Turns the investigation on it's head.

And told us to be quiet.
- ♪
- Narrator: July 2013.
Phone records have revealed that the last person that was
In contact with missing person, josé reyes ramos,
Was his brother's ex-girlfriend, daisy gutierrez.
- Obviously, I wanted to delve a little more into that,
So I went to go interview his brother jorge.
Jorge had indicated to me he has no relationship
With his ex-girlfriend. They broke up on bad terms,
And he doesn't even communicate with her.
- Narrator: According to jorge,
In one of his last communications
With daisy directly, she made a shocking allegation.
- His brother indicated to me
That josé is madly in love with daisy,
And his brother and him were at odds about the fact that
José wanted to date his ex-girlfriend,
And essentially, become a surrogate father
To jorge's two children,
Which I found extremely peculiar at the time.
Maybe jorge is making up this whole story about
His brother missing, and he indeed
Knows a little more as to why his brother is missing.
- Narrator: Detectives press jorge for more details
About his brother's disappearance,
But his story remains the same.
- Based on the information we had,
His brother did not have anything to do with it.
His brother was very worried, very concerned about josé,
And he was very concerned that something had happened.
- Narrator: After exhausting every angle into jorge,
He is officially ruled out as a suspect.
Hoping daisy might have some answers,
Investigators pull her address and notice another connection
To josé's cell phone data.
- The cell tower location history
Showed that his phone was pinging off towers
That led right to the residence where daisy gutierrez lived
On the night he went missing.
All our leads were leading to daisy.
- My next step is to see if I get a hold of daisy
To see if maybe she has seen josé.
I arrived at daisy's home and was met by daisy's mother
Who indicated to me that she hasn't spoken to daisy
And is not exactly certain where daisy went.
There were children in the home, and I asked,
"are those daisy's children?" and she said,
"yes, those are daisy's children."
She's equally as frustrated as- as I am in trying to find daisy.
I told daisy's mother that it's imperative
That I speak to daisy.
- Narrator: But over the next several weeks,
No one reports hearing from daisy or josé,
Circulating theories among detectives.
- So, you know, that's when it becomes frustrating.
At this point I'm kind of stuck, I don't know where daisy is.
I was given some phone numbers
Disconnected or not a good number.
I thought to myself that maybe she is with josé.
And, uh, that maybe, uh, she's just protecting josé
From his family being upset with him.
I again, asked the mom, "how do you live, you know,
"your daily life with your grand kids
"and not knowing, you know,
The whereabouts of your- of your daughter?"
She informed me that she's gonna try to do her best in-
In locating daisy and- and I told her,
Uh, you know, I'll be back, um, within a couple days
To speak to her if she doesn't get back to me.
I would periodically check in with her.
- Narrator: Then, on August 3rd,
2 months since josé's disappearance,
Detectives receive a break that could clear up some confusion.
- Suddenly, uh, one day, um, in the office,
Daisy gutierrez called me.
She says, you know, "I understand
You're looking for me,"
And I said, "well, yes, where are you?
You know, I'd like to speak to you in person."
She said, "well, I'm living in new jersey now.
I decided to move out here, uh, with a boyfriend."
And I said, "well, who's this boyfriend?"
And she said, "uh, just a guy that I met online."
- Narrator: Daisy says her new boyfriend
Is 22-year-old milton miranda.
- I asked her, "well, what about josé?
Do you happen to know where he's at?"
And she said, "I have no idea where josé is."
- Narrator: According to daisy, she'd traveled to new jersey
Via bus to stay with her new boyfrnd
Ie - narrator: According to daisy, she'dat the end of may.Ersey
- Daisy gutierrez stated that she hasn't seen josé reyes
In several months and hasn't had contact with him.
- Narrator: But detectives know that josé's cellphone
Pinged off a tower right next to daisy's home
On the night of his disappearance.
- At this point, I obviously had the phone records,
But I was not going to tip my hat,
And I really, really wanted to speak to her in person.
- Narrator: Before detectives hang up with daisy,
They ask if her boyfriend milton was in chicago around that time.
- Daisy also told us that milton miranda
Was never in chicago.
- Narrator: After answering detective's questions,
Daisy promises to come to the station
When she is back in chicago to visit her family.
While he waits, detective matias follows up on her story.
