everybody gather around grab a chair grab a beer let's talk some true [Music] crime
00:04:01
[Music] all right Captain yesterday we went through the search and rescue efforts
00:04:17
for detres green and when we got to the end of our search and rescue timeline there we were really starting to see a
00:04:24
lot of red flags as to detres Green's home situation and parents situation as well all right so do you want to hear
00:04:33
what might be the reddest of flags or maybe it's the largest of the red flags which would make more sense to say go
00:04:41
for it all right this is this could blow your mind so adjust your headphones properly at no time repeat at no time
00:04:50
did the parents of detres green ever give or provide a photograph of this kid to the Searchers to police or any
00:05:00
Authority at all not on the day that the boy went missing which I guess okay you've been hit by a a tornado it's been
00:05:08
a a natural disaster so I'll give them a break as to their home was hit hard destroyed by this tornado okay so maybe
00:05:16
you can't find a photograph of him or maybe that's not the first thing on your mind but let's fast forward here it's
00:05:23
been over 4 years now and they are still yet to give or provide a photograph to police Poli well and we know that his
00:05:31
father had a cell phone so most people these days maybe you don't have an actual physical picture of your child
00:05:38
but you would have a bunch of pictures in your phone correct and that's what makes your head kind of spin here
00:05:44
because you're going all right um maybe you couldn't find a physical photo because your home was destroyed but as
00:05:50
you said digital photos somewhere right in the cloud on your cell phone did you find your phone do your family members
00:05:59
do your extended family have any photographs of your son because according to your story mom and dad he
00:06:06
was over slightly over two years old when this tornado takes him and everybody knows how parents are of small
00:06:16
children they're constantly taking photographs of these kids and so I just find this incredibly bizarre again maybe
00:06:24
they didn't find their cell phone but couldn't you reach out to other people so this tells me two things than Captain
00:06:30
one you don't really want to find or further probably don't even care if detres is ever found and two you
00:06:40
probably don't have any photos of your boy and I don't think this tornado is to blame I think Kevan and adasia are to
00:06:47
blame well it also makes you wonder was there some foul play that happened to that this child and then later they use
00:06:55
the tornado as a an excuse to cover up something bad that they did to this child I mean this father seems more
00:07:06
interested in finding his cell phone than he does finding his child and that by Webster's Dictionary makes him a
00:07:15
piece of [ __ ] yeah so we have media who went looking for photographs of the boy
00:07:20
as well right because they're into uncovering the truth they couldn't find anything in regards to detres Green
00:07:29
now one photo of detres as an infant supposedly I've not seen this but I've been told this is the situation so I
00:07:39
throw in the word supposedly appeared on Facebook but even if that's true that is
00:07:44
it the infant photo on Facebook if true that is the only known photograph digital or paper to have ever existed of
00:07:54
a sweet little boy who was alive and well according to his parents he is alive and well for over two years until
00:08:02
a terrible storm stole him from you and you the parents loved him so very much that you took one single photograph of
00:08:12
him remember what you say when what we would say when we were kids bull pucky right I call Bull pucky on this whole
00:08:22
situation involving the storm well and I'm going to say something and you might think I'm crazy but it really starts
00:08:28
making you question did this child even exist at all I don't find that to be a crazy statement at all and in fact
00:08:36
that's what a lot of other people in this situation started to question just within a week or two of the boy missing
00:08:44
so then we have gbi gbi gets called in at some point Georgia Bureau of Investigation so if you're going to call
00:08:52
in somebody to get to the bottom of something and you live in the state of Georgia these are the people to call so
00:08:59
we have gbi who says it's impossible to find a missing person if you don't know what they look like gbi special agent
00:09:06
Porter told the media quote it's very unusual maybe somebody out there has a photo and they just haven't brought it
00:09:13
Forward yet but it is unusual end quote then you have the dowy County Police Captain Tom Jackson who said There Are
00:09:22
No photos that I know of of detres green to me that is a little strange that two
00:09:27
parents would not have a photo of their child not to mention that it makes it extremely difficult to locate a person
00:09:34
when you don't know what he looks like I wouldn't say that's a little strange I'd
00:09:38
say that's wildly strange I'm with you I think that the police captain and gbi special agent that they're being overly
00:09:47
polite about the situation now law enforcement was clearly unsettled by this non-existent photo situation when D
00:09:55
trees's extended family was asked about it D trees's great great grandfather Willie Rainey told
