JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL

Teen Acted Strangely Before Vanishing

Aired March 20, 2014 - 19:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST: Tonight, stunning new developments in the mysterious disappearance of a beautiful high school freshman.

Good evening. I`m Jane Velez-Mitchell. Thanks for joining me.

There she is. Fifteen-year-old Danielle Locklear went missing just over a week ago. The FBI is now leading the intense search to find her. Her aunt now says she was dropped off by a strange vehicle the day before she disappeared. She claims, oh, it was a school friend.

Here, you see video from Facebook of her dancing. She was so popular at school. In a moment, I`m going to speak with Danielle`s step- grandmother, who has a very close relationship with her. She noticed Danielle behaving strangely in the days before she vanished. What could that mean? Was the pretty popular teen keeping a secret when she suddenly disappeared?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROWNA FOWLER, DANIELLE`S MOTHER: If you please know where my daughter is, any information, please?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For 15-year-old Danielle Locklear has been missing a week now.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m really scared. Like, I want her to be found, and I`ve also prepared myself if she`s not.

R. FOWLER: I want my baby to come home. That`s my baby girl.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Danielle last seen Tuesday of last week after walking out of her home near Fayetteville, North Carolina. Her grandfather -- and she lives with her grandparents -- say Danielle told him, "Hey, I`m walking to a friend`s house up the street." Well, that was about 9:45 at night on a Tuesday. She never made it there.

Two days later, an alarming discovery: some of Danielle`s clothing found at a nearby creek where teens like to hang out.

And in another strange twist, Danielle all of a sudden went silent on social media in the weeks before her disappearance. That`s not something your average 15-year-old Facebooker is going to do.

Danielle`s mom says her daughter was happy and healthy. Popular at school, no reasons to run away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

R. FOWLER: Tell her to come home. Danielle, if you see this, come home, baby. I love you. I won`t be mad at you. Just come home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I`ll talk to Danielle`s step-grandma in a second. But first, KRLD reporter Joe Gomez, you`ve been digging on this case. What`s the latest?

JOE GOMEZ, REPORTER, KRLD: Jane, as the intense manhunt continues for this beautiful 15-year-old who has her whole life ahead of her, we understand that police have taken away the cell phones of both her mother and her aunt. What this could mean is that they`re trying to communicate with Danielle, if she has her phone on, via cell phone, via text message, something.

We also understand that there have been reports that subpoenas have been taken for the cell phones of her classmates and friends. We understand her boyfriend is cooperating with police, so hopefully, we can get something to tighten the circle in the search for young Danielle. Because it`s been over a week now since she`s been missing, Jane. And you and I both know that the longer time goes on, well, the worse it gets.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Exactly. And the FBI is involved. That says something right there. We`re going to analyze with our experts. What does it say? Danielle, a popular happy high school freshman.

Let`s take another look at the Facebook video she posted of herself dancing and goofing off with friends. And boy, she looks joyous.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

(MUSIC)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What a beautiful young lady, so happy on that video.

Phyllis Fowler, thank you for joining us. You`re the step-grandmother of this missing teenager. I know this is very difficult for you. And you are talking to us from North Carolina, the very state from which she vanished.

Why did you conclude that she was acting in an odd or different manner in the weeks before she vanished? Try to describe and explain it to us, Phyllis.

PHYLLIS FOWLER, STEP-GRANDMOTHER OF DANIELLE (via phone): Danielle has always been so personable, so just energetic and lively. And I had sent her an e-mail or a text, excuse me, telling her I was going to send her a package of some clothes that I had here and a few St. Patrick`s Day gifts that I had boughten [SIC] for her -- that I had bought for her.

And the way she responded was just so blase, almost like this was not my Danielle.

And I was talking to my son about it, and he said, "Mother" -- he said, "Do you remember, I told you that Danielle had" -- he had started to notice that Danielle had declined her posts on Facebook. I don`t have a clue what could be happening. Something -- something monumental has happened to cause Danielle to do this. This is not the Danielle we know and love.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, I could tell that you`re very distraught. And I certainly understand that. And what we`re doing, Phyllis, is to do everything we can to get the word out there. Somebody out there knows something, OK?

P. FOWLER: Yes, yes, they do.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And we`ve got experts standing by. I`d like you to stand by. Do not hang up, Phyllis. We`re going to dive deeper into this, and we want to come back to you for more information.

