So that's when I laid on the bed and I was like, you know, but he didn't close it all the way. And I was a bit tired. So I don't know if I put the latch on or off, but it really don't matter because Maury's almost my height and she can easily push that in and

That's when I was asleep. And that's when Brittany woke me up and said, babe, you know, we got to find her. And I'm like, what happened? What's going on? And she's like, I think Laura went away. And then that's when she went outside and started looking.

Well, to my knowledge, she didn't even want to, I guess she wanted to go out. I didn't care. She was just like, I need you for a few, for a few hours. And then those two hours turned to three hours. And then I was just mainly waiting on her. So I think she went out and partied. I'm not sure. Sometimes she has on her work clothes and then she'll change it and go party. So she'll tell me one thing.

Okay?

Okay?

I'm going to tell you from my personal experience. So when I first came around here, which was two years ago when I got back with Brittany, because we were together before she had kids. And then we separated, and then we came back together. My one-on-one relationship with her was, she was a sweet child, but the only thing was her behavioral problems.

I'm going to tell you from my personal experience. So when I first came around here, which was two years ago when I got back with Brittany, because we were together before she had kids. And then we separated, and then we came back together. My one-on-one relationship with her was, she was a sweet child, but the only thing was her behavioral problems.

Like, when she didn't get her way, she would literally, like, punch herself. And it's like, Maura, why are you doing it? Because I first noticed it when Brittany had left and went to go grocery shopping. We were staying in Robin Landon in Decatur a long time ago.

Like, when she didn't get her way, she would literally, like, punch herself. And it's like, Maura, why are you doing it? Because I first noticed it when Brittany had left and went to go grocery shopping. We were staying in Robin Landon in Decatur a long time ago.

that's when I was like, you know, you know, I came to a person, I said, Brittany, you know, she, when I told her no for something, she hit herself in the face and she was like, you know, just bear with me. You know, I'm getting her help. Cause she was going through speech therapy. She did have two therapists for her speech and to help, you know, with her.

that's when I was like, you know, you know, I came to a person, I said, Brittany, you know, she, when I told her no for something, she hit herself in the face and she was like, you know, just bear with me. You know, I'm getting her help. Cause she was going through speech therapy. She did have two therapists for her speech and to help, you know, with her.

And, um, that's, that's my, from the first time I seen word. And then that's when I noticed, um, every time Brittany would tell her, um, go wash the dishes or go take a bath, she'll stomp. or she'll scream to the top of her lungs or she'll kick because it's something she don't want to do at the moment. So it was like, my main relationship was with her was like, hey Maureen, how you doing?

And, um, that's, that's my, from the first time I seen word. And then that's when I noticed, um, every time Brittany would tell her, um, go wash the dishes or go take a bath, she'll stomp. or she'll scream to the top of her lungs or she'll kick because it's something she don't want to do at the moment. So it was like, my main relationship was with her was like, hey Maureen, how you doing?

You know, typically with a child, are you okay today? And then sometimes she don't respond to me and sometimes she don't, but she really don't respond to strangers. And before that incident happened, all I know was Renee told me that Maureen had an attitude and I said, why she got an attitude? And she was like, I don't want to talk about it. She always had an attitude.

And before that incident happened, all I know was Renee told me that Maureen had an attitude and I said, why she got an attitude? And she was like, I don't want to talk about it. She always had an attitude.

And then that's when I left it alone. I was like, okay, when Maura's mad, she don't like to be talked to. So I don't talk to her when she's mad. I try to calm her down and try to buy her things that she likes.

And then that's when I left it alone. I was like, okay, when Maura's mad, she don't like to be talked to. So I don't talk to her when she's mad. I try to calm her down and try to buy her things that she likes.

What I think? I think Maura probably got super mad. Like, it could be a thousand reasons. I really don't know what goes through... I'm not the mother. So I really don't know what goes through this girl's mind. I'm still learning her. So it's like, I mean, it's just been two years. So I'm still learning her and still getting her to accept me because she does realize it was just her in her moment.

So I'm still learning her and still getting her to accept me because she does realize it was just her in her moment.

Now I came into the picture. So I don't know if it probably was different for her. Like, who is this person? Trying to understand who I was.

Now I came into the picture. So I don't know if it probably was different for her. Like, who is this person? Trying to understand who I was.

No, she just tells me, leave me alone. And I'm like, leave me alone. And then when she's done, probably an hour later, she'll probably come back and be like, I apologize. I'm like, you know, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. And then she'll go walk off and then it'll be something else that she's not about. But over these two years, it just slowly progressed.

