00:03:53
and tonight A detective paint pinpoints his former colleagues saying he's still a person of interest in this unsolved
00:03:58
cake and that's not all our Amanda Hall talked to one mom who still has no answers about what happened to her only
00:04:05
son Amanda that's right detective O'Neill with the major crimes unit has been on both of
00:04:10
these cases for most of those eight years he tells me he's been all the way to Canada chasing leads but that all of
00:04:16
the real corroborated evidence leads right back here to Collier County still wakes me up through the middle of the
00:04:22
night and my mind is just racing constantly thinking about you know has the sheriff's department everything that
00:04:30
they were supposed to do it's been eight years since Marcia Williams spoke with her son Terence eight years his four
00:04:36
children have been without a father and though the oldest two are teenagers now they don't speculate about what happened
00:04:42
to Terence the truth was told to them in the beginning [Applause] and he disappeared Terence Williams was last
00:04:59
seen near North Naples cemetery on January 12 2004. my Corporal Steve Calkins who said he gave Williams a ride
00:05:07
to a convenience store foreign I hope everyone was paying attention and listening closely during this week's
00:05:30
trailer because that was a great summary of this week's cases that's right cases
00:05:36
because as you heard in the trailer we have two missing persons but these two missing persons cases are much different
00:05:44
than the case we covered last week in fact these two cases are much different than any other missing person's cases
00:05:51
covered here before for starters last week's case Logan schindelman that case is truly a mystery because unfortunately
00:06:00
just like Brandon Swanson and Brandon Lawson Logan's disappearance is a story where the leads are mysterious so much
00:06:09
so that the leads may not be leads at all or could have nothing to do with his case or why he is still missing this
00:06:17
week's cases Captain have a potentially big lead and share a commonality that not only linked the the two cases but
00:06:26
the possibility that the reason that these two individuals are still missing as of January 2021 is that just maybe
00:06:35
someone is responsible for the two missing men both of these cases and the men we are looking for are Felipe Santos
00:06:45
and Terence Williams both of these cases are classified as missing endangered and
00:06:51
law enforcement speak endangered is a classification upgrade from Simply missing when it's more than reasonable
00:06:59
to infer that the missing individual or in this case individuals are missing because of Foul Play is involved I think
00:07:08
these cases are going to make people look at other missing person cases a lot differently but here we have two missing
00:07:15
males and both law enforcement believed to be endangered again the names of those two Felipe Santos and Terence
00:07:23
Williams now these two individuals did not vanish together in fact there is zero evidence that the two men even knew
00:07:32
one another but these cases unless we find some reason to tell us otherwise will forever be linked together because
00:07:39
first we have Felipe Santos who goes missing and other than his close friends and relatives there was not a whole heck
00:07:48
of a lot of activity as far as actually looking for this guy or any type of investigation is concerned until later
00:07:56
when Terence Williams goes missing and then both cases become very active now we are not the first obviously to tell
00:08:06
this story but because Terence disappearance really kicked off the major investigation often the details
00:08:14
surrounding his disappearance are told first but here captain in this garage we will start at the beginning as to not
00:08:22
make things any more confusing than they all ready are Felipe Santos his last known whereabouts were from October 14
00:08:31
2003 when he was known to be alive and well in Naples Florida my research found that Felipe has two birth dates listed
00:08:40
with different agencies assisting in the search for him as of this recording Felipe would be 40 or 42 years of age
00:08:49
depending on which agency is reporting Felipe is a Hispanic male and at the time of his disappearance October of
00:08:59
2003 he was in his early twenties there is a listed birthday of January 1st 1979
00:09:06
and some agencies give his date of birth as May 26 1980. and a good description at the time
00:09:16
Felipe went missing is as follows Felipe's height and weight are listed at five foot seven inches 150 pounds the
00:09:25
Charlie project Liz Felipe as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes Santos wore his hair in a ponytail at
00:09:33
the time of his disappearance he is a Mexican Citizen and speaks Spanish and very limited English
00:09:40
as for clothing Felipe was wearing what is described as a t-shirt blue jeans and
00:09:46