- She claimed that she was traveling, uh, back and forth
From new jersey to chicago on, uh, a greyhound bus
In may of 2013.
- When they had the bus records tracked down,
There was a ticket purchased for milton and for daisy,
Which daisy said that miranda was never in chicago,
So she was lying.
- Narrator: The tickets are dated
Just days after josé's murder.
- We needed to hear her side of it.
We were gonna find out what happened.
- Narrator: On August 10th,
Investigators get the chance to confront daisy.
- I, uh, again received a phone call from daisy
Saying, completely out of the blue, again,
Saying, "hey, I'm in chicago, I'm able to- to talk."
- Narrator: Finally, face to face with daisy,
Detectives waste no time presenting her
With phone records showing josé near her house on may 21,
The night he went missing.
- She said, "okay, I'm gonna tell you what happened."
And she goes, "let's take a walk."
So, we take a walk down the block,
As bizarre as that may sound,
And suddenly her demeanor changed.
She changed from this bubbly person to kind of
This person that wanted to convince me of- of something.
- Narrator: According to daisy,
She had in fact seen josé on may 21st.
- She said that josé was coming to bring things
For the children, initially.
- Daisy said he came over in may to visit me.
He took the bus here, and we decided to go for a walk
And after we turned a corner, a van pulled up,
And four guys got out of the car and grabbed us
And put hoods over us, threw us into the car,
And told us to be quiet, and started beating up josé.
- A group of unknown men took her and, uh, josé
In a vehicle, and then they took them
To either the forest preserve or some wooded area
On the southwest side of the city
Where josé was killed.
- She said that they dismembered the body
While daisy was there.
She said that they threw the body in plastic bags
And uh, got rid of it by a forest.
- She says I believe that was cartel or gang-related,
That they had it out for josé for some, um, unknown reason.
She had managed to escape and get away
From these unknown men.
- She indicated that she thinks they're part of
The zetas gang in honduras,
Which is a pretty vicious gang
That operates in central america.
She said she was extremely afraid,
That's why she didn't mention anything to anyone.
It was a crazy story and it opened up a whole slew
Of other possibilities.
- Narrator: Coming up.
Detectives descend upon the alleged crime scene.
- I'm going to try to verify as many of the facts
As I possibly can.
- They went out with a ton of detectives and the dogs.
- Narrator: And a new witness emerges with a shocking tale.
- He said, "this is what they do. They kill people.
We don't wanna be next."
- ♪
- Narrator: Less than three months
After the disappearance of josé reyes ramos,
Daisy gutierrez has just given chicago detectives
A harrowing tale of his abduction and subsequent death,
Suggesting it was gang motivated.
- Chicago has a gang problem and a crime problem.
I mean, that's no secret.
Obviously, I feel we have to ask,
Was he a gang member?
Did he get into a beef with anybody recently?
- Narrator: Though daisy's story is compelling,
Detectives have their doubts.
- I feel one of the most important things
About being a police officer and a detective,
Is always consider your source, she's lied to us in the past.
- I did think to myself, why would she make up
Such an elaborate story, you know, uh, because
She must know that I'm going to try to verify
As many of the facts as I possibly can.
- Narrator: As a start, detectives ask daisy
To take them to the forest preserve
Where she says josé was killed.
- They went out with a ton of detectives and the dogs,
And they didn't discover anything.
- We weren't able to obtain any type of crime scene
Or anything that could corroborate that part
That she was telling us of josé reyes being murdered.
- Narrator: Still, after working the case for several months,
Detectives know they are more than likely
Working a homicide.
- The fact that she put herself in the middle of something
That might've ended violently for josé.
I thought that maybe, you know, josé is- is- is gone.
- Narrator: Despite their worst fears,
Detectives work to obtain concrete evidence.
Finally, on October 4, 2013,
Less than 5 months after josé's disappearance,
They get some answers.
- Daisy reached out to law enforcement again.
- She said that she was lying.
She knew what happened, and she came forward
Because she was mad at milton. We were really surprised.
- I brought her into a interview room.
She indicated to me that her and josé, uh,
Did have some type of romantic relationship,
But she had, uh, developed a romantic relationship
With milton miranda.
She said that she really liked this guy milton,
And she was kind of tired of josé always pestering her.
