[Jane Velez-mitchell:] Jane Velez-Mitchell coming to you live from New York City. New police audiotapes from the very morning 6-year-old Isabel Celis was discovered missing. You will hear them only on this show. We`ve obtained them exclusively. Also, new surveillance video shows the man police believe is connected to another bedroom assault just miles from Isabel`s home. Are these two cases connected? Exclusive information next.
[Velez-mitchell:] Tonight, one of the FBI`s most wanted fugitives` mother-in-law speaks out. Did suspected murderer and kidnapper Adam Mayes believe these two young girls were his daughters? Mayes allegedly took off with the two children after killing their mom and older sister. Now his mother-in-law is giving us chilling insight into the mind and possible motives of this madman and her own daughter, the woman accused of being his accomplice. You`ll hear from the mother-in-law tonight. And new developments in the disappearance of little Isabel Celis. Our show has exclusively obtained the police-scanner audio from the morning the 6-year-old girl was reported missing. Are there discrepancies? Did her parents change their story? Then, growing fear of fire in the faucets. Americans against fracking take to the streets of Michigan. Will oil and gas drilling turn their water toxic? Should you be worried? Plus, even Jessica Simpson packed on the pounds during her pregnancy. Now she`s reportedly signed a multimillion-dollar slim-down deal. Tonight, join me in an adventure that will melt off the pounds. I`m offering you a simple, no-stress answer.
[Unidentified Male:] It`s a parent`s worst nightmare. We have very little information to go on here. Missing.
[Unidentified Female:] Six-year-old Isabel Celis. Now on the hunt for missing 6-year-old Isabel Mercedes Celis, searching the home where a 6-year-old girl vanished over the weekend.
[Unidentified Male:] We`re labeling it as suspicious circumstances and a possible abduction. Checking each and every car that went in and out of this east-side neighborhood.
[Unidentified Female:] She was checked on this morning at about 8 a.m. They woke up Saturday, and she was gone. Found that she was not in her room at that point.
[Unidentified Male:] Six-year-old Isabel Mercedes Celis was gone.
[Unidentified Female:] Investigators found, quote, "suspicious circumstances" in Isabel`s bedroom.
[Unidentified Male:] We had a window that was open and the screen removed. The investigation has hit a roadblock. Contacted each and every one of the identified sex offenders that within live within a three-mile radius.
[Unidentified Female:] We have bloodhounds that are checking areas, will pick up any scent of the little girl.
[Unidentified Male:] Isabel`s parent were questioned all night long. The family has been cooperating with us.
[Unidentified Female:] That`s just not a possibility if you knew this family.
[Unidentified Male:] We`re not ruling out anything in this investigation.
[Unidentified Female:] There`s just no possible way that the family would have anything to do with this.
[Unidentified Male:] We place everything in the hands of God. Her mother is beside herself. Still no sign of Isabel, and the clock continues to tick. You don`t think anything like that would actually happen to you.
[Velez-mitchell:] Tonight, exclusive new developments in the mystery of Isabel Celis` disappearance that you will only see on this show. We`ve obtained exclusive audio from the police as they responded to the disappearance and possible kidnapping of a 6-year-old. You will hear exactly what cops said and heard as it was happening, starting with this very first dispatch to Isabel`s home that fateful morning. Listen to this.
[Unidentified Female:] A possible kidnapping at 5602 East 12th. Complainant woke up, and their 6-year-old daughter is gone. They`ve searched the house. The window was found open, and the screen was outside on the ground.
[Velez-mitchell:] We`ll analyze more of this audio, which was obtained exclusively, in just moments, but first another big development. Tonight, Arizona cops hunting for this man captured on surveillance video at a convenience store. Sheriff`s deputies want to talk to him about a nearby, unsolved sexual assault case involving a young girl that occurred around the date that Isabel vanished. Could these two cases be connected? That assault happened just ten miles away from Isabel`s home. Cops say a man broke into a bedroom where three little girls were sleeping and sexually assaulted at least one of them. There are scary similarities between that case and missing Isabel Celis. Both happened in the middle of the night, both in Tucson homes in girls` bedrooms. And in both case, little girls were the apparent target. Now cops want to find this man in connection with the case. Take a good look. White male, 20s, wearing a green, sleeveless shirt, dark shorts. So many developments. Call me: 1-877-JVM-SAYS; 1-877-586-7297. With me tonight investigative reporter and our new JVM contributor, Jon Lieberman. Jon, good work. Excellent work. You obtained exclusively and analyzed these police scanner tapes. And we`re going to go through them with you in depth, because you have found discrepancies between what we`ve been told about the child`s disappearance and what these scanner tapes reveal. But first straight out to KGUN reporter Jessica Chapin on the ground in Tucson. Jessica, what is the very latest?
[Jessica Chapin, Reporter, Kgun:] Well, the very latest is that there is still not very much information to report from the Tucson Police Department. They did release the amount of money spent on the investigation so far; it tops $1 million. They still have about 50 people involved in the investigation, combing through more than 1,000 leads that people have called into their crime-stoppers tips line, but still those searches, the possible sightings, have yielded nothing in being able to track down the missing 6-year-old.
[Velez-mitchell:] Have you seen the parents out there searching at a command post? Or are they pretty much behind the scenes at this point?
[Chapin:] You know, they did make a couple of public appearances last week on Friday. They did sit down with local media. They talked to our station and a couple of others giving a very detailed interview with us. Saturday they were at one of the fundraisers, but since Saturday, really, we haven`t seen them out in the public eye.
[Velez-mitchell:] All right, Jessica, stand by. We`re going to get back to you. Here is more of this exclusive police audio from the scanners, the police scanners, the very morning Isabel was discovered missing. Listen closely to who they say is on the scene of the crime.