boots on that day now the details of this disappearance as said Felipe Santos was last seen in
00:09:54
Naples Florida on October 14 2003. a lot of the reports out there Captain a lot of the online reports list
00:10:03
him as going missing on October 1st right of 2003 which is just incorrect if you do a little digging if you go to the
00:10:12
Collier County Sheriff's office website they clearly state that he was last seen
00:10:18
on the 14th and they have police reports and other records to back up that date right so just so I'm clear you're saying
00:10:26
that he's a citizen of Mexico he's not a citizen of United States correct he would be an undocumented worker at the
00:10:35
time of his disappearance he was driving to work with two of his brothers Felipe is driving a white 1988
00:10:43
Ford truck at 6 30 a.m Felipe's vehicle hit another vehicle near the Green Tree shopping center at Airport Pulling Road
00:10:54
and Immokalee Road this is a busy area in the immediate area we have a lot of storefronts fast food restaurants gas
00:11:03
stations and behind most of those storefronts and businesses there are neighborhoods and condo communities
00:11:09
right people in the area would tell you that immokalea road is a busy road even at 6 30 a.m on a Tuesday so we have this
00:11:20
vehicle accident no one is hurt in the accident and the damage to both vehicles is rather minor a Collier County
00:11:29
Sheriff's deputy Corporal Stephen Henry Calkins arrived at the scene now there are three persons and Felipe's vehicle
00:11:38
including himself and he is straight with the officer and tells Corporal Calkins he's the one driving and he
00:11:47
doesn't have a license or insurance on the vehicle neither of his brothers would have a
00:11:54
license or insurance on the vehicle as well right Felipe Santos is the at fault driver in this vehicle accident
00:12:04
situation the sheriff's deputy Stephen Calkins cites Felipe Santos for reckless driving and for driving without a
00:12:12
license or insurance now there will be plenty of witnesses too much of what is happening right as we already
00:12:21
established this is a busy area this is a well-lit area even though it would be you know rather dark at this time so we
00:12:29
will have plenty of passer buyers and at the very least we will have Felipe's two
00:12:36
brothers that were traveling with him that morning and we have the driver of the other vehicle so we have witnesses
00:12:42
as to what's going on now the driver of the other vehicle says that when officer Calkins arrived
00:12:51
on the scene he seemed agitated right from the get-go yeah some people were mad to have to do their their job I love
00:12:59
those people yeah the people that Grunt and sigh and yeah make make noises when you ask them to do the job that you're
00:13:06
paying them for yeah my favorite is when you're in line and somebody goes next next and you just know they don't want
00:13:13
to be here so what we have here is a very differing in opinions we have Calkins who says that he did not arrest
00:13:23
Santos however we have all three Witnesses his two brothers and the other driver do we know anything about the
00:13:32
other driver we do um I know that her name is on record somewhere right um we don't want to give
00:13:40
her name but I'm just saying I'm assuming that she's a legal citizen that is correct that is correct and and she
00:13:47
has been in interviewed multiple times now what we have here though is we have all three of these witnesses that would
00:13:55
later say that they all just assumed that Felipe Santos was under arrest by the officer because they all witnessed
00:14:03
officer Calkins put Santos in the back of his patrol car and then the patrol crawler drives off and did they say that
00:14:11
he was handcuffed um no I don't believe that that is in the reports right but we could assume he
00:14:19
may have been um there's also a chance with this being these are rather minor infractions I
00:14:26
mean him being here undocumented could lead to him being deported but these are not violent offenses I don't see much of
00:14:35
a reason to slap some cuffs on this guy if especially if it seems like he's cooperating you know he is at least
00:14:42
honest and forthcoming with hey I don't have a license and I don't have insurance on this vehicle cool but you
00:14:49
can't let him drive away if you're the officer you know he doesn't have a license you
00:14:54
can't let him drive away so basically what you're telling me is this officer arrests him puts him in the back of the
00:15:01
car leaves who drives the vehicle away or did they have it towed from my understanding the vehicle was not towed
00:15:10
and the officer did not request a toe because he said that it was not in the way of traffic right but you can't let
00:15:19
one of the brothers just drive the car because you know they have no license oh but see what you are stating here
00:15:28
Captain are all things that make a whole lot of sense well I like to show up and
00:15:33
do my job well what we're going to see here is a lot of officers Officer Caulkins actions
