1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, welcome the Monday's Morbid Minute. This is your

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: quick rundown of the week's most fascinating stories involving death, disease,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: medicine and injury, making headlines and rippling through the pop culture.

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: We'll tease the cases here, then do a deep dive

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: into the pathology, forensics, and medical mysteries later in our

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Normal Mother Knows Death episodes, in articles over in the

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Grosser Room, and during our weekly YouTube live bonus episode

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: exclusively for Grossroom members. If it's dark, disturbing, medically bizarre,

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: or just too good not to dissect, you'll hear it

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: first on Monday's Morbid Minute. Okay, let's start off with

11
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: some true crime in court cases. The search for a

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: missing eighty four year old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today's

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has now entered its third week

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and remains one of the most closely watched active investigations

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: in the country. Nancy was last seen the night of

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: January thirty first, twenty twenty six, after being dropped off

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: at her home in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson, Arizona.

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: She was reported missing the following day, very Early in

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: the investigation, authorities said the case was being treated as

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: a suspected abduction. Blood matching Nancy's DNA was found on

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: her front porch, along with unidentified DNA at the scene,

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: immediately raising concerns that she may have been taken against

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: her will. Surveillance footage from her doorbell camera also captured

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: a masked individual with what appeared to be a holstered

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: handgun outside of the home around the time she disappeared.

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Since then, investigators have been working through thousands of tips.

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: The FBI has assigned hundreds of personnel and increased the

28
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: reward for information to one hundred thousand dollars. Family members,

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: including Savannah Guthrie, have issued emotional public please stressing that

30
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Nancy has limited mobility and depends on her daily medication.

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: The most significant recent development involves physical evidence recovered near

32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: the home. Investigators collected multiple gloves from the surrounding area,

33
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: but one glove found roughly two miles away appears consistent

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: with those worn by the mass suspect scene on video.

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: The FBI as confirmed the glove contains a distinct DNA

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: profile believed to belong to the suspect, with database comparisons underway.

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: Authorities are now using high tech tools, including bluetooth scanning,

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: to try to locate Nancy's pacemaker signal, which reportedly disconnected

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: from her phone around two thirty am on February first.

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Moving on to other news, we have a story we

41
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: have been talking about over the past few weeks involving

42
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: a thirty two year old mother of two who was

43
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: found dead inside a walk in freezer at a Dollar

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: Tree store. Medical examiner has now ruled her cause of

45
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: death as environmental hypothermia with alcohol intoxication as a contributing factor.

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: According to investigators, surveillance showed she entered the store the

47
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: day before, went into an employee only freezer area on

48
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: her own, and remained there overnight. Authorities say there was

49
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: no evidence of foul play. Toxicology revealed her blood alcohol

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: level was zero point one one two percent, which is

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: above the legal driving limit. Her family has now filed

52
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollar wrongful death lawsuit against Dollar Tree.

53
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: The lawsuit states the Dollar Tree was negligent and failing

54
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: to prevent the woman from accessing the store's freezer, and

55
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: that the store manager was notified that the woman was

56
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: missing and had not exited the store. Police have arrested

57
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old Terrell Campbell in connection with the

58
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: horrific twenty twenty one acid attack on Hofstra student Nofia

59
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Akrem in Elmont, Long Island. Back in twenty twenty one,

60
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: a hooded attacker ran up behind Akrem in her driveway

61
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and threw a cup of acid into her face before fleeing.

62
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: The injuries were devastating. She suffered permanent vision loss in

63
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: one eye, severe facial burns, throat damage, and has had

64
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: multiple surgeries. Prosecutors say the suspect was ultimately linked through

65
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: surveillance video, a red Nissan Ultima, incriminating internet searches, and unbelievably,

66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: a rap video he allegedly posted bragging about an acid attack.

67
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.

68
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: If convicted, he could face up to twenty five years

69
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: in prison. A disturbing case out of Ohio, a mother

70
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: has been arrested after hospital staff at Nationwide Children's Hospital

71
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: allegedly observed her injecting fecal material into her child's IV line. Yes,

72
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: you heard me, she put poop in her child's ivy line.