So I would say like this week was like totally different with me and Ward because she, two weeks ago, started her cycle. So I don't know if that's A part of it, considering the fact that she's autism and female has to have a cycle. So I'm not sure. But I know this one, she was more minimal speaking. Normally she'll ask how you're doing. Yeah, normally she'll ask how you're doing or hey, Dad.

That I knew of since I was little. Wanted to run away, or? Well, the one time she was at school, and then Brittany had to go up there because the teacher said that she had Well, she said the teacher had told her she couldn't do something. And like I said, when you tell her no, she really doesn't like it. She's not your typical, when you tell the child no. So what did she do at the school?

I mean, did an accident happen or something? She went out looking around and she came back. Because when she went out, she told me she walked around. She's like, yeah, man, I'm looking around. Did you see her go walking around? I only saw her go down the steps and go down the side. And by that time, she's already on the phone with me.

And then we were standing outside. A neighbor, I'm assuming she was a neighbor, came up to Brittany and me. And then she said it was some guy in a black vehicle with a box. And there was 10 or 12 kids playing behind there. And he was trying to tell them to come, I guess, towards the car. I don't know. I don't know if that's true.

Oh, never got physical. No? Never got physical. the more she will get physical to herself. To herself, okay.

No, but I wouldn't call the only major argument that I ever witnessed between those two, Brittany and Nicole, the only major one was when she peed on herself and shitted on herself on purpose because I guess she wanted a different attention. I really don't know. I'm still figuring out more about that.

No, but I wouldn't call the only major argument that I ever witnessed between those two, Brittany and Nicole, the only major one was when she peed on herself and shitted on herself on purpose because I guess she wanted a different attention. I really don't know. I'm still figuring out more about that.

No, that was like recently here at the hotel. Okay.

No, that was like recently here at the hotel. Okay.

Well, I do remember the first time, from what I know, I do remember from the first time when I met Maureen and stuff like that, she had said that somebody was touching her. And Brittany took that very seriously.

Well, I do remember the first time, from what I know, I do remember from the first time when I met Maureen and stuff like that, she had said that somebody was touching her. And Brittany took that very seriously.

Well, at first she thought Moore was hitting herself. Sometimes Maura would leave a mark here or a bruise here and she would fear, you know, sometimes like going to the hospital for it. And I'm like, you know, put ice on it. I told her, I said, put ice on it because if it don't go down, then, you know, take her to the hospital.

And I'm like, you know, put ice on it. I told her, I said, put ice on it because if it don't go down, then, you know, take her to the hospital.

And she was like, I don't want them to think that I'm abusing my child and they try to take her away. And I'm like, they're not, but you do have to say something. So I believe she would definitely say something. Yeah.

And she was like, I don't want them to think that I'm abusing my child and they try to take her away. And I'm like, they're not, but you do have to say something. So I believe she would definitely say something. Yeah.

To the Batgirl Hospital? Oh, she's saying that because when Maury would act out, I'd say, Maury, listen, if you can't listen to us, you're going to go, can't say defects, can't say none of that stuff. I'd say, Maury, if you can't play with your sister, to this place, and normally when we say that, we're gonna act right for at least three hours.

Back row, yeah. Okay, a back row hospital. Mainly back row, yeah.

Back row, yeah. Okay, a back row hospital. Mainly back row, yeah.

That helped her calm down for at least a certain amount of hours. if she's screaming or throwing a temper tantrum because neighbors don't want to hear it. The neighbors think otherwise and the neighbors get involved like today.

I didn't take her last night. I don't know why she would say that.

Walking around the hotel. Yeah. Because when she got back, she told me she started walking but calling the police because she was outside.

Walking around the hotel. Yeah. Because when she got back, she told me she started walking but calling the police because she was outside.

She always hears me say, I'm taking her somewhere or take her for a walk or step outside with me if I feel like she's doing too much. So that really hurts me when she interprets it that way from her, because I know, like, she went to jail. I wouldn't purposely take her out, then call you to say she's missing.

If I was in the room today, you guys would not be questioning me if I wasn't in the room. So it's like they ain't calling 9-1-4, but I feel like I'm being interrogated. So it was like, it's just how you're going.

Well, I've been in this predicament before when someone murdered my mother and they didn't come at me like this. When they sat me down, they just let me write everything and they just went off that. But it's like, it's just, I'm just being real with you. It's like how you come at me was, I think you did this. I think you know, you just said it. I know, I think you know where she is.

And it's like, if you've, Think I know them. What are you trying to get me to say?

And it's like, if you've, Think I know them. What are you trying to get me to say?

It's like the fact that you even said you haven't seen Nicole outside. It's like... What camera are you looking at?

It's like the fact that you even said you haven't seen Nicole outside. It's like... What camera are you looking at?