00:15:40
and what he will say he's doing it doesn't really add up it doesn't track if you if you try to reason with
00:15:49
it and make sense of his actions because what he says is look Santos I changed my mind he was nice he
00:15:59
was polite and so I decided not to arrest him not to drive him to the jail instead I drove him to a Circle K gas
00:16:09
station because I didn't want him driving the truck off but right again as you already pointed out that makes zero
00:16:19
sense because you are fully aware at this time as the officer that the other two individuals in the truck they did
00:16:26
not possess a legal driver's license either and you just left them there and what do you do if you're them
00:16:32
you're left you don't know what to do with the car are you going to call somebody to have
00:16:39
them come pick you up no you probably have to get to a job site or you're going to lose your job so one of them
00:16:45
probably jumped in the driver's seat and drove both of them to work so these are
00:16:51
let's let's track this and and how it's going to really become known that something fishy is going yeah but hold
00:16:56
on a second when have you ever heard of a police officer any law enforcement driving somebody to jail and just decide
00:17:06
you know what changed my mind changed my mind I'll just drop you off at this gas station you know what though
00:17:14
I play it out in my mind a thousand times because you and I are nice guys I can Envision if if we were the officer
00:17:20
you know you're chatting up the guy chatting up the perp a little bit and at some point you look back and you go you
00:17:26
know what son I like the cut of your jib you need a break this guy needs a break
00:17:29
I'm gonna let you out yeah but you don't let him out you take him to the police station and you say call somebody from
00:17:36
here I'm not going to arrest you I'm not going to book you but once you take um ownership I guess of that individual
00:17:47
it's your job to make sure that they are safe right he's he's officially regardless of how Calkins wants to spin
00:17:56
it later if this dude's in the back of your car he's in your custody right and you are
00:18:02
then a steward of him you are responsible for him right so what's safer having him get a ride from the
00:18:09
police department or dropping him off at the Circle K well let's let's go through
00:18:13
this because there's some details that we we need to get to so how this all comes about or at least how everyone
00:18:20
becomes aware of this rather quickly of potentially this young man having gone missing is that later that same day
00:18:29
Santos's boss contacted the local jail because he wanted to bail him out hey I need my
00:18:36
worker back right right so this is a nice boss going to bailout this young man so he can get back to work the next
00:18:43
day well he doesn't speak a lot of English but he might be like the contact person
00:18:50
you know I mean like where where he's able to communicate with the other workers for his boss so the boss man
00:18:57
finds out that Felipe Santos was never booked at the jail okay and we've kind of circled around this a little bit but
00:19:04
let's go through it in in detail this is because officer Calkins never took Santos to jail when questioned well this
00:19:12
is what he's claiming officer Calkins says he changed his mind about taking Santos to jail saying he found Santos to
00:19:18
be a polite and nice young man so instead Calkins drove Santos to a Circle K convenience store slash gas station
00:19:27
this would be about one mile away from the site of the accident Caulkin says one he didn't have Santos's vehicle
00:19:36
towed away from the scene because it was not obstructing traffic Caulkins says he
00:19:41
took Santos somewhere that Santos could call someone and he could get a ride from a licensed driver there he didn't
00:19:50
want to leave Santos with the vehicle fearing that Santos would get back in the truck and drive off so officer
00:19:56
Calkins according to his statements took Philippe Santos to the Circle K and drops him off there Culkin says he last
00:20:04
Saw Santos walking toward the pay phones at the Circle K again he's your responsibility you don't just leave him
00:20:14
walking towards the pay phone and this is a mile from the wreckage it's roughly he says roughly a mile it's
00:20:23
actually fairly close if you look at it on a map it's it's pretty close I mean I
00:20:28
don't want to can I start poking holes in this dumb story or do you have more to go no go ahead well first of all if
00:20:36
you're concerned that he's going to get back in his truck you might want to drop
00:20:39
him off somewhere farther than a mile it'll take him less than 15 minutes to walk back and jump in his truck and go
00:20:45
correct right and you don't even sit there and wait for him to call somebody or to wait to make sure that he gets a
00:20:54
ride it just doesn't make any sense and on top of that okay I understand not Towing the vehicle it's not in the way
