it was January 16th 2008 the weather that night was icy cold sley it was one of the coldest nights
00:00:23
that year I will never be able to ever forget the details of that night they are burned into my mind forever and
00:00:33
ever that was the night that my daughter and granddaughter died Katie just loved riverlin with all
00:00:41
of her heart she was so proud of her she loved being a mother she was just a person that was so
00:00:48
full of life she's right here and she is not on the track her body is actually right
00:00:58
here beside the track her body was right here beside the track my name is Rick Alik and in 2008 I
00:01:05
was the case agent in charge of the overseeing the death of Katie major I've had several train incidents
00:01:12
but not one where I had a mother deceased and a child the baby was found over here in
00:01:22
this ponding area see it's all full of water and drowned in that area so is your opinion of what happened out here
00:01:31
that this essentially was a murder suicide that's my theory do you think your sister Katie
00:01:39
committed suicide absolutely not do you believe that your sister Katie murdered her daughter absolutely not she loved
00:01:46
her daughter with all her heart my name is rer be a Kickboxer for 10 years it just was really hard to get any
00:01:54
communication with the sheriff's department they didn't want to hear from me what they said happened back then is
00:02:00
absolutely not the truth it can't be my name is Jessica Sanders I'm a private investigator and I've been
00:02:07
investigating the death of Katie major she didn't step in front of that train if she had been there would have
00:02:14
been no open casket there would have been pieces everywhere it was ruled a suicide within
00:02:22
days I knew no way and I would fight with everything I had to prove that my mom was trying to get just ice for her
00:02:30
daughter and then here's where Katie called me mhm and my mom wasn't going to stop until somebody listened to her and
00:02:38
nobody did that's the last phone call on record they avoided me they absolutely avoided me they labeled her as crazy
00:02:48
because she wasn't giving up Katie was still alive I think that's really what it all was about it was easier to
00:02:54
dismiss her than to answer her what I'm holding here Vicki gave us it's dozens and dozens of pages of
00:03:04
emails that she said that she sent to you during that time then you didn't answer one of
00:03:09
these I don't recall Vicki had a lot of roadblocks but she didn't give up she's held true to
00:03:18
her word I remember I was just walking outside by myself and I just looked up and I said Katie and River I promise you
00:03:28
I will do whatever it takes to find the truth [Music]
