We'll be in touch. Thank you. You're free to leave. 189 00:11:39,314 --> 00:11:43,984 Alright. Narrator: With Marquie and Felix an apparent dead end, 190 00:11:44,119 --> 00:11:48,956 detectives issue a "Be on the Lookout" for both Lisa and her vehicle. 191 00:11:49,090 --> 00:11:53,727 Publicizing her disappearance was very important. You're getting a description, a 192 00:11:53,862 --> 00:11:58,465 picture of her vehicle out so that citizens can be looking for it or help locate it. 193 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,204 Narrator: Then, seeking more information, detectives turn to Jymikca Robertson, the friend 194 00:12:04,339 --> 00:12:09,943 Lisa was supposedly going to stay with on Thursday night. She confirmed that she had 195 00:12:10,078 --> 00:12:12,246 been texting to Lisa on the night of the fifth. 196 00:12:17,952 --> 00:12:23,724 Based on the timeline, those text messages lined up with when Lisa was at Marquie's trailer. 197 00:12:23,858 --> 00:12:27,928 Lisa was supposed to come back to Jymikca's to stay with her that night. 198 00:12:28,062 --> 00:12:32,833 The details all corresponded with what Marquie and Felix had already told 199 00:12:32,967 --> 00:12:38,372 detectives. Narrator: But according to Jymikca, Lisa never showed. 200 00:12:38,506 --> 00:12:43,911 The next morning, when I still didn't hear anything, I started to really worry. 201 00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:48,749 So, I actually went to Marquie's house by myself to see if she was there. 202 00:12:48,883 --> 00:12:54,621 Narrator: Jymikca didn't find Lisa, but she did find Marquie. Have you seen Lisa? 203 00:12:54,756 --> 00:12:57,791 I thought she came to your house. He said, "She left from here 204 00:12:57,926 --> 00:13:01,895 and was coming to your house." I said, "Well, you know, she didn't come to my house. 205 00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:07,067 Did she go home?" I don't think so. Her mama called a while ago and 206 00:13:07,202 --> 00:13:10,938 said she didn't show up for work. He told me he was gonna go 207 00:13:11,072 --> 00:13:16,877 looking for her, but he had to go buy his child some Pampers. Jymikca's story seemed to 208 00:13:17,011 --> 00:13:21,148 confirm what Marquie told detectives, but something she said did raise a red flag. 209 00:13:31,893 --> 00:13:37,598 Narrator: Her name is Danielle Whitman. There was some bad blood 210 00:13:37,732 --> 00:13:42,069 between Danielle and Lisa. She had a lot of problems with Danielle. 211 00:13:43,137 --> 00:13:44,238 She came over there, and the 212 00:13:44,372 --> 00:13:45,072 baby mama was there. 213 00:13:45,206 --> 00:13:45,472 They had words. 214 00:13:46,908 --> 00:13:53,480 Narrator: But now detectives want to know, did Danielle and Lisa end up having more than 215 00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:53,814 just words? 216 00:13:55,450 --> 00:13:56,650 They both trying to fight for 217 00:13:56,784 --> 00:13:56,950 this man. 218 00:13:58,052 --> 00:14:04,625 You know how girls are. They jealous. So, you know, things gonna 219 00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:04,892 happen. 220 00:14:35,023 --> 00:14:40,260 Narrator: Detectives n Campbell County, Virginia, have learned that Lisa Henderson 221 00:14:40,395 --> 00:14:43,463 has a long history of trouble with a woman named Danielle Whitman. 222 00:14:45,099 --> 00:14:46,800 Danielle had two kids with 223 00:14:46,935 --> 00:14:48,402 Lisa's current boyfriend, 224 00:14:48,536 --> 00:14:49,836 Marquie Williams. 225 00:14:49,971 --> 00:14:51,772 She was also living with his 226 00:14:51,906 --> 00:14:52,439 mother. 227 00:14:52,574 --> 00:14:54,341 Something ain't right about 228 00:14:54,475 --> 00:14:55,309 that picture. 229 00:14:55,443 --> 00:14:56,510 If she's staying at the house, 230 00:14:56,644 --> 00:14:57,010 he's messing with her. 231 00:14:58,479 --> 00:15:03,717 Narrator: But did Marquie and Danielle's ongoing relationship have something to do with Lisa's 232 00:15:03,851 --> 00:15:04,084 disappearance? 233 00:15:05,086 --> 00:15:06,787 Lisa and Danielle had kind of 234 00:15:06,921 --> 00:15:07,220 had words before. 