When she didn't come home, he 39 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.639 was worried and called her sister to let her know. 40 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.719 It was the early morning hours of Saturday, December twelfth. 41 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.759 She hadn't been missing for long enough to report her. 42 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.520 I got the call she was missing around twelve am. 43 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.719 I knew I had to call the police about one 44 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.159 o'clock in the morning, but it wasn't long enough. I 45 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.759 knew he Jack was going to turn you around because 46 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.000 it wasn't your own order. The police station was going 47 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.560 to turn you around because she wasn't gone long enough. 48 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.879 In other words, they weren't going to act on it 49 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.840 if she was only gone for an Hour's what you mean? 50 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.199 Yeah? 51 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.199 And you knew that. 52 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.639 Yeah, Kuldjavia's sister walked into the Detroit Police department at 53 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.159 noon the very next day and reported Kajavia in her 54 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.080 car missing. She'd been missing for less than twenty four hours, 55 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:01.039 but her family had already waited long Enough's sister insisted 56 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.120 that she wouldn't just leave. Someone must have done something 57 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.800 to her. The police filed the report and even reached 58 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.719 out to the news media to spread the word. The 59 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.280 nightly news that Saturday was filled with pictures of Kajavia 60 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.400 and her two thousand and three gold Chevy Impala. 61 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.319 And if anybody has any information on missing Kajavia Globe, 62 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.840 please call Detroit Police.

Early on December fourteenth, 70 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.719 two days after reporting Kajavia missing, someone called nine to 71 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.280 one one Detroit nine. 72 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.199 The address of the emergency. 73 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:00.759 I don't know. 74 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.879 I listened to the news. They says young ladies missing. 75 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.479 There's been a car on my block a Keeler and Sinkle. 76 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.639 It's been there for like all day yesterday and I'm 77 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.039 the only one to live on the block. That says 78 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.360 gown a corner. He could have company, but it looks 79 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.120 kind of suspicious. I don't know if this uh is 80 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.120 suspicious or not, but I think the police should come 81 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.319 and check this vehicle out. 82 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.480 He said, Man, is this an abandoned vehicle or have 83 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.480 you seen the missing person that you saw this? 84 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.800 I seen a girl missing of something and I did 85 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.800 notice this car disappear from nowhere. And I don't know 86 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.600 if it's related or not, but I'm thinking maybe the 87 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.040 police can find out. 88 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.519 The caller couldn't have been any clearer. She saw a 89 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.680 suspicious car resembling the one from all the news reports 90 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.839 about the missing woman. It had been sitting at the 91 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.839 end of her block for over a day. She just 92 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.040 wanted the police to come and check it out, but 93 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.000 the dispatcher acted like she didn't understand. 94 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.639 Okay, acting on the corner Keeler and Finkle, and I 95 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.759 know this young lady came up missing off telegraph. I 96 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.439 don't know what kind of car it is, but I 97 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:05.279 I'm ma'am. 98 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.360 Now, huh, I understand that you said there's an abandoned 99 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.199 vehicle at the corner of your block. My question to 100 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.879 you is, what does that have to do with the 101 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.839 missing young lady. 102 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.240 I don't know. It just s looks suspicious to me 103 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.399 that their car is there and I've never seen it before. 104 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.000 That's fine, the abandoned vehicle. We requested for that, but 105 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.360 I'm try to understand where does the young lady come 106 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:31.399 in at uh. 107 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.120 I don't know. I make you said, because telor I 108 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.839 didn't wanna go up close to it. But they say 109 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.040 she has some kind of impala come goal and in 110 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.319 the car looks like it's like a d a Tannish okay. 111 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.839 Pannel with oldish color. So what you're saying looks like 112 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.720 the car that they described on television. 113 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.920 I'm kind of ignoro when it comes to cars, but 114 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.879 I know which Tannish goal and and and it disappears there, 115 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.079 and I know, I know I lived near the telegraph 116 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.079 and I'm just kind of like, you know, I don't 117 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.160 wanna walk around the car and bring no attention about that. 118 00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:59.839 Oh, I'm ma'am. Take a deep rest. 119 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.279 I mean talk about hating your job. I get it. 120 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.160 A lot of people don't like their job, but you're 121 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.680 kind of doing something important, Lady. Maybe a career in 122 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.800 the DMV or the local post office would be more appropriate, 123 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.480 better suit it for this Black Karen than a job 124 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.079 where actual human beings are physically at risk. Maybe the 125 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.160 only people who have actual empathy should be hired for 126 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.920 these jobs. But who the hell am I to say? 127 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.439 The caller had done the math a gold car, an 128 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.959 empty block, and a missing woman. You don't have to 129 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.120 be elon musk to figure it out. I mean, maybe 130 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.199 these things are related, but maybe they're not. Either way, 131 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.800 it's the cops job to figure it out, not the 132 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:51.879 person reporting it. But somehow the dispatcher couldn't or wouldn't 133 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.120 connect the dots. 134 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.240 Take a deep breath for me, because you're talking really 135 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:02.519 fast the fragments, and I'm trying to understand what you're saying. 