oh! intuit turbotax. after telling her family she was abducted by her home, days later a florida mom has very suddenly been freed. it's a stunning turn of events but for everyone who loves her and the investigators who have been trying to find her, it isn't over. there's another shock in store. here again, josh mankiewicz. >> quinn gray had finally been released after three days of captivity.

but when she was brought to the fbi's jacksonville headquarters, quinn started blaming her husband, reid, for putting her through the whole ordeal. >> i feel like my husband wanted me dead. >> she said that if reid had only given the money to the kidnappers on that first night she was abducted, she might have been set free much earlier. >> but if my husband had just done what he was supposed to do, i would be fine. >> as it turned out, investigators had been suspicious of quinn's husband from the very beginning. sheriff david shore first spoke with reid right after quinn was kidnapped. >> when you talked to the victim's husband, reid gray -- >> yes. >> -- what's the first thing you say to him? >> well, his first comment to me is was the media involved. >> that's the first thing he said to you? >> i didn't feel comfortable with that. gosh, your wife's kidnapped and that's your first question? >> and someone else was suspicious of reid. quinn's mom. >> i thought possibly reid had something to do with it. >> because? >> it just seemed like a real

convenient way for him to not have to deal with his wife anymore. >> detective howard cole said investigators had to take a close look at reid. >> any time you have a situation of this nature, nine times out of ten it's inner circle, it's spouse, it's a business associate, a friend. >> remember when reid first went to the sheriff's office on the day quinn was kidnapped? >> did you go anywhere today where you would have to go outside in any fashion? >> detectives immediately thought something was suspicious. >> do you know how you got blood or mud on your shoes there? >> there's nothing on my shoes. >> it tells us we don't rule anything out. >> and during that interview, investigators learn that quinn and reid had endured some major problems in their relationship. >> what did reid gray tell you about his marriage? >> their marriage, for lack of a better way of putting it, was rocky. >> there's an ugly side of our marriage. she went out and didn't come home.

she was pretty intoxicated, i looked in her purse and saw underwear in her purse. i'm like, quinn, it's time to be honest. >> he did explain a lot of circumstances surrounding past infidelities both on his part and her part. >> our relationship started to deteriorate and i dated a few people. she dated a few people as well. >> reid admitted he had an affair and said quinn had multiple affairs. that kind of admission all but guaranteed more questions. >> we'd interview him on everything from personal finances to kids or associates, business, everything. and we threw a lot of really hard questions at him. >> do you know where she's at right now? >> no. >> do you have anything to do with her disappearance? >> no. 100% no. >> and even though reid seemed to be upset while his wife was missing, investigators were keeping an eye on him. >> was there a time when you were sort of distrustful of him or wondered what was going on? >> i was questioning his motives and how he was.

even though he was acting appropriately, that in and of itself is not enough to eliminate somebody. >> did you specifically ask reid about the money he had supposedly borrowed from a loan shark? >> yes. >> and he said? >> he never borrowed any money from a loan shark. i didn't believe him. >> on that first night of the kidnapping, when quinn's mom went to her daughter's ocean front home, investigators sat her down with reid. >> some of these truths probably will hurt me. >> and recorded the conversation. >> she was concerned, and i heard this many times from her, that reid threatened her with divorce and she didn't like that idea, of course. >> quinn's mother openly speculated about whether reid knew more than he was saying. >> i also have thought that possibly you could be behind it. kill quinn and you got rid of all kinds of things. you got rid of a wife, you don't have to have an argument about custody, you don't have to give her any money.

>> if things were so good between us -- >> i don't know that things are good between you. >> i think he was evasive with me to begin with. >> suspicions about reid lasted throughout the time investigators searched for quinn. on the same day she was released, they asked reid to take a lie detector test. and he agreed. >> he was being candid. he took a polygraph with a very experienced polygrapher who cleared him from being a suspect. >> officials with the fbi came to the same conclusion. reid gray had absolutely nothing to do with quinn's kidnapping. >> i apologized to him in the fbi building and we hugged. i said i'm so sorry that i thought that. >> but that still left a question, who had kidnapped quinn. >> i didn't know what was going on. i was crying and i was like, please, just tell me that you're not going to kill me. >> back at the fbi office, quinn was less than completely cooperative with agents after her release.

