[narrator] Dia Abrams disappeared on June 6th, 2020.
[Julia] No one knows what happened to Dia.
She's missing. She's disappeared.
[Diana] She left her phone,
her driver's license, all of her credit cards
and a large sum of money behind.
Doesn't make sense.
[narrator] Her family is desperate for answers.
We'll do a search immediately of the ranch.
Maybe she had gone on a hike.
Maybe she got injured.
[woman 1] Would she have run away
because she had so much on her plate?
[woman 2] She was cutting her kids out of her will.
They have been basically disowned.
[Diana] Children were money-hungry
and Dia said,
"If anything ever happens to me,
"my son Clinton did it."
[narrator] This episode ofDisappeared,
retraces Dia's last known steps.
[Matt] But Keith Harper had a whole lot to gain
by Dia going missing.
Who is this guy?
Was there foul play here?
I'm worried. I think he's got connections with mob people.
I mean, he was the last one to see her.
When we kept thinking,
"could he have really hurt her?"
[Keith] You don't kill people you love.
You kill people that you don't love.
[Diana] I feel like I failed her.
And the not knowing
drives me crazy.
[narrator] The more people who know Dia's story,
the greater the chance of bringing her home.
Share on social media.
Get the word out.
Help find her.
Have you seen Dia Abrams?
My name is Diana,
and I'm a friend and neighbor of
Dia Abrams in Garner Valley, California.
On June 6th of 2020,
Dia Abrams disappeared from her Bonita Vista Ranch
in Garner Valley, California.
Dia and I first met
through a mutual friend.
And from that our friendship grew.
We found that we had so much in common.
She's the older sister I never had.
[Julie] I first met Dia Abrams
in either 2010 or 2011.
And throughout the years,
it seemed like we ended up rescuing each other
all the time.
I had a really bad accident, she took care of me.
She had a really gnarly back surgery,
and I took care of her.
Diana, Dia and myself,
we became good friends after that.
I can only describe Dia
with one word
and that word is fire cracker.
She had a presence about her.
Tomboy but yet a girly girl.
Loved her ranch, loved her animals.
That was her pride and joy were her animals.
If there was a dog on the side of the road,
she'd find a home for it.
Dia came out to this area, Mountain Center area
in the mid to late '90s.
Her ranch is one of the most beautiful areas
that you'll see.
[Diana] Dia owns three properties
in the Mountain Center area.
One home was located on a five-acre parcel
in Garner Valley.
Another residence
was the Bonita Vista Ranch
which consisted of 116 acres.
And another piece of property
called Sky High
which was about 20 acres.
She resided between the Garner Valley house
and the Bonita Vista Ranch.
I'm Jenny Kirchner,
and I was a reporter and photographer
for the Idyllwild Town Crier newspaper.
And when Dia went missing
it was probably the biggest story
that I had worked on.
Idyllwild is a small
mountain community
in the mountains above Palm springs,
and it sits surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest.
It's a small population. It's about 4000 people.
And everybody definitely knows everybody.
It's a very tight-knit community.
Everyone cares for one another.
Dia, she is loved by everybody in the community.
Before she moved to Mountain Center,
Dia married Clem Abrams.
He was a wealthy real estate developer
out of the San Diego area.
Dia and Clem separated
when she moved to Mountain Center.
And he passed away in 2019.
[Julia] Dia has two children.
Their son Clinton
and daughter Crisara.
Crisara's couple of years older than Clinton.
I know that Dia loved her kids.
I do.
But I remember
her telling me that
she was disappointed at her children.
And that they could not make time for her.
They have moved away to San Diego
and it baffled her that
children will not have time for their mother.
Just because how her children made her feel, I think
she wanted an emotional partner.
And then Harper came along.
My name is Keith Harper,
I was born and raised in a little town
in Southern Idaho.
Then I went into private industry,
a recreational, outfitting business
out of Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Colorado.
I met Dia in a dating site.
And we had a four-year relationship.
When I actually met her
she picked me up in a Ford truck.
