00:00:07
I think we have to fight hard for our love twins and we have to listen to them and be cautious about the people that we
00:00:14
allow into [music] our lives. I wish so much that I would have fought harder for Mom.
00:00:26
I'm an only child of Kim Langwell. [music] She made me her whole world. She was my best [music] friend.
00:00:37
In July of 1999, I was [music] a normal 15-year-old teenager. Everything seemed pretty perfect in life.
00:00:52
July 9th, what are your plans for that night? We were going to go out to eat. She called me after work just to make
00:00:59
sure that I [music] was on track, you know, ready for for dinner that night. And then I can't get a hold of her.
00:01:07
I immediately start texting her 911. She just never called. And all I could think about was, "Well,
00:01:15
maybe there's something, you know, that >> [music] >> that she's just not telling me." And you
00:01:20
just keep thinking, she was just there. She was just on the phone. What do I do?
00:01:28
I woke up to my phone ringing and it was Ken Weatherford, my mom's boyfriend. [music]
00:01:32
"Hey, did your mom come home?" And I said, "No, she's not here." And he said, "Well, Tiffany, I didn't
00:01:37
tell you last night that I was looking for and I saw her car. I I think you need to call somebody. I think
00:01:44
something's wrong." So, detective, where was her car? Her car was parked right about where I'm parked now.
00:01:52
You're looking for physical evidence. We were looking for blood. We were looking
00:01:56
for a body. Looking for a crime scene. And And we had none of that. She just disappeared.
00:02:03
I think for the first year I kept it together and then after that, it just falls apart.
00:02:09
>> [music] >> The person that you depend on for everything is now gone. In the spring of 2023, my supervisors
00:02:25
[music] filled me in on reopening the investigation. Our overall goal was just to get answers
00:02:31
for the family. We definitely got the feeling that people were not being completely honest
00:02:37
in their statements [music] that they had provided back in 1999. She had a social life and she interacted
00:02:43
with a lot of people. This man was writing her love letters. There is [music] a stack an inch and a half
00:02:49
thick. This is a lot of love letters. >> It's It's a lot. "Kim, I have developed this terribly
00:02:54
strong crush on you. Something must be done about it." We're seeing obsessive behavior here.
00:03:00
We didn't want to get tunnel vision. Do we have any named suspects in [music] this file?
00:03:05
You know, some cases rely on the physical evidence. There's DNA. There's a body. This doesn't exist. We cannot
00:03:11
find Kimberly. We called Tim Miller. [music] He's the founder of Texas EquuSearch.
00:03:18
They actually specialize in looking for missing people. It doesn't matter when we get that phone
00:03:23
call. We're there to help family, help law enforcement. We took a chance [music] and it was a good choice.
00:03:30
This house is where we found the most disturbing scene, something I've never seen or heard of in my law
00:03:36
[music] enforcement career.
