talk some true crime [Music] thank you [Music] all right Captain yesterday we went
through the search and rescue efforts for detrez green and when we got to the end of our search and rescue timeline
there we were really starting to see a lot of red flags as to detrez Green's home situation in his parents situation
as well all right so do you want to hear what might be the reddest of flags or maybe it's the largest of the red flags
which would make more sense to say go for it all right this is this could blow your mind so adjust your headphones
properly at no time repeat at no time did the parents of detrez green ever give or provide a photograph of this kid
to the Searchers to police or any Authority at all not on the day that the boy went missing which I guess okay
you've been hit by a a tornado it's been a natural disaster so I'll give them a break as to
their home was hit hard destroyed by this tornado okay so maybe you can't find a photograph of him or maybe that's
not the first thing on your mind but let's fast forward here it's been over four years now and they are still yet to
give or provide a photograph to police boy and we know that his father had a cell phone so most people these days
maybe you don't have an actual physical picture of your child but you would have
a bunch of pictures in your phone correct and that's what makes your head kind of spin here because you're going
all right um maybe you couldn't find a physical photo because your home was destroyed
but as you said digital photos somewhere right in the cloud on your cell phone did you find your phone do your family
members do your extended family have any photographs of your son because according to your story mom and dad he
was over slightly over two years old when this tornado takes him and everybody knows how parents are of small
children they're constantly taking photographs of these kids and so I just find this incredibly
bizarre again maybe they didn't find their cell phone but couldn't you reach out to other people so this tells me two
things Captain one you don't really want to find or further probably don't even care
if detrez is ever found and two you probably don't have any photos of your boy and I don't think
this tornado is to blame I think Kevin and adasia are to blame well it also makes you wonder was there some foul
play that happened to that this child and then later they used the tornado as a an excuse to cover up
something bad that they did to this child I mean this father seems more interested in finding
his cell phone than he does finding his child and that buying web search dictionary makes him a piece of [ __ ]
yeah so we have media who went looking for photographs of the boy as well right because they're into uncovering the
truth they couldn't find anything in regards to detrez Green now one photo of detrez as an infant supposedly I've
not seen this but I've been told this is the situation so I throw in the word supposedly appeared on Facebook but even
if that's true that is it the infant photo on Facebook if true that is the only known photograph digital or paper
to have ever existed of a sweet little boy who was alive and well according to his parents he is alive and well for
over two years until a terrible storm stole him from you and you the parents loved him so very much
that you took one single photograph of him remember what you say when what we would say when we were kids
bull pucky right I call Bull pucky on this whole situation involving the storm well and I'm going to say something and
you might think I'm crazy but it really starts making you question did this child even exist at all I don't find
that to be a crazy statement at all and in fact that's what a lot of other people in this situation started to
question just within a week or two of the boy missing so then we have gbi gbi gets called in at some point Georgia
Bureau of Investigation so if you're going to call in somebody to get to the bottom of something and you live in the
state of Georgia these are the people to call so we have gbi who says it's impossible to find a missing person if
you don't know what they look like gbi special agent Porter told the media quote it's very unusual maybe somebody
out there has a photo and they just haven't brought it Forward yet but it is unusual end quote then you have the the
Dougherty County Police Captain Tom Jackson who said There Are No photos that I know of of detrez green to me
that is a little strange that two parents would not have a photo of their child not to mention that it makes it
extremely difficult to locate a person when you don't know what he looks like I wouldn't say that's a little strange I'd
say that's wildly strange I'm with you I think that the police captain and gbi special agent that they're being overly
polite about the situation now law enforcement was clearly unsettled by this non-existent photo situation when
detrez's extended family was asked about it Detroit's great grandfather Willie Rainey told
w-a-l-b that his granddaughter explained it away saying there were some pictures
according to my granddaughter but she said her phone got lost during the storm now
Willie Rainey I like this guy the grandfather of adasia and he's the great grandfather of detrez I like this
guy he's he does not have a deja's back by giving the statement he's simply passing along to the media what she told
him he's not coming to her defense he's just saying look they're not talking to you guys and you keep asking people
what's going on this is what they have told me her father her grandfather I'm sorry has gone out of his way to say he
is suspicious of everything that adasia has told him he's suspicious about Kevin
and his actions so this is not a grandfather running to her rescue here's the thing that I want to point out to
