You say you believe the local police know what happened
to Jessie, but just are not telling you.
I do believe that.
They've been given a lot of evidence,
and that evidence, I'm told, is not even available anymore,
and I don't know where it went
or why it went somewhere else, but it's not there,
and so it's this constant asking of questions
and trying to look for the information
that you know they have because you provided it to them.
Right, and you say one of the things
that you think they have that you've not seen,
but that you believe they have
is an actual video of her being killed.
That is correct, I've been told many many times
about a video.
They told me they received a video,
but they only showed me about a four second part of it,
and told me the rest wouldn't play.
But the next time I went to go visit them,
they said they had been to the location
where the video is shot.
So they told me you couldn't see anything at all,
but then coming back and saying it again,
it was like, okay, well, how did you see that location,
how did you go there?
So there's way more to that video than what
they told me originally.
She agrees that they may not have been
perfect in this situation,
but you actually believe it's beyond mistakes made.
You think they're actually corrupt.
I do believe that, I believe that with everything in me.
The police I've worked with,
the ones that I've been out on the streets
and see in action.
What would be their motive?
Corruption usually involves money, some type of cover-up,
some motive to do it.
What would be their motive?
What would they have to gain by covering this up
versus solving it?
There's a lot of things that they could possibly
be looking at, and I think some of them
are probably involved with the people that killed Jessie.
I think that some of them are covering for people
that have a lot of power and a lot of money in the valley.
We have things all the time happen.
We just had a drug bust last year,
$30,000 went missing and half the drugs went missing.
That happens, we don't know why.
So you think that it may be that they're involved
with some of the higher ups in the criminal combine
that could be involved in her death.
That is my belief, yes it is.
And we spoke to a captain in the
Wenatchee police department who said the following, quote,
we absolutely are not in possession of a video tape
of Jessie's alleged murder.
They said straight up we don't have a videotape
of her murder.
And we've talked to them and they said
they've never had it, don't have it now,
and they gave us a statement and I'll share it with you
so then you can respond to it.
And I'm not saying you agree with any of this,
I'm just telling you what they say.
This letter is to provide a status of the investigation
into the missing person case intentionally reported
to the Wenatchee Police Department on June 29, 2016.
While this case gets older every day,
it is still an open case.
Jessie's disappearance is assigned to our
Crimes Against Person Detective who is
routinely reviewing the case file.
Additionally, this detective is still investigating tips
and leads that come in to the Wenatchee Police Department.
Missing person cases can be very challenging,
and this case is one of the longest running
in recent department history.
Like all missing person cases,
we have followed protocols that are internal
to our department, and also external requirements
levied by the Washington State Patrol
and other state agencies.
Jessie is entered into federal, state,
and local databases as a missing person.
We have worked closely with Jessie's family
throughout this case,
and still periodically meet with her mother
regarding the status of the case,
and the investigation.
We are still seeking information
about Jessie's disappearance.
We would love to get new leads from people
who may have information, but have not yet talked to us.
Somebody out there has pieces of information
that may lead us to solving this case.
What's your response to their statement?
One is, I don't even know where to start with that.
They haven't talked to me in over a year, until recently.
I met with them last week when I talked to your producers.
Miraculously they showed up two hours later at my door,
wanting a meeting, and I hadn't even told them
anything at all.
The other thing is is that they are the ones
that have information.
They do know who is responsible for this,
at least partially so.
One of the men is in prison right now,
and they allow him to work for them.
And that is where the issue comes in because
they don't wanna give up their confidential informants.
And there is evidence in this case
that hasn't been followed.
