They don't want to go back there. I never wanted to write there. He says quite a bit of stuff. He says he's not going to do anything funny, but he does. It's always a loving relationship, it. Is it's not safe? I feel like there's something trapped in him so. Everything that she disclosed is a lie. I don't know what she said. How would I know if it's a lie if it's? She always says a lie for me, but the son not gonna lie. He's evil. He's the devil.
He's the devil. An 11 year old girl comes forward with a shocking story, accusing her own father of unthinkable acts. He insists she's just angry about his strict parenting. But as she describes years of horrific violation dating back to kindergarten, the investigation hurdles toward an unprecedented outcome that will leave everyone stunned. A sexual preference is you like big fat girls or you like skinny girls.
Little kids, I'm crying. The following report is based on official police records and the footage has never been seen before until now. On August 23rd, 2022, emergency dispatchers in Alamogordo, NM take an alarming call from the assistant principal at the local middle school. 911 where is your emergency? We have a student that has reported that she's upset because dad has just come home and she just shared with a little boy that she has been
raping her. She was on the phone with a little boy and at first was Snapchatting him, but she's talking to the little boy right now and his mother has seen the Snapchat message that she sent and on the phone saying that her dad just got home and she was kind of freaking out. He does not feel safe. OK, how old is she? She's 11 years and 10 months. So they told the little girl that help is on the way. Father's name is Ryan.
Ryan Reese. When Otero County deputies head out to the address, the landlord next door tells them that the situation has become even more urgent. What are you looking? For him, for does he have a daughter? Yes. Like a young daughter, 12/11/12, yes. OK. And they're looking for her. They're looking for her. Yeah. She wasn't here right now. That's the. Reason why I was. Going to. Walk over there and sit. And look for her. Well, I'm, I'm here to make sure she's OK.
I didn't know that she ran off. The deputy finds Ryan Reese, the girl's father, who's currently in the midst of searching for his daughter. When was the last time you saw her? This morning, this morning she hasn't come home from school. The dog's gone. The dog's gone OK. Does she have a phone? She does. I've been trying to call her. She's not answering. Did did anything happen that would cause her to run away? No. No. Did y'all get any type of argument? No, I seen her this morning
before I left for work. Gave me a hug and I told her I'll see you when you get home from school. OK. Have you had issues with her running away in the past? No, I haven't. Can you please inform me what's obviously you're? Here, well, there were some concerns, but I need to talk to her. What information I got. She was here. You're going to talk to him and just see what because he's acting all weird and nervous to me when I'm talking to him. See if you're getting the same
by him. The deputies soon get the first hint that there may have been an incident between Ryan and his daughter after all. You said nothing out of the normal today. Y'all didn't get any type of argument. Oh, well, last night she went to school with some clothes on that I wasn't aware that she went to school with, and I told her that outfit's not appropriate, don't wear that. OK? I met her in the trash and I said don't wear those again.
But I mean, by the night's end, we were eating dinner. There was no yelling, screaming, hitting anything like that. I don't know. And you said she's never ran away before. She hasn't. OK, she hasn't. My dispatch is trying to call her to see if she'll call or answer the phone. They eventually managed to get her on the line, and the fear in the young girl's voice is unmistakable. We're calling to check on you and wanted to send a deputy out to talk with you to make sure everything's OK.
We got a phone call from your friend that you're somewhere else and I you're scared. OK, honey. OK, listen. OK, honey. No, I I know you're scared and there's been some, some your friend has told us some things that you've got going on. Can you tell me where you are right now? OK, there's no houses around me right now, but I can go. There's a silver building, OK. And I'm trying to go to my friend's house. She goes, actually, I'm going to try to head over to Roy's welding.
I can see it. And there's not stuff that very far. Roy's Welding. Listen, are you hurt right now? Are you injured? I I'm scared. My dad was even home when I got home. OK, but are you physically injured that you need any medical attention right now, ma'am? No, I don't need any medical attention. OK. The address I have, but that's the need. OK. So you bit yourself. Yes. Because I was stressing.
