[narrator] Pepita Redhair disappeared on March 24, 2020.
This is where my mom dropped off Pepita.
[Anita] Yes, Mom, I love you.
Take care of yourself.
[crying] It was the last time I see my daughter alive.
[narrator] Her family is desperate for answers.
[Shelda] Where could she go?
What happened to her?
Who did she go with if she did go with somebody?
I yelled at the gate,
"Pita, I'm here. It's Shelda. Come out."
And nothing.
- The dogs are barking. - [dogs barking]
Someone looks through the window. They close it.
That's what scared me a lot.
[Anita] All of a sudden, I felt that something bad happened to her.
I could feel it in my gut.
[narrator] This episode of Disappeared...
retraces Pepita's last known steps.
Human trafficking does happen in Albuquerque.
[Raul] We're less than 500 miles from the border.
We're at the intersection of two interstate highway systems.
We have cartels engaged in moving human beings.
That's what made me afraid of, you know, what if?
I'm not giving up.
We're gonna find you one way or the other.
If we have to wait forever, then we will.
[narrator] The more people who know Pepita's story,
the greater the chance of bringing her home.
Share on social media. Get the word out.
Help find her.
Have you seen Pepita Redhair?
[Anita] I am Pepita Redhair's mother.
Pepita, my daughter, she's a loving, kind person.
She always texts me maybe three times a day.
Even though she was living in her boyfriend's house south of Albuquerque,
she would always message me, "Good night, Mom."
The last time I seen my daughter was Tuesday morning,
March 24th, 2020.
Pepita came home for a visit.
She was living in Albuquerque,
but she still liked to come home, spend a day with us.
Pepita was five-years-old when we moved into Crownpoint, New Mexico,
and that's where she was raised.
My name is Shelda Livingston. I am Pepita Redhair's sister.
Crownpoint is on a small Navajo reservation.
There's a lot of poverty.
Not a lot of job options there in Crownpoint.
And Pepita was an adventurous person.
She's always doing different things.
She never sat still.
She liked to go skateboarding a lot.
She said it was an adrenaline rush for her.
She always talked about how she wanted to make a name for herself.
Pepita was determined to leave home and get a career.
After high school, she moved to Albuquerque.
In the year of 2016, Pepita met Nick,
and they started a relationship.
They would hug each other constantly,
or they would tell each other, "I love you."
Pepita moved into Nick's parents' home in Albuquerque
about five or six months after they started dating.
Prior to Nick, Pepita did date a gentleman, and he was Mexican,
and they did, you know, share different cultures,
and she did learn a lot from him.
Um, however, with Nick,
um, I'm pretty sure they talked about the traditions of Navajo.
Early on in the relationship, Pepita called me
and questioned me about a Navajo wedding and how the ceremony goes.
Questions about what to do, how to do it,
what needs to be done?
I figured, well, she really is happy with this guy.
They're thinking about marriage.
This could be a good thing for her.
He did tell her, you know,
"I'm gonna work, and you know, provide all this for you,
we're gonna get our own home."
You know, a lot of promises.
So I believe that, you know,
that was the one that she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
She was happy.
[Anita] On March 25th of 2020,
I didn't receive no text from Pepita.
And I did text her. I said, "Are you okay? Please call me.
Let me know everything's fine."
There's nothing all day.
On Friday the 27th, it's been two days.
I did text her again, "Sweetie, where are you? Please call me."
There's no texts, no Facebook Messenger,
no phone calls from her.
I called her boyfriend Nick and I ask him,
"Nick, please call me or, um, text me where Pepita is."
And he goes, "I don't know. She left."
Us Native American are very close.
She wouldn't be gone that long without her texting me, contacting me,
contacting her sister, her brother, her nieces.
And I love my children deep from my heart.
And I knew something is wrong.
[phone ringing]
[Shelda] And my mom, Anita, did call me about my sister Pepita,
and she was like, "Hey, Shelda, this is happening.
I, I can't reach your sister."
And that's when I found out.
I just thinking all kinds of things.
"Where would she go?
What happened to her?"
Just all kinds of questions go through your mind.
All of a sudden, I felt that something bad happened to her.
I could feel it in my gut.
[phone ringing]
[Anita] So right away, I jump on the phone.
I call Albuquerque Bernalillo Police Department.
That's when I talked to detective.