Yeah, Brittany. You haven't seen Brittany outside. It's like, what camera are you looking at? She purposely went outside. Because that's when my neighbor came, opened the door and said, is everything all right?

Yeah, Brittany. You haven't seen Brittany outside. It's like, what camera are you looking at? She purposely went outside. Because that's when my neighbor came, opened the door and said, is everything all right?

I'm not detained.

I'm not detained.

I'm not detained, so I'm free to go whenever I want to. So the fact that I'm even willing to sit with you and go through this, I could have been a bonehead and said, oh, I'm out.

I'm not detained, so I'm free to go whenever I want to. So the fact that I'm even willing to sit with you and go through this, I could have been a bonehead and said, oh, I'm out.

You have a child. But you wouldn't know me. You see what I'm saying? You wouldn't know me.

You have a child. But you wouldn't know me. You see what I'm saying? You wouldn't know me.

No.

No.

So just be honest with me, right? Because I'm not detained. So be honest with me. You're interrogating me because like you said from the initial, I think you know where Nicole is.

So just be honest with me, right? Because I'm not detained. So be honest with me. You're interrogating me because like you said from the initial, I think you know where Nicole is.

This was last minute, taking kids out in the cold and then saying, hurry up. It's ridiculous.

This was last minute, taking kids out in the cold and then saying, hurry up. It's ridiculous.

No, it's the difference between the hurry. Don't get it wrong. Oh, do all the research you want to do. Go find, go dig, go do whatever.

No, it's the difference between the hurry. Don't get it wrong. Oh, do all the research you want to do. Go find, go dig, go do whatever.

Like I said, I've been in this predicament before and I never sat with a guy like this.

Like I said, I've been in this predicament before and I never sat with a guy like this.

I don't know why she said that. You would have to ask her that. So you're just saying she's just making it up? No, I'm not making that up, but they don't like when I get mad, but I don't get mad to the point where it's like threats and stuff like that. Has it ever gotten visible? No, I don't know.

You're around them just as much.

You're around them just as much.

Yeah, I know about Zaire because sometimes if some, well, Brittany doesn't want Maury and Zaire work hard to be around each other because Maury and Zaire wants touch card. And since he's autistic, he doesn't know, like, this isn't right, this isn't this. So sometimes when I catch her doing it, I leave her licking.

Yeah, I know about Zaire because sometimes if some, well, Brittany doesn't want Maury and Zaire work hard to be around each other because Maury and Zaire wants touch card. And since he's autistic, he doesn't know, like, this isn't right, this isn't this. So sometimes when I catch her doing it, I leave her licking.

And then some of the times it's like, it's self-involved, like some of the stuff she fought fell off the bed.

I'm here, and then I'm there, and when I question, it's like, You don't want to know what she did. Do you think mom might be putting those prunes on her? No, I don't think so. No? Because if it was, I would have told Brittany to chill.

Like different objects? No, just like spanking, just like with her hands. Like spanking, she'll probably pop her butt, but never to that extent.

Yeah, like the level of degree that things that get when war is around, it's, because Zaire and Moore would have back-to-back altercations. And if we go to you about it right now, we would have been the ones, oh, you're doing it. So it's like separate.

And I think that's what really got to Moore because we just had to separate each and every one of them because it was too much going on that wasn't normal for kids. So they would fight a lot. Zaire and Moore would fight each other.

It's times where Brittany will go to the bathroom and then all of a sudden you'll see Maureen yanking her hair or it's always something. I'll say like out of seven days a week, probably at least five or Maureen's jumping off the bed, it's thumping or it's always something.

All I'm saying is, just to clear things, I am discombobulated. I cannot give you exact times. If you feel like I wanted to BP that time, Run the camera back to the BP where you saw me with this hat or my dad. Run it back to there. But it's like I cannot sit here. You know how you approach people to try to get something out of someone?

You don't approach people like that to try to get something out of someone because you think so. Then why would a little girl just, why would a little girl? I'm telling you everything that's going on. And then when we come for help, we don't really get help. That's why a lot of people do things and just don't call the cops and handle it their own way.

Because it can flip, just like what it did today. Like my dad always told me, anything can flip with cops. So it just pisses me off because I've been out all day. I've been answering you respectfully all morning. Respectfully all morning. Then I get here and I'm in the room that I've never been in before that I've seen on First 48.

and being chastised with questions trying to make me, I think you did it. As soon as he said that, it broke me to the core. Because if I did, I damn sure wouldn't be in that hotel. I would be gone, on the run.

