What Video Evidence Do Police Get From Neighbors?? #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

They start knocking on doors of other neighbors to ask if anyone had any information or security footage. And oh
boy does this pay off. Police obtain video from two different houses that are on the road that goes above the
landslide. And one of them, which actually [music] you can see here, that shows Patrick's Land Rover followed
by Mon'nique's Jeep driving up the road, one right after the other on April 12th
at 3:31 a.m. It is the exact route and timestamps as the cell phone data. Now, the other video shows John Reed's red
truck taking the same route nearly 6 hours later at 9:21 a.m. And sticking out of the back of his truck is that 4x4
wooden post. Detective Fontineau told our reporter Emily Mure that at least for him, these videos were the evidence
that changed everything. I mean, in his words, from that moment forward, the hunt for Jon and Tony Reed was quote on
like Donkey Kong is what he told her. Now they have enough to serve search warrants at John's house or his former
property. And even more physical evidence is found there. Shell casings, plastic sheeting, a camo tarp, guns,
more 4x4 posts, zip ties in the closet. I mean, there's blood in the bathtub. And that's just evidence that was
collected from inside. by his garage. They find a trash barrel that is full of clothes, not burnt, just soaking in
diesel fuel. And they find not one but two secret underground bunkers. >> Um, I think the only thing worse than
finding one secret underground bunker >> is a second one >> is finding two secret underground
bunkers. And listen, he said that like each time they were like stumbling across these because like they weren't
expecting to find them, >> they're literally thinking like, "Oh my god, we're going to find Patrick and
Mon'nique [music] either like tied up and bleeding and injured or worse." >> But just like the cars, both of the
bunkers are empty.
