A YOUNG MOTHER OF TWO VANISHES.

AS A HUSBAND, THAT'S MY WORST NIGHTMARE,

IS MY WIFE OR MY KIDS JUST DON'T COME HOME ONE DAY.

HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS HOPE SHE'LL BE FOUND ALIVE.

MY FAMILY WAS JUST THINKING SHE WAS IN --

IN STRESS SITUATION, DEPRESSION OR SOMETHING.

SHE JUST DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

BUT THERE IS ONE WITNESS

THAT SHOWS POLICE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

ONE OR TWO OR A FEW FRAMES OF A VIDEO

CAN MAKE OR BREAK A CASE.

MARCH 2010, CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA --

DETECTIVE SCOTT MYERS IS CARRYING A HEAVY CASELOAD.

BUT HIS OTHER INVESTIGATIONS

ARE ABOUT TO GO ON THE BACK BURNER.

I WAS WORKING SEVERAL OTHER CASES AT THE TIME,

AND MY BOSS CALLED ME IN AND SAID,

"I GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU,

WE HAVE A MISSING PERSONS CASE."

41-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF 2, SURYA TOHA

HAS BEEN REPORTED MISSING BY HER HUSBAND, MUNAWAR.

ALL I REALLY KNEW WAS

THE COUPLE WAS MARRIED FOR 10 YEARS

AND THAT THEY HAD TWO KIDS AND THE WIFE WENT MISSING.

MYERS' FIRST MOVE IS TO MEET WITH HUSBAND, MUNAWAR.

MR. TOHA, DETECTIVE MYERS.

THIS IS MY PARTNER, DETECTIVE KOENIG.

HE'S FRANTIC AND WORRIED SICK.

MY FIRST MEETING OF MUNAWAR WAS AT HIS RESIDENCE.

...ANYTHING ELSE.

START WITH LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING?

THE FIRST STEP IS TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM

AND REALLY KIND OF GET A OVERVIEW

OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

IS THERE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS?

DO WE SUSPECT FOUL PLAY?

WE WERE HAVING DINNER.

SHE SET THE TABLE,...

HE JUST BURST OUT CRYING.

IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER GOES MISSING

AND THE FAMILY AND THE FRIENDS HAVE NO EXPLANATION.

THE FEAR AND THE FRIGHT IS VISIBLE.

IT'S -- IT'S TANGIBLE.

MUNAWAR AND SURYA MET AND MARRIED

IN INDONESIA 10 YEARS AGO.

MUNAWAR WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT IN PURCHASING.

SURYA RUNS AN ONLINE JEWELRY BUSINESS.

BUT NOW THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

HE EXPLAINED THAT SHE HAD TAKEN THE KIDS TO SCHOOL

AND THEN BASICALLY JUST DISAPPEARED

OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

MUNAWAR IS OVERCOME WITH FEAR.

SURYA IS A DEVOTED WIFE AND MOTHER.

9- YEAR-OLD ALEXANDER AND 5-YEAR-OLD NATHAN

HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR MOM IN OVER 24 HOURS.

I'M GONNA NEED A FEW MORE DETAILS.

DETECTIVES ASK MUNAWAR FOR A TIME LINE

FOR THE DAY SURYA DISAPPEARED, MARCH 23rd.

HE SAYS THAT HE AND SURYA WOKE UP AT 6:30,

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY.

YOU OKAY?

NORMALLY, HE GETS UP AT THAT TIME.

BUT HE WASN'T FEELING WELL.

SO HE STAYED IN BED.

GET YOUR MEDICINE.

MUNAWAR IS SO SICK THAT HE CALLS WORK

AND TELLS THEM HE ISN'T COMING IN.

SHE TOOK THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AROUND 8:00 A.M.

GOTTA GO. COME ON. WE'RE GETTING LATE.

COME ON.

LATER IN THE MORNING,

HE HEARD THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE A COUPLE OF TIMES,

AND HE WASN'T SURE IF HE HEARD VOICES

OR WHAT HE MAYBE HEARD DOWNSTAIRS.

SURYA?

SURYA, IS THAT YOU?

WHO WAS IN THE TOHAS' HOUSE?

IS IT SURYA?

IS SHE WITH ANYONE?

WHEN HE FINALLY GOT OUT OF BED AT AROUND 10:00, SHE WAS GONE.

SWEETHEART, IT'S ME.

MUNAWAR TOLD ME THAT HE TRIED CALLING HER SEVERAL TIMES.

HE CALLED HER CELLPHONE,

AND EACH TIME, IT WENT RIGHT TO VOICEMAIL.

HI, RYAN.

MUNAWAR CAN'T REACH SURYA ON HER CELL.

YEAH, I JUST...

FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS EITHER.

OKAY, WELL, IF YOU DO SEE HER,

PLEASE TELL HER TO CALL ME BACK. THANK YOU.

SURYA USUALLY PICKS UP THE BOYS FROM SCHOOL.

