John Tanko, nicknamed Jersey, the handyman in the neighborhood with a long rap sheet, the ex-boyfriend of Megan Wright, the woman whose phone was called by the Irwins' stolen phone

the night their baby, little Lisa, went missing. And the guy who tantalizingly told attorney Cindy Short he just happened to find three cell phones and then tossed them somewhere around the time the baby went missing. You've heard his name again and again in this series. Everyone wants to hear from him and find out what he knows. Well, after 12 plus years, we found him. If you're watching, that's him in the red sweatshirt on the bike. We tracked him back to New Jersey, where he was arrested for shoplifting in 2022. Now that we know where he is, it's time to figure out the best way to get him to talk. Here's part of my strategy session with our go-to experts, Bill Stanton and Phil Houston.

So unbelievably, we found Jersey. After all this time, nobody could find him. Cindy Short found him, but the cops apparently didn't know where he was for some time. Jim Spellman, who's been doing yeoman's work on this case, couldn't find him. We found him, and now we got to decide what to do with him. So got to figure out what the approach should be. I'm perfectly happy to just go knock on his door and see what happens. Well, if you go knocking on his door, it's very easy just to not even answer or just slam it on your face. What I'm thinking about doing is luring him out.

And then you come between him and the door, which may give you that precious one line, that question that will hook him. And then he will want to stay outside. And then when he comes out, he doesn't even have to know we're together. I got your back. And then you confront him.

I just want to say that the way I would normally do this is I would go, I would ring the doorbell, and I would say, are you John? Hi, I'm Megyn Kelly, and I'm trying to investigate what happened to this poor missing baby. You know, a lot of allegations have been made about you. Will you talk to me? I'd love to give you the chance to answer some of the things that have been said about you. It's all in the approach.

You see, the way I'm proposing it, you get two bites of the apple. Megyn, if we want the outcome that we can actually get him to open up even a little bit, you and Bill need to stay together. And with you ringing the doorbell, Bill standing slightly behind you, if he's outside, then you approach him. Megan, you would approach him first. Bill would stay back. Bill needs to keep you within near arms reach distance. If we want to get information from him, we need his resistance at the lowest level possible. And I believe, Bill, you need to give her the highest level of safety and security possible. So can you describe that, Phil Phil? How would that look in your scenario?

I loved your introduction. Hi, I'm Megyn Kelly. I'd love to have a chat with you. Here's the reason I'd love to have a chat with you. We have been working on the disappearance disappearance of Lisa for over 10 years now. And as a result of that, we know a whole lot more than we've ever known to include the players that are involved. And that's why we're talking to you today. We want to get your side. I would not mention investigate or investigation. I wouldn't mention case, anything that has consequences associated with it. You just want to have a talk and a conversation. is, is it signals to that individual that everything that they have done to try and pull this off, to be successful, has failed. And that's when you would get in with the first question. What was your role in the disappearance? It's a presumptive question, a question you want to make sure if you can get in on camera is the question about the telephone. Is there any reason your fingerprints are on those telephones that went missing that night?

So, you know, this is a tried and true technique of Phil's. We've actually seen no evidence that Tanko's fingerprints are on any cell phones. You keep talking. John, you're a smart guy. You know that at some point this was going to come to this. You can help resolve this whole matter that has caused pain and anguish to the parents and to their family. We're not here to argue with you or call you names or anything. And what you're doing is you're limiting or minimizing the amount of questions because every time he answers a lie, your job gets twice as hard to get that admission. But if you could right off the bat can get him to listen to you, you've got a shot. We could talk all about the questions, but the first phase is getting him to stay. The further away getting him outside that front door gives her more time.

Time and distance give Megan options because unless we get that engagement, all of this is for naught. I understand, Bill, but I think you may have a chance to get him to open up a little bit. So Phil, psychologically at that moment, what are you trying to do? Build him up into thinking that you actually believe he could be helpful, that he's not an adversary or a target, but that we're all in on this together? Without trying to buddy up or cozy up to him. You don't want him to make a denial. Once they deny, that really makes your job difficult. And so when you see them start to make a denial,

what you want to do is say their name. Whether people realize it or not, one good way to interrupt a person, stop them from talking, is to say their name. It just instinctively, people shut up when they hear their name. It's a three-step process. You say, John, hang on. It's a control phrase. John, hang on for a minute, okay? And then I want to hear your side of it. And you've got your hand up is the third. So John, the control phrase and the hand up. And it's not in your face.

It's almost like a defensive gesture. Okay. Or trying to stop a denial because... Yes. Yes. Stop the denials at all costs costs no matter what happens throughout the the whole thing just keep saying john let's talk about the truth it's not easy i mean it i mean if it were easy you know we'd all we'd have a ton more confessions than we have but

but people do break and they break at moments for reasons we don't understand sometimes. This could be it. This could be the good. For the sake of just being taking the opposite tact, I'm going to be contrary on that. I think the last thing he's going to want to see is you, Megan. And I'm hoping he's going to get loud. And in his loud, he may say something stupid. If we can get one-tenth of what Phil's putting forth,

that's TV gold, because this man has never given an interview. So 30 seconds, two minutes, 10 minutes, an hour, you know, no one has ever been able to do this. I just don't see him changing now as we pull up to his home in the cul-de-sac no i i i you're gonna i'm gonna do something i've never i'm happily wrong you're absolutely wrong we do this all the time i will leave my shoe on Megan's camera and be happily wrong. I am not anticipating a full confession by any stretch. But if you got, for example, an acknowledgement that he had those phones and he did something with them and so forth. That's tantamount to a confession.

No, I get it. But it's all about the engagement. Does he take the hook or not? Bill. It's the opening 10 seconds. If Megan doesn't hook him in five to 10 seconds, then there's nothing. Bill, I talk to terrorists who are far, far more conditioned not to give up information. And they talk. They talk if you approach them in the right manner.

