00:00:17,517 --> 00:00:19,436
[operator] 911, what's your emergency?
3
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,188
Hi. Uh, this is Deirdre
with Hancock County ODOT.
4
00:00:22,272 --> 00:00:25,817
-[operator] Mmm-hmm.
-And our guys are out mowing on 75...
5
00:00:27,944 --> 00:00:28,778
[operator] Mmm-hmm.
6
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:31,781
[Deirdre] ...and came across
a weird-looking sleeping bag.
7
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:34,492
And there's something in it
that's tied up.
8
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:40,206
{\an8}The spot where they found
this sleeping bag,
9
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:44,169
it's a row of pine trees
along Interstate 75.
10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,922
I walked up and picked the bag up
11
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,633
and realized that
it was something heavy in the bag.
12
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:52,802
The size of the bag,
13
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:56,556
we thought maybe it was somebody's dog
that they had put in the bag.
14
00:00:57,432 --> 00:01:00,560
And then the only other
thought process that we had was,
15
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,687
"What if it's a child in there?"
16
00:01:04,522 --> 00:01:07,650
We figured we better call patrol.
We didn't want to open it up.
17
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:09,444
[police siren wailing]
18
00:01:10,278 --> 00:01:12,280
The Ohio State Trooper showed up.
19
00:01:13,031 --> 00:01:16,367
And then he opened the bag up
and looked in there.
20
00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:20,080
He did a double-take.
He's like, "I just... I gotta look again."
21
00:01:21,664 --> 00:01:24,000
And he's like,
"That's definitely a foot in there."
22
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:29,380
[Diane Scala-Burnett]
The remains consisted of
23
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:31,800
the lower portion of the body.
24
00:01:32,342 --> 00:01:35,845
I had attached legs and buttocks,
25
00:01:36,513 --> 00:01:40,725
but everything
from the umbilicus up was gone.
26
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:43,978
It had been severed.
27
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:46,981
The person that did this,
28
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:50,235
what are they thinking
when they are separating
29
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:52,445
a human body into pieces?
30
00:01:53,363 --> 00:01:55,156
What's going through their mind?
31
00:01:56,199 --> 00:02:00,912
Humans are capable of very... vile acts.

[Elton D. Carter, Sr.] This is where
my son David's funeral service was held.
35
00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:11,941
This auditorium was absolutely packed.
36
00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:14,777
{\an8}Standing room only.
37
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:18,531
{\an8}Uh, people lining the walls, all...
all in the aisle way.
38
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:24,495
It was really, really overwhelming
to see that many people.
39
00:03:24,579 --> 00:03:29,542
To think that David touched
that many people.
40