235 00:15:08,923 --> 00:15:13,594 Narrator: To try to find out exactly what may have happened between them, deputies bring 236 00:15:13,728 --> 00:15:17,698 Danielle Whitman in for questioning. I did conduct an interview 237 00:15:17,832 --> 00:15:20,467 with her at the sheriff's office. It did not last long. 238 00:15:23,538 --> 00:15:24,571 She wasn't very helpful or 239 00:15:24,706 --> 00:15:24,905 cooperative. 240 00:15:31,779 --> 00:15:35,482 She was bitter about the whole situation. She didn't like talking with me 241 00:15:35,617 --> 00:15:38,785 at all. Narrator: She also admits to not liking Lisa. 242 00:15:39,988 --> 00:15:41,288 I believe it was just a 243 00:15:41,422 --> 00:15:42,823 jealousy of who she was as a 244 00:15:42,957 --> 00:15:44,057 person. 245 00:15:44,192 --> 00:15:44,958 Could have been that she 246 00:15:45,093 --> 00:15:45,993 didn't want my sister around her 247 00:15:46,127 --> 00:15:46,226 kids. 248 00:15:47,195 --> 00:15:52,232 Narrator: Whatever the reason for their troubled relationship, Danielle denies having anything 249 00:15:52,367 --> 00:15:52,899 to do with Lisa's disappearance. 250 00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:13,720 She said she got home from 251 00:16:13,855 --> 00:16:14,955 work a little after 7:00 that 252 00:16:15,089 --> 00:16:16,923 night, and Marquie was there 253 00:16:17,058 --> 00:16:17,357 watching the kids. 254 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,870 Narrator: Danielle's also adamant that she didn't go over to Marquie's trailer later that 255 00:16:30,004 --> 00:16:33,173 night. A lot of time, Lisa will go on over Marquie's house. 256 00:16:34,575 --> 00:16:35,308 The baby mama will come over 257 00:16:35,443 --> 00:16:36,710 there. 258 00:16:36,844 --> 00:16:37,277 And they'd get to arguing. 259 00:16:50,258 --> 00:16:55,028 She didn't give detectives any information, other than that call was only around 30 seconds 260 00:16:55,163 --> 00:16:58,899 or so. Narrator: After that, the detectives let her go. 261 00:16:59,033 --> 00:17:03,637 But they're not quite done with Danielle. There was some animosity 262 00:17:03,771 --> 00:17:10,077 there, and she was still obviously close to Marquie and his mother. 263 00:17:10,211 --> 00:17:15,949 She was entwined in the family. So, all those things make her a person of interest. 264 00:17:16,084 --> 00:17:19,453 It was entirely possible that Danielle was lying. She could have been there 265 00:17:19,587 --> 00:17:25,058 waiting when Lisa left Marquie's trailer Thursday night. That was certainly discussed, 266 00:17:25,193 --> 00:17:30,564 and the thought ran through our minds. Narrator: Hoping to get a 267 00:17:30,698 --> 00:17:35,302 better picture of what happened Thursday night, detectives subpoena phone records for Lisa, 268 00:17:35,436 --> 00:17:37,838 Marquie, and Marquie's friend Felix. 269 00:17:39,207 --> 00:17:40,741 We throw a big blanket when 270 00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:42,309 we do phone records, just in 271 00:17:42,443 --> 00:17:43,744 case we need to see who's 272 00:17:43,878 --> 00:17:46,313 talking to whom and match up 273 00:17:46,447 --> 00:17:46,646 phone calls. 274 00:17:47,849 --> 00:17:51,952 Narrator: Felix Jefferson's phone records show that he was telling the truth when he said 275 00:17:52,086 --> 00:17:56,923 his only contact with Lisa was through Marquie. There were no phone calls 276 00:17:57,058 --> 00:18:00,727 between the two of them. When we looked at the phone records, there was no 277 00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:05,732 relationship whatsoever. Lisa's phone records also confirmed that she was texting 278 00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:09,603 with her friend Jymikca Robertson on Thursday night. 279 00:18:09,737 --> 00:18:15,876 Those text messages took place while Lisa was there at Marquie's. 280 00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:22,149 Narrator: However, Lisa's phone records also reveal that Jymikca wasn't the only person 281 00:18:22,283 --> 00:18:27,621 she was texting that night. The investigators identified another number, which belonged 282 00:18:27,755 --> 00:18:32,826 to Devin Pearson. Narrator: Devin was an old boyfriend of Lisa's. 283 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,531 Lisa was hurt about the breakup. She was really hurt about it. 284 00:18:37,665 --> 00:18:40,867 Narrator: Do the text messages suggest some sort of reconciliation? 