But you just heard it. She stopped posting on Facebook. What would cause Danielle, a typical 15-year-old, to stop posting on Facebook in the weeks before her disappearance?

Now, police say Danielle`s boyfriend is cooperating with the investigation. Remember, there`s no suspects here, all right? But you`ve got to wonder. Did something happen between them? He`s 18, according to some reports. She`s 15. Or could it be somebody else? Did she meet somebody online?

Now, her mother says Danielle is very popular at high school and that she would never run away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

R. FOWLER: No one knows what a mother -- what a mother goes through, what I feel in my heart. If you please know where my daughter is, any information, please tell her to come home. Danielle, if you see this, come home, baby, I love you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: While we`ve been working on this story, it`s been very challenging. We have not been able to reach Danielle`s mother or her aunt. And it turns out we know why. Investigators have confiscated the mom and the aunt`s cell phones. And then, as you`ve heard, ABC-11 has reported cops have subpoenaed the cell phones from Locklear`s classmates and friends, along with Locklear`s former boyfriend. I thought she was -- she had a boyfriend. Who`s involved here?

But first, I want to go to Wendy Patrick, sex crimes prosecutor. We`re putting together the pieces of this puzzle. What do you make of it?

WENDY PATRICK, SEX CRIMES PROSECUTOR: I`ll tell you what. The cell- phone evidence is huge, as you point out. I mean, teenagers live on social media.

It`s also huge for another reason, however. You know, the parents think they probably know a lot of Danielle`s friends. But unfortunately, what the cell phone has done is expanded a teen`s world to be friends with anybody, literally anywhere in the world.

It is also a social media playground for pedophiles, for predators, for someone looking for selfies, for someone looking for provocative screen names. Because let`s face it: it`s gotten to be a place where teenagers bare all, both figuratively and literally. Now this doesn`t appear to be the case with Danielle, but that doesn`t mean that she possibly met somebody online.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, first of all, Wendy Patrick, obviously, I would think that they have confiscated her -- not -- she took her cell phone with her, so apparently the cell phone is missing. But -- and I`ll throw this to Anna Young. The authorities had to have gone in, taken her computer and found out was she -- if not on Facebook, was she online in any other Web site? Was she communicating with anybody online?

ANNA YOUNG: That`s absolutely right, Jane. Only time will tell what the investigation surfaces and whether she was communicating with someone else or whether there was another relationship that we don`t know about.

I mean, I`m glad to know her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend is cooperating, because we all know that he`s probably the first person that the law-enforcement officers targeted.

But to say what Wendy Patrick was saying, it`s absolutely right. Social media now with teens trying to become popular and trying to get as many followers and likes, there`s so many different types of people out there, and so many creepers out there that you don`t know. Even if she didn`t know who was creeping on her...

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And Anna, let me jump in here and look at this missing picture. You know, in one, she looks like kind of a little girl with glasses. In the other she`s looking like a sexy young adult.

YOUNG: Right.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And even older than her 15 years.

Phyllis Fowler, again, the step-grandmother of the missing teen. You live in the same state. You`re close to her.

Is it a boyfriend or an ex-boyfriend? Because my understanding is she went with her 18-year-old boyfriend to your house, which is about 70 miles away where she lives with her grandparents over the holidays. He seemed like a nice kid, wants to join the marines. Do you have any word they broke up or is there another ex-boyfriend?

P. FOWLER: You`re exactly correct. I picked her up in Hope Mills and brought them to my house here. I took her to see some of their middle school friends. I grilled him thoroughly, like any good grandmother is supposed to. I asked him about his decisions for his futures and what were his contributing factor, contributing skills? What did he have that would make him a good Marine? I just really grilled him. And I picked up no bad vibes from him at all.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And let me jump in. They didn`t sleep in the same room or did they?

P. FOWLER: Oh, no. No, no, no, not at my house! No. Danielle always, the place she`s always slept since she`s been in my life would be on my sofa. She loves it. And he slept in our guest bedroom. No. My daughter is very...

VELEZ-MITCHELL: OK, so...

