Stay in there. >> Hi, >> how are you? >> Good. How are you? You guys coming home? >> Yeah, I just hate you. >> Police questioned Manuel Jillian Senior at his trailer. Inside, Liv is son Manny and girlfriend Brianna. For months, they concealed a terrible truth from relatives. Now, a detective arrives, ready to expose the secret and change everything forever. Tonight, suddenly, >> hey, Manny. Hey, Briana. >> You guys know why I'm out here trying to talk to you guys. >> One year earlier, the pair murdered their young daughter, hiding her remains in woods beside the trailer, then carried on daily life pretending normaly. [music] Slowly, Brianna's relatives noticed troubling signs and alerted authorities, [music] fearing something terrible. When investigators finally uncovered the deception, crucial mistakes allowed both responsible adults to avoid punishment. Families and detectives were left facing [music] a devastating truth, struggling to understand how such cruelty went unnoticed for so long, marking one of the most painful cases they would ever encounter. They killed her. I know we did. >> And I know you've been lying to us. Tell us what happened. >> Right there. >> This house belongs Ourelia Manuel senior parents. Manny Gillian. Officers believe in him linked missing child case. 48 hours earlier. Eddie County deputies received alarming call. relatives girlfriend, Brianna Stallings, aged 24, reporting worries regarding young daughter safety. Authorities continue inquiry quietly, carefully today after tips surfaced locally nearby. >> We were concerned about my cousin uh her name is Brand of Stalling and we never seen her with her baby anymore. She blocked us all on social media and everything. She's with a guy named Manny Manny Gillian. Brianna Cousin explained family has not seen her daughter almost one year. Child last appeared alive at Manny parents' house. Officers arrived only for safety check without realizing they were minutes from entering one darkest shocking homicide cases they would ever face [music] during entire law enforcement careers forever. >> I can't see in there. >> Hi. Hello, >> Sergeant. >> Hi. How are you, sir? >> Very good. Manuel begin. Nice to meet you, Manuel. >> Happy fair. How are you? >> Good. How are you? >> Is um anyone else here? >> No. >> Just meet you. >> Yes. Okay. >> Can we go talk over here? Is that Would that be okay? I'm just going to talk with them real quick. >> Um do you know if >> Well, what I heard already? Yes, I know what happened already. when [snorts] I when I know that my she will be my son because one day uh they appear over there she had a problem she don't hear nobody they uh take care of her but she's praying there she's praying >> did you know if the baby had been born did you ever see the baby but when when they when they born they were were together they were together and uh like I told you >> Manny father said Brianna seemed distant from relatives she appeared appeared alone, lacking support, slowly depending upon Manny plus his parents while expecting a baby. Outwardly, he acted unaware anything was wrong involving the little girl. Soon, officers would discover he possibly understood much more about the vanished [music] child than he believed, uncovering truths hidden beneath calm words. >> So, when when she had the baby, where were they living? >> Oh, there they had a baby. They went with me maybe maybe a week, two weeks over there and they went some forever. >> So right after they had the baby, they lived with you for a little bit. >> Yeah, a little bit. I think they can vis someday. Yeah. And then they disappear because they were driving or they were staying. I don't know. I respect her. I never pretty bad in heaven if I open my door to hurt you. >> Yeah. >> But I never I tweeted with with my heart. Despite language problems, officers slowly gather details together. Manny father explained son once served Marines believing he showed care toward Brianna daughter providing safety. He says he tried helping couple letting them stay inside house giving support kindness after Brianna lost family ties. According situation seemed sad deserving help. Still, he admits relationship felt unstable since they stayed briefly vanished again repeatedly. During those times, he believed actions were right as assisting struggling [music] young pair rebuild lives. [snorts] Sadly, he never imagined kindness would later turn into [clears throat] deepest regret ever. Before leaving location, investigators also speak Mannymother. She quietly shares troubling remarks describing [music] tension, secrecy, strange behavior around pair. Those comments raise concerns [music] suggesting hidden issues, darker truth beneath explanations. Officers realize welfare visit changing into serious disturbing investigation very quickly. >> So Manuel and Brianna never lived there when you were there. >> Even they're coming with the baby. No, baby. >> She wasn't at the house there when the baby was there. Have >> you ever visited him? >> Okay. >> Manny mother speaks [music] Spanish with officers. She says when never asking Brianna Manny about daughter, couple claim child stayed with relatives. She skips troubling facts about real events inside Manny life. Information police [music] soon discover alone. For a moment, investigators depart house carrying questions lacking answers. They still cannot find Brianna. Manny also unsure where little girl could be. As leaving begins, Manny brother arrives driving toward residence. Detectives hurry forward talk him. Conversation gives first solid clue pointing possible location involving missing child. Tension rises quickly as silence hangs heavy. Neighbors watching quietly. Night air thick. Sense danger