>> did they say anything when they dropped you off, any threats? >> yeah. >> what did they say to you? >> that's the part i'm not getting into. >> she eventually became angry. >> i'm sorry, but i'm going over the big stuff. >> i'm not being confrontational with you. >> i think you are. >> no, ma'am, i am trying to get the details. >> watching from another room was fbi agent in charge, james casey. >> how did she seem in that interview? >> she was very disheveled. her story did not make sense. >> and immediately, investigators were confused. why was quinn so annoyed? and why wasn't she cooperating in the search for her kidnappers? they got few answers that night, and quinn returned home. but two days later -- >> hey, quinn. >> yeah. >> i'm george. >> hi, george. >> quinn gray was a different person when she met with detective george harrigan of the st. johns county sheriff's department. >> from the beginning our goal was let's let her tell her story.

>> it's just been the most incredible ordeal to go through something like this and then in a 24-hour period to be brainwashed so significantly that you actually believe that your husband is trying to kill you. >> quinn said the kidnappers had in essence brain washed her into believing her husband wanted her dead and that she wasn't cooperative with investigators earlier because the kidnappers told her if she gave away any information about them, they would find her and kill her. but after some restful sleep, quinn said she now believes her husband was trying to save her life. >> quinn was finally ready to tell her story of what had really happened during her 72-hour nightmare. >> coming up -- >> he realized he was going to have to let her sleep or lay down to sleep ex-l. he let her lay down. >> just how much of a nightmare

was it? quinn's bizarre description of a sexual encounter with her abductor. >> just every position, all night long. and i acted like i enjoyed it and i'm not going to lie, sometimes i almost did. >> when "dateline" continues.

all of a sudden coming back what was really going on -- that i knew. >> quinn gray was finally prepared to tell all the details of her kidnapping. >> do you feel okay? do you feel like you're able to talk and get this out? >> well, i have to -- >> detective george harrigan of the st. johns county sheriff's department was chosen to interview her. >> i asked her to start from the very beginning. and act as if she had not told anyone the story before. >> go back to you wake up friday. tell me your day friday. >> it was just a normal, absolutely normal day. >> quinn said she had a facial at a local spa, went to yoga

class and ran errands in her mercedes suv. when she returned home, she went up to her bedroom. >> i went up to my closet to change my clothes. he came in this way and said don't do anything stupid. i'm not here for you. >> and he's got a gun? >> he's got a gun and yellow rubber glove on. >> startled by the gunman, quinn screamed, but she was the only one home. her husband was at work, her kids in school. >> so he has a gun to my head and i mean i'm screaming bloody murder. >> how did she describe this guy? >> he was a sharpshooter or sniper in the albanian military. that he goes around doing these kind of jobs. she said that he had some type of foreign accent. >> the look on his face and the evil in his eyes, i was like, i'm dead. >> the gunman said he was not there for quinn, but for the $50,000 that reid gray owed to a loan shark. >> i thought maybe my husband

was in trouble and i didn't know about it, was hiding something from me. how much is this house worth? it's a $4.5 million house. we have a $25,000 mortgage payment a month. that's why it didn't make sense that my husband would owe someone $50,000. it just didn't add up. >> then the kidnapper started to restrain quinn. >> he sat me down on my bed and came over and tied my hands, just my hands. with zip ties. >> then she said the gunman took her out of the house and eventually threw her into the back of a van. frightened and crying, she was driven around for what seemed like hours. she had no idea where she was being taken. and she feared she would never see her husband or two daughters again. the van eventually stopped and quinn was brought into some sort of warehouse, possibly a mechanic's garage. she was strapped into a chair with more zip ties, and that's when she became very frightened.