MUNAWAR GOES INSTEAD.

AFTERWARDS, HE TAKES THEM TO HIS FRIENDS',

RICK AND MARY PERNAMA'S, HOUSE.

HE THEN STARTS SEARCHING FOR HIS MISSING WIFE...

...BECOMING MORE AND MORE ANXIOUS

AS THE EVENING WEARS ON.

FINALLY, AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING, HE HEADS HOME.

MUNAWAR TELLS POLICE SOMETHING THAT GETS THEIR ATTENTION.

WELL...

THE DAY BEFORE SURYA WENT MISSING,

SOMEONE WITHDREW $5,000 FROM THE BANK.

$4,000 TO $5,000?

THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY.

WHERE'S THE MONEY NOW, MR. TOHA?

IT'S GONE.

THINGS ARE STARTING TO ADD UP.

FIRST, THE MISSING MONEY,

AND THEN, RIGHT BEFORE SURYA DISAPPEARED,

MUNAWAR HEARD HER TALKING TO SOMEONE.

THING YOU'RE GONNA EXPLORE -- IS THERE --

IS THERE SOME FORM OF, YOU KNOW, TRIANGLE GOING ON?

IS THERE A BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND INVOLVED?

IS THERE A LOVER? IS THERE --

IS THERE AN EX-LOVER?

I BELIEVE THAT MAYBE SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND

AND MAYBE SHE JUST RAN OFF WITH HIM.

I JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.

I DIDN'T HAVE THE CRYSTAL BALL YET TO KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

WORD OF SURYA'S DISAPPEARANCE

SPREADS QUICKLY AMONGST HER FOUR SIBLINGS.

IN SWEDEN, TITI RECEIVES THE ALARMING NEWS

FROM HER SISTER, VIVI.

MY SISTER TOLD ME THERE WAS SOMETHING

HAPPEN IN THE FAMILY REALLY, REALLY SAD.

SURYA WAS GONE, LEFT THE KIDS.

I WAS JUST SHOCKED,

AND THEN I CALLED MUNAWAR IMMEDIATELY.

MUNAWAR, MUNAWAR, PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE HEARD FROM SURYA.

DESPITE THE DISTANCE, TITI AND SURYA

ARE AS CLOSE AS SISTERS CAN BE.

SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE IN THESE FIVE SISTERS.

SO TO ME, I MORE LOOK UP TO HER.

TITI DOESN'T BELIEVE FOR A SECOND

THAT SURYA RAN OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN.

ALL OF MY FAMILY WAS JUST THINKING SHE WAS IN --

IN STRESS SITUATION, DEPRESSION OR SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHAT WE THOUGHT.

I COULDN'T EAT BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING ABOUT HER.

MY MOTHER ALSO CRYING EVERY NIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

IF SURYA WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR,

SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE TOLD HER SISTER ABOUT IT.

BUT MAYBE SHE TOLD HER BEST FRIEND, ADE PNAKOVICH.

I TOLD YOU. SHE'S NOT HERE.

WHEN THE POLICE CAME, I WAS SHOCKED.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE. IT'S JUST LIKE IT'S SO SAD

AND IT'S SO SHOCKED THAT THAT THING HAPPENED.

THEY ASKED, "IS IT POSSIBLE THAT,

S-- SURYA RAN WITH A GUY?"

I JUST DON'T SEE THAT'S A POSSIBLE.

I SAID, "SHE JUST LOVE HER CHILDREN

AND HER HUSBAND.

THAT'S ALL SHE LIVES FOR.

THERE IS NO WAY."

OKAY.

EVERYONE THAT WE SPOKE TO

UNIVERSALLY BELIEVED SURYA WAS A LOVING, CARING MOM,

THAT SHE LIVED FOR HER KIDS,

THAT HER KIDS WERE THE EPICENTER OF HER WORLD.

ALL OF HER FRIENDS SAID IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNCHARACTERISTIC

FOR HER TO LEAVE THAT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.

IF SURYA WOULDN'T ABANDON HER BOYS,

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER?

OUR MISSING PERSON...

DETECTIVES BEGIN AN ALL-OUT SEARCH FOR SURYA TOHA...

...AGE 41.

...STARTING WITH THE LAST PLACE

THEY KNOW SHE VISITED...

...HER SONS' SCHOOL.

AND WHEN THEY GET THERE,

DETECTIVES FIND A WITNESS THEY CAN ALWAYS TRUST.

THE SCHOOL IS RIGGED WITH FIVE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS,

COVERING THE APPROACH ROAD, THE ENTRANCE DOORS

AND THE LOBBY.

ONE OR TWO OR A FEW FRAMES OF A VIDEO

CAN CERTAINLY CHANGE AN INVESTIGATION.

IT CAN GIVE US A LEAD

THAT WE NEVER HAD BEFORE.

WILL ONE OF THOSE CAMERAS

HELP THEM FIND THE MISSING WOMAN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?