I feel like we're formulating a plan where I kind of like what Phil is saying. Like, well, we show up. We're kind of open about it. what Phil is saying. Like, well, we show up, we just, we're kind of open about it. We don't pop out with cameras. It's clearly you and me, Bill, walking to the door. You're close, but I'm like in the lead. And we asked to speak with him following, you know, loosely Phil's script. Yes. Now, what about Phil right at the top? When I asked my first question and he gives me the line that my lawyer told me not to talk about this. I'm not talking about this. And you have a very critical piece of information that will help this get resolved. I'm going to be wrestling with saying, would you mind if I bring my cameras in and we can have the same conversation?

Because I think that will shut it down. Now, I'd much rather have his agreement to doing it on camera. I understand why we have to do it with the undercover camera, and I think it's a good idea. But it'd be so much nicer if we could just have his agreement

to do it like this. That's your call. You'll know. You'll know. And listen, we got the hidden camera, be so much nicer if we could just have his agreement to do it like that's your call you'll know you'll know okay and listen we got the hidden camera so we got multiple options well i mean i think and i mean he's gone 12 years without getting caught on camera at all it's amazing how he's managed to dodge so i have zero expectation he's going to say yes i'll sit down in front of your camera yeah but it's there'll be a there'll be a zero expectation he's going to say, yes, I'll sit down in front of your camera. Yeah. But there'll be a point if he's talking to me where I'm going to at least try.

Yeah. That's how I would have done it if I were in your shoes. This scripting, this is what I and my colleagues have done for years and years and years. And it just works. It works often when nothing else does work. Wow. Well, if we manage to emerge with actually any sort of meaningful comment, nevermind confession, but meaningful comment from him on this, I mean, that'll be huge. Like I say, nobody's even seen the guy. You know, nobody else did. Nobody else has. Well, and honestly, just in all fairness, we want to go to him and give him the chance to confront these allegations that have been made. His name keeps coming up. We actually do want to hear what he has to say about all of this. This is his chance.

All right, let's get moving. All right. We got to go. And so on March 7th, 2024, I got rigged up with hidden cameras. I wore a shirt with a camera in one of the buttons and another hidden camera in a glasses case sticking out of my shirt pocket. New Jersey is a one party consent state, so we can record our conversation without obtaining Tanko's permission in case he declines a traditional on camera interview. The crew stayed in a van nearby, and Bill Stanton and I walked down his street. This is his house right here. The garage is open. He's in the backyard,

so face me. Don't turn around. Face me. He's just spotted us. There's chickens back there. He's doing his chores. He's not coming out no he's not coming out so if we want i'll just fucking call him over yeah i mean i think that's probably because he's now he's seen us right and he's not coming out i'm just gonna ask him if i can buy those chickens you'd be amazed look you want me to do that? No. You don't want me to come? No, because we don't want to use subterfuge, right? Like, I don't want to put him on the defensive right away, like, per Phil. I think we want to say, like, I think

I want to go over there and say, hey. Let's go to the fence and let's do it. Okay. We're committed. Okay. You want us to do initial talk or you want me to? I do. I will.

All right. John. Hi. How you doing? I'm Megan Kelly. How's it going? I'm good. Nice to see you.

I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly.

I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm Megan Kelly? I'm good. Nice to see you. What's going on here? Chickens? We have roosters. Awesome. We have two horses.

Two horses? Four dogs. You've got like a whole farm going on back here. Yeah. Um, thanks for talking to us. I've been working for 10 years on the baby Lisa case. A lot of people have. Yeah.

And it's been tireless for us. I mean, we're obsessed. You guys can't figure out how I came here. I know. You know, we know a lot now. We have come to an understanding of some basics, what happened and who was involved. And we are really hoping that you can help us, that you can help us fill out some of the story. We think it's really important to get your input. And I was wondering if you would talk to me.

I'd rather not because my lawyer told me not to talk to anybody. It could be a death penalty case. I don't want to have to sit in prison for five years and go to trial. You know, the thing is, the thing is, it's like Deborah and Jeremy have been, you know, tortured. I know. And so all we're trying to do is like sketch out the story and wondering if you can tell us what your involvement was in the disappearance of baby Lisa. I don't have any involvement.

That's what I'm saying. None whatsoever. Yeah, I mean, the FBI vacuum-dried the house. It's my DNA. You have a million skin cells that go like that. They're gonna bag it up and they're gonna DNA it to me. And I'd be charged with no doubt about it. What do you mean?

Their story is, well, Debra's story is that some random person came in the house and kicked out the kid. Right? Yeah. So now the FBI's involved. They vacuum bag bag the whole DNA was in there, like fr I'd be short. It wasn't i

talk to you? Yeah, they t ever take DNA? Yeah, they they like a saliva? He di you that you were cleared? They said I didn't have to, but I didn't anyway. Okay. And did they tell you you were cleared and you were good to go? No, they didn't say.

They still say it's an open case. Okay. I mean, what we're trying to do is help them because the way I see it is we're trying to provide them with closure. You can help us do that and with some comfort, you know, and just figuring out what the story is. This is big shot lawyer. No, he's not a lawyer. He's my friend.

This is Bill. Yeah, no. In another life, he's a lawyer. See, they do these stories and people just trash my name. They totally trash my name. You know what I mean? I was involved with a lot of illegal activity back then.

Sure. I mean, a lot of people get mixed up in drugs and understand that. What do you think should happen to the guy? What do you think should happen to the person if they had this? I don't know what happened. So, I mean, if it's a kidnapping or, God forget, a homicide, mother don't care what's sticking in those. Do you think that the person who took the baby, did it spur the moment or that it was planned?

