00:00:01
a cop once told me today's suspect can be tomorrow's victim in the gang unit it's not that uncommon for a detective
00:00:08
to show up to a crime scene and recognize the murder victim as the prime suspect in one of their other murder
00:00:15
cases the cop said it's just how it goes I know a detective who was once investigating a man she thought might be
00:00:23
a serial killer potentially responsible for the murders of numerous women at the
00:00:28
same time she was invest tigating the murder of that man's brother when she talked to the family she had to balance
00:00:35
them as family of her suspect and of one of her victims cops will say you've got
00:00:40
to be mentally prepared to navigate these scenarios not every victim is going to be an angel not every suspect
00:00:47
is going to be a straightforward bad guy but that's the cops mentality not the general Public's especially in this case
00:00:57
for years people in Bakersfield were captivating and devastated by a glossy photo of Bailey in a flowing white dress
00:01:05
leaning up against a tree smiling big at the camera that photo with the word missing was everywhere when they saw her
00:01:13
face and heard her name they thought this poor victim when she was charged with murder
00:01:20
some people who'd been following the case from the start seemed to take it almost as a betrayal it felt somewhat
00:01:26
similar to when a public figure has a fall from grace and people have deep disappointment and anger like they were
00:01:33
let down by this person who they didn't actually know but they felt like they did people had become invested in Bailey
00:01:41
and what had happened to her and some of those people quickly had very strong feelings about the news here's Bailey's
00:01:48
friend Maddie people immediately go in about how she's a murderer and she's this and that and I'm over here like
00:01:55
this woman has not got to speak for herself in 3 years like how dare you say these things about her Bailey's sister
00:02:02
Caitlyn I mean there's a lot if not 90% of people who still stand by her being innocent and then there's that 10%
00:02:12
that's switched from oh this is so sad she's a missing person she's a victim too oh she's this horrible person she
00:02:22
deserves to be missing because of what she did and if she is dead hopefully she went through the same
00:02:30
type of torture and murder that she helped [Music] with I'm Olivia Lavo and this is the
00:02:47
Bakersfield 3 [Music] after the announcement that Bailey was charged with Mike's murder a lot of
00:03:14
people were frankly confused there were lots of comments like I thought the girl
00:03:19
in the Bakersfield 3 was murdered by her boyfriend now you're saying she and the
00:03:23
boyfriend just killed another one of the Bakersfield 3 so did the boyfriend still
00:03:28
kill her or did she run away and then there were the comments about how strange and terrible it was
00:03:35
that Bailey's sister Caitlyn had given her baby girl The Hyphen middle name Micah Bailey people speculated how much
00:03:43
her sister likely regretted that decision now how she should change the baby's name
00:03:49
immediately so much of the focus was on Bailey being charged it seemed like some
00:03:54
people forgot about Matthew Queen and that he was the one who would actually be standing trial and would have the
00:04:00
chance to defend himself Caitlyn and Maddie say that was probably the most painful thing of
00:04:06
all they shouldn't be allowed to legally charge somebody with murder that has been missing for 3 and 1/2 years that's
00:04:16
it's ridiculous in my opinion I would understand if there had been sightings you know that she was just a runaway but
00:04:23
no she is legitimately missing like gone off the face of this Earth I just don't
00:04:29
understand how how somebody who's been missing for going on four years can be charged with first-degree murder when
00:04:36
they're not here to defend themselves Not only was this the first and only time I've had a story where I
00:04:45
have a likely victim publicly accused of being a killer it was also a first to have an accused murderer in my story
00:04:53
that I couldn't at least try to speak with instead I could only talk to people who knew Bailey and get their opinion
00:05:00
and I tried to get a variety here's a self-proclaimed drug dealer who said in his interactions with Bailey I thought
00:05:07
she was batshit crazy beautiful but crazy what did you think when you heard that she was actually being charged for
00:05:18
Micah's murder I don't think she had it in her here's her friend Maddie again I knew
00:05:25
that girl through and through head to toe I could tell tell you the next sentence that would come out of her
