4 NEWS AT NOON STARTS NOW. LINE FORCE MINT SEARCHING A LANDFILL IN LENOX TOWNSHIP IN THE HOPES
OF FINDING THE REMAINS OF
MISSING 17 YEAR OLD ZION FOSTER
THAT TOPS OUR NEWS THIS NOON.
POLICE SAY THAT 70 PEOPLE EACH
DAY ARE GOING TO BE SEARCHING A
100 BY 100 FT AREA AT AINTREE
ACRES LANDFILL. IT IS A MASSIVE
SPACE. FOSTER WENT MISSING BACK
IN JANUARY. HER COUSIN WAS THE
LAST PERSON TO SEE HER ALIVE. HE
WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON AFTER
ADMITTING THAT HE THREW HIS
COUSIN’S BODY IN A DUMPSTER.
SHAWN LEY JOINS US NOW LIVE.
IT’S SUCH A TROUBLING STORY, AND
SEAN THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A
DIFFICULT TASK FOR THESE
OFFICERS. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I
WANT TO SHOW EVERYBODY JUST HOW
DIFFICULT AND GET YOU THE LAY OF
THE LAND HERE AT THIS NOON HOUR.
YOU’VE GOT DETROIT POLICE TRANS
ADVANCE HERE ALL THE WAY UP IN
LENOX TOWNSHIP. THOSE ARE FOR
FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN
RIGHT INTO HERE. PINE TREE ACRES
LANDFILL. LET ME GIVE YOU A LOOK
AT THE TOP OF THE LANDFILL THERE
JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT THIS PLACE
IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. HOWEVER
SEARCHERS WILL NOT BE IN THAT
AREA WILL BE IN ANOTHER AREA OF
THE LANDFILL. DPD TELLS US THERE
ON THE SCENE. THEY’VE GOT A
WARRANT TO START SEARCHING THIS
AREA OF PINE TREE ACRES,
LANDFILLS ON 29 MILE IN LENOX
TOWNSHIP. LET’S GIVE YOU A LOOK
AT THAT AREA FROM DRONE FOUR.
RHONDA AS YOU MENTIONED, HERE’S
WHY THEY’RE HERE. ZION’S COUSIN
, JALEN BRAZIER. HE TOLD POLICE
THAT ZION SOME HELP SUDDENLY
DIED WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER.
BACK IN JANUARY, AND INSTEAD OF
CALLING 911 HE DUMPED ZION’S
BODY IN A DUMPSTER. POLICE
BELIEVE THAT CONTAINER WHAT WAS
IN THAT CONTAINER MADE ITS WAY
HERE TO THIS PARTICULAR LANDFILL
AND A PARTICULAR AREA OF THE
LANDFILL. THEY’VE GOT THAT
MAPPED OUT. FRASER EVEN WENT ON
SEARCHES FOR ZION WITH ZION’S
MOTHER BEFORE HE WAS ARRESTED
AND CONVICTED FOR LYING TO
POLICE. BUT OBVIOUSLY THOSE
CHARGES COULD DRAMATICALLY
CHANGE. ZION’S REMAINS ARE FOUND
. HERE’S WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN
TODAY. THIS AFTERNOON CRUISE
GOING TO REMOVE 20 FT OF
MATERIAL ABOVE THE FOCUS AREA,
GIVEN SOME SAFETY, SOME ROOM TO
WORK. THEY WILL BUILD A ROAD UP
TO THE SAFETY TO THE SEARCH AREA
SO SEARCHERS CAN SAFELY GET TO
THAT AREA, THEN BUILD A DECK SO
SEARCHERS CAN SIFT THROUGH THE
MATERIALS TOGETHER. WE WATCHED
DETROIT POLICE DETROIT PUBLIC
SERVICE WORKERS. EVEN THERE’S A
BACKHOE AND A BULLDOZER RIGHT
THERE FROM THE CITY OF DETROIT
THAT WILL MAKE ITS WAY UP THERE
TO START BUILDING THAT ROAD.
THEY’VE BEEN HUDDLING HERE
GETTING THEIR GAME PLAN TOGETHER
TO SAFELY DO THIS BECAUSE
LANDFILL SEARCHES ARE EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
RHONDA BACK TO YOU, HOWEVER, TO
POINT OUT SEARCHING MAY NOT
EXACTLY START THIS AFTERNOON AS
THEY GET THIS PROCESS OF MAKING
THE AREA SAFE FOR THE WORKERS
HAPPENING TODAY. BACK TO YOU.
