Speaker 1: I have an all star panel to figure out what

26
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: happened to baby iris Rita. But first I'm going to

27
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: go to two very special guests joining us, Candace and

28
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Frank Alfara. This is the grandma and the granddad of

29

Speaker 1: baby Iris. Mister and miss Alfara. Thank you for being

30
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: with us. To you, oh, thank you, Miss Alfara. Do

31
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: you remember the moment that you learned baby iris Rita

32
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: was dead.

33
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I was holding her hand in the hospital with

34
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: my daughter. We sat for four days, praying and praying

35
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: that she would open her eyes. If they said her

36
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: brain was too injured and her organs were selling and

37
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: there was no chance of her surviving.

38
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: My daughter, I.

39
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: Had to choose to stop life support.

40
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Mister Alpharah, where were you at that moment? Frank?

41
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: I was right there too, in the hospital with her,

42
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: talking to her and trying to get at a respond

43
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: that I knew that she wasn't. She wasn't she was dead.

44
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: I knew it. I just just tried to get her

45
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: to respond and nothing happened.

46
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: We never left for four days, not for no, no,

47
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: we didn't.

48
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: You're reminding me of two moments in life. One standing

49
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: with my dad, holding on to him as he passed away,

50
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: and everyone was saying, you can go, feel free, go

51
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: to heaven, and I was literally whispering in his ear,

52
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: don't go, don't leave me. You can you can make

53
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: it comeback, you can do this. And then the horrible

54
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: time I couldn't be with my fiance when he was murdered,

55
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and by the time I knew anything, it was over.

56
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: And I can't even decide which one was worse. But

57
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: I do know this, you are here. The distraught grandparents

58
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: of baby Iris reached to Alfara, who were there with

59
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: her when she died. This baby did not have to die.

60
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: This did not have to happen. The baby airlifted to

61
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. Doctors doing all they could do.

62
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: But what do we learn when doctors try to determine

63
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: why did baby Iris die Listen.

64
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: An autopsy was performed the day after Iris Alfara passes,

65
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: and the results are shocking. The cause of death of

66
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: eighteen month old Iris rita alphara acetone poisoning, which caused

67
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 5: the organ failure. Medical experts who examine the baby's body

68
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 5: conclude that the child was exposed to acetone just before

69
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: her hospitalization. Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry's office issued a

70
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 5: statement that the medical examiner determined that the child's death

71
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: was the result of fatal levels of acetone in her

72
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: blood at the time of death.

73
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: Joining us in addition to the grandparents of baby Iris,

74
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Candice and Frank, who were with her four straight days

75
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: praying that Iris could rebound, holding her little body as

76
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: she passed on to heaven. Doctor William Marony, renowned expert

77
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: medical examiner, toxicologist, pathologist, author of American Narcan. Doctor Maroney,

78
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. What is acetone?

79
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 6: Axotone is a solvent. It's used in a lot of

80
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: chemical processes and it's a metabolic byproduct. But there's one

81
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 6: thing we never have.

82
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 7: Axotone is never in food.

83
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 6: Acotone is never supposed to be ingested it's toxic.

84
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 7: It's neurotoxic.

85
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: It goes to the brain, it goes to the nerves,

86
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 6: it shut saw body functions, and it's so toxic that

87
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 6: we don't measure it in milligrams. We measure it in

88
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 6: parts per million because it can become toxic as a vapor,

89
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 6: so to drink a liquid is even worse. It's acute,

90
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 6: and it does damage that is irreversible and unlike a

91
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 6: poison that may be an opioid and you have a

92
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 6: reversal agent like narcan, there is no reversal agent, especially

93
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: in a delicate eighteen month old baby that still doesn't

94
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 6: have the functional vital capacity to repair like an adult.

95
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 7: It's neuro toxic.

96
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: It'll damage the heart, it'll damage eyes, it'll damage lungs,

97
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 6: it'll damage the liver, but it damages the brain.

98
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: For doctor Maroney, how many children do you have?

99
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: Well, five, but two biological. I have some other like

100
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 6: you know, adopted kind of.

101
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they were eighteen months old? Oh yeah,

102
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: that was actually one of my favorite times with the twins.

103
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: They were learning. It took them longer to learn to

104
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: walk because they were so so so premature, but they

105
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: were learning to walk and Lucy would crawl on one

106
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: leg and drag the other leg to her side. She

107
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: kind of went sideways like a crab. And at eighteen months,

108
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: we were teaching them to walk, and it was one

109
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: of the most wonderful times of my life. Candaceel Ferrah

110
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: tell me about Iris at eighteen months.