00:05:31
mouth before she could say it and that is not in her to do something like that especially with the amount of
00:05:38
gruesomeness that they say took place there and the chopping up and all that I never in a million years do I think she
00:05:47
is capable of that I also asked Jeremy Bell who knew Bailey Micah and James and knew them when they weren't exactly on
00:05:54
this straight and narrow himself included we're not on the right side of the law by any means
00:06:00
Jeremy also admittedly wasn't a fan of Bailey's trouble she had a loud mouth very obnoxious she was a wreck waiting
00:06:11
to happen when I asked if he thinks she's capable of murder I do and I don't it's kind of
00:06:17
hard seeing her I now her talk about it her telling Matt McQueen oh yeah let's yeah you know
00:06:25
I'm down I'm down let's kill I could see her doing that because like I said she came off like she was some badass but
00:06:32
when it came down to it I would guarantee that she would fold Under Pressure she wouldn't she's all
00:06:40
talk I also wanted to hear from Bailey's friend Jessica who lived next door to her in Matthew Queen I figured she'd
00:06:47
have an important perspective having spent a lot of time around the two of them when we would hear about M on the
00:06:53
news or anything they would you know act just as like I wonder where he is like that's crazy we just hung out with
00:07:00
like to where I did not even think twice about them being involved that was the last thought in my mind cuz they were
00:07:08
just so good at like acting like they wanted to know what happened too in terms of bayley's actual
00:07:15
involvement Jessica saw firsthand how biley wanted to come off tough she even supposedly liked that Queen had guns
00:07:22
because Jessica says they made her feel safe made her feel like people wouldn't try to hurt her but she also saw a girl
00:07:29
girl who nursed sickly animals back to health kept baby ducks in her bathtub who would refuse to kill a spider and
00:07:36
insist on gently picking it up and putting it outside the tough exterior she felt was a defense mechanism she'
00:07:43
developed as a response to trauma I know in my heart that she she didn't have it
00:07:50
in her she was all bark no bite when it came to that kind of stuff she just really was a scared puppy in my
00:07:56
eyes of everyone I spoke with about this the person I thought would probably have
00:08:02
the most accurate Sense on the matter was her sister Caitlyn Caitlyn obviously knows Bailey extremely well but just as
00:08:10
importantly Caitlyn sugarcoats nothing and of everyone I've spoken with she's often the harshest when it comes to
00:08:17
Bailey I get it a lot that as her sister that I shouldn't be so brutal with the decisions and the choices that she made
00:08:27
that I should be more sympathetic for it but I'm not and I get hell for it all the time well that's your sister you
00:08:37
should you should have nicer things to say about her well if I sit here and say oh she was an angel she was a saint she
00:08:43
was a perfect girl she was the nicest girl you'd ever meet I'd be lying Caitlyn thinks her sister made a
00:08:53
lot of bad decisions but in terms of murdering Micah I fully 100% believe that if she
00:09:01
did play a part or she did have anything to do with it it was by force but I don't think mentally she
00:09:12
would have it in her to murder somebody no you might remember in episode one Cheryl said Mah's dad Lance had a theory
00:09:25
when he realized Bailey went missing shortly after Micah Lance knew immediately I mean he just cut straight
00:09:32
through it and he said Mike is dead and she knew too much I said something similar when the
00:09:39
moms and I appeared on Dr Phil in 2018 about 8 months after their disappearances something that uh myself
00:09:48
and the mothers we have strongly considered is the possibility that Bailey Bailey knew what happened to
00:09:57
Micah and that made her a liability of sorts that she had that information but being a Target because
00:10:08
she knew too much and being a killer were two very different scenarios the moms and I had even thought that maybe
00:10:15
Bailey unbeknownst to her was used to lure Micah somewhere you may recall Matt Vanda Castile and Matt Queen tried to
00:10:23
attack a guy we calling Sam the two mats got Sam's address after Sam sent it to Bailey
00:10:30
and Bailey snapchatted me uh saying let's meet up and I was all sure you know that I'd love to meet
00:10:38
up when they finally showed when she finally showed up it wasn't her Matt Vander Castile later told
00:10:45
Sergeant Garrett it wasn't actually Bailey who was messaging Sam that day no Matt had her phone oh okay I was
