00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: In Utah, the parents of an eighteen month old found

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: dead in March have now been charged with the death

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: of their daughter Ruby. In the crib where Ruby is found,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: investigators find several sippy cups and waffles. The infant's mother, Carrie,

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: says family are not table people and Ruby didn't like

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: people feeding her, so she ate her food in her crib.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Carrie Murray have since been arrested on suspicion

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: of murder and child abuse. During interviews, Mitchell and Carrie

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: say they feed their baby three times a day and

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: also provide her with snacks in between meals. They also

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: mentioned Ruby has only eating baby food once or twice.

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: A review of baby monitor footage of the four days

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: leading up to Ruby's death, investigators create a timeline that

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: shows Ruby is only taken out of her crib for

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: a total of six hours and with another person for

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: less than an hour of those four days. When question

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: about the baby's death, Carrie says it was her time.

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: Investigators determined Ruby died of dehydration and malnutrition. It's not

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: immediately clear if the parents have been formally charged. If

Speaker 3: I'm Jennifer Goold. A twenty two year old woman, just

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: days from giving birth to her baby boy, was deliberately lured,

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: stabbed dozens of times, and held down in the desolate

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: Michigan woods while her own mother and stepfather allegedly carved

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: her unborn infant.

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: From her womb.

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: Prosecutors revealed in a stunning court hearing the chilling plot

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: was meticulously planned, investigators say, turning a family home into

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: the staging ground for a calculated brutal execution. Here's Wexford

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 3: County Prosecutor Joanna Carey in court.

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: This is frankly evil personify.

38
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: Rebecca Park, twenty two, disappeared on November three after leaving

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: her home in Cadillac. Her frantic friends and family, who

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: had seen her glowing social media posts about the impending

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: arrival of her son, endured three agonizing weeks before a

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: search party made the gruesome discovery on November twenty fifth,

43
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: in a secluded area of the Manistee National Forest near

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: her mother's remote property. The remains of the young woman,

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 3: who was thirty eight weeks pregnant, were found savagely mutilated.

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: Her death was caused by multiple stab wounds, officials say,

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: but the most sickening detail was the deliberate evisceration. The

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: baby boy had been violently cut from her uterus and

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: was gone. The infant's body has yet to be found,

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: triggering a massive desperate search operation by the Wexford County

51
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Sheriff's Office. Authorities quickly focused on Rebecca's mom, Courtney Bartholomew forty,

52
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: and her husband, Bradley Bartholomew, forty seven. The couple were

53
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 3: arrested Monday following a tip that led detectives to unearthed

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: digital evidence of their horrific premeditation. During their arraignment, Prosecutor

55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Carrie laid bare the depraved allegations. Listen, these two individuals

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: created and plan conducted research.

57
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Miss bartholoing you brought Rebecca to their home, They forced

58
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: her into another vehicle and took her into the woods,

59
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: so they stamped her.

60
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: Forced her to lie on the ground while they cut

61
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: her baby out not only caused her death and the

62
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: depth of the baby, the couple allegedly used online searches

63
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: to study quote fetal extraction methods, end quote and remote

64
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: disposal sites to orchestrate the plot, though a motive, possibly

65
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: related to a recent two thousand dollars inheritance or family

66
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: resentment over the pregnancy, remains officially undisclosed. At the arraignment,

67
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: Stacy Davis Bradley, Bartholomew's estranged sister, told the media her

68
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: brother and Courtney had previously tried to have a baby

69
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: of their own, but they struggled to conceive. The Bartholomews

70
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: face a litany of felony counts, including first degree premeditated murder, torture,

71
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: unlawful imprisonment, assault with intent to cause miscarriage or stillbirth,

72
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: and conspiracy to commit murder. Bond was summarily denied for both.

73
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: The widening scandal also ensnared Rebecca's younger sister, Kimberly Park

74
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 3: twenty one, and her fiance, Richard Fowler, forty three, who's

75
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: a registered sex offen. The pair were detained on charges

76
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: of tampering with evidence, drug possession, and obstruction of justice.

77
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Prosecutors say the pair were complicit in the plot. They

78
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: helped scrub the crime scene and hid Rebecca's phone. Their

79
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: bail set at one million cash charity for Fowler and

80
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash surety for Park.

81
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: All four suspects are housed at the Wexford County Jail.

82
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: The Bartholomews are due back in court on December tenth.

