00:01:46.440
control because you know i had a relative who her mom tried to get rid of her phone

of course yeah so somebody called in or pulled the car i'm sorry i've heard that you're fine
00:04:43.420
someone texted in to 911 that someone was getting kidnapped and they were on the interstate but then
00:04:47.660
when they went and did like a location on the phone the address was showing us here
00:04:52.220
and so and it was coming from this number and it was saying that um a friend was getting kidnapped
00:05:01.920
from the chick-pil-a and his dad has a deep voice he doesn't sound like a sap coast and then said
00:05:07.500
see if he says uh yeah arrest my daughter that it was on 95 involving a blue jeep in a van so
00:05:14.060
But then when they did the location of phone, that's what brought us to your house.
00:05:20.220
So this phone number was given to, was set for Ava like a couple months ago.
00:05:36.200
You didn't accidentally push the power button three times and get to 911.
00:05:43.320
I don't know how you text 9-1-1, but I forgot all about her phone because we haven't had it on in months.
00:05:52.760
We had like a free line opportunity like months ago and had not.
00:05:56.360
And turned it on and had all these calls coming in that we don't know.
00:06:11.900
There's 9-1-1 again right there. These numbers calling back in are no caller ID. You did.
00:06:17.500

00:09:40.460
and to have the lawyer present during any questioning you cannot afford a
00:09:44.320
lawyer. One will be appointed for you before my questioning, if you wish. Let me explain
00:10:00.780
something here, okay? You can cry about this. What you've done here is a felony, okay? It's
00:10:09.300
felony crime and you probably had 20 law enforcement officers at least a helicopter
00:10:14.500
and it all looking all running with lights and siren on high speed to try to to try to apprehend
00:10:22.300
or try to stop a serious forcible felony from happening do you know what happens if one of
00:10:27.680
those officers crashes and gets killed on the way to responding to something that that you did as a
00:10:34.720
joke so you better take this serious oh my god i am dude
00:10:42.800
i can't believe nobody simped i think this is making my day oh my god
00:10:55.480
did she ask her questions okay i'm not done yet
00:11:04.720
they're so pissed they're like yeah reading this I'm just gonna start from
00:11:09.520
the beginning okay you have the right to remain silent anything you say can be
00:11:13.540
used against you in court you have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice
00:11:16.900
before we ask you any questions and to have a lawyer you're present during
00:11:22.840
questioning you cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed to you before my
00:11:27.100
questioning if you wish if you decide to answer questions without a lawyer
00:11:30.580
your present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the
00:11:35.160
right to stop answering at any time until you talk to a lawyer. Do you understand each of these
00:11:39.560
rights as I've explained them to you? Do you want to talk to us now? She's going to give you a form,
00:11:47.140
a juvenile rights form. You are going to listen to this word from birth and pay attention to
00:11:54.200
Did she diagnose with any kind of mental health issues or anything like that?
00:12:04.340
Because what I want to know, basically, is how did we get to where we made a decision to do something like this today?
00:12:17.280
As to what the intent was here or how we got the idea to do it.
00:12:24.200
look at him oh my god too much freedom on the phone the last few days we were on vacation
00:12:30.760
we went to pennsylvania um we left on friday from here and we just had a long road trip home and
00:12:38.680
she was on the phone in the back of the car the whole day and she got yesterday morning we gave
00:12:43.720
her friends her phone number and all everybody all of a sudden got my phone number yesterday
00:12:47.960
Well, she had the phone for probably three days, and we took it away from her.
00:12:59.520
Okay, so here's your chance to explain yourself.
00:13:04.840
Keep in mind, I've had thousands of people try to lie to me.
00:13:31.300
I guarantee when you're talking to your friends
00:13:41.960
this is amazing it's just so rare like so many dads are sick i want to be able to hear you
0.97
00:14:03.640
okay you're you're you're you're you're talking about so what what were you trying to accomplish
00:14:08.920
by did did you get on a text and say that somebody was kidnapped okay how did you come up with the
00:14:16.600
location where to tell them that you were on your phone yeah that's what i'm gonna say can you go
00:14:23.560
get her phone we have her phone i did did you have to wait for it good there's deleted messages
00:14:31.560
How do you get to deleted messages on the whole front?
00:14:58.740
Oh my god, they're so big. I shouldn't be laughing.
00:15:07.600
I love that they're backing up law enforcement.
00:15:10.680
Okay, let's call it. I'm trying to consent for them.
00:15:14.280
I've got the passcode for it, too. They already gave it to us.
00:15:22.020
When did we get our T-Mobile account? It had to be over a year ago.
00:15:25.880
It was February of 2022, because I just broke my phone in.
00:15:32.220
So this is who you have as your mobile service now, is T-Bumble?
00:15:35.480
But we had a free phone line, and because, with the package, that was a full line.
00:15:39.980
So I said, you know what, that was my old phone, I got a new phone, and he's going to have to sign up consent form, we'll get the passcode for the phone.
00:15:45.940
I didn't like the first couple of days the way things were going.
00:15:48.380
I literally shut that phone off, because it was free, and it was sitting.
00:15:55.280
and then today like right before vacation we were going to wear stuff in the closet and i said
00:16:01.240
she wanted her phone and she asked and i said okay and i said you can have it and then she
00:16:06.700
had a lot of freedom on it for the road trip clearly what else what else are we going to find
00:16:12.200