00:10:51
wondering because Bailey's legally was contacting but not her vand Castile said Bailey was at home and it isn't clear if
00:11:00
she knew what was going on or if she gave anyone permission to take her phone she would be pissed that somebody took
00:11:07
her phone and she didn't have it so did Matt Queen do that often take her phone and pretend to be bait that was Jane
00:11:15
going off of what she said the moms and I considered maybe something similar to this incident with Sam happened with
00:11:22
Micah and Bailey found out she was unknowingly used to lure her friend to his death and that didn't sit well with
00:11:29
her but somewhat recently I found out that prior to the charges being filed against Bailey Cheryl and Lance had
00:11:37
privately contemplated the possibility that Bailey could have played a more willing role in what happened to Micah
00:11:44
than the rest of us had considered Lance and I already had an inkling that she if she wasn't involved
00:11:53
she probably lured him to where he was kidnapped from because it had happened before Cheryl says those thoughts began
00:12:03
after the moms came across a disturbing photo with a bizarre and twisted story that went along with it a photograph had
00:12:12
been sent to Micah and this other person indicating that Bailey had been hurt and
00:12:19
it had been sit by Matt Queen and that he was implying well what are you going to do about it kind of a conversation
00:12:27
and Micah went the other person didn't said he was frightened he didn't go and Micah went
00:12:34
and it turned out that she was fine this had happened maybe in the previous year
00:12:41
and she was fine and it was kind of a joke on Micah or whatever the photo sent to Micah and
00:12:48
another guy showed Bailey slouched over a bathtub with what looked like a gunshot wound to her head it's graphic
00:12:55
and pretty unsettling by his own account Matthew Queen said it was a joke that he
00:13:00
and Bailey played on Micah whatever the motive was Cheryl says the takeaway is clear Queen and Bailey knew that if
00:13:07
Bailey seemed to be in some kind of distress Micah would show up to try to help her kind of this big brother thing
00:13:15
I really do feel like it was that type of a relationship I can't prove that but everything kind of points to that I
00:13:23
think the stage photo was just a piece in what we'd find to be a series of strange events involving the circle of
00:13:30
friends including Bailey Micah and Matthew Queen and it would ultimately become part of Sergeant Garrett's
00:13:36
investigation leading him to consider the possibility that Bailey and Matthew Queen were in on the murder together but
00:13:43
the basis of the case was the story Matt vand Castile told Sergeant Garrett and Lieutenant Bagby about a strange night
00:13:51
when Queen and Bailey asked to use his garage they were doing something out in the garage
00:13:59
I thought making guns until later on in the night Bailey came in all shaking up pale as pale as
00:14:07
[ __ ] went in changed their clothes they left the next day Matt show up wanted me
00:14:13
to go drive out somewhere with them to go [ __ ] dump something go get rid of something and I didn't go he got all
00:14:22
pissed off initially Vanda Castile was adamant that on that night Queen only asked him can I use your garage never
00:14:31
specifying what for and that vand Castel himself came to the conclusion once he heard Micah was missing that they must
00:14:39
have killed him that night it was a story investigators weren't buying that's not what you know that's not all
00:14:46
of what you know that's for [ __ ] sure right I see nothing nothing at all there's no body there's nothing in there
00:14:55
no blood no body no evidence of a murder nothing that's a lie be careful how much you
00:15:03
choose to lie if you want the da to come in here and believe that you are worth saving I'm telling you the [ __ ] truth
00:15:09
there there was a there was a a grease spot what was a grease spot there was a there was a grease spot that wasn't
00:15:17
there the day before and there shouldn't have been axle grease smeared all over where it
00:15:23
was then Vanda Castile seemed to budge a little further and brought up in incident involving one of Queen's guns
00:15:31
going missing a gun that apparently had sentimental value Vanda Castile said Queen suspected Micah stole it so that
00:15:39
was a possible motive Vanda Castile said but that was it he said that was really
00:15:45
all he knew but as you've already figured out Lieutenant Bagby wasn't going to just accept that that
00:15:52