00:10:02
WB that his granddaughter explained it away saying there were some pictures according to my granddaughter but she
00:10:09
said her phone got lost during the storm now Willie Rainey I like this guy the grandfather of adasia and he's the
00:10:21
great-grandfather of detres I like this guy he's he does not have ad's back by giving the statement he simply passing
00:10:29
along to the media what she told him he's not coming to her defense he's just saying look they're not talking to you
00:10:37
guys and you keep asking people what's going on this is what they have told me her father her grandfather I'm sorry has
00:10:45
gone out of his way to say he is suspicious of everything that adasia has told him he's suspicious about Kevan and
00:10:53
his actions so this is not a grandfather running to her rescue here's the thing that I want to point out to adasia and
00:11:01
Kevan if you're listening the simple truth of your family and your child to me looking in from the outside it's as
00:11:11
simple as this it looks to me like neither of you cared about detres enough to take his picture and you know what
00:11:18
Mom and Dad even Casey Anthony had pictures of Kaylee her daughter there was another
00:11:26
big red flag raising questions about Kevan and adasia that's right Captain another perhaps Kevan and adasia should
00:11:33
open up a big red flag store because they got plenty of them to sell they have red flags coming out of their ass
00:11:40
right so Emergen Emergency Management Personnel were on site at the mobile home park where detres green lived
00:11:48
immediately after the storm we covered that in yesterday's show about one hour after the storm passed in fact yet none
00:11:55
of the First Responders recall having any any inter action with d trees's parents at that time no one came out of
00:12:02
the trailer screaming about their missing kid in fact the four remaining family members left they left and went
00:12:10
to a relatives home mom and dad scooped up their two remaining children and drove off into the sunset so here's a a
00:12:18
very quick and short timeline the tornado hit dowy County at 3:15 p.m. adasia called police to report the trees
00:12:27
missing at 8:10 p.m. on Sunday night that's why they weren't looking for the boy until that night 5 hours elapsed
00:12:35
before she called well you know just to play a little devil's advocate here Casey Anthony never called the police
00:12:42
until she was forced to by her family all right so so we have if you're keeping score at home people one to one
00:12:50
one to one greens have one point and Casey Anthony has one point and if you're tied with Casey Anthony you're a
00:12:56
giant pile of [ __ ] you got a whole set of problems and you're the and you're to
00:13:01
blame for those so the gbi special agent Porter again remarked to the news saying
00:13:07
that it was very significant this is a very significant Gap in time for parents to be missing a child so that kind of
00:13:14
stuck out to them especially because emergency Personnel were on the scene in the trailer park within an hour banging
00:13:21
on doors they're not waiting for people to come to them and ask for help they're
00:13:25
going door too and helping people and getting them out of their homes and doing whatever they can to assist and
00:13:32
help these people well let's see what these POS have to say for themselves okay Captain so we have
00:13:40
Cheryl bird she's a spokeswoman for the County's Emergency Management agency she
00:13:46
says that adasia told the agency that she last Saw detres walking toward the back door of that mobile home then the
00:13:54
storm hit the tree fell through the roof and it was chaos the power went out the
00:13:59
family had to leave and go to a relative's home which they did that evening and then they reported d trees
00:14:05
missing at that point so it seems to me based off of this statement what adasia seems to be implying is that they had to
00:14:13
leave and go to a relatives to use the phone to call police well and that makes sense with the story though if if the
00:14:21
father could not find his cell phone it does make sense but once you start to line these things up you go all right
00:14:29
are they stalling are did they get out of that area on purpose I mean if it takes you four to five hours to drive
00:14:36
somewhere to make that emergency phone call there's a phone somewhere between you and that and the time that it takes
00:14:44
to travel that distance right I don't know how far away the relatives home was I tried to find that because I wanted to
00:14:50
go okay well if they would have left at this time they could have been there possibly for two hours before they made
00:14:56
the phone call I couldn't figure that out but then we also have to keep in mind we have the neighbor who's out
00:15:02
helping people pulling people out of the debris he pulls out their daughter says
00:15:07
do you need anything else and the father tells him no we're all good here well your son is still missing maybe Kevan
00:15:15
didn't know that he was missing at that time I don't believe it I actually don't
00:15:19
think that that was the last time that these parents saw their son then we have emergency crews we have a neighbor out
00:15:26
helping right after the storm emergency crews with in the hour at the mobile home park it all seems to me like these
00:15:34
