>>> I AM CELIA CARROLL.

AND THIS IS VERY ENGINE ISLANDS CASE FILES.

A STORY OF COKIE´S VICTIMS TO GET YOU, THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

THIS MARKS THE 23 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OUR FIRST CASE .

EIGHT, WHO WAS MISSING MONTHS BEFORE HIS REMAINS WERE FOUND ON A BEACH ON JUNE 12, 2000.

HERE IS THE STORY OF MARIO.

>> MARIO IS MY DAD.

I´M THE SECOND OF EIGHT CHILDREN.

HE HAD THIS THING WHERE HE DID NOT WANT PEOPLE TO --WHENEVER WE SEE HIM --EVEN WHEN I HAVE MY FIRST SUN.

MY GRANDPARENTS LIVED NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

MY MOM AND MY DAD FROM FIVE HAD THE FIRST ONE OF MY SIBLINGS WHEN MY BROTHER WAS 16.

YOU CAN IMAGINE THEY WERE VERY YOUNG.

THEY CAME TO NEW YORK AND TRY TO CREATE A LIFE FAIR.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THEY GOT MARRIED.

I GUESS THAT IN MATURE PERSONALITY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE AT THAT AGE WAS WHAT WE LOVE THE MOST.

HE WAS JUST A VERY FUN, ENERGETIC , LET US DRIVE AROUND, LET US PLAY.

JUST A REALLY GOOD PERSON.

A REALLY GOOD DAD.

THEY LIVED IN NEW YORK FOR SOME TIME AND THEN THEY MOVED BACK BECAUSE MY DAD GOT A JOB IN MARIETTA.

AS IT IS WITH THE OTHER SIBLINGS, THERE IS JUST A HUGE GAP BETWEEN MY DAD AND MY MOM THE KIDS COMING THEREAFTER.

HE WAS AT EVERY HORSE RACE.

HE MEANT DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

THE COMMON THEME FROM EVERYONE THAT SPEAKS ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE WAS CARING.

HE WAS GIVING.

HE WAS JUST A NATURALLY CARING AND CONCERNED PERSON.

AT THE END OF 1999 , WENT BACK HOME TO ST. CROIX.

I HAD MY SON AND HE WAS BEING A GRANDPA.

HIM AND I JUST GETTING TO LOVE EACH OTHER AND BEING PRESENT WITH EACH OTHER AGAIN.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN A JOB AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HE WOULD EAT LUNCH WITH ME AND TRY TO GET ME TO BE COMFORTABLE BEING THERE AND ENCOURAGE ME.

MOST OF THE TIME WHICH IS SPENT REKINDLING BEING PRESENT WITH EACH OTHER.

I REMEMBER I HAD JUST REPORTED INTO WORK WHEN SHE CALLED MY PHONE.

SHE SAID IT, I CAN´T FIND YOUR DAD.

I CALMLY ASKED HER AND SHE SAID , HE DID NOT COME HOME.

DID YOU CALL SOMEONE THAT HE GOES TO?

DID YOU CALL AROUND?

SHE DID CALL AROUND.

SHE COULD NOT FIND HIM.

AFTER HER AND I SPOKE, WE HAD AGREED --I KNOW SHE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE.

WE AGREED TO GIVE IT A LITTLE TIME BEFORE WE REPORTED IT.

WHEN I ENDED THAT CALL, WOW.

THAT WAS THE START OF, I KNOW SOMETHING.

>> IT WAS 9:30 IN THE MORNING.

WE REPORTED HIM MISSING .

HE LEFT FOR HOME ON THE 24th.

WE GET INFORMATION AND PUT OUT FIRES.

THAT IS THE PLACE WE PROMISE.

WE LOOKED AT THE TRACK WITH THE HORSES.

ON FEBRUARY 24th , SUNDAY, AFTER 7:00 P.M. MARIO DANIELS LEFT AND SAID HE WOULD BE COMING BACK BUT HE DID NOT RETURN.

OCTOBER 24th, 8:00 P.M.

THERE WAS A VEHICLE THAT MR. DANIELS WAS ON THE LEASE OF BEING ONE OF THE RENTERS.

WE REALIZE THAT SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG.

I REMEMBER DRIVING UP THERE AND TRYING TO SEE FOR MYSELF AND CALLING PEOPLE THAT I KNEW.

