Recorded Link: The Finding Relisha Radio Show Online Radio | BlogTalkRadio
This is an abridged transcript of the talk show. With all of the yelling and cross talk there is a lot that I did not catch. I have paraphrased most of it . All questions are listed by one caller together and then the answers are in the same order. I have not taken the time to put in quotes and all that good punctuation stuff like it should have.
I also added in [ ] the first name to help keep the entire he, she, me stuff straight. Please do not take this as a complete and true transcript.
General Information:
******** ---- Relisha Rudd Fund account.
This money will be used for searches, to help with search expense such as flyers and things, money left over for Relisha when found; medical problems. I don’t want to leave anything to chance. Know that government funds will probably help with a lot but not going to rely on that just in case. I am not selling T-shirts. They are my [Keith Warren] designs.
Relisha Rudd Task Force:
Looking for people. I’m looking for 4 people to help with Treasurer. Want everything to be official. Have someone working on marches and vigils. Need help and want everyone to help.
Questions in Chat Room answered on air:
Q: I want to know why SY is saying that the school lied to the press about what SY told them about Relisha.
A: School claims everything they told press is by documentation.
Taking Phone Calls
Caller: I want to know why SY says she never met KLT’s wife but KLT was the Godfather. How is that, it just doesn’t fly.
Caller: I want to know why SY hasn’t talked to Relisha the whole time she said she was sick. What mother does that?
Host: MYT to me [KW] she gave SY the discharge papers from the ER because she [MYT] took her to the doctor.
Caller: SY said she gave Relisha to KLT and he always brought her back, but now she says she has never given Relisha to KLY.
Host: A lot of missing pieces to the case. March 5 was the date that the school set up a conference with SY to discuss Relisha’s absences and set up additional support if needed.
Caller: SY is saying people are out to kill me. I would not care. I would be out there looking for my child. SY keeps laying everything on the grandmother and sister. She is not responsible. Why?
Host: My response to last night everyone airing their dirty laundry is not helping to find Relisha. They only place they have been seen is at that one vigil
AW: Why do you all keep talking about this *****. I have other things that I have to take care of things, I have my boys. No one on the street is saying nothing to me. Everyone keeps on bashing me on the internet. The grandmother [MYT] and her daughter [AY] are responsible and they are going to get theirs.
Host: You [AW] are an adult. They are going to talk about you. That’s just the way it is. Everybody has their own opinion. You just have to deal with. The only thing that is important is finding Relisha.
AW: Still complaining. I’m still trying to find out what really happen. I’m just mad. I’m tired.
Caller: Do you have any idea what may happen to Relisha? You said she was at MYT house when she went missing. What do you think happen? The other mothers at the shelter said KLT was giving them money. Was he trying to get his hands on a child? Did KLT say that was kind of off? What was he up too?
AW: I think Relisha got caught in the middle of whatever was going on. Those mothers’s are lying. No, I don’t know. I’m losing weight, not sleeping; (yada, yada) I can’t disclose that kind of information.
Host: I have an adult family member that is missing. And I lost a child in February. This is just … it hurts.
Caller: SY said she took Relisha to ER
BW: No she [SY] did not say that. (Not sure if I have this right)
Host: You said that you walk the streets, and I applaud you for that. How long have been in Relisha’s life? Do you any issues with AY, MYT, or Tiffany or GT?
AW: since she was one year old. I never had no issues with them. I haven’t had issues with Tiffany
or GT.
Host: Are you still in the shelter. They really didn’t follow the rules at the shelter. You said that the kids would go and stay at Grandmothers house. The rules are kids are not supposed to spend the night out, right?
AW: Yes. No not really that good. Yes they would stay with MYT. They give you a weekend pass to go out.
Caller: Why is your mom coaching you? We can hear it.
AW: My mom is not coaching me. I’m not….
Cussing in the background.
Host steps in. AW calms down.
Caller via Host: Why did Tatum not take your boys like he did Relisha?
AW: I don’t know. KLT used to buy the boys ice cream once in awhile. When MYT brought that tablet down to Relisha, I asked her who bought that and she told KLT did. I was like what! (there was something else said that I didn’t catch) I don’t have a father. I was always looking for a father. I never met my father.
BW: [in background] your grandfather was your father….
AW: [cuts off BW] Oh! Come on mom, no he wasn’t.
more arguing.
AW: Why was MYT selling T-shirts? Who does that? I didn’t know it and people where asking me. Shamika had to go to the house and take the shirts. And she was selling them for $5.00.
Host: Where did this money come from? [Referring to MYT or AY facebook page.] I see wads of money on her page.
AW: I don’t know where that came from.
Didn’t catch the whole answer. Went to get coffee and he was saying something about threats.
Host: Was Relisha sold to trafficking? Do you know that or you hope not? Trip to Atlanta.
AW: NO, NO! I hope not. I don’t know…...
SY: [jumps in and answers last question]: I told KLT no he could not take her, but I don’t know if he did actually take her only that my mother he did.
Caller: Did you report these threats. It seemed like in the beginning MYT was the loving grandmother. Now I think she is not telling the truth. MYT said she didn’t sell those shirts she was giving them away, but she was taking orders on her Facebook page.
AW: Yes I did. Yes she was selling them. Oh! it was on Facebook. [like he was not aware of how she was selling them]
Caller: Daniel Rob??? [cut off I think.]