83
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Investigators continue to comb the frozen woods for the remains

84
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: of Rebecca's missing boy. Authorities are urgently asking anyone with

85
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: information about the case to contact the Wexford County Sheriff's

86
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: Department tip line at two three one seven seven nine

Speaker 3: ninety nine twenty one.

88
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm Drew Nelson. A woman is pulled from a burning

89
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: row house in Massachusetts by a Good Samaritan utility worker

90
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 4: with a truck, moments before flames would overtake the very

91
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: spot she evacuated too. The rescue happened Monday afternoon at

92
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 4: forty seven Marion Street in Somerville. A three alarm fire

93
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: tore through a six unit building near Lincoln Park and

94
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: Wyatt Street. Fire officials said an electrical worker was already

95
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 4: working nearby when the fire broke out. Here is Fire

96
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: Chief Charles Breen.

97
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 5: Just Bryant's waur arrival an ever Source electric worker with

98
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: a bucket truck. He had rescued occupant out of the

99
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: second floor. She had climbed out a window onto the

100
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: front porch under heavy smoke and fire conditions.

101
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: The worker drove his bucket truck to the front of

102
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: the building and raised it to the awning where the

103
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: woman was trapped as firefighters were still on the way and.

104
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 5: The ever Source workup got her into the bucket. It

105
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 5: got hert of safety. So I'd like to really give

106
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: credit to that work up. He did a hell of

107
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 5: a job. Definitely saved the woman's life. She was in

108
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: a severe danger at the time.

109
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 4: No other injuries were reported.

110
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: The occupant that was rescued by the ever Source worker.

111
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: She has been transported to the hospital with smoking a leg.

112
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 4: Firefighters arrived just before one pm, cruise knocking the flames

113
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: down just before two thirty. The Cambridge Fire Department assisted

114
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: with the response and after the rescue, a different ever

115
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: Source worker returned to cut the power to the building

116
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: for safety. Neighbor all Yannic witnessed the rescue speaking to WCVB, I.

117
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Couldn't figure out why another truck was There are no

118
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: fire trucks for her yet.

119
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 5: I called nine one one and they said they're on

120
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: their way already.

121
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: The rescued woman was distraught and frantic that her dog

122
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: was still inside. Witnesses later confirmed the woman's dog did

123
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: not survive. Fire crews were able to contain the fire

124
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: to one unit, but all six units suffered smoke and

125
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: water damage and were left uninhabitable. The cause of the

126
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: fire remains under investigation. That utility worker spoke to WCVB

127
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: on condition of anonymity. He said he was working up

128
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the street when the smoke started billowing. He drove from

129
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: his work site, spotting the woman climbing out the window

130
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: to an awning just above the front entrance, extending his

131
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: cherry pick just in time.

132
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Parton. The judge in Kentucky has rejected a

133
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: request to dismiss the indictment against former Lecher County Sheriff

134
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Sean Steins, who is facing charges for the fatal shooting

135
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: of District Judge Kevin Mullins in September twenty twenty four.

136
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: Court documents indicate that the judge determined prosecutors acted appropriately

137
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: during the grand jury proceedings that resulted in Stein's indictment

138
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: in November. In a different ruling, the judge approved Stein's

139
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: request for a bond hearing, but turned down his motion

140
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: to include parts of the confidential psychological evaluation as evidence.

141
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: According to court records, Stein's defense team has previously indicated

142
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: that they will argue extreme emotional disturbance and insanity during

143
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: the trial. He is currently detained on murder charges, which

144
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: could lead to the death penalty. The incident allegedly occurred

145
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: on September nineteen, twenty twenty four, when Stein's shot and

146
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: killed Judge Mullins in his chambers. The event was recorded

147
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: on video, which was presented during Stein's preliminary hearing and

148
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: shown to the grand jury. The defense contends that the

149
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: prosecution provided false and misleading information to the grand jury,

150
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: particularly concerning Stein's mental health and his involvement in a

151
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: federal civil lawsuit against former Deputy Ben Fields. According to

152
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the defense, the defendant asserts that during the grand jury

153
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: session on November twenty one, the prosecutor elicited misleading testimony

154
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: that swayed the jury towards the murder indictment. As stated

155
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: in the court order, the defense emphasized that medical records

156
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: revealed Stein's had been diagnosed with an acute stress reaction

157
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: just a day prior to the shooting, and Joe records

158
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: noted instances of quote active psychosis during suicide risk assessments
