because it was all bunched up. it had leafs on it, like fake leafs. sewn on? yeah. there was also a maroon wig. i did see the wig and kinda creeped me out, so i didn t wanna pick it up at all. so what d you and your friend do at that point? i showed him. he told me it was a poison ivy costume. we actually contemplated keeping it cause it looked cool. yeah. and decided that it wasn t worth our time, threw it back down right where it was underneath the plywood and then continued to look for scrap metal. the two left with what little metal they could salvage and forgot all about it until about a week later, i was at work and i saw a poster for the missing girl wearing that costume.
minutes later he called 911, very upset. can you tell if it s a male, female? female. i think it s the one posted all over time. he was guessing because it was unrecognizable, but was it chelsea? had the truck not gotten stuck, they wouldn t have found out. the body would have been buried forever. instead we all responded out there. we had the crime lab from the michigan state police come out to help us. we took a close look at the body. had it been covered up or anything like that? the body had some small logs, branches over parts of the body. as if somebody tried to hide it. yes. not far from the body, they found one artificial leaf just like the rest of the leaves on chelsea s poison ivy costume. kind of tells you something,
that knew her. so i didn t have a aren t to be concerned that big thing. the biggest regret of my life. in hindsight, the worst mistake i ever made was not looking out better than i did. there was so much i could have done to help protect her. i didn t. later much later, someone would report seeing chelsea as the party wound down in the dark alone. seemed to be crying. and then nothing. chelsea vanished into the cold night air. coming up, where was chelsea? centerly she d turn up by the next day. i guess there was a hope that something silly happened. that hope faded fast. there were 15 people here.
problem. how do investigate people in halloween disguise. coming up, an eyewitness. he saw chel see. he described her as being tipsy. he also spotted someone walking away from her. upon releasing it, we got flooded with phone calls. when dateline. continues.
violence. i just like smoking weed and having sex. sex and pot, oh, he probably liked those things a lot, didn t he? but peace, nonviolence? time to figure out mr. clay. and this was when the detective went to work. you told me you never had sex. never had sex or nothing. would there be any reason that your dna would be on chelsea bruck. no. or on her clothes or in her hair? not to my knowledge. a good interrogation is like peeling an onion. coming up, daniel clay s story starts to change. when i asked you about chels chelsea bruck and having sex so that means when dateline continues. so t- when dateline continues with pronamel repair toothpaste, more minerals enter deep into the enamel s surface.
