instantly something was wrong we began taking notes making a timeline investigating people who had been in
00:01:57
contact with Lisa we put a Facebook page and just kept getting the word out there
00:02:03
I don't believe that people truly cared when Lisa first disappeared police report had been opened and closed but no
00:02:10
one followed up it was just unacceptable to us and I just felt very frantic like if we didn't
00:02:17

00:02:25
Facebook detectives if there is such a term if there wasn't before well there is now we've got a lot of leads through
00:02:32

instead they are out trying to solve a mystery for her to go missing even for one day is highly unusual and abnormal
00:04:00
Tina Joanie and Tammy are looking for Clues at the home of their old friend Lisa Stone who vanished Without a Trace
00:04:10
last spring we had to take matters into our own hands at that point 51-year-old Lisa was last seen alive near her home
00:04:18
in a Dallas suburb on June 5th 2010 somebody had to look for Lisa the search for Lisa has taken her
00:04:29
friend back down memory lane all the way back to high school oh my I know you know when I saw her
00:04:42
picture on the news I knew exactly who it was she was so fun she was wasn't she look at the big hair in some of these
00:04:50
the hair is bigger than the frame y'all remember any of these we were talked to be ladies we were not allowed to wear
00:04:55
our uniforms outside of the stadium or outside of the school it's ugly people weren't running around in their their
00:05:02
little drill team outfits 24/7 it was um it was like a little sorority it was like a high school sorar
00:05:08
te isn't that you yep that's me yep and there she is in the late 70s Lisa was a sexy high
00:05:18
kicking cowgirl with the mosquite high drill team I'm glad y'all are doing this with her I hope you get some resolve out
00:05:25
of this the old friends had first gotten back together at a school reunion in 2009 where they reminisced about old
00:05:34
times we went out a lot on the weekends to the Disco We snuck in sometimes we were a little
00:05:41
underage she loved that she loved to have a good time and she loved to dance they caught up talked about how
00:05:48
all of their lives had gone in very different directions Joanie Shannon was a homemaker with a Harley so are you
00:05:56
excited how's the year going and Tammy Markle she had spent a lot of her life coaching beauty pageant contestants I
00:06:03
was going to say it needs to just be longer Tina Wy spent years managing a construction business away from work she
00:06:11
had become obsessed with Facebook she thought I was the Facebook Queen she thought I was the expert Lisa had been
00:06:17
in newspaper ad sales but lost her job in 2006 she too was a huge Facebook fan [Music]
00:06:31
validation and accept I think that Facebook made her feel very young I think she could relive her youth after
00:06:38
the reunion they used Facebook to keep in touch this is how I remember all of us looking pretty hot what kind of
00:06:45
Facebook personality some people are deeply private other people let it all hang out oh no Lisa let it all hang out
00:06:51
you knew everything every detail of her life and one detail everyone knew was that Lisa Stone loved to be loved she
00:07:01
always had a very strong desire to be loved she was very insecure actually I think she always was looking for
00:07:07
acceptance I think that need too for her to be loved caused her to overlook a lot
00:07:11
of things Lisa grew up in a wonderful family her father was a Dallas cop her mother a homemaker who took care of Lisa
00:07:21
her two brothers and an older sister and she uh was very close with one of her brothers I understand Dennis
00:07:30
but Lisa's cheerful Spirit had taken a beating over the years battered by tragedy after tragedy her sister had
00:07:37
been killed in a car crash her beloved brother Dennis died of AIDS her mother died of cancer and then in 2005 her
00:07:47
father whom she'd been living with and caring for passed away friends had I think had become her family we were her
00:07:55
family the loss of her brother Dennis who was gay cut especially close growing up in the mosquite in the' 70s was very
00:08:03
conservative you didn't discuss such things it wasn't until that high school reunion that Lisa finally discussed her
00:08:10
own secret at the party she passed around this little souvenir she had from um Six Flags and it had the picture of
00:08:18