136 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.040 Apparently that seems to be a challenge. 137 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.360 So what you're saying is that you heard this on 138 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.199 the news, you looked outside yesterday, you saw this vehicle, 139 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.800 and it matches the vehicle that you heard on the news. 140 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.000 I didn't look outside. I mean, it's just like I 141 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.319 was outside in the morning, like I'm outside every Sunday, 142 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.439 and I noticed this car that has been there all day, 143 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.240 and I baked out the window today and it's still there. 144 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:25.920 And I have no. 145 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.360 Idea he looked out. You looked outside and you saw 146 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.240 the vehicle that you believe has something to do with 147 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.639 what you heard on the news. Is that what I 148 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.800 understand it is that what I'm understanding you to say. 149 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.040 Now it could be. 150 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.800 Because it's in front of abandoned house and that's all 151 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.680 the land as homes with my block, and there's only 152 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.040 one resident and I know that's not his car. So 153 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.399 that's what I'm saying. It's like, this is there and 154 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.240 there's no homes here occupiably other than mine and the 155 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.839 guy who's down on the corner unless he has come. 156 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.199 Now you're going a mile a minute again. 157 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.800 Okay, I'm sorry from wasting your time. 158 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.240 You're not wasting my time. But man, what. 159 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.920 Happens happened at That's why people. 160 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:02.360 Don't like to call. 161 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.439 I'm trying to under sustain it, don't mask it, don't 162 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.519 matter no, Okay, what happens happened when Detroit. 163 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.800 To shoot happens all the time. 164 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:14.240 In Detroit, shit does happen all the time. That is true. 165 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.399 In twenty fifteen, Detroit citizens had been battling urban decay 166 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.480 for decades. It was a vicious cycle where fewer people 167 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.439 meant less money. Less money meant fewer businesses invested in 168 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.319 the neighborhood. With fewer businesses, there were fewer jobs, so 169 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.519 more people would move away, taking their money with them, 170 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:39.039 so on and so forth. Abandoned buildings and homes were everywhere, 171 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.159 especially on the West Side. There were whole streets of 172 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.200 empty homes with sagging porches and boarded up windows. With 173 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.360 over one hundred thousand abandoned structures, the city couldn't keep up, 174 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.639 and those that remained in these neighborhoods paid the price. Brightmore, 175 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.759 where the car was found was one of the hardest hit, 176 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.240 with something like thirty percent of all structures abandoned. Vacant 177 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.720 lots became illegal dumping grounds, and unoccupied homes became hubs 178 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.639 for criminal activity. Two years earlier, the city filed for 179 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.559 bankruptcy and lost nearly forty percent of the police force. 180 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.559 Now neighborhoods on the West Side had high poverty and 181 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:23.080 crime rates, with little police presence and slow response times. 182 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.919 This led to rampant crime. Of course, the good people 183 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.240 left in the community rarely talked to the cops because 184 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:37.919 of distrust for authorities and fear of criminal retaliation. And 185 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.039 even when they did, even when someone tried to help, 186 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.519 the system was stretched so thin that the police didn't 187 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.519 realize they had already gotten a nine to one one 188 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.639 call about Kajavia's car the day before. 189 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.759 I just saw a news reports about the young. 190 00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:03.600 Shatama Chatham. Yeah in single Yeah, one block the north 191 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.159 of Flint Finkeel, the young lady that was missing. Okay, 192 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.679 says O three Golden Pellar. 193 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.279 You said, the young lady that was missing. 194 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.000 See, I just saw a news report. I saw the 195 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.279 car earlier today. I'm doing a job on that street 196 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.000 and as far as on the that would be the 197 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.440 west side of Chadow Man. You know, everything is taking 198 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.559 on that side, so it was odd. And then I 199 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.399 just saw the news report. So I rode by to 200 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.559 check the license plate on the car, and that's the 201 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.360 car AFF nine six. Okay. 202 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.799 Now I'm not familiar with what's going on. So I 203 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:46.200 just saw it. 204 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.240 Say no, no, no, I can Okay. 205 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.360 They're talking about but what is this incident about? 