-[projector whirring]
-[David on video] What up, everybody?
41
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:38,218
It's your boy Dave Carter
from Lavish Habits Unlimited.
42
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:42,305
I have things I wanna accomplish today,
tomorrow, five years down the line,
43
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:45,600
ten years down the line,
and I have confidence in myself.
44
00:03:45,683 --> 00:03:48,603
Once I accomplish my goals,
I move on to the next.
45
00:03:48,686 --> 00:03:51,689
[indistinct chatter and laughter on video]
46
00:03:56,444 --> 00:03:59,155
[Elton] David was 39 when he was killed.
47
00:03:59,697 --> 00:04:02,408
-[man on video] What up, son?
-[woman laughing on video]
48
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:06,287
[Elton] He was a fun-loving person.
Serious but fun-loving.
49
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:11,918
Tall, handsome, athletic.
50
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:17,006
{\an8}David was my best friend.
51
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:20,885
{\an8}David was the person I would call
for any advice.
52
00:04:21,636 --> 00:04:24,430
He took pride in everything that he did.
53
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,433
David worked very, very hard.
54
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:31,062
He had a full-time job
at a manufacturing plant,
55
00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:33,982
and on the side,
he started his own clothing line
56
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:36,484
called Lavish Habits Unlimited.
57
00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:40,780
{\an8}When David and I met,
we were nine years old.
58
00:04:40,863 --> 00:04:43,074
{\an8}David was a best friend to me.
59
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:46,494
He was someone that I could trust,
60
00:04:46,577 --> 00:04:49,998
but we definitely always kept it
a platonic relationship.
61
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:51,874
We had a boundary there.
62
00:04:53,042 --> 00:04:57,380
David always, you know, wanted to
grow up and have a family, and be married.
63
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:01,759
He was always a very stand-up guy.
64
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:05,847
And once he became a father,
it upped a level.
65
00:05:07,098 --> 00:05:10,184
[Elton] Everything was
geared around his son.
66
00:05:10,893 --> 00:05:13,354
He was a very involved father with DJ.
67
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:18,443
{\an8}The relationship with me and my dad,
I'd say we were like best friends.
68
00:05:18,526 --> 00:05:20,278
{\an8}We were always doing something together.
69
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,408
Our bond was just something
that you just couldn't break.
70
00:05:26,951 --> 00:05:30,121
{\an8}I knew I liked David
when I first seen him.
71
00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:32,540
{\an8}He was funny. He just made me laugh.
72
00:05:32,623 --> 00:05:35,376
We just started going out
and having a good time.
73
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:37,879
I was 19.
74
00:05:37,962 --> 00:05:40,298
He must have just turned 20.
75
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,344
When DJ was born,
76
00:05:45,219 --> 00:05:47,138
David was excited.
77
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,849
I don't even think
he got a good look at DJ
78
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:53,227
before he ran out in the hallway
just screaming, "I got a boy!"
79
00:05:54,312 --> 00:06:00,693
David and I were off and on
from 2000 to 2014,
80
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:06,032
but we remained close
as co-parents for DJ.
81
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:14,665
After that,
David had lots of female friends.
82
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:15,583
Um...
83
00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:19,837
He definitely had his share
of relationships and girlfriends.
84
00:06:21,297 --> 00:06:24,634
Then in the middle of March 2018,
85
00:06:24,717 --> 00:06:30,223
David walked up with this young lady
that I had never seen before.
86
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,519
He came up, he introduced her.
87
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:36,854
"This is my friend Tammy."
88
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:40,733
Tammy and David had went
to high school together.
89
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:45,780
They reconnected
at a mutual friend's birthday party,
90
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:48,991
which eventually turned
into a relationship.
91
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:53,996
Tammy worked for
the Detroit Medical Center.
92
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,165
Also Tammy was a travel agent,
93
00:06:56,999 --> 00:06:59,836
and she did tell me that she had twins.
94
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,758
She had a son and a daughter
who were 18 at the time.
95
00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:08,553
{\an8}[Angela] Tammy and I met in high school.
96
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:12,390
{\an8}David, Tammy, and I
were all in the same graduating class.
97
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:15,768
Her personality in high school
was very bubbly.
98
00:07:15,852 --> 00:07:18,938
At that time,
she was pretty solid as a friend.
99
00:07:19,021 --> 00:07:23,484
But after high school,
a lot of us, um, went our separate ways.
100
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,450
Around March 2018, uh,
101
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:35,955
I found out that David and Tammy
were dating, and it was a brow-raiser.
102
00:07:36,038 --> 00:07:41,127
But, you know, as friends,
we want the best for each other.
103
00:07:41,210 --> 00:07:46,090
And if David was happy,
you know, I was happy for him.
104
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:48,759
They were spending a lot of time together,
105
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:52,722
like being with her, like, every day.
As if you thought, like, "Okay."
106
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:58,603
"Maybe this is probably the one that
my dad is going to be with and marry."
107
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:04,150
I can say that David seemed happy.
I believe they had fun.
108
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:08,279
I believe they had a good time within
the six months they had been together.
109
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:13,826
But she was very obsessive over David.
110