P. FOWLER: ... she got up the next morning and could assure us nothing went on.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Here`s another piece of the puzzle. Danielle`s friends describe her as bubbly and outgoing, and they are totally shocked by her sudden disappearance.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m really scared. I want her to be found but I`ve also prepared myself if she`s not.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Now Eric Guster, attorney out of New York City, we`ve heard reports saying Danielle might have been spotted on the night she disappeared or around the night she disappeared about five miles away from her grandmother`s house at Lazy Acres RV park in Fayetteville, North Carolina. And RV park can be very frightening. And then you match that with a strange car dropped her off the day before.

ERIC GUSTER, ATTORNEY: That`s very strange. And that`s why it`s so important for the police to get all the cell-phone records from her and the social media records from her friends, as well. Because that gives her core nucleus of friends and contacts for them to have a place to start.

Because it`s so important for them to narrow down what she -- who she was speaking with, what she was saying to them, if she was planning to get away, or if she was talking or trying to develop a relationship with someone, especially someone older who could influence her to go away with them. So it`s very important for them to do that, and it seems like they started in the right place.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: On the other side, what about her mother? She doesn`t live in the same state. Why is this girl living with her grandparents, and the dad is in yet another state? So many clues. Stay right there.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

R. FOWLER: I want my baby to come home. That`s my baby girl.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There are some feelings and heartbreak that words can`t explain.

R. FOWLER: No one knows what a mother -- a mother goes through. I feel like my heart is going to burst (ph).

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP )

CAPT. DAVID SERVIE, HOPE MILLS, NORTH CAROLINA, POLICE DEPARTMENT: We are not discounting anything. As I said before, we do not know where Danielle is at or anything like that. And that`s -- our focus is to find Danielle. And we`re exploring all possibilities.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Police are working hard, but they`re stumped. They held a news conference admitting they have no idea what happened to this popular teenager. Look at her. She`s playing with cards. She loves to dance. She`s good at school.

Danielle`s mom says two days after she vanished, some of their clothing were found on the bank of a creek less than a mile from her home. That is an ominous discovery. But the question is, was the clothing put there intentionally to throw investigators off? Listen to what missing children expert Marc Klaas said on this show just last night.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARC KLAAS, FOUNDER, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION: Her finding of the clothing at the creek, I think, probably is kind of a red flag. That`s a real anomaly.

Oftentimes in these kinds of cases, where family members are the ones or somebody inserts themselves in the search and they are the ones that come up with evidence, that evidence is put there for the purpose of misdirection.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And we have no evidence that the mother found the clothes. That was one report, but it has not been confirmed. All we know is the clothing belonged to this girl; was found at a creek where kids like to hang out, apparently, when they`re ditching school.

Brian Silber, to me, that is the most ominous fact that has been reported thus far.

BRIAN SILBER, ATTORNEY: Well, Jane, I think it depends on the type of clothing we`re talking about. You know, was this an undergarment or was it a sweater? You know, if I had a nickel for every time my girlfriend left her sweater somewhere, you know, I`d be a multi-multi-millionaire.

So I think it really depends. She could have just simply left her sweater there.

I think the best evidence in this case is going to come from the electronic evidence we were discussing before, you know, her computers, the cell phone. And most importantly, I would say, beyond the text messages and the e-mails, it`s the GPS data in her cell phone.

If you think of that Malaysian airplane flight that`s missing, a cell phone pings at different towers. And that could tell us where the cell phone last was. And I would think that would be the most important clue in this case

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And cops hopefully know that by now, although they`re not talking.

Let`s go out to the phone lines. Mary, Michigan, what do you have to say? Mary, Michigan.

CALLER: Hi, Jane.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Hi.

CALLER: I`m calling because I would like to make a statement on the young girl. First of all, do we know what kind of relationship at all she had at all with her mother?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, interesting you should mention that. I want to go to Selin Darkalstanian, our senior producer, who has been doing deep research on the family relationship. And we also have a map that show that her mom lives in one state. Her dad lives in another state. And the daughter herself lives in the third state, North Carolina. Selin, what have you learned?

SELIN DARKALSTANIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (via phone): Jane, I`ve been talking to her dad. Her dad lives in Florida. And, you know, he hasn`t -- he`s not very -- hasn`t been involved in her life. So he lives there. Her mom lives in Myrtle Beach. She lives in North Carolina.

Now I asked why does she live with her grandparents, not with her mother? And I was told, like every other, you know, teenager, her and her mom have their ups and downs in their relationship, and she would rather live with her grandparents. So she does live with her grandmother.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And by the way, this is a photo of her with her father, who again is in Florida.