growing. Truth nearing surface. case shifting direction permanently for investigators [music] as seen outside. >> Your mom's a cool lady and I completely forgot about about Susan, man. >> I'm Detective Johnson, man. >> Nice to meet you, sir. >> Nice to meet you. Hey, so we're just We just talked to your mom. >> Nobody's in trouble. >> But see, I have no idea why the family contacted you guys. I I told her to call me if she had any questions that I would give her any information that I had. And I did that. >> Um, >> is it Bri or her family member or >> her aunt? I got the messages right here. And have you talked to Briana or Manuel at all or >> I I talked to Briana maybe >> a couple weeks ago. >> Okay. >> Um >> have you seen her does she have her baby with her? >> I have not seen the baby since it's been a couple of months now. Probably like three maybe more. I was one or two. I was like where I haven't seen her in a in a while. Is she okay? And she had told me that one of her aunts was taking care of her. No, I got you. >> Manny brother tells officer's couple child stayed with Brianna aunt. Yet he admits not seeing girl for many months and sounds unsure story true. Afterward, detectives contact Brianna relatives. Each aunt gives same answer none caring for child. One aunt Ruby urges investigators visit her directly saying she noticed disturbing signs about Brianna and Manny relationship needing attention. When detectives reach Ruby home, they quickly sense situation involves more than disappearance. Her words hint secrets lies fear surrounding couple actions. Officers realize case expanding beyond welfare concern toward darker unsettling truth waiting discoveries soon. >> Hello. Are you Ruby? >> Yes, sir. >> Hi, Ruby. I'm Detective Johnson. We spoke on the phone. >> Yes. >> I think you said you had some uh >> Yes. Come on in. >> Right there. >> Come here, baby. >> Is that all right if I come in? >> Yes. Come in. Thank you. >> I know something's going on because when Brianna was pregnant, she was here with me and she left. She I [music] raised Brianna since age six. >> And I spoke to her brother earlier. I called him on my lunch break. >> That's [music] Is it Brian? >> Brian. >> Brian. Okay. >> And asked him, "Hey, what's going on?" I said, "Have you met your niece? Have you seen her?" He says, "No, I haven't." Cuz when she had her baby that day, she called me. >> Yeah. And then you went to the hospital. I went right away and he kind of got mad and why she's with >> Manny? >> Yeah, cuz I was taking pictures. >> She was already with Manny. >> Yes. And he kind of got mad and he whispered in her ear and he walked out of the room and I'm like And I said, "He's mad, huh?" I told Annie he got mad. She goes, "Yeah, you're not going to pay attention to him." >> What the detective hears now goes beyond concern. It feels profoundly disturbing. For the first time, Brianna and Manny's connection sounds unstable, edging toward danger. Ruby cannot yet know, but instinct proves accurate, and within days, she will learn an unbearable reality about her grand niece. Meanwhile, the investigator departs the house, returning to headquarters with urgency, convinced speed matters, and the pair must be found. [music] Ruby's account alarms them, yet it marks only an opening chapter with darker disclosures ahead. 48 hours slip by without sightings of either adult or their baby. Then a phone call arrives from Desiree, introducing herself [music] as Brianna's former roommate. Aware of reports about a missing infant, she claims vital insight regarding Manny. She offers history relatives withheld from authorities. Information capable [music] of changing everything, forever altering the direction of the investigation and urgency. >> The only reason that everything kind of worries me is just she fell off and like she just didn't talk to nobody and then this kind of like happened, you know? >> Do you know why she's kind of um disassociated herself from other people? Her and Manny were fighting so bad. He said he didn't want the baby. He has a son and I'm pretty sure that he had got that baby taken away because he [ __ ] out of the baby. And so he doesn't have that kid anymore. The mom has the kid. Brianna, she lived with my mom for 2 years. She lived with me for a year and a half. I've always been like trying to help her out and stuff. Well, what if she was pregnant? You know, he had said that he didn't want to be with her. He didn't want the baby. He doesn't want a kid. That's why he got rid of his other kid. So, it kind of worries me on that part. You know, >> Desire's call, unsurprisingly, sketches an alarming portrait of the relationship. If Manny previously lost parental rights after allegations of abuse, the risk that Brianna's older child faced similar harm becomes impossible to ignore. Together, the duo appears unstable, [music] careless, and wholly unprepared for responsibility. A pattern that heightens pressure on investigators racing to intervene. Every hour matters while a baby remains unaccounted for. The following morning, as detectives organize strategy and assign tasks, a breakthrough finally arrives. A tip identifies the pair's location, a trailer owned by Manny's father. Patrol units respond at once, speeding toward the property with guarded hope. Their goal is simple yet critical, to confront both adults, verify safety, and finally hear their explanation in person. Now minutes stretch without response. An officer knocks once more. When Brianna and Manny eventually emerge from the trailer, recognition flashes across their faces. They understand the reason for the visit, and it's obvious they've already rehearsed what they plan to say. >> Hey, so um I'm Detective Johnson, by