00:00:00
that conversation you had with her that day you were there one or two days just one day just for 90 minutes she wasn't
00:00:06
doing well 90 minutes yeah 90 minutes those years all those hours all those people involved dogs and
00:00:14
DNA and it comes down to one 90 minute conversation yeah I just I think it was just kind of a blessing just one of
00:00:20
those things you know it's just timing sometimes and I remember her sincerely being worried about why her picture was
00:00:30
still listed in the missing and unidentified person system to her she felt she was taking the place of another
00:00:37
child that should be there because she wasn't missing she knew she wasn't missing the one question I really wanted
00:00:43
to ask her was how she survived for so many years under the radar she's a runaway living on the street she said
00:00:50
she met a woman named BJ Ward in Salinas and BJ took care of her is there one piece of evidence or person that really
00:00:59
convinces you Phenix Mary is the real Mary Louise day yes Maury Maury Ward Mary told us that one
00:01:07
we were interviewing her and I had never heard that name before Mary's with BJ and her two young
00:01:12
children in Morrie's home Maury had taken a liking to Mary but they don't know where is Mary they know her as
00:01:17
Monica and when I was there and said how did you come up with these names she said I saw a love book and I took that
00:01:25
as meaning like a romance novel but Mary's word for it was a love book and I saw the name Jude Devereaux and
00:01:32
she said I thought it was the prettiest name and so she said I decided to fancy my name up a bit so she took the last
00:01:39
name of Devereaux in fact she said she changed her name to Monica Lee Marie Devereaux
00:01:45
she eventually went off on her own washed dishes worked for cash under the table she just seemed like a survivor
00:01:54
her story that day was believable how convinced are you that the woman who was picked up in Phoenix is the real Mary
00:02:03
Louise day I'm 100% convinced no question no question
