I can recall when that 42 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: was first raised as a defense in the Scott Peterson case, 43 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: that Scott Peterson had nothing to do with his pregnant wife, 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: Lacy's disapp parents that maybe some nefarious unknown woman had 45 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: kidnapped her and cut her womb open to steal the baby. 46 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: I totally pooh pooed it.

But still that thought stuck 51 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: in my mind. The crazy defense allegation by a great 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: trial lawyer, Mark Gary goes that some woman had stalked 53 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Lacy and stolen her baby from her stomach.

To doctor Jean gourney Act, renowned 99 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: a medical examiner, joining us today out of the Fulton 100 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: County jurisdiction, Doctor gourney att how long can a baby 101 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: survive inside the womb after mommy is dead. Oh well, 102 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: it depends, but I would say minutes, because once mom 103 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: blood supply stops, you know, supplying blood to the baby, 104 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: then the oxygen level is going to go down to 105 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: the baby. So it sounds like it wasn't an immediate death, 106 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: and that she probably was shocky, so she was going 107 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: into shocks and so when that happens, your body shunts 108 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: all the blood to the vital organs I either heart 109 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: in the brain, and so I would say that the 110 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: baby was still getting some blood flow in some oxygen. 111 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: But once the blood flow stops, then it's minute that 112 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: the baby has to survive, you know, forensic psychiatrist, And 113 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: boy do we need to shrink Doctor Daniel Bober joining me, 114 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Doctor Bober, I haven't even finished the fact scenario or 115 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: with John Linley, or the crime scene investigation with Joseph 116 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Scott Morgan. Like doctor Bober, how do you go from 117 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: wanting a baby to actually killing a woman, cutting her 118 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: stomach open as she is alive to take her baby. 119 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't understand that, thinking, well, you know, Nancy, some people, 120 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, have certain traits of their personality where if 121 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: they can't get what they want, then they're going to 122 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: make someone else suffer. So I've actually seen this before, 123 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: but it's almost incomprehensible. Jess got working with me Death 124 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: sing the investigator, professor forensics Jacksonville State University and author 125 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: of a book on Amazon, Blood Beneath My Fate.

I've got to get the crime scene because 130 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: that's critical, John Limley. So the story is the boyfriend 131 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: claims he walks in and finds the baby in the 132 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: bathtub in a blanket, and says, is the mom dead? 133 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: Because really, that's not what my reaction would have been. Right. 134 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: In fact, just moments after he sees this, she, as 135 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: we've heard, you know, ties the the rope around the 136 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: mom's neck and says, if she wasn't dead before, she 137 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: certainly is now. He also claimed, wait, wait, I'm sorry, 138 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: but I just can't hear those words without stopping because 139 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: I remember after case murder my fiance. I just felt 140 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: that this horrible act, this vicious act had occurred, and 141 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: nobody even stopped. The world just kept chugging right along. 142 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: I stopped for a moment. She wasn't and she is now. 143 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of barbarian animal? Savage says something 144 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: like that about a pregnant mom. And earlier we were saying, 145 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: why would you do this? We'll listen to this for 146 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: a little insight. Morgan says Cruise Misledhane for months, telling 147 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: him she was pregnant to keep him from leaving her. 148 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Morgan says there was no conspiracy to commit a murder 149 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: William Lovebrook.