AND DRIVING AROUND JUST TRYING TO FIND HIM.

EVENTUALLY, THE POLICE MOVED THE CAR AND BROUGHT IT TO THE POLICE STATION.

EVERY DAY I CAN REMEMBER , EVERY DAY WATCHING , EVERY SINGLE DAY.

MY OLDER SISTER WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME.

WE WANTED TO PROTECT HER BECAUSE WE KNEW IT WOULD BE HARD ON HER.

THE ONE BELOW ME, CAN YOU, SHE WAS IN COLLEGE.

WE REALLY WANTED HER TO FOCUS.

IT WAS JUST A MOMENT OF LONELINESS AND >> WE HAD A SPECIAL OPERATIONS , WE HAVE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS.

>> MR. DANIELS, WE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING.

WE SPOKE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT KNEW HIM.

THEY ALSO ASSISTED IN THE SEARCH AS WELL.

>> I REMEMBER HIM TRAINING.

AND THEN WE WENT TO HAVE A SEARCH PARTY.

WE LOOKED IN THE BUSHES AND WERE JUST TRYING TO FIND HIM.

I REMEMBER THE TEAM THAT I WAS FORTUNATE TO WORK WITH AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AT THE TIME.

THEY WERE SO CONCERNED ABOUT FINDING HIM.

THEY DID NOT WANT ME TO BE ALONE.

AND THEN IT WENT TO US GOING TO THE RACES AND TRYING TO FIND HIM.

TO TWO MONTHS LATER -- IT WAS IN 2000 , EARLY IN THE MORNING.

FORENSIC CAME OUT.

AND WE FOUND A SKULL.

AND THEY THOUGHT IT BELONGED TO MR. DANIELS.

WE GOT SOME DENTAL REPORTS FROM HIS DENNIS.

ARNE THE INVESTIGATION ENDED WITH THE SKELETON.

THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS HOMICIDE DUE TO GUNSHOT WOUND.

THE INVESTIGATOR THAT WAS IN CHARGE NOTIFY THE FAMILY.

WE SEE WE JUST WANTED TO KNOW SOMETHING.

I CAN REMEMBER IT WAS A BLOODIED SHIRT.

WE JUST KNOW IT WAS HIM.

ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PD TELLING ME ABOUT IT.

IT HAS BEEN 23 YEARS AND WE STILL DON´T HAVE NOTHING.

>> THERE WAS NOBODY TO LOOK FOR.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO CALL AND GIVE ASSISTANCE.

ALL THE FAMILY WANTS IS CLOSURE.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR.

>> I THINK KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT HAPPENED , AND WHO DID IT -- IT MAY NOT BRING BACK DADDY, IT WILL HELP A PIECE OF OUR HEART THAT WILL FOREVER REMAIN OPEN.

NOBODY, NO REASON WHY , KNOW WHO, KNOW WHAT.

WE JUST KNOW THAT HE IS NOT HERE.

THE STORY HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD.

AT THE TIME, WHEN HE ENDED UP MISSING, WE JUST FOUND THE CARD AND ALL THESE THINGS MADE HEADLINES.

WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT AND WHO.

HE WAS A CARING PERSON.

HE HAD CHILDREN.

WE JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

WHEN THEY TOOK HIM, THEY LEFT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE LYING ON THE GROUND.

SO MANY PEOPLE WILL FOREVER HAVE A PIECE OF THEM GONE BECAUSE HE IS NOT THERE AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

>> MARIO´S CHILDREN WANT CLOSURE AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CASE, CALL CRIME STOPPERS TODAY.

1-800 , >>> THE NEXT ONE HAPPENED -- IT INVOLVES A 46-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO 17th, 2020 HERE IS THE STORY OF FERDINAND MARSHALL.

HE GREW UP IN BARBADOS.

IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT BEING FERDINAND.

I USED TO CALL HIM COUSIN ADRIAN.

EVERY MORNING WE GET UP AND GO ON AN ADVENTURE.

HE WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH.

WE WOULD TAKE IT ALL APART.

HE WOULD DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE.

I THOUGHT HE WAS MacGYVER.

AS YOUNG BOY, FERDINAND CAME WITH HIS MAMA.

HE WAS SO EXCITED.

FERDINAND IS THE OLDEST OF HIS SIBLINGS.

