12:06 pm
that's all. there is another possibility that she could've left earlier. she was here during peak travel time. and trisha's covering for her. (officer) commissioner, over here! it's amanda's. (eames) that's a dress purse. this is what amanda was carrying when she left your house? no. no, she had on shoulder bag. not a purse. (officer) start a search of the perimeter. let's go, go, go! [cell phone ringing] i wonder what this is. yeah, dr. sylveste. as soon as i can. you're 20 minutes from carmel ridge. yeah. i'll cover for you. all right. all right, thanks.
12:07 pm
woman) got something! commissioner. this look like amanda's? yes, that's her shoe. but she wasn't wearing that when she left the house (man) over here, another shoe! amanda changed her clothes at my house. a black dress and these shoes. she didn't want her parents to know that we were going into thcity. we drove he to meet her friend... ashton. ashton have a last name? no, but he had a nk. he's a specialist like amanda. he serve in iraq with her? he did, but he's out now. amanda arranged for us to meet him here. and then he drove us to the city. oh, my god!
12:08 pm
where did you go, trish? a club in midtown-- verve. amanda said that she needed to cut loose. she have a thing witashton? no... somehow, i ended up with ashton. i only had two cosmos, but i got wasted. he took me to a motel. when we left the club, amanda was dancing with some guys. that's all i remember. this would've been good for us to hear the first time we talked to you. i figured she hooked up. i never thought that-- if anybody could take care of themselves, it would've been amanda. (goren) yeah, it's, uh, the verve. it's a club. it's got two different crowds. it's got a bridge and tunnel and the military. look, i still got a buddy in cid.
12:09 pm
i'll find out if he can give me a list of guys in her unit who live in that area. bobby... bobby... we'll find this ashton guy. bobby, bobby... i--i don't trust these people! loo you got the head radiation technician coming in, and she'll give you the attention that you need. oh, jeez! head technician? do you really think they're gonna bring in the head person? [cell phone ringing] mom--yeah. on--on thangiving day? i mean, they'd be-- ty'd never, no, no-- okay, mom. okay. no, they'd hire some lackey they can push around. captain! [sighing]
12:10 pm
this is it. this is the last of her outfit. so where's her body? get your partner back here. he's needed.
12:11 pm
12:12 pm
12:13 pm
(goren) so, ashton. the women soldiers in iraq-- treated as equals? truth is, sir... in iraq, the guys put the female soldiers into two categories. sluts, if they slept around... and bitches if they didn't. amanda, which category did you put her in, ashton? i say this with respect, sir. amanda was a bitch. but the way she was acting at the club last night...
12:14 pm
you left her there alone. trish wasn't feeling well, sir. i wanted to get her someplace safe. yeah, like a motel. yes, sir. i didn't want to put her on a train in her condition and i didn't want to drive in mine. right. amanda, these guys that she was dancing with, they look military to you? more like the guys who make your pizza. these guys might've felt led on. see, out in the desert, even ough the guys were always trying to score with the female soldiers, there was always respect. we wore the same uniform. but out here in the real world, it's every man for himself. amanda might've forgotten that. (woman) sex on the beach. she had about six of them. i took her for military the way she put them away. when i tended bar, we cut people off if we thought they were losing control. we get a lot of soldiers here straight from iraq. the deserve to forget themselves a little. so you can see what a shame it would be if amanda managed to keep herself alive in iraq
12:15 pm
only to get herself killed in her hometown. last time i noticed her, she was with a guy making out in the corner. you catch a glimpse of his face? all i saw of him was his hair. a little shaggy. maybe a beard. and he wore khakis, pressed. (goren) you know, some of these guys, when they get out they grow their hair long. it's an expression of freedom. this guy could be ex-military. someone that she had an affair with inraq. you said her buddy ashton said she was pure as snow. yeah, he left in august. they could've hooked up after that. chief. the dogs go frantic when they sniff her clothes. but they can't find her scent on the ground. they just run around in circles. chief, you've combed every inch of these woods. trail's gone cold, you know? i won't make that call. no blood, no scent, no body.
12:16 pm
somebody scattered her clothes... to make it look like something happened over there. manda was stressed, drinking, making out with a guy in a club. she could've staged this and gone awol. awol or a runaway bride. amanda's last call was at 6:00 pm to ashton rorick arranging to meet at the rest stop. they went into the city together. trish and ashton ended up spending the night at a hotel. she's telling you this now? did amanda have mixed feelings about going back to iraq? are you insinuating that she staged this so she could go awol? who cares! who cares! lee, i just want my daughter to come home safe. amanda would not do that. (eames) i talked to the bartender where amanda was last seen.
12:17 pm
amanda was talking to a man. they seemed to know each other. (goren) she could've gotten a ride back to her car and scattered the clothes. and ran off with this man from the club? [cell phone ringing] sorry. um, sorry, i-- yeah? pardon me. this is your top man? dr. sylveste... uh, oh, yes. yes, he was here. but i didn't want to talk to him, so i pretended to be asleep. [grunting] well, if you pretend like you're sleeping, then how's he gonna-- [frances over the phone] and where is your brother? you said he was going to be here. and he's not here. i'm all by myself. [goren over the phone] i'm in the middle of-- if you-- i'm gonna come, i'm gonna come.
12:18 pm
i know the commissioner doesn't want to think amanda could've gone awol. but if there's anything that she told you that could help us. she did say that she thought that... she was beginning to think carl wasn't the man that she thought he was. did she say why she started to doubt him? oh, we were talking about the war. she said that she felt that it was opening up her eyes to things that she really didn't want to see. do you know of any place amanda might go for refuge? you know, after we married, we lived for a year in ireland. that's where she was born. so she has an irish passport.
12:19 pm
yeah. i can't believe that you think our daughter could be a deserter. even now, with all the information that we have, you refuse to accept that she's a very vulnerable, confused, normal 22-year-old young woman. what? are you blaming me? lee, i found this in the trash on the side of our house. leland, this thunderstorm is maybe ten minutes away. gonna hit hard. you've got a lot of people out there. bring 'em in. bring 'em all in.