[Unidentified Female:] In reference to East 12th, the missing 6-year- old female, light brown hair, hazel eyes, about 40 pounds. Last seen in a pink tank top and navy blue shorts when she was put to bed. Complainant`s actually going to be the sister, and it looks like the mom is en route.
[Velez-mitchell:] Well, that is fascinating. Isabel`s mom was not there. We were told she woke up the morning of Isabel`s disappearance and left for work at 7:30 in the morning for her job as a nurse, and then we were told the father went to wake up Isabel at 8 a.m. and she was gone. But in this audiotape, Jon Lieberman, police are saying the complainant was the sister. Now Isabel has no sisters, just brothers. If the father discovered his daughter missing, why is the father not the one who is the complainant when the cops showed up at the scene?
[Jon Lieberman, Hln Correspondent:] That`s the key question. The first thing that stuck out to me when I listened to the tape was there a huge, massive police response very quickly. The second thing, though, when I started examining it, was just what you mentioned, which was that they say the complainant was a sister, and Mom was coming home. Now, we do know Mom was apparently at work, so Mom`s coming home, but there`s no mention of Dad at all. And Dad clearly was not the one who called 911. And add that to the fact that the parents and the extended family, nobody has been ruled out as suspects. They haven`t been named suspect, but they haven`t been ruled out either. And so we are starting to get a more fuller glimpse of what is going on here.
[Velez-mitchell:] Yes. It`s very strange to me. You`d think it would be the dad. And there you`re seeing some of the family members going in and out of the house as they were interviewed by law enforcement, taken back to the house and questioned by detectives. Let`s get back to this new audio of the police scanner talk that we`ve obtained exclusively, chatter from the first moments cops learned little Isabel had vanished. Listen to this. It`s the first time anyone heard any details about the missing child.
[Unidentified Female:] The missing child from 5602 East 12th, last seen yesterday at 2200 hours. Isabel Celis, number one female, 4 foot, brown hair, hazel eyes, born in 2005, had her hair in braids. Last seen wearing a pink tank top and navy shorts.
[Velez-mitchell:] Now, the key there is that they said 2200 hours. That`s military lingo meaning 10 p.m., OK, but after Isabel vanished the media told us the child was put to sleep and last seen an hour later. Listen to this.
[Unidentified Male:] The child was last seen as she went to bed at 11 p.m. Friday night and then at 8 a.m. Saturday morning is when they discovered her missing.
[Velez-mitchell:] OK. Spell out the discrepancy discrepancy there, Jon.
[Lieberman:] Well, the clear discrepancy is clearly the call came out. Whoever called into police, this female who the dispatcher thought was the sister, but as you mentioned there is no sister. So who is that female? But whoever that female was apparently told police you heard it right there that the last time the girl was seen was when she was put to bed at 10 p.m. at night. But then police came out and said 11 p.m. at night. So who is this mystery woman who police who called into the dispatcher that you just heard?
[Velez-mitchell:] Arthur Roderick, you`re a former assistant director of the U.S. Marshals who has caught numerous men on the most wanted list. I want to get your take on this, because is it we`ll throw this out to Joe Gomez, senior investigative reporter, KTRH News Radio. Is it natural to expect that there are going to be discrepancies with the many criminal cases that you covered, that this is just human nature. People are under the gun. They`re stressed; they`re hysterical. They`re not going to remember. They`re not looking at their watch like they`re they`ve got a dental appointment Joe.
[Joe Gomez, Ktrh News Radio:] That`s right, Jane. I mean, you know, typically, look, you woke up in the middle of the night and you found out that your daughter was missing, I mean, certainly you would be severely distressed. It concerns me that they say that there`s a woman`s voice, you know, on the phone when there was no woman present. Now, there`s a lot of discrepancies in this case that police are still not, you know, fully disclosing. They`re not telling us all of the details in missing Isabel`s case, which I mean, I understand why they`re keeping a lot of this stuff close to the vest, Jane, but at the same time it leads the American public to jump to conclusions like this. So I think we`re just going to have to wait and see what police disclose in the end, but this is really I mean, it`s very concerning.
[Velez-mitchell:] Robi Ludwig, psychotherapist, author of "Till Death Do Us Part." We`re seeing discrepancies. To recap and review, the two key discrepancies, we were told the child was put to sleep and last seen at 11 p.m. The police dispatcher says 10 p.m. That`s an hour`s difference. Also, we`re hearing that the dad was the one who found the child missing, discovered the child missing, but he is not the one who is meeting police who are arriving at the scene, which raises the question why not? Where would the dad be? Now, could he be scanning the neighborhood, running around hysterically, going door to door, looking for the child? He`s not considered a suspect. There`s no suspects here, but nobody`s been eliminated as a suspect.
[Robi Ludwig, Psychotherapist:] Right. As we know, we have to look at the families in this case, because we don`t really know anything about them. And when there are missing pieces of a puzzle like this, especially when it comes to a child abduction, it`s natural to fill it in with the worst possible scenario. Was this father abusive in any way? Is he avoiding the police because he doesn`t want to reveal any guilt? But the truth of the matter is we need more information. And unfortunately, we know it is possible for little girls to be abducted from their homes.
[Velez-mitchell:] It is possible, and this whole thing of the window being open and the screen being out, we have to take a look at that, because that`s what the police were told on these scanners, Joe.
[Gomez:] Absolutely. I mean, you hear in the initial dispatch, you know, whoever called said that she wasn`t in bed, that they searched the house, and they found her bedroom window open and the screen outside. The reason why this dispatch is so important, as well, is police are going to compare all the statements they took initially at the scene with subsequent statements, too, to see if the stories are consistent or if they contradict one another. And therein lies the real important part of the beginning of the investigation.
[Velez-mitchell:] More tape, more discrepancies on the other side of the break.