00:08:14,702 --> 00:08:18,456
[Elton] I don't try to get too involved
111
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:21,292
with my children's affairs of the heart.
112
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:26,172
But when we did have a gathering,
she would...
113
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:28,216
watch David.
114
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,927
You know,
if he was talking to somebody else...
115
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:33,846
-[sinister music playing]
-...she would keep an eye on him.
116
00:08:34,555 --> 00:08:37,934
[Tasia] Every day.
Every day we saw David, we saw Tammy.
117
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:39,519
She wasn't far behind.
118
00:08:41,938 --> 00:08:45,233
I didn't care for Tammy
from the moment I met her.
119
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:48,903
Everybody thought,
"Oh, you're the crazy little sister."
120
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:50,530
You know, "You don't like nobody."
121
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:52,740
And I'm like,
"Well, that very well may be,
122
00:08:52,823 --> 00:08:54,700
but I know I don't like her."
123
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:05,795
{\an8}[Samia] On September 30th,
it was just our average normal Sunday.
124
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:10,967
DJ was preparing to go to his dad's house
for the evening.
125
00:09:12,426 --> 00:09:17,890
And then I got a text message
from David saying,
126
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:21,602
"I don't feel good.
I'm not sure what's wrong."
127
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:25,815
"And I don't think
that DJ should come over here tonight."
128
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:28,609
[DJ] I tried to text him myself.
129
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:34,365
Got replies back from my dad,
saying he was sick, and, like, very sick
130
00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:37,201
to where, like,
he didn't want anybody around him.
131
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:40,997
DJ said, "Well, I have some stuff
at my dad's apartment I need to get."
132
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,039
And I said, "Okay."
133
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:45,751
When I pulled up to my dad's house,
134
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,921
I seen Tammy taking out the garbage.
135
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:54,093
I say, you know, "Hey."
You know, whatever. She seen me.
136
00:09:57,638 --> 00:10:02,226
And she ran to the apartment door.
Like, ran.
137
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:04,312
[menacing music playing]
138
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:14,947
And when I got to my dad's house,
the door was locked.
139
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:19,410
You'd have thought since she saw me,
she'd have left it unlocked.
140
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,370
But I had a key.
141
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:28,210
So I went in, and she came up to me first,
like, "Hey, DJ, what's going on?"
142
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:31,922
So I asked her, "Hey, have you seen
my charger to my phone?"
143
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:34,842
She said, "No. Haven't seen it."
144
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:42,308
And I noticed my dad's bedroom door
was closed, which was odd.
145
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:47,146
And then she closes
his bathroom door as well.
146
00:10:48,939 --> 00:10:50,524
Thought that was kind of weird.
147
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:57,239
I say, "Since I'm at my dad's house,
let me just say 'What's up?' to him."
148
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:59,867
You know, stuff like that. And, um...
149
00:10:59,950 --> 00:11:03,621
She's talking like, "Nah, he's not here.
He went out for a walk."
150
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:08,042
Thought in my head,
like, "That's pretty weird. Who's..."
151
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:11,629
You know, "He's sick. It's cold outside.
Who goes for a walk?"
152
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:13,798
Um, didn't make any sense.
153
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:17,134
But I have to make it
to my grandmother's house.
154
00:11:17,218 --> 00:11:19,637
[menacing music continues]
155
00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:21,764
And I just left.
156
00:11:30,606 --> 00:11:33,317
[Roger Davis]
I've known David for 19 years.
157
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:38,114
{\an8}We met at a plant working together
for ten, 12 hours a day,
158
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:39,490
and we became real close.
159
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:44,912
Last time I seen Dave was, uh,
that Thursday.
160
00:11:44,995 --> 00:11:48,290
We had to work Sunday, but Dave...
161
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:50,084
Dave didn't come to work Sunday.
162
00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:53,921
That was just out of the ordinary for Dave
to miss double time.
163
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:58,426
When Tuesday came around,
Dave hadn't been to work in three days.
164
00:11:59,468 --> 00:12:01,387
I was like, "No. Something ain't right."
165
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:05,224
[Tasia] On Tuesday, I got a call.
166
00:12:05,307 --> 00:12:08,227
Roger said, "This is his third day
not coming to work."
167
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:13,232
"So, can you go by his apartment
just to see if he is okay?"
168
00:12:13,315 --> 00:12:15,151
So I called his phone.
169
00:12:16,318 --> 00:12:17,653
Went straight to voice mail.
170
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:21,031
Then I called David's girlfriend, Tammy.
171
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:24,869
I said, "Hey, is David okay?"
172
00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:27,496
She said,
"I haven't talked to him since Sunday."
173
00:12:28,497 --> 00:12:32,877
So Derek, my husband, and I
went over to David's apartment.
174
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,630
{\an8}We see David's car is in the parking lot.
175
00:12:37,631 --> 00:12:43,512
We get to the door, knock on the door.
Nobody's coming to the door.
176
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,932
So, I went to grab the door handle,
177
00:12:47,016 --> 00:12:49,268
and you can open the door.
178
