Evil Dad Realizes Cops Found His Disturbing Secret

She's not back yet. You mind if we take. a look in her bedroom? Has she ever [music] disappeared before? She's didn't leave without permission. She doesn't not text me when I text her. What does she normally take with her. when she leaves? Tag her phone. Her phone's not in here. I found. you with that mom around here last night. or I mean the night before. Anything. Any reason she would leave? No. I guess there's a rumor going around. people telling us in this trade and go. home.

This is the moment Andy McCaulay. realized police were on [music] his. trail. Just hours earlier, his. girlfriend's daughter, Riley Crossman, suddenly went radio silent, and police. were quickly called to come and. investigate. At first glance, it looked. just like a messy teenager's bedroom. with nothing out of the ordinary. But as. the officers scoured through the. clutter, unsettling details began to. emerge. This was her book bag. Debbie says she. were, but she said the kids already went. through everything. Honey, [laughter].

they would find items that a teenager. might typically take if they were. planning to run away. But as they begin. to look even more, they start to notice. blood. Blood was on her sheet, and more was. found on her comforter. The cops were. now certain that foul play had occurred, and something terrible happened to. Riley. As they try to piece together the. puzzle, police find themselves entangled. in one man's web of deceptions and. twisted lies, all crafted to conceal his. one single disturbing secret.

On May 8, 2019, dispatchers received a. call from a concerned woman reporting. the disappearance of her 15-year-old. daughter, Riley Crossman. As officers. arrive at the scene, they come into. contact with the caller Shantel Oakley. and her boyfriend Andy Macaulay. What's going on, man? Haven't seen you in a long time. It's been a while. Any word? You mind if we take a look in her.

bedroom? Has she ever disappeared before? Even without she doesn't not text me. when I text her. This is the only mirror. we have like this. So, I came in. yesterday morning and I don't remember. that being there and especially her. glasses cuz I this is not exactly the. way it was. I've been in here digging. and looking to see if there was a note. or anything like that. According to Riley's mother, this was. unlike her and she wasn't one to run off. without telling anyone. A quick search.

of her room revealed that her belongings. were untouched except her bed, which was. covered in blood stains. This was highly. suspicious, so officers quickly took a. sample and sent it off for DNA testing. But for now, officers need to gather as. much information as possible from people. who last saw Riley. So, they decide to. question Andy about his whereabouts that. day. here last night or I mean the night. before anything. Any reason she would. leave? No. Okay.

There's rumor going around people. telling us that she was afraid to come. home. I don't know if that's you know. how people go but nothing like that. Okay. Oh, she she wouldn't have to be her. I mean, there ain't like that. Never like that. He said nothing. Nothing. Her mom was even home, right? She was to work. No, you you they said she got an. argument. They didn't want to come home. No, she was she was her grandma. She was. here doing dishes and and everything.

Grandma's here till 7:30. Okay. Uh Debbie, right? Yeah. When's the last time you you saw her? Uh. about 9, maybe 10ish. at night. Yeah. And and what and what contacts was that? Oh, she was here in the house. She went. to bed probably Well, I don't know what. time she was bed, but she was all the. kids were in the room by like 9:30. 9:30. Did she leave in the morning? No, I left 4. I got 4:00 5 in the. morning. That's 5. Okay. Go to work. According to family and friends, Andy.

was never an early riser. In fact, when. police interviewed one of his. colleagues, Johnny, he stated that he. had to go to his house and repeatedly. call him to wake him up. But on this. particular day, things were different. I'll call him and see if he's up. So that morning, do you remember if you. called him or he called you? Wednesday. morning. I want to say he called. But this was not the only strange thing. about Andy that day. He also told police. that he was at work all day. And when. cops interviewed another one of his. colleagues to verify his alibi, they.

found out that Andy had left work and. was gone for nearly 5 hours. And he gets back in roughly. two 45. So he was gone a while. Four four almost 5 hours. Because of this, detectives now know. that Andy hasn't been completely honest. with them so far, at least about staying. at work the full day. This is very. clearly a red flag and means that he's. trying to hide something from them. But. Andy [music] might not be the only one.