00:21:02
it's not damaged somebody could drive it off but you left two other illegal immigrants with no driver's
00:21:11
license buy the truck so who do you think is going to drive the truck um this it just doesn't make a lot of
00:21:19
sense no it makes it makes zero sense at all what would make the most sense is he
00:21:25
decided to arrest the guy and take him to jail and Santos should have arrived at the jail at some point that's what
00:21:32
would make the most sense yeah again even if you change your mind on arresting him and you wanted to give him
00:21:38
a break you didn't even make it a mile away with the guy he must have been really nice and polite in a very short
00:21:45
period of time yeah to convince you to let him go especially a guy that we know doesn't speak English that well no he so
00:21:53
Felipe Santos has never been heard from again since this incident right here after his disappearance his brother
00:22:01
filed a complaint against Caulkins with the sheriff's office but Calkins was cleared of any wrongdoing I do want to
00:22:10
point out captain that this was over the course of a couple of months he wasn't cleared I believe until early January of
00:22:18
2004 of any wrongdoing there's a lot of reasons why Caulkins should be cleared and I can see
00:22:27
why he would be cleared in any wrongdoing in this particular case now we're going to get into some things that
00:22:34
are not very nice and don't put officer Calkins in a very nice light here and I don't think he's going to have any
00:22:42
friends any garage Friends by the time we're done with these two episodes but but we don't have any garage friends we
00:22:50
need to look at this one we're going to stay water here and we also need to look
00:22:54
at the actions of the Collier County Sheriff's Office well okay my other question is this is a busy road so we
00:23:03
should have eyewitnesses at the gas station and the Circle K possibly some video footage
00:23:10
from businesses in that area that would be able to back up his story yeah this is a busy road this is a busy area that
00:23:19
Circle K would be busy I'm very familiar with this area this is an area that I travel to annually and these roads are
00:23:27
always busy especially in the morning hours and in the morning hours you see a lot of workers keep in mind this is
00:23:34
Florida it gets very hot there and so what we have going on is a lot of these uh people that might be laborers or have
00:23:44
very physical jobs they want to get an early start you want to start early before before it gets way too hot These
00:23:52
Guys these brothers were in concrete and masonry work that's tough work that's tough work especially when it gets to be
00:24:00
80 90 degrees out and what you will see in this area typically uh you will see a
00:24:06
lot of construction guys a lot of landscapers and so such that that are up and you see the trucks moving on these
00:24:14
busy roads early in the morning 6 7 A.M getting ready to get that early jump get
00:24:19
the get a good work in on that day now I was kind of circling around the Sheriff's Office one thing that we have
00:24:28
to keep in mind here is they did clear Caulkins of any wrongdoing in Santos's case this is initially they're going to
00:24:36
go back on this later but initially they clear him of any wrongdoing and I think
00:24:41
you you can see why As I Lay this out here for you Captain as we said earlier Felipe Santos is a Mexican national at
00:24:49
the time of his disappearance he's living in Florida illegally it looks like he had been living there
00:24:55
for about three years at the time of his disappearance we said he was on his way
00:25:00
into work before the traffic accident he was employed with a concrete company he
00:25:06
was sending money back to his family in Mexico I've seen different reports here some reports state that he was married
00:25:14
some state that he had a girlfriend some state that uh he had both some state that the girlfriend lived
00:25:22
here or his girlfriend or wife still lived in Mexico regardless of whom was living where what we can say for certain
00:25:30
is all reports indicate that he had some family here in Florida and some families
00:25:36
still in Mexico and he was sending money back to the family in Mexico from time to time now the reason why you're going
00:25:44
to clear Caulkins of any wrongdoing is a warrant goes out for the arrest of Felipe Santos
00:25:54
okay because this is the next month in November of 2003 a warrant was issued for Santos after he failed to appear in
00:26:03
court for a hearing regarding the traffic accident of the day that he vanished now at that time in late 2003
00:26:11
investigators believed that Santos probably returned to Mexico or was in hiding to avoid the charges he was
00:26:20
facing or avoid being deported right so reasonable explanation as to believe why we cannot
00:26:30
find this dude now that's all going to become a big problem for officer Calkins in January of 2004.
