REPORTER: Tell me why you came up with that -- this idea. Where did it come from? To go searching the landfill
OWENS: It's not my idea; its an investigative process that has already been established with the Child Abduction Response Team. The Child Abduction Response Team had not been implemented at the time that I made the suggestion, so I just asked for it to be ... asked the Sheriff if he would place it in effect a little earlier.
REPORTER: What happened on Tuesday? You said you woke up and something went through your mind?
OWENS: Well, I've been in Investigations for a long time so when I woke up and was going to work, I realized they had not found her, so um at that time you have to start thinking at different avenues. Obviously, a small child is not going to wander far from her home. And, uh, there was, you have to -- it's terrible to say -- but you have to think about the worst, and when you think about the worst, then you think about what evidence you can collect to solve the case.
REPORTER: How did you go about finding this landfill? What did you do? Did you follow the trucks?
OWENS: Um, I didn't follow the trucks, but the Sheriff had implemented uh several officers -- Sgt. Matt Williams and Detective Dewes (sp?) and Detective -- um, I apologise ... the other detectives name is (are we live) ...
REPORTER: No.
OWENS: Good.
REPORTER: No, no, no. That's okay. Tell me about how you got there and what you did when you got there. You separated the trucks ... you say you isolated them.
OWENS: Yeah because they didn't want them to dump them into the main landfill. They wanted to separate them so they could search them outside other garbage by different areas.
REPORTER: What did they do then? Did they go piece by piece and they found pieces of her clothing scattered about?
OWENS: Yes. They have to hand search everything and they walk through the debris and the rubble.
REPORTER: Okay.
OWENS: Yes. It's not a pleasant process.
REPORTER: Were you there?
OWENS: No.
REPORTER: You weren't there. Do you use cadaver dogs at all?
OWENS: Yes we do. I don't think anyone had brought any out because at that time we didn't have any reason to think she was deceased or anything. But -- later on, if we wouldn't have started the search process, then that would have a normal process is to bring the cadaver dogs to help with the search.
REPORTER: Okay. I appreciate it, sir.
OWENS: You're very welcome.
REPORTER: Thank you very much.
Not ignoring anyone..