41-YEAR-OLD FLORIDA MOM SURYA TOHA IS MISSING.

HER HUSBAND AND TWO YOUNG SONS ARE TERRIFIED.

AND HER SISTER PLANS TO COME TO FLORIDA

TO HELP ANY WAY SHE CAN.

I FELT, LIKE, MORE AND MORE I HAVE TO --

TO GO THERE TO MEET THE POLICE AND TO SEE THE KIDS.

THEY ASKED FOR THEIR MOM EVERY DAY, HUNDREDS TIME.

INVESTIGATORS IN CORAL SPRINGS TRY TO PIECE TOGETHER

WHAT HAPPENED THE DAY SURYA DISAPPEARED.

THEY BELIEVE SHE DROPPED HER TWO BOYS AT SCHOOL

JUST BEFORE 8:15.

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO TELL FOR SURE --

CHECK THE SCHOOL'S FIVE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.

IF SURYA WAS THERE,

SHE'LL SHOW UP ON AT LEAST ONE OF THEM.

CCTV IS A GREAT TOOL.

IT'S A GREAT TOOL

BECAUSE IT'S MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN AN EYEWITNESS.

YOU'RE PRAYING FOR THAT VIDEO.

IS THAT THE CCTV?

DETECTIVES GATHER EVERY LAST TAPE

AND RUSH BACK TO THE STATION.

MYERS FORWARDS THE VIDEO TO JUST BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS.

OKAY. SO SHE'S GETTING OUT OF THE CAR.

AND THERE THEY ARE.

THERE'S BOTH KIDS.

SHE SEEMS PRETTY RELAXED,

DOESN'T SEEM IN DISTRESS OR ANYTHING.

AT 8:11 A.M.,

SURYA AND HER TWO CHILDREN ARRIVE AT SCHOOL.

ALL THREE APPEAR HAPPY.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE START OF A NORMAL SCHOOL DAY.

SURYA TAKES HER SONS INSIDE...

YEAH, SHE SEEMS HAPPY.

...AND THEN COMES BACK OUT, EXCHANGES A FEW WORDS

WITH ANOTHER PARENT...

AND GOES TO HER CAR.

SURYA WAS DUE BACK AT THE SCHOOL AT 10:00 A.M.

THE TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS AT HER KIDS' SCHOOL

ALL THOUGHT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE VOLUNTEERING THAT DAY,

AND THEY BELIEVED THAT SHE WAS GONNA BE

ON HER OLDER SON'S FIELD TRIP.

SO THEY THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE AT SCHOOL THAT DAY.

SURYA?

SURYA, IS THAT YOU?

DETECTIVES ARE PUZZLED.

IT WAS JUST BEFORE 10:00 A.M. THAT MUNAWAR HEARD SURYA

TALKING TO SOMEONE DOWNSTAIRS AT THEIR HOME.

SHE CAN'T BE TWO PLACES AT ONCE.

THEY CUE THE SCHOOL TAPES UP TO 10:00 A.M.

AND SEARCH FOR SURYA.

BUT SHE NEVER RETURNS.

WHERE DID SURYA GO?

WAS SHE BACK AT HER HOUSE?

AND WITH WHO?

WHEREVER SHE IS, SHE HAS TO HAVE DRIVEN.

DETECTIVES' BEST SHOT AT QUICKLY FINDING SURYA

IS TO TRACE HER 2001 SILVER DAEWOO,

LICENSE PLATE 502HUV.

I WAS HOPING THAT SOMEONE COULD FIND HER CAR.

I MET WITH BASICALLY EVERY OFFICER ON PATROL,

AND I ASKED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM

TO SEARCH THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS,

SEARCH THEIR PARKS, LOOK BEHIND THE BUILDINGS,

GO IN THE WOODED AREAS.

EVERYBODY WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO REALLY TRY AND FIND SURYA

AND BRING HER HOME FOR HER BOYS.

SOMEWHERE, SURYA'S CAR

MUST HAVE BEEN CAPTURED ON A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.

I STARTED LOOKING FOR VIDEO FROM THE LOCAL BUSINESSES.

THE SILVER DAEWOO COULD BE CAUGHT

ON ANY ONE OF A MULTITUDE OF CAMERAS.

72 HOURS AFTER LEARNING OF HER SISTER'S DISAPPEARANCE,

TITI ARRIVES FROM SWEDEN.

WE SAT IN THE LIVING ROOM.

AND THEN, HE WAS STARTING TO --

TO TELL ABOUT SURYA WAS MISSING,

AND HE WA-- HE WAS CRYING.

AS THE MINUTES TICK BY,

POLICE MUST CONSIDER ALL POSSIBILITIES.

A SPOUSE GOES MISSING. WELL, THE FIRST THING

YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA LOOK AT IS THE SPOUSE.

DETECTIVE MYERS DOUBLE-CHECKS MUNAWAR'S ACCOUNT

OF THE DAY HIS WIFE VANISHED.

