A TRAGIC DISCOVERY IN THE SEARCH FOR THREE MISSING MEN AS POLICE WORK TO IDENTIFY THREE BODIES
FOUND IN AN ABANDONED BUILDING.
ALSO THIS NOON. SOAK UP ANY SON
YOU SEE OUT THERE BECAUSE IT MAY
LOOK LIKE PANAMA CITY, BUT IT
FEELS LIKE QUEBEC CITY. AND
WE’LL START RIGHT THERE THIS
MORNING. THIS AFTERNOON,
EVERYBODY ALONGSIDE
ASHLEE BARACY. I’M
JASON COLTHORPE GOOD TO HAVE YOU
WITH US. AND ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU
LOOKED OUT THERE, YOU COULD SEE
THE CHUNKS OF ICE IN THE RIVER.
SO MAYBE THAT WAS, BUT THE SUN
IS A LITTLE DECEIVING IT IS YOU
LOOK OUTSIDE, AND IT SEEMS SO
NICE AND REFRESHING AND YOU STEP
OUT. IT’S NOT SO REFRESHING. IT
HITS YOU IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW,
LITERALLY 12 DEGREES IN DETROIT
11 AND HOWL 12 IN PONTIAC,
ADRIAN 13, BUT IT IS PICTURESQUE
. EVEN THOUGH IT’S SO COLD. THE
ICE CHUNKS DO LOOK REALLY COOL
IN THE RIVER, AND THIS IS WHAT
WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE WHOLE
MONTH OF JANUARY. WE DIDN’T SEE
ANY ICE ROLLING THROUGH AND NOW
WE’VE HIT FEBRUARY AND IT’S
FRIGID, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO
STAY THAT WAY FOR LONG. TRACKING
SOME BIG CHANGES BY THE END OF
THE WEEKEND, GOING INTO NEXT
WEEK, HER 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE
CHANGE SHOWS THAT WE ARE
ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 TO 22
DEGREES COLDER RIGHT NOW THAN
THIS TIME YESTERDAY, AND SO OUR
WIND CHILL AS FAR AS WHAT IT
FEELS LIKE OUT THERE AT THIS
LUNCH HOUR, TWO DEGREES BELOW
ZERO AT CITY AIRPORT, FIVE BELOW
AT METRO AND SIX BELOW IN MOUNT
CLEMENS AND AS FAR OFF AS FLINT
SO CLOUDS AND RADAR SHOW A
COUPLE LITTLE STRETCHES HERE OF
SOME CLEARING, BUT THERE IS SOME
CLOUD COVER TO OUR WEST WITH
SOME LAKE EFFECT. SNOW SHOWERS
SOME OF THAT COULD FILTER IN AS
FLURRIES GOING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE WE’RE JUST
LOOKING AT A REALLY COLD DAY 14
DEGREES FOR THE AFTERNOON HIGH.
WE’LL HAVE MORE ON A WARM UP,
THOUGH, JASON AND JUST A FEW
MINUTES, ALRIGHT, ASHLEY SOUNDS
GOOD. WE’LL SEE YOU. THEN POLICE
HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THREE
MISSING RAPPERS FOR CLOSE TO TWO
WEEKS AFTER ONE OF THEIR SHOWS
WAS CANCELED. LAST NIGHT,
AUTHORITIES FOUND THREE BODIES
INSIDE AN ABANDONED APARTMENT
BUILDING. BUT AT THIS HOUR STATE
POLICE SAY THEY CANNOT BE
IDENTIFIED. LET’S BRING IN
SHAWN LEY WHO’S WORKING THIS
STORY FOR US THIS NOON SEAN,
WHAT’S THE LATEST? YOU’RE
HEARING? WELL STATE POLICE
INVESTIGATORS ARE HERE RIGHT NOW
. THIS IS ONE OF THE VANS. THEY
JUST ROLLED UP IN THE LAST 20
MINUTES OR SO IF YOU FOLLOW ME
THIS WAY, WE WANTED TO GET
EYEBALLS ON THIS BUILDING. IT’S
NICHOLAS AND MCNICHOLS AND LOG
CABIN HERE IN HIGHLAND PARK.
