Marie to protect james? two months after marie she disappeared, the detectives got permission to look at the cell phone records of all three of them. would they prove tanya was with marie when she vanished and, thus, did something to? her cell phone tower information from the area no. nowhere near marie. so, they check the cell towers for james s phone, and where do you know? when marie sent that last text message saying she was leaving town. both her phone and the pastures pinging off at the same cell tower two blocks from his house. and when marie s was drop mazda was dropped at the airport we had james s phone touching near the airport. why would his phone be near the airport? well either james innocently drove marie to the airport, or he drove her car there to cover up a crime.
they said that she was depressed? yes. what marie could have wild mood swings, they knew that she had a diagnosed mood disorder. did they tell you that she was bipolar? yes, that was bipolar, that she was taking medication that she was overmedication probably because of her giving birth of the child. but there was another prescription bottle to well and they also showed us a bottle that was empty, that was linked to the fact that she had taken that medication and this would use it to hurt herself. the day she left, james told detectives he was so worried about her state state of mind, he stayed at home. james said that she was acting up and he didn t he was afraid the baby would yes. then, late that afternoon, said pastor, james marie said she was tired, went to lie down. tanya took the baby out shopping so marie could rest.
Anymore. and certainly not adoption. every time we started to broach the subject with her, she did get withdrawn. so, maybe tanya would not get baby grace? maybe marie wanted it all, the baby and james, all for herself. that s what this member of the inner circle believed. but i did i hear that from marie, that moore marie wanted. james did tanya strike back somehow, fight for her marriage by getting rid of marie? listen to how church members quote tanya s words. she s basically like, james would never that was kind of shockers? i told her, you are not capable of killing. her but tanya leans over and goes, he couldn t, but i could. so wouldn t that lead you like a bloodhound to? tanya she would have a motive? she. but tanya, now the only
But swore them to secrecy. but then, tanya gave up a little more. the method was really homemade. i remember them saying, oh it was with the turkey thing me. now she s got a secret. yeah at that point. at that point? the, yes that because tanya could not just leave it there. the next time, she admitted something very, very shocking. and tanya said, well we did it the old-fashioned way. james and marie had sex which, told tanya told the ladies, was okay with her. and as months passed and marie started showing, there was a baby shower. but not for marie, this baby shower it was for tanya. she put a balloon under her shirt as a funny photo with
It s at. is that where you buried her? yes. and at that point, the detective got up and left the room. nesli past me a note that said i mr.. i was pretty devastated. i was in that backyard in 2012. not like you didn t look. yeah, but, you know human nature. you still have the guilt. the feeling of i could ve found her. six months after she was reported missing. the pastor insisted that tanya was around. we shopping. knew nothing. did you ever get her buried before tanya came back? oh, yeah. yeah. do you wonder whether tanya had more to do with this? i think that will always be in the back of our minds. that, you know. i think she may have known more than she wants to see. but tanya was never charged at her defense attorney said she was truly shocked by
Marie. but if the story came out, it could threaten everything that she had built in the past. and as i got more, and more, and more into weird stuff. it was just that the stakes got higher? right. imagine the secrecy that the inner circle, that tanya told the truth, to that it s james s baby. but not a lot of secrets the detectives invited james and tanya to voluntarily come in for a chat. but only tanya showed up. and here in this little room in the sheriff s office, she let it all come out. about that night of them sake and sex, when grace was conceived. yeah he had a little bit too. i was the only one that was. soviet but yes, i was there. yes, in the room. but of course she was, said tanya. and almost casually. she revealed the heresy that, should it ever become public it
Resign. he announced that he and tanya were leaving town. they were supposed to leave the following morning to say goodbye to some church members and lo and behold around 12:00 12:30, they got in that truck and went to arizona. they fled. like thieves in the night, with baby grace. it was a few days after they left when jason went to the police to tell his disturbing story. they had a physical run in, the day that she went missing. then a piece of luck. before they left, what marie s friend k asked if they gave her was marie s computer. the bad news was that it had been erased. but i brought it to the sheriff s department for them to take a look. we had our forensic tech reanalyze the computer. and it gave us a beautiful copy of her phone download that she had done when she backed her phone up. but maybe it was not so lucky.
