WE’VE GOT HIM AT GUNPOINT. >> THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE VIDEO. WHERE’S THE BABY?
>> I’VE GOT A NICE A LOCAL 4
INVESTIGATION.
>> TAKES YOU BEHIND THE SCENES.
>> WE SAW A TRACE OF THE ARREST
OF THE MAN LINKED TO THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF WINTER SMITH.
>> TONIGHT, YOU’LL HEAR WHAT HE
SAID TO POLICE WHILE HE WAS IN
HANDCUFFS FOR DAYS WE WAITED. WE
HOPED WE PRAYED FOR THE SAFE
RETURN OF WINTER. SMITH FOR THE
TWO YEAR OLD, WAS KIDNAPED IN
LANSING.
>> HER BODY FOUND THREE DAYS
LATER IN AN ALLEY IN DETROIT.
TONIGHT, WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE A
BODY CAM VIDEO OF THE CHASE AND
ARREST. AND THE MAN LINKED TO
WINTER’S DISAPPEARANCE. LET’S
BRING IN LOCAL 4 INVESTIGATOR
KAREN DREW, WHO WATCHED THIS 21
MINUTE CLIP.
>> AND THE SUSPECT DOES SOME
TALKING IN IT.
>> HE DOES. AND THIS STORY IS SO
HEARTBREAKING. AND THE VIDEO SO
HARD TO WATCH. I WAS ON THE EDGE
OF MY SEAT WATCHING IT MINUTE BY
MINUTE. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE
CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE
AUTHORITIES BELIEVE WINTER WAS
AT ONE POINT. THERE’S A TIME
WHERE THEY ACTUALLY OPEN UP THE
TRUNK WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THE
TENSION AND THE NERVES OF THE
OFFICERS OPENING, WONDERING IF
WINTER IS THERE. THERE’S A LOT
TO THE VIDEO. TAKE A NOW.
>> POLICE DID SEARCH THE VEHICLE
. THEY FOUND A PINK CELL PHONE
CHARGING CORD ON THE FLOOR OF
THE CAR. CONSISTENT WITH
PORTIONS OF A PINK CHARGING CORD
FOUND NEAR WINTER’S BODY. NOW,
ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT,
WINTER’S DEATH APPEARS TO BE
STRANGULATION. WE’RE STILL
WAITING FOR A FINAL REPORT FROM
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER’S OFFICE.
BY THE WAY, I SHOULD MENTION WE
DID POST THAT 21 MINUTE VIDEO ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM, AS WELL AS
THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT.
>> WE’VE GOTTEN USED TO WATCHING
A LOT OF POLICE VIDEOS,
ESPECIALLY BODY CAM VIDEO OVER
THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN
WE ALMOST NEVER SEE THIS MUCH SO
INTENSE. SO INTENSE.
>> RIGHT. MY HEART STILL
POUNDING. AND I COULD TELL WHEN
YOU GUYS WERE WATCHING IT, IT’S
VERY HARD TO WATCH. BUT IT WAS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU DO SEE THE
CHASE AND THE ARREST AND YOU SEE
THE WORDS BEING EXCHANGED. AND
MOST OF THE TIME YOU’RE NOT ABLE
TO GET ALL OF THAT VIDEO. AND
THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, AT THIS
TIME THEY’RE LOOKING FOR THIS
TWO YEAR OLD, THEY ARE FEELING
LIKE THERE COULD BE A CHANCE
SHE’S MAYBE IN THE CAR. IS SHE
IN THE TRUNK? IS THERE HOPE? AND