And she would tell milton that.
- José had been in communication with daisy
And had been texting with her and had a romantic interest.
Milton knew about josé texting her
And communicating with her, and milton did not like this
And wanted to do something about it.
- At some point she invites milton to come to chicago,
Uh, to- to visit her.
Milton and her get into a conversation about josé.
And milton says, you're texting him,
And that's disrespectful. Uh, and she's like, "I love you.
I don't care for him." and she says,
"I'll prove it to you. I'll call him over here,
"and, you know, when he gets here,
You could beat him up."
- Narrator: Daisy tells detectives
That at milton's request,
She invited josé over to her parent's house
On the night of may 21st.
- She says that he arrives at the house
And that she's in the bedroom with him,
And milton is hiding in the closet of the bedroom.
And she starts kinda taking her clothes off,
You know, to entice josé. And the plan was
That milton's gonna pop out of the closet and beat him up.
- Milton miranda came through the door
With a metal pipe
And began to beat josé reyes.
- According to daisy, he used the metal object
To initially bludgeon josé, and then,
He used a knife from the kitchen
To stab him, to slit his throat.
- He stabs him and he falls to the bed
And basically, milton stabs josé to death.
- Daisy said she was shocked and in disbelief.
- She was saying she had no idea that he was going to be killed.
- She tells the police,
That wasn't what she understood milton was going to do.
That she was surprised and that she was terrified
At that point in time, because she realized
That in fact milton was a dangerous person.
She's afraid if she doesn't cooperate with milton,
That something bad's going to happen to her.
- Narrator: Though detectives believe
They are getting closer to the truth,
They still sense daisy is more culpable
Than she's letting on.
- She's putting all of the blame,
Or all of the responsibility and everything onto milton.
- Daisy says that she thought that he was just
Gonna beat him up. I don't believe that.
You know, you don't have a pipe and a knife ready
Just to beat somebody up.
- Narrator: When detectives confront daisy
With their suspicions, her confident demeanor
Begins to break down.
- She felt the pressure from me
Constantly disputing her stories that she was telling me.
She said, "okay, yes, you know, I knew that the only way
"to get them out of my life is to get rid of him,
"so, you- I knew that he was
Going to pop out of the closet and stab him."
She said josé is laying on the bed, uh, and he's dead.
And the bed is completely saturated with blood,
And she's looking at him like, what are we gonna do now?
And suddenly, she says that
Her father, mother, and brother arrive.
She says that her mom and her brother go into
The parent's bedroom and stay there.
- Narrator: Daisy says she enlisted her father's help
In a grisly task.
- She says that she was just basically watching
As milton, uh, cut the body into pieces,
Then her father kinda helped hold some of the pieces down.
She said that she helped bag so many pieces
As they were cut- cut up.
I'm thinking to myself, "okay, that first story
"of being kidnapped was crazy. This story is, you know,
100 times crazier."
- Narrator: According to daisy,
José's burial site is close to home.
- Her mother recently dug out, uh,
A little garden in their backyard.
So, they said, we'll just dig it out some more,
Put the garbage bags in there and then cover it up
And then, you know, she could plant her flowers there.
So she said that's what they did.
- Narrator: Daisy tells detectives,
After burying the dismembered body,
She and milton tried to cover their tracks.
- She claimed that they cleaned everything up.
They threw out the mattress because it was full of blood.
And then her and, uh, milton decided, uh, the following day
To take a greyhound bus back to new jersey.
- Narrator: But daisy says her relationship with milton
Was shaken by the crime.
- Once milton and daisy got to new jersey,
The relationship did not, uh, last long.
Um, milton in fact broke up with daisy.
- So she decided she was gonna come back to chicago
And tell the police that milton really did kill josé.
- I do believe she may have indicated that
She, um, wanted to turn milton in
And see milton caught or arrested.
In reality, daisy was equally interested
In luring josé over to the house knowing full well
That milton's plan was in fact to kill josé.
- When she talked about her involvement in this thing,
She was under arrest.
- Narrator: Coming up.
Detectives finally locate josé.
- I see this stick coming up
With a piece of black garbage bag
And something in the ground that is rotting.
- I mean, it it was horrific.