111
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: At eighteen months, Iris's mama todd her spine language because

112
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: she talked a lot. She said a lot of words

113
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: that she'd have sentences yet, so Iris knew any sign

114
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: language that there was to know her mother was so amazing.

115
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: I used to tell my daughter how proud I was

116
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: of her for being the best mother. I could imagine

117
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: she'd sit with that baby and she'd tell her cookie cookie,

118
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: and she would do the sign language for it, and

119
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: that baby picked up on everything. I have a video

120
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: of her walking towards her mother at Christmas. She was

121
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: opening gifts. She saw Santa's cookies since she was going

122
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: to bite one and em didn't want her to eat it.

123
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: So she's walking towards her mom and she's signing to

124
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: her mother.

125
00:09:48,600 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Al my Stars Prime Stories with Nancy Grace. You know,

126
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm curious about something, Doctor William Moroney said, renown medical examiner.

127
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: You said that acetone is toxic even as a vapor,

128
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about something, doctor Moroney. I usually don't

129
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: do my nails, okay, because when I was a child lawyer,

130
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was too flashy to have long painted

131
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: nails in front of a jury. And I know, call

132
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: it crazy, but that's what I thought. But I've been

133
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: in nail salon's and there have been times I've had

134
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to actually leave because I felt like I couldn't breathe right,

135
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if that's acetone or like when you

136
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: take off if I take off Lucy's fingernail polish my daughter.

137
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to step back from it because it's

138
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: so overwhelming to me.

139
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: Yes, and neurotoxic accumulate because it doesn't exit the body

140
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 6: right away, and it does your thinking and the brain

141
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 6: controls how you breathe, so it stops normal breathing and heartbeats,

142
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: but it damages the brain at a level that you

143
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 6: can understand if I had to give a different example,

144
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 6: if you took a gallon of Ever Clearer vodka and

145
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 6: forced that a one year old, that's the amount of

146
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 6: damage from alcohol. The damage from acetone. It's the same thing.

147
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: What led up to this? Take a listen to our

149
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 8: During a weekend visitation at her father's house, Bailey Jacoby

150
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 8: goes to the grocery store, leaving Iris with his living girlfriend,

151
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 8: Alicia Owens. As he is preparing to check out at

152
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 8: the grocery store, Alicia Owens calls to Kobe and tells

153
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 8: him that something is wrong with Iris. She isn't acting

154
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 8: like herself. She is unresponsive. Kobe tells Owens to call

155
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 8: nine one one, and he rushes out of the grocery store,

156
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 8: leaving his groceries at the checkout line.

157
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 9: Owens was feeding Iris and the baby appeared to have

158
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 9: cramped up and fell off the bed. She said she

159
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 9: was in nursing training and she tried to perform chess compressions.

160
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 9: She called Jacoby and he told her to call nine

161
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 9: one one.

162
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Joining us now is Alexis tereschut. Crime online dot Com

163
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: investigative reporter Alexis, Wait a minute, are you telling me

164
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: the live in Alicia Owens is in nurse training. Yeah,

165
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: but I don't understand Alexis to reest shut because if

166
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: she is in nursing training and the baby cramps up

167
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: and falls off the bed and is unresponsive. Why does

168
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: she have to call the boyfriend to have him tell

169
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: her to call nine one one?

170
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 10: So she was only the mattress where she fell off

171
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 10: the bed, It was only six inches off the floor.

172
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 10: And then she said she started doing chess compressions because

173
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 10: the baby wasn't breathing. So then she panished and called

174
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 10: the baby's father and that he's the one that told her.

175
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 10: So she didn't even think to call nine on one.

176
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 10: She called him first.

177
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: That just right there doesn't make sense to me. Larry

Speaker 1: Former law enforcement Larry right there, if she is training

182
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: to be a nurse, the first thing you do is

183
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: called nine one one. I wouldn't try to hunt down

184
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: days and go, wow, what do you think I should do?

185
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: My baby's unresponsive and she fell off the bed. What

186
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: do you think?

187
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: Oh?

188
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: Hell none? You call nine one one right? Then?

189
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: That is so strong, so bad that the baby didn't

190
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: have a chance from right right then as soon as

191
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,640

194
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Crime Boss podcast. Jared, thank you for being with us.