I don't know. I don't know. You worked in the neighborhood that night, right? Not that night, but yeah, I was working in the neighborhood. General. So why would somebody have said they saw you outside of the Irwins' house that night? People lie a lot. And you didn't know the Irwins at all, Deborah and Jeremy?

I think, I'm not positive, but I think I met Deborah at a bar one time, a local bar. Okay, okay. It used to be called Bama's. And I know you know Megan Wright. Yeah. We've talked to her. Yeah. And you guys used to date, but did she have any involvement in this whole thing?

I would doubt it. Like, I don't know. But if the police are being honest about her getting a phone call from one of the Irwin's phones, then somebody connects, she's connected to her. That just kind of makes sense. Now, did you have those phones? Because we understand that you told a lawyer, Cindy Short, that you found those phones. I seemed to hear whatever she wanted me to hear.

I didn't tell her I found those phones. I said I found phones that night, but I didn't find them. No? Nothing? Oh. Why? Just because she's asked me a million questions, and I didn't want to make her happy, whatever. Mm-hmm. What do you think happened to those phones? Do you think the same person who has the baby has the phones?

I mean, we didn't know if the phones were missing. I don't know if that's found to be true. I have no clue. What did you hear about that? Anything? No. Did you ever hear anything about the phones and where they went or whether it was connected to the baby? No. Nothing?

No. Why do you think, because you knew the neighborhood a little bit, but certainly better than we do, why would somebody take a baby? You know what, the FBI asked me the same question. I'm like, only thing I can come up with is to sell it to maybe somebody that can't have kids.

You know, I mean, it sounds crazy, but I think that all of this, that's the best case scenario that could happen. That kid is 11, now 13, in a school, you know, has a rich family, you know, something like that. I mean, that's the best case scenario. Yeah. Well, what do you think? I mean, I know that there were a lot of people in the area who were on drugs, meth, and so on, and we heard a little bit of that from Megan.

Is there any chance somebody got messed up on drugs and did something to the baby? I don't know. I don't know. People, I don't see it happening. I believe that anything's possible. What do you think happened? You know what, I was thinking the Penrots have something to do with it because they hired all these lawyers, high-priced death penalty lawyers being um um

you know the story just don't salary she got drunk and fell asleep woke up and now Well, why would anybody say that they saw you outside of the Irwin's house that night? I don't know. I don't know where I was. You've never been in that house? Never. Never once? Never once. So, if your fingerprints are on those phones, what does that tell us?

What's it tell me? Yeah. Like why would your fingerprints be on those phones? I don't know why. I don't know, I'm just trying to figure it out. Okay, well, you're telling me this is fact, that, like, they get rich around the phone, but I don't believe it. Because I... I don't...

I don't believe I ever possessed a phone. Okay. And you heard that story. You mentioned that one of the phones called Megan Wright that night. Yeah. You believe that? I don't know. The police are on the line just because they want to have a direction to go on and use something as a way of, you know, getting the information that they want.

Yeah. Did she, one of the theories is that she really wanted a family, she wanted a kid. Yeah, that's totally not true. That's not true? No. She never said that to you. Why'd you guys break up? Why did you two break up?

Because I was scorned and on parole and I had a job to go do at the Watson's house. And she- Was that the one down the block? Yeah. She called the police, told her I was going to be working here. She called the police and told them you were going to be at the Watsons that night? Why?

That night. Oh. The night that we broke up. He dined you out? Yeah. So we broke up, and I never talked to her again after that. I don't know, four or five months might have went by from when the baby went missing. No, no, till we broke up, till the baby left.

No, bro. Never, ever talked to her again. You didn't, you didn't go to her house? I pulled up on the front lawn and the stolen van one time, but I didn't talk to her. Did you ever set anything on fire of hers or around her? No, the other investigator asked me that too. Said the car was on fire.

That wasn't you? No. So you got questioned by the cops and the FBI? Yeah. Separate? Yeah. Two separate? Yeah.

And they took your DNA? Yeah. And then how did it resolve? What did they say to you when it was all over? They didn't. Was it just two sit downs? One with the cop, one with the FBI? And then how did it resolve? What did they say to you when it was all over? They didn't. Was it just two sit-downs, one with the cop, one with the FBI? No, it was FBI and a homicide

interrogation room. Uh-huh. And, um, Chuck just came to see me, uh, actually to visit me in jail. That wa Yeah, it's pretty scary. me. You're thinking they' for possible kidnapping.

exploring all the families that one time yeah for a few hours or how long that's the i was a little over an hour okay maybe two okay what happened was not too long maybe an hour was it right after the baby went missing? No, because I was still on the run. Okay. So I have a couple other questions. I'm sorry to take up so much of your time, but do you know who Dane Greathouse is? Dane?

Yeah. I believe I met him a couple of times, maybe we got high together, I don't know. I already made up a rap song lyrics in it that said I'll make you disappear like baby Lisa. So I don't know, that was kind of weird. Is there any reason that you would have called Dane Greathouse on the night the baby went missing? No. Like I said, I only met him once or twice and um we weren't really friends and we just you know i hadn't

happened to have someone he happened to have something that was it okay what like we exchanged numbers or 12 after that or anything how about cody allnut? My name sounds familiar, but I can't put a face to it. Boris Dubinsky, do you know him? I can't put a face to it. I don't recognize the name. And I'm also wondering now, is there any way you've been very generous with your time? Can we do this with like,

can I bring a camera person over here and we can do this properly? Absolutely not. Okay. Because I'd love to get your side. And I hate, I hate being, what are they referring to me as? A link to this case.