hiding something as officers would find. out when they decide to look into. Riley's boyfriend, Hayden. For the last. 8 months, the two reportedly facetimed. every night. So officers believed that. if anyone was in contact with Riley the. night before, it would be Hayden. And he. was soon called in for an interview 2. days after Riley went missing. Can you. just um tell us when you were last. facetiming? I was actually talking to her about the. TC trip, what was going on. And could do you know exactly what time? 10:30ish.

On the night of Riley's disappearance, it just so happened that Hayden deleted. all his messages with Riley because he. did not want his mother seeing them. This is why detectives could tell that. Hayden knows something. But [music]. because of his mother's defensiveness, he's unable to speak his mind. That's. going to form not to delete his. messages, but he is in heaven. It's. deleting everything. What do you know. about her longer mom's lifestyle or with. their relationship? I don't really know much. I feel like she just isn't a responsible.

person. She'll just let her do whatever. she wants. They had a dance and she was. wearing this short dress. She let her. walk to the school by herself in this. short dress. It's at night. Riley had. way too much room. Although this. interview was not too fruitful, it. pushed Hayden to come forward with a. crucial piece of evidence afterwards. A. series of disturbing text messages that. [music] Riley sent to him the night. before she disappeared, saying that Andy. was in her room and that she was scared.

Immediately, all suspicion was further. confirmed around Andy, and officers. would later use this information to. piece together this dark puzzle. But for. now, finding out Andy's actual. whereabouts and what really happened. during the 5 hours that Riley was. [music] missing is crucial to the. investigation. And the reason why Andy. would be called in for questioning. I just talked to Donnie, right? Saw him. leaving. Okay. Would you be surprised if he told me. something completely different? Uh, maybe. Do you not remember leaving that job.

saying to Red Hill? Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. We did go to It. did. I'm sorry. We did. You're right. Okay. You're right. You did good and did. a show. How How long were you there, Red. Hill? Like the rest of the day. Okay. Like the rest of the day. Okay. Were you. at that house the entire time fixing the. shelves? No. Okay. Where were we at? I was at I was at the other house. Okay. I went You got some We went You got some. I went got some more drugs. If Andy was. off doing illegal drugs during those.

five missing hours, then that could. possibly explain why he didn't initially. tell the cops the truth about where he. had been all day. But this also could. just be his way of trying to distract. the police by bringing their attention. to something else. At this point, detectives know that Andy is desperate. to give them an alternate alibi, and his. drug story could possibly be true. So, to cross-check, they would call in. Johnny again. Johnny had a history of. drug use and the two would often do. cocaine together so he can easily. substantiate or discredit Andy's.

account. Would you say that there was enough to. still do another line each? Oh, yeah. A couple lines each. Oh, yeah. Okay. So, you wouldn't have to. You didn't need any more coke. No. So, now Andy's story about going to get. more drugs isn't adding up. His. colleague had already told the cops that. they had more than enough cocaine to get. them through the rest of the day, so. there would be no reason for them to go. get more drugs. Realizing that Andy has. been lying, the police decide it's time. to confront him and get to the bottom of. his deception. What if I told you that I know you. weren't this nogo and you didn't buy off.

anybody that day? See what I'm getting. at? You went from this story to this. story and I got a third story. This is. one of these times you really need to. think of what you're telling me. Hey, cuz you're not being honest. Remember. what I told you about being honest? I'm. not going to just throw [ __ ] at you. I. know you weren't there. I know you. didn't buy drugs off your cousin. And I. know you didn't use them in that parking. lot that day. Where did you go when you. left? Went to my house to get the drugs. Okay. I already in my house. Okay. I already told you. I still want to tell. you in my house.