195
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I've prosecuted a lot of cases where children have been killed.

196
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: A lot of times. We've seen cases where children pick

197
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: something up and eat it. How many times do we have, Oh,

198
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: this child picked up a pot brownie at school and

199
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: ate it, or this or that. I find it really

200
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: hard to believe that an eighteen month old is a

201
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: going to get access to something like fingernail polish that's

202
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be out of their reach. But b even

203
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: if they get it, they're gonna not only take a

204
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: sent but continue drinking it. It kind of taste horrible.

205
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 11: Nancy, this is a highly suspicious situation. A child of

206
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 11: eighteen months would certainly reject acetone and just to be

207
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 11: exposed at that level, this would certainly jump right out

208
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 11: at the medical treaters. And it's highly vicious, and the

209
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 11: explanation and the description given to this point would really

210
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 11: draw these suspicions of the treaters at this point.

211
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: Alexis, tereschak, you're raising a wonderful little boy. And I

212
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: discussed this with you. When it happened is before you

213
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: had your baby. I was giving John David a bath

214
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: and I turned around. I had him laying on the

215
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: bed to put lotion on him. I turned around to

216
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: get a towel. He fell off the bed and it

217
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: was high up. It was a good two feet off

218
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: the ground or three. And I did not call David

219
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: and say, wow, what should I do? I mean, John

220
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: David cried for a minute, then he acted normal. I

221
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: picked him up, wrapped him up in a towel, butt naked,

222
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: and ran ran out onto the street at somewhere along

223
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: First Avenue and started screaming for a cab. All right,

224
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: went straight to the doctor. I did not learn my lesson, Alexis.

225
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: About three weeks later, I did the same thing. I

226
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: turned around one minute to get the lotion for Lucy.

227
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: She fell off the bed, same scenario. My point is,

228
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: it's not making sense to me. I don't believe a

229
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: baby it might pick something up and take a bite,

230
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: but if it tastes bad, they'll just spit it out.

231
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: They won't keep drinking, chugging, then you know polish remover.

232
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 10: No, you can't even get a baby eat broccoli, much

233
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 10: less drink. See you nail polish Removerhe this is absolutely

234
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 10: not the truth about how this child ingested the poison.

235
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: And this is what is really Okay, it's all upsetting,

236
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: but this, this is gonna blow your head off. There

237
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: were warning signs. Listen to Dave mac crime online dot com.

238
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: Iris Rita Alfara is a bubbly active toddler. She loves

239
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 5: watching Miss Rachel on YouTube and has even learned some

240
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: sign language while watching the program. When iris mother me Emily,

241
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: is changing her diver see some water beads and gets concerned.

242
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: Emily takes Iris to the hospital, where doctors watch over

243
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: the little girl. Over the next few days, she passes

244
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 5: about twenty water beads. She also passes three button shaped

245
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: batteries and a metal screw. After four days, Emily is

246
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 5: able to take Iris home.

247
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: What is a water bead? Who knows? What is a

248
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: water bead? Anybody jump in? What is a water bead?

249
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 4: It's a little thing that kids play with. They're really small.

250
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: They start out about the size of your finger nail.

251
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: But then when they hit water, they expand, and she

252
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: probably wanted her to hurt her and her digestive system

253
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: when they all expanded, but the baby passed them out.

254
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on just a minute. I'm looking them up

255
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: right now. Water beads. What do you do with them, Alexis.

256
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 10: You play with them in the bathtub. You put your

257
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 10: baby in the bathroom. My son loved them.

258
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: Wait, they look like the baby would want to eat them.

259
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 10: Well, I think, to me, eighteen months is too young

260
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 10: for them, It really, really is.

261
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they look like candy. They kind of look

262
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: like grapes.

263
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 10: They do exactly. They look like candy. But you put

264
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 10: them in the water and they play, and you're right there,

265
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 10: you sit there in the back. You never let your

266
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 10: child be alone in the bathtub.

267
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: I think that's a bad idea. I'm just putting it

268
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: out there about water beads. Come on, doctor Maroney, back

269
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: me up on this. They're tempting. They look like something yummy.

270
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but I would never give an eighteen month

271
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: old water beads. Oh no, she SAIDs would be too young,

272
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 4: eighteen months old to play with, even if you're standing

273
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 4: even if you're standing there watching her.

