I'm Deputy Chief Emily Johnson

LAPD prior to Homicide Division

do you speak English do you understand what I'm saying

we found a little girl in the LA River this afternoon

whom we believed to be your daughter

she's wearing the same clothes no big warrior

not my mom

based on the level of decompaniment

of time she's been in the water

I guess she's been dead between 46 and 52 hours

so we're talking between 2 and eight PM on Monday

I'm gonna start with the rape kid

why don't you stand over there

and I can tell you everything I see

you'll know everything I know I'm supposed to watch

alright

okay then

I see a lot of tearing

you've been uh

waiting out here the whole time

nowhere to go

did you have dinner at least kidding

Costa

oh blunt force trauma to the head

the blow was so strong that it broke her neck

the lungs were empty

so she died before she hit the wall

and that bruise you asked about on a cheek

that happened after death

there was evidence of sexual assault

a lot of ripping a lot of tearing

well she was a virgin

you can read the report

DNA

the LA River contaminated her body

I scraped her nails I combed her hair

but there was nothing

I'll rush the rape kit but I'll hold my breath

are you feeling better

no thanks for asking

is there anything else I should know

there was no evidence of torture

no evidence of her being beaten or bow

whatever happened to her she didn't hurt for very long

I just got here we're about to interview the family

wow it's a nice place

yeah I'll keep you posted

well kids by definition can be very resilient

Morda would come directly home

after she got out of her studies

thank you

look

just so you know we

we pay her on the books

and that they've always gotten health insurance too

did you notice anyone unusual around the house recently

I don't know average height

um 30s

maybe could I borrow you for a couple of hours

to look at some faces yeah

yeah sure great of course

this is your zip code

and these are the sex offenders who live there

talk about know thy neighbour

thanks to this website for tracking down sex offenders

we were able to narrow down our search somewhat

first by the description you gave us

and by the type of offence

some of these guys are into boys

some into much younger girls

that leaves us with 13 people

wait that guy who's he

alright see you later

looking for a Wayne Mathers

you sir I saw you

you

I'm not leaving sir

I'm wearing mathers

this is my mother Vera

we're here about Marta Alvarez

of course you are

this is the fourth time in two months

you people come to my house question my son

take a lot of pictures I'm a photographer

am I under arrest why can't you just leave us alone

mother stay out of this please

am I under arrest mind showing us your photographs

Wayne

you're gonna take them from me

aren't you

or you can bring them downtown

have a little chat with us

can I change my shirt before we go

yes you can

you people you people

you sergeant Gabriel

would you please go out the back

make sure you didn't go out the window

yes ma'am thank you

ma'am were you here last Monday

between the hours of 2 and 8 p m

Wayne shut up

shut up Wayne

what are you doing Wayne

what's going on get away

what's going on in there I'm gonna open the door

I'm opening the door wait wait

oh my God oh my God

I need two units my location code

three shots fired I repeat

shots fired send paramedics oh my god

we can't develop Wayne

Manager's photographs in the usual way

because s I d

wants to examine the film canisters for prints and DNA

before they're opened and

it's going to take at least two days to get a

work up on the van

but we have this computer and I want that broken down

and I wanna find out how Marty got into the LA River

to begin excuse me Chief

he has the temper Vinza we do good work here

but you know

we hardly ever get confessions out of dead guys

even when we slap them around a few times

so uh

so what's the point we found Marta

but at the present time

there are 257 other 12 to 13 year old

missing Latina girls in this city

257 that we know of could be 1,000 2000

Sergeant Gabriel's right man

legals don't exist in this country

which makes an ideal target for child molesters

anyhow I wanna know

if Marta was the only one that Wayne managed to find

what

well it's just

you know

Daniel's is away at the Homeland Security seminar

and you sent lieutenant Flynn back to robbery homicide

we're a little short staffed

yes we're working lots

but there are questions that need answering

before we close up shop so if you would

sergeant Gabriel

get a crew together and dig up Wayne's backyard

make sure that there's nothing and no one buried there

check under the house too and the garage