easily so like you can keep beating around these bushes all you want to I've told you what the cat mouth game will
00:15:59
get you what you're going to land in is a heap of [ __ ] that's what you're going to land in
00:16:06
you keep playing these games trying to protect your people trying to protect yourself whatever the [ __ ] you're trying
00:16:09
to protect he told me he was going to get Micah to admit to taking his gun when that night I didn't think he was
00:16:17
killing anyone I mean I didn't think it was going that far so he took I thought he was just going to scare him and
00:16:24
question them right get him to admit it and that was it what investigators needed witness testimony that in fact
00:16:34
there was an alleged plan to get Micah to talk that night but Vanda Castile never wavered in his claim that he never
00:16:41
actually saw Micah at his house that night and didn't hear a sound coming from the garage but he admitted he knew
00:16:48
something was off based on Bailey's Behavior he said it started while him and Sarah were minding their own
00:16:55
business hanging out inside his house and Bailey walked in from the G and asked him for
00:17:01
something she came in once asked for scissors left came back in pale flustered shaken and walked straight into the back
00:17:12
with s to change her clothes it freaked her out whatever happened in the garage freaked her out
00:17:19
Vandy Castile said he knew better than to ask Queen many questions but he said he couldn't help bringing up Bailey's
00:17:26
demeanor I just asked I said what's wrong with her oh she's just shaking up shaking up over what she didn't like
00:17:32
what she seen what did she see I don't you mean nothing don't worry about it I mean it's better that you just don't
00:17:39
know everything Vanda Castile said he never flat out asked Queen what happened but he said the writing was on the wall
00:17:47
what do you think happened I think they tortured him and killed him they tortured him with the intent to kill him
00:17:52
you think Bailey had the intent of killing him I can't say about Matt after Micah
00:17:59
was reported missing Vanda Castle says Queen played it off like nothing ever happened I he never talked about that
00:18:08
night he would always talk about how he thinks that Micah split town with some chick you're telling us just make sure
00:18:16
I'm 100% that Bailey participated in torturing Michael holen be yes right and what was her demeanor after all this was
00:18:26
she still around she didn't go Miss until you were in jail I didn't she never came around that much afterwards I
00:18:33
would always show up by himself on his street bike I mean but you didn't see her a
00:18:38
lot but you did see her she still existed yes we went antiquing antique here who went
00:18:47
antiquing he Matt and B you just like went driving around looking antique stores yeah strange you ever go antique
00:18:55
antique stores got some crazy [ __ ] it's quite the image the two couples making an afternoon of antiquing after
00:19:06
that strange night as according to Vanda Castile Queen and Bailey seemingly shared a dark secret while Vanda Castile
00:19:13
and Sarah shared dark suspicions but aside from that outing Vanda Castile told investigators their
00:19:21
forsome wasn't the same after Micah was reported missing he says suddenly Bailey
00:19:27
seemed to never want to leave the house house but Queen on the other hand apparently still wanted to hang out with
00:19:32
Vanda Castile every day after interviewing Vanda Castile Sergeant Garrett had forensics test that grease
00:19:39
stain in the garage underneath they found Micah's blood Garrett also used Queen and Bailey's phone records to
00:19:47
corroborate Vanda castile's Story the prosecutions theory laid out in charging documents is that at some
00:19:54
point on March 22nd 2018 Bailey and kidnapped Micah and as the night crept into the 23rd they
00:20:03
brought him to Vanda castile's garage where they tortured him killed him and ultimately dismembered his body here's a
00:20:11
bizarre detail Vanda Castile told Sergeant Garrett I know he bought a camera and he took pictures of whatever
00:20:17
the [ __ ] they were doing that's what I thought they would did I didn't think someone would take
00:20:22
pictures or [ __ ] like that what do you mean a camera what kind of camera your little Polaroid
00:20:27
camera me and Sarah were playing with it in the house hearing that I thought back to a
00:20:33
recorded phone call between Vanda Castile and Sarah back when they were still dating part of the call was played
00:20:39
in the last episode Sarah tells Vanda Castile she had a dream about Bailey who at this point had been missing for about
00:20:46
