Good afternoon again. First of all,
I just want to say that this.
This press conference right here
would be very brief just to a little
bit of additional to the information
that we sent out earlier today.
With me up here is our major Ronnie Williams,
the Sheriff's Office chief
Kenneth Kinsey and the Mr Pauley.
Jumper of the brother of the the
deceased in this, in this case, we,
you know we've spoke with him earlier and
giving him our condolences throughout this,
this incident and one of Gee,
we just want to make sure we keep the
family informed of what's going on.
Well what I want to say today is
this afternoon is simply this.
This is a very sensitive,
very sensitive case and I won't,
can't do anything to jeopardize
the integrity of the case.
Number one,
what I would say is that at this point
this investigation started from day one,
it started and we just didn't sit
around and not doing anything.
You know, we've been criticized by.
Social media and different people,
but I don't take that person
or it's just business for me.
But my thing is this from day one before
even before we left the incident location,
we have other partners involved
with this investigation.
Sled was involved,
FBI was involved,
we had US Marshals Task force involved.
Also agencies from North
Carolina have with this,
with this investigation and up
until this point we have also
have more agencies at this point
involved with this investigation.
The reason why we put out information
earlier today on the vehicle.
And the the person that's supposed
to be operating this vehicle is
because that we found out Monday,
we verified that he was actually
in possession of this vehicle.
So we were able to get a warrant for
this person for theft of the vehicle.
We also know that his daughter which
is the five year old that's missing
was also with him at this time so.
That's why we actually looking
for the vehicle.
For him for with this warrant and we
also want to get this child back safely
again that's this is the daughter of the,
the person that we are looking
for for the vehicle and may have
some information about this,
the homicide.
So we want to also talk with him about that.
There's been a lot of talk about
information that not getting out
we we want to be transparent,
but we also again I would also
say again that we want to make
sure that we don't jeopardize
anything in this investigation and
and getting this child back.
And and safely.
Not sure if there's anything else that.
Overlook. Ohh yeah definitely.
I want to address the Amber Alert,
the Amber Alert.
We tried to to get the Amber Alert
from the 2nd that we know that
this child was not at the house.
You know it did not meet the criterias then
and it still doesn't meet the criteria.
So that's we.
We definitely wanted to put out an Amber
Alert but it it didn't meet the criteria.
So that's where we have where we at now.
It didn't stop us from
getting the information out.
We got the information out.
The only thing that was missing.
Is that I guess the the billboards
or whatever on the highway.
So but we still work with SLED
and the FBI we got the information
out at the at that time.
I'll try to take one or two questions but
here again this is a sensitive investigation.
We've been on it. We my main thing is
to get this girl back home and also
again to keep the family informed,
you know, I can only imagine what
they're going through at this time.
So again I, you know, to the media,
I want to say thank y'all because
we cannot do it without you.
We we cannot do it.
We want you to to to reach out and.
You know, put this out.
To everybody that you can so.
And I think we have a description
of the vehicle.
We gave you that and we also
have A tag number that will
give you the tag number also.
So I like I said again I'll try to
answer one or two questions and.
Right now, as of right now.
Mr Gill, right now we're looking for him
in connection with stealing the vehicle,
having possession of the stolen vehicle.
Effects in this case, I know we don't
want to say Peter is a suspect,
but are there any other people of interest?
Well, this is fresh early on
investigation at this point.
Right now we work again,
want to talk to Mr Jeter about this
investigation and the investigation
is kind of running different places,
but right now we have nobody that
we're naming as a main suspect.
Do we have a suspect in
Crystal jumpers death?
That's what I'm talking about.
We don't have no. We we want
to talk to Mr Jeter about that.
And then you also mentioned that.
The criteria for an Amber Alert,
right? What was the criteria?
Well, first of all,
it is he is the custodial parent.
Of the of the five year old
and and at that point as far
as him we didn't know that he,
we had no idea that he was the
one that a positive could say
that he was the one that had
the child and that the child,
if he had the child and the child
was in danger because he was the one
that was responsible for the child.
And him not being a trust back
in this this case.
So there's,
there's and like I said you know we
don't make up the criterias or the
rules and regulations that we go along.
We kind of just have to go along
with what what's out there.
And and like I said that's the first
thing that we wanted to try to do
was put out another alert because
you know at that time anything
and everything would have helped.
Yes, we are.
I. Flew back to the the Corner's office to
we just have the got the autopsy results
back on yesterday and we just you know.
Put out that you know was single
gunshot wound to the upper body.
But as far as their identity,
I would let the Coroners
office speak to speak to that.
But yes, we are. Searching in.
Our main concentrated areas for the last
few days was North Carolina. Right.
And we have our reasons for that,
but don't say at this time.
No, it didn't. So well at this
point I'm not sure the autopsies,
we wouldn't give us exactly how long,
but from our investigation I think
there's been, it's been a few.
Few weeks. Yeah.
So if I'm correct, you said that
aspirin was custody of the father.
Is that correct? Was she visiting
her mother at the time? From my
understanding they were both at that
point, at that time living there,
both of them was was staying there,
aspirin and the father.
I'm not sure what it was doing today,
but I know that we hadn't released
the home yet, so we still have some
other things going on around there.
So but we hadn't released the home yet.
It's still been under our care custody.
I'm not sure if legal custody,
but he was the primary.
Person that was in custody
of the Fabio, yeah.