274
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: Agree Elysis Reshak, I understand twenty water beads. She poopied

275
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: twenty water beads and three batteries and a metal screw

276
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: that I get that.

277
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 4: Right, exactly right.

278
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 10: The water beads, well, okay, so water beads are going

279
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 10: to be soft, right, they're like little jell as you said,

280
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 10: they're like a grape. A battery, even if it's little,

281
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 10: is hard. She's a tiny child. This is not something

282
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 10: that she would have just picked up off the ground

283
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 10: and eaten on her own and then thought, let me

284
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 10: have another battery.

285
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: Those were so tasty.

286
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 10: This is not something that she would have done organically.

287
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 10: And all these are hard substances.

288
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Candace Alfara, how big was the screw that Iris passed?

289
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: It was a.

290
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: Little like attacking screw? What attacking screw.

291
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: Doctor William Roney? Attacking screw? What could that and batteries

292
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: do to a child? Now? I understand the water beads

293
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: are full of water, so unless you choke on it,

294
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to kill you. But what does all

295
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: this do to the baby's system?

296
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 7: What's really important is that batteries contain heavy metals and acids,

297
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 7: and it would eat away inside and cause erosion in

298
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 7: the gi track and internal bleeding. That's the exact same

299
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 7: thing a screw would do. They're trying to cause bleeding

300
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 7: inside the baby and toxic elements from a battery inside

301
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 7: the baby. That's some kind of homicide by proxy or something.

302
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: Guys, right there, right there, don't you agree, you're at Farantino.

303
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: There should have been a major investigation about why the

304
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: baby is eating water, beads and screws. I mean, even

305
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: if no one fed that to her, still there's something

306
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: very wrong that she's getting access to this kind of

307
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: material and can ingest it.

308
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 11: Nancy, any one of these items, the or beat, water beats,

309
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 11: the screw, or the button sized battery should trigger the

310
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 11: suspicions of the medical providers when Emily discovered them in

311
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 11: her diape. All three together, there is no natural explanation

312
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 11: for why these would end up in Iris's digestional track

313
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 11: and her diaper. It's just absolutely should have spawned an

314
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 11: investigation and the suspicions of everyone and Nancy.

315
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: Hospital staff.

316
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 12: They are mandated reporters, you know, the nurses, the doctors

317
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 12: in person that in a hospital room and came into

318
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 12: contact with that baby was a mandated reporter. So I'm

319
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 12: curious was a child abuse report filed at that time?

320
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 12: Because hospitals, especially children's hospital, they are very used to

321
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 12: filing reports. Excuse me, they are very used to filing

322
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 12: reports because they see child abuse cases all the time.

323
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 12: So I'm wondering what happened at this point with in

324
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 12: terms of filing.

325
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering that too. You're hearing doctor Bethany Marshall, renowned

326
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: psycho analysts, joining us out of LA. You can find

327
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: her at doctor Bethanymarshall dot com. So I'm curious and

328
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: everybody about those water beads. Remember one of you mentioned

329
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning, I think it was you, Alexis They expand,

330
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: so you swallow one, it expands in your body. I

331
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: can't imagine this child having swallowed twenty of these things

332
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: and nobody noticed. Then batteries, then a screw. So what happened? Listen?

333
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: After the incident with Iris ingesting waterbeads, batteries, and a screw,

334
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania Child Youth Services CYS inspects the home of both

335
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: parents and, according to Newsweek, finds no issue at either residence.

336
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: Iris lives with her mother full time, but she continues

337
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: to visit her dad at his house where Bailey Jacobi

338
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: lives with his girlfriend, Alicia Linney Owens.

339
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 1: Okay, back to the grandparents, Candice and Frank Alfara, missus Alfara,

340
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: when she had ingested water beads batteries at a screw.

341
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: Who had she been with?

342
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: She was with her father Wednesday night and she started

343
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 3: parenting them Thursday afternoon.

344
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: Okay, and yet what do they do? They send the baby,

345
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: this beautiful defenseless baby Iris right back to the home

346
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: with the dad and the live in. I'll slung up

347
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: with him and she dies. Where the chl is the investigation?

348
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: What happened to Deepak's department, Family Children's Services or CPS

349
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: CHOPD Protective Services? Why did they send her right back

350
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: into the lions den? And now she's dead. It's not

351
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: the first time does the name Josh Powell ring a bell?