a month I was just really [ __ ] up by that dream it felt so real it felt like she actually came back and I haven't
00:20:52
been able to like you know I've always kind I ignored this whole situation for like since I've been getting over and
00:20:59
like you need to not be anywhere around it okay I just talk to don't want to [ __ ] you don't want to push try or
00:21:08
put your nose in any of that I know I know I know I need to keep my nose out of it just baby TR stay out of
00:21:17
it okay I know it's probably best cuz considering two people have gone missing over this this [ __ ] you
00:21:25
know yeah hey you remember that night we were at the house and we're taking pictures with
00:21:32
the polaro camera yeah out those pictures I have one of them the one I wrote on or the one you wrote on I wrote
00:21:43
on all of them but I only have the one of me flipping off the camera that you took yeah I can't find the other one
00:21:51
oh that was a weird night it was a weird night I love you I love you too keep your nose
00:22:01
out of everything I will it seems undeniable the weird night vanic castel's referring to is the night
00:22:11
that Micah was killed in the context of what vand Castile told Sergeant Garrett it made sense why he abruptly asked
00:22:19
Sarah if she remembered the night with the Polaroids in the middle of their conversation about Micah and Bailey
00:22:25
disappearing maybe it was his way of reminding her why she really did need to stop poking around and of course I
00:22:33
thought of the other time Polaroids were mentioned in the case in summer 2018 there was a Polaroid picture on my
00:22:40
windshield of Bailey and Matt Queen and it said love you Mom Jane couldn't prove
00:22:48
it but she had her strong suspicions about who put the Polaroid on her car that morning well there's that Polaroid
00:22:55
that Queen allegedly que put on James windshield correct do you think it was taken that night I mean it did be a fair
00:23:06
assumption that it was taken in close proximity to that cuz they recently acquired that
00:23:12
camera if the Polaroid was taken that night and put on Jane's windshield by Matthew Queen is there a deeper meaning
00:23:20
to it was it Queen sending a message he thought he would only ever know the meaning of I thought back to the strange
00:23:28
message Queen had sent Jane on the afternoon of March 23rd 2018 a date that now carried tremendous
00:23:36
significance Queen first texted Jane that day a long nasty message about how she was too protective of Bailey and how
00:23:43
dare she tell Bailey to murder their baby and he demanded an apology Jane responded seemingly shocked and Confused
00:23:51
saying she never told Bailey to get an abortion and that she had nothing to apologize for Queen then replied quote
00:23:59
seems you've made your bed you'll have to sleep in it now Jane I know you're in special ed so I'll explain that see it's
00:24:07
a metaphor about life the bed is yours you have made a decision about how you want to live your life with or without
00:24:14
me in it and Bailey has made her decision also now we must accept the consequences that go with that decision
00:24:22
we must sleep in our beds goodbye Jane I always thought the wording was strange given they were talking about
00:24:30
biley having a baby something Queen said he wanted in the context it seemed Queen
00:24:36
was saying Bailey made her decision to keep the baby so I never understood why he said we must accept the consequences
00:24:44
that go with that decision it had a negative connotation to it which didn't seem to fit based on Queen saying they
00:24:51
were excited about the pregnancy I realize now Queen sent that text shortly after investigators believe
00:24:58
Micah was murdered and around the time they believe his body was being disposed of was Queen dropping little breadcrumbs
00:25:07
tying Bailey to the crime even then creating a trail he thought no one would ever be able to follow or is it all just
00:25:15
a coincidence you might remember I first started looking into the case about a month after Bailey disappeared when I
00:25:22
found a search warrant that described Queen dropping off her belongings on the front steps of a home where Bailey 's
00:25:28
friend lived Bailey's friend's dad was startled to find her things that day I see bags in my front door and I I looked
00:25:37
down and there was a note and it said um tell Bailey that I love her but I cannot
00:25:44
be with her and just something in between like that like like saying that he didn't want her
00:25:52
back within Bailey's bag was one of her purses tied on the purse was a piece of orange and black rope it didn't mean
00:26:00