I stuck around and I talked, and he's telling him, my daughter, I'll be here. Dude, that's you. But I know with me, when the police said they looked, okay, I'm going to look too. I'm not going to be here all night. answering the same questions, not on new questions, these same questions. And oh, it's not adding up with Brittany. At the end of the day, that's Brittany's daughter.

I'm just, I'm not even the real biological father. None of me is on paper with them, with those kids. They don't have my last name, nothing. So why should my, my things just be ran through? Where you been here? Why you been driving here? Why was this over here? Why was that over? I'm not going to keep answering that. I'm not a cop. If I wanted to be one, I would have been wearing that badge easily.

I have no record. Easy to become a cop. I know it is. I know you guys ran me. I'm clean. There's nothing on me. I'm a good citizen. And I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my fucking girlfriend daughter run out. I'm not going to do that. Now I'm going to take better protocols and get a camera for my kids. But it's messed up, man.

I just want to go get our phone because we have to pay our room the next day. We work day by day to pay the room. And it look even more messed up. We coming back from cops containing us all day. And now we got to hustle up. We don't have family like that. I told you I'm a black sheep of the family. So is she. That's why we're sticking together and we're trying to work this out.

We thought we could trust you guys. That's why we called you. We didn't call you to be chastised. The information I gave you, the information she gave you, when she woke up, she was not there. That's it. You can flip the bed. You guys checked the bed 10 times. Go flip it again. We give you permission to go in there.

If you guys asked us, but you guys kept coming in, kept coming in, which you know you got to have a warrant to come in anyway, but we opened the door and let you come in. So it's like, just have some respect for us. It's like, come on, we wouldn't be calling you for help if we, I would have just got away with it. If that was the case, but no, we called for help.

I said, babe, yes, do the right thing. I was just as mad as her. We both were crying, breaking down. I said, babe, let's pull it together because Zaire doesn't like to see us crying. Then he asked questions and he wanted to know how I'm going to explain that to my father-in-law, someone who's autistic. It was really, he's too in the mind. So it's too much.

And they're going to ask about this all night.

And they're going to ask about this all night.

That's my final answer. I don't know. That's my final answer. No, I don't know. Because my family is not involved in this. They don't even know. They don't even know their names. None of their names. They don't know them. I don't communicate with my family like the only people I deal with is my niece and nephew. And that's why I told you it was the mother of them is Diamond Alexis' sister.

That's my sister. They're the only people I deal with. But I'm not going to get them involved in something. And I'm asking for help. And y'all reaching out to people in my family that really don't give a two shits about Brittany. They don't. So I just want to get our stuff and we go. And if you guys can, you know, keep looking. Okay, keep looking. We never said stop.

Okay, keep looking. We never said stop.

Hell, we're going to figure out stuff, too, because she has police in her family. So I'm quite sure she's going to reach out to them, too. We're not just going to sit back and let this ride. No, that's not us. But I'm trying to be the strongest now because I don't want my kids to see that I'm weak. I'm a very strong woman. If I do something, I'm going to tell you.

I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my child run out. I'm not that person at all. And if you guys want to go in there and ask neighbor after neighbor after neighbor after neighbor, then go ask each neighbor. Because I wouldn't open no goddamn door for no eight-year-old to run out there, and I know she got a business to do. I wouldn't fucking do it.

But I thought I could trust you guys, but we've been chastised for no reason. And it's not right. Because if I didn't want your help, we wouldn't have called you. We would have said we'll figure out together. This is my first time ever encountering dealing with a police. I have nothing on my record. Nothing. I'm 29 years old. Nothing. So why am I, oh, I think you did it.

Bruh, go pull up my record. There's nothing on there. What are you trying to pin me for? There's nothing on me. I never murdered nobody. I never had anything with no altercation with no police. Nothing. But you want to sit here and say, I think you did it because of what my little girl said. She's six. The minute she see me and her mother argue, she breaks down crying.

That's why we don't argue in front of her.

That's why we don't argue in front of her.

Sometimes she comes through and she says, hey, tell your family. Like, asking me that don't matter. Like, why does that matter when a child is missing? Why does it matter when I'm getting picked up?

Because I came back, it did happen. Because I came back.

We've spoken about it.

We've spoken about it.

Nobody's going to tell you because they know you're a cop. That's what I'm telling you.

Nobody's going to tell you because they know you're a cop. That's what I'm telling you.

She's not going to talk to you. So it's like, but my sister's on PO, she's not gonna give you what you wanna hear. That's what I'm saying.

She's not going to talk to you. So it's like, but my sister's on PO, she's not gonna give you what you wanna hear. That's what I'm saying.

You stop here. I'm standing right here, you guys. I'm standing right here.