people were trying to get out of Dodge they wanted to get away from a situation they wanted to report him missing that's
00:15:42
obvious because they did in fact do that five hours later they wanted everybody to know that the kid was missing and it
00:15:49
the storm was to blame but they didn't want to be there and have to answer questions face to face they didn't want
00:15:55
to have to do an interview face to face right and that seems to me obviously you
00:16:01
can't pre-plan these things it seems to me like that was at some point that it became their plan so let's talk about
00:16:09
the 911 call calling in to report him missing but like you said the 911 call came in five hours later five hours
00:16:17
after the storm hit right after the tornado passed through so the Albany Harold interviewed the 911 operator
00:16:26
again this is because the parents are just not making themselves accessible to the media so you go to you take the next
00:16:32
step you have to interview the operator who took the call instead of adasia who placed the call that night the 911
00:16:40
Communications manager this is Sheila Sims said that the call came from ad Deja rainy and it was one of the most
00:16:47
unusual missing person's calls in all of her time working as a dispatcher she says that she at that time she had been
00:16:55
there for 18 years and and she went on to describe how calmly adasia sounded when she called 911 adding quote in my
00:17:05
experience with a child that age the parents are usually hysterical and screaming that we are not doing enough
00:17:13
and we just didn't get that I believe the first call came in shortly after 8:00 p.m. these are again her words it
00:17:20
may have been 8:01 or 82 p.m. adasia was not at the address where this took place
00:17:25
where her story happened she said that she had to get to a phone to call us and that was hours later end quote in the
00:17:34
call Adia said to Shelly I was trying to call 911 to report my son missing I don't know where he is the wind must
00:17:42
have toted him off or something were her words now Shelley went on to ask adasia
00:17:49
if she had searched the trailer park for her son and Adia responded yeah I did I
00:17:54
didn't walk all over I just tried to hurry up and see shelter they told us to come to the front I'm guessing this is
00:18:02
the front of the the mobile home park and I checked everywhere in our area and I couldn't see him so according to the
00:18:09
parents of detres After the Storm they looked around didn't see him and then left to go call 911 from a family
00:18:15
member's home 5 hours later they never mentioned him to emergency crews who were there to help on site to help uh as
00:18:25
we said Captain gbi was called in and we have a statement from Chief Battle of the dowy County Police Department
00:18:35
announcing that they requested that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation become involved she said basically we've
00:18:43
searched for this child along with experts in search and rescue for five days it wasn't until that Friday on at
00:18:54
2:30 p.m. on January 27th that the search was called off and she announced to the public hey this
00:19:02
is a police investigation and we've brought in gbi to assist us in this case because
00:19:10
you can see the complexities of this case already what also makes you wonder the maturity level of the parents the
00:19:18
emotional maturity level of the parents and also just is is there some mental health issues is is there maybe
00:19:30
even some disabilities there because they're they're acting so strange compared to how you think somebody else
00:19:39
would act or how you would compare how you would act yourself agreed you do wonder that but to me they're acting
00:19:46
guilty they're acting guilty of something that they're just not telling us um their their behavior is highly
00:19:53
suspicious and it almost seems to me like they are doing their best to cover something up
00:20:02
give a story stick to it and then be unavailable and uncooperative with investigators media and so on so that
00:20:11
they don't have to be held to task right they don't have to have their feet held
00:20:16
to the Flames to answer the tough questions and further they are not even assisting in the search for this little
00:20:25
boy let's say that a storm took him and and he was found alive and well and maybe it took a lot longer than anybody
00:20:33
expected two weeks 3 weeks a month whatever but let's say and pretend that they found the Tes green alive and well
00:20:41
and they returned him at some point one I'd have to wonder if they would return him knowing the parents' actions or lack
00:20:48
of action to help find him but then could you imagine you go to see your great-grandfather or your great aunt as
00:20:56
a young adult and maybe they can't keep quiet anymore and they say you know you were missing all that time and we were
00:21:04
so glad and so blessed to find you but you know I have to tell you your mom and dad didn't help in the search for you at
00:21:12
all yeah that's pretty awful so of course Captain for all of the reasons we have previously discussed gbi officials
00:21:19
were suspicious to say the least that the parents were not being entirely forthcoming about what happened to their
00:21:25
son the two largest red flags biggest red flags are just what we pointed out before one there's no photo of him that
00:21:35
