From the Warren Experience interview from tonight with Andre` Tatum and with Toni Wheeler and Shamika Young and George Turner calling in as well.
OK, This is not a full and accurate transcript. Did this while I listened so there is going to be a ton of errors. Again there is no proper punctuation and I tried to insert [ ] names to help keep things straight.
Caller: First Name (could not here) Wheeler: on behalf of Shamika Young. I was a resident at the shelter. What they are portraying her to be is not how she is. The media is putting out a false story. She is stressing, shes crying. No one cares about her. She is not a bad person. What so they want her to do? To go out and knock on doors or stand on the street.
Caller Nicole: We, the public, do want her to go out and stand on corner looking for her child. People who dont even now this child are out there looking for. Everything they [family] have said has been proved to be lies. Stories are inconsistent. You want people to advocate for you. Why dont you [Shamika] want to advocate for your child. Get your butt out there and do something. You wont say anything negative about Tatum. Look for your child.
Caller Unnamed: Turns out to actually be George Turner: Yes we were out there, just on another corner (Penn & Minnesota Ave)
Caller Unnamed: Mother is not consistent. Why was family not at vigils? Agrees with everything Nicole said. Dont blame the police. Family is not helping.
Caller Unnamed: Bashing Shamika, well of course. Youre not giving us any trught. Go out there and make a statement about your Child.
Host: We are asking Shamika to come on here on. There are big loop holes. Loop holes that need to be closed.
Andre` Tatum [KLTs nephew]
Host: How close were you with your Uncle.
Tatum: I have been to his house and drink, watch movies. Very close. Saw Relisha playing at the shelter. Seen Relisha with my uncle but never seen her at his house.
Host: Who are the two step-daughters?
AT: I dont no nothing about 2 step daughters
Host: I sorry, meant his Grandchild. Does he have grandchildren?
AT: Tatum had a Grandson, of my aunt, his wife, (the one who is dead). I know about AKT son that is the only grandchild that Im aware of .
Caller unnamed: How are you connected to KLT
AT: I am Tatums sisters son.
Host: Is there anything that you want to talk about the news did not cover?
AT: How they found his body. He was dead for 36 hours before they found him. I dont understand how they searched the park the day before, and he wasnt there. I dont know, maybe he came there when no one was there. I Think that his body was placed there. I dont think he committed suicide. That building they found him in was not sound proof at all. None of them buildings would have been. I have been there, years ago and there is no way you could not hear a gunshot.
Caller Unnamed: You just said he [Tatum] didnt have no granddaughter just a grand son
AT: Yes that is correct. I dont know anything about a granddaughter. In less he had some secrete that I would not know. We didnt know anything about him wanting the divorce.
Caller unnamed: But you would know about family right? Why would there be secrete family members? Who is this grandson? How old is he?
AT: Im 23. I have met the grandson, he was 7. I dont know who hes from. May have been from one of his sons, dont know.
Caller unnamed: Has your uncle been buried?
AT: No, he has not been buried. No. We are still waiting. I havent been told anything. No funeral arrangement that I know of.
Caller: Who was at the hotel?
AT: I do not know who those people were, but I want to find out so I can talk to them.
Caller: Do you know who the Metro person was, the one they were looking for?
AT: That was my cousin. They assumed he may have known something because there was a picture of them together on FaceBook at some time. (Could not catch the rest of this)
Caller unnamed: What were KLT and his wife doing at the hotel? Were they living there?
AT: There were not living at the hotel.
Caller unnamed: What was his wife and him like together?
At: They did everything together. Nothing that even looked like there were going through a rough patch.
Caller unnamed: Can you tell me who your uncles children are? How many
At: He has two sons who live in MD, and his Daughter lives in VA, the step daughter and him had a good relationship. (Im not sure if I got this information down correctly)
Caller unnamed: Did he act funny or not normal?
At: No nothing. He was regular acting, his normal self.
Caller unnamed: Have you ever seen him with Relisha?
AT: Seen Relisha at the shelter, once when I applied for a job there. Saw her one time out with my Uncle outside of the shelter.
Caller unnamed: What do you know about this pool party?
At: It was a pool party, was the hotel, but dont know when it started, or the times.
Host: Your uncle has two bio sons and one daughter, is this correct?
AT: Correct.
Caller unamed: Did KLT have a Degree in anything?? Maybe something related to medical, male nurse or something like that? Did he attend a conference in Atlanta?
At: He had something in the Culinary Arts or something of that. Him writing on or speaking about Relishas condition or something, I dont believe that he would do that.
Caller unnamed: [Who is actually George Turner]: your uncle had a 9 year old granddaughter. (note this is a statement and not a question) Who was at that hotel with your uncle?
AT: None [referring to granddaughter question] that I know of. We, my family, have given everything that we knew, told LE everything that we can think of. Places that we have been, people that we think he knew. Everything! Dont know who those people are. But Im sure the police know who there are because they have video.
Caller Antonio Wheeler: I have a few some things to say: It was the grandmother that say Relisha was ill. Grandmother told us that she gave your uncles name as the doctor. That was tax money and disability money and it was before Relisha got gone.
AT: I have no idea why he would write the note as a doctor. I dont believe he would do that.
Gabbled, back and forth with Wheeler being aggressive to Andrea Tatum. Host gets in on it. Wheeler talking over host.
Wheeler: [Shouting]Evidence saying that Relisha was at her grandmohters house before she went missing.
Host: [to Wheeler] You threatening people who have her picture on their Facebook page to take it down. Why? They are trying to help. What have you done to help find her?
AW: I walk the street looking for her. Every night Im out. The Grandmother, the sister, school failed my daughter.
Caller Katy: You uncle was in jail. [gives a list of dates] Can you help me out with the date? When to when? Did he have good intentions to help Relisha, and something went wrong with other people who were bad?
AT: He was in jail to 2006 on probation to 2011. He was a not pedophile. He would not hurt any child. I dont believe he would do that. No record that he was ever involved in child trafficking or anything. Yes, I think that is what has truly happened. [referring to bad people]
Caller unnamed: Do you know Ricky Lyles. Is he a friend?
AT: Ricky is KLT sisters husband. [Note: No mention of the fact that there is another Ricki Lyles, middle initial is C. and I dont know if that is a son of the older RSL or a nephew of his or how he is related, but he is listed in a family obit]
Caller unamed: How did your uncle act towards Relisha?
AT: He spoke of Relisha as his own daughter; he was helping her out of something. Nothing specific, just
vague words like Im just helping her out, she is a troubled kid.
AT: He was helpful person. If you needed it he would help you.
Caller unamed: Why would he kill his wife? Do you believes Relisha still alive?
AT: I dont believe he killed his wife. There is no way. They were a happy loving couple. I dont know what happen. Yes I believe she [Relisha] is still alive
Shamika: I know something about your uncle. Is he from Kenilworth?
AT: Yes he was from Kenilworth
Shamika: When I was taken from my mother when I was six. I was raised by my mother. Yada, yada. I have no idea what she is talking about. I didnt even try to catch all of this rant. Sorry.
AT: Did not say a word to her rant.
Shamika: How long has your uncle been married to Andrea.
AT: he was married before I was born (he is 23) Uncle is 61. I was always around him.
Shamika: Have you seen your Uncle with my daughter
AT: Yes I have walked with them. I have been and I have seen Tatum walk with Relisha (right by the convenience store that is closest to the shelter) a lot of times.