He came all the way from the church. So as you walk out, he . Fuck your food.

He came all the way from the church. So as you walk out, he . Fuck your food.

Oh, boom.

Oh, boom.

My first? No, I can't remember.

Yeah, I would say between one and six.

When I left again to go see, it was still light out.

Dark.

Well, dark, yeah.

And then that's when she wanted to go to the store and get some snacks and stuff ready for the next day for the kids. And that's when I left again, and I came back.

I didn't go get snacks.

Mm-hmm. The kids are not left alone.

It had to be, I want to say 10, around 10. It was dark.

Yes.

I think she, BP, she lifted to the BP.

Right after that, I leave.

I went with my sister.

Me and my sister? Yeah. Yeah, we went somewhere.

Back to my...

grandma's house 15 30 and took her and your sister drove her car i think it was her boyfriend's car i really can't remember because i remember her telling me that her car was fixing but her car she drives is a white toyota what car did you did you guys ride in it was a black car like a nissan so you and your sister go to grandma's house and about uh what time do you think you left with your sister at grandma's house you said

The time I left? Yeah. As soon as she got back, 10 o'clock.

When I left, I came back at, I would say four hours, because then I came back before five. It was like early months. My son wasn't probably in love, but it was daylight. And that's when I noticed when I

just walked up to the door and pushed us and you know that's kind of strange and then that's when I came in I kicked off my shoes I laid in the bed and I closed the door so you so you get back and your sister drops you off and that's between four and five in the morning and you said you go in and how was how did you get in the room do you have like a key card you use you knock I normally knock but see this time when I went I went like this but sometimes with that door you have to

times with the door, not all the time. So I noticed before I went to knock on my first one, it kind of went in. So that's when I laid on the bed and I was like, you know, but he didn't close it all the way. And I was a bit tired. So I don't know if I put the latch on or off, but it really don't matter because Maury's almost my height and she can easily push that in and

Well, it's like I didn't think to notice that she would go. So I'm assuming when I, yeah, I didn't really look, because my corner, I went straight to my corner, which is on the right side. So as soon as you open the door, my... So you just wanted to go to bed.

Yeah.

She was in bed.

That's when I was asleep. And that's when Brittany woke me up and said, babe, you know, we got to find her. And I'm like, what happened? What's going on? And she's like, I think Laura went away. And then that's when she went outside and started looking.

Well, to my knowledge, she didn't even want to, I guess she wanted to go out. I didn't care. She was just like, I need you for a few, for a few hours. And then those two hours turned to three hours. And then I was just mainly waiting on her. So I think she went out and partied. I'm not sure. Sometimes she has on her work clothes and then she'll change it and go party. So she'll tell me one thing.

Yeah, I went with her to my grandma's house. So did you just hang out with grandma or how'd that work? It's my grandma, my aunt, my niece, my nephew. Then my cousin that all stays in the house. It's like six people. Dad, aunt, niece.

Just really just communicate with. I was downstairs because it's a three-level house.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. So y'all didn't even hang out? Me and my sister, we have a love-hate relationship, but that's my world. I mainly just do it for my nieces and nephews. So if I haven't seen them for a long time, I don't know. And sometimes she pays me, and sometimes she doesn't.

Okay?

I'm going to tell you from my personal experience. So when I first came around here, which was two years ago when I got back with Brittany, because we were together before she had kids. And then we separated, and then we came back together. My one-on-one relationship with her was, she was a sweet child, but the only thing was her behavioral problems.

Like, when she didn't get her way, she would literally, like, punch herself. And it's like, Maura, why are you doing it? Because I first noticed it when Brittany had left and went to go grocery shopping. We were staying in Robin Landon in Decatur a long time ago.

that's when I was like, you know, you know, I came to a person, I said, Brittany, you know, she, when I told her no for something, she hit herself in the face and she was like, you know, just bear with me. You know, I'm getting her help. Cause she was going through speech therapy. She did have two therapists for her speech and to help, you know, with her.

And, um, that's, that's my, from the first time I seen word. And then that's when I noticed, um, every time Brittany would tell her, um, go wash the dishes or go take a bath, she'll stomp. or she'll scream to the top of her lungs or she'll kick because it's something she don't want to do at the moment. So it was like, my main relationship was with her was like, hey Maureen, how you doing?

You know, typically with a child, are you okay today? And then sometimes she don't respond to me and sometimes she don't, but she really don't respond to strangers. And before that incident happened, all I know was Renee told me that Maureen had an attitude and I said, why she got an attitude? And she was like, I don't want to talk about it. She always had an attitude.

And then that's when I left it alone. I was like, okay, when Maura's mad, she don't like to be talked to. So I don't talk to her when she's mad. I try to calm her down and try to buy her things that she likes.