I don't want no involvement, I'm not involved. Mm-hmm. When you do a show your viewers you're actually giving your viewers an option this this person doing this person do it this person do it this person you said i don't want to be learning personally i don't want some people to think i might have did that. I had a feeling involved in it. That's not me. Yeah. John, if I can, you seem like a straight-up guy. First time you're into that, I really appreciate it. Do you feel the open and willing to make a gesture to have a conversation with you? To? No. No. Like I said, I really don't want to be part of this. If there's, if she don't have some information I can give you, that you can, you know, just run with it,

maybe, uh, find out what happened. That's great. I don't want to be on TV. I don't want to do all that. Yeah. You got to respect that. Yeah. You have to.

Do you think taking her was planned, or do you think it was a spur of the moment thing? What's your guess? Like, cause you knew a lot of the players in the neighborhood, you know, like to me, it seems too sophisticated to have a baby be sold. You know, as a, like, who would be able to just steal a baby on the spur of the moment and then sell it? Well, you don't know how to steal a moment.

Maybe most people don't. I don't know. I mean, if I had got myself a ball, you know, I'd be able to tell you. How can Deborah have gotten rid of the baby's body without it being detected? You know, that's one of the things that keeps stumping me. Like if Debra killed the baby inadvertently or on purpose, I don't think most people think if she killed the baby, it was on purpose. Maybe she dropped the baby, maybe whatever. If she did that, she got rid of the body in a way that she fooled even

the cops. So how could that have way that she fooled even the cops. Yeah. So how could that have happened? Like, you knew the neighborhood. How could it have happened with anybody? Like, what was the backyard like? Do you know what, describe the area a little bit. No.

Around the Irwin's house. I don't know. I've never been there. But you were, I mean, a neighborhood handyman, right? Well, only for the Watson. Okay. He was older. His hands wouldn't work anymore

because he had arthritis. So he needed me to do something. He gave me a cloth. That night, did you work at the Watson's the night the baby went missing? No. You didn't turn on the sprinkler or off the sprinkler?

Doubt, those days before, I believe. He said once the grass started growing, I didn't have to do anything. Oh. He said, once you start growing, you got to keep growing. So if... Why would a neighbor say they saw you in that area?

I don't know. It's the third time he asked me. Okay. Sorry. I'm losing my own... I don't know. People lie. I don't know. Now I'm in the area, now at first you say it was on a little couch. Well, I'm asking you beyond because, you know, there's the one set of neighbors that say they saw somebody who matches your description, they didn't say you, with a But that night, like around midnight. You

remember that? I heard that there was a witness that. Oh, seeing somebody carrying a baby. I didn't get all that about fits my description type. See, this is this is, you know, it's just weird because it's like, like I said, it's going to put in people's minds that I could have possibly actually been killed. I don't deserve it. That's, I mean, and that's not us, you know, that there are witnesses in the case saying, you know, look at this guy, as you know. And that's, we have to look into that. And we're very open-minded to all the possibilities. I mean, I've said before, when I first went out there, when I arrived on scene in Kansas City, I thought 100% it was Deborah.

100%. That's what I thought. Over the years, you know, I've considered everybody. I consider you. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. To this moment, I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. To this moment, I don't know. But I definitely wanted to talk to you to get your, you're a lot closer to it than I am.

So you got better answers than I do. What were you doing that night? I was involved with a lot of interviews. You know, if I was to tell you that you'd go there, and I'm not going to be that person that sends you something. You're looking pretty healthy now. Organic eggs? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That's a pretty good setup. Yeah. So, okay, so you were not in the neighborhood that night. Okay. If anybody saw somebody looking like you, it wasn't you. Is there anyone you think we should talk to, or what can we do to help advance this? Any thoughts?

I have no clue. I have no clue. Can we talk for just one more minute about Cindy Short and that visit she paid you in the jail? Cindy Short? The in the jail? Yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah told us that you told her three phones and I told y but I wasn't, I wasn't be

even know why I said, may out. I don't know. I don' said she said she thought at one point you were like wrestling with maybe a confession she didn't say that you confessed anything that's not true i told him to tell her i had nothing to do with it it's like i'm telling me maybe i'm not fooling you i don't know anything does this case Mm-hmm. Does this case, I don't know, do you pay attention to it? Like when it hits the news, what does it bring up for you? You know what?

There was this story about the Earl's missing baby. And they went through all this. And it was an hour long. And then, I'm at the end, the very last person they speak about. You know, so it kind of made me feel like that the program was designed by somebody to make it appear that the story ends here, this guy. You see what I mean? Yep. And that bothered me greatly. It still bothers here with this guy. You see what I mean? Yep. That's what it is, and that bothered me greatly.

It still bothers me to this day. How do you, do you feel like it affects you with your neighbors and your life? I haven't talked to them, talked to them, I don't know about them, you know what I mean? If you Google my name, they find out. Yeah. That sucks, too.

That totally sucks. Let me ask you this. How do you want, like, what do you want my viewers, my audience to know about you and this case and the things that are being said about you? I don't have any involvement with the one. Zero. Never touched that baby?

Never saw that baby? Never saw it. Well, thank you for talking to us. I appreciate it. If you could tell them, be honest with you. I really am because, oh, honesty is the best policy, man. Look, I know you don't talk a lot, so I appreciate you letting me come on here and ask these questions. This whole shit fucks me up. I'm sure. It fucks me up. I'm sure.

It fucks me up. I'm sure. Not that I'm feeling guilty about anything, but just the fact that I feel I'm being put involved in something that I'm not involved in. Okay. All the best to you. Thank you. Say well. I hope you guys don't kick too much shit on me.

We're going to tell a story, and I'm going to tell them what you told me. They'll hear from you. Okay? Thank you. All right. You have a good day. You too. Well, that was interesting.

Wow. Now I got to eat my fucking chew. Oh, my God. Start with the tongue, Bill Stanton. That's what I recommend. Start there. Oh, he's got it. Delicious.