00:27:23
[Music] all right we're back cheers mates cheers to all the True Crime addicts cheers to
00:27:31
you Colonel cheers there Captain this brings us to our second case this is the missing person's case of Terence
00:27:40
Williams and the details of this case are as follows on Sunday January 11th before he went to bed Jason Gonzalez
00:27:52
this is Terence Williams roommate says that he spoke to Terence on the phone on that evening
00:28:00
a little background on Terence Williams he grew up in Tennessee before moving to
00:28:05
Naples Florida to be closer to his mother he has a roommate this is Jason Gonzalez
00:28:13
and at the time Terence Williams is working two jobs during the day he works as a construction worker and in the
00:28:21
evening he works at a local Pizza Hut restaurant he's working two jobs because he has four children and he has to pay a
00:28:30
lot of Child Support he's working on a Little Caesar Pizza Hut right right now on this night on this Sunday night
00:28:39
Terrence Williams is invited to go to an after work party with a bunch of the Pizza Hut employees and co-workers
00:28:48
he does not have an active or valid driver's license at this time what's with all these people that don't have
00:28:55
Driver's License Driving Around well if you're an undocumented uh worker oh right somebody that's not supposed to be
00:29:03
here leaving harder to get a license you can't just walk in and get a driver's license now Terence he is a different
00:29:10
situation his license has been revoked from a DUI okay so he recently purchased a white
00:29:19
Cadillac now this is one of those big old school white Cadillacs I believe it was a 1983 Prime year right it was a
00:29:29
premiere for the Cadillac well he purchased the vehicle because at some point and fairly soon he's going to get
00:29:36
his license back okay right so he will be legally driving but not on this day and that's why he's calling his roommate
00:29:45
he's saying hey I was invited to go to this after work party why don't you go with me you can be the driver right you
00:29:52
know you you take your vehicle I'll ride shotgun we'll go have a good time at this party the roommate says I don't
00:29:58
want to go right so against better judgment Terence decides he's just going to drive his vehicle and
00:30:07
go to this party well we can all agree this is a bad decision but it's also there's some evidence of him making bad
00:30:14
decisions he obviously got a DUI he obviously was drunk at some point and decided to drive his car Williams is not
00:30:21
like a what I would call a bad guy but he's no he's no saint either he's he's done some he's had some infractions yeah
00:30:29
good people make bad decisions from time to time on this day he decides to drive
00:30:33
now as far as all Witnesses are concerned Terence left this party sometime around 6 a.m the following day
00:30:42
so this would now be Monday January 12th at the time he is 27 years old and he's
00:30:49
coming up on his 28th birthday relatively soon at some point he is pulled over or
00:31:00
he's involved with this officer Calkins again and it's a little it's a little confusing as to why because what we're
00:31:08
going to have is Culkin's statement of why the two were interacting with each other officer Caulkin says that at some
00:31:15
point on the 12th he Witnesses a Cadillac who is it appears that they're having some kind of mechanical trouble
00:31:24
with the vehicle he says he asked the driver if everything's okay the driver tells him that he's having trouble with
00:31:32
the engine and that's when they start interacting with one another right what goes on from here is somewhat similar to
00:31:41
what we saw in the Santos case where Williams is eventually put into Caulkins vehicle
00:31:51
and then they drive off there's some problems with this whole story and we're going to kind of back
00:31:58
into it here Captain so what happens is we have Terence Williams's family they call police and they filed a missing
00:32:05
person's report this is because at some point on the 13th the roommate Jason Gonzalez he reaches out to Williams's
00:32:14
mother and says hey my roommate your son went to this party the other night I've
00:32:20
not seen him since I spoke with some of the people that he worked with they say he left at 6 a.m on the 12th now it's
00:32:28
the 13th this dude's not showed up for work he's not come home do you know where he is mom doesn't know where he is
00:32:36
now we're getting concerned relatives the ant get involved everybody's kind of calling around Captain checking local
00:32:43
jails hospitals what they end up doing is they end up tracking down his white Cadillac they find that the vehicle was
00:32:54
towed oh the way that they're going to trace this thing back is the person that signed off on the toe is an officer
00:33:00
Calkins well looky looky looky so now they want to know why the vehicle was towed and where their family member
00:33:09
is so they're calling the sheriff's the Collier County Sheriff's Office and asking did Calkins Drive off with this
00:33:18
guy our son or our family member they have reason to believe so because by this point they already know that the vehicle
00:33:28
was towed from a cemetery right the family reaches out to that Cemetery because of course you're going to want
00:33:33
to know why is my relative in the cemetery why was the vehicle towed from there they speak with a couple of the
00:33:40
the employees of the cemetery who tell them we witnessed a Collier County sheriff's car drive off with Terence in
00:33:49
the back right now I'm going to jump ahead here just a second captain because I want to go through an incident report
00:33:56
that was filed by Officer Calkins this was just a few days after he picks up Williams and again that's in dispute