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:51,854
[ominous music playing]
179
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:55,441
So I start freaking out like,
"Why is it open?"
180
00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:58,277
"He always locked this apartment up."
181
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:01,530
At that point,
I knew that something wasn't right.
182
00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:05,367
So I called my dad,
183
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:09,622
and I called Samia, DJ's mom as well.
184
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:14,919
Tasia said, "Dad, I got a phone call
from David's job."
185
00:13:15,002 --> 00:13:16,337
"One of his coworkers said that
186
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:18,714
he hasn't been
to work in three or four days."
187
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:19,882
And I'm like, "What?"
188
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:23,761
[Samia] We all got to the apartment.
189
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:28,599
I was looking around, and I was thinking,
190
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:31,685
"David would never leave
his apartment like this."
191
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:35,731
Like, "He would never ball his sheets up
and just stick them in a closet."
192
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:38,943
[Tasia] We get to David's room,
193
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,946
and the bed isn't made.
194
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:44,657
My brother is a neat freak.
195
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,743
David would never leave
without making the bed.
196
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,663
So I look under the bed.
197
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:56,544
And there's a big, huge red stain,
198
00:13:57,419 --> 00:13:59,839
and I could tell that
the bed had been moved
199
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:02,216
to cover the stain because it's carpet.
200
00:14:04,051 --> 00:14:07,304
And the indentation
from the bed sitting so long,
201
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,348
you could tell that it had been moved.
202
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:14,895
[Samia] And I pulled up
the comforter off the bed,
203
00:14:16,397 --> 00:14:19,817
and that's when
I seen what appeared to be...
204
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:22,611
blood.
205
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,780
[dark music playing]
206
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:28,534
And at the top of the mattress,
there was a hole.
207
00:14:30,786 --> 00:14:32,580
I walked around.
208
00:14:32,663 --> 00:14:36,584
There was a hole in the bottom
left-hand corner of the closet door.
209
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:40,880
Being a soldier,
I knew it was a bullet hole.
210
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:44,258
I realized that,
"Okay. Something's wrong here."
211
00:14:44,341 --> 00:14:46,802
I told everybody, "Everybody out."
212
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:55,769
[Tasia] We went to Melvindale Police
and filed a missing person's report.
213
00:14:57,271 --> 00:15:01,191
We're searching, calling hospitals.
I'm calling morgues.
214
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:04,528
{\an8}[reporter] This afternoon,
Michigan State Police investigators
215
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:07,615
{\an8}were searching for clues
near Outer Drive and Allen Road.
216
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:11,035
{\an8}[Elton] Melvindale Police
taped off the apartment.
217
00:15:11,118 --> 00:15:13,162
{\an8}They had a front loader out there.
218
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:17,458
{\an8}They were actively going
through the dumpster, you know,
219
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:20,169
{\an8}checking garbage bags and stuff like that.
220
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:21,128
{\an8}In the meantime,
221
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:26,842
you know, we were just waiting
for a word from if anybody found him.
222
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,969
[Tasia] And I got on Facebook.
223
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:32,556
"If anybody's seen David,
y'all please let me know."
224
00:15:33,515 --> 00:15:36,268
{\an8}When David Carter didn't show up
for work earlier this week,
225
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:38,020
{\an8}his family sounded the alarm.
226
00:15:38,103 --> 00:15:41,440
{\an8}Police department and the family
are looking for any help they can get
227
00:15:41,523 --> 00:15:43,651
{\an8}from anybody who knows him...
228
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:45,235
{\an8}[Tasia] On that Tuesday night,
229
00:15:45,319 --> 00:15:49,490
after we saw the stain
and the bullet hole,
230
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:53,410
I called Tammy and I said,
231
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:57,957
"Tammy, I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Where is my brother?"
232
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,002
And she said, "Tasia, I don't know
what you're talking about."
233
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:03,837
"I haven't seen him since Sunday."
234
00:16:04,546 --> 00:16:09,760
And she showed no concern
as to me telling her that he was missing.
235
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:13,597
I said, "Okay. If I find out
you had something to do with my brother
236
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:16,767
and me not being able to find him,
we're gonna have a whole problem."
237
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:18,560
Tammy was at work.
238
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:23,273
She just went about her day
just like it was a normal day.
239
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:26,235
She was on social media a few times.
240
00:16:27,277 --> 00:16:29,989
She basically
was just living her normal life.
241
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,949
It was unbelievable to me
242
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:36,328
for a person that had been with him
almost every day for six months
243
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:41,041
for her not to leave work,
and show up with us, and help find David.
244
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:45,129
[Samia] She was nowhere to be found.
You're his girlfriend.
245
00:16:45,212 --> 00:16:48,674
You don't seem to be
as worried as everybody else.
246