her um partner and that's kind of how she told people there she was expecting I think when she passed around that
00:08:24
picture people would go your partner you mean you're gay and everybody went oh that's nice here
00:08:31
my name is Sher Henry and Lisa is my partner of 15 plus years when I first met Lisa I walked into the club she was
00:08:40
across the way and our eyes met she came over and started chatting with me and we
00:08:47
hit it off were you a couple almost immediately almost immediately were you in love with her very much and was she
00:08:53
in love with you I would [Laughter] hope after Lisa's dad died in 2005 Sherry came around more and more
00:09:04
eventually moving in in 2009 did you consider yourselves married yes Sherry says as a couple they shared a lot we
00:09:13
grew up both in the midwest um strong family values and apparently Lisa happily shared a
00:09:21
$300,000 inheritance with Sherry the couple lived off The Inheritance until early 2010
00:09:30
when Lisa suddenly realized she was broke one day she came to me and just said that she was out of money was that
00:09:37
surprising to you extremely surprising but in early June 2010 the relationship between Sher and Lisa did come to an end
00:09:47
an Abrupt end when according to her friends Lisa [Applause] vanished I noticed I hadn't talked to
00:09:56
her in about two weeks were there postings on Facebook no no postings no photos nothing for
00:10:04
days from the woman who never skipped a single day on Facebook so I immediately got on the phone and started calling
00:10:12
Sherry she kept giving me different stories right away um Lisa's off doing odd jobs and and like late at night so
00:10:18
immediately I started contacting Joanie and Tammy when you told me Lisa is missing she hasn't been heard from in a
00:10:26
few weeks I immediately knew that I'm my heart started pounding and that's when all of us just got involved trying to
00:10:33
piece us together but Sher says there's nothing to piece together did you file a
00:10:39
missing person's report no I did not was there ever a time when you thought as her life partner that you should file a
00:10:45
missing person's report no at the time prior to me leaving Dallas Lisa stone is not missing
00:10:53
[Music] I felt very frantic nobody cared if we didn't do this who was going to do
00:11:12
this Joanie Tammy and Tina believe Lisa Stone vanished on the first weekend of June
00:11:20
2010 on Saturday June 5th Lisa's regular daily Facebook postings just stopped [Music]
00:11:31
I called her cell phone and it was disconnected I'm sick at my stomach something's wrong we all had that
00:11:35
feeling we all did that very same day also appears to be the last day anyone physically saw
00:11:43
Lisa Stone it was the 5th that Lisa was over here June 5th 2010 is the last time you
00:11:49
see her yes oneita burus lives two doors down from Lisa and says that on that Saturday like clockwork Lisa Came
00:11:58
Calling I think she depended on me for advice and she would come over here and she'd sat in that chair she was always
00:12:05
around she was in the yard or she was at your house or she was calling you you could look out and you'd see Lisa so
00:12:11
pretty much a day never went by in this neighborhood without someone seeing absolutely
00:12:17
absolutely the two women chatted that Saturday night and Lisa promised to return the next day to take out wi's
00:12:24
garbage but Lisa never showed up sh sh called me the next day which was very unusual Sherry called you she
00:12:33
called me and she said Lisa's having a gallbladder attack and she said she's lying down and she said could she come
00:12:39
over and take it out and I said that'll be fine and she never she been over here
00:12:43
I think maybe one time and she one time in how many years the whole time she was
00:12:48
over there 3 days later on June 9th there was another curious development Joanie you got a hit on your Facebook I
00:12:58
knew it was Lisa because the way it was worded it said Joanie how are you and family Lisa's Facebook page which had
00:13:07
been eerily dormant for 3 Days lit up again but the ladies say they are sure it was not Lisa who sent the message she
00:13:16
never talked to me like that she'd say tell Steve hi or how is Steve she always always said his name not how are you
00:13:24
family uhhuh and what was your first reaction when you read it were you were you at all relieved
00:13:29
no cuz I knew it was Sherry but Sher says she's never even been on Facebook I don't know how to log