I said, "I want to find my daughter." [sniffles]
[Shelda] And one of the officers told her, "Pepita's an adult.
She has a right to be missing.
Maybe she's just at a friend's house.
She'll pop up in a week or two, so don't worry."
We decided we're not gonna wait.
We decided to look for her.
Central and San Pedro is right here.
This is where we looked.
We started from where she hung out,
where we knew she knew a lot of people.
That's where we started from.
She did ride the bus a lot,
so we started hitting the bus stop.
We also put flyers there for her.
Making the flyers was difficult because money-wise,
my mom was a single parent.
She paid all the bills on her own.
I am also a single mother of three.
But we did have family members donate money
to help doing the flyers and getting more copies.
So, majority of the times we're posting it on the doors,
or putting it into people's mailboxes
in the neighborhood around Nick's home.
I would talk to those people, and hand out flyers,
and let them know, "My sister's still missing."
A lot of them would say, "Oh, yeah, I remember her. She's very friendly."
And they would always tell me, "No, we haven't seen her.
Is she really missing?"
A lot of them from the beginning were in disbelief
because she's always around.
My name is Shaun Griswold. I'm a reporter with Source New Mexico.
The timing for Pepita's disappearance was unfortunate.
She went missing on March 24th, 2020,
and shortly after, the COVID pandemic shut down almost the entire world.
My name is Darlene Gomez, and I am Pepita Redhair's family's advocate.
When I first met Anita King, she was very defeated.
Some of the problems that the Albuquerque Police Department was facing
is that it was COVID.
They stopped all face-to-face investigations.
They had a lot of police officers who were out sick.
[Shelda] They just kept telling us the same thing.
"Because of the pandemic, we can't do anything.
We're shutting down, and she'll come up in a week or two," was the...
That was their only answer to us.
[phone ringing]
[Shelda] My mom was persistent.
She kept calling the officers and saying,
"I know something happened. Can you please do something?"
But they just kept telling my mom, "You have to wait."
[Shaun] Police operations were, were essentially halted because of COVID.
But the family also feels as if the follow up was still not there
and that police don't care about Pepita.
The family alleges that there's racism with the department.
Racial discrimination in the Albuquerque Police Department is a fact.
We have a federal Department of Justice
that reviews the police's relationship with communities of color
and has shown there's a systemic problem going back decades,
and I've definitely experienced it myself.
Pepita is Navajo, and I'm Pueblo,
so yeah, we're both Native American,
and so it's personal for me.
[Darlene] I do believe because Pepita was Native American
that that really impacted how Albuquerque Police Department
probably looked at her case.
If it was a white woman, and her parents said,
"She is gone. This is not like her."
Do I think some more resources would have been put into place?
Most definitely.
I was so frustrated.
I was upset. I was mad.
[Shaun] When Pepita's family members realized
that the Albuquerque Police were not offering much help,
Anita then tried to go to the Navajo Nation police.
But the issue there, of course,
is that Pepita's case happened in Albuquerque.
Jurisdictionally, the Navajo Nation police can't do anything about it.
The Albuquerque Police Department is responsible
for the investigation of her disappearance,
and they're the only police agency that should be investigating this case.
[Shelda] I started calling the news station to come and help us.
I did reach out to them to ask them,
"Hey, can you put up her picture on your show
so we can put the word out there?"
And they're like, "Well, we're sorry,
we can't help you at this time."
I was livid.
I said, "You guys do it for other people.
You guys did it for so-and-so,
and now you say you can't do it for my sister?"
I said, "It's only five seconds of your time I'm asking for."
[Shaun] Maybe they just didn't wanna do a missing persons story that day
because everything was dominated by COVID coverage,
or they deemed Pepita's case as not newsworthy.
Cases involving missing native women, or murdered native women,
don't get any attention.
How many people know Native Americans?
How many people have ever met a Navajo in person?
How many people have a judgement and bias against somebody
that they think is other than them?
That's when we realized, "Okay, we have to do this on our own."
When we didn't hear from her,
at that point I thought maybe she's still in Nick's house.
Maybe he's holding her in there.
So, I drove to Nick's house.
This is Nick's house.
It's gonna be right here.
So this is where my mom dropped off Pepita on March 24, 2020.
I remember I yelled at the gate, "Pita, I'm here.
It's Shelda. Come out."
You know, "Nick, if you're in there, come out and talk to me.
Where's Pita?