>> I HAVE MY OLDER BROTHER AND THEN A BABY.

HE WAS THE BROTHER.

HE WOULD BE THE ONE TO PICK YOU UP AND DROP YOU WHERE YOU NEEDED TO GO.

HE WAS A FATHER FIGURE.

WE WERE VERY, VERY CLOSE, HIM AND I.

HE COULD PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU WERE DOWN.

HE CAN MAKE EVERYONE START LAUGHING.

HE IS CARING AND EVERYONE LOVES THE FACT THAT HE WAS UNSELFISH.

HE WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO GIVE YOU A LIFT.

HE IS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WOULD GIVE YOU HIS LAST DOLLAR, IF YOU NEEDED IT.

THEY HEADLIGHT, AND HE WATER.

HIS HANDS.

ELECTRICIAN, ROOFING , MY FATHER WAS A MECHANIC.

HE CAN LITERALLY FIX ANYTHING.

HE COULD DO ANYTHING YOU ASKED HIM TO DO.

IF YOU NEED HIM WOULD PUT UP A CAMERA.

THEY WOULD TALK TO HIM BEFORE THEY REACH OUT TO ANOTHER ELECTRICIAN.

HE WAS A JACK OF ALL TRADES.

HE IS THE EPITOME OF WHAT A FATHER SHOULD BE.

HE LOVED HIS CHILDREN.

EVEN IF HE WAS ON A ROOFTOP, HIS KIDS ARE RIGHT THERE HELPING HIM.

HE WAS A FAMILY MAN.

>> HE HAD 10 CHILDREN AND HE HAD A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL OF THEM.

I JUST CAME HOME FROM CHURCH.

I HEARD THE SIRENS GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

AS SOON AS I STEPPED IN MY HOUSE, I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND IT WAS MY UNCLE.

I WAS THE FIRST FAMILY MEMBER TO KNOW THAT MY FATHER WAS SHOT.

I ASKED IF HE WAS OKAY.

HE SAID HE IS NOT BREATHING RIGHT NOW.

WE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND WE LOOK DOWN AND THERE WAS FERDINAND.

>> FERDINAND MARSHALL, HE WAS 46 YEARS OLD.

JANUARY 17th, 2020.

APARTMENT 106.

AT 7:43 P.M. 911 WAS CALLED WITH SHOTS FIRED IN THAT AREA.

WHEN THEY GOT THERE, THEY FOUND FERNANDO LAYING FACE UP.

THE EMTs THAT ARRIVED , THEY PRONOUNCED HIM DEAD AT APPROXIMATELY 7:47 P.M. INVESTIGATORS ON THE SCENE GOT THE VEHICLE THAT HE WAS DRIVING.

THEY RECEIVED THE INFORMATION THAT A TRUCK LEFT THE SCENE.

PEOPLE WHO KNOW HIM, KNOW THE YOUNG LADY THAT OWNS THE TRUCK AND THEY TRIED TO GET THE INFORMATION .

THEY TOOK AN ABP ON THE TRUCK.

THAT IS THE INFORMATION THEY WERE RECEIVING AT THE TIME.

THEY DID A PUSH TO THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE.

DETECTIVE STARTED TO DO A SEARCH.

IT IS TO SEE IF THEY CAN LOCATE THE SUSPECT WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN DRIVING .

WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THE STEEP HILL.

THEY WERE LOOKING IN THE BUSHES TO SEE IF SOMEONE HAD RUN INTO THE BUSHES AND MIGHT BE HIDING.

THEY WENT BEHIND THE BUSINESS.

NO ONE WAS FOUND.

HE CAME HOME FROM BEING OUT.

WHEN HE CAME HOME , WITHIN MINUTES, THE PERSON ATTACKED HIM IN THE HOUSE.

I DON´T THINK THERE WAS ANY SURVEILLANCE.

THEY´RE NOT SURE ABOUT WHO MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE APARTMENT.

THE ONLY THING THAT THEY COULD SEE IS THAT THEY WERE DRESSED IN ALL BLACK.

MONEY IN HIS ONE HAND.

A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN HIS POCKET WAS NOT TAKEN.

THE ONLY MONEY WAS TAKEN OUT OF HIS HAND.

>> YOU COULD SAY TWO THINGS.

