Open the door. >> As they tried to enter the residence, officers found that the key provided did not match the lock. Every entrance on the home was secured and officers debated how to proceed. Tensions rose quickly and the family became increasingly distressed at the lack of answers. Harriet Owens had lived there with her son, but it seemed like nobody was home and he wasn't responding either. What was it that was really going on? Don't rescue my >> I don't know how to break it up. >> One of the glass where the door at >> the place come out with their pry tool. We'll get it open.

I know. >> Everybody said they haven't talked to her since Friday. She called Male every day. Male said she haven't talked to her since Friday. >> As the officers continued attempting to gain entry, Harriet's other children mentioned their brother, John Trail Collins. Something about the way they spoke would catch attention. The entire family said they didn't trust him and added that he had mental health issues. As the moments passed by, so did the sense of dread. Why was there still no response? >> Yeah, >> that glass is cracking. >> Yeah. >> Hey, come out with your hands up. >> Keep your hands up. Keep your hands up where I can see them. Walk this way. Walk this way. Walk this way. Now. Now. On your ground. on the ground. >> Where's your mother? >> Do not move. Do not move. Do not move.

Hold on. >> We need another guy to go with him to the car. >> Is your mother in the house? >> Send me another back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. I need everyone outside of the >> Is your mother in the house? Yes or no? Is your mother in the house? Where is she? >> Once the officers finally got the door open, they spotted a man inside the house and alarms went off. With his hands raised, John walked out of the home and was immediately taken down and handcuffed. Family members began shouting and the level of distress exploded. Collins denied that anyone inside had been hurt, but the nervousness in his voice had given him away. >> Let me stay over. I'm staying with you. >> Back up. Back up. Back. Back up. Rescue in here. >> Rescue. Rescue. Let's go. >> Back up. Back up. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Please. Buddy. Please. No. Please. Guys. Please. No. Back. Back up. I will talk to all of you.

Hold right up towards the driveway, please. >> We need to get him in a car. >> Yeah, I know. in the house till I can't get a car here to get him in the car. All right. >> As the officers called for paramedics, the entire family broke down. Screams, insults, and uncontrollable sobbing would echo outside of the home, while Collins remained face down on the ground, motionless under an officer's restraint. Authorities still did not exactly know what had happened, but the reactions of John Trell's relatives said it all. They already knew what had gone down inside, and the grief became overwhelming. >> All right, one I have one pulling up. Let's go get him. >> Hold on. Stay right here. >> All right. In her car. She's new. We're coming to you. Okay, everybody stand back. Get them back. >> Take them back. [screaming] >> Open your car. >> Get in your car. Get in your car. Go. >> Back. Slow down. Come over here, please. That's what I'm getting. >> What's that? >> Somebody wants to get a crime scene. She's down inside. >> In an effort to calm things down, officers quickly placed Collins in a patrol car and removed him from the scene. His presence only added fuel to an already chaotic moment. Soon after, authorities confirmed that Harriet Owens was dead. The family's worst fears had been realized and officers continued their work as paramedics stepped in and a forensics team was called to determine whether this was the case of a homicide. They had to have evidence and they needed answers and they needed them fast. >> Really? >> So, does he live there? >> Yes. >> What's his relationship? >> That's my brother. >> That's uh what's the what's the word I want to politically correct this. Does he have any mental issues? >> Yes. I always I always told her he was going to be the death of her. She always protected him. That was her. Of course, >> but I always said m be the death of you. And I hate And look what happened. >> Does he have >> I have no idea. >> I know. Then I just found out he beat his daddy and put his daddy in the hospital two months ago. >> I didn't know that. I just found this out today. She never told me this. I would have told her state. >> She never told me this. >> What's his name? >> John Collins. Y'all been here several times. John, what's it? >> Collins. >> Collins. >> Y'all don't be here several times. >> Me and sons are familiar. >> Cuz one time that's I was going to run over with several times. >> My grandma's dead. [crying and laughter] >> I'm They [laughter] better check. >> I want to see my grandma so bad. One of Harriet's daughters and sister to John Trell told the police that her mother had always defended him despite his violent behavior. She said her brother had struggled with mental health and that she had warned her mother several times that he might eventually kill her. Just two months earlier, Collins had violently attacked their father, sending him to the hospital in critical condition. But still, no one had taken action. And now it had all ended in the worst possible way. All right. I'm going to pull you out since I wasn't able to search you. I'm going to pull you out of the car and I'm just going to have you stand right here. I'm going to search you. Okay. >> What they do? Just throw you in the car. >> Pretty much.