on that phone what else did you do wrong that you are going to they are going to see on that phone
00:16:21.180
I'm handing them the phone. If there is a problem, they are going to find it.
00:16:28.620
Where did you figure out where to text this information to,
00:16:33.660
saying that somebody was kidnapped? How did you find, how did you figure out how to do that?
00:16:37.900
can you dial 9-1-1 first you guys want to delete anything so i'll tell you what happened
00:16:46.260
right and then said oh no i i made a mistake or something i think it was a sorry i dialed
00:16:54.920
the wrong number and it disconnected so she's building herself up to doing this
00:16:58.780
and then that was the disconnect and then the text of the whole kidnapping and somebody with
00:17:06.360
a gun and somebody happening started at a different location where did you say it started at
00:17:14.840
okay where at home goes okay how did you how'd you come up with that
00:17:25.320
it's an awful elaborate plan here to just say it just popped in your head
00:17:29.000
did you see something somewhere there somebody did somebody do this and save it like weird
00:17:40.400
ava you need to tell the exact truth i don't want a story i don't care what it is i want the exact
00:17:48.800
you can't make this go away by being quiet the only thing you're going to end up that's going
00:17:53.740
to happen to you is you're going to end up in a pair of handcuffs going to our our juvenile facility
00:17:58.180
I'm not going to make mince any words with you.
00:18:00.660
That's a very distinct possibility of what can happen here today.
00:18:43.480
will you wait a minute if I have a poor bullshit?
1.00
00:18:52.580
So you're trying to blame this on your brother?
00:18:58.180
did he was he was he with you when you made this call okay was he with you when
00:19:04.640
you made these texts okay then then you did this you were on your own for this
00:19:10.500
and your brother seven years old you're not gonna blame your seven-year-old
00:19:14.140
brother for this this is what you're just saying oh my god Jesus Christ women
00:19:24.400
start lying so young okay to call my one to do what what did you say to call my god i know it
00:19:31.840
would be so funny to only give me daughters but please give me a son please please
00:19:40.960
so can i guess what if he told you to go up on the roof and jump off the roof would you do that
00:19:45.280
so what's the difference this was your choice where did where was your brain when you came to
00:19:55.380
the point said let's make a call a 9-1-1 it was a 42 second call so i'm gonna i'm gonna explain to
00:20:02.140
you what what she said to them since she's she's not going to do it she said that someone was
00:20:08.220
abducted basically at gunpoint from the chick-fil-a up in palm coast that the person was
00:20:14.320
following a van that the other person was being held in and they were on i-95 and then said they
00:20:21.000
were pulled over on the side of i-95 at the 234 mile marker which seems awful specific which is
00:20:27.520
almost to the south turning line so we not only had port orange police department new sverna
00:20:33.140
Police Department, Edgewater Police Department, Belushi Sheriff's Office, Revard Sheriff's
00:20:38.860
Office, because it was so close to the county line, to include a helicopter, Florida Highway
00:20:46.200
Patrol, probably no less than two dozen law enforcement officers that are all lights and
00:20:52.100
siren run into, because a kidnapping is probably the most serious, not what one probably would
00:20:57.300
And with the information that was being given, it gave the optics that it was legitimate at first, you know?
00:21:04.920
So, I have something really weird with that phone.
00:21:08.440
When we first got that, the phone kept ringing nonstop, ringing in to me.
00:21:15.000
And I was picking it up, and there was, like, people talking, and I'm like, hello, hello.
00:21:19.860
And, like, nonstop, like, I mean, every four seconds, there was a call coming in with random numbers, and I didn't know that.
00:21:25.160
and i was taking block contact block contact like as soon as we got that phone number today so i
00:21:30.820
know what i'm what i'm saying is when i picked up the phone when we first charged that point of
00:21:36.400
this story mother a few days ago the phone was ringing not stopping it right i don't know
00:21:41.900
something's up with that phone line well he said that she did it yeah good dad get her dad yeah i
00:21:49.000
mean she so it has nothing to do with that i mean may you know you get phone numbers that
00:21:52.520
belong to people that have some different activity but it has nothing to do with she's
00:21:56.440
already told us that she did this yeah what was what what what were you what were you planning
00:22:03.480
on happening out of this for what did you think was going to happen when you said somebody was
00:22:13.640
kidnapped and somebody had a gun what did you think was going to happen
00:22:16.680
did you have any thoughts about how many how much of the law enforcement resources in this area
00:22:25.940
you were going to take up by doing that i probably never thought of that right did you think of the
00:22:32.780
the men and women that have families at home that are driving 90 or 100 miles an hour with their
00:22:38.300
license iron on trying to try to save somebody who's a victim of an armed kidnapping that they
00:22:43.020
could be involved in a in a traffic crash and be seriously injured or killed because you wanted to
00:22:49.180
make a joke does that seem funny to you would that be funny if that happened because i can tell you
00:22:54.540
that would be even more serious than what you're you're looking at right now you physically see
1.00
00:23:01.180
your father walk up to sheriffs military everybody thank you for your service and then you do shit
0.98
00:23:07.380
like this you were everybody you realize how embarrassing this is to your
0.98
00:23:11.620
i want to know the exact way that you made up the story i want to know where you heard the story
00:23:21.540
i want to know how it came into your head so take take a minute and think about it
00:23:26.020

00:23:31.440