THE PERSON WHO SHOT HIM DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ROB HIM.

OR THE PERSON THAT SHOT HIM DID NOT GO IN THERE WITH THE INTENTION TO ROB HIM.

WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE GOING TO RIGHT NOW.

WERE GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY WERE AND ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM TO SEE WHAT SITUATION THEY HAD WITH MR. MARSHALL.

IF ANYONE CAN HELP US --WHERE DO YOU GO?

WHEN HE COME FROM?

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

ANYONE?

WE NEED A TIMELINE TO GO BACK AND SPEAK TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE AND KNEW HIM.

WAS HE ARGUING WITH ANYONE?

WAS ANYONE FOLLOWING HIM?

ARE TRYING TO JUST FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT LED TO HIM BEING SHOT.

>> EVERYONE KNOWS HIM IN THE COMMUNITY.

EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS A FUNNY GUY.

EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS A FAMILY GUY.

NO ONE WOULD SAY , YOU KNOW WHAT, I COULD SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING.

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

IT WAS JUST OUT OF THE BLUE.

EVERYONE IS QUESTIONING HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SUCH A GREAT GUY.

HE WAS NOT A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY WITH PARTYING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

HE WAS REALLY LOW-KEY.

WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS JUST A QUESTION MARK.

IT MAKES US THINK, LIKE WHITE?

IS THERE SOMETHING WE´RE MISSING?

THERE IS NO REASON IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THIS PERSON.

>> MR. MARSHALL DID NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL HISTORY.

HE DIDN´T SEEM TO BE CAUGHT UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE OR CRIME.

WE ARE STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WALK UP INTO SOMEONE´S RESIDENT AND SHOOT THEM .

EVEN ROB THEM, SHOOT THEM FOR WHAT REASON?

THAT IS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW, WHY.

UNTIL WE CAN DETERMINE WHY , IT WILL BE HARD TO GET THIS SOLVED.

IT MAKES IT TOUGH.

THIS IS A PUZZLE WITH 1 MILLION PIECES THAT ARE MISSING.

WE NEED SOMEONE WHO SAW WHAT HAPPENED, WHO IS NOT AFRAID TO COME FORWARD.

SAY THAT I SAW THIS PERSON GO IN AND SHOOT THIS MAN TO DEATH.

I´M SURE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT HEARD, WATCH THEIR WINDOW AND KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

NINE TIMES OUT OF 10 , THERE WERE GUYS PROBABLY SITTING RIGHT THERE.

THAT IS HOW THE TRUCK CAME OUT THERE.

NINE TIMES OUT OF 10 HE´S GOING TO SHOOT, AND DRIVE OUT OF THEIR WITH THE MASK OFF AND HAVE HIS FACE WIDE OPEN.

SOMEONE HAS TO COME FORWARD.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING MISS THINGS.

THEY HAVE THE REASONS WHY THEY DON´T WANT TO COME FORWARD.

COME FORWARD, CALL US.

CALL ME.

I WILL MEET YOU ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

WE JUST WANT TO GIVE THIS FAMILY CLOSURE.

A LOT OF KIDS DEPEND ON HIM, AND NOW HE IS GONE.

THAT IS ROUGH.

>> AFTER HE WAS KILLED , HIS GIRLFRIEND GAVE BIRTH TO TWINS.

THEY WERE PREMATURELY BORN.

THERE WAS NO IN QUEUE BETTER TO KEEP THEM WARM.

YOU JUST WANT TO TELL HIS KIDS, DADDY, FERDINAND, HE LOVES YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

THEY ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

>> I WOULD WANT FERDINAND TO BE KNOWN FOR BEING A LOVER .

FOR BEING A GREAT FATHER.

FOR BEING A LOVING PERSON.

SOMEONE A YOUNG MALE WOULD LOOK UP TO.

HE HAD MANY FRIENDS THAT WERE YOUNGER THAN HIM.

HE WAS A FATHER FIGURE AND BROTHER FIGURE.

HE WAS A GOOD FATHER, A GOOD PERSON AS ANY MAN SHOULD BE.

I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER HIM AS BEING A GREAT PERSON, A GREAT GUY, A GREAT BROTHER, A GREAT FRIEND.

WE JUST WANT ANSWERS.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHY AND THEN WE DID HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