>> he tied my mouth. he put duct tape on my face. at this point i was like no, no, no, no. >> deputies later took photos of the marks quinn said were made by the zip ties being pulled too tight. quinn was then left alone in the dingy dirty warehouse. she heard what sounded like a tv on in another room, a foreign voice and screaming. >> i started looking around the room praying for my kids and praying, god, get me out of this. and there was another chair so i was thinking maybe this is a torture room. maybe this is where they hold women to torture them before they kill them. >> quinn gray says she believed this could be the last day of her life. >> i was praying that whatever this crazy [ bleep ] was going on that i would live and survive. >> after being left in the chair for hours, the kidnapper returned and eventually cut her free. >> she said at some point he

realized he was going to have to let her sleep or lay down to try to sleep, so he let her lay down. and then a few minutes later, he laid down next to her. he begins to kiss on her neck and i said what's going through your mind? and she said i'm thinking we're going to have sex. we're going to have sex. >> and i knew i wasn't going to resist him, so i tried to make it the best possible. the more he loves it, maybe i have a chance, you know what i mean? >> it makes sense. take a couple of deep breaths for a minute and hear me out so that you can get yourself together, take your time. >> so then sex happens. i asked her to as best she could describe that for me, because it was important if she remembered anything identifiable about this guy. she described explicit sex. >> i mean we just -- every position all night long. >> quinn said she didn't try to

fight off her kidnapper because she thought it might save her life. >> it's really embarrassing. >> i know. >> and i acted like i enjoyed it. i'm not going to lie, i almost did. >> listen, it's not unusual to have weird feelings and weird thoughts going through your head when you're etch pose exposed to a massive amount of trauma. >> sheriff david shore later watched that interview. >> the bottom line is people react differently under stress. >> it must have been stunning to hear somebody describe a sexual assault as something that they enjoyed. >> yes, it was stunning. >> when she was held at that warehouse, quinn said she spent the first hellish night sleeping on a concrete floor. the next day the kidnapper moved her to a motel, the emerson inn. >> at that point, he makes the decision that we're going to go to a hotel for the night. we're going to rethink this whole thing and that's when we ended up at the emerson inn. >> quinn said the kidnapper also brought his gun to the emerson

inn and threatened to kill her husband and children if she didn't cooperate. at one point, she thought about using it on herself. >> i was crying and screaming and he was begging me to calm down. >> mentally broken, quinn obeyed all the kidnapper's demands. the detective asked quinn to share as much detail of her entire experience as possible, hoping to glean some clues. she remembered something that seemed incidental, but something that would later turn out to be crucial to the investigation. >> he bought chicken and some drinks for us so we're eating spicy chicken. >> quinn also told police unlike what was written in the original ransom note, she no longer believed three men were involved in her kidnapping.

>> my very gut instinct now that i'm clearly thinking and getting it all is that there's not anyone else involved but him. >> the interview lasted almost six hours. >> hi. >> but it wasn't the end of quinn and reid's anguish. they were frightened to return home. >> what would be the difference if that guy was in the house right now? >> i'm not going to get my stuff. i'm not going back there. >> reid later said he was extremely worried for his family's safety. >> no, sir, we don't have anybody in custody. i won't lie to you. >> i need to know that guy is caught, too. >> and investigators also desperately wanted to catch that guy. >> take a good look at the surveillance video taken from a palm valley -- >> and they were about to get some unexpected help. >> this is communications, how can i help you? >> i need to talk to somebody about my picture about some kind of woman's kidnapping or

something like that. >> is that you? >> the man in the video, the man quinn says abducted her at gunpoint, comes forward. but he's not what investigators expect. >> what did you learn about him? >> he's a bosnian immigrant, comes from a good family, has a college education. >> this guy was no gangster? >> absolutely not. are cream conditioners bringing your hair down? from the world's number one conditioner brand... new pantene light-as-air foam conditioner, full of rich pro-v nutrients... ...and infused with air. for 100% conditioning, with 0% weight. strong is beautiful. new pantene. foam conditioner.