206 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.399 A young lady's missing they're looking for and what's does 207 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.399 car got to do with her? 208 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.480 This was the car she was last seen driving. 209 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.000 Okay, so I need to know the exact location that 210 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:02.440 was there? 211 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:08.360 Okay, shadows one block north of Sinkle's right there, like 212 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:14.000 near the corner. Anyway, I'm gonna put this request there, Okay, 213 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:14.480 all right? 214 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.279 The caller had to explain it three times? Is it me? 215 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.000 Or do you not need a basic ged to get 216 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.399 a job as a dispatcher in Detroit? Is every dispatcher 217 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.200 in Detroit completely fucking retarded? Seems like that's the case. 218 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.679 Then the dispatcher submits a request. This is a report 219 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.480 about finding a missing woman's car. This shouldn't be a request, 220 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.679 should be a priority. Should get off your ass. This 221 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.519 call wasn't being taken seriously at all. It's unclear why 222 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.159 this call didn't get any attention. Maybe it was a 223 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.120 shift change, Maybe it somehow just got lost in the shuffle. 224 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.200 Maybe they didn't have an officer to send her. Maybe 225 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.399 they just didn't give up. Fuck Kajavi's family didn't know 226 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.039 a call had already been ignored, but they didn't have to. 227 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.879 In their neighborhood, they learned not to count on help 228 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.799 that may never come. Their loved one had been gone 229 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.240 for too long, and they weren't gonna wait for police 230 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.480 to find her. 231 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.720 We're gonna be out here every day until we find her. 232 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.320 And whoever got our sister, your best bet. If you 233 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.720 believe in God her, if you love yourself, send our 234 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.960 sister home. Send our sister home, because God ain't sleep, 235 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.679 and please believe it ain't. None of us got no 236 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.559 sleep either, and we ain't getting none until you come home. 237 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.399 Kajavia Globe was last seen on the afternoon of Friday, 238 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.600 December eleventh. She had just gotten a promotion at work, 239 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.240 celebrated with balloons and goodbyes. After work, she visited her 240 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.480 aunt to share the news. That night, she never came home. 241 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.120 Her car was spotted two days later on Sunday night, 242 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.679 but police never responded. Monday morning, another call came in. 243 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.559 This time officers were dispatched, but when prepared for what 244 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.159 they would find, officers finally arrived at the corner of 245 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.840 Chatham and Finkel on the morning of Monday December fourteenth, 246 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.679 with no real sense of urgency. It was an hour 247 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.320 after the nine to one one call put it that way. 248 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.720 Dispatch never even mentioned the possible connection to a missing woman. 249 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.519 The area where this vehicle was located. What kind of 250 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:03.039 area is this? 251 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.039 A lot of It's a large field, a lot of 252 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.440 vacant homes. There's probably a handful of occupied homes in 253 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:12.919 that area. 254 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.879 The gold car was parked at the end of the 255 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.960 block in front of a vacant house. The street was 256 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.759 filled with empty lots and unoccupied homes in disrepair. Only 257 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.120 a couple of families actually lived on the street. The 258 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.279 officer arrived and followed procedure running the plate number through 259 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:31.919 the system. 260 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.039 The license plate was Adam Frank Frank nine. 261 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:42.919 Six AFF nine two six Kajavia's plate number, just like 262 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.559 the ignored nine to one to one call set. The 263 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.759 first caller had already given them the plate number. They'd 264 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.159 had a chance to find her and missed it. While 265 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.799 waiting for the licensed plate search to come back, he 266 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.759 walked up to the car and looked inside. 267 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.320 Looked in through the window. I answered a purse on 268 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.840 the front passers seat. Balloons were in the back seat. 269 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.360 I observed red drice mirrors that appeared to be blooded 270 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:09.679 in the center council cup. 271 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.440 Her purse was still on the seat. The balloons from 272 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.360 her promotion party hovered silently in the back. It was 273 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.879 Kajavia's car and there was no sign of her, but 274 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.639 the blood in the car made the situation a much 275 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.759 higher priority. 276 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.919 As we recovered the vehicle, there was evidence of foul play. 277 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.559 It proved something had happened to her. Kajavia could be 278 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:42.200 somewhere hurt or worse. This was no longer just a 279 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:43.279 missing person's case. 280 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.360 So many loved ones out here for Kajavia, who again 281 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.720 many call Nucy, including her sister here Tracy.