{\an8}[reporter 1] An ODOT employee discovered
a sleeping bag along the side of I-75...
248
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,645
[reporter 2] The Hancock County coroner
249
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:04,356
has ruled the human remains
found on I-75 a homicide.
250
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,941
[reporter 3] They suspect the victim
251
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:08,527
might have been
on the side of the highway for a few days.
252
00:17:08,610 --> 00:17:11,405
Investigators are reviewing
missing person reports.
253

Ohio Department of Transportation,
255
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:22,124
had found a sleeping bag in the weeds
256
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:25,294
{\an8}by the berm of the road off of I-75.
257
00:17:30,924 --> 00:17:33,218
Inside the sleeping bag
258
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:38,223
was the dismembered
lower half of the body.
259
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:42,686
All I had was a lower torso and legs.
260
00:17:44,646 --> 00:17:48,108
It looked to me like this male
261
00:17:49,401 --> 00:17:52,196
was either Black or biracial.
262
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,658
His inseam measured 36 inches.
263
00:17:57,326 --> 00:17:59,036
That's a pretty tall person.
264
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:03,165
During the autopsy,
265
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:09,755
we found a very characteristic tattoo
on the left upper leg.
266
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:14,676
It was a tattoo of a pit bull
with red eyes.
267
00:18:15,302 --> 00:18:16,637
That's unusual.
268
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:22,559
So we sent that photograph
up to Melvindale, Michigan,
269
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:25,687
which is where there was a missing person.
270
00:18:36,323 --> 00:18:41,245
[Elton] The Chief of Police of Melvindale
called me and asked me to come down
271
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,414
because he had some questions to ask me.
272
00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:50,838
It was a tattoo that he was
very, very interested in.
273
00:18:51,421 --> 00:18:55,634
I told him he had
the tattoo of a pit bull on his leg.
274
00:18:56,802 --> 00:19:00,556
And I asked the chief, I said,
275
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:02,891
"You found him?" And he said, "Yeah."