adasia and caviar if you're listening the simple truth of your family and your child to me looking in from the outside
it's as simple as this it looks to me like neither of you cared about the treze enough to take his picture and you
know what Mom and Dad even Casey Anthony had pictures of Kaylee her daughter there was another
big red flag raising questions about Kevin and adasia that's right Captain another perhaps Kevin and adasia should
open up a big red flag store because they got plenty of them to sell they have red flags come out of their ass
right so Emergency Management Personnel were on site at the mobile home park where detrez green lived immediately
after the storm we covered that in yesterday's show about one hour after the storm passed in fact yet none of the
First Responders recall having any any interaction with detreza's parents at that time no one came out of the trailer
screaming about their missing kid in fact the four remaining family members left
they left and went to a relative's home mom and dad scooped up their two remaining children and drove off into
the sunset so here's a very quick and short timeline the tornado hit Dougherty County at 3 15 PM adasia called police
to report the treas missing at 8 10 pm on Sunday night that's why they weren't looking for the boy until that night
five hours elapsed before she called well you know just to play a little devil's advocate here
Casey Anthony never called the police until she was forced to by her family all right so so we have if you're
keeping score at home people one to one greens have one point and Casey Anthony has one point and if you're tied with
Casey Anthony you're a giant pile of [ __ ] you got a whole set of problems and you're the and you're to blame for those
so the gbi special agent Porter again remarked to the news saying that it was very significant this is a very
significant Gap in time for parents to be missing a child so that kind of stuck out to them especially because emergency
Personnel were on the scene in the trailer park within an hour banging on doors they're not waiting for people to
come to them and ask for help they're going door to door and helping people and getting them out of their homes and
doing whatever they can to assist and help these people well let's see what these pos's have to say for themselves
okay Captain so we have Cheryl bird she's a spokeswoman for the County's Emergency Management agency she says
that adasia told the agency that she last saw the Tres walking toward the back door of that mobile home
then the storm hit the tree fell through the roof and it was chaos the power went
out the family had to leave and go to a relative's home which they did that evening and then they reported to trez
missing at that point so it seems to me based off of this statement what adasia seems to be implying is that they had to
leave and go to a relatives to use the phone to call police well and that makes sense
with the story though if if the father could not find his cell phone it does make sense but once you start to line
these things up you go all right are they stalling or did they get out of that area on purpose I mean if it takes
you four to five hours to drive somewhere to make that emergency phone call there's a phone somewhere between you
and that in the time that it takes to travel that distance right I don't know how far away the relative's home was I
tried to find that because I wanted to go okay well if they would have left at this time they could have been there
possibly for two hours before they made the phone call I couldn't figure that out but then we also have to keep in
mind we have the neighbor who's out helping people pulling people out of the debris he pulls out their daughter says
do you need anything else and the father tells them no we're all good here well your son is still missing maybe Kevin
didn't know that he was missing at that time I don't believe it I actually don't
think that that was the last time that these parents saw their son then we have emergency crews we have a neighbor out
helping right after the storm emergency crews within the hour at the mobile home
park it all seems to me like these people were trying to get out of Dodge they wanted to get away from a situation
they wanted to report him missing that's obvious because they did in fact do that
five hours later they wanted everybody to know that the kid was missing and it the storm was to
blame but they didn't want to be there and have to answer questions face to face they didn't want to have to do an
interview face to face right and that seems to me obviously you can't pre-plan these
things it seems to me like that was at some point that it became their plan so let's talk
about the 9-1-1 call calling in to report him essay but like you said the 911 call came in five hours
later five hours after the storm hit right after the tornado passed through so the Albany Herald interviewed the 911
operator again this is because the parents are just not making themselves accessible to the media so you go to you
take the next step you have to interview the operator who took the call instead of a Deja who placed the call that night
the 911 Communications manager this is Sheila Sims said that the call came from a Deja Rainey and it was one of the most
unusual missing persons calls in all of her time working as a dispatcher she says that she at that time she had been
there for 18 years and she went on to describe how calmly adasia sounded when she called 9-1-1
adding quote in my experience with a child that age the parents are usually hysterical and screaming that we are not
doing enough and we just didn't get that I believe the first call came in shortly
after 8 PM these are again her words it may have been 801 or 8 2 pm adasia was not at the address where this took place