00:34:06
okay and we will see that in this incident report Calkins report states that he first came in contact with
00:34:13
Terence Williams at 12 15 PM after noticing that the vehicle and I I did some double checking in my notes it was
00:34:22
a 1984 white Cadillac was driving quote in distress the officer claimed that he followed Terence to a cemetery parking
00:34:32
lot and then Terence asked him for a ride to a nearby Circle K convenience store
00:34:39
because he was running late for work okay A little clarification here this is not the same Circle K that we've
00:34:48
previously discussed in the Santos case right however this is still Collier County and these are not you know the
00:34:57
distance between this traffic stop and the previous one not terribly far away from one another what goes down here is
00:35:07
to fill in some of the blanks that are missing from this report here is that Caulkin states that Terence Williams
00:35:14
only gives him his first name tells him that he's having trouble with the vehicle and that he's running late for
00:35:21
work he works according to Calkins Terence tells him that he works at that Circle K
00:35:28
originally Calkins says look I can call a taxi cab for you I'm not giving you a ride I can call a cab for you he says
00:35:36
Williams tells him I can't afford to pay for a cab so at some point Calkins agrees to take him to this Circle K and
00:35:46
he points out to him hey you know your tags are expired you've not provided me with any information and Caulkins says
00:35:54
that Terence Williams told him all of the information that the officer was looking for is in the glove box of his
00:36:01
vehicle and after he drops him off at the Circle K I imagine if we're going to believe this story the way this is going
00:36:08
down is Williams tells him this in route to the Circle K right and says you can go back and you can find all that
00:36:15
information inside the vehicle after you drop me off yeah but this thing about this for a
00:36:21
second on is it believable it makes some sense I have a DUI I don't have a license I'm
00:36:30
not legally allowed to drive this vehicle so if I'm stopped on the side of the road and here comes a police officer
00:36:39
as long as I don't give him my full name he can't look me up right and if I'm not
00:36:48
in the vehicle at the time that the officer approaches me he can't prove that I was driving right right so all
00:36:58
that kind of makes sense and then you go well everybody then says well well look
00:37:03
he didn't work at the Circle K well again that's another I'm not going to give you my full name and by the way I
00:37:10
work down the street at the Circle K could you give me a ride what's at the Circle K a pay phone or possibly the
00:37:19
work phone this the story kind of makes sense in this in the way of somebody not
00:37:24
trying to get in trouble for illegally driving yeah and that's what we'll we'll go through and I think that you know a
00:37:31
lot of people view this and they go well this is completely made up this is all a
00:37:37
bunch of BS and I I don't think so I think that there are details in this story that some of them are probably
00:37:45
true and just by making some inferences like you just did you can see why some of these things might be true here so
00:37:54
continuing on in the incident report filed by Officer Calkins he says that Williams told him that the paperwork for
00:38:01
the vehicle was in the vehicle's glove compartment and the officer claims that he then returned after dropping
00:38:08
Terence Williams off at the Circle K that he returned to the Cadillac to discover that the proper registration
00:38:15
the information that he was looking for was not it was not in fact in the vehicle and so now he's sitting there
00:38:23
going okay well this guy lied to me and I fell for it right I was being a nice guy I gave him a lift I fell for so he
00:38:32
says at this time that the officer says that he called the Circle K from his work issued cell phone he's got like a
00:38:40
Nextel that they carry back then mind you this is January 2004 top of the line you know one thing that I always wonder
00:38:50
about let's get sidetracked here for a second right those next tells remember had they had
00:38:55
that walkie-talkie feature yeah where you could just hit the button you had like people you could scroll through you
00:39:00
just hit the button and instantly you're communicated with them like they don't even have to pick up it just talks right
00:39:06
I thought that was the coolest thing somehow we've gone away from that because maybe it's an invasion of
00:39:12
privacy so where I think there are some truths here okay is one thing that I find interesting is this Circle K
00:39:22
the Caulkins claims that Williams asked him to drive him to there is evidence that Williams was a
00:39:30
regular at this Circle K that he would frequently get gas there that he okay because I'm trying to figure out what
00:39:37
what is a regular at a gas station oh somebody that gets gas there somebody maybe buy smokes dude anybody that's
00:39:44
worked at a gas station will tell you there there are some people you see every single day really yeah you have
00:39:50
certain people that will drop in for coffee on their way to work every single day that they work some people that pick
00:39:56
up cigarettes on their way home or pick up beer on their way home there are people that you will see several times a
00:40:02
week and I imagine you know Terence was a smoker and the comments I found was that he purchased gas there regularly he
00:40:09
purchased cigarettes there regularly so that makes some sense I always thought gas station would be an interesting job
00:40:17
like you'd see a lot of interesting people and a lot of interesting situations go down I've worked at gas