352
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: Because I will never forget it. Take a listen to

353
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: the social worker that led his two children right up

354
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: to his front door before they were murdered by an

355
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: axe and the house blew up. Everybody knew he had

356
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: killed his wife, Susan Cox killed her, never found a body.

357
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: So what does defects. Do oh, they make sure the

Speaker 1: to think now gat bleen and he won't let me in.

362
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,760

Speaker 13: He won't let you out of the driveway.

367
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: He won't let me in the house.

Speaker 4: Okay, you don't live there right now?

372
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,399

Speaker 5: How did he to the children?

379
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: I would wind step and back of them, walk you out?

380
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, cut the door right in my cap.

381
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: Yeah I smell gas. So let me save my own

382
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: sorry skin and get out of here. Even though I

383
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: know two helpless little boys are in there with him,

384
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: where I smell gas. She even says, this is a

385
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: high profile case. You darn right, So what was she thinking?

386
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: Let me go ahead, screw this thing up, and I'll

387
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: leave and leave them in there, and there's more. Listen,

388
00:25:49,160 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to stop it, Sidney. I can't stand

389
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: to even hear her voice. She's in the driveway talking

390
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: about saving herself, and the house explodes. When the two

391
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: little boys are found, their necks have been chopped with

392
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: an axe, and practically all the evidence is destroyed. Yeah,

393
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Defects did a great job on that one. And what

394
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: about little Harmony Montgomery? Do you remember Harmony? Because I

395
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: sure do. Harmony Montgomery had been abused and mistreated. Her

396
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: mom deserted her, and she was with her father who

397
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: abused her. Even her biological uncle called and reported to

398
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Defects he had seen her with a black eye. What happened?

399
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: She disappeared. All that's been left found of her is

400
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: sometime of a gooey substance that was found where her

401
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: body was decomposing. We managed to match up DNA. Take

402
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: a listen to Dave mac in twenty four from Crime Online.

403
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: Harmony Montgomery was placed in the custody of the Department

404
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 5: of Child and Families in twenty fourteen, when she was

405
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 5: two months old. She remained in the custody of DCF

406
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 5: until February of twenty nineteen, when Harmony's father, Adam Montgomery,

407
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 5: was awarded custody by the Juvenile Court of Massachusetts. Harmony

408
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: Montgomery was last seen by her biological mother, Crystal Story,

409
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 5: Easter twenty nineteen, after the video called with Harmony. Her

410
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 5: mother says Adam Montgomery blocked all contact with her. In

411
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: November twenty twenty one, Crystal Story calls police and tells

412
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 5: them about Harmony and how she can't find her. Police

413
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 5: try and make contact, failing that, DCF is called. Even

414
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: though Harmony Montgomery had been in and out of foster

415
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 5: care for most of her short life, a judge placed

416
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: her with her father, and now nobody, including DCF, seems

417
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: to know why happened to her or where she is.

418
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Because she was murdered by her father after CPS put

419
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: her back in the custody off her father. And I've

420
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: got so many pages of cases for little babies. Children

421
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: are given back to their abusers and then die. I

422
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: mean this child has twenty water beads, batteries and screws

423
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: coming out of her rear end. How hard do you

424
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: think that was for this little girl to pass all that?

425
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: But yet where do they send her straight back to?

426
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: As I said, the lions den listen to this.

427
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 8: Police obtained the cell phones of Owen's and Jacoby. Forensic

428
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 8: extractions of Owen's cell phone show she searched online for

429
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 8: topics such as if your child drinks a lot of

430
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 8: nail polish, remover, what happens? And what happens if a

431
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 8: baby eats nail polish? And how many cases have there

432
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 8: been from babies dying from eating nail polish? Another sir

433
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 8: on Owen's phone was in how many cases have kids

434
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 8: died from eating water beads? Water beads, harmful water beads

435
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 8: near me? And beauty products that are poisonous to kids.

436
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 8: According to the Newcastle News, those searches were a month

437
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 8: before Iris was hospitalized from the water beads.

438
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: If these searches had been done after baby Iris went

439
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: to the doctor, they might be a little more understandable,

440
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: but they were all ahead of time. Jarrett Fiorentino, this woman,

441
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: this living girlfriend, nursing training. According to her, might as

442
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: well take out a billboard on Third Avenue and say

443
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I murdered a baby.