OK, So the reason we're checking on you today is because your friend said he was talking to you and that you were real scared and you'd been saying and telling him what's been going on between what your dad's been doing. I don't want to live with him anymore. I don't want to go with my mom either right now. I want to just make sure we get you with the deputy, OK? And then the rest of that, you guys we can work out later on or help you make sure you get the right help, OK?
Nice dog don't nice dog. Dare. She's nice. She just barks. OK. Do you have any water? Yeah, I think I do. How long have you been walking? Ever since all the way over there he's threatened to kill me. Last night he pulled my hair pretty hard and yelled at me for no reason. He just yelled at me for what I was wearing.
It was just jeans and a shirt. While it's clear that this incident played a part in sparking today's fire, it's far from the worst thing this young girl will share about her father and. Then today I I finally told a couple people. I told three people from my group when the girls didn't believe me. And then I told one of I told my friend. Then I also told my boyfriend. About things that have happened in the past as as far as sexually. Yes. And we, we did this, me and my
dad. It happened just a couple of months ago. Back at the house, Ryan has given an update about his daughter's whereabouts. I just wanted to let you know that our deputy is speaking with your daughter. He is doing an investigation right now. So she is with Deputy Mitchell who was here. Earlier and she will be with him while he's doing this investigation, but he's doing
his part and being thorough. He just gets real quiet and then he he just tells me and so I do because he's going to start yelling if I don't he gets all upset and so I do and then yeah. Do you know if she is sexually active at all or? I know that it seems that she's a pretty young age and she wouldn't think that but. It's hard to say what kids do at school or what they do at a friend's house, but all the friends I send her over to, they're all respectable people.
I would never put her in a bad situation like that. It's been happening for years, all the yelling and. OK, let let me call some of my friends, OK? You're at home with. Her so I you know her better than any of us would know her so if there's. It's always a loving relation. Sure it is OK I. Didn't want to go back there. I never wanted more. After. OK, well, let's try to figure this out. OK, just. My. Dad keeps on trying to. Call me. OK, well don't answer it.
Just talk to my friend Deputy White and I'll talk to you. Just one SEC. While waiting in the back seat of a patrol car, the young girl appeals to a higher power. Jehovah. Please don't have me go to the man again. Please don't take me there. Scary. I don't seem like a nice guy. I can't be with a fine fan. I can't go with this. I can't kill me. He's evil. Please, please, please, please, please don't bring me back.
Please. The girl is taken to the Child Advocacy Center, where a forensic interviewer will listen as she recounts her traumatic story of life with her father. So tell me who you've been? Who are you living with now? My God. Your dad and where does your mom live? Arizona. She says that her mom lost custody of her kids several years ago, though she's not sure of the exact reasons why. And. Then my dad found me because the judge asked if he wanted me and he said sure which I kind of
wish he didn't sort of be now. And now I live with my dad when I was about to turn 5 which that's when the sexual started having when I was 5. Before we start talking about that, because I understand that you did tell somebody something and that's how you got here. I told more than one person. You did tell more than one person.
Who did you tell? I told my boyfriend, I told my best friend and I told these three people that sit at my group and my fifth period, But when the girl is going to believe me, which that kind of made me really upset because that kind of issues. Those are things that you should be laughing about. I agree. And did when did you tell all these people? I told them all today. All. Today. And what made you decide to tell them today? I I can't take it anymore.
I don't, I'll be there. It's it's not a safe place for me. Over the next hour, the girl will share in shocking detail the horrifying secrets kept inside their home. But at the police station, her father tells an investigator that there's nothing whatsoever to be concerned about. What kind of relationship do you and your daughter have? I've been really close for the last nine years. That's always been a real good relationship. OK. Have you had any problems with her in the past?
Well, yeah, OK. What? What? Kind of problems do you have. Typical parenting problems, things that I don't allow her to do and things that I do allow her to do. You know that the dressing is one of them. While there will be many differences in the stories Ryan and his daughter tell the authorities today, they do both agree that there was a tense argument about her clothing last night. You know the torn up jeans that all the kids like to wear? Yes, Sir.