Caller: [It is AY] On March the 2nd that was when Relisha was with me and My grandfather was here and I was talking to me about how he made some money [something about making money or having money on Facebook]
And then the screaming really started between AY, BW, AW, SY, with every other work F*$# this
It was Cuss City, honestly Pa, it was.
AY: I have a witness to that [referring to something] yada yada
I couldn’t catch hardly any of this.
AY: Antonio, stop telling about things you don’t know. I had someone who ha….
Gave up. Too much yelling to understand who is saying what.
Caller: (Missed the first question. Went for more coffee.) When was the last time you saw Relisha? Did you know KLT before….
Rest was too garbled
AY: When we had that snow, when they had the power out at DC and she stayed here with me for about a week. No I …..
Didn’t hear rest. More yelling.
SY: I don’t know if my mother had a relationship with him or not.
AW: I found out he was her Godfather at the shelter. I didn’t have anything to do with and I didn’t agree with but
Caller: Did you talk to Relisha when she came back from staying KLT. Did you ask Relisha if she had been touched in an in-appropriate way?
AW: I always talked to her. She said nothing but good things.
SY and AY going at it: I only know what you told me. I don’t know. I never said that. You told me (yada yada) AW now gets into it.
AW: I got witness and I can’t wait to get to court. It’s not about you. You are nothing to me. You are not related to me.
Host: Trying to get them to listen to each other or shut up.
More of the same.
Host: Host: Hold on Hold on. Listen!! Hold on. Come on! Excuse me I HAVE A CALLER
Caller: Why are you going back and forth? What does this have to do with finding Relisha? A F%&*$ child is missing. It’s not about you. It’s about Relisha. It’s about HER!
Now everyone is cursing, screaming at each other. Oh My!!!! And with echoes this is nuts!!!
Caller: If my child is F*#$&ing missing I would be out of my mind. They are not evening trying. Someone is lying. Everyone is lying. Why would you let a little girl go with a 51 year old man? You never checked on her? She wasn’t even in school and you didn’t know it?. Somebody tell the truth so we can find her. I don’t understand. Hangs up.
Caller: Drinking and partying, and posting on Instagram and Facebook. She is just a baby. She [SY] wasn’t paying any attention. If I was a cop I would throw every one of them Mother F&*#ers in jail and throw the f*&%ing key away. It’s the mother’s responsibility to take care of her child, not her mothers, not her sister. HER!
AW: My daughter never lived with …
can’t understand what he is yelling about. (Back to) the “I’m not eating, I can’t take this anymore” The money on Facebook, it’s gotten nothing to do with it. My daughter was not even missing at that time. The FBI is looking at my page. I don’t know why. They don’t know what I got. The people that are responsible…they will get it. I want my daughter home. No one knows what I’m going through. I’m not a bad person. I’m not. I’m tired of everybody putting this on my shoulders.
Caller: There is just too much arguing going on. Why can’t you figure out who where she was and who had her? If you can’t come together you are never going to find her? WHO HAD HER?
AW: You can’t get a straight answer of SY mother. Her sister is a liar too. I know she was there on the weekend. (Could not understand what he said). We went out that night. The only way we are going to get to this if we all take a lie detector test.
Host: They won’ give you one if you ask for it.
Really? Not sure I’m understanding what KW means.
Note: This may be what KW actually meansThe states in which polygraphs are inadmissible include New York, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. In these states, even if both parties wish to enter polygraph test results into evidence, it is forbidden (except in very rare scenarios).

Caller: SY says last time she saw her was on the 1st and found out on the 19th she was missing. Why didn’t she know for all of that time she was missing? She [SY] says that she never let KLT take her daughter, but she said before that she did when she was first missing. Why is she lying?
AW: No, No, March 8th. My son’s birthday was on March 8th and Relisha was there.
SY: [Jumps in and starts arguing with caller] talking on top of each. I’m not lying. Why don’t you [to caller] come down here and help us look for her. I have the evidence.
More Yelling Why can’t she talk about her daughter Tatiana Antoinette Fortannello (spelling?) Young
Caller: I have information that SY pulled Relisha’s hair and didn’t treat her good Why is SY lying? I watched Shamika give Relisha to Mr. Tatum myself. AW uses her as punching bag. She is going to end up in a pine box and I will go into any court of law and repeat this. . (Not sure if I got this right. ?? Relish was used as a punching bag or Shamika was used as a punching bag)
Host: Your name
Caller: My name is Daniel Robinson.
Host: Reading an article about prior investigations by family services documenting abuse. Let me say something. All of this bickering and arguing. This is about a missing girl. Relisha Rudd. Who has missing since March 1st. The Relish Rudd Task Force, we need to get together. I want to get some people and put together some plans and go look for her. Maybe if we get together and we go and look, and pray, we will find this little girl. This could have been my child. This could have been your child. This could be your grand child, your niece. We all have are reasons for doing this. I want to thank everyone. I am really upset about what is going on with this case. This is like the game called clue. Sigh! I’m a ….
Caller: When Mr. Tatum had a phone call with someone, the one that if something happens to me or I die Relisha will be set for life. What was the response by this person he had this conversation with? Sounded like this was a private conversation, but what does this mean?
Host: I’m going to have my analyst get on this. Hold on. It was the Grandmother and the Grandmother never indicated a response.
Host: We need to find her. This is hurting us all.
