argument, don t worry about it. but the second he told me he had the baby, i knew something was wrong. you paged her how many times? i couldn t count how many times i paged her. and no answer? no answer. by now it was saturday, 10:20 a. m., marie had been missing for almost 18 hours. andre called the inglewood police. police? yes, i d like to file a missing persons report. okay. who is missing? my wife, her name is marie jackson. an officer came out to the house and met with andre. you know, i see him talking to the cops but i still don t see my mom anywhere. and i think that s when i found out that my mom still hadn t come home yet. had no idea where she was at. police started interviewing witnesses, searching the neighborhood, but the weekend passed with no sign of marie. that s when the phone rang on the desk of fbi agent rick hadel. we got the report i believe on a monday, maybe a tuesday, that she was missing, didn t report to work. of course, they were c
i couldn t give up. it was my sister. the family didn t know it, but there was someone else who refused to give up. fbi agent rick hadel. he had never found any evidence of espionage in marie s murder, but he d also never forgotten about her. so, here it is now january, 2002, i m a squad supervisor now, i m the guy that assigns the cases instead of investigating them. and i m talking with an agent. i said, tony, how about reopening this case as an assault on a federal officer case. all just because you never stopped thinking about it. exactly. i just i didn t like the the fact that you got a woman who has given her life, dedicated to the government murdered and just lying out there because nobody cares. and so i thought, well, let s give it another shot. so, eight years after the murder, fbi agent tony vasley called on inglewood pd and met detective russ inard who was a month shy of retiring. they
honestly, it was like a complete family. it felt like i finally had a complete family. it was the best feeling in the world. like the ultimate high. and then suddenly, the ultimate low. the ultimate low because on november 11th, 1994, marie singleton, rock solid, wife, mother, businesswoman vanished. the local police investigated, of course, but so did an fbi agent named rick hadel. we had concerns that there may be missing classified information, u. s. government information. classified information? yes. as we said before, everyone has secrets. and marie had a big one. one she had told very few people. officially marie singleton worked for the department of defense.

something to do with it as well. remember, when marie first disappeared, the fbi investigated on the theory it might have been espionage. but the family didn t know the results of that investigation and didn t know why police hadn t moved against andre. and since we didn t have the answers, it was always a wonderment to us on why it was taking so long. maybe they all were working in cahoots with each other. despite their dark suspicions, the family turned the letter over to inglewood police, but still, no answers. not for years. i constantly called california to find out what was being done and what was happening with the case. you didn t want to give up. i couldn t give up. it was my sister. the family didn t know it, but there was someone else who refused to give up. fbi agent rick hadel. he had never found any evidence of espionage in marie s murder, but he d also never forgotten about her. so, here it is now january, 2002, i m a squad supervisor now, i m the guy tha