gbi could find and two let's not forget that prior to that tornado no one had seen him recently and we're not you know
00:21:43
we're not talking about hours or days we mean months no one has seen detr Green in months leading up to this tornado and
00:21:52
then in regards to gbi and their investigation on January 31st so they are only on the case for about
00:22:01
two days at this point gbi conducted a dig at a house located at 10:06 Pine knot Road in
00:22:10
Ashburn it turns out this is the former home of Kevan and adasia the gbi spent over two hours at
00:22:19
the home digging in at least two locations now they said of the search in the end there's nothing that they can
00:22:26
release at the time that they were following up on evidence from the case they did say hey like the media caught
00:22:32
wind of this oh you're you're searching for detres green but you're not searching for him in the area that he
00:22:38
was supposedly living when he went missing according to Mom and Dad you're now looking for him at a prior
00:22:44
residents and they were not quiet about this they didn't go out of their way to make an announcement but when asked they
00:22:50
said yes we're searching a a previous residence of of Kevan and adasia we know that at one time or it's believed at one
00:23:00
time that Tres green lived here with them and we're letting the evidence take us where it will take us in this case
00:23:07
and it is 100% our search of that area was 100% due to the ongoing investigation of the trees green and his

for telling a friend make sure you subscribe and give us five stars cheers to you Colonel what a frustrating case
00:26:01
this is so far cheers to you Captain cheers to everybody out there that's ever given us five stars now
00:26:10
gbi this is their investigation man and something you had asked earlier you said
00:26:15
hey I'm going to throw the statement out there I'm starting to wonder if this kid
00:26:18
ever existed at all am I crazy and I said no you're not because we have a few days in or a couple weeks in I'm sorry
00:26:25
where gbi saying not only have we not seen a photograph of this kid not only can we not find anybody that's ever seen
00:26:32
him other than the the two parents and this you know one Aunt of hers right and I guess the brother that's backing up
00:26:40
green kavan's brother so we got four people that claims to have seen the kid at some point in their in his two years
00:26:48
of existence they're also saying at this point we can't find a birth certificate
00:26:54
for detes so it is not crazy to think surprise surprise that he may not have ever existed so it sounds to me gbi is
00:27:03
being very thorough here in their investigation they're they're covering all their bases here and looking into
00:27:09
any of these possibilities but also from a citizen standpoint I think the masses it's easier for you and I and for
00:27:20
everybody out there to go you know what okay maybe these people didn't do something horrible to this kid maybe
00:27:27
maybe they didn't harm their own child maybe he just never existed and they made up the existence of this boy to
00:27:35
collect welfare or gain assistance of some sort that it was more of a more of a fraudulent thing rather than well what
00:27:43
would be a homicide negligent or otherwise we have the three-year-old daughter and then we have an infant and
00:27:49
so we're saying that detres was two so that puts you know him and his older sibling pretty close together an age
00:28:00
well and we have this interesting statement from the police department too that says and this is a quote from the
00:28:09
news says I understand that there have been people that adasia has contacted that have actually seen this child but
00:28:17
not within the last couple of months or maybe a year or so so police can't find anybody that has seen the kid in a
00:28:26
couple of months but also adding in their statement maybe up to a year or so right but again let's just say let's
00:28:34
just say hypothetically I have this child child is born at the age of two or three I then make up that they have a
00:28:42
sibling I could probably change the dress of that baby and from a distance or through
00:28:50
pictures or or not much interaction between the child and other individuals convince you that I have two
00:29:00
children you just never seen both of them at the same time and as more and more time passed captain and there was
00:29:07
no sign of detres as his parents stopped cooperating that's what the papers say I
00:29:13
I question if they ever cooperated to begin with we do know that they cut off Communications with investigators if
00:29:19
they ever really communicated with them to begin with law enforcement spoke in terms that plainly conveyed their
00:29:25
suspicions of the parents at some point when talking about this case with the media in November of 2017 with d detres
00:29:33
gone 11 months the police captain said that the case is frustrating to police because until someone speaks up the
00:29:41
truth about what happened to detres will never be proven and I think it's interesting you know we've talked about
00:29:50
this in regards to Deli and other cases uh BTK the list goes on and on and on police
00:29:57
work within the confines that they have to but they but they are very aware most
00:30:04
times the better agencies are anyway they are very aware of the words that they choose to use when giving
