 00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:06,150 you're not. No, please. That's not how I work. 141 00:08:06,590 --> 00:08:10,070 Listen, Alex is a sensitive kid. He gets overwhelmed easily. He doesn't like 142 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:12,670 loud noises. I don't know what state he's going to be in, and I really want 143 00:08:12,670 --> 00:08:13,670 be there when you find him. 144 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:18,030 Yeah, yeah, okay. All right. 145 00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,710 You hang back, all right? You let me engage? Understood. I'm good. 146 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:22,510 Let's go. 147 00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:26,550 Hey, you got a sec? 148 00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:28,069 Yeah, what's up? 149 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:29,070 Well, I just need a favor. 150 00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:30,399 It's nothing illegal. 151 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,140 I just needed to look into somebody. 152 00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:33,820 You stalking someone? 153 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Uh, maybe. A little, yeah. 154 00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:37,558 Hell yeah. 155 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,940 Who we got? Ex -boyfriend? 156 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,280 High school queen bee turned MLM recruiter? 157 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,200 Um, what are you talking about here? 158 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:45,560 Mel's stalking somebody. 159 00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:50,320 Oh, look at me. Just doing a boring deposition this morning. Tell me more. 160 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,260 it's actually for you, Rainey. It's for the Prater and Rockwell real estate 161 00:08:53,260 --> 00:08:54,260 case. Ah. 162 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,660 Wait, did Maxine send an email? No, no, I was just combing for potential 163 00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:01,400 witnesses, like chat forums and Yelp reviews, that kind of stuff. 164 00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:05,780 Smart. Did someone turn up? Yes, there's a man named Curtis Lauper. 165 00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,860 He claims that he was fired from Prater and Rockwell because of retaliation for 166 00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:11,960 whistleblowing. That name doesn't ring a bell. 167 00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:15,080 Well, yeah, it's because it wasn't on Maxine's list of potential witnesses, 168 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,980 he worked on site at the Elk Run Canyon Development Project. 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,580 The same project as Simone Arthur. 170 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,140 The witness who died of cancer. 171 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,430 Yeah. So one week after Lauper posted online about unsafe working conditions, 172 00:09:26,490 --> 00:09:29,090 they fired him. Well, he sounds like someone we would want to talk to. Why 173 00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:30,090 wasn't he on the list? 174 00:09:30,190 --> 00:09:34,270 I don't know.
