"Yes."
"What can I do for you?"
"We'd like to speak with her about a matter, what is your relationship with her?"
"I am her father."
"And your na is?"
"Clent Haney."
"Mr. Haney, is your daughter, Tayana Haney, at ho?"
"Uh... Tayana went to a friend's house."
"Will she be coming ho tonight?"
"No, she might stay over at her friend's house."
"Tayana Haney experienced a kidnapping back in June, aren't you worried about her staying alone at her friend's house?"
"Uh... she's safe, there's no danger. You don't need to worry.
If there's nothing else, please leave."
"Where is she? We would like to have a chat with her."
"If it's about her previous disappearance, there's nothing to talk about, bringing it up again would just upset her.
I hope she can forget about it and start a new life."
Luke said, "From what you're implying, it seems so unpleasant things happened to Tayana Haney during her disappearance, right?"
"It's just a child throwing a tantrum and running away from ho, nothing serious."
"We've found so new evidence, Tayana Haney's disappearance isn't simple, she might have encountered so trouble."
Clent Haney shook his head, "It's all in the past, I'm only concerned about her safety now.
She's fine at the mont, and that's what matters most."
"As far as I know, she took a sick leave today, where is she?" This wasn't the first ti Luke had asked, but Haney kept avoiding the question.
Clent Haney sighed, "My daughter's not in a good mood and has gone out with a friend to clear her head, she won't be back for a few days, you won't be able to see her for now."
Luke asked, "I need her friend's contact information."
Clent Haney said, "Why? Even if you are police officers, you can't just barge into my ho.
We've withdrawn the case, we are Tayana Haney's guardians, and the ones who care about her most, you don't need to ddle."
Luke countered, "Does your wife share the sa view?"
Mrs. Haney ca out as well, "Officer, my husband is right, my daughter is safe now, there's no need for you to worry, please leave."
"We're here not only because of your daughter's kidnapping case but also due to another case, I need to show you so evidence, may we talk inside?"
Clent Haney hesitated, "Can I refuse?"
"If you don't cooperate, we will have to find Tayana Haney by ourselves and ensure her safety."
"OK, co in then, I'd like to know what evidence you have."
Luke entered the house with Jackson, while Jenny and Little Black kept watch outside.
Once inside, the little girl went upstairs, and Luke took out a tablet computer and started playing a lewd video of Tayana Haney.
The couple's attitude was strange; unless they were shown sothing significant, it seed they wouldn't tell the truth.
After the video was played, both of them looked extrely uneasy.
Clent Haney pointed at the video, "Is this my daughter?"
Luke didn't answer, believing Clent Haney should recognize her more clearly than he did.
Mrs. Haney showed a look of disbelief, "My God, how could this happen, why would my daughter film such a video.
I can hardly believe it!
That beast dared to do this to my daughter..."
Luke turned off the video, "This is the reason we're looking for Tayana Haney.
I'll ask again, where is she?"
Clent Haney asked, "When was this video taken?"
"That's a question for Tayana Haney, she would know best."
Mrs. Haney choked up, "I thought she had only gone missing for a few days, why did this happen...
My baby, she's still so young, why did she have to go through this..."
Luke asked, "You've never seen this video before?"
Mrs. Haney beca agitated, "We had no idea about this, Tayana never told us."
"Where is Tayana Haney now?"
"Ever since the last disappearance, my daughter has often been depressed, which is why I arranged a leave of absence for her.
She wanted to get away into nature to relax, but my husband and I didn't have the ti, so... our neighbor Mr. Toure took her to unwind."
"What's Mr. Toure's full na?"
"Franco Toure."
"Where did they go to unwind?"
"Outdoors."
"How did they get there?"
"Mr. Toure has a motorho; they went in his motorho."
Jackson furrowed his brows and interjected, "You actually let a man take your daughter away? Aren't you worried about her safety?"
Mrs. Haney replied, "Mr. Toure is a good man, he won't hurt Tayana, and it's not the first ti.
Tayana always cos back fine and really likes Mr. Toure, they get along very well."
Luke inquired, "What about the last ti Tayana Haney went missing? Was she also taken by Franco Toure?"
Mrs. Haney answered, "No, Tayana ran away on her own last ti. I mobilized everyone around to look for her, and it was Mr. Toure who found her and brought her ho.
That's why we trust him so much."