00:30:11
statements to the media and the public and here the captain chooses to use the word proven the truth about what
00:30:20
happened to detres Green will never be proven until somebody speaks up and tells us the truth right interesting
00:30:27
used chose to use the word proven instead of known what that tells us is that investigators have a good idea possibly
00:30:37
even know what happened to detres they just don't have enough for an arrest I agree possibly you know and they know
00:30:45
who's responsible too they just don't know where to take this case because there's there's so much lacking
00:30:53
there's so many so much information that's lacking for them to to work with to build a case I I I tend to try to
00:31:01
think of these cases I find them to be more interesting if I if I kind of focus on what would I be doing as law
00:31:08
enforcement and if the parents came forward and said look the TZ was was never a real kid who made him up for
00:31:18
fraudulent reasons I don't know if you could initially believe them you would need to have proof of this right because
00:31:27
and you know that because if if they now come clean and say look he never existed
00:31:33
well you all been lying to everybody for two years so how can we believe anything
00:31:38
you say you're you're exactly right there you have to to confirm that and find a way to confirm that but let's
00:31:45
bring back in Lisa remember this is AD deia's aunt and she's been very vocal in this case as well as ad's great or ad's
00:31:54
grandfather and I commend an Applause her family for going out of their way to try to clear a lot of this up and try to
00:32:03
provide some of the truth and to publicly you know I understand you don't want to air your dirty laundry right but
00:32:12
after months and months and months and you're seeing parents act suspiciously the whole time
00:32:19
I applaud them for bringing their suspicions to the media and voicing their concerns about these parents to
00:32:25
the media so Lisa her aunt says and this is pretty revealing and very damning information she worked in the Turner
00:32:35
County 911 Center in Ashburn this is the same town where her niece lived before moving to the mobile home park Lisa says
00:32:45
look we were too we we were very close at one time me and adasia she says that when she worked at the 911 call center
00:32:54
she heard a lot of calls involving Kevan green now this started before adasia and
00:33:03
Kevan were even in a relationship together she was hearing 911 calls regarding this Kev and green before
00:33:09
they're in a relationship together she says that at the time so this would have been
00:33:15
2010 Kevan was 22 years old he was a trucker uh his wife at the time would call 911 repeatedly charging that Kevan
00:33:25
was beating her in front of their small children now no charges were ever filed and the two eventually separated but
00:33:34
stayed married for a while So Lisa was horrified when in 2012 her beloved niece Adia introduced her new
00:33:44
boyfriend to the family Kev and green adasia was still in high school at Turner County High School in the ROC
00:33:53
program at this time Kevan was more than seven years her senior Lisa says that she warned adasia about Kevan and
00:34:02
everyone in her family did but the two announced their engagement in late 2012 as adasia was entering her senior year
00:34:09
in high school Kevan was still married to his first wife at the time this this always drives me nuts this is one of
00:34:17
those things that makes me makes me want to just go out side open up the car door
00:34:22
insert my head and just slam it right in there because I I can help you with that
00:34:27
you I will never understand for the life of me when people when smart people I don't know if adja is smart maybe she's
00:34:33
not but I've W seem to be in my lifetime where you have someone for whatever reason and it's got to be complete
00:34:42
Bizarro reasons will believe something that a complete stranger tells them rather than someone that they've known
00:34:49
for years maybe decades somebody that they know has had their back on multiple occasions let's believe total
00:34:57
total stranger person but not believe the person that has helped me out countless times a person that I know
00:35:04
that hey I might not always like them but uh I know that they got my back and you know where where do you where do you
00:35:12
put the weight in into people's statements and beliefs it just I I mean how could you not believe your aunt
00:35:20
who's telling you look this guy his wife was calling in repeatedly that he was beating her up all the time and now he's
00:35:27
boyfriend I'm just I'm warning you I'm trying to tell you get away from him right and Adia no she I'm in love I'm
00:35:35
going to stay with this guy so the couple move in together and their residence the first residence that they
00:35:41
live in is described as a trailer with garbage bags covering the windows I have nothing about against living in a
00:35:47
trailer I've considered it multiple times in my lifetime and I've seen some pretty nice ones out there too and some
00:35:53
of the Parks look inviting most of the parks not for me I see any kind of dwelling with garbage bags covering the
00:35:59
windows I've got concerns man sign me up hey I got a great place I can rent to you c yeah the HOA fees are plastic bags
00:36:10