00:13:37
on I don't know anything about Facebook 10 days later oneita burus was worried enough to go to the Dallas
00:13:45
Police to file a missing person's report what was their response when you went to
00:13:49
Dallas PD well he said I said she's probably just somewhere said she'll be back I said something has happened to
00:13:56
her do you think Dallas Police took your report seriously no they thought I didn't know what I was talking about
00:14:04
within two days June 21st a detective did stop by Lisa's house but Sher told the cop there was nothing to worry about
00:14:14
Lisa was simply away they just accepted that as the truth and closed the file we
00:14:20
didn't feel like the police were responding the Facebook friends called Sherry repeatedly to ask where Lisa was
00:14:26
every day I was tell a different story every day Lisa was off here Lisa was off there for example Sher told the ladies
00:14:34
that Lisa was working odd jobs for a friend Pat James helping her in the garden I had hand surgery and I couldn't
00:14:41
do a lot of work in the garden so I hired her and she'd come over every morning about 9:00 and she'd stay till
00:14:48
about 5: but that was in May well before Lisa disappeared I was in Florida 3 weeks and Lisa's friends hamy and Tina
00:14:58
they both called me in Florida they had tracked me down and I says what's up and
00:15:02
she well Lisa disappeared and I said disappeared finally on June 29th terrified that something truly awful had
00:15:13
happened to Lisa Joanie and Tina confronted Sher Janie and I went there one night Sherry let us in and we sat
00:15:20
down talked to her about an hour and a half she said oh of uh Lisa's working she's on her way home and I've ordered
00:15:26
us a pizza and this was at like 8:00 p.m. what did she tell you nothing did you think Lisa was coming home
00:15:34
no eventually the ladies just left but Sherry says actually they never showed up did any of her high school friends
00:15:44
come over in June and say we want to see her and you said according to them she's
00:15:50
on her way home I've ordered a pizza you can come in and wait for her no did that
00:15:53
ever happen no it never happened no they're adamant that they came over to the house they can be as adamant as they
00:16:00
want to almost a month after Lisa was last seen Joanie says she decided to surprise Sherry and swing by Lisa's
00:16:10
house again and that led to an unbelievable chance encounter as Joanie drove into Lisa's neighborhood she
00:16:18
texted Tina Joanie said she was going to go by the house and see if she came home
00:16:23
with Lisa so I was just about to talk when Joanie called me Tina guess what she Sheri is driving Lisa's car and
00:16:30
sitting beside me at a red light and did she notice you no and I panicked for a moment because I couldn't
00:16:37
believe this I was like oh my goodness I said oh my gosh what do I do she said follow
00:16:42
her so I followed Cherry she pulled into a 7-Eleven parking lot she pulls in front of the
00:16:54
dumpster I pull behind the gas pump and just get out of the car and I'm hiding behind the pump watching
00:17:00
her and she proceeded to open up the trunk and started pulling out baskets and a little suitcase and proceeded to
00:17:09
throw them in the trash dumpster in the dumpster Joanie says she found a suitcase full of Lisa's most
00:17:17
personal belongings Lisa's birth certificate was in there her deceased brother Dennis his death certificate was
00:17:24
in there bibles just real Precious personal thing that she would not have disposed
00:17:32
[Music] of but why would Sherry dumped Lisa's belongings Sherry says she didn't tell
00:17:41
me about the dumpster incident here's what I will tell you about the dumpster incident there is no dumpster incident
00:17:48
when you say there was no dumpster incident do you deny that you threw a blue Su case full of personal items
00:17:54
inside the dumpster absolutely you were never there true that's all just a flat out lie flat out
00:18:01
lie the ladies had had it I just thought that nothing she' told me had been true
00:18:08
armed with evidence from the dumpster and a timeline of events on July 3rd the women marched into Police Headquarters
00:18:16
and demanded action we met at the Dallas Police downtown office walked in the front door and said you're going to
00:18:24
listen to us the cops agreed to take another look but that didn't mean the ladies were
00:18:31