where her story happened she said that she had to get to a phone to call us and that was hours later and
quote in the call adasia said to Shelley I was trying to call 9-1-1 to report my
son missing I don't know where he is the wind must have toted him off or something
were her words now Shelley went on to ask adasia if she had searched the trailer park for her son and a Deja
responded yeah I did I didn't walk all over I just tried to hurry up and seek shelter they told us to come to the
front I'm guessing this is the front of the the mobile home park and I checked everywhere in our area and I couldn't
see him so according to the parents of detrez After the Storm they looked around didn't see him and then left to
go call 9-1-1 from a family member's home five hours later they never mentioned him to emergency crews who
were there to help on site to help as we said Captain gbi was called in and we have a statement from Chief Battle of
the Dougherty County Police Department announcing that they requested that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation become
involved she said basically we've searched for this child along with experts in search
and rescue for five days it wasn't until that Friday on at 2 30 pm on January 27th that the
search was called off and she announced to the public hey this is a police investigation and we've brought
in gbi to assist us in this case because you can see the complexities of this case
already what also makes you wonder the maturity level of the parents the emotional maturity level of the parents
and also just is is there some mental health issues is there maybe even some disabilities there
because they're they're acting so strange compared to how you think somebody else
would act or how you would compare how you would act yourself agreed you do wonder that but to me
they're acting guilty they're acting guilty of something that they're just not telling us
um their their behavior is highly suspicious and it almost seems to me like they are
doing their best to cover something up give a story stick to it and then be unavailable and uncooperative with
investigators media and so on so that they don't have to be held to task right they don't have to
have their feet held to the Flames to answer the tough questions and further they are not even assisting in
the search for this little boy let's say that a storm took him and he was found alive and well and maybe it took a lot
longer than anybody expected two weeks three weeks a month whatever but let's say and pretend that they found the Tres
green alive and well and they returned him at some point one I'd have to wonder if they would
return him knowing the parents actions or lack of action to help find him but then could you imagine you go to see
your great grandfather or your great aunt as a young adult and maybe they can't keep quiet anymore and they say
you know you were missing all that time and we were so glad and so blessed to find you
but you know I have to tell you your mom and dad didn't help in the search for you at
all yeah that's pretty awful so of course Captain for all of the reasons we have previously discussed gbi officials
were suspicious to say the least that the parents were not being entirely forthcoming about what happened to their
son the two largest red flags their biggest red flags are just what we pointed out before
one there's no photo of him the GB I could find and two let's not forget that prior to
that tornado no one had seen him recently and were not you know we're not talking about
hours or days we mean months no one has seen detrez Green in months leading up to this tornado and then in regards to
gbi in their investigation on January 31st so they are only on the case for about
two days at this point gbi conducted a dig at a house located at 1006 Pine knot Road in Ashburn
it turns out this is the former home of Kevin and adasia the gbi spent over two hours at the home
digging in at least two locations now they said of the search in the end there's nothing that they can release at
the time that they were following up on evidence from the case they did say hey like the media caught wind of this oh
you're you're searching for detrez green but you're not searching for him in the
area that he was supposedly living when he went missing according to Mom and Dad
you're now looking for him at a prior residence and they were not quiet about this they
didn't go out of their way to making an announcement but when asked they said yes we're searching a previous residence
of of Kevin and adasia we know that at one time or it's believed at one time detrez
green lived here with them and we're letting the evidence take us where it will take us in this case and it is 100
our search of that area was 100 due to the ongoing investigation of the Tres green and his whereabouts
[Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
all right we're back thanks for joining us thanks for listening thanks for telling a friend make sure you subscribe
and give us five stars cheers to you Colonel what a frustrating case this is so far cheers to you
Captain cheers to everybody out there that's ever given us five stars now gbi this is their investigation man and
something you had asked earlier you said hey I'm going to throw the statement out
there I'm starting to wonder if this kid ever existed at all am I crazy and I said no you're not because we have a few
days in or a couple weeks in I'm sorry where gbi's saying not only have we not seen a photograph of this kid not only
can we not find anybody that's ever seen him other than the the two parents in this you know one Aunt of hers right and
I guess the brother that's backing up green Kevin's brother so we got four people that claims to have seen the kid
at some point in their in his two years of existence they're also saying at this