so on September 8th 2013 adasia well she's going to get to unfortunately experience some
00:36:18
of these things firsthand it sounds like because she calls 911 says that she was cooking dinner
00:36:25
when Kevy and came into their trailer and started accusing her of something with a friend that she had on Facebook
00:36:32
they argued for a while and he punched her in the head now this is from the police report so adasa told deputies I
00:36:41
baled up in the corner floor hollering then he hit me he hit my head against the wooden pole constantly non-stop then
00:36:49
he picked me up by the neck choking me with my feet dangling that was her words in the police report that's before the
00:36:59
trees goes missing so Kevan was arrested and charge with battery in that situation now he told officers look she
00:37:06
made it all up she inflicted all these injuries herself just to get me in trouble yes we were arguing but uh this
00:37:12
is the result she she set me up you know what I hope for I I hope for that one he
00:37:19
existed and that somebody else took him away that saw that this was not a positive situation and took him away or
00:37:30
they they sold him to somebody that wanted to have a child and treat a child the way the child should be treated yeah
00:37:38
and that maybe that they've never come forward because one the parents have no proof if it's their child or not but
00:37:47
they didn't ever come forward because they didn't want their to be any of a chance that they could have to give up
00:37:54
their son and go back to these two yahoos well and who knows because these things are really all over the shop
00:38:02
aren't they we've seen cases where it's obvious that the child was abducted that
00:38:07
what Mom and Dad are saying is in fact the truth then we've had some other questionable cases like Dior Coons where
00:38:14
you wonder and there's been a lot of speculation did they sell the boy to somebody that wanted a son for whatever
00:38:21
reasons and then you have a case like Dewan Sims where yeah I feel I feel like we
00:38:28
have a similar situation to dwan Sims case here where something happened to dwan Sims he's a little kid and then mom
00:38:37
goes to the shopping mall and we covered that case I don't know the episode number but she goes to the shopping mall
00:38:43
and says hey uh somebody abducted him from the the mall and they start reviewing the cameras and they're like
00:38:49
yeah we see you we don't ever see you with your son we don't think he was ever in the shopping mall so what it appears
00:38:55
happened in The Sims case is something happened to this boy and then she has to concoct the story and comes up with this
00:39:02
story later to explain a way why he is not anywhere to be found anymore the Dewan Sims episode is episode 160 and
00:39:12
you can find all of our episodes from episode one to episode now they're available everywhere Apple podcast
00:39:20
Stitcher Spotify wherever you listen to podcast so grease up your earballs because there's to listen to what's
00:39:27
different about this case as opposed to the those other cases is I don't even know if this child ever existed well
00:39:36
right and I I see you kind of circling around that so I wanted to make sure that I got to this portion of it and
00:39:42
this is kind of why I brought up this uh police report incident where adasia says
00:39:47
that Kevan beat her up so I guess they make up at at some point after this because he was in fact charged with
00:39:54
battery during that situation or because of that situation but a few weeks later
00:39:59
she gives birth to Kevan son and this would be DET trees's older brother so the oldest of the three small children
00:40:09
so the family moved into the pine knot Roadhouse that we discussed and they lived there for a year maybe a couple
00:40:15
years Lisa her aunt that tried to warn adasia about kevi and says look I kind of use my position as a dispatch officer
00:40:25
to con veniently send officers there once in a while for welfare checks because she was
00:40:32
so worried about what would happen to her niece and possibly that child D trees's older brother Ada's family has
00:40:39
told the media we knew where they lived we were never allowed in the house we at
00:40:45
never any time ever went into their home or their homes as it were well again this is abusive situation we know that
00:40:54
and one of the things that these abusive [ __ ] men like to do is they one they'll separate their victim the the
00:41:03
person that they're abusing from their family and their friends and they'll control those situations so for all we
00:41:09
know he's controlling the situation where he doesn't want any of them ever going into the house right and then this
00:41:16
leads us to a notable incident that followed the birth of detres green okay so the last incident was before his
00:41:23
older brother was born this would have been short after so detres was born on October 28th
00:41:32
2014 on his fifth or sixth day at home ad deia's father Grady Rainey got a call from his daughter something's going on
00:41:42
so he in turn calls the police and what happened then was the Turner County dispatch received a 911 call regarding
00:41:52
adasia and Kevan and it was basically basically her father saying my daughter and her boyfriend are fighting that's
00:42:00
why I'm calling you and asked if you do you know if there are any weapons involved and he says I know he's got a