But they were ripped all along the crotch area. I mean they were completely shredding. I mean not appropriate for school at all. And once I got home, my dad saw what I was wearing and he says that outfit must have made you look really bad and make me look
really stupid. He also said you look like a poor little girl when wearing that, which actually a lot of people complimented me for it. When I got home from work and I seen her in the clothes that she was in, I told her to go change, take them off and throw them in the trash. And as I took the pants from her, I made sure they were finished. I tore them. I threw them in the trash can and she kind of started to cry. She was upset with me because I. Was.
Being a father. He got really angry because she was drunk and then he finally got he wasn't drunk anymore and then he started going really angry at me because of what I wore and then he just started yelling and yelling and he said I would have to wear this dress, which I didn't want to. What were you trying to get her to dress in? Pants and jeans and dress, anything that didn't have ripped up holes in it. OK.
She's just got a full wardrobe. I mean, she, yeah, her dress is completely full of perfectly fine clothes. For some reason she just chooses to wear the stuff I tell her not to. And I started crying because it really hurt. These guys don't cry because it didn't even hurt that bad, even though it did she. Tried to argue with me that the other kids wear them and then it's OK and I told her no it's not. OK. Yeah. So what? What can I I I. Yelled a little bit. Did you?
I did I I yelled at her. It's not a crime to yell at your parents, at your child. You know what else can I do? Can't hit them. You can't. Can't do anything. They kept on saying, does your teacher, does your principal wear ripped jeans? And kept on telling him no. And he says, well, don't you want to be a principal from it? And I said no, I'd want to be a kid. But she says her father never gave her that simple wish, and that he stole her childhood
innocence in more ways than one. He has threatened to take my life away. Has he ever told you how he would do that? He just tells you he. He has a firearm. Have you ever seen it or does he just tell you about it? I've seen it. Is he? Supposed to have a firearm. No ma'am, he's not allowed to have fun after the last incident that happened. Ryan's history includes a 2012 felony aggravated battery charge resulting from an incident
involving the girl's mother. So you're not supposed to be in possession of any firearms or ammunition, right? No. Is there any firearms at the house? No, there's no firearms at all at the. House No. Is there any ammunition at the house? No. These answers will come back to haunt Ryan later, but the main focus of today's interviews isn't gun possession or a power struggle over clothing. It's about something far more serious. Why do you think you're here right now being interviewed by
me? Well #1 because you're in a way, you guys had to come find her. And I guess there was a complaint filed, or not a complaint, but a welfare check. I don't know. She was upset at school. She wish she might have been. Obviously she was because she was upset enough to try to run away. Is there any other reasons why you think law enforcement would be talking to you right now? No. No. There, there's nothing that you think your daughter might disclose to law enforcement
that's concerning. If she does, it's no If she does. If she does, that's what she says. I would have no reason to believe she would, but. You were with your friends or your class today and you were telling them that something happened but one of them didn't believe you and not upset you tell me what you told them I told. Them because they called me of HORE and I said I'm not a whore. And I kept on trying to tell them that and it really made me upset. And I said you don't know what
goes on in my life. And then this one boy that sits right next to me, he says are you OK? Is there anything that goes on in your life? But we need to be told. I said yeah maybe there's something wrong that goes on with me and my dad and he says has he raped you? And I said that's what I would call it. But what might have started as a spur of the moment cry for help has now intensified into a major police investigation. She disclosed some concerning things involving sexual things. OK.
Involving you. OK. So it concerns me because I don't think my 11 year old is not sexually active could describe things that she described that happening. OK, so you you are a single dad. OK. I, I don't know what you're going through because I'm not OK. And, and there are, there's things that we, we, I'm not saying that there's things that we might do because we might be lonely. You know your your daughter is a sweet girl. OK. But I want you to be honest, OK? Has anything ever happened
between you and your daughter? Sexual. No, no Sir, Not like that. Not what you're explaining. What do you mean by not like that? There's been conversations about what sex is. Does your daughter have an imagination? I. Probably let her watch watch movies, she said. Nothing X-rated. But yeah, like she's she's grown up for her age. She really is. Like I said, I explained to her what sex is. She knows what it is. She knows what male and female organs do.