{\an8}death is something that's part of life.
279
00:19:14,695 --> 00:19:15,863
It's inevitable.
280
00:19:16,572 --> 00:19:17,573
It's just I...
281
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:21,952
never thought it would happen
to a family member in this manner.
282
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:29,001
[softly] Tough. Tough.
283
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:31,670
Really, really tough.
284
00:19:37,801 --> 00:19:42,222
[Derrick] I assisted Mr. Carter
over to the police department.
285
00:19:42,764 --> 00:19:44,141
I'll never forget.
286
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:48,020
It was just so... so many emotions.
287
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:53,442
So I'm driving back
from the police station.
288
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,529
[voice breaking]
I don't wanna see Tasia's face.

My husband's driving, and he pulls up,
and I see it all over his face.
290

You know, I see it, like,
all over his face,
291
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,002
and he gets out, and he just grabbed me,
and he just said, "Boo, he gone."
292
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,299
I had no... words.
293
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:20,010
Like, I really felt like
I had been gut-punched.
294
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:25,724
My concern was, um... his mother.
295
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:30,354
All of the things that I've been through,
I've done, that's nothing.

I can't think of anything that...

00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:38,153
was harder than telling her
that it was our son.
298

She just broke down.
299
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:46,745
It was like everything drained out of her.
300
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,873
Nothing I could do...
301
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,085

That's all I could do.
304
00:21:04,137 --> 00:21:06,765
[DJ] I asked my uncle, like,
"What happened?"
305
00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:10,018
You know, 'cause I wanted to know.
He wouldn't tell me at first.

I'm like, "What happened?"
307
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:14,231
"You have to tell me. It's my dad."
You know?
308
00:21:14,731 --> 00:21:15,691
And, um...
309
00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:20,821
He said, "Yeah, they found your dad, but...
310
00:21:21,738 --> 00:21:24,199
they found him chopped up."
311
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:25,742
"His body parts chopped up."
312
00:21:28,161 --> 00:21:32,416
I just walked away
and did not want to look at nobody.
313
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:35,711
I'm literally, like,
on the side of the car,
314
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:39,131
slouched down, sitting on the grass,
315
00:21:39,214 --> 00:21:42,718
crying, full of anger and sadness.
316
00:21:43,927 --> 00:21:49,558
My father was a person that I looked up to
ever since I was born.

"Tammy is the key.
She knows what happened."
326
00:22:41,568 --> 00:22:47,157
[Tasia] A few weeks before David
was murdered, he asked my female cousin,

"Hey, you wanna go to the movies?"
328
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:51,953
So they went to see the movie.
My cousin drove.

When they returned
back to David's apartment,
330

David was like, "Oh, my God."
332
00:23:01,963 --> 00:23:06,676
I believe that he knew then
that Tammy had did it,
333
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,470
that Tammy had slashed his tires,
334
00:23:09,930 --> 00:23:13,433
because she must have been mad
that he took my cousin to the movies
335
00:23:13,517 --> 00:23:16,019
and didn't take her to the movies.
336
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:20,399
Like, who... who does that?
337
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,193
Angry female. That's how I chalked it up.
338
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:27,322
"Okay. She's mad.
She's that type of person."
339
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,908
When a person is jealous,
340
00:23:30,534 --> 00:23:33,328
and when a person is selfish,
341
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:36,415
there is no measure
342
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:39,251
for what they'll do.

