David says straight to Marietta's face that he is not the man who abducted Susie. But Marietta knows in her gut she
00:00:06
like she knows she was just face-to-face with the guy who kidnapped her daughter.
00:00:10
However, because he denies [music] it, they tell her they can't do anything. >> What do you do? Like you come all the
00:00:17
way to Montana and they're just going to like let him walk out of there? >> know how they went back the first time
00:00:24
and like to go back again to not like knowing you know >> Knowing you saw him. >> I I don't know.
00:00:30
I don't know. But they send them back to Michigan. [music] And the FBI profiler says that if David is their guy, he will
00:00:38
want to regain power over the situation. He's going to call Marietta again soon.
00:00:42
That's what they say. And they say in the meantime they're going to be surveilling him, watching his every
00:00:47
move. And they do a pretty good job. But one day in late September, agents somehow lose track of him. And of
00:00:54
course, that's exactly when the phone rings at the Yaeger house. And Marietta didn't come to play.
00:01:01
When she accepts the long distance call, she gets right to it. And she literally says, "Hello David."
00:01:08
And listen, he tries to play dumb. Like, "Who's David? I don't know what you're talking about." But Marietta is like,
00:01:13
"David, I just sat across from you. I know it's you." But he won't admit anything to her
00:01:19
still. But he is still saying that he has Susie and he's saying that Susie is safe. And so she says the same thing she
00:01:25
said all along, "Prove it." And that's when the voice of a little girl comes on the phone
00:01:32
and says, "This guy, he's nice and I'm sitting on his lap." Now Marietta knows her daughter's voice.
00:01:40
[music] Even after all this time, she would recognize it. That was not her daughter.
00:01:46
This call triggers an intense reaction from authorities. They swarm Manhattan, Montana,
00:01:53
but David's in the wind. Even his lawyer doesn't have tabs on him. And now that he seems to be on the run, the county
00:02:00
prosecutor agrees to an arrest warrant. But within 18 hours, David reappears in town swearing that he's just like been
00:02:07
there the whole time. But they find a piece of paper in his pocket from the motel in Salt Lake City where they
00:02:13
determined that last call to Marietta was made from. So now it's over. And it's almost as if he wanted to get
00:02:20
caught. And when investigators [music] go back and tear apart his pro property looking for more,
00:02:26
>> [music] >> they realize they must have missed something the first time. And the most
00:02:30
damning piece of evidence is actually packed away in David's freezer.
