if you're longtime viewer of today now
you'll remember the story of Tanya
Charlie the girl from Cleveland Ohio
that disappeared 4 years ago today pay
close attention to this next segment
because we are really depending on you
to help us help Tanya and her mother
Rita Charlie thanks so much for being
here we are going to do our best to
bring you and your daughter back
together and aiding Us in that effort
our own forensics expert Douglas Molino
now what Douglas has been doing Miss
Charlie is taking the photos that you've
generously provided us up Tanya as a
child and digitally aged them we have no
idea of what she might look like since
she's gone missing would you take us
through the steps of that compositing
technique of course first we start with
this photo of Tanya provided to us by
Miss Charlie mhm oh what a lovely girl
but like most runaways she likely would
have spent her days and nights on the
street living as a vagrant so this is
what she would have looked like one year
after her disappearance oh my goodness
listen if you recall seeing this girl
please call the Onion News Network
rescue line now she would have gone up
to someone and asked for help and maybe
they would have helped her well that's
an intriguing possibility I'm afraid
it's not likely whatsoever Jim the
authorities are a runway's worst enemy
and whatever street gang she may have
been running with would have prevented
her from going to the police right
here's Tanya in 2004 oh that's just so
sad hungry and desperate for money she
would have bleached her hair blonde to
increase her her market value as a child
prostitute the life of a prostitute must
be hard on the little girl they just
want her to come are there bruises from
her pimp Douglas yes eventually to
escape the pain she would have taken up
crystal meth and that would cause a
dramatic shift in appearance such as
this unbelievable so what our audience
should be on the lookout for now Douglas
is a young crystal meth addict uh no
probability suggests that after turning
so many tricks she would have become
pregnant around the age of 13 at which
case her pimp would have cut off her
drug Supply that's good she's off the Dr
you've been so helpful Douglas but could
you bring us up to date on what does
Tanya look like right now on the streets
sure after her pregnancy diet of chicken
wings pulled from trash cans she's
probably about 30 lbs overweight dressed
in a tattered Cleveland Browns jersey
carrying a jaundice baby swaddled in a
garbage
bag I urge everyone watching to note one
particularly distinguishing
characteristic the deep sadness in
Tanya's eyes right it's so apparent
there isn't it uh well thank you so much
Douglas and if anyone in our audience
recognizes that that haunting deep
despondent uh look on the face of this
young girl please call us here at the
onion News Network Douglas thank you for
your amazing work just trying to help
bring a mother and daughter back
together helping people that's what
we're all about here on today now thanks
Douglas