Okay. It's so good to have you guys here in this setting. I've been looking forward to this from the moment we walked off property there, Bill. And just so the audience knows, I have not spoken with Phil or Bill at all about this since the day I've even spoken to Phil at all. So I have no idea what he thought of the whole exchange. And yet we spent so much time preparing for it. So this is exciting. Bill, we walked out of there, we got into the van and really could not believe it. I think you and I were both like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, you know?

And then I asked him if he would sit down with our cameras. He said, no. But talk about your impressions, Bill. There was so much going on in my head for your safety and our safety. And then when he started talking and he was so relaxed. So this man, what I felt he was doing was trying to sell us and you weren't having any of it. I couldn't believe how much he talked. I really thought

at any second we're going to get kicked out of here. The fact that we were there that long is phenomenal to me. That was my least likely scenario to happen. And then, Phil, you're the human lie detector. What did you think? Megan, I thought that your interview with him was great. It elicited a lot of deceptive behavior. The overarching mistakes that he made primarily were his failure to deny definitively. I'm thrilled to hear you say deception detected because that's what I thought. I walked out of there and I was like, I've got more doubts about this guy than ever, but our whole team did not feel that way. And I just thought there were my own baby Phil lie detector abilities, right? Just because I've followed you for so long.

We're going off like crazy. I thought there were many indications of deception. He had too many explanations. And I remember asking you about Megan Wright. What would a truth teller sound like? And you said, I can't tell you that exactly, but there would have been a whole lot more. I didn't do it. You know, I didn't do it. So let's, let's play the first exchange that we had with Jersey, um, where he brings up the death penalty, which, you know, Bill and I were both like, Whoa, what, huh? Let's watch that. I was wondering if you would talk to

me. I'd rather not because my lawyer told me not to talk to anybody. It could be a death penalty case. I don't want to have to sit in prison for five years. You know, the thing is. You ask him a very difficult question, but in a very low key manner. And one of the reasons that he talked to you so much, I believe, is that you didn't give him a reason to dislike you. And he let his guard down some. And in doing so, he gave some lengthier responses than he needed to. And that's where the deceptive behavior

began to fold in. In this particular case, he said, I don't have any involvement. And he used the present tense. I don't have any involvement. That was his messaging throughout all of this. But in reality, the truthful person is going to focus on the crime itself and say, I didn't have any involvement in what happened that night. And it's the equivalent of saying, you know, where the truthful person says, I didn't do it, versus the deceptive person says, I wouldn't do it. He's trying to impress the latter message on you, but it's clearly deceptive. When he also said, that's what I'm saying, I didn't have any involvement or I don't have

any involvement, that's what I'm saying, that doesn't mean that isn't what it is, so to speak. In other words, he's not saying I wasn't involved, this is just what I'm saying at this particular point. So that one was a real key right off the bat that there's probably more lies to follow. Well, we did accurately predict that his first instinct would be to say, the lawyers aren't going to let me talk. You know, didn't foresee the death penalty line, but he did try that. And thankfully, thanks to your guidance, Phil, we shut it down, got him off of that sticky place.

And then I launched with the first Phil Houston question. And wondering if you can tell us what your involvement was in the disappearance of baby Lisa. That's what I'm saying. None whatsoever. The FBI vacuumed out the house. It's my DNA. You have a million skin cells. Go like that, they're going to bag it off. They're going to DNA it to me.

And I'd be charged. We got it done. In there, the deceptive behavior that really stood out was his immediate aggression against the FBI. And the truthful person who wouldn't be thinking, answering truthfully, is going to land me in prison for five years. You know, or just because this is a death penalty case. Wow. Okay, I got it. So whenever you say the truthful person would have said it this way, that helps because you do think about yourself wrongfully accused of being involved in something as awful as this. What involvement did you have? Yeah, you'd say none. And Megan, think about it.

He's saying they would find my DNA at the location. I mean, why would his DNA be at the location? They've never seen him there before. He's never said he was there before. But then he seemed, Bill, to be trying to say they would have found my DNA. If I'd been involved, they would have found that DNA. Because I was like, what? Right. I thought he was saying the same thing. And he seemed to try to clarify if I were guilty, the evidence of me having been there would have been all over the place. Well, maybe maybe it would have been found if, you know, half of Kansas City and mainstream media wasn't in and out. OK, but but back to Phil's point, I think, Phil, I mean, I don't want

to put the words in your mouth, but I feel like what you usually say in this circumstance, Phil, is the truthful person doesn't engage in convincing behavior. They don't need to say, they would have found my DNA. They would have found my fingerprints. They're just kind of like, I didn't do it. I don't have to convince Megyn Kelly otherwise. Yeah. He's using the convincing statements. And then you look at how he's standing on the ladder. He's trying to look very nonchalant up there. But in fact, he's very threatened by you and very intimidated internally by the questions you're asking, Megyn. But he doesn't really, you didn't give him an opening to, you know, criticize or accuse you or attack you. And that made it very, very difficult for him. Why, why was he up on the

ladder? Because the audience, the viewing audience will see, the listening audience needs to be told he didn't need to be up there. His work, of course, was paused while he was talking to me and to Bill, and he easily could have stepped down and come over to us or been face to face. So what did you make of his choice to stay elevated and on the ladder? If you recall, he was standing up in a straighter posture when you got there. He wasn't leaning on the ladder in that manner. And when you guys walked up, then he immediately leaned over and he hunched down. He was intimidated. He doesn't know who you are. He

doesn't know what your intentions are. So he's a little scared. And so that anchor point movement that we saw represented a spike in his anxiety. And he'd sit tight and just look like he's not threatened. And that's a thing you'll see in prison a lot. The key is people have to look and act as if they're not threatened by anything or anyone around them. And given his prison time, he's pretty good at that. The ladder is not only elevating him, but it's a barrier between him and me. There is that sort of defensive thing of it's in front of

me. I've got my arms around it. I'm safer behind this ladder. And we'll definitely get into why did he talk? Because that was our big debate before Bill and I went, is he going to? But I've got to get to the phones before we do that. So that was the one thing we discussed beforehand. If he would admit to us what he told Cindy Short, that he found allegedly the three phones on the night baby Lisa went missing, that would be a tantamount to an admission. Well, here's how that went in part. Now, did you have those phones? Because we we understand that you told a lawyer, Cindy Short, that you found those phones. I'm whatever she wanted me here. I didn't tell her I found those phones.