What I think? I think Maura probably got super mad. Like, it could be a thousand reasons. I really don't know what goes through... I'm not the mother. So I really don't know what goes through this girl's mind. I'm still learning her. So it's like, I mean, it's just been two years. So I'm still learning her and still getting her to accept me because she does realize it was just her in her moment.

Now I came into the picture. So I don't know if it probably was different for her. Like, who is this person? Trying to understand who I was.

No, she just tells me, leave me alone. And I'm like, leave me alone. And then when she's done, probably an hour later, she'll probably come back and be like, I apologize. I'm like, you know, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. And then she'll go walk off and then it'll be something else that she's not about. But over these two years, it just slowly progressed.

So I would say like this week was like totally different with me and Ward because she, two weeks ago, started her cycle. So I don't know if that's A part of it, considering the fact that she's autism and female has to have a cycle. So I'm not sure. But I know this one, she was more minimal speaking. Normally she'll ask how you're doing. Yeah, normally she'll ask how you're doing or hey, Dad.

Or later she'll just wake up, go to the restroom, lay down, and don't want to be bothered by her sister's birth. Nobody. So what do you think happened later? I really think she just, God forbid, but I really think that

That I knew of since I was little. Wanted to run away, or? Well, the one time she was at school, and then Brittany had to go up there because the teacher said that she had Well, she said the teacher had told her she couldn't do something. And like I said, when you tell her no, she really doesn't like it. She's not your typical, when you tell the child no. So what did she do at the school?

The school, she literally stood there and pissed on herself.

She walked out the class and just went, but was still in the school, but was like down the hall. Down the hall. But she walked out the class.

Checked the camera, guaranteed.

Really? This morning?

I mean, did an accident happen or something? She went out looking around and she came back. Because when she went out, she told me she walked around. She's like, yeah, man, I'm looking around. Did you see her go walking around? I only saw her go down the steps and go down the side. And by that time, she's already on the phone with me.

And then we were standing outside. A neighbor, I'm assuming she was a neighbor, came up to Brittany and me. And then she said it was some guy in a black vehicle with a box. And there was 10 or 12 kids playing behind there. And he was trying to tell them to come, I guess, towards the car. I don't know. I don't know if that's true.

In a black car in the back that had a brown box in the passenger seat. You remember? And was trying to lure kids in. Which neighbor? Honestly, she looks like a crackhead. Honestly.

I was told she was living there because she came on that level, or she was just trying to be nosy because there was police everywhere.

Yeah, he was trying to, she said, lure them in.

She was a white female, and she had, I want to say, pink nails and pink toes with a gray hoodie and blonde hair coming in front. with like red pimples on the sides of her face.

Gray hoodie.

On the side of her face.

I didn't even see her come out. She was talking to Brittany at first. And then that's when Brittany came in because she was on the phone. And that's when I stepped out there. And then that's when she was telling me about her autistic boy that went missing.

I've never seen her before.

That's my first time.

she said phone call again and i stepped in because i was like this lady's crazy now did she describe the guy that was in the car if you she said he was a black man with a beard and that's the most i got from and i said what happened like did somebody alert or something like that she said somebody screamed out and by that time he pulled off does she remember around what time that was no i didn't she didn't tell you she didn't say like last night but she was talking she did talk to you okay

Like, you mean her whole life?

Like, last night. Literally, like, all I know was Moore was mad. And when you're trying to calm it down, it don't work. You have to let it.

Oh, never got physical. No? Never got physical. the more she will get physical to herself. To herself, okay.

No, but I wouldn't call the only major argument that I ever witnessed between those two, Brittany and Nicole, the only major one was when she peed on herself and shitted on herself on purpose because I guess she wanted a different attention. I really don't know. I'm still figuring out more about that.

No, that was like recently here at the hotel. Okay.

Well, I do remember the first time, from what I know, I do remember from the first time when I met Maureen and stuff like that, she had said that somebody was touching her. And Brittany took that very seriously.

Well, at first she thought Moore was hitting herself. Sometimes Maura would leave a mark here or a bruise here and she would fear, you know, sometimes like going to the hospital for it. And I'm like, you know, put ice on it. I told her, I said, put ice on it because if it don't go down, then, you know, take her to the hospital.

And she was like, I don't want them to think that I'm abusing my child and they try to take her away. And I'm like, they're not, but you do have to say something. So I believe she would definitely say something. Yeah.

To the Batgirl Hospital? Oh, she's saying that because when Maury would act out, I'd say, Maury, listen, if you can't listen to us, you're going to go, can't say defects, can't say none of that stuff. I'd say, Maury, if you can't play with your sister, to this place, and normally when we say that, we're gonna act right for at least three hours.