HE STARTS WITH MUNAWAR'S CLAIM

THAT HE PICKED HIS SONS UP AT SCHOOL THAT AFTERNOON.

SURE ENOUGH, MUNAWAR'S SILVER NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK

COMES INTO VIEW AT 12:35 P.M.

AFTER PARKING, HE ENTERS THE SCHOOL.

THE CCTV FROM THE SCHOOL SHOWED MUNAWAR'S TRUCK,

AND IT SHOWED HIM PICKING UP HIS KIDS ON THE DAY

THAT SHE WENT MISSING.

DETECTIVES ALSO QUESTIONED

MUNAWAR'S FRIENDS RICK AND MARY.

THEY EXPLAINED THAT,

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EVENING,

MUNAWAR SHOWED UP AND EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR SURYA,

AND HE WANTED THEIR ASSISTANCE

AND ASKED FOR SOME HELP WITH THE BOYS.

SO FAR, MUNAWAR'S STORY

IS CHECKING OUT IN DETAIL.

POLICE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE

HE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE.

THE SEARCH FOR SURYA TOHA ISN'T GETTING ANYWHERE.

MUNAWAR AND TITI HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE,

HOPING MEDIA ATTENTION WILL HELP FIND SURYA.

PLEASE COME BACK FOR ME, SURYA.

WE MISS YOU. WE LOVE YOU.

SURYA, YOUR CHILDREN IS MISS YOU.

PLEASE COME HOME.

HE WAS VISIBLY SHAKEN AS HE WAS DESPERATELY PLEAING

AND ASKING FOR THE COMMUNITY'S HELP

IN FINDING HER OR THE CAR.

MUNAWAR'S DESPERATE

AND HEARTFELT PLEA GOES OUT ON LOCAL TV STATIONS.

BUT THE INVESTIGATION HEARS FROM THE ONE PERSON

THEY DIDN'T EXPECT TO HEAR FROM -- SURYA.

AND HER MESSAGE WILL SHAKE EVERYONE

IN THIS INVESTIGATION TO THE CORE.

MOTHER OF TWO SURYA TOHA

HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A WEEK.

YOUR CHILDREN IS MISS YOU.

PLEASE COME HOME.

BUT MUNAWAR DISCOVERS SOMETHING

AMONG SURYA'S PERSONAL EFFECTS --

A POSSIBLE SUICIDE LETTER.

THAT STATED THAT SHE WAS RAPED

BY ONE OF HIS CO-WORKERS

AND SHE WAS DEPRESSED AND THAT SHE COULDN'T GO ON.

THE NOTE SAYS SURYA'S ATTACKER

IS A MAN NAMED MALCOLM CLARK,

A CO-WORKER OF MUNAWAR'S.

IT'S SO TERRIBLE WHEN I READ THE LETTER.

IT, LIKE, THIS GUY FROM HIS OFFICE

COMING TO RAPE HER.

SO IN MY IMAGINATION,

SHE MUST BE VERY DEPRESSED AND STRESSED.

IF THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE NOTE WERE TRUE,

WE HAD TWO ISSUES.

THE FIRST WAS THAT SHE WAS MAYBE SUICIDAL AND DEPRESSED.

THE SECOND WAS THAT MAYBE SHE WAS BEING RAPED

AND, UM, WAS ABDUCTED AND KILLED

BY THE RAPIST.

SURYA'S CAR HAS NOT BEEN FOUND.

PERHAPS SHE WAS MURDERED

BEFORE SHE HAD A CHANCE TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

WE TOOK THE INFORMATION ABOUT MUNAWAR'S CO-WORKER

VERY SERIOUSLY.

WE ALL THOUGHT THAT HE WAS NERVOUS.

HE TOLD ME

THAT HE WAS A CO-WORKER OF MUNAWAR'S,

AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT.

RIGHT NOW,

MALCOLM CLARK IS THEIR BEST SUSPECT.

IF HE THOUGHT SURYA WAS ABOUT TO REPORT THE ALLEGED RAPE,

THERE'S NO TELLING HOW FAR HE MIGHT HAVE GONE

TO COVER HIS TRACKS.

WE BEGAN TO FORM DIFFERENT HYPOTHESES,

I GUESS, OF -- OF WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE

WITH HER BODY AND WITH HER CAR.

COLLEAGUES VERIFY THAT CLARK WAS AT WORK.

BUT THERE'S NO ONE TO CONFIRM HIS WHEREABOUTS

AFTER HE PUNCHES OUT.

WHERE MR. CLARK WORKS

IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO WHERE THE TOHAS LIVE

THAT IT ISN'T AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.

DESPITE THEIR SUSPICIONS,

DETECTIVES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE

TO CHARGE CLARK WITH EITHER RAPE

OR SURYA'S DISAPPEARANCE.

THEY HAVE TO LET HIM GO.

IT'S NOW 11 DAYS SINCE SURYA DISAPPEARED.

DETECTIVE MYERS IS NO CLOSER TO FINDING THE MISSING MOM.