I got in
and when I looked at her I said,
"Gosh, you're a country girl."
And she said, "Why do you say that?"
And I said, "Because you have hay in your hair."
And she looked in the mirror and she said, "You know,
"I fed the horses before I came.
"I'm so sorry."
And I said, "No, that just proves
"to me who you are."
I knew we had something special connected.
I knew she needed help on the ranch
and I offered to come
and actually work for her.
And I fell deeply in love with her.
Dia had told me at one point
that Harper had a criminal past
but that he was not a criminal.
But she was happy to have him there because he could help
around the ranch.
Harper, when he came around I thought it was a good thing
because it was help for Dia.
But it was never really a romantic thing.
There was no affection
between the two.
Uh, usually if you're involved in a relationship
you hold their hand or
smile at them a certain way.
Um, or put your arm around them
when you're sitting in a chair.
It was lacking any type of
physical, emotional activity with one another.
So I didn't know if they were dating or not.
And she goes, "Well, yeah, he is.
"He's more than a friend."
And that was it. That's all I knew.
[Keith] June 6th, 2020,
we were leaving the next day.
Sunday, we were leaving
for Colorado after the weekend,
we've had some great trips
or we went to...
It all has to do with nature.
And she was an enthusiast about that.
Anyway, that was our plan.
She had packed, we were packed.
And I said I'm gonna go out
and mow the meadow.
I had stopped at around two o'clock,
had lunch with Dia. She said,
"You got a minute? I need-- I need to talk with you."
And I said, "Dia,
it's gonna take me till dark to get the meadow done.
"I'm not that far into it.
"I need to get it done."
And she said, "Oh, okay.
"It's not important."
I wish I had that time
to understand what she was gonna tell me
'cause she felt that it was fairly significant.
I kind of discouraged that.
I wish I hadn't done it.
I may have learned things about what she knew,
that she was willing to share at that moment.
And I never
get to do that chance again.
I went back to mowing.
By the time I got things squared away
and came into the house,
it was approximately seven o'clock.
So right at dark.
And I went upstairs and I found her phone plugged in
and no Dia.
Her purse was sitting there.
And I got surprised she didn't take
her purse.
I went out back
and I saw her truck there
and then realized that she's gotta be here somewhere.
I was surprised that she wasn't there
but she had talked about going down to lower
horse ranch and, uh,
uh, going down and exercising the horses.
So I thought maybe that's what she does
she should be back shortly.
It was almost 12:30
by the time I had finished any searching of the property.
When I haven't found her,
I called the Highway Patrolman
and expressed the the concern and he just said, "You know,
"if nothing by morning
"then get concerned."
And so I didn't sleep much that night.
I contacted the Highway Patrolman in the morning.
He told me I needed to call the Sheriff's office
and report her as missing.
[Diana] Sunday morning, June 7th,
I received a phone call from Julie
and she asked me, "Has Harper called you?"
I said, "No, why would Harper call me?"
So I called Harper, I said,
"What's going on?"
"Did Dia spend the night with you?"
I said, "No."
"Well, I can't find her."
I said, "What do you mean?"
He goes, "Well, she was here Saturday.
"I saw her at lunch."
I asked if he checked the Garner Valley house.
He said, "Yes, she's not there."
So I said, "Okay, I'm coming over."
[Keith] Diana said, "I'll be there.
"I'll call some friends of Dia's.
"We'll do a search immediately at the ranch."
You know, my concern was where she was
and what was going on with her.
Maybe she had gone on a hike,
maybe she got injured.
And so all that going through my mind.
[Diana] So we called everyone we could think of
to come help and search the property.
We all went to the Bonita Vista Ranch
and met with Harper.
Her truck is here,
her keys to the truck are here.
Her purse is here.
Her cellphone is here.
So things were not adding up.
So Sunday night,
there was no sign of her and it was getting dark.
So we all decided to go home
and start fresh early the next morning, like, at 6:00 a.m.
I started calling the police Monday morning,
called Monday afternoon
and all the way up until
they finally showed up on Monday night.