hundreds showed up in parkland, florida, to attend vigils and prayer services to remember those that lost their lives in wednesday's mass shooting n f shooting. president trump is firing back after robert mueller's indictment of 13 russians. he says the indictments do not prove that there was any collusion with the trump campaign. now, back to "dateline."

a manhunt was under way for quinn gray's kidnapper. two days after her release, quinn remembered something important. it was a new lead for investigators. >> the big thing that she says during the conversation is on sunday morning we were at publix right there in ponte vedra. >> quinn remembered the kidnapper bought food from a publix supermarket while she was in captivity and she remembered specifically what he purchased. >> that's where he bought the chicken, he bought a thing of paper. he bought chicken, you know. >> detectives went to the publix where a manager checked the store's computers and found a match for those items. armed with the exact time the food purchase was made, investigators scanned the supermarket surveillance footage from that moment and they found

this man. quinn confirmed it. he was the kidnapper. >> she gave us enough information to go find his picture in publix and post it on the internet and post it in the news. >> witnesses describe the man to be in his mid-20s or early 30s and about 5'8" to 6' tall and now they need your help in hopes of solving this case. >> two days later, a 911 operator received a call. >> this is communications, how can i help you? >> i need to talk to somebody about -- i was buying something at publix and my picture appeared for some kind of woman's kidnapping or something like that. >> is that you? >> i'm actually on my way over to you guys. >> what's your name, sir? >> jasmin osmanovic. >> and within an hour, jasmin osmanovic ended up here at the sheriff's office. he didn't seem to have a care in the world that he was considered the prime suspect in a kidnapping.

sheriff's detective howard cole conducted the investigation. >> let's just get this over with. >> what did you learn about jasmin osmanovic. >> he is a bosnian immigrant, comes from a very good family. was involved in the auto trade. has a college education. one or two classes away from a degree in criminal justice. >> this guy was no gangster. >> absolutely not. >> but he did match quinn's description of her abductor. while he was not albanian, he did have an accent. >> i just want this nightmare to be over. >> but osmanovic said he had no idea why anyone would be looking for him. >> he freely signed a document waiving his right to remain silent. he also said he had an alibi for the night quinn gray was kidnapped. he was at a bar, and met a girl named stacy. >> okay, tell me about stacy. >> well, me and stacy met up. we just kind of had a two-night stand. >> but his story had more than a few holes. osmanovic wasn't sure of

stacy's last name. he didn't have her phone number or her address. >> he's a character, what can i tell you. he's like i did none of that. by the end of the day i'm walking out here. >> in addition, osmanovic said he saw quinn's picture in the media and he didn't know her. >> did you recognize her? >> sir, i mean she looks like a blonde chick. >> he didn't look at that picture and say i don't know this woman. >> sir, she doesn't look like anybody that i know. >> but the atmosphere quickly changed when cole brought in a photo of quinn gray. >> we've already been to the publix. you know why? because this woman brought us there. >> okay. so what did i do? >> she is saying that you abducted her. >> i abducted her? >> yes, sir. i have more than enough evidence to charge you based on her word. >> and then the detective started to apply pressure to osmanovic. >> and for you to say that you don't even know her concerns me greatly, jasmin, concerns me greatly. because this woman, i can assure you, bud, knows you. >> okay.

she says she knows me. >> absolutely. and i know she knows you. and i know you know her. >> sir, i told you everything that i have to tell you. >> you were at the hotel with her saturday and sunday night. >> with her? >> yes. and i'm not going on her word. i'm going on the clerk's word. >> detective cole told osmanovic he had been identified not only by quinn, but also by an employee of the emerson inn. who said that on the same weekend quinn went missing, he saw osmanovic with quinn in room 207. >> it's her word saying that i -- that i took her. >> what's the chances that you and her were staying in the same hotel in the same room at the same time and not knowing each other? what's the chances of that? >> listen, listen, listen. >> cole referred back to quinn's photo and tauntingly asked if this was the woman stacey that osmanovic claimed he was with the night quinn was abducted. >> are you sure that's not stacey, bud? >> it's her word against mine.