about to let go of their own investigation they tapped into the power of Facebook asking Lisa's Facebook friends
00:18:43
for any information that might help them find her it's been huge we've got a lot
00:18:47
of Clues actually on there it worked one of the strongest Facebook Clues LED them to a creek bed
00:18:56
near Lisa's house [Music] as the ladies worked the case Tina the Facebook Queen took command anything
00:19:15
that comes along we check it out so we've checked a couple of areas that um people gave us a tip they put up this
00:19:22
billboard raised money for a $10,000 reward and created a Facebook page dedic dedicated exclusively to finding
00:19:32
Lisa one Facebook clue LED them to a muddy creek bed not far from Lisa's house what is this place well this is a
00:19:41
Creek area that runs from behind Lisa's house all the way down according to the tip Lisa's girlfriend Sherry was seen in
00:19:51
the area covered with mud several weeks after Lisa disappeared Sher was described as muddy or very
00:19:59
dirty you were in the creek I was in the creek that's right Sher actually admits
00:20:05
she was in the creek that was the day I was surrounded by at least 10 or 15 women in their SUVs and cars trying to
00:20:15
track me down and I felt like I was a rabbit being chased for the hunt that very same day Sherry says a
00:20:26
group of unidentified women started to talk and harass her I come home when I come around the back alley and go
00:20:34
through the gate I see the blinds part inside your house inside the house so I get a little freaked I'm thinking
00:20:42
somebody's in the house now you tell me you wouldn't be scared for that Sher says she ran for her life and that's how
00:20:52
she ended up in the creek I'm afraid I went around through the woods off of that Creek area
00:21:00
the Facebook detectives deny they ever chased Sherry into the creek that day or broke into her house but agree they have
00:21:09
been watching her closely at some point did she accuse all of you of stalking her yes she went to the police yes in
00:21:17
fact the Dallas Police did warn the women to back off after Sherry complained about them has anyone in the
00:21:25
group The the whole group of the women ever maybe cross the line in terms of looking for evidence no I don't I don't
00:21:35
think so no Sherry isn't about to back down from a fight with the Facebook detectives my issue is with three or
00:21:43
four people out there Tina Wy Joanie Shannon and Tammy marle you will not tear down my life you will not point the
00:21:53
finger at me until you have verifiable proof that I have ever done anything other than support Lisa Stone and
00:22:00
whatever she wanted to accomplish in her life Lisa and I love each other end of discussion to hear Sher Henry tell the
00:22:10
story Lisa's friends do nothing of Lisa's real life drama you're on Facebook but yet you claim you're a
00:22:17
really good friend of Lisa so are you saying she didn't really have a relationship with those women I know she
00:22:22
didn't according to Sherry there's a lot about Lisa the Facebook detectives don't
00:22:27
know starting with insurmountable money problems when The Inheritance ran out but there was also a lifelong battle
00:22:35
with depression and dependence on medication and in the months leading up to June of 2010 Sherry says Lisa fell
00:22:44
back into a dangerous old habit what was she doing cocaine she was in a rut and it was more of a a stagnation where she
00:22:53
just couldn't handle it anymore what was her behavior like erratic she would not
00:22:59
be there for a couple of days where was she going I don't know did you ask her yes what did you think she was doing
00:23:06
well I knew that she was partying Sher claims that is the reason why she never filed a missing person's report that's
00:23:13
what I'm trying to tell everyone out there that wants to listen now I don't know if Lisa took off doesn't want to be
00:23:21
found doesn't want help if there truly is a problem she's off her medication she's doing drugs we have a whole mix of
00:23:27
things here but Lisa's Facebook friends were well aware of her troubled life I gave her a
00:23:35
pretty nice sum of money at that point said go get your prescription meds some food and do what you need to do they had
00:23:41
been funneling cash to Lisa for months and pushing her to end what they believed was a volatile and destructive
00:23:48
relationship with Sherry I took Lisa out to dinner in March of 09 and um as we were having dinner that night she told