STILL NO NEWS, MR. TOHA. I'M SORRY.

NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING CLOSURE FOR THE FAMILY,

BRING CLOSURE FOR MYSELF IS REALLY TOUGH.

I REALLY WAS AFRAID

THAT THIS WOULD BE A MISSING PERSONS CASE

THAT WAS PUT INTO A BOX IN SOME COLD-CASE ROOM.

RADIUS, WE HAVE LAKES HERE AND HERE.

THE CASE BECAME VERY PERSONAL

TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON IT.

I THINK EVERYBODY COULD RELATE TO A FAMILY MISSING ITS MOM,

YOU KNOW, HAVING TWO SMALL KIDS.

MYERS GOES BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

HE STILL BELIEVES THE KEY TO FINDING SURYA

IS TO FIND HER CAR.

WHETHER IT WAS SUICIDE,

WHETHER SHE WAS ABDUCTED AND MURDERED, IT DIDN'T MATTER.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS CLOSE BY.

INVESTIGATORS USED MALCOLM CLARK'S WORKPLACE

AND THE TOHAS' HOME

AS STARTING POINTS FOR THEIR SEARCH.

FIRST THING THAT YOU SEE ON THAT MAP IS CRYSTAL LAKE.

IT'S, LIKE, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING.

AND MY PARTNERS ALL AGREED

THAT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD STARTING PLACE.

CRYSTAL LAKE IS A LARGE, DEEP BODY OF WATER.

AND IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO MALCOLM CLARK'S WORKPLACE.

WE DID A REAL SLOW DRIVE

AROUND THE COMPLEX.

MY INTENT THAT DAY WAS TO LOOK,

TAKE A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THE SHORELINE AND TRY TO FIND

IF THERE'S ANY EVIDENCE OF TIRE TRACKS

OR MARKS OR EVEN, YOU KNOW,

IF THE WATER'S CLEAR ENOUGH TO BE ABLE

TO SEE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE,

HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO SEE A CAR IF IT WAS THERE.

I SAW THAT THE PERIMETER OF THAT LAKE

AROUND THE WAREHOUSE

WAS SURROUNDED BY A 6-FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCE

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE AREA

WHERE THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE WAS SMASHED DOWN.

ONCE I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT A LITTLE CLOSER,

IT LOOKED LIKE A CAR HAD GONE THROUGH THE FENCE THERE.

LOOKING AT IT, I ALSO WASN'T SURE

WHEN THE DAMAGE WAS DONE.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE LANDSCAPERS

OR A TRUCK UNLOADING.

YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW. IT'S A VERY INDUSTRIAL AREA.

IN SUCH A BUILT-UP AREA, THE BOTTOM OF A LAKE

IS A PERFECT PLACE TO CONCEAL A CAR.

THERE WAS, SOME SHRUBBERY

THAT HAD BEEN RECENTLY CHOPPED OFF OF ITS, ROOT.

THERE WAS ALSO ROCKS THAT WERE SHEARED OFF.

IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH SOMETHING A CAR COULD HAVE MADE,

IF YOU WERE DRIVING THE CAR

INTO THE WATER, INTO CRYSTAL LAKE.

IT WAS A LONG SHOT ANYWAYS.

I FELT CERTAIN, IN MY HEAD, AT THAT MOMENT

THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE THERE.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE AT THE SCENE...

...TWO SILENT WITNESSES THAT NEVER LIE

AND NEVER BLINK.

IT SEEMED ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THAT COULD IT --

COULD IT BE THIS EASY?

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA

POINTING RIGHT AT THIS PARTICULAR SPOT.

I FELT LIKE THE VIDEO

WOULD REALLY BE THE KEY TO FIGURING OUT,

WAS THAT HOLE IN THE FENCE RELATED TO THIS CASE,

OR WAS THE HOLE IN THE FENCE JUST,

UM, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

AND HAD BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE?

MEANWHILE, SURYA'S SISTER TITI

AND HUSBAND, MUNAWAR, ARE STRUGGLING TO COPE.

THE TWO BOYS ARE BEWILDERED BY THEIR MOM'S ABSENCE.

I HEARD THE LITTLE ONE SAYING THAT,

"MY MOMMY'S IN MIAMI.

MOMMY IS IN MIAMI."

YES, MOMMY IS JUST IN MIAMI.

MUNAWAR TOLD THAT MOMMY WAS GONE, MAYBE TO MIAMI.

MYERS WASTES NO TIME CUEING UP THE VIDEO

FROM THE LAKESIDE.

YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO HIGH.

YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET.

ACTUALLY SOLVING A CRIME BASED ON SECURITY VIDEO

IS SO RARE

THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY A FALSE HOPE.

THE FIRST IMAGE HE COMES TO

IS FROM 9:00 A.M. THE PREVIOUS DAY,

12 DAYS AFTER SURYA DISAPPEARED.

IT SHOWS THE FENCE AND BUSHES ALREADY DOWN.

