00:00:10
I wanted to [music] say that I know everybody doesn't agree on sharing this. [sighs] I feel like I'm lost and just
00:00:18
hoping that one day Caitlyn's story will help someone. I definitely needed somebody to be held
00:00:26
accountable. I needed to tell Caitlyn's [music] story. You know, I needed people
00:00:30
to know about her. >> She was beautiful. She was smart. And she loved to shop and dance. And she had
00:00:37
so many friends. I always described her as glitter. She expressed her individuality through
00:00:44
her hair. She always had different colors and it was always so cute on her. I love the purple on her.
00:00:51
>> She used to travel for those music festivals. I mean, she's been all around the world.
00:00:56
>> Yeah. The shuffling queen. That's what we always say. >> She had the best sense of humor. She
00:01:05
loved Milani. She loved her daughter. >> She was single. She, you know, she was getting a new apartment and she was
00:01:14
starting over. >> I mean, did you worry at all about her safety there? >> No. I thought, man, she's near me, you
00:01:22
know, and I never thought this would happen. Never crossed my mind. Okay, tell me exactly what happened.
00:01:28
>> My roommate's daughter just came and woke me up in my bedroom. >> She told me that something was wrong
00:01:32
with mommy and uh that mommy wouldn't wake up. >> Is she breathing? >> Um, yeah. No, I I don't know. We need to
00:01:41
get here. >> Sheriff's office. >> I was woken up to a phone call. >> Do you know what time it was? It's 5:35
00:01:51
a.m. It was Jacob on the phone saying that Caitlyn [music] is unresponsive. They're doing CPR and the EMS is there.
00:02:00
My sister called. She's like, Sherry, get to Caitlyn's right now. Something's wrong. And my only thought was, "Let me
00:02:08
get to that baby who's up there with Milani. >> Where's the baby at?" >> She's They're in the living room. She's
00:02:13
in the living room. >> I grabbed her and she just like melted into me. Yeah, it was it was pretty bad.
00:02:20
The way the code of Virginia is, nobody can get in trouble for overdoses. >> They asked me, "Does she do drugs? Do I
00:02:27
do drugs? Did you give her something? Does she take something?" I was like, "I don't do drugs."
00:02:33
>> All the signs are looking for like an overdose. >> The police were adamant that it was a
00:02:38
drug overdose. And I'm like, she doesn't do drugs. >> We're taking off at this point. Um,
00:02:42
she's obviously being transported. >> I genuinely believed she's going to be okay. She had CPR. She was alive. She
00:02:49
had a heartbeat. She was going to be okay. >> In the hospital, they even wanted to
00:02:56
bring bring a chaplain in, and I was like, "No, my child's not going to die. I don't need a chaplain in right now."
00:03:03
A tech came to me and walked me outside. She said, "It wasn't drugs. Someone hurt your
00:03:09
baby. Who would want to hurt her?" And she loved everybody and everybody loved her. You know, she didn't have
00:03:17
enemies. that you were aware of. >> Yeah. >> I will never stop seeing my daughter's
00:03:23
name and I will never stop seeking justice for her.