MUCH OF THIS PLACE HAS BEEN
ABANDONED AND BOARDED UP. ONE
SOURCE TELLS ME THEY’VE BEEN
AWARE OF THIS BUILDING FOR YEARS
HAVING PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT,
BUT CERTAINLY THE PLACE HAS BEEN
ABANDONED AND COMPLETELY BOARDED
UP. BUT THE WHOLE THING WAS JUST
INSPECTED A WEEK AGO OR SO AN
INVESTIGATOR WENT IN THAT DOOR,
SAYING THAT WHEN THEY MAKE
CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY INSIDE,
BUT THEY WERE LED HERE
YESTERDAY. THIS WHOLE THIS UNIT
IS ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS. IF YOU
LOOK HERE AND IN ONE OF THE
BASEMENTS HERE, THAT’S WHERE THE
THREE BODIES WERE FOUND. NOW,
FAMILY MEMBERS ARE STILL WAITING
TO HEAR IF THEIR LOVED ONES AND
INVESTIGATORS CONTINUE, AS YOU
SAY, TO INVESTIGATE WITH THIS
NOON HOUR, HERE’S THE VERY
LATEST TO CATCH EVERYONE UP ON
THIS CASE. THE MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE OF ARMANI, KELLY,
DANTE WICKER AND MONTOYA GIVENS
IS LIKELY TAKEN A SHOCKING AND
TRAGIC TURN. FAMILY AND FRIENDS
OF THE THREE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
AND PRAYING THAT THE THREE WOULD
BE FOUND THE THREE RS FIRING RAP
ARTISTS AND RELATE ON FACEBOOK
THAT THEY WOULD BE AT LOUNGE 31
IN DETROIT TO PERFORM ON JANUARY
21ST. BUT THE QUESTION IS, WAS
THERE EVER A SHOW SCHEDULED?
THAT SHOW IF THERE WAS ONE WAS
CANCELED LATE THURSDAY. SOURCES
TELL ME POLICE WERE LED TO THIS
VACANT APARTMENT BUILDING ON
MCNICHOLS AT LOG CABIN IN
HIGHLAND PARK. INSIDE THREE
BODIES WERE DISCOVERED. MSP
INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN CALLED
IN TO TAKE OVER THE CASE,
HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO
POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION THAT THE
BODIES ARE THOSE OF THE THREE
MISSING MEN. FAMILY MEMBERS TELL
US THERE HAVE BEEN NO OFFICIAL
IDEA. YET SOURCES SAY IT IS
LIKELY THAT THE BODIES ARE THOSE
OF THE THREE MISSING RAPPERS.
MICHIGAN STATE POLICE PUTTING
THIS UPDATE OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO. AS OF
RIGHT NOW THAT THREE MALE
VICTIMS ARE LOCATED IN THE
BASEMENT CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED
DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AND
THE CONDITIONS OF THE VICTIMS.
IT’S UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED
JUST BY SIGHT ALONE. CURRENTLY
THEY HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED TO
THE WAYNE COUNTY MILK EXAMINER’S
OFFICE WHERE WE’RE WAITING FOR
AUTOPSY RESULTS. THESE AUTOPSY
RESULTS MAY TAKE UP TO 48 HOURS.
BACK YOUR LIFE. LIEUTENANT SHAW
THERE WITH MSP, SAYING AUTOPSY
RESULTS MAY TAKE UP TO TWO DAYS
GIVEN THE STATE OF THE BODIES
EITHER FROZEN, MAYBE BURNED THAT
TYPE OF THING. SO AUTOPSY
RESULTS WON’T BE READY FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS. LOOK GUYS, WE
ALSO MAKE CONTACT TODAY WITH THE
BROTHER OF MONTOYA GIBBONS. AND
HE SAYS VERY PLAINLY. WE DON’T
KNOW ANYTHING WE’RE WAITING TO
HEAR FROM INVESTIGATORS. WE
HAVEN’T HEARD A THING. WE ARE
NOT BEING TOLD TO GO DOWN TO THE
MORGUE TO MAKE ANY TYPE OF
IDENTIFICATION. SO MANY MORE
QUESTIONS HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE,
INVESTIGATORS ARE HERE. ALSO

QUESTIONS WERE GOING HEAD DOWN

HOUR FROM NOW, AND WE’RE TRYING
TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS
AND WE’LL BRING IT TO YOU, JASON
