Fugitive Tyler Adams used a fake name to cross the border with his baby and girlfriend, who was later found murdered in Tijuana with the baby missing.
David Sabean said he has not been told by authorities what went wrong, but he said Tyler, whom he knew as Phillips, “has always said he was the smartest person in the room. And he’s smarter than all those people over there that he got away from. This is his second escape… Are they working for the Mickey Mouse Club? Are they working for Disneyland? Are you kidding me?” he asked.
David Sabean’s ex-wife and Racquel Sabean’s mother, Denise Sabean-Hosking, said looking back does not help her get her daughter back. “I’m not angry. I’m disappointed, but it just goes to show this guy is somehow able to convince people that things are such that they aren’t.” She said he is very charming and convincing and if he has no money or credit card, she fears he could be dangerous to others. She also worries about her granddaughter when she comes back to the U.S.
“He loves the baby, he wants that baby and I just need to have the peace of mind knowing that he’s in a place where he’s not ever going to be able to steal her away from family," Sabean-Hosking said. Because this is an FBI case, the San Diego Police Department said it could not comment. CBP did not respond to NBC 7's request for comment on the story.
