still hurting and waved him off. i was like, never mind, i m not going to eat it anyway. reporter: as matt left to run some errands, fran snoozed, figuring matt would wake her in time for the barbecue. i woke up at 5:47 and i called him. he didn t answer, and i texted him staring at my phone waiting for him to refly and fell back asleep. reporter: she called him twice more. she remembers the exact times. 7:31 and 9:01 and got his voice mail. she was starting to freak. even six hours in, you thought something bad had happened. right because he always answers or calls me right back. so i started calling the police stations and hospitals. reporter: over at the landrys barbecue, the salmon tasted great, but matt and fran were no-shows. still, no one thought twice about it. i knew she was running a fever, and you don t really feel like doing much, especially, you know, going over to parents house. reporter: meanwhile, matt s friends were getting as worried as francesca. th
nobody can put a gun in his hands. reporter: he had been charged in both. they re hitting him now. they hit him in the face. they re beating him up now. but there were two assailants who attacked him at the quiznos. he had been double-teamed. an explanation his friends say for why this powerfully fit drummer was sustain against his will. i m 6 6 , 280 pounds. matt could take me out. matt was that strong. reporter: after matt s body was found, the task force continued combing northeast detroit for quiznos suspect number two. sources squeezed on the street told the cops they should be looking for 16-year-old robert fat daddy taylor. we flooded that area, and we shut down the drug trade in that area. reporter: you guys were bad for business. we destroyed the business for one week, and we made a statement to them. therefore, i believe they made a
were tossed away that ended when police zapped the man from a taser gun like this one. when the jolts wore off and the man was back on his feet, lieutenant blarek recognized a familiar face, someone he had seen just recently on tv. he was standing right there, right in front of me in the walmart lot when i said, that s the bank robber. reporter: the same ice-cold bandit who had held a gun to 19-year-old sarah maynard s head and demanded money. give me $50,000 or i ll kill her. a violent suspect, involved in two things that we know of, and who knows how many others. reporter: could one of those other things be a missing person? just that day, the detective had become aware that doreen landry had reported her son missing to the police in roseville, where matt s girlfriend lived and he had last been seen. and lieutenant blarek knew something else. detroit police had just found the young man s car abandoned in a bad neighborhood. he wondered, did the walmart suspect now in his ho
number one, what was matt doing at seven mile in detroit? reporter: seven mile, the northeast side, is an especially rough piece of detroit turf. drug-dealing gangs run the streets there. a bleak landscape of burned-out houses and abandoned cars. why would matt take out all of his money out of his account? reporter: matt was careful with his money. it didn t make sense. why would matt use an atm machine with a fee? reporter: so you don t see matt doing this withdrawal himself? no. i was hoping it was him. but just, wow, that just didn t didn t fit the picture at all. reporter: sunday came to an end. and few people in matt s circle could sleep that night. the next day, in one of those same nearby suburbs, a teenager cashing a paycheck would be pulled head-long into the mystery surrounding matt landry. she got the scare of her young life. coming up as soon as i set the check on the counter, i felt a gun to the
reporter: blarek and his fellow officers responded quickly. but surprisingly, the carjacked car, a red civic, was still in the walmart parking lot. the vehicle s owner was shaken up, but okay. he was approached at his driver s door by this suspect. reporter: guy displaying a gun? displayed a gun, told him to get out of the car. reporter: and why didn t the gunman take off with the car? when he got in the car to attempt to drive away, he didn t know how to drive a stick. reporter: you re kidding? no. reporter: nearby an officer spotted a nervous-eyed man with a bad 70s era afro wig. during the foot chase, the wig fell off. reporter: a guy who steals a car he doesn t know how to drive and then bolts in a jimi hendrix wig might have been comical. but this suspect on the run was also armed. he was putting his hand in his pocket, possibly trying to get the gun out. reporter: the gun and a clip