- Narrator: October 4, 2013.
Investigators descend upon the gutierrez family home
Following a confession from daisy
That she and her boyfriend, 22-year-old milton miranda,
Brutally murdered josé reyes ramos
And buried him in her parent's backyard.
- I take a team of detectives with me.
I arrived to her home, and I'm greeted by her mom.
I said we're prepared to dig out the entire yard,
But I'd like to see if she could direct me
As to where this garden was.
- Daisy gutierrez's mother came outside
And pointed to a garden area,
And we began to search and dig.
- We're digging and all of a sudden
Whatever we hit, uh,
A bad smell started coming up from the ground.
- Instantaneously, the smell of death,
You know, encompasses the backyard.
And I see this stick coming up
With a piece of black garbage bag,
And something in the ground that is rotting.
- I mean, it it was horrific.
I don't know how anybody can sit there
And cut a human being into multiple pieces.
- We sealed the entire home as far as, uh,
Considered a crime scene, and we get some of the, uh,
Crime lab investigators in there so they could, methodically
Go through the entire home and yard, to gather anything
That we feel may be of evidence.
- Droplets of blood were located inside of the bedroom
On the blinds, I believe on the window frame
Inside of the bedroom, as well as in a, um, a vent-
The grading of a vent in the area where the body
Was in fact dismembered.
- We did take some other objects that, uh, we suspected
Might have been used, in the mutilation, you know,
Tools and cutting instruments and et cetera.
Her mom denied knowing it was back there.
She indicated that she had no idea what occurred,
And she never saw an- anything.
- Narrator: The remains and recovered evidence
From the house are transported
To the crime lab for further analysis.
- Of course, we weren't certain it was josé until, you know,
Dna results came back, but we presumed it was.
- Narrator: As they await confirmation,
Detectives arrest daisy's father,
56-year-old salvador gutierrez
And bring him in for questioning.
Under pressure, salvador admits to helping bury josé's body
- He said that when he got back to the house,
Daisy took him into the room and says,
"I gotta show you something." and he went to the room,
And that's where josé was laying face up on the bed.
- I think the father was led to believe
That the victim was harassing daisy.
He claims that, uh, you know, that milton forced him to,
You know, help him.
- He said that daisy told him that miranda was in a gang,
And this is what they do, they kill people.
He was scared that something was gonna happen
To him or his family, so he went along with the whole thing.
He believed that he was helping his daughter
Stay out of trouble.
- Narrator: Salvador tells detectives
After that, he bought bus tickets for milton and daisy
And told them to never come back.
- She was kicked out after this crime had occurred
And sent back to new jersey with milton,
The children stayed, um, with her mother.
- Narrator: It appears salvador is telling the truth,
With perhaps one exception.
- He's telling it just like a story.
But I don't recall, oh my god, you know what I mean?
This is disgusting. You know, he said he was forced
But I don't know how much.