point we can't find a birth certificate for detrez so it is not crazy to think surprise surprise
that he may not have ever existed so it sounds to me gbi is being very thorough here in their investigation they're
they're covering all their bases here and looking into any of these possibilities but also from a citizen
standpoint I think the masses it's easier for you and I and for everybody out there to go you know what
okay maybe these people didn't do something horrible to this kid maybe maybe they didn't harm their own child
maybe he just never existed and they made up the existence of this boy to collect
welfare or gain assistance of some sort that it was more of a more of a fraudulent thing rather than well what
would be a homicide negligent or otherwise we have the three-year-old daughter and then we have an infant
and so we're saying that detrez was too so that puts you know him and his older sibling
pretty close together an age well and we have this interesting statement from the
police department too that says and this is a quote from the news says I understand that there have been
people that adasia has contacted that have actually seen this child but not within the last couple of months or
maybe a year or so so police can't find anybody that has seen the kid in a couple of months but also adding in
their statement maybe up to a year or so right but again let's just say let's just say hypothetically I have this
child child is born at the age of two or three I then make up that they have a sibling
I could probably change the dress of that baby and from a distance or through pictures
or or not much interaction between the child and other individuals convince you that
I have two children you've just never seen both of them at the same time it has more and more time passed captain
and there was no sign of detrez as his parents stop cooperating that's what the papers say I I question if they ever
cooperated to begin with we do know that they cut off Communications with investigators if they ever really
communicated with them to begin with law enforcement spoke in terms that plainly conveyed their suspicions of the
parents at some point when talking about this case with the media in November of
2017 with detrez gone 11 months the police captain said that the case is frustrating to police because until
someone speaks up the truth about what happened to detrez will never be proven and I think it's interesting
you know we've talked about this in regards to Delphi and other cases uh BTK the list goes on and on and on police
work within the confines that they have to but they but they are very aware most
times the better agencies are anyway they are very aware of the words that they choose to use when giving
statements to the media and the public and here the captain chooses to use the word proven
the truth about what happened to detrez Green will never be proven until somebody speaks up and tells us the
truth right interesting he used chose to use the word proven instead of known what that tells us is that investigators
have a good idea possibly even know what happened to detrez they just don't have
enough for an arrest I agree possibly you know and they know who's responsible too they just don't know where to take
this case because there's there's so much lacking there's so many so much information that's
lacking for them to to work with to build a case I I tend to try to think of these cases I find them to be more
interesting if I if I kind of focus on what would I be doing as law enforcement and if the parents came forward and said
look to trez was was never a real kid who made him up for fraudulent reasons I don't know if you could initially
believe them you would need to have proof of this right because and you know that because if if they now come clean
and say look he never existed well you all been lying to everybody for two years so how can we believe anything
you say you're you're exactly right there you have to to confirm that and find a way to confirm that but let's
bring back in Lisa remember this is adasia's Aunt and she's been very vocal in this case as well as adasia's great
or adasia's grandfather and I commend and applaud her family for going out of their way to try to clear a lot of this
up and try to provide some of the truth and to publicly you know I understand you don't want to air your dirty laundry
right but after months and months and months and you're seeing parents act suspiciously the whole time
I applaud them for bringing their suspicions to the media and voicing their concerns about these parents to
the media so Lisa her aunt says and this is pretty revealing and very damning information
she worked in the Turner County 9-1-1 Center in Ashburn this is the same town where her niece lived before moving to
the mobile home park Lisa says look we were too we we were very close at one time me and adasia she says that when
she worked at the 9-1-1 call center she heard a lot of calls involving Kevin green now
this started before adasia and Kevin were even in a relationship together she was hearing
911 calls regarding this Kevin green before they're in a relationship together she says that at the time so this would
have been 2010 Kevin was 22 years old he was a trucker his wife at the time would
call 9-1-1 repeatedly charging that Kevin was beating her in front of their small children now no charges were ever
filed and the two eventually separated but stayed married for a while So Lisa was horrified when in 2012 her beloved
niece adasia introduced her new boyfriend to the family Kevin green adasia was still in high school at
Turner County High School in the ROTC program at this time caviar was more than seven years her senior Lisa says
that she warned adasia about Kevin and everyone in her family did but the two announced their engagement in late 2012