444
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 11: These I hear nothing more than intent. Nancy just lying

445
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 11: in wait planning the horrific these searches. When you consider

446
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 11: it happened to baby Iris, It's so much information is

447
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 11: gleaned from reviewing these cell phones. And as you said,

448
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 11: if these were after the fact, she could be looking

449
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 11: for answers as far as what happened Iris there before

450
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 11: it's before she passed these items, and clearly it's after

451
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 11: she administered these items to the baby.

452
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: You know, to Candice Alfarah and Frank Alfara. These are

453
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: Iris's maternal grandparents who treated Iris as their baby just

454
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: eighteen months old. What went through your mind, missus Alfara,

455
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: when you found out about the girlfriend's Google searches.

456
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: My heart was broken that anybody could do that to

457
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: a baby, let alone our baby. I never ever thought

458
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: that we would be living without her. I had so

459
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: much hate, so much hate.

460
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: When I look at these texts, I mean, these searches.

461
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, I want you to hear more of

462
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: the girlfriend. This is Alicia Owen's Internet searches. Listen to

463
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: Sydney Sumner Crime Online.

464
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: The investigation into Alicia Owen's cell phone reveals that before

465
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: Iris was hospitalized, Owen searched for symptoms of swallowing a battery.

466
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: What happens if a baby swallows a battery? And Mom

467
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Warren's parents dangers of water beads. Then over the weekend,

468
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: Iris visited her father and later passed the water beads

469
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: and batteries. At her mother's home, Owen searched medications that

470
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: can be poisoning a child.

471
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: Think about it, doctor Bethany, think about these searches. If

472
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: your child drinks a lot of nail polish remover, what happens?

473
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: What happens if a baby eats nail polish. How many

474
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: cases have their band from babies dying from eating nail polish?

475
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 12: Nancy that you know, I just think about what little

476
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 12: baby Iris suffered when she was in the care of

477
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 12: this woman. Because what we're seeing is, you know, the

478
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 12: waterbeats that were ingested, the screws, the backas. But what

479
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 12: we're not really able to wrap our mind around is

480
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 12: other forms of maltreatment.

481
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: What did she feed the baby, how did she hold

482
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: the baby?

483
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 12: What did the baby have nutrition? Did she hit the baby?

484
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 12: Did she, you know, drop the baby purposely on the floor.

485
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 12: I mean, these are just the forms of abuse that

486
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 12: are measurable, but as we all know, there are forms

487
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 12: of child abuse that are not measurable and that we

488
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 12: can't even fathom. So, you know, an eighteen month old

489
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 12: is sentient, is emotional loves of people around them. You know,

490
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 12: thinks of all adults as lovable, lovable figures, wants to

491
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 12: be held. And yet she was with this monster who

492
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 12: was doing inflicting all kinds of harm. It just makes

493
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 12: me shudder to think of what was happening in that household.

494
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: And of course you're a farantina. While a polygraph is

495
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: typically not allowed it to evidence at a criminal trial,

496
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: of searches about how to beat a polygraph absolutely are admissible.

497
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Listen to Rachelbania crimeonline dot com.

498
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 9: During the days Iris Alfara was in the hospital, as

499
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 9: well as the day after she passes away, investigators discover

500
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 9: numerous online searches conducted on Alicia Owens's phone for information

501
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 9: on how to pass a polygraph test.

502
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Back to Candice and Frank Alfhira, Mister Alfhira, thank you,

503
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: again for being with us. Uh huh When you found

504
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: out about these internet searches? What went through your mind?

505
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 4: I just couldn't believe that she could do that. I mean,

506
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: like I said, it's bad enough to search something like that,

507
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 4: but to actually go through it and do it to

508
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: that poor little, innocent baby. I just I don't know.

509
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 4: I can't explain. It's just hard. It's just real hard.

510
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Did you, guys, ever meet the girlfriend before this incident?

511
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 4: No, not really.

512
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: My daughter asked him if she could meet her. She said,

513
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: you know, because she was going to be with her daughter,

514
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: that she would like to have a meeting and sit

515
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 3: down and talk to her. And he refused, and Emily said,

516
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: just please don't leave Iris with her, because she's young

517
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: and it's not her baby. She won't have the patience

518
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: that I have or you have. And he left the baby.

519
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: He left the baby with the live in guys, it's

520
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: not just the ingestion of fingernail pause, remover batteries and

521
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: a screw. It's so much more than that that was

522
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: done to this little baby, Iris. Take a listen to

523
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,120

524
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: Doctors at UPMC Children's Child Advocacy Center are reported to

525
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: police that Iris suffered a subdural hematoma and bilateral retinal hemorrhages.