>> no, it's more than that now. >> how is it more? >> because i have independent people that identified you together. if there is something more to it and this woman is not telling the truth, you need to be telling it, buddy. and if she is telling the truth, holy [ bleep ], you're in a whole lot of trouble. >> but osmanovic maintained he did nothing wrong. not only that, he said he could prove it. he had a secret recording that was going to clear his name. >> coming up -- >> you can search everything i own. you're not going to find anything. >> the battle to get hold of that recording and then what it reveals. >> when you heard that tape, what did you think? >> i'm a cop, 11 years, been on this planet 40. i blushed when i listened to the tape. the moment you realize

jasmin osmanovic was suspect number one in the abduction of quinn gray. >> you know what? i just have a feeling i'm in a bad movie right now. >> that's funny you should say that. because that's the way i've been feeling for the past eight days. >> he was denying any involvement whatsoever and said he didn't know her. he even said he didn't fit quinn's description of the culprit. >> did she was i was from bosnia? >> no, albania. >> what? >> albania. >> do you know what an albanian looks like? a middle eastern. i mean come on. i mean that, that -- middle eastern, come on, give me a break. >> not only that, but osmanovic, a mechanic, said he thought he was being set up to be the fall guy in this highly public case. >> he was concerned that because she has money and he doesn't that he's going to get the short end of the stick? >> yeah, he did say that. she's this rich woman from ponte vedra, i know how this goes. he expressed a great deal of concern about that. >> it seems like since obviously

she's rich, it's gonna be my ass. >> she's what? >> since she's rich, it's gonna be my ass. >> i could care less what she is. >> in an interrogation that lasted eight hours, he tried to keep him talking. even when the suspect tested cole's patience. >> he thought he was smarter than us, he wanted to control the interview. truthfully he drove me crazy. >> you can search everything that i own. you're not going to find anything. because just like you said, you've got an iq and i've got one, too. >> he's walking around the interrogation room talking about his iq. do you hear that a lot from suspects? >> not overtly. it's common for most of them to think it. >> i'm smarter than her and her [ bleep ] husband or whatever. >> no doubt about it. but all's i'm telling you is -- >> and you know what? this is bs. this right here is bull [ bleep ]. and it's bull [ bleep ] because it's headed my way. >> oh, it is. >> eventually osmanovic relented.

he admitted he may have known quinn gray. >> do you or do you not know -- >> i might have seen her. >> but osmanovic said that even if he did know quinn, he could still prove his innocence. >> he kept talking in like code. and at one point i was like, you know, i don't understand what you're trying to tell me. just explain what you're trying to tell me. and then he's like you know how you cops, you do videos and this and that. i've got my own audio. >> however, for some reason, he wasn't willing to share that secret audio tape with investigators. >> he claims he has this tape that's exculpatory and gets him off the hook. >> yes, sir. >> and he won't give it to you. >> no. and it kind of blew my mind and i'm here telling him he's facing kidnapping, sexual battery, extortion. >> osmanovic insisted that secret recording he made would be his get out of jail free card. >> and i put a tape recorder with her voice and my voice in front of you, which i can go get.

>> tell me about these tapes. what's on the tape? >> sir, the tape -- the tape is not going nowhere out of my possession. which i hid way off the location. >> okay. why would you do that? >> why would what? >> you tape that? >> you remember the iq part? >> yeah. >> i might have been played for a fool, but i'm not an idiot. >> even under the threat of arrest, osmanovic refused to hand over the recording or give its location. >> it was just a war of attrition. and he knew that he was in it up to his eyeballs. >> the next day after osmanovic's interrogation was completed, detective cole received some crucial information about that recording. >> we learned the existence of the tape from jasmin. the next morning we learned of its possible locatn. >> the location s osmanovic's home. his ex-girlfriend had gotten ahold of it and turned the recording over to osmanovic's sister. the sister then gave the tape to an attorney. >> we got a call from a defense attorney in jacksonville and he