00:40:23
stations I enjoyed working there one thing that I enjoyed was I enjoyed seeing seeing the people regularly you
00:40:29
know the regulars right you have a very brief interaction with them and it's usually very pleasant and uh so anyway
00:40:35
the thing here though that's that's interesting is Culkin says he calls the Circle K because he's like all right
00:40:43
this dude tricked me he asked for Terence Williams Culkin says that a female employee a lady
00:40:51
employee picks up the phone I think this is important and we'll get into this in
00:40:55
a little bit but he says that he asked for Terence Williams the lady working who answered
00:41:02
the phone tells him I don't know who you're talking about I don't there's nobody here nobody works here with the
00:41:08
name Terence Williams so now he's like oh this guy really pulled one over on me according to the report officer Calkins
00:41:16
then called in the license plate number and found that the plates were expired weird that he didn't run those plates
00:41:24
before he gave him a lift well there's a lot of weirdness with this story so a lot of weirdness with you right he's now
00:41:33
back he being the officers back at the cemetery with the vehicle and that's when he calls it in to have the vehicle
00:41:40
towed saying that he believes that the vehicle was either abandoned or potentially stolen because it's not
00:41:49
registered to Terence Williams right the the last person that was registered to the registration makes makes little
00:41:57
sense or no sense I should say to me so I'm sure that giving him the benefit of the
00:42:03
doubt here Caulkins probably thought there's a chance that this vehicle could be stolen
00:42:10
we go through that incident report because what we're going to have Captain is we're going to have witnesses who
00:42:17
tell us something very different okay and those witnesses will be the workers at the cemetery now mind you this is at
00:42:28
noon it's all going down around noon and one o'clock in the afternoon and I I have a question in here that
00:42:37
that may not have anything to do with the case but I found myself wondering we have a witness saying that that he left
00:42:45
the party at 6 a.m and then we don't have anything with Terence Williams until this vehicle situation around noon
00:42:54
so we got a missing window of six hours that could potentially be important to this case what we do have here though is
00:43:03
if we are to believe any or some of Culkin's story is that he decides to give Terence
00:43:10
Williams a ride he returns to the vehicle and then he has it towed there's a couple problems in here and the
00:43:17
cemetery workers will say a couple of things one just like in the previous situation they believe that Terence
00:43:24
Williams was being placed under arrest they witnessed him being Pat patted down and then placed into the back of the
00:43:32
sheriff's vehicle right but sometimes when an officer gives a person a ride they still Pat them down and make sure
00:43:39
they have no weapons on them that's correct the other issue is that they say that when officer Calkins came back to
00:43:47
the scene that he now had access to the keys to the vehicle to the Cadillac and this is because they say that he
00:43:57
moved the vehicle got out of the vehicle and then threw the keys in the grass they believed that he moved the vehicle
00:44:06
so that he could say that the vehicle was obstructing traffic and therefore it needed to be towed later when questioned
00:44:15
Caulkins is going to say that he found the keys inside the vehicle when he returned to the vehicle to find the
00:44:22
paperwork and the information that he was looking for that Williams told him he would find there well the problem is
00:44:28
we have eyewitnesses from a distance there's no way they would know when he had the keys or how he came about the
00:44:35
case all we know is he had them in his possession at some point and the time it frame where he has these keys
00:44:42
Terence Williams is no longer around he's no longer with the vehicle right Calkins does not say he never says that
00:44:49
he moved the vehicle in fact he denies that however we have Cemetery employee Witnesses saying he in fact did move the
00:44:57
vehicle and then threw the keys away as so that they would not be found very odd
00:45:02
thing for them to lie about well and to give right and I I'll give them credibility one in the situation that
00:45:10
they have no dog in the fight here they have no reason to make things up right and then take that a step further one of
00:45:18
the employees is retired law enforcement look if he was going to air on the side of protecting his fellow
00:45:27
officer well we're just getting the truth is what I what I really believe from these Witnesses right the Circle K
00:45:35
convenience store where Calkins says that he dropped Terence Williams off at that day it's located in the vicinity of
00:45:44
Wiggins Pass Road and U.S 41. now both of these Circle K's are still they're still standing in an operation today
00:45:54
they are different locations but I'm giving you the area of this one so that we can determine one thing because we
00:46:04
have witnesses that are by the Cadillac that say that they are seeing officer Calkins return to the vehicle anywhere
00:46:12
from 15 minutes to one hour later and this matches up with him calling in the toe as well because he's calling in the
00:46:22
toe remember he says he's first encountered Terence Williams at 12 15. and then he's calling in the toe at 12
00:46:30
57 p.m these are per police records dispatch records and such so that all lines up with what these
00:46:38
eyewitnesses are saying and this Circle K is roughly about a seven minute drive from the location of the Cadillac at