She knows how to make a baby. She knows. Is that because of you talking to her about her or is it her watching watching on YouTube and. Me talking to her about it. OK. How many times would you say that it's happened? It's happened almost every month. Almost every month. OK, so about once a month. Maybe once or twice every month. Once or twice a month. When's the last time it happened? Maybe two months ago. Do you remember what was
happening that day? Oh. I know that I was watching TV, even his voice always gets quiet and kind of talked softly before. And what does he say? This is quite a bit of stuff, like he'll lay down and I'm just going there watching TV, he said. He's not going to do anything funny, but he does. And at this time, are his clothes on or off or? Something else on? They're on. And what about? Yours. They're on.
So do you go over? Because I don't want him to get mad, because if I don't he'll start yelling and he will be mad for the rest of the day. I remember I was scared. It's always the same way. The same way as getting dying woman or do anything. The girls haunting story doesn't sit well with the investigator talking to Ryan. I've been trying to get why an 11 year old would be so graphic and detailed in something that she says that happened. I have no idea. I don't know.
I have an idea. I don't know if she's mad at me. I don't know if she wants to see me in trouble. I I don't know. But his daughter's story is far from over, and the details only grow more disturbing. Has he ever touched any other part of your body upper? What do you call that area? Beep. Can you just call them beep? Beep OK. And can you point so I can make sure we're understanding? Beep OK. Got you. So. Nothing has ever happened between you and your daughter. Central.
No, Sir. So everything that she disclosed to a interviewer is a lie. Well, I don't know what she disclosed to her or I don't know what she said. How would I know if it's a lie? If it's I'm, I'm telling you no. Sexual intercourse. No. Sexual penetration. No, Sir. It's never happened, ever. No. With your life. No, Sir. So what? What she told us is a lie. Well, if that's what she said, then yes.
Ryan's denial appears to be categorical, but his daughter says that there are items in the house that can back up her claims. Where did he get the condoms? Walgreens. Were you there when he got the condoms or he already had them? He bought them himself. He bought them. And where does he? Keep them. He keeps them on the bottom drawer of his dresser. In the bottom drawer of his dresser. Do you know what color box? It is black and gold or black and gold.
And are they individually wrapped or how are they? They're in a wrapper. They're in a wrapper. Do you know what color the wrappers are? Black and gold. He also gets birth control at Walgreens. He also gets birth control at Walgreens. What kind of birth control?
It's in a white and pink box. He's even stole one before because I was with him and so he just bought 2 water cases and just put it under one because he says like how is lady don't look under both of them because he just said one give one one. So he just kind of stole it because it's like $50. Oh wow. And when does he give it to you? A day after? The day after. The sexual counter he also has, you know, those things that to tell if you're pregnant, he also had those.
And there's also things like you prune as Vicarner the vinegar. Yeah, Vicarner, I can't say that word either. It's OK. And what do you do with those? You kind of squirt it and. And when does he make you do that? After a sexual terror attack. When Ryan's confronted about these claims, however, he maintains an air of innocence. So what? What kind of feminine products are inside the home? Just call your pads or tampons and I think. Oh. I do.
I did buy her a douche bottle because we she had a she had a urinary tract infection and she just finished her medication for that. She went and seen the doctor. So she makes her doctor visits. Ryan's daughter did tell the forensic interviewer that she was getting over a UTI, but that explanation won't work for the other products. Is there any like pregnancy tests inside the house? No. No. No, OK. That there, that there would be
anything like that. It'd be from a previous girlfriend that I had staying there for a little while. Have you ever bought the day after pill? Yeah, I purchased them. Yeah, that was also for the same moment that I, yeah, slept with. What was her name? Brittany. Brittany. And what is Brittany's last name? It's a very promiscuous situation. She's I just call her Brittany. You don't know her. It's. I know I don't. I could. I could probably find it
somewhere. So you you never bought your daughter a pregnancy test before it? Wouldn't have been for her, no. You never bought the the the day after pill for your daughter. Wouldn't have been for her or no Sir. They says understand the severity of this. OK, Is there a reason why you're sweating as bad as you are right now? I. Didn't realize it was.