[Keith] I said, "You know, we've done
"an initial search of the property."
And I said, "You know,
"I was planning on leaving on Sunday.
"I have some business to take place
"in Colorado on Monday."
Harper said, "I have to leave."
I said, "Okay. Why?"
He goes, "Well, I was involved in a circumstance,
"I'm on probation
"and I have to go back.
"I can't be here for more than a certain amount of days
"before I have to leave.
"And then I have to go check in with my probation officer.
"So I had to go check in with them."
I didn't know what for, and I said, "Well,
"do you think that's such a good idea?"
But I used to be a probation officer.
I know if I had a probationer call me and said, "Hey, look,
"my girlfriend is missing,
"I don't think it's a good idea if I leave.
"The probational officer, I'm sure
"would say it's okay to do so."
[Keith] The Sheriff's Office
said that they would be shutting the ranch down
for the investigation.
And I said fine. You know,
I have to be in Colorado,
so I left.
On Monday, June 8th of 2020
Harper had left the state.
The community definitely had some red flags
on why he would do that.
There was no real answers on why he left.
By that time
Dia's son Clinton showed up.
One of the neighbors had called him
to say, "Hey, your mom's missing."
I remember Clinton
just kind of hanging out in the front.
He never went searching.
He never asked questions.
Which is kind of hanging out the crowd.
Almost like he was searching for pity or something.
[Julia] I never met Clinton.
I only saw a picture of him when he was younger
on the refrigerator
and Dia would speak of him as being
so smart that he was scary.
[Diana] I remember once Dia looked me straight in the eye
and said, "If anything ever happens to me
"my son Clinton did it."
I remember Dia told me that
"if anything happens to me
"Clinton's gonna have something to do with it."
And I never forgot it
'cause that was a big thing you don't forget
where you were when someone tells you something like that.
[Julia] Dia loved her children.
But she did not get to see them very often.
She said they wanted to do their own thing.
She said she was hurt a lot
by the inattention she got from them.
She said they weren't always exactly kind.
She ended up doing the reaching out,
it wasn't the other way around.
And in 10 years, I never met Clinton,
I thought that was pretty odd.
[Keith] She told me
she had a constant conflict with Clinton on the phone.
And to me, he always talked down to her.
I never ever heard Clinton call her "mom",
it was always "Dia".
As if he was talking down to her.
And I remember
being very angry about that. I said, "You cannot
"continue to let him talk to you that way."
[Diana] She was disappointed
because as from what I understood from Dia
was that the children were money hungry.
[Julia] When Dia's husband Clem was alive,
the two of them had an arrangement that
he would pay for the bills
at the ranch.
Then when she got absolutely nothing from that will,
she realized she had to do something.
So in 2019,
Dia filed a petition
to gain control
of the estate that belonged to the deceased,
Clem Abrams, from her children.
The estate is expected to be
worth about $15 to $30 million.
[Diana] She said he was upset about having to go through
the lawsuit with her kids
and she didn't like fighting with them.
She was just disappointed enough.
I'm Matt Owens, I'm a lawyer.
I'm a partner with a law firm
in San Diego, California.
I handle disputes involving trusts and estates,
and I represent Dia's children.
Dia was seeking to throw out
or invalidate her prenuptial agreement
that Dia had with Clem, her husband.
As co-trustees of Clem's trust, her children
had to oppose Dia's petition
because just like any other trustee
would've had to do the same thing,
in order to protect
and honor what Clem had stated he wanted
in the trust document.
Dia's children were gonna be fine
regardless of who won or lost the lawsuit
that Dia had filed.
There was no potential outcome in that case
where Dia's kids got nothing from Clem's trust.
It was just a dispute over
how much Dia was gonna get during her lifetime
and some other nuances.
But her kids were gonna be fine
regardless of the outcome of that case.
[Diana] The lawsuit for
Clem Abrams estate.
I understand from Dia that
Clinton had threatened Dia
in taking away her truck
as it was in Clem's trust.
That was the heaviest thing on her mind
before her disappearance,
was, "They're gonna take my truck. What am I gonna do?