as adasia was entering her senior year in high school Kevin was still married to his first wife at the time this this
always drives me nuts this is one of those things that makes me makes me want to just go outside open up the car door
insert my head and just slam it right in there because I can help you with that thank you I will never understand for
the life of me when people when smart people I don't know if a deja's smart maybe she's not but I've witnessed it
seems to be in my lifetime where you have someone for whatever reason and it's got to be complete Bizarro
reasons will believe something that a complete stranger tells them rather than someone that they've known for years
maybe decades somebody that they know has had their back on multiple occasions let's believe total
total stranger person but not believe the person that has helped me out countless times a person
that I know that hey I might not always like them but uh I know that they got my
back and you know where where do you where do you put the weight in into people's statements and beliefs it just
I mean how could you not believe your aunt who's telling you look this guy his wife
was calling in repeatedly that he was beating her up all the time and now he's your boyfriend I'm just I'm warning you
I'm trying to tell you get away from him right and Deja I'm in love I'm gonna stay with this guy
so the couple move in together and their residents the first residents that they
live in is described as a trailer with garbage bags covering the windows I have nothing about against living in a
trailer I've considered it multiple times in my lifetime and I've seen some pretty nice ones out there too and some
of the Parks look inviting most of the parks not for me I see any kind of dwelling with garbage bags covering the
windows I've got concerns hey I got a great place I can rent to you Captain yeah the HOA fees are
plastic bags so on September 8 2013 adasia well she's going to get to unfortunately experience some of
these things first hand it sounds like because she calls 9-1-1 says that she was cooking
dinner when Kevin came into their trailer and started accusing her of something with a friend that she had on
Facebook they argued for a while and he punched her in the head now this is from
the police report so adasia told deputies I balled up in the corner floor hollering then he hit
me he hit my head against the wooden pole constantly non-stop then he picked me up by the neck choking me with my
feet dangling that was her words in the police report that's before the Tres goes missing so Kevin was arrested and
charged with battery in that situation now he told officers look she made it all up she inflicted all these injuries
herself just to get me in trouble yes we were arguing but this is the result she
she set me up you know what I hoped for I I hope for that one he existed and that somebody else took him away
that saw that this was not a positive situation and took him away or they they sold him
to somebody that wanted to have a child and treat a child the way the child should be treated yeah and that maybe
that they've never come forward because one the parents have no proof if it's their child or not
but they didn't ever come forward because they didn't want there to be any other chance that they could have to
give up their son and go back to these two yahoos well and who knows because these things are really all over the
shop aren't they we've seen cases where it's obvious that the child was abducted
that what Mom and Dad are saying is in fact the truth then we've had some other questionable cases like Dior Coons where
you wonder and there's been a lot of speculation did they sell the boy to somebody that wanted a son for whatever
reasons and then you have a case like the Juan Sims where I feel I feel like we have a
similar situation to Dewan Sims case here where something happened to Dewan Sims he's a little kid and then mom goes
to the shopping mall and we covered that case I don't know the episode number but she goes to the shopping mall and
says hey uh somebody abducted him from the the mall and they start reviewing the cameras and they're like yeah we see
you we don't ever see you with your son we don't think he was ever in the shopping mall so what it appears
happened in The Sims case is something happened to this boy and then she has to concoct the story
and comes up with this story later to explain away why he is not anywhere to be found anymore the Dewan Sims episode
is episode 160 and you can find all of our episodes from episode 1 to the episode now
they're available everywhere Apple podcast Stitcher Spotify wherever you listen to podcast so grease up your ear
balls because there's plenty to listen to what's different about this case as opposed to those other cases
is I don't even know if this child ever existed well right and I I see you kind of circling around that so I wanted to
make sure that I got to this portion of it and this is kind of why I brought up this uh police report incident where
adasia says it Kevin beat her up so I guess they make up at some point after this because he was in fact
charged with battery during that situation or because of that situation but a few weeks later she gives birth to
Kevin's son and this would be detrez's older brother so the oldest of the three small
children so the family moved into the pine knot Roadhouse that we discussed and they lived there for a year maybe a
couple years Lisa her aunt that tried to warn adasia about Kevin says look I kind of used my
position as a dispatch officer to conveniently send officers there once in a while for
welfare checks because she was so worried about what would happen to her niece and possibly that child to trez's
older brother adasia's family has told the media we knew where they lived we were never