DARKALSTANIAN: That is her dad.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Not connected to this case.

DARKALSTANIAN: And her grandma...

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Go ahead.

DARKALSTANIAN: Her grandma sells watermelons, and she helps out her aunt babysitting. And she makes a little bit of money here and there, living with that part of the family in North Carolina.

So that`s what we know about the family dynamics of Danielle.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: You`ve actually talked to the father?

DARKALSTANIAN: Yes. I spoke to the dad this morning. He is very concerned about his daughter, obviously. He was trying to get in touch with the cops. He did get in touch with them this morning, just letting -- helping them out, telling them anything he knew.

But he hadn`t spoken to her recently in the -- you know, in the week before she went missing. And he`s just trying to do everything he can to help on his end. But he was not in the state when she went missing.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: So I find that interesting. Phyllis Fowler, step- grandmother of the missing teen, you are very close to her. I would think it would be difficult for a teenager. No matter how nice your grandparents are, you`re living with Grandpa. Mom`s in one state. Dad is in Florida. When a child is -- first, had she expressed any upset about that?

P. FOWLER: None. Danielle is a very adaptable person. She can acclimate to her surroundings. And she was always so upbeat, always so happy. And I have never, since Danielle has been living with her grandmother, I`ve never heard her say, "I`m unhappy, Nana. You know, I want to move or anything." I never heard her say anything like that.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I want to go back to Wendy Patrick, sex crimes prosecutor. You hear -- we`re putting the pieces together.

OK. So she gets off Facebook, a month before, a weird, unusual, never-before-seen car drops her off. She claims it`s a friend. Her clothes turn up at a nearby creek after she goes off, supposedly to visit a friend at 9:45 at night right away. Sorry. I don`t know why a child is going off at 9:45 at night herself.

And the RV park she`s been spotted. What are some scenarios?

PATRICK: I`ll tell you what. One of the scenarios that all of these clues keep pointing to is that there was somebody involved in her life other than "the usual suspects," quote unquote. In other words, it just seems like, with the unusual car, with the decline in social media presence.

And by the way, one other thing social media really is nowadays. It`s confessional. It`s not just a place you go to connect with friends. It`s a place you tell what`s going on and what you`ve done.

You know, the big joke is if you`re lucky enough to have a child accept your Facebook friend request, that`s where parents are looking to see what their kids did over the weekend.

This decrease in activity, Jane, that is just huge. I mean, you wonder whether or not she met somebody that was jealous and wanted her to have less of a social media presence or whether it was some sort of an attempt to leave less clues. I mean, it`s heartbreaking for so many reasons. But that is one of the directions, having done -- you know, tried a lot of stalking cases. That is one of the directions that it could potentially be leading that maybe somebody else wanted her to have less of a social media presence for just this reason.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Unbelievable. And again, her clothing found at the nearby creek. So, that, to me, is ominous. And we`re just getting started. We have so many calls lined up. We will go back to Phyllis Fowler, the step grandmother who said she noticed odd behavior in the weeks leading up to her disappearance. What does it all mean? Stay right there.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

(MUSIC)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Newly obtained video of the missing 15-year-old, Danielle Locklear. And you can see just from that video one, she`s laughing at friends. She`s popular; she`s not a loner. Her mother, all her relatives say she`s extremely popular in high school. She has a lot of friends. She is a good student; she had no reason or shown any signs of running away.

But we`re learning of this fact, as well, that she had gone off social media in the weeks leading up to her disappearance and her own step- grandmother says she was acting strangely curt when she was normally very warm and fuzzy.

Joe Gomez, reporter, KRLD Dallas, you`ve been digging, what are you learning?

GOMEZ: Yes, morning, Jane. She was a bubbly person. She was a great student. Everybody loved Danielle Locklear. By all appearances, she looked like she was going to go off into the sunset and have a marvelous life.

So it`s bizarre that she would just suddenly disappear off of Facebook, that she would end all sorts of communication. Did she fall in love with some stranger? Did somebody come into her life? Was she so distracted enamored with this individual that she would just give everything up and vanish into the night? It`s a very strange scenario, Jane.

LAWSON: And I`ll tell you another thing, and I`ll throw this to Brian Silber or, actually, Anna Young and then we`ll get to Brian.