So, you go back home, you use your. drugs, and then you go back to work, and. then what? Considering the discrepancies in each. version of the story he tells officers, there is more than enough reason for. officers to not trust Andy. Like they. would express, I'm just telling you the whole part. about you being honest. I'm being honest. with you. I've been honest with you. I. told you [ __ ] I didn't even want to tell. you. Okay. You're being somewhat honest. I mean, we're doing some polling to get some. information about some drug activity, which is I don't even give two shits. about, but yet we're having trouble.

pulling that out of you. because [clears throat] I was worried. about there. Okay. And I told you I don't care about. that. You told us about the drug activity what. two nights ago. Did I arrest you for it? your knees or. anything. The main reason for detectives. pressuring Andy like this is because a. record of his movements is crucial for. this investigation. Usually, law. enforcement can just track a suspect's. movements using their phone. But in. Andy's case, he had supposedly left it. at home the day that Riley went missing.

Knowing that the more leniency. detectives show to Andy, the bolder he. would become in giving shady alibis, detectives decide to ramp up the. intensity of the conversation even more. to make Andy nervous and slip up about. his real whereabouts. Um, you know, the further along this is, whatever happens and whoever did this to. her, the worse off it gets for that. person, too. Yes, I hope so. She was probably taken out of that house. by somebody. Yeah. I hope I feel something that she. was taken that way. out because she.

would be on by now. She would be. she was taken from that house is what. I'm saying. She didn't she didn't wander. off. She didn't pack a bag and take her. clothes, take her glasses, take a cell. phone, charger, take all her money. She. had most of her money. Um, someone's. going to go back. Yeah. Um, so like I said, if someone's. going to run away or do something, they're going to make a little bit of. better effort. Um, even for a. 15year-old, I agree. For a 15-year-old kid, they're going to. at least have the necessities. Even. after explicitly stating the absurdity. of the situation, Andy seems as calm as.

ever and won't crack about where he. really was. But even in this situation, detectives have one piece of evidence. that would cause the pressure to mount. on Andy. The texts that Hayden had. showed them. Once confronted with these, Andy's behavior changes immediately. What if I told you her last text to her. boyfriend were saying, "Don't talk. because she still has to FaceTime.". Andy's in here. I'm afraid. That's what it said. What if I told you that?

I would say that's crazy. I can put my hand on the Bible and tell. you I saw those texts today. Well, I like to see him cuz I know the. problem. He is scared of me. I. [clears throat] know she was. Not only that, she said you were in here. and she was in her bedroom because the. FaceTime was stolen. I was never in her room. That's not what she's saying. I don't go in her room. Andy, I'm not lying to you. I was not in. a room for one and for two, the kids are. not scared of there's no reason for her. to be scared of me. I've been there for. interr.

obviously to her he's afraid of. something. The walls are closing in on Andy quickly. and he's no longer able to keep up with. his lies. He can't think of any possible. reason why Riley would be afraid of him. or any explanation for why she would. have sent her boyfriend those texts. There's no way. There's no way your. mother will tell you that it's not true. There's no. I'm telling you I read that with my own.

eyes today. I don't know. I know. So, you see where that puts us? Yeah, I understand. But the kid's not. scared of me. I don't understand how you. guys can say that. Despite the damning. physical evidence, Andy continues to. insist that there was no reason that. Riley would have been afraid of him. Perhaps he thinks that if he denies this. enough times, the cops will simply move. on. That's not what her mother said. That's what she is saying. She's saying, that's why we're saying that. We don't. know what goes on behind closed doors. when you know you and Chantel are there.

or Chantel and Riley are there or we. don't know. Okay. But obviously in her. mind, she's afraid of you. Would you. agree? It doesn't make sense. answers at. all. So, does she have any reason to say. that? No. Why would she say that? Oh, no. At this point, the cops have given Andy. an opportunity to come up with any sort. of explanation at all or even a lie. This would have been his chance to point. towards something that may have happened. in the past, even as simple as a. disagreement between the two of them as. a possible reason Riley would have. written these things. But Andy is not.