allowed in the house we at never any time ever went into their home or their homes as it were well again this is an
abusive situation we know that and one of the things that these abusive [ __ ] bag men like to do is they won they'll
separate their victim the the person that they're abusing from their family and their friends and they'll control
those situations so you know for all we know he's controlling the situation where he doesn't want any of them ever
going into the house right and then this leads us to a notable incident that followed the birth of detrez green okay
so the last incident was before his older brother was born this would have been shortly after so the Tres was born
on October 28 2014. on his fifth or sixth day at home adasia's father Grady Rainey got a call from his
daughter something's going on so he in turn calls the police and what happened then was the Turner County dispatch
received a 9-1-1 call regarding adasia and Kevin and it was basically her father saying
my daughter and her boyfriend are fighting that's why I'm calling you and asked if you do you know if there are
any weapons involved and he says I know he's got a gun I don't know if there's any weapons involved in this incident
but I know that he owns a gun on the call he tells the dispatcher that his daughter
adasia said quote if my baby daddy don't quit beating me I'm going to shoot him the father Asia's father goes on to tell
the operator that there was a one-year-old toddler and a newborn in the home so Detroit's green would be the
newborn that was in the home now we have police that go to to that residence to their residence to see what's going on
they get no answer but due to the call and due to a gun being referenced multiple times during the call
they call in the SWAT team well it it's like a standoff man a two-hour standoff before Kevin Greene
comes out of the house he's immediately arrested um adasia who was 19 at the time tells
police it was all just a misunderstanding she stuck to her story so we we do have you know law
enforcement on record saying this is one of the hardest things to do you get a domestic violence victim it's difficult
to get them to speak out often and in this situation at least no charges were filed but what we do have here
is that we know based off of this incident that this was confirmed by child services
that Detroit's green existed and he was alive and at that home and he's about six days old at this time
and speaking of adasia's family let's stick with Lisa here and some of her information that she's able to provide
to us in regards to detrez's case she says that in the Atlanta Journal Constitution
these are her exact words I'll just read her exact words so we don't have to try
to decipher what they mean quote she spoke of a toxic atmosphere in her niece's home adasia is who's she talking
she's talking about with Kevin accused multiple times of beating her ten months later Lisa said she she's heard no
plausible explanations about what happened that night tetrez is still missing haunting Lisa and people around
Albany who want answers to one of the most discussed and speculated about child disappear disappearances in the
area's recent memory as she waits Lisa tries to make sense of a conversation she said she had with the
trez's parents right after the tornado when they called her and her words are quote nobody said anything about a kid
was missing they said they were fine end quote according to Lisa adasia's aunt she
speaks with him right after the tornado nothing's wrong we're fine obviously Kevin the the father is a horrible
individual but you know he has a pretty long list of offenses yeah so we do have some of that
information here Captain if you want to go through it yeah okay so what I have in my notes is that from 2010 to 2014
records show he was arrested six times in Turner County at least three times related to domestic disputes
his charges included disorderly conduct battery for Family Violence and a misdemeanor simple battery charge now
more than two years after the tornado 2019 Dougherty County Police responded to a family violence call involving the
parents the police report said that adasia told the officers she and her then husband Kevin got in a fight she
also said he quote locks her in their residence end quote the report said the officer couldn't find green couldn't
find Kevin green that night and there was no record of him being charged so we've seen this in other cases too they
respond to a domestic violence case you know if there's not a lot of proof of what the complaint is and you can't find
the person that the complaint is going to be filed against or she talks herself out of filing the
complaint sometimes there's no charges that that go anywhere in these situations now there were some
developments I guess in this case last year in 2020 the gbi released a press release asking for the Public's
assistance in the missing child investigation here's the full release police are seeking The public's
assistance in a nearly four-year-old missing child's investigation on January 27 2017 the Doherty County Police
Department requested the gbi to assist in The Disappearance of two-year-old detrez green on January 22nd 2017 at
approximately 3 P.M a tornado struck the Piney Woods trailer park in Doherty County where the Green family resided at
the time at approximately 8 10 pm police received a call about a missing child later
identified as detrez and immediately began his search the child's parents reported that a tornado hit their home
and a tree crashed through the trailer law enforcement and search Crews spent days searching for detrez a nearby Pond
was drained in search provided no results throughout the course of this investigation no picture of detrez has