We have learned from relatives she was due to babysit a couple of days after she vanished -- she vanished on a Tuesday. She was due to babysit and was supposed to earn $200. For a teenager, for anybody, that`s real money. That`s another reason why I think it`s odd that she vanished.

That`s a lot of money for a teenager. This is really weird. She completely became withdrawn, this warm and fuzzy person is now responding with such lax and not really being involved in the family`s life.

I think maybe somebody got ahold of her and tried to control her, tried to control her presence on social media; does to recall what she was doing and maybe manipulated her. Because we don`t think there`s a reason for her to run away. But then again, we don`t know if she met someone and she just kept it from others and didn`t tell anyone about that.

I mean, clearly, she was withdrawn and what that leads me is that she maybe met someone she didn`t talk to people about, because this is odd behavior, Jane.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Brian Silber, criminal defense attorney out of Fort Lauderdale. They go on her computer, and even if she`s not on Facebook, they can quickly find out if she`s been communicating with anybody. even though they don`t presumably have her cell phone right now. The actual physical cell phone.

BRIAN SILBER, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: That`s correct. It`s actually very easy to do, and it`s something I`ve actually done investigating my own cases. Basically, they`ve got to issue a subpoena to the cell-phone company provider. And they get the actual data of that cell phone pinging back and forth through various towers throughout the area. You take that information and you put it on a map and you can track someone`s progress as they move about a very particular area.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Now Phyllis Fowler, the step-grandmother, I want to ask you again very quickly, any indication that she had broken up with her boyfriend, because that would also tend to indicate maybe she`d met someone else?

P. FOWLER: Danielle never shared that they had to me. She might have told my daughter, but she never shared with me that she and her boyfriend had broken up.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And when was the last time you talked to her?

P. FOWLER: I talked to her about a week before she went missing. And we were just -- I had texted her about doing well in school. And, you know, how to get good grades and things. And she e-mailed me back, cool.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Cool.

P. FOWLER: And then, the next time we talked, it was like a vague, different Danielle.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Unbelievable. Phyllis, my heart goes out to you and Danielle`s family. We`re going to stay on top of this. So many clues. And we`ll keep our viewers posted, as well.

HOPE MILLS, N.C. -

A search warrant filed at the Cumberland County courthouse shows someone reported an assault on missing 15-year-old Danielle Locklear from Hope Mills.

The warrant states that while Hope Mills Police were investigating Locklear’s disappearance, a witness reported that Locklear was with a male at a creek off Legion Road when the assault happened. The witness said Locklear refused to provide sexual favors to the male and other people at the creek. The witness said the male and others then assaulted the victim “with their hands and feet, also with a sharp object causing severe injury and possibly death.”

The warrant states the information from the witness was received at approximately 10 p.m on March 25. It was not immediately clear if the assault was alleged to be happening at that time or at a previous time.

Police search Cumberland County home for evidence in Locklear disappearance
Friday, April 04, 2014

Greg Barnes

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Hope Mills Police executed a search warrant Friday evening at a house in Cumberland County, near the Sampson County line.

Hope Mills police told ABC11 that they were looking for evidence in connection with the Danielle Locklear disappearance.

Officers worked well into the evening searching a home and lot along N.C. Highway 210 south, not far from where a body was found Wednesday.

Chopper 11 HD was over the home as nearly a dozen Cumberland County Sheriff's deputies, Hope Mills police, and a police tracking dog made an extensive search of the home, an outbuilding, and a lot. Officers would not say specifically what evidence they were looking for in the search, nor have they said who lives in the mobile home.

Timeline of Danielle Locklear case

Posted: Thursday, April 3, 2014 7:00 pm | Updated: 10:09 am, Fri Apr 4, 2014.

Timeline of the Danielle Locklear missing persons case:

MARCH 11: Danielle Locklear, a 15-year-old South View High School freshman, tells her grandfather she was going to a friend's house. She was staying at her grandparents' house in the Fox Meadow subdivision. She had left her purse, contact lens case and other belongings in the house; only a pair of boots were missing.

MARCH 13: Danielle's mother and others looking for her found the teenager's clothes along the banks of Little Rockfish Creek, a popular hangout for high schoolers. The family pleads for information about the missing girl. Police and sheriff's deputies comb neighboring streets off Legion Road.