AS I'M REWINDING THE VIDEO IN 24-HOUR INCREMENTS,

I'M JUST FULLY FOCUSED ON THE FENCE

AND THE DAMAGED AREA.

MYERS SENDS THE VIDEO BACK 24 HOURS, THEN ANOTHER.

EACH DAY, AT 9:00 A.M., THE HOLE IS THERE

UNTIL 9:00 A.M. THE DAY SURYA DISAPPEARED.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SEE THAT THE FENCE IS WHOLE.

AND I'M LIKE, "WOW, THIS IS LINING UP."

THE FENCE WAS BROKEN ON THE DAY THAT SURYA WENT MISSING.

BY THIS POINT, I WAS REALLY EXCITED.

I REALLY FELT LIKE THIS WAS THAT MISSING PIECE

TO THE PUZZLE.

DETECTIVE MYERS NOW MUST SCRUB THROUGH THE FOOTAGE

TO SEE EXACTLY WHEN THE HOLE GOT PUNCHED IN THE FENCE.

ON THE VIDEO, DAY TURNS TO NIGHT.

IT WAS AGONIZINGLY SLOW.

AND I'M JUST LOOKING AT NIGHTTIME ON THE CAMERA

ON THE MONITOR

AND FRAME BY FRAME,

NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.

AND THEN, I SEE SOME HEADLIGHTS TO A CAR PULL INTO THE SHOT.

AND I'M INTENTLY STARING AT THAT CAR.

AND AS IT PULLS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA,

RIGHT INTO THAT PARKING SPOT,

I'M LIKE, "MY GOD. THAT'S HER CAR."

SURYA TOHA HAS BEEN MISSING FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS,

LEAVING BEHIND AN APPARENT SUICIDE NOTE

BUT NOT HER CAR.

DETECTIVES THINK A BROKEN FENCE MARKS THE SPOT

WHERE PRIME SUSPECT MALCOLM CLARK

MAY HAVE DRIVEN SURYA'S CAR INTO CRYSTAL LAKE.

AND NOW THEY FOUND CCTV OF THE MOMENT

SURYA'S SILVER DAEWOO

PULLS INTO THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE LAKE.

THAT'S SURYA'S DAEWOO,

AND IT MATCHES UP WITH EVERYTHING

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR THE LAST WEEK.

EVERY WAKING MOMENT, I'M -- I'M -- I'M LOOKING FOR THAT CAR.

AND I SEE IT PULL UP IN ALMOST SLOW MOTION

ON THE VIDEO.

AND MY HEART STOPS.

AND I'M LIKE, "MY GOD."

A DRIVER EMERGES,

AND POLICE GET THEIR FIRST LOOK AT THEIR TOP SUSPECT.

WHEN THE DRIVER GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE,

YOU CAN'T TELL WHO IT IS.

BUT YOU CAN TELL, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE,

THAT IT'S A MALE JUST BY THE WAY THEY WALK,

THE WAY THEY -- THEY ACT AND -- AND THEIR PHYSICAL GESTURES.

THE DRIVER WALKS TO THE RIGHT...

...THEN RETURNS TO THE VEHICLE.

THE MYSTERY MAN THEN REMOVES A BICYCLE FROM THE TRUNK

AND PUTS IT TO ONE SIDE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

IS ENOUGH TO SHOCK EVEN THESE VETERAN DETECTIVES.

HE PROCEEDS TO DRIVE THE CAR SLOWLY OVER THE SWALE,

OVER THE HEDGES AND OVER THE FENCE.

AND THE CAR

SLOWLY SINKS INTO THE ABYSS OF THE LAKE.

IT WAS AN EERIE FEELING WATCHING THE CAR JUST DISAPPEAR.

AND HE WATCHES THE CAR FOR A FEW MOMENTS

AND, I THINK,

IS CONTENT WITH THE FACT

THAT THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF VIEW

AND GETS ON HIS BICYCLE AND PEDALS OFF.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHO THIS MAN IS.

BUT WHAT TERRIFIES POLICE IS WHAT THE SCENE MIGHT MEAN.

WHY ELSE DO YOU PUT A CAR IN THE WATER?

I MEAN, THERE -- THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON TO PUT IT THERE.

YOU'RE EITHER HIDING THE CAR OR WHAT'S IN THE CAR.

AFTER RECOVERING THE VIDEO,

I REQUESTED SOME ASSISTANCE FROM OUR DIVE TEAM

TO START SEARCHING FOR THE CAR.

POLICE DIVERS RUSH TO THE SCENE...

...AND SCOUR THE BOTTOM OF CRYSTAL LAKE.

THEY DON'T NEED LONG.

PRETTY QUICKLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND THE CAR.

AND THEN, THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME THE LICENSE PLATE.

THE LICENSE PLATE CONFIRMS IT'S SURYA'S CAR.

THE SPOT HAS BECOME A MASSIVE CRIME SCENE.