00:46:48
this Naples Memorial Cemetery but again there's no video footage of caulking on the property
00:46:55
that's what's really really difficult in this situation okay so hard to miss a police car well
00:47:04
yes and no and that's why I say it's difficult most Reports most online reports that you will find will stay
00:47:12
very clearly that there is no eyewitness having seen Caulkins his vehicle at the
00:47:21
Circle K that day or having seen Terence Williams at the Circle K that day we do
00:47:28
know because mind you Williams's family they're actively looking for him within days of him having Gone Missing
00:47:36
so they're filing a missing persons report and they're piecing things together they're the ones that are
00:47:42
coming up with the breadcrumb trail to try to lead to their missing loved one and what they uncover is this
00:47:49
interaction with officer Calkins so we have Collier County Sheriff's Office they're going to go to the Circle K
00:47:56
they're going to review surveillance footage that's available to them and to which they never find any indication at
00:48:04
all you know they don't spot Terrence Williams they don't spot the officer Caulkins either now we should point out
00:48:12
again this is a very busy area middle of the day there's a chance I believe there's a chance that either of them or
00:48:19
both of them could have been there maybe they just weren't picked up on camera for whatever reason the reason why I say
00:48:25
that is because there is one person there is one employee who has said that they saw both Terence Williams and
00:48:35
officer Calkins that day at the Circle K right this employee she says and I find
00:48:42
this to be interesting because remember from the incident report officer Calkins
00:48:47
says that he called the Circle K and spoke with a female employee and we have a female eyewitness right this could
00:48:56
just be something that's coincidence what have you however it lines up at the end of the day it still lines up
00:49:03
yeah this witness says that she had worked there for a long period of time and she recognized Terence Williams as a
00:49:11
regular she didn't know him by name but recognized him by face as he came in there often for gas and for cigarettes
00:49:19
she says that she saw Terence Williams fill up a gas can outside you know you you walk up and you you fill up your can
00:49:29
and then you make you know you make your way out of the place she says that she believed that he was walking off in the
00:49:37
direction of Wiggins Pass Road she also said that she spoke with officer Calkins
00:49:44
because he came in to the gas station used the restroom and then asked a question or two about Terence Williams
00:49:52
before leaving well and she remembered how bad it smelled I don't this is what's difficult Captain
00:49:59
because you would think if he went inside and used the restroom and spoke to her
00:50:03
inside that he would definitely appear on the surveillance footage now right I don't know
00:50:10
where they're filming and where they're not filming at this location so it's difficult to tell we do not have a an
00:50:18
extremely detailed report from the Sheriff's Office well I think the other problem too with these reports is is it
00:50:25
possible that he was seen on on film but they didn't collect that evidence because they didn't know that they
00:50:33
needed to from what I've been told in this situation and um I believe in the Santos situation as
00:50:40
well is that officers reviewed hours of surveillance footage from both of these Circle Ks the one thing that we know to
00:50:49
be true okay there are some question marks in the things we just discussed but one
00:50:54
thing we know to be true that is an absolute lie as far as his incident report goes
00:51:02
the Nextel cell phone that officer Calkins says that he used to call the Circle K to verify if
00:51:10
Terence Williams worked there or was still there we know that that is a lie because that
00:51:18
cell phone is owned by the Sheriff's Department they're trying to back up his story
00:51:25
they look it up there's no call in their records from that cell phone to the Circle K and in his incident report he's
00:51:33
very specific about this he says I used my Nextel Sheriff's Office phone to call the
00:51:42
Circle K and I had the Circle K's number because I keep a phone book in the patrol car with me that's very specific
00:51:51
detailed information to which the Sheriff's Office can 100 percent say that's false we can tell by
00:51:59
the records you did not use that phone to call the Circle K so now we are left with the big question
00:52:06
lots of questions and at the top of that list is what in fact really did happen that day
00:52:12
and where the hell are these two missing men not only are they missing but they're endangered missing Terence
00:52:19
Williams is described as African-American five feet eight inches tall 160 to 170 pounds with brown eyes
00:52:28
and brown hair he has several tattoos a t the letter T above his left chest E.T on his right shoulder and Terence in red
00:52:41
with blue highlights on his left forearm he also has a gold crown with the letter
00:52:47
t on the upper right tooth and the other upper front tooth is solid gold so some
00:52:55
very distinctive marks and identifiers on Terence he also has a vertical scar on his right shoulder and a dark
00:53:04
birthmark on the right side of his abdomen he was last seen wearing a short sleeve shirt blue jeans and brown Timber
00:53:12
in Boots he was also wearing diamond earrings and a watch with a silver band The Face of the watch was surrounded by
00:53:21
white stones if anybody has any information in either case please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8477