The deputy's suspicions may be raised, but they're likely to grow more serious when it's revealed that this isn't the first time Ryan's daughter has made these allegations. Let's talk about last time. Remind me why you came in last time? I told one of my friends something. What did you tell your friend that time? I said that my dad had a a concert with me sexual OK. And that was when you were in 4th grade. Oh, so you were 10? Oh, it happened like. You're nice that time.
Did you tell me something happened? Tell me. Kind of, no? I'm like I was too. Scared you lied and OK, so you told me. That I told you that it didn't happen you. Told me it didn't happen. That forensic interview from 15 months earlier was also recorded, and there's a dramatic contrast between that conversation and today's. Would you? Agree with me. That there are places on your body that no one else should touch. Yes. And if anyone else did touch
them, who would you tell? I would tell my dad he would play the. Dad and what do you think he would do? He would probably go after them and like never touch my daughter again because she's really concerned about my safety. But he's a good guy. He doesn't hurt anybody, he says. He's just him. He's just him. I can tell you're like really, really nervous and on the urge of life crying. So tell me what you're worried. About well, I'm kind of worried if my dad gets in trouble.
I love him a lot, I know. You do, but I don't want you to worry about them. So right now you're not worried about anything except for dad going back to jail. And who told you he could go back to jail? No, buddy, but I just don't want him to go to jail. He's like, I just don't want to go to jail or anything. People do that. Yeah, he says he doesn't want to go to jail again, and I said I'll protect him no matter what. Now, more than a year later, Ryan's daughter has clearly had
a change of heart. I think he does belong in jail. What he's doing is all right. Tell me what? Happened after you left here that day and you went home. Did the police or anybody talk to him? He was, he was upset on me, but he was glad that I lie. He always says lie for me, but this time this is important. He's not a safe man. Unsurprisingly, Ryan also remembers the previous investigation. Has she ever made any type of allegations in the past before?
There was a report by CYFD, and this has been over a year ago, about abuse. But the investigators came in, they looked at the house, they talked to her. They did the same thing. They interviewed her for several hours. They said they found absolutely nothing to him and that was dropped. They didn't even make a return visit. It remains to be seen if the current investigation will go away so easily, and there's certainly at least one person
hoping that it doesn't. I don't even care if I have to get adopted. It's just not a safe place for me. I really want to adoption, adoption of the way because I that's just not a safe place for me because I feel like if I go back there, he will kill me. He won't take my life and the cops that I might have to go live there. So I might have to go back but don't love to and. You don't want to because you don't feel safe. You think he's going to kill you? I just feel like it's not safe.
I feel like there's something trapped in him. Think the devil. He's not a safe man. I can't believe that because I've made her serve her clothes away, all this has become of it. And I don't know what she's told the investigators or why she'd even have a reason to do that, but I'm a little bit beside myself. I never want to go back home and they won't come there. I will hear a few times away all my stuff. I'm not coming there. Even if they take me back there,
I'm just going to find a way. I'm just going to leave again. She's taken into CYFD custody as a search warrant is written for Ryan's DNA and the house itself. Unfortunately, the search will be made more difficult by the fact that Ryan accidentally locked his keys inside. Say what? Somebody might be climbing through. That window it's. There. Huh. You can clear your. House After gaining access, the deputies know exactly what to
look for. So condoms that are black and gold douche from what I pregnancy she was. Saying douche and pregnancy test from the bathroom. Yeah, and then that was it. Because you don't. He only bought the pills when he needed it and then the gown and ammo. Did you take part of that? I just photographed overall. If. You find something that you specifically want, well, just take a picture of it. I don't really mean a clock. To really suspicious straight, there would be nothing of
anything that she described. If that's hit their regular ritual when he does crap like that and it's all gone. If we can't find the crap it's either she's lying or he put it in the car. So any other things I. Noticed. The little trash can be something fun. The empty trash isn't evidence, but it does harken back to something Ryan's daughter said in her interview when discussing how he would dispose of the used
condoms. He always puts her on the bottom of the trash can and so nobody finds it. And then once we throw away trash, we always take it across the road or in Mesa Verde Village in one of the announcements. While the investigators don't find much in the home to corroborate her story, they do find some items of interest. We need to find some ammo and a gun case and. Everything else in that that shop. Yeah, that's old.