FIRST, THE 3,000-POUND VEHICLE

MUST BE RETRIEVED SO POLICE CAN SEARCH IT.

ONCE THE CAR WAS REMOVED FROM THE WATER,

THEY FOUND A BODY WRAPPED UP

IN TRASH BAGS INSIDE THE CAR.

POLICE HAVE FINALLY AND TRAGICALLY FOUND SURYA TOHA.

AND THIS WAS NO SUICIDE.

THE RECOVERY OF THE BODY

TRANSITIONED FROM THE MISSING PERSONS CASE

INTO A REALLY SOLID HOMICIDE CASE.

AND NOW THE SEARCH IS ON

FOR A KILLER CAUGHT ON TAPE.

A MISSING PERSONS CASE IS NOW A MURDER INVESTIGATION.

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO HAS CAPTURED THE MOMENT

SURYA TOHA'S CAR AND BODY

WERE DUMPED INTO CRYSTAL LAKE.

NOW, POLICE HAVE TO DETERMINE

IF THEIR ONLY SUSPECT, MALCOLM CLARK,

IS THE MAN IN THE VIDEO.

WE SPENT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME

ANALYZING EVERY ANGLE,

EVERY USEFUL FRAME THAT WE GOT FROM THAT VIDEO.

WE HAVE THE SUSPECT RIGHT THERE, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE HIM.

THAT GRAINY FOOTAGE, YOU CAN'T SEE WHO DID IT.

EVERYBODY WATCHES TELEVISION SHOWS,

AND THEY ALL SEE "CSI" AND "24" AND ALL THESE SHOWS

WHERE THEY CAN ZOOM IN CAMERAS AND CHANGE CAMERAS

AND GET THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES OFF OF THE CAMERA.

AND THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY IT IS IN THE REAL WORLD.

I DON'T THINK WE COULD IDENTIFY,

BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT,

WHO THE DRIVER WAS JUST BASED ON THE VIDEO.

BUT THEY CAN TELL WHO IT ISN'T.

IT ISN'T THEIR PRIME SUSPECT, MALCOLM CLARK,

ACCUSED OF RAPE BY THE VICTIM'S OWN SUICIDE NOTE.

YOU COULD TELL SIZE AND SHAPE.

AND THE PERSON WHO'S ALLEGED TO HAVE DONE THIS HORRIBLE THING

IN THE NOTE THAT'S WRITTEN

DID NOT MATCH UP TO THAT SIZE AND SHAPE.

MUNAWAR'S CO-WORKER MALCOLM CLARK IS INNOCENT.

THEN WHO IS THIS KILLER CAUGHT ON TAPE?

NOTHING ELSE.

TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,

DETECTIVES TURN BACK TO THEIR BEST WITNESS,

THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.

AFTER THE CAR GOES INTO THE LAKE,

THERE IS STILL HOURS OF FOOTAGE ON THE VIDEOTAPE.

AND MYERS WATCHES EVERY SECOND OF IT.

FINALLY, HE SEES SOMETHING.

AT 11:11 P.M.,

JUST 9 MINUTES AFTER THE UNIDENTIFIED MALE

RIDES OFF ON HIS BIKE,

A SILVER NISSAN PICKUP PULLS INTO FRAME,

TURNS AROUND AND QUICKLY DRIVES OFF...

...A SILVER PICKUP

JUST LIKE THE ONE MUNAWAR TOHA OWNS.

AND POLICE DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE.

MYERS PLAYS THE VIDEO AGAIN.

AND THAT'S WHEN HE SPOTS IT.

THERE'S A BICYCLE IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

EVERYTHING JUST CAME INTO FOCUS IN MY HEAD,

AND, IT WAS VERY CLEAR

WHEN I SAW THE TRUCK

AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.

AND IT JUST MADE PERFECT SENSE.

AT THAT POINT, I KNEW THAT I HAD MY MURDERER,

AND I HAD MY MURDER ON CAMERA.

IT APPEARS THAT, JUST MINUTES

AFTER DRIVING HIS WIFE'S CAR INTO THE LAKE

AND RIDING OFF ON A BIKE,

THAT MUNAWAR TOHA HAS RETURNED TO THE CRIME SCENE,

PERHAPS TO DOUBLE-CHECK THE CAR HAS SUNK.

I WAS ELATED,

AND I WAS ALSO DISGUSTED

BECAUSE THIS MAN HAD LOOKED ME IN THE EYE

AND SWORN UP AND DOWN

THAT HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE HIS WIFE WAS.

SURYA, YOUR CHILDREN IS MISS YOU.

PLEASE COME HOME.

HE'S NOT OUR SUSPECT ANYMORE.

HE'S -- HE'S OUR DEFENDANT.

HE'S -- WE'RE GOING TO ARREST HIM.

BUT THEY HAVE TO MOVE FAST.

WE HAD SPOKEN WITH SURYA'S SISTER,

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE MENTIONED WAS

HE WAS WORKING ON GETTING PASSPORTS

FOR HIS CHILDREN,

AND HE WAS GETTING LUGGAGE READY FOR A POSSIBLE DEPARTURE.