MARCH 19: Authorities searched an area near a secluded campground where Danielle may have been last seen. It was near the last signal from Danielle's cell phone. The site is off Claude Lee Road near Interstate 95. Meanwhile, a task force of about 50 lawmen from Hope Mills, Fayetteville, Cumberland County, the State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are working the case. An FBI agent speaks with Danielle's teachers.

MARCH 20: The search moves to the wooded area near the Fox Meadow subdivision off Elk Road, where the teen lives.

MARCH 22: More than 300 people showed up for a Saturday search for Danielle. They focused on the wooded area near her neighborhood. One team descending the steep bluffs to Little Rockfish Creek, where the girl's clothing was found.

MARCH 27: Police say they're following up on all tips and continue to conduct interviews and follow up on leads, the chief says. Officers had set up checkpoints in Danielle's neighborhood to try to get additional information earlier in the week.

MARCH 29: More than 200 people gather to release 1,000 balloons and pledge support for Danielle's safe return. "Danielle, baby, if you see these balloons, come home," her mother, Rowna Fowler, said while fighting back tears. Police tell the family they have a few leads after receiving hundreds of tips, relatives said.

APRIL 1: The search has frustrated investigators, Hope Mills Police Chief Joel Acciardo says, but they continue to search for her. More than 500 tips and leads have come from the public, along with more than two dozen reported sightings from as far away as California and Mississippi. "None have been her," the chief says. "Nothing has panned out."

APRIL 2: A female's body is found in South River around 5:30 p.m. The river runs along the Cumberland-Sampson county line. Sampson County sheriff's deputies begin investigating.

APRIL 3: Sampson County authorities refer questions about the body to Hope Mills police, who tell Danielle's family that it's possible the body is Danielle. The state Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy.

Authorities: Locklear choked to death, then dumped in river

Posted 36 minutes ago
Updated 2 minutes ago

Fayetteville, N.C. — After choking Danielle Locklear to death and stuffing a sock in her mouth, Je'Michael Malloy and a friend tossed her body into the South River at the Cumberland-Sampson line, authorities said Tuesday night.

Je'Michael, 17, of Highway 210 South in Autryville, was Danielle's boyfriend and is now charged with second degree murder. His friend, Dominic Lock, 18, of the 1300 block of Cade Hill Avenue in Fayetteville, is charged with conspiracy. Both were arrested Tuesday.

The arrests end nearly a month of searching and speculation after Danielle, 15, disappeared on March 11 after leaving her grandparents’ home on Trencholm Lane in the Fox Meadow/Brook Ridge subdivisions to visit a friend. She never arrived, and her grandfather contacted police the following day.

Danielle's body was found in the river last Wednesday by an off-duty Cumberland County sheriff's deputy near the South Gray Street bridge near Autryville, along the Cumberland-Sampson line. Her physical description, along with the clothes she was last seen wearing, helped to identify her, authorities said.

to avoid harming, or murdering, someone, in a short time 9Xs out of 10
your calm again, and life goes on, now its going on behind bars, and in
this case your life, that just got going, has stalled for maybe 20-30 years

Je'Michael Malloy, 17, allegedly told investigators he killed his 15-year-old girlfriend, Danielle Locklear - whose body was found in a Hope Mills river on April 3. Malloy said he strangled the girl and watched his friend, 18-year-old Dominic Lock, stuff a sock in her throat before they dumped her body in the river, authorities said.

 Hope Mills Police Chief Joel Acciardo told reporters on Tuesday that Locklear went to Malloy’s home in Autryville — another small town outside Fayetteville — where the two got into a heated argument.

Malloy and Lock killed Locklear — a freshman at South View High School — during the spat, Acciardo said.

Investigators believe Lock put a sock in the teen’s throat before they hauled her body to the river.

The missing teen’s aunt, Chena Simmons, said the family was shocked to hear Malloy admitted to the grisly crime — because he was supporting the family during their search for the girl.

“That’s another thing that’s so devastating to us,” Simmons told WRAL-TV. “That he could just stand there with us, asking, ‘Is everything okay? Do you all feel okay?’”

Simmons said Malloy showed no signs of being violent.

“This young man goes to church with us,” she said. “He seemed like such a nice young man, and so it’s one of those things that’s unbelievable.”

Defense in Locklear case: We're not talking about a cold-hearted monster
Friday, April 11, 2014

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Children dealing with adult situations, and operating with juvenile minds.