You are hearing the host 172 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: of point of View, our friend Chris Burg talking with 173 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: Savannah's mother, Norberta gray Wind, talking about her daughter, Savannah, 174 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: who had been texting back and forth, back and forth, 175 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: back and forth until one thirty in the afternoon in Bam. 176 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: Then all the texting stopped. What happened? How did this 177 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: gorgeous young mom to be, Savannah gray Wind end up 178 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: wrapped in plastic in the Red River? Her torso totally 179 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: sliced open and her baby gone. John Linley Crime online 180 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter, I want to pick up right there, 181 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: why we believe that Savannah Gravewind was at Brooke Cruz's home. 182 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: Why was she there? Because she was a generous woman 183 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: from all accounts, as she had done many times before, 184 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: was agreeing to help out in neighbor. Savannah was going 185 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to help out a woman that lived in a third 186 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: floor unit, Apartment five of their same building. The woman 187 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: wanted to know if Savannah would model a dress that 188 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: she was sewing so that she could pin it. The 189 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: woman was Brooke Lynn Cruz, who lived there with her 190 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: boyfriend William Henry Hayne. Crews even offered Savannah twenty dollars 191 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: in return for her help, and Savannah agreed. Savannah went upstairs, 192 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: as we've discussed, around one thirty, but before going upstairs, 193 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: she ordered a pizza, so she must have thought she 194 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: was going to be right back just before going upstairs. 195 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: In addition to texting her mother, she texted her boyfriend 196 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: Ashton Meheeny, who was house sitting for his mother in 197 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: Grand Works, and these two texts would be the last 198 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: time that Savannah's family would ever hear from her. M 199 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: M M. So I keep thinking back about what happened 200 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: to Savannah gray Wind and why it happened, and the 201 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: baby being raised without a mother finding out your mom's 202 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: body was fished out of the Red River wrapped in 203 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: plastic to doctor Jane Gorniac, renowned medical examiner, joining me 204 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: out of the Fulton County jurisdiction. Doctor Gorneiac, there is 205 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: no indication that Savannah gray Wind had been sedated. Nothing. 206 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: And to have your stomach sliced open and your baby removed? 207 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: What would that do to a person that was not sedated? Oh, Nancy, 208 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: I can only imagine the pain level. So I know 209 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: there's some discussion on whether she was strangled first and 210 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: then had the decision me to remove the baby. So 211 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: I would believe that in order to hold someone down 212 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: enough without them fighting, and you know you're gonna fight 213 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: for your your kid. So I believe that the pain 214 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: level would have been excruciating if she had not been 215 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: in an unconscious state at some point, So she might 216 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: have been unresponsive yet not dead, but unresponsive, And so 217 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: that's why the incision could be made without Savanna's feeling 218 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: any some sort of pain. But if she's coming in 219 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: and out, she would feel something. And part of that 220 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: might be that pain can cause someone to go into 221 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: shock too, so that could have been a contributory factor 222 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: in her her going in and out of consciousness. But 223 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: I can only imagine you know, you cut your finger, 224 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, a knife. You know, you may not feel 225 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: it right away, but then all of a sudden when 226 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: you realize that that pain is there. So I can, 227 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: like I said, Nancy, that I believe and I hope 228 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: and I pray that she was unresponsive or unaware of 229 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: what was going on to her. Well, one thing I 230 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: want to ask you, and I've always wondered about this, 231 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: when you say the body goes into shock, what does 232 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: that mean exactly? Because going into shock and have so 233 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: many different results, like you can't remember what happened, you 234 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: can't act, some people freeze, some people power on and 235 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: they only break down after the incident. Or here you're 236 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: saying she couldn't maybe could not have felt what was 237 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: happening because your body was in shock. What does that mean? 238 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: Your body's in shock? Well, when I'm speaking from you know, 239 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: your body reacting. So when I use the word shock, 240 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm using that you're it's a multisystem failure. So you're 241 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: losing a lot of blood. So when you lose a 242 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: lot of blood, you go into shock because your vital 243 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: organs aren't getting enough oxygen. So if your body is 244 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: going into shock that way, it's going to shunt blood 245 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: someplace else. So therefore, or your your senses as in 246 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: to speak into you know, your brain, some things aren't 247 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: going to work because you want to preserve life. So 248 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: that's what I mean by shock. So someone loses a 249 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: lot of blood, you're losing oxygen, You're white organs aren't 250 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: going to function properly, right then you're going to shut 251 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: down and die that way. I understand when you're talking 252 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: about shock, like you see something and you're like you freeze. 