526
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: It was also determined acetone was present in her blood

527
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: and her body was found in organ failure. The Newcastle

528
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 2: News reports One doctor indicated the injuries occurred during the

529
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: weekend while Iris was in the custody of Owens and Jacoby.

530
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: Another physician indicated that because of the nature and severity

531
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: of the baby's condition, any reasonable caretaker would have recognized

532
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: significant alterations with Iris's cognition and function immediately after the

533
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: event that caused the injuries. Owens and Jacoby told police

534
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: Iris had vomited a few times, but otherwise seemed normal.

536
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: pre eminent medical examiner and toxicologist doctor Moroney. What does

537
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: all that mean? Subdural hematoma, bilateral retinal hemorrhages, organ failure,

538
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: high levels of acetone? What does all this mean?

539
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 7: What it means is that acetone was the least of

540
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 7: her problems. That baby was shaken and had its head

541
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 7: slammed into a table or slammed into a wall.

542
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 11: That baby has a brain bleed.

543
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 7: An organized red cell platelets, brain bleed just like a

544
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 7: car accident hitting a windshield, but it had its hands

545
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 7: and against furniture or a wall. There's multiple layers of

546
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 7: fatal incidents here.

547
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 4: This is demonic.

Speaker 1: Larry for Letta, a private investigator and founder for Letta

549
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Investigative Security Consulting. Larry, how would you go about proving

550
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: this case? I mean, we've got the internet searches. What

551
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: else would you look for?

552
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 13: You look at motive, what was behind this? I think

553
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 13: it's clear this was premeditated. All the researches that she

554
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 13: did on the internet, and the one thing about acetone

555
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 13: that I wanted to add as a retired dagent. Acetone

556
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 13: is commonly used to make It's one of the ingredients

557
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 13: that makes meth amphetamine. So it is a volatile substance

558
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 13: and it's extremely dangerous and that's why a lot of

559
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 13: times that meth labs blow up. So it's that dangerous

560
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 13: even handling this type of product.

561
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: So it's acetone acause, Larry, and all the years I prosecuted,

562
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: we'd hear about a house blowing just blowing up spontaneously.

563
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: We're like, some others said, do you think they had

564
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: a gas lik I'm like, no, they were cooking up

565
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: meth and it blew up. So acetone is what makes

566
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: the house blow up.

567
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 13: It's part of it's part of the chemical process that

568
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 13: the drug traffickers use and added with some other ingredients

569
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 13: is like free armed phosphorus. Uh, it becomes very volatile.

570
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 13: And that's the danger of acetism besides the you know

571
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 13: what effected it has in Justine because you'll see a

572
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 13: lot of the nothing ampelmine users actually have you know,

573
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 13: sores on the outer part of their faces, and it's

574
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 13: just it's really devastating to a human body.

575
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: Did you if Hearantino? Of course, the state never has

576
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: to prove the motive, but a jury is gonna want

577
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: to know why would the living girlfriend, daddy's girlfriend do

578
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: this to the baby?

579
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 11: Nancy. I've seen this and I know you've seen it.

580
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 11: It's jealousy. It's another little woman in her boyfriend's life.

581
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 11: It's a constant reminder of Emily, Jacobe's X and Iris's mommy.

582
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 11: I mean, that's that's what this is about. It's total

583
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 11: jealousy and selfishness. And and that's where we've seen these

584
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 11: kinds of cases in the past. This woman would rather

585
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 11: see Iris out of the picture so she could move

586
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 11: forward with her relationship as the only woman in Jacoby's life.

587
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: Kenna Alfarah Frank Alfarah, is this true? Why with the

588
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: girlfriend Daddy's girlfriend hate baby Irish so much? Miss Alfara?

589
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: She was so jealous of Emily and the relationship they

590
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: had as co parody. They were wonderful together. I will

591
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 3: say that she would call him if he wanted the

592
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 3: baby on a day that he wasn't supposed to have her.

593
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 3: Emily said here. If Emily wanted the baby early for something,

594
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 3: he would say, come get her. They were wonderful together

595
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: co parenting, and she was so jealous that she turned

596
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: him against Emily. Then the baby was in the world.

597
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: Once she got rid of Emily and made Bailey and

598
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 3: m separate completely as co parents, she had to get

599
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: rid of Iris, That's what I said.