That's old. That's when I used to have firearms, when I was allowed to have them. That's what was leftover. It was leftover. Yeah, it's. The police conclude the search suspicious that there's no gun to go with the ammunition they found. The shadow of that missing gun looms overhead when they get a call from Ryan's landlord two days later saying he's suddenly vanished. He was here. 2 days ago and he doesn't show up anymore. The place was open. And lost, so there's nobody
inside the house. Everything is there, there's nothing. Being taken so but these are his only vehicles, right? Yes, check. In just a. Minute, OK. And the door is. Open. You can walk in Sheriff's Office 1326. Call that phone number one more time. I don't know what happened. To you OK. So I don't know. Many years of years or I don't know. OK, just be it do. You think something something's happened to him, let's step back
out. But he does have privacy with me. 1326 you can 22 it. The phone's here. The deputy searched the property, eventually coming to a peculiar discovery. 1326 I have boot impressions over here S well northwest of the pump. I think it stops right there, right? Because there's there's shoe there's shoe impressions going this way and the shoe impressions going this way. So it looks like he wondered if that's where the gun was. Ryan's whereabouts don't remain
a mystery for long. A deputy catches up to him at his dad's house later that day. Would you be willing to go to the Sheriff's Office and do another interview with me? You. Know I've been contacting now. You know, I've already contacted. The public defender's office. I've talked to Cy. FDE. OK. The public defender is telling me not to answer any more questions without them present. OK. That's what they're telling you. You just seem, you seem really nervous to me. Distraught.
Distraught. Yeah, you know. This whole thing is very serious. I understand the allegations of what's been said and what's been done something like this if the. Charges are brought up on me. You know, the DA decides to do that. I don't ever have a chance of getting out of prison, you know, just as well as I do, so it's kind of got me nervous. I want you to be honest because there's some things I found out today that you're not telling me the truth on.
Investigators have spoken to employees at the welding company Ryan works for, and one of them claims that when Ryan came by the shop to explain what was happening, he admitted that he'd thrown his pistol in the bushes before the cops searched the house. Oh, Sir, I'm not guilty of everything that's on that paper. And I didn't say you are, but you know, and I know that you're not being completely honest
about this whole case. I'm not talking about the sexual allegations, but some of the other stuff. You're not telling me the. Truth at this time. I'd I'd rather not talk. I'd. Rather not. Please. Yep. There's little movement in the investigation. For the next 6 months, Ryan remains free with no charges filed. Meanwhile, his daughter has gone to live with her mom in Arizona.
But in February of the following year, a new detective on the case decides to have a talk with Ryan's father, who turns out to have something interesting to share from the girl at the center of this painful ordeal. And she wrote him a letter that was. Just heartfelt. How do you know? Well, because. She mailed. And you want me to get? The ladder, sure. So I'll read it aloud. It says I miss you very much and I pray that you are OK. Things have been fine. And I thank you so much for the
bracelet. I wear it every day and I read the card you gave me every day and it makes me miss you more. And when I'm 14 I promise I'll come see you. Really now all I feel is guilty and sad and sometimes happy because you say it's not my fault, but it is my fault. Now reading this letter it to me, it only brings it further in the sense that your daughter or I'm sorry your granddaughter had a close relationship with her father.
During the interview that a forensic interviewer performed with, she went into graphic, vivid detail of what she and her father used to do. And it was never disclosed in a way that where it was a brutal rape, OK. It was always more in the sense of two people engaging in a consensual relationship, in a consensual sexual relationship. And that is that what you think's happening? That's what I believe happened, yes.