00:23:57
me that Sherry's mood had gotten increasingly angry if Lisa was so dedicated to Sherry the women believe it
00:24:06
makes no sense that at her neediest moment in life Lisa would just take off a lot of people were worried and about
00:24:14
her her safety but Lisa would listen she would you know she was a grown woman she
00:24:19
wouldn't do anything about it and something else didn't make sense to the women what they found at Lisa's house
00:24:27
which had been empty since Sher moved out last summer it was where the ladies first confronted Sherry when Lisa
00:24:34
disappeared so the night that you were here did you do any kind of investigating or try to look around um I
00:24:42
came into this bathroom it was on that night they noticed something peculiar and which was
00:24:48
still obvious months later when they gave us a tour the bathroom is behind here I could peek in enough to see
00:24:56
everything was in order it looked very clean when you look back here in the bedroom you can still see there's cat
00:25:04
hair the ladies wondered why was the bathroom spotless so somebody cleaned the bathroom but didn't clean the
00:25:14
bedroom was it a crime scene and who cleaned it it was a mystery until neighbor Susan Scott told the Facebook
00:25:23
detectives she noticed something odd about Sherry's hands after Lisa went missing just real red and you know like
00:25:33
blistery red like if You' soak in your hands and bleach and and did you ask her about it yeah and she said well she was
00:25:40
cleaning and she rre of uh ammonia or or Clorox or whatever Susan Scott says that
00:25:47
she saw you with red raw chafed hands and you smelling like bleach because you had been feverishly cleaning inside the
00:25:55
house true or false false didn't happen did not happen Susan Scott also says Sherry had
00:26:03
piled up Lisa's favorite Furniture outside in the weeks after Lisa disappeared she even took this photo we
00:26:12
asked her about the furniture of the neighbor said that she had been giving away it was Lisa's furniture and the
00:26:16
neighbor was very upset Sher says the furniture was given away to the Salvation Army the charity
00:26:23
picked it up about a month after any of Lisa's friends had heard from her but Cherry says Lisa was there for the
00:26:31
pickup because the driver actually checked Lisa's face against her driver's license they actually match her license
00:26:39
with her face Lisa was standing in front of them and they matched a driver's license picture with Lisa standing there
00:26:46
yes but 48 Hours checked with the Salvation Army and according to the charity no one from that organization
00:26:54
ever saw or spoke with Lisa stone at her home I don't want to unjustly accuse anyone
00:27:02
but with all of the investigating and digging it just seems like it all points to one person while the Facebook
00:27:09
detectives have their theories the Dallas Police have a new man on the case with some ideas of his own you would not
00:27:18
have to be detective to think well something stinks here [Music] it's been weeks since anyone is seen or
00:27:33
heard from 51-year-old Lisa Stone and if it weren't for the Facebook detectives the case itself may also have
00:27:42
disappeared we were not going to let this die nobody deserves to just disappear but after being bombarded by
00:27:49
information collected by Lisa's friends the Dallas Police Department is finally taking the situation more seriously
00:27:57
thousands of people will disappear every day in the United States there's not many of them that have a group of
00:28:03
friends such as Lisa had that would push and fight hard to find out what happened
00:28:07
to complete opposite personality Dallas PD veteran homicide detective Jim Gallagher has now been assigned to the
00:28:14
case and says Lisa's friends have done a heck of a job keeping it alive you find
00:28:20
the women credible yes and you found their story about the items being thrown into the dumpster credible yes they
00:28:27
brought a Time line with them they brought photographs with them and after just a few minutes with them it was very
00:28:34
obvious to me that we had something more than a missing person and unfortunately
00:28:38
Gallagher believes at this point the chances of finding Lisa Stone alive are slim I think Lisa Stone was um murdered
00:28:49
I think her body was disposed of I don't think everybody surrounding this case are telling us 100% of the truth
00:28:58