said i think we have something you might be interested in. >> finally, investigators had the tape. and when they pressed play -- >> this is room 207. >> they couldn't believe what they heard. that recording led sheriff david shore to call a press conference. he had a major announcement. >> as our investigation has developed, we arrested quinn gray. >> just what was on that tape? >> it is compelling. it was the icing on the cake. it was the point of no return for quinn. it was the point of no return for osmanovic. >> had quinn been the victim everyone thought? >> i'm starting to feel like i'm the suspect. when "dateline" continues. pampers is the first and only diaper

let's see what happens at the hotel. she's been staying at the hotel all night long. >> at last, investigators had the secret recording that jasmin

osmanovic had tantalizingly refused to turn over. but far from exonerating him, it offered plenty of evidence against him. >> it's compelling. it was the icing on the cake. it was the point of no return for quinn. it was the point of no return for osmanovic. >> on that recording, investigators heard a completely different story from what quinn gray had said happened during her ordeal. >> we're staying at the emerson inn in room 207. >> the recording started on that monday when quinn was missing. jasmin narrated. as he drove, alone, to the emerson inn. >> she stayed the whole night by herself, she didn't want me to stay with her, so i'm going right now back to there. >> the recording continued with jasmin entering room 207. investigators were shocked as they listened. because quinn gray didn't sound

like a captive at all. in fact, she seemed to be in on the whole thing. >> i don't know what the new plan is. >> well, we'll see. >> just tell me you have one. >> yeah. they called the cops and everything, i mean -- but i've got a different plan. >> osmanovic appeared to mock the massive law enforcement manhunt that was under way to find quinn. >> if they just knew that you were here by yourself all night long, they would have a fit. >> that's why i'm starting to feel like i'm the sinister one, doing this to my family. i wonder what my girls think right now. i wonder if they have any idea what's going on. >> we went to the hotel and talked to the people that worked at the hotel. they said she sat in the car while he was checking in. they were hand in hand. they said, in fact, he left the room many, many times during the weekend. >> and remember those bruises and marks quinn said she got

from being zip tied to a chair? the recording suggested quinn made them herself. >> i have to have a few more marks if i'm telling these stories, don't you think? >> are those from last night? >> yeah. that was from the rope. i was doing that. >> oh, you were doing that? >> yeah. >> you're a smart girl. >> i have to have a couple. they think that they don't have [ bleep ] -- >> and then there were parts of that recording that made even veteran investigators blush. on the tape, the two had what sounds like intimate consensual sex. nothing like the rape quinn described. >> does reid get this much action? >> you know he doesn't. >> the sheriff said that from the get-go, he and fbi officials were suspicious about this case, questioning if this was a legitimate abduction. but they had no option, they say, but to proceed as if quinn really had been taken hostage.

in the end, the recording osmanovic made gave them all the proof they needed that this was not a kidnapping, but rather an elaborate hoax. the apparent real goal, the sheriff said, was to extort $50,000 from quinn's husband, reid. >> we all smelled a rat. i mean it just wasn't right. >> there were many things that just didn't add up. it started with the ransom note. it was in quinn's handwriting and unusually long. secondly, investigators never needed to ask for proof of life during the abduction. because the kidnappers regularly allowed quinn to talk on the phone. and finally, there was quinn's shocking debriefing, where she said she enjoyed having sex with the man she had described as her captor. >> and i acted like i enjoyed it. i'm not going to lie, sometimes i almost did. >> osmanovic would later say

that he and quinn met by chance at a gas station just weeks earlier. a conversation started and an affair soon blossomed. something that was strongly suggested by the recording. >> all right, you know i'm crazy about you. >> what? >> i'm crazy about you. >> quinn and osmanovic told different stories of how the whole kidnapping plot evolved, but authorities suggest that quinn's motive was to get the money, leave her husband and start a new life. >> do i have your word? >> what? >> whatever story we come up with, you stick to it. >> we both have to stick to the same story. >> but clearly osmanovic wasn't convinced quinn would stick to their story. >> do you think he made the tape because he thought that at some point he was going to get accused of kidnapping her and he needed to prove that it wasn't his idea?