I said I found phones that night, but I didn't find them. No? Nothing? Oh. Why? Just because she's asking me a million questions, and I didn't want to make her happy, whatever. So the listening audience knows one of the things he did there, Phil, which you've called attention to in the past, it can be part of a cluster of deception, is hands above the midline. He started to move his hands, like, oh, she did this, she did this. And you've told me

in the past, and I know from your books by the lie, which everyone should read, when you're lying, the nervous energy has to shoot out of you somehow, whether it's your leg crossed and foot clicking, or you start to rock, but hands above the midline, touching your nose, touching your head, moving around, can be part of a deception cluster. So what did you make of the phone's answer? Exactly where you were going, Megan. Again, it represents a very significant spike in his anxiety level here. And it's interesting, why on earth would someone who's telling the truth need to admit that while they weren't didn't say they had taken the phones that were missing, but they found other phones on that that particular night by coincidence, so to speak?

Who in their right mind would do that if you're telling the truth? because, and what he recognizes is that by saying that he even had phones, that he did find phones that night is almost as equally incriminating as the fact that the phones, he had the phones that were missing. It's clearly one in the same. So that's what led him to say, in my opinion, what led him to say, oh, I was just lying to her at that particular time. I was surprised that immediately he knew who Cindy Short was and he knew about the phone conversation. He didn't stutter like, what? Huh? Oh, that was nonsense. If you think about it for that one moment, let's postulate that he is guilty. Let's assume, let's just for argument's sake say he's guilty.

Every breath, every moment is burned in his brain, right? And to me, this question of the phones is one of the most pivotal points made, because if he found that phone, right, if he had the phone, that tells us he was in the house. I mean, it tells me he was in the house and he called Megan Wright. And that's why he was going back and forth. Is it advantageous for me to say I found the phones or, oh he didn't want us going there. But but this like Phil, this was the most obvious lie, I would say, even to the casual observer without the Phil Houston training, because why would a guy sitting in jail talking to a lawyer make up a lie about having phones when he didn't have phones, quote, to make her happy. I think one of the reasons he might have been doing that as well is that between that night

and today or the day that you're interviewing him, he has probably told someone, one or two people, that he did find phones that night and then realized that when you ask him the question and, oh, I need to come up with a reason as to why I had phones or maybe someone saw him with phones that night. And that Megan Wright was dialed. Megan Wright's number was dialed. He had to make it, in my opinion, he had to make a story. Oh, I found the phones. And then he realized it's not his best interest to say he had, oh, I didn't have the phones. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

That was his weakest part because there were other moments where I thought, okay, you know what, he's doing better here. And one of those moments was when he tried to say he and Megan Wright broke up and he never saw her. And I said, you didn't stalk her at all, or however I phrased it, you didn't show up at her house. And he owned that one right away. I pulled up on the front lawn and the stolen van one time, but I didn't talk to her. So what was your reaction to that, Phil? Because he could have said, no, I never did. But he kind of owned her story of driving the truck onto her property and scaring her a little.

I think, Megan, what he's trying to do there, going back to the concept of convincing statements or persuasion behavior, what he's trying to do is he's trying to say, hey, if I did something wrong, I'm more than willing to step up and admit it. And often that convinces people who aren't really attuned to the behavior and the reality of the situation and they buy into it. And that's what he's hoping would happen here. I'll tell you what, Doug Brunt, my husband, he watched this whole thing and he had one big takeaway having watched Jersey. He said, you know who he reminds me of? He said he reminds me of this guy exactly. Frank Pantangeli from The Godfather when he testified before Congress on whether Michael Corleone was in fact the Godfather and a member of the crime family. And he had now had a change of heart before the, here it is. Watch. Tell me if this looks like Jersey. I don't know nothing about that. Do you deny the confession? And do you realize what will

happen as a result of your denial? Look, the FBI guys, they promised me a deal. So I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone because that's what they wanted. But it was all lies. It's the same sequencing of deceptive behavior that we just saw, almost identical to what we just saw with Tanko. It's amazing. Okay, so what's your takeaway now, having watched it, Phil?

When it wrapped up, having watched the 25 minutes, what did you walk away saying? There are signs of deception and? There's little doubt in my mind, in my opinion, that he is directly involved, if not unilaterally, the person that took the baby. That's strong. Not just from this interview, but it's from the history of the evolution of the case and the things that we learned about him over the years and the connections to others and the evidence that we heard about his activities that night, all of that collectively suggests in my mind that this is our guy.