285 00:18:41,002 --> 00:18:46,139 Maybe instead of going over to Jymikca's, Lisa decided to meet up wit Devin instead. 286 00:18:46,274 --> 00:18:50,944 Narrator: Detectives only know one thing for sure. That was the last activity on 287 00:18:51,078 --> 00:18:55,782 her phone. Narrator: When detectives search Marquie's phone records, 288 00:18:55,917 --> 00:19:00,620 they show that he had been trying to locate Lisa after she'd gone missing. 289 00:19:00,755 --> 00:19:07,160 He was blowing her phone up, wanting to know where she was. Narrator: But more important 290 00:19:07,295 --> 00:19:11,932 for detectives, Marquie's phone records also reveal that Danielle had been lying to them. 291 00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:16,803 Danielle claimed she had only talked to Marquie for about 30 seconds. 292 00:19:16,938 --> 00:19:20,640 But the records show that the call was more than just a quick check-in. 293 00:19:20,775 --> 00:19:25,278 We don't know what those conversations entailed, but we do know he was talking to her 294 00:19:25,413 --> 00:19:30,550 for 20 minutes. Obviously, it was now important to find out what they 295 00:19:30,685 --> 00:19:36,523 were talking about. Narrator: However, before detectives can follow up on 296 00:19:36,657 --> 00:19:41,161 either lead, there's a new development. Detective Dudley. 297 00:19:41,295 --> 00:19:46,399 Someone called police and said they had spotted Lisa's care abandoned in Lynchburg. 298 00:19:46,534 --> 00:19:53,473 Alright, thank you. Bye. We had put out, of course, a BOL, Be on the Lookout, for that 299 00:19:53,608 --> 00:19:57,344 car. Once we found that, I knew something was wrong. 300 00:19:57,478 --> 00:20:00,480 My sister, she is not gonna just dump her car. 301 00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:13,610 rator: On Sunday afternoon, detectives searching for 22-year-old Lisa Henderson 302 00:20:13,744 --> 00:20:16,413 receive a tip about the location of the missing woman's car. 303 00:20:17,882 --> 00:20:19,516 At this point, it had been 304 00:20:19,650 --> 00:20:21,251 more than 48 hours since Lisa 305 00:20:21,385 --> 00:20:23,153 had disappeared. 306 00:20:23,287 --> 00:20:26,056 That car was found on Sunday. 307 00:20:26,190 --> 00:20:27,357 It was located over in the city 308 00:20:27,491 --> 00:20:29,259 of Lynchburg. 309 00:20:29,393 --> 00:20:30,794 Someone who lives in that area 310 00:20:30,928 --> 00:20:31,695 called the 311 00:20:31,829 --> 00:20:32,295 Lynchburg Police Department. 312 00:20:33,364 --> 00:20:37,133 Narrator: News of the discovery is no comfort to Lisa's friends and family. 313 00:20:38,903 --> 00:20:40,537 That's when I started to 314 00:20:40,671 --> 00:20:42,572 really worry, and I felt like at 315 00:20:42,707 --> 00:20:44,374 that point something bad had 316 00:20:44,508 --> 00:20:45,875 happened to her. 317 00:20:46,010 --> 00:20:47,544 She wasn't gonna leave that 318 00:20:47,678 --> 00:20:48,078 car on no side, no road. 319 00:20:49,113 --> 00:20:52,649 I was thinking maybe somebody must have kidnapped her or something. 320 00:20:52,783 --> 00:20:58,788 This could be a situation where foul play is involved. Her vehicle's unattended. 321 00:20:58,923 --> 00:21:02,659 She hadn't reached out to her family. She didn't keep her appointment 322 00:21:02,793 --> 00:21:07,263 with her friend. All those things didn't bode well. 323 00:21:07,398 --> 00:21:12,202 Narrator: After locating Lisa's car, detectives have it towed to the police impound lot 324 00:21:12,336 --> 00:21:16,373 for evidence technicians to search. We were looking at any of her 325 00:21:16,507 --> 00:21:22,178 personal property that might be in there, any fingerprints or biological evidence. 326 00:21:22,313 --> 00:21:27,317 Narrator: The search yields few clues for detectives, but it does offer some hope for Lisa's 327 00:21:27,451 --> 00:21:27,584 family. 