2011 A Week After the Last Interview With Her Mother
Announcer: Tonight on Dateline with Barbara Walters: Did We Really Know Maximilian Rolleck and Maliyah Jones" continued through siblings and family friends. Some of her siblings Brian and Adriana Jones, Laurence Codman, Madison and William Mobely.
Barbra: " Thank you for joining us and we have the deepest sympathy for your both of your losses."
Adriana: " No problem, Barbra."
Barbra: " Okay let us begin. Your sibling, the music icon, Maliyah Jones. What do you guys have to say about this? I know that it has been difficult for you guys so what's..."
Brian: " Well, you know Barbra, that the case, in our eyes is no where near being solved... uhh... We have called the police department to continue the search and we have not gotten a call back from them."
Adriana: " And everyone has been asking these questions like 'how are we going to set up cemetary arrangements and a funeral without any bodies?' I mean this is Maliyah Jones and Max Rolleck we're talking about. Two mega million icons throughout the world and we can't figure who, what, where, and how this could happen to TWO people."
Laurence: " It's kind of suspicious how they could just disappear like that..."
Barbra: " Of course because you guys love your youngest sibling and your uncle."
William: " Exactly and we are trying our best to figure out this whole situation. For all we know if there are no bodies to be found, they could still be alive, or at least one of them could be. The complexity of this just baffles the whole family and we're doing our best..."
Madison: " To figure out everything."
William: "...Yeah."
Barbra: " Of course, that is the same thing that any family would do. Okay, now tell me about her early life, what you as a child , remember her as."
Adriana: " She wasn't the, you know, the 'annoying little sister' she was the fantasy sister. She would leave you alone when wanted to be left alone. She was very smart, hilarious and sometimes sarcastic."
Brian: " And very sporty,"
William: " Very sporty."
Brian: " She would play football with us,"
Adriana: " And dolls with Madison and I."
Brian: " My daughter loved her aunt."
William: " All our kids did, but once again they're too young to understand that they will never see her again."
Adriana: " My son and daughter would ask 'Can we visit aunt Maliyah?' and 'Where's Auntie?' and its like what am I supposed to tell them y'know?"
Barbra: " Is it sometimes very hard for you to believe that they're gone?"
All: " Everyday."
Barbra: " And what about her alcoholic era?"
Laurence: " I think I can speak about that, um... it had started about six years ago. She would call me and cry about her mom and celebrity life and babble my ear off. I couldn't always understand what she was talking about, though."
Madison: " And the death of Michael Jackson intensified the alcoholic in her severely. I remember getting a call from a local bar/nightclub in Hollywood about coming and getting her after a crazy night. She didn't wake up until 2:00 pm and she didn't remember a thing."
Barbra: " I can see that television and newspapers do not include everything."
Adriana: " And they shouldn't."
Barbra: " What about her relationships?"
Madison: " I can speak on that. There's really nothing else for us to say but that her ex boyfirends all loved her still but she didn't know and all three of them called my phone, blowing it up at the same time, asking and crying 'is it true?' and all of that."
Barbra: " I heard that they are making a movie called 'My Week With Maliyah' based on one of those relationships. I also had heard that they haven't found a girl that can properly and precisely take the role of Ms. Jones."
Adriana: " I don't think anyone can properly and precisely place my sister,"
Brian: " Definately not because there was absolutely no one like her(knodding his head to keep himself from shedding a tear but fails. Adriana rubs his back in confortingly)"
Barbra: " Here is a tissue(it sounds as though she is holding back emotion and tears herself)Stay tunes we will return after these messages."