That's how the defense for a Cumberland County teen describes what led 17-year-old Je'Michael Malloy to killing his young ex-girlfriend, 15-year-old Danielle Locklear.

"All we ask is for the public to remember is that you're talking about a 15-year-old victim and a 17-year-old defendant," said Fayetteville defense attorney D.W. Bray. "And we know 15-year-old kids don't make wise decisions, and neither do 17-year-old boys, and that what he is-a boy."

Earlier in the week, Malloy admitted to choking Locklear to death, then enlisting the help of a friend and classmate to dump the girl's body in the South River. That friend, 18-year-old Dominic Lock, was initially charged with conspiracy, but a day later faced second-degree murder charges along with Malloy.

The two are Cape Fear High School seniors. Locklear was a freshman at South View High School.

Wednesday evening, Lock posted a $100,000 bond. Efforts to reach out to him have been unsuccessful. Bray said he's advised Malloy to stay in jail, partly to "purge," and partly to separate from a community passionate about the high profile case.

 ::snipping3::

Bray said Malloy is a well-mannered teen who enjoyed fishing and hunting. He said he never had a violent history or a juvenile record. He was set to enlist in the Marines after graduation.

"We're not talking about a cold-hearted monster," he said. "We're talking about a very decent young man."

"I think it's important to note that Je'Michael came forward to law enforcement," added Bray. "This was lying heavily on his heart, and not only did he want to provide closure for Danielle's family, he wanted to provide closure for himself."

When asked why it took Malloy three weeks to confess, after he'd liked a Facebook page to "Help Find Danielle Locklear," and after he attended a memorial balloon release for the girl, Bray boiled it down to juvenile emotions.

"And well, that's a very reasonable question but again, we're talking about a 17 year old and a 17 year old with that stressful and heavy-some of a burden, it's not unreasonable to be silent."

"Lost in this--we don't want the focus to just be on the defendant or Danielle," he continued. "I think after all the facts come out in this case, this may be a learning experience for many young people in the community."

Locklear's family declined to immediately respond to Bray's comments, instead they say they'll do it as a large family unit, but they fiercely disagree with the attorney's thoughts.

Meanwhile, more than 14,000 supporters on the "Justice for Danielle Locklear" page are encouraging people to write Cumberland County District Attorney Billy West, and push him to seek first degree murder charges in the case. Sources close to the case maintain Malloy made prior threats to Locklear that would satisfy pre-meditation.

oh now I understand . . . it's Danielle's who is to blame for choking herself and then thrusting herself off the bridge with cement blocks tied to her own body.  What a POS this lawyer is if he really thinks she is to blame.

Malloy sounds pretty much like a cold-hearted monster to me.  It's not everyone that can put their hands around the throat of another person and choke them to death.  By putting his hands on her neck and squeezing the life out of her isn't a quick death.   ::MonkeyNoNo::  And putting cement blocks on her feet to weigh her down and dumping her in the river is cold-hearted and monstrous.  And then there's the bit about there being enough evidence to indicate this was pre-meditated.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

What really irked me was how the attorney tried to frame the young ages of both the victim and the "defendant" and that they don't always make wise choices.  Excuse me.  Since when is the premeditated act of choking a young girl until she dies and weighting down and dumping her body an unwise choice? An unwise choice would be like dying your hair green  or staying out past curfew.  Those are unwise choices.  What he did was  a premeditated, murderous act and clean up, isn't it?  This is such a heinous crime, all the attorney can do is try to minimize it, not only by grouping the victim in with the age thing, but also that she may not make good choices too.  That door swings both ways.  There are some 17 year old boys that not only attend school, but also help care for their younger siblings or aging/disabled parents, but also work jobs after school and on weekends.  It's a real minority of 17 year olds that choke young women to death.  JMHO

Danielle Locklear's ex-boyfriend indicted for first-degree murder
JeMichael Malloy in court
WTVD

Updated 1 hr 8 mins ago

HOPE MILLS (WTVD) --
A grand jury has indicted a Cumberland County man in the 2014 death of Hope Mills teen, Danielle Locklear.

Je'Michael Malloy, 19, is now facing a first-degree murder charge in the death of his ex-girlfriend. The indictment was handed down earlier this week.

In April 2014, Malloy confessed to killing Locklear soon after the 15-year-old's body was discovered in the South River.

