And now, for your reading pleasure (and to prevent anyone else's ears bleeding) I present the third part of the published videos. Note that ~~~ indicates a cut in the recording. Note also that I've tried my best to describe AY's pauses, etc., though some may interpret them differently.
I'll be watching the news14 website later today for the installments they promised to release today.
Re: IMVU website and accusations against him
JM: Umm, in the second set of search warrants we saw a lot of information about IMVU. And you have an account with IMVU according to these warrants, is that right?
AY: Yeah.
JM: And, um, a lot of the accusations coming out surrounding that are coming from people who talked to police saying that you and Adam and Elisa were participating in deviant behaviour on IMVU. What is the story behind that?
AY: Ahh, I dunno, I dunno where they're getting their information because I have an IMVU account but I've not been on it in..I dunno how...it been a long time and I can't even remember my password on it.
JM: Um, it's not something I was even familiar with before all of this came out.Um, and so when I looked at it, it seems like you can do anything on there. The search warrants indicate that someone in the Baker's home was on the computer doing a mutilation room, or a massacre-type thing which, I guess, raising eyebrows considering what's happened in this investigation. Have you participated in any of those kinds of things on that website?
AY: No, I didn't even know you could. Um, I didn't know you could do stuff like that on that, on IMVU. Ah, I thought it was just a chat, basically a virtual chat, and I know they had like different clubs and rooms, yanno you could go into, but I didn't know they actually could involve stuff like that in it.
~~~
JM: Um, what do you think is important people know about this investigation? A lot of people are asking questions and, and, I know harassing you through your Facebook and calling your number that was posted in the search warrants. What do you want to tell people?
AY: I know I didn't have anything to do with it, whatsoever. Ah, I hadn't been around Lisa since February. And I'd run into them a couple of times, here and there and out at stores or something, yanno, but, yanno, say "Hey" and then that'd be it. Ah, I hadn't even, I'd never been to the house in Hickory. I don't even know what the inside of it looks like.
JM: Um, do you believe when the police say, or the search warrants indicate, that, umm, Elisa and Adam, or Elisa or Adam, were hiding Zahra from the public? From the outside world? Umm, that the people in Hickory, in that community, never saw Zahra. The people in the home before that never saw Zahra, and that they were, just basically, keeping her confined? Do you, would you, believe that?
AY: Ahh (pause, deep breath), kind of, yeah. I know, the times that I seen 'em out, out and about, ah, most of the time they didn't have Zahra with 'em. Yanno, I'd always ask, "Where's Zahra?" And, yanno, they'd be like, "Well, she's at home." So I guess she was there by herself.

JM: Your name's also come out through the second set of search warrants that were released, and I'm sure you've read all of these things. Umm, and it, was that the first time you found out that the police were tracking your phone, and tracing your calls?
AY: Ahh. (pause) Yeah, I guess, but, uhh, I had gave law enforcement my phone number and all the information and yanno told 'em if they needed anything off of it, yanno, to get it.
JM: Um, the day that I met you at the police department, umm, you were there doing an interview. Did you go down there to talk to the police?
AY: Yeah. That's when I gave them the, my phone.
JM: Um, and did you know that the police walked cadaver dogs around your truck that day? And, it seemed like, were treating you as a possible suspect, and maybe they do that with everyone, but did you know that they kind of put you in that category?
AY: Ahh. (pause, shifty eyes, swallow, deep breath) No I didn't know about the truck, but I know they, when I left, uh, Detective Falowski told me that uh, they had search dogs up at my house. Yanno, goin' around the properties up there.
JM: I think because of your connection with Elisa being so long and maybe misleading Adam about your relationship, seems, on the internet at least, a lot of people have thrown accusations at you.
AY: Yeah.
JM: What do you think about that?
AY: Ahh. (pause, deep breath, shifty eyes) I know the reason. Lisa told me that she was going to tell Adam that I was her brother. I told her a couple of times, "Yanno, just go ahead and tell him the truth. Yanno it'll be a lot easier." And she said, "Oh, that won't be such a good idea." And she made me think he was big, bad, macho guy and if he, something happens and I was over at Amber's or out somewhere and they ran into me there, that it wouldn't be good. So (pause) I just went along with it.
JM: Is there any way that you would have a part in anything to hurt Zahra?
AY: No. (chuckles) There ain't no way.
JM: Tell me why. Because people who don't know you, you're such an easy target because you have a history with Elisa and the family and have known so much, umm, about the family, and have made so many comments on the internet. Tell me why you don't deserve to be targetted as a suspect.
AY: Ahh. (sigh, swallow) Well, I loved Zahra just as much as anybody. Ah, I got close to her and she was close to me, and we always had fun together, and... ain't no way I could do that to any kid, and especially Zahra, because Zahra, like I said, basically the perfect child.