253 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: That's that's different than what I'm talking about. Okay, so 254 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about physical shock where you're all the blood 255 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: and your body's rushing to the injured part of your 256 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: body and away from your brain. To Joseph Scott Morgan, 257 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: I think that was correct. Anyway, I'm just a JD. 258 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: You're the m D death an investigator with me, author 259 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: of Blood Beneath My Fate. Joseph Scott Morgan. You know what, 260 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: you're the death investigator. I hardly even know where to start. 261 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I bow to your greater knowledge. Just Scott Morgan, I 262 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: really seriously would have dislike me going to the medical 263 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: examiner's office or the crime lab. You tell me what 264 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: to ask first in front of this jury, because it's 265 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: so overwhelming. I really don't know exactly where to start. Yeah, 266 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: it is, Nancy, And I think that out of all 267 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: the cases that we covered, this is one of the 268 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: darker ones as far as I'm concerned. Uh. And keep 269 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: in mind, you know, in order to facilitate what this 270 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: this person did to this poor woman, she had to 271 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: use a particular instrumentality, uh, to to remove this body. 272 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, in the morgue and surgery sweets this sort 273 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: of thing, we have specific instruments that are utilized in 274 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: order to open bodies. Um. And I'm really curious what 275 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: did she use? I mean, and you know, what kind 276 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: of knife did she use? What kind of sharp, sharp 277 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: edged instrument did she use in order to to actually 278 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: remove this body? And no matter what you do in 279 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: this particular circumstance, remember there's there's about eight pints of 280 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: blood in the human body, there's going to be a 281 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: copious amount of blood at this scene. So I don't 282 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: you know, no matter how hard you try, you're not 283 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: going to be able to get this completely cleaned up. 284 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: The police, the man who talked about that there was 285 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: blood everywhere, Yeah, you're damn right, there would be blood everywhere. 286 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: And then to facilitate this in such a barbaric fashion 287 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: where they're actually removing this little angel from this this 288 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: woman's body is horrific. So at the scene, we would 289 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: think about things like, well, what kind of instrument did 290 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: they use in order to make this happen? Because right 291 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: now I'm you know, I'm kind of befuddled over this. 292 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: You know that they can think this far in advance. 293 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: This took some planning, and it would seem to me 294 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: that they drew this woman in. I'm saying they she 295 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: drew this woman in into this apartment, put her into 296 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: this position, right, and it's really curious as to what 297 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: the findings were at the autopsy. Well, I want you 298 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: to take a listen to Savannah's mom, nor Berta gray Wind, 299 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: speaking to our friend at point of view, Chris Burg. 300 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: This is her mom, nor Berta and her sister kill 301 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: the thing is she was a homebody. She was eight 302 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: months pregnant. You know, she was uncomfortable at that her 303 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: feet were swooning. That's she wouldn't leave anywhere. She always 304 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: got mad, I mean for leaving by myself. She would 305 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: never go anywhere alone. So was she at your house 306 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: at one thirty on Saturday? And she just left for 307 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: running hair in her Yes, she lives with me. Um. 308 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: She went to help a neighbor and right upstairs. That's 309 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: the last we've heard from her. Not nobody seen from her, 310 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: seeing her or heard from her since.

What's interesting, Nancy 353 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: is these two people were actually interviewed three times until 354 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: a fourth visit when they discover that there is a 355 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: newborn baby living in the house with Brooklyn Cruse and 356 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: William Henry Hayne. And it's at that point that they 357 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: have strong suspicions that this baby does not belong to them. Well, 358 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: according to Brooke Cruise, the upstairs neighbor, she had a 359 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: breakup with the boyfriend Haine in December, and then she 360 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: went so far as to email to him a phony, 361 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: a fake positive pregnancy test and a sonogram photo. I mean, 362 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: how in the world, to doctor Daniel Bober, a forensic psychiatrist, 363 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: how do you carry your roos so far that you 364 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: somehow come up with a fake sonogram and a fake 365 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: positive pregnancy test, because she claimed that Cruz told her 366 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: that he didn't believe she was pregnant and said she 367 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: quote needed to produce a baby, and so instead of 368 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: breaking up with him or trying to get pregnant if 369 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: you want to stay in that kind of relationship, her 370 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: idea as to kill somebody and get their baby. How 371 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: do you go so far in a delusion that you 372 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: think it's okay to fake a sonogram in an email? 