So why did he talk to me, Phil? That was our big debate. That's why Bill had to eat his shoe because he said he's not going to talk. And you said he'll talk. It happens. And sure enough, he did talk. And the audience knows because they went through this with us, but he hasn't talked in all this time. As you know, I always go by my own

daughter. She's about to turn 13. That whole time, he's kept quiet. He's never made a public statement. He's never even been caught on camera in any meaningful way. So why did he talk? As I said before, Megan, you approached him in a non-threatening manner. It's very counterintuitive in these situations. In fact, when we train law enforcement, one of the hardest habits to break is taking that immediate intimidation or intimidating posture and voice and accusations and so forth. You did none of that. You came up in a very polite manner, very professional manner. And you said, listen, we'd like to talk to you as if you were, you know, giving him the option. Now, he didn't know you weren't really going to give him the option that you would probably continue, ask questions and so forth. But he was willing at that point to say, okay,

let me see where this goes. Right now, I'm up here on this ladder. I'm in a safe place. So what's the harm? And maybe I can gain some ground in the meantime. And because of what you ask him and how you ask them, it allowed you to gain ground. And he wasn't realizing that he had let his guard down. And he's now talking to you in narratives instead of one word answers or refusing to answer or whatever, he's thinking, OK, maybe I can, you know, pull off a fast one, you know, with this lady. And in retrospect, when you think about it, guys, we were literally in his backyard. He had the high ground. He felt safe. We were in his territory on in his yard while he was up. He felt he was in control. That's a good point. It was kind of ironic that he ended the exchange with

honesty is the best policy. Honesty is the best policy, like touting his own honesty, which is another tell, Phil, is it not? Oh, absolutely. It's one of the most used convincing statements there is. But the timing of when he did it was quite interesting to me. It was interesting because it suggests that he felt he played a good role here, that he really accomplished something in the manner in which he answered your questions. He was kind of, you know, being a peacock here and saying, hey, you know, I've been very honest with you. And in reality, he knows he's been anything but that. And then he followed it up with this thing has been effing my head up,

but I'm not guilty of anything. What did you make of that statement? It's again, truth in the lie, as many of these other statements that he made. He's saying something he's telling, that's truthful. It did mess up his head. But in, in reality, a truthful person, that's not going to happen. In other words, if they'd have gone, a truthful person 10 years later or 13 years later, is not going to be terrified and fear that they're going to go to jail or they're going to get the death penalty, whatever the case may be. Yet these are all these things that he's saying, and these are the things that are worrying him. And so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a day that goes by

that he thinks about that night. What did you make of, Phil, when he said, I said, why would somebody, do you think it happened spur of the moment? Do you think it was planned out? And he didn't bite there at all. He's like, I don't know. And then I rounded back again and he said, I don't know. And then he's like, you already asked me this. He did.

He was pretty firm on that one. Like, I don't know. And stop asking me that. That, I thought, he did, he was pretty firm on that one. Like, I don't know. And stop asking me that. That I thought was a point in his favor. Remember what we said earlier, how he said, I don't have any involvement. That is his agenda in his mind. And so when you ask him a question that is similar to that, now he's already got the answer framed out. And that's why it looks and sounds, you know, more truthful. I'll give you another example of that. At one point, you asked him, I think, about fingerprints or whatever on the phone, and he gave what on the surface would

appear to be a truthful answer. Why would your fingerprints be on those phones? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just trying to figure it out. Okay. Well, you're telling me this is fact that my kid gets rich on the phone. But I don't believe it. I don't believe I ever possessed a phone. I suspect by the end of the night,

his fingerprints were no longer on that phone. And he knows that and he's wiped them off. And so that's something that he can say, you know, truthfully. Yeah, with confidence, right. He challenged whether his fingerprints were on the phone. And the other thing he challenged with confidence was this. Why would a neighbor say they saw you in that area? I don't know.

It's the third time he asked me. Okay. Sorry. I'm going to lose my own. I don't know. It's the third time I asked them. Okay. Sorry. I'm losing my own... I don't know. People lie. I don't know. Yeah.

Now I'm in the area. Now at first, you said it was on our own house. You see? Well, I'm asking you beyond because, you know, there's the one set of neighbors

that say they saw somebody who matches your description. They didn't say you with a baby that night, like around midnight. Do you remember that? I heard that there was a witness that, oh, seen somebody carrying a baby.

I didn't get all that about, fits my description. So he did know, he knew facts about this investigation in a way that I thought was pretty telling as well. But that was a great example of deception. He didn't say I wasn't there. Oh, I failed to see the forest through the trees on that one. Oh, again, so that's the Phil Houston twist. The truth teller would have said,

I wasn't there. So she definitely did not see me. That's the fact that is the best ally for the truthful person. Tell the truth. And in his case, the truth has consequences associated with it. And that's what makes it difficult for him. Now, the advantage he has a little bit is he's been asked a lot of these questions over the years. And so he has some frame of reference. But what was different this time is somebody's talking to him in almost a kind way. You weren't judgmental of him. And that was really important.

So having watched Megan Wright and John Tanko talk about their relationship and their time together, what takeaways? If you assume for a moment that our assessment of John Tanko is correct, and then you look at what Megan is saying about him, she clearly is trying to distance herself from him. It appears likely, so much so that it appears likely to me that she knows what he's been up to and likely she knows what happened that night. And as a result, she doesn't want to go down if he is, you know, if Tanko is finally arrested, you know, uncovered or identified as the perpetrator and is arrested, then she would then become a co-conspirator.

And she realizes that. So she's trying to leave the impression in everyone's mind that she has nothing to do with him. And long before the baby went missing, she had nothing to do with him. And she's trying to create that image. That was by design. Well, when you ask Tanko any questions about Megan Wright, he becomes very protective of her. He immediately says, no, she's not involved and exonerates her. And I believe he's doing that

because he knows that she knows and knows what she knows. And as a result, he has no choice but to defend her. That's very interesting. She wasn't sounding that way about him, however. Like, I don't know what he's capable of. It was more her line. Yeah, yeah. He has no choice but to defend her.