Investigators finally receive word from the medical examiner.
- Police could be certain that this was in fact
The remains of josé.

- Narrator: As josé's family grieves,
Detectives reach out to their counterparts
In new jersey, milton's last known location.
- He's a flight risk because he came from honduras.
He was not here legally, he's not in chicago,
He's- he's out of the state and obviously,
There is a concern then that he could easily
Leave the country.
- Narrator: Luckily, new jersey detectives
Are able to move in fast before milton has a chance to flee.
- At the time of his arrest, he was working in a bakery,
Um, in this town in new jersey.
- I went down to go interview him.
He agreed to give me a statement.
He's got a kind of bit of a
Tough guy personality, initially.
After some time of blatantly denying
Any involvement in anything,
He just slammed his hands on the table and he's like,
"fine, you know, I'll just tell you what happened."
He finally opened up and confessed
To his involvement in the entire incident.
- He had no remorse, and in fact, in his interview,
I believe that milton bragged that he had been involved
In a gang in central america.
That's where he learned how to do this
In terms of dismembering a body, disposing of a body.
- Narrator: Coming up:
The three suspects scramble to save themselves.

She was going to have to testify against milton.

Question if justice will ever be served.

And concealing a death related to a homicide.
Daisy gutierrez was charged with first-degree murder
And also concealing a death.
And salvador gutierrez, daisy's father, was charged with
Concealing a death related to a homicide.
- Narrator: However, detectives still believe
There is one person at the center of the case
With a twisted motive.
- Daisy was trying to mess around with josé
Because she was trying to get back at josé's brother.
She was trying to make him mad,
And I guess that just wasn't enough for her.
- ♪
- Daisy's motive was two-part.
Uh, she wanted to profess and show her love
To her new man, milton miranda.
And she felt that by luring josé to the house
And essentially having him killed,
That that proves to, uh, milton that, uh, she loves him.
Also, she felt that she needed to get
José out of the picture
Because he was never gonna stop bothering her.
- Narrator: With her back against the wall,
Daisy decides to plead guilty
For her role in the crime to avoid trial.
- She was allowed to plead guilty
To dismembering a human body as opposed to
The count of first-degree murder.
But in exchange for that plea, she was going to have to
Testify against milton, if milton went to trial.
- You have to make deals with some people
If you're gonna have them to testify against milton
And make the case stronger against the person
That actually committed the murder.

Daisy is sentenced to 16 years.

That his ex is set to testify against him,
He too pleads guilty.
- Milton said that, uh, he essentially wanted
To prove to daisy that he was going to
Take care of her and protect her and- and take care of anyone
That gets in their way, and to show his love for her.
- He pled guilty to first-degree murder,
Um, and received 30 years
In the illinois department of corrections.

Takes his chances at trial.
- Daisy's father's motive appeared to be, you know,
I have to do whatever I need to do
To protect my daughter and to get rid of this evidence,
And to get rid of this guy, uh, who according to daisy,
Has been harassing her for a while.
- He claims that he was threatened
And that he only did this,
Because he was in fear for his own life.
- He had an opportunity, multiple times,
To leave that house, and go and say,
"this guy killed somebody in my house
And made me help bury the body," and he never did.
- He was in fact held responsible.
He was found guilty of dismembering a human body,
And he was sentenced to, I believe,
20 years in the illinois department of corrections.
- If anything, her dad should have got the 16.
I mean, I understand he is an accomplice,
But I don't think that this was his plan.
- Narrator: As the case comes to a close,
One tragic detail remains unsolved:
Who sent the "muerte" text to jorge
On the day josé was killed. And why?
- We don't know for sure whether it was
Another slap in the face by daisy and milton
To josé's brother or if it was,
Uh, josé trying to say what just happened to him.
- I am still under the belief that he did that, uh,
Before he passed away,
I never learned anything different.
- Narrator: Though daisy, salvador, and milton
Were convicted and given prison time,
Those close to the case believe daisy in particular
Dodged justice.
- [speaking spanish]
- I think that she should have gotten the same sentence that,
Uh, that milton got, personally.
She's responsible for this poor gentleman's death.
- Narrator: As for daisy's third child,
José's nephew, he now resides with his father, jorge.
But the reunion is in a sea of grief
Over the loss of josé.