I wanna find out how she got that bruise on her cheek

lieutenant Provinza

if you could go to Trinity and talk to her teachers

find out who her friends were

let's see if we can figure out when and where

Wayne grabbed her remembering

the choice of victim in this kind of crime

is usually based on availability

lieutenant Tail Wayne's computer and Detective Sanchez

he could run these photos by Mars family

thank you very much

look um

I don't like this kind of investigation anymore

in the rest of you

but I wanna go to sleep at night

knowing that we buried the killer and not his crimes

thank you

I'm trying to find out how the man who did that

to Marta chose her

recognize any of these gentlemen around your apartment

on the Philip's house

may have just seen them in passing

he had a camera he often took pictures

I'm honored

that's my fault

how how's your fault

Carmen lost her husband

we come from a very poor family

she was desperate

the Philips were looking for a new maid fast

so I talk intercom fast

how did you manage that

how did you get them off the border

a coyote of what coyote

professional guide

someone who sneaks people into America from Mexico

professional guide

how much does he charge

26 dollar per person gosh

that's a lot yes that's too much

who paid for them Carmen and Marta

I I did

I pay so the Philips needed a new maid

and at that moment

you just happen to have $5,000 in your pocket

yes yes

I paid you know what Alejandro I don't believe you

I want a lawyer you want a lawyer

yes yes sir

I don't get a lawyer

are you running a little agency on the side

selling your relatives to Familia

to needy angles alright

Detective Sanchez sit down

sit down that's enough

a man took advantage of Marty's age

and her illegal status

he raped her murdered her

and threw her in the LA River

just like a piece of garbage

and I wanna know how he did it

if you know anything that can help me

how deeply appreciated

Victor Sanchez

detective sent you

I worry about your temper

I wanna talk to him not scare him away

okay

but find out what you can about Alejandro

you tell for him when we know more

okay thank you very much

special delivery is this escape hash

I ordered nothing from Martyr's school

or from the creep's computer

or his backyard or his garage

so what's the special delivery

the creep's mama waiting for you in your office

I've got one hell of a lawsuit against the LAPD ma'am

there's no smoking in my office

I want my son's photos so I have to have a seat ma'am

I want my son photos did you ever see any of them

did he ever bring any of his models home

my son didn't like taking pictures of human beings

he like taking pictures of parks

gardens stuff like that

you treated him like he was a terrorist

we have to monitor sex offenders

he was not a sex offender

he was a drug okay

like all artistic types and if you drink

and you probably should

you've gotta pee

so once maybe twice

he passed out in the park in front

of little kids with his pants down that was it

did you ever see this little girl

in any of your son's photos

Wayne would never hurt a kid

and why are you so upset about this kid anyway

this whipback who's living here off of my tax dollar

and my son he was an American

and this little speck is more important to you than my

Wayne was you hounded an innocent man to death

my little boy mine

ah

ah

no I'm not at the house on Monday afternoons

I go to Whole Foods with Mrs

Phillips after she come home from Georgia every Monday

and is anyone else at the Phillips house

is Alejandro working in the yard

no Alejandro

he worked twice a week

Tuesday on Fridays

so who else knows what you do on Monday

besides the Phillips family in Alejandro

no one

I I think you're safer than Mexico is better for Martha

now I go home to bury her

it's Alejandro here today to help you

not Miss Phillips she help

she give me the money they come for a funeral uh

look

see

Miss Philippe she helped Merta get into a school

and Merta

she's so good at school

my baby she's so smart and she tries so hard

where did you get this paper

at 1/2 loss of Missus Phillips

Matt always leave her bag there after school Mrs

Philly she bring it to me when she bring all the food

this hand there is dated the day that Marty disappeared

Carmen can I have the notebook please and

and the backpack

I promise I'll get them back to you

thank you

thank you

this backpack made it all the way to the Philips house

and Marty did too

I think you might need to call Leslie Phillips

and tell her her house might be a crime scene

I want you to call s I d

and tell them I want Wayne Matters photographs

and I want them now

so listen to this some guy in London