She has other options. She isn't the person that actually did it. That's so interesting, Phil. Fascinating talking to you. Okay. Now we're going to bring in Jim Spellman. Very excited to have Jim Spellman with us, a reporter of CNN at the time this story broke, now independent. And Jim, you've been watching this whole thing. You've been watching the series. You've been working with us on this. What did you make of this exchange with John Tanko? Well, first off, I want to echo the kudos to you, Bill,

and your crew for getting this and going in there. That was not easy, and it definitely took guts and courage to do it. Well done. This struck me as somebody, remember, he didn't know you were recording him, who's scared that the next visitor is going to have a badge on them right after them. And he was working whatever he could to try to find out what you might know and then to feed back something that's going to make him look good. I mentioned this earlier in a previous interview, Megan, but I'm in recovery. I've used crystal meth, smoked crack

cocaine, et cetera. 23 years I've been clean last year. And I work on a near daily basis with addicts in recovery. And there's a kind of person who does nothing but lie. Even when there's no reason to lie, they lie. You ask him what color a blue car is, they'll say red. And this strikes me like that kind of person who just immediately is on the hustle, immediately is trying to weave something that's going to help him come out better at the end of the day. And with the phone question, this really has made me focus on the investigation back in Kansas City and by the FBI and why at this point they have not told us

why they moved on from John Tango, why they have not revealed all of the details about the phone. And I think when this show comes out, it will be negligent if the chief of police there, Stacey Graves, doesn't immediately appoint a new detective that was not involved to make this a high-profile cold case, release whatever information they can that doesn't jeopardize an investigation, and bring this into the public eye again. And I would include men offenses with

the family. I don't know who was responsible for that division, but it wasn't Lisa, and she deserves better than that. And this investigation should be immediately reopened in a vigorous way. Well said. I couldn't agree with what you just said more. And that's really our goal is to have somebody just take a fresh look at the case, fresh eyes, new eyes, take a look at the case. He told us for the first time there that he had not been cleared by law enforcement. That was an interesting admission. I think he didn't know that I believed he had been cleared. Otherwise, maybe he would have just gone with that.

But it's because I asked it in an open-ended way, like, were you cleared? And he said, no, no one ever told me that. I thought that was very interesting. And the police in Kansas City and the FBI on occasion told me they used the language they had moved on from John Tang. Never, of course, being absolute about it. But I think it's clear they have because look where he is, you know. And I mean, none of these people have faced any kind of serious, you know, investigation that they know after those initial weeks and months. Lives have just gone on. People's lives have gone on while the family and Lisa's are in suspended animation. Why else, Jim, would there be a 10-year gap between the last time the Kansas City police called Jeremy or Deborah and today? It's inexcusable. No matter what they did or what the police did, somebody's got to get over this,

right? And I think as part of reopening the case, the Kansas City police need to deal with the media, take their lumps, and get this case back out there. No one's going to come off looking great if they reopen this in a sort of more high profile way. But what other way is there to jog memories, to convince the community there in Kansas City that their children are being cared for, that they matter, than to start getting some of this stuff out there. One of the things I was really surprised to hear Deborah say was that they had taken hair from them to test for drugs. So if that's true and it was negative, then why would the police not release that at this point? Why not put out whatever can be put out there

that can close down avenues that people are discussing and maybe just somehow jog some other memory of somebody, you know, that may know somebody who knows somebody. Maybe it's not Tanko, but someone who is tangential to Tanko. Maybe not somebody who was in the house, but someone that was near and around the house that day. Somebody knows something. There has to be a nexus to this house to know there's a baby there, to know that Jeremy's

working that night. Something has to happen to change this. It's just unacceptable that it's up to people like you and people like Bill to be on this guy's lawn and not a much larger investigation. And you know what's really chilling is here we are all these years later, they've never found remains of any kind. And you know, if this were a murder, an intentional murder, an accidental death, let's face it, whoever did it of the characters we're talking about, you wouldn't think that these are, you know, sophisticated criminals who actually managed to avoid the police detection and then got rid of the body in a way that very few criminals are able to. Or it never got dug up by a dog, never came up if it had been put in the water, you know, like we saw with Lacey Peterson. Like this is the one criminal who managed in just that short window of time to conduct the perfect crime. No DNA, no fingerprints, no proof of any

kind, disposed of the body in the way that it never came back. So there is a real possibility, if you look at that, that she wasn't killed. We haven't really talked about it that much, but that she really wasn't killed and that she was either sold or given to somebody or showed up on the doorstep of a firehouse in some other town. That would make some more sense, given the absence of a body. And remember the investigation in those early days and weeks, the amount of searches of woods in that area, when the address came up, the area, the intersection, that Cindy Short says he reported that the phone grabbed, I immediately put that into Google and looked at images.

One of the very first live shots I did, the first weekend of this case, was a big search right there that included the National Guard and the FBI of that area. And all of those similar areas that kind of are, you know, around this neighborhood that have open woods or something were heavily searched in that kind of search that would find any type of remains or something. So I think that it's extremely unlikely that, you know, out in public, you know, woods or anything that, you know, there were any remains to be found within a, within a mile or two radius of the house. You're amazing. Thank you so much for the

great work you've done on this. You've been a highlight of every episode. It's been a pleasure. And Jim, that Jim, thank you. And, you know, sharing that, you know, once an addict, you're shown that it can be overcome and it is debilitating and you overcame it and you just add that much more character to everything you do. Thank you. Thanks, Bill. Yes, indeed, Jim. Thanks a ton. It's a pleasure to meet you. And that's the conclusion for now of our Megyn Kelly Investigates series. But it's not the end.

So we would love to hear from you. And from your questions and feedback, we will put together an episode six. Remember, we did this with the Idaho murders, and it worked out really well. And then we will bring you that episode in a couple of weeks. What do you think happened? What's your theory? What do you find persuasive? Who did you believe? Who did you not? And do you have any actual leads, especially if you live in the Kansas City area, or even if you don't, you might know one of the players. You might know something you want to share with us. Please send your thoughts to me. It's Megan, M-E-G-Y-N at megankelly.com. We will be reviewing all of your emails, just as we always do. And I thank you sincerely for joining us along this journey. We'll see you soon. If you're watching right now, please take a look at this picture of Lisa as she might look now. If you're listening, you can see the photo on YouTube or just go to megankelly.com.