HE ROLLED DOWN HIS WINDOW,

AND I TOLD HIM THAT WE HAD SOME INFORMATION

ABOUT HIS MISSING WIFE

AND THAT I'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH HIM.

HIS REACTION NOW IS DEJECTION.

HE'S JUST PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN

'CAUSE HE KNOWS HE'S BEEN FOUND.

I WAS JUST CRYING ON THAT TIME

AND THEN TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT I HATE HIM.

I HATE HIM.

I HATE YOU! I HOPE YOU PAY!

I HATE YOU!

WE DID A VERY THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

AND RECOVERED BLOOD, DROPLETS

IN THE HOUSE IN THE KITCHEN AREA,

WHERE WE BELIEVE THE ACTUAL MURDER TOOK PLACE.

WHICH HELPS POLICE UNDERSTAND

WHAT THEY THINK REALLY HAPPENED THAT DAY.

WHAT WE BELIEVE ENDED UP HAPPENING

IS SURYA COMING HOME PROBABLY AROUND LUNCHTIME

AS THAT'S WHEN HER CELLPHONE STOPPED RECEIVING CALLS.

SOMETIME THAT MORNING, SHE WRITES THE SUICIDE NOTE.

BUT POLICE THINK THAT WAS PART OF THE PLOT.

I THINK SHE WROTE IT, BUT I THINK SHE WAS FORCED TO.

AND I THINK SHE WAS FORCED TO WITHDRAW THAT MONEY

FROM THE BANK.

HAVING FABRICATED EVIDENCE

TO EXPLAIN SURYA'S DISAPPEARANCE,

TOHA EXECUTES HIS PLAN.

SHE PROBABLY GOT INTO SOME SORT OF ALTERCATION

WITH HER HUSBAND

THAT LED TO A PHYSICAL FIGHT IN THE KITCHEN,

WHERE SHE WAS STRUCK WITH A OBJECT LIKE A PIPE

AND ENDED UP DYING SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE.

AT SOME POINT, SHE WAS WRAPPED IN GARBAGE BAGS

AND PUT IN THE -- IN THE CAR.

TOHA INSISTS HE'S INNOCENT

AND WOULD NEVER KILL A LOVED ONE.

BUT WHAT HE DOES FROM JAIL PUTS THE LIE TO THAT.

WHILE HE WAS IN JAIL WAITING FOR THE TRIAL, UM,

HE REACHED OUT TO WHAT HE THOUGHT

WAS A PERSON ON THE OUTSIDE

WHO COULD KILL A COUPLE OF THE WITNESSES.

AMONG THE TARGETS FOR THE HIT --

RICK AND MARY PERNAMA

AND SURYA'S FRIEND ADE.

THE PERSON THAT HE REACHED OUT TO

WAS AN UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER.

AND HE, HE TRIED TO HIRE THAT POLICE OFFICER

TO KILL THESE WITNESSES.

THE PERNAMAS HAVE CHILDREN,

BUT TOHA'S NOT WORRIED

ABOUT THEM BEING CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE.

THE DETECTIVE SAYS THEN, "WELL, THEY HAVE KIDS.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE KIDS ARE THERE?"

AND MUNAWAR TOHA SAYS,

"WELL, DUMP 'EM OFF AT A FIRE STATION, THEN."

MUNAWAR TOHA HAS A CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE TO HUMAN LIFE

AND DOESN'T CARE

ABOUT HOW THAT'S GONNA AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE.

HE DIDN'T CARE THAT HIS KIDS WERE GONNA BE WITHOUT A MOTHER.

HE'S JUST EVIL.

ON OCTOBER 22, 2014,

A JURY IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA,

FINDS MUNAWAR TOHA GUILTY OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER

AND FOUR COUNTS OF SOLICITATION TO COMMIT MURDER.

HE IS SENTENCED TO LIFE BEHIND BARS.

THE STAR WITNESS -- SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS CASE

COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITHOUT THE CCTV.

WITHOUT THE VIDEO, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE

THAT ANYBODY GOES IN THAT WATER,

THAT THERE'S ANY GUARANTEE

THAT ANYBODY IS ABLE TO EVEN FIND THE CAR.

I WOULD LIKE SURYA TO BE REMEMBERED

AS A VERY KIND PERSON.

THIS IS VERY HARD BECAUSE IT'S --

SHE LOVED THE KIDS VERY MUCH.

SO I -- I JUST WANT PEOPLE REMEMBER

THAT SHE REALLY LOVES THE KIDS

AND SHE WOULD NEVER, EVER LEAVE THE KIDS EVER IN HER LIFE.

AFTER MUNAWAR'S ARREST, TITI IMMEDIATELY

APPLIES FOR CUSTODY OF THE TWO BOYS,

AND THEY NOW LIVE WITH HER IN SWEDEN.