The murder took place in March 2014. Malloy and his friend, then 18-year-old Dominic Lock, originally faced second-degree murder charges in the case.

Lock, who is accused of helping to discard Locklear's body, pleaded guilty to a first-degree murder accessory charge earlier last month, which carries a maximum of eight years in prison.

Cumberland County District Attorney Billy West said Lock would not be sentenced until Malloy's case is resolved.

In court last month, the D.A.'s office mentioned threatening text messages sent from Malloy to Locklear in the hours leading up to her murder. The evidence cements the legal ground for proving intent, which would support the first-degree murder charge.

Malloy, who has remained in jail since his 2014 confession, is still in the Cumberland County Detention under a $500,000 bond.

Danielle Locklear's killer apologizes to teen's family, gets 25 years
By Greg Barnes Staff writer Updated 59 min ago

An Autryville man will spend between 25 and 31 years in prison for the 2014 murder of 15-year-old Danielle Locklear.

The sentence for Je’Michael Devanair Malloy, 19, followed his acceptance of a plea agreement Friday in Cumberland County Superior Court. Under the agreement, Malloy, who was 17 when he murdered Locklear, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Malloy and his mother apologized to Locklear’s family, who wore pink ribbons and filled one side of the courtroom. Many family members told Malloy they may forgive him one day, but no time soon. Many expressed anger toward him, and many cried as they sat in the benches.

“I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me right now,” said Locklear’s mother, Rowna Fowler, as she stared straight at Malloy. “That was the only baby I had. I can’t have any more children and you took that away from me. Je’Michael, you ripped out my soul.”

District Attorney Billy West laid out details of the case:

Locklear left her home about 9:45 p.m. on March 11, 2014, telling her grandfather she was taking a book to a friend and would return soon.

Instead, she went to meet Malloy, her estranged boyfriend. The two had argued sometime earlier, after Locklear told Malloy she was pregnant and he threatened to kill her if she came over. (Locklear was not pregnant.)

On March 15, an aunt found Locklear’s fuzzy black and gray sock on a path in Hope Mills that led to Rockfish Creek.

Three days later, Malloy took a polygraph test that “showed exceptions.” He continued to deny any involvement in Locklear’s disappearance.

On March 22, Malloy participated in an unsuccessful search for Locklear’s body, which was found April 2 in the South River, off Hollow Bridge Road near Autryville. Locklear’s body had been thrown off a bridge. Cinder blocks had been tied to her ankles and around her waist.

Malloy confessed to the murder on April 8, after consulting with his lawyer, D.J. Bray.

The state Medical Examiner’s Office ruled asphyxiation as the cause of death. West said Malloy strangled Locklear on the path in Hope Mills and later stuffed a sock in her mouth when he heard sounds coming from her. His friend, Dominic Tayvon Lock, stood nearby but did not participate in the murder.

But West said Lock helped dispose of the body. Lock, 19, of Cade Hill Avenue, is charged with accessory after the fact of first-degree murder and is being held in the Cumberland County jail without bail.

During the hearing, Malloy and his mother apologized to Locklear’s family.

“I know sorry doesn’t cut it, but I also want to say I’m truly sorry,” Malloy said, turning to face the family in his orange, jail-issued jumpsuit.

Malloy’s mother thanked family members for showing mercy — they could have sought a drawn-out trial and a potentially harsher sentence — but agreed to the plea.

“You did not have to do it, but you let love in your heart. Deep love,” Cynthia Malloy told the family.

The family was not forgiving.

Locklear’s mother, Fowler, stood shaking as she addressed Malloy.

“You’re still alive but my baby is not,” Fowler told him. “She’s in the grave. I pray for your soul.”

Judge Jim Ammons allowed family member after family to speak to Malloy and to talk about Locklear, who had been a ninth-grader at South View High School.

Locklear’s aunt, Chena Simmons, called Malloy a sociopath and a narcissist who shows no emotion.

“You didn’t have to kill her. You could have walked away,” Simmons said. “At least today we can begin to find some solace and begin to heal.”

Prosecutors offered Malloy a plea deal in March. He was given 30 days to accept or reject the offer. Under that deal, Malloy would have pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and been sentenced to between 25 years and life in prison. He would have been eligible for parole after 25 years because he was under 18 at the time of the murder.

Sometime after the March hearing, prosecutors changed the offer to second-degree murder.
