Thank you for doing that. >> Yeah, you're welcome. >> Yeah. >> I mean, we got in the garage. My goal was to ask her to search everything and she let us all in. >> The only thing is that I think he I think he probably was there because initially she was like, "No one was there." And then she's like, "Well, there might be two people upstairs." So, which makes sense. You go upstairs to Marco's room. His room is individually locked. Like there's two rooms that have an individual like key lock like like it's probably like an outdoor lock cuz they put on the inside doors. >> So, he he has one and then the other room in the house had one. >> Okay. We banged on it. We tried to get him to come, but >> yeah, he's probably I guess they're all 49 users and he's probably worried that we're looking at him or something. >> Yeah, that's what I tried to explain. I said, we just want to make sure she's safe. Like, we just want to make sure if she's here, that's fine. We don't care. We just want to make sure that she's >> J got a call today that um some of her friends have been coming over the house and taking some of her stuff. >> That's what I told him yesterday. So, I spoke with the um the neighbor out on the front porch and I was like, "Hey, do you have you seen this girl?" Um and she said, "I speak English. I'll give you the whole team." So, she basically said that yeah, like she's her and Ashley are like kind of friends. Like they would like off past like she like started to become friends. I guess she say >> the girl that was living there, >> the girl that was next door. So, it's a duplex. So, it's on the shared porch. Okay. >> But it's she lives at the house next door. Um >> she says that like Ash and I asked me to go out drinking a couple times. She asked me to hang out. And when they did that, Marcos got really mad. But she's the one that said that she's been seeing Ashley's friends come by and get bags and like her stuff and move it. So, I wonder if she's just staying out the street a little bit or >> she wants to be hidden. But the thing about her kid is weird because even the neighbor said that >> who was the other girl that was living there with at the house? >> I don't know what the relationship was, but she was there with five kids. Um, >> yeah, there was I mean with I mean there was a bed in the living room upstairs and there's probably a lease five or seven kids over there. I'm like I have no idea. >> Oh, that one's going to fall. Ashley's there. >> No, they all wonder where her kids are though. >> Mom had them on. Didn't mom have them? Did Ash come? Oh, no. >> How old are Ashes? >> And they were the little ones there. So maybe maybe they were her. >> Supposedly um Marcos is um watching the kids with Ashley's mom. >> Oh, okay. >> Supposedly. >> Yeah. So that's that's that's the whole reason that they call they said she never leaves the kids. You never >> There was a little baby the probably the There was like a probably a 10-year-old. >> Yeah, that lady there had four room four or five year old kids. And then >> Was she Hispanic? >> Yeah, she was Spanish. >> Yeah. The upstairs attic room said Marcus and Ashley on the door. >> Yeah, she car I said, "Hold up here." I know for a missing kid. >> So, where did you learn your Spanish? Um, >> I'm Puerto Rican, so I grew up being spoken to in Spanish, but um I went to like a predominantly like white suburban high school. No one else was speaking Spanish, so I was a brat, so I refused to speak it back. Um, and then as I got older and I like realized that was valuable, >> that was probably a dumb bratty move of my little juvenile self. Um, so really in high we had a really good Spanish program at my high school. So I took it all through high school and then but even then like I had like an uncle that would babysit us and some that only spoke Spanish. So you kind of just had to >> Oh yeah. >> You have to kind of like navigate at least a little bit. Yeah. But really high school Spanish helped a lot and I've just tried to continue it >> a little bit. But I need I need to really tell when it's messy. It gets the job done but it's messy. But I really need to work on like solidifying it and getting it perfected. >> Well, if you keep uh volunteering that you're speaking officer, you're going to get plenty of stay very busy. Yes. At least at least once. >> Oh, really? >> Zone 30. >> Zone. >> He might have had firearms. >> Oh, probably. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Really special. Yeah. What are they talking about? >> There's a park right here on Shoemaker like >> Hamilton right at >> 1201 in the chopper. What was that, sir? >> So, we're over here looking Hamilton and 18. Any other info? No, we just know about approximately an hour and a half ago, the mom and two children were dropped off in that area and uh just looking for him. >> For hours, police launch a massive search, deploying helicopters, canvasing neighborhoods, and chasing false tips away while Leonda calmly watches from her front lawn, barely 30 ft from the closet where Martonio's body rests. Let me ditch this so I'm not running around carrying this. There we go. Take all. Hey, just go for Yeah, go from the pool and pick this one. >> I'll be the next further back. We want uh two officers. on the back. Two alters on the front. >> Two and two. >> Yep. >> All right, we're going to have to call more cars out. >> There's a gun over here. >> What's that? >> There's a gun over here. >> I got it. >> Car 55. >> 55. >> Yeah. Yeah, if you can break a car loose anywhere on the zone. Uh we're turning this into a guard on this missing. So we need two cars up or two officers up front, two officers out back. 58's up here. They'll take the front. I'll be uh one of the officers in the back. If you can send one more car, one officer car be fine. >> We got a cruiser back here. >> I'm going to pull mine back here. You said you wanted two officers. >> Well, one front and back. Okay. >> All right. Hang on. >> Run back right now. >> Thanks. >> One victor. Uh, we can take that spot. >> 55. I misunderstood. They just need one officer in the front, one officer in the back. So, we should be okay right now. So they just I think 52 just cleared. >> Yeah. One in the front, one in the back. >> So just I'll just go back right here. >> Slide around. You guys need waters or anything? No. >> All right. I'm getting my man. Thank you, sir. Nice.

You >> go right over here. We're actually going to put you in here with these officers. Okay. >> Okay.