"They wouldn't even give me a ride home.
"Like, what am I supposed to do?
"I can't have transportation.
"Why do they need my truck?"
[Matt] The truck belonged to Clem's trust.
And so, if you're trustee of Clem's trust
and there's an asset out there
that belongs to the Clem Abrams trust,
you kinda have to go get it.
I don't think that there was any sort of
desire to fight over,
um, I think it was like 2006 Ford truck, right?
Like, I don't think there was a desire
to achieve some sort of, like, financial benefit.
It seemed like a trustee
needing to go collect an asset
that belonged to the trust.
[Julia] That was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak,
when they were trying to take the truck away.
Dia stated
that was cutting her kids out of her will.
The reason for that
is why would you wanna help people
who were not willing to help you.
[Jenny] While Dia was in the middle of this court battle,
fighting for that estate,
she still had control over the three properties
in the Idyllwild area.
[Matt] Dia Abrams owned those three properties
that were completely separate apart from the Clem Abrams trust,
they were Dia's properties.
[Diana] About the same time,
you know, about March, I think it was.
She had texted me
and asked me,
"Would you mind being,
"uh, the executor in my will?"
I'm thinking this woman has at least 20 more years
'cause she's in great shape,
mentally just all there,
and it's not gonna be a thing. [chuckles]
So I said, "Sure, no problem."
She texted back,
"I'm trying to get
"Keith Harper to say yes
"to being executor as well."
[Keith] Dia changed her trust
and that the children weren't to be allowed
on the ranch.
They had been basically disowned.
She states their names
and she says, "I leave you my love
"which is worth more
"than anything else I have."
[Matt] Dia changed her trust
about two weeks, I think it was technically 15 days,
before she went missing,
she did not reach out to her kids
in that intervening 15 days
and say, "Hey, I updated my trust.
"Just want to let you know."
Okay? She did that basically in secrecy.
I find that highly suspicious.
[Keith] Dia, she feared
extremely that her son
would do something negative to her.
A lot of the time
she would express her concern
for her welfare.
She says, "You know, I do not feel safe anymore.
"I have challenged Clinton's efforts
"to control me
"and to shut me out of his father's trust."
[Diana] You know, so many things run through your head.
But as far as I was concerned
he still had something to do with it.
Not himself personally.
I don't think he would ever touch his mom that way
or hurt his mom physically.
But he knew people that could or would
just based on Dia's statements.
[Julia] Dia said once that, uh,
I'm worried, I think he's got connections with
mob people.
And in my mind I'm like,
I don't want to hear this
because that's dangerous.
And I said, "Be very careful. I hope that's not the truth."
It's ridiculous.
I mean, it's just ridiculous
to make that sort of allegation against him.
Clinton has absolutely no ties with any sort of
mafia organized crime
or whatever you want to call it.
Once the Riverside County Sheriff's Department
were done on Wednesday,
they called Dia's kids
and said we're done with the investigation.
You can go into the property.
Even though we continuously told them,
"Do not call the kids."
Dia said that she did not want the children
to ever go into her house.
She was adamant about that.
She goes, "Do not let my children in the house.
"All they care about
"are the things in the house, what they can take,
"what they can sell.
"It's all about money with them.
"So do not let them into the house."
So I immediately spoke to Dia's attorney
and he obtained a copy of the power of attorney
and a copy of the trust.
[Julia] I remember Clinton coming up,
it felt like stand-off at the O.K. Corral.
Clinton gets out of the truck,
his lawyer comes out of another car,
he walks up.
And Diana's got the papers in hand.
[Diana] And I said, "Uh-uh".
I said, "Here's the paperwork from the attorney.
"Dia named me and Harper as executor to her will.
Harper, he left the property.
And I have power of attorney, here's the document
that says that I'm acting on Dia's behalf.
And I made a promise to her
that I would honor her wishes,
take care of her property, not let her kids in the house.
This is what I'm gonna do.
We didn't realize at the time
that it was about to get so much worse.