373 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: In this case is incomprehensible from the first details. I mean, 374 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: it's such an unrealistic planet. It makes no sense. But 375 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: you know, you see this in relationships, especially unhealthy relationships, 376 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: where one partner will lie and deceive to manipulate the 377 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: other one. But to think that this plant had any 378 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: chance of being successful is just it's beyond comprehension. I'm 379 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: taking a look right now at the sonogram that she 380 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: sent from Sanford Medical Center sent him a photo of 381 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: these sonograms to Joseph Scott, Morgan death investigator, author of 382 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet Joe Scott, How the heck do 383 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: you get ahold of a fake sonogram? I guess find 384 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: one online and cut and paste and send it. Is 385 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: that how you think that would work? Yeah? Absolutely, Nancy. 386 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: I mean think about social media. Every time somebody goes 387 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: for a wellness check up this sort of thing, they 388 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: post these images all over the place, so yeah, it'd 389 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: be readily accessible. She could just pull one off the 390 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: Internet and send it off. Take a listen to this. 391 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I know the cops are just like kicking themselves over this. 392 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: When Savannah went missing, there were massive searches for her, 393 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: and later Brook crews revealed this is the female upstairs 394 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: neighbor that during one of the searches, they actually came 395 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: to their apartment and they had hidden Savannah's body in 396 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: the bathroom closet and the baby was covered up next 397 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: to Hayne on a bed as the cops walked right 398 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: by the scheming. As a matter of fact, the family 399 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: was beside themselves regarding the searches for Savannah. Take a 400 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: listen to Angie McCall at w Day TV News Fargo, listen, 401 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel the Farrego Police Department has done enough. 402 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: By day five, what was a community wine search turned 403 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: into a state and wide effort. The Grand Forks Police 404 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Department started going door to door, even the Firego Fire 405 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: Department began searching the Red River every day. Then day six, Thursday, 406 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: a newborn baby was found in her apartment building where 407 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: Savannah was last seemed the couple who had the b 408 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: are arrested.

You're hearing Angeline McCall at w 414 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: DAYTV and she is speaking with Niberta gray Wind, Savannah's mom. So, 415 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: John Linley, why is the family dissatisfied with the job 416 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: that they say the cops did or didn't do? What 417 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: happened there just didn't seem to be any traction, even 418 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: though there were so many suspicions, and hello, the body's 419 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: in an apartment upstairs, Hey, ding dingy, exactly, and even 420 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: all of the trail, even from the very beginning from 421 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: the from the family's standpoint, seemed to lead right up 422 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: to the third floor of that apartment because of the 423 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: last moments that they knew of their daughter being alive. Oh, 424 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: it is just it is just hurting me to Joseph 425 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: Scott more gonna do you remember the case out of gosh, 426 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: let me think of it's going to come to me 427 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: in Florida. I always called her the girl with a 428 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: pink hat, Jesse, Jessica, that was her name. And she 429 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: was taken by a sex predator and he was about say, 430 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: fifty feet catty corner to Jesse's home, and the cops 431 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: even came to the home and she the little girl 432 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: victim had been stashed in the closets, still alive, and 433 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: was later buried alive. I mean, I feel like the 434 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: cops dropped the ball. But it hurts me to blame 435 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: the cops. They're not the killers, No, they're not. And 436 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: you can't you can't predict what these people are going 437 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: to do when they're in these frenzied states like this. Uh, 438 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: we've we've already got great deception on her part where 439 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: she's portraying this as her as her child. Uh. And 440 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: and this is this goes to the heart of it. Uh. 441 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're right there there with in there 442 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: within your sphere. And I think that that's what strikes 443 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: fear into the hearts of everybody in this town that's 444 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: surrounding this. This happened in among them, and that's what 445 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: makes it so horrific. Nancy, I remember now it was 446 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: Jessica Lunford and the little girl was held about seriously, 447 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: like fifty feet away. To doctor Daniel Bober, forensic psychiatrist. 448 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: When we the public or family members, like in this 449 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: case with Savannah Graywin, find out that the person, either 450 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: alive or debt, is just within a hundred yards of 451 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: the spot of their disappearance, it's so upsetting and frustrating 452 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: and it's hard to deal with that, doctor Bober. Yes, 453 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, you know, you see these cases 454 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: where people disappear, and to think that the body has 455 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: sound so close to the spot of the original disappearance 456 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: is just heartbreaking.