Pita, you know, we're here.
I'm here trying to look for you.
Where are you?"
And nothing.
- The dogs are barking. - [dogs barking]
Someone looks through the window. They close it.
That's what scared me a lot.
Nobody comes out.
[Anita] My daughter Pepita, her boyfriend Nick is Native American.
The first time I met him I said, "Please take care of my daughter."
She's a loving, kind person.
I was happy with Pepita dating Nick because I saw them,
you know, be an affectionate couple.
Pepita was very happy with Nick.
She was always calling and saying,
"Hey, this is what we're gonna do.
We're going to go watch a movie."
She was always outgoing and optimistic.
Her willingness to do anything for him.
Always being there.
That's the whole of her personality that drew Nick in.
[Anita] But then one day, Pepita told me that Nick hit her.
She said Nick just got out of control with his drinking.
Pepita told me that she was in an abusive relationship.
[Shelda] I told her, "You know, you can't be with somebody that does this.
Once they do it, they'll always do it again."
I tried to, you know, encourage my daughter
to, you know, stay home, just move back.
But she said, "Mom, there's nothing here.
I want to go back and be with Nick."
She said, "I love him."
Native American women, on average, have the highest rates of domestic violence.
One in two Native American women will face
some type of violent situation in their life,
whether that's a domestic violence situation,
whether they're assaulted, whether they're kidnapped, or they're murdered.
And so it's present in our community.
[Shelda] On the day of my mom dropping Pepita back off at Nick's home,
Pepita reassured my mom.
She goes, "Mom, I love you. Take care of yourself. Drive home safe."
That was the last time I seen my daughter alive.
[Shaun] Because of all of the issues that were leading up to Pepita's disappearance,
this is why the family has this idea
that Nick had a role to play in her disappearance.
All they know is that Pepita's missing,
and to their knowledge, he was the last person that saw her.
[Darlene] To my knowledge today, Nick has never been convicted
of any type of violent crime.
And because I don't have a complete file for Nick,
then I can't tell you if there was any allegations of domestic violence.
But what I can tell you is there was numerous calls
about domestic violence to the home,
and that Nick's family members lived there as well.
On 02/06/2020, there was a domestic disturbance.
12/24/2015, domestic disturbance.
I know that she was hospitalized a few times,
looking back at medical records.
[Shelda] From the beginning of my sister Pepita being missing,
even during the pandemic,
I believe that Nick should have been questioned thoroughly.
An investigation should have opened at least, and a walk through the home,
checking the home.
Look for anything out of the ordinary.
[Shaun] The police had told me that Nick was interviewed once.
And I think it's safe to say at this moment
that Nick is not a suspect in this case.
There hasn't been an adequate response at all from police
as to why Nick is not a suspect,
other than that he's not a suspect.
Plain and simple, that's all they say.
[Darlene] The position of the Albuquerque Police Department
that they do not believe Nick is involved in any type of foul play,
and that they have done everything possible
to properly investigate this case,
so they're going to continue to leave it as a missing person case.
[Shaun] The family, they're very desperate to find anything,
so they've organized a foot search near Pepita's home.
This is where we started our footwork search.
The West Mesa area in Albuquerque, it is desert,
just sand, and there's hills that go up and down.
There's a lot of bushes, rocks, holes, caves, ditches.
If you were to try to hide a body, that would be a perfect place,
because it's in a remote area.
We did also ask the police, "Can we get cadaver dogs?"
And they told us that people do dump big items of trash in the mesa.
When we were doing our search, when we seen trash bags, we kind of opened them,
and of course we used rubber gloves, and we used sticks to move things around.
Let's see if we find anything.
And that's kind of what we worked with.
It's really hard to even think about it,
but it's something that we need to think about.
Worst case scenario, she could be anywhere in this area.
It's very heartbreaking not knowing what happened,
and it's heartbreaking for me knowing we weren't there to help her, you know?
[Shaun] On April 19, 2020, nearly a month after Pepita goes missing,
her boyfriend Nick files a missing persons report with police in Albuquerque.
So, the documents that I do have in my hand
are the original missing persons report that was filed by Nick
to the Albuquerque Police Department.
What Nicholas said was Pepita and him had an argument
and she left on foot.
Nicholas said that he had received a text message,
and that that text said that she was with a gentleman by the name of Laramy.
I asked police, "Was there any effort to find this Laramy person?"