[Jenny] It's only been five days
since Dia's been missing.
But there is a lot of miscommunication
and conflict when it comes to who actually owns the estate.
Harper's left the state at this point
and Diana is on the property.
So she has asked Clinton to leave
and there's still some debate over the issue of the truck.
I said, "You can't leave with her property.
"This is Dia's truck."
The one thing she asked that you do not take.
Her only vehicle.
Dia hasn't been gone long.
What if she came back?
We need to find her.
There was really no emotion coming from Clinton.
If my mom was missing
I'd be yelling and screaming and going,
"Where the heck is she?"
And that's when he said that
the truck was part of his father's trust,
and that he's taking it.
Who does that?
It wasn't worth anything.
It's not like Dia didn't have assets, right?
She had three properties.
If she really needed a truck,
is it really that big of a deal
for her to get a different vehicle?
I mean, I don't understand what the
big deal was about the truck.
Um, other than certain people in the case have
pointed to that as one instance where
they're trying to spin it
and make Clinton look like he was out to,
you know, do harm to their mother.
[Jenny] So there's obviously a lot of
legal and financial conflict going on.
But it's unclear how any of this
kind of shows anything about why she disappeared.
There really hasn't been any evidence
to show that there was any foul play in the first place.
The next morning, we went out on our ATVs
to search for Dia.
Harper came home and he was able to start running things.
No one knows what happened to Dia.
She's missing. She's disappeared.
[Diana] So you start having a lot of
thoughts run through your mind,
like, "Okay,
"what else could've happened?"
"Would she have run away because she had so much on her plate?"
But, no, she wouldn't have run away.
Because she left her dog,
she left all of her other animals,
she left her phone,
her driver's license,
all of her credit cards and a large sum of money behind.
Doesn't make sense.
Then we started thinking foul play.
[Julia] Diana and I, we started to put together
scenarios in our minds.
A lot of things
started clicking here and there
about different persons
and what they would've had to gain,
specific actions that they would take or not take
in the pursuit of finding Dia.
Weeks are going by and Dia's still missing.
But the Riverside County Sheriff's Department
isn't commenting on the case at all.
[Julia] Over time, Harper seems to be more interested
in the property and the ranch
than he was in finding Dia.
I realized I didn't know anything about Harper's personality.
I didn't know anything about his personal life.
I didn't know him at all.
And then, the more we spoke
the more I realized some of the things
that he was saying didn't make sense.
I mean, he was the last one to see her.
When we kept thinking could he have,
could he have really hurt her?
Keith Harper, this is not someone
as far as we could tell
who had any sort of significant wealth.
After she goes missing,
all of a sudden Harper finds himself in a great situation.
He's living on this 115-acre ranch,
his whole life changes.
That's a big deal for someone in his situation.
And then you contrast that with
what did the kids have to gain
from Dia going missing?
Very little. They're still gonna be provided for
under any scenario
based on their father's wealth.
But Keith Harper had a whole lot to gain
by Dia going missing.
There is a lot of attention
about me. I'm the primary suspect
as I'm the boyfriend.
"What about the ranch?"
"Did you kill her because you wanted the ranch?"
God, no.
You know, I've worked on the ranch.
Ranching does not make money.
I know how to make money.
I'm here because I love the girl.
When somebody asks me, "Did you kill her?"
I've had that question asked,
and I said, "Honestly,
"you don't kill people you love,
"you kill people that you don't love."
[Matt] We did work with a private investigator
to do a criminal history check on Mr. Harper,
and learned some things that were
pretty shocking to us.
He had been convicted of
sexual assault against two women in Colorado.
So Mr. Harper ran some sort of business
where he would take people around on a snowmobile.
Based on the court records
he took these two women out on a snowmobile tour.
They alleged that he groped both of them
and the authorities got involved and he was arrested
and ultimately convicted of
sexual assault in connection with that event.
That's what required him to be registered as a sex offender.
He was sentenced to 12 months in jail for that conviction.
I believe he served just short of nine months.
As far as allegations, there's one allegation I have.