>> or it was her idea and i just went along for the ride. it was probably a smart thing to do because it revealed to us in no uncertain terms that quinn gray was not a victim. >> put your hands in front of you. >> jasmin osmanovic was arrested for extortion. and before the sheriff publicly announced quinn's arrest, he had a heart-to-heart talk with her husband. >> tough conversation for you to have. >> yeah. your spouse made this thing up and she had relations with a guy that were consensual, we know it was consensual because we have a tape recording and it's crystal clear. how do you process that information. >> one day after osmanovic's arrest, quinn gray was placed in custody. >> we arrested quinn gray and charged her with extortion. this was an extortion attempt from the beginning. it was not a kidnapping. >> quinn pleaded not guilty. after her arrest, she was defiant. >> if i wanted $50,000, all i

would do is take it out of the bank account. >> did you have a sexual relationship with osmanovic? >> no, i did not. i did not know him. >> why would someone make it up? >> you wouldn't make it up because it's the truth. >> i'm talking about him. why would he make this up? >> because he's a criminal and came in and tried to extort $50,000 from me. >> and in another shocking twist, reid gray decided to stand by his wife. >> i want my wife to come out of this feeling wonderful. i want her to feel great about everything after this is all over, and i think that's going to be the outcome. >> coming up -- >> a roller coaster of emotions from the onset. i believed in my heart she was kidnapped. >> her husband seemed to be standing by quinn. but what did her mother think? >> you believe she's telling the truth? >> and then what kind of legal price would quinn pay for her escapade? >> the strength of our case was all the times that quinn gray

♪ quinn gray had pleaded not guilty to charges she tried to extort $50,000 from her husband in an elaborate kidnapping hoax. but even though investigators considered reid gray the victim, to the surprise of many he decided to stand by his wife. two months after her arrest reid even appeared on the "today" show and offered total support for quinn. >> it's been a proposaler coaster of emotion from the onset. there are times you sit in front of the fbi and they present you evidence that she was the mastermind of this and you have no choice but to believe that entirely at that point. but i believe in all of my heart that she was kidnapped. >> quinn's mom also stood firmly behind her daughter saying

jasmin osmanovic was to blame, not quinn. >> i believe she was just manipulated and her mind snapped. >> you believe she's telling the truth? >> absolutely. >> the fbi and the sheriff do not. >> well, they don't understand what can happen to a person who has a mental illness. >> gail sikes says her daughter suffers from bipolar disorder, a form of mental illness marked by both manic highs and deep depressions. >> i think that she was having a severe bipolar/manic episode. she thought she was going to die. you have to remember, she's just out of hazelton. she was in a very frag ill situation. >> quinn had only recently been released from the hazeltin clinic where she had undergone treatment for alcohol abuse. on the "today" show reid said quinn's family had a history of

bipolar disorder. >> i know there's definitely something not right because that's not the wife i know. >> quinn's mom felt her daughter had a strong defense. she says on the tape osmanovic says he will release quinn. it is one of the few places on the tape where he sounds like her cap totor and not her lover >> i can release you from tonight, which i promised from day one. >> and quinn's mother who has never heard the tape says it is because of quinn's mental condition that her daughter had sex with osmanovic. >> he started blowing in her ear and i think she just wanted to feel the comfort and the feeling of feeling secure and loved maybe. >> with the guy who had just brutally abduct you had her? >> in her mental state, yes, i believe that's exactly what happened to her. >> that tape doesn't make her sound like a victim. >> well, you have to think it through a little bit more