600
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 4: The baby was a wedge between those two and she

601
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 4: was just jealous and she had it to get rid

602
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 4: of the baby, and that's what she did.

603
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany, have you ever seen jealousy manifest like this?

604
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 12: You know, Nancy, Unfortunately I have, and sadly, you know,

605
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 12: even in my Beverly Hills office with very wealthy, affluent families.

606
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 12: Once there's a divorce and once a child is shared

607
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 12: back and forth between households, all kinds of negative emotions

608
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 12: began to intrude. And I think one of the most

609
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 12: difficult things for mothers when their babies go back and

610
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 12: forth between households is the thought that another their child,

611
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 12: and they always want to meet the other woman. They

612
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 12: want to make sure that the baby is safe. They

613
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 12: want to know, you know, who is this person, Well,

614
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 12: my baby is interested in that person's care. But then

615
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 12: then when envy and jealousy began to get intruded into

616
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 12: the situation, it.

617
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: Is really really horrible.

618
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 12: And when defact gets involved to reunite children with their families,

619
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 12: they really want both biological parents to be involved in

620
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 12: the baby's life, even if they're in separate households, So

621
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 12: they tendnot to listen to these very nuanced situations where

622
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 12: they're it. He's left alone with a non biological caretaker

623
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 12: who hates the baby. And Alicia hated this baby because

624
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 12: this baby was the tie between her boyfriend and the boyfriends.

625
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: And speaking of the boyfriend to Hay with him being

626
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: the boyfriend, he is Iris's biological father. That's his first duty.

627
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: He needs to get the death penalty just like her.

628
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 1: They both need the maximum sentence. Why should he walk

629
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: free and her be the one? He knew what was happening.

630
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: It was happening on his watch right right, he.

631
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: Found, he found his daughter. He put that which evil

632
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: person first and his daughter second. When I gave him

633
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: that warning about the water beats, he should have opened

634
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: his eyes and watched.

635
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: What has your life been like, missus Alfara since this

636
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: happened to baby Iris?

637
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: My heart is broken. I will never ever know what

638
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: happiness is. Again, I'm not being dramatic. I'm not being anything.

639
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 3: I look at my daughter and my heart breaks, and

640
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: I think of my granddaughter and it breaks again. I

641
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 3: have to watch my daughter without her baby. I have

642
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: to think. I go past an ice cream store and

643
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: I think my daughter will never take her baby to

644
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: the park or to get ice cream, have her again.

645
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: How does she live with this? How does she live

646
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: with it? How do I live? Watching my daughter without

647
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 3: her baby with a broken heart.

648
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: Mister Alpharrah Iris's grandfather, what has your life been like

649
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: since Iris was killed?

650
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 7: Oh?

651
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 4: It's been horrible. I got a hole in my heart.

652
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: It'll never It'll always be there, and I just missed

653
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: that baby. I love that baby. And I worry about

654
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 4: my daughter too because of what happened here, and she

655
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 4: doesn't have her. She had outfits, matching outfits for both

656
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: of them all the time. Every time she took her out,

657
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 4: she always had her on her hip. She took her

658
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: everywhere where, and I just love that baby. She bought

659
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 4: her a.

660
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 3: Big, uh.

661
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 4: What's that called? Playpen? It was like five foot across

662
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 4: by six foot long, and I used to get in

663
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 4: there and play with the baby, and I just it's

664
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 4: just horrible. It's just terrible. I don't understand it. I

665
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: just don't understand it.

666
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you put one foot in

667
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: front of the other, because, you know, after my fiance

668
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: was murdered, I thought I knew all about grief, but

669
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: when I had the twins, my children, I just don't

670
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: even know how I could live or if I could

671
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: live if they were taken away from me. And I

672
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: want you to know that. Ever since we found out

673
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: about Irish, I found out because somebody tweeted it to me.

674
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about her case, but as soon

675
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: as I found out about it, I passed it on

676
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: to our whole staff, and we have been praying for

677
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: baby Iris, for you, the two of you, and for

678
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: Iris's mom ever since we found out what happened. But

679
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: I want you to know we are also praying for

680
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: justice and let it rain down.

681
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 4: We want justice, but it'll never bring the baby back.

682
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 4: Anything that happens, we'll never bring that poor baby back.

683
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: All we have is pictures and Texas and ashes. That's

684
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: all we have and a baby.

685
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: We will continue to highlight the case to hopefully make

686
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: the prosecutor seek the maximum. Please join us again, and