he assigned monetary values to happiness

getting married he says

is the equivalent of a hundred thousand dollar bonus

photos we develop from our favorite pedophiles house

you wanna attach a monetary value

for sorting through this

God no

you think

that horrible man came into my home and took Marta

that he attacked her in my house

oh my God my God

can we look around do you mind

do you sound this consent for

anything you need

hello

well consider your consent revoked

let's go

pardon me

Marty disappeared around 3:30 on Monday

right with

the time date stamp on these azaleas

is between 3 and 6 on the same day

so that raises a question

well yeah yeah

how can this freak be innocent

uh no

your honor I need a warrant for the garage

the attic alright

then put a warrant out on Alejandro Alvarez

Gabriel here no

your honor I'm sorry

let me be more specific

I want nothing less than a telephonic warrant

for the house the cars

the grounds

and any other property this family might possess

in the known universe

yes I'll hope

Lieutenant Preventa needs to speak with you

right now here

lieutenant Preventa yes

you're kidding

oh my God

are the cameras there

uh huh uh

tell lieutenant Tao to check

and see if the time and date stamps been manipulated

okay thank you

yes no

I'm still I'm still on hold

yes no I'm right here

yes your honor

thank you your honor yes thank you so much

I've been talking to my family

I wanna do the right thing

I'm no longer interested in what you want

I've got a warrant to search your house

is there any place that you and I can go to talk alone

we go downtown okay that's fine

you gonna be here when I get back

I won't spend one more minute

unless there is explanation for all of this

I don't wanna hear this I don't wanna hear it

Hart we're going to my mother's

oh man

you're gonna have to get a ride because these cars

stay here until we look through

Mina's home come on Austin

Detective Sanchez Sergeant Gabriel

if there's anything

even remotely interesting in this house

I want it in the murder room Mr Phillips

let's go to work

where is Mr Philip's attorney

Mr Banks keeps calling to say that he's close banks

oh god

and he's been closed for the last hour and 48 minutes

this is the Chief Pope Deputy Chief Johnson

sorry about the traffic even

I don't

take two hours to get from Century City to downtown

nice to see you again too

Miss Johnson shall we

yes sir we shall

I'm just a little bit concerned about

my how my wife is gonna take this

I mean I know you might not understand this but I am

I love her okay very much

and I just want to know if there's any kind of

way that you and I could negotiate

at all how the story comes out if

if if that's at all possible

what has this first start

if we find anything in your house

which we are searching right now

that's all that proves you committed this murder

and we do that before you tell me what happened

the da will charge you with murder in the first

and I won't need to hear anything you have to say

so the longer you stall

the closer you get to a lethal injection

how's that for a deal

we were sort of having an affair

more than I alright

don't alright

I didn't need to say this okay I

I I

I lost my head for a couple of months

I'm sorry

we've had young girls in the house before

I mean Boston's friends

hot housekeepers has never been a problem before really

your last housekeeper got pregnant

where is she now

okay uh

I paid Alejandro to take her back to Mexico

and I paid him to bring Carmen and Marta over

so you've been paying Alejandro to bring young girls

back and forth across the border

no no

no no

it's no

it's just these two times and Marta was

it's a special girl

smart and very mature I've seen the photograph

she looks a lot older than 13

exactly no exactly

I know that I know technically

it can't be considered a consensual relationship

I know that but she wanted me and I wanted to say it

get it over with they always want to explain for

for this kind of thing

and when was the first time you had sex

was uh

last Monday

afterwards she said that she loved me

when I didn't reciprocate or say anything back to her

she got really upset

she uh

I went to I went to hold her but she pulled away and

she slipped on the steps listen

this entire thing was just a complete accident okay

so why don't you call an ambulance to the police

I panicked

alright I wasn't thinking clearly

she was just completely still

she was just she was limp

so I

put her in my car

took her to the LA River

and I figured she would just float away

you know how to see

the autopsy report says

she regained consciousness when she hit the water

yeah

she started screaming