anything then but 7 months later after the arm in the duffel bag in the river matched to Micah it was decided Sergeant
00:26:07
Garrett should be the lead investigator on each of the Bakersfield three cases and so the sheriff's department sent
00:26:14
over evidence they'd collected when they were assigned Bailey's case including her belongings Queen dropped off at her
00:26:21
friend's house upon opening up that bag I immediately saw that rope I said I've seen that I know where that came from
00:26:29
Sergeant Garrett saw the rope tied onto the bag that held Micah's arm was the same rope tied to Bailey's purse later
00:26:37
on investigators would also find that same rope tied to Queen's bed post I asked Sergeant Garrett what he makes of
00:26:44
the Rope being tied to Bailey's purse I think it was just an accidental oversight it was on the purse when it
00:26:51
was dropped off it seemed odd to me that any girl would put a piece of thick Orange and
00:26:58
black rope on their handbag certainly wasn't very stylish I mean you'd have to ask him why that's on there I've tried
00:27:06
multiple times and couldn't really get that out of him cuz he didn't really want to talk to me over the years I mean
00:27:12
there's OB obviously theories that you could propose yourself you know maybe he intentionally put that on there to link
00:27:18
her to things I I don't know after the charges against Queen and Bailey were announced I thought back to
00:27:25
the posters that he had taped up over B missing Flyers that Jane had hung up they had a cryptic message about a
00:27:33
villain pretending to be a victim at the time I thought he was referring to Jane
00:27:38
now I wondered if it was actually about Bailey and then there was a message that
00:27:43
Queen put out that was blatant spelling it out clearly but at the time no one really thought anything of it here's D
00:27:51
to explain it was written on our Facebook page by Matt Queen how would you feel if one of the
00:27:58
other Bakersfield 3 I don't remember the exact words was involved in the other one's murder it seems Queen actually
00:28:06
wrote this comment twice it started out with the question what if one of the bk3
00:28:11
was responsible for the other bk3 one variation ended with asking would you be mad the second time he
00:28:19
posted the question he added would the parents still be supportive to one another when he wrote that we talked
00:28:27
about it but we never dreamed that there was any truth to it looking back one could say queen had meticulously planted
00:28:36
seeds of Bailey's guilt over the years but if that had been his intention Sergeant Garrett says it did nothing to
00:28:43
minimize the evidence that linked him to Micah's murder overwhelming circumstantial evidence um then we had
00:28:50
direct evidence that tied him to things I mean I had everything from cell phone evidence to web searches to direct
00:28:59
interviews with subjects codefendants testifying I mean I even had ropes sent to the FBI lab back East that link
00:29:07
things together there's just a multitude of of evidence that just overwhelming and then came one of the
00:29:14
biggest pieces of evidence after a horrific Discovery in August 2021 a little over a year after Queen
00:29:22
and Bailey had been charged a 10-year-old girl was playing at the karna river with her family she said was
00:29:28
under the water skimming the riverbed floor looking for clams when she felt something a heavy bag curious the girl
00:29:36
picked it up and dragged it to Shore that day all police would say was human remains were inside 2 weeks later Cheryl
00:29:44
got a call from the Corner's office so I said okay you know what's going on or whatever and she
00:29:52
said well I'm you may have heard that human remain were found at in the Kern River and I said yes we knew that and
00:30:06
we'd been waiting patiently to hear if there was you know any further DNA testing that needed to happen and you
00:30:14
know we're certainly available for that and I start going down my Spiel and she's oh well it's we have determined
00:30:21
that it's Micah was like okay okay that's good that's good so we have more of him
00:30:30
okay so I was well well did you use our DNA swabs and she said no we were able to use Dental
00:30:39
Impressions because it was his skull Mah skull was found inside a bag meant to hold a motorcycle helmet Queen
00:30:48
was already charged with his murder but the discovery led to even more evidence against him here's Sergeant Garrett I
00:30:55
found video of him of opening up the uh same helmet bag Christmas of 2017 so 3 months before Micah was killed which was
00:31:04
a huge Discovery it made the case stronger and it gave Cheryl what she thought she and
00:31:11