73
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: According to reports, staff became suspicious and later reviewed surveillance

74
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: that allegedly showed her entering a bathroom with a coup,

75
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: drawing material into a syringe and injecting it into the

76
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: ivy tubing. She has been charged with child in dagment

77
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: and is currently prohibited from unsupervised contact with minors. In

78
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: New Jersey, a former high school English teacher has been

79
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: sentenced to ten years in prison for pleading guilty to

80
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: sexually abusing two male students. Prosecutors said Julie Rossettio began

81
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: grooming one victim when he was just a freshman in

82
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and engaged in repeated sexual encounters. She later

83
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: became pregnant by the teen after unprotected sex, and told

84
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: him she terminated the pregnancy, which the court noted cause

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: significant psychological harm. Authorities described the conduct as textbook grooming

86
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: and said she also abused a second student. We're also

87
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: watching a major tech story that could have wide ranging

88
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: implications for social media companies and young users. A landmark

89
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: trial is now underway in Los Angeles accusing Meda and

90
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Google's YouTube of deliberately designing their platforms to be addictive

91
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: to children. The case centers on a now twenty year

92
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: old woman identified in court as KGM, who alleges she

93
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: began using YouTube at age six and Instagram at age nine,

94
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: and that the platforms worsen her depression and suicidal thoughts.

95
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Plaintiffs argue features like infinite scroll likes and algorithmic feeds

96
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: were engineered to exploit children's psychological vulnerabilities and keep them

97
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: engaged for profit. Meta and YouTube strongly deny the claims.

98
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: During testimony, Instagram chief Adam Missari said that he does

99
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: not believe social media called clinical addiction, instead describing heavy

100
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: use as problematic use and emphasized he is not medically

101
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: trained to define addiction. The companies argue the plaintiff's mental

102
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: health struggles stem from other life factors, not platform design.

103
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: At the same time, separate testimony out of New Mexico

104
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: is adding fuel to the fire. A former Meta executive

105
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: and internal documents presented in court claimed large numbers of

106
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: miners were being exposed to sexual predators on Instagram and Facebook,

107
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: with warnings allegedly raised inside of the company years earlier.

108
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: According to reports, internal research suggested hundreds of thousands of

109
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: children per day were receiving inappropriate sexual messages in English

110
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: speaking markets. Meta has responded that it is committed to

111
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: child safety and that the internal discussions show the company

112
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: was actively working on the problem. Another deeply disturbing case

113
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: involves the death of an eight year old Meal and Miller.

114
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Her adoptive mother, Mandy Miller, has been sentenced to thirty

115
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: two years in prison after pleading guilty to homicide by

116
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: abuse and related charges. Prosecutors say the child endured months

117
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: of abuse, starvation, and restraint before dying in September of

118
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Authorities later discovered her body in a

119
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: coffin inside of a U haul trailer when Miller and

120
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: her boyfriend attempted to arrange a burial without proper documentation.

121
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: At the time of the discovery, the child weighed only

122
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: twenty six pounds. Investigators said the couple admitted they kept

123
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the body for months because they quote wanted to spend

124
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: more time with her. In New Mexico, a woman has

125
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: been charged after police said she gave birth in a

126
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: porta potty and left the newborn in the holding tank,

127
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: where the infant died. Hospital staff alerted police after she arrived,

128
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: appearing to have just delivered a baby without a baby.

129
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: Investigators later found the new newborn girl dead inside the

130
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: portable toilet. Her cause of death was drowning. A development

131
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: and unsettling case. Out of Long Island, police searching for

132
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: a missing sixty three year old grandmother, Kathleen Harrison Trent,

133
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: instead discovered the body of an unidentified woman in a

134
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: wooded area. Authorities say preliminary evidence suggests that death is

135
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: criminal in nature, and homicide detectives are now investigating, while

136
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: the identity and cause of death await autopsy results. Trent

137
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: herself still remains missing. Okay now onto pop culture and

138
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: celebrity news. Actor James Vanderbeek, best known for his role

139
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: as Dawson Leary on Dawson's Creek, has died at the

140
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: age of forty eight following a battle with colorectal cancer.

141
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: His diagnosis had been made public in twenty twenty four. Meanwhile,

142
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: the long debated death of Kurt Cobaine is circulating in

143
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: headlines again after reports that a group of independent forensic

144
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: reviewers ai they see inconsistencies in the original suicide rolling. Importantly,

145
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: there has been no official change to Cobain's manner of death,

146
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: which remains rolled a suicide by the King County Medical

147
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Examiner's Office. Cases like this often resurface in cycles online,

148
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: but as of now, there is no new, verified forensic

149
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: determination overturning the original findings. Of course, we are going

150
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: to have more to say about Kurt Cobain in the

151
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: coming weeks, on Mother No's death and in the gross Room.

152
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: In reality television news, a contestant from Love Is Blind

153
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: Season ten, identified as Elissa, reportedly required medical attention after

154
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: accidentally getting now glue in her eye after mistaking it

155
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: for eye drops. There is also a serious medical privacy

156
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: concern emerging out of Michigan. A British social media personality

157
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,200