Back row, yeah. Okay, a back row hospital. Mainly back row, yeah.

That helped her calm down for at least a certain amount of hours. if she's screaming or throwing a temper tantrum because neighbors don't want to hear it. The neighbors think otherwise and the neighbors get involved like today.

I didn't take her last night. I don't know why she would say that.

Walking around the hotel. Yeah. Because when she got back, she told me she started walking but calling the police because she was outside.

She always hears me say, I'm taking her somewhere or take her for a walk or step outside with me if I feel like she's doing too much. So that really hurts me when she interprets it that way from her, because I know, like, she went to jail. I wouldn't purposely take her out, then call you to say she's missing.

If I was in the room today, you guys would not be questioning me if I wasn't in the room. So it's like they ain't calling 9-1-4, but I feel like I'm being interrogated. So it was like, it's just how you're going.

Well, I've been in this predicament before when someone murdered my mother and they didn't come at me like this. When they sat me down, they just let me write everything and they just went off that. But it's like, it's just, I'm just being real with you. It's like how you come at me was, I think you did this. I think you know, you just said it. I know, I think you know where she is.

And it's like, if you've, Think I know them. What are you trying to get me to say?

It's like the fact that you even said you haven't seen Nicole outside. It's like... What camera are you looking at?

Yeah, Brittany. You haven't seen Brittany outside. It's like, what camera are you looking at? She purposely went outside. Because that's when my neighbor came, opened the door and said, is everything all right?

I'm not detained.

I'm not detained, so I'm free to go whenever I want to. So the fact that I'm even willing to sit with you and go through this, I could have been a bonehead and said, oh, I'm out.

You have a child. But you wouldn't know me. You see what I'm saying? You wouldn't know me.

No.

So just be honest with me, right? Because I'm not detained. So be honest with me. You're interrogating me because like you said from the initial, I think you know where Nicole is.

This was last minute, taking kids out in the cold and then saying, hurry up. It's ridiculous.

No, it's the difference between the hurry. Don't get it wrong. Oh, do all the research you want to do. Go find, go dig, go do whatever.

Like I said, I've been in this predicament before and I never sat with a guy like this.

I don't know why she said that. You would have to ask her that. So you're just saying she's just making it up? No, I'm not making that up, but they don't like when I get mad, but I don't get mad to the point where it's like threats and stuff like that. Has it ever gotten visible? No, I don't know.

You're around them just as much.

Yeah, I know about Zaire because sometimes if some, well, Brittany doesn't want Maury and Zaire work hard to be around each other because Maury and Zaire wants touch card. And since he's autistic, he doesn't know, like, this isn't right, this isn't this. So sometimes when I catch her doing it, I leave her licking.

And then some of the times it's like, it's self-involved, like some of the stuff she fought fell off the bed.

I'm here, and then I'm there, and when I question, it's like, You don't want to know what she did. Do you think mom might be putting those prunes on her? No, I don't think so. No? Because if it was, I would have told Brittany to chill.

Like different objects? No, just like spanking, just like with her hands. Like spanking, she'll probably pop her butt, but never to that extent.

Yeah, like the level of degree that things that get when war is around, it's, because Zaire and Moore would have back-to-back altercations. And if we go to you about it right now, we would have been the ones, oh, you're doing it. So it's like separate.

And I think that's what really got to Moore because we just had to separate each and every one of them because it was too much going on that wasn't normal for kids. So they would fight a lot. Zaire and Moore would fight each other.

It's times where Brittany will go to the bathroom and then all of a sudden you'll see Maureen yanking her hair or it's always something. I'll say like out of seven days a week, probably at least five or Maureen's jumping off the bed, it's thumping or it's always something.

All I'm saying is, just to clear things, I am discombobulated. I cannot give you exact times. If you feel like I wanted to BP that time, Run the camera back to the BP where you saw me with this hat or my dad. Run it back to there. But it's like I cannot sit here. You know how you approach people to try to get something out of someone?

You don't approach people like that to try to get something out of someone because you think so. Then why would a little girl just, why would a little girl? I'm telling you everything that's going on. And then when we come for help, we don't really get help. That's why a lot of people do things and just don't call the cops and handle it their own way.

Because it can flip, just like what it did today. Like my dad always told me, anything can flip with cops. So it just pisses me off because I've been out all day. I've been answering you respectfully all morning. Respectfully all morning. Then I get here and I'm in the room that I've never been in before that I've seen on First 48.

and being chastised with questions trying to make me, I think you did it. As soon as he said that, it broke me to the core. Because if I did, I damn sure wouldn't be in that hotel. I would be gone, on the run.