Or if they contacted, or if they know, or have located Laramy,
and I got no response to that.
Other than that he's not a suspect.
It's very strange.
There's a lot of issues here that police have yet to quite respond to,
and ultimately, you just wonder,
do they think they dropped the ball?
Like, are they able to consider that perhaps they messed this case up?
I don't think they would ever publicly admit it.
[Anita] I didn't know the guy.
It's the first time I heard about Laramy.
I think Nick is lying.
[Shelda] I told my mom, "Put it on Facebook."
Say, "Hey, this is the last person that Nick claims
Pepita was with at the time.
Does anybody know Laramy?"
Put 'em on Facebook and let it go. See what happens with it.
[Anita] I had hopes. I had a good feeling
that he was going to give the information of what happened.
You know, "Oh, wow, it's gonna work this time. They're gonna find her."
[Shelda] Laramy did get ahold of my mom.
He basically told my mom, "I did know Pepita,
but I'm not with your daughter,
and I don't know where she is."
The last time he saw Pepita was March 10, 2020 on his birthday
because Pepita bought him a cupcake and sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
He said she was with Nick.
Nick started getting upset with Pita that she did buy a birthday cupcake for Laramy.
So they started arguing.
Laramy stated that he did see Nick strike Pepita.
Laramy said he just left because he didn't want to cause any more problems.
That was the last time he saw Pepita.
[Darlene] After talking to the Albuquerque Police Department detectives
working on this case,
it's my understanding that contact had not been made with Laramy.
It's my belief that they did not look
into Laramy's Facebook account, cell phone records.
So I don't believe that they were able to determine if she was indeed with Laramy.
What I believe is that during that period of time,
Pepita's family was not contacted at all,
and there does not appear like there was any movement as far as getting warrants,
and that the initial detective was getting ready to retire,
so I believe that the case sat basically unlooked-at.
I was so livid with everything that was going on with the officers.
It would have been nice if they would have got a statement from Laramy.
Unfortunately, Laramy's deceased now.
So it's a little late to ask him questions.
The things they could have done from the beginning,
the evidence they could have found,
it's gone.
Very bad.
We still haven't found any answers, any leads.
And that got me mad, and it got me sad.
[sniffles]
On May 20, my mom did get a phone call
from a young female stating that she did see Pepita.
All the girl told us was, "Hey, Pepita is here at City Park."
Click. That's all we had to go with.
I dropped everything I was doing and I left,
and I didn't bother, you know, like, following the speed limit or anything.
I just said, "Okay, let's go. We gotta find her.
Let's hurry and get there as fast as we can."
It was an adrenaline rush.
I was excited, I was like, "Maybe she is at the park. Maybe they did find her.
Or, God forbid, maybe somebody left her there."
I did not know what we were getting into.
Our hope was just, "It is her. It's her. Let's go get her."
We drove to the first place we thought City Park was.
I look around the park.
There was a couple drinking and she had her back turned.
I ran to her. "Pita!"
I started yelling her name from a distance.
But there was no response.
So I approached them, and clearly it was not Pita.
I had a flyer, so I showed them,
and they were like, "No, we don't know who she is.
We don't know her. I'm sorry."
So I look through the rest of the park.
No sign of her.
She's not here.
So, then I started thinking,
"Go back on the Google and look for city parks.
See if we're missing anything out."
So, when I Googled "city park" on Google Maps, it was kind of odd.
The icon on the map, it showed a spot in the middle of a hotel
that said "City Park."
But that's not what the hotel was called.
I said, "What the [bleep] is this?"
I said, "Well, screw it. Let's just go over there."
I pulled in here, and if you look to the left when you first drive in,
there's a tree right there.
There was a young gentleman on a bicycle on his walkie-talkie
watching everyone coming in.
Very odd for someone to be watching the entrance of a hotel.
The other one was over here by the trash dump.
He was sitting there on his bicycle with the walkie-talkie.
The third gentleman was standing right here by the tree
with his bike also, and he also had a walkie-talkie.
And I was like, "That's weird."
Three guys around the motel, sitting there, just watching us.
And they're watching everything that we did.
And we continued to drive through here.
We didn't see anyone outside at the time.
There's no sign of her.
Pita's not there.
But there was vans lined up all the way right here.
All the way up to maybe like right here.
Different license plates throughout the States.
And the vans were with dark-tinted windows.