carefully. she thought this man is going to save my life and is going to restore me to my family. >> quinn's mom also points out investigators were never able to document the supposed affair between quinn and osmanovic. investigators admit they couldn't find a shred of evidence that the two had any relationship before that labor day weekend. >> does it give you any pause at all that there's no proof that those two knew each other before labor day weekend? >> you know, it does and it doesn't. we knew that their encounter was consensual. >> you can tell that from the tape? >> yes. regardless of when the relationship started, they knew each other and they were involved with each other. >> bond will remain the same -- >> but the prosecutor in the case, jennifer dutton, says her office was never shown any proof that quinn really does suffer from a mental illness. >> have you seen anything to indicate that quinn gray was already diagnosed as bipolar before that weekend?

>> no. her doctor made the assertion he believed she was bipolar although backed off that a little bit and said she did not meet all of the criteria. >> in january of 2010, four months after the incident, jasmin osmanovic pleaded guilty to extortion. in court appearances the formerly cocky, perhaps even arrogant mechanic, now appeared looking like a man who's been had. >> because he's a criminal. >> but quinn gray decided to continue her fight, and the state of florida prepared its case against the wealthy mom. >> the strength of our case were all the times that quinn gray was left alone. she was left alone several times overnight. she was often left in cars and mr. osmanovic made trips into various businesses. >> all proving she could have walked away if she wanted to, could have escaped, therefore it wasn't a real kidnapping?

>> correct. >> what was the truth? at one point reid gray arranged a private lie detector test for his wife and according to assistant state attorney dutton the results were not what he expected. >> i've been provided records that she did not pass that polygraph, she was deceptive. i believe at some point he indicated he eventually listened to that tape which he had not listened to it previously. >> does reid get this much action? you know he doesn't. >> he's not a dumb man. he's a smart man. he's a successful businessman. he was connecting the dots too. >> reid gray eventually changed his mind and with it his support for his wife. in august 2010 he was granted a divorce and now shares custody of the couple's daughters. reid did not want to be interviewed by "dateline" but told us, "i wanted to thank law enforcement and the state for all their hard working efforts

to ensure the safety of my family." and perhaps quinn was ready to move on with her life as well. in february of 2011 she pleaded no contest to extortion. it was something her mom had encouraged. >> i didn't want a jury to find her guilty and send her to prison. >> even though a no contest plea is basically admitting your guilt? >> believe me, i understand, but at least she would not have to go to prison. >> quinn sent us a statement saying she was abducted at gun point and never knew osmanovic, but added, "i do not deny all forms of responsibility for things that occurred after the abduction." and she saiys because of her mental state at the time, her past experiences and her fresh recovery from alcoholism, osmanovic was able to manipulate my every thought and completely altered my belief system about

my life. i made the decision to accept a no contest plea to avoid a lengthy, salacious trial that could have further emotionally armed my family, my mental health and my road to recovery. quinn gray and jasmin osmanovic were both sentenced to time served in jail, given probation, and ordered to repay a total of $86,000 in overtime costs that were run up by all of the law enforcement personnel who had worked that weekend trying to find quinn. both declined to be interviewed. both are now free and apparently they're no longer coconspirators or lovers. >> what's in this for quinn gray? >> i don't know. >> i mean if she divorces her husband, she'd get a lot more than $50,000. >> that's it. was it a call for help? i don't know the answer to that. was it a desperate act to get

attention? i don't know the answer to that. i can tell you she picked a col colorful way to do it. it is hard to pull off a fake kidnapping, it just is. >> that's all for now. i'm lester holt. for all of us at nbc news, thanks for watching. >> i'm grag melvin. >> i'm natalie morales. >> and this is "dateline." >> oh, please, god. why? >> it is the case that stunned parents everywhere, the dad whose young son died in the car. >> apparently he for got the child was in the car seat in the back and went to work. >> i know you didn't, baby. i know you didn't. >> i think any parent can put themselves in that situation. >> full denial, that it wasn't happening. >> then came the jaw-dropping news.