particularly Lisa's girlfriend Gallagher says Sher Henry has been less than forthcoming with information she hasn't
00:29:07
given me a clue about where Lisa is if your roommate's missing my first question was why didn't you make a
00:29:14
missing person's report and what did she say I didn't think she was missing I think she ran off do you define Sher
00:29:21
Henry as a person of interest yes someone that I cannot at this point eliminate as a suspect detective
00:29:27
Gallagher got right in my face and he said we think you're lying what did you tell the cops when they said do you know
00:29:33
where she is they didn't ask me that they didn't ask you where do you know where Lisa stone is they didn't ask me
00:29:38
that no no Dallas police officer has ever asked you do you know where Lisa stone is they didn't ask me that but
00:29:43
they're calling you today to this day they're still calling you their number one person of interest in a homicide
00:29:49
case well I they can call it in a homicide case but where's your evidence that any crime has been committed no
00:29:56
body no crime thing doesn't really fly anymore there are a lot of murder doesn't fly with me anymore is that
00:30:01
because you lived with her you must be involved somehow doesn't fly I'm confident that Sherry isn't tell me 100%
00:30:08
of the truth which is why just a few days after the Facebook friends dropped off the dumpster evidence Dallas police
00:30:16
showed up at Sher and Lisa's house with a search warrant you come in and point AK-47s or whatever automatic weapons in
00:30:24
front of my head and chest at least 8 to 10 of the SWAT people around me a SWAT team showed up to serve a search warrant
00:30:32
you darn right now you tell me what was justifiable in that Gallagher says it wasn't a SWAT team that served the
00:30:42
warrant but armed officers who were following police procedure the search produced some interesting Clues I have
00:30:50
picked up some pieces of evidence in the home pieces of clothing trace evidence some smears
00:30:58
there are ways to find out if anything is being covered up okay I've watched enough crime scene shows to understand
00:31:07
what goes on when you're looking for evidence I guarantee you if they had found blood spatter in that home my butt
00:31:15
would be in jail right now Sher seems to have a lot to say about everything and everyone else yet she refuses to answer
00:31:23
even the most basic question when is the last time you saw Lisa prior to the search warrant being issued and that's
00:31:30
what I'm going to say so I just want to be clear so I've covered my base as a reporter you will not tell us specific
00:31:37
days as to when the last time you spoke with or saw Lisa Stone no I will not no more no more of this it has to stop at
00:31:46
some point and I have to be the one to step up and say enough of this I am not here to have a bunch of people be a
00:31:54
mystery sleuth any longer this has taken a toll on me what these women have done what the
00:32:00
Dallas Police Department have done to me has upended my life to no end interesting because the Facebook friends
00:32:09
say they just want their friend back which they have come to realize may never happen do you believe that Lisa is
00:32:17
still alive today no no I hope but realistically no if something sinister did happen to Lisa Stone two questions
00:32:28
remain what would be the motive here they had severe financial problems Alisa told me that um Sherry would constantly
00:32:38
ask her for money Lisa's neighbor Wanita heard similar stories you think Sherry was taking advantage of Lisa oh of
00:32:46
course she was she told me she ran up her credit cards she told me she wrote hot checks on her you have no proof of
00:32:53
that whatsoever you don't see the money that comes and goes all you know is Lisa
00:32:57
was out of money so oh gosh if Lisa's out of money then Sher must have spent it actually was called but it turns out
00:33:04
that Sher Henry does have a criminal record for stealing money in 1995 she was convicted of forging a check for
00:33:12
more than $8,000 a check in Lisa's father's name I don't want to get into that I made a
00:33:20
huge mistake but I changed I'm a changed person another possible motive sex and love it came as no surprise to the
00:33:31
Facebook detectives when neighbor Susan Scott revealed that Lisa was being cheated on by Sher so Sher had another
00:33:40
girlfriend on the side yeah she started coming over here bringing her phone and talking
00:33:46
