I'm not a 100% sure but I think the family press conference might be covered live at Fox 10's YouTube [video=youtube;jKFIQCo9xcI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKFIQCo9xcI"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKFIQCo9xcI[/video]

I tried to make it a link it converts to a video, sorry...

Confirmed the press conference will be on the link I mentioned earlier and quoted above. They're talking about other stuff right now but in about 20 minutes the conference will happen.

I too wish we could see phone records for all occupants of the house, I wonder if anyone in the house was pinging their phones Sunday night and through Monday. Were any other occupants phones turned off, so much could be told from phone records. I wish we were privy to this info, that would help narrow down a time line of when phone actually went OFF.

LE is gathering all of that information. Rest assured no stone will be left unturned on this one. It has too much national attention.

Can someone transcribe? Thanks so much! What is sad is that hundreds of volunteers are out in the heat looking yet per the PI some of those closest to the family are not forthcoming with what they know. Jmo

Remember too that Mikes Sister is leading the charge on the search. I don't think LE tell her much but I do think they would slow down the search if they thought it unnecessary.

I dont think they are newly blended. I can see family photos dating back a few years

They have been married one year...rumor has it.

Maybe I'm just really uncomfortable with voicing speculation on a minor, but I just don't get why knowing the vin or having it ready is a tipping point for suspicion. While I agree it's not something I'd expect a 17 year old to know or have at hand, he had it either way and I don't see it as a flag. JMO

He is the target because he is all we have to work with. Unfortunate for that young man. I too am just really surprised they released that 911 call since he is a minor. Minors don't seem to have many rights these days.

With his step mom being an accountant, maybe she was meticulous with her filing system.
We have our copies in a file. 1, 2, 3 easy to find.
IMOO.

Seems somebody upthread said she works in a construction office but not an accountant. Which brings me to my next point. Surely if she didn't show up at work somebody would become worried and call her home or her husband looking for her. That would be an early morning drive and for nobody to do anything for 14 hours is mind boggling. Surely with work, friends, family somebody noticed she was gone????

Narrative - will keep editing with updates:


Nothing prepared, taking questions:
1) how is family after "foul play" suggestion? A. We knew this since day 1, now case is being elevated we might get more answers. Famliy rollercoaster of emotions. Hope disappointment. Keeping busy to do what they can to help sheriff.
2) Now it's a criminal investigation does that diminish hopes of finding alive? A. We knew there was foul play from the get-go, no reason they wouldn't contact us. Not the kind of people to disappear.
3) Family frustrated with police effort? Yes, they wont give us much information, share more with us, but realise it's the nature of the situation
4) Hope they found something in the car. House hasn't been thoroughly searched although officers have been in their room.
5) Nothing makes sense, wasn't happy to say what he thinks, they all come up with scenarios in the evenings
6) Proximity of house to drug route - is that part of your thinking? Yes, it's a possibility, not fun to think about, lot of traffic through valley, lot of bad people around here. Nothing T&M would do to bring them into contact with these people.
7) 2 sides of family - is that a problem in the house? No in constant contact with Tina's siblings.
8) Been advised not to increase reward significantly in case situation is a kidnapping or ransom - would delay their return. By "some private investigators". No reason to believe it is or isn't a kidnapping.
9) Tina did some work for Tom across the street, she was running an errand for him that morning (Monday) to Mesa
10) Tina's purse is in the room. The item she was supposed to deliver for Tom in Mesa was still in her purse (!!!) We don't think she left the house.
11) Mike on long-term disability, airline pilot
12) Sunday night activity: All gathered for Father's Day, nothing suspicious, people present were well-known to the family
13) Tina came into inheritance, not that much, were going to use it on downpayment on mobile home on lot next door
14) 2 families live on the lot, referred to it as a "compound", plus grandmother
15) Who was last to see T&M Sunday night? A: One of the family, probably in the kitchen, he'd gone to bed at 22:30, doesn't know who saw them last
16) PI hired by Tina's brother - he's made some "disparaging suppositions about might what might have happened" and we don't like the light he is trying to cast
17) Search will continue, have covered vast amounts of desert, still have things to checkout & re-check
18) Not going into the valley as it's a "dangerous area" - border patrol & county sheriff searching there
19) Maybe they were in "the wrong place at the wrong time"
20) Have been approached by PI's but have not hired any
21) Lived in same house with them for 2 years, don't think drugs have anything to do with it
22) Sheriff press conference at 7am tomorrow
23) Bottom line - lets get answers, get them home
24) Misper to Criminal Investigation shift - not a surprise but an excitement - hope it expidites the case
25) No-one living in the area that makes him fearful from saying anything beneficial to the investigation
26) On Father's Day - friend José from Venezuela was interested in Mike's skills as a pilot
27) Is everyone being truthful & co-operative? A: everyone in this house is, don't know who else they have interviewed

I may have missed a question at the end - apologies if so - but I think I got most of the interview

 

[Treelights]

The item she was supposed to deliver for Tom in Mesa is still in her purse.

 

[Treelights]

Her purse was at home in her room

 

[Spiritecho]

She works for Tom, across the street, she was supposed to deliver something for Tom early that morning, and that item is still in her purse that was in their room...