been provided to police agents and investigators worked together on numerous investigative Acts they
included conducting interviews and searched the parents former home in Turner County anyone with information
related to The Disappearance of detrez is urged to call the Dougherty County Police Department
the gbi regional office or Crime Stoppers and I'll give the crime stopper number here and I'll give the gbi's
number before we wrap up Crime Stoppers if you want to leave an anonymous anonymous tip or information call
229-436 tips tip s now the Tres green little detress would have turned six years old on October 28
2020. he should be turning seven this month Captain but unfortunately he was born into a bad situation born into a
home with a violent man and parents who just didn't care for him or his well-being or
hell love him enough to take pictures of the child in conclusion sadly detreza's
extended relatives care about the little boy they never met more than his own parents did Willie Rainey told
w-a-l-b that me and my wife will talk and we often wonder still today what happened with our grandbaby Willie does
not believe the story being told by adasia and Kevin about what happened to detrez he also has reconciled himself to
the fact that detrez is no longer alive while he is relieved that Kevin and adasia's other two kids remain in foster
care he said that his experience working in law enforcement taught him and told him that Kevin Greene's arrest record
should have led to the child or and all children being taken away from their parents earlier Willie thinks that a
Deja may be too scared to come forward with what really happened to detrez and says I just hope my granddaughter
finds it in her heart to go tell somebody what happened he said he would like to see detrez properly buried in
the family plot the news several outlets try to contact the deja and Kevin in 2019 could not locate them
so they've they weren't Cooperative to begin with weren't giving statements to begin with and these years later they
seem to warn you right nothing to do with with the situation it's a such a sad sad
world because there's so many people that try really hard and have to take you know certain medications and and
different shots and hormones and stuff just to have a child and then other people
can have children so easily and yet they care so little and there are things right there's all this stuff that we've
put into place you know in most situations in Most states and most cities you can give up your child
you you can drop them off somewhere you can I mean I I know that sounds horrible to say but we've put these
things into place so that no harm comes to these kids that are not wanted and not taken care of yeah but
but what's worse though right if somebody said look I did I I try to take care of this kid and I just can't do it
I can't afford the kid I I maybe don't even care much about the kid let me give the kid over to the state I would
applaud that person so much more than these giant piles of [ __ ] that you don't
even look for your child and but you're looking for your phone of course phone means more to you than
your child had they dropped the Tres off somewhere or asked family to take him or
the state to take him or whatever he would have had a Fighting Chance right he would have had a shot at a life and
under their roof he did not and this is the result the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says that the reason
detrez is not listed with the national Center for missing and exploited children is because they do not have any
photograph of him to submit to the database and you and I captain spoke with Megan Good who maintains and
operates the Charlie project website and database and she told us the same thing
that she needs a photo of this missing person to include him in the database and God bless her and the good work that
she's doing and we presented this name to trez green out of left field you know pulled a name out of thin air when we
were talking with her in person at crimecon and immediately she says I mean the the
knowledge that she has of missing people is just amazing she says immediately she
goes is that the toddler that was missing and there's no photograph of him and the parents claim that a storm took
him and I'm like yes you you nailed it we picked the name at random and you nailed it
so bless her in the work that she's doing check out the Charlie project website now there is no doubt right no
doubt something happened to this little boy but it didn't happen that day during
a tornado echoing the statements of search and rescue experts and law enforcement there is just no way that
anyone can believe in my mind that a storm hit and it blew the treze off of the face of the map he would have been
located just like the many others were alive or otherwise so for everybody out there if you have any
information at all even a suspicion or a hint at something odd maybe you saw something maybe you saw this family out
somewhere when there were still five members of this family please please please report it to somebody because as
much as authorities need to find the remains of this little boy the victim of he's the victim of his despicable
parents in the meantime what they need to develop is a timeline a timeline of detrez's life no matter how short it was
because right now all we have and all we know is that something sometime between
the ages of six days old and two years in a couple of months old something happened to this little boy
and his parents Kevin and adasia covered it up and when this tornado hit they found the excuse they were looking for
and waiting for and they simply wiped their hands clean of detrez please someone contact the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation with whatever information you may have that's the gbi's regional office in Sylvester