328 00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:30,186 There weren't any traces of 329 00:21:30,321 --> 00:21:31,454 blood or any other evidence of 330 00:21:31,589 --> 00:21:33,723 foul play. 331 00:21:33,858 --> 00:21:34,724 I tried to stay optimistic. 332 00:21:34,859 --> 00:21:35,692 Even when they found her car, 333 00:21:35,826 --> 00:21:37,560 I'm thinking sometimes people 334 00:21:37,695 --> 00:21:38,161 just go away for a few days. 335 00:21:41,098 --> 00:21:47,637 Narrator: With no leads from Lisa's car, detectives bring Marquie's ex and the mother of 336 00:21:47,772 --> 00:21:52,475 his children, Danielle Whitman, in for a new round of questioning. 337 00:21:52,610 --> 00:21:55,979 Since her interview, detectives had learned that she lied to them. 338 00:22:06,424 --> 00:22:11,227 Rather than the 30 seconds she claimed, her phone call with Marquie the night Lisa 339 00:22:11,362 --> 00:22:16,666 disappeared had actually lasted 20 minutes. You say you talked on the 340 00:22:16,801 --> 00:22:22,605 phone for about 30 seconds. Yeah. He say good night to the kids. 341 00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:24,441 [ Sighs ] Well, here's the thing. 342 00:22:25,142 --> 00:22:26,576 When I confronted her that 343 00:22:26,711 --> 00:22:28,211 the information she was giving 344 00:22:28,345 --> 00:22:29,879 me was not true, I showed it to 345 00:22:30,014 --> 00:22:30,513 her through the phone records. 346 00:22:31,482 --> 00:22:36,086 Can you explain that? She ended the interview and said that she would be obtaining 347 00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:42,692 an attorney. I want a lawyer. Danielle's reaction didn't 348 00:22:42,827 --> 00:22:46,663 exactly convince detectives that she had nothing to do with Lisa's disappearance. 349 00:22:52,670 --> 00:22:57,440 Narrator: However, she's not the only person detectives are interested in. 350 00:22:57,575 --> 00:23:02,545 After talking to Danielle, they also bring Devin Pearson in for an interview. 351 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:08,485 Devin was the man Lisa had been texting with shortly before she disappeared. 352 00:23:08,619 --> 00:23:11,721 He and Lisa had once been romantically involved sometime ago. 353 00:23:29,073 --> 00:23:33,810 He told me that they had been texting and talking a little bit, but that's as far as it 354 00:23:33,944 --> 00:23:38,214 went, that there were no immediate plans for them to be together or to start a 355 00:23:38,349 --> 00:23:38,581 relationship. 356 00:23:45,289 --> 00:23:51,628 They were communicating by text or phone call now. He had texted with her up 357 00:23:51,762 --> 00:23:57,133 until around 11:00 p.m. The same time the text messages had stopped with Jymikca, they 358 00:23:57,268 --> 00:24:01,805 stopped with him, as well. And he had not been able to get in touch with her since then. 359 00:24:20,758 --> 00:24:24,961 He thought that Lisa wanted someone to just listen about she had been thinking about breaking 360 00:24:25,095 --> 00:24:29,465 it off with Marquie. Narrator: And now, in hindsight, Devin thinks those 361 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,901 last messages from Lisa might have been a cry for help. 362 00:24:41,111 --> 00:24:46,015 Detectives are initially skeptical of Devin's claim. If Devin had something to do 363 00:24:46,150 --> 00:24:51,721 with Lisa's disappearance, he would have had every reason to point the finger at Marquie. 364 00:24:51,856 --> 00:24:56,359 Narrator: But then, after the interview, he lets detectives look through his phone and read 365 00:24:56,493 --> 00:25:02,799 Lisa's texts. He was very forthcoming. The context of their text was 366 00:25:02,933 --> 00:25:08,137 about Marquie and the fact that Lisa did not want to be with him anymore. 367 00:25:08,272 --> 00:25:15,311 Just like that, Devin had given Marquie a motive. If Marquie had found the text 368 00:25:15,446 --> 00:25:19,299 messages that Devin was exchanging with Lisa, he'd have probably been upset and angry. 369 00:25:20,935 --> 00:25:23,336 He was this quiet guy, but 370 00:25:23,470 --> 00:25:25,872 behind closed doors, he might 371 00:25:26,006 --> 00:25:26,372 have been the bad guy. 372 00:25:28,075 --> 00:25:33,413 Narrator: Detectives are determined to find out.