We can use 501 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 1: things to illuminate the blood, like gluminol to make it 502 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: come forth where they have attempted to clean it up. 503 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: I've even been on scenes Nancy where you can actually 504 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,239 Speaker 1: see where the blood has been wiped away by an 505 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: individual in an attempt. You apply a luminol to that 506 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: area and you can actually see the white on the 507 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: floor where they've attempted to clean it up. So the 508 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 1: blood is the big tail here those things that are 509 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: left behind, and also also what's going to be key 510 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: is could they determine an instrumentality of death such as 511 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: a noose that may have been used to affect the 512 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: strangulation and also what type of instrument was used to 513 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: open this poor woman up. Luminol is a chemical and 514 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: it shows an illuminescence. That's where you get the name illuminole. 515 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: Illuminate a blue type of a glow. And when you 516 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: spray luminol across an area, trace amounts of a so 517 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: called activating oxidant make the luminole blue like a blue light, 518 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: like those glow sticks. That's what it looks like. Now, 519 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: the glow will only last about thirty seconds, but you 520 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: can document it with photos, you can reapply it. It's 521 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: got to be applied evenly to avoid confusing results. Blood 522 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: traces appear more concentrated in some areas that receive more spray, 523 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: so it has to be very evenly done. If it 524 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: glows more intensely in one spot, that does not indicate 525 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: the amount of blood, but really only how much luminol 526 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: you've sprayed there. So it takes a real expert to 527 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: use luminol. Joseph Scott Morgan. How is it done? How 528 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: is it sprayed onto the surface. Well, most of the time, Nancy, 529 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: it comes prepackaged. Now, luminol. A lot of people, you know, 530 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: just think about luminol and they think, oh, well, this 531 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: is kind of a benign substance. Actually it's not a 532 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: real stable substance that can be dangerous. They are people 533 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: that have put theirselfs in danger mixing the stuff up. 534 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: So now it kind of comes pre packaged, but it's 535 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: applied through a pump spray over a significant area and 536 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: you want to try to cover you're absolutely right when 537 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: you say you have to be an expert at this. 538 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: Not only do you have to be an expert at 539 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: applying the luminole, you have to be an expert with 540 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: alternative lighting sources as well as photography. So this is 541 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: not just like a single person operation. There has to 542 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: be several hands on deck in order to facilitate capturing 543 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: this thing, because it is a moment in Tom that 544 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: you have to snap at that moment in Tom and 545 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: get those images. And BOYD does it demonstrate well in 546 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: court when you apply that oh you know it to 547 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: John Lemley, Crimeline dot Com investigative reporter. What do we 548 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: know if anything about a murder weapon? It's from Crewe's 549 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: own testimony. With Savannah lying on the floor, Crews testified 550 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: that she grabbed a small razorblade, either a carpenter's knife 551 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: or a boxcutter from the kitchen and sliced open Savannah's abdomen, 552 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: taking the baby out of the wound as Savannah was 553 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: drifting in and out of consciousness. And this matches up 554 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: with what investigators discovered when the body was taken in 555 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: or autopsy. There was a crude c section with a 556 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: cut from hip to hip where the baby had been 557 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: taken out. I guarantee you if you look at her 558 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: computer search as you'll find how to do a C section. 559 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the so called neighbor brook Cruise listen. 560 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: In February second, twenty eighteen, crews learned she will die 561 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: in prison for killing Savannah. She is sentenced to life 562 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: without parole. So I wish I haven't done us. There 563 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: is an old excuse and as hazy Chail was being 564 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: born on August nineteen, twenty seventeen, she was taking her 565 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: first bets as her taking her last. As brook Cruise 566 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: knows her fate, William Haye maintains his innocence. You're hearing 567 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: our friend Angelie McCall at w day, brook Lynn Cruise 568 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: pleads guilty to three charges gets life without parole. I 569 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: guess she did. I mean, at one moment, you don't 570 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: have a baby and you're faking a sonogram. In the 571 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: next moment, you have a baby. At first, they tried 572 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: some cockamamie story that Savannah Graywyn had given them the 573 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: baby and wanted them to take care of it. That 574 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 1: was all b as. And you may be wondering about 575 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: the boyfriend that claims he had nothing to do with it. 576 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: Listen either jury Juliam Handel had sworn in the above 577 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: entitled action do find the defendant, William Henry Hane not 578 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: guilty of a cry of conspiracy tin it murder.

The greatest disappointment for me in this case, 584 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: and I would assume for the family, is that this young, 585 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: beautiful man no longer exists, and the people who did 586 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: this to her, although one is serving a life sentence 587 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: and one has pled guilty to some other things, how 588 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: do you ever vindicate that?