I was surprised

but I had rolled her in from way up on the bank

I I couldn't get down to her before she drowned

and it was awful

Mr banks if I found out that you have knownly

participated in delaying this interview

what the hell was that all about

thank you

alert the da they're sending somebody right over

well

you can unlear them because Marta Alvarez didn't drown

she was dead when she hit the water

is this about the Alejandro guy

she's not covering for a gardener

yes sergeant Gabriel

how long ago did this leave

stop what you're doing

bring the boy's car downtown and find me

Austin Phillips he kept us all sitting here

so he could let his son escape

Leslie Phillips bought her neighbor's vehicle

and used her credit card to rent a card

lax spread the numbers on those plates around the globe

and 37 minutes ago

she checked her home phone from a 6 1 9 area code

San Diego any guests for their head

Seaworld

lieutenant tail can you call border

I'm calling Border Patrol right now chief

yes we got some stuff here

you are gonna wanna take a look at alright

let's do it in the office

the kid went online after killing the girl

and checked out the county sex offender website himself

yeah Wayne

man has picked up before we even ride on the scene

oh good grief

plus plus we got this out of the back of Austin's car

this end here

seems to match up perfectly

we got s I d work in the trunk right now

thank you gentlemen

damn it

I've never risked an attorney before

but you'll be my first nothing to do with this

I only took my time because heart told me

needed a couple hours to compose himself

you mean compose one hell of a false confession

you better convince Austin to come home

Mr Phillips you and I gonna have big problems

given my son's age

given the special circumstance of rape

the da is gonna move to try him as an adult

you know that's true

he'll spend the rest of his life in jail without Parole

Mexico won't exertite Austin

unless you agree to try him as a minor period

you can't touch him now

congratulations Mr Phillips

you've taken exporting Mexico to home

oh come on

my son made a terrible mistake

but he is a juvenile

if the da will recognize that

I'll see what that he returns and

and serves the maximum

and walks out of detention when he's 25

I don't think anyone's gonna agree to that

well I'm sorry

Miss Johnson those are my terms

if I were you Mr Phillips

I would

stop worrying about what we might do to your son

and spend a little time considering

what I'm gonna do to you

Leslie Phillips used her credit card to check

into a resort in Ensenada

you've got friend in low places

you mind talking to the Mexican federally

see if they'll hold them there so I can talk to Austin

Mexico will not extradate a minor

to face a life sentence

I'm planning on having discussion with him

about coming back to America

Brent eliciting confessions is one thing

convincing a 17 year old to leave the beach

for life in prison I think is another

maybe I have more faith in my abilities than you do

well I guess nobody can blame me for trying

uh the federalis can be a bit fickle with the LAPD

these might come in handy if they uh

decide to stop being cooperative

well thank you

they have a better record with the FBI

uh well

I guess you won't be needing an escort then

no thanks

I have one

thank you

hmm

where's my lawyer never been to Mexico before

kinda cozy where is my lawyer

you're not in the United States anymore

so you don't have the right to lawyer

and you don't have the right to remain silent

Austin Phillips Special Agent Fritz Harrod of the FBI

charmed

you can't arrest me here

now why would I wanna arrest you

your father already confessed to the murder

saved us the aggravation of a trial too

so he'll probably be spared the death penalty

I I just want you to know that

it's okay for you to come home

nice try mom spoke to Mr Banks

we know what's going on

you can't trick me into anything okay

I'm not an idiot well

then how about a little try

you come back to the States

and I won't extract your mother

but mom when we leave the room

I'm gonna file this warrant with the Mexican government

against your mother

for aiding and abetting the flight of a criminal

across international borders

and she'll have to serve a little time in Mexico

but if she survives that

she'll go on to spend about 15 years in American prison

and then there's your father

what about him well

he made a false confession

and he helped plan your escape with your mother

which makes him an accessory after the fact

of the rape and murder of Marta Alvarez

with an obstruction of justice charge thrown in

just to make sure that

he never sees another day of freedom