{\an8}[Samia] On the Friday night
before David disappeared,
345
00:23:47,884 --> 00:23:50,387
{\an8}the whole family
was at DJ's football game.
346
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:55,559
That was the last time I saw David
347
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:58,770
and the last time his sister saw him.
348
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:00,564
Last time his son saw him.
349
00:24:03,358 --> 00:24:07,779
[Tasia] David and Tammy were already at
the game when me and my husband arrived.
350
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:10,365
David was watching the game.
351
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:12,993
[David] Oh! Yeah! Good hit!
352
00:24:13,076 --> 00:24:16,997
David was laughing and joking with us
353
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,875
and hollering at the game
at the same time.
354
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:24,588
We were throwing popcorn
and just having a good time at that game.
355
00:24:25,088 --> 00:24:28,091
David and Tammy had came
to the game together,
356
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:29,843
but weren't together at the game.
357
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:32,679
[Tasia] I asked my brother,
"Are y'all okay?"
358
00:24:32,762 --> 00:24:33,930
"Why's she not coming down?"
359
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:36,183
He was like, "She'll be all right."
360
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:39,644
I just thought maybe they got
into an argument. They wasn't talking.
361
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:44,816
[Samia] I took a moment
and gazed around the stands,
362
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:49,821
and Tammy was looking dead in my face,
363
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:53,116
like, straightaway in my face, and...
364
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:56,870
it just looked like I had saw the devil.
365
00:24:56,953 --> 00:25:01,666
It stuck with me to this day.
I can still see the look on her face.
366
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:07,088
I believe my brother David
broke it off with Tammy.
367
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:10,217
I believe that night
after the football game,
368
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:14,387
whatever they were going through,
that that was the last straw for him.
369
00:25:14,471 --> 00:25:17,057
And he was just like, "You know what?
I can't do this anymore."
370
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:18,517
And she couldn't take it.
371
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:23,313
I believe she was jealous
of David's relationship with everyone,
372
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:27,609
with me, with his son,
you know, with our parents.
373
00:25:27,692 --> 00:25:32,030
I believe she was just ultimately
jealous of anybody he had contact with.
374
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:37,285
But I never, never thought
Tammy would be capable of murder.
375
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:39,120
Never.
376
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,376
[Roger] I think he was
trying to figure out how to leave.
377
00:25:45,752 --> 00:25:48,296
It was taking him time
to totally pull away,
378
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:51,341
but that's 'cause she was so...
so possessive.
379
00:25:53,635 --> 00:25:58,014
She knew that Dave wanted to break up,
and it sparked a madness about her
380
00:25:58,098 --> 00:26:02,561
that's just, "If I can't have him,
can't nobody else have him."
381
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:10,360
[Tasia] I told the police
to look into Tammy,
382
00:26:10,443 --> 00:26:14,614
but the police didn't tell us anything
about what they were doing
383
00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:16,116
or what they had found.

A few days after we got the news
about David,
386
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,384
my nephew had his football game.
387
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:40,849
[DJ] Head coach asked me,
"Do you need time away from football?"
388
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:44,644
I told him, I said, "No, because...
389
00:26:44,728 --> 00:26:46,354
I'm not walking away from that."
390
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:49,816
"That's not something that my father
would want me to do."
391
00:26:51,818 --> 00:26:54,696
The night of the game, it was rocking.
392
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,324
Everyone showed me love.
393
00:26:57,407 --> 00:27:01,244
Family and friends, they all
sat next to each other in the stands.
394
00:27:01,328 --> 00:27:04,247
It's like...
It's like the whole stands were family.
395
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:10,712
There's a quote
that my dad taught me, it was,
396
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:15,133
"Whatever happens,
just keep on going no matter what."
397
00:27:15,216 --> 00:27:19,596
So before that game,
I told myself that, "I'm going to play."
398
00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:21,306
"I'm gonna play for him."

because I don't want it
to hinder our investigation.

But what I can tell you is that
428
00:29:17,297 --> 00:29:20,925
they didn't have enough at that time
to hold her and charge her with a crime.
429

[Elton] Having to let her go, to me,

{\an8}which was in a little black duffel bag
with red straps.

was tied under his chin.

And inside the suitcase,
there was a comforter.

And inside the comforter,
there was the third set of remains.
450
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:04,320
It had upper torso, two arms,
two hands, all the fingers.
451
00:31:04,404 --> 00:31:06,573
You could put the whole body together now.
452

He had a gunshot wound right here

00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:16,416
{\an8}below the earlobe
and sort of toward the back.
454

{\an8}The wound went this way.
455
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:24,674
Exit was at the top of the head.
456
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:27,176
He had a single gunshot wound.
457
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:31,723
Very close range. Almost near contact.
458
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,350
Now I had a cause of death.
459
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:40,440
There was no evidence of defense wounds,
460
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:42,275
no evidence of a struggle,
461
00:31:42,859 --> 00:31:46,529
no other evidence of injury anywhere.
462
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:52,535
You have a tall man, 190 pounds,
and he puts up no fight?
463
00:31:52,619 --> 00:31:54,454
Did he not see the gun coming?
464
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:56,122
Was he asleep?
465
00:31:56,706 --> 00:31:58,958
Was he incapacitated somehow?
466
00:31:59,042 --> 00:32:00,752
I don't know.
467
00:32:02,337 --> 00:32:03,630
Interestingly enough,
468
00:32:03,713 --> 00:32:06,716
he had an antihistamine
in his bloodstream.
469
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:08,968
That makes you sleepy.
470
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:12,055
I believe, for him, it was a quick death.
471
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:21,522
[Tasia] I think that on September 29th,
472
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:23,775
my brother went to bed.
473
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:27,820
Tammy had an extra key
to my brother's apartment,
474
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:31,324
and I believe that she
went in while my brother was asleep...
475
00:32:33,868 --> 00:32:35,453
and shot him in the head.
476
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:40,041
[Elton] There were texts
sent from his phone
477
00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:43,544
to make people think
that it was him texting,
478
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:45,046
but it was her.
479
00:32:45,713 --> 00:32:47,382
I assumed the texts...
480
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:50,218
In the beginning,
I assumed they were from him,
481
00:32:50,301 --> 00:32:53,680
because I wouldn't have any other reason
to think that they weren't.
482
00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:58,017
But when I went back
and really read the text,
483
00:32:58,101 --> 00:33:00,561
how the text was worded,
484
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:04,315
it wasn't how he would have
worded that text.
485
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,653
After he died,
486
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,241
I think the person
responsible for the death
487
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:15,118
was faced with a huge problem.
488
00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:20,540
"How do I get rid
of a 190-pound, 6'4" man?"
489
00:33:21,541 --> 00:33:23,793
"I can't carry him down the stairs."
490
00:33:24,877 --> 00:33:29,674
The lower part of the remains alone
weighed 73 pounds.
491
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:37,515
I think the dismemberment, in this case,
was more logistical to move the body.
492
00:33:38,975 --> 00:33:42,812
He had been separated by cuts.
493
00:33:43,396 --> 00:33:45,273
Nothing like a saw.
494
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,693
These were, in my opinion,
495
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:53,072
probably nothing more
than your average kitchen knife.
496
00:33:55,491 --> 00:33:57,035
But it took some time.
497
00:33:58,286 --> 00:34:03,249
You cannot separate a body

