- @14:55 - Q - Do you have any other suggestions for us Stacey? - A- I mean like I said, that was where he was buried. That's the last place I had known, but I haven't been home for quite a while. The only other place I would say, if he's not in the backyard, is to go to (Keoterns-uninteliigible) or Brandon's house and check in the backyard by the tree area.
- @15:40 - Q - How far down is Michael? A - I don't know how far down she (Sarah) dug actually.
- @20:09 - Chris McDonough is at the Wondra's house and calls back to talk to SW. Stacey asks, where's Sarah? The officer tell him she's in custody. Wondra replies you arrested her? Officer says yes it appears they arrested her. Wondra asks where they took her. The question is never answered and the conversation moves on.
- @21:37 Chris McDonough along with two others are now inside the Wondra home. Stacey is being asked to go through the home with them via a Facetime call. Stacey is asked whether he wants to see anything in particular. He asks what beds are in the house. They take him through the various bedrooms, Wondra says there should be a California King mattress in the master, but it's been removed and replaced. They ask which bedroom is Adrian's, they answer. They move along to the garage and are now asking about the location of the duct tape. Wondra says it was on a tall bookshelf in the garage, when they can't locate the shelf or the tape. He tells them Sarah must have gotten rid of it.
- @26:20 Wondra is asked where the tricycle was at. He tells them it was sitting on the boxes (in the garage). Next Wondra asks how long Sarah has been in custody. Chris says he's not sure. Wondra asks if that's why she hasn't been answering his calls the past couple of nights. Chris deflects and moves back to questions on the excavation in the back yard. He states there have been three alerts from cadaver dogs, LE is trying to narrow down the scent. Wondra says he directed them to the last place he knew Michael's body was buried. He wasn't out there when Sarah was burying him, just noted the general location. He states Sarah obviously hasn't been honest with you guys, I'm trying to give you what I can. He goes on to mention their dog Oakley, a hound dog. Talks about Oakley digging in that one particular spot in the yard. Next he says the cadaver dog hits confirm what he is telling them is the truth.
- @33:02 female officer tells Wondra, Sarah has stated the same info on the location Michael was buried, but says Wondra was the one who did it. Wondra says "Oh my God, no. I can't even mow the yard, can you see me digging a hole that big? I can barely walk". Officer responds, they believe him over Sarah. Next Wondra says if Michael isn't there, Sarah may have done something else with Michael's body when he wasn't home to try and mislead him.
- @35:25, they tell Wondra, when the search warrant was served, Sarah didn't ask questions. She immediately told LE, "Stacey murdered Michael and buried him". Wondra says, "that is definitely not what I did, aI didn't do any of that, you're going to find out as soon as you locate him. I wanted no part in that, none". The female detective asks whether the duct tape will still be over Michael's mouth. Wondra replies, "it should be, I didn't watch them tape him off.
- @36:10, Chris asks how long it took to dig and bury Michael. Wondra replies, "I don't know maybe a half-hour to an hour. Adrian was helping her, Brandon wasn't around that.
- @47:54, Chris is looking and toys and says, "you mentioned Michael had a toy that night, any of these his"? Wondra never specifically states what toy it was and the conversation moves on.
- @52:12, Chris asks, When you guys came back, why did you come back here? Wondra says, what do you mean, came back there? Chris says, yeah, like the next day, you assured us that Brandon put him in the guest room bound up, but the next day they moved him back here, why? Wondra replies, that's a great question. I couldn't tell you. Chris then asks, what vehicle did they use? Wondra says, she left me with the Lexus that day, so it would have been her (Sarahs) vehicle. Conversation turns back to the excavation.
- @55:15, Chris says, Sarah told them Wondra buried Michael in Carson's backyard. Wonda again states the reasons he isn't capable of any physical activity.
- The rest of the video is just more discussion about Michael's body, why they aren't finding him and how Wondra couldn't have killed and buried Michael. Wondra's parting comment is that Sarah probably dug him up and re-buried him at another location.
Notes
The video is dated 11/12/22, so this exchange of information is over two years old. In May 2022, Wondra was arrested by the Feds for a firearms violation. He was disallowed from having firearms due to a previous conviction “on or about April 4, 2019” in Montana. He sat in Federal Custody on those charges until Novermber 2024.
It's been two months since Stacey Wondra was released from federal custody, convicted of a gun crime unrelated to the disappearance of little Michael.

Not sure why or how he came to be connected to the FPD investigation in this case. But Chris McDonough (formerly of Profiling Evil), now associated with the Cold Case Foundation. Is playing a role in the released video. He and another female, who I assume is with FPD, are talking to Wondra on the phone.
@17:36 Stacey is asking if one of the officers in the room with him, if they can ask an LT or SGT to let him contact his Mom. It's the only thing he "really wants". Noting this exchange because it appears Wondra may have ulterior motives for giving information to LE. However, because there seems to be independant proof of human remains (cadaver dog hit) in the backyard of the Wondra home, IMO there is absolutely truth to what he states, but not the role he played in Michael's death.
The then-five-year-old went missing from his Fruitland home in July 2021.
