    Good evening, America, this is ‘Eye on America’ and I’m Charlotte Hope.
    Tonight a shocker out of Orlando, Florida. A young mother sits in prison for her failure to tell the authorities where her two-year old daughter is. Friends, this is one for the books, and I would tell you for the comic books, but this is no comedy - a child is missing! Where is precious little Deeley Brown? In fact we are only amongst a few asking this question.
    Here is what we know so far. The missing baby’s mother is behind bars waiting to be seen by a team of psychiatrists, who I’m sure are going to walk out of the examination scratch ing their heads and asking what? Authorities who just forty-eight hours ago received a panicked nine-one-one call from Baby Deeley’s grandma are saying Mommy told them a pack of lies and also said that Baby Deeley has been missing for thirty-one days … thirty one days, America!
    Let’s li sten to the nine-one-one call. Start the voice clip:

    Dispatch 911:
    W hat’s your emergency?

    Female voice:
    Hello, hello, can you hear me?

    Dispatch 911:
    Yes, Ma’am, what’s your emergency?

    Female voice:
    My daughter just told me my granddaughter has been kidnapp ed. She’s been gone for a month. She could be anywhere by now, even Canada. Her mother … she’s been missing …

    Dispatch 911:
    Your daughter said the baby is where?

    Female voice:
    I don’t know where … that’s why I called you! She said the babysitter kidnapped my granddaughter. He’s a Mexican. Maybe they are in Mexico by now.

    Dispatch 911:
    Yes , Ma’am, you say the child has been gone for a month?

    Female voice:
    Yes , that’s the situation here … now can I tell you what’s going on?”

    Dispatch 911:
    Please go ahead , Ma’am.

    Female voice:
    Okay, a month ago my daughter left my granddaughter with some man, a man babysitter if you can believe this , and he took her, and my daughter has been conducting her own investigation into the disappearance. She hasn’t been home for a month because she’s been on this covert search, see, and she just surfaced today because she needs further assistance. I’m a little worried, though, because I found my daughter’s car today before my daughter showed up, and it smells like there’s been something dead in the car.

    Dispatch 911:
    What is the child’s name, Ma’am?

    Female voice:
    Deeley Margaret Brown.

    Dispatch 911:
    Is Deeley Caucasian, Hispanic or Black?

    Female voice:
    Oh my God, she’s white.

    Dispatch 911:
    And she has been missing since …?

    Female voice:
    Well , I haven’t seen her for six weeks. Hey, hey, Keith, there you are … listen , your daughter has lost Deeley.

    Male voice in background :
    What?

    Dispatcher 911:
    Ma’am, Ma’am, are you there?

    Female voice:
    Yes , I’m here. I’m talking to my husband.

    Male voice in background:
    What?

    Dispatcher 911:
    Ma’am, Ma’am, could you please … I’m sorry … could you put your daughter on the phone? I need to try and get this story straight.

    Female voice:
    We need someone out here.

    Dispatcher 911:
    Is your daughter there?

    Female voice:
    I said she was !

    Dispatcher 911:
    I need to speak with your daughter, Ma’am. Can I speak with her , please?

    Female voice:
    I called two hours ago to report my daughter’s car stunk and you didn’t come then and … What, Keith? Oh yeah, well, Denise said this Manny guy, Manuel, took her a month ago and Denise’s been undercover.

    Dispatcher 911:
    Ma’am, please!

    Female voice:
    Denise, they want to talk to you. No, I don’t know why and I’m getting real upset … Here , you talk to him.

    Female voice, presumed to be missing baby’s mother:
    Yeah, hello.

    Dispatch 911:
    Hello. Are you the mother of the missing child?

    Female voice:
    Yeah.

    Dispatch 911:
    Can you explain to me what is going on over there?

    Female voice:
    Yeah, my daughter’s been gone for thirty-one days.

    Dispatch 911:
    And do you have any idea who might have her?

    Female voice:
    Well sure I do. God, I’ve been trying to call and find her and stuff. I just got a call from her yesterday, matter of fact.

    Dispatch 911:
    Who has her? W hat is their name?

    Female voice:
    It ’s Manny - Manuel Ortiz Noriega Hussein - but he dropped the Hussein part.

    Dispatch 911:
    Uhm … who is that, her babysitter?

    Female voice:
    Yeah, he’s been my nanny, my Manny , for about a year now, maybe
