Det. R.J. Austin of the Will County Sheriff's Office who has been the lead detective on Sema'j's case since she went missing, met with the Justice for Sema'j Action Team on Thursday at St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Joliet. A member of the team, Dietra Jones, posted an 18-minute long video of Austin answering questions from about 20 people on Facebook.
There was four women at that house the day Sema'j went missing, Austin said in the video. One, if not more, of those four grown women know exactly what happened to Sema'j and know how she got under that couch.
The women Austin mentioned were Sheri Gordon, Sema'j's mother, Lakerisha Crosby, Sema'j's aunt, Darlene Crosby, Sema'j's grandmother, and Tamika Robinson, Darlene's friend. Austin said some media reports of all four women cooperating with police are false. All four women have attorneys who police have to go through.

Also in the article, according to Detective Austin:
_Some polygraphs were administered and some people failed.
_Tests showed that a baby Sema'j's age would not have the strength to lift up a couch like the one she was found under.
_No cause of death determined yet by the coroner's office.
_Complete toxicology reports are still not back yet. Det. Austin doesn't know why.
_Insect bites were found on Semaj's face and insects were taken out of her ears and nose. Other than that, there were no external injuries on her body.