That's the only conviction basically I have.
I was wrongly accused of that allegation.
It's blown out of perspective.
But I'll tell you that I was not guilty of that charge.
There's not much more I will say on that.
[Matt] One of the things you definitely want to look at
in that type of case is
the nature of the relationship between Dia
and the person who's now benefitting
under the trust document, so Harper.
Who is this Keith Harper guy?
Was there foul play here?
Did something nefarious happened.
[Keith] You begin to wonder over and over again
how low in the barrel do you have to reach
to point fingers?
And I said the only reason
that fingers have been pointed
because it's pointed away
from where they should look.
[narrator] Dia Abrams was last seen June 6th, 2020.
If you have any information,
please contact the Riverside County Sheriff's Department
at 951-955-2400.
[Julia] A few months after she was gone,
Dia was gone.
We were looking anywhere and everywhere
for what could've possibly happen to Dia.
And I know that the police were looking at Harper
because he's the obvious suspect.
I didn't want to believe it was Harper.
I didn't want to believe it was her son Clinton.
To this point I don't know where to cast suspicions.
To us it was Harper.
We've not really ruled out, per se.
But we don't know him.
[Keith] I grew very fond of Dia and loved that girl.
I can understand their concern.
As her boyfriend.
The husbands and boyfriends are often
the ones they look at,
and most of the time they are the ones
that are involved in the situation.
So I understood what was going on.
[Jenny] On March 16th of 2021,
Dia's kids made a surprising move in court.
So they filed a probate petition
asking to remove
Diana Fedder and Keith Harper
as the trustees of the estate.
So the petition was saying that,
they think that
Harper could be a suspect
in this disappearance of Dia Abrams.
We were trying to
get Keith Harper and Diana Fedder
out of that position as trustees.
We wanted them out.
They're not qualified to serve as trustees.
Harper had been breaching fiduciary duties meaning
he had done things that,
um, were wrong under the law.
They were causing harm to Dia's trust.
[Keith] There's a lot of false accusations
in what they say.
They're trying to point their finger.
I mean, you just can't come in
and just demand that the trust be changed.
You have to have reasons
why that change should occur.
We've learned that Harper started renting out
multiple structures on that ranch
on Airbnb, weddings.
All sorts of things that generated income.
He was depositing into his personal bank account.
So not in the name of Dia's trust
which, you know, any trust lawyer will tell you,
you cannot do. If you're a trustee
and you're receiving rental income from a trust property
you have to put that money in a trust bank account,
meaning a bank account that's set up in the name of Dia's trust.
I finally said, "You know what? I'm done.
"I'm not doing this anymore."
I didn't have the money to fight it
or hire an attorney.
So I removed myself as trustee of the estate.
[Matt] Diana walked away from the case.
So she agreed not to seek to serve in any fiduciary role.
[Jenny] So Dia's body hasn't been found and really
there is no evidence
that anything even happened to her
except that she's missing.
So a lot of finger pointing of
he said she said, but at the end of the day
she's still missing.
So at this point
there's been no persons of interest
that have been released
by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
There's still no clues. There's nothing that's,
that's being shared as far as
evidence or suspects or anything.
But Harper has a lot of things kind of working against him.
There's definitely a lot of speculation on whether he's a suspect
or not. I mean, the community is definitely unsure.
It did really seem like he wanted to prove his innocence.
and kind of clear his name.
[Keith] At that point it's nearly a year
has come and passed,
so I contacted Kelly Snyder
with a group out of Phoenix
that comes in, called the Find Me organization.
[Jenny] The Find Me Group work with law enforcement
to try to connect families with their missing loved ones.
They provide a lot of emotional support.
They also use search and rescue and intuitive resources.
When conventional methods of searching for people
maybe doesn't turn up any clues
it's not really uncommon
to try some unconventional methods
like psychics.
He works with approximately 100 psychics
that help, you know,
make some predictions about these missing people cases.
Even though, you know, Keith Harper might be sort of grasping at straws,
um, you know, it's not surprising that he would, you know,
try any methods he could to help find her.