00:42:07
gun I don't know if there's any weapons involved in this incident but I know that he owns a gun on the call he tells
00:42:13
the dispatcher that his daughter adasia said quote if my baby daddy don't quit beating me I'm going to shoot him the
00:42:23
father ad's father goes on to tell the Ator that there was a one-year-old toddler and a newborn in the home so the
00:42:31
trees green would be the newborn that was in the home now we have police that go to to that residence to their
00:42:38
residence to see what's going on they get no answer but due to the call and due to a gun being referenced multiple
00:42:45
times during the call they call in the SWAT team well it it's like a standoff man a two-hour standoff before Kev and
00:42:54
green comes out of the house he's immediately arrested um adasia who was 19 at the time tells police it was all
00:43:02
just a misunderstanding she stuck to her story so we we do have you know law enforcement on record saying this is one
00:43:10
of the hardest things to do you get a domestic violence victim it's it's difficult to get them to speak out often
00:43:17
and in this situation at least no charges were filed but what we do have here is that we know based off of this
00:43:27
incident that this was confirmed by child services that the trees green existed and he was alive and at that
00:43:40
home and he's about six days old at this time and speaking of adah's family let's
00:43:47
stick with Lisa here and some of her information that she's able to provide to us in regards to D trees's case she
00:43:55
said says that in the Atlanta Journal Constitution these are her exact words I'll just read her exact words so we
00:44:03
don't have to try to decipher what they mean quote she spoke of a toxic atmosphere in her niece's home adasia is
00:44:11
who she talking she's talking about with Kevan accused multiple times of beating
00:44:16
her 10 months later Lisa said she she's heard no plausible explanations about what happened that night d trees is
00:44:25
still missing haunting Lisa and people around Albany who want answers to one of the most discussed and speculated about
00:44:33
child disappear disappearances in the area's recent memory as she waits Lisa tries to make
00:44:40
sense of a conversation she said she had with the trees's parents right after the
00:44:45
tornado when they called her and her words are quote nobody said anything about a kid was missing they said they
00:44:53
were fine end quote according to Lisa ad's aunt she speaks with him right after the
00:45:02
tornado nothing's wrong we're fine obviously Kevan the the father is a horrible individual but you know he has
00:45:10
a pretty long list of offenses yeah so we do have some of that information here Captain if you want to
00:45:19
go through it yeah okay so what I have in my notes is that from 2010 to 2014 record show he was arrested six times in
00:45:28
Turner County at least three times related to domestic disputes his charges included disorderly conduct battery for
00:45:35
Family Violence and a misdemeanor simple battery charge now more than two years after the tornado 2019 Dary County
00:45:45
Police responded to a family violence call involving the parents the police report said that adasia told the
00:45:52
officers she and her then husband Kev and got in a fight she also said he quote locks her in their residence end
00:46:02
quote the report said the officer couldn't find green couldn't find kevi and green that night and there was no
00:46:10
record of him being charged so we've seen this in other cases too they respond to a domestic violence case you
00:46:17
know if there's not a lot of proof of what the complaint is and you can't find the person that the complaint is going
00:46:23
to be filed against or she talks herself out of filing the complaint sometimes there's no charges that that go anywhere
00:46:31
in these situations now there were some developments I guess in this case last year in 2020 the gbi released a press
00:46:40
release asking for the Public's assistance in the missing child investigation here's the full release
00:46:47
police are seeking The public's assistance in a nearly 4-year-old missing child's investigation on January
00:46:54
27th 17 the dowy County Police Department requested the gbi to assist in The Disappearance of 2-year-old
00:47:03
detres green on January 22nd 2017 at approximately 300 p.m. a tornado struck the Piney Woods trailer park in Dy
00:47:13
County where the Green family resided at the time at approximately 8:10 p.m. police received a call about a missing
00:47:21
child later identified as detres and immediately began a search the child's parents reported that a
00:47:28
tornado hit their home and a tree crashed through the trailer law enforcement and search Crews spent days
00:47:35
searching for detres a nearby Pond was drained and search provided no results throughout the course of this
00:47:43
investigation no picture of detres has been provided to police agents and investigators work together on numerous
00:47:49

00:48:17
information call 229 436 tips tips now the Tes green little detres would have turned 6 years old on October
00:48:30
28th 2020 he should be turning seven this month Captain but unfortunately he was born into a bad situation born into
00:48:38
a home with a violent man and parents who just didn't care for him or his well-being or help love him enough to