ALL RIGHT, SEAN. THANK YOU.
RIGHT NOW. A SUSPECT IS IN
POLICE CUSTODY IN CONNECTION TO
THE HIT AND RUN OF THE TWO TEEN
GIRLS AND BELLE ISLE OVER THE
WEEKEND. POLICE SAY THAT THE
SUSPECT IS A 23 YEAR OLD MAN
FROM EPSILON E. THE TWO VICTIMS
IN THIS CRASH ARE STILL IN
CRITICAL CONDITION. THE
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AND WILL
BE TURNED OVER TO THE PROSECUTOR
FOR REVIEW. IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK
SINCE A GUNMAN TOOK THE LIVES OF
21 PEOPLE INSIDE OF YOU. BALDY,
TEXAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. MANY
ARE NOW SET TO PACK THE FIRST
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THE VICTIMS
. MEANTIME A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF
SENATORS ARE MEETING TODAY TO
DISCUSS GUN REFORM IN OUR
COUNTRY. THIS COMES AS CALLS FOR
COMMON SENSE GUN REFORM GROW
LOUDER. EARLIER TODAY, THE SAN
ANTONIO CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP
SPOKE ABOUT PROTECTING ALL LIVES
TO BE PRO LIFE THAT WE WILL CALL
IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH RESPECT
LIFE. HAS TO BE. CONSISTENT
WHICH MEANS FROM THE WOMB
CONCEPTION. TWO. NATURAL DEATH
AND ALL IN BETWEEN. AND THAT
MEANS CHILDREN, DO YOU THE SICK
, THE DRUG ADDICTS THE THEY
MARRIED PEOPLE, THE, UH,
HOMELESS. THE PEOPLE IN THAT
ROLE. WE HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT.
AND FOR THE MOST PART,
POLITICIANS ARE NOT CONSISTENT.
AND THEY USED PRO LIFE. TO
PROMOTE THEIR BASE. ANY SIR.
VERY NARROW PICTURE TO TAKE CARE
OF THE BABY IN THE WOMB. AND TO
KILL IT WHEN HE’S NINE YEARS
OLD. HAD A YOUNG WHAT? WHAT IS
THE LOGIC THERE? AND GETTING
BACK TO THE SCHOOL SHOOTING IN
TEXAS. WE WANT TO GET TO NBC’S
MORGEN, CHESKY WITH THIS REPORT
FROM YOU, BALDY. ONCE WE DO GET
SOME INFORMATION THAT WE CAN
RELEASE THE SCHOOL POLICE CHIEF
PETE ARREDONDO WOULD HAVE BEEN
JUST HOURS AWAY FROM BEING SWORN
IN AS A NEW CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
. BUT CITY OFFICIALS NOW SAY
THAT MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELED.
THE MAIN INVESTIGATORS SAY MADE
THE CALL TO WAIT BEFORE ENGAGING
THE GUNMAN STAYING SILENT. NBC
NEWS REACHED OUT FOR COMMENT,
BUT NO RESPONSE. THE CITY’S
MAYOR, MAINTAINING OUR REDONDO
IS FIT FOR OFFICE. HE WAS
ELECTED AND THERE’S NOTHING I
CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT, AND
THAT’S SOMETHING PETE AND I’M
SURE THE PEOPLE IN HIS DISTRICT
WILL COME TO TERMS WITH THE
HIGHLY CRITICIZED POLICE
RESPONSE, THE FOCUS OF A NEW
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REVIEW, A
SENIOR OFFICIAL TELLING NBC NEWS
. THE DOJ IS EXPECTED TO NAME
THE PERSON WHO WILL LEAD THAT
PROBE WITHIN DAYS. MEANWHILE
PRESIDENT BIDEN TAKING AIM AT
ASSAULT WEAPONS THAT THAT MAKES
NO SENSE TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE
SOMETHING THAT CAN FIRE 300
ROUNDS DURING THE PRESIDENT’S
VISIT TO TEXAS SUNDAY. STATE

ELEMENTARY AND THE POSSIBILITY
OF TEARING IT DOWN AND
REBUILDING A BRAND NEW SCHOOL.