her family wanted more of Micah but getting the news it was his skull took her to a dark
00:31:19
place in the Minds Eye of a grieving parent I learned at that moment that there was a very distinct difference
00:31:28
between your child's arm and hand and their face the first call she made that day
00:31:35
was to Dy Dy was already with Jane and Jane and Dy just so happened to be at the river at the exact spot where the
00:31:43
child found the bag with Micah's skull it felt meant to be but it's not that surprising as Jane had taken to
00:31:51
going to any area where unidentified human remains were found just to scope it out see if she could find any else in
00:31:58
the event that the remains belong to her daughter and D always went with her making such a dreadful task perhaps feel
00:32:05
a little less lonely immediately after getting the news Cheryl met up with Jane and Dy at
00:32:12
the river they embraced her and vowed to support her in what was just the latest
00:32:17
chapter in her nightmare here we were standing out there just walking along the banks and
00:32:24
and and thinking about you know that's where son's face and head and hair were it's
00:32:34
really actually amazing that any of us are standing at this point cuz it's just you know you're just driving down the
00:32:42
street one day and someone tells you your son's skull was found in the river nearby Cheryl said after that she
00:32:51
realized the nightmare she was living might never end after she described it to me there was a long pause pause
00:32:58
before she spontaneously said something about Bailey and mic's case rest of our lives we might get
00:33:06
phone calls saying this is K County coroner we think we might have part of Micah can you come give another set of
00:33:12
DNA swops you know or yeah I mean let's face it his other arm and hand are out there somewhere his
00:33:21
legs or somewhere I can't I mean I know that there are young women out there who have done heinous
00:33:30
things but I just don't see I can't Envision Bailey being a part of that but maybe I you know I I don't
00:33:40
have all the evidence because guess what they don't tell the fames anything we only know what we know and what we've
00:33:47
learned and what we've given them so maybe more will be revealed I don't know but in the
00:33:55
meantime we have his his head and one arm and one hand that was a big question we all had
00:34:06
what was all the evidence that Bailey along with Matthew Queen killed Micah how would the moms feel after seeing it
00:34:13
and hearing it during a trial Would It ultimately bring Cheryl any sense of Peace even in the slightest this was a
00:34:22
question I thought about a lot I knew all Jane wanted was to find Bailey even as she put it if it was just a part of
00:34:30
her and all D wanted was an arrest and charges filed in James's case Cheryl now had both of those things but did it
00:34:38
really make anything any less painful the next thing is a trial and we've been told that that
00:34:46
trial can take months do I want to sit there and and and sit through that for months no but
00:34:56
will I do it yes and then when when that's over and and assuming the best outcome from our
00:35:05
perspective happens and uh we don't have to deal with Matt Queen again in this lifetime you
00:35:18
know will we feel better no will we feel different I hope so Cheryl knew ultimately there'd be parts
00:35:29
during the trial where her pain would be even deeper than it was before where she'd have to sit through testimony and
00:35:36
evidence about her child's horrific murder but in time Cheryl found a way to shift her
00:35:43
Outlook in another life Micah would have been an attorney he was very much uh enjoyed the
00:35:51
law and politics and conversations about those things and he would have been an attorney
00:35:58
and no doubt a prosecutor and going into the trial that's coming I like to think of this as
00:36:07
Micah's this is Micah's day in court this is Micah presenting every piece of evidence he
00:36:15
could leave behind for us including his own blood records on his phone whatever whatever they've got this was
00:36:24
Micah giving us his best shot at catching the person who did this or people and I want to be there for that I
00:36:31
want to be there for Micah getting to prosecute this case along with RDA I just want to see him
00:36:38
win he was a good talker he could probably win I want to sit there and I want to watch that I want to watch him
00:36:46
win so hopefully that [Music] happens next time on the Bakersfield 3 we want you testifying today well I
00:37:00
think it's about time the truth come out what was it like to hear his testimony highly
00:37:05
[Music] shocking for