Ryan's father insists that there are potentially other explanations, such as her watching adult videos online and talking to bad influences, but the detective isn't buying it. She knows specific details about condoms, as you know, in pornography. No condoms are used in pornography. OK, She knows about birth control. What is it? Why does a child, let me again, if say she's getting influence from other people or say she's watching for pornography?
A child should not know the details about birth control unless she's taking birth control that is being provided to her by an adult. There's more the morning after pill. She even described the packaging of the morning after pill that you have to get it from a pharmacy. She even gave a rough estimate of how much the morning after pill cost. Ryan is not going to go through these steps. If say it was, it was not happy. Why is he going through this
step, these steps? Because he doesn't want to get caught. Because he loves his daughter. Because he doesn't want her to end up pregnant. My. Daughter, are you kidding her? I know this is very difficult to take in, but this is what what the reality of of of of where this case is right now. The detective assures him, however, that he didn't just come over to spoil his day. He wants his help to close the case. I've.
Worked over 100 cases involving stuff like this and I've never seen a more compelling interview. If that. Did if all this did happen? Well then. Exactly. Then that's always been my thought. A child molester needs castrated and. What you know. And you know what? That's how I know that you're a good man. We live in such society that there are certain governmental big waitings and big shots that are trying to decriminalize saying that, oh, pedophilia isn't a crime, it's a sexual
preference. It's a sexual orientation. No, a sexual orientation is you like dudes or you like women. A sexual preference is you like big fat girls or you like skinny girls. Like little kids? Little kids, that's all. That's that's. Not a crime, that's a punishable. I don't know your son, obviously he's your son. If I believe. I believe if anybody can convince him to come forward and come clean and get the help that he needs, who better do that than you?
Well, I'll be damn sure having a real good. Talk with him? Yeah, this opens up a whole different conversation with him. Maybe all these little girl needs is for her dad to man up and be like, yeah, I did and take responsibility and ownership for what he did. Unfortunately, when the detective returns a week later, he learns that things didn't play out that way. So do you have a conversation with your son? I did. Yeah, How'd that go? It went. Good, I said that you come up
said. That. He admit and he's that I had heard that he had about admit. Something there? There's nothing to admit, Sir. I know you're an expert in your. Field and you're very good at what you do, but I. Think you got the wrong guy. All right, OK, I'll, I'll reach out to him and then we'll just kind of go from. There, Ryan agrees to come in for another interview, giving the detective what may be his last chance at finding the truth.
And, and right now I understand that you do not have an actual attorney representing you. Is that correct? No. OK, Gerardo. All right. And what's you know, what's? So what's that about that? With that. Is it the only money that I actually have for a paid attorney? Is it my daughter's savings account? OK, OK now. Get her the car when she's 60. And you know what, man? Like I said, I, I, I don't know much about you.
I know you know about this case. And from what I gather, from what I can see, I. Think you're really there? But while that compliment may be enough to keep Ryan seated through questions about his ex-wife, it's not quite enough to get to the subject of his daughter's allegations. Do you have any other kids with somebody else? Outside of you, not that. I can prove their mind. That's that's where I'm going to stop answering questions. For that, yeah. You know that's.
You don't want to answer any more questions. Or about that specifically. Just just all together, but. OK. All right. Well, I appreciate you coming in, you know. For Resolve, after all, it's at least at least a chance to get a call and talk to me. I don't think it's right that I can't always get a phone call through to her. The case does soon come to a resolution, though perhaps not
the one he was hoping for. After being indicted in August 2023, Ryan faced trial in February 2025 where a jury found him guilty of 18 counts of criminal sexual penetration in the first degree, 7 counts of criminal sexual contact and six counts of incest, all of which involved a victim under 18 years of age. I don't think I'm going to get anything fair out of this prosecuted to the false extent.
In April 2025, the judge imposed a 391 year sentence, the longest in the history of New Mexico's 12th Judicial District. Because he must serve at least 85% of that sentence, 40 year old Ryan Reese won't be eligible for parole until the year 2357. He's appealing his conviction while awaiting trial on a final charge of possession of a firearm by a felon.