in his life

or you can come home with me

you go to hell hey sit down

Mexico won't be much fun without allowance

what are you gonna do

without your parents around to give you

checks and cash there's plenty of money

actually there isn't

we've already frozen your family's assets

just try to use an ATM no cash

no parents no hotel

you know there's a significant difference

between visiting the beach and living on one

you listen to me

I'm not leaving okay

I'm not leaving do you get that

I'm not leaving whatever you say

whatever you do it doesn't matter

there's nothing you can do to make me change my mind

alright then stay little bastard

alright look

um

I have to close this case

you tell me the truth about what happened

and I'll let your parents go free Brenda

you can't do that I can't

the FBI might have a problem with that

we will not bring charges

and your warrant depends upon ours

Brenda

think about what you're doing

please read son

this is a mistake

you tell me the truth about what happened

you can stay here and your parents go free

and you unfreeze the assets

yes I'll unfreeze their assets

but I wanna hear the truth

I wanna hear

are you into little girls

no no I

I messed around with our last housekeeper

and she was 19 Marta was into me

she was always coming into my room

sitting on my bed watching me

giggling

you know how they are

and then last week

she told me she wanted to be my girlfriend

did you want to be your boyfriend no

but you know she was hot

and so I explained to her

what it would take to be my girlfriend

and how she could do it

she was excited about it okay

she was looking forward to

and I thought I have a little experience

a lot of guys don't you know

but you ended up hurting her

I guess

she said she wanted to stop but

but what

but I told her that this is what it meant

to be my girlfriend and

and she couldn't go back now

because she'd already agreed to it

and you know

she couldn't

and I even tried to talk her all the way through it

I tried to help her but then we got all done

she got all weird weird how

all quiet and stuff but we had to move it

we were in my father's study

my mom would be home soon

and then she started to cry

so I held her and she pushed me away

so I told her she had to go

she had to put her panties back on and go

and then she she tried to run

and she said that she was gonna tell everyone and

and

you know I what

she fell

you pushed her no

no no

I didn't

we were we

we were struggling I was trying to get her downstairs

it was an accident

but it wasn't an accident that you went online

to find a list of sex offenders

to find a pedophile you could blame

it's not an accident that Wayne Mathers is now dead

because he couldn't take being falsely accused

one more time and

it's no accident

that you dumped Marty's body in the LA River

and it's no accident that we found her DNA

in the trunk of your car

all of which I have evidence to prove

great good for you

now you can leave and now you can stay

my

Spanish is

not as good as your English

but I believe that

that is a birth certificate for Marta Alvarez

am I right see

Seneta Carmen gave it to me

it shows that Marta was born in Mexico

just your bad luck I guess

that you saw sanctuary in the country of your victim

because you see these gentlemen

they just don't teach you kindly to their citizens

being murdered no matter where in the world it happened

and since you killed a Mexican nation

and you won't come home with me

you can try here for your crime

and spend the next 40 years in a Mexican prison

gentlemen mom

mom mom

help me mom

mom help mom

stop stop

oh stop

I'll go with her I'll go with you

take me with you it's too late Austin

we already agreed to everything

help me

what are you doing why are you crying

help me what are you doing

why are you facing up where are you going

give me back my boy

God give me back my boy

oh my God

oh my God

you okay

take that means I'm dry

yes thank you

and you are very very helpful

I appreciate it

I'm just too disgusted

don't you go easy on that stuff

they say not to drink the water

there are other alternatives

maybe we should stay the night

hmm

maybe we should

maybe it's a good idea

I just have to take care of one thing first

what's that just a just a little thing

hey it's no problem chief

I'll just find their bowls or whatever

and you can just relax about it

no I don't think

you're trying to take advantage of anything

I think you might wanna eat a little something

uh plan on sleeping in tomorrow

no no

no I'll take care Kitty okay yeah yeah yeah

oh okay

well you be careful man

thank you I'll be careful too

okay alright

bye bye now

that is not a litter box