to this other girl weeks or months uh yeah a long time were you having another relationship with another woman the
00:33:55
person that is in my life now m mhm is extremely important to me were you having a relationship with her in the
00:34:02
months leading up to Lisa's disappearance if you're going to ask me am I having an affair no I have every
00:34:08
right to move on with my life Lisa knew this so you tell me that Lisa didn't know this Lisa
00:34:16
knew from motive to murder there are so many unanswered questions in this case where do you believe Lisa stone is today
00:34:24
I don't know you had nothing to do with the disappearance of Lisa Stone I had nothing to do with The Disappearance of
00:34:30
Lisa Stone enough of this I want my life back I am not guilty of [Music] anything this is so secluded and so easy
00:34:49
to get to despite their best efforts for nearly a year now they took dogs 30 40 ft to the right of the bridge and 30 40
00:34:57
Fe to the left and kind searching on foot look for clothing bedding anything that you could use to conceal a person
00:35:07
with and spending countless hours on Facebook Lisa Stone's friends are sadly no closer to finding out what happened
00:35:17
to her there are times where we just very disheartened and we just feel so frustrated is like are we wasting our
00:35:23
time but then the next day we all get fired up again it's like no we're not going to let this
00:35:30
die this is not going to go into a coase we are determined that's not going to happen but homicide detective Jim
00:35:40
Gallagher says they may be headed for a dead end I don't know where Lisa stone is I have some theories buried on the
00:35:47
property no into a dumpster Gallagher believes Lisa's body may have been put in a dumpster just
00:35:55
like her personal belongings which were recovered by the Facebook detectives I think that's a possibility based on what
00:36:02
the lady saw Sher doing I've had many investigations where we suspected human remains were disposed of in a dumpster
00:36:09
I've never recovered them because they usually end up going into a landfill then I've spent weeks in landfills
00:36:15
hundreds of feet of garbage it's packed it's incinerated it's chopped dogs are useless because of the many
00:36:25
smells based on his experience Gallagher believes the killer did not act alone whoever did that would need some help
00:36:34
you would have to move that body you would have to dispose it covertly if Lisa died at her home
00:36:41
Gallagher theorizes that whoever disposed of the body would not have been seen the house is set up perfectly for
00:36:51
something like that there's a high fence you could leave that property undetected
00:36:57
just pull out of your driveway into the alley and drive off and Gallagher strongly believes the case will be
00:37:05
solved I can make 10 mistakes a day on this case and probably no repercussions or I won't lose a whole lot whoever did
00:37:13
this can only make one mistake and I'm waiting for that I need a Careless Whisper Gallagher may be waiting for a
00:37:20
whisper but he is number one person of interest is letting out a scream I always told myself
00:37:28
why aren't you out there screaming to the world that you're not guilty is this you screaming to the world you're not
00:37:34
darn right it is I am not guilty of anything the fact is no one has seen this woman alive since the weekend of
00:37:41
June 5th 2010 no one other than you claims to have seen her alive so you understand that does not
00:37:50
look good for Facebook friends to say that I don't know where they're getting their information it's not their
00:37:56
Facebook friends it's the police it's the neighbors did you have anything to do with The Disappearance of Lisa Stone
00:38:02
absolutely not did you kill Lisa Stone absolutely not but where is Lisa Stone today I don't know where do you think
00:38:09
she is I'm not going to I'm not going to speculate on that I'm just not now I may
00:38:13
be at fault in how I handled a situation but don't you dare come to me anymore and tell me that I haven't
00:38:23
cooperated or I am a murderer on this chilly winter morning about a dozen of Lisa's Facebook
00:38:36
friends have gathered to dedicate a bench in her memory father Lisa should be here that
00:38:44
someone has taken her from us father we just pray that you will help us and help the police find Justice
00:38:54
for Lisa there Mission will continue in the field and on Facebook until they can
00:39:03