They also have the K 289 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.200 nine unit coming out as well, So we don't wanna, 290 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.360 you know, mess up their investigations, so they want to 291 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.720 get theirs done first.

It's a lot of wooded areas, 297 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.080 it's a lot of outside areas. 298 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.200 We just want to look and. 299 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.080 Make sure nothing no blood, no no stone unturned turned. 300 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.639 The police started searching the immediate area. They searched in 301 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.440 all directions for blocks. They even searched the banks of 302 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:45.440 the Rouge River. Meanwhile, sanitation manager got an unusual report 303 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.559 a few miles away. 304 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.279 Now, were you alerted to something by one of your 305 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.399 drive yes? 306 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.399 Money, okay? 307 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.039 And do you know about what time? 308 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:59.279 That was maybe about nine thirty a years and what 309 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.759 were you alerted that there was a body in one 310 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.359 of the containers that he serves. 311 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.319 You'd never gotten a report like that before. He immediately 312 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.920 drove over the Fielding Street between Kiptford and seven mile 313 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:14.400 uh went. 314 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.720 And h researched the information I got, checked all the 315 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.359 cans to make sure there was no body. 316 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.559 He walked up and down the street, checking every trash 317 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.559 can on the curb. He didn't find anything. But as 318 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.759 a city employee, he wasn't allowed on private property. So 319 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.680 if the trash can was next to the house. He 320 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.599 couldn't check it. 321 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.160 You know. 322 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.039 It kind of stuck with me, and a few hours 323 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.559 later one of my drivers got sick and went home, 324 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.839 so I got on his truck and finished what finished 325 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:55.319 his route, and we distilled on my mind. I saw 326 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.880 the police over on Chatham, and I happened to stop 327 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.640 and talked to one of the officers and tell them 328 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.599 about the ordeal. 329 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.559 I just went through the sanitation manager, stumbled upon a 330 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.160 large police presence and relayed the report of a body 331 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.640 in a trash can with evidence of foul play and 332 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.079 Kajavio's car. Officers and detectives were sent to Fielding Street 333 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.720 to look around. Fielding Street looked a lot like Chatham. 334 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.839 The few homes on the block were run down and 335 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.119 most were unfit to live in. Yards were full of 336 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.319 rotting leaves and fallen branches. There were only a handful 337 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.799 of families left on the block. There was one house 338 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.799 in particular that stood out one eight five four one 339 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.319 Fielding Street was an abandoned home, long since boarded up, 340 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.000 but behind it was a city issued trash can. 341 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:55.440 We got a direct to the backyard by Detective Shade 342 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.920 worked in harmsize section. We'd get back there and by 343 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:03.319 indicated earlier backyard that is heavily laden with the fallen 344 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.279 leaves debris. 345 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.079 Behind the little yellow house was a one car garage 346 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.680 that somehow seemed in better shape than the house. Next 347 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.480 to the garage was a large pine tree. At the 348 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.079 foot of that tree, covered in branches was a trash can. 349 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.400 We got pointed to a City of Detroit Corbeille dumpster, 350 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.559 which is the dumpster that you put in front the 351 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:30.440 Alphager weekly trash. In front of the dumpster, there was 352 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:35.240 a pile of branches, tree branches that did not follow 353 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:36.160 that they were placed there. 354 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.839 He called it a dumpster, but really it was your 355 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.160 typical fifty five gallon trash can with a lid, a handle, 356 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.519 and wheels. 357 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.119 Inside the dumpster, it was the body of a black female. 358 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:48.880 She appeared to. 359 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:54.519 Have on a red or orange tight sweater. Around her 360 00:19:54.680 --> 00:20:01.799 neck was a Retto orange different Colorado orange rolle, and 361 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:04.759 she appeared to be news from the waist down. There 362 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.759 was a pair of tan boots inside the dumpster. I 363 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.079 couldn't doubt they were on her feet or just next 364 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.119 to her feet. 365 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.920 Inside the trash can was the body of a young woman. 366 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.240 She was nude from the waist down. She was put 367 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.200 in the trash can knees first, with her legs folded 368 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:25.240 behind her.