It's not admissible in 374 00:25:38,052 --> 00:25:43,323 Virginia, but it is a tool that we are able to use to get to the truth of matters in a lot of 375 00:25:43,457 --> 00:25:46,159 cases.

It was satisfying to place him under arrest. 549 00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:17,736 Narrator: Marquie's arrest is even more satisfying for Lisa's family. 550 00:39:17,871 --> 00:39:22,908 My mom? That's all she wanted was Marquie to be arrested. 551 00:39:23,042 --> 00:39:27,946 So, it was a relief. I was really happy, just happy. 552 00:39:28,081 --> 00:39:33,318 Narrator: Unlike Felix, Marquie makes no further statements to detectives. 553 00:39:33,453 --> 00:39:37,456 Marquie Williams thought himself to be smarter than anybody else involved in this 554 00:39:37,590 --> 00:39:42,394 case. Narrator: Faced with overwhelming evidence, 555 00:39:42,529 --> 00:39:48,367 Felix Jefferson pleads guilty to murder. He got 43 years, with 556 00:39:48,501 --> 00:39:53,872 20 suspended. Had it not been for him, I believe this case would have got 557 00:39:54,007 --> 00:39:58,544 solved, but it would have took a lot longer. Narrator: Marquie Williams 558 00:39:58,678 --> 00:40:03,415 ultimately also pleads guilty. This could have been a capital case because if you 559 00:40:03,550 --> 00:40:08,086 abduct somebody in the state of Virginia, it's one of the qualifying reasons you can get 560 00:40:08,221 --> 00:40:11,256 the death penalty. And that young lady was kidnapped and taken to that 561 00:40:11,391 --> 00:40:15,894 location. No, no, no! So, for him to plead, that 562 00:40:16,029 --> 00:40:21,467 was him saving himself. Marquie was sentenced to life in prison without the 563 00:40:21,601 --> 00:40:21,967 possibility of parole. 564 00:40:28,775 --> 00:40:33,812 Narrator: For Lisa Henderson's grieving family, it's not nearly enough. 565 00:40:33,947 --> 00:40:35,047 I wanted him to get the death penalty. 566 00:40:36,049 --> 00:40:37,115 Be glad he in jail, but he's 567 00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,817 still living. 568 00:40:38,952 --> 00:40:41,820 I'm glad he got what he got, 569 00:40:41,955 --> 00:40:45,457 but, end of the day, it still 570 00:40:45,592 --> 00:40:47,292 don't help me. 571 00:40:47,427 --> 00:40:49,995 I'm not the same. 572 00:40:50,129 --> 00:40:52,030 It put a hole in my heart. 573 00:40:52,165 --> 00:40:53,665 Narrator: It's a pain they 574 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,167 hope no other family has to 575 00:40:55,301 --> 00:40:56,802 endure. 576 00:40:56,936 --> 00:40:58,203 Just cherish and love all 577 00:40:58,338 --> 00:40:59,671 your loved ones, man, because 578 00:40:59,806 --> 00:41:01,440 you never know. 579 00:41:01,574 --> 00:41:03,408 The next day, you might not have 580 00:41:03,543 --> 00:41:03,809 them. 581 00:41:03,943 --> 00:41:05,177 Don't wait to give people 582 00:41:05,311 --> 00:41:06,645 their flowers after their gone, 583 00:41:06,779 --> 00:41:07,012 man. 584 00:41:07,146 --> 00:41:09,314 Let them know, like, "I love 585 00:41:09,449 --> 00:41:10,716 you." 586 00:41:10,850 --> 00:41:11,216 Let your peoples know.