taking the bait. Is she been neglectful towards you? Does. she hate you? No, she'll hate me. She loves me. That's. what I'm asking you. I don't know that. Does she argue with you? No, ever. We have. She never cusss at you, curse you out, nothing. Never. Nothing in a year and a half. Nothing. Okay. So, it sounds like to me she does. love you soheartedly. Yes. Okay. So, why would she say that? I don't know. In a year and a half, we. have not had one conflict. Okay. Me and the boy. Yeah, we have. Okay. But there's never been anything. like you said a year and a half or the.

last several weeks, several months, several days, nothing that's either. like, "Oh yeah, I read about one time. she wanted this and I told her that. maybe she got mad and she's nothing.". With all else failing, Andy would. attempt to try and convince the cops. that he shares the same sentiments as. them. But you see where that puts us, right? I. understand. I understand what you guys. are if I'm mad that you guys are doing. your job. I mean, that's the last message he has. from her. I'm glad you guys are doing. your job. I think she's doing her job, but there's nothing I can think of. He wants to do her job. That's that's.

what we're doing. I'm asking the job up. And I'm not mad. You guys don't know. Godamn. I think. he's a little pissed off, but nothing. There's nothing that I can think of. She'll be mad at me for or she'll be. upset with me or scared of me or. anything with me. You didn't go in that room? No, she still had FaceTime one, too. Okay. Well, I was in that room. The cops lacked probable cause at this. time to arrest Andy. But there is one. piece of evidence that is about to. change the course of this entire. investigation. It was around this time.

that the lab results on that blood. sample would finally return and it would. be an exact match to Andy's DNA. But. that's not all. They also learned that. the blood they tested was also mixed. with saliva. This made the cops suspect. that Riley's face may have been forced. into the pillow in an attempt to keep. her from screaming. This is an important. development, but they still haven't. located Riley, and they need to find. more information about where Andy was. during those five missing hours. Luckily.

though, all of that can be answered in. the CCTV footage that captured all of. Andy's movements. There were cameras. attached to a nearby high school that. captured Andy Macaulay leaving his work. site. That was the starting point of the. investigation for the cops. They knew. the direction of his travel, including. the facts that he was on Route 9. An. eyewitness who knew what Andy's vehicle. looked like was able to confirm that she. saw his truck backed up into the. driveway of Riley's home in the middle. of the day when he should have been at. work. At this point, the cops [music].

believe that Andy killed Riley during. the late night or early morning hours, likely to keep her from screaming while. he assaulted her. They believe he then. hid her body in the bedroom until. everyone left, and then later returned. to the house when it was empty to pick. up her body and [music] dispose of it, using CCTV footage to guide them. And. with the help of police canines trained. to pick [music] up Riley's scent, they. search a nearby mountainous area. It is. there that they tragically find [music]. Riley's decomposing body left in a. secluded area. While this is the outcome.

that nobody wanted, it marks the turning. point in the case. Near where Riley's. body is found, there are several. unique-l lookinging screws discovered. These are the same screws that were. located when the cops had searched. Andy's vehicle the day previously. This. is even further evidence that solidified. the case [music] against him. And 8 days. after the discovery of Riley's body, Andy is arrested and charged with her. murder. [music] He pleaded not guilty.

In the trial, Andy's defense argued that. the prosecution failed to provide a. clear motive or definitive cause of. death, as the exact cause could not be. determined due to the body's. decomposition. Despite this, the jury. found significant evidence linking. [music] Macaulay to the crime, such as. the presence of drywall mud on. Crossman's body, which matched the. drywall found in Macau's truck, and. inconsistencies in Macau's statements. about his whereabouts on the day of. Crossman's disappearance. The jury. deliberated for about 4 hours over the.

course of 2 days and decided [music]. that the monster who murdered Riley was. none other than Andy Macaulay. Finally, justice for Riley had been served. The. only thing left was for Andy to be. sentenced.
