[Music] [Music] I'm raising my family here my parents raised their family here and their
00:00:19
parents raised their family here it's a place that I like to call home and hopefully this is where I'll remain
00:00:25
Cleveland Tennessee is beautiful known as the city with spirit and you can't swing a ball bat without hitting a
00:00:35
church a lot of people know one another and what you do have a lot of older homes and a lot of history here I'm very
00:00:42
proud of our town I've been a hairdresser for over 30 years do you have certain Lots that you kind
00:00:52
of click with and you're closer to and for me Marsha was one of those clients she was fun she was outgoing she was one
00:01:02
of my favorite cousins she did confide in me and I can find it in her she was beautiful she was always kind she loved
00:01:12
her husband she mentioned him every time when I think of her my first few words would not be giving loving I didn't see
00:01:21
a lot of that from her even as her stepdaughter how would you describe her loner I believe that she was very
00:01:29
depressed a case it sounds like a 48 hours mystery Bradley County woman disappears without a trace it struck me
00:01:38
oh my goodness she's you know she's not been in that is odd and I said you know what time did he she's overdue
00:01:46
when Marsha disappeared in June of 2009 her husband Donnie Brantley did not report her missing it's hard seeing my
00:01:55
father in this way it's a scary thing I know the inside of this man and the heart of him he wouldn't hurt anyone he
00:02:04
loved her yes and they had a real marriage during the years of your marriage am I correct that she
00:02:13
maintained romantic relationships with persons other than your wife what advice of counsel I believe the fit
00:02:23
we have a guy who's told numerous lies about where his wife went and we can prove otherwise he may be the singularly
00:02:32
most dishonest defendant I've ever dealt with authorities have not located Marcia's
00:02:39
body but we're able to charge her husband with premeditated first-degree murder based on evidence I think we have
00:02:46
a great circumstantial case there's no blood no fingerprints no DNA no body and there's no crime scene what proof is
00:02:55
there that she's in fact debt as opposed to gone missing or living someplace else
00:03:01
I felt compelled to find out what happened to her I knew that something was very very wrong
00:03:09
he murdered her he murdered her that's crazy ridiculous charging you with first-degree murder do you understand
00:03:21
what the charges it's just not and he's 100% innocent of these charges if he did
00:03:26
do something to her and if I just let this go he'll get away with it [Music]
