Interview with Kaylee's dad.
26th November.
Reporter - Sir, thank you so much for joining me. Tonight, we continue to grieve with you and your family, and we're hoping to get answers for you.
Sir, when was the last time you talked with law enforcement about the case?.
Dad - Well, we just had a vacation. Law enforcement told me that they were gonna drop off a little bit and not to expect the same type of communication that I had gotten before. They pass it onto another person. So basically, long story short, it was Wednesday, 5:00 pm. was the last time they reached out to me. So, yeah, that's rough.
Reporter - What are they telling you?
Dad - They're kinda just telling me that they can't tell me much. Which is frustrating to me because I've been very trustworthy. I do know things. I haven't shared things. We're the same family that found the original timeline. We're the same family that broke into the phones. We tried everything in our ability to try to get into this system because a court order is not the fastest thing. So, we broke in and we did what we did. We know that we have some family passwords that we all share. So, we broke in and we helped them. So it's hard for me to give up, as a father, my protective ability, to other men.
Reporter - They have shared with us that it was a targeted attack. Can you give us any information about that?. Have they told you who the target was, or given you more insight than they have the public?.
Dad - I don't wanna talk bad about them because these are some hard working individuals and I'm doomed without them. We're all doomed without them. This police is just a terrible idea. The fact that we're finding out that there's more than just my daughter and these children that have suffered. It's terrible to think that we can these guys. It's an absolute atrocity. That's not something that is.. it's not political, this is just facts guys. We can't allow these people to just run free. So, beyond that, they haven't shared a lot. We have some private detectives that have reached out to us and given us information. We take that with a grain of salt and we try to be careful. Just today, I reached out to the officers and said 'hey, this guy's treated me with respect on the show, I'd like to share some things with him, that I found out on my own' and they asked me to not do that. So, we're holding our tongue, we're waiting patiently, but we're definitely concerned.
Reporter - So, sir, I had the opportunity to speak with those same law enforcement officials today and was able to get some information out from them as well. We want to do everything that we can do to get you answers and to solicit more information for the timeline. But there's gaps in that timeline. Is there anything that you can share with us that may put people in that direction, where they would feel willing to share about that timeline?.
Dad - I've heard a little bit of feedback on this, that people are nervous about the timeline. I'm gonna tell you guys that there's so much attention on this, if you can share your information, if you can post it.. I mean, it's the Internet, you can do these things anonymously, go forward. For those people who are afraid, like maybe, 'I was intoxicated and I'm underage'. That's not what they care about guys, they're not looking at that. That is not going to happen. So, give out that picture, that image, that video, that selfie, whatever it is, give it out and know that there is zero chance that they're coming to you for, you know, ruining your career or.. anything along those lines. They're just looking for data right now and you could be the key. You might be something that has been overlooked. So, I guess, I implore people to come forward, especially when you know you're even close to that timeline, because technology is the only thing that doesn't lie, really. It's just data and then we can analyse it as a society and determine what it is. But it doesn't lie, it's just simply data. So, it's better than an eyewitness, it's better than anything that we can produce. It's right up there with DNA. I just implore you.. sometimes, even if you think that selfie has nothing in the background, maybe there's a car that should be there. That somebody said in their alibi, I parked right here next to this tree. And then there's that tree, and your car's not there.
Reporter - Steve, we're gonna put that number on the screen for people to call, give any information. Sir, thank you so much for coming on the programme. Keep us posted on what's going on in this investigation. We'll continue to follow. Thanks again.