00:34:04,167 --> 00:34:07,795
in a very short period of time
with instruments like this.
499
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,881
[dark music playing]
500
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:16,596
[Tasia] The fact that she could not only
shoot her boyfriend in the head,
501
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,058
but cut up his body,
502
00:34:21,225 --> 00:34:25,772
purchase the items that his body
was ultimately found in,
503
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:31,069
and then drive to scatter them along I-75...
504
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:36,908
and then wake up and go to work
for the rest of the week?
505
00:34:36,991 --> 00:34:40,828
That tells me that she's a psychopath.
506
00:34:44,665 --> 00:34:47,251
We're just waiting on word
for them to go pick up Tammy.
507
00:34:47,877 --> 00:34:52,507
We have the memorial October 27.
508
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,761
Thanksgiving comes. Christmas comes.
509
00:34:57,261 --> 00:35:02,600
And it wasn't until January 2019
510
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:08,564
that we found out that October 2018
Tammy had fled Michigan.
511
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,946
[reporter] Williams has been
on the run since October.
512
00:35:15,029 --> 00:35:16,239
Tamera Renee Williams,
513
00:35:16,322 --> 00:35:20,368
and police say she murdered and
dismembered her boyfriend in Melvindale.
514
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:24,872
{\an8}[Elton] Tamera, if you're out there,
turn yourself in, baby.
515
00:35:25,498 --> 00:35:26,749
Can't keep running.
516
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:32,004
{\an8}And now a hunt is on so intense
they've brought on the US Marshals.
517
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:36,676
{\an8}US Marshals get cases assigned to us
518
00:35:36,759 --> 00:35:40,388
{\an8}basically for people
committing heinous and serious crimes
519
00:35:40,471 --> 00:35:42,807
and that are usually on the run
for that crime.
520
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:45,434
And we go out and locate them
and bring them to justice.
521
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:50,565
This case was extremely brutal
because of the nature of it.
522
00:35:50,648 --> 00:35:54,110
This person was found in multiple pieces,
523
00:35:54,193 --> 00:35:57,363
and it takes a special individual
to do that to somebody.
524
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:01,659
This was calculated. This was planned.
525
00:36:01,742 --> 00:36:04,912
This was thought out.
526
00:36:06,455 --> 00:36:08,666
Tammy is accused with homicide,
527
00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:13,671
dismemberment, tampering with evidence,
and felony firearm.
528
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:16,924
[chuckles] We're talking
about a dangerous woman.
529
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:19,677
The weapon that was used
has not been recovered.
530
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,096
So she's probably armed and dangerous.
531
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:28,311
I learned quite a bit about Tammy Williams
during my investigation.
532
00:36:29,478 --> 00:36:34,859
On October 16th, 2018,
she was seen in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
533
00:36:34,942 --> 00:36:36,861
According to credit card receipts,
534
00:36:36,944 --> 00:36:40,114
made a couple of cash withdrawals
from an ATM.
535
00:36:40,740 --> 00:36:41,908
Had dinner.
536
00:36:41,991 --> 00:36:45,203
I can tell you we have her on camera
at the restaurant.
537
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:48,623
And then after her meal,
she sat there for quite some time,
538
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:50,750
and had some drinks, and everything.
539
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:54,837
She went outside, loaded on a rickshaw,
540
00:36:55,796 --> 00:36:58,883
and had the rickshaw
take her back to a hotel.
541
00:36:59,425 --> 00:37:02,887
She then woke up the next morning,
the morning of the 17th,
542
00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:05,306
went to the train station in Ann Arbor.
543
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:10,269
Took an Amtrak train
from Ann Arbor to Chicago,
544
00:37:11,979 --> 00:37:14,941
loads on a train there
to Penn Station, New York,
545
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:19,737
and checks into a hotel
called the Neptune Hotel.
546
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:23,241
Nobody's looking for Tammy at this point.
547
00:37:24,784 --> 00:37:26,410
When she checked into the hotel,
548
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:29,372
she checked in
in her name with her driver's license,
549
00:37:29,455 --> 00:37:30,831
stayed the night there,
550
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:35,544
and got up the next morning, October 18th.
551
00:37:35,628 --> 00:37:39,715
She was seen on camera leaving the hotel,
552
00:37:40,383 --> 00:37:42,134
and that's the last time she was seen.
553
00:37:44,136 --> 00:37:49,684
Tammy Williams is a Black female, 5'5",
approximately 180 to 200 pounds.
554
00:37:49,767 --> 00:37:51,310
She's currently 42 years old.
555
00:37:51,894 --> 00:37:55,106
[Tasia] On Facebook and on Instagram,
556
00:37:55,189 --> 00:37:58,484
Tammy was always, like,
the master of disguise.
557
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:01,404
One day she had long hair.
One day she had short hair.
558
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:05,074
One day it was blond.
One day it was brunette.
559
00:38:05,157 --> 00:38:07,368
[Andrew] She could have short braids.
560
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:09,120
She could be wearing wigs.
561
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,998
The one thing that's common on her,
though,
562
00:38:12,081 --> 00:38:16,210
is she has a huge rose tattoo
on her left shoulder
563
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:20,131
that basically goes from the elbow
all the way up over the shoulder.
564
00:38:20,214 --> 00:38:22,508
That rose bouquet is gonna stand out.
565
00:38:22,591 --> 00:38:23,843
It's very distinctive,
566
00:38:23,926 --> 00:38:28,806
and it'd be pretty difficult to miss,
cover up, or remove.
567
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:32,643
But on top of that,
let's just say hypothetically,
568
00:38:32,727 --> 00:38:34,186
she got it covered.
569
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,939
That means there's a tattoo artist
out there somewhere
570
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,358
that covered that bunch of roses.
571
00:38:43,362 --> 00:38:46,782
If Tammy was working a job right now...
She was a travel agent.
572
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:48,826
She could have booked your trip
to wherever.
573
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:51,412
She could be working at a hospital.
574
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:53,706
She could have taken your blood yesterday.
575
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:56,334
Let's be honest.
She's not afraid of blood.
576
00:38:58,085 --> 00:39:02,923
It's been a while since
I've spoke to any members of her family,
577
00:39:03,549 --> 00:39:07,428
but every time I have, it's,
"No idea. Haven't heard from her."
578
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:08,929
"Haven't talked to her."
579
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:10,931
And I personally don't believe that.
580
00:39:11,557 --> 00:39:15,227
Somebody is helping her financially
581
00:39:15,311 --> 00:39:19,899
and also providing her with a roof,
a place to stay.
582
00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:22,485
She just did not disappear.
583
00:39:23,486 --> 00:39:26,906
Throughout my interviews
with many different people,
584
00:39:26,989 --> 00:39:27,990
they've all said,
585
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:31,952
"She's always been one of those girls
that needs to have a guy in her life."
586
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:34,663
And that scares me
587
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:40,336
that this woman is still free
after committing this crime,
588
00:39:40,419 --> 00:39:42,713
and she could hurt somebody else.
589
00:39:45,299 --> 00:39:47,510
[DJ] I've thought about that
plenty of times,
590
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:50,304
of going to my dad's bedroom
that Sunday night.
591
00:39:52,098 --> 00:39:53,557
Maybe I should've went in there,
592
00:39:53,641 --> 00:39:58,854
but maybe it was probably a good decision
to not go in there, because...
593
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,817
I don't know, something in me
was just saying, "Don't go in there."
594
00:40:05,611 --> 00:40:09,698
Something probably could've happened to me
if I had went in my dad's room.

She killed my mother too,

because our mother
was diagnosed with cancer

after he was murdered,

00:44:31,877 --> 00:44:34,505
Do you believe in UFOs?
666
00:44:34,588 --> 00:44:37,299
I was like, "Wow!"
667
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:39,259
[man 3] Hey, Josh.
668
00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:41,553
[woman 2] For them to say,
"Josh just got up,
669
00:44:41,637 --> 00:44:44,098
and said he was going to the bathroom,
and never came back."
670
00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:45,557
It doesn't make any sense to me.
671
00:44:45,641 --> 00:44:47,476
There's more to it
than what they're saying.
672
00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:50,938
[woman 3] I think Josh had secrets
just like everybody else has secrets.
673
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:54,400
I wish that whoever knew those secrets
would come forward.
