That little girl has only

been missing one night.

It's possible she's still okay.

These disappearances,

they're very different.

Your daughter was an infant,

this girl is a toddler.

Your baby was taken on impulse.

And this, this seems to be...

She is a three-year-old biracial child

with short, curly black hair.

Brittany Lyttle is, in fact,

a dead ringer for my daughter.

And maybe she wouldn't be

sitting here right now

if these girls were smarter.

Have they contacted you?

Have they threatened

your family in any way?

They've taken a child

thinking it's mine.

Why are you still sitting here

asking me questions?

Mrs. Barnes, we understand

your concerns.

And they'll be taken

very seriously.

I won't hold my breath.

Why didn't I know

about this connection?

What connection?

She wants it to be them,

doesn't mean it is.

Okay.

We're gonna follow it up?

Brother.

Dave!

Dave Fuller?

Why is it so obvious

you're cops?

I didn't know better,

I'd think you were

boosting merchandise

off that work truck.

Relax, we're not here

to bust your balls.

I wanna talk

to your daughter, Ronnie.

What did she do this time?

She didn't do nothin'.

Shut up.

You know where

we might find her?

She's working

at this bagel place.

Out by the mall?

Hi there. Can I help you

with something?

Ronnie Fuller?

Yeah?

I'm Detective Porter.

This is Detective Jones.

Is something wrong?

We'd like to ask you

a few questions.

Okay.

I'll meet you out front.

Okay.

Is everything all right?

She working on Monday?

Yeah.

She works every day.

When's her shift start?

It depends on the day.

Most of the time, midmorning.

Sh*t!

Humph.

- Looks like we got our first suspect.

- God damn it.

- Who is it?

- Metro Police!

- Helen Manning?

- Yeah.

I'm Detective Jones,

this is Detective Porter.

- May we come in?

- Why do you need to come in?

We're looking for your daughter.

Alice.

Alice Manning.

Well, Alice isn't here.

Alice?

Nope.

You have any idea where

we might find her?

She's 18, I don't always

know where she goes.

She's probably out walking.

- Walking?

- She walks a lot.

You just have her call us

when she gets in.

- Thank you very much.

- I will pass the message on.

Mrs. Manning...?

You know what time

she got back last night?

Late. We were supposed

to have dinner together,

but she showed up late.

Out walking?

Thank you for your time.

One-William-four-five.

10-3, it's Porter.

We checked in

with Ronnie Fuller's parents.

There's no sign of her since

she left for work this morning.

Thanks.

Okay.

Where were you?

Walking.

Two detectives

came by here today...

looking for you.

Alice, please... tell me you didn't
