Missing: Dead or Alive?

All right, I'm heading that way.

You got a whole squad with you?

Y'all think I want to be a statistic on CNN?

Can I keep breathing?

Can I live to see another day?

Officers come here with their hands on their pistol.

No, no, no. I did not even know you was looking for me.

Her bedroom?

In the living room.

The air mattress.

That would definitely not hold my mama back. She's strong.

Probably with... some guy.

The last person she dated was... Albert.

No, hold on, hold on, hold on. Uh-uh.

Theodore Roosevelt.

To... Um, she ran away from the house.

That's my mama.

My... ex-wife did.

'Cause I didn't.

So what happened that night?

She was off her meds.

She has to be on her meds.

For what?

She gets paranoid and then she, like...

starts talking about people out to get her,

and she wants to give up on everything.

I said, "Mom, if you don't get on your medication,

I'm gonna take you somewhere where they're gonna make you."

But she's thinking like I'm... "What you mean, make me?"

Oh, God, here we go.

So she had a bunch of issues.

A bunch of issues. Sometimes she seemed sane,

and then other times it's like, "Oh, what's going on, Mama?"

Went into the hospital, Prisma Health. I went in there.

Tried to specify, "I just want y'all to get her on her medication."

"That's all I want y'all to do. I'm... not trying to put her in here."

They put her in inpatient anyway.

By the time I get back to Prisma Health and I try to find my mom,

it's like, "Oh, she signed out on her own recognizance."

I'm like, "What in the world? So where's she at?"

"She signed out and left."

It's like they erased her off the books and let her go free.

A couple days go by when she's in the hospital?

Four, five, six days?

So since she went to the hospital,

you've never seen her again?

No.

Not that I can recall.

All this stuff out there in the back?

There was so much more stuff in that house.

This past week.

Put carpet in one room.

Well, the guy, I think he's buying the house.

Well, he gave a deposit for it, $2,500.

No, for the deposit on the house.