I stuck around and I talked, and he's telling him, my daughter, I'll be here. Dude, that's you. But I know with me, when the police said they looked, okay, I'm going to look too. I'm not going to be here all night. answering the same questions, not on new questions, these same questions. And oh, it's not adding up with Brittany. At the end of the day, that's Brittany's daughter.

I'm just, I'm not even the real biological father. None of me is on paper with them, with those kids. They don't have my last name, nothing. So why should my, my things just be ran through? Where you been here? Why you been driving here? Why was this over here? Why was that over? I'm not going to keep answering that. I'm not a cop. If I wanted to be one, I would have been wearing that badge easily.

I have no record. Easy to become a cop. I know it is. I know you guys ran me. I'm clean. There's nothing on me. I'm a good citizen. And I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my fucking girlfriend daughter run out. I'm not going to do that. Now I'm going to take better protocols and get a camera for my kids. But it's messed up, man.

I just want to go get our phone because we have to pay our room the next day. We work day by day to pay the room. And it look even more messed up. We coming back from cops containing us all day. And now we got to hustle up. We don't have family like that. I told you I'm a black sheep of the family. So is she. That's why we're sticking together and we're trying to work this out.

We thought we could trust you guys. That's why we called you. We didn't call you to be chastised. The information I gave you, the information she gave you, when she woke up, she was not there. That's it. You can flip the bed. You guys checked the bed 10 times. Go flip it again. We give you permission to go in there.

If you guys asked us, but you guys kept coming in, kept coming in, which you know you got to have a warrant to come in anyway, but we opened the door and let you come in. So it's like, just have some respect for us. It's like, come on, we wouldn't be calling you for help if we, I would have just got away with it. If that was the case, but no, we called for help.

I said, babe, yes, do the right thing. I was just as mad as her. We both were crying, breaking down. I said, babe, let's pull it together because Zaire doesn't like to see us crying. Then he asked questions and he wanted to know how I'm going to explain that to my father-in-law, someone who's autistic. It was really, he's too in the mind. So it's too much.

And they're going to ask about this all night.

That's my final answer. I don't know. That's my final answer. No, I don't know. Because my family is not involved in this. They don't even know. They don't even know their names. None of their names. They don't know them. I don't communicate with my family like the only people I deal with is my niece and nephew. And that's why I told you it was the mother of them is Diamond Alexis' sister.

That's my sister. They're the only people I deal with. But I'm not going to get them involved in something. And I'm asking for help. And y'all reaching out to people in my family that really don't give a two shits about Brittany. They don't. So I just want to get our stuff and we go. And if you guys can, you know, keep looking. Okay, keep looking. We never said stop.

Hell, we're going to figure out stuff, too, because she has police in her family. So I'm quite sure she's going to reach out to them, too. We're not just going to sit back and let this ride. No, that's not us. But I'm trying to be the strongest now because I don't want my kids to see that I'm weak. I'm a very strong woman. If I do something, I'm going to tell you.

I'm not going to sit up here and open the door and let my child run out. I'm not that person at all. And if you guys want to go in there and ask neighbor after neighbor after neighbor after neighbor, then go ask each neighbor. Because I wouldn't open no goddamn door for no eight-year-old to run out there, and I know she got a business to do. I wouldn't fucking do it.

But I thought I could trust you guys, but we've been chastised for no reason. And it's not right. Because if I didn't want your help, we wouldn't have called you. We would have said we'll figure out together. This is my first time ever encountering dealing with a police. I have nothing on my record. Nothing. I'm 29 years old. Nothing. So why am I, oh, I think you did it.

Bruh, go pull up my record. There's nothing on there. What are you trying to pin me for? There's nothing on me. I never murdered nobody. I never had anything with no altercation with no police. Nothing. But you want to sit here and say, I think you did it because of what my little girl said. She's six. The minute she see me and her mother argue, she breaks down crying.

That's why we don't argue in front of her.

Sometimes she comes through and she says, hey, tell your family. Like, asking me that don't matter. Like, why does that matter when a child is missing? Why does it matter when I'm getting picked up?

Because I came back, it did happen. Because I came back.

We've spoken about it.

Nobody's going to tell you because they know you're a cop. That's what I'm telling you.

She's not going to talk to you. So it's like, but my sister's on PO, she's not gonna give you what you wanna hear. That's what I'm saying.

It don't make sense that you're calling my family to get involved. It is.

You stop here. I'm standing right here, you guys. I'm standing right here.

He came all the way from the church. So as you walk out, he . Fuck your food.

Oh, boom.