[Keith] When I talked to Kelly I said, "Hey,
"I've lost a girlfriend.
"She's been gone almost a year now.
"I need your help.
"Is there some way you could
"put her on your agenda to look?"
He said, "You know, I've studied Dia's case.
"We're gonna help you find her."
So as a result of that
Kelly spent six weeks on the investigation.
By the time he comes out he basically says
that he found her where she was.
Kelly said that the body's location was placed
in Lake Hemet.
I remember calling the detective
at the Sheriff's Office.
I said, "You know, you do have a dive team."
He agreed.
I would drive to lake everyday.
The only dive that I see than actually do
is a dive that goes on for about 20 minutes
and go out approximately 40 yards.
You can see the bubbles
where they go out.
And when they had found nothing
I contacted Kelly. I was a little frustrated
on why they had not found anything
under his recommendation.
I was pretty confident that they would.
But she was not found then.
So at the end of the day,
Dia's body wasn't found in Lake Hemet.
And the Riverside County Sheriff's Department
really didn't, um, want to disclose any information
about any evidence that might've been found.
So it's important to kind of remember that
these are sort of unconventional methods
to finding people.
And so they claimed they're only accurate about
30 to 35% of the time.
To be clear,
I can't say that Keith Harper did it, right?
I don't have that information.
I don't have personal knowledge of that.
All I can say is that
his behavior after she went missing
is highly suspect.
And his history
before she went missing
is highly suspect.
But we did achieve the settlement agreement.
I was working with Dia's attorney.
He said, "You know,
"what my recommendation is
"you have to compromise with them.
"They're gonna continue to come after you
"until you have nothing.
"I recommend you settle with them.
"You divide the property fifty-fifty
"and let the pieces fall."
I agreed with that.
The court in their ruling
basically agreed to divide the property
fifty-fifty with her children.
If any one of us are found to be guilty
they're to receive nothing
until such time as the five-year mark
is passed,
or if Dia's located and determined to be dead.
As a result of that, that's where we're currently in
the status of determining
what the status is
and what the ruling of the court really means.
But at least the main litigations
are done for now.
[Jula] To me, the judge made the only decision
he could in this matter.
I don't see how he could make
a different decision at this time
to be fair to either party.
It's been almost three years now.
[sobbing] And so, I feel like I failed her.
And the not knowing
drives me crazy.
Her friends are just dumbfounded.
[sighs]
Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.
Not a day.
To everybody out here watching this,
any information you have,
please call the Sheriff's Department.
If you know anything
and you see what's going on
and what this poor lady had to go through,
please help.
We're looking for information from anyone
who might know what happened to Dia.
If you have information about some sort of foul play
where someone perhaps abducted her or even worse,
that's the type of information we're looking for.
Do you know the whereabouts of where her remains might be,
if that's the situation.
Um, those are the types of things that we're looking for.
Clinton wants the reward posted 'cause he wants
people to come forward with information
as to what happened to Dia.
So if anyone comes forward with information
leading to some sort of criminal charge
or criminal conviction
then you're going to be able to collect a $300,000 reward.
I want this to be over.
I want to have some kind of conclusion.
Uh, I think we're close enough now
that, uh, her case will move forward.
I'm very hopeful with that.
It's interesting.
I don't think you really evaluate
how important the relationship is
until you lose it.
And once you've lost it,
then you realize
how significant that relationship was
and what it meant to you
when she was present.
If I could see Dia again,
I'd just give her a big hug
and cry and just be so happy to see her.
And then, I'd be like, "Darn you for disappearing ike that.
"Darn it! Darn it!"
I would just, oh...
I would just wanna say everything's gonna be okay.
But if she's not here and she's in heaven,
I know that someday I'll see her there.
And I know I'll see her again.
And that gives me comfort.
This missing persons case was unusual
and it continued to get more unusual.
I'm like, "We need to get up there,
"because this is just not like Devonte."
I believe that this area
is known for cults, and KKK, underworld fighting.
I'm thinking every moment where is my baby?