No logos on the vans.
I'm scared. I didn't feel comfortable being there.
The vibe that you get from that place is not good.
And we just left.
What scared me a lot was that I know that human trafficking does happen in Albuquerque.
That's what made me afraid of, you know, "What if?"
My name is Raul Torrez. I'm the Bernalillo County district attorney.
My office has been involved in the recovery of people
who've been the victims of human trafficking.
We're less than 500 miles from the border,
we're at the intersection of two Interstate Highway Systems,
and we have cartels, who we know are engaged
not only in smuggling firearms and narcotics,
but also engaged in moving human beings,
trading them and using them, oftentimes in the sex trade,
or for basically indentured service to other people.
[Shaun] Pepita could very well be a victim of human trafficking.
We ultimately don't know.
When there's so little information that's come out of this case,
you start to speculate on every scenario.
I just prayed for her, that she's safe.
[Shelda] It's heartbreaking to know that she's still out there.
We don't know what shape she's in.
We don't know if she's okay.
We're looking for answers.
And we won't give up on her.
We just want her home.
[narrator] Pepita Redhair was last seen on March 24, 2020.
If you have any information, please contact
Bernalillo County District Attorney's office at 505-222-1101.
[Shaun] At the end of May, Pepita had been missing for more than two months,
and the family was able to contact Nick
and arrange a time to pick up her belongings at the house.
[Shelda] I do have Pepita's clothes here.
This is the set of clothes that Pepita was wearing
over the weekend, the weekend before she went missing.
[Shaun] The family had an idea that by putting her belongings in a plastic bag,
maybe this could be used as evidence or could be turned over to police.
This is just an assumption that they made,
and it's not quite sure if that's ever gonna happen or ever did happen.
[Shelda] And there's a T-shirt,
a black T-shirt in here, and a black pair of jeans.
This bag of clothes of Pepita...
just makes you wonder where she is.
Where are you? Come home.
What happened to you?
All the questions when you, when I pick up this bag.
The questions you wanna ask.
We just want closure.
We want her home.
I did take my sister's clothes to the medicine man
to do a Navajo ceremony.
What they do is they do a fire,
and then from the fire, the,
it's called tiid, it turns into ash.
Before it turns into ash, the medicine man removes it,
and they use that smoke
to see the scene of a loved one.
Through singing and the chanting, and then the smoke going up,
they have the ability to find out if she's still on Earth or if she's not on Earth,
and where she could be.
He did tell us that she is still living.
But she's being held against her will.
That she's in a dark room is all he saw,
and all she does is write.
I don't know what I felt, I just...
There's just no words for it.
How, how you feel when you get information like that.
He did give us hope that she is alive.
And then soon after that,
we did get another phone call of another sighting of Pepita
outside of a supermarket on Juan Tabo Boulevard.
I was like, "Oh, my God, I hope it's her."
So I left work.
I like totally dropped doing what I was doing, went over there,
and there was a young lady that was crossing the street
away from the supermarket.
It looked like her from a distance.
That's where she was crossing, was right here.
And I chased her.
I saw her coming and I was driving,
and I turned around, but she walked a little bit faster.
I parked at the Rodeway Inn and I ran after her.
And I said, "Pepita!"
I was like, "Hey, stop," you know.
And she finally stopped and she turned around,
and oh, my God, the spit image of her.
Was, I was actually looking at her.
It is a spit image of her face,
however she's taller,
and she has no moles and her hair was longer.
I was like, "Oh, my God, you look like my sister."
She was, "I know, people's been telling me that."
And she said people did approach her a couple of times already,
and told her, "Pepita, your family's looking for you."
Pepita, go home."
And she told them, "I'm not Pepita."
That's when I know, I said, "Oh, my God," I said,
"you're the one that people's been calling us about,
that you are Pepita."
[phone rings]
I called my mom and told her,
"I found that person that they were talking about.
That girl is well aware of Pepita being missing,
and they think they mistake her of her.
But, Mom, it's not her.
It's not her." And she broke down. [sniffles]
It's frustrating
when we did get these leads
and stopping and going and rushing over there,
and not finding anything is...
discouraging.
Very discouraging.
We kind of gave up a little bit.
[Shaun] Pepita has now been missing for about a year and a half
with no coverage on local TV.
And on September 11th, 2021,
a major case of a missing person breaks.