00:48:46
take pictures of the child in conclusion sadly D trees's extended relatives care
00:48:52
about the little boy they never met more than his own parents did Willie Rainey told
00:48:58
WB that me and my wife will talk and we often wonder still today what happened with our grandbaby Willie does not
00:49:06
believe the story being told by adasia and Kevan about what happened to detres he also has reconciled himself to the
00:49:14
fact that detres is no longer alive while he is relieved that Kevan and ad's other two kids remain in foster care he
00:49:23
said that his experience working in law enforcement taught him and told him that
00:49:28
Kevan Green's arrest record should have led to the child or and all children being taken away from their parents
00:49:37
earlier Willie thinks that adasia may be too scared to come forward with what really happened to
00:49:43
detres and says I just hope my granddaughter finds it in her heart to go tell somebody what happened he said
00:49:50
he would like to see detres properly buried in the family plot the news several outlets tried to contact
00:49:59
adasia and Kevan in 2019 could not locate them so they've they weren't Cooperative to begin with weren't giving
00:50:06
statements to begin with and these years later they seem to continue right nothing to do
00:50:13
with with this situation it's s such a sad sad world because there's so many people that try really hard and have to
00:50:21
take you know certain medications and and different shots and hormones and stuff
00:50:28
just to have a child and then other people can have children so easily and yet they care so little and there are
00:50:37
things right there's all this stuff that we've put into place you know in most situations in Most states and most
00:50:45
cities you can give up your child you C you can drop them off somewhere you can I mean I I know that
00:50:53
sounds horrible to say but we've put these these things into place so that no harm comes to these kids that
00:51:00
are not wanted and not taken care of yeah but what but what's worse though right if somebody said look I I I try to
00:51:07
take care of this kid and I just can't do it I can't afford the kid I I maybe don't even care much about the kid let
00:51:15
me give the kid over to the state I would applaud that person so much more than these giant piles of [ __ ] that you
00:51:23
don't even look for your child and but you're looking for your phone of course your phone means more to
00:51:29
you than your child had they dropped the trees off somewhere or ask family to take him or the state to take him or
00:51:36
whatever he would have had a Fighting Chance right he would have had a shot at a life and under their roof he did not
00:51:45
and this is the result the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says that the reason detres is not listed with the
00:51:52
national Center for missing and exploited children is because they do not have any photograph of him to submit
00:51:59
to the database and you and I captain spoke with Megan Good who maintains and operates the Charlie project website and
00:52:06
database and she told us the same thing that she needs a photo of this missing person to include him in the database
00:52:13
and God bless her and the good work that she's doing and we presented this name to Tres green out of left field you know
00:52:21
pulled a name out of thin air when we were talking with her in person at crimecon and immediately she says I mean
00:52:30
the the knowledge that she has of missing people is just amazing she says immediately she goes is that the toddler
00:52:37
that was missing and there's no photograph of him and the parents claim that a storm took him and I'm like yes
00:52:43
you you nailed it we picked a name at random and you nailed it so bless her in the work that she's doing check out the
00:52:50
Charlie project website now there is no doubt right no doubt something happened to this little boy but it didn't happen
00:52:59
that day during a tornado echoing the statements of search and rescue experts and law enforcement there is just no way
00:53:07
that anyone can believe in my mind that a storm hit and it blew detres off of the face of the map he would have been
00:53:15
located just like the many others were alive or otherwise so for everybody out there if you have
00:53:24
any information at all even a suspicion or a hint at something odd maybe you saw
00:53:30
something maybe you saw this family out somewhere when there were still five members of this family please please
00:53:38
please report it to somebody because as much as authorities need to find the remains of this little boy the victim of
00:53:46
he's the victim of his despicable parents in the meantime what they need to develop is a timeline a timeline of
00:53:54
the trees's life no matter how short it was because right now all we have and all we know is that something sometime
00:54:04
between the ages of six days old and two years and a couple of months old something happened to this little boy
00:54:12
and his parents Kevan and adasia covered it up and when this tornado hit they found the excuse they were looking for
00:54:22
and waiting for and they simply wiped their Hands Clean of dress please someone contact the Georgia Bureau of
00:54:30
Investigation with whatever information you may have that's the gbi's regional office in