the way. Sorry. Do you guys know why I'm out here trying to talk to you guys? Uh, it's because I heard um I guess my family and talking to his family. >> Do you know about what they said that they're missing? >> That's that's why I'm involved as a detective. You know what I mean? Just cuz stuff like that gets passed on to us. >> So, where's your baby at right now? >> She's with her friend. >> Where is that? >> In Wades. >> In Wades. Okay. >> Who's your friend in Wes? Her name's Marian. If you don't mind, I'm just going to talk to you guys individually real quick and then I'll I'm going to talk to both of you quick. So, can you just hang out with him for a minute? Sure. >> And can I talk to you over here? >> Yeah. >> So, obviously I don't I don't know your your personal life. I don't know anybody. I'm just trying to get it all figured out. And >> No, that's fine. I'm just mad cuz >> they're upset. >> Yeah, cuz I don't talk to them at all. what what's they're annoying and they're all in my life and that's one reason why I remember cuz I used to live in my aunt she would call me to hell like >> like what >> like she would always yell at me and saying I'm stupid and I don't know what I'm doing this and that. So I don't like her knowing anything what I she and how y'all are coming over here like my business and what that's one reason why I block them. Is your friend I mean did you take your baby down there or >> Yeah. So she can take their baby. >> So how did you guys end up So when did that happen? >> That happened like >> two months ago. >> Two months ago. >> Brianna offers an explanation that initially seems plausible. She claims relatives intrude constantly and says she's trying to distance herself from ongoing family conflict. She criticizes her aunt Ruby, insisting she was never truly supportive. On the surface, nothing she says immediately signals danger. To confirm accuracy, an officer then speaks with Manny alone, comparing accounts. During that conversation, a minor inconsistency appears, small but significant. It's the first crack, and from that moment, their carefully constructed version of events begins to unravel. Hey man. So, um, can you kind of just give me the rundown of everything going on? >> All righty. So, as far as I know, like her family's been trying to get a hold of her cuz I guess they uh haven't been in touch and want to know how she's doing and the baby's doing and she spoke to a couple family members. I think it was her aunt or brother or some [ __ ] like that cuz they messaged her and she told them to, "Yeah, I'm like, "We're doing okay. Like, you guys don't got to worry about nothing." And then they were like, "Okay, well, just wanted to make sure everything was okay." And then after that, then they started bucking. My mom told me, she's like, "Oh, hey, there's detectives here at my house like trying to figure out like cuz you guys are missing or some [ __ ] You guys haven't like talked to the family or like dude, like what the fuck?" Like, >> she's talked to her aunts or someone. She's talking a couple family members and let them know like everything was okay and like they're still doing this [ __ ] So, you know, I don't know. >> So, the babies and waters. >> Mhm. >> When did that happen? roughly the day here or the month >> probably like >> beginning of the year >> like me card for the 300 block of Mont February the >> Did they give you an address or like how are you guys supposed to get in contact or what's the plan? Is she going to go back for a baby at some point? >> Uh so as far as I knew is like once we got good and [ __ ] we were going to be I guess she was going to be hitting us up back then. That's all all I know. Manny not only provides a completely different timeline for when Brianna's daughter was supposedly handed over, but he also fails to share even the most basic information about the alleged [music] friend who took her in. No name, no address, no contact details. When the officer returns to Brianna and asks the same questions, she also comes up empty, unable to identify this [music] person or offer any proof the story is real. With contradictions mounting and explanations collapsing, suspicion quickly hardens. [snorts] The officer decides enough is enough and orders both adults detained and transported to the station for deeper questioning. There, Brianna and Manny are separated into individual interview rooms, unaware their accounts don't align, investigators deliberately keep that knowledge to themselves, hoping the pressure will reveal the truth. This may be their only opportunity to uncover what truly happened to Brianna's child and determine who is responsible. For the couple, a single misstep now could expose a terrifying secret concealed for months. >> So, how did you get in contact with Maria? >> Um, through WhatsApp. >> Through WhatsApp? >> Yeah. >> When When did this happen? >> I said two months. I told you. >> Two months ago. >> Okay. Do you remember the day? >> I don't remember. As anticipated, Brianna and Manny maintain their mismatched accounts. More troubling, neither expresses worry [music] about their daughter's safety despite weeks without contact from the alleged caretaker. Unknown to them, investigators already pursued the name Brianna provided and confirmed the person does not exist. With that discovery, deception becomes undeniable. Detectives recognize the pair are fabricating events and shielding a darker truth. The interviews shift tone as officers [music] prepare to confront Brianna head on. The goal is clarity. What happened to the child when it happened and who bears responsibility? Pressure mounts, silence stretches, and consequences loom for everyone [music] involved inside here.