Young white woman named Gabby Petito
was reported missing and makes national news.
You couldn't go anywhere without catching an update on the case.
[Evan] Gabrielle's 5'5", 110 pounds.
Her YouTube video...
I think our plan for today is to just hang out.
[Evan] ...showcases life on the road.
I remember watching Gabby Petito's story on the news.
The FBI is involved in this search as are police in New York,
which just shows how wide ranging and far reaching
this investigation is.
I was upset because she got a lot of immediate attention
to get assistance to help finding her.
Plus the fact that she's white and she's on TikTok.
That's what really upset me.
How did it get so big in the media
versus Pepita here, my sister, why?
You know, that was my question, was, "Why?"
Why couldn't you guys help us when we asked?
[Shaun] What they saw in the Gabby Petito case,
was nice white woman goes missing,
and the system, the mechanisms of media and law enforcement
were moving quickly
in a way that they had been trying to get going.
So a little sense of outrage in how quickly it happened for somebody else
who's different than them.
What caught my attention too was like the names.
Gabby, her last name was almost similar as Pepita's.
I thought, "That's a sign."
We're not gonna give up.
I'm going to go back out there with my mom,
and say, "Hey,
Pepita's story needs to be heard."
On October 3rd, 2021,
we did a rally to get assistance
to help find my sister Pepita Redhair.
Part of the things that I did for her were
getting guest speakers, getting donations for food,
doing press releases.
I wanted to give other family members,
other who had missing loved ones
the opportunity to also speak.
And so we had just this tremendous turn out
of families that had never been able to have a voice.
We had balloons with everybody's names,
and we took a moment of silence.
It was very emotional for these families.
But it also gave them hope
that they were not alone.
[Raul] We owe it to one another to do everything that we can,
to make sure that these women come home.
One of the really fabulous things that occurred
is that District Attorney Raul Torrez agreed to take this case.
[Raul] We met with Pepita Redhair's family
and they shared with us
their frustration with the fact
that the epidemic of violence against native women,
the alarming rate at which they disappear
largely gets ignored.
In 2017, it was reported that there were 5,700 missing
and murdered indigenous woman nationwide.
Over a five-year period, just in the state of New Mexico,
there were over 660 reported missing and murdered indigenous women.
There is the idea that not everyone in this country is getting equal justice.
We need to be in a position
where we value all of these families.
It doesn't matter what you look like or where you come from,
we care about you
and we're going to go to every length that we can to recover your loved one.
We've assigned two investigators to work on Pepita's case.
[Darlene] The district attorney's office
and I also believe the Albuquerque Police Department's
able to get warrants for electronic media.
They were able to get warrants for telephones.
They were able to look at truck stops,
and some other places Pepita frequented.
They were able to talk with the FBI.
They also were able to get DNA swabs
they were used to try to help identify the DNA makeup of Pepita.
They went to the morgue to see if anyone matched that description.
And then they were able also to look at some of the evidence
that was brought in by Pepita's family.
They were able to take statements.
[Shelda] What I would like to see is a thorough search of Nick's home.
And I would like a search to be done on the West Mesa area.
A year and a half is a very long gap
for us in terms of the timeline that we usually like to engage in.
We remain optimistic,
but at this point I don't have any clear answers about what happened to her.
[Darlene] I am extremely proud that Anita King is able to tell her story today.
Because this has not happened
hardly in any murdered missing indigenous women cases,
but does it stop here? No.
We're going to continue to find answers,
and find justice for Pepita.
[Anita] I miss my daughter, Pepita.
I miss her smile.
She's always in my heart and my mind.
I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna keep going.
I'm going to keep talking to medias.
I'mma put her name out there.
Put her picture out there.
If you've heard something, if you've seen something,
please say something.
I want my daughter home.
[Shelda] When I'm in town, I'll drive by,
and I'll look, I'll look around the area.
I'll look at the bus stops
and I'll still hand out fliers
to people that are outside.
I'll let them know that she's still missing.
It's sad to come back this way.
Because all you want is answers.
And we still go home empty handed.
[Shelda] I just wait every day.
I just talk to her when I'm cooking, when I'm cleaning.
You know, Pita, where are you?
Show me where you're at.
At least call me.
I tell her, I'm not giving up.
I'm gonna make sure
one way or the other, you come home or we find out.
We're gonna find you,
one way or the other.
If we have to wait forever,
